"Now, where are we?" "Life is just like soccer." "Soccer does demand personal skill, but basically it's a team game." "It's a game you play as a team." "Life's pretty much the same, right?" "Be as talented as you like, but without a good team you're gonna lose." "Right, you're sure to lose." ""Dear Miss Nurten," "I'm writing you this letter, thinking of your eyes which light up my nights." "You are my moonlight, yes, my moonlight." "I beg you to reply to these words which stem from the heartfelt passion" "I am no longer able to tame." "Don't leave my lonely heart in darkness any longer." "Leave your letter, as the sketch shows, in the hole under Uncle Halim's wall, across from Aunt Saziye's place." "Don't worry." "No one will notice." "I eagerly await your response." "An X marks the spot." "With love, now and always, Suat."" "Mistik!" "Over here!" "Move it!" "Come on!" "Right, over here." "Where have you been?" "Practice has already started." "I haven't sold all my bread rings yet." "My dad will be angry." " Excuses!" "Listen, I've got a job for you tonight, so stick around." "Okay?" " Okay." "Take this money." "Put it in your pocket." "You sit around on your butt all day, and when it's time for practice you feed me excuses: "I haven't sold all my bread rings." "I can't..."" "Now get moving." "Beat it, you bum!" "Cheers!" "Enjoy your meal!" "Will we win the title?" " I hope so!" "This transfer business is crucial." "If we want the championship we have to bring in outsiders." " That Serkan from Iznik is pretty good." "Have him come by tomorrow." " Congratulations." "The soccer season is starting soon." " It's not that simple." "Why?" "Do you know something we don't?" " Transfers aren't that easy." "It's my job to make things easy." " Things don't get done by talking big." "Hamdi, don't overstep the mark." " Nonsense." "Come on, Sait, let's go." "He only got to be the manager, because he's got money." "Be quiet!" "Who's that?" " Hamdi, the baker." "Chairman of Esnaf Spor." "Things done in anger come back to haunt you." "Let me think about it." "I have to make a call." "Say hello from me, too." "What's there to think about?" "No one else will give you this much." "Come on, you'll be a star." "Don't let the chance slip by." "It's not the money." "I have to think it over and talk to my dad." "Hey, Boncuk." "Let me talk to Hamdi." "He isn't here." "He went to Ülkü Spor's start of the season luncheon." "He went there with Sait, the teacher." "I don't know." "Call back when he's here." " I'm here." "Give it to me." "Hello." "Ziyattin?" "Sew up the deal with Serkan." "Some bastard's taken over Ülkü Spor, and they're after Serkan, too." "I understand." "We won't let him get away." "Send us some cash, will you?" "He's playing hard to get." "We'll take him to the spa." "We can convince him there." "Good night, Miss Nurten." " Good night, Mom." "Almost empty." "Don't you want a drink?" " No, I don't feel like it." "Why?" " If I wanted to I would." "Go on, have a glass." "What are you doing?" "Come on, have a drink." "I know you like to drink." " I don't want one." "Why are you acting this way?" "It isn't going to kill you." "Listen, there's this story..." " Okay, just no more stories." "Put some water in it." "If you want me to be quiet, I will." "I'll drink by myself." "Alright, I'll have a drink." "Come on." "What are you hanging around for?" "We're waiting for the new center forward." "Then wait." "You're always waiting for others." "Maybe they'll turn up." "You know, Haci's right." "He now has..." " Stand back." "They're here." "I didn't know it was that important." "Here, sir." "What's he saying?" "Take this inside." "I'll take care of it later." "Come on, stand back." "Welcome." " Thank you." "Welcome!" " We welcome you, Serkan." "And you, too, Yavuz." "Have a seat." "It's hot." " Like a drink?" "Something cold." "Let him catch his breath, Hamdi." " A week at the spa wasn't enough?" "We shouldn't sign before my father gets here." "Your father?" "But we're your family now." "We're not talking about marriage here." "It would offend him." "He'll be here soon." "The kid's right." "Let's wait." "Hamdi..." " What is it this time?" "Shouldn't he have a check-up first?" " What for?" "Haci didn't mention it." "You have other reasons..." "Nonsense." "I just want to make sure nothing goes wrong after all this." "Okay, it'll be good for the kid." "This is my father." "Welcome." " Hello, everyone." "Welcome." "Here you are." "How are you doing?" " Fine." "Who's that?" " His father." "It's a deal." "So, he's all yours." "Make a man of him." "Money's not important." "Hey, Niyazi, you got a nickname now." " What's that?" "Niyazi, Old Number 9." " Fuck off!" "Congratulations!" "Come here, gorgeous." "And so good-looking, too." "Come on." "So you're Haci's newest little star." "Not bad." " I guess I'm a bit nervous." "Take it easy." "We'll take care of it." " Just a second..." "Just don't let me see you here again." " You won't, sister." "Sorry." "Suck on my bottom lip." "Very good!" "Bravo!" "The jerseys smell moldy." " They stink." "This is embarrassing." "Why aren't you wearing your jerseys?" "The guys don't like their jerseys." "Mercimek, tell Hamdi to come here." "Okay." "Give them to me." "Boncuk, what happened to these?" " I don't know." "After the last match" "I washed them and put them back in the lockers." "Spread them out!" "Haci, what's going on?" " What d'you think?" "Look at the jerseys." "Great job!" "What else would one expect from Hamdi the baker." "How can you start the season without any jerseys?" " You stay outta this!" "You aren't the