" I left my cigarettes and my lighter at the table." " I'll get them, madam." "I can't smoke those, they make me cough." "To our meeting." "I've never seen such heat." "Even if they pay me millions, I won't come back here next summer." " Do you never talk at all?" " I can talk all right." "I realize you're a handsome one." "But you've no manners at all." "Tahsin." "Madam?" " I don't like this drink ?" ", bring some whisky." " Very well." "That's ok with you, isn't it, sweety?" "Will you be staying here long, sugar?" "Why do you ask?" "I was going to ask you to come again." "What are you doing during daytime?" "Coming right to the point, are you?" "I'm here each night." "Till 5 a.m." "Afterwards I sleep all day." "Towards evening we lie in the sun, on the hotel roof." "You've got a nice tan." " You probably don't like to talk about yourself?" " I don't." "Tahsin." " You want another drink?" " I do." " How about not drinking for once?" " Why?" "You've had enough." "I see." "Around the corner is an all-night café." "That should be more your style." "Nigar." "Don't be angry, Nigar, let's talk." " I've missed you a lot." " Get out of my way." "So this is what we've come to, bitch!" " I've spent a fortune on you, don't deny it." " Let go of my arm." " Wasn't it enough money?" "Answer me!" " Let go of me, you fool!" "Let go of me!" "I'll settle my accounts with that bitch!" "Don't move or I shoot." "How do you feel now, Miss Nigar?" "Leave her alone." "I'll beat the shit out of you, bastard." "Step back, don't touch her!" "Run along!" " What about his check?" " Here's his check." "Move on." "Give me back my gun." "Don't carry this, otherwise unpleasant things might happen to you." "There's nothing more evil in the world than a gun." "Girls, what rotten luck." "Tonight all the dirt got stuck on me." "What the hell ..." "But he was a handsome one, no coward and with a good pair of fists." "If only he were a bit more loaded with dough ..." " Some men are like this, others like that." " We just have to make do, kid." "Men aren't human beings!" "May they all rot in hell!" "Our men-hater is again going through her spiel." "Girl, all the men are crazy about you." "They burn heaps of money for you each night." " All you have to do is ..." " They disgust me." "I loathe them all." "Whenever I hear a man's voice, I want to vomit." "And whenever a man touches me, it's driving me mad." "In my dreams I even strangle them with my hands   I shoot down some of them, others I poison." "You´re just sick!" "Hating all men, and working in a nightclub at the same time." "But I chose that profession on purpose." "In order to break them, squeeze them, ruin them a bit more." "What about you?" "Your own life?" "I no longer have a life." "Hello everybody." "What´s new, my beauty?" " How are you, darling?" " Fine, thank God, my queen." "You faithless man, you´ve forgotten me." "Was it my fault?" "But now I´ve gotten rid of the cotton dealers and tenants ..." " My angel, let´s go." " Let´s go, little hubby." "You´re beginning to turn up here pretty often." "I´d like an advance payment." " How much?" " 1000 lira." " Very well." " What can I get you?" " I want some raký." " Very well, sir." "And I´d like Miss Nigar at my table too." "She can´t come, she´s busy." "I´ll wait." "She doesn´t want to, she says she won´t come." "Ask her once more." "Look Mister, I could call her again but why not ask for Ayfer." "And our Zehra is a sweet girl too." "I want Miss Nigar." " Bring me champagne." " Very well." " Two bottles." " Who are you?" " I welcome you at my table." "Does it suit me?" "Let´s go." "I´m 27." "My favourite food is spicy bulgur (pounded wheat) with meat and potatoes." "My favourite flower is the rose." "Is Nigar your real name?" "It isn´t." " What´s your real name?" " I´ve forgotten." "Who knows what you´ve lived through." "If I told you it´d be like some novel." "Tell me." "You're an obsessive, or what?" "I want you to talk to me." "Tell me whatever you like." "All I´m asking is, don´t keep silent." "We´ve already been talking till the early morning hours." "That is, only I have done the talking." "Isn´t it enough now?" "Till today, I´ve never talked to a woman before." "I´ve just been hearing my mother´s voice." "That is, only once a month." "Sometimes once every 2 months." "For 15 minutes." "Why?" "Why only your mother´s voice?" "Why only once a month for 15 minutes?" "The prison was far away from home, my mother couldn´t always make it." "What were you in for?" "I killed a man." "Has there never been a woman in your life?" "Last night when I met you, you held my hand." "She was my first woman." "Let´s go now." "This is all I wanted." "To hear your voice, to