All language subtitles for The Slap s01e06 Manolis.eng

ANDREW:
How many alcoholic beverages

had you consumed
on the day of the barbecue?

ROSIE: Two, maybe three.

ANDREW: And you're still
breastfeeding, aren't you?

ROSIE: Yes.

Do you breastfeed your son
to help him get to sleep?

Yes.

Even after you've consumed
three alcoholic drinks?

Well, not straight...

Not straightaway.
I wouldn't feed him straightaway.

ANDREW: That is most comforting.

NARRATOR: God is a cocksucker.

That much was clear to Manolis.

His honest, hardworking nephew
standing accused in a court of law,

a once beautiful young woman ending
up like this - pathetic and lost,

married to a drunk.

ANDREW: When Hugo was six weeks old,

did you leave him alone in the house

and drive two hours away to a hotel
on the Mornington Peninsula?

Rosebud, I believe it was.

Can the court
please direct the witness

to answer the question, Your Honour?

MAGISTRATE: Mrs Bryant,
can you please answer?

NARRATOR:
And all because of one slap.

God really is a dirty cocksucker.

I not like this lawyer.

His eyes not honest.

Thea, Andrew got me off.

OK, he saved me.

Judge say you guilty!
How did he save you if you guilty?

There was no conviction recorded.

He could've gone to jail, Mum.
Instead he didn't even get a fine.

(Koula speaks Greek)

OK, maybe we should all just try and
forget about it and just move on.

Thea, the kid wasn't holding the bat
when I hit him.

OK, so, you know, legally,

that means that I wasn't defending
Rocco and that makes me guilty.

Next time if that boy hits somebody,

who's going to
teach him a lesson, huh?

Jesus.

You got a cigarette?

Thanks.

What's up?

The stuff about
Rosie walking out on Hugo.

Andrew reckons
it probably saved my arse.

I owe you one, cuz.

He went in pretty hard on her, mate.

Yeah.

That's what lawyers do, mate.
They kick heads.

You didn't know he was gonna
say any of that stuff, right?

Of course I knew. So what?

Fuck.

Mate, I was charged
with a criminal offence.

OK, you tell me stuff like that,
I'm gonna use it.

I mean, you must've known that.

(Phone rings)

I've got to take this.

Hi.

(Cat miaows)

Er... Sandi, please, please.
You're guest, please leave it.

No, it's OK,
I'm just doing the plates.

Hector's wife
causes all the worries.

I think...

I think when they decided to
pull out of this trip to Greece...

When she pull out.

Well, when Aisha pulled out,
I think that's what got to Harry.

You know, he was hoping
that somehow this holiday

was gonna make everything right,
you know, with the family.

She doesn't care about the family.

Look, I don't
want to speak against her,

but she still won't come to my home.

She still won't speak to Harry,

and now Rocco and Adam,
they can't see each other.

See, I told you.

She put the stupid Australeza
in front of her own husband.

Manolis, I don't
want to make things worse,

but maybe if you spoke to Aisha.

Ohh.
No, she might listen to you.

OK, we're going.

Rocco's gonna be home from school.
I gotta get dinner.

SANDI: Thank you. Bye.
KOULA: Bye, bye, bye.

HARRY: Thea, thanks for everything.

Bye.
See ya.

Well, they gave Rosie
a pretty hard time.

I don't know.

Answered the questions
I was asked, that's all.

No.

I gotta go.

OK, we'll talk about it
when I get home.

Fine.

Bye. Bye.

Aish sends her love to you and Mum.

Harry and Sandi, they gone.
Sandi asked me tell you goodbye.

Sorry I, uh... I was on the phone.

Who's pushing you? Harry?

If Aisha and Harry fight,

it put stress on the whole family
and the family is my business.

You think I like this?

It's driving me fuckin' nuts.

Then maybe you
do something about it.

What, Dad? What should I do?

She your wife, put your foot down.

Oh, Jesus, Dad, I love you,

but sometimes I think
you're still in the bloody village.

