"Ridvan!" "There are mines over there." "Ridvan, Ridvan!" "Ma!" "I am cold girl, pour some water." ""Veteran's Food Stand"" "Hamit, you're taking the fridge to the back, right?" "You're blocking the way, sitting there like that!" "If you mind your step, there should be no problem." "See, it's 35 degrees, and still he's wandering around in a suit." "Your blood pressure's 22, sugar 180, but you're drinking raki in the sun." "You should take care!" "Come on son, we are just sharing a small bottle." "We are celebrating the opening." "Opening day is tomorrow!" " Don't make a fuss." "By the way brother, this is the hottest August I can remember!" "This humidity is killing me." "Did you hit your hand?" "Let uncle Maki do it, if you want, eh?" "Dad, stay at my uncle's tonight, too." "My girlfrienďs visiting me this evening." "Well, I won't be sleeping in your bed." "You two can stay in your room." "Dad, you have been staying at uncle's for a week." "Just stay one more night?" "It's only 45 minutes by train." "And tomorrow you will be here for the opening." "Stay at my uncle's." "I said I am busy tonight!" "Well, I bet you'll have no problem putting me in a home when I'm past it either." "You little piece of shit!" "Muhittin says he's two thousand dollars short." "He'll send the rest next week." "That's what he said eh?" " That's right." "And where is he now?" " At his shop." "Hold on, what was the agreement?" "You know the opening is tomorrow." "Where am I meant to get two thousand dollars from?" "We've got bills too." "Watch your mouth!" "Hey!" "OK, hang up now." "Hey Cevher, are you OK man?" "I get nervous in crowds." "Come on, let's go home." "Get some rest." "Hello?" "Who?" "Oh, he is not free right now." "He is in the toilet." "Yes." "Muhittin." " Eh?" "Muhittin." "Hello." "Look, I'm coming over now." "You get my two thousand ready, OK?" "What?" "OK, I'm hanging up and coming there now." "He says to come over and talk." "Bastard." "Forget it man." "OK, you are right." "We'll get the money somehow." "What about Zeyyat?" "He's already paid half of it." "You don't know nothing." "Where is Muhittin?" " Inside." "He's busy." "Sit down." "Don't make me mad." "I'm just gonna talk to him!" "Hey, calm down." "I'll call you later man." "Give me the money." "What did I tell you man?" "I told you I'd pay it tomorrow." "You said next week, don't screw around!" "And now I say tomorrow." "I couldn't get my check either." "I said today!" "Don't be late tonight." "Hi there." " Hi." "Ridvan, the war hero." "Come on, let's have some tea." "Thanks, thank you." "Welcome back Ridvan." " Thanks." "How's things?" "Fine." "How's your dad?" "He's fine." "How's your mom?" "Fine too." "You're covered in flour." "We were making pastry." "You didn't come to meet me at the station." "I was embarrassed, I guess." "How do I look?" "You're fine." "Just like you used to." "How?" "You look like you have both legs." "You looked awful when you didn't have the false leg, of course." "Really?" " Really." "You didn't say so, then." "How could I?" "You can wear other shoes on it too, right?" "Right." "Shall I go to your dad on Sunday and ask if I can marry you?" "Let me ask him." " Ask him what?" "You said we'd go after I got the leg?" " We did." "So?" "OK then." "I'd better leave now." "I'm so sorry." " Thanks dear." "Don't be sad Rahime." "He is a hero now." "I hope to God it never happens to you." "He'll go straight to heaven." "But of course she's sad." "Her only son." "For God and Country, I said." "He went to serve his country." "Who could have known?" "Well, thank God he's still alive." "But Ridvan loved football so much." "He just wants to play again, but without his leg..." "I said, "What can we do?"" "Thank God you're still alive and by my side." "God save us all." "I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy." "Hello guys." " Hi Ridvan, welcome." "Thank you." "Hello." " Hi." "How are you Ridvan?" " I'm fine." "You haven't been around?" " Had a change of climate." "Ridvan, make some room." "How are you Ridvan?" " Fine." " A glass of tea for Ridvan too." "No, I want some water." " Give us a deck." "Ridvan, where was your initial training?" "Manisa." "Fazil is off the army." "You remember him?" "Hey, aren't you Hayati's nephew?" "That's right." "Where are you gonna do your training?" " Burdur." "Look buddy, just play dumb in the army, OK?" "How do you mean?" "I mean don't be a smart-ass." "What