    • Quotes
      • Mrs. Lake: Lieutenant, I expect you to move heavens and earth to find the criminal who made this outrage on a young kid... girl.
      • Lieutenant Ioannides: [muttering] With no suits.
      • Mrs. Lake: Girls, go get changed. Elaine, take your vest.
      • [addressing the lieutenant again]
      • Mrs. Lake: What do you mean by that, lieutenant?
      • Lieutenant Ioannides: Look at those girls of yours. All naked
      • [two words in Greek]
      • Lieutenant Ioannides: .
      • Mrs. Lake: Don't be so stupid, lieutenant. Your athletes... how do you want to have them dressed?
      • Lieutenant Ioannides: Mrs. Lake, you know about our culture? No court here would condemn a man for attacking a girl dressed like that.
      • Mrs. Lake: Very good and hypocritical. This country founded the Olympic games, and is so proud of it. Athletes in those days were completely naked. Did you know that, lieutenant? Naked, nude!... Without any clothes on.
      • Lieutenant Ioannides: But they were men, Mrs. Lake. Can't you see the difference?
