"Oh, mighty God" "Please take my soul, to ask You why You torture me" "Take my soul or alleviate the suffering" "Oh, God, are You..." "I ask Your forgiveness" "I know You exist, my heart shivers hearing Your name" "But I wonder, and You are the Most Merciful and Righteous" "Why are we led to temptation?" "Why does sin take over virtue?" "Why does the evil in our souls overcome the goodness?" "Why does one sin then remorse and ask for forgiveness?" "I have committed many sins but I am confused;" "was it my deprivation from my mother that pushed me towards evil?" "My parents were divorced when I was two" "And my father was responsible for bringing me up" "He was my father, brother and mother as well" "He granted me his youth, he lived only to please me" "Nevertheless, nothing compensated for the loss of my mother" "I envied any girl that had a mother" "In a girl's life, there are things only a mother understands" "These things were like a barrier between me and my dad when I started to turn into a young woman" "It made me feel lonely and deprived" "My father was the only thing I really possessed" "I didn't demand for my rights as a daughter only, but more" "I considered myself responsible for his happiness" "We lived with my uncle who was only a few years older than I was" "I was the lady of the house" "My face had no sinister look to it" "It is an innocent face, like that of a child who hadn't yet peen polluted by life's ugliness" "I started my evil deeds by pulling small pranks that later developed into big disasters" "Even my schoolmates were not exempted from them" "Kawthar was in love with my cousin, Medhat" "I convinced her falsely that Medhat loves me" "I was able to part between them and ruin their lives just because I liked being evil but I would cry also" "I cried for long nights, in regret for what I had done" "And I was forever sleepless" "SLEEPLESS" "Based on a novel by:" "Ehsan Apdel Koddous" "Directed by:" "Salah Apu Seif" "Then came the day when I felt my life was really falling apart" "I was sixteen, attending boarding school" "My father came and took permission from the principal to take me home" "You know something, Nadia" "I don't like your staying in a boarding school" "Why?" "It's a great school" "You know I sent you there because I had to" "After you've grown like this, you couldn't stay home without a woman to look after you" "Nanny Halima is like a mother to me" "Well, at the end of the day, she's still a nanny" "I have worried about you all my life" "There were so many little issues in your life that I couldn't approach you with" "Only a woman could talk to you about those issues" "I never complained" "Yes, but we have to live together forever" "You know, when you get married," "I will make sure that your husband will take us both" "We can never live together though unless I married" " Married?" " Yes, Nadia" "I have lived without marriage for 14 years, for your sake" "And now I married for your sake too" "The only condition in the woman I was going to marry was that she would take care of you, and I found her" " I am sure you'll love her" " You should love her" "If you love her, Nadia, I will love her" " Congratulations" " Just a plain congratulation?" "I only want you to be happy, Daddy" "Hello, Nadia" "You're more beautiful than your picture" "Aunt Safiya" "