Swing Away Page #5

- I thought I'd find you here.

Marcos, you on the other

hand I didn't expect to see.

What brings you

to Stella's cliff?

- I wanted to show

Baba my special place.

- I see.

I have something here for you.

- Really?

- That's too generous

of you, Zoe, thank you.

- No, Stella deserves them.

So, wanna have a

little lesson today?

- Can I please, Baba?

- Sure, sure, I'll just

stand out of the way.

- Let's see.

Okay, I want you to

grab the seven iron.

Today's lesson is this,

you're gonna tee off

with your eyes closed.

- What, that's impossible.

- Nothing's impossible,

you can do this, Stella.

You just have to believe

it, close your eyes.

Go ahead.

Now, I want you to feel

the sun on your face.

Hear the sound of the waves.

Smell the salt in the air.

And imagine yourself

hitting the perfect shot.

If you can envision yourself

taking the perfect swing,

really seeing and hearing

yourself connect with the ball,

anything is possible.

Now.

See the shot in your head.

Take a deep breath.

Exhale.

And swing away.

- Woo!

- Bravo.

Great shot, bravo, Agapi!

- Baba, did you see, I can

golf with my eyes closed?

- How did you know

she can hit the ball

without looking at it?

- I have a confession to make.

I actually didn't know for sure.

- What?

- Yeah?

- Come on, that could

have been a disaster.

- Yeah, I know,

I know, but, I mean,

don't you find that

the best things in life

come when you're one step

away from catastrophe?

You know, like when

you take a risk.

- Yeah, I think

I know what you mean.

- Pappous, what are

you all doing here?

- We are here for the clinic.

And the free food!

- Okay.

Before we begin let us

bow our heads in prayer.

Dear lord, guide this

flock of virgin golfers

to replace their divots.

Teach them to not stand

in front of other golfers

when they're hitting.

Remind them to rake all traps.

Compel them to yell "fore"

when they ball may

strike someone's head.

May they enjoy the fruits of

the game and not kill anyone.

Amen.

- Amen.

- Let the chaos begin.

- Please stop with your balls.

Hold your balls.

So how do you win a golf game?

I'll tell you...

You throw your balls,

they get in the hole, and if...

What if you throw too hard

and it goes really far?

Cheers!

So you throw it 900 feet away

and then what?

- Then you lose...

- No, you get another ball.

- You either win or lose...

- No, it's very simple...

You throw it from here,

it goes over there...

Then I get my ball

and I run like hell...

We try to get the balls into the holes!

Cheers!

- Oh my god, it's him.

- Who?

- Henderson.

Henderson!

Get out of here now! All of you!

- What's going on here, Pano?

Who are all these people?

- Hi, you must be Mr. Henderson,

can I get you something

to eat or drink?

- Who are you?

- I'm your pro,

Zoe Papadopoulos.

- Zoe Papadopoulos,

you hired Zoe Papadopoulos

as the golf pro?

The meltdown queen of the LPGA?

What were you gonna do?

To hold a clinic

on golf etiquette?

- Everything okay here, Glenn?

- Yeah, everything's fine,

this has nothing to

do with our deal.

- Deal?

What deal, sir?

- You know, maybe today

really isn't the kinda day

we should be doing this.

We'll try it again tomorrow.

Antonopoulos would

you take these guys

back to the yacht, please?

- Deal, what are you

talking about, sir?

- None of your goddamn business.

- I thought we were partners.

- Oh, we're not partners.

You're fired.

- What?

- And that goes

for Ms. yips, too.

You can relax because

your little village

is about to become a

world-class destination.

I'm selling this property

to those two gentlemen there

and they're gonna build

a five star golf resort.

- You're selling.

- Sir, you just bought it.

- It's gonna be a kind

of a club med here.

We're gonna have a hotel,

shopping, resort, restaurants,

there's even gonna

be a waterpark,

and maybe you could find

yourself a job flipping burgers

at one of the many

convenient poolside cafes.

As for the rest of you,

get the hell outta here.

This place is closed.

- Wow, you really know

how to liven up a party.

- Are you okay?

- Of course not, son of a b*tch.

- Panayiotis, we can fix this.

- Oh, come on, how

can I fix this?

He has the money,

the power, the glory.

- You have the

power of your own.

We all have the power!

- Sorry, what are you

guys talking about?

- Come on, don't you remember?

All the work.

- Come with me.

- What, where we're going?

- Panayiotis, what is this mess?

- What exactly are

you guys looking for?

- My weapon.

- What?

- I'm going to destroy him.

- Look, this is not a solution.

Violence isn't the answer.

- Here, I found

it, the contract.

Panayiotis represented the

town in the land purchase.

It's the last deal we

made before closing the firm.

- I'm done with him,

this cheap, lying,

gambling-addicted bastard.

Be quiet, please! Quiet!

Sit down! Quiet!

Shut up!

The mayor is speaking!

Come on, mayor.

We're here to discuss...

The options to Mr. Henderson's

development plans.

What are our legal rights?

Options?

Rights?

What rights could we have after that idiot

Panayiotis signed them all away?

I have the contract.

Quiet, you! You're the one

who got us into this mess.

- Come on, let him

talk, give him a chance.

- The contract says,

"notwithstanding the

sale of the property

"by the buyer at

any future date,

"all development right are

hereby exclusively reserved

"by the village named herein

"and therefore any and all new

development of the property,

"both now and in

perpetuity shall be subject

"to the full approval

of the same."

Understand it?

What the hell does that mean?

Listen, listen.

Henderson cannot go

through with his plans

unless we allow it, okay?

- That hotel and the new

building and the parking lot,

the last thing they

do is put it in.

All right, Roland,

stay with me on this.

I'm thinking luxury

suites right here

to take advantage of the

five star oceanfront view

and then we go shopping,

shopping, shopping,

and then on that pad,

that one up there,

is where the Aegean sea finally

comes to face to face with its

natural enemy, the waterpark.

Oh my god.

It's the village people.

It's like a scene

out of a movie,

but they usually come with

torches and pitchforks.

Excuse me, people, you are,

Antonopoulos, come here.

Would you please tell

them in gibberish

that they're trespassing

on private property?

He wants you

to give up your own land.

The barbarian.

Thank you very much, that was

very heartfelt, what he said.

- You might want to read again

the contract, Mr. Henderson,

there is a clause in it

that protect this

land even from you.

You cannot hammer a single

nail without our permission.

And we do not give him

the permission. Do we?

No!

- Bullshit.

All right, it's a technicality.

I'm willing to deal

with some legal issues.

- That's your choice,

but I can personally guarantee