chairman." " This team concerns all of us." "If you'd have told me to, I'd have got new jerseys." "Serkan, my boy, I'm sorry." "We only have these jerseys, and the new season kicks off today." "Should we postpone the game?" " No way!" "By no means!" "The deputy governor's coming." "We'd look ridiculous." "You'll look ridiculous in those jerseys anyway." " Shut up, Toraman!" "You want me to shut up now, but when you need money you come begging." "Okay, gentlemen." "Off you go." "I want a word with the boys on my own." "Boncuk, shut the door!" "Just imagine the Brazilians had worn these jerseys." "What then?" "They look exactly the same." "Like the jerseys Pelé, Sokrates and Zico wore..." "What would you do then?" "But they aren't the same." " Yeah, I know." "These jerseys..." "These are the jerseys of Niyazi, Suat..." "They're yours!" "You wore them for a whole year, sweating and struggling..." "These jerseys belong to all of us." "Remember, captain?" "Some guy ripped your jersey last year!" "You chased him around the stadium, because you were so mad at him." "Here," "this is where it was torn!" "Ajersey isn't worth anything if you don't fight for it." "You guys sweated in these jerseys." "It's your smell." "Your bodies and your souls have left these jerseys like this." "Sure, they're worn out, but your souls are inside." "It isn't the jerseys." "They just make us look ridiculous." "Ridiculous?" "These jerseys are our pride and joy." "We'd die for them!" "Anyway, it's time for us to start playing!" "Serkan, what's wrong?" " I was thinking about what you said." "I just wish it had been my sweat on the jerseys." " Exactly!" "My sweat's on that jersey." "I promise you guys" "I'll personally get you new jerseys, sweat suits and shoes from the best sport shop in town within the next week." "Let me say this to Manager Hamdi." " Hey, watch out..." "He should resign immediately after a scandal like that." "And now?" "Attention!" "Three cheers for Turkish sports..." " Hip, hip, hurray!" "It's your fault we're late." "It's already started." "Who cares." "It lasts long." "Hi, girls." " How are you doing?" "Come on in." "When did it start?" " Just now." "I wonder what'll happen now." "What could happen anyway?" "Who are they playing?" "Akyazi, but our team's going to win." " How do you know?" "My brother Suat said we win all the opening matches." "If he said so, it's true." " Who's the new guy?" "The big guy, number 9." "Which one?" "What are you doing?" "Not bad looking." "Where's he from?" "From Iznik, I think." "How do you know?" "I just do." "Suat's gotten so skinny." "Doesn't he eat anything?" " Sure, he does." "Like a pig." ""Moonlight." "Your eyes are flowers in my heart." "Your eyes, the flowers" "of my heart."" "Hello." " Hello, Mr. Hamdi!" "You've brought the rent?" "No, I'm afraid not." "That's okay." "It can wait." "Don't worry." "It won't take long." "Goodbye." "Everything's closed." "Haci!" "Haci, get up!" "You have to go!" "I'm so tired." "Can't I stay here?" "That's impossible." "Get dressed, and don't leave anything behind." "Why are you like this?" "Who are you expecting?" " No one you know." "One of the team members?" " Maybe." "What do you care?" "Come on, leave." "I'm not leaving." " Make sure no one sees you." "Why not?" "It wouldn't bother me." "Everyone can see everyone else." "Haci!" "Don't worry." "I won't make trouble for you, if someone sees me here." "I gave the letter to Boncuk." "Where the hell did he put it?" "Is this it?" "Yes, it is." "Thank God." ""The Ministry of Sport has decided to financially support all regional teams which fulfill the above-mentioned criteria within the framework of the Federal Soccer Fund." "In order to promote professionalism, the banks listed below have agreed that the specified teams will be eligible for low-interest loans."" "What does that mean?" " That means:" "If your team goes professional, we give you cash and loans, but first you have to deposit a certain amount at the Central Bank and fulfill a number of conditions." "That means bureaucracy A grass playing field which complies with European standards." "Changing rooms." "And nearly all the players have to be professionals." "Mr. Sati?" " Yes." "You have a new gym teacher at school?" " What?" "Who?" "Haci asked about the new gym teacher." " I wanted to say..." "For practice, you need somebody who makes the guys work hard." "I can't do that anymore." "You need someone who understands soccer." "Don't worry." "He's a gym teacher." "Great, but we don't have any money." "We'll talk to him." "Maybe he'll accept." "Good idea." "We'll go to school." "Not necessary." "We'll catch him at home." " That'd be better." "No problem." "Are you leaving?" "We should talk about this letter." " Yes, tomorrow." "Turgay!" " Yes?" "See you." " See you, Haci." "Don't do this to me, Haci!" "Here you are!" "Sorry to disturb you on the weekend." "No problem." "Where are you from?" " From around here." "No, really?" "Why don't I know you?" " I've been away for a long time." "At school, job training." "I was abroad for a long time." "Where?" " In France, most recently." "I had a scholarship to get my PhD." "But then the government changed, and they summoned me back." "You coached in France?" " Yes, in St. Etienne." "Really?" "You never told us." " You never asked." "For the St. Etienne soccer team?" " Yes." "What luck!" "Then you're just the man we need." "Is it a deal?" " Sure, but what exactly should I do?" "So it's a deal." " Here's to good teamwork!" "I'll stand by your side." "Who cares!" "Everyone gets married and has kids in the end." "But you