"ATHENS 1893" " Well, I have to leave you now." " What's this?" "Weren't you fed up with books when you were at the university?" "Why aren't you coming with us to have some fun?" "If you need to study languages, the girls will teach you ltalian." "Buongiorno, buonasera, buonanotte..." "Let's not talk to Michael about girls, or he will blush." "You heard him!" "Come with us to prove him wrong." "Do not postpone for tomorrow what you can do today." " Not a word." "You are coming." " For a little while though." "Alright." "Let me ask you something." "Could you lend me some money so that I can come with you?" " How much?" " lt depends on the bill." "Thank you." "Lelos!" "Peter!" "Peter!" "Oh!" "Welcome, my friend." " When did you arrive?" " A few days ago." " You've forgotten your friends!" " We aren't good enough for him." "I was going to visit you." "Do you live at the same house?" " We can't move, can we?" " Mr. Panagiotis won't let us." "Charilaos and Andreas owe him ten months' rent." "Bravo!" "Bravo!" "Very good, right?" "How's school?" "Have you graduated at last?" "Are you kidding?" "And have our allowance stopped?" "We've taken an oath, my friend." "To learn as long as we live." "Never mind about us." "Tell us, how is life in Berlin?" "Really boring. I've missed Athens and our big parties." "Well, what's the reason that brought you back home?" "Business." " l am getting engaged." " You?" "lmpossible!" "You're in love?" "You know me better than that." "I couldn't love." "Germany might have changed you." "Who is she?" "I'll tell you, but not a word to anyone. lt wouldn't be right." "She is in the service of Princess Sophia." " What is her name?" " Mary Weber." "I do not know her." "Neither do l. l know her uncle who lives in Berlin." "He has written to her father and I've come for the engagement." "My mother wishes that the bride will be from the upper class." "She believes that our wealth will get some glamour out of it." " Many wishes then." " May you marry soon." "Thank you, my friends." "Well, that reminds me..." "Do you know that you have an admirer in the Palace?" "Yes, you." "Who?" "Miss Brown, the Chief Stewardess of the Princess." "Sometimes she brings packages to sick men in the hospital." "Sometimes..." "Charilaos!" "Andreas!" "Ciao, bello!" "Buonasera!" "Ciao!" "Let me introduce you to our friends." "This is Mr. Michael Mimikos and this is Mr. Peter Spandopoulos." "Waiter!" "Bring me a beer!" "Not beer!" "Champagne!" "It's on me!" "Teresa, come here!" "Buonasera!" "Sit down." "Quiet!" "Signor Panagiotis!" "This is outrageous, you guys!" "The neighbours are all upset!" "Every night the same!" "We are young!" "What can we do?" "It's Halloween!" "If we don't have fun now, when shall we have the chance?" "Carissimo signior Panagiotis!" "Why should I be kept awake every night because of you?" "Had you paid the rent, I'd make no complaints." "But I haven't been paid a cent since Otto's days of reign." "Don't worry, Mr. Panagiotis." "As soon as they get money... they'll pay you the rent." "Do you think so?" "They got money last month... but they spent every cent with these ladies." "Signor Panagiotis, you are so good!" "Don't be such a flatterer." "I want my money and some peace." "Such nice hair..." "Sleep well, sweety." "Buonanotte!" "I don't know about that!" "If you do it again, I'll call the police." "The police!" "Buonanotte!" " Damn !" "He ruined it for us." " Does your mood change easily?" " Rosa, play the piano." " We shouldn't make any noise." "Just because the neighbours want to sleep so early?" "Play." "Why are you looking at me?" "I am thinking that you are getting engaged tomorrow." "I'd rather not think about it." "It isn't such a pleasant thought." " Have you called Mary for me?" " Yes, sir." "She is coming right away." " Have you asked to see me?" " Yes, child." "Sit down." "I need to talk to you." "As you probably know, what every daughter should do... when she is at the right age is to make a family." "Every father's duty is to create the circumstances... for the development of a happy family." "My brother in Berlin, who cares about your happiness... has found the man who is most suitable to be your husband." "Do not interrupt me." "He is the only son of a wealthy Greek family... who live in Berlin and he should be here promptly." "I'll have a talk with him first and then you will meet him." "I am sorry, father, but when it comes to the marriage issue... we have completely different views." "When it comes to marriage... my views are the only ones that actually matter." "Don't you say anything, mom?" "You mother's always agreed with me." "That's why we are happy." "How can I get married to a man for whom I have no feelings?" "Whom I do not love..." "You are