Greek Salad (2023) s01e08 Episode Script
Episode 8
"O thou pure sunlight,
"and thou air, earth's canopy,
"how often have ye heard
the strains of my lament?"
What the fuck is wrong with you?
-Found anything?
-Not yet.
Good morning.
First of all, thank you for coming.
Do you know her?
The Parthenon is a temple
dedicated to Athena,
who was considered Athens' big boss lady.
Now, Parthenon literally means "room"
Gorgeous!
-Look at the Acropolis!
-Shit!
-We'll go tomorrow morning.
-Awesome!
It's a very quiet building.
I'll open the window.
Good thing we came in May.
July must be a nightmare!
Definitely.
When you open it, it's not quiet at all.
Sintail's a huge Chinese multinational.
It's great that they're developing
a green economy.
So you're back in startup mode?
I thought
you didn't trust multinationals anymore?
It's not the same thing.
I'd be working for their foundation.
The job would be
seeking out
greener distribution alternatives.
-If you believe in that, great.
-Of course I do.
You have no idea.
It's great to see a huge corporation
that respects the environment.
The future of humanity's at stake!
Cheers.
Shit!
Hey, how are you?
-Good, you?
-Good.
-Hungry? I made you breakfast.
-Okay, thanks.
Look, two more girls outed him.
Really? Let me see.
Fuck
Do I really have to work in this dump?
Thanks for your help, bro.
Don't get angry.
He's just saying what he thinks.
Are you here to help or talk?
It's just my opinion.
Shadi
Can you help me?
The palm trees are high
High
My Dad, they are high
His cheek is shining
I don't know, the moon is high
High
I don't want him
I don't want him
Gave me a plight
Gave me a plight
Shall I take this?
Yeah. Be careful, it's fragile.
"Waste not, want not."
Nothing against Bassem,
but I won't live with him.
Do you have a better idea?
Why didn't you tell me before?
I did tell you!
Come back, Shadi!
It's a huge mansion.
Take a look at the ceramic on the ceiling.
It's really great. Thank you, Paco.
I've always wanted to be in real estate.
-You see?
-What do you think?
Welcome.
I hope you'll feel at home.
Thank you.
Shadi, that's for you.
Thank you.
Tom!
Mia!
I'm up here!
Hello!
-So, Athens?
-Be right down!
At a great school
for stone and marble carving.
I'll take these.
Sure.
Then we'll go to Lesbos
with Juliette and Jade.
You'll love it. The house is great!
Wanna come?
I'm not sure what I'm doing. We'll see.
Anyway, I haven't told you,
but I got that job in Hong Kong.
Congratulations, Tom!
You must be so happy. That's great!
Yeah It's great.
And Hong Kong's amazing.
It was amazing.
Given what's going on in China,
it's not the same now.
And it's far.
Yeah, I know.
Today, that's nothing.
Just a few hours away!
The red-eyes are so practical!
-Really?
-Yeah!
It's an incredible opportunity!
With that on your résumé,
you can go anywhere!
-Sure!
-Yeah!
-No, you're right.
-Great!
Yeah.
We were in the vet's waiting room.
I was there to have my cat put down.
And she had a suitcase
with her dead dog in it.
So I helped her carry it. She was crying.
She was irresistible.
Come on!
Another bottle?
-Yeah, in the bottom cabinet…
-I know, I know. Thanks.
I did live here, remember?
They lived together?
When Mia first got to Athens,
she stayed with Tobias.
-For a while, no?
-No, not really.
Yeah, quite a while!
Oh, I thought you guys were together.
I mean, really!
-That'd be…
-Be what?
No, I'm just saying
That'd be sort of…
Sort of what?
Who'd like to taste the wine?
It's a Santorini.
Is there something going on?
No, Tobias put me up for two weeks,
and one night we slept together.
Are you kidding?
No.
It's okay, Dad.
I know it's weird at first, but
I can explain
We, uh
Wait.
Why are you speaking Spanish now?
Am I?
Pick a language and finish your sentence.
-Dad, calm down…
-Go on!
It's not a big deal.
When we met, I was 27 and you were 43.
That didn't bother us.
It has nothing to do with age.
She's right. Sex has to be free.
If they both want sex,
and really wanna get laid
Okay, I got it!
Mia
I…
I saw your video.
Really?
If you need anything,
you know I'm here, right?
Yes.
Thanks.
What video?
I heard "video."
I just watched it.
I don't know what to say.
There's nothing to say.
You okay?
I am now.
It was hard, at first.
But I had a lot of support.
Why didn't you call me?
Some things are hard to tell your parents.
Fuck
I feel so guilty.
Why?
I'm sorry…
I don't know. I feel like…
I didn't protect you enough.