only get married once, for life." "That's true." "You can't just marry anyone." "God only gives you one chance." "It's fate." "What a beautiful quilt." "Ahmet!" " What?" "Uncle Hüseyin wants you to come at once." " Tell him I'm on my way." "Haci, my father wants to see me." " It must be important." "Go on." "Excuse me." "I'll go see what he wants." "Here, Mr. Hamdi." "No, not now, Haci." "I'm tired." "We'll talk later." "Are you throwing me out?" "No, but not right now." "I'm not in the mood." "If I go, I'll never come back." "Do whatever you like, but don't upset me." "What do you mean "upset you?"" "Haci, you're drunk." "Come back later." "Listen, Aynur." "Don't bullshit me." "I said if I go, I'll never come back." "And you'll never see me again." "Alright, if that's what you want." "It is." "Hello, gentlemen." " Hello." "Isn't Ahmet around?" " He'll be right here." "Don't take it the wrong way!" "Why not give the boys a good breakfast?" "They're playing today." "No meals before a match." " Oh yeah." "Sometimes you really talk crap." " Well, how should I know?" "Actually, you always do everything wrong." "Come on, guys, let's go." "Don't forget anything." "Got the players' IDs, Boncuk?" "I got 'em." "Good luck, boys." "I want to hear you crack skulls!" "Hey, Turgay, we aren't fighting a war." "Soccer is never just soccer." "You said so yourself." " Let's go, guys." "Ahmet's coming!" "I told you the game plan is no good." " It has nothing to do with that." "Exactly." "Don't you see the way they're playing?" "You call that a plan!" "Did you see number 8 whack that ball in?" "Suat just stood there." "Cut it out." "The coach is looking." " Welcome." "Welcome, Cetin." " Hi." "This is my doctor friend." " Hello." "We're giving the guys a check-up today, 'cause yesterday's match got me furious." "Why's that?" " We should have won." "Who's that?" "The gym teacher from the high school." " Haci's up to something again." "If you don't mind, I'll call a meeting." " Yes, of course." "Excuse me." " No problem." "Hello." " If it isn't Mr. Yavuz." "Welcome." " How are you doing?" "Have a seat." "Mr. Cem, Chairman of Ülkü Spor." "How do you do?" " Fine, thank you." "Mr. Yavuz is what you might call the Honorary Chairman of Esnaf Spor." "He recently got the team new uniforms." "I believe that's why you're here." " Partly." "Mr. Cem wants to make the players professionals." "What about you?" "We are working on it." " A nice tie." "From abroad?" "Yes, from Italy." "I paid a fortune for it." "You have an eye for these things." "The jacket's a gift from friends." "I wear it everyday." "Your tie's rather nice, too." "I forgot to ask." "What would you like to drink?" ""Moonlight!" "I know why" "you haven't answered me." "You're too shy."" "My shy little thing." "Oh God!" "Hamdi, I want the money for the windows!" "You're damn well paying!" "Don't go on!" "They're only windows!" " You know how much they cost?" "Is it possible the girl can't read or write?" "What's going on?" "I thought you were never coming back." "How much further, "De Gaulle?"" " Just a bit." "So is "De Gaulle" here as a favor, or because we're really good?" "Of course we're good." " You've gotta be kidding!" "What place are we in now?" " Seventh." "How many points between us and the leaders?" " Two." "This week we're playing Ülkü." "If they win, it'll be four." "What?" "You think Ülkü can beat us?" "That'll be the day!" "Did you get into a fight, brother?" " No, I'm worn out from practice." "Sister, bring me a glass of water, please." " Right away, brother." "Go to the shop tomorrow." "I have things to do." "What's Father saying, Mother?" "I have practice tomorrow." "I can't work." "Mother, say something." "I'm not going to the shop!" "You hear me?" "Quiet, or he'll hear you." "He's praying." "The whole team will be there." "They'll think I'm skipping practice." "I'm not going to the shop!" "And that's that!" "Hello, Saadet!" "Nice of you to come." "How's my aunt doing?" " Fine, thanks." "Come and sit down!" "How's it going, Suat?" "I watched you today." "You were really good." "You have a new coach?" " No, he's more like an assistant." "Saadet, will you make us some coffee?" "For Suat, too." "He's rather exhausted." "With pleasure." "I'm going out to meet friends." " I thought you were exhausted." "I'm okay now." "I'll see you later, Mother." " Hello, brother Suat!" " Don't call me "brother."" "I'd like to have a headscarf." " A headscarf!" "Let's go over there." "Hi, Suat." "Hi." "This one here." "Give it to me." "It's okay." "Have a nice day." " You, too." "Serkan, don't lean on the counter!" "You'll leave marks on the glass." "Where the hell have you been?" "Come here." "Okay." "You do what I tell you with the letters, don't you?" " Sure." "Then why's all this weird stuff going on?" " I don't know." "I'll stop taking them, if you like." " No, here." "Now listen, this is our secret." "Don't tell anyone, okay?" "Get moving." " I brought some seeds for your bird." " That's nice of you." "I have some cherry juice." "Like some?" " Yes." "I have some cookies for you, too." " Okay." "Transfers, transfers!" "All you talk about is transfers!" "Is that the guy you put your money on?" "You think I'm happy about him!" " We aren't either!" "What a disgrace!" "Suat as the goalkeeper, a gym teacher as the coach." "They're bound to fail." "Be careful what you say!" "Why?" "They were a disgrace on the field." " That's enough!" "You come here once a week and only if you don't have any guests, or if your wife allows you to come." "We work our butts off and pump loads of money into this." "What do