"Under what conditions?" "Which conditions, Ma'am?" "Is it better growing up here with both parents, or growing up over there with no father?" "That's exactly why I want him to come with us." "I'm not in a situation that I could come." "How many times do I have to repeat this?" "Did I need to say again?" "So he doesn't have the conditions." "What will happen to me now?" "Nothing."

"By the time you showed up, I was either gone or about to go to work." "And when I returned, she was always like this, with the chador on." "How could anyone figure out she was pregnant?" "He could claim not to have known from your physical apperance." "Plus, I never even imagined a pregnant women would do such a work." "Judge, I spoke about my pregnancy in front of him, his doaugher and her teacher." " I swear they all heard." " When?" "I don't remember." " Of course you wouldn't remember..." " Who says this is about my knowledge of this anyway?" "Of course it is." "If they can prove that you knew she was prenant  The court will give you 1 to 3 years in jail." " So?" " What?"

"I should really be complaining from her for why she would go work for this guy without my knowledge." "When you go to work in a single man's house, and you don't even know who he is..." "I wanted to help with the bills." "Judge, he's been umemployed for a couple fo months." "In any case, the teacher has to come as a witness." "Either call her yourself or give us the contacts..." "Judge, I am here today just for one thing." "I lost my kid, but I didn't get as disheartened ..." "As when this guy accused me of stealing." "We're thieves?" " Please sit down." "If we were thieves, would we come clean your father's ass?" " Do you have proof that she's stolen?" " Sir, I didn't say she stole."

"I told her to get out of the house, but she wouldn't get out." "Where was I suppose to go?" "This guy accused me of theft."

"What can I say?" "What do you mean?" "If the complaint goes though, they'll have a ruling against you." " Where's Somayeh?" " There." "You go, I'll bring her." "Lets go." "Yes?" "He was asleep." "I locked the door so he wouldn't get out." "This guy himself locked the door these couple of days, and left the key for me." "I saw that he was doing it himself..." "He says you tied him to the bed." "I was afraid if he woke up, He'd get out of the bed and do something to himself." " Judge, I swear I did it cause I cared."

"Don't worry." "What is their issue?" "saying: 'my child, my child'?" "They say 'my child' as if it was their 18 year-old son who was stabbed to death." " Did you talk with them?"

"She said that she was pregnant." " So you didn't figure out based on her appearance?" " No." "Why are you lying, my sister?" "You are a woman." "You really can't tell from the apperance of someone if they are pregnant?" "Imagin I did figure out, What difference does it make to Mr. Lavasani?" "Judge, this woman is his daughter's teacher." "They've worked on their story together, I swear." " Why are you insulting this lady?" " No one was talking to you." "When did I even have the opportunity to get my story staight with her?" "I was arrested here last night." "It's not very complicated." "Right now as I speak to you ..." "That guy over there, even if he didn't want to, could hear us, am I correct?" "Ma'am, I didn't hear." "My mind was distracted with my own issues and problems." "Why would I listen to your private conversation?" " Do I have to swear on anything?" " As if you believe in God!" "No, God is just for you people." "Please, open that window." "Judge, he is an honorable man." "I've been going to his house to teach his daughter for a year." "He'd never do such things."

"They wanted to know if your dad knew Somayeh's mom was pregnant or not." "We're really sorry for your trouble." "Sure, no problem." "I haven't done anyting." "Honey, what happend to your mom?" " She had a stomach ache." " Why?" "Did your father have a fight with her?" "Why would they fight?" "Maybe saying: why didn't you tell me that you were working at someone's house?" " Did he hit her?" " My parents don't fight." "Then, why the day that you were drawing, your parents were fighting?" " You showed it to me yourself." " They don't fight anymore." "They haven't fought anymore?" "Are you sure?" "Yesterday he said 'I didn't know she was pregnant'..." "Today he's saying 'I didn't even push her'." "And you just stand there quietly and look at me." "Honestly, didn't you push me?" "Seriously..." " Haven't I already said it..." " Listen, Sir ..." "Stop the 'I didn't push her but I got her out of the house' montra..."

