How could I not love her?
She's my mother, and she's wonderful,
But she's Greek,
A Greek mother is like a conventional Jewish mother,
except everything's drenched in olive oil and tragedy,
Overbearing, possessive, always scheming,
She's a control freak,
She uses food and guilt like weapons,
And yet, she's radically kind,
Crazy loving, tremendously caring,
And generous, I mean, overwhelmingly generous,
Warm,
But she lies,
She lies all the time,
-All the time, -All the time,
All the time,
She would give money to my friends,
so they would hang out with me,
She once told me if I walked barefoot,
I couldn't get pregnant,
Now I always wear socks,
When I was a child, she once got all the labels
on my clothes to make me believe I was a size four,
I was a size 14,
I really liked this boy,
She paid him $200 so that he would kiss me,
Completely untrue,
It was $100, and I offered him free gyros for one month,
See? Who's the liar?
Uh, I'm not a shrink,
I'm a gynecologist,
Yep, gynecologist,
From the Greek word, "gyneca," which means "woman,"
which means you know women,
So tell me, what's wrong with my daughter?
Ten times I call her today,
ten times she does not answer the phone,
What can she be doing that is so important
she will not answer to her only mother?
Uh,,,
Sex,
Sex?
With whom? With whom?
If you're having sex, you answer the phone,
You say, "Mama, I'm having sex,
I'm okay, I'll call you later,"
If not, I have diarrhea,
[Ella] Since antiquity,
Greek mothers have haunted their daughters
with overbearing love until the day they die,
And then, the daughters miss them,
idealize them, and become them,
So basically, Greek mothers get to live forever,
metaphorically speaking,
I have diarrhea when I get stressed,
[Ella] Except for my mother, Despina,
She literally survived her own death,
["Kamia Den Miazi Me Sena Matia Mou" by Giannis Ploutarhos]
My story starts here in Greece,
Looks like paradise, doesn't it?
-You know this word is filthy, -Mm-hmm,
It's a dangerous world,
But we'll protect her, right?
-[Ella] Meet young Despina, -I will protect her,
She hadn't turned into her own mother yet,
She is so tinny,
[Ella] But all the signs were already there,
Baby Ella,
Did you say "Ella"?
I though we agreed in Zoe,
No, no, we said "Ella,"
When? At what time?
I told you a thousand times, "Ella,"
After the greatest singer in earth Ella Fitzgerald,
And you know she was Greek,
My love,
-Ella Fitzgerald was not Greek, -Yes, she was,
No, she wasn't, She was not Greek,
-Yes, she was, -Not at all,
She was one fifth Greek,
Where did you get that number from?
-Here's the deal, -Okay,
She had a car accident, -All right,
After that she had a blood transfusion,
Oh!
The guy that gave her the blood, he was Greek,
So she's Greek, Yes,
[laughs] Okay, Okay, You win,
You know I always win,
[Ella] At that point, I was totally unaware
that my mother is preparing a lifelong attack of love
and terror and extra virgin olive oil,
"The old vagabond finally revealed himself
"to this very poor family,
"who gave him the only piece of tiny bread they had left,
"He revealed himself as one of the twelve Greek gods,"
Now, do you know which one it was?
King of the gods, God of thunder,
-Law, Order, -Zeus!
Bingo! First try, huh?
It must be lonely being a god,
Well, actually, the gods are quite social,
according to legend,
One of their favorite activities is to descend
from the peak of Mount Olympus,,,
and meddle in the lives of humans,
To help them?
Possibly,
But usually it's just to mess with their destiny,
But why would they do that?
Mostly to win a bet,
They're really bad gamblers, like your mom,
They throw money everywhere, you know?
-How much money? -Stop telling lies,
Time for a nap,
[indistinct muttering]
If she doesn't sleep, you know what will happen?
She'll never grow,
I'm fine, Mama, Stop worrying,
I'll stop worrying when I'm dead,
Go to bed,
I'm gonna go sleep with her, okay?
We talked about this [indistinct],
She coughed twice,
She coughed twice?
-You need to go, -Okay,
[Ella] My mother was becoming increasingly irrational,
obsessed with protecting me from life and its perils,
While my dad remained a warm source of strength,
encouraging me to dream boldly,
Kalimera!
Could we go see the Acropolis?
Are you crazy?
[exclaims] Sun is cancer,
-You shouldn't live in Greece, -[young Ella chuckles]
Tasso, quickly, there is food in the truck,
-Please, -With what we start, boss?
Start with quitting smoking,
This is cancer, Cancer on a stick, okay?
Are you gonna help me? I'm struggling over here,
When I get older, I want to write songs just like you,
[Ella] My dad, Jack, he was the balance,
In America, he owned a thriving Greek concert hall, a bouzouki,
He took the stage and performed every night,
Now, he had us,
Happy birth--
Wait, wait, where are the candles?
-Candles are cancer, -Candles are cancer?
-Yes, -Okay,
-I googled it, -Okay,
-Very toxic, -Okay,
When they melt, it's disgusting,