going to have time to love him after the marriage." "Mary!" "Don't forget you are my daughter and in the Weber family... the girls have always obeyed their fathers' wishes." "is Mr. Weber at home?" "Announce Mr. Peter Spandopoulos, please." "Mary..." "Mary, you are not right." "Your father and I only wish for your happiness." "Mary, look at me." "Don't be such a baby." "I can understand why you are so upset. I've been young once." "This is how it is, though." "You are going to be grateful." "My main concern is my daughter's happiness... and not just a wealthy husband." "You may rest assured that my only concern... will be for me to make your daughter happy." "I am very glad to hear this, although I have to admit... that the information I've got by Miss Brown and my brother... guarantee for my daughter's happiness." "This is my wife." "Madam, it is an honour to make your acquaintance." "Welcome to our house." "And this is my daughter Mary." "Mr. Peter Spandopoulos." " l am glad to meet you, Miss." " Likewise, sir." "As of today, you are considered to be engaged." "May God bless you." " Good evening, Mr. Panagiotis." " Good evening, Mr. Mimikos." "Do you hear?" "The concert has started." "I should call it Conservatory, so that nobody can complaint." "They are still young." "Let them." "This is too much though." "Parties, songs, dancers... but no money for the rent." "When are they going to change their tune?" "Well, one cannot get any peace and quiet with you two in here." "It is not you, miss, but these silly old fellows." "Why is that, sir?" "What is our crime?" "We sing." "Singing brings joy, singing brings good health." " When are you going to stop?" " As soon as possible." "What an old geezer... ln about 25 years... lt is a fact now that I won't get any peace in here." "Probably." "Someone is coming." "It's Peter." " Peter, welcome." " Hello, my friends." "Hi, Rosa." "Michael, I've come for you." "You are invited to a party." "At my fiancee's house." "Thanks a lot, but I don't think I am in a mood for that." "Don't be stupid." "Miss Brown will also be there." "Don't "so" me." "Miss Brown will be there." "She is the Chief Stewardess of the Princess." " Leave me alone..." " You cannot say no." "My fiancee will be there too." "Don't you want to meet her?" "I'll pick you up at 8 tonight." "Congratulations, my dear." "I don't know much about music... but you seem to have played wonderfully." "Michael, let me introduce you to my fiancee." "Mr. Michael Mimikos." "Glad to meet you, Miss." "Likewise, sir." "Have you at last decided to make an appearance?" "And what a struggle to persuade him!" "Let's talk." "How are my patients?" "They are expressing their gratitude for your care." "I am sorry that my care cannot be more frequent." "If it was, we'd have the chance to talk more often." "You never abandon your hermitage though." " Well?" "Shall we dance?" " With pleasure." " You haven't talked of your friend." " Michael?" "It never came up." " What did you say his name was?" " Michael Mimikos." "Do you know that you are not the least entertaining?" "One could assume that you are in love." "Would you like to be?" "It is not something that one wants or not." "You mean that it just occurs?" "Well, what did you think?" "About Mary." "Cute girl." "You are lucky." "You may be surprised at what I'll say. I don't like her." "My friend, as strange as it may sound, she doesn't interest me." "She is not the type of girl I like." "She is somewhat aloof." "Not to mention that marriage does not seem to suit me." "I am not right for a husband." "Why do you let things take a course you don't care for?" "It is my mother's wish." "I am very fond of her and I wouldn't like to displease her." "Well, I would and I'd marry whoever I loved." "I wouldn't marry at all and that would be the best." "We've got to your place." "Goodnight." "Thank you for the nice evening." "Pleased to meet you, Miss." " What did you say his name was?" " Michael Mimikos." "Pleased to meet you." "Have you at last decided to make an appearance?" " Mary, aren't you in bed yet?" " Yes, mother!" " Buongiorno, Signor Panagiotis." " lt's you again !" "As long as you are coming and going in here, me "no mangiare"." " Why you not eat?" " You are sick?" "Sure I'm sick. ln my wallet." "It suffers from adenopathy." " Me not understand." " All the better." "Better." "Now better." "Good..." "Charilaos!" "Good morning, Andreas." "Where is Charilaos?" "He's brushing his coat." "Charilaos, tell Michael to get ready." "Will you come to the Garden with us?" "The girls are here." "No." "You go in God's name." "Don't you want some fresh air?" "It's Sunday. lt's a fine day." " Well?" "is he coming?" " He doesn't want to." "Tell him whom we met last time." " Miss