Greek Salad (2023) s01e02 Episode Script
Episode 2
-Mia, stop!
-Don't even talk to me.
It's true! The problem is they
Mr. Valsamidis!
Valsamidis!
Mr. Rousseau, what's going on?
Did you bring these squatters?
No way! I didn't ask them to come.
And you're renting
this apartment illegally!
Illegally? I don't think so.
I rent it to pay the fees.
Your grandfather was a great man,
but he never took care of this building.
I've always been in charge of it.
Don't you keep the rent money
for yourself?
For myself? Of course not.
I'm not a crook.
All I do is for your family, for you.
But your sister doesn't seem to know
that she owns half of this building.
It all happened so fast.
I didn't have time to tell her.
As I said, you can't sell it without her.
In fact, I have good news.
Titanas is now available to sign
on Saturday.
Really? Great! Yes, that's great news!
As for the police, don't call them.
I'll deal with my sister.
-Thank you.
-Goodbye.
Mia.
Mia.
-We really need to talk.
-I'm busy.
You can't stay here.
Everybody's gonna have to leave soon.
Let them call the cops. We're used to it.
Kristos has lived in squats for 10 years.
-It's not that. Listen to me.
-Why are you harassing me?
Is it because of that Italian chick?
-No.
-Then what is it?
You're not staying.
What do you care where I live?
-We're not bothering anyone.
-Yes, you are.
Especially you and me.
Fuck, listen to me! Don't you get it?
This is our building!
We're the owners.
You're kidding, right?
Where do I put the bedding?
Leave it in the back.
Hello?
What?
So you have to sign with me on Saturday.
I'm not dealing with Grandad's shit.
-It's not shit, it's our inheritance.
-Maybe I won't accept it.
You can't refuse Grandad's inheritance.
It was his last wish.
-Something he wanted to pass on.
-Great.
Great?
I don't understand.
Why do you want to sell?
Mia, don't go!
Hey, Lily?
Hello?
I know. I didn't have time to call back.
Don't you understand, Mom?
You'd have kicked them out immediately.
Yes, but
I'm having problems with Mia,
but it'll work out.
I want to show you something.
Can you see it?
That's the view from the building.
Maybe a little.
The Acropolis is… Just there, can you see?
Under my finger.
It's easy to say,
"Love thy neighbor as thyself."
Really?
It's so unexpected. I mean… Josh?
Well… that's great!
Well done. You've done a great job.
Sorry I couldn't be there…
I'll call when I know about the sale.
Now they even break in!
Mia!
-We're not done talking.
-I'm busy.
You're always busy.
Mia, please, stop. Stop for a minute.
William's coming tomorrow.
-We have to figure this out.
-What?
-Why the fuck is he coming?
-To help with the contract.
-On Saturday, we sign and I leave.
-I don't wanna sell.
You can't just say that.
This is our inheritance.
I need your signature.
You're deciding for me, too.
Okay, maybe.
That is so selfish! Do you realize that?
I need the money.
I'm building something important.
-But the NGO's not important?
-You can't compare this with B.e.e. Trade.
-What did I say?
-It sounds like, "stiff dick" in French.
Very funny. It's B.e.e. Trade!
"Stiff dick."
Yeah, laugh.
You dropped out of school,
you live in a squat with gutter punks.
So, go on! Laugh!
You've become such a dick.
Get back to New York
and your shitty startup.
My… Okay. Fine. Bye.
Do you hear it? Nuts.
Did you like the…
-Wait a minute.
-No, I don't wait.
You speak French!
-You'll see. It's powerful!
-I don't see it.
You don't. It's the melody.
Who cares about the melody?
There's no melody.
Melody's an old-fashioned,
bourgeois concept!
-My work is radical.
-You don't get it.
I can't work if you play your non-music.
I don't blame you.
My creation is ahead of your time.
I get it.
That's what avant-garde is all about.
You're too ahead of your time
and people aren't ready.
That's exactly it.
I'm really not ready for this.
Wait, I haven't recorded it!
Go away!
Great! We're really communicating!
I can fucking hear you!
You got here and everything went to shit!
I'm sorry. I'll fix everything, I promise.
How can I trust you?
Wait.
I have a presentation to make.
I'm not on vacation here!
-I get it.
-No, you don't.
I can't fail.
My parents sacrificed a lot for me.
And I'm scared.
I have to speak in front of people.
I hate that.
Really? You're great
in front of your roommates.
-You must think I'm really uptight.
-Not at all.
-Maybe, but everybody else does.
-My sister thinks I'm uptight, too.
That's how it is.
People like us
are just focused on our ambitions.
Exactly.
I wanna be a judge and fight the mafia.
I really believe in justice.
That's great.
I don't know if you'll agree,
but I could help you
work on your presentation.
