Press it, the guy is a fucking, and the lady is a solo.

Yeah, it's nice.

One destination from every which way.

Love is never too late.

Eyes of a stranger.

It's time for your adventure.

Tons of...

You can see the still active core and the deep -filled crater named Caldera.

Please fasten your seatbelts and prepare for landing in Santorini.

Oh, you've been here before. Oh, dear.

Nice -looking girl, dear. Try this. Oh,

excuse me. Hi.

Hi, Jane. Peter, how are you?

Where's Roger?

He got married.

Oh, that's a shame.

You are not married, are you? Married? No.

Wait, Jane.

This is your gift for the summer.

I am the white man.

What?

We prefer this town.

The tourists barely come here.

We'll have to walk first on the way.

It's not very far.

That's the villa.

It's terrific.

This villa is at the far edge of the earth and has the longest sun.

Plus, a wonderful view of the volcano's core.

The moment left.

You, me, and the volcano.

Oh, wow.

All right. It looks a bit bare, but so you have it fixed to suit you.

Fixed out in a week? It's my graduation present.

Dragless. It's only $100 a week. I figure we can stay here eight weeks. We

eat. The market's open until 9, and there you'll find everything you need to

up housekeeping.

For you.

I've got to go now.

If you need me, you call me. But I'm sure you won't need me.

Enjoy your stay. Goodbye.

Thanks a lot, Asper.

Kathy, come here.

Look.

I can't tell you how this place turns me on Me too

Michael? Michael?

Good morning.

It's a great morning.

Don't you feel something?

Yeah, jet lag.

The birthplace of Apollo.

This is the sanctuary of Dionysus.

Here's a fertility symbol. Subtle, isn't it?

Michael. All right. Come on up here.

What are you thinking about?

Time.

It's about 2 .30.

Oh, I meant centuries.

I was thinking about the guy who made this.

His work is still here.

After 2 ,000 years.

What was he thinking when he chipped? Right there. Probably what was for

A movie does two in a hundred years.

Giza. You speak English? A little, not so much.

Hi, Joe and Trish Saunders from Cleveland, Ohio.

Would you take our picture for us?

We're on our honeymoon.

First time in Europe. How about you?

Yes.

You two married?

Now, don't blink.

I never blink. You always blink.

I think I blink.

This guy from Germany told us about this great gorge in Crete, the height.

We love the height, too.

I do, but he doesn't. Well, listen, why don't you both join us? Because there's

a ferry that leaves from the base of Tehran tomorrow at 7 .30. I think it's 8

.30. No, no, no.

I've got schedules.

Right there.

Anyway, we'd love to have you join us.

I told you never to leave our site. And if I ever catch you again with those

foreign.

You're grounded.

You feel a little

overdressed. We'll take you to our panel.

Not today.

Come on.

Look at those caves.

Let's go exploring. I think I'll stay here. You sure?

Okay.

We've been going together almost five years.

Yeah, we've known each other for ten.

What do you want to do now?

Your love, your love is always rising. Your

love, your love is never changing.

Listen, I got a surprise for you.

It's a dark room.

Like it? Are we giving up showers?

Michael, you're always telling me to develop interests of my own.

Oh, I know.

Keep developing.

I'll pick up some groceries.

Thank you.

Which one should I send my mother?

I don't know. They're both great.

When can I take a shower again?

In the morning?

Do I have a choice?

No.

Coming to bed?

In a minute.

Okay.

You've been here a week and you're skinny. You never did that at home.

I used to dream I was a mermaid.

What else did you dream about?

A few things.

Tell me one.

When I was in high school, I used to fantasize about being tied up and

by the entire swim team.

The entire swim team?

Maybe not, Harvey. Go on.

Everyone always thinks of me as such a goody two -shoes.

I have desires just like anyone.

Have you ever wanted to explore them?

No, you satisfy me.

Couldn't you just have a physical thing with someone?

I could, but why?

For variety.

We can have variety.

Wow.

