"Or you want me to call for Karaibrahim?" "What do you want?" "Take this child away for this night!" "You are not used to what happening around?" "Come, I want to show you sth." "This gangway runs around the whole konak (turk. administrative building)" "It's only me and the aga, who knows about it." "This is the way you can escape from the konak." "You are a good man." "You may need it some when." "Now be silent." "This is the room of Karaibrahim." "Are you hearing anything?" "Not a single sound." "I was here a little while ago." "No sound came from this bitch Eliza." "She had to keep up appearances at least." "Listen, she is still stilent." "Bitch!" "You were the one seducing Goran and you are the reason for everything bad happening to us." "You slut!" "You shell die until tomorrow." "The pest shell lay you down!" "You shell kick the bucket!" "Puh!" "Snakes shell suck you eyes." "Your head shell be devoured by the street dogs!" "A scraper shell bury you eyes !" "Werewolves shell devour you !" "You slut!" "Street dogs shell tear you to pieces !" "The pest shell wash you ..." "Aah !" "You dirty slut!" "Gott may kill you!" "Stop!" "Leave her alone!" "Have you gone mad?" "It's me to blame." "I left he pathway behind." "It's my fault." "Leave her!" "Sevda !" "Go away!" "Father, what are you doing?" "Everybody went to the caves." "Why are still here?" "As long as there are people alive, this mill will roll!" "Who are those people?" "These are the ahchijis (turk. office holder) of Suleiman Aga." "From now on you are the only one who will take care of the aliments!" "Come on, get away!" "I don't want to see any stranger here anymore!" "You called for me, Aga!" "You took Manol's son!" "Yes, there are thinks I'm still not used to." "Don't get used to act on my name's behalf." "On the other this was a good step from you." "I need this boy later on." "You will take care of him!" "Aga !" "Where did you catch him ?" "He came alone!" "I wasn't yesterday on the wedding, Aga." "I came to my people." "As I saw you for the first time at the cemetery, I taught you were a coward." "Now I see you are a man of sense." "Did you come to help them?" "Yes Aga, as much as I can." "Where are you fur caps?" "Aga, Allah Himself is with you." "If he only puts the turban, everybody will follow him." "What if he refuses to?" "Its impossible." "You know how to make him change his faith." "I know." "What if he dies before he changes to the right faith?" "The worse." "He'll become a saint." "The Christians a only waiting for it." "For someone to become a saint, so that they follow him." "So, he is not allowed to die, before he changes to the right faith." "Go out!" "Faster!" "Go!" "What are you dawdling?" "Faster!" "Quicker!" "Move!" "Move!" "Faster!" "Faster!" "Water !" "Water!" "I want to drink!" "The 10 days are over!" "I gave you my word and I stood to it." "You had enough time to think over." "Here are your turbans." "Put on them and you will get Allah's blessing." "The herds will be yours again." "You'll go home." "No more agony." "You'll be masters !" "Aga, we said, what we had to say." "Nobody in this valley will change his faith!" "Nobody?" "Get her here." "Show them your face." "Repeat so that they here you !" "Allah is Great and Mohamed is his Prophet." "Say it, my daughter:" "Allah is Great and Mohamed is his Prophet." "Allah is Great and Mohamed is his Prophet!" "I thought, you will be the one leading the people." "But it turned out that you are led by a woman!" "Veil your face so that they don't dirty it with their glances." "I want to drink!" "I want to drink!" "First of all you will drink from the spring of the clean faith!" "Come on Papaz, you start!" "Show them what they are supposed to do." "Show it to them!" "You didn't get me, Aga." "I didn't come to change my faith, but to die with them!" "Gut!" "You!" "I can't, Aga." "You can't ?" "!" "I can't." "What if the others change their faith!" "I'll see then, Aga." "Let me be the last one." "Isn't it all the same Giaur (pejorative: infidel, Goi), who will be the first or the last one?" "It won't, Aga." "If I'm the last one, no one will be left to curse me after it." "And you, are you going to take the right faith?" "No Aga!" "You ?" "No Aga!" "I know that you won't take it." "Come on!" "Step out!" "You?" "The Pope is the first one!" "The Pope is the first one!" "These are going to die after him!" "I will kill everyday one of them, until you decline!" "On Friday I rest." "Then I ask you once again." "If you are still stubborn, you agony will be so great, that you are going to wait for the dead