Maybe I am.

Nothing it's, uh... nothing.

I gotta go.
No, stay.

I gotta go.

And just so it's clear, Aisha's
not alone on this Harry thing.

We're totally together on it.

Totally.

KOULA: Nobody ate the dips.

You had enough!
I had one.

NOW you had one.
Before, you had the whole plate!

Hey, where the fish?

I threw it away.

I tell you keep it.

Was sitting in the sun
all afternoon.

Cat is cleaner than they are.

You sound like the mavri.

She loves the animals too.
More than her own family.

She been good wife to our son.

Then why does she shame him?
Why she shame us?

You want Hector to be divorce?

And whose fault is it if he did?
What, my fault?

You won't even speak his wife name.

At least I know what's important.
My family.

My blood is always first,
not the dirty cats!

NARRATOR: Manolis had discovered

that the best way to control his rage
was to not even look at Koula.

NARRATOR: For that reason,

he had become an expert
on the water stain above their bed,

watching it spread and grow
over the years.

(Man on TV speaks Greek)

(Door opens)

Hi, Pappou.
Hello, darling.

Hey, Sava, what's wrong with you?
You lose your voice?

Hey, Pappou.
Sava wiped a booger on me.

Can we please drop the booger issue,
Angie? It's been resolved.

I didn't know you coming over?

Last minute change of plans.

Can I leave the kids with you
for a few hours?

Now?

I've got a job interview. I feel
really positive about this one.

I've got some loukoumi for you, eh?

KIDS: Oh, thank you! I love you!

You couldn't phone first?

I was in the area. I thought
it was easier if I just dropped in.

(Giggles)

Working for a literacy program,
help kids learn to read and write.

If you study, you learn. Easy.

Actually, it's not that simple, Ma.
These kids are underprivileged.

You talk to your cousin?

I've been busy.

He could call me.

Anyway, this whole business,
the court case,

it makes me very uncomfortable.

You think it's Harry's fault?

If you ask me, Rosie and Gary
had every right to do what they did.

I hit Sava before.

You tell police on me now?

You shouldn't hit him!

When he's swearing at me,
when he spits.

It's never right to hit a child.

Violence does not
teach children anything.

In fact...

Oh, Harry give that boy one slap,
one bloody slap, that's all!

I happen to be trained
in child welfare,

so maybe you should
both try listening for once,

instead of just shouting
over the top of me!

Fine, I'll leave you to it.

(Kettle boils)

No, hey...

Elisavet.

Elisavet, wait.

Hey, hey.

My temper... I sorry.

It's not you, it's Mum.
She doesn't listen to anyone.

Love you, Dad.

I'll be back around 5:00, OK?
OK.

I hate this episode. You promised
we were going to skip it.

Well, it's my disk,
so we're gonna watch what I want.

I'm gonna dob.
I'm gonna dob to Yiayia.

You're such a baby.
I am not.

Are so.

Oh, really?
Yeah, really.

69 years old, he's so young.

(Koula cries)

(Hisses, miaows)

I call Harry and Elisavet, they say
they can come to Thimios' funeral.

I left a message, no answer.

I call again.

Again answer machine.

Wait.

Arggh!

Grandpa.

Mum, Grandpa's here.

AISHA: OK, I'm coming.

She's coming.

I'll just go get her.

Oh, yeah, look, last couple of days

I've been getting text messages
from a number I don't recognise.

No, no, I just wanted to
find out if there's any way

I can get the name of the person
who owns the phone?

Yeah, I tried calling them back,
but...

Oh, OK.

Then, can I get the number blocked
so they can't send me any more...?

An order from the police?
Are you serious?

AISHA: Clean your teeth now.

Yeah, uh... No, no, that's fine.

Thanks, yeah. OK, great. Thank you.

30 seconds.

We got Koula's messages.
I'm so sorry for your loss.

Is loss for Hector too.

We're both back
late at work last night so...