You tied me too tight. I can't move.

That's the point.

Oh, okay.

Okay, Kathy, I've had enough.

Come on, Michael, you like it.

Ah, I think you actually enjoy hurting me.

It's not hurting.

It says right here, stimulate.

Oh, I hope they have a chapter on first aid in that book.

If I wanted to hurt you, believe me, you'd know it.

Perhaps I would put the candle closer.

Look at that. It would be very hot. No.

Don't you trust me?

No.

Yes, yes, yes, of course I trust you. I trust you.

You don't seem sure.

Are you afraid that I might tickle you? No, no, not that.

Because I might.

Don't hunch your shoulders. You have beautiful tits. Put them back.

That's better.

I'm going to mail these in spirit.

Oh, take this one.

Your mother, what did you say?

Then candle?

Very funny.

Stop reading those books.

I'm afraid I want to come home to you.

Where are you going?

The beach.

I'll drive you.

I prefer the bus.

What is it you like about this?

I like people.

I've seen you several times now.

You've been rather obvious.

I'm sorry.

Does it bother you?

What's your name?

Lena. I'm Michael. Michael Pappas.

Where are you from?

Do you want to know my sign?

Not particularly.

Good.

What about the sign?

What's that?

What?

What's that?

It's, uh, it's nothing. It comes right off.

It's, uh, nothing.

Come on, Lena.

What do you do?

So the most important thing to know about me is I hate questions.

I just want to be alone for a while.

You were alone all day, Michael.

What's the matter?

Nothing. Nothing.

It's too complicated.

What's too complicated?

Let's talk about it later.

Michael, I'm doing the best I can.

Look, I've even got my shoulders back.

Tell me, maybe I can help.

Look, I'm just confused about a few things, and I just need some time alone

sort it all out.

We're here together, Michael. You asked me to come. I know, I know.

It's not you.

It's me. It's this island.

Everything in my life till now has been planned for me.

School, college.

Dad was alive, working every summer to learn the business.

It's the first time in my life I can do what I want to do. You can do what you

want.

I was with another girl this afternoon.

Kathy.

If I'm going through something here, I don't understand.

It's not because I don't love you, because I do love you.

Maybe it was a mistake to come here.

Maybe it was a mistake to come here.

You're the mistake, Michael.

You do what you have to do.

Get it out of your system.

I'm going out.

You stink, you know that?

I'm staying with my friends. I'm staying with my friends.

I'm staying with my friends.

I'm staying with my friends.

American? Once again.

Can I sit down for a minute?

My name's Bob.

What's your name?

Have you been on any of the islands?

A couple.

Which one is your favorite?

Santorini.

Santorini.

Do you have any other phrases you'd like me to translate?

None that come to mind.

Listen, I'd love to treat you to a silver locket. How about breakfast

morning? No, I don't think so.

Yeah, sure, no problem.

Yachtus.

Hi. I'm Yorgos.

I can tell you haven't yet seen me, really.

I guess not.

Come on.

All right.

Yeah.

Making love to you is like riding a horse.

No, no, no. I only meant the way you respond.

You're very affectionate.

And you must be very loved by her.

Mm -hmm.

The girl you live with.

I can see both of you from here, too, you know.

Oh.

I know you're here.

What's her name?

Kathy.

She's very lovely.

Yes.

She is.

Not often one finds people who truly care about each other.

Sit down.

Do you want cocaine?

Quail eggs?

No thanks.

How about some wine?

Yeah, that'd be nice.

You must have seen a lot of movies.

No, we haven't got a theater here.

My father has a television in his shop.

Sorry.

Americans.

Where do you go every day?

That's a personal question.

A personal question?

We made love three times today.

Made love?

I'd say we screwed.

When can we get together again?

What about Kathy?

We have an open relationship.

You're up.

Morning. Morning. It's only, uh... It is morning.

God damn you!

You told me to get out of my system. Well, I thought I could handle it.

I wish I could, but I can't.

