" Coffee." " Inspector?" " Lemonade." "Two bottles." "Mint and strawberry flavors." "Sure." "Today, you are meeting a great man." "Take it as your reward." "I hope you are not one of those who wouldn't enjoy the king's company." "Have you ever read Calila e Dimna?" "It has many salutary tales." "I don't even read papers in full." "I only read the highlights." "I never read books." "Perhaps it is because of my unfulfilled childhood wishes." "When I was a child, I always wished to have a school backpack." "Here you go sir." "Hot coffee." "And chilled lemonade." "I choose our own drinks over this colorful water." "I have no idea what is in those bottles." "Human blood." "Humans and their words!" "Living people either talk or eat to show they are still breathing." "In any case, it's better to share feelings rather than eat junk food." "Tell me about your sweet childhood memories." "Even when I was a kid," "I was a little man and not a child." "My childhood was full of struggle and difficulty for making ends meet." "I used to hide under an arch." "I was fed up with police guards." "I had to either run away from them forever or have them under command." "The second way was better." "So I became a police man." "In order to enter the police department," "I used the pantry window." "Just like a mole cricket." "It appears that you have spent your childhood in a bed of roses." "Mole crickets are found in canals." "Before that, I had hurt my leg in a fight with the stray dog in the area... over the leftovers of the sheep food restaurant." "I used to be treated kindly by police guards every time I bought them... matches and cigarettes limping here and there without getting tipped." "That was how I was put in charge of that pantry." "Soon after, I got my hands on prison's pantry by bribing people." "I knew thieves better than police guards." "I got close to the prisoners and worked as a mole for the police." "Then I was employed at security administration and started... dealing with confidentiality orders." "My mother worked for an Egyptian tailor before she married my father."

"My mother started making clothes for women and the tailor made a fortune." "However, his wife was a jealous woman." "My mother was supposed to be a servant there." "The Egyptian tailor found a clumsy man who was not mentally stabled." "The man married my mother." "My father was all skin and bones." "He had yellow eyes and blue lips." "There was this day when I woke up with the screams of the tailor's wife." "She was insulting my father that his wife finally fooled her husband." "My father kept coughing as he used to smoke hookah." "My mother was gone to Cairo with the Egyptian tailor." "We neither received a letter nor anything else from her." "My father was once sitting near the pool washing his face." "I had climbed a tree to bring mulberry leaves for my silkworms." "The tailor's wife threw my father's dirty mattress in the street and started... calling him names." "Then she put hot coals in his shirt and tried to beat me up." "I jumped down on the flowerbed to run away." "My father went to the street." "He dragged his mattress under the shade of a tree and lied down." "Passer-bys thought he's a corpse." "They kept throwing money on him." "But my father wasn't dead." "He had finally found a job after a long time." "He became the beggar of the area." "My parents were both disgraces." "Back then, as an innocent kid, I could not tolerate that much humiliation." "You never saw your father again?" "There was this day in the year cholera outbreak occurred when..." "I passed by our alley." "Nobody recalled me." "I saw people putting my father's mattress on fire." "The same old dirty mattress." "His dead body was already taken away before I arrived." "Haven't you heard of the tailor's wife?" "I heard that she went insane after my father's death." "They say she climbed up the same tree my dad used to lie under, and started singing." "She sang for so long that they had to take her to a lunatic asylum." "Hello." "Good day." " Hello again." " Hello." "Master Mozaffar is waiting for you." " Thank you." " You're welcome." "Thank you." "Good day." "Please." "This way please." "Why are you standing here?" "Back to work." "At your service Your Majesty." " Have a seat." " You have the permission." "Thank you." "What did you do sheriff?" "We're full handed Master." "Well, he deserves to gain everything with that extra finger of his." "Now take the jewelry back to its owner." "Lady Amin Aqdas is waiting in the car in front of the door." "You look at animals more than you look at me." "I carry jewelry and they carry thorns." "What you have lost is not thorn but jewelry." "That piece of jewelry was a part of me." "Like a bell on a camel." "It was not an ornament but my identity." "My glory and magnificence." "A bell prettier than those on camels." "A red gem bigger than a fingernail covered with gold." "This is not my bell." "Like all the things in my mother's house," "My bell smelled of her, smelled of kindness." "That bell was the very thing which connected me to my mother." "From childhood to youth." "All rise!" "Sit down." "Amin Aqdas