A NIKOS NIKOLAIDIS FILM

SWEET BUNCH

WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY NIKOS NIKOLAIDIS

To George N.N. A serious fisherman and theoretical. E. Verhaeren

1st DAY

- Milk, newspaper... - Coffee?

After the rude awakening?

Cigarette?

Good morning.

Keep the change.

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name, and keep the change.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done so give us your opinion and leave.

Just talking about God in general, okay?

Are you making coffee? Yes, you are.

Marina is now making coffee.

So that evening, he got into his silver Porsche Spyder...

and blew into the highway at 100 miles an hour.

It was raining too. Okay?

So, he takes a sharp turn near Paso Robles, California...

he lands on another car, and his head...

was detached from his body.

On September 30th.

And then his parents hauled the Spyder on a truck...

and toured the States, while cashing out hundreds of dollars.

Why did you fuck up my story again?

'Cause I've heard it 20 times.

Do you mind?

I'm leaving. Will you come to the bar tonight?

Yeah.

So, did we get laid or what?

Get ready or we'll be late.

Move it, we have to go!

So then they wrote a song for him that said...

there was no chance he'd make it over thirty.

He was "too fast to live, too young to die".

Move it, the rain stopped.

Move it... Absolutely.

It's Sophia, who's this? I can't make it that soon.

Okay, I'll be there in an hour.

How's it going? Everything intact?

Watch me...

Navy blue sweater...

corduroy pants...

socks, underwear...

and my latest possession, this super jacket...

a combination of wool and leather.

- Get me one too. - You mean the same?

- Yes, but in green. - The same in green. Absolutely...

- Can you clean up? I've got to go. - Got to go again?

- I'm busy. - I see...

Unzip me.

Lay off, I'm not in the mood.

Come on silly, get it off!

- When is Andreas getting out? - At three.

At three?

- Can you check out my motor-bike? - What's wrong with it?

The oil's leaking again.

We have a bunch of those in the basement!

I don't like those.

- Want me to snatch another one? - No, I want this one. I love it.

She loves... her motor-bike!

- Argyris? - What?

Don't forget to find a car! And decorate the tree. Okay?

Okay...

So, I've got to swipe a car, find a brown jacket...

fix Marina's bike...

and decorate the Xmas tree for Andreas.

Shit...

Sophia's cigarette.

How's it going?

Are we dying?

One foot in the grave, is it?

Are we a mess or what?

Relax, you're a sick man.

Look...

I'll just sit here, while you go to sleep.

Who knows, you may even live.

Are you Sophia?

- Get me a drink. - Okay.

Cigarette?

Got a light?

Where have you been?

That's no way to behave. Dumping your pals with no explanation.

How's it going with your new friends?

I'm getting along fine.

There's just one minor problem.

As you left, you took something that didn't belong to you.

I mean the keys to the apartment.

- A loaded whiskey. - Okay, it's on me.

Cheers.

Hell's about to break loose!

- Did you tell him about the keys? - 'Can't have it both ways, can he?

Of course not.

Absolutely not.

This is a souvenir.

Argyris leave him alone!

This is Andreas... and this is Sophia.

You old bitch, you got off lightly this time.

What happened to Stathis?

Did they get him, or did he "choose to go"?

- No one knows, officially... - My dick! What do you say?

A bit of both... He was asking for it.

- So, he chose to go. - Something like that.

That Sophia what's-her-name...

- Sophia... - Weren't they close?

Strange chick isn't she?

What's she got to say about it?

- About what? - About Stathis.

Nothing.

You know buddy, I don't like the tone of your questions.

And I don't like you...

So, are you screwing both of them?

You've gained weight too, you asshole.

A stereo in the bathroom, a TV set, dolls and perfumes?

What are you pricks doing in here? Why did I, the sucker, go to jail?

Get off it man.

Five months in custody, three meals a day...

plenty of fresh air, don't bullshit me.

There's nowhere to hide.

- Name it. - Name what?

- Heads or tails? - Hold on friend.

This needs some thought.

- Have you ever slept with him? - Once, a long time ago.

It was okay.

- You don't want to, huh? - No, it's fine.

Toss it.

What's up?

Nothing's up. I won.

So, who's offering her body?

- Me. I said I won! - Hurry! He'll be out any minute.

- What the hell made you do that? - You didn't want to.

But you did?

Okay. Let's say I feel sorry for him.

I do too. I just don't operate that way.

Why are you complicating things?

You did it on purpose, that's why.

What did I do on purpose?

