YOU'RE HORN Y

I FEEL I:

I C AN'T TAKE IT AN YMORE

DEEPER:

Open the door!

I'm off to Kozani.

Back on Sunday.

I adore you. It was wonderful.

Constantine.

Hi. Have you parked?

Come on up.

The f***ing paper came!

My f***ing citizenship.

- You must be happy now.

- I am.

- I'll call you.

- I'll be at the gym.

It finally came.

You're flying high.

Alekos, I'm calling you

from Kozani.

Please drop by the house

and talk to Andrea.

Don't tell her

I called you.

She wants to

have an abortion.

- Please speak to her.

- Okay, bye.

You haven't called me

with any information.

I'll tell you up close.

- Can't you tell me from afar?

- I've got evidence.

- Is she at home?

- No, she's at the gym.

I'm on my way.

- Where are you going?

- To Miami.

Did you book a hotel?

It's a joke.

- Hello?

- You don't know me.

- Lf you say so.

- I'm a woman who loves you.

Because I love you, I want you

to know that...

your wife is sleeping with

your best friend Alekos.

Right now, she's at

the "Jump & Jump" gym.

- Everyone's jumping.

- Jump & Jump.

When you find out

who I am...

Everyone knows

she's screwing around.

You're crazy.

What're you doing here?

I can't believe our

relationship's over.

Well, believe it and scram.

How did you find me?

I ran around

and found you.

I'm going to tell

Constantine and Daphne,

but I've got something

to tell you.

I can't talk while

I'm running. It's impossible.

- Stop.

- How does it stop?

I won't let you

get rid of this baby.

The baby's mine...

unless it's his.

- What're you doing?

- You're a fool.

Don't increase

the speed!

Don't do that to me.

How does it stop?

It's like a motorway -

no traffic lights.

If it's a boy...

How does this thing stop?

Hey, pal!

Hey... mercy!

This is killing me!

What do I press?

Have I done something?

What have I done? Excuse me...

- It's for women only.

- What have I done?

I know there's someone else.

I've got proof,

but I don't care about that.

I want to know whose

baby it is.

- Is it his? Mine? Whose?

- It's his.

- I'm sweating.

- You're in a sauna.

Okay, okay we'll talk,

we won't just f***.

I'm to blame, I know.

We can talk about anything you

like... world poverty...

photosynthesis... the Ionely

distance between main arteries.

What're you

talking about?

How do those f***ing

camels stand the heat?

We can talk about the negative

aspects of this topic, too.

- Alekos? Hi.

- Constantine?

Any excuses or are we

discussing this in 10 years?

I wake up this morning and

what do I decide?

Or rather I don't decide...

how life turns out...

How does life turn out?

How does it turn out, Alekos?

You talk, Alekos,

I feel terrible.

You're not the

only one.

- This isn't a good place.

- Were we looking for one?

Are the two of us going to talk

about it, or the three of us...

or is the slut

going to stay?

- Should the slut leave?

- Yes!

Well, spit on me, go on!

Don't beg me, it's top

of my list of priorities.

Just move over a bit,

so I don't miss.

A**hole, what we had

was more important than her.

You prick! I've known you

since we were six.

How could you look me

in the eyes all these years?

- You think it was easy?

- It wasn't?

No! Pass me the shampoo.

Each day, I tried to find

the courage to tell you.

And you still haven't.

Of course nothing really

earthshaking happened.

- We didn't...

- I saw you.

The water's freezing.

We shouldn't have gone in.

You're unbelievable.

I'm serious. I was a black stud

in my past life.

Well, in this life,

you haven't slowed down much.

I've always envied you,

except for one thing...

that you can forget everything

in a few seconds.

- I don't remember that.

- How could you?

I was proud I had

the memory of an elephant.

But now I envy your

goldfish memory.

Everything would

have been different.

What are you saying?

Speak clearly.

Only if I make marriage...

not real marriage...

- then I stay.

- All right.

I've got a friend - friend -

He'll marry you and

we'll still be together.

- Constantine?

- You know him?

I don't.

Daphne say Constantine...

I not understand.

This friend say okay?

Oh, mama! He'll fall

in love with you right away.

What? My mama?

I fell in love with her. What

could I do? I was losing her.

I kept saying that

I'd find the courage...

and the right moment

to tell you.

- You'd remember, then forgot.

- That's it.

Congratulations! We'll never

speak to each other again.

- You're bitter.

- How else should I be?

Let's go to the

bumper cars.

After all that, I can't

look you in the eyes.

But it was true

that I loved you.

It's inhuman for a woman to

be wanted only for her money.

Find a woman

who really deserves you.

It's tough to find out

that her husband

is having an affair

with her best friend.

One thing I'll swear to you.

I'll never see Alekos again.

I loved you, Alekos.

You never realized that.

Here are the tapes from

Thodoros, and this is from me.

- What is it?

- You'll need it.

- What is it?

- Grass.

I can't even roll over...

how can I roll a joint?

As soon as you hear the tapes,

it'll come naturally.

You've got to beam yourself

over here right now.

I'm coming, but

there's no way...

You might change your mind

when you hear this.

- I don't think so.

- Listen and see.

It's so great to lie in bed

without a jerk on top of you!

What did they say

at the ministry?

The paperwork's finished.

- When I get those papers...

- She means the citizenship.

They're such morons,

especially my husband.

How did I keep from laughing

all these years?

I know, and you had to

do it with him too.

Thank God, mine stopped

touching me ages ago.

I used to stress him out

so he couldn't get it up.

There's no more pathetic

sight than that!

Constantine's different.

- He's...

- More of a sensitive idiot...

I don't know. The last time I

felt something...

You'll get over it.

Men never understand when

a woman has an orgasm.

All they care about is

how many times.

They'll boast they did it five

times and they might all stink.

At some point, I screamed so

much, it was so fake...

that I was sure

he'd realize it, but no.

They'll be sorry.

You should've seen mine...

whenever I pretended

to be suspicious.

So funny. Make a man feel

guilty and sit back and enjoy.

If Alekos ever finds out

about the will, he'II...

He won't. The lawyer's

a friend of mine.

If Alekos knew I married him

because according to the will...

I get the inheritance after

five years of marriage,

he'd not only stick around,

he'd probably even get it up.

- Maybe.

- Very likely.

If only there was a camera,

so we could see them crying.

- Where are you going?

- To the bathroom.

We need a big,

fat joint for this one.

- Unbelievable!

- Unbelievable.

- Are we two a**holes or what?

- Yes, we are.

I was wondering why that waiter

at the restaurant went nuts,

gaping like that.

They were doing touchy-feely

under the table.

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…
