Papadopoulos & Sons Page #4

Society so work obssesed.

Tragic.

Right, back to work.

Some big names.

- Pop & Sons is still in the cash count.

What's the detential deal structure?

- That's the pitcher.

You still be key running

the business, but...

But?

- Money isn't cheap Harry.

These guys would want

the 95% of the company.

Leaving me with nothing.

I'll do the same thing.

I'd be CEO of Papadopoulos & Sons,

get a salary, get the house back.

My children's future.

- Beats Fish & Chips.

You'd be working for some one else.

- I'd be working for some one else.

By the way, I'm not actualy

running the Fish & Chips shop.

Just helping my brother relaunch.

- Sure.

Listen, there maybe another way.

Came up in conversation with

the Norske Velconan Bank.

It'll be a long line of a straight

loan to buy back the business.

Why would they loan to me?

Well, it's awesome.

Want me to look into it?

Sure, no choice.

- Okay, cool.

Gotta go, got an emergency.

Well, get this:

A high tech portable toilet company

that is litteraly gone down the tubes.

An internet ready, wireless

crapper, with waterproof

keyboards and screen.

For the love of God.

Because taking a dump

needed an overhaul.

So, some body's

gonna bury 'em.

In padre spiritus sanctus ect, ect.

Gotta love a down turn.

Laters!

I think we ecurrently doing

with your brother, sounds liberating.

I'm liberating myself from my

last 25,000 in dissused chip shop.

But it's llike a start up.

Isn't that the most

exciting phase of any venture?

Taking a bit of risk, developing

your product, and your services.

Learning about your market.

Look, some of the largest companies

on the planet never make a profit.

Like a real profit, it's all

accounting tricks,

and leverage debt.

What I'm trying to say is..

Does it matter if

the business is a small one,

as long as it makes a profit,

and the people who work there happy?

What are you doing working

in a place like this?

This is only temporary.

I got divorce recently,

came to london for a fresh start.

I'm actualy looking into

setting up my own business.

Well, I'm sorry about that.

About the divorce I mean.

I've been meaning to ask,

can I come and visit your

shop sometime?

There isn't one.

- When it's up and running.

It's a chip shop.

It's hot, on your feet all hours,

verbal abuse from

costumers on a friday night,

I wasn't applying

for a job Harry,

I just want to stop by.

It's late.

What are you doing, little man?

Trading.

I watch trends,

making trades based on patterns.

I dont' even look at the fundamentals.

- Fundamentals?

You know, capital employed,

gaining ratio, etc.

Not even profit or turn over.

Short term, but I can spot a trend.

I know what's gonna happen.

- So you can see the future?

And?

- Same as the past.

But to shot order from chaos.

I'm done for today.

Ah, Theo, Theo, Theo.

Sweet dreams.

- Uncle Spiros?

You knew my mummy?

Yes.

She was... beautiful.

And she was very kind to me.

I wish I had

my mummy sometimes.

It's very hard for you.

I'd make her laugh uncle Spiros.

You make me laugh.

I'll come out with some classics.

Real gems.

Wasted on this family.

You are something else.

We can hear everything.

Don't fall for him Spiros,

he's a little thinker.

Say the magic release poem.

- No.

Yeah, actualy say

the magic release poem.

No.

Theo Papadopoulos

is Hippopotamus

He's always making such a fuzz

from his toe to lots of us.

Ah, your kids.

They're something.

Don't worry.

I'm not to religious.

I'm a lapsed budhist. I do

everything a good budhist does.

Except abstinence.

Ear plugs?

This is a fantastic things.

Did you ever imagine..

30 years to go back here?

No.

Remember, how excited we felt

when we first got his place?

It feels like that again!

My gut says:

Poshalaskan polo covecod

What do you think?

- Should never taken out that line.

We'll talk fish

after we fix this place.

We'll talk fish

after we fix this place.

Katie's got some good thoughts.

Says we should keep the old look.

And she had some beautiful

idea about the uniforms.

Then you know the potential

yield at the plaza, Papadopoulos Plaza.

Fully developed

with 1,000 year lease

I'd have kept the free home.

I'm telling you Spiro...

It was good.

Not have been worth a fortune.

Worth, I don't know...

1,5 billion, 1,6 billion?

1,6 billion.

Big numbers, Spiro.

Big, big numbers.

Poor children when we came to the UK.

With nothing.

We start again.

Fat Laki, the weight

you lost is an inspiration.

Phil the Till, you

have many Greeks

with your tax friendly

till machines.

Ey, only two things are certain in life.

Death and taxes.

Unless you're Greek!

Then it's only death!

Nikos, Kyriaco, Androniki, Loula,

Uncle Panikos, Aphrodite, Maria

And of course fater Jimmy.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

stores in Palmers Green.

He must hated me.

People, hallo!

Sorry, hi.

Ah, just wanted you know this is

temporary situation for the family.

I'm curently negotiation with the

top corporate finance team

about requiring the assets

- He's had some sort of breakdown.

Tragic.

Thank you.

I officially anounce

of the "Three Brothers".

That's for when we launch sometihng.

- To hell with convention.

Don't rush me. It's been a long time

since I had meat like this.

What's he doing?

He's assessing the competion.

There's a reason why

Hassan is still in business.

Texture:
very good.

Way above average.

Meat content:
hive.

Mechanically recovered

cheap rubish, you wish.

This is a quality donut.

Nicely cooked.

With all the right

combination of herbs.

It's beautiful.

It doesn't mean we

can't take them on.

No. I'm not saying we can't.

Yes?

Sorry I...

What do you want?

That's a lot of Greeks.

What? We're going out.

- Not too late.

Well, she is eighteen.

We'll make a better product to

the cheaper price with larger protion.

We'll lose money on the

kebabs on the sort terms,

put the Turks out of the

business within the year,

make a margin on the

first and where the

rest of this crummy

street packed up.

We'll rise our prices

and cut our portion size.

The entrepeneur has spoken.

- Hey!

It's temporary, but as long as

we're here we do business.

You know, when he was a little boy

come home from school

and sit there, just like that.

Who was the third?

Brother?

- Michael.

He died in the fire without parents,

your grand parents in Cyprus.

In a war between the Greeks and the Turks.

But you both escaped?

Spiros climb down

and Michael who was... six

Yeah.

Drop me down.

I was just a baby.

I caught him.

But Michael, he...

Told me highly to jump, but he...

He ran right back in to the house.

I never know why.

One night everything changes.

I thought probably wanted

to save his mom and dad.

You know what?
