Where are they?

Please bring me the shampoo.

Darling.

Where's Alekos?

Who knows? Probably chasing

an octopus.

- What's this?

- What?

Here, here.

I... um... sat

on a rock...

I felt something.

A little crab must have

been there and it bit me.

Give me a kiss, come on.

A crab with

a set of human teeth.

If you're in love,

crabs have teeth...

and porcupines

don't have quills.

- A falling star.

- Where?

Well I made a wish.

I don't know if

the star heard it.

Are you going to

be like this all night?

You haven't eaten a thing.

Eat your fish.

So that's why you

wanted me to start tomorrow?

He's always

been like that.

He once hit on me

behind Constantine's back.

Why today?

It's our anniversary.

This has been brewing

a long time.

What's more I don't feel the

same passion, the same love.

This is new. You don't feel the

same passion, the same love?

I've decided to

talk to Constantine.

- "My friend," I'll say...

- Friend, huh?

"I'm screwing your wife."

He could be screwing mine.

I don't like that!

You're not screwing me!

I'm not a fence,

I'm a person!

Why're you shouting?

In bed...

This is a table.

Knives, forks, plates.

I'm dressed,

I'm made-up.

- Am I made-up?

- Yes.

I love Constantine.

Let's go. Now.

I loathe you...

...so much.

- How much?

As the squere block.

Now!

- Little umbrellas.

- I hate them.

I love them. I shouldn't feel

bad that I'm keeping you.

Do I look like I mind?

- You didn't finish about...

- The love affair?

It was great. I was a student

in Germany...

and was vacationing

in Greece.

He left along with the summer

and I never saw him again.

- His name was Alekos too.

- It seems to go with the name.

- What should I do?

- Give it time...

What does time know,

that I don't?

You'll look back on this

one day and laugh.

If I strangled them now,

I'd laugh today.

DRIVE IN:

THE PERVERTED FISHBO WL

What're they doing?

Tell me.

Don't I give you

a good screw?

That's all you

can think of!

Didn't we say I'd be the

brutal exterminator today?

Today we'll play another film.

"Run, Lola Run."

Where are you going?

Get back in here!

Come back, people

are looking at us!

They can see us.

Come here!

Come here!

Come here!

I can't see a thing.

Where are you?

What do you want?

- You've got someone else.

- I want to break up.

Alright, fine.

I'll hear arguements.

What're you staring at?

I've never opened up

to a woman before.

I'm impressed with myself.

I've always said everything

to Alekos.

It's different

talking to a man.

You're not ashamed of telling

him that you're a jerk.

You have to tell a man,

while a woman knows it.

Why do I do this

so well, dammit?

I need an expert

to tell me why?

You swore you wouldn't tell

Constantine anything.

I'll insure this p*ssy.

Forward, soldier,

on to victory!

Go girls before it starts

getting kinky.

- Hey, that's my Vivian!

- Bye, Lilian.

What's the matter?

How can you sleep in your

helmet? Wake up!

What's happening?

Is the enemy here?

You're such a jerk making me

strap myself up here.

I told you I'm afraid of

heights. You take the top bunk.

Have you been

with my Vivian?

Are you kidding?

Before I f*** her,

I always ask first:

"Are you Lilian or Vivian?"

- What does she answer?

- No.

Then why did she ask me

where's the mole on my dick?

- So where did it go?

- Where do you think?

You're the one

with the mole.

Haven't you heard about

the twin syndrome?

Whatever one feels,

the other feels too.

Mine called me Constantine

in bed.

Then she explained

it to me scientifically.

Sometimes she asks me

how the mole got on my dick.

Those twins will drive us

crazy with that mole.

This will really

blow you away...

Last time, mine had an orgasm

without me even touching her.

Obviously yours was having

an orgasm and she felt it.

- On Saturday?

- Yes. Go to sleep.

- Sorry, Alekos.

- That's okay.

You needed to believe him.

You're not so naive.

I'm not, huh?

Just pretending?

You come, we screw, you leave.

That's no relationship.

Don't we smoke

and talk too?

Do we have to talk about

saving the seals?

Not only seals, Alekos,

not only seals...

There's the sea turtle too.

You only know 50 words:

"Baby, you turn me on,

you drive me crazy,

you kill me, take it..."

Our relationship can

be summed up in 50 words.

That's it.

You don't know

basic things about me.

I care about saving the seal,

the orangutango.

- Damn that pronunciation!

- Saving, in general.

Are you ready to face that

they may be madly in love?

Are you kidding?

And you're a psychologist!

I care about even the tiniest

bug in the Amazon!

But when I see you,

I don't think about saving the

penguins dammit! I don't!

Why did God create man

before woman?

First experiments,

then miracles.

Why haven't women

learned how to park?

Why do men honk

their car horn for no reason?

We're not going

to get along.

Good one.

Did my boy buy

panties wholesale?

A gift of 900 panties?

D'you think I'm a whore?

The car has

become an embassy,

but I don't know

of what country.

I forgot to mention...

that was the last time

we made love.

- Just so you know.

- What did she say?

What did you say?

Don't you dare

slam the door on me!

- I've depressed you.

- We'll talk tomorrow.

- Good night.

- Good night.

What?

The paper shredder...

It sucked and chewed it

and almost...

What can I swear on?

Tell me.

I wish I could help but

you've used everything up.

Graves, souls,

there's nothing left, dear.

I won't stoop

to your level.

What can I say?

What can I say?

What can I say?

I M ADE UP WITH:

THE A**HOLE.

LET'S GO TO

AM USEM ENT PARK. VENIA.

