They tell me to say no;
-
but I don't even say that.
-
That is my last word.
-
We fetched him from over there,
We saved him... (speak up, jerk).
-
We fetched him from over there,
We saved him...
-
We fetched him from over there,
We saved him...
-
We fetched him from over there,
We saved him...
-
We fetched him from over there,
We saved him...
-
Ever since they brought him here...
he doesn't leave his house all day.
-
All day.
-
In the evening he comes to my bar,
sits down and plays the Lyra.
-
He sings along, but doesn't talk...
-
He doesn't talk, not at all.
He just plays and doesn't talk...
-
He is the best Lyra player in Crete.
-
He plays his Lyra, but he doesn't talk...
-
I don't say anything...
I don't say anything, I don't talk.
-
I don't say anything... I don't talk...
-
No, I don't say anything,
absolutely nothing I say.
-
Frankly, I don't understand
what was wrong with him...
-
The fact is, he must have been eating
cactus, tomatoes, thistles...
-
and lizards, as well, for sure.
-
Although almost nothing of these
lizards was found...
-
still when the police officers came to fetch him,
-
they found a lot of heads chopped off...
-
therefore they knew,
that he must have been eating lizards.
-
I picked him up with the boat...
sure he's been eating lizards...
-
I picked him up with the boat...
sure he's been eating lizards...
-
I picked him up with the boat...
sure he's been eating lizards...
-
Strange, just how he managed
to remain all alone on that island there.
-
Venetians, Saracens,
and Turkish went off
-
and when the lepers were brought away,
only he remained on that island.
-
When the last lepers were gone,
his relatives had him placed under disability...
-
and had him taken away with force.
-
They sent the police officers
to have him fetched...
-
It was difficult but eventually
they brought him over to us...
-
to a proper life.
-
On Spinalonga all the houses used to be
half-ruined already back then
-
Even the hospital
never worked properly.
-
The only thing still in working order on Spinalonga
was an old electricity generator...
-
they built a hospital but
there wasn't even constant water...
-
but just cisterns.
-
Simply no organisation.
-
Everybody just came here to die.
-
And everybody knew they would die in here.
-
At this moment,
as I stand before this camera...
-
this old man might already be dead.
-
There's a lot of stories like this one.
-
Good day, how are you?
-
Good day, how are you?
-
Good day, how are you?
-
Good day, how are you?
-
(Speak up, jerk)
-
We were supposed to say it again.
-
We fetched him from over there,
We saved him.
-
When the last Turkish fled from the island...
-
he jumped off a cliff into the sea
following the others.
-
On that rock
he left a foot print.
-
And our people built a shrine
and a chapel in that place.

-
When they came to fetch the old man with force...
-
he said:
What could you possibly do to me...
-
when I have an entire fleet behind me?
-
Yet his ships
were only carved into the rock.
-
Such bullshit!
-
Somehow he wasn't quite alright in his head.
-
There is no other explanation.
-
He used to be all alone, anyway.
-
As a physician
I have a lot of experience with that.
-
For example there used to be this leper...
-
he had no legs anymore
beginning from here...
-
and a woman who had no arms anymore.
-
They kept carrying each other around.
-
Out of pure necessity
they were leading a marriage.
-
Yet I do have to confirm to you,
-
that lepers have a distinct sex life.
-
One by one the man was losing his fingers, too.
-
Eventually he only had two left.
-
His last word was: I'm losing these, too
... then he died.
-
I don't say anything...
-
Absolutely nothing. What am I supposed to tell you?
I just don't want to.
-
I don't say anything...
-
I don't say anything... nothing at all.
-
I just don't talk.
-
No, I don't say anything...
-
I'm telling you once more:
that is my last word.
-
I don't talk, that is my last word.
-
I don't say anything...
-
That is my last word.