Thank you, [chuckles]
Now, do you want to know what I got for you?
Plane tickets to New York?
That's exactly what she was gonna say,
-Why? -She figured it out,
-Why? -Plane tickets to New York,
Stop putting ideas in her head,
New York is so overrated, baby,
Do you know where go
the American people for holidays?
Here in Greece, okay?
You are in paradise,
I'll go get your gift,
[Ella] And that's when I met him,
I got you a friend,
He's from America, He has no friends,

But this is a Greek story,
Meaning that what seems to be the beginning
of a romantic comedy is about to turn into an epic,
tragicomical Greek drama,
Starting now,
I have to go to America,
No!
Cool,
For how long?
-Two weeks, -Oh,
[Ella] Two weeks turned into two years,
He broke my heart, But the worst was yet to come,
[chatter over radio]
Many are saying than the Grace up today is unrecognizable,
Ella, would you like some baklava?
I think it's almost dinner time,
This is fiber, protein, and a drop of honey,
No fat,
-I know, -You know, that's enough,
Honey, no, she's old enough to listen to the news,
No one is old enough to listen to the news,
Not those days,
I'll take the baklava if no one wants it,
[Ella] That night, I assumed the tension
between my parents was only due to the Greek economic crisis,
I was unaware that my dad was sick,,,

He had cancer,

[groans] If you could just call me,,,
Everybody could just call me Lou,
-Lefteris, -Lou,
Lefteris is gonna make,,,
a masterpiece documentary about me,
My life, how I flew
from Greece for a better life here in Socrates Island,
[Lou] That's really sweet,
But I actually came to, uh, you know,
make a documentary on the Greek diaspora,
to make a documentary on that, and how a small Greek--
Are you single? Ella is single,
She just turned 20 today,
-Happy birthday, -That's untrue,
-I'm twenty-- -[indistinct],
A woman, she stays 20 until she turns 39,
Then she stays 39,
Lefteris, let me tell you the story
of how I invented the Greek gyros in '82,
You invented the kebab?
[gasps] Who are you? What are you doing here?
We're closed, And it's not kebab,
It's gyros,
In Greece, we make, we eat, gyros,
But it's the same sandwich, right?
Greek sandwich is much better,
Gyros, Okay?
Kebab is an inferior plagiarism,

He is also a great producer, who is launching

Et voila,
Right, For which part? The hungry dwarf?
No, Snow White, obviously,
Hether,
Stop pressing her, Ella is not a singer,
[Ella] Mom's right,
I-- I sweat when I sing in public, so,,,
[Despina] Exactly, Mom is right,
Now, eat your fish and sign that lease,
Could I have something lighter?
[Despina] You wanna eat something lighter than fish?
You wanna eat what? Paper?
Tasso, Tell her that the fish is light,
-Fish is light? -No need to lie for her,
Mom, why do you need to lie constantly?
Tasso, Pater,
Do I ever lie?
[nervously] No,
Sometimes, You do tend to express,,,
[Ella] Yeah, sometimes,
Like the time you lied to me about Dimitri Voodsos
being in love with me,
Same old story,
Elitzamu, Elitzamu,
He was crazy about you,
I was twice his height
and he called me "The Monster Truck,"
He loved trucks,
What about Georges?
You told him I wanted to become a nun,
She was a scorpion,
-Costas? -He had a scar on his face,
You'll see,
One day you'll become a mother
and that day I wish for you to have a daughter
that makes you suffer as much as you make me suffer,
Well, the Greek curse won't work,
I'm never having kids,
Nor a husband, [sighs]
Elitza, where are you going?
I'm going to that audition,
And then I'm going to stay with Heather for a little while
and figure out what I actually want to do with my life,
There's nothing to think about,
The lease is right here, You just have to sign it,
I am not signing that lease,
Oh, and one more thing,
I'm done with olive oil,
[exclaims] What are you doing? It's just olives,
No fat, Olives,
-[Ella] Let's go, Heather, -But what's happening?
What's-- what's happening?
What-- why are you doing that?
Elitzamu, I forbid you to leave me,
You wouldn't survive two minutes without me,
-Hear me? -And whose fault is that, Mom?
All my life, you smothered me, Manipulated me,
You never trusted me and you never believed in me,
You failed me as a mother,
Dad would be so sad to see what I've become,
That's it,
That's it, It's coming,
It's now, That's it,
The heart,
Oh, perfect timing for the daily heart attack,
If you're going to die, just die,
Skip the ridiculous theater
and do something honestly for once,
[sighs]
What time are you coming back?
Ella, I'm talking to-- Ah!