Stop you from sleeping with a guy you don't like?

As if you do.

Look, I don't like sacrifices!

- We should have tossed for it. - You're nuts.

- Yeah, that's besides the point. - Okay, let's toss it then.

If we're going to get this low about it.

I'm out of coins.

Then, go to hell!

That's where I came from, baby.

Excuse us, we're laying down the big game.

Hey you Andreas, why don't you like me?

- Why don't you like me? - He wins!

You okay?

Yeah...

Want a cigarette?

No... You don't either.

True... I don't either.

- Did Stathis live here? - Yes.

When he needed a hiding place, he'd come here.

Look, this isn't your fault...

The dice was cast and I was the bet.

- Heads or tails. - What?

We played heads or tails, not dice.

Should I turn off the light?

Look...

Let's do something else, because that cannibal is outside, and...

- Looking through the key hole? - For sure!

Then what are we waiting for?

Now, what do I say?

I've been in the slammer too long...

- I may be a bit clumsy. - That's fine.

Fusion... Very nice!

I have an idea!

No, forget it.

And my idea is to bust your head open.

That's why I love you.

You don't love me, you sucker. You love somebody else.

Okay, let's move on.

- I'm hungry. Let's go out. - I'm hungry too.

Let's go eat.

- You got any dough? - No. Do you?

- Nope. - Well then?

- Well then? - Well then...

Let's go eat then!

Hey, get me a coke.

Ice-cubes, lemon-peel, the works.

- I'll be sitting here. - Yes sir.

Cheers.

Give me yours. One eight-fifty! You ate well, huh?

Give me some cash, I'm broke.

Go pay and wait out in the car.

One coke... I'm so cool.

One eight-fifty.

Did you notice my shoes? They're perfect for kicking.

One eight-fifty for a coke? What are you?

An anarchist? A fascist, a communist?

- This bill is for a meal! - Fucking communist!

Want me to call the police? Is that what you want?

Argyris!

- Argyris? - That's the waiter's name.

So, we have the same name.

Come here Argyris. What did you serve me?

- A coke. - 'Hear that? What does this say?

- That's for a meal! - 'Hear that, crook?

Please don't shout! Whose bill is this?

- A girl's that was sitting there. - She paid for a coke and left.

A chick with a strange face?

I saw her stuffing that face.

Argyris, you got the bills mixed up, and the chick was smart too.

So here's for my coke and keep the change, you slime.

What's so funny!

Now, what the fuck are we doing here?

Stop whining.

Oh, this is great!

Excuse me...

Oh dear, this kid's manners.

Hi Sophia, how goes the revolution?

It's getting fucked!

A truly impeccable lady.

Any more weirdoes? No.

- Let's get out of here. - In a minute. Come with me now.

- What are we supposed to be doing? - Casually chatting.

Oh, I see. Lovely evening, isn't it?

- And lovely people too. - And plants.

- And food. - I want to talk to you.

I want to talk to you too.

It would be best if we were alone.

We are alone, aren't we?

What about the lady?

Where does he see a lady?

Say... "Ah"...

- Tell him to say "Ah". - How? Like this?

Wider.

- Like at the dentist's? - Exactly.

Did you hear what my friend said? Say "Aaah".

- Say it! - Are you joking?

We don't joke!

Argyris!

Say "Ah" you jerk!

- Done? - Done.

Now go and see if Marina and Andreas are here.

- Why would she be here? - I told her we'd all meet here.

- I'm not going, you go. - Okay, I'll go.

Marina?

- What kind of joke is this? - What kind of joke is it, Marina?

Having us wait here, among idiots, for an hour.

- Where is Sophia? - Downstairs.

Where is Andreas?

What are you doing?

Hurry up!

Just dig. Fast!

We'll leave this party holding cash.

- A silver lighter. - Take it!

Busted!

Didn't I say, always keep your back to the wall?

- That's a smart jacket you got. - You like?

- And who gave it to me, huh? - Your buddy.

Argyris this is a big fan of yours.

Nice to meet you. As I was telling Peggy, too bad you disappeared...

after that show you did on TV.

These things happen.

- Who's Peggy? - I'm Peggy.

- This is my buddy, Andreas. - This is Katia.

So, we have Peggy and Argyris, Katia and Andreas.

Or Peggy and Andreas, Katia and Argyris?

- Or... Peggy and Katia. - While we peep?

- What do they mean? - Never mind.

Anyway, I'm so glad I met you...

I believe you're a really huge... actor.

- He's huge in more ways than one. - Oh really?