you expect?" "That they play like Brazilians?" "What should we do?" "Disband the team?" "Let's all go home now, before any damage is done." "Come on, Hamdi." "I'll drive you home." "Don't get upset." "Maybe I should forget the whole thing." "I just can't hack it anymore." "Suat, are you in charge today?" " Yes, Aunt Makbule." "I'll be right back." "Alright, my boy." "She's talking to herself, crazy girl." "Hey, what do you want with all that?" " What do you care?" "It's my hair!" "Your hair, but my shampoo, dickhead!" "Fuck you and your shampoo!" "And don't ever call me dickhead again!" "What the hell!" "That's enough!" "Get outta here, you two!" "I never want to see him here again, that lazy bum!" "How could he just walk outta the shop?" "I inherited nothing from my father." "What are you gonna do when I die?" "Do you want to go out begging?" "Begging from door to door, you son of a bitch!" "Not so loud!" "He hurt himself!" " Don't get on my nerves, woman!" "Hurt himself?" "Am I to blame?" "They don't know a thing about God or mosques!" "They just chase a ball." "That's Haci's fault." "Is this a damn hotel?" "Go out in the morning, come back at night?" "He's pushing 40 and hasn't accomplished anything." "What are you gonna do when I'm dead?" "You'll run outta money fast, and you'll have to go begging." "Ayla!" "Yes, brother." "Find Mustafa for me." " Alright." "I hope this is the last letter, Miss Nurten." ""Moonlight, if my feverish body still hasn't convinced you of my sincere intentions," "if you still think my words are empty, I will prove it to you." "I will soon send my mother to ask if you'll marry me." "Go and find a wedding dress." "The slave of your eyes, Suat."" "Is Nurten there?" " In the bathroom." "Cute little bird." "I could rent a house nearby." "I can't let my wife live here." "She'd go crazy." "What's wrong with us?" "Our kids will be beautiful." "Blond, blue eyes..." "They could be dark-haired, too." "We'll open a boutique." "The drapery business is dead." "There's no money in it." "Times have changed." "Ayla?" " The whole neighborhood is buzzing." "They're going to propose to Nurten today." "What?" "I only just sent the letter." "You know, the new player." "They're exchanging rings today." "We're going to do some proposing, too." "Is it who I think it is?" " Yes, Saadet." "He's even talking about having kids." "Maybe we can do a double wedding." "Saadet?" "Who's talking about Saadet?" "Come here!" "Come here, you idiot!" "Penalty!" "Penalty!" " Did you steal my letters?" "You've ruined my life!" " Penalty!" "My life!" " Penalty!" "We've invested too much." "We can't afford to take any risks." "There aren't any risks." "We're relatively certain to win the championship." "It's time we talk about financing." "Just a minute!" "What do you mean by "relatively certain?"" "There's always a risk." "You can't keep an eye on all the teams." "We have to watch the top teams more carefully." " That's not what I meant." "It isn't important what team wins." "What matters is that you're the head of the winning team." "If you succeed, then your present team becomes your competitor." "You understand?" "That's how the business works." "Boncuk, is Suat here?" " No," "Mercimek looked everywhere for him." " Could he be at his sister's?" "No, his mother's looking for him, too." " Have you been to the bar?" "That's the first place we looked." "But we can't find him anywhere." "Brother?" " What's the matter?" "Suat beat up the idiot the other day, in the middle of the street!" "Maybe he offended Suat." "Come on, get back to work." "Will Mercimek manage all right?" "He has to." "I'm worried about Suat." "Where can he be?" "In order to go professional, one of the two teams has to win the championship." "My team has the best chance." " There is no mine and yours, Yavuz." "We're going to merge the two teams." "Then you can become the mayor." "You belong to the Party, don't you?" " Of course." "When the teams merge, what'll they be called?" "That's unimportant." "We'll think of something when it happens." "I have team supporters who take things like that seriously." "That's their problem." "We need spectators." "They can do whatever they want." "After all, it's basically their team." "Who's this woman that's been listening?" " She's okay." "What's her name?" " I know." "I mean her real name." "I really don't know." "I think she's Armenian." "At least, that's what everyone says." "I've never asked." "Now that you've mentioned it I'm curious." "What's your name?" " Aynur." "I know." "I mean your real name?" " Aynur." "Really." "Okay." "Hey, coach, where are you going?" " Go on!" "Do you enjoy torturing me?" "I'm trying to get over you, but you..." "Why did I ever follow you here?" "Last night Toraman came by with another man." "For the first time in my life I was scared." "His name was Cem." "Scared of what?" " Do you know him?" " He's Chairman of Ülkü Spor." "A dangerous character." " I'm going crazy." "Is that why you came here?" "In that case, you can leave again." "Some women are like silver." "They lose their shine when you don't polish them." "And you..." "You have to keep it going if you want to keep your shine." "I can't." "I can't go on like this." "Wait!" "There's something else." " What?" "Do you want to tell me what you did to Cem?" " What did I come here for?" "I'm sorry." " I only want to help you, but you're so stubborn." "You know why." "So what did you want to tell me?" "Suat came to see me after the two had left." "I wouldn't let him go away." "I was afraid he might do something to himself." "That was very good of