I should have supported you more.
Prepared you for danger.
I don't know from us guys.
What would you have said?
"Watch out for boys.
Don't wear miniskirts"?
I don't know. Maybe. Among other things.
That's no use. That's not the problem.
You can't be responsible
for everything, Dad…
We have to learn some things alone.
That's life.
But I'm better now. Don't worry.
-What?
-You've got class.
-And Tobias?
-What about Tobias?
-Well…
-It's different with Tobias.
We just wanted to and…
As you know,
"Desire isn't politically correct."
-Who'd say such a thing?
-You!
-Reread your own books!
-Really?
Is there a problem?
No.
No, thanks.
So, if I got it right,
Grandad gave us a building
worth a million euros.
Yeah?
And we leave the lawyer's office
with 100 euros.
Yeah!
You did 6 years of college,
got an MBA… Right?
Right.
Great job!
Thanks!
Angeliki was so upset.
They didn't get the theater they wanted.
Really?
"O sacred light and air,
"sharing space with the Earth, as equals,
"how often have you heard
the strains of my lament.
"I pound against my bleeding breast
"when dark night fades!
"My bed alone
knows my wretched sleepless nights.
"I weep in my miserable house,
bewailing my ill-fated father
"whom Ares did not welcome as
a fallen hero at war in a barbaric land.
"But whom my mother,
and the man in her bed, Aegisthus
"split his head with a murderous axe,
as woodmen fell an oak.
"For that, no tears
burst from any lips but mine,
"O father,
victim of that cruel and repugnant crime.
"But I shall never cease,
"as long as I can see the radiance
of the stars and the light of day,
"to mourn and lament.
"O home of Hades and Persephone!
O Hermes of the Underworld,
"and you, Erinyes,
"who behold when those die unjustly
"and perceive
these monstrous crimes, come!
"Help me, avenge the murder of my father,
"and send me my brother,
"for I have no more strength
"to bear the load
of grief that oppresses me."
Let's go!
Congratulations, guys.
Goodbye, goodbye
If only I could find a way
Into your heart for a little while
Goodbye, goodbye
If only I could find a way
Into your heart for a little while
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
If only I could find a way
Into your heart for a little while
Goodbye, goodbye
I don't feel like sitting
In a seated position.
-Ciao!
-Love you.
Kisses.
Everything I've known here
is gonna disappear.
They're turning the building into a hotel.
My brother's leaving
to the ends of the earth.
And half of my friends are leaving, too.
Kristos has resurfaced…
and you're not here anymore.
So, what's keeping you here?
What are you doing here?
Sorry, we're leaving.
Come here.
See you!
-We love you.
-I love you, too!
Filippo!
Let's go.
Let's go.
Ciao!
-Bye!
-Bye.
So…
Let's get this over with. I hate goodbyes.
They make me cry. I despise that.
And I wanted to say, "thank you."
If you hadn't been here,
I don't know what I'd have done.
Thanks.
I love you.
I love you, bro.
I love you, sis.
Get outta here!
Get lost!
In everything,
it's the end that is essential.
Aristotle?
Yes.
Aristotle.
What can I get you?
Tom!
Would you like something?
Yes.
A coffee, please. With a little sugar.
Thanks.
-Hello.
-What's up, son?
-Ready for the big move?
-Yes.
It feels weird.
Want a ride to the airport?
No. Reem, get the dot!
On the dot over there!
No. What's wrong?
Here.
What's wrong?
You know
We don't always have a choice in life.
Especially, us women.
That's not what you told me.
What did I say?
That you were happy to be in Europe,
because women can do what they want here.
I wasn't just gonna let you take off.
Where's Mia?
She wanted to leave alone.
Really?
Everything'll be fine.
Yeah, I know.
Any decision's a good decision, son.
Leaving's hard.
But think about what's to come.
Your first real job, Hong Kong…
A new life, a new adventure.
It'll be great!
No, sure. It'll be terrific.
Shall we?
Yeah, let's go.
-Dad, stop the car!
-What?
-Forget something?
-Yeah.
-Hi, how are you?
-Is it a bad time?
No, I have a minute.
I sent you a cut
of the L'Auberge Espagnole ending.
We'd love your opinion.
Okay.
I'm him…
Him and him. And I am him too.
I wanna write books!
And him
I don't wanna disappoint.
I'm him… and him.
And him.
I'm her, too.
And her.
I thought I was different.
I wasn't like these people.
But now I know.
I'm Greek,
Afghan,
Ukrainian,
Croatian,
Italian.
I'm Czech,
Syrian.
I'm all that.
It all started here,
when my plane took off.
It all started here.
It all started here.
It's all starting here.
