About this episode

D: Εμπρός;/ Hello?

E: Γειά σου Δανάη μου εγώ είμαι η Έμιλυ / Hey Danai, it’s me Emily.

D: Εμιλύ μου, τι κάνεις; / Emily, how are you?

E: Όλα καλά. Εσύ πως είσαι; / Everything good, how are you?

D: Καλά… δηλαδή είμαι πολύ στεναχωρημένη. / Good.. I mean I am a little sad.

E: Γιατί αγάπη μου τι έγινε; / Why my love what happened?

D: Ε Δεν μπορώ άλλο. Κάθε μέρα κάνω τα ίδια πράγματα. Σηκώνομαι πολύ νωρίς. Ξυπνάω τον Αλέξη και το παιδί. Ετοιμάζω το πρωινό, ντύνω το παιδί, το πάω στο σχολείο, πάω στη δουλειά μου, γυρίζω αργά το μεσημέρι και μαγειρεύω. Μετά ξανά έξω, πάω το παιδί στα αγγλικά ή στην πισίνα ή στο ωδείο. Το φέρνω ξανά στο σπίτι, έρχεται και ο Αλέξης, τρώμε όλοι μαζί και κάθε μέρα τα ίδια. Τώρα ο Αλέξης βλέπει τηλεόραση και ο μικρός λέει οτι διαβάζει αλλά εγώ νομίζω ότι παίζει στον υπολογιστή. Νομίζω χρειάζομαι χρόνο για μένα… χρειάζομαι διασκέδαση. / I can’t do this anymore. Everyday I do the same things. I get up early. I wake up Alexis and the kid. I prepare breakfast, I dress up the kid, I take him to school, I go to work,I get back late in the afternoon and I cook. Then I take the kid to English class or to the pool or the the music school. I bring him back home, Alexis comes hom too, we eat all together and everyday the same. Now Alexis is watching TV and the little one says that he is studying but I think that he is playing on his computer. I think I need some me time, I need to have fun.

E: Σε καταλαβαίνω Δανάη μου. Τι λες πάμε σινεμά αύριο; / I understand Danai. What do you think, shall we go to the movies?

D: Βεβαίως! Τι ωραία! Αχ, αύριο δεν μπορώ θα πάμε με τον άντρα μου στο σπίτι του διευθυντή του για φαγητό. / Of course, how nice! Ah, tomorrow I can’t, we will go wit hmy husband to his boss’ house for dinner.

E: Μεθαύριο; /What about the day after tomorrow.

D: Μεθαύριο ευχαρίστως! Α όχι μεθαύριο δεν μπορώ, θα πάω με μία φίλη μου σε μία έκθεση φωτογραφίας. / The day after tomorrow of course! Oh nooo the day after tomorrow I can’t, I will go to a photography gallery with a friend. 

E: Τέλος πάντων! Την παρασκευή; / Anyways, Friday???

D: Ε τώρα… ξέρεις. Κάθε παρασκευή βράδυ βγαίνω με τον Αλέξη για βραδινό. Ίσως το σαββατοκύριακο… ΑΧ όχι θα πάμε εκδρομή στον Παρνασσό. / Umm, you know.. Every Friday we go out to dinner with Alexis. Maybe on the weekend!

E: Δανάη μου, όταν έχεις χρόνο, μου τηλεφωνείς και βγαίνουμε! / Danai, when you have time just call me and we will meet.

D: Αχ μπράβο είσαι η πιο καλή φίλη του κόσμου! / Bravo! You are the best friend in the world
