" How much is it to Bostancı?" " Four lira 75." "Umut, you want some olive oil on it?" " What, on the tomatoes?" " Yes." "Sure." "Hey, the kid's just found some money." "Get me a glass of water, will you, honey?" "By the way, we're out of water." "We need to get water." "OK." "Or you can get it while I go to bed." "Forget that!" "We'll go together." "Where is it?" "Which money is it?" "What do you mean?" "How much money is in there?" "Didn't you say the money for Bülent was in here too?" "It is in there somewhere." "Try the other pocket." "So this money is ours, right?" "What about this?" "That's for Bülent." "The plastering will finish on Monday." "So they'll start painting on Monday or Tuesday." "The doors should have been changed before plastering." "But mum said they didn't need changing." "The place will be ready in 10-15 days." "That means the middle of Ramadan." "No problem." "We can wait that long to move" " Shall I give you the money?" " Of course!" " Is this for Friday?" " Friday and Saturday plus 25." "OK." "I don't want to get involved." "It's between the two of you." "But I'd rather talk to you about it." "I'll tell mum to give the flat to you instead of a stranger." "Right." "That's all I'm asking." "But can you afford 400 lira?" "Fuck you." "Motherfucker." "Faggot." "What did Bülent have to say?" "The usual." "Idiot!" "I hate people like that who are obsessed with money." "They're not obsessed." "Money's their "God"." "They call themselves Muslim hadji." "Pilgrims, my ass!" "Of course they're not." "They may have been to Mecca but they have no conscience." "I don't want to move upstairs any more." "I want another place." "It's too expensive, honey." "You mean we'll always live cooped up like this?" " What else can we do?" " We've been here two years." "But when we moved in you said we'd only stay a year." "You're right, honey." "But do we have the money to move?" "If he kicks us out of here he'll kick me out of my job too." "You think it's easy to find work?" "He can't just kick us out." "Roses!" "Beautiful roses!" "Here you go." "Here you go." "Here you go." "Roses!" "Beautiful roses!" "Roses!" "Gift roses!" "Beautiful roses!" "Here you go." "Beautiful roses!" "Beautiful roses!" "Beautiful roses!" " We were going to listen to music!" " We still are." " Forget it!" "We have to go." " Shut up, will you?" "What's the hurry?" " Let's listen to music." " Forget him." "We will." ""Some arabesque"." " Hey, Fiko!" "You hear that music?" " Huh?" " You hear how he plays?" " Yeah, it rocks!" "We smoke too much because of you." "You wanted to tell a joke?" "Not anymore." "Get up from there!" "Go somewhere else!" "OK." "When we're done smoking." " Smoke somewhere else!" "Off you go!" " Set the timer and we'll go." "Smoke some other place." "Shall we go?" "Get up." "Go away!" "Go away!" "Yes, yes, go that way." "Goodbye!" "Shame on you!" "The place my daughter got a job turned out to be the organ mafia." "We haven't heard from her since." "But as I keep saying, trust the Turkish police." "There's a very easy number to remember." "Just call 155." "My leg hurts." "I've got cramp." "Stand on it." "That helps." "Actually, they say you should stick a needle in." " In where?" " Wherever the cramp is." "Aren't you supposed to do that in water?" "Sure." "Because you can't swim when you have cramp." " Have you ever tried?" " No." "I've only been in the sea once." "Hello?" "Hello?" " Hi, mum." "How are you?" " How are you, son?" "I'm fine." "But I'm ironing right now." "Can I call you back later?" " Hello?" " My precious son..." "Mum?" "Hello?" "I'm ironing a shirt for work." "I'll call you back later." "OK?" "OK." "Murat!" "Come here please!" " Can you massage my back right here?" " What were you up to last night?" "I had a wild night." " Pull me towards you." " But I don't want to cripple you!" "There's a woman on her phone back there holding up all the traffic." "And she goes to me, "Do you realise who I am?"" " What colour car?" " That one over there." "OK." "We'll take care of it." "Do something, please!" "For the love of God!" "OK." "Move along now." "Don't wait here." "Pull over here, please." " Your documents." " Wait." "I'll call you back." "That'll be a fine for using your mobile phone." "OK, I know it's illegal but I had to talk." " And you were using the emergency lane." " But I had to." " What's