Brown." " Like I care..." "You are something else." "The whole Palace will be there." "Leave him alone." "We can't beg him to come." "Let's go, Andreas." "Charilaos, Andreas..." " What's going on?" " Wait. I am coming with you." " You?" " Me, Miss Weber." " Thank you very much." " Not at all..." "By the way, how come you are alone here?" "What about Peter?" "Peter is busy." "We rarely even see him." "So, I take walks by myself." "Do you like the Garden?" "It is wonderful this time of year." "I prefer the Acropolis." "The view from there is magnificent." "There is a harmony in that landscape that makes one think... it's worth living in Greece just for that." "Don't you agree?" "You won't believe this, but I have never been to Acropolis." "Now that you've mentioned it, I think I'll go there tomorrow." "Tomorrow..." " Well?" "Was I right?" " Yes, Miss Weber." "The view is really magnificent from up here." "Hello." "Hello." "Did you see me coming?" "How did you know it was me if you hadn't seen me?" "I don't know. I was so fascinated by this view... that whoever might be talking to me, I'd hear your voice... because it was you that I owed this joy to." "Our yesterday's meeting gave me such joy." " Won't you sit down?" " Thank you." "I really love this place... and the thought that I shall have to leave..." " Does this make you sorry?" " Very." "You should be happy to be engaged to Peter." "My parents say the same." "I should. I am not though." "I don't mean to pry but why aren't you?" "One cannot abandon something so dear without grief." "You are right." "With your permission, I'll be going now." "We shouldn't be seen together." "People are so mean, you know." "Goodbye." " How may I help you, sir?" " l'd like to see Mr. Mimikos." "He is coming." "He's just finished the inspection." "Sit down." " Hello, Peter." "What is it?" " Have you finished?" "Take off your blouse and come." "It's May 1st and you ask where?" "We shouldn't let the ladies wait for us." "Miss Brown and Mary are waiting in the carriage." "Miss Brown has invited us to spend the day at her villa." "What can I say?" "That woman is just crazy about you." "Come on!" "Don't stand there." "Peter, it's better for me not to come. I shouldn't come." "How can I explain it to you?" "You don't have to explain." "Or you can tell me on the way." " You are so bored here." " Not at all." "You can't fool me." "But it is my fault." "I've left you all alone." "Come, let me show you the garden." " You have a nice house." " l am very glad to hear this." "It means that we can hope to be seeing you more often." "I know what you will say." "The hospital, the service..." " Why do you speak like that?" " l do not understand." "Good. lt'd be terrible if you did and still talked like this." "Here are our love birds." "Miss Brown, I think we should be going now." "Don't forget that I am leaving tomorrow." "That's right, you are going to Berlin." "Will you stay long?" "I suppose so. I have a lot of things to do there." "What about Mary?" "She'll wait. I'll be back with my mother for the wedding." "Good evening." " Has he left?" " Yes." " He'll be back for the wedding?" " That's what he said." "And you?" "Are you going to marry him?" "What can I do?" "It is my father's wish." "But is it your wish?" "Why do you enjoy tormenting me?" "Perhaps I like tormenting myself also." "Thinking about you and making it hard for myself." "I've tried to suppress my feelings." "It's wrong but it's happened." "What can I do now?" "Tell me." " What can I do?" " Everything and nothing." "I know that I shouldn't tell you all this... but since I feel this way my sin is a fact." "Don't talk about a sin." "I love you too." "Michael!" "Michael!" "Where were you?" "I got scared." "What's wrong?" "Nothing. I've been thinking." "Have you been thinking about us?" "Why don't you speak?" "I've been wondering whether what we are doing is honest." "Honest toward your fiance and my friend." "I've thought about this too." "So?" "I think that nothing is more honest than our feelings." "Peter doesn't love me." "He has let me realize... that he is going on with this marriage to please his mother." " ls this honest now?" " No, it isn't." "Yet the path we've taken leads us nowhere at all." "I'll tell father to break off the engagement." "Will you really?" "Darling..." "Kiss me." "Come in." "is that you, my dear?" "Her Highness the Princess asked me to tell you... that she doesn't want to be disturbed this afternoon." " Thank you, Mary." " May I go now?" "What's wrong with you?" "I've noticed a strange change." "What is it?" "Why are you so melancholic?" "Now that you are engaged you have every reason to be happy." " Nothing is wrong with me." " You can't fool me, Mary." "You know how