The Taverna (2019) - full transcript

Hi, Omer.

Hello Jamila.

You look beautiful.

Thanks, but God,
I don't feel it.

Ah, this is how
the world sees you.

You are a gazelle.

What you feel is
for yourself, no?

I have something for you.

What is it?

It's nothing.

It's for your little girl.



Oh, my God, that's so pretty.

Ruby's going to love this.

Thank you so much Omer.

It's nothing.

It's too much money, really.

No, no, really it's nothing.

Pink is her favorite color.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Thank you, Omer.

Namaste.

Namaste.

Lots of people tonight.

More coming.

Hello Jamila-moo.



Hi, Kostas.

How are you darling?

Well, I didn't
have a great day.

No?

No.

Don't worry about it.

Tomorrow will be
better, all right.

Just be strong darling.

A lot of people.

Yes, and I need you out there

in about a half an hour.

On table 12, six more
people are coming.

We're gonna make
money tonight darling.

I need it.

You need it, we all need.

You want more you poor Greek.

Omer Lagas, Omer Lagas,
he thinks I'm rich.

With the money I'm paying you,

I'm gonna close this room.

I'm gonna go bankrupt.

Here's your meat
platter, you Greek pig.

Thank you, you
Turkish bastard.

We love each other.

Hi, baby.

Hi.

How was the hearing?

Don't ask.

Oh, trust me, I know
the shit that you mean.

Where's the white
plate for table seven?

One minute!

Jesus,
I can hear you.

Well, you have your
milk now sweetheart

and do everything
Jenny says, okay?

Yeah.

Well, daddy is very
naughty, remember,

and we don't like him anymore.

That's right, Ruby.

You have your milk now, okay?

Yes.

He lives with that wicked witch

and maybe one day
she'll fly away

on her broomstick

and then daddy will
be able to come home.

Yes, he will.

Okay, sweetheart.

I love you.

Bye.

Ladies and gentlemen,
ladies and gentlemen.

Hello again, hello.

Tonight we have with us

a very special guest

all the way from Cairo,
beautiful Zabella.

Yes.

This lovely girl was
arrested in Cairo.

You know why, because
the thought her dancing

was very sexy.

She came here to Australia

to find her life.

First thing I tell her
is here in Australia,

you get arrested if not sexy.

Anyway, apparently-

- He's on drugs tonight.

Tell him to fucking stop.

Other plans.

But she was because she
had color skin, what?

Okay, anyway.

You will see with
your eyes, no worries.

And the next thing
is that the person,

the first person that gets up

and dances with
beautiful Zabella,

has got an Ouzo on Kostas.

Beautiful Zabella, ladies
and gentlemen, yes.

What do you think of her boy?

She's hot.

A young girl like
that shouldn't have

so many worries.

I would ask her out,

but my parents want
me to marry a girl

back in India with a dowry.

And she's divorced with a child.

So what?

I can't be serious about her.

My parents won't accept her.

Why not?

Well, because it's
against our religion.

You know what religion is boy?

What?

Fuck you, that's what.

Maybe for you, easy to say.

Yeah, yeah.

What till it fucks
you, then see.

Wow.

Aha.

I you're in the trap.

Oh, my God, Jamila is
slacking it up out there.

She is so good.

Hey, I've got 41.

Right, I need a ciggie.

Have you caught it yet Omer?

No.

Bastard doesn't like chicken.

They're like koalas bruh.

They only eat leaves.

Try some coslins.

He thinks he's smart.

What are you gonna do
with it if you catch it?

Put it in Kosta's car.

Serious?

Yeah, he will
drive home with it.

Oh, he's gonna
shit himself baby.

Don't say that crap about
me being arrested in Cairo.

I just said all these
things out there

for you to get more tips.

I don't want any
more shit out there.

You know they're trying
to make me look like

a bad mother.

Come on, come on, sit down.

I'll fix you something to eat.

Okay, sit, sit, sit, sit.

Don't worry about
anything Jamila.

Success.

Yes, girl, you were amazing.

Thanks.

Hey, I seriously wanna learn.

It's easy.

You should do lessons.

Yeah.

I know heaps of actresses

that would love to add
another string to their bio.

How was your audition?

Aw, thanks for remembering.

It was great.

They actually said
that I was great.

Great.

I know, right?

Like, I thought I
was pretty good,

but great was amazing to hear.

When do you find out?

Soon.

I hope.

How about you?

Hey, if you need a
character reference

or anything like that,

I am more than
happy to help, okay?

Thanks.

Hey.

I think everything's
gonna work out.

Thanks guys,
have a great night.

Hi, do you have a booking?

Yeah, Rebecca.

Yeah, sure just take a seat.

- Thank you.
- Thanks.

Did you get legal aid?

Yeah.

It was so depressing.

That bitch didn't
even remember my name.

I was just a case number.

What hope is there really?

Come on Jamila.

They don't take a
child from mother.

Yes, they do.

If you have money, the
law is on your side.

They made up horrible
things about me Omer.