- My place or yours? - The beach?

Katia this means serious blowing!

I want to talk to you!

- Now? - Yes, now.

- Get up and tell me. - Can't we go somewhere quiet?

Later. Come up now.

I killed a man this morning.

What did you do?

- What? - I killed a man.

What did you do, you crazy whore!

I pushed him onto the railway lines. And the train crushed him.

Come here!

- Who was he? - I don't even care.

It was just a back, and I pushed it!

Get lost you idiot or I'll break your neck!

I'll open up.

- What's wrong? - The punks are pulling a prank.

- Which punks? - Argyris and Andreas.

Wait here a minute.

Sophia?

Argyris, stop this nonsense!

The guys aren't here.

Somebody else has been here.

Wait here, I'll go and see.

Let go of me!

What happened in here?

It was bound to happen, sooner or later.

We'd better lock the front door.

Don't worry, they won't come now.

They're cowardly bastards.

Come inside and help me clean up the mess.

2nd DAY

What's the big hurry?

She looks strange.

Somebody broke in last night.

- Who broke in? - How should I know?

- Did they steal anything? - They were looking for something.

What's up?

Tell Argyris not to leave the house alone.

- Somebody's got to guard it. - Okay, yeah.

Did you understand what I said?

- Cause you seem a bit slow. - Why are you dressed in black?

Is it a statement?

Haven't you heard? Gagarin's dead. You prick!

- What's happening here? - She sleeps...

- "But I would not shed her blood. " - Okay, let's fly a kite.

- "Nor harm her lovely skin... " - Happy landings...

So, Mr. Know-All, are you better off here or in jail?

I know what you want to hear but that's for serious people.

So "Give us your opinion and go away".

She sleeps... She's doing a death rehearsal.

One-two... Testing! One-two!

Back off, the attack has begun.

Stathis is dead anyway, and his girlfriend pays "special visits".

So, take cover boys.

I'm hiding in a house full of stereos and dolls...

with a scum bag under my window, looking this way.

Hey, Argyris...

Hello?

I don't know where he is.

He's gazing at Marina.

Yeah right...

Argyris!

What?

Phone.

Who is it?

I don't know, Joe Blow?

Hello? Oh, we're fucked!

Nothing, I'm saying we're fucked. Totally...

What?

When?

Today?

Shit... I totally forgot.

There's no other way, huh?

Andreas?

Will you come somewhere with me? I smell a problem.

I'm in.

Okay, give me the address.

Where? 103, yes.

You pay for the cab.

- Grab two bikes and let's go. - Are we leaving Marina alone?

Marina? Marina who?

- Who is it? - Argyris.

I'm filming here, at 103.

Wait.

Strange shit.

Come in.

- Who's that with you? - Who?

- The man next to you. - A friend.

- He can't enter. - Then I can't either.

- Good one! - Alright... Come in.

After you.

Are you Argyris?

- Now what do I tell the lady? - Say yes.

You mean be honest? It's Argyris and Andreas.

- Are you ready? - In a minute.

- Hi. - What's up, Argyris?

- Real arty atmosphere. - Yes, lots of style today.

Look, I came with a friend. He's real good.

- Who? - Cool guy, strong and handsome.

- Is he going to beat us up? - No, he's ideal for the job.

You've gotten an advance!

But I've got the man for the job.

Hold on.

So, what do you say?

Discuss it with him, then we'll talk cash.

Wait a minute!

- Shut the door and get ready. - Hey, look, I'm not...

And no smoking, or everything will look blue.

Everything will look blue?

Tell that person to get ready.

We're all set. Ready when you are.

Whatever you say.

- I put my foot in it, buddy. - A porno film, right?

Entirely.

Get to the point.

Look, two months ago I got an advance for a film...

which was never made. This is the exchange.

- But, it's porn. - All the way.

If I do this, I'm finished.

Okay, I may be out of work, but I still have a career at stake.

So, you're the star, and I'm the sucker.

- Don't take it like that. - Oh, no?

- I'll be ridiculed. Don't you see? - Ridiculed, huh?

I'm not playing.

Fine. Then let's see how we'll get out of here.

You mean, if I don't play you're in deep shit?

Very deep!

- Well boys, did you sort it out? - Sort of...

Yes, of course!

Looks like my friend here was sure about me all along.

Okay then... Ready!

- We haven't discussed the money. - What money? Didn't you tell him?

- I need some warm up cash. - How warm?

- Fifteen grand for instance. - What's he talking about?

