00:00What?
00:01How could you get lost? It's an island.
00:03I know it's an island.
00:05And you were able to get lost?
00:06Yes, it's possible to get lost in Cyprus.
00:08How?
00:09Because I make it possible.
00:12Look, I'm sorry. I'm tired.
00:16I don't understand why you're so upset.
00:18Tell me what I did. Just tell me.
00:21You don't know?
00:22No, I don't think I did anything wrong.
00:24Yes, you didn't do anything at all.
00:25What do you mean I didn't do anything at all? That's why you're so upset. Because I did nothing.
00:29I don't understand you.
00:31Hello? Hello?
00:59Hello?
01:26Hello?
01:27Hey, mate.
01:28George, what time is it?
01:30I don't know.
01:31Where the hell are you?
01:34I don't know.
01:36Man, it's 6am. 6am, George. On a Saturday.
01:40Are you bleeding?
01:41No.
01:42Are you in jail?
01:43No.
01:44Then call me later.
01:52You're an asshole.
01:53Yeah, that seems to be a popular opinion today.
01:56You wanna know why?
01:57Listen.
01:59I think I screwed things up with Christina.
02:03We were at this engagement party last night.
02:06We started talking and then all of a sudden we started fighting.
02:10What were you talking about?
02:13George.
02:14Yeah?
02:15You are an asshole.
02:16Why?
02:17Just pop the damn question.
02:19I'm not ready yet.
02:21Well, was she smart enough to leave you this time?
02:25Listen, just go home, get some sleep and we'll meet up later.
02:29Yeah, we'll see.
02:54Good night.
03:55Excuse me.
03:57Can I help you?
03:59I'm fine, thanks.
04:01Oh, could I help you?
04:03Do you need a lift somewhere?
04:05To a church, maybe?
04:08Oh no, I'm sorry.
04:09Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean anything by that.
04:11It's just that you're in the middle of nowhere and...
04:13Don't worry.
04:15My car broke down and...
04:19Well, we're on our way.
04:21And...
04:23Well, where are you going?
04:26I don't know.
04:28Great.
04:30Well, I'm headed in the same direction.
04:32Would you like to come along?
04:34I probably shouldn't.
04:37Okay.
04:38Well...
04:40Good luck.
04:58Actually, wait! Wait!
05:28Um...
05:29Seatbelt, please.
05:52I don't want to talk about it.
05:56Just curious.
06:00I'm George, by the way.
06:07Are you from Cyprus?
06:10Originally, yeah.
06:12But I grew up in the States.
06:14Oh, my Greek's not that good.
06:17You're not like a serial killer or anything, are you?
06:21What?
06:24Hello?
06:26Mom?
06:28Mom, relax. I'm fine.
06:30No, no, no, no, no. I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm just driving.
06:33No, I was not in an accident.
06:35Would I be talking to you if I was?
06:38I'm not shouting at you.
06:40I'm not shouting at you.
06:45Mama, I don't know.
06:47Later.
06:48Just later, Mom. I don't know.
06:51I'm not shouting.
06:55Mom, please.
06:58Okay, bye.
07:01Love you, too.
07:11Does that answer your question?
07:13Yes.
07:15Although Norman Bates liked his mother, too.
07:40I love you, too.
08:10Morning.
08:36Morning.
08:38Hi.
08:40Feeling better?
08:47Where are we?
08:50Well, I'm not sure.
08:52But I think we're headed east.
08:56Do you know where you want to go yet?
08:58Nope.
09:00Is there anywhere that you need to be?
09:04Actually, yeah.
09:06Cabo Greco around sunset.
09:09That's a cliff right by the sea.
09:12Beautiful spot.
09:14Very popular wedding destination.
09:18So I hear.
09:21Are you married?
09:22What?
09:30Nope.
09:32Are you?
09:36You okay?
09:38Yeah, yeah. All right.
09:40Are you a mechanic or something?
09:43Mechanic?
09:44No.
09:46I'm an engineer.
09:49This is my hobby.
10:09Do you often pick up random people at the side of the road?
10:12Are you calling yourself random?
10:15Do you answer every question with a question?
10:17Do you?
10:19Do you?
10:21Do you?
10:23Do you?
10:25Do you?
10:27Do you?
10:29Do you?
10:31Do you?
10:33Do you?
10:35Do you?