much I love you." "Why don't you speak to me?" "Tell me and I'll do everything I can to help you." "Thank you, but I am fine." "May I go now?" " lf you wish..." " Thank you very much." "Monster..." " Mary..." " Yes, my love?" "You said you'd speak with your father." "If he says no, are you determined to face everything?" "I love you." " What about all the problems?" " l don't care." "If your father says no, we shall elope." "We'll get married and go to live on the Sira island." "We'll have a nice house and live happily ever after." "Till we die..." "What is it, Mary?" "Do you want anything?" "Yes, father. I'd like to talk to you about a serious matter." "is it a bad time?" "Not at all, since it is so serious." "Take a seat." "We haven't talked for some time now. I am listening." "Look, daddy..." "It is about my engagement." "Your engagement?" "Peter is a very nice man, but I have come to realize... that he is not enthusiastic about this wedding at all." "Nonsense!" "Then why did he ask to marry you?" " His mother wanted him to." " All the better." "Since the parents, who are so experienced, agree to this... it means that you are absolutely well-matched." "I see." "We'll never agree on this matter, father." "Mary, sit down!" "No, thank you, father." "Mary!" "Mary, what I heard just a moment ago... I'll forget if you assure me that they were silly thoughts... which a daughter would not dare admit even to her own self." "I can not imagine that my only daughter... would break off an engagement with such stupid explanations." "When a Weber gives his word, he never takes it back." "Try to remember this." "I shall not permit any insubordination in my house." "Go now." "Your letter got me worried." "What is it?" "I talked to my father." "He won't even hear it." "He got so angry!" " l knew it." " What are we going to do?" "I don't know." "We have to think about it." "I think there is a person who could influence him." "Miss Brown." "I don't think she is the right person." "She is my best friend and she loves me." "If I talk to her, she'll help." " l don't trust that woman." " You are wrong." "I don't know, but something tells me she could hurt us." "Have patience." "I'll think of something." " Won't I see you tonight?" " l can't." "That's why I wrote." " Till tomorrow then." " Tomorrow." "I have to go now. I am scared." " What do you think, Charilaos?" " What can I say?" "I'm confused." "Michael and the Weber girl?" "Did Miss Brown get out of the way?" " What kind of nonsense is this?" " Well, wasn't she in the way?" "Never?" "But it seemed to me..." "Leave Brown out of this." "You will do as I told you." "Write to Peter and ask him to come and solve the matter." "This is not possible." "It is out of the question." "How shall I face Peter?" "What can I say to him?" "Remind him his own words." "He said he didn't like her... that he didn't want to marry her, that he didn't love her." "Didn't he say all that?" "I don't think he will be angry... since you, his friend, are speaking to him like a man." " lt is not so simple." " lt is the only right thing." "Don't waste any time." "Write." " What should I write to him?" " Ask him to come to Athens." "When they get to the hospital they cannot unload the packages." "Tell them to wait for me." "Are you leaving, Miss Brown?" "Yes, I am going to the army hospital." "Do you want something?" "It's where that assistant surgeon works." "What's his name?" "Mimikos..." "Would you like me to tell him something?" " l don't understand, Miss." " Look how pale you've got." "Pity." "I thought I was your friend." "Don't you trust me?" "Come now, dear, don't be like this." "Talk to me, take it off your chest." "Let's sit down here." "Well?" "Are you in love?" "Why are you so bashful?" "Have you done anything wrong?" "I don't know." "I feel at a loss." "I can't tell between right and wrong anymore." "Tell me and I will help you distinguish those two." "You are so kind, Miss Brown." " Well?" " Do you remember the party?" "Sir, a lady from the Palace wants to see you." "Let her in." "Mr. Mimikos, I am sure you didn't expect me." "Good morning." "Do sit down." "I won't stay long, because I have the packages to deliver." "Miss Brown, I admire you." "You are such a busy woman... and yet you always get the time to give comfort to the poor." "Unfortunately I am very busy, as you said... otherwise I'd be closer to those who suffer." "I think you have secured a satisfactory place in Heaven." "In Heaven?" "God, no..." "It will be so boring." "None of the people I know is going to be there... unless you promise you are going to escort me." "I am sorry to say that I can't give you my word." "Wouldn't you like to be with me, or do you not like Heaven?" "I like it, but I am going