Kathy,

my attraction to Lena doesn't change my feeling. Lena?

Yes.

So, how many times did you come?

What are you talking like that for?

Oh, I know. Goody, goody, Kathy doesn't say things like that, right?

Fuck you, Michael.

It wasn't the fireworks you imagined.

Too bad.

I'm not lying.

Tell me, Michael.

Is Lena the first?

I've never cheated on you before.

Never? Never.

Maybe you just want me to take off and go home.

If that's what you want, I'm going to be with Lena.

Kathy.

I want to be with you.

What did you do last night?

I went to the Kiklos Cafe.

I met a Greek boy.

You know me?

Well, I know who you are.

I was fixing some tea. Would you like some?

Okay.

Make yourself comfortable. I'll be right back.

You have a lot of books on archaeology. I'm an archaeologist.

Have a seat.

Lemon? No, thanks.

Sugar?

I didn't want tea.

Sure.

I'm sorry, this was a mistake. No, no, no, no. Stay.

I don't know why I came.

I think I do.

And first, I want you to know something. I'm not trying to steal Michael away

from you.

I'm not looking for a relationship.

And he's with you.

Anyway, I don't want to deal anymore with ego problems and jealousies.

You've never been jealous?

Jealousy doesn't show how much you love someone. It shows how insecure you are.

Margaret Mead.

I think I have that book here somewhere.

Anyway, I came to IA to get away from everything.

And I won't be seeing Michael again.

I'm not asking that.

I came here to simplify my life.

Why?

It's a long story.

I mean, it's a long story.

I'd like to hear it.

I think I need to hang up.

You're hungry.

That's good.

She's very interesting.

Who?

Lena. Lena? You met her? Where?

I went to her house.

What did you do that for? What happened?

Nothing. What did she say?

We talked about a lot of things.

Excuse me, can I have some more ice cream?

Kathy, like what?

Do you know anything about her past?

No.

She hasn't told you anything?

She doesn't like to talk about herself.

Let's see.

She's from Deauville, and then she moved to Paris where she got her degree, and

then she lived with an older married man in Rome for a while.

Except in Loney Star.

Except in what?

It is easier knowing who you're with.

Oh, thanks.

You amaze me.

I amaze myself sometimes.

Anyway, we're going to the theater tomorrow.

We?

She's invited us to a criteria where she works.

Lena works.

You don't know much about her, do you?

So, uh, when are we supposed to see her?

I told you, tomorrow.

There

she

is.

Hi. Hi.

Follow me.

This treat is from the Minoan level

of the excavation.

It's the deepest we've dug so far.

Is this your first excavation job? She worked outside of Rome last year.

Oh. Look at this.

Every time I come upon something this beautiful, I wonder to myself, who

this? What would he like?

I'd like to show you some more around.

Maybe we could have lunch at the beach.

Let's. My favorite one is Parisa.

Which one is that?

You know, the one we went to that has the tiny pebbles?

This was a hand mill, part of the Delta houses.

There were very beautiful wall paintings, but now everything is in

museum.

Unfortunately.

Kathy. I like them. Thanks.

I wish I could take photos.

I find incredible objects laid out exactly the way they were placed

years ago.

Well, maybe Kathy could shoot some for you.

This afternoon, when you two went in opposite directions,

I wanted to follow both of you.

People are like gas.

I beg your pardon?

I mean, gas fills whatever space it's in.

And people do, too. They expand to fit the space.

I think I'll expand into the kitchen.

And fix dinner.

When there's none of that faith, there is pressure.

People are like gas.

She thought it'd be better if she didn't stay.

I'm receptive of her. You invited her here.

I like her.

But when I see you with her...

What now?

Johnny's always won!

That's Alina yesterday.

Told her I might take some pictures for her.

In Akutiri? Uh -huh. That would be great.

I told you I like that.

It's an anchor, but we don't know how big the boat was.

Now, I'd like to take a picture of these steps here.

Each step was made out of a single stone.