I have read them.

Even started to
believe them myself.

Everything will be okay.

You can't say
that, you don't know.

You know what that
cunt said to me?

That I need to face the facts.

I could lose custody of Ruby.

What the fuck is
she talking about?

That's what she said to me.

Jamila!

I ran away from
persecution and war,

but not even in Turkey
they don't do such a thing.

It's all about the money here.

They can buy Ruby from me.

She's my little girl,

but they can take her
away for no good reason.

So, that's a Greek salad,

a meat platter for three,

a seafood platter for two

and you want the dips
to come out first?

Yes, why not.

Okay, cool.

Where are you from?

L.A. honey.

Kostas

is gonna us into some
serious trouble one day.

Rebecca.

Rebecca, welcome.

Kostas, muah, muah.

Come darling,
you look so nice.

Jesus.

You come for the
belly dancing, yes?

Well, yeah a little.

Yes, yes.

Arman.

Kostas.

Great place.

That's okay.

Friend of Rebecca's
is my friend.

Okay, Arman, all right.

So you eat.

There is fantastic lamb
tonight, very good.

Drink and I'll be back.

Rebecca darling, it's so nice

to see you after such
a long time, darling.

Hey, you know your dancing
tonight was excellent.

I think you should
be in Bolly movies.

I wish.

No, truly, you can be like
Recka, "Forever Beautiful."

Are your parents helping you?

With money?

Well, yeah.

No.

They're poor.

I wish they were in Australia.

They could look after Ruby

so I wouldn't have
to pay for a sitter.

Must be really hard for you.

Yeah, it is Samir.

What do they think
about your divorce?

I'm not divorced yet,
so they don't know.

But they're not like that.

My parents are.

Hey, guys.

Hey, table two is
howling, how long?

Five minutes!

Okay, you
don't have to yell at me.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, fuck.

Fucking hell, he's here.

Who?

It's him, Arman
with his whore.

Which one is he?

The one near the
window, the blonde bitch.

Oh, my God.

He never took me out
when Ruby was born.

Now look at him, looks
like a fucking gigolo.

I have to go.

Don't worry
about him Jamila.

No, I've got to go.

What are doing?

Omer, tell me how many
snappers have we got?

Six.

Six?

Okay, where did Jamila go?

She's going home.

What?

The husband is here.

The husband is here where?

Come.

Front of the
window, first table.

With Rebecca?

Yeah.

Where is Jamila?

In the storeroom.

Jamila love.

Jamila.

Jamila-moo.

I'll be out in
a minute, I'm changing.

Okay, darling, okay,
okay, thank you, sorry.

Hey, what's everyone doing?

Nothing.

Table two is
gonna string me up.

Jamila-moo.

Come on darling, what's wrong.

I have to go, I
cannot be seen here.

Why?

Because he'll see me.

Who will see you,
I don't understand.

I can't dance with Arman here.

Why, darling?

He knows that you
are a belly dancer.

No, no, he doesn't.

And if that bitch sees me,

she'll tell her
lawyer I'm a stripper

and I'll lose Ruby.

Rebecca.

You know her.

I know her.

She comes here for years.

You know her.

I have to go.

Come on darling,
darling, darling, darling.

What is this, this is our night.

Where are you going?

There is people
out there waiting.

The belly dancer.

What is this?

I cannot dance Kostas.

Jesus fucking Christ,
come on darling, come on.

No, no.

This is our night.

We did it so nicely.

Everybody's happy.

You are so beautiful.

You got the money,

we talk all about this thing.

I'll do it.

I can do it.

But I'll need some coaching.

Okay by me.

Bravo.

Bravo, bravo.

You will be great.

Don't take that off because

I need you on the floor, though.

Hey, I can't do both.

If I'm gonna dance, I
need time to rehearse.

Okay.

Well, I have to be paid

for my time, too, Kostas.

Yeah, ducks, okay,
then I'll keep the tips.

Hey, that's not fair.

The tips should be hers.

Yeah, I'm the one
on show out there.

Oh, you do get paid, though,

and you get the tips
from the tables, come on.

Give them to Jamila.

Yeah, she's the
one needs it most.

What do you mean?

We all agree we
give them to Jamila?

Yes.

We all agree yes,
one, two, three.

Yes.

Okay, to Jamilia then,
to Jam, this is good.

Okay.

Okay, darling, okay.

Where should we go?

There's room in there.

All right.

Okay, ladies, please,
please, please, please.

Boy, boy, boy, you'll be great.

Hey, Kostas?

What?

This Rebecca,
she has money, no?

She has money, yes.

Has got millions.

Her parents have got millions.

They all own half
of Toorak, why?

And she comes here to eat?

Why not Ray?

Get fuck Ray.

Ray got to get fucked.

This is the best place here.

Crazy hey, how they turned up?

Hard thing is actually
seeing them together.

Like a couple.

My Arman with her.

It just doesn't make sense.

Hey, uh, personal one,

but, have you had
other boyfriends?

No.