straight to Hell." "I am up to here into sin." "You don't say..." "I'll start to appreciate you even more." "Well, I have visited you." "It's your turn to visit me now." "One cannot get into your office that easily." "Don't try to get away from me again." "Come now, Doctor..." "Let's say tonight." "It is impossible tonight." "I am on duty." "Tomorrow then?" "Razis is on duty tonight!" "You got off lightly again !" "Goodbye, Doctor." "And don't forget, you are going to pay for this." "Quite dearly, I might add." "Idiot!" " Have you rung, Miss Brown?" " Yes, John, come here." "You need to offer your services to a fellow- country woman." " l hope you can do it." " l hope so too, Miss Brown." "I need a person that I can trust... who will follow Miss Weber everywhere she goes." " Can you find such a person?" " l think I can." "Good." "Make sure you find that man and put him at work right away." "Needless to say I have nothing to do with this." "I see." " What's on your mind, Mary?" " The letter you sent." "I don't think I can wait any longer for the answer." "Take it easy." "You'll see how nice everything will be." "I am afraid our happiness is going to end really badly." "You must be ready to fight for our love." "The Doctor talked of a letter he'd sent to a certain Peter." "is that right!" "Well no." "Things will not be so simple for you, dearies." " When is there post to Germany?" " At noon tomorrow." "Wait a moment." "This letter must be posted at once." "What's wrong now?" "We have come to have some fun." "Yes, Michael, don't worry." "We have talked about it." "If there is no letter in two days, you'll write him again." "I've been waiting for a month." "He should have written by now." " So, something is wrong." " Nonsense!" "Nothing is wrong." "Don't you know Peter?" "He never writes letters." "This is not like other times." "I asked him to come to Athens." "He will." "Don't think about it." "To us... I thought that the girls are unhappy... when they don't find someone who loves them." "Yet, things are harder when there are two men." "I think that the greatest drama for a woman... is when nobody notices her." "Everything else..." "Come in." " He is here." " Has anyone seen him?" "No." "Where can he meet you?" "Not now, but tonight." "Don't let him show himself until then." "Welcome, my friend." "Will you at last tell me what is the mystery of all this?" "There is no mystery. I am only protecting your honour." " My honour?" " Calm down, my dear." "Sit. I'll explain to you." " Goodnight." " Goodnight." "Till tomorrow." "Mr. Assistant Surgeon?" " Peter!" "You are here!" " Rather unexpectedly, right?" "I was looking forward to this." "Did you get my letter?" "To be honest, I didn't expect such nerve." "You are a bastard." " You need to understand..." " l don't have to understand." "You will see my witnesses tonight." " A duel then?" " Are you scared?" "You know I am not." "But I thought you were my friend." "I don't think we have anything else to discuss." "Peter!" "You are here!" "Good evening, Mary." " Peter, I must talk to you." " You don't have to. I know." " All the better." " ls this all you have to say?" "Forgive me, Peter. I didn't mean for this to happen." " lt is not my fault." " l know. lt is his fault." "That's why he is going to give me satisfaction." " What do you mean?" "You don't..." " Exactly." "Tomorrow morning." "This is impossible!" "I love him !" "You never even loved me!" "Think about this!" "If he gets killed, I won't be able to live." "Why do you want to destroy two people?" "Peter..." "Peter, wait!" "We do not think it's necessary to ask for your discretion... regarding the duel and the reasons for it." "All this should remain our secret." "You have my word of honour." "It is also my wish." "Have a good night." "If I get killed, give this letter to Mary." "To her personally." "What if we go and talk to Peter?" "We are friends after all." "For the sake of a woman too..." "This is not right." "Don't go anywhere." "Peter won't listen to anyone." "After all, I am the one to blame." "Goodnight." "We have an early rise tomorrow." "About turn..." "Ready?" "One, two, three... four, five, six... seven, eight..." "You never loved me." "Why do you want to destroy two people?" "If he gets killed, I won't be able to live." "Miss Brown, can you leave me alone with Miss Mary?" "Miss Weber, your wish has been carried out." " There was no duel." " Oh, Peter, thank you." "Do not thank me." "This was right." "I was not the one for you." "Just for a moment, I was so blind that I wanted revenge." "Now, I realize what a great thing love is." "I have to thank you both." "I hope you live happily." "You are so generous." " Where are you going, Mary?" " To him." "Can you please explain to me