as a salvation." "You stepped out too rash." "You will be the last one!" "So that you see everybody dying who followed you!" "Aga, some Yuruks are outside and want to come in." "They can't come in right now." "They should wait!" "They are led by the Ishmael Bey himself." "Let them in!" "Where is Suleiman Aga?" "Why isn't he coming out to meet me?" "I'm here Bey!" "Welcome!" "Aga, me myself, Ishmael Bey, gave a word to this man, of a name Manol, for giving him a land for a village." "And he, had to gave me in exchange his 52 silver herd bells." "I'm here to get them back." "Ask him for the bells, Ishmael Bey." "Where are my bells?" "They are on a safe place." "I didn't know they belong to you." "I give them back to you." "The Bells!" "Where have you gave him land, Bey?" "Aga, let me ask you sth." "Why are these men staying here?" "I know every single man of them." "Nobody has ever stolen anything, nor has killed anyone." "They are standing against the Will of Allah!" "Remember Aga, the green water melon, can't be made sweet by force." "A green water melon, forcedly riped isn't sweet!" "Bey, I'm listening to you, and don't see any difference between you and these shepherds." "The door is behind your back and is bared easily." "I'm too old to be frightened!" "You bar the door, any my people bar the passes." "Farewell Manol Kehaja and you shepherds." "This is the will of Allah." "Don't forget Aga, Allah is seeing everything!" "Where are you going Hasan Hodza (turk. clergyman)?" "!" "Aga, one of those who are dying first, is his father." "You have the right of a last will." "I'll fulfill it before you die." "You shell have fond memories of me." "What do you want?" "Me?" "To milk a sheep." "You?" "To see my grandchild for the last time." "She must be here somewhere in the konak." "And you?" "I want to hear the bell for the last time, Aga," "You lucky, you saved your agony." "And you Papaz, what do you want?" "Nothing Aga." "Manol, they start tomorrow." "They start tomorrow with me." "Kill me." "Don't let them degrade me in front of all." "Father, if you decline tomorrow, I won't condemn you!" "Folks!" "It's a miracle!" "It's gone!" "The grave of Enichan Baba is empty." "It's gone!" "I wanted to burn the remains of him." "So that nothing was left." "I searched through everywhere." "There were no remains in the grave." "Folks, The Rhodopes have no conqueror!" "They deceived us!" "They've been deceiving us for 300 years!" "The mountain has no conqueror!" "Aga, the grave of Enichan Baba has been disgraced!" "By whom?" "I don't know, Aga!" "Come on!" "Wrazho Kehaja, stood it out!" "Don't look at the arms." "You're not going to do anything." "You've been having an occasion for so many years to kill me." "You're a weak person!" "Aga, there is an envoy from Odrin." "They're looking for Suleiman Aga." "Let them in!" "Aga, we're are bringing to you good news from the sultan." "Open it!" "They are yours!" "So ?" "Aga, we don't know what are they calling you for, but we are not allowed to come back without you." "It's not a good omen!" "Read!" "To the fairest among the orthodox judges, the first among the sacred dignitaries, the spring of virtue, wisdom and fair decisions for the whole people." "Stop it!" "What's written there ?" "!" "It's says, that you are honored with a purple robe, a white silk belt, and a gold honor necklace." "You are invited to go Odrin to get them." "What do you say about it?" "You have to go." "It's wearing the sultan's die." "Don't let it happen that my holy order is repeated." "i.e. think of the consequences if you don't come!" "Who will be invited twice for a reward?" "Get the luggage ready." "A man can't get away from his own fate!" "Aga, let us wait until tomorrow ?" "Why?" "Today my father will be killed!" "Will you put it on?" "Come on!" "Don't you know that you are not allowed to come in here w/o an invitation?" "What are these things for?" "I get ready the luggage of my husband." "You are preparing to much for him." "Why should it be too much?" "It's a long way." "Do you know anything?" "I know." "Why don't you go to Suleiman Aga and tell him?" "He's always treated you well." "Can't you think of it why not?" "Should I tell him not to go?" "Is this I had to tell him?" "They are so beautilful." "You are afraid of everybody and of everything." "Not of everything." "Only of this, which is threatening my life." "Write this also:" "Suleiman Aga donate to the people of Elindenja the land of the summer konak and the two herds there." "Don't you know that I don't want you in my rooms?" "Aga, I'm worried about