"Whom are you looking for?" "A man called Ali Riza." "He used to run a coffeehouse for truck drivers." "A Macedonian migrant." "An old friend of my father." "They gave me this address, but no one answers the door." "Do you know where he is?" "He moved a long time ago." "A long time?" "Yes." "Why are you looking for him?" "I will find him and through him I will find someone else." "l don't know where he moved." "Should I go back then?" "No. I don't know where he lives, but I think he is now an imam." "What?" "Imam at a mosque." "Imam?" "Yes." "Either as an imam or hodja." "Could it be another Ali Riza?" "Mine is a smuggler." "Yes, smuggler." "He repented." "It is the same Ali Riza." "Which mosque then?" "l don't know." "Too many mosques in Istanbul." "You'll search the ones in Suriçi." "How many could there be?" "There are 166 mosques." "No, no one said anything, I read it on the sign."

"I will sleep in the car." "I'm too exhausted to go to a hotel." "I will come back here to a small mosque for the morning prayer anyway." "Should I return if I can't find him tomorrow, too?" "We don't even know if he is still alive. I have searched him a lot." "What?" "What does father say?" "Please tell me." "Uncle?" "Hello?" "Selim..." "How can I find a Selim in Istanbul?"

"May God accept your prayer." "Thanks." "Are you Ali Riza?" "Yes." "You are?" "Yes." "Who are you?" "Sakip from Bitola." "My father, Suat sent me." "Suat?" "Which Suat?" "Trucker Suat." "Trucker?" "He used to steer trucks." "Though he quit 20 years ago." "You don't remember him?" "No." "Well, you turned out to be an imam instead of a coffeehouse keeper." "This is all wrong." "l am not an imam." "That's wrong also?" "What is it that you want?" "I am looking for Selim." "Father told me to bring Selim." "My father is dying; on deathbed." "Told me to bring Selim." "I said my uncle can do that." "That he'll know better." ""No," he said. "lt is your duty." "Go find my friend Ali Riza, he'll tell you where Selim is."" "His mother's name is Fatos."

"No. I said he can't die." "You want him to die?" "God help me, heavens no!" "What?" "l know you found the right path." "You may say that." "I wouldn't want to..." "I mean here by a mosque, but..." "What's that?" "For you." "Father made it." "Put that away." "lt is for you." "Don't make me start now!" "What should I do with it?" "Put that away." "For me, huh?" "Did Suat make it?" "Yes, he did." "Fine." "Still put it away." "Where is Selim?" "Look ahead!" "Run back!" "Shoot!" "Ground the ball!" "Well done." "Bravo!" "Way to go." "Very nice, boy." "Selim, come on now, come on." "Coming." "Come on guys." "Put on your helmet, boy." "Don't ride bike without it." "Be careful." "Ride slow." "Be wise." "Atta boy." "Got a minute, bro?" "Yes, bro." "There is a Selim around here." "is that you?" "Why do you ask?" "What's it to you?" "is it you or not?" "Who are you?" "Sakip from Bitola." "The coach called out to you as Selim." "But I still wanted make sure." "Are you Selim?" "Yes, I am." "You are?" "Yes." "I found you." "I will cut it short, man." "I, Sakip, came from Bitola." "Father sent me to find and bring you." "He wants your blessing before he dies." "We are brothers." "We have the same father." "What're you saying?" "That's how it is." "Are you fucking with me?" "Sorry?" "Are you fucking with me?" "Not at all." "Isn't your mother's name Fatos?" "Isn't it Fatos?" "Don't get her involved." "Bugger off." "Isn't your father trucker Suat from Bitola, Macedonia?" "He is my father, too." "l don't have a father." "Go away!" "Bro, where are you going?" "Where is he going?" "Bro!" "Man!" "What?" "!" "God!" "Who are you, man?" "ln God's name!" "Are you a thief?" "Fuck you!" "Who the hell are you?" "Are you following me?" "l did not, bro." "The custodian of the football field told me the address." "You left, I lost you." "I went back, we had tea." "Then he told me." "I came and waited for you here." "Why the hell did you?" "l am not crazy about it, too." "I made 800 km to here and will make the same back to home." "I said, "Let uncle Fuat go." He said, "No, he's your brother, your duty."" "And see?" "I froze my ass off." "Keep your voice down!" "I have back problems, bro." "I have lumbago." "I have been to all the mosques." "Ask me any mosque in Istanbul." "What the hell with mosques?" "I didn't ask you to come." "Father is in his deathbed." "For God's sake, please come." "You can return later." "Please, for the love of God." "Will you come?" "Look, bro." "You seem like a nice man." "You came and fulfilled your duty." "And I gave you my answer." "Now, if I were you, I would get on a plane and go straight back." "I came by car. I don't fly." "Planes are not God's work." "Cars are safe and secure." "So you are afraid." "I don't know about that." "Be a man and drive straight back." "This is Kasimpasa, you'll get fucked here." "Who fucks whom?" "Okay, alright." "That's all I'm gonna say." "I warned you. lt's on you now." "Where are you going, bro?" "Will you come with me?" "Sure. I'll just pack a bag and grab some pastry for the road." "Bro..." "How did I get myself into this?" "I told him, uncle should come." ""No, you go, your duty, your brother." What a brother!" "My back aches of this cold." "Hell with the duty and the brother!" "I drove 800 kilometers and he sends me off to my car." "I learned all the mosques in Istanbul." "But no!" "He couldn't care less." "I told him to send uncle, but no." ""You should go. lt is your duty." Why?" "Now I am broke." "My back hurts." "Oh my!" "Oh my father!" "I couldn't convince him." "I say deathbed, he says no."

"I just wonder what my sin is, whom I wronged to deserve this." "My brain is boiling." "What the fuck will you do if I die here of a sunstroke?" "Let's go this way." "Why?" "Go for God's sake." "Don't you talk to me!" "Why didn't we come here by car?" "It wasn't the engine, just a flat tire." "We could have drove here." "No, I don't..." "Like it is a Mercedes." "Like the rim would be damaged." "l don't want to talk to you." "Closed." "He should be around here." "His house should be close." "His shop is here." "Hi, man." "Do you know where he lives?"

"I have learned that I have a brother after 35 years." "That's what it is." "Though if you say there is nothing there, so be it." "Your stuff is with Uncle Fuat." "Let's go get them." "Then I'll show you off." "The rest is your issue." "Fill it up." "Pour it." "Serve." "You did." "That's more like it." "I am your uncle." "My name is Fuat."