All the Greek gods, I mean, they were disguising in all kinds of things, and

Dionysus would often disguise into a woman to deceive his enemies.

So, well, he was the first transvestite of the world.

To Mykonos on a yacht.

Some friends I haven't seen for years are making a movie there.

And I thought it would be fun, or at least colorful.

No, no.

Andrea.

Andrea, darling. Look who's here.

Lena.

You're back.

What about the head for me?

Welcome to the Colossus.

At last, some fresh faces. This party can get some stimulation.

I want to meet some friends. This is Kathy and Michael.

How do you do?

Cosmo, stop it.

Since I gave up tarot cards...

Nappy, come and feel the Colossus.

Feel her power.

So there you are. I was just about to get a drink.

Oh, Jonathan, I want you to bring the mic. He's an American too.

Good,

how are you?

She's better than me.

Oh,

I've seen you met my husband.

Can I talk to you a second? Sure.

I'm sorry. This is not exactly what I was expecting.

No one's going to believe my photos.

Oh, my God.

You're going to have a strange impression of me now.

I'm having a great time.

Oh, you know, when I was young, this was like a circus for me.

It hasn't changed much.

You told us it was going to be colorful.

You didn't say day glow.

Hey, it's a party.

Yeah.

That's a trick.

Jet set, playback, take one.

Here's the surprise I promised to you.

Thank you.

Good to be on the same land again. Watch out.

What

a

day. Mine?

No thanks.

It won't be dusk in a hundred years.

Can anyone see my camera strap?

My pants are falling down. I need a protection from Cosmo.

You want it?

Well, I go now. The party's not over.

Will you say goodnight for me?

Where's Lena?

She went home.

Why? I guess she was tired.

Are you tired?

What's this?

Oh, God.

One, two, three.

Leave him alone.

I'm quitting.

Put up your hand.

No!

Listen, hey.

Here. Listen. Let's leave him alone.

I'm not dancing.

Hey, put your hand on your rear.

Come.

Here's a dance that's most popular in society.

You'll never go amiss doing this.

Michael together.

It moved me.

It did?

I don't think I could see you and Michael in bed together.

Oh, you could.

I don't know.

First, I was jealous.

Well, what about now?

Amazing perception that I was inside the head of this huge giant.

And there were all these technicians working at this big panel inside his

And they were facing those enormous, huge picture windows which were his

Did you know that fire exists only if each of three elements are present?

Heat. Fuel.

Oxygen.

Lose one, goes out.

Boy scout.

Or else.

Faster.

Faster.

Faster. Then what happened?

I sat down. I decided to give him a rest.

Yeah, get some wine. That'd be great.

Hey, Dimitri, got a new lover?

Want to join?

No, thanks.

Come on.

No, I'm going back.

Hey, what's wrong?

Sorry.

Would you like to take a walk?

We're together.

Well, I can find someone for her.

How about him there, the guy in the blue sweater?

That would work.

Yeah? What happened?

Oh, nothing.

Let's go.

I think the girl on the left there quite planned with you.

It's the other one on the left there with the hat.

His hat?

It's been sort of a lonely night.

Are you alone?

No. Then who are you with? Him.

With him?

I mean them.

Them.

Is he going to die?

He's going to jump.

How do you know?

He always jumps.

Now we'll pace back and forth.

Stop.

More pacing.

Stop.

Up and down on his toes.

Cover his balls and jump.

You're dope. My God, you'd never catch me doing that.

I'm terrified of heights.

Have you ever seen him cry?

He cried when his father died.

I'd like to see that side of him.

Your shoulders are getting red.

Put some sunblock.

Have you always had short hair?

I cut mine after I broke the marrow.

I always cut my hair when I need a change.

Maybe I'll cut mine.

Do you need a change?

I still look like I did when I was 12.

I thought I wanted to look like a little girl forever.

It didn't work.

Where do your parents live?

I don't know.

When I was 15, my parents fired me.

Fired you?