Amini." "And then I was ready to depart." "I am leaving mother." "Make this departure easy for me." "I still feel attached to you." "What can I do?" "I have not been fed with dry milk." "Let me go and take your eyes off me mother." "Farewell." "Stealing pieces of jewelry which were all my memories was not a robbery." "It was a worse crime Inspector." "Killing all those memories." "Put this back around the princess's neck." "This six-fingered inspector is a tricky man in the security administration." "Nothing will be hidden from you." "The necklace was found around a princess's neck." "He removed the necklaces from her neck so very professionally." "You are exaggerating about it." "You always go to extremes." "And that is why you are so successful in your current position." "Our government likes exaggeration." "This inspector of yours is nothing but a weed." "He grows fast but will never be a rose." " Wild plants grow fast?" " They are good for nothing." "Jack-of-all-trades, master of none." "Not everybody cares about future." "There he comes." "I am sure he does not have good news for us." "Unfortunately, the special piece of jewelry was not among these sets." "Strange puzzle!" "Who could pick and steal from the sets?" "Oh!" "Pick and steal!" "Nice phrase." "The pick of the bunch goes to the boss." "So little things could be picked and stolen by his inferiors." "Inferiors like a police guard." "I'm sorry." "What happened?" "I caught you red-handed." "How dare you pick and steal from me?" "Pick and steal, Inspector?" "I thought you were Rajabali." "Rajabali asked for leave this morning." "I'm not sure whether or not his paper is signed." "Where can I find him now, Sergeant?" "If Master Nayeb signed his paper, he must be on his way to Lavasan right now." "I need to get there before the dark." "Right away." "You will have it in less than 3 minutes." "Watch the shoulders." "All right." "Careful." "I am." "What happened?" " Get the hell out." " Let me finish ironing this first." "I will take care of it." "Get the hell out." "Go on." "Come in sir." "Sorry I'm wearing underwear only." "Only a pair of ruby earrings." "They are safe." "Give me a chance and I will hand them to you sir." " Are they in Lavasan?" " No sir, they are in Tehran." "Who let you know I took leave?" "Hurry up before you go on leave for good." "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Stop right there in front of" "Grand Hotel." "Please." " Are we here?" " Yes." "Thank you." "Reza, will you wait here or are you coming with your grandfather?" "The conversation between old people will bore you in there." " I'm going inside with you." " You will feel restrained." "You will have to keep silent until we are done with our conversation." "Here, you can sit down, stand up, watch the street and buy yourself lemonade." "Anything you want." "You can even buy yourself nuts, frozen drinks, donuts and everything." " Here is 2 Rials." " 2 Rials?" "Do not spend it all." "Spend half of it on refreshments and save the rest." "." "Okay grand pa." " Good boy." "Brother, keep an eye on my boy." "I will be right back." "No worries." "Go ahead." " Be a good boy." " Sure grandpa." "Let me help you." "Watch your steps." " You should feed your horse." " Sure." " Watch your steps." " I will not be back earlier than an hour." "I fooled the kid." " Hello sir." " Hello dear." " I am meeting Master Mozaffar." " Please go ahead." "He is usually at the café at this time." "Go inside." "On your right." "This is for you." "It is a mere nothing." "Thank you." "My dear, the kid in that carriage is my grandson." "Keep an eye on him and do not let the carriage driver take him." " I'm afraid he kidnaps the child." " Don't worry at all." "I will keep a close eye on the carriage." "Please go inside." "No worries." "Watch the stairs please." "Master." "What would you like to have?" " Special ice-cream." " Two of them?" "Three." "All flavors in different bowls." "Cream, coffee and strawberry." "Right away." "After His Majesty's trip to Turkey, people were ordered to wear hats." "Master Golbahar is still faithful to Pahlavi Hat." "However I am always miles away." "And left out!" "I remember back then when" "Pahlavi Hat was in style..." " People were actually forced to wear it." " That is right." "One of the hat makers created something new." "He used to attach brims to hats at that time." "His business was flourishing." "He would get half a Rial to make a Pahlavi" "Hat out of a Turkish hat in a blink of an eye." "My wife actually played a better trick." "She used buttons to attach a brim to my hat." "I button the brim in public places and unbutton it at home." "This innocent society is always taken in, no matter what." "On the contrary, the society is only faking it." "Right." "People are masters in their places living their own ways." "These people have never been cringed to power." "They have actually kept their faith and beliefs during all historical events." "You are right." "But in appearance they are all obedient citizens." "And that is how they have the governments overthrown." "You must remember how you brought up an excuse not to release a