10:36Do you answer every question with a question?
10:38Do you?
10:39Oh, we have a live one.
10:42So what's your story?
10:44There is no story.
10:45Oh, please.
10:46What?
10:47Well, look at us.
10:49All we need is a giant white cake and we could be one of those figurines.
10:53You know, the ones on top of the cake.
10:56Tell me your story. Everybody has one.
11:01Okay, fine. Let me guess.
11:03You're on the run.
11:05But you're not running towards something because you don't know where you're going.
11:09So you must be running away from something.
11:12Now, what would a man run away from?
11:16The law?
11:18You don't look like a fugitive.
11:21Money problems?
11:23You look like you do all right.
11:27So it can only be one other thing.
11:34Well, that's not interesting at all.
11:36That's just a big cliché.
11:38Oh.
11:39So sorry to disappoint you.
11:42I'm sure your story must be fascinating.
11:44No.
11:46I'm a cliché too.
11:48But I'm trying to change that now.
11:49Oh.
11:51You're doing a very good job.
11:55So what is she?
11:56Wife?
11:59Girlfriend?
12:01Fiancée?
12:03Oh, she's your fiancée.
12:05And you broke off the engagement. Am I right?
12:07No.
12:08She's not my fiancée.
12:11But I think she would like me to be.
12:16And she's tired of waiting for you to get over your fear of commitment.
12:19And then you had a fight and you ran away.
12:22Yeah?
12:26Well, that's...
12:28really not interesting.
12:30You really are a big cliché.
12:32You're a cliché with a capital K.
12:34C.
12:35C what?
12:36Clichés don't work...
12:37Oh, never mind.
12:38No.
12:39In your case, it's with a K.
12:41Cliché.
12:43I am not a cliché, all right?
12:45I just like things the way they are.
12:48I don't understand why she wants this piece of paper so badly.
12:50It's not just a piece of paper.
12:52Yeah?
12:53Yeah?
12:54Well, I like things...
12:56the way they are.
12:58And to be honest with you...
13:00you know I'm there...
13:02because I want to be.
13:03Not because I have to be.
13:06Isn't that the commitment-phobe's mantra?
13:13I'm sorry.
13:14None of my business.
13:15Oh.
13:23Bye.
13:42So...
13:43Cabo Greco?
13:45If you don't mind.
13:47Why not?
13:48I have nowhere else to be.
13:50Let's do it.
13:52I'm waiting at sunset.
13:54I didn't say wedding.
13:56I said Cabo Greco.
13:58Okay.
14:03So do you love her?
14:05Excuse me?
14:07It's a simple question.
14:08What are you, a psychologist?
14:10No, I'm a schoolteacher.
14:12I teach film studies and drama.
14:14Shocking.
14:15Well, if you do love her, you should call her.
14:17You should call her right now.
14:19She's asleep right now.
14:20No, she's not.
14:21She's been up all night
14:22writing you a long e-mail about her feelings.
14:27I'm telling you,
14:29when everything is lost
14:31and you're stooped in regret,
14:34you're gonna look back to this very moment,
14:37bang your head against the wall,
14:38and say,
14:39I should have called her.
14:40Look,
14:41no offense, but...
14:43I don't think you're in any position
14:45to give people advice on matters of the heart.
14:47I mean, despite the fact that you look like the, um...
14:50The what?
14:51Well, like the wedding fairy.
14:53I am the wedding fairy.
14:55I appear magically to all lost men
14:57and help them salvage...
14:59Shit!
15:00What?
15:01Stop the car. Stop the car.
15:02What?
15:03Stop the car.