you." "Thanks." "Is he still here?" " Yes, he's sleeping." "Would you like a drink?" " No, I've stopped drinking." "Hey, dickhead, how're you doing?" "It's you, Haci?" " Yes, it's me." "Why did this have to happen?" "I loved her so much." "I wrote her so many letters." "If she'd only answered one of them." "Why have I been punished?" " Listen, you may not have noticed, but I've gone through a lot." "I've learned to suffer and not to find pleasure in other people's suffering." "Lovers... whether real or imagined, they all leave their scars." "They are deep scars, like you have, and they never go away." "But believe me, there are going to be new ones, too." "Consider old people." "You think they've experienced everything." "But that's not true." "No matter how bad you suffer, never forget:" "Suffering never ends." "There will always be people who suffer and people who are made to suffer." "You belong to the second category." "But I really got scarred badly, Haci." "There's yellow and green shimmering under my scar." "Remember what you said looking at the plane trees turning yellow in the autumn next to the green of the pines?" "You said, "That's our team."" "This is our team." "Yes, our team." "The evergreen of the pines and the yellow plane trees." "That's life for you." "You stay green, or you turn yellow." "That's the way of the world." "No matter what, Serkan is your teammate." "And from now on, Nurten is a sister to you." "She doesn't exist for you." "Maybe she never did." "So, wipe away your tears." "You've done enough suffering." "You're right." "She is now my sister, and I'm the goalkeeper." "Goalkeeper Suat, the dickhead." "I missed hearing you talk." "I have nothing left to say to you." "You've made me speechless." "It was your mistake, Haci." "The idea of you and me was hopeless." "You just wouldn't understand." "I know." "I used to think that even when I was together with you." "That it would make me lose you." "And everytime I had that idea, I wanted to kill myself." "Lately I've had the same thought, but... who would I be losing?" "Why do I have such thoughts?" "I don't know." "Wait!" "Let's talk some more." "That's what I really miss." "Why can't you just say, "Haci, I miss you?"" "You always want to be the queen." "You're always beyond reach." "If you only knew what I miss!" "Sometimes I forget about it and think, "What's the difference?"" "It's my life." "A life without you." "You were never a part of my life." "So why are you doing this?" "You keep turning my head." "Won't that ever stop?" "Aren't five years of pain enough?" "I can't live with you, and I can't live without you." "That's the way I am." "I'm going." "There's no other way." "You have to be the chairman." "The baker will never agree to the merger." "Nobody wants me." "Besides, Hamdi knows the business." "It'll be good for everyone, but I can't go against Hamdi." "I like him even if we do fight all the time." " Then I'll do it." "Anyway, I'm still angry at him because of Serkan." "Okay." "Come on, you guys." "Make up." " Yes, make up." "Come on!" "Not like that." "You gotta hug." "Go to hell!" "Not with me!" "Find yourselves a new bus!" "You haven't even paid for the windows." " Hey, man." "If we said we'd pay..." "He's right." "We have to find a new solution." "This isn't going to work." "Would Hasan lend us his van?" " I forgot all about him." "Sure, he will." "Boncuk!" "Boncuk!" " Yes?" "I can fit six in my car." " Ask Hasan if he'll lend us his van." "Tell him we can't get the players to the match otherwise." "Hi, guys." "My uncle's gonna take us." "Are you sure he won't ditch us, too?" " I go to every match anyway." "But it's more fun going with you guys." " You know your windows are gonna get broken?" " I've already taken them out." "What?" "They'll hit us with the stones!" "That's enough, or we'll be late." "How can they put in a 40-year-old?" "He used to be a good player!" " Sure!" "He may be 40, but his dad's 75." "They busted the bakery." " What?" " What do you mean?" "Stay here." "We'll have a look." " Come on, let's go." "I asked the new owner for an extension until the end of the season." "What season?" " The regional league." "What's it got to do with the season?" "Hello, gentlemen." "What's the matter?" "Hold on, Suat." "This is official business." "Aren't you going to let me enter Hamdi's bakery?" "Let's go in!" " Just a moment, gentlemen!" "What's wrong, Hamdi?" " It's official." "How "official?"" " That's enough." "Get out!" "I don't want any trouble." "You're in for trouble, smarty pants!" "Just who's throwing who out?" "Stop it!" "The police are outside!" " Are you trying to threaten us?" "Suat, calm down!" "What's wrong, Hamdi?" " Bad news, Haci." "Mr. Cem bought Ismail's bakery." "They want me out immediately." "I asked them to wait until the end of the season." "But they got a demolition order." "I didn't pay the rent either." "Etc., etc." "The law requires immediate clearance." "Mr. Hamdi will be out of here as soon as possible." " The procedure is clear." "The owner is here." "The legal order requires immediate eviction." "I know you're only doing your job, but you have to give us some time." " I'm only... some time." "Otherwise you won't be able to do your work in peace." "Of course Mr. Cem is right." "After all, it's his property." "And you want to do your work in peace." "That's why we need some time." "This guy wouldn't try to screw us." "Hold this, will you." "Where did you get that idea?" " It wasn't my idea." "I got it from a friend." "He's a pretty smart guy." "He built it for me." "He can fix anything." "Shall we?" " Okay, men." "Let's