going on?" " It's the woman on her mobile." "We just had a complaint about you." "Did you stop back there?" " No!" "I was just using my phone." " A bus driver complained about you." " What's your police ID number, officer?" " Excuse me?" " Look, I'm a congressman's daughter." " Take her documents." "Your documents, madam." "Clear out of here, guys!" "Right now!" "Off the road!" "Don't go out in the road, guys!" "This is the last time I warn you." " Good morning." " Morning." "Chat to this one." "Not that one." "But I fancy this one more." " This one's better looking." " Don't ruin my chances." "So look, have that one." " But I want this one." "I fancy her." " No, no." "Forget her." " Ask them over." " How can I?" "This one's in Ankara." "Which one's here?" "OK." "Ask her over then." "Go out for dinner." "Watch a movie." "Let's see who we have here." "Smell each other, see each other." "This internet thing is not..." "She's maybe cutting her toenails as you chat." "How would you know?" "!" "Get out of here!" "You're such a kid dealing with these things." " What did I do?" "The girl sent it." " You're a disgrace to policemen!" "You don't behave like a real man." "When was the last time you fucked a bitch?" "You're..." "You're some man." "It's no big deal." "Tell me." "Maybe I can help you." "I wonder if they've rented the place to someone else." " Who chose this colour for God's sake?" " Bülent's wife." " Who?" "Zeynep?" " Yes." "Say we wanted to change the colour..." "Would it be a problem?" "It might be a bit difficult." "Our place downstairs was green." "We put on two coats of paint." "Bülent's house is green too!" "They're obsessed with green." "Green is a Muslim colour." " What do you do for a living?" " I drive a shared taxi." " You?" " I'm a babysitter." " Do you have social security cover?" " No..." "Unfortunately not." "Are you working at the moment?" "Yes, but I'm planning other stuff." "Something in the 400-500 range, right?" "Yes." "Although 400 would be better." "If anything comes up, I'll call you." "OK." "Central heating is not a must." "OK." "That makes it easier." "No, I want central heating." "I don't want any stove, gas or other." "But at least we wouldn't burn coal." "Stoves are cheaper too." "A stove is fine if the house is small." "Otherwise it's only good for one room." " Do you have a lighter?" " Yes." "HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY" "The road's closed." "Drive on." "It's closed for Republic Day." "Road closed!" "I'd give my life for you, O Motherland!" "Where's the tank?" "Happy is he who calls himself a Turk!" " You're so beautiful!" " Very marginal!" "All for the motherland!" "Right!" "And you for us!" "Hey, Ayşe!" "What are you doing there?" "We shed blood for the flag!" "They're all marching in time." "Awesome!" "I wish there was a war." "Nice, huh?" " Did you see that chick?" " The one in the taxi?" " No, in the jeep." " No." "I missed her." "A peach!" " You have eyes like a hawk!" " If I marry her, I'll do fireworks." "And you can fire into the air." "Wait, let me make a wish." "I wish that the lights turn blue." "Don't throw that shit in the sea." "Oh my God!" "Istanbul got dirty!" " Get a brush and clean it up!" " Look: "Keep the Environment Clean."" " But clean sea is nice." " Our teachers taught us that." " You went to school?" " Sure." "The teacher told me once not to spit on the environment." "What a lie!" "You never went to school." "Have you been to school then?" "Sure." "I dropped out of first grade." "But I'm awesome at reading and writing." " All you think about is horse racing!" " Sure." "That's howl learned to read." "It's like there's a horse and you can't say its name." "I don't know which horse is which." "When I'm alone I can't tell the names." "So I had to learn to read." "Like that." "So I learned to read from the horses." "I guess the fireworks will start now." "Red and white!" "Turkey's the greatest!" "Fantastic!" "How much longer can they keep this up?" "Until Turkey's bankrupt!" "They should write "Turkey" in the sky!" "Or "Republic"." "It's like the whole sky's ablaze." "I have a feeling we won't be able to move in a new flat." "We will." "But it's so expensive." "If only we'd win some money." "I played the lottery but..." ""Live once with dreams, live twice without." That's you." "No one can live without dreams." "Have dreams, but