Kyriakos Velopoulos: If my child was on the train, I don’t know what I would do to the minister. You happen to know my daughter, Mr. Minister. If it was my daughter on the train I would take the law into my own hands.
Theofilos Xanthopoulos: What you say is a shame. You are a party president…
Kyriakos Velopoulos: You will not give me hints. Have you lost a child? I lost my best friend in Tempe.
Theofilos Xanthopoulos: What you are doing is absolutely anti-institutional!

Theofilos Xanthopoulos: When you talk to me…
Kyriakos Velopoulos: I will talk to you as I want. Pick him up, Mr. Pappa. I would take the law into my own hands gentlemen. There are criminal responsibilities.
