What If... Page #3

and she's not like the others.

And in the end, let's try it.

What do we have to lose?

I know, if you weren't a dog,

you would rightly mock me.

But, between you and me,

we are better with her, right? Isn't it?

I found a job.

And why is that something bad

that we have to talk about?

That is very rare, we have to celebrate it

and then make out...

It's not in Athens.

Where is it?

-Yannis' family has an architectural firm...

-Your ex-boyfriend?

-Yes.

-You still talk to him?

Sometimes, yes.

I didn't know that.

-He knew I was looking for a job...

-And he wants to help?

And where is this job?

It's exactly what I studied for

and what I like to do.

I've been looking for six months

and I can't find anything.

And it seems like I will never

be able to find any job.

I can't borrow any more money from my

family, nor be a burden to you,

nor my friends, I don't have a place of

my own, my stuff are in boxes

and I don't know what tomorrow

will bring.

For how long can I do this?

I'm not 20 anymore.

It's in Italy, in Rome.

In Rome?

Yes, his family owns an architectural

firm there and they travel back and forth.

It's a technical firm that renovates

buildings in Italy.

-You want to go?

-The question is whether I can stay here.

You expect me to ask you

not to leave...

They haven't seen such a wave

of immigration since the 50s.

Everyone is leaving like crazy.

When do you think you'll be leaving?

Can we pay?

That's what you're waiting for.

For me to ask you not to leave.

-No.

-But you are thinking about it.

-Where's the waitress?

-Christina...

Do you mind if I leave?

I'm not feeling very...

Christina?

Christina, wait!

For six months now, you are the one

who is working, sets our program,

you never back out on anything!

Not even once!

And once I have a problem,

you don't care at all.

Why shouldn't I think of my work,

my life, my future, myself?

-I don't want to depend on anyone.

-That's because I didn't ask you to stay?

It's because everything changes

and I don't feel safe.

-Is it my fault everything changes?

-No, but it would be easier

if I didn't feel lonely all the time.

What do you want me to say?

That I made you a spare key today?

Will it make a difference?

No matter what I do, you don't trust me.

When did I not trust you?

When did I ask for more than you can give?

Then, why are we fighting?

Because I'm scared?

Because I don't say

what you want to hear?

I may be more in love than you,

but never admit it.

-Why not?

-Because when in love, people say bullshit.

And I'm very much in love.

And I don't want you to leave,

I want to be with you all the time,

and I can't imagine life without you,

but is this all enough for you

to make such a decision?

-Yes, they may very well be.

-Why?

You have all these from me,

why do you want to hear them?

Because I'm pregnant you idiot,

that's why!

And I'm in love with you too,

and I'm scared of my feelings for you.

And I'm afraid I'll make a mistake

and regret it later.

That's why.

-I have many weaknesses.

-Me too.

-I mean, I have too many.

-Yes, I know.

-Do you want this child?

-If I'm alone, no.

The only thing I want, is you.

Whatever that may include.

-With or without a child.

-Just hearing this, is enough for me.

I'm surprised I'm even saying that.

But for the sake of moving on,

can you take this for granted, or

do I have to repeat it every time?

-No, you have to say it every time.

-Oh, here we go now...

-I'm scared.

-Me too. Very much.

-We may be making a mistake.

-Maybe, but since we love each other...

let's go through with it and we'll see

what happens. That's where I stand.

-And if we fail?

-Are you sure we won't fail if we're apart?

You're right. And if in the future

we get bored of each other?

No, you will never get bored of me!

-And if sex stops being so good?

-At some point that will happen.

And if we start acting like those

couples I make fun of?

Then you will stop making fun of them.

And what will we do with our jobs?

Why do I have to have

an answer for everything?

-Because you're the man.

-Now I'm the man.

When we met I was a neurotic, an a**hole,

a chauvinist and now I'm a man.

Yes, cause now I'm not feeling well,

and I want you to be the strong one.

And what will we do when

I don't feel well?

-Then I will be the strong one for you.

-Really?

Ok, I like that.

The fact that my left side feel numb,

what does it mean?

-You're having a heart attack.

-Heart attack? Too many changes!

Lonesome, I'm leaving!

Lonesome?

What's wrong girl?

Lonesome?

Come on, get up. Lonesome?

Lonesome!

Lonesome! Get up!

Lonesome!

What's wrong, sweetie? Lonesome!

Come on, get up!

Oh, yes...

The loss... it's hard.

At some point we all lose

something we love.

Sometimes even our self.

And at that time, you feel so alone...

I can't bear this.

-Please Antonakis, can we stop for a while?

-What's wrong Elenitsa?

Come on girl, what's wrong?

Guys, can we stop for a while?

Do you want some water?

I said stop!

Demetraki...

-I like calling you Demetraki.

-I like hearing it.

-Can I tell you something?

-What is it?

-Isn't this nice?

-Very much.

-Demetris?

-Yes, love...

I love you.

We're fine, grandma, but we're expecting

a couple over for dinner and I'm a wreck.

Should I put oregano or not?

Demetris, come help me out!

Lonesome has made a mess here!

Grandma, can I call you tomorrow,

cause now I'm losing my head?

We'll talk. Bye.

Yes, man, I see it.

I'm afraid this is only the beginning.

Yes, sure. Do you have to ask?

We'll reschedule for some other time.

Ok, bye.

Excuse me, have you seen

what's going on out there?

I refuse to.

All roads leading downtown

are blocked.

-Aren't they coming?

-How can they come?

-Then why I am cooking like crazy?

-How could they have known, Christina?

Are you serious? There's chaos out there,

and you worry cause they aren't coming?

-Christina?

-Can you put the baby to sleep, please?

Can you tell me why you have tantrums

all the time?

-I'll be fine.

-I miss things too, but I don't act like this.

What do you miss? Tell me.

You miss your job, your friends,

to get out of the house even for a while?

-You are the one obsessed with the kid

and don't want to do anything.

-Because there's nothing to do.

Cause I'm going crazy locked inside the

house, because I miss my job, my friends,

I miss being free to say whatever I want,

I miss not worrying all the time

about the baby and the mistakes I may make,

I miss not having to live prescheduled,

preset, in a sterile environment...

I miss me!

-Do you know what I miss?

-I don't care about you now, only myself.

I miss being alone whenever I want,

not having to explain myself for everything,

I miss not feeling guilty for having a job

and for loving it,

I miss not worrying about you 24/7,

I even miss jerking off whenever I want.

And most of all I miss my girlfriend.