have nice ones." "Forget dreams of winning the lottery." "If we win the lottery, I'll get a villa." "A two-storey place." "Nothing huge, but big enough for us." "You'd be sure to get a huge place." "If we get a dog, he'd need space." "He'd live in the house with us." "Our problems are solved then!" "There's just the dog to get." "It's back to the same thing." "Everything depends on money." "And we don't have any." "Or else you have to get a new job." "One that pays a monthly wage." "If I moved somewhere better..." "I mean "we"." "As if I live alone!" "After watching all those amazing fireworks..." "We were having a nice time for once!" "But you ruined it in 5 minutes." "You're looking for staff, right?" "Yes." "I'll give you a form then." "Fill it out." "Your name, surname..." " Do you have a driving licence?" " No." " Have you done military service?" " No." "How about your level of education?" " I don't have any education." " No?" "Can you add up and read and write?" "You need to do that if you work here." "Sure, I can do that much." "I'm turning my web cam on." "What colour are your eyes?" "Brown." "Yours?" "Beautiful!" "Thank you." "Mine are green." "Come closer." "Yours are nicer." " How's the training going, Murat?" " Kind of tough." " My performance still sucks." " Do you watch what you eat?" "Yes, especially at night." "But things come apart at work." "Being single it's hard, of course." " Let's get you married, Murat." " I'm still young." "You sound like my mother." " Hello." " Hello." "Welcome." " I have an appointment." " Who with?" " I don't remember the name." " Please ask the information desk." "I've been babysitting for the last five or six years." "Mostly for journalists, for their kids." "People working at the big newspapers." "Where do you see yourself in future?" "That's important for us to know." "Let's say you start with a company." "What department would interest you?" "Would you want to be in accounts?" "Or maybe advertising?" "Well as I know nothing about them I can't really say." "I want an office job." "With computers." "Except I know nothing about computers." " You've never used them?" " No, never." " MSN?" " No." "I don't have a computer." " A keyboard?" " No." "You know nothing and you want a career." "Then it's best to start with MS Office." "You need to get to know a computer and learn the basic programmes such as Word, Excel, Power Point, Publisher and Outlook" "We'll fix you up with a profession here at the Bilge Adam Academy." "That could be graphic design, accounts or whatever." "But as you don't know computers you must first learn how to use them." "I can maybe switch one on." "That's all." "It's a joke, isn't it?" "Everyone uses computers and I don't have a clue." "You've haven't needed to probably, but that doesn't mean you won't now." "You must first take the Office course and learn the basics of a computer, opening/closing a computer, keyboard, internet or accounts." "You'll learn about page layout, printing and presenting information." "And courses are always project based." "You're taught in classes of 15 with the aid of overhead projectors." "Our teaching is practical based and everything the teachers do is shown on the overhead projector." "Idiot, move on!" " Hello." " Hello." "Welcome." " How are you?" " Fine thanks." "How about you?" "I'm fine thanks." " Did you find the place OK?" " Yes." "No problem." "What do you think of the view?" "Amazing." "You're the first policeman I've ever met, by the way." "There's a first time for everything." "Well, do you like your job?" "Yes, I like the job I do." "Good!" "It's tough, but I like it." " Where do you live in Istanbul?" " With my parents." " Were you born here?" " Yes." "Born and raised." " You?" "Aren't you from Istanbul?" " No." "I've been here two years." " Where were you before?" " Kayseri." " Did you say you'd be posted somewhere?" " Yes." "To the east." " Do you know exactly where yet?" " No." "But I'll probably go next year." "Do you want to go?" " Istanbul's a tough place to work." " But there's nowhere like Istanbul!" "For you maybe." "I couldn't live anywhere without sea." "But you were born here." "I wasn't." "Istanbul is the toughest city for policemen." "The east isn't worse?" "I don't think so given I'm a traffic policeman." "Is the pay good?" "I mean, you're risking your neck..." "Not great." "I