Is this Mum's idea
you coming around here?

Right, well... tell Mum
she can keep her shorts on, OK?

I'm taking the afternoon off
and we'll be there.

No, whole family must come.

Manolis, I'm sorry but it's...
it's a bad day for me.

Yeah, Brendan's away, Dad.

If Aish takes the day off,
it'll shut the practice, right?

Is your godfather, same as family.

OK, um...

I'm gonna try and find a locum
to fill in for me tomorrow,

and right now,
I'm sorry if it seems rude,

but I am late for work,
I've got to get the kids to school.

See you tonight...

and maybe I'll see you tomorrow.

If not,
please pass on my condolences.

OK, guys.
(Children yell, giggle)

Yes.

ADAM:
See you, Grandpa. See you, Dad.

AISHA:
I don't want to carry your bag.

MELISSA: See you, Dad.
Bye, guys. Have a good day.

You heard what Aish said,
she's gonna try.

Your nono is dead.
His family is mourning.

Yeah, OK.

We'll all be there.
I'll make sure of it, OK?

Do you want a coffee?

Is fixed.

(Sighs)

See? Too much cakes.

NARRATOR: As Manolis watched Koula
pick his best jacket apart,

it occurred to him that he would
never wear it to another dance,

just funerals from now on.

He would never lose the fat
he carried around his middle,

unless it was
through illness and wasting.

And he would
never fuck a woman again.

Would not so much
as touch a young woman's breast.

Never again.

Dad.

(Speaks Greek)
Hello, darling.

Hi, Mum.

Hey.

Hi, Sandi.
Hi.

Harry.
Hey, Elisavet.

(Harry speaks Greek)

Where's Hector?

Isn't he supposed to be
a pallbearer?

It's time to go.
No, no, no, no, he be here soon.

Sorry, the traffic was shit.

Where is your family?

Aisha had a work emergency.
She's sorry, sends her apologies.

What about children?
It's a school day, Mum.

School? Rocco, Sava and Angeliki
are here. They haven't got school?

We don't wanna frighten them.

There's gonna be
an open casket, right?

Casket or school? Which lie is it?

Thea, relax, OK? She's a busy woman.

She owns her own business,
it's hard.

OK, I understand that.

Let's just go inside, hey,
get it over with.

Dad, listen, is this appropriate?

I mean, I haven't seen
the poor guy in 35 years.

I don't care
whether you see him or not!

(Phone rings)

OK.

? TRADITIONAL HYMN ?

(Man enters, singing)

? TRADITIONAL HYMN ?

(Bells ring)

NARRATOR: Manolis searched
for familiar faces...

the companions of his youth,

before family and obligation
came between them.

How did they all become so old?

(Singing stops)

(Koula cries)

Manolis remembered
the obligations of being Greek,

that he must shed a tear
for the dead man.

Yet try as he might...
(Woman cries)

no tears would come.

Then Manolis thought of himself,

the young man he had been
when he last saw these people...

with a life so full of promise,

a life now lived,
promise unfulfilled.

Manolis.
(Sobs)

Hey, Manolis!

Hey, malaka, you don't remember me?

Is this my beautiful Koula?

Thanasis!
(Laughs)

Look at him, senile already.

You see, Koula,
you should have married me instead.

After burying poor Thimios,
I need a drink.

You think he remember the address,
Yero?

(Laughs)
WOMAN: Thanasis.

Ah!
Thanasis.

Look at this place -
a boring, fussy old man's house.

Old? Maybe.

But boring?
Not yet, my friend, not yet.

Dimitri not here?

Yeah, I heard he was sick,
but who knows?

Teresa, she followed the, um...

aggellia thanatou -
she keep the death watch.

But since I got rid of her,
I'm free of all that now.

Got rid of her?

She had, um...

spasmena nevra,
a nervous breakdown.

I paid for the best doctors,

but nothing could cure the bitch,
so I divorce her.

But you say she sick?

So what?