"You just answer one question." " OK." " Judge, I want to ask him..." " Just go ahead and ask me directly..." "If you havn't done anything wrong.." "then why did you run to the hospital to see what happened to my wife?" " I came as a gesture of kindness." "Where was your kindness when you were hitting her?" "Was anybody else there when you had the fight?" " Yeah, the neighbors were there." " Ok, I'll send someone for investigation." "Judge, they too, will be like the teacher." "They're all toghether." "Judge, he's been insulting from the very beginning." "Am I lying?" " I'll be one saying who is telling the truth and who is lying." "You be quite!" "Sir, his wife that he's trying to get a divorce from has brought the bail." "My God!" "Ma'am, do you have someone that'll be your guarantor?" "What do you mean?" "Like a civil servant, a business owner..." " No one." "And my husband is unemployed." " Why do we need a guarantor?" " You have to have a guarantor." "She's now been charged." " What is she charged with?" "According to his application for a complaint ..." "He has no right to." "She accepted that she tied his father to bed, locked the door and left." " I already explained ..." " Judge, her child died...." "Keep your voice down." "Aren't you ashamed?" "Are you a man?" " I said be quiet." "For God's sake, listen to us once." "He's distorting everything." "He's must have beaten up my wife that the kid was..." "What's more clear than this?" "Why are you being unjust towards us?" "Listen to me for once..."

"Go tell him to go find you a guarantor." "Quick." "God bless." "God bless you." "And don't leave the building." "No, I'll wait for him to return." " Hello Sir." "Will you tell her?" "She'll think now that she's brought me bail, I'm askig her to come back." "So let her think that way." "Dad ... please." "OK." "Promise me." "Why are you promising?" "Dad ..." "Yes?" "You didn't know Razieh was pregnant?" "No." " Why?" " Nothing." "Then why'd you ask?" "Last night mom said you knew." "Where was your mom to know whether I knew or not?" "She said that night in the hospital, when they said Razieh's baby had died   You didn't say anything." "You didn't ask whether she was pregnant." "You weren't surprised." "In these situations, people would ask:" "did she have a baby?" "As if you knew." "Your mom wants to make me look bad to you." "Will you tell her?" "I couldn't, dear." "Didn't you promise?" "I'm sorry." " Which stair was she on?" " That one." " This?" " This stair." "Can you take granpa in?" "I'll be right in." " Are you mad at me?" " No." "Did you go upstairs?" "Yeah, I went to Mrs. Kalani's." "For what?" "I told her that they'll be coming in for investigation tomotrow." "So she should be careful." "Careful for what?" "Just be careful that they're coming in for investigation." "That's it." "Is that a problem?" "If she's suppose to tell the truth, why should she be careful?" " Termeh ..." " Yes?" "Come with me." " I have homeworl." " Leave the homework." "Come with me..." "Come, assume you're that women." "See." "Is that right?" "When someone gets thrown, they'll hit somewhere like this." "It won't be like this, then hit here, then come here, and spin around and hit here and fall here." "Right?" "If I had thrown her  she would have either fallen on those stairs   Or would have hit this directly." "You can't fall down here." "Assume that you got thrown, try it out." " Then how did she fall over there?" " I don't know." "I'm just saying she wasn't thrown into these staires." "That's it." "You come here..." " Then why don't you just tell them these things?" " Never mind them." "I want you to know." "Go on." " He threw in this direction?" " No, right down the staires." "Look yourself!" "This door wouldn't even allow me." "I couldn't even if I wanted to." "It's not possible." "Where did you fall?" " On top of these stairs." " Which one?" "I think that one." "Do you think or are you sure?" "I'm not sure." "Ma'am, Did you find her right here?" "I didn't see her getting thrown." "When I arrived, she was on that stair." "Why don't you tell them anything?" "Go show them how he threw you." "I was so sick, I swear I didn't even know what happened." "Look, I'll stand right here." "Sir, please stand right here, push me with all your force." "I'm saying it's impossible to fall there." "Of course you won't fall." "She's was a pregnant woman; she'd fall if you had just touched her." "Then you come." "Choose anybody you want to push you." "I'm saying it's not possible." "If you push from here, You won't fall on that stair." "Which stair?" "She's saying herself it's this stair." "Sir, everyone is saying they saw her on that stair." "Ma'am, did you see her getting thrown?" "Yes." "From above there, I couldn't see the house door, but I could see the stairs that she fell on." "Can you show me where you were seeing this?" "Maybe she got dizzy and fell." "How often did you use these stairs?" "Why hadn't she gotten dizzy before?" "Excuse me, Sir." "That morning when I saw her in the stairs ..." "I asked