else can I say?" "Tell me Ridvan, how on earth did you step on that mine?" "Never mind." "Yesterday evening we were playing billiards, and some assholes were talking behind your back." "I wanted to beat the shit..." " Never mind those bastards." "What were they saying?" "They say you shot at some mules, thinking it was the PKK, and you stood on the mine while clearing the field." "Those fags are telling all sorts of tales." "Whoever's talking this kind of shit, stand up like a man." "Come on." "I fought for you, I fought for you." "I lost this leg for you." "I shit on your faces." "I shit on all your faces." "I shit on the face of whoever talking behind my back." "What the hell is he talking about?" "He's talking about someone else, not you." "Why've you parked the tractor in front of the shop?" "There is a delivery coming." " OK, I'm taking it away." "Hey Ridvan." "You're early." "Hey, that leg looks real." "Throw away that stick, man." "No, I can't step on it yet, it hurts." "I'm cold, man." "Come on in, Firuz is here." " Thank you." "How are you Mustafa?" "Fine." "How are you feeling?" " Fine, thanks." "How are you feeling Ridvan?" "Fine." "Thanks." "Don't you know Firuz?" "He used to be a potter at Avanos." "He had a shop called "Earth"." "Right, at..." "By the Kizilirmak river." "I used to work with Devran from Bingol." "Devran from Bingol?" " Right." "Their stall was the best." "Devran's daughter was my classmate at high school." "Really?" "I knew Elif when she was a child." "Ridvan, have some sausage." "No, I don't want any." "Her father took her to Bingol." "What else could he do?" "His parents were old, his village was evacuated." "So he went there." "My so-called fiancee asked me, if these were the only shoes I could wear with this leg." "You know, like the wedding guests will be staring at the cripple's foot." "Sencer, pour me another glass of raki." "Don't mix that shit." "Don't worry I'm fine." " Well, I'm off now." "Really?" " Yeah, my wife's waiting." "Are you leaving Firuz?" " Yeah." "Won't you shake my hand?" "She used to be my girl at high school, you know?" "Elif, Elif." "Come here." "Sit down for a few minutes." "I'm gonna tell you something." "Come on." "One day she told me that she was leaving." "I asked where." "She said she was going to her village." "What village?" "Are you nuts, girl?" "She said to Bingol." "We are Kurdish, you know." "I said, so what?" "The villages are being evacuated." "There is terrorists." "It's what my dad wants." "My grandparents are ill." "I am going to them." "I said, what about me?" "What about me?" "Hearing that, she took out a photo," "she'd been keeping it under her bra, a photo of us in the high school yard." "She said, I'm gonna keep this till I die." "Do you understand?" "If your friend, Devran from Bingol, didn't go to his village," "I wouldn't have lost my leg." "Fuck Devran." "Fuck his mother, his whole family." "Hey!" "Don't swear like that." "I'll swear at anyone I want!" "Ridvan, you lose your head when you mix that shit." "You're really pissing me off." "What do you know?" "Know what?" "So, I'm cursing at your mate." "Got a problem!" "Ridvan look." "You might have lost your leg, but don't lose your dignity, OK?" "Don't worry, I never will." "That's enough Ridvan." "Just listen to yourself!" "I lost my leg in the name of dignity." "Good night." "Where are you going?" "Home." "Sencer." "I didn't embarrass you, did I?" "You swear at other people's families." "Sencer." "Look." "Forgive me if I upset you." "I'm not a normal guy like the others." "I'm a cripple." "You understand me, right?" "You must forgive me." "You are no different from the others." "Come, take me to Sefika's." "Forget Sefika now." "She asks me if these were the only shoes I could wear." "I'll wear patent leather shoes." "Shiny shoes." "I'll look like a fag." "Like a fag?" "Yeah." " Yeah?" "I'm gonna play football with this leg too." "Hit the ball with..." "What were you trying to say to Sefika?" "Rasit is coming." "What were you trying to say?" "Hello father-in-law." "Hi." "What's this mess?" "There was a hole." "I fell into it." "We were just laughing at that." "You made me a promise." "Remember?" "What was it?" "I didn't drink much father-in-law." "Yes Rahime?" " Hello." " Hi." "Isn't Ridvan here?" "No, he didn't come here today at all." "What were you trying to tell her?" "What were you trying to tell?" "I'm asking you man." " I told