Just Arman.

He was my first.

Was it a wedding night job?

Yeah.

We had to, they came
to look at the sheets.

Really?

That's fucked up.

Shit, sorry.

No, no, it's okay.

I know this whole thing

must seem so stupid to you.

No, no, no, no.

Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.

That was really disrespectful.

Please forgive me.

It's okay.

I did it for him.

You know what?

I think you should
go crazy for a while.

Yeah.

You are way overdue.

Come on.

Have some fun Jamila.

Try anything and everything.

Fulfill some fantasies.

I don't think I have any.

You must.

Arman.

He wanted to have a
threesome with another girl.

I thought about that.

Yeah, been there, done that.

Mostly though, you end
up shagging the girl

because most guys,

they can't handle two women.

That's not so bad, is it?

Yeah.

Yeah, I always
thought that, too.

Where's the American chick?

Oh, she'll be back
with a surprise.

When is the belly
dancer coming?

Soon.

Where do you come from Arman?

Armenia.

Armenia, bravo.

We met in an Uber.

Yeah, he picked me up
after the Logie Awards.

Yeah, you drive this Uber?

Yeah, but I'm finishing
off my engineering degree.

Bravo, bravo.

We're getting married.

What?

We're getting married.

You're getting married?

Yeah.

Congratulations bravo.

What are you talking,
congratulations darling.

Bravo, bravo Arman.

This is beautiful.

Third time lucky Kostas.

Of course.

You know what darling.

You can get married as
many times as you like,

as long as I get
to meet them all.

Arman, right?

Yes, and they all
have to love Greek food.

Greek food, of course,

that's good about it is.

This one's the most
handsome, don't you think?

Arman?

Yes.

How's your father?

Well, he's retired.

But you know what he's like.

He's still taking on cases.

Okay, Jules, that
Jules, you know Jules?

Yeah.

Best lawyer in Australia.

You gotta be careful Arman.

Yeah, I know, I've
seen him in action.

You've seen him in action.

This is very good.

Of course.

Kostas.

The phone.

The phone?

It's Angelo.

Ah, Angelo, my son.

Okay.

Eh, have fun.

I'll be back soon.

We're gonna dance
and we're gonna have

a great night, all right.

Okay, okay, see you, okay, bye.

To the Goldmans.

To the Goldmans.

Yes.

We always get what
we want in the end.

Omer, Samir, leave these.

Go out and give a hand
to Katerina on the floor.

Okay.

You all right?

You know, you
try all your life

the best for your
children, the best.

Right.

So they don't have a problem.

Taverna here, two
houses, you know.

And then you son turns
out to be a drug addict.

At least you still have him.

Bernard is 63 today.

My children would be grown
up with our own families.

I don't know why
that cunt took them,

but you should love
every minute you have

with your son.

Drug addict or not drug addict.

Who gives fuck?

To Bernard.

Happy birthday Bernard.

What the fuck
are you two doing?

I'm getting raped out there.

What is it?

Up there.

Oh, it's horrible.

We've got the mother
fucker.

I can't come out
here and smoke anymore.

Oh.

I promise, I'll pay you
back when I get a job.

Actually I just I
ran out of credit

and the job
interviews I went for,

they got my mobile number, so.

Here.

Angelo.

Why don't you come and work here

for a while at Taverna?

You make some money
and then you learn

how to run it.

Listen, I'm an
architect, Papa.

Hmm?

I mean why the fuck
did I go to university

all those years?

Just to run the Taverna.

You pushed me to go.

Yeah, but what I'm
saying is for when

you don't have a job,

then the Taverna is going
to make up for your life.

I can get a job easy Papa.

The point is I'm just trying

to find a good
company to work for,

not like the last
bunch of malakas,

they had no clue
wat they were doing.

If you're worried
about the money,

just take it back.

No, I don't want it.

We'll just simply
talk, all right?

Where you go tonight?

Just some drinks
with some friends.

Okay.

Have you eaten?

You want me to
make you something

to eat, souvlaki or something?

No, I've already eaten.

I gotta go anyway.

All right.

Thanks.

Okay.

Yeah, I love you.

Kostas.

Where's the belly
dancer tonight?

The belly dancer.

Of course.

She will be here soon,
don't worry about it, okay.

And in case it's me,

you have me, okay.

I'll do it, yeah.

Okay, welcome.

Rebecca, everything all right.

Aw, Kostas, the food
was just beautiful.

Bravo.

Arman's looking forward

to the belly dancer, of course.

Ah, yeah, very much.

You are going to dance, no?

Yeah, if she's hot.

Don't be a dick.

He can be just a little
bit of a showoff.

I'll tell you
what, I'll tell you.

I used to do this job.

I used to work
with a cruise ship

and I was dancing,

all the widows around,

you know, they would sing,

they were this and that.

It was great fun.

What, like a gigolo?

Don't be scared.

What gigolo?

They were 100, 200
and 300 years old.

No, no, I used to take them out,

go to dinner with them, dance.