We're not even showing his face!

Not my face? Look at this bone structure, these teeth.

Eight, and I'm being generous.

Plus I've been in the slammer for six months. I'll ravage her.

What were you in for?

First I thought it was political reasons... then I lost track.

- That's deep. - So, we were saying...

- Eight. - Okay, up front.

- How much? - Eight!

- Plus one for the cab. - Eight and a half, and we're done.

Just hand it to my pimp.

Hey, I want you near me tending to my needs.

'Cause I'm feeling like a star. I'm going to be in the movies!

What a downgrade!

Easy friend, you're killing me.

Hey! Over here so I can see you.

Excuse the intrusion.

- Now lie down. - Move over, will you?

What's your name sweetie?

- What's her name? - Rosa.

Rosa this is Andreas.

Lights!

- You stay right there. - Just get on top of her!

- In cold blood? - Do you need a storyline?

Rehearsal for camera and music. Action!

This is damage...

- Easy sugar, easy! - Argyris tell him to start!

Okay, hold on a minute.

Come on, what's wrong?

I think it's that fucking cello.

So, you want another instrument?

Can we have some Muddy Waters?

No, you can't have Muddy Waters!

And this chick sucking on her gum.

Everyone chews gum in here!

Just think of the dough!

And you doll, get that gum out of your mouth.

She can't hear, she's deaf too.

See? Nothing wrong with the girl.

Rosa do something, help him take off his underpants, you know.

Fine... If he gets his elbow off my stomach.

- Alright, I'm sorry. - That's better.

Now, let's see how "junior" is doing.

You think it's funny? I'll get you back.

- What's happening? - Keep at it and we'll see.

Look here Andreas, we all have things to do.

We can't spend all day in here.

Ready? Lights, camera, music, action!

This can't be fucking happening.

- How long have you been there? - I just got here.

Where were you?

In the kitchen.

You want some coffee?

No. Any cigarettes around?

I must have left them somewhere.

- Are you alright? - Yes, why?

Just asking.

Remember what you told me?

- About what? - The man you killed in the subway.

Yes...

- Is it true? - Yes.

Was there anything in the papers?

I don't know.

- Where are the guys? - I haven't seen them.

I did, this morning. How come you didn't?

I was sleeping.

When I woke up, there was nobody around.

- What sort of man was he? - Who?

The one you killed.

I don't know. I just saw a back and I pushed it!

- I don't suppose you told them. - I didn't see them.

I'm going to make a coffee.

Leave it.

Hello?

It's for you.

Hello?

Where are you?

What are you doing there? You are ill.

Hold on.

I can come, but it'll be a while.

Okay, I'll find a faster way.

Wait in the car, don't stand in the cold.

I'm on my way.

I'm off.

So I see... Where to?

I don't know... A field trip.

- Are you taking the car? - Yes.

It's dangerous to drive around in that car.

What can I do? I've got to see him.

Wait downstairs. We'll leave together.

Okay.

Is it safe in here?

Why what's up?

You'll never see me again.

What happened?

I think I'm being followed.

Listen... Last night, somebody broke in and searched the house.

This morning, there was a man outside watching.

Anybody from your gang into drugs?

No.

Well... you shouldn't have come here.

I see... So, I should've just sat and waited.

Let them notice the people you send me...

and let them nab you?

Okay, you're right. But that man is no cop.

- How do you know? - I know.

Whatever he is, we're in for big laughs.

Take this too.

- That's a lot man! - I know it is.

And it's my last.

Come into my arms.

You have a fever, you know that?

What an endless story you are!

Aren't you going to ask where I got the car?

It's stolen.

How do you know?

The window's broken.

What else?

The keys are missing.

That's why I love you.

And what else?

What else?

I know the sort of people you hang out with.

Well?

Something's happening.

And I'm scared.

I don't know.

Not again you asshole!

Come on Andreas. That's my boy.

Come on you hunchback!

Keep the change!

A smoke?

It's empty.

Get out of the way!

- What is this? - A remarkable event.

Move that ass!

- Who's she? - That's...

Hey Rosa!

Marina. Rosa.

Hello.

Hello to you too!

Give me a break!

Where did you find this disaster?

- Who is she? - That's Marina.

Just fix the status here okay?

- We have to talk. - Now, don't break my balls!

- Is she your girlfriend? - No, she's The Guns of Navarone.

- Things are serious. - Meaning?

- Let's go inside. - Tell me first, and then we'll go.

Sophia killed someone.

- How do you know? - She told me.

Attaboy!