you." "Don't worry." "The konak will remain yours." "Here!" "I'm on my way Manol." "In few hours Elindenja will stay behind me." "I want to get you out of here." "Only me?" "I can't all of you." "But for you I'll give it a try." "Save my sun, Aga." "This is my deepest request." "I can't." "Abdullah, the Venetian keeps him behind closed doors." "I didn't kill him then, because he was wearing yours cloth." "This was the right thing." "You son is on a safe place." "If there is any at all in the konak." "What about Eliza?" "She's by Karaibrahim." "I got to go Manol." "What's your decision?" "Farewell, Suleiman Aga." "Farewell, Manol Kehaja." "Aga, he let his people go." "They're armed and are going to flee." "Better flee then stay here in the konak!" "Aga, are you going to kill me?" "What?" "Are going to kill me?" "Why should I?" "I dont kill children." "I'm not a child." "Come on." "Nobody's going to kill you." "Go to bed now." "I heard you last night speaking sth." "To whom?" "You were talking to yourself but I didn't get anything." "It might have been in Italian." "What's this?" "This is my mother's language." "Is she alive?" "I don't know." "Where is Manol?" "Aga, why don't you take me?" "I had to be the first one." "Open it!" "I can't stand it anymore." "Decline my man, decline so that you avoid the agony!" "I don't change my faith, Hodza." "Start !" "Father !" "Mirtcho!" "Father !" "If you are thirsty, drink!" "What do you want from me, Aga?" "Why don't you kill me?" "To die every day until you decline." "At least you're a holy man." "You know, what's said: "Don't resist to the evil"" "It's said also, Aga:" ""There shell be no other God, then me." "You're gonna be tortued and killed because of me."" ""Many of you will give up, but those who stand out until the end, those will be redeemed!"" "You know the new testament." "Do you know some other books?" "I don't need any other books, Aga." "Those who are ignorant are blessed, Father." "Those are blessed." "You should have seen at least the Peter's cathedral in Rome or some of the other cathedrals." "You don't posses at least a single ordinary church, so that you have something to preserve." "We preserve our people!" "They will all be preserved, if they are all killed." "Don't you speak to me like this, because you're searching the redemption for yourself?" "Redemption?" "For what?" "By changing my religion, have I become another man?" "Better or worse?" "A man is more then his faith, Father." ""So like the man can't live w/o a face, so can't the soul live w/o faith!"" "Gut, as you're looking at me, tell me!" "Who am I?" "The one you see and you know about?" "or the one I know by myself?" "Both of them." "The bigger is the difference, the more frightful it is." "Karaibrahim sets you free." "He ordered me to free you." "Why am I here?" "So that I tell you, an order by Karaibrahim, that he hasn't done any bad things to me." "And if you want to be with me, you should decline." "These were his words." "Manol, I'm really untouched." "I swear!" "If he has ever tied to, I would have killed myself." "I believe you." "God didn't allow to become my wife." "This was His will." "But you won't be also my widow." "This is my wil." "You have to flee from here." "You go to Momchil and you will become his wife." "I want you having a boy from him." "His name must be Manol, if not my son, my grandson." "Its all my blood." "And the second duty is, to tell Momtchil that he kills Karaibrahim!" "Did you hear it, you tell Momtchil that he kills me." "You don't have to flee." "I set you free!" "Aga, aga!" "Have you freed the Pope and the girl?" "Yes!" "Come on, what are you staring at me !" "?" "Father, is this you?" "Its me." "Manol!" "Manol!" "Why are you here?" "I want to see you." "You don't have anything to want from me." "Go away!" "Whereto should I go?" "I put the veil because of you." "They told me, if I do this they won't kill you." "How could you believe this?" "I did Manol." "I believe in everything, which can rescue you." "Forgive me!" "Aga, this here, was baring herself in front of the Giaurs (turk. infidels )and was talking to them." "Why were you there?" "Don't you know that you have to veil your face?" "Don't you think that I put this because of your God?" "I put it, because you told me, you're not going to do any harm to them!" "You are not a man." "You are a beast." "A murderer." "This is what you are!" "You shell die in all the agony of those you killed." "Street dogs shell carry around you flesh!" "Why were you there?" "Don't you know that you have to veil your face?" "Don't you