talk to you." "You´re not obliged to come." "I´m not coming because I feel obliged to." "Your life hasn´t been pretty." " I have no choice." " But you have." " What for instance?" " You´ll come with me." "I´ll prepare a wedding, we´ll get married" "We´ll get married?" " You and me?" "Seriously?" " Seriously." " You´ll also arrange for a wedding ceremony?" " I´ll arrange it." "We´ll have a home, kids." "How many?" "5?" "10?" "Ahmet!" "Wait!" "Wait for me." "Isn't it time?" "I'm not going." "I´m allowing myself a night off tonight." "Why did you kill him?" "Why did you become a murderer?" "Our custom demanded it." "My mother ordered me to." "Your father´s blood cannot remain staining the ground, she said." "I went to Junior High School at the time." "I wanted to be an engineer." "One day on my way home from school I learned that my father had been shot." ""You´re grown up now," said my mother." ""Your finger can pull a trigger."" "Prove to be faithful son, she said, revenge your father." "I finished off my father´s murderer 3 days later in the market place." "I spent 3 years in the penitentiary." "Then the juvenile reformatory." "When I turned 21, they put me among the heavy penalty guys." "That´s how they call the long-time convicts." "I became one of them." "After a time my mother stopped visiting me." "She had died." "Shortly before my release I was afraid for my life." "They knew about the day of my release." "They lay in ambush and were going to kill me too." "To save me from falling into the ambush, the prosecutor released me one day earlier." "In order to live I fled to this town." "And later you turned up." "Where have you been since yesterday, girl?" "We´ve been dying from curiosity, the boss also had a nervous break-down." "He mustn´t have a break-down, he has no spare parts left." " One makes a phone call, you know..." " The way you´re going on and on about it ..." " What´s this?" " Leave it." "Your dress too is quite chic." " Probably a present from the handsome guy." " What´s it to you!" "Why do you ask all those questions?" "What are you laughing about, for God´s sake?" " Come on, let´s not play games with each other." " Have you all gone crazy?" " Do you think I´d ever get involved with anything as filthy as a man!" " If you say so." "Get ready at once." "Tonight we´re invited out." " Where to?" " To Ýskender Bey's villa." "He´s giving a big party." "You, I and Nalan from the Aphrodite club." "I´ll be doing my variety number." "Hello." "Open the gate." "Look at all that money!" "Please come in." "You´ll dress in here." " Which one comes on first?" " I am." " Isn´t Miss Nigar coming?" " She isn´t." "Why not?" "She´s been asked to Ýskender Bey's private party." "She´ll perform there." "¶ this pain cannot be forgotten" "¶ play your sad tunes, fiddler" "¶ with every love affair the heart feels sorrow" "¶ I don´t know how many they were ... ¶ look at the state I´m in, play a sad tune" "¶ I´ve lived my life without you" "¶ I've drunk from you each night" "¶ if this life had been spent" "¶ if it hadn´t ended that night" "¶ your hands in my hands" "¶ your eyes in my eyes" "¶ if this life had been spent" "¶ if it hadn´t ended that night" "What do you want?" "Who are you?" "¶ I´ll hang a melon round my neck" "¶ I recognize the womanizer by his eyes" "¶ if you give me some money" "¶ I`ll shake my belly for you too" "¶ if you give me some money" "¶ I´ll shake by belly for everyone" "¶ linga linga linga melon" "¶ wind, blow till morning" "¶ if you give me some money" "¶ I`ll shake my belly for you too" "¶ if you give me some money" "¶ I´ll shake by belly for everyone" "Bravo!" "Bravo!" " Long may she live!" " Calm yourself." "The boss gives his thanks." "And this is for your effort." " 25.000 lira for me?" " Yes." "And your friends got extra payment too." " Which one is Ýskender Bey?" " The guy dancing in the middle." "You didn´t welcome us, but I don´t want to leave without saying "thank you"." "Thank you." "Wait for me." "What´s the matter?" "You forgot your money." "Let´s go." "I left the money on purpose." "So that you understand." "But you don´t want to understand." "Look here, you´re a good guy, I don´t want to hurt you." "I can never be yours." "Look here, 25.000 lira." "This is just one night´s pay, get it?" "Don´t cross my path again, don´t hang to my skirts." "Your path goes this way, my path goes that way, ok?" "Dirty bandit!" "Ass!" "May God punish you." "Dirty bastard." "Crazy dog!" "Monster!" "Turn back, you bastard." "Turn back, I´m telling you!" "May God punish you, you crazy fool." "Fool, beast!" "Maniac!" "They´ll kill you." "They´ll catch you and beat you to death with chains." "Let go of me." "Let go of