have credit card debts." "I never really..." "Thank you." "Thanks." "I had no idea if policemen earned enough to get by." "Do I look like I do on web cam?" " Even prettier." " Thanks." "I guess you only saw me in profile that day." "Your hair was tied back." "No, it wasn't." "It was loose." "You're mixing me up with someone else." " No, I'm not!" " Come on!" "Thanks for the tea." "I should be going." "You haven't even finished." "Well, sorry." "But I have to go." "I won't let you go without promising a next date." "You don't get a promise so easily." "Not so easily." " How will we see other then?" " It's down to fate, Let's say." " I must go or I'll be late." " OK." " Nice to meet you." " You too." "See you again." "How many days did you work?" "I worked 10 days." "Did they pay you?" "Yes." "Forget it though." "Will you get another job?" "Sure, I'll find one." "Don't throw it there!" "What are we going to do?" "Sing "Holocaust"." "It's really cool." "We have a garden" "With flowers on one side And desert on the other" "And a rainbow right over it" "We're stuck on the border Failures in life" "Miles from anywhere And close to the underdogs" "I'm glad for a cup of coffee" "A sip of love and I'm crazy drunk" "Hey, you guardians of the military!" "What do I have except rap?" "I see you're looking for staff." " How old are you?" " Seventeen." "Have you worked anywhere before?" "Not in a high-tech place like this." "You've never worked before?" "But I know I can do it." "What about schools?" "I've never been." "You have no education." " Where are you from?" " Edirne." " Where do you live?" " Kuştepe." " So what do you do?" " We sell flowers." "On the bridge." " Which bridge?" " The Bosphorus Bridge." "Don't they give you a hard time?" "I mean, it's illegal." "You block the traffic." "Don't they warn you?" "Well, we're careful." "We do it secretly." "The traffic's bad enough as it." "Even without you people selling flowers, biscuits, water, fruits..." "Why is your performance low?" "What's your problem?" "I told you." "The engine needs fixing." "Don't give me that." "You don't look after the car." "It's filthy." " The lights don't work, the fuses..." " Everything works." " I shut down the lights." " Why?" " One of the wires has broken off." " No, they're all connected now." " Should I believe you or my eyes?" " Believe me." "I'm telling the truth." "I disconnected the wire and reconnected it again later." "There was a problem with that light." "So I took it apart and fixed it." " Why's the car so dirty?" " Well, I've cleaned it." "Fuck off!" "Don't make me crazy!" "I'm not." "If I say I've done it, I have." " The radiator grill's full of dirt." " I cleaned it Friday night." "If you saw it on Sunday, OK." " I bet you told another driver." " No." "I did the whole lot last night." " Cemile?" " Yes?" " Don't be surprised if I fire your man." " Why?" " Umut doesn't look after the car." " It's you who doesn't look after it." "Why should I look after it?" "But he cleans the car every night." "Turn up the volume." "PKK attack in southeast Turkey." " Ten soldiers are dead." " Not again!" "No, look." "Sixteen." " They brainwash them." " As if the wankers have brains to wash!" "The other day I was at this café talking before the football match." "The guy sitting next to me said he was from some place in the east." "Then out of nowhere he said the PKK wasn't a terrorist group." "I was like, "Wait!" "What's this about?"" "And he went, "They don't let Kurds and leftists be prime minister."" "What did he look like?" "He seemed like a normal kind of guy." "Not like..." "I guess he'd been to university." "He was like an ordinary guy but..." "So he didn't look like a Kurd?" "No." "Not like those rugged terrorists." "Right, but it's the way they talk that gives them away." " I said they were terrorists." " You should have punched him." "Sure, but you know the law isn't on your side." "If he talks like that, he deserves it." "What annoys me is you'd get punished for beating up a PKK member." "The wankers know what they're doing." "Right, they know how to talk." "He turned the PKK into all Kurds and then made me sound anti-Kurdish." "They're agents provocateurs." "It's not the guys in the mountains, it's these educated ones who are scary." "The wanker made me out to be an enemy!" "But you know where they messed up?" "By letting