Elitzamu!

[Chief] I'm, uh, sorry I'm late,
-I apologize, -Chief, what are you doing here?
Well,,,
you invited me, but you don't remember,
You were doing a lot of the Ouzo,
-[Chief chuckling] -Chief, what's happening?
I'm sorry, like, I-- I--
I'm the living proof that some people should never drink,
I agree, but,,,
you got me thinking after that drunken performance of yours,
I didn't mean to offend anybody,
But you did, You did,
And I found that very, very amusing,
Did you see her with the running with the boobs?
-[Chief laughing] -[Nick] Really?
It was wonderful, And you are right,
We are here to save lives,
-not to make boobs, -Really?
I mean, how true, Of course,
It's, um, I'm sorry, am I not fired?
No, We are expanding the ER,
That means we need good surgeons,
And you are a good surgeon, are you not?
I am,
Or I could make a call for you,
I have a friend at the big city at the memorial,
I'm sorry, The big city, you mean New York?
I could get you back in there,
This is-- this is, of course, your choice,
That will be incredible, I would love that,
That is if Ella does not mind, uh, leaving the island,
Oh, no, she's willing to make the sacrifice,
She's a trooper,
Great,
I will see you both on the 23rd,
-It's a date, -It is a date,
Is this,,, [sniffing]
Ah, it's my favorite, [chuckles]
I will take just a little, Okay, Thank you, Bye,
So you and I are good, right?
Yeah, Yeah, Why shouldn't we be?
Okay, well,,,
are you free on the 23rd then?
Probably not, but I'll check,
Cool, Well, I'll call you to lock it in then,
Dogs,
Actually,,,
it turns out I'm not free on the 23rd,
Well, that's annoying, What are you doing?
Avoiding cruel, self-absorbed pigs,
Hey, wait a second, [scoffs]
I thought you were fine with us being friends,
I lied,
Okay, Ella, um,,,
relax, it was just sex, it's no big deal,
The first time usually is,
Hold on,
Are you saying you're a 27-year-old virgin?
Goodbye, Nick,
The party's almost over, Hey, it's dark outside,
Where is the singer? What happened to your face?
Go put some makeup on, You're going to scare my guests,
This is a disaster,
We agreed on a band with a singer,
Pater Vassilis, he has a bad case of the flu,
He could not make it,
And nobody says anything, We just--
I'm sorry, boss, I thought I told you,
Well, who's going to sing?
Um, you can,
Deal, You sing,
[distant chattering]
Imagine they're all naked,
Not working, Mom,
Now I'm seeing myself naked,