She pushed him, and the train ran over him.

Bullshit! Andreas continue!

Get this slob out of here, he's driving us nuts!

You stick to your job.

Do I see development here?

It could open cans too. If you'd only shut up and focus!

- There's more. - More?

There's a guy under our window.

I saw him standing there this morning.

- And twice on the stairs. - The stairs?

- What was he doing there? - Leaving, I guess.

- You think he broke in here? - I don't know.

Okay, come with me.

Set up the camera.

- What are you bastards doing? - Nothing.

We've discovered a guy who's watching the house.

You mean the queer in the black coat? Big deal.

- One of yours? - What the fuck is she saying!

- Andreas, we're in trouble. - Might put a little life into us.

Hear that? He digs trouble.

She's all we need now.

- Argyris? - I see...

All yours buddy.

Hi. Can I join you?

Okay, park yourself.

Alright then. I mean shit, and it's hitting the fan.

Add your friend's tale too. Sophia's.

She's pushing this crazy story, that she killed a man...

- Hey Argyris! - What? Rosa? She's cool.

- Aren't you, Rosa? - Okay.

She pushed him onto the railway tracks, and the train crushed him.

I knew one of her screws was loose!

So, there's a badge stalking us, on her account?

You think there's a connection?

Like what?

He's trying to say, maybe the guy is watching...

because Sophia killed someone.

That's why he's watching. Right?

Right... but you're confusing us a bit.

- I say we do something. - Like what?

- Get him upstairs. - How?

Argyris get the window!

Get up here you scum bag... or I'll slice her right now!

Help!

Louder!

He's coming up. Get the stairs!

Window, Marina!

- What's wrong? - I'm scared.

Blond guy!

They blew it.

- He got into a car and left. - Rosa said he left in a car!

Who put the music on?

I did.

Anybody want some coffee?

So, who gets to choke her?

This is a circus, you know?

Stop fucking with that before you cut a finger off.

- Who are you? - I'm Rosa. You must be Sophia.

What are you doing in here?

I made coffee for everyone. Excuse me now, okay?

So, what's going on in here?

Why are you frozen, like a bunch of mummies?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

You just missed him.

- Are you talking to me? - Yeah, I'm talking to you.

- She's playing stupid. - What's happened?

The creep outside just "happened" to leave.

I wouldn't worry. He's probably just a pervert.

So... Now what?

I say you all pack, and find somewhere else to crash.

Because if you stay, it won't be pleasant.

Tell your friend, I don't like that tone.

I don't give a shit! I pay the rent, and everything here.

So do as I say.

Hey, we've put some dough into this joint too.

So you did. But I put in most of it.

- You're so tough... - And I'm telling you to split.

This business isn't for small-time crooks.

- Who are they? - She means us, of course.

I told you I can't stand her, didn't I?

I wonder why Stathis hung around with her.

Don't ever speak of him again!

I fucked up my life for people like you and Stathis!

- And when I got out of jail... - Shut up!

You shut up! He was found face down on a pavement.

With me he was safe! But left in your hands...

- In my legs you mean! - Fuck you, you bitch!

Andreas!

Downstairs!

Our man!

He looks like a bit of a homo.

Totally.

And his shoes... the shoes!

Real sporty.

What are you laughing at, scum?

He's fucking clean!

Who sent you here scum bag?

Speak up, you cunt cop!

Back off Andreas. Beating him is the excuse they need.

Relax.

What's this creep doing here?

What happened?

Nothing happened. Everything is just fine.

Don't let her go out alone.

- Where to? - To get a good look at him.

A good look at him, huh? Argyris, go to the front.

There he is.

Take me closer.

- Very impressive. - I don't think he smokes.

- What are we doing? - Shut up!

He's probably a pervert.

Since you seem to feel like the boss around here...

make sure nobody robs the place. Okay pal?

I want to get off.

What's wrong?

Nothing. I just want to get off... Please.

You're staying here.

We're not getting anywhere this way.

Why did we stop?

This is where you get off.

Me? Why? What did I do?

Nothing. You're just getting off.

Rosa, I think this is the end of a beautiful friendship.

- You mean Rosa take a hike. - It's not personal.

- These are just difficult times. - Difficult times my ass.

- Come on, Rosa. Get lost. - Just like that, huh?

Should we get a band to see you off?

No, I do have some dignity.

Bye Rosa...

Yeah, nice to meet you!

Mother fuckers!

Ok, let's move on.

- We're listening... - Why me?

Because you're acting like the ruler.