me, bastard!" "You think they won´t follow us?" "The whole town will rise." "You´ll see." "Listen, please let me go." "I won´t tell anybody." "Why did you bring me to this place?" "What do you want from me?" "What do you want?" "I want you." "But I don´t want you." "That's not the way you used to talk." "That night you came into my arms of your own accord." "Right?" "Didn´t you enjoy being with me?" " Don´t deny it." " Who´s denying?" "I liked you a lot and I became afraid." "And I ran away because I was afraid." "What were you afraid of?" "Of falling in love with you." "Get out of my life, Ahmet." "Don't interfere with my job." " Let´s part on good terms." " Is money all that matters to you?" "Yes, money." "If, instead of dragging me here, you´d taken me to Istanbul ... if you had rented the Royal Suite at the Hilton   if you had give me breakfast at the poolside   if you´d put into my bag a fat check, then I´d be running after you." "Whatever, with time you´ll get used to this too." "Abducting a woman, is this manly behaviour?" "Bravery?" "Love?" "Answer me!" "Is this love?" "That downright bandit ..." "You´ve done a fine job, you´ve done the right thing." "A louse like you can only possess my photograph." "May God curse you!" "May God curse you!" "You´re no differet from the others." "Like every man, you just live for yourself, you can´t even imagine what the person near you is like." "What is it to me that fled to this place, that you were depressed or a convict?" "Look around!" "Is there anybody here beside us, any other of God´s creatures?" "If you like we too could leave this place." "Where to?" "It´s too late for me now." "I´ve stopped believing in that fairy tale since long." "To wait for my husband in the evening   to call out to my kids playing in the garden "your father is coming" sharing dinner ... why wouldn´t I want all this?" " But it´s too late." " Why too late?" "I've had plenty of that kind of happiness from crazy and randy men like you." "Come over here." "Take it, you must be hungry." "Don´t come near me." " Sleep inside." " I won´t." "In the early morning it´s getting fresh." "And there are lots of mosquitos." "Suit yourself." "I told you so." "Salt water will help." "Turn round." "You´ll take me back the way you brought me here." "Don´t make a wrong move." "The gun´s not loaded." "Try it if you like." "You lying bastard." "May I take this?" "Do you like them fried or grilled?" "Can you forget what I did to you, what I said to you?" "Feeling sleepy?" "Then go to bed." "In the early hours the mosquitos are merciless." "You too come in." "May your work come easy." "I´d like to help you." " This isn´t something you could do." " Let me try." "Take a grip more at the top." "Lift the sicle right up, swing it down to mow." "I see." "It´s hard for me to say it, but each moment my longing for you gets stronger." "I don´t want this, may God curse you all." " Nigar." " May God curse you." "Nigar!" "Oh God, I´m crazy too, I can´t leave." "I can´t run away." "We must call for a doctor at once." "No, I don´t want one." " Your foot is swollen and bleeding terribly." " By tomorrow it´ll be all right again." "But I told you to just let me go." "Why didn´t you leave?" "I don´t know." "A woman like you... such a beautiful woman..." "Why do you loathe men so much?" "We were immigrants, after we buried my mother in Priþtine, my father didn´t want to stay there." "We came to Turkey." "In the beginning we were doing fine." "Father sold köfte (meat balls) in the street, we got along." "But suddenly father fell ill." "First we sold the cart, later I started working." "I´ll never forget the day." "In our quarter Müesser got married." "For the first time I wore silk stockings, high heeled shoes." "I wasn´t that young, I was a girl of 13 already." "I got to know men that day." "They covered me with their filth that day." "I couldn´t go back home." "I was cold, hungry." "Nobody asked me if I was hungry." "They didn´t even give me a simit (sesame roll)." "The men who filled my stomach always took their pay." "Everybody just ravished me." "Do you understand now why I loathe men, why they disgust me?" "Why did you get up?" "You`re the one who´s right." "I made a mistake." "Where to?" "I`ll take you back." "Everything you said was right." "Our paths were separate since long." "I wish you all the best, Nigar." "Bye bye." "She doesn´t tell anything." "But she came back, so forget about it, don´t annoy her." " Things like this do happen." " Sure they do." "She's coming." "What´s going on?" "Have all the customers abandoned you?" "What kind of a shop is this?" "Tonight we´re closed because of a private entertainment." "Ýskender Bey will be