her why there was trash on the stairs," "She said she had gotten dizzy and dropped the trash bag." "Is that not correct, Ma'am?" " My kid took the trash." " You said you had gotten dizzy." "Ms. Kalani, Didn't she wash the stairs that day?" "They would have been wet." "She might have slipped and fell on the ground." "You asshole pushed her that she slipped." "Be respectful!" "I'm not saying anything in front of your familty." " You shouldn't be saying anything, you bastard!" " Sir, no cursing!" "Take him outside." "This neighbors lives with them." "She won't say anything that's bad for him" "You can go file a complaint if you have a reason to think they are lying" "So do you're saying they are telling the truth?" "F@*k me that I've spent all my time here today." "Excuse me." "Could you give my kid's bag back?" "Here you go." "Come on." "Don't you want your coloring book?" "Honey, don't you be sad if I'm fighting with your parents." "Here, let me put it into your bag." " My mom didn't take money." " I know." "And I wasn't fighting because of that, anyway." "Then what was it for?" "I too get sad to see when she leaves my dad." "Well, she had gone to a doctor." "Go on, honey." "Careful of the stairs." "According to Court's request, I'll examined him and write whatever I see." "Doctor, You can see that he no longer speaks." "Didn't you say he has Alzheimer's disease?" "Yes, but before this incident he spoke a little bit." "This is a doctor's office." "Not a court." "Go prove that there." " Does he have any bruises?" " Yes, a little bit." "What happened?" "I'm not sure the bruises are from the fall from the bed." "Don't run." "Slow." "Mom, open the window." "There's been a fight." "This is a girls' school." "Can't you see?" "I just have a question from this lady." "You can't sit here." "If you want to fight, go get the police." "I don't want to fight, Ma'am." "I just want to talk to her." "I have nothing to say to you, Sir." "I don't know either you nor that women's husband." " Then why did you lie in court?" " What lies?" " She knows which lie." " Ms. Safaei, call the police." " Don't scare me from the police." " You're fighting someone else, what does she have to do with it?" "Then why does she try to talk to my daughter?" "What did I have anything to do with your daughter?" "You're a teacher in this country." "Aren't you ashamed...?" "Why did you tell her 'your dad hit your mom and killed the baby'?" "When did I ever say that?" "Aren't you ashamed to be basing all this on a 4 year old child's drawings?" "Is that a reason?" "I didn't say such a thing, Sir." "Why is that when you look at us, you think we are beating our wives like animals all day?" "I swear on this Quran, we're human beings like you, too." " Come on and go." " Sir!" "Ma'am, I have nothing to lose in life." "Tell your husband to not do something that'll get both us in big trouble." " Ok sir, go on." "Ma'am, I'll be waiting outside..." " Good god Sir, go on." "I am unemployed so I can wait there all day." "You'll eventually come out." "Either you come to court and say you lied or I'll look into what's going on between you and her husband." "Be shamefull." "What are you talking about?" "I've tried not to say anything so far ..." " Then why are you protecting him?" " They call from the court, they asked a couple of questions and I told the truth." " You told the truth?" " Yes!" "Here is a Qur'an." "Put your hand and swear on it." "Sir, why the swearing?" "What does it have anything to do with her?" "It's ok, I'm not afraid." "What do I need to say?" "You said her husband didn't know my wife was pregnant." "Is that right?" " Yes." " Then say that." "I swear to this Qur'an, that the day I was in their house   her husband didn't hear our converation." "He was in the kitchen." "Is that OK?" "Or is there something else I need to say?" "He's crazy." "Where are going now?" "Call your husband." "Don't go alone." "No, I don't want him to know about this." " I'm so sorry Mrs. Qahraei." "Why are you standing there?" "Hello?" "Hello, Mrs. Qahraei." "I left you a message before." "Could you pick up the phone please?" "This woman that came for nursing to our house," "Apperently got a gynecologists phone number from you." "I was wondering if you could give me that number." "So I could I call them to see if she did indeed go to see them." "And if she did, what her issue was." "I'd appreciate if you could call me back." "Thank you." "What do you want to do?" "What?" "You want this to continue?" "Fighting everyday?" "Why?" "What happend?" "Today, he went to her school and started yelling in front of everyone..." "What'd he say?" "Shouted in front of everyone:" ""His father killed my child"." "How will she be able to go back to that school anymore?" "Do you realize what you're doing?" "What am I doing?" " He's threatning." " The hell he is." "Termeh, go to your room." "What if tomorrow he killed your kid?" "What do you want me to do?" "Take everything and go abroad?" "The hell with abroad." "Why aren't you talking normally?" "I'm talking