Quotes from
Aleko Sinnikoglou:
Women! God made the mistake of giving them tongues.
Vasso Topouzoglou: [to Stavros] The Turks... they spit in our faces, and they say it's raining.
Abdul: [On his knees to Stavros without sincerity and finishing on a note of menace] I beg your forgiveness. I cannot live without your forgiveness. Before all this company I beg your forgiveness. Brother, don't leave me on my knees like this. Don't insult my soul. Brother, I have never been on my knees to a Greek. Brother, I'm warning you, with a Turk there can be brotherliness or its opposite. I'm warning you, brother... brother... brother... Too bad... oh... Too bad.