get in." "Listen, nephew, make sure the windows don't get broken." "My God, Uncle!" "Don't you get it?" "I've explained it to you so often." "Alright, everything's okay." "Okay, boy." "Move it!" "Very nice!" "Very nice." "Into the middle!" "Right!" "Well done, Mutlu." "Keep it up!" "Who's the guy doing all the screaming?" " It really bugs our players." "Hey, pretty boy!" "This is no Sunday walk!" "Go after him!" "That's right!" "Very good!" "Don't give him a chance!" "Very good, kid!" "Well done, kid!" "Bravo!" "Mutlu, don't get too cocky!" "Come on, move your ass!" "One on one." "Very nice." "Sadik, don't fall asleep!" "Move it, Mehmet and Gürkan!" "Toraman, come on." "Let's go." " Are you nuts?" "I'm watching the match." "Come on!" "Boncuk, you're coming, aren't you?" "Listen..." "Turgay!" "What's wrong?" " Quick!" "We gotta get everybody together." "Come on, kid!" "Move it, Mehmet!" "Pass to Gürkan!" "Somebody ought to bash his head in, so he keeps quiet!" "Do it, Gürkan!" "You idiot!" "To hell with you, idiot!" "Who does he think he is?" "Calm down!" "Calm down!" "Come on, kid!" "Mümin!" "Come on, boy!" "Move it, kid!" "Go for the ball!" "Let 'em try." "Mehmet's all alone!" "Okay, guys." "Calm down!" "Wait!" "Wait!" "Go after the ball, will you!" "Okay, pull yourselves together." "Yeah, come on." "Move that ball forward!" "Bravo!" "Bravo!" "Yeah, kid!" "Mutlu, step on it!" "Pass to Recep!" "Hurry up, Murat!" "What did you do, you idiot?" "Shit!" "To hell with all of you!" "Come on, kid!" "Foul!" " That's good." "Now we got the ball!" "Onbasi, give it to Suat!" "To Suat!" "Hamdi, are you ready?" "Now!" "Don't leave the defensive zone." "Now show your stuff!" "Goal!" "Look, they're waiting for us." "Get 'em down!" "Excuse me, coach!" "Did you learn that in France?" " No, here." "It's already finished." "Come on, Mustafa!" "Thank you, my love." "Haci is coming." "Enjoy it." " Thanks." "Help me roll up the carpet." " Yeah, right away." "Hold on!" "Let's put this in, too." " Okay." "What happened?" "Did you get hurt?" " I always trip over that." "Come on, woman." "Can't you be on time for once?" " Did you turn off the gas?" "Did you unplug the iron?" "Then turn off the light!" "Mustafa, what's up?" "Aren't you coming?" " I'm waiting for Suat." " Come on!" "He's going straight there." " To the wedding?" "Welcome." " Just a little present." "Good evening to everyone." "Hello." " Come and sit over here, Suat." "Where have you been?" " I couldn't get here earlier." "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the wedding of Nurten Sayin and Serkan Celik." "Brother Suat... sister Nurten." "Nurten never received your letters." "They all fell through a crack." "Honest to God, I swear I had no idea." "It doesn't change a thing." "What's the difference?" "That's the way things go." "She doesn't exist anymore." "Maybe she never did." "I've forgotten her." "It's a thing of the past." "You forget the whole thing, too." "It never would have worked out." "What's keeping that boy?" "Ah, there he is!" "Hey, Onbasi!" "Take this bottle and give everyone a swig." "Don't forget Haci." "Is that how it's done?" " Sure." "This is a wedding, isn't it?" "Where is he?" " He was here a moment ago." "We'll find him." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Where have you been?" "I was looking for you." "Mr. Suat, you're in a very good mood tonight." " Yes." "And you're a great dancer, too." "Thank you." "I'm happy my friends are getting married." "It's a thing of the past." "But it's very nice to be dancing with you, too." "Do you mean that, or are you drunk?" " Of course I mean it." "I've always liked you." "You stop by our place so often." "I have to restrain myself." "Actually, you know, don't you?" "But let's change the subject." "How's your mother doing?" "Suat?" " Yes?" " Come along." "Where to?" " To Akgün's." "I'll take my mother and my sister home, and then I'll join you." " Okay." "Come on, Topal, you, too." "What's the matter?" "Haci collapsed." "Stand back." "I'm sure it isn't the alcohol." "Take the ladies home by taxi." "We don't want to ruin the wedding." "Why don't you get the car?" "Haci." "Gentlemen, you may go in." "Hold on, friends." "Don't say anything that could make him sad." "We'll just listen to him, and we won't stay long." " Yes." "But Suat wanted to get some flowers..." " I'm here." "How are you doing?" "Fine." "And how are your guys doing?" " Fine." "We're doing great." "De Gaulle is taking care of the team." "Everybody comes to practice now, so we don't have enough equipment." "Then I can die in peace." " No, we can't go on without you!" "We want to win the championship first." " He didn't mean it that way." "Haci, actually..." "I know," "I know what's waiting for me." "It makes me glad that I was able to do something for you." "Everyone should do something for someone else." "Do something for your mothers." "Or for your wives, your lovers." "And if that isn't possible, have kids and do something for them." "And if that isn't possible, do something for your neighbors." "Do something for everyone." "Do good deeds." "But do them for all these people." "Doing something for other people is so wonderful." "It's so wonderful." "No, don't talk like that." " Be quiet, Hamdi." "I just can't help it." "I know what he wants to say." "Go out and win the match." "We need the points." "We have a good team." "That's the stuff." "The match is already ours." "Serkan says we could sell the gold from the wedding for Haci." "Did you get that much?" " Not really." "We'll give as much as we can." "But we have so many