What do you want me to do?

Be a martyr?
Sacrifice my own happiness? Gamoto!

(Laughs)

I got myself a Filipineza,
Antoinetta,

only 45 years old and still
in good shape, let me tell you.

Ah, my family thinks
she'll get all my money.

And you know what,
she deserves it more than they do.

Antoinetta,
she keeps my house clean,

she shows me respect
and we have sex.

I bet that's more than you can say,
eh, Manolis?

Ah, Koula, what a woman.

You know it's not too late.
We can still run off together.

Leave this malaka behind.

HARRY: New cars, there's no
artistry involved, you know?

I mean, for instance,
1968 Alpha, OK?

You want to make that thing sing?

Need a special touch,
you know, there's artistry involved.

New cars, it's all technical.

Maybe not a lot of art,
but, you know,

plenty of cash to be made, eh?

Yeah, I do alright.

Still, everything I got
is due to the old generation.

Hey? Isn't that right, Theo?

Well, well...

Aussies not like to work,
so somebody have to do it.

(Laughs)

So, um... are you a mechanic too,
Hector?

Me? Christ, no.

Oh, no, no, he's a brains, this one,
intellectual.

I'm with the State Trustees Office.
Right.

But he could've been
anything he wanted, this guy -

doctor, lawyer, you name it.

(Hector's phone rings)

Excuse me, I uh...
need to get a drink.

Yeah, like I said, smart.

(Presses buttons)

CONNIE: Hello? Hector?

Who've you told, Connie?
What?

About what happened between us,
who knows?

No... no-one I... I told no-one.

I need to know if you've
shot your mouth off to anyone.

I didn't, I swear.

Anyone, Connie, because I have
kids to think of, I have a wife.

I didn't do anything like that,
I wouldn't do anything like that. OK?

You swear to me?
Yes, yes! Of course, I swear.

Hector?

Hey, cuz.

If you've got a problem with me, why
don't you just speak up about it?

Who says there's a problem?

Listen, we haven't told anyone
about this, OK,

so you got to keep it to yourself.

Me and Sandi, we've been trying
for a while to have another kid.

Well, now it looks like
we finally got lucky.

Congratulations.

I just want you to understand
where I was coming from.

OK, I got a pregnant wife
to think about.

I gotta get my life in order, Hec.

And this court case
was the first problem.

The shit you brought down
when you slapped that kid,

I'm in the permanent doghouse.

Not my fault
your wife wears the pants...

Fuck you!

No, fuck you!

You fuckin' cocksucker.
Hey, hey, hey!

(Blows air)

Poor Dimitri, he's so sick,
he's got the evil disease.

I have been waiting,

refusing every tray,
waiting for my Koula to return.

(Laughs)

(Breathes heavily)

(Suppresses roar)

(Knock at door)

THANASIS: Hey, what are
you doing in there so long, old man?

Playing with yourself?

I understand what it's like
when you don't get to fuck anymore.

Ahh.

You know, if you can't
get yourself a Filipineza

maybe you can get me a mavri
like your son.

(Clatter)

What's going on?!

The crazy bastard, he pushed me!

You calling my uncle crazy?
Did you push him down?

Hey, leave him alone.

Dad, what the hell happened?

Here, Theo, get up, get up, come on.

He's fine, alright? I got it.

Mate, I'm just trying to help. OK?

Yeah, we don't need your help,
alright?

Hey!
Come on.

(Groans)

It was an argument. Shit happens.

Baba!

You're gonna
bugger up your knee again.

Dad?

My Pappou, he say,

to marry a woman
because she beautiful

is like eating the bird
because you like its feathers.

I marry a woman
because I like her voice.

Hey, come with me.

It's all here, all here,
this all Greek area, always.

? TRADITIONAL GREEK MUSIC ?

Ah, you see? THIS is music.

You ought to try Charles Mingus.

Oh, what? You think
I don't know Charles Mingus?

I listen to him before you born.

It's not too late.

