Meantime in the present, back at the mainland, Bill was fishing at the port while thinking of what had happened between him and Rosie. He had to make a decision but his fears were confusing him. Suddenly, someone appeared from behind him: it was Harry!

HARRY – So, how's the fishing?

BILL (laughing) – See for yourself!

After getting hugged, Bill told to Harry the whole story.

BILL – And that's the whole story!

HARRY – Um, okay... and what are you going to do?

BILL – I have absolutely no clue.

HARRY (surprised) – Are you kidding me?

BILL – What? No!

HARRY – I really can't believe you're still debating with yourself! Can't you be spontaneous just once in your life? Listen, do you love Rosie?

BILL – Yes.

HARRY – Do you see yourself living with another woman for the rest of your life?

BILL – No.

HARRY – Then, she's the one! Unless you see yourself living with another man...

BILL (laughing) – No, no...

HARRY – Fine, anyway I don't see you with anyone else than Rosie. Go on Bill! Time to be spontaneous!

BILL – You're right, let's be spontaneous! I'm going to that island and I'll propose to Rosie!

HARRY – I couldn't have said it better myself.

BILL – Thank you Harry! Now let's get on this boat, we're going to Kalokairi!

Forthwith, they got on Bill's boat but they quickly discovered that the boat was running out of gas.

HARRY - You forgot to fill the boat?

BILL - I forgot to fill the boat...

Bill lost all his excitation.

HARRY – Don't worry, we can still catch a ferry to the island.

The 2 men ran to the principal dock but once they arrived, the last ferry had already left the port. Bill decided to talk with the border guard.

BILL – What?! No more ferries until tomorrow morning?!

BORDER GUARD – Yes sir, I'm sorry. You know, it's New Year's Eve and everybody's going to the big party at the Hotel Bella Donna on the island so there are no more ferries!

BILL (angry) – Yes, I know! This is why I wanted to go to the island! Oh god, for once I was decided to grasp the nettle and confess my love to Rosie. And Sophie... what is she gonna say? We'll never get there before the party...

HARRY – Well, maybe we can...

BILL – What do you mean?

Harry grabbed his phone in order to make a call.

BILL – Who are you calling?

HARRY – An old friend of mine, a very kind lady with golden hair. I think she may take us to the island in time.