debts." "We don't even have a washing machine." "Life is very expensive." "Can I see your ring?" "I want to see how it looks on me." "Sorry, I didn't mean to do that." " Don't worry." "I'll get it out." "See it shining?" "I'll get something to lift up the floorboards." "It's rotten anyway." "Yellow!" " Green!" " Yellow!" "Green!" " Yellow!" " Green!" "Esnaf!" "Esnaf!" "Don't worry." "You'll make it." "I don't believe it." " Why not?" "You're the De Gaulle of our neighborhood." "Watch out!" "Watch out!" "That was a foul!" "I don't believe it!" "Haci, Ülkü lost." "Yes, 2 to 1." "The match is over." "I mean the first half." "The pretty boy scored the goal." "Yes, we're doing fine." "I'll call you when the game's over, okay, Haci?" "Esnaf!" "Esnaf!" "Did you call him?" " Yes, he was jumping for joy." "Go on!" "We don't have much more time." " Okay, Coach." "Sit down, boys." "I would have been here earlier, but I wanted to wait for things to calm down." " It's always the same!" "At least, be honest this time." "You didn't come." " How are you doing?" "Very well." "I don't want to lose you." " You won't." "Will you marry me?" "No." "I hope this is the last assault." "It's true!" "They'd make a better team than us." "Hey, be careful." "Offside!" "I'm gonna stop him this time." "No, ref!" "Please don't!" "Penalty?" " No way it's a penalty!" "You can't do this to us!" "Please don't!" "Bravo!" "What'll we tell Haci now?" "We lost, get well and come back soon." "Nonsense!" "He's dying." " We'll tell him... that we won." "Exactly!" " Shut up, you loser!" "Okay, we'll call him." "And we'll act like we won." "Yes, right." "You got the number?" " Sure." "I just called him." "Did they lose, or did we?" " I don't get it either." "Esnaf!" "Haci, we won!" "1 to 0." "Yeah, we won." "You should have seen the guys." "Farewell, my moonlight." "The pretty boy scored the goal." "What?" "What?" "I can't hear you." "Be quiet, will you!" "I can't hear you, Miss." "What?" "What's the matter?" "Guys," "Suat, my boy." "I have bad news." " What?" "What do you mean?" "Haci... is dead." "What did you say?" "What do you mean?" "Haci is..." "That's terrible." "Now we really lost." "Forever." "We're out of it forever." "Is that what you call fair?" "Why him?" "Why?" "Is that what you call fair?" "We wanted to go to Akgün, Haci." "The deceased was in the army with Ilyas, the fitter." "There they played on the same team." "You can see Ilyas in the picture." "He was Chairman before me." "He never said anything about Haci, and we never asked." "Haci was very reserved." "He never talked about himself." "We couldn't find anything at his home, only these photographs." "What great friends we are." "We know nothing about him." "We know he came from Istanbul, but his family..." "That's how it goes." "Now he's dead." "I've got it." "The bars on the windows!" " What do you mean?" "Are you going mad?" "He had it made in Istanbul." "So he knew the welder." "The welder is the only guy we know that he knew." "Right." " Wait, Boncuk." "Take this key and get the invoice out of the cupboard." "I'll call him." "Wasn't Sükriye's family there?" "Sure." "The sister-in-law didn't want to go." "But Sükriye persuaded her." " Did they give them anything?" "Yes, two bracelets." "Go ahead." "I'll join you." " Okay." "Brother Suat." "Brother Suat." "How are you doing?" "Fine, and you?" "I'm fine, too." "Thank you." "My condolences." "Thank you, but life goes on." "Have a nice day, brother Suat." "Same to you, sister." "Aren't we gonna wait for the welder?" "We can't." "The funeral is beginning." "Now be quiet." "Brothers, the deceased" "was highly respected by all of us." "He was an excellent coach, and he did a lot for our young people." "Some parents resented him for dominating their sons." "But he tried to keep them away from things that could be a bad influence and to teach them what he believed in." "May God forgive him if he committed any sins." " Amen." "May God forgive all of our sins." "Brothers in Islam, what did you know about the deceased?" "He was a good man." " What?" " He was a good man." "If anyone has a claim against him, may he speak up or may he forgive him." "We forgive him." " Will you forgive him?" " We forgive him." "I forgive him." "Yes, they're all here." "Come here." "This is Haci's friend we've been waiting for." " Hello." "Hello." "Our condolences." " Thank you." "How did it happen?" " We were taken by surprise." "We were devastated." "As you can imagine." "Haci meant everything to us." "He was very ill." "But we didn't find out until after he had died." "Cancer." "He had stomach cancer." "He just suddenly died." "I don't know if you knew, but Haci was rather quiet." "We didn't know if he had any relatives." "But then Suat thought of you." "My condolences." " Did he have any relatives?" "Haci was my brother." "We are very sorry to hear that." "We didn't know." "We thought you were a friend." "Is he at the morgue?" " No, we..." "That would be a sin." "You see, it's a custom here to bury the dead immediately." "And that's what we did." "What do you mean?" " We buried him." " What?" "Shortly after noon prayers at the mosque..." "We buried him at the cemetery." " We should have waited for you, but what's so funny?" "Okay, but we're Armenians." "What?" "Haci, too?" " I told you he's my brother." "I don't believe it!" "We washed him." "He was circumcised." "He was born that way." "Haci!" "Born lucky." "So what happens now?" " Nothing." "He wouldn't have minded." "Let him rest in peace." "Haci talked about a bar here." "Let's go there and shoot the bull." "Then we'll stop by his