to you about Termeh." "What sort of situation is this that you're creating for her?" "Did I create this situation?" "I like how you can look me in the eye and say this?" "Who left the house?" "Who asked for a divorce?" " You said you can go whenever you want." " Yeah, I'll say it again." "Why'd you come back?" "I didn't come back." "I came to figure out my child's situation." "The situation is clear." " You have two options ..." " Don't you try to threaten me." "What threat?" "Either you will resolved the situation with this guy ..." " I'll know what to do with that." " Didn't you hit her?" "Didn't you throw her into the staires?" "Didn't her child die?" "Yeah!" "I killed her child!" "Then why are you being so stubborn?" "Pay the blood money, so it gets over with." " I won't be forced to pay." " What do you mean forced?" "Just put yourself into these misfortunate people's place for one sec." " Am I responsible for their misfortunes?" " They're child is dead!" "My father was also injured." "Go look, he can't even utter one word now." "How much did he talk before?" "Just those 4 words." "I was happy with just those 4 words." "You're comparing this to you killing their child?" " Where the hell were you to see I hit her?" " Then how did her child die?" " I don't know." "Just imagine for one sec that maybe the husband hit her..." "And now they're trying to accuse me." "You know what her child said the other day?" "She said, they had gone to the doctor." "What could have happened to her that she couldn't wait 2 hours." "Why did she have to lock this old man and leave?" "Inspection officer has said that the baby had died becuase of an impact." "Lets say an impact." "Who's to say I was responsible for this impact?" "I will not accept it until it's proven to me." "Ok, then let me take Termeh." "Shame on you." "Under these curcumstances, you've come here to put me under more pressure?" "I'm worried about her." "Your child wants to stay here and she has to be here to learn." "Learn what?" "Stubbornness and confrontation?" "No, to learn not be a coward like you." "Or not to get scared as soon as someone threatened her." "And he know who to come to threaten." "Why doesn't he come threaten me?" "Yes, I am a coward." "You know what your problem is?" "In your life, instead of staying and solving your issues   You've either ran away or you've surrendered." " Is that so?" "Just tell me why you want to leave this country?" "You're afraid to stay." "Excuse me, one week I was gone, and see what you've done in this house." "I couldn't?" "Then I'm responsible." "Let me take Termeh, Then you can do whatever you want." "Termeh, honey, You don't have to stay here." "Go wherever you're more comfortable." "Don't you want to come, still?" "They sell it for 2000 rial per killo." "If they use 270 killo every day, Write 270." "Ok, then how much is his revenue?" "Meaning how much will his profit be." "So, how would you solve this?" "Did you lie?" "What?" "Did you lie?" "About what?" "That you didn't know she was pregnant." "Why?" "You said you couldn't hear what Ms. Qahraei and Razieh were talking about." "Yeah." "Then how'd you know Ms. Qahraei gave her the doctor's phone number?" "She didn't say anyhting then." "Very well." "If you want to calculate the profit ..." "Yeah, I knew." "Your mother was telling the truth." "I could hear everything from the kitchen." "So why did you say that didn't know?" "Do you know what would have happned if I had said so?" "They would have taken me to prison form 1 to 3 years." "I just thought at that moment what would happen to you in that situation." "... With whom would you stay with." "So I said I didn't know." "If you knew, then why did you hit her?" "Look, I knew she was pregnant, but I didn't know at that moment." "I had forgotten." "I wasn't paying attention." "Then why don't you just tell them this stuff?" "Dear, the law doesn't care about this stuff." "They say you either knew or you didn't." "Look at me." "If you tell me to go tell them right now, I will." " Hello." " Hello dear." "Didn't I tell you not to come in front of the school?" "Ms. Qahraei!" "What do you want from her?" "Ms. Qahraei, wait one min ..." "If you just stop one second, I want to explain something to you." "That's all." "Please let me ..." "Why..." "Dad!" "Who's responsible for my child's safty right now?" "I can't do anything without a witness." "Now, what am I suppose to do if I don't have a witness?" "Should wait till he kills my child, then come to you?" " How can I know you're tellig the truth?" " Why would I lie?" "Would I bring my father and child here to lie to you?" " Is your daughter here right now?" " Yes, she's outside." "You can ask yourself." "I'm afraid to take her to school." "I'm afraid to leave my father at home." " Is the plaintiff here?" " I can't leave my dad at home alone..." " Are you done writing?" "Almost done Sir." " Quick." "So you didn't know that this man's wife is pregnant, right?" "No, I didn't know." "You didn't hear them when she was talking about it to you're