Fine. I want all of you to leave the house.

I agree.

I'm new here, but I'll agree anyway.

- Well said! - Stop jerking off.

- Can we leave now? - No, you can't.

You're staying here, till we find a solution.

And stop acting stupid okay?

There's a guy outside our house and we don't know what he wants.

- Is that what's bothering you? - The man downstairs?

- No. - We're off then.

Off to fly a kite, right?

- Oh... fuck! - What?

We're screwed. Don't look!

- Are we surrounded? - Yeah, by the chicks!

- What chicks? - The ones we stole from.

- What's up? - Don't get up.

What a reunion, right Argyris?

So, how's it going?

Splendid! Say hi to Katia.

Katia!

Well then...

We'll be right over there watching you.

We'd like a couple of words with you.

Actually, more than a couple.

How much more?

I'd say... thousands more.

Yeah right, dream on!

Go count it.

So, see you in a bit okay? Let's go.

There's some tension, so I'll go over before they start screaming.

- What do you care? - Are we a team? No.

What are you going to do?

I'm staying.

But, I think your friend said that she'd rather be alone.

My friend is cool and straight.

So, I'm staying no matter what she says.

The question is, what are you two going to do?

Probably find someplace else to crash.

Because Sophia said so?

- Or because you're scared? - Of what?

Our "friend" downstairs.

Hey listen, if Sophia needs help all she has to do is ask.

- Well? - Leave.

I think your friend is afraid of something serious.

We're leaving.

Humping on a yacht again?

Any objections?

I'll call you.

We're off.

Now that we've played it strong and casual, what's next?

I'm not going home with that guy down there.

Can you come with me tomorrow morning?

I'll go anywhere you want tomorrow. Tonight is the problem.

Let's get out of here. He's got company.

Let's go find a phone.

That's for me.

Hello?

Argyris?

Yeah... It's a bad connection.

We've got trouble.

Blondie's ouside the house. He's not alone.

Yeah, stay away from there.

We're at the square.

Sure, the square... Fine.

All is quiet, right? Any thieves around?

Our man.

Doing your duty old creep, right?

She's waiting.

We'd better split, and let them sort it out.

We're gentlemen, right?

Would you mind giving me back my lighter?

I think you're trying to tell me something mister Rat.

What a sucker you are pal.

They've packed your brain full of shit...

and you haven't even noticed.

Want to come upstairs?

What did you expect?

Did I ask anything?

Let's drink to Blondie!

Who wants to make love to me?

What do you think?

Whoever feels like it.

Cut it out, Andreas.

Marina?

Alright.

Look, I may hate you...

but somebody's got to take this beautiful body of mine.

3rd DAY

Good morning.

What's this?

Can I come up?

Now!

Get that off!

Help! Let me out!

Shut up!

Keep still!

Get this lid off me!

Come on. Let's get out of here!

Let me out, you sluts!

I can't... My skirt's caught.

- Hi Sophia. - Argyris I want a word with you.

- Why's she back? - She's got a job for us.

Isn't the guy outside enough? You need a skank too?

The mouth on this woman!

I know. Why do we associate with her?

What kind of job?

Something like four hundred, in gold.

- What if it's a set up? - By whom and why?

The cops! They'll corner us for sure.

We're driving a stolen car. We roughed up Blondie...

and now you're worried about the cops?

And when do we do it?

- Today... Rosa, is that okay? - Sure!

Do we get to hear the secret?

Absolutely.

Our sweet Rosa here...

is acquainted with a rich gentleman...

who has the highest regard for her.

First, tell them what the deal is.

Oh yes, Rosa wants 50 percent and we get the other 50. Okay?

Is that so?

I think it's fair. I mean it was her idea.

I'm in!

Hey, I'm in too!

We're all in, right?

Now, I've got a plan here.

We've got to do this after 9:00 pm...

so the shops will be closed and the streets empty.

The warehouse is in the basement. It's got three windows, okay?

- Wait! What's that? - It's just a smudge!

I'll leave this window open. Jump in, go down the hall and...

Leave my ass alone Andreas!

He's making me laugh!

Go on Rosa.

Jump in, and pass the hallway...

I'll be with the old man, first door on the right, okay?

- You carrying a weapon? - Yes I am.

- You don't like this place. - Not at all!

- Me neither. - Nobody's asking me.

Take Sophia and go up those stairs.

- And you? - We'll come up the other way.

Marina. Let's go over to the big office!

There's your girl!

- Fifty percent! - Yeah, right.

