"Plus, you show them photos to prove you are a fag." "In yourdrag clothes?" "No baby, they have to show you being fucked up the ass." "Disgusting."

"It didn't work out and we got divorced..." "Feel this!" "This golden fabric is so nice." "My sistercalled last night." "Mom?" "They must have come for you again." "I'm going to turn myself in." "Don't be ridiculous!" "But this is no kind of life..." "I have to hide until it gets dark." "It's not only you." "Everybody's got issues with cops in this country..."

"School ends around this time." "It's been half an hour, my eyes were glued to the clock." "What's half an hour in Istanbul?" "What's this radio station again?" "Radio 'Holy Water'." "I am scared." "Istanbul is a dangerous place." "I know..." "You called me 26 times today!" "I can't wait to see you get out of this filthy place." "As if ourhometown were cleaner, look!" "Neverdeny yourroots."

"Finally, the nightmare is over." "They wouldn't even leave your corpse behind in Istanbul..." "Damn." "My hands stink of bleach." "C'mon I'll drop you off at school." "And where you off to?" " Misty, moisty, morning, full of birds..." " How on earth did you find me?" "Your beloved boss." "Fuck you, Cavit!" "Can?" "It's OKauntie, he's a friend..." "C'mon girl, I need to go shopping!"

"Why is he following you?" "Because here in Istanbul I have a different life." "Yo wimp, do you think I didn't spot you the other day, mamma's boy." "That's not fair." "How are you bro?" "Are you OK?" "Just want you to know that I took care of your money." "It's all settled." "Do you need anything further?" "Off course, he would come back... every time I enjoyed freedom." "Why would he do that?" "You should have gone to the police." "I was always different." "My mom is an angry woman." "Life was neverthe same." "When I moved to Istanbul for university... she hired Zindan." "Even so, she destroys my clothes... if she doesn't like them." "Why can't you be honest and tell the truth to yourparents?"

"You can find so many jobs..." "I can send you money..." "How the hell can you?" "My aunt is having a hard time..." "What now?" "Because of the army, I haven't seen daylight for years." "You can go-go dance in the army..." "Cihan, go get some air." "Yourdaughterwill come back as a man from the army." "Save it for your hairy ass." "Excuse me?" "Cihan, come on, son." "Sorry, dear." "How did this army thing came up?" "Look what the military did to yourbrother..." "Yourfather..." "I don't want to loose you either." "I'm doing this for all of us, mom." "Hi!" "No, thanks." "Are you also the pride of yourparents?" "Just like me, you're not sure." "My fatherwas a soldier, I always wanted to be like him." "He used to say:" ""I am so proud of you, son"." "Attention!"

"Let me go." "Let go." "I wish we were easier kids." "I wouldn't exchange either of you forthe entire world." "Let the world see what a true son is." "Mom..." "Leave me." "Please excuse the drama." "Say hi to yourparents." "Mom, come here." "We leave and you stay here, OK?" "Promise to write!" "Promise me." "Call them to come back, right away." "Kezban, what are you angry for?" "Aren't you the one who had Ahmet followed?" "There is something fishy about the whole thing." "He said Ahmet is clean but I am sure he isn't..." "Call the girl to come back." "There is no point keeping herthere." "Mom." "Someone's at the door!" "Is Can Ozturk here?" "Hold on." "You asshole." "Amoustache?" "My lover likes it." "You ruined a good job for a fuck?" "Something could have happened to you." "You never called." "What's wrong with you?" "He is in deep shit." "You don't even know him." "His family doesn't accept him." "I can't leave him here."

"What's up?" "She won't stop." "She starts calling at 5am everyday." "I'm really sick of lying for you." "Is it worth it?" "What are you hiding?" "Whatever it is, just be brave and come out with it." "They delivered this yesterday." "Dad, I need to tell you something." "I passed the exam." "Good job." "God bless you son." "When do you think you'll be here?" "Dad, please." "I beg you, don't..." "We're going to introduce you to a nice girl." "Dad, what could I possibly do there?" "Apply for your military service, and come back to Urfa." "Yourpast, yourfuture, your destiny..." "It's all here..." "He doesn't care." "Why couldn't you ask about the police station?" "Why didn't you make him come back?" "I'll find a way." "He's got little left to finish." "While we eat shit there?" "You are bankrupt." "We're living in misery and he dishonors us." "You even sold yourgold teeth." "People are laughing at us." "We were taken to the police."

"You have no dignity, no honor." "Look at your honor..." "It's being trampled on." "You're an absolute disgrace." "It's my conscience that stops me." "Do you think I am not sad?" "Traditions matter more than ourconscience." "Go ahead, hide in the barn, cover your head." "I told you when he was a little boy to get rid of the Zenne then." "You paid no heed." "God forgive us forwhat we've done or are about to do." "I can not act until I have concrete proof." "We believe in the same God, Kezban." "He will whisperto me." "I wish you'd stay." "When mom gives orders, you have to obey..." "You are still in college, are they sick orwhat?" "Bankruptcy!" "He's broke." "They can't afford to support both of us." "I fucked up yourlife as well." "Never mind." "I'll pay forthat too." "You take care of yourself." "Murat, I need yourhelp." "I am pregnant..." "I want this child but not marriage." "If we get to the point..." "Sis?" "Yeah, we are all fine." "Can?" "No, that's not what I meant." "I was going to go to the army recruiting center... a German photographer was studying my art." "Are you a faggot?" "Did you apply foran exemption?" "Would you like coffee?" "I want to take you to Germany." "What would I do there?" "You'll stay with me." "My house big." "I'll do everything for you."