kids teacher?" " No I didn't" "You didn't hear, huh?" "I'm saying if anybody wants to go arround threaten ..." "Then why did the teacher come and withdrew her statement?" "Saying you knew." " She came here saying I knew?" " Yes, she came yesterday." "Well, he's gone to the school and threatened her..." "Answer me:" "Did you hear her or not?" "I said no." "Then where did you know she had given her the phone number?" " My daughter told me." " What did she say?" "Just that she had gotten the number from her teacher." "Tell her to come inside." "Right now?" " Yes." "And you wait outside." "What question?" "What is he goning to ask?" "I don't know." "Give that to me." "So, what do you have to say?" "You haven't asked anythig yet." "Didn't your father tell you what I'm going to ask you?" " No." " Which grade are you in?" "Sixth." "And the day that lady came to talk about the phone number and the pregnancy  You were there?" "I wasn't there at that moment." "I had gone to get my books." "Then how'd you know that your teacher had given her the doctor's phone number?" "Cause she gave her the number later." "When she was leaving..." " In front of you?" " Yes." "Then why didn't you tell this to your dad earlier?" "What?" "That the lady had gotten the doctor's number from your teacher." "I didn't think it would be important to my father." "So then, did you tell your dad or did he hear himself?" "That she had gotten the number?" "I told him." " You told him?" " Yes." "OK." "You can go." " What crime have I commited?" " Nothing." "You're right." "Well, you're husband dosn't accept responsibility." "I can accepted that he's responsible, but in the end, what's suppose to happen?" "Go to court for one or two years, to maybe get the blood money in payments of, what," "Lets say 100,000 per month" " Why do you..." "Why do you think it's about the money that I'm going to court?" "When did I say such a thing?" "You think I'm a bum, I have nothing to do..." " No!" "And we don't understand anything?" " I never said such a thing." " Let's listen to what she has to say." "There is no other way." "Neither will your child come back," "Nor will they hang my husband." "And her husband didn't do it intentionally." "They're good people, I swear." "They're offering you a good solution." "Take the money and end it all." "You're unemployed, take it and use it for something you need." "Right now we can determine an amount, I'll get my husband to agree." "Now, he has to agree." "For God's sake, leave us alone." "Are you saying this based on anger?" " Look at yourself for a sec." " Don't let him go, Ali agha." "Wait a minute." "I wanna to talk to you." " Hello." " Hello." "Are you staying?" "Mom ..." "Let us have our talk." "Come, sit down." "I want to talk to you." "I can hear you." "Today I went to talk with her husband." "Sit down for one min." "I talked to him." "After a whole lot of trouble, I got him to agree to take 15 million instead of 40 million..." "With three 5 million checks." "Who let you promise him money?" " I can't keep being under stress about my child's safety." " No, you didn't understand me." "Even now that you had gotten late, I was dying." "I'm saying, why are you getting involved in this?" "I havn't come here to fight." "God, what do I have to do so she can understand me?" "Didn't you say you were responsible?" "Didn't you say I introduced her?" "... Didn't you say if I hadn't gone, none of this would have happened?" "But I tell him I'm willing to pay, that'd mean I've accpeted I'm responsible." "If you pay now, it means that I'm accepting responsiblity." " But he'll drop the case..." " You think he'll leave us alone?" " You think he'll leave us if you don't pay?" " Why would I pay blackmail?" "Think of it as my dowry." "I will get that money if I have to find it under a ..." "If I have to, I'll go beg, borrow to get that for you." "But I neither have nor will I pay unjust money." "You're child going through puberty." "She'd being tortured in this situation." "So you understand the sensitivity of the age of puberty?" "She wouldn't have stayed if she was being tortured." "Why do you think she's staying with you?" "You think she's chosen you?" "She's staying with you so we don't get seperated." "She knows I won't go anywhere without her." "She's being tortured, but she doesn't show it." "Call them right now, tell them my husband won't agree   until it's proven to him that he's responsible." "I'll sell my car." " I don't want you to sell your car for me." " It's not for you." "When your child is not imporatnt enought to you to pay 15 million..." "What the hell are you talking about?" "Who says it's about the money?" "I can't sit around til my child's safety is guaranteed." "Look at me, You have no right to do anything else." "Do you understand?" "Had I done nothing, You'd be in jail." "Go get your mom's house title back." "I don't want to be out with the bail you got me." "Get up, Termeh." "Get up, lets go." "Get up, I tell you." "Mother, please." " I don't want you to stay here for one more