gramophone record." "The main purpose of keeping songs on gramophone records was actually... protecting the sound of" "Persian instruments... which was done previously in England," "France and Germany by Persian artists." "Actually it was only you who refused to cooperate." "Then a branch of "His Master's Voice"" "was established in Mumbai." "It made us think you might prefer a trip to India over traveling to Europe." "We assumed you might accept the invitation." "Yet again you made an excuse." "Separating from my grandkids, the children of my daughter... who was cut off in the prime of life was somehow impossible." "Today, when your messenger arrived and invited me to Grand Hotel... one of them insisted on accompanying me." "Now he is waiting in the carriage in front of the door." " Master Golbahar?" " Yes?" "There is no need for being so considerate." "You and your family take priority over everybody in this hall." "You are too kind." " Please invite your grandson inside." " I am not standing on ceremony." "It is better for himself to wait outside." "Kids do like carriage rides more" "Than serious conversations." "He shall have more fun in the carriage out there." "Mohammad Hassan?" "Take some ice-cream to" "Master's grandson." "Sure." "It is true when they say people are greedy." "Please take two." "The carriage driver might want some too." "Here you are." "This is sent by your grandfather." "No, thanks." "I've bought myself one already." "One of them is for you." "Thank you sir." "But I have never tasted such things." "I don't even know its name." "Anyway, I will leave the tray here." "Maybe you will have a craving for it." " It tastes better with wafers." " Enjoy." "I like it better with wafers." "The contract for printing the book is ready." "It will be signed by the manager of the corporation and you." "At any price you consider." "After my daughter died of tuberculosis..." "I could not let my grandkids be raised up by a stepmother." "With the agreement of my son-in-law who consequently remarried..." "I decided to look after the kids myself." "A while ago, their grand mother departed this life as well and joined her daughter." "The very day my daughter was buried, my wife bought a grave next to her daughter's." "The mother and daughter could not get separated." "To these kids, I was more like a grandmother than a grandfather." "Cooking, cleaning and washing the dishes and their clothes never even let me... visit the shrine here let alone travel to India." "In that case, we should meet him in his house the next times... so we can be of less trouble." "Our aim is to have the book Tunes and Voices by Abdolqader Maraqi published... in order to introduce today's masters and the principals of old music." "Old wise people know all about henchmen out there." "They have not even forgotten me and my grandmother." "Nice colorful ice cream!" "It's very delicious." "I wish I had yours." "Mozaffar Library has succeeded to find to more copies of this valuable book... in Netherlands and Istanbul which have been photographed by our students." "The copies will be offered to you." "Moreover, there is an article by" "Abdolqader in the Encyclopedia Islamica." "Please remind me to offer you a translated copy of the related chapter." "The good thing about foreign researches is that they are done based on... reliable sources using criticism of science." "Reliable sources using" "However, this criticism lacks illumination and spirituality." "In this regard, your delightful presence will complete the whole thing." "Grand Hotel." "Can I help you?" " This is Amin Aqdas." " Hello my lady." " Is Master there?" " Yes he is." " Of course he is in a meeting." " I have news for him." " Is it urgent?" " Yes." "Sure my lady." "Hope it is good news." " Of course it is." " Very nice." " I need to talk to Master." " I will put you through right away." "Yes." "Please hold." "Father, such a lucky man you are." "Your sweetheart's stolen jewelry has been found." "I was connected to my mother's house once again." "My bell was ringing once more." "I am so glad to hear the news." "My dear friend, why are you sitting all alone?" "Join me and Master Golbahar." "I was saying." "A few minutes ago, I heard good news which made me overjoyed." "It is the same feeling I had on the other night in Shemiran." "That magnificent night." "Birds were delighted by Master's voice." "The nightingale was singing." "And the lunar was chanting." "My old hands are rusty as it has been long since I touched an instrument." "Your voice should not necessarily be accompanied by an instrument." "In the words of Abdolqader;" "The human pharynx is the best of all instruments." "The human pharynx is an instrument made by the Lord." "So the sound is much nicer than any other instrument." "Master Golbahar, sing that song with the poem of Malek Al-Sho'ara." "You must be aware that the song has been banned under His Majesty's order." " The composer was sent into exile." " Go ahead." "I will take care of His Majesty." "There is no need to worry." "We are safe here." "But..." "Thank God there is no police man here either." "Go ahead and sing it Master."