here." "Ýskender Mürseloðlu." "He wants you at his table." "We´re in luck, girls." "Let´s go." "Welcome." "I´m Ayfer." " How are you?" " Thank you, and how are you?" " Thank you, sir, I´m fine too." "Welcome." "Thank you." " To our meeting, my pretty." " Your health." "They told me your name was Nigar." "I came here because of you." "I know." "You´re the first woman who made get out to be at her feet." "Your health." "But first you dragged me to your feet." "You´re not only beautiful, you´re also clever." " Would you be content with any other kind of woman?" " No." "I too drink to your health." "Your wife lives in Istanbul, doesn´t she?" "And your son is studying in Switzerland." "You seem to know a lot about me." "We're like two dancers on the same rope." " Anything else I can get you?" " Leave us." "I wish you a good night." "To your beauty." "What´s the matter?" "Nothing." "You looked sad." "Why?" "Maybe because I´m stunned at being here." "You´re a wonderful woman." "I like you a lot." "Good morning." "Hello." "In daylight you´re very beautiful too." "Come and sit next to me." "Would you like tea, milk or nescafé?" "Tea please." "My chauffeur will fetch your things from your hotel." "Nigar´s not in, she won´t be in again." "She´s living at Ýskender Bey's place now." "She´s living with him." "The guy just took away Nigar, bought off her contract, and condolences to everybody." "He´s been drinking a lot, really letting himself go." "I told him as much as I possibly could." "What did you tell him?" ""Nigar has found the life she always wanted, forget about her, find another woman," I said." "You did well." "His foot was crippled too, he was limping." " Shall we go down to the pool?" " No." "I must go now." "What business has that woman in here?" "That woman is my friend." "No longer." "For you, there´ll be no more yesterday, only tomorrow." "Get out!" "Did I make a mistake?" "Did I commit a fault?" "Get lost, I don´t want to see you." "Rýdvan, don´t go." "Forgive me." "I don´t know what I´m saying or doing these days." "Good morning." " What´s the matter with you?" " Nothing." " Come on, tell me." " It´s nothing." "Nothing´s the matter with me." "It can´t be, it can´t possibly be." "You´ve fulfilled all of my desires." "What else could a woman want?" "Either I`m spoilt or crazy." "Isn´t it so?" "You´re getting bored." "We´ll get married as soon as possible." "And on our honeymoon I´ll show you all of Europe." "I´ve news for you, it´ll hit you like a bomb, buddy." "Headline on the front page." "What´s this bomb-like news?" "Mürseloðlu Ýskender Bey fell in love with a nightclub dancer." "He´s shut down his villa and is divorcing his wife." "I went to the nightclub and talked to her former colleagues." "You´ve tired yourself out in vain, we won´t publish a single line on that piece of news." " I won´t go and I won´t let you go either." " But he sent us an invitation, how could we not go?" "Look at that man´s insolence, he's passing off a streetwalker as our equal." "I won´t offer my hand to a hussy who only yesterday was shaking her belly at us." "We´re obliged to go, little wifey, obliged." "That slut has been making your mouth water too, so of course we´re obliged to go." "Come on, don't start picking at me too." " I`m afraid they´ll get married soon too." " And we'll have to accept it." " I won´t go, I´m telling you!" "Nobody will go." "That old womanizer will be publicly disgraced." "You can do anything you like anywhere in the word, but his time you´re making a mistake." " With ice?" " Yes please." "We all have done our philandering." "When a woman pleases you, you get together once or twice, but then you wipe your mouth and finish it." "Keep your thoughts to yourself." "The gossip has even reached the ears of the General Manager." "I heard he wasn´t happy about it." "Of course I denied everything vigourously." "You´re all looking very tired." " At the new elections we´d better not nominate you as a candidates." " Not at all, I´m fine." "I beg of you, Ýskender Bey." "Gentlemen, I know you feel honoured to meet the woman who´ll soon be my wife." "Please come in." "Thank you." " Let me introduce you to the Senator." " How are you, sir?" " Merci." " And this is our Governor." " Thank you." "Pleased to meet you, sir." "Please come in." " Welcome." " Our pleasure, darling." " Welcome, madame." " How are you?" " You´re very beautiful, madame." " Let´s take a tour around." " With your permission." " Of course." "We´ll have stones raining on our heads." "(be punished for this)" "Don´t feel sad, little wifey, if it rains it´ll rain on everybody´s heads." " Thank you." " What a pleasure of meeting you ..." "Come with me." "Friends, tonight