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.
15:06Seatbelt.
15:21Hello?
15:22Hey, you're up.
15:23Yeah, I was just writing something.
15:25Where are you?
15:26Um, I'm out driving.
15:28Just clearing my head.
15:30George, I don't want to fight.
15:33Neither do I.
15:34I'm really glad you called.
15:36I got it.
15:37Yeah, me too.
15:38I got it.
15:41Who is that?
15:42George, who is that?
15:44It's nobody.
15:50It's nobody.
15:51It's nobody.
15:52It's nobody.
15:53It's nobody.
15:54It's nobody.
15:55It's nobody.
15:56It's nobody.
15:57It's nobody.
15:58It's nobody.
15:59It's nobody.
16:00It's nobody.
16:01It's nobody.
16:02It's nobody.
16:03It's nobody.
16:04It's nobody.
16:05It's nobody.

16:18It's nobody.
16:20It's nobody.
16:22It's nobody.
16:34Are you okay?
16:40Is that your fiance?
16:45She's not
16:47my
16:48Hey, how was I supposed to know you were gonna call her?
16:54Oh.
16:58Oops.
17:10Pfft.
17:19Do you want me to call her and explain?
17:21No.
17:25Is there anybody that you need to call?
17:26No.
17:31I didn't even bring my phone with me.
17:33I just left with this dress.
17:36You must think I'm crazy.
17:41I'm not crazy.
17:42I'm not crazy.
17:43I'm not crazy.
17:44I'm not crazy.
17:48I'm not crazy.
17:56Today's my wedding day.
18:00I've been planning it for a year.
18:03We're expecting about 500 people.
18:09I ordered tons of white roses
18:11and hundreds and hundreds of fairy lights.
18:15It's a small fortune,
18:18but it would have been beautiful.
18:24What happened?
18:27I don't know.
18:30I really don't.
18:46Hey.
19:04What's wrong?
19:06Oh, crap.
19:09Well, whatever it is, I'm sure you can fix it,
19:11Mr. Hot Shot Engineer.
19:13Yeah, we're out of petrol.
19:18Wait here. I'm going to go get some.
19:22The sign says there's a station two kilometres ahead.
19:25Well, I'll come with you.
19:33My best mate Chris introduced us when we were studying in London.
19:37Oh, is that when you got your British accent?
19:40Yes.
19:42He said she was perfect for me because she was the female version of him.
19:46They even have the same name, Chris, Christina.
19:51Oh, feel it. I love it when the wind changes.
19:56She's not answering.
19:59Maybe she has it on silent.
20:01No, her phone is always on.
20:04And she always answers with a colour.
20:06What do you mean?
20:07Well, her hello became yellow.
20:09And now every time she answers my call she says blue or purple.
20:13Sounds like something I would do.
20:16She's nothing like you.
20:18That is her only quirk.
20:20Not that bad.
20:24OK, stop. Ow.
20:26Ow, ow.
20:28Just hold on a second.
20:30What's the matter?
20:31Nothing.
20:37You wanted to walk two kilometres in Stiletto Hills?
20:41I didn't think it would be this far.
20:43Well, why don't you go back to the car and I'll meet you there?
20:48We can't walk all the way back.
20:50Besides, we're closer to the gas station now.
20:52Can you make it to the gas station?
20:55No.
20:57OK, well, take them off.
21:00I'm not walking barefoot all the way there.
21:04Well, what do you suggest we do?
21:30I'll go get some petrol.
21:33Get back to the car.
21:39Then I'll come back and fetch you, OK?
21:42OK.
21:45Do you want company for the walk back?
21:50Can you lend me some money for a drink?
21:53No.
21:55OK.
21:56Can you lend me some money for a drink?
21:59Oh, yeah. Sure.
22:09You're not going to leave me here, right? You're going to come back.
22:13Would you like some kind of a guarantee?
22:16No, I trust you.
22:21Did I do something to you?
22:23Is there a reason why you won't let me sleep today?
22:26You will not believe the day I'm having.
22:29Where are you?