When they were getting tired,

I used to take them back,

put them to sleep and that's it.

Beautiful.

Okay.

Can I bring you something else?

Oh, God, no.

Actually maybe
just another wine.

Beautiful, I bring.

Enjoy.

Okay.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

You need to stop
giving him money.

Stop being a malaka.

He needs to grow up
and become responsible.

He's young.

I lived with
him for two years.

The only reason why
I kicked him out

was to get him off drugs.

And it's fucked.

I thought he might love
me enough to go clean.

But he doesn't love anyone.

Or anything.

Except ice.

Kostas, you and Helen
need to face facts.

You're enabling his addiction.

Excuse me.

Does anyone know

when the belly
dancing's starting?

No, sorry, I don't.

Uh.

She will be here soon, love.

My husband's getting tired.

Yes, sorry.

She will be here
soon, all right, okay.

Who is it?

It's me darling.

I'm not ready yet.

How long?

I don't know Kostas.

Okay, five minutes?

Ooh, ooh.

You look beautiful.

Really?

Boys.

Come here, come here.

Doesn't she look sexy.

You look hot.

You are number one.

Thanks guys.

That's it.

We go out there,

everybody's waiting for you.

No, I'm not ready yet.

But you are ready.

No, I mean the dancing.

The dancing, come
on now, the dancing,

you just zoon, zoon, zoon,
zoon, juggle a little bit,

that's it, nobody will know.

But I will Kostas.

Would you serve crap food
in your restaurant, hmm?

I don't think so.

I have devoted my life

to telling stories and
entertaining people.

I am an actress.

This is what I was born to do.

Like you in your kitchen, yeah?

Apparently.

You are just going to
go out there and dance.

You're not making the "Titanic."

I don't care.

I want everything
I do to be the best

it possibly can be.

But you're just
worried about getting

me out there so that
people buy more alcohol.

No.

My work means more to
me than money Kostas.

Excuse me.

Hi.

Hi.

Hello.

Do you have a booking?

No.

Do we need one?

Yes, we're very busy.

Well, well have
this table then.

Okay, but you'll
have to be quick

'cause the kitchen's
about to close.

Ah, have we missed
the belly dancer?

No.

Do you boys want tap
or sparkling water?

Tell you what, love.

Bring us a couple
of beers, eh, go on.

Sure.

I've never cheated on anyone.

So, like how does it
work Mr. Ladies Man?

What do you mean?

Well, for instance,

while you were fucking me
and going home to wifey,

how'd it work?

Why are you drinking so much?

Mm-mm, no, come on.

Answer me, I'm
interested in this.

Look at your scared
little eyes staring at me.

Can I tell her the truth.

I just wanna know
what to look for

when it happens to me.

It won't.

How do I know that?

Because I was never
really in love with her.

But you must have
been at some stage,

'cause you fucking
married her and had Ruby.

Yeah, well, I thought I was.

Well, you think
you're in love with me,

so what's the difference?

After the first
time I met you,

I couldn't stop
thinking about you.

Now that we're together,

I still can't stop
thinking bout you.

That never happened with Jamila.

After the first
time I fucked her,

I never thought about her again.

I'm just not in my body.

You'll be fine.

I can't go out there.

Trust me.

You'll be great.

I can't believe I
agreed to do this.

Don't be silly.

You don't understand what
it's like to die on stage.

Look, like you said to Kostas,

you're an actress.

So think of this
more like acting.

Belly dancing is an
expressive art form,

so just feel the music

and let the moves come.

Like improvisation?

Yeah.

I'm scared shitless of improv,

I never know what to say next.

If I can come up
with an objective,

then let the music
take over my body,

I think that can work.

There you go.

Okay, totally, so what
should be my objective?

How about

to make Arman's whore jealous.

Oh, my God.

That's it.

Okay.

Brilliant.

Okay, cool, thank you so much.

Okay, I'll let Kostas know.

Okay.

Hey, Frank, you won't
believe what I'm about-

Oh, I can bring you home a souv.

Didn't you have pizza
the other night?

Oh, no, no, I was
just reminding you.

Okay.

Yeah, I'll order
it now on my phone.

This is utterly
humiliating for me Omer.

Don't worry about it Jamila.

I don't have a friend
in the world right now.

I'm your friend.

Thank God.

Can I ask you something

and can you promise
to tell me the truth?

Okay.

Did you see his whore?

Yeah.

Do you think she's
hotter than me?

No.

No way.

Really?

Yeah.

Okay.

You know, I haven't
spoken to Arman

since he left the house.

Just through text messages

or through the lawyer.

If I could just
talk to him alone,

I'm convinced I could
make him stop all this

and just come home.

Is that what you want?

Yeah.

More than anything.

She is the type of woman

that gets everything she wants.

Yeah, and Arman is so stupid.

You know I,

I think about choking her.

I know I shouldn't, but,

I hate her so much.

They said I was a danger
to Ruby at the hearing,

but I would hurt Ruby.

I had depression
after she was born,

but it was Arman's mother
coming around all the time.

