"I think a nursing home is a good idea, darling!" "OK!" "Come on!" "Mummy, there's food in the fridge, please don't intend to cook , is it clear?" "When Barýþ comes from school, just heat his meal, that's enough." "And don't forget to turn off the cooker." "And don't do any washing." "Mum no, and please don't you ever take a bath on your own!" "One more thing, you keep on digging the soil of those plants and you make a mess!" "Please, please mum, flowers are supposed to be in the fýelds, not in the house." "And this time you're going to use this mum, please!" "I don't know how to use these phones, my girl!" "Barýþ knows how to use it, mummy, Just keep it, that's enough."

"Barýþ, is that clear, dear?" "From now on, you're going to inform me about even the slightest detail!" "You're not going to do anything without telling me."

"Ohh." "Grandma, that pulloverwas new!" "It isn't anymore!" "Allright!" "Mum will kill us if she hears about it!" "She won't if you don't tell her!" "Allright." "You know that if speech is silver, silence is..." "Silense is gold!" "Bravo!" "And we can go to the park when this is fýnished." "You're great, grandma!" "We can say to your mum we'll have a siesta, and ask her not to call us." "Right?" "l can't say that grandma!" "l can." "Ohh, that's enough grandma, it's my turn!" "No my child, it's not your turn yet." "you go on riding your bike!" "l'm not swinging, grandma." "Count up to a hundred, then it's your turn." "I don't know how to count up to a hundred, grandma."

"Look at me!" "Today, we went to the park, too, mum!" "What?" "You mean, you lied to me, and then you went to the park." "Oh, bravo mum, really,bravo, I regret it, I regret it!"

"We crossed at the green light, mum!" "Congradulations, really, congradulations!" "They crossed at green light!" "Hale, I want to see the boss." "Could you arrange that?" "Certainly, Mrs. Sonay." "How about dinner this evening?" "Could be, if mom looks after Barýþ of course." "But I'm scared to leave them together." "What shall we have for lunch?" "It's up to you." "Barýþ my dear, now it's time to share these." "OK, write now!" "One." "In fýgures, well done." "Crochet table cloth will be Nihal's." "Have you written?" "l have." "Backstitch table cloth will go to Barýþ's wife." "But I won't marry, grandma!" "You will, my precious, you will." "So, what'll you write?" "Below, yes here." "So, what'd you write?" "'Will go to Barýþ's wife'." "Ohh, the precious of his grandma!" "Dear Adviye deeper than the blue ocean." "You are always with the humble writer of these lines, with all your precious existance." "I feel very fortunate and happy because of this." "Because you've given me such a great happiness I am sending you my love forever longing to kiss your lips." "May you rest in peace." "What does, 'May you rest in peace' mean, grandma?" "It is said about the dead people darling we express how much we love them in this way, my sweety." "What's death like, grandma?"

"But Sonay is not married!" "Cut it out!" "If I say so, it is like that!" "It's none of your business." "Deniz, go out..." "What do you think you're doing?" "I love you!" "But, I don't love you!" "You do!" "l don't!" "You do!" "I don't love a man who hits me!" "I've apologized to you for a thousand times, besides, you hit me fýrst." "Leave me alone, is that clear?" "Sonay." "You can go in." "Only you play with it grandma, you never give it to me, it's going to close." "You play this all the time, dear Barýþ;" "now let me play with it." "Let's go to the park, then." "We go Barýþ, but then you tell your mum about it, dear." "I won't tell her." "Grandma, grandma." "You!" "Mum's coming." "We'll directly go home, my child, otherwise, your mum will worry." "Grandma, set me free when we get down the slope..." "Release me here." "To the car, to the car!" "I'm sorry, Sonay." "If I were a hyacinth in your garden lf l were a rose that you love" "Mum, for god's sake, listen to it using this." "Oh please." "But how many times have we argued about it, do we need to argue, again?" "!" "I can't work, I can't work." "Hold it!" " You like this song, mum." " l love it." "Grandma meat balls, ha!" "l've made them for Barýþ." "Don't you ever tell Sonay that I've cooked!" "OK mum." "My latest won't understand this." "You're wrong, Uður." "You have to learn to be patient." "She'll forgive you." "Grandma, I'm home.." "Grandma, the meal's burning!" "Stay away, you stay away!" "Hold on a second, Barýþ dear, hold on." "Let's put it in the garbage, grandma!" "We're saved!" "We're saved, my child, but you won't tell your mum, right?" "May it be easy!" "Thank you!" "Mum look!" "What's that mum?" "A saucepan!" "Just a second." "What sort of a saucepan?" "Avery nice saucepan." "I mean, it used to be!" "Yes mum, it used to be!" "Go over there, be quick!" "I told you not to cook, mum." "Why do you behave like a child?" "Why do you live with your children, think about it!" "Because, you were about to burn your house." "Are you going to burn our's now?" "Barýþ was hungry." "I made 'grandma meat balls' for the child." "Yes mum, I wanted 'grandma meat balls'!" "The hell with your 'grandma meat balls'." "You might have set the house on fýre!" "I can't stand it any more." "She'll get the boy into some kind of trouble !" "I can't help worrying about what's going on home;" "I can't concentrate to work. I'll be fýred.." "She's like a child, a 75 year old child." "I can hardly look after my own child, and I don't want a second one!" "We better put her into a nursing home." "Since, sister Nihal won't be with us, I think we don't have any other alternative." "Perhaps, we could put some money each and rent a separate place for her." "And we could fýnd a nurse for her." "In fact, I'm having fýnancial problems now but when I make things right, I can pay my share." "I haven't got any money, either, brother; all my salary goes to the mortgage, you know." "My father in law pays even the school fee of the children, I don't know what I can do?" "That's not a good idea, Uður.." "We'd tried that before, she did everything in the book to the poor nurse." "It's going to be worse than it is now." "A nursing home isn't a bad place brother, life is changing!" "May be, Berrin will also participate in this nursing project, huh?" "Well..." "You know the situation, Berrin doesn't want that!" "What do you want?" "Shall I too, divorce my wife?" "Do you want us to get divorced?" "Now look here, this woman is your mother as well as ours." "You couldn't even influence a woman, man;" "her son in law proved to be better than you." "You influenced yourwife, so what?" "You're going to get divorced!" "Now look here Murat, don't turn my brain." "Nihal's always took care of mum with love." "Yeah, right." "This woman sold all her property and gave it to us, man." "Just to see we're better, but you've done nothing in return." "She's giving her last property to you." "So, you should look after her." "Now look!" "Hey, what're you doing?" "I found a nursing home." "Avery nice place." "And it's affordable for her pension." "Their dream has come true." "And they lived happily ever after." "OK then, I'll call you later" "What's up?" "We've found a very convenient nursing home for you, mum." "Call Uður!" "We made a decision!" "Call him, I said." "Don't!" "It'll be better like that, mum!" "I provided you with the best opportunities;" "I sent you to private schools." "I'm sending Barýþ to a private school but I'm not expecting him to look after me." "I have no right to do that, you have no right for thar, either!" "Besides, you'd packed me off, mum!" "For your own good, now you speak three languages." "So what if I do, for God's sake!" "I'm still working underworthless people." "You'll promote, child, don't worry." "On Sunday we won't go to sister Feriha's after the picnic." "We'll go there." "I don't want Barýþ to be upset." "We won't upset him." "They stuck hammer into the tree,it said, 'it's handle's a part of my body.'" "We'll hit the road again, my dearest pasha!" "Don't hit the road,grandma;" "stay with us all the time." "Barýþ, you take them now." "Leave that plant there." "l don't want it, it makes a mess." "Leave it, I said." "Barýþ, honey, this plant's yours from now on." "You're great, grandma!" "You've learned to look after it, anyway, right?" "Of course, I have." "Barýþ, honey, this time I'll take my trunk, with me." "Why grandma?" "It'll be so from now on." "Look guys, Barýþ doesn't know about it." "Don't forget." "He thinks she'll come with us after the picnic.Ýhsan, don't drop a brick!" "Okay my dearwife, ohh!" "Okay, okay, the trunk'll be carried, come on." "Uður!" "Yes mum?" "What about the land sale, son?" "Mum, shall we sell that land and rent a place for you, ha?" "Yes grandma, you and me, we can live on our own." "We'll be one day, Barýþ, we'll be one day." "Uður, sell the land and pay your debts!" "This is the end of discussion!" "OK, mum." "I went beyond the garden wall." "Ýhsan!" "What?" "Shut up, Ýhsan!" "Take and eat it!" "Eat it!" "What's the matter guys, brighten up!" "Hold on." "Now I want to do something which has engulfed in me since my youth..." "My Sümbül, play that song: 'My life will come to an end loving you'!" "OK granny." ""My life will come to an end loving you." "My life will come to an end loving you." "My soul will fade away only with your love." "My soul will fade away only with your love." "Now, I'd like to present you our newcomers." "Retired teacher Mrs Adviye Ýpekçioðlu." "Please, ma'am." "And retired judge Mr Rýfat lþýk." "Please come here, sir." "And now we'll leave you to one of Mrs Adviye's gramaphone records of tango." "We're inviting the couples who'd like to dance, to the dance floor." "Will you please be so kind to dance with me, ma'am?" "With pleasure, sir." "Where did mum learn to dance so nicely, sister?" "How could I know that, Sonay?" "Honestly, even I can't dance like this, sister!" "You're dancing very well, Mrs Adviye." "You too, sir" "Aunt Nihal, I don't want you to get divorced from my uncle." "I love both of you very much." "We love you very much, too, dear Barýþ." "Good night." "Thank you very much, Mr Rýfat, wouldn't you join us?" "No, no, thank you, I don't want to disturb you." "Hello." "Hello, wouldn't you join us, sir?" "No, no, no." "You, you are terrifýc, madam." "Thank you." "A real gentleman, bless him." "Mum." "Honestly, you're a sharp old bird!" "Mum, I haven't seen you dancing before." "You mean, you've seen her singing before?" "This cakes's very nice." "Uður!" "Yes mum?" "Did you love "that" woman?" "I thought you forgot that, mum." "Mum knows what to forget and what to remember." "I got excited as I hadn't been for a long time, mum." "But it didn't last long... I realized that I loved Nihal in a special manner." "Yourwife's a nice person, Uður." "Find a way to redeem yourself!" "I appreciate your love for yourwife, Murat." "But, aren't you a bit much overwhelmed?" "You have a problem, Feriha." "Ýhsan's cheating on me, mum!" "Son of a bitch!" "On one hand, I've got used to living comfy, I don't want to spoil my order." "On the other hand I'm offended, mum." "Divorce that scumbag, sister!" "You're a grownup, Feriha." "You can make the best decision." "You should give Yaðýz a second thought my girl, you love each other." "I have a friend, mum!" "You didn't let me go out for dinner,remember." "That's him." "This is a 'Blond hobgoblin' my girl!" "We've known the 'black hobgoblin', the 'blond' one must be your latest invention." "Congratulations mum, honestly, it just fýts him well!" "Just for once, try to appreciate something I've done, mum; just for once!" "Come on in." "Put them over there." "Murat, come on son." "Come on my girl." "Sonay." "I was unfair to you, Uður." "You were always struggling for good deeds." "Now I'm realizing..." "Never mind, mum!" "I'm sorry." "Mum, please!" "Uður, don't make me angry, and take that." "Byebye, mum!" "Take care, son." "What can I do, brother; shall I divorce her?" "Don't divorce her,imbecile, don't divorce her." "Now, yourwife can be happy." "Was it my wife who found the nursing home?" "Hey, hold on a second !" "So what?" "Are you laying the blame on me?" "Has yourwife ever come and ask how we are doing, just for once?" "At least, you shouldn't have let this happen,sister!" "Don't shake out my nerves!" "Don't be silly,Murat!" "Allright, allright, cut it out!" "OK" "Don't be silly." "So, we were fated to end up here, my dearest pasha." "Ohh, come off it, mum!" "is this the right time for that?" "Please stay there, stay there, wait, I'm coming!" "Doctor." "Adviye Ýpekçioðlu?" "is she staying here?" "l hope she recovers soon." "Thank you" "Don't worry." "She overcame the attack." "She'll recover in a day or two." "She asked me to give these keys to Barýþ." "l'm her mother, I can take them." "Please let me know, when he comes." "Well, may I see her?" "Just two minutes." "Wear these overshoes,there are coveralls inside." "Brother!" "Only one person." "OK, I'll go in." "Mum!" "Mum!" "Mum!" "Barýþ." "Mum, please don't do that." "Barýþ, shouldn't see you like this." "OK OK, I'll fetch him." "What's up?" "She wants Barýþ." "So she talks?" "Yes, yes." "May I go in?" "Please, we shouldn't wear down our patient, any more." "One visitor's enough." "Dad?" "Don't worry." "She overcame the attack." "Sister Nihal." "Could you bring Barýþ?" "She wants Barýþ." "is Adviye Ýpekçioðlu staying here?" "Wellcome, sister." "Where's everybody?" "They're over there." "Barýþ dear, your grandma's sleeping now, so don't be afraid, OK?" "Don't touch anything in there." "Thank you." "Grandma." "Grandma." "I'll count up to three, grandma, you'll wake up at three!" "One." "Two." "Two and a half, grandma." "Oh, two and a half, grandma!" "Two and a half, grandma!" "'Jerk's come, grandma, open your eyes!" "Please grandma!" "Please!" "Ýhsan" "What?" "Will you pull over?" "What's up?" "Will you stop for a second?" "Feriha, I have a lot to do, for god's sake, I get to be at a meeting in time after the hospital!" "I said, pull over." "Who's in your life?" "Who's that woman?" "What's the problem, Feriha, for god's sake?" "We've been getting by nice and neatly, you know!" "We can talk about how to prepare a report sometime, if you like." "Later, it might be helpful." "How's your mum ?" "She's fýne, seems she's recovered." "I hope you benefýt from it." "l hope you recover soon." "Thank you." "You wait outside, I'm coming right away." "Certainly, Mr Uður." "Mum, please..." "...with this money..." "Uður." "Pay your debts." "l'll go back to the nursing home." "But mum." "Allright, mum." "Have you been seeing Nihal?" "I've been trying mum but she's very stubborn." "Keep on trying, son!" "Drink yourfruit juice." "Berrin?" "Shall we visit my mum, after the breakfast?" "But darling, didn't we visit her yesterday?" "!" "Besides, she was very well." "Yes dad, didn't we visit her yesterday?" "!" "Yes dad, didn't we see her yesterday?" "!" "Not 'her', 'my mum', 'my mum'!" "Get ready, at once!" "Breakfast." "Get ready!" "You too!" "Grandma, Zeynep's going to come to us, tomorrow." "How are you mummy?" "l'm fýne, my girl." "Grandma, I don't want this trunk key, I want you." "Grandma, don't go to Aunt Feriha's after the hospital, come to us." "Barýþ, dear." "When I come out of here, I'll go to the nursing home." "Why?" "I'm going to live there from now on." "And you'll come there when you miss me, I'll be more comfortable there." "You're lying!" "l'm not!" "You are!" "l'm not!" "You're lying!" "Barýþ!" "Barýþ" "She's lying!" "As soon as we get there, you will kiss not Mrs Adviye's but 'My mum's hand!" "I don't kiss her hand, she doesn't like me, dad." "She calls me 'Elizabeth the second' dad!" "And she calls me 'Catherina', dad!" "And she calls me 'imbecile', so what?" "If I'm 'Elizabeth the second', who's the fýrst, dad?" "If you don't kiss your granny's, your mum's hand, you can't see Murat again!" "lt's forbidden to bring flowers..." "Cut it out,my." "Come on, get in, get in." "Stop it!" "Sit down!"