Well, they told me to leave home. And then I met Monica and she let me stay

her.

My mother's just the opposite.

She never let me leave home.

She didn't want me to live with Michael.

She didn't even want me to come to Greece.

I guess it's not so bad to have someone who cares for you.

I guess.

Was Mauro a good lover?

I don't want to talk about Mauro.

You've had so many adventures.

I've often wondered what a life like that would be like. Like what?

Free, open.

Well, it's easier to see than to do.

But if you're somewhat secure with yourself, you can experiment anything

want.

I guess I'm afraid of being hurt.

But it's just like exercising.

It can hurt at first, but then it becomes a pleasure.

Then I worry about the consequences.

What consequences?

What would my parents think? What would Michael think? What would I think?

Stop thinking so much.

Yeah.

You're great. You know, if you live on the rim of a volcano that could blow up

at any time, you're taking a chance.

I think if you want to feel alive, you must take risks.

I'm beginning to see that.

Try again.

Are you okay?

I'm fine. Why?

I mean about... I've never been in the same bed with a woman before.

I know.

We shared you.

I know.

Are you okay?

I'm fine, Michael.

The night's the night we're gonna...

What do you think?

Too much sun.

Yeah, too much sun.

I can't live like this.

Don't get so tight.

Well, look at this place.

I just think that maybe we should divide up some of the chores around here.

Great. Why don't you make dinner?

All right.

I will.

I'm asking of the house.

Kathy, would you come here a minute, please?

What's happened to you?

Nothing. You always kept the place spotless. Why should I do everything? I

your idea of dividing up the chores.

But there's other things. Your photographic chemicals smell of the

been using my razor again.

I didn't know it was me.

And what about you always leaving the toilet seat up?

on purpose.

I think he deserves his present for this. He certainly does.

What's this?

It's an inspirational gift from an ancient religion. Yes.

To deal with the eternal battle of sexes.

It's a perfect likeness, but I can't... play the flute.

Let's go dancing.

Let's stay home tonight.

Oh, I want to go too. Yeah, let's go.

Okay, we'll go.

Good night, Michael.

It's an aerial view of Santorini. There's Ea and Vera, and that's the

sorry I missed it, but I thought it was a tip, too.

You two have sex on the brain.

Oh, why not?

Well, there's beauty everywhere.

Have you ever slept with a man?

I've been close to men before.

Don't pursue it. Life is complicated enough.

You sure scared us for a little spraying. No,

of course not.

How do you feel?

Fine. But it's my first and last time on a moped.

You know, when I was a little girl, I thought all Americans were carrying guns

and wearing cowboy hats.

Happy birthday, dear Lena. Happy birthday, dear Sprint. Our love will

grow stronger and it never will end.

You're another year older than I went over the hill.

So we threw you a party and we'll send you the...

party before.

I didn't even remember this was my birthday.

Come on, come on.

This is beautiful.

That's us.

Come on, we got another surprise for you.

Voila. Come on, come on, come on.

You stand back.

Oh, a volcano.

I'm just very happy.

I want to remember this all my life.

You talk as if it's all downhill from here.

But I don't want it to end.

It doesn't have to.

Once we're apart, it's going to be all different.

So we better have a good time!

You want to be serious?

How about a serious olive oil party?

Okay, can we be serious now?

Sure.

Sit down.

I see your arm's all better.

How can I mend my ways? Dreaming of maybe the night of being.

I don't need to dream forever.

Just dreaming.

Wishing all things would come true.

That's so funny.

Dreaming. Somebody better be ready for the couple.

Oh, and I'll get his rooms tonight.

How many douches did you have, miss?

I mean showers.

Aren't they ever going to finish grease? That must be it right there.

That's it?

Oh, hallelujah.

There we go. You okay?

I haven't been okay since we left the ship.

Would you stop laughing?

58. 58?

Thank you, Lord.

I'm okay.

I'm sorry we missed it.

Kathy?

Jean.

Kathy?

Michael.