She made me feel worse.

I've got two assholes inside

that just won't
order their food.

And I've told them
the kitchen's closing.

They think they just
fucking own the place.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Excuse me, thank you.

Welcome again.

I am very happy to tell you

that she's finally here.

Yes, yes.

I know, I know, you've
been waiting for her,

but you'll see
she's deserves it.

She's all the way from
Los Angeles, California.

The beautiful, the
belly dancer Diana.

Here!

Yes!

Up, that's it.

This fucking malaka.

Can this muffin another beer?

I swear to God I'm
gonna choke him.

That's the waitress.

It is, man.

She's hot.

I love that American chick.

Fuck.

Sorry, lady.

You fucking scared me asshole.

- Me?
- Yeah.

Sorry.

What do you want?

Don't go back in there.

What?

Go home.

I think you should go home

is more appropriate.

You know what lady?

I think about that
every fucking day.

Oh, fuck off.

Oh!

Mm!

Mm!

You all right darling?

Oh, yeah.

Yes, okay, are you hurt?

No, I just bruised
my knee a little bit.

Okay, you are beautiful.

I'll bring you some
ice for it, all right.

Thank you.

- Okay darling.
- Thank you.

Sorry about
the drama tonight folks.

It's fine.

It was worth waiting for.

It was fantastic,
more than we expected.

There you go guys.

Here's your receipt,
thank you very much.

Okay.

Where were you?

I had some work.

There was a big fight.

What?

Yeah.

Where were you?

It was like Ling Cafe in here?

I was checking the possum.

Couldn't you hear the yelling?

I had bad hearing.

What happened to you?

The old guy with the
glasses tried to rape me.

What?

He didn't try and rape you,

he touched your ass.

The guy's a fucking creep.

There was penetration, okay.

I didn't ask for it,

I was just out there
trying to do my job.

Aw, come off it.

What?

You were practically
gyrating Jamila's ex

just before it.

No, no, that was
part of the act.

Katerina, his finger
went up there.

She gets excited, you know,

but she's a very good kid.

Sorry about the trouble boys.

Okay?

Whatever you have
taken it's on Kostas

and you come in again,
you see Zabella,

the belly dancer.

Hang about?

We haven't eaten anything.

You've ordered.

How the fuck can I order

when your belly
dancer kin hits me?

I'll be back.

Are you sure you're okay.

It was
bullshit, yeah, so what.

Is she American bro?

Who?

The belly dancer.

Actually I think she's Kiwi.

Have a good night.

Hey, belly
dancer's coming over.

Yeah, just let me
talk to her alone.

Oh boys.

Hey, watch out for the
belly dancer, yeah.

She's got a vicious right hook.

Hey.

My hero.

Thank you so much.

That's okay.

What you did for me,

I mean you probably
don't realize this,

but you honored me.

All right, it's
okay, no problem.

Thank you, thank you.

Kitchen is closed.

You won't want to read
by Trip Advisor review.

He has 478 followers.

Local.

My kids read about
these things, you know.

We came
here for souvlaki.

Okay, and the
kitchen is closed.

My friends.

Are you saying
something about us?

No, we're talking about food.

Well, what about some food.

The kitchen is closed.

I'll close the whole place.

All right, okay.

We'll do something
about it, okay.

I'll see what I can
do for you, all right?

What a night tonight.

You want me to throw them out?

No, no, no.

Any gyros left?

No.

Okay, catasouli?

No.

Calamari?

What do they want?

Souvlaki.

I'll find something.

Cats, dogs, it's doesn't
matter, it's malakas.

Goodnight, goodnight.

Go to him.

She'll see me.

She won't.

They have a restraining order.

You don't have to
worry about that.

Yes, I do Omer.

That lawyer told
me if I breached

that order again,
I'm going to jail

and that won't
look good in court.

She go in a taxi.

She was very angry.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Hey, Jamila.

Oh, my God.

Amazing.

Thank you so much.

Oh, I got you some tips.

You know, before I got attacked.

Oh, thanks.

I'm so glad you
punched that guy out.

Yeah, what a fucking pig.

Yeah.

Your dancing was so good,

it caused a brawl.

Yeah, well, did
you see her leave?

I did.

How good was that?

I know.

You know she
hasn't come back yet.

Yeah, he's sitting
out there all alone.

I know.

Ah, hey, I'm really sorry.

Your skirt got ripped.

Kostas.

Uh, where are the toilets?

Through there.

It's locked.

It's locked.

It's locked.

Let's see.

That's funny.

It is.

Somebody has locked
it from outside.

I go, okay, open, okay.

Omer of making souvlaki.

Fuck, that's diversion.

Here you go.

Excuse me?

Oh, it's like
bruschettas, only Greek.

See you got your tzatziki,
your eggplant, your caviar.

Some bread.

That looks all right.

You are gonna
feature as the glue

in my review of this place.

That's nice.

Okay.

Okay.

What happened?

Did you have a
fight with Rebecca?

My wife and I would
have a fight every day.

We love each other.

Look, I was just dancing
with the belly dancer

and then she went to the toilet.

You want to go to the toilet?

Yeah.

Okay, go.

Rebecca?

Rebecca?

Oh.

Nobody's here.

Are you sure she
went to the toilet?

Yeah, I think so.

What, is there another way out?

Yes, there is, of course,

the courtyard here,

where the staff goes to smoke

and then there is the lane,

you want me to show you?

No, that's all
right, I need to go.

Okay, don't worry about it.

My boy, don't worry
about it, okay.

These things happen.

She's a lovely
girl, but she wants

to be boss like her father.

If she wants to be
boss, let her be boss.

♪ Rebecca ♪

Rebecca.

Where are you?

Have you gone home?

Baby, I'm worried about you.

Look, I'm sorry if I upset you,

I didn't mean to.

I was just, um, I
was just having fun.

You said you like
to watch me dance,

I was dancing for you.

Can you please call me back
when you get this message.

Hey.

I'm so glad that you called.

You're never gonna believe
what happened Frank.

Oh, shit.

I completely forgot.

Fuck, babe, I'm so sorry.

I'll do it now, I'll
call you back, okay, bye.

Hey, uh, Lexie
Baker's is closed.

Yeah, they're closed, too.

I'm still at work.

Well, I can bring
you home a souv.

Or you could get off
your fat fucking ass

and do it yourself.

Oh, no.

What?

Is that what I think it is?

What it is?

Fuck, it's possum.

Oh, shit.

What are you gonna do with it?

Ah, he's making souvlaki
for the food critics.

Can you eat it?

They eat it on the
"Beverly Hillbillies."

What?

It's a TV show malaka.

Oh, look, I found
some recipes here.

You can't eat it Omer.

Why not?

Come on Samir, make me coffee.

Come on, move, move.

What is this?

For those mother fuckers.

What did you find?

Don't ask.

What is this?

Possum.

Possum?

Yes.

You got it.

Yes.

You can eat it apparently.

They say it tastes like chicken.

I haven't smoked for
the last seven years.

I want a cigarette.

You want one?

- Now!
- Okay.

All right.

In this shop,

for the last 25 years, we
only serve the best meat.

It's like rabbit Kostas.

Oregano.

Put garlic.

Salt.

Pepper.

and lemon.

Okay, fuck it.

Leave it with me.

Now.

That's it.

Hey, what's everyone doing?

Nothing.

Kostas gonna have a smoke.

Really?

If everything goes to
shit tonight darling.

Oh.

Oh, my God, take a look.

Yay, Jamila, go for it.

Oh, fuck, this
could be round two.

Kosta.

Are you gonna smoke
that thing or fuck it?

I'm sticking around for this.

Don't worry Kostas,
it's on my own time.

Okay, okay, bravo, bravo.

I don't know why you
don't answer your phone,

but this is ridiculous Rebecca.

I love you.

You know I don't
have my wallet on me

because you said that I look

like a Pakistani with
a bomb in my pocket.

Please, call me back.

Now you can stop
telling me off.

Hello.

What happened?

Did you find Rebecca?

No, uh, she's, uh,
not answering her phone,

so I just thought
I'd come out here,

see if she's here, but,
uh, yeah, she's not.

No, no, here,
Rebecca not here.

I'll just head back inside.

Finish off my drink.

Good idea.

I reckon he was
gonna do a runner?

That one?

You think so?

Yes.

Didn't you see him?

He looked very guilty.

He was all nervous.

Hello, Katerina, how are you?

Hi, Helen, I'm well thanks.

That's good love.

I should be going back inside.

Angelo's had an accident.

He's okay Kostas,
he's home now.

That wasn't his fault.

He didn't see it.

He hit a motorbike, one of
those Domino Pizza scooters.

The poor thing panicked
and didn't stop.

It was the shock.

He wasn't thinking properly.

You can't see those
bloody scooters

at the best of times.

They shouldn't be legal.

He was at the Royal Melbourne.

They couldn't tell
me how he was.

I pretended I was one of
the managers at Domino's.

I think he was scared because
the police would come.

He's had terrible luck
in his life Kostas.

He's worried about the police

getting his number
plate from the cameras

and tracing it to the Taverna.

What are you doing?

Sit down Arman.

We need to talk.

What are you doing here?

You know there's an
intervention order.

I work here.

Are you going to report me?

No.

But if Rebecca
sees you, she will.

You're a coward.

You couldn't even
tell me to my face.

And what about Ruby?

Your own flesh and blood.

You walk out on us
as if we were shit.

Look at her.

See how much she's grown
in just two months.

You can't face the facts that

you've completely fucked over me

and Ruby for a dirty old slut.

She's not that.

Yes, she is, don't defend her.

Ruby hates you.

Do you know that?

I had everything
planned for you,

but you ruined it.

Sending her text messages,
slashing her tires,

emailing her work,
harassing her,

doing crazy things.

She's from an important family.