her to stay quiet." "Quiet is like this." "Not like that." "You were saying I was stoned, right?" "Right?" "Fuck you." "Fuck you man." "Don't laugh at me." "Fuck you." "Fuck you." "Ridvan, don't drink that shit too much." "Don't lose your dignity." "Am I supposed to take dignity lessons from you?" "Don't be a maniac, man." " You are the maniac." "Am I supposed to take dignity lessons from you?" "Are you pulling a gun on me?" "Take dignity lessons from you?" "Take dignity lessons from you, eh?" "Fuck off." "Fuck off." "Fuck you all." "You are all assholes." "My dear son." "Change that channel ma." "Do it yourself." "What are you thinking, girl?" "What is she supposed to think?" "It's obvious." "I won't let my daughter marry a cripple." "You shut up." "I didn't ask you." "I asked her." "So, what do you say, my daughter?" "How are you Sehime?" " I'm OK Rahime." "How are you?" "I've come for shopping." " The marriage is off Rahime." "Cause he is a cripple?" " Her dad wants it that way." "Forgive me." "What can I say?" "You were pulling a gun on me." "Are you crazy?" "I swear I was gonna fire into the air." "You are my friend man, how could I shoot you?" "I'm here to apologize." "I'm wasting away Sencer." "My brain is wasting away." "That's what drinks and drugs do." "No, that's not it." " What is it, then?" "I hear voices." "If I took that many drugs, so would I." "Come, let's talk inside." "No, I won't." "Just lend me some money." "I'm gonna run away with that girl." "Don't do that man." "I'll pay you back with my war pension." "You can't just run away together in this day and age!" "Well why not?" "Her parents won't let her marry me." "They lock her in like an animal." "Those bastards." "So, are you gonna lend me some money?" "I can't." "I had some, but I invested in lemons." "I'm scared Sencer." "There are ghosts in these houses." "Bullshit." "Ridvan." "Ma." "Ma." "Ma." "Ma." "Ma, they are coming for me ma." "Sleep by my side." "No they aren't, son." " No, they are." "They aren't." " They are, ma." "They are, ma." "Ridvan, get up son." "Eat your food." "I don't want to ma." "My dear, eat some and go back to sleep." "Don't stand there ma." "I don't want to eat." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Sefika, it's me." "Ridvan." "Just wanted to ask how you are." " I'm fine." "It's my parents, I swear." "They don't want it." "Tell me, do you want to marry me?" "Say yes, and I'll take you away." "You are on the phone all day long..." "I'm gonna tell your dad to have the line cut off." "I wish you were never born." "You give me nothing but trouble." "My mother's shouting at me." "Forget me Ridvan." "I can't do that." "I don't want to get married." "Let me have five thousand dollars." "No man." "You lend dollars, you get dollars." "No one loses that way, right?" "Right." "Let's meet at the bar then." "Have a drink together." "OK, OK." "See you." "What would you like to eat tonight son?" "Don't wait up." "I'll have a few drinks and come home late." "No later than nine or ten." "OK, ma." "We can watch TV." "Hello." " Hi." "Hello there, hello there." "Firuz." "Come have some raki." "No thanks, I'm waiting for some friends." "Firuz." "Don't be touchy with me." "You are older than me." "I am a cripple." "My brain is crippled too." "I'm sorry." "Nothing to be sorry about." "Bring another glass." "Come, let me buy you a raki." "Alright then." "I thought Sencer was coming too." " I'm sure he will." "I'll be at your door at eleven thirty." "Do you hear?" "OK?" "No, no." "I've arranged everything." "Don't panic girl." "Thanks for the fatherly advice Firuz." "Cheers." " Cheers." "Enjoy your meals." "Where have you been, man?" "Well, it takes a while getting here." "How are you?" "OK?" "Yeah, I'm OK." "Why are you so moody?" "Pour just a little, Ridvan." "Drink, drink." " That's enough." "No more." "You are my guests." "I'm gonna quit drinking after tonight." "Really." "Or they won't let me marry this girl." "So I said, "All done, captain, sir!"" "I'll get this." "No, you're my guests." " Wait." "Hold on." "OK." "Just pay for your self then." "Look, I'll get it." "Let's have a bit more to drink." "Look, let's drink as friends." "Another small bottle, please." "Come on Firuz." "Let's go." " Hold on a minute." "I'm not in a rush, but..." "Look Firuz, I'm gonna tell you something else." "If it's another crappy army tale, I don't want to hear about it." "Listen to me Firuz." " Let's