Come on, hurry up!

Nice key... gold chain included.

Read it, loud and clear.

Five, turn right, three.

Ninety two, turn left, four.

Hey hurry up, she can't wag her ass forever.

Heaven?

Oh... a blessed sight!

Gold sovereigns!

Listen! The music's stopped!

Andreas. Go see what's happened!

What happened?

He conked out and told me to put this in his mouth. What do I do?

Wait!

- Grab a pillow. - From where?

Some armchair, whatever!

- What's the matter? - She destroyed him.

- Is he dead? - Who knows?

Go start the car. I'll be out in a minute.

Hurry up though!

- Is there a phone around? - On the desk.

Did you find the gold coins?

Is that all you can think of?

- Go now! - Where?

Downstairs, they are waiting!

I can't go out like this!

Get your ass downstairs!

Don't stare like that, 'cause he's watching you.

That's just what I want.

Argyris... Rosa wants her money.

What money?

That's what I said.

The money you took from the safe.

Did we take any money from the safe?

Of course not... That's what I said.

Soon as we started searching... she started screaming.

That's what you say.

Yeah. What do you say?

I say you took it, and want to con me!

You think we took it, and now we're pretending?

Exactly! You took the money and now you're pretending.

- Andreas? Rosa wants her money. - What money?

Haven't a clue, buddy.

Okay Andreas. Give me 30 percent.

You can do better than that.

What are you talking about Rosa?

Don't look at me.

- It's them you made the deal with. - Forget it, Rosa. We fucked up.

You know something?

You're a bunch of bastards and I'm sorry I met you.

Got any gum?

Where are you off to?

I don't know... I'm leaving.

- And where are you going? - Wherever I want!

- Okay, go wherever you want. - Exactly.

Well, if you ever happen to come this way...

there's a key in this flower-pot.

Just take it, open the door and step right in.

Andreas, you weren't straight, you know?

What about you, Rosa? Fifty percent!

Do we look like aspirin peddlers?

Bye.

How many down there?

- Just one. - That's what you think.

Do you know this?

It's from "Fra Diavolo".

Why don't they get this over with?

They're already doing things.

But first they have to drive us nuts.

Then, they'll fence us in here and butt fuck us!

4th DAY

So that evening, he got into his silver Porsche Spyder...

and blew into the highway at 100 miles an hour.

Then, at some turn near Paso Robles, California...

he landed on another car...

and his head was severed from his body.

Where are you going?

Somewhere... a place to chill.

- What's going on up there? - Everything's just fine up there.

Look...

If you want to sleep with me... It's cool.

You know what?

- What? - That's not my style.

Well, what did you expect?

I don't know.

Something different. But not like this.

I'm going for a walk.

At least if you're not acting out of fear or boredom...

or a comrade-like spirit.

Do you love me... a little?

Didn't we say no heavy words?

Absolutely... So, how does it work with you?

Zippers go down, a "bang" and it's over?

I can't afford more.

Absolutely!

Now... let's have a little lesson in Anatomy.

This here is the brain always hungry for the truth...

but is never given enough of it.

And this here is the stomach... always hungry for food.

And this here is the sex.

And it's hungry for love, 'cause it gets lonely sometimes.

In my lifetime, I satisfied all three...

as much as I liked and could.

Now, you may have fed your stomach...

not much, mind you.

But as far as truth and love...

...nothing, nothing, nothing.

Only hot air, poses and charades!

"He lets her go. "

The lesson is over...

You may go now!

What's going on down there?

See for yourself.

Put that down!

Why?

- Just hang up! - Why?

'Cause it's tapped, that's why.

But, I have to make a phone call.

Use a payphone!

- Where's Argyris? - Downstairs, he's busy.

How much?

What can I say?

What can he say?

He could say... One fifty.

You're taking the camera too, or forget it!

Alright, the camera too. How much?

- Three hundred. - Two.

And we won't break his nose.

I said three.

Stop being petty.

Three for all this, plus a couple of motor-bikes.

Those guys outside the house... Who are they?

Customers.

What do they want?

So, are the butts cramming down there?

It's been quite lively today.

They'll hit us in broad daylight...

then plant some blow in our pockets...

and call it a gang settlement.

Fucking pricks!

A junkie bust!

She's exaggerating but, whatever.

Can you hear me scrotum? I'm going to ax your balls!

Was I good?

Perfect!

- Are you going somewhere? - With Sophia.

And you?

He's coming with me.

Here, take it.

I won't be long.

How long?

Meet you here in an hour.