27:30the police my fiance okay your fiance why would he be looking for you because
27:37I left and I didn't tell anyone where I was going I woke up this morning and
27:44for the first time in a year I thought about the day after the wedding and the
27:49day after that my entire future life flashed before my eyes and it all just
27:56seemed conventional and I thought to myself is that it what do you mean by
28:02conventional you know you do what's expected of you you get married get a
28:09mortgage buy a house have a baby have another baby work school the same story
28:13that everybody has I knew exactly what my life was going to be but it's not a
28:21good thing I mean knowing no I like the unknown I like that there's all this
28:26potential out there yeah but what if nothing ever happens then that's the
28:36risk you take I would choose the excitement of potential over the
28:42knowledge of boredom any day it's not boredom all that conventional stuff
28:48that's life I mean what did you expect some grand adventure maybe you're right
28:53but at least before getting engaged there was still the possibility of some
28:57adventure of the unexpected now it kind of sealed my fate I couldn't do it and I
29:07don't think he was the love of my life huh I didn't know women got cold feet
29:11it's more than cold feet what about the dress
29:19well I got up I started panicking I thought if I put it on it would calm me
29:25down and I'd feel better but it upset me even more and then I knew everyone was
29:29gonna wake up and I'd have to go through with it so I got in the car and left are
29:35you wearing any of those garters underneath you know that something blue
29:42out of all the things I'm telling you that's what you care about okay okay
29:47fine but isn't your family gonna be you know worried about you yeah well give
29:57them a call I can't face them yet I'm embarrassed that's can we just keep
30:02driving to Cabo Greco yes I'm not on the highway if you don't mind it's gonna
30:11take us longer to get there that's okay as long as we're there for the sunset
30:15all right oh by the way I don't even know your name
30:24I know
30:45I don't know what you're talking about they end up together don't stay together
31:06yes they do yes they do no they don't how do you know the movie ends with them
31:12together yeah but it would have never lasted what why
31:20Joanie and baby they come from very different worlds she's a rich little
31:24princess he's a bum but just had enough of his dirty dancing she would have
31:28done for a lawyer or something yes but you're forgetting that they were in love
31:32no such thing what last yes love no this whole love thing it's a fabrication that
31:40movies and society wants to believe in so you don't believe in love we live in
31:46love between friends and family yes but not romantic love it's not real are you
31:51insane how can you say that because it's true the entire history of the world is
32:01evidence that love exists empires have risen and fallen for love people have
32:06sacrificed their souls that's not love it's an illusion it's it's it's a
32:12temporary feeling of infatuation it doesn't last forever what do you think
32:18that every great romance ends in separation to keep that illusion alive
32:23every great romance does not end up in separation that's ridiculous Romeo and
32:28Juliet Casablanca gone with the wind Titanic pretty woman that is not a great
32:35romance
33:06what the hell was that I'm afraid of ghosts
33:14Oh
33:29seatbelt what is your obsession with a seatbelt anyway just put it on
33:44Oh
33:58so did you love him and by love I mean this magical feeling that you believe so
34:04deeply I thought I did it the fillet head away no I just don't think it was
34:13the right feeling to begin with oh so you don't love him no I do love him it's
34:18just not the movie love say it it's not movie love oh just say it you women you
34:27have been ruined by the film industry you watch all these romantic comedies
34:30and you think that's what real life should look like those movies were based
34:34on something yes on someone's imagination great love exists
34:40you'd have to be crazy to believe that and you'd have to be crazy not to
34:44believe that
34:48can you pull over what here yeah why just for a second
35:10Oh
35:40what are you looking for the news should be a bulletin on now what did you do it
36:08just fell off it did not fall off you broke it I do you know how difficult it
36:13is to find this parts I'm sorry it was an accident you realize you're about to
36:24destroy this van don't be so dramatic besides you clearly know nothing about
36:30love oh I know plenty thank you very much really yes there's actually a
36:35scientific explanation of course there is we are programmed as mammals to go
36:39out seeking a mate because ultimately that's a biological purpose to procreate
36:44then you find this one person and your brain releases dopamine which
36:49incidentally it's the same chemical that is released when you're in cocaine and
36:52that's why people become so nuts when they're in love this is a really bad
36:55photo can you put that down you become obsessed with that person you can't stop
37:01thinking about them hence you crave them like a drug and this whole hormone
37:05induced state it's been described as being in love that's your mom yes then
37:12you finally sleep with a person and then another chemical is released oxytocin
37:18that stimulates attachment and is designed to keep the couple together
37:22long enough to raise their young so there you have it
37:26dopamine and oxytocin where's your father I have no idea
37:37it's involuntary brainwashing that makes us latch on to one person get married
37:43and have babies it's our species survival mechanism disguised by poets
37:50and dreamers as love
37:56you
37:58pull over pull over let me drive for a while no it's okay I'm fine
38:29pull over relax you don't have to drive I'm gonna sing the ants go marching
38:34until you pull over fine the ants go marching one by one hurrah hurrah the
38:41ants go marching one by one hurrah hurrah the ants go marching one by one