go." "Stay a bit longer." "Have another drink." "Sit, sit." "Firuz, I never told this to anyone." "Not even to my ma or this pal here." "I'm gonna tell it to you, because you can understand it better than anyone else." "Then you will see why I'm in this state." "They got us into a truck, man." "And we left the outpost." "Firuz." " Hush." "I was singing." "I was scared shitless." "It was dark." "Pitch black." "Our headlights were off too, just driving like that." "The soldier behind the wheel was trembling." "There was another one called Cevher the Ghost." "He was from Istanbul." "My buddy." "He was an excellent sniper." "Anyway, five minutes had barely passed when we heard a bomb explosion." "The Commander said it was bazooka." "He was a perfect commando." "Quite the soldier." "We got back to find the base blown to bits." "The place was teeming with terrorists." "About twenty or thirty of them." "They were good shooters too." "You wouldn't stand a chance." "It was a merciless war." "You could be gone in a second." "They killed our comrades." "So we started shooting them down." "Shooting them in the head." "We gunned down about a dozen of them." "It lasted about an hour." "And then there was a complete silence." "We gathered together and realized we were all fine." "Have a good night." " You too." "Ma, get up or you'll fall asleep here." "Go sleep in your room." "Just put a blanket over me." "Go away." "Don't be rude." "You are the rude one." "It was almost dawn now." "We were all sitting together." "We couldn't move because of the mines." "I saw a movement." "I thought it might be a wolf, when I saw this terrorist, a girl, shot in the leg, crawling away." "I told her to freeze." "Then she turned her machine gun on me." "I ducked when she started firing." "I looked up to see her running away." "Even with her wound, she was running like a goat." "Then she stumbled." "I told her to put her hands up and get up." "She tried to use her machine gun." "Then I gunned her." "Her head, her back..." "Then it was morning." "Ridvan, come here." "What is it" " Isn't that you?" "Where did you find that, man?" " On the girl that you shot." "Where?" "That one lying there." "Elif," "Elif." "What is he doing?" "Ridvan!" "There are mines over there." "Ridvan, Ridvan!" "Sencer." " Yes?" "Maybe we should take him to his house." "Don't worry." "He can take care of himself." "He sounds off his head." " He is." "He says that he shot Elif." "As far as I know, Elif is still alive." "Really?" " Yeah." " I'm telling you, man." "He's lying." "He wants to become a legend." "He drinks too much." "He's turned psycho now." "Well, there is some truth to his words." "Appearantly Devran did become a terrorist there." "They interrogated me because we used to be business partners." "Well, he is a good liar." "He mixes in a bit of truth." "If I wasn't there, he'd have asked for money." "Really?" " Yeah." "He is that kind of guy." "I'm off to Ankara for a week." " Why?" "To sort some stuff out." "Shall I put this here?" "No I'll take it." "Hello, Sencer?" "Hello, Sencer?" "Where are you going girl?" "Our daughter's running away." "Tell the police!" "Damn you girl." "Ridvan!" "Ridvan!" "Thank you Zeyyat, God bless you." "Normally I wouldn't do this, but you are not a stranger." "You moan about the food and then you all rush for it." "Thanks but we're going out to eat with the girls." "OK, go then." "Listen, if you weren't Mecit's widow..." "God bless his soul." "I swear this is a dangerous job." "Listen, I'm talking with full mouth." "This is dangerous business." "Zeyyat, if only he gave me a date or a check..." "He doesn't." "He says forget it." "It's my daughter's dowry money." "OK, go now." "Don't cry, don't cry." "I'm gonna fix it, don't worry." "This kid will collect it for you and then get his share." "Of course." "He can have his share." "As long as he takes our money back from that crook." "Don't feel so down." "Consider the job done already." "Hi Cavidan, how are you?" " Hello!" "Kids, can you go out for a moment, I have to talk to Cevher." "Do you think you are Kinowa or something boy?" "Scalping people like that." "Or there's gonna be trouble at the market place." "You grin, but don't do it again." "Threaten, but don't hurt." "I will tell you when to hurt people, OK?" "Now keep that money." "We'll get even later." "Spend it on your food stand." "Here, take this." "He had a wonderful voice." "He could