grave." "My brother was a good man." "Let's go." "This way!" "Shouldn't we cancel the requiem?" "What for?" "We'll all end up under the earth one day." " True." "Hello." " Hello." "My condolences." " Mine, too." "I can't keep these." "I just can't." "Then give them to me." "I'll look after them." "Thanks." "If you need anything let me know." "Let me know, okay?" "Bye." "This is our last match." "If you win, we've got it made." "Then you'll know what it's like to be the champs." "Alright, but the jerseys..." " I told you, everything's okay." "Serkan says his foot is hurting him." "Hey, you walking jersey!" "Are you gonna play, Mustafa?" "Brother Suat promised I could play if I got a jersey." "Great, kid!" " Then sit down." " Here are the jerseys." "Those are the old ones!" " Yeah, the oldest jerseys." "They were washed, mended and darned." "The emblem and your numbers were sewn on here." "Put on these old jerseys." "We started the season in them, and we'll finish the season in them." " Come on." "Put them on." "Give me mine." "What's up, Serkan?" " I don't want to contradict you, but number 9 was reserved for Niyazi." "In the meantime people call him "Niyazi, the ex-number 9."" "Number 9 belongs to him." "I'll take number 13." "Right, Serkan." "Boncuk, run to the ref and give him the word:" "Serkan is starting, and Niyazi is on the bench." "And don't mess that up!" "Everybody, take one." "Coach?" " What's the matter now, Serkan?" "What if Niyazi started?" "What?" "Are we celebrating Niyazi's anniversary or playing the final?" "I got a cramp in my foot." " What the hell!" "Nothing's wrong." "Hurry up." "Yellow-green!" "Yellow-green!" "Esnaf!" "Esnaf!" "Until now you've always been able to keep from going under." "You haven't been relegated, but you've never won the championship." "How many times have we tied this year?" "Not once." " Exactly." "We've either won or lost." "We've even lost to our biggest rivals." "But we've never lost hope." "We knew that it wouldn't be easy and we'd have to fight to win." "It's a matter of life and death now." "For some of you, it might be the last match." "Who knows?" "We're just a step away from winning." "You think it's impossible without Haci?" "Right?" "But he's with you wherever you are." "The championship was his dream." "He went out and found Serkan." "He had to raise lots of money." "He brought me into the team." "He got everything we needed." "He said, "I don't want any ties." "Either we're gonna win, or we're gonna lose."" "We got everything we need." "Everybody's here." "You have your jerseys." "Your friends are waiting up in the bleachers..." "Last week we lied to him." "But today it's our last chance." "We have to keep our promise." "So let's do it." "Look straight ahead, kid." "De Gaulle, something's weird about Serkan." "Things like that can happen." "I saw it happen in France." "I don't know what you call it here." "There they call it something like "match stress."" "The responsibility is getting to him." "He thinks he can't let anyone down, neither the team nor the fans." "What does that have to do with it?" "Don't worry." "He'll get over it when the match starts." "It's starting!" "Let's hope for the best." "Calm down!" "Calm down!" "Take it easy!" "Come on, boy!" "Shoot!" "Damn it!" "Serkan, why didn't you shoot?" "You take the near corner!" "You take the far corner!" "Serkan, stay there!" "Watch out!" "I can't see the ball!" "I got it!" "Yavuz," "I hope they didn't bribe Serkan." "He's playing so strange." "Look, what's he doing?" "Why's he wearing number 13?" "That's his trick." "He wants to confuse the other team." "What should we do?" " You're right." "What's wrong with you, Serkan?" " What d'you mean?" "I'm doing my best." "Well, fuck you!" " Stop it, Suat!" "I've had enough!" "How stupid can you be!" "Why do you want to win anyway?" "Cem bought the team, and that's it." "To make you into professionals?" "Look at yourselves!" "You're old and gray." "Cem's gonna fire all of you." "And you, too, coach!" "There won't be anything left of you." "Even our colors will change." "It's the end of the team, the end of the neighborhood." "Don't you see?" "Thanks, Serkan." "Thanks." "But I don't think we're that dumb." "Everybody knows what's going on, but that's a thing of the past." "It's the end of us, too!" "This team wouldn't survive much longer anyway." "But once, just once, let's get a taste of the championship." "After that we can bury the team." "We have to do it for Haci." " No, we have to play for this child, for the joy in his eyes." "Sit down!" " They know what they have to do." "You'll manage!" "Don't you see?" "We scored a goal!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "5 months later" "Here, Niyazi!" "Do you really have to smoke?" " Hello, gentlemen." "Throw them out!" " Not them!" "Stay out of this, buddy!" " Play, will you!" "Why don't you play yourselves?" " Don't get so worked up!" "And you stay outta this!" "White-yellow!" "White-yellow!" "Hey, take it." " Let it roll." "Life is just like soccer." "It requires personal skill." "But that's a thing of the past." "It's also a team game." "Isn't life pretty much like that?" " Yeah." "Very good." "No matter how talented you are, you're worth shit, if you don't have a good team." "You're nothing." "Life is just like soccer." "Repeat it." "Life is just like soccer." "Four good passes mean a 90% chance of scoring." "Repeat." "Four good passes mean a 90% chance of scoring." "Well done!" "Very good!" "Let's keep on running." "Yes, that's the way it is." "Did you really play at St. Etienne?" "Yes." " Really?" "Wow!"