I´m giving you the best news of my life." "I got my divorce ... and I`ll get married next week." "I want everybody to come to the wedding celebration in Istanbul." "I feel happy that the most beautiful bride ever to enter the Mürseloðlu family, will be mine." "Go on, applaud, flatterers." "Well-bred, virtuous ,  noble ladies, powerful gentlemen ... lackeys of Mürseloðlu." "Nigar!" "When he divorces his wife, nobody pities the wife." "When he marries a nightclub singer, the gossip behind his back never stops, but later they bend their knees before her." "Am I lying?" "You remain silent?" "Because he´s Ýskender Mürseloðlu." "Because he can crush all of you." "Whenever he wants to, he can destroy all of you." "Are you trying to revolt, millionaire-slaves?" "Have you gone crazy?" " No, in fact, I was crazy before." " Come with me." "It won´t work, Mürseloðlu." "You know it too." "But your pride won´t allow you to admit it." "Perhaps one of these noble ladies, if you proposed to one of them   despite still having a husband, they´d come running after you." "Call me an idiot, call me a fool   call me what you like, but I´m out of it." "Because I´ve finally understood what it means to be in love." "Sweet Nigar used to belly-dance and sing for you in this place." "Later she became your queen." "And now she´s leaving." "Forgive me." "You´re crazy, you`ve positively lost your mind." "Giving the kick to a sugar daddy like Ýskender Bey?" " For such a chance, I´d queue for 100 years." " You´ll deeply regret it." "Already she's regretting it a 1000 times." "Drinking in daytime too." "You got away fine." "Now start from scratch." "Who wants to get away?" "I`m Sweet Nigar." "The nightclub rose Sweet Nigar." "Do you love Ahmet that much?" "Then go to him at once." "I can´t." "I`ve done him a terrible wrong." "Once you´re together everything´s forgotten." "It won´t be." "There are some things that can´t be forgotten." "In the evening, stepping out of the front door, saying, "kids, your father´s coming", has become just a dream for me." "Well, what are you going to do now?" "My job." "Singing songs, shaking my belly." "I´ll be an even merrier, sweeter Nigar." "A drink in one hand, in the other hand some money, what´s the world to me!" "¶ the nights are long" "¶ morning isn´t coming" "¶ in a world without you" "¶ the sun won´t rise" "¶ if I told you, beloved, to come to me" "¶ beloved, my love can´t get fulfillment" "¶ without you, nothing goes right" "¶ if you don´t love me, my heart won´t find peace" "¶ my face doesn´t laugh" "¶ fate has taken you away from me, they won´t let me have you" "¶ I´m filled with longing life a flame" "¶ each day without you is like a century" "¶ where are you, beloved, come back to me" "¶ like mad I´ve been running after you" "¶ without you, nothing goes right" "¶ if you don´t love me, my heart won´t find peace" "¶ my face doesn´t laugh" "¶ fate has taken you away from me, they won´t let me have you" "¶ they won´t let me have you" "¶ they won´t let me have you" "She wants to poison herself with drink." " Wherever did that girl go?" " I don´t know." " Do you know Ahmet, the guy who lives among the reeds?" " Sure." "This morning he took his farewell and left." " Where to?" " He´s going back to his hometown." " Peace be with you." " And with you." " What´s the matter?" "Leaving?" " Yes." " Where to?" " I`m going back to my hometown." " May your voyage be auspicious." " Thank you." "Isn´t it enough that you're drinking till morning?" "That cursed drink won't do you any good." "How can one be so stubborn, trying to drown everything in drink?" "Ahmet has left." "I went to the reed fields, but couldn´t find him." "The fisherman told me he´ll be leaving for his hometown today." " Where did you say he was leaving for?" " His hometown." " When does the Kurtalan express leave?" " It left a few minutes ago." "Ahmet." "Ahmet!" "Why did you come?" "You´ll turn back, Ahmet." "I don´t want you to die, but to live." "What is there for me to turn back to?" "Your life." "Down there they´ll kill you." "My fate has begun down there, if it ends, let it end down there." "No, you mustn´t go!" "I implore you, listen to me." "Our paths have separated since long, but why go to your death?" "Why do you go to get yourself killed?" "Or are you doing it for me?" "You´re spoiling me." "Sonny, stop being a fool, I am Nigar." "The rose of the Hisar nightclub, Sweet Nigar." "If you want to really bad, come each evening." "Print some some money and bring it over." "Is a 500 lira nightclub singer worth dying for?" "She´s worth it, Nigar." "You´re crazy!" "Go away, die, croak, what´s it to me." "Ahmet!" "English subtitles: serdar202  ismuta @ KG  AliKarnas"