really sing with soul." "Maksut, open the kitchen windows for Goďs sake." "I'm drenched in sweat here." "Maksut!" "I swear I'm afraid for this boy." "You won't hear a word against him, but he's gonna end up in trouble." "I talked to him, brother." "He swears his boss isn't in the drug business." "Says he is only a loan shark and that he does the collecting, he is gonna quit it too when the food stand starts making money." "I've given up saying anything." "Screwed up kid." "I screwed him up." "I'm not a good man." "I couldn't be a good father to either of them." "Do you love me?" "What did I say?" "Take it up your nose!" " I never did this before." "That's not heroin, is it?" " No." "Take it!" "What if my nose bleeds?" "Take it girl!" "Say please?" "I said take it!" "Get up!" "It's an earthquake!" "Earthqua..." "It's an earthquake!" "Dear viewers, we are now witnessing a rescue operation to save an elderly earthquake victim from under the rubbles." "We are now witnessing a miracle." " Back off!" "Lift!" " One moment man." "Mr. Prime Minister, we are from the Skai TV of Greece." "Excuse me?" " Skai TV of Greece." "How do you plan to help your citizens?" "The rescue teams are at work." "We get help from friendly countries, our neighbours, including Greece, we were very pleased to hear that." "Of course there'll be tough times ahead." "Help me sit there." "Tasula!" "Is that Teoman?" "He is your brother!" "Welcome Teoman." "I am Hamit." "I'm so sorry for your loss." "Thank you, dear." "Mama, let's go to Athens." "I'll go make some tea." "We'll have a lot of visitors." "Thank you man." "God bless you." "Cemil!" "I brought some dolma for you." "I'll leave them in the kitchen." "Tasula!" " Melahat?" "Is that you?" "Welcome Tasula." "What a surprise, my dear!" "The Veteran's Food Stand is gone." "All our dreams are gone." "We'll rebuild it together man." "Your uncle is dead." "Your dad was rescued from under rubble." "We can rebuild it." "They say there'll be another earthquake tonight." "Pay no head to that." "Just eat and shit, that's what life is all about." "Professor Isikara says there'll be more aftershocks." "Really?" "Then let's not sleep at home." "You bring Cemil and all to our garden, Cevher." "Cemil and all!" "Come on, let's go home man." "He's your brother, come all the way from Greece." "Hamit, did you recognize Teoman straight away?" "We were friends as kids." "The four of us, his brother, me, Ahmet the cripple and Hayganus' son Hayk." "Of course I recognized him from his eyes." "Actually they do look alike." "No wonder, since they've got the same dad." "How do we look alike eh?" "Eh?" "What the hell are you doing?" "It was a joke, man." "I swear I was joking." "Stop it..." "I'm not speaking to you ever again!" "Greek TV kept showing what was happening." "Greek TV kept showing what was happening." "So I said to Teo, that's your dad, let's go." "So we jumped on a plane and came here." "You did a good thing." "We are all mortal." "You haven't forgotten Turkish." "Teo and I speak in Turkish all the time at home." "My dear sister." "My dear Tasula." "Teoman!" "Call me if you need anything." " Thanks." "Come here son." "Tasula, where are you?" "Stay with me for a while." "Cevher, come here son, for Goďs sake." "We are not staying indoors tonight." "Another earthquake is expected." "Come on Cemil, let's sleep outside." "Teoman, Tasula, come on." "Everyone is outdoors." "We're going to the hotel anyway." "No you won't." "Do you think your hotel won't be affected by an earthquake?" "I'm suffering a lot tonight." "Let's stay together, as a family." "I'm so glad you came." "You help ease the pain of the loss of my brother." "I'm coming." "My son, my dear, does your ear hurt so bad?" "Cevher, go and shake your brother's hand son." "Please don't do this." "I almost died, you know." "Don't do this, for Goďs sake." "I almost died too." "Do you think it's easy to shake his hand?" "Screw my fate." "I lost my ear at war, then I get back and there's an earthquake my uncle dies and God knows what else." "And now this brother from Greece, who's more woman than man." "Watch your mouth." "He is your brother." "My brother?" "My sister, more like!" "Tasula." "Forgive me." "Teoman, did you recognize me?" " What?" " Did you recognize me?" "Yes, your grandpa used to call you Hamido." "You had a sheep called Karagoz." "Wow, I'm impressed." "Dear Uncle Maki, he used to love you so much." "I