second." " No, mom, I won't let you." "If 15 million is more important to you than your child..." "I won't let you do this." "If his child is not important enough ..." "Mother, please listen, why are you doing this?" "You said you would stay." " The HELL I did!" "The HELL I did!" " Mom, please!" " Mom, please!" " I'll be waiting in the car." "It's ok dear, go there til the end of exams." "Grandma and grandpa will be there, too." "You'll be more comfortable." "Didn't you say this isn't serious?" "It got serious." "Termeh ..." "Honey ..." "I'll cry too if you cry." "Why don't you go pay these people so mom would come back?" "Whether your mom comes back has nothing to do with it." "Yes, it does." "She had come to stay." "Her stuff was in the back of the car, I saw myself." "If you think I'm responsible, Go tell your mom to come back." "We'll call and setup a time with these people to go pay them." "I have doubts." "Didn't he throw you?" "Yes." "Did something happen at home?" "No." "Even before it, my child didn't move." "Before he threw you?" "So the child had already died?" " I do not know." "Maybe." " What happened before?" "I'm not sure, but I had pains the previous night." " Have you had a miscarriage before?" " No." "I was hit by a car." "His dad had left to go outside." "So I went after him." "He was crossing the steert." "I ran to get him so he wouldn't get hit by a car, but a car hit me." "The pain began that night." "Does your husband know about this?" "Why don't you go talk about this in the court?" "My husband would kill himself if he found out I came here and said these things." "He's been waiting since yesterday, when he told about it to the lenders." "What does my husband have to do with this?" "Go look what's happend to our life." "It's my own fault." "Whe you called him yesterday about the money  I got really scared." "I called a few people." "They said if you have doubts, It'd be a great sin to take the money." "It has to be proven that my husband is innocent, so we wouldn't have to pay the money." "No please." "I beg you not to take these words outside here." "But your husband's not letting go." "I fear for my child." "I fear too if I take the money;" "Something might happen to my kid" "So now what can I do?" "Don't pay this money." "Don't." "Will your husband let it go?" "Give that to me." "Go bring some plates." "Don't worry." "Nothing will happen." "Whenever you withdrew your complaint, We'll give you these three checks right there." "God bless." "Hojjat, go bring a pen and paper, Write all these down." "I just wanted to say something before..." " Lets just end it." " I accepted, but..." " There's no need for..." "Sure, I just wanted to say something in the presence of my daughter and his wife." "Why isn't she coming?" "Thank you, Ma'am." "Could you call my daughter too, please." "Little girl, your father needs you." "Termeh, come sit here." "Excuse me." " No problem." "Look ..." "I wrote the checks and I'll give them to you." "No problem." "Done." "I had a favor to ask, though." "Ma'am, you're a religious woman." "Please swear on a Quran that I was the casue of your miscarriage." "Please bring a Quran." "Go bring it yourself." "Come back soon, or they'll get suspicious." "Lenders are here for the money." "Don't make us look bad, I beg you." "I won't swear." "Didn't you say the car hit you when you went after his father?" " Why aren't you coming?" " She's afraid to swear." " What do you mean?" " I..." "I have doubts." "Oh God ..." "Azam, you go be with them." "Why are you saying this now?" "I swear I told Azam." "Tell me exactly what happened." "The day before it, a car hit me." "And I had a lot of pain that night." " Let's go, I'll take responsibility for the sin." " No." "It's a sin." "I asked." "What sin?" "He himself agreed to give." "Let's go." "I'm scared." "I swear to god, we'll become hapless." "More hapless than this?" "Look at my situation for one second." "Have mercy on me." "Have mercy to your child." "I'm afraid something would happen to our child." "Why are you doing this?" " Let's go." " I can not." " Let's go." " I can not." "I swear I can't." " Come on, I'm hapless, let's go." "Lady, why'd come you here tonight?" "Didn't I tell you not to come?" "Didn't I say we don't want this money?" "How can I live in this house anymore?" "Why did you do this to my life?" "Come on, honey." "Honey, Let's go." " Hello." " Hello." "Come on in." "So, what's the decision?" "Your parents have left the decision to you now that they are seperating." "Which do you prefer to live with?" "Your dad or your mom?" " Have you made your decision yet?" " Yes." " Yeah?" " Yes." " Have you made your decision, or not?" " Yes." "So what's it going to be, my dear?" "Do I have to say it now?" " If you havn't thought about it ..." " Yes, I have." " If you havn't thought about it yet..." " Yes, I've made my mind." "So?" "If it's too hard for you, do you want them to go outside?" "Can they?" "Sir, wait outside for a minute." "You too please, Ma'am." "Translation by:" "DHARMA EDASIA"