22:31I'm on the road, and I picked up a bride.
22:34A bride in your slang for a hooker now?
22:37No, she's an actual bride.
22:39I think all this marriage talk has finally pushed you over the edge, dude.
22:42Oh, Chris, mate, shut up. She's real.
22:46Does Christina know about this?
22:49Actually, she heard her over the phone.
22:52And I think she broke up with me.
22:54OK. Where are you? I'll come and fetch you.
22:58No, no, no. It's OK. I'm fine.
23:00I'll be back later.
23:02OK.
23:23OK.
23:53Hi, this is Christina. Do you know what to do?
24:23Ugh.
24:38This is why you need a bridesmaid.
24:54Hello?
24:59Bride?
25:01Hello?
25:04Hello?
25:24What are you doing?
25:27Nothing.
25:29I'm just stretching my legs.
25:32OK.
25:35Can we go now?
25:37No.
25:38No?
25:39No. I just need a few more minutes.
25:42OK.
25:44Well, I'll be in the car whenever you're ready.
25:53OK.
26:23OK.
26:24Are you in some kind of trouble?
26:26No.
26:28I'm just trying to help.
26:30OK.
26:31I'll be back.
26:33OK.
26:34OK.
26:35OK.
26:36OK.
26:37OK.
26:38OK.
26:39OK.
26:40OK.
26:41OK.
26:42OK.
26:43OK.
26:44OK.
26:45OK.
26:46OK.
26:47OK.
26:48OK.
26:49OK.
26:50OK.
26:51OK.
26:52OK.
26:53No problem.
26:56What do you mean?
26:58I'm not stupid.
26:59I saw you avoiding the cop back there.
27:01No I wasn't.
27:11Look.
27:13I don't want to get mixed up in anything, so whatever it is you've done, you just...
27:16I didn't do anything.
27:18My fiancé is a cop.
27:24He might have sent his guys out to look for me, I'm just not ready to go back.
27:29Why would the police be looking for you?
27:30Not the police, my fiancé.
27:32Okay, your fiancé.
27:34Why would he be looking for you?
27:37Because I left and I didn't tell anyone where I was going.
27:43I woke up this morning and for the first time in a year, I thought about the day after the
27:48wedding.
27:49And the day after that.
27:52My entire future life flashed before my eyes and it all just seemed conventional.
27:57And I thought to myself, is that it?
28:02What do you mean by conventional?
28:04You know, you do what's expected of you.
28:07You get married, get a mortgage, buy a house, have a baby, have another baby, work, school.
28:12The same story that everybody has.
28:16I knew exactly what my life was going to be.
28:19But isn't that a good thing, I mean, knowing?
28:23No.
28:24I like the unknown.
28:25I like that there's all this potential out there.
28:29Yeah, but what if nothing ever happens?
28:34Then that's the risk you take.
28:39I would choose the excitement of potential over the knowledge of boredom any day.
28:45It's not boredom.
28:47All that conventional stuff, that's life.
28:49I mean, what did you expect, some grand adventure?
28:52Maybe you're right.
28:53But at least before getting engaged, there was still the possibility of some adventure,
28:59of the unexpected.
29:01Now it kind of sealed my fate.
29:04I couldn't do it.
29:06And I don't think he was the love of my life.
29:10I didn't know women got cold feet.
29:12It's more than cold feet.
29:16What about the dress?
29:19Well, I got up, I started panicking.
29:23I thought if I put it on it would calm me down and I'd feel better.
29:26But it upset me even more, and then I knew everyone was going to wake up and I'd have
29:30to go through with it.
29:31So I got in the car and left.
29:35Are you 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?
29:46Okay, okay, fine.
29:49But isn't your family going to be, you know, worried about you?
29:54Yeah.
29:56Well, give them a call.
29:58I can't face them yet.
30:00I'm embarrassed.
30:02Can we just keep driving?
30:04To Cabo Greco?
30:05Yes.
30:07And not on the highway, if you don't mind.
30:11It's going to take us longer to get there.
30:13That's okay, as long as we're there for the sunset.