them into parliament." "To keep the EU happy." "I told him he'd been to university, and could even be an MP." "So what more?" "So he was an out and out sympathiser." "Plus he talked about "Kurdistan"." "I said there's no such place." "He said there was." "So I went, "Show me on the map."" "WE RESPECT MARTYRED SOLDIERS WE CONDEMN PKK TERRORISM" "WE WANT PEACE IN TURKEY" "No overtaking, guys!" "Stick to the one lane." "For centuries we've lived on the same land." "We believe in the same God, we pray in the same way." "We're united." "No one can divide us." "The forces trying to divide us are western imperialism and the Zionist financing behind it." "What's happened?" "All of us Turks must be aware of this and prepared against it." "I offer you my respects and trust that God will safeguard our unity." "Our martyrs are immortal!" "Our land cannot be divided!" "Our martyrs are immortal!" "Our land cannot be divided!" "Keep the PKK out of parliament!" "Here you go." "Beautiful roses!" "Here, beautiful roses." "A bargain!" "Have you got a cigarette for me?" "Thanks." "Here you go." "Bargain roses." "Beautiful roses!" " Some bigwig's coming." " The prime minister, I expect." "Here..." "Beautiful roses!" "The Eid Festival is a time for worship." "And that goes for women as well as men." "I'm not telling you what to do, but sharing with you a tenet of Islam." "DEAREST MUM," "WITH MY LOVE AND BEST WISHES..." "Take the small bottles, too." " What's that?" " Flowers!" "We could sell them." "I've cut my hand on something." "Look, there's a gash." "It's from that glass." "OK, we're done with this bin." "Out of the way while I close the lid!" "We won't find any by hanging around the neighbourhood the whole time." "You have to go out looking." "They won't come looking for you." "There's no girls left in the neighbourhood." "So let's look somewhere else." "Where?" "Taksim?" " Sure." "Why not?" " Huh?" " Let's try Taksim." " Where's the money?" " We'll earn it, then go." " We can't even afford cigarettes yet." "We'll save up." "Around 50-60 lira would do." "We could just give her our money box." "Look, we'd get to lose our virginity!" "Don't say there's no money for that." "But there isn't." "How about we go this week?" "Let's do it." "This wall's great, honey." "Imagine a giant TV screen on it." "Then we could sit and watch it from a sofa right there." " I don't want to imagine it." " How do you mean?" "It's pointless." "Why should I think about it?" "For one thing the rent's too high." " They want 650 lira." " Can't we afford that?" "We both work after all." "But it's not just the rent." "There'd be other expenses as well." "Plus it would be hard for you getting to work and back." "Then the whole area outside is a construction site." "OK, let's say we rented the place." "Would the rent go down because of the construction noise?" " No, there's no arrangement like that." " Why not?" "I've never seen or heard of anything like it." "Anyway, 650 is normal for this flat." "It's first-floor with central heating." "For that price, you'd be lucky to find a newly done up flat." "And this has three bedrooms, it's 120 m2 and like new!" " But this counts as ground-floor." " Absolutely not!" "It's first-floor." "The building has an elevator." "You'd never find anything like it." " You always do the same thing." " Don't speak to me." " Where are you from?" " Kayseri." " You?" " I'm from Adana." " I told you that on the internet." " Ooops." "Sorry!" "Adana..." "Where in Kayseri are you from?" "Pınarbaşı." "Actually, it's pretty close to Adana." "Yes." "Though how would I know?" "I've never been." "But you must have seen it on the map." " Have you heard of the Avşars?" " No." "What is an Avşar?" "There's lots of them in Adana." "That's why I asked." " I'm an Avşar." " So your surname's Avşar?" "No, Avşar's an old Turkish tribe." "We hail from the royal Turks." " So you're from a noble family." " Yes." "The Avşars are one of 22 Turkic tribes." "During the reign of Abdülhamit..." " Have you heard of Dadaloğlu?" " Yes, I've heard of him." "He led the Avşars to Adana from somewhere near Pınarbaşı." "That's why there are so many Avşars in Adana." "And my ancestors stayed in Pınarbaşı." "I don't know." "You'll find out in time." "I'll tell you all about it." "Hey, where are the girls?" " What the fuck is that?" " Fuck me!" "It's fucking