think that I put this because of your God?" "I put it, because you told me, you're not going to do any harm to them!" "You are not a man." "You are a beast." "A murderer." "This is what you are!" "You shell die in all the agony of those you killed." "Street dogs shell carry around you flesh!" "I got you!" "Don't you know that you are handsome?" "You can proceed with the baring." "You can get help by others ?" "!" "This woman made fun of Allah." "Give her to army around." "and tell them, that I give everybody a gold coin who sleeps with her." "Nein, Nein!" "Hurrah!" "What's on your mind, my son?" "Hey you, where're you going?" "The mistress ordered fish." "Where're you going?" "To the mistress" "Do you have a knife?" "No." "Come on!" "The mistress ordered me fish!" "Goran, I didn't order you fish." "It's not for you." "It's for Karaibrahim." "Lead me to him." "I can't do it, but I can show you where is his room." "The last room on this side." "Who let you here?" "Who are you?" "Goran." "Glaushko's son." "What are you waiting for?" "Should I bleed out?" "Aga !" "Did you catch him?" "He is dead Aga." "Who was he?" "I don't know." "Faster." "Help me!" "Who is he?" "I dont know him." "Do you know him?" "No Aga." "I can't recognize him." "Don't you know him either?" "No Aga." "I don't know him." "Goran." "My son." "Don't you listen to him." "He's gone mad." "Don't you listen to him!" "Manol, he is Manol." "Why do you hide his name?" "Let the people know, what he has done." "Let the mountain remember him." "He is Goran." "My son." "Take him!" "Aga, he is his father." "He recognize him!" "Strahin!" "My son!" "Did you recognize me?" "I recognized you, my son." "God didn't have mercy with me." "I had to wait for you." "Why are you here?" "Have you sent him to kill me?" "No, my son." "But if I knew, I wouldn't have stopped him." "Had he known it that I'm his brother?" "Where could he have known it from?" "Why did you burn him so?" "He burned himself." "So that nobody recognizes him and to preserve you." "Where is my mother?" "Your mother Strahin, was taken back by God." "She couldn't stand your absence." "The sadness had taken her life." "Aga, what's happening here?" "Didn't you hear?" "He is my father." "And the one who tried to kill me, was my brother." "Now get away all of you." "I want to be alone." "I can't anymore like this, Momtchill." "I can't leave our father alone." "Let me go in the konak." "I'll plead with him." "He's my brother, he may have mercy." "What kind of a brother can a janissary be?" "A beast." "He was your brother a long time ago." "If you go there, you won't go out anymore!" "He might be touched." "How did he know it, that I was his sister and he preserved me?" "Look for a whole month already he hasn't done any harm to our people there." "Le me go, Momtchil." "Since it happened so with Goran, my father has nobody but me." "My father, Ishmael Bey, is giving you back the herd bells." "These are the remains of Suleiman Aga." "During the day the sultan rewarded him with a purple robe, a white silk belt, and a gold honor necklace, and during the night in out tent entered two Dzelats (executioners) who put a strap around his neck and pulled each of them on one side until they strangled him." "The Aga was kneeling and was looking at me." "I was standing in front of him and didn't do anything." "Karaibrahim calumniated him." "If there has been only any strength in me, I'd have strangled him." "What's up?" "What's it all about?" "Allah shell bless you, Karaibrahim." "Allah's mercy shell be with you, Karahasan." "Mehmed pasha gives you his regards." "I'm bringing you 400 janissary, ready to do anything they are told to." "I've never asked for any help, Aga." "Anyway, you are still here, be my guest." "Iljuk bashi, take care of the solders." "Are you hearing what's happening outside." "They sent me help." "To me !" "?" "They've decided, I'm unable to cope with the situation, and that Karahasan is able." "On his way so far the people changed to the right faith." "And me?" "I stay here and wait !" "Me!" "Karaibrahim, the first!" "The favorite of the janissaries' Aga." "I don't do anything and wait!" "I wanted to preserve you." "To let less blood flowing." "You are my father." "You got to help me!" "How could I, my son?" "By dismissing the false faith!" "Someone has to be the first one." "Don't want me to this." "I can't." "But you could give me as a janissary." "Why didn't you give away Manol?" "Manol. wasn't my son." "How could I?" "A man can give away only his own son." "So it is." "So am I. And everyone alive will regret