Mrs. Featherstone.

And you know my friend, Barbara.

Sure, Mrs. Foster.

What are you doing here?

That's a good question, Michael. What are we doing here?

We thought we'd surprise you two.

Surprise? Who's there, Michael?

Lena. This is Kathy's mother, Mrs. Featherstone, and her friend, Mrs.

Enchanté. Charmed.

Charmed.

I'm sorry, this is... Oil.

Refreshing.

Kathy. Mrs. Foster.

What are you doing here?

Well, we were in the neighborhood, so we thought we'd just drop in.

Drop in?

I see you've all met.

Oh, yes, we certainly have.

We had a little birthday party.

What is going on?

Nothing. Well, who is that strange girl?

Lena, the one I wrote you about. She's not strange. Would you mind telling me

what she was doing with Michael down there?

When did you two decide to come?

We two didn't decide. It was... Don't change the subject.

Change the subject.

Well,

at least it's over.

Not quite.

What do you mean?

She's invited us to dinner.

Sounds like fun.

Jean, are they drawn at the hip?

Sweetheart.

Michael.

Chante.

Touché.

Hi, Kathy.

Hi, Aunt Barbara.

Well, we've all been having some wine here. What would you like to drink,

Michael? The local wine is terrific.

Wine. Kathy.

That's a lovely dress you have on. Where'd

you get it?

Here in Santorini.

Santorini? Yeah.

Kidding. Lena, it was so nice that you could join us for dinner. My pleasure.

Another surprise.

So, this is your first dinner in Santorini. I think that's cause for

celebration.

Here's to Santorini and all of us.

All five of us.

Yassa. Yassa.

Oh, how Greek.

You know, I took a night course once in Greek mythology, and I found out that

Bacchus is the god of wine.

Well, Bacchus was a Roman god, actually.

The one you're thinking of must be Dionysus.

That decadent guy.

Well, actually, in Greek mythology, freedom represents the highest form of

learning, not the drunken orgy.

So, you came up on the donkeys.

Oh, yes, it was quite an adventure with my friend here in her five -inch heels.

Tell me, Lena, are you here on vacation or do you live here all year round?

Well, I stay here until I finish my work.

Lena's an archaeologist.

She also has a beautiful villa.

Oh, where?

Well, I used to have it until I moved in with Michael and Kathy.

Kathy,

would you explain all of this to me? Stop worrying. Really, I've never been

happier in my life. Well, I must say you look very happy. So I have no reason to

be worried, right? Right. So you tell me, why am I so worried?

That's why.

I can make you see.

Listen, I'm going to say goodbye to you now because we have to leave so early in

the morning.

Oh, Kathy.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Do you want to watch television?

My father's show.

Good night.

I was fixing Moussaka tonight.

That's probably why she skipped dinner.

Any coffee left?

A little, but I think it's cold.

Where were you?

You should have let us know. We were worried about you.

Oh, I'm sorry. I was not aware I had that obligation.

I think I'll get some more.

You want to talk about last night?

Yeah.

I was out with someone.

Why?

If I feel attracted to a person, I want to feel free to go with that person.

You can understand that.

You know what an open relationship is like, don't you?

I love each other.

We're like a family.

Do you think you know me?

Yes.

What's my last name?

What'd she say?

Nothing.

Michael? I don't know. Something in French. I don't know what's going on

She'll be back.

Hi, Kathy.

Where's your French girlfriend?

Here in Malacca.

Oh, Greek.

I must get ready.

Where are your

American friends?

On the yacht I watched you with them and you were happy then.

Emmett, go.

Good luck. Thank you.

Do you want to

stay?

Do you want to go?

Excuse me, is Lina working today?

Oh, I haven't seen her since a couple of days.

You could do retail when I come by.

Then I will.

My friend Lina.

Read this.

Reading this.

Well, could you just read the first paragraph just for a minute?

It's worth it.

He's a great writer. Read it out loud.

Don't read it out loud. It's more private.