LOOK AT THINGS:

WITH HUMOR.

Having a f***, eh?

Having a f***, eh?

Having a f***, eh?

- Take your time.

- I would've told you.

So I'm finding out

quicker this way?

Don't take it personally.

It happens to everyone.

It's the initial shock,

you know.

- What were you saying?

- Don't stop... please.

- I'll cook some eggs.

- Will you eat with us, Alekos?

Oh, alright.

- Put some clothes on.

- He's talking to you.

I'll make some

french fries, too.

- You'll eat some, won't you?

- F*** the fries.

I'll f*** them, because

you've already...

Hey, she didn't go

with a stranger.

- I'm starving.

- It makes you hungry.

You're caressing

my leg.

Play with me, too.

I don't know.

I don't think so.

Was it the last time?

Will it be the last time?

Your coffee, Mr. Alekos.

Take it away!

- What's in the coffee?

- Coffee.

- Apart from coffee?

- Your problem...

that it's not pleasant

when you drink it.

I want us to talk!

You know.

It's not my fault that

I can't get it up.

It might be due to stress,

or pollution...

it could be hereditary,

or due to age.

- There's so much.

- Where are you going?

- Don't be surprised if...

- I get it up?

Heavy stuff so early

in the morning!

I'll drink tea.

Hirohito...

Nagasaki...

f*** me.

rip me apart.

Lakis Lazopoulos

Lakis Lazopoulos (Greek: Λάκης Λαζόπουλος) is a Greek playwright, actor and songwriter. He was ranked 83rd by the public in Skai TV's Great Greeks in 2009. In 2010, Forbes ranked Lazopoulos as the most powerful and influential celebrity in Greece.Lazopoulos was born in Larissa, Greece, where he received his primary and secondary school education. He then entered the School of Law at the University of Thrace and in 1984 received his Master’s degree from the University of Thessaloniki. However, he decided not to practise law but to pursue other vocations. In 1979, he wrote his first script for the revue Something's cooking in Gipsyland. SAY GOODBYE, IT’S ALL OVER NOW soon followed with great success. Lazopoulos joined the Free Theatre of Athens, where he performed WHY PEOPLE ARE HAPPY, followed by yet another successful revue, CHANGE AND CRAZE. The political situation at the time triggered the production of four revues of a more politico-satirical nature, written between the years 1982-86 by Lakis Lazopoulos and Giannis Xanthoulis: Haido’s Pasok’’ (1982), Pasok keeps harping on (1983), Blowing hot and cold on kastri (the PM’s residence), and Andrea’s taxing tolls (1985). In 1986 he starred in Lysistrata. The play toured Greece and was performed in all major open theatres, including the Theatre of Herod Atticus in Athens, to highly acclaimed success. That same year, he began writing on his own and staged I was Pasok and I grew old. In 1987, he wrote What the Japanese saw. For this latter he was sued by then-President of Greece, Christos Sartzetakis. After standing trial he is finally acquitted of all charges; while issue draws strong press coverage in Greece and overseas, including an article in TIME Magazine. In 1988 he stages and performs in Nicholai Gogol’s “Diary of a madman” without great commercial success. Nonetheless, he considers this performance a significant personal milestone in his career. In 1989 he stages “Greece after heart surgery” which breaks all records, while his following play “THERE WAS A SMALL SHIP” runs for two successive years and is a box office hit. 1n 1991 Lakis Lazopoulos stages “I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU” which, like all his plays thus far, he writes and performs in himself. In the summer of the same year he tours Greece with the performance “ALONE AT LAST”. This comprises a series of his most popular acts, and proves to be his most successful commercially since 1981. In fact its success was such, that another tour followed two years later, debuting in New York City. In 1992 he turns his attention to television, writing and interpreting fifteen character roles (both male and female), in the most successful TV series on Greek television to date, entitled Deka mikroi Mitsoi. The roles, portraying everyday characters satirizing contemporary social and political situations, draw great affinity with the public. Spurred by the series' success, the educational department of the University of Athens conducts a survey looking into reasons why Greeks everywhere, not only avidly watched the series, but also adopted expressions used by its characters. With its creator, Lakis Lazopoulos present, the findings were officially announced to academics, students and the press. Deka mikroi Mitsoi also takes part in the festival of Forte dei Marmi in Italy, receiving an Honorable Distinction. In 1993 he presents Prokofiev’s well-known tale of Peter and the Wolf at the Athens Opera House. He also plays the role of McKeith in Brecht’s “THREE PENNY OPERA” under the direction of Jules Dassin. In 1994 he played the male lead in a television film titled Girl with Suitcases directed by Nikos Nikolaidis. He follows this with a guest star appearance in the film “KAVAFIS”, directed by Giannis Smaragdis. In the summer of 1996 he writes the play “THE SUNDAY OF SHOES”, which goes on to be staged in Thessaloniki in the spring of 1997 and then Athens at the beginning of 1998. During that year, Walt Disney Productions assigns him the supervisory role of the animation film Hercules, for which he provides his own adaptation from English to Greek. He overseas the casting of actors and uses his own voice in dubbing the roles of Philoctetes/Phil and Panic in the film. In the summer of 1999 he plays the lead role in the film Beware of Greeks Bearing Guns directed by Australian director John Tatoulis. The film is a box office hit when released in Greece in January 2000. In 2001 he works on a film entitled My best friend, the script of which he writes, directs and stars as the lead. At the same time he also writes the theatrical play “TA LEME”, which maintains its position at the top of the box office well into 2002. In September 2002 he presents 12 theatrical monologues from the most important writers of 1700. more…