And they wrote a song for him, that said...

there's no chance he'd make it over thirty.

He was "too fast to live, and too young to die".

Are you alone? It's Sophia. I have to leave the house.

If things weren't getting tight I wouldn't bother you, understand?

I'm dragging three people down with me and it's not their fault!

No, it's all or none of us.

Yeah, give me the address.

Nice place your friends sent us to hide.

Let's get out of here!

- Where's our man? - I don't see him.

You think he's inside?

We'll soon find out.

- Second. - First.

- Third. - Second.

- First. - All yours.

Who fucking did this?

Lay off the insanity now!

- Where are you going? - I know where.

Come on, the girl needs help. They've messed her up! Careful!

Rosa, who did it? The blond guy?

Marina, grab a blanket!

- Who was it? The blond guy? - Yes!

Was he alone? Were there more?

Yes!

Argyris come here.

- Where are we going? - To a hospital, I don't know!

Are we supposed to stay here alone?

- I'll take her. You stay here. - Stay...

Let go!

Gently now.

What's that for?

You're going to leave too.

What have you got in mind?

I've got shit in mind, but you've got to leave.

And keep everyone away till morning.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Help her lie down. I'll be right back.

If Rosa dies, you're dead.

If she pulls through, you're still dead.

So don't go away, I'll be back. Okay?

5th DAY

What have you done, you goddamn bitch?

- What happened? - Get out, please.

- Is Sophia alright? - She's taking a bath.

Can't I see? What's wrong with Sophia?

Sophia is fine.

What's that?

Please go! We'll be out in a minute.

What have you done, you psycho?

Nothing...

- I killed him, a little. - Killed him, a little.

Now, get out of there.

We have to ditch him.

Where?

In a gutter... or a well somewhere out of town.

No way. The blond guy was assigned to us.

His absence will lead to us.

In short, we're talking murder.

What's happening upstairs?

He's still alive. Breathing and all the rest.

Fine... Let him twitch on the hook a bit longer.

'Cause he thought he was smart.

Anyway, whoever wants to leave has to go now.

Soon we'll all be trapped in here like mice.

What are you trying to prove? We have agreed to drown in your shit.

I'm in, you fag!

Me too.

And I...

all the way!

Let's enjoy some music, to make it a pleasant departure.

- What are you doing? - We're listening to music.

Do something Andreas. Can't you see he's suffering?

He's feeling bliss now!

Having a chat with God... He may learn something!

They might come from the roof, someone has to lock that door.

Did anyone ask her?

- No. - Then why is she talking?

Ignore her. She thinks locking a door will keep them out.

They left, but not for long.

You better go now.

Are you coming back?

Any other place I can go?

There's nowhere to hide.

- Here you go. - Are these the ones?

Have you got a license?

Do you have a license?

- For what? - For the gun.

- Do I need a license? - Of course.

Get in the corner.

Easy now, it's loaded.

Hurry Argyris!

- Marina watch him. - Move god damn it!

Get on the floor!

- Down I said! - Careful, it's loaded.

Come on Argyris!

Okay, I'm done.

Face the wall!

They've surrounded the house. Get out!

- Where's Argyris? - He's coming.

Sophia, staircase!

Andreas!

- Sophia? - What?

Are you hungry?

Need anything?

Send somebody to guard the door on the roof.

Argyris?

What?

Put on some music. Loud so I can hear it.

Andreas you heard her.

Forget it, they cut off the power.

One-two.

One-two.

Well boys, the house is surrounded.

Drop your weapons, and come out with your hands up!

Fuckers!

What's going on out there?

Go sit upstairs.

When will those cock suckers come in?

Don't worry, they're always on time.

They'll show up at night those slimy fuckers.

It's us I'm worried about.

- How did you get involved? - Wish I knew.

Stathis is dead anyway.

- How did he die sister? - What difference does it make?

I want to know how to remember him.

If you live long enough to remember.

You've got a point there.

It was four in the morning...

they broke down the door.

Everything okay?

Who's shooting?

Those bitches out there killed a doll.

Nobody touches that phone!

Don't Sophia!

Leave from the roof, I'll stay here.

It doesn't lead anywhere. Are you nuts?

How did you do that?

It's easy.

Marina?

Do me a favor.

- Where's Marina? - She went downstairs.

- Bring Sophia close to me. - Let's fly a kite...

Fine.

Take me to her.

Alright?

That fucking sun never ends.

Don't let the motherfuckers in.

We don't deserve to live like this man.

THE END
