My Life in Ruins (2009) - full transcript
Georgia is an American academic who's lost her teaching job in Athens. She's taken a job as a tour guide, but she hates it and it shows: the tourists, mostly American, are bored with history and facts; they want to shop. Every group has a goofy couple, a frat boy, a sullen teen, a feuding couple, divorcées looking for a mate, and a funny guy. This group is no exception, plus there's no air conditioning and a bearded silent driver. Thanks to an unlikely friendship, plus daisies, an ice-cream cone, the history of syrup, and the Oracle at Delphi, Georgia may have a shot at finding her kefi during this four-day tour.
They're laughing at your name.
So what? Laughing is good.
Your elevator is broken.
You fat tourists.

authentic Greek items made
by my grandmother.
But you dummies
want this cheap crap.
This junk is made in Korea.
By prisoners.
For you, I'll double the price.
And to your guide, a kickback.
Twenty Euros.
Orgy!
I get the tour guide!