what happened?" "You lost, Miss Brown." "That's all." "I lost?" "What do you mean?" "Actually, we both lost, only I do not care so much... while you have taken it to heart." "Are you so concerned about my honour?" "I disregard your insinuations." "If you had shame, you'd leave." "Please control your jealousy, or at least leave me alone." "This is my last warning." "You are so brave, that you are content to threatening a woman." "You let someone else take your woman... and your honour from your own hands." "Don't expect me to congratulate you." "You are a pathetic coward." "I hope I shall never meet such a disgusting creature." "I am pleased that you have not poisoned me with your hatred." "He is whistling..." "Why are you looking at me like this?" "Am I not handsome today, don't I look like a Medieval knight... who is ready to joust for the sake of his lady's heart?" " He's got a fever." " Of course I've got a fever!" "I am boiling, burning, I am on fire!" "So, I am going into the old Weber's house to burn him... if he doesn't give me Mary's hand." "You should have told us right from the start!" "You are hurting me, Catherine." "It doesn't matter. I haven't seen you laughing for so long." "Are you still here, Mary?" "Aren't you going out?" " Not today." " What's this strange look?" " Was my look strange?" " A little..." "The bell!" "Catherine, run !" "I don't understand you." " Mom, stay here with me." " Let me see who it is first." "You don't have to." "It's for father." "How do you know?" "Didn't you notice how persistent the ringing was?" "I did." "When it is for you, they ring the bell more discreetly." " What is it?" " An officer wants to see you." " What's his name?" " Mimikos." "Mimikos..." "Show him into the sitting room." " Hello, Mr. Weber." " Hello." "Come in." "Take a seat." "To what do I owe the honour of your visit?" "I have come to talk to you about a very important matter." "I am listening." "I have known your daughter for some time and I love her so... that I have taken the courage to come and ask for her hand." "My dear, since you have known my daughter for so long... you should know that she is engaged to be married." "As it happens, your daughter is responding to my feelings..." "Enough, sir!" " Do you realize what you said?" " Mary and I love each other." "How dare you?" "Do you forget that my daughter has a fiance?" "Peter will not be a problem should you give your consent." "Your nerve is outrageous!" "Enough !" "Get out!" "If you cared for Mary's happi- ness, you wouldn't say that." "Out!" "Goodbye." "Mary!" "Mary!" "Enjoy your daughter!" "Sir, I have the honour..." " What do you want?" "Speak up!" " l don't want anything." " Then what are you doing here?" " The Commander sent me." "What does he want?" "Aren't you going to tell me?" "Just a moment. I am at a loss." "I've always been like that." "As soon as someone shouted at me, my brain stopped." " Will this take long?" " Take it easy, I'll remember." "The Commander orders you to come to the hospital now... to take care of the medical supplies." " There is typhus at Nafplio." " A typhus epidemic..." "That's right!" "An epidemic, he said." "Okay, I am coming." "My dearest, after my father's denial... there is no other solution for us than to elope." "I'll be waiting for you at the usual place at noon tomorrow." "I hope I can persuade Miss Brown to let me go." "Eternally yours..." "Mary." " Did you find it?" " What time must we leave?" "As soon as the carriage is loaded." "What is it?" "I really have to go." "I must notify someone." " l'll be right back." " Don't be late." "I won't be able to find an ex cuse for the Commander!" "You have to help me." "I have nobody else to turn to." "I know, I want to help you." "Your father's letter holds me responsible." "You read it." "I have to answer for every time you go out." " What if he finds out?" " Nobody is going to see me." "Come, Miss Brown, do me this favour." "Just for today." "If you were such a good friend, you wouldn't think about it." "All right, Mary, you may go." "But you should know that this is never going to happen again." "I'll never forget this!" "Mr. Panagiotis!" "Give this to the guys and tell them to do what I am writing." "Okay, Mr. Mimikos." "Go in God's name." "Come in." "Two men insist that they talk to you." " They are friends of a friend." " Let them in." "Come in, please." " Have you asked to see me?" " Are you Miss Brown?" "We are really sorry, but..." " We need to talk to you." " l am listening." "My friend and I are friends of a friend of ours. I mean..." " We are friends of Mimikos." " So?" "He left us a note writing to us to find you..." "That is, to tell you to say to Miss Mary..." "That he was ordered to leave for Nafplio." "To leave