Okay, you run off and
expect me to be nice about it.

I was gonna take care of
you and Ruby with money,

set you up for the
rest of your life

so you wouldn't have to
worry about finances.

I don't want their money.

Come home Arman.

When you become an engineer,

we'll have all
the money we need.

It's not too late.

I still love you.

You know you love me, too.

I have Rebecca now.

Did you see the
text I sent you?

Yeah.

You can have me and
that dancer, for instance,

whenever you want.

She told me she wants
to fuck us both.

When are you
going to face facts?

I don't love you anymore.

I think you're sick.

You won't get Ruby.

Honestly, I'd prefer
her to stay with you,

but Rebecca wants her now.

She won't get her.

Hey, that smells amazing Omer.

I put extra garlic.

Do you miss Ang?

Yeah.

Who am I kidding.

I love him.

I think about him every day,

even though he's a shit.

Hey, sometimes
you've just gotta face

the facts and accept
people for who they are.

I saw Helen before.

I think she blames me for
Ang being on the ghee.

No way.

No, she's probably
just angry at herself.

How's Frank?

We just had this huge fight.

Oh, what happened?

I forgot to order his pizza

and then I yelled at him.

I'm an idiot, aren't I.

Seriously, I've gotta
stop doing this.

You know, I felt violated
with that guy, I still do.

But, and this is gonna sound
completely inappropriate.

At least he made me feel
wanted and appreciated.

All for the wrong
reasons, I know,

but at least I got
some attention.

I get it babe.

Listen, you need to stop
ordering pizzas for Frank.

He gets stressed out
doing stuff for himself.

He's a grown man,
he'll sort it out.

Make him appreciate you more.

I know, but here's
the thing, right.

For the last half an hour,

all I can think about
is taking home a souv.

'Cause like that's
how my brain works,

he makes me feel guilty

and then I do things for him.

Sally, seriously,
I do not recommend

that you take home the
souv for Frank tonight.

Okay, thanks Kat.

Yeah, you're right.

You're the best.

Here you go guys,
sorry about the wait.

The glue.

Yes.

Can I get you lovebirds
anything else?

You?

You want another drink?

No.

Okay, I'll just
grab your bill then.

Jamila.

Um, can I borrow some money?

I'll pay you back tomorrow.

I don't have any.

Doesn't she give you money?

I don't know where
she is right now.

Be careful old man.

These people are not like us.

Like you.

I know what I'm doing.

Do you?

You see that jacket on
the back of your chair?

Feel it.

That is Vicuna wool.

It's from the most expensive
sheep in the world.

I never even heard about ti.

How much do you think that cost?

Have you been drinking?

Because it's not worth this.

Are you sure?

Are you sure?

Nah.

Don't drink anymore
Kostas, please.

Okay?

I'll call Zeus Goldman
if I get arrested.

That's what I was
waiting for, I was.

Uh, bravo.

Oy!

Two more beers, yeah.

Two more.

Bar is closed.

You keep closing things.

Sorry, boys.

No more.

Go to the pub.

That's not fair, mate.

That's unfair?

Yeah.

That's not fair?

And it is fair for
you to sit here

and drink and eat for free.

That's fair?

Yeah, it's fair.

That review.

Post it.

Post it.

I'm gonna close
your shop down.

Get the fuck out
of my restaurant.

Now.

Out!

Get the fuck out.

Oy!

No need to be so fucking rude.

Out!

Exo!

Exo!

Kostas, can I get paid?

I have to go home
because the babysitter's

about to leave soon.

Yes, of course, of course.

Sorry about the
shouting darling.

Okay, did you get your tips?

Yeah, Sally gave
me what she earned.

Okay, okay.

Did you get a chance
to talk to him darling?

Yeah.

It's definitely over between us.

Okay.

Time for you to
fall in love again.

You are young and beautiful.

There are a lot of men

out there for you Jamila.

Yes?

Here.

Thanks Kostas.

Here.

Well.

He can't pay the bill

because he left
his wallet at home

and that slut, I mean Rebecca,

she was supposed to pay,

but she's still missing.

Rebecca hasn't come back yet?

Where did she go?

Maybe I have to
speak to her father.

Well, he's embarrassed.

Okay, go tell him the
bill is done, all right.

No problem.

Not to worry.

We're not gonna say
anything to him.

I already told Arman what
a lovely girl he had,

what a lovely girl.

What does that mean?

Mean a true friend
tells the bitter truth.

Okay.

So bring it on.

Your dancing is no good.

Okay.

Geez.

You know, maybe if
you had of said that

to me yesterday, I'd
have been crushed.

But I'm an actress,

not a dancer.

So thank you for
your honestly Omer.

Okay, now it's my turn.

Okay.

You have to get over

the death of your wife and kids.

Can I take you home?

It's the least I can do.

This is Ismelt,
this was Singue.

What was that?

Huh?

Another one, another one.

You say to the police
Kostas left the restaurant

and went home because
Helen was sick.

Don't do it Kostas.