being such from now on." "Father!" "Bolukbasi (turk. captain), take this woman away!" "Brother !" "Brother, have mercy with him!" "Have mercy with him brother!" "You don't know how miserable he's been being since you are away." "Have mercy with him !" "Bolukbasi didn't you hear what I said?" "You are not a man." "A beast!" "Be cursed from now on!" "Aga, it's said in the Koran, even if the son is believing in the right faith, he may not kill his father, even if he is a infidel." "I don't kill him." "He dyes by himself." "Let him fall !" "My son !" "I don't believe my eyes that it's you." "What have they made out of you?" "They opened my eyes!" "And what did you see through them?" "I saw, that as there is one sun, there must be only one truth, one God." "So thah everybody's doing well." "For that reason you prepared the guillotine." "It was prepared by you." "I came with a stretched armed." "I wanted to give you the whole valley." "So that you experience power and strength." "I wanted to save you, to make you equal to the others." "To become people." "And you tried to kill me." "Didn't you understand, that I don't fear neither the wound, nor the dead." "Only the dead doesn't fear anything." "For that reason perhaps you don't fear anything." "Your roots are cut and you stand dried up." "The last root was cut by you, when my brother tried to stab at me." "Look!" "When I stroke above with the hand, I don't feel anything." "It's the same in my soul." "I don't have any brothers, any sisters, nor do I have people I belong to." "Nor anything." "Put on the turban if you don't want to turn Elindenja into a cemetery." "If you were in my shoes, would you have put it?" "And you, harder then a stone you are, if you were in my shoes, would you have had mercy with someone?" "Yes, with my father." "Gut, if you are so merciful, let us see if would have mercy with your son." "Take him away!" "Aga, set the boy free." "I beg you, Aga." "Throw away this fool." "Get started!" "A turban!" "A turban!" "Give me a turban!" "Release him!" "A turban!" "Repeat after me:" "Allah is Great and Mohamed is his Prophet." "Wait !" "I promised to you father, that everybody from his family will draw a cross and will spit on it." "Draw it!" "Spit on it!" "Spit on it!" "They killed my father." "They killed everybody." "And I drew a cross and spited on it." "After the decision to come here, we thought you need help." "Now I see, that I came here in vain." "You are here anyway." "Give me the boys to have a walk around the valley." "It'll be inappropriate if they'll go back with empty hands." "From here upside there is a village." "Burn." "Nobody should survive !" "Father, father!" "Come here fast!" "Faster !" "Look, did you see her." "She came out from this dark hole." "She's gone again." "Did you see her?" "Quite skinny." "With red eyes w/o and hair on the head." "I recognized her at once." "The pest!" "As we all reached this place, she stopped!" "She saw all of them and start crying." "She turned back and went away." "Father, why did the pest have mercy with us, and God didn't?" "Tell me Father?" "Father against what we sin, that God abondoned us?" "Tell us Father, doesn't God see what's happening?" "I don't know." "It seems that God doesn't take care of every single living being separately." "It's one's own responsibility to take care of oneself." "He is taking care of the most important things: of the existence of the sun, the water, the air,... of breeding life." "Listen, in a few days this child will die." "So will be she." "Nobody will escape alive from here." "And you know it." "Why do you lie to us?" "Why don't you get away?" "Everyone's got to take care of his own rescue." "Get away!" "Why are you the only one set free ?" "!" "Satan, Satan!" "He is not our Pope." "It's the Satan in the pope's visage." "God!" "Who are you?" "What is your real name?" "Isn't it all the same, if you are called Allah or Jesus." "Aren't you in the heart of every man, regardless of being a Moslem or a Christian ?" "Don't you take care of where the river flows in, and not where it flows?" "Haven't you seen enough agony on earth?" "Folks!" "Folks!" "Folks!" "Folks!" "Listen to me folks!" "Listen to me folks!" "I saw an omen." "God Himself told me:" "Go and change your faith !" "It's all the same if you call me Jesus or Allah." "More important is to stay alive." "Because the most precious I've given is life itself." "Those who are against life, are those against Me!" "He's lying!" "He's gone mad!" "He's lying!" "Don't you listen to him!" "Leave me alone!" "Get away, I'll kill