huge!" "How do we get out of here?" "Isn't it a dead-end?" "How the fuck did they build that?" "What the fuck!" "Which way?" " You want to go in?" " No." ""The Galata Tower"." "Come on, let's go." "On the morning of Tuesday 29th May 1453 the Genoese gave Sultan Mehmet II the keys to the tower." "The surrender of Galata was completed on Friday 1st June." "1453?" "How many years ago was that?" "Sixty..." "Forty..." "Forty-seven?" "It's 47 years old." "Right?" "Do a left now." "Turn hard left." "Do a left!" "Left!" "Left!" " Where am I going?" " Backwards." "It's like you're really there." "Let's go." "We can look at other stuff." "Hold it, you guys!" " Turn around!" "Come back inside." " What's going on?" "Get over there!" " Should I search them?" " Sure." "Go ahead." " Turn around!" "Go on!" " But we haven't done anything." " Clear." " Clear?" "What were you doing here?" " Wandering about, having a look." " What are you smiling at?" "What's so funny?" "Why are you smiling?" " Don't come here again." " I never want to see you here again!" "Hello?" "What do you mean, I didn't leave you any money?" "Why?" "Isn't there any money at home?" "How come?" "Why..." "What do you do with the money I give you?" "What?" "Hang on." "Wait." "The police." "Hang up." "I'll call you back." "Yes?" " Hello." " Hello." "Can I see your driving licence and vehicle documents?" "Driving licence?" "That'll be a fine of 55 lira for using your mobile while driving." "OK." "Fine." "I know I was in the wrong." "Damn you, Cemile!" "If you pay the fine within 15 days you'll get a 25% discount." "OK." "Here you go." " Thanks." " Goodbye." "That's a one-way street there!" "What are you trying to do?" "Why should I slow down?" "Make up your mind what you're doing!" "Wait for me to get past." "Goddamn taxi drivers!" "When everything starts getting me down" "I can't give him anything." "I get sick the whole time from being depressed." "I've kept getting sick since I married the guy." "But he must know you can't go on like this forever." "Sure." "But he says, "You agreed to all this when we got married."" "You're kidding!" "Typical Turkish man!" ""You knew what you were in for." That's what he says." "I didn't marry him for love actually." "So how's your sex life then?" "I don't know." "I mean, it's not like I want him, like I want to have sex with him." "Come on, don't worry." "If it's such a problem for you, why do you stay married to him?" "You don't have to have this life, or stay with him." "You're still young." "Leave." "It's not such a bad thing to do." "I can't." "You know I can't live with my parents." "So don't live with your parents!" "But I'm not financially independent." "There's always got to be more." "Everything's always got to be better." "Meaning?" "Well, everything depends on money." "If you have money, you can do anything." "Right." " But you're OK." "You have money." " Yes, but I've worked hard for it." "You're making a lot of mistakes." "I keep telling you." "You give into your wife too much." "OK, she's your wife, but she needs controlling." "Don't let her trample on you because she wants a different life." "She can't keep demanding things the whole time." "People should live within their means." " You're still young." "You can work." " It's clear what I earn right now." "So she'll have to make do with that." "Here, have a chocolate." "That's your advice, huh?" "Hit her." "You're a man, aren't you?" "Women only understand a good slap." "Try being lovey-dovey and they treat you like shit." "Just forget it." "What's happening about university?" "I've been thinking about that." "It depends on military service." "Haven't you applied?" "I told you, you should switch courses." "That means doing the exams again." "So do them." "Don't try for the same course." "You keep failing." "Or they'll draft you." "You want to join the army?" "Mum wants me to do military service, get it out of the way and get married." "But I don't know." "So you're thinking about it?" "No, I don't want that, but..." " I don't see why they draft us." " What do you mean?" "We get weapons training anyway." "We can use guns in emergencies." "So what's the point in getting trained again?" " You're saying they shouldn't draft us?" " Well, why do they need to?" "Have a beer." "I'll get you one." " Go on." "It won't kill you." " No way." "I never touch the stuff." "Worried Allah will damn you?" "It's a sin, like it or not." "Don't give me that!" "Everything's a sin." " Let me get you one." " Thanks, but I won't drink it." "Don't then." "But don't pretend you're perfect." "Chatting with girls on the internet, that's OK, but alcohol..." "You cut the bread like this." "Then divide it between the bins and put one on each table." "But you have be fast about it." "OK?" "Let's see you try." "Without squashing the bread or cutting your hand." " Like this, right?" " Aha." "You'll learn." "It'll be busy." "If you don't move fast customers will be kept waiting and things will be a mess." "Don't give him too much to do today." "Just simple stuff." "He can wipe the tables, for example, or hand out water, set the tables." "Imagine someone finishes eating, clear the table, wipe it down." "Set the table with cutlery and glasses, check the bread and water." " And leave the rest to them." "OK?" " OK." "I usually help the boss by the kebab spit." "This guy here serves the food." "So like the boss said you clear the tables and check everything's there, OK?" "OK." "Take this to the guy at table six." "Fikret, put some cutlery on the table." "Get a glass." "Quick!" "Cutlery for me, too!" "I don't understand." "I told you, bring some cutlery." "Don't you understand?" " Cutlery?" " That's a knife, spoon and fork." "Ah!" "Why didn't you say so before?" "Check that table in the middle." "Clear the plates." "Oh my God!" " What happened?" " Sweep it up." "Do that when things get busy and we're done for!" "Be careful!" "If you do it again, you're out of a job before evening." "Come on!" "Faster!" "Fikret!" "Is he supposed to open that bottle with his teeth?" "OK." "Unbelievable!" "He's watching TV." "If people find something in my songs, something about love they tend to buy the albums." " My love?" " Yes?" "Heat up the soup again, will you?" "I want some more." "It's already hot." "You can't call this hot." " What do you mean?" " It's cold!" "I can't heat it up again." "Why not?" " Did you hear me?" " No." " Why can't you heat it up?" " Because." "This is all I can do right now." "I want better things too." "I want my own house too." " You say that but..." " I want everything you want." " But you don't try like I do." " So what if I did?" "Try all you like." "What does it change?" "But you're stuck in a job that's getting you nowhere." "It's hopeless driving that shared taxi." "What do you want me to do then?" "I don't know." "Get a job with a monthly wage." "OK, say I got a job like that." "How much do you think I'd earn?" "Not a lot of course, seeing you don't know anything." "Don't change the subject!" "I asked you a question." "Come on!" "If I got a job like that, they'd pay me 600 lira." "You couldn't even buy those boots you liked with that." " So I couldn't get them." " Don't complain then." "So it makes no difference if you get a regular job or stay in this one, I still can't get anything I want." "Exactly." "So keep quiet!" " So we'll end up dying in this house." " That's fine by me." "I don't have any complaints." " I'm tired anyway." " So am I." "How long has it been?" "I haven't slept for a day and a half." "I went to work at 7.00 am Saturday and came back Sunday at 6.30 am." "After two hours sleep I went back again and worked right through to now." " Like it or lump it." "It's your job." " Have you heard me complaining?" "I'm not complaining." "I'm just tired." "That's all." "Go to bed then." "Is this my home or not?" "It doesn't feel like it!" "I get home and the questions start." "You can't give a person hell about something they can't change." "But maybe you can change it." "I'm just trying to encourage you." "But I'm sick of you doing that." "Sick and tired of it." "Then leave." " Why should I be the one to leave?" " Well, don't expect me to leave!" " Of course I do." " Not a chance." "How is it?" "Nice." "Aren't you going to look for another job?" "No." "Selling flowers is great." "I mean, it's better." "You don't have to get up early." "Are you going to do it all your life?" " Selam aleykum." " Aleykum selam." " Can I get a lottery ticket?" " Here you go." "How are you doing, mum?" "I'm fine." "I'm sitting by the shore." "I thought I'd give you a call." "I really miss you too, mum." "I miss the village." "I'll take a holiday and come to see you." "Say hello to them too."