Maybe I get a Filipineza instead.

Why a Filipino?

You can get a Russian cheap,
and they're Orthodox.

You think I joking?

(Mobile rings)

(Sighs)
It's Aisha.

I'm late.

(Mobile rings)

Oh, fuck, Dad.

I feel like I'm losing my grip.

Ah, this problem with Harry
is getting worse.

I, um...

I had an affair.

Was a much younger woman.

Was a terrible mistake.

Stupid.

And now it's... it's too late.

Can't take it back.

Yeah.

Uh... Aisha, she know?

No.

I can't think of anything else.
It's... it's eating me up.

I don't want to hurt my family.

I don't...
I don't want my children to hate me.

You are young.

When I marry your mother,

I know she have her faults,

but I think she loyal.

I don't know she already in love...

with Thimios.

Mum cheated on you?

By then we already
have a little baby.

So I do the right thing.

I keep my marriage together.

I put my family first.

Yeah, well, what you did was right.

Me, I'm a piece of shit.

I ought to go.

Come on. We can face Mum together.

You go.

(Rings doorbell)

Manolis!

Dimitri, look who comes.

Hello, Man.
Did you come to finish me off?

GEORGIA: Stop talking foolishness.

Bring us a bottle
so we can drink together.

Dimitri mou.
What?

I'm not going to drink
when my best friend comes?

? TRADITIONAL GREEK MUSIC ?

Yia mas.

He goes to university, studying law.

Go, then.

Ah, Koula never go
without the family.

Hey, Manolis. Hey.

(Manolis grunts)
Mitso!

Koula... Koula will
cut your dick off, Manolis.

Ah! I never use it anyway.

(Both laugh)

(Sighs)

May... maybe is better in hospital...

? POP MUSIC IN BACKGROUND ?
(Chatter)

Hey! That's not music.

THIS is music.

(Sings in Greek)

(Laughter)

Whoo!

(Clicks fingers rhythmically)

Are you OK?

Just... just relax.

Maybe is OK.

I just touch you, uh?

(Coughs repeatedly)

I will talk to Aisha.

(Murmurs)

(Sighs, chuckles)

Sorry.

It's... it's OK.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

It's hard for me to get out of work
without some notice.

I have a full appointment book.
It's OK.

(Sighs)

So, what can I do for you?

Aisha mou, I must ask you something.

I want you to come to Greece.

Oh, we've made up our minds.
I thought you understood that.

I ask you to change your mind.

I... I can't get the refund
on the tickets.

You... you can still come.

I can't believe
we're still talking about this.

Is important for our family.

Well, if you wanted me to come,
why do you invite Harry?

Well, Harry, Sandi, Rocco,
they you family too.

I have no problem with
Sandi and Rocco, you know that.

Well, Harry is sorry.
He wants to make up between you.

Yeah, right.

Aisha mou,
I always feel you my friend.

Well?

Come for me.

You see, I've got friends
on both sides of this.

And I've known Rosie a lot...

You will come to Greece.

I'll do what I think is right,
not what you tell me.

You have no forgiveness.

I'll never forgive Harry
for what he did.

Oh, one slap.

You know what I'm talking about,
and it's not that slap.

I think you must be...

(Sighs)

You must be
out of pocket for the trip so...

this should cover
the full amount of the airfares.

You know, I am really, really sorry.

Sorry about this whole thing.

(Door slams)

What happened?

Nothing.

Hector call.

He was very angry.

Aisha, she was crying
after you spoke to her.

(Phone rings)

(Phone rings continuously)

? Musical montage ?
(Adam speaks indistinctly)

(Mobile beeps)

(Sings in Greek)

(Greek song resumes)

Dr Ramirez, hi. Katie Freedman.

Thank you so much...

HECTOR: Ohh, Aish.

I fucked up.

Stop!
(Cries)

We let Rosie get torn to shreds.

And yet Harry got
to keep his secret.

I've known for
some time about something

which I should have told you.
