Haunted Heart

Wait!

Please, wait!

I need to go to Anna's restaurant.

-Yes. Come in. -Yeah?

-Hello, Miss. -Yeah?

-Thank you. -Back over here.

Whew! Um...

You okay over there?

I don't like boats.

It's the water. I can't swim.

You came to work on an island.

Nobody told me it was on an island.

Okay.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Nice, guys. This one goes to that corner in the back.

-Over there? -Yes, George, dude.

Behind the big table, over there, in the corner.

-Okay. -Um, uh...

Excuse me, I'm looking for Anna.

-Anna? -Yes.

Unfortunately, she passed away many years ago.

Oh.

Can I help you with something?

Uh, yeah, maybe, I'm here for the hostess position.

-Oh, really? -Yeah.

Well, have a seat.

Mr. Webster will be here shortly.

-Mr. Webster. -Yes.

Okay. Thank you.

- Hello. - Uh, hello.

Hi. Hey.

- Hello. - Hello.

Yeah, you got it. Yeah!

Nina, have Milo start in on filleting those.

And tell him to be careful. It's a small fish.

Okay.

-Hey, beauty. -Nice shirt.

Does it glow in the dark?

Yeah, and that's a hell of a ring there.

Fuck you, Chico.

Grandpa much be rich, huh?

To afford a ring like that.

What's he now? 90? 91?

-72. -Oh, my God.

And how old is your father? Tell me again.

Look, you only have a month to be free,

but let's not waste it arguing.

It's actually only three weeks now.

-See you tonight? -You bet your ass.

Bro, you are late.

I got it.

-Dimitri? -Yeah.

Yorgos?

How's it coming?

Good, it's good.

Mr. Max. She's here.

-Who? -The hostess.

The woman who didn't show.

Oh, Christ, she finally showed up?

Yes, she's around back.

Sorry about that.

Mr. Webster?

-Max. -I'm Alejandra. Alex.

Yeah, the-- the hostess.

-Yeah. -Listen, uh,

you know, we expected you last week, right?

And we didn't hear from you.

So, we had to go ahead and hire someone else.

Dimitri.

-Dimitri? -Yeah,

however, if you'd like, I was thinking I could offer you uh...

-You hired someone else. -Yeah. But--

-But it's only been a few days. -I had to.

We open tonight.

You know what?

I-- I don't have time for this, okay?

Uh, the position's been filled. I apologize.

That one's on me, buddy.

Next one comes out of your check.

Mr. Webster, you have no idea what I went through

to get here, really!

Coming from Barcelona--

-Excellent. Um-- -Coming from Barcelona, I decided to stop in Milan--

I like it a lot. Lots of garlic.

I decided to stop in Milan for a couple of days

to visit my sister who lives there.

But when I was there, my bag was stolen.

I tried to get a new passport but, you know,

it was a holiday weekend in Milan.

So, my cell phone was in my bag,

and your number was in it, so I couldn't call you.

And this goddamn restaurant isn't listed anywhere. Sorry.

You know, Milan has some great restaurants.

You should've stayed there.

I had to wait 'til Monday to get a new passport,

and when I finally got it, it turned out

there was a strike at the airport.

- Ah, Max. - Yeah?

A-- A party of eight is coming tonight.

Where should I put them?

-Um... Table Four? -Dimitri?

-Yes? -Great. Thank you. Great.

So, I had been told the best option would be to come by bus.

So I did.

- You want to hold this open, please? -Yeah.

Here, take this.

So, for almost 24 hours, I was sat on a bus,

crossing Slovenia, Bosnia, Serbia, and Macedonia.

Can you believe it?

That goes on the counter over there.

Okay. And when I finally arrived to Athens,

I took a train to Volos,

and then a ferry all the way here.

And now you're telling me I don't have a job anymore.

-Really? -Uh, Milo,

you want to help me prep this, please?

Look, I meant to be here last week,

but now I'm out of money,

and I have nowhere else to go. I really need this job.

It's opening night. I've got my own problems.

I can't worry about yours.

Excuse me?

This is your problem. Not mine.

My problem? My problem.

That's nice.

You speak Spanish.

Listen,

as I tried telling you before,

before you started interrupting me,

the hostess position is filled.

However, we do need a server.

-A server. -That's right. A server.

So, if you can keep your expletives out of my kitchen,

and you can get here on time from now on,

the job is yours.

Okay, then.

What's that?

It's Chico.

Max, first wave.

I'm sorry, watch your step.

-Thank you. -Don't get too much drunk, okay?

-Hello! -Oh, my God. Look at you.

You're so beautiful today. What's your secret?

Okay. Enjoy your time. Welcome to the paradise.

Hello. Good evening. Hello. Welcome.

Water, please.

- Water. - Right. Right.

Neró, water;

anthrakoúcho neró, sparkling water;

erythró krasí, red wine;

lefkó krasí, white wine.

These people have been waiting for 20 minutes.

I don't understand.

Of course.

You came to work at a restaurant in Greece,

but you don't speak a word of Greek.

Four people out there.

Chop, chop, honey. They ain't getting any younger.

One's in, the other one's out.

They're marked and everything.

Ooh!

That was you out there?

Yeah.

Well, you know how it works.

First one's on you. Next one comes out of my check.

You got it.

Okay...

I'll take that little guy right there.

Look at him.

He's the master of his domain,

and we should all be so lucky.

Moving around,

chest all puffed out,

chasing any hen that gets in his way.

You know I hate that goddamn rooster.

Keeps me up all night making noise.

Thanks.

You didn't tell me she looked like that.

Come on, and dance with me.

Hey.

Okay.

You're gonna go with that?

-Yes. -Mm-hmm.

Well, that's good, because I'll have you mated in five moves.

Oh, fuck. Are you kidding me?

You know I'm gonna beat you one day.

-I promise. -Chico, come dance with me.

If you'll excuse me,

master of my domain.

I'm coming.

Hello, baby.

- Hey, nice to meet you. - Yeah, you, too.

Welcome.

Oh, my God.

You can sleep on my couch tonight, okay?

Until you find something else tomorrow.

I have a husband and three sons. It gets a bit crowded.

Oh, no, no, you can stay at my place.

There's plenty of room.

You can have my bed, and I'll sleep on the couch, okay?