30:16All right.
30:18Oh, by the way, I don't even know your name.
30:25I know.
30:40Okay.
31:02I don't know what you're talking about.
31:04They end up together.
31:06They don't stay together.
31:07Yes, they do.
31:08Oh, no, they don't.
31:09How do you know?
31:10The movie ends with them together.
31:12Yeah, but it would have never lasted.
31:14What?
31:15Why?
31:19Joni and Baby, they come from very different worlds.
31:22She's a rich little princess, he's a bum.
31:24Once she's had enough of his dirty dancing,
31:26she would have to look for a lawyer or something.
31:28Yes, but you're forgetting that they were in love.
31:31No such thing.
31:33What?
31:34Lust.
31:35Yes.
31:36Love?
31:37No, this whole love thing.
31:39It's a fabrication that movies and society want you to believe in.
31:43So you don't believe in love?
31:45I believe in love between friends and family, yes,
31:47but not romantic love.
31:49It's not real.
31:51Are you insane?
31:52How can you say that?
31:55Because it's true.
31:59The entire history of the world is evidence that love exists.
32:03Empires have risen and fallen.
32:05Poor love, people have sacrificed their souls for it.
32:07That's not love.
32:09It's an illusion.
32:11It's a temporary feeling of infatuation.
32:14It doesn't last forever.
32:16Why do you think that every great romance ends in separation?
32:21To keep that illusion alive.
32:23Every great romance does not end up in separation.
32:26That's ridiculous.
32:27Romeo and Juliet.
32:29Casablanca.
32:31Gone with the wind.
32:32Titanic.
32:33Pretty Woman.
32:34That is not a great romance.
33:04What the hell was that?
33:11I'm afraid of ghosts.
33:13What?
33:30Seatbelt.
33:31What is your obsession with a seatbelt anyway?
33:34Just put it on.
33:36So, did you love him?
34:01And by love, I mean this magical feeling that you believe so deeply in.
34:07I thought I did.
34:09Did the feeling fade away?
34:11No.
34:13I just don't think it was the right feeling to begin with.
34:16Oh, so you don't love him?
34:17No, I do love him.
34:18It's just not the movie love.
34:20Say it.
34:22It's not movie love.
34:24Oh, just say it.
34:26You women.
34:27You have been ruined by the film industry.
34:29You listen to these romantic comedies and you think that's what real life should look like.
34:34Those movies were based on something.
34:36Yes, on someone's imagination.
34:39Great love exists.
34:41Oh, you'd have to be crazy to believe that.
34:43And you'd have to be crazy not to believe that.
34:50Can you pull over?
34:51What, here?
34:52Yeah.
34:53Why?
34:55Here.
34:56I'll be.
35:24I don't know if I'm going to make it, but I'm going to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my best to do my
35:54what are you looking for the news should be a bulletin on now here let me what did
36:06you do it just fell off it did not fall off you broke it I do you know how
36:12difficult it is to find this parts I'm sorry it was an accident
36:17you realize you're about to destroy this man don't be so dramatic besides you clearly know
36:30nothing about love oh I know plenty thank you very much really yes this action is scientific
36:36explanation of course there is we are programmed as mammals to go out seeking a mate because
36:41ultimately that's a biological purpose to procreate then you find this one person and
36:46your brain releases dopamine which incidentally the same chemical that is released when you're
36:51on cocaine and that's why people become so nuts when they're in love this is a really bad photo
36:55can you put that down you become obsessed with that person you can't stop thinking about them
37:02hence you crave them like a drug and this whole hormone induced state it's been described as being
37:08in love that's your mom yes then you finally sleep with a person and then another chemical
37:16is released oxytocin that stimulates attachment and is designed to keep the couple together long
37:22enough to raise their young so there you have it dopamine and oxytocin where's your father I
37:30have no idea it's involuntary brainwashing that makes us large into one person get married and
37:43have babies it's our species survival mechanism disguised by poets and dreamers as love
38:00Pull over, let me drive for a while. No, it's okay, I'm fine. Pull over!