Thanks, but I think I should do it alone.
Of course.
Okay, I'll let you work alone.
Just imagine your roommates
in your teachers' place.
It'll help you relax.
You're gonna nail it.
You know, Tom,
it would be nice if you stayed with us.
Without your sister, I mean.
Come on! Let's go!
I can't believe it.
Hey, I'm setting up the connection
to have power.
You're such a jerk!
I'm in a meeting!
Why'd you tell Kristos everything?
-What?
-Tom?
What the hell?
Are you crazy?
Did you come here to fuck up my life?
I did nothing!
It's not my fault you lie to everyone.
-What?
-I've been covering
-for you since I got here.
-Right!
-You should be grateful.
-Yeah.
Mia, want to say hello?
What is that?
Paco?
Yeah!
I can't see anything.
-What did you do?
-It sucks.
It's an old set up.
It's all patched up, see?
Fuck!
She's a little pissed.
-Yeah.
-I can hear that.
She's always pissed.
Thank you, Angeliki.
-Hello.
-Hello.
Mia, where the hell are you?
Call me back!
What do you mean?
Thank you. So sorry.
It's okay.
Don't worry.
I'll take him back to his hotel.
Thanks.
I really love that guy!
Ditto.
We're so different,
but there's such a strong bond.
Family!
Yeah.
-Let's go.
-Yeah.
Why do you think Grandad came here?
I mean, why would he buy
this building in Athens?
I don't know.
But it's made a big mess.
Don't you think it's unfair? Getting this,
when we already have so much.
-No.
-That doesn't bother you at all?
No, it's an opportunity.
We can't blame ourselves
because our family is privileged.
Okay, maybe it's unfair,
but the world is unfair.
We can't change that.
That's our problem. We're too different.
You're in your startup world,
and we're trying to change things.
By squatting in buildings?
Yeah, for example!
Great.
We'll never agree,
but I don't wanna fight over
this building.
So fine, I'll come and sign the thing.
We'll sell it and…
I'll use the money the way I want.
Exactly!
Just because we're family
doesn't mean we have to agree.
Thank you.
This will create an electronic signature,
if you can't come back in three months.
-We have to come back?
-This is just the sale agreement.
-Before the final sale.
-We have to do all this again?
That's the law.
There's a legal period of reflection.
Can't we just sign it all now?
-Is there a problem?
-No.
Yes. I'd like to finalize the sale now.
It's not possible.
No, you can't.
But you could grant power of attorney
to your brother, if you'd like.
There, perfect.
Yes, let's do that.
That's it.
-It's done.
-Yes.
-Shall we get lunch to celebrate?
-No.
Will you go to the demonstration?
-Yes. I'll come to say goodbye.
-Okay.
Let's wait a few weeks
before we announce the sale.
-No need to freak them out now.
-Sure.
I'll take care of it.
I'd rather you did.
We still have a lot of shitty stuff
to do together.
Great.
-Have you seen Mia?
-No.
Every year, every month, every day,
all together,
we do the work
that the state refuses to do.
A country that's dying
and turns its back on hospitality,
which is the pride of its people!
We demand asylum
for all refugees,
no matter where they're from!
Not a "Fortress Europe."
Is it okay to close borders?
Keep calm, guys!
Don't answer, it's provocation!
Form a chain!
Go home!
Pippo, it's not the time.
We lost you, we couldn't reach you.
I'm fine.
Let me see.
It looks bad. Come on.
It was a blur, people were running.
I got hit by tear gas.
Did that ever happen to you?
-Thanks.
-That should help.
I didn't expect it to be so violent.
I wasn't prepared.
Sorry, I'm just talking about me.
How did your presentation go?
It went very well.
-Really?
-My professor congratulated me.
I think it made my semester.
Really?
I knew it.
I'm happy for you. That's great.
Thank you.
You really helped me.
I thought about what you said
before I started.
And it worked. So, thanks.
-What did you do?
-What?
We can speak French.
Really? Okay.
Where are you from?
I was born in Burundi. My dad is French.
Okay. And why are you here?
-For college, first.
-Yeah?
But I dropped out.
Just like me.
Fuck you, whore.
Little owner!
So you were just messing with me.
I came to see the building
I had inherited, and I met you.
You asked me if I wanted to see it, so…
Yes, I lied to you.
I'm really sorry.
-Especially you…
-Me, what?
-Because…
-What?
I didn't get it,
but I'm sure you're right.
-I'm sorry.
-Yes.
You should be.
Are you okay?
I have to go.
See you at Dad's for Christmas?
I don't know yet.
Okay.
Bye.
-Stop!
-I thought you weren't gonna say goodbye.
-Why?
-The NGO's on fire.
-What?
-Fuck…