loved him too." "Don't mind Cevher." "Actually he has a heart of gold." "One of his ears went deaf in the army." "I swear." "He fought in the east." "His right ear is dead now." "Uncle Maki was my uncle too." "He used to buy me balloons on feast days." "We used to fly them together." "Did you fly them too?" "What the...?" "What are you saying?" "I can't hear you." "Have you made your peace with the deceased?" "I have." "I have." "I have." " I have." "Let's pray for his soul." "We are going back to Athens tomorrow." "We are going back to Athens tomorrow." "Hamit, I wrote down my phone number for you." "Please keep us informed, will you?" "Well, I'd tell you to stay, but you can see the state we're in." "We've got nothing." "We will come to visit you again dad!" "By all means do that." "Come back and stay with me." "Tasula, the house is still yours, you know." "Forget it." "I did." "What do you mean?" "It's legally yours." "Teo, take down my number and Cevher's too." "And I'll take yours..." "Tasula, do you have a husband?" "I did." "It didn't work." "So we got divorced." "Cevher." "Where were you?" "Come and talk a bit." "So, was the food stand destroyed?" "Yes, the veteran died for his cause." "And Cevher's mother bled to death giving birth." "One night I was dead drunk." "That was the day the stuff in Cyprus happened." "They gunned a Turkish family in their bathroom." "We were in a boathouse in Kumkapi at the time, smoking pot and drinking wine." "My fisherman pals said they had beaten up a Greek fisherman." "I said "Shame on you"." "One of them retorted:" ""You shut up." "The mother of your son is Greek too!"" "I broke the bastarďs jaw." "Then I came here." "We weren't married, but we were living together in your mother's house." "I had heard rumors that Tasula's father was a secret agent who financed Greek fighters." "You were sleeping in your room." "I asked her, "Is your father really an agent?"" "We had a screaming argument." "I said, "Take your son and fuck off"." "I told her that she wasn't worth it." "I didn't mean it really." "I didn't really mean to tell her to go away." "I was a drunk at the time Tasula." "Why did you take me so seriously my dear?" "I loved you right from here." "My dear son, dye your hair black." "It will suit you better." "Forgive me." "It was like I felt nausea in my ear." " What did you take?" " What?" "I said what did you take?" "Everything!" "Would you like some too?" " Well, I could have a sip." "What is it?" " Open the door Cevher." "We're going back to Athens tomorrow." " Bye bye." "Leave him alone Teo." "He doesn't feel good now." "Come, you will talk tomorrow morning." "He puked and all." "Forget it." " Cevher open the door!" "Cevher!" "Easy, easy!" "Close the door." "Hello Zeyyat." " Cevher, what's up boy?" "I'm on a bad trip." "The food stand is a complete wreck." "Those assholes made it out of shit." "Come here and we'll cheer you up." "Nazan is here." "I'll think about it." "Just give me 10 minutes and I'll call you back." "Come on." "Come here." " OK, I'll call you back." "Cevher, sit down." "Is that cocaine?" " What if it is?" "I was born in this house." "My ma and dad used to live together in this house." "This house is mine." "This street is mine." "He is my father, as well." "And who are you?" "Come on, ask your dad." "I was born in this house, and you weren't here." "Those are my toys." "I was kicked out of this place, with my mom." "I don't know why, but I came back." "I found my dad." "I forgot everything." "But you didn't even say hello." "I didn't know about you either." "Suddenly I found out that I have a brother." "So what's the big deal?" "Why don't you want me?" "What difference would it make?" "You are different." "I am different." "If you were like me, it wouldn't be that way." "Which way you idiot?" "You are a Turk, I am a Greek?" "You are a man, I am a faggot?" "Is that what you mean?" "Fuck off, you are not a man." "Listen, you are my brother." "OK." "But watch your mouth or I'll fix your personality!" "So you came here." "Welcome." "And now goodbye, OK?" "Let's see how alike we really are, you asshole." "Don't pull my hair!" "Is Teoman upstairs, son?" " They are upstairs." "I heard that you are leaving in the morning." "I might not be there to see you off." "So, goodbye." "Beautiful boy." "You and Teo are so alike." "You two will keep in touch, won't you?" "Take good care of dad." "None of us are guilty."