"Yes, granny, you'll come to us." "Basmala!" "Come on, dear Barýþ, your grandma's coming out of the hospital today." "...she wants you to come, too." "OK then, I'm going." "Open the door if your Aunt Sevim comes but don't open to anybody else." "OK?" "So, you're starting the swimming course, tomorrow?" "Get your notebook and draw some pictures, right?" "Come on in, Mr Rýfat, come on in, sir!" "I'm glad you're fýne, you scared us." "Thank you very much, Mr Rýfat, I hope it's over." "You're very polite, Mr Rýfat." "You deserve much better things, Mrs Adviye." "Thank you." "Come on in." "I won't come in, thank you." "I'd invite you to tea, later in the day." "Thank you very much, Mr Rýfat, with pleasure." "See you, Mrs Adviye." "See you." "Well... I'd like to recite a poem to you, Mrs Adviye." "Don't trouble yourself, Mr Rýfat!" "There can't be any trouble if you're concerned." "I don't know what kind of a spell did fate cast on my heart" "While destroying my love, fate's given me lots of tears" "While the lions are falling to pieces suffering from my clutches" "Fate has made me a slave to someone with very beautiful eyes" "By the Sultan Yavuz Selim." "See you Mrs Adviye!" "See you!" "I don't know what to say my dearest pasha!" "Barýþ dear, you may not go today, if you don't want to." "I can take a day off from the offýce, so we can have breakfast together, Ok?" "Barýþ your grandma herself wanted to go to the nursing home." "You don't like to idle away time!" "Thank you very much, my girl." "Nihal!" "Yes mum?" "Do you love your husband?" "I do." "Then, you should learn to forgive, my girl!" "Look." "Come on, let's water grandma's plant." "Here you are, dear.." "Barýþ, guess what I thought!" "Shall we get a friend for this plant?" "Put it over there." "Are you hungry?" "No." "I mean, yes." "I don't know if I'm hungry." "Come on in, Mrs Adviye, come on in!" "Please, take a seat Mrs Adviye!" "What would you like to drink?" "Tea, coffee?" "Later, Mr Rýfat. I'd like to request from you to do something for me." "Certainly, it'll be my pleasure!" "I want to prepare my will." "Could you help me?" "Well of course but, is it the right time to do that?" "It's very important, Mr Rýfat." "Come on, Barýþ dear." "Come on, eat something, sweety, please." "Mr Rýfat, I shared all my property equally between my children." "I'm left with only the trunk in my room and the things in it." "Everything in the trunk will be left to my grandson Barýþ." "Allright, ma'am." "Perhaps, you spare a hankerchief for me." "One." "Two." "Barýþ?" "Where to?" "Three." "Four." "Five!" "Barýþ." "Barýþ shall we go to your grandma?" "One." "Two." "Three." "Hello mummy," "Hello." "Mum, you must come back home." "Barýþ's been very badly influenced." "He keeps on counting all the time. I'm very frightened." "The home isn't a bad place as I expected." "It's possible to carry on living here." "Mum, please!" "Sonay, please, I'm very busy nowadays;" "Don't engage me in anything." "Hello?" "Yaðýz, Barýþ's very bad, can you come over here?" "He doesn't react to anything." "Barýþ." "Shall we go to swimming,son?" "I can stay if you like." "No, there's no need, I can manage." "It's all my fault." "He's not bad, don't worry." "They called me from the offýce, I'll be back in an hour or two." "Okey dear." "We appoint you as Middle East Representative, Mrs Sonay." "How come, I thought that position was given to Mrs Didem?" "Yes, it was so but then we decided that you were more qualifýed." "Your speaking English as well as French proved to be effective too." "There'll be a remarkable increase in your salary." "And since you'll often go abroad..." "Excuse me." "And all the expenses will be met by the company." "Thank you, mum!" "Mum, I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Your 'washbelly' wants you to forgive her." "Take it easy, my girl." "Mum, please come to us." "No,no, not for Barýþ, I want this for myself." "I'm sorry, mum, I'm sorry." "Please, and I don't want you to go to the others, come to us and stay with us, please." "'Without wrangling, there's no combining!" "'" "How'll we transport the trunk?" "That's easy!" "Mum!" "I fell in love with Zeynep again, grandma!" "Do you hear me, grandma?" "What time is it, my child?" "It's two, I told you;" "don't ask me every now and then!" "Hello, this is retired judge Rýfat lþýk." "I'd like to talk to Mrs Adviye." "One minute." "'Real gentleman's calling grandma!" "What's up, grandma?" "Nothing, my child." "You tell him, 'my grandma'll call you later.'" "My grandma'll call you later." "Allright, sir, have a good day." "Barýþ. I think, I'll sleep." "Don't sleep, grandma, I'll be very frightened." "Don't be frightened my lad call your mum right away;" "tell her, my grandma's asleep.." "OK, grandma." "I'll sleep with you, too." "What was her name, for god's sake?" "Çiðdem , daddy." "Roasted peanut, she's roasted peanut!" "Sümbül, my girl, come and play a record in the gramaphone." "My life will end by loving you." "My life will end by loving you." "My soul will fade away only with your love"