him!" "Leave him alone." "He can kill me." "You may kill me Momtchil, but let the people go down, back to their villages." "The winter is coming." "Everybody here is going to die." "Father, don't dare to degrade the memories of my father!" "Honored shell be Manol and those who died and didn't change their faith." "But someone has to remain alive, to narrate about them and to honor them." "Look at this mountain, Momtchil." "This is a fortress." "To it's kern there are nine ramparts." "Only the first one is called faith." "But there is a 2nd one, common past." "A 3rd one, common language." "A 4th one, common land." "Honored are those who loose their lives by the first rampart, the faith." "They showed us how to defend the 2nd one, the 3rd one, and so on." "I speak to you for the last time as your Pope." "By changing our faith, we don't change core." "Come after me to stay alive and keep the Rhodopes Bulgarian." "Aga, they are coming!" "The people from the valley are coming to serve to Allah!" "Allah il Allah!" "Why are you coming Papaz?" "To serve to God!" "To which God?" "To Allah!" "Get started!" "Repeat after me:" "Allah is Great and Mohamed is his Prophet." "Allah is Great and Mohamed is his Prophet." "Come on!" "Next !" "Repeat after me:" "Allah is Great and Mohamed is his Prophet." "Allah is Great and Mohamed is his Prophet." "Next !" "Allah is Great and Mohamed is his Prophet." "Allah is Great and Mohamed is his Prophet." "Say:" "Allah is Great and Mohamed is his Prophet." "Say it!" "Say it my son!" "Say Allah is Great!" "I can't father!" "Under the guillotine!" "I did it for you my son." "For you my son." "My son, I did it for you!" "My son!" "Is there anyone else who wants to go under the guillotine ?" "!" "Go on !" "Why they are fleeing?" "We are supposed to belong together." "But not with you." "We don't belong together with you." "What do you still want from us?" "Momtchil!" "I fulfilled my assignment in Elindenja." "Only one thing left." "To catch him." "You go and find him." "How could I?" "I don't know where he resides." "You know it, Papaz." "You know it !" "Even if I would find him, he'd kill me seeing me like this." "Before he kills you, you tell him that I'm going back in 3 days." "If he doesn't come, I take Eliza with me." "She's awaiting a child." "If he's a boy, I'll make him a janissary." "What if I don't go, Aga?" "I rumble you Papaz." "You'll go." "I know, you will not allow that Momtchil's son returns one day as a janissary." "Karaibrahim is sending me to tell you, that in 3 days he's going away." "He is to take Eliza with him." "She's awaiting a child." "Is this true?" "It's true .." "Karaibrahim said, if it is a boy, he'll make out of him a janissary to come back one day to the valley and do the same to his father, as Karaibrahim did." "He also said, he'll only set Eliza free, if ..." "What does he want?" "You." "He said, if you don't go alone, the bag, your head is brought with, will be filled with gold." "You have to help to get to the konak." "You know with that wound I don't have so much time left." "Wait!" "Where're you going?" "Come back!" "I can't do it on my one." "You got to help me!" "Wait !" "Father, would you do it!" "I can't Momtchil." "I can't." "Father !" "Aga, the head of Momtchil." "It's being brought by his brother !" "You're lying to me, you dog!" "Tell me, you're lying." "It's true, Aga." "Eliza." "Bring Eliza, faster!" "She must see it!" "His brother, His brother!" "Get back, I want to see it!" "Are you seeing this." "His brother." "For a bag full of gold." "Get off the way, you dogs!" "He may come here." "Come here boy!" "Come here on the top!" "Bring it here!" "Father, it's time to say goodbye to you." "Live long for protecting me and taking care of me!" "You know, that we all liked you." "But since this is your decision." "I know it." "Exactly a year ago, I came for the first time in Elindenja." "Manol was alive, Momtchil was alive and Mirtcho too." "You all were together." "Now in one village a muezzin is singing, and in another the bells toll." "Nevertheless we are together again." "It's true, the mountain born two villages, but they are from the same mother." "So, why was all this about?" "Was it necessary that so many people die?" "Who was the right one?" "Those who died, or those who changed their God?" "I don't know." "100 years will pass away, 1000 maybe, until we know it." "But what are 1000 years for this mountain." "Why are the herd bells tolling?" "It's a boy." "A boy was born." "Eliza brought a son, Momtchil's son." "Take it." "It's yours." "I preserved it for you."