And if I go to jail,

you are going to
tell the customers

that Kostas has gone to Greece

for family business.

All right?

That's it.

Kostas!

Kostas!

Rebecca?

Rebecca.

What happened?

Babe, where were you?

What the fuck
is she doing here?

I work here.

Thank God you're okay.

What the fuck
is going on Arman?

I was waiting for you.

What happened?

I got fucking kidnapped.

- What?
- Who darling?

By him, that fucking creep.

Omer?

No, darling, no.

Omer is the head serf.

He locked me in
his fucking van.

I will fucking kill you.

A serf Arman, he's more man

than you'll ever be.

Get fucked Jamila.

Hey!

Oh, fuck, this place is
like a fucking brothel.

What did you do Omer?

Omer wouldn't hurt a fly.

Sorry, Rebecca,
I'm sorry, Rebecca.

Omer, why'd you do this?

Don't pick on him.

Shut the fuck up bitch.

You shut up slut.

You breach the order again,

this time you're going
to jail so fuck you.

Babe, I know you're upset,

but please just calm down.

You will never get Ruby.

I don't fucking want her.

Yes.

It is true that I
attacked this lady.

Omer, are you for real?

Because I want
for Jamila and Arman

to speak alone.

But I asked you to go.

And you were very rude to me.

But I'm sorry, lady, okay.

They had things,

a husband and wife
must say to each other

before it ends.

No messages on computer.

No fucking bullshit lawyers.

They have to be alone to say it.

It was all love.

And when it ends, it's very sad.

There's a little
girl in the middle.

She feels sad, too.

The hearts break, freeze.

Life hurts us.

Gods doesn't protect us.

It has become
broken from sadness.

I could never leave my
Berta now for someone else

and then try to take her
children away from her.

No, this is not love.

I don't judge you Arman

and maybe if I had long
enough with my wife,

maybe I understand
the temptation

of another woman,

but inside my heart,
now is forever

and our children by her side.

My friend Sally,

she says to me that
I must move on.

I know it is true.

But.

You can never grow
over a broken heart.

I never got the
chance to say goodbye.

I never got to the chance
to mend my children.

Give me one more.

I never got a chance
to say goodbye.

To kiss Berta.

To hold her hand.

To be with her when she died.

To kiss Ismet and my little boy.

I never got a chance to
give one last hug and kiss

to my daughter.

I couldn't tell her
how much I love her.

I love her.

Hey.

Kostas.

I'm in breach of
my working visa.

Okay, go home, leave tomorrow.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Hello, officers.

Please come in.

- Good evening, sir.
- Hello.

We're looking for a
Kostas Cyriaki, is that you?

Yes.

Constable Farley,
Constable Louie,

we're from the
Miraben Police Station

around the corner.

Just need to have a chat to you.

What happened?

You folks all right?

Yeah, yeah,
we're just leaving.

Thank you Kostas

for an interesting night.

Rebecca, next
time we dance, yes.

Yeah.

Okay, thank you so
much, okay, good night.

Good night.

Thank you Kostas.

Okay.

Yes, Arman.

Sir, do you ride
in a white vehicle,

it's a BMW 2014 model

with the registration
LG zed 611?

Is that your car?

Yes.

Would you like
something to drink.

A glass of water or something.

Water would be good.

Water?

Katerina.

Water please.

Mr. Cyriaki?

Oh, you can call me Kostas.

Kostas.

Under Section 60 of
the Road Safety Act,

you're required to
give us information

as to who was driving
that vehicle tonight.

It's been involved
in an incident

down on South Road.

It was about 8:20 p.m.

Can you tell me who
was driving your car?

It's really important that
you answer our questions.

Thanks.

Yes.

Um.

Sir, you can't drink that.

I'm here to talk to
you about your car

that's been involved
in an incident.

If you were driving it tonight,

we're going to have
to breath test you.

Can you put it down please?

All right.

We need you to tell us

who was in possession
of your vehicle tonight.

I bought this car
for my son, he drives.

I see.

What happened?

Was he speeding?

Kostas, your
son left the scene

of an accident tonight.

You can have that water now,

but we need to ask you
a few more questions.

What's going on?

I think everything
is gonna be okay.

Totally.

You won't get Ruby.

I don't
fucking want her.

Wow, well, that's
got them fucked.

Good boy Samir.

I have to go Omer,

but thank you for everything.

It's nothing.

No, that's not true.

I'll give you a lift.

Yeah, that would be great.

Good night Katerina.

Good night baby.

Thanks Kat.

You on tomorrow?

Unfortunately, yes.

Hey.

Don't stop for any
pizzas tonight, okay.

No.

Goodnight Omer.

Come on Omer,

let's go for a smoker.

All right, dear.

You're not gonna
kidnap me, are you?

No promises.

Katerina.

Come and have a look.

Oh, it's fucking playing.

Hey!

Ch!

Hey!

Ch!

Ex, ex, ex, ex!

Sks, sks, exa, exa.

Bravo.

Bravo possum.

Little possum.