Forget about him,
He's not worthy,

Let's give it up for Christos and Pizza,
[speaks Greek]
My husband and I, we've been together for 30 wonderful years,
But God knows, we had our challenges,
My son once asked me, "Mama, how do you make it work?"
Well, it's simple: if something is broken,
you don't throw it away, you fix it,
And if it isn't broken, you don't fix it,
-Right, Christos? -[football game din]
Christos, turn off that football game and bring your ass
up on stage now before I break your head,
[cheering and applause]
-Opa! [giggling] -Opa!
Opa! I love you!
[emotional piano instrumental]
This Malaka is gonna pay,
-Mom, what's happening? -Nothing,
Just casting a little curse
upon his corrupted head, [exclaims]
Jesus!
Oh, my God, what the hell?
[Amanda] Did you see a rat?
Yeah, yeah, definitely,
[Amanda] Come on,
-Come back to bed, -Hey, okay,
-I got a surprise, -Okay, you do,
Love that, Let's go to bed then,
Ugh, wait,
-Uh, um, -Okay,
-I-- -This is temporary,
I got my period and I have to go to work,
But it's Sunday,
He's fully cursed, Doomed for life,
-Are you relieved? -No,
Some people are lovable and I'm not,
Let me tell you a story,
When I met your baba, he was dating stupid Fanula,
Mm-hmm, I tried everything to get his attention,
I cooked for him, nothing,
I even dyed my hair blonde for him,
Tragedy, Nothing,
-So-- -So you paid stupid Fanula money
so that she would break up with him?
Yes, I did, But that's not the point,
I showed my true self to him,
And turns out,,,
he liked the real me,
Yes, he liked the loud voice,
He liked the craziness, The olive oil, The obsessions,
The whole package,
Yes,
Because, you know, I-- I--
I don't know if you ever picked on that,
but sometimes I can be a little over the top,
-You think? -[Despina laughing]
So what happened to stupid Fanula?
Well, he dumped her ass,
Pardon my Greek,
He dumped stupid Fanula, Moved to Greece, Married me,
Always show your true self [indistinct],
Like you did on that stage yesterday,
[Ella] Before her death, my mother was the obstruction,
The inert force that held me back,
But then, surprise,
Here she was, pushing me forward,
And it looked like the world's ultimate late bloomer
was finally ready to bloom,
So I went for the dream,,,
thinking, I could be Snow White,
And never think you're not lovable,
Besides,,,
if you don't love yourself,,,
who's gonna love you?
[laughing]
What are you lau-- I got something-- Or what?
Why are you laughing?
Because in two rom-coms out of three,
at the midpoint, girl gets rejected,
Cut to there's a whole makeover sequence,
Okay, I did not understand the word of that, but--
Oh,
You have a, like, a huge black hair right here,

[Ella] Since antiquity,
Greek mothers have haunted their daughters
with overbearing love until the day they die,
And then the daughters miss them,
idealize them, and become them,
One day, you may look back on this tape
and think, "My mom was out of her mind,"
You may be right,
This is crazy love,
With your grandmother, it was always difficult
to discern what was real from what wasn't real,
An illusion is real as long as you believe in it,
It's all about faith,,,
trust,,,
perception,
We don't see things as they are,
We see things as we are,
So always stay true to yourself
and you'll be fine,
Eva, [speaking in Greek],
Today, I'm making you this promise,
I will always let you lock your bedroom door
and I will not keep a copy of the key,
I will not lie to you,
I will not go through your phone,
I'll let you pick your boyfriends or whoever,
And if you prefer salted butter to olive oil,
that's okay,
I may not always be the perfect mother,,,
but always remember this,
It was all out of love,
just like your grandmother said,
And cut,
[chuckles] Oh,
I'm gonna go call my mom and tell her
that I'm not deep in debt anymore,
Thank you so much,

I win,
-I win, -What?
You said I could not resolve the mother-daughter thing,
And let love prevail, I did this,
For millennia, you have been a useless playboy,
What's your point?
You are incapable of taking care of a girl's life
without trying to get her into your--
Opa! Whoa, whoa, whoa, Opa! Opa!
Let's not go there, We had a great day at here,
-[indistinct], -The boss is right,
Shut up, Poseidon, You've always been a bootlicker,
Hera and I made a bet,
She thought he would change and become benevolent,
And Athena thought that he would--
[Athena] Mess it up,
You're jealous because you're single,
[scoffs] I am the goddess of the unmarried,
I'm single by choice,
[laughs] That's what they all say,
At least I have a brain, Aphrodite,
At least I'm not a 2,027-year-old virgin, Athena,
Stop bickering, you two,
How are you doing, bro?
Oh, oh, My restaurant is non-smoking,
Sorry, I'm late, Parking was terrible,
So, what did I miss?
[grunts] Who won? Hera or Athena?
What?
You were all in on this?
I say the humans won,
A toast to Ella and to Nick,
[all] Opa!
Sorry to interrupt,
Again,
And don't look at me like that, The bouncer let me in,
[Hades grunts]
[indistinct], he loves my gyros,
So,,, [smacks lips]
,,,could I go back downstairs, just for a quick trip?
[indistinct] singing tonight, I haven't seen that voice,
And also, I really wanted to--
[all] Just go!
Thank you, Thank you,