for Nafplio?" " You mean, he is not here?" " lf he was, would he send us?" " Will he be long?" "Did he say?" " No, he didn't." "We heard they'll stay for a while." "There's a typhus epidemic." " Thank you." " We thank you." "Goodbye, madam." "Good morning." "John, have the carriage prepared for me." "I am going to Miss Weber's house." " ls Miss Weber here?" " Yes, she is." "Come in, please." "Do sit down." " Who is it?" " Miss Brown is downstairs." "One moment!" "I am coming." "Well?" "Did you see him?" "He never showed up." "Really?" "Did you leave early?" "I was there till a while ago." "God, what could be wrong?" "Don't be sad." "Young officers are just like that." " Capricious, frivolous..." " What do you mean?" "You misunderstood me, my dear." "I didn't mean anything." "Not even that he could be with another woman." " Although you can't rule it out." " Please, do not go on." "You are right, Mary." "You don't know life so well." "I do not mean to say that..." "Of course, he is different than the others." "Why are you upset?" "Perhaps he did not receive your letter." "Sure, that's it." "Write to him again." "I am going to write again." ""To Assistant Surgeon Michael Mimikos."" "My love, I waited two hours for you." "Why did you not come?" "My love, I cannot explain your silence." "My life is becoming a torment without you." "I do not want to believe that you may have forgotten me." "My dearest..." "Catherine, tell Miss Mary to come down at once." "Honestly, I can't understand you." "We both decided to write to my brother." "I think you agreed that for the scandal to be forgotten..." "Mary should be out of the scene for some time." "She is not going to exile, nor is she going to strangers." "She is going to my brother's, to a family environment... I cannot understand why you are crying." "You are right, but I am a mother... and she has never been away from me till today." "I am also upset, but think about our reputation... which was endangered thanks to her frivolity." "Quiet now, she is coming." "Come closer, Mary." "Mary, my child, in spite of your conduct towards us... your mother and I still love you very much... and we shall help you retrieve your big mistake." "We wrote to my brother in Berlin and just got his reply." "He agrees to have you stay at his house and even wonders... why we hadn't made this decision much earlier." "Prepare your luggage." "You are leaving the day after tomorrow." "Mary!" "Mary, my child!" "Catherine, water!" "Run, Catherine!" "Get some water!" "You haven't eaten anything." "Can I take the tray?" "Catherine!" "When you leave the tray, come back here." "Yes, Miss." "Love, despite your silence, I do not think you've forgotten me." "My father is sending me to Germany tomorrow." "I won't go, because I swore I'd stay with you till I die." "If you wish to keep the same oath you have given me... come to Acropolis, where l will be expecting you till 1 0 o'clock." "If you don't show, it will be easy for me to end my life... which is quite meaningless without you." "I am ready, Miss." "This time, take it yourself to the army hospital." "Give it to him personally." " Here we are again." " What's new, Stefanakos?" "Nothing, Doctor." "We missed you." "What's all this?" "Michael!" "Your mail." "You see, we are not the only ones who missed you." "I almost forgot." "There was another letter for you today." "It's in my room." "I'm going to get it for you." "Pity..." "We have nobody to miss us so much." "Your letter, sir." "The letter..." "Thank you." "Love, my father is sending me to Germany tomorrow... but I won't go, because I swore to stay with you till I die." "If you want to keep the same oath you gave to me... come to Acropolis, where l'll be expecting you till 1 0 o'clock." "If you don't show, it'll be easier for me to end my life... which is quite meaningless without you." " Kostas..." " What is it?" "What time is it?" "Eleven o'clock." "Mary..." "Mary!" "Michael, what's wrong?" "This way!" "A girl fell from the cliff!" "She fell from the Acropolis!" "This way!" "Why, Mary?" "Courage..." "Please, leave us alone." "You came?" "Yes, my love." "I am here, on your side." "On my side..." "Don't cry, my love." "I am happy now that you are here." "Aren't you happy?" "Remember we dreamed about getting married?" "Yes, love." "You will be all right and we'll get married." "We'll have a nice house and we'll be together till we die." "I even brought our rings." "Thank you, my love." "I knew you would keep your word." "Together till we die..." "Death..." "Mary!" "Do not be afraid, my love." "I am happy." "You will never leave me again." "Will you?" "Never." "We'll always be together." "Always together." " Together." " Always..." "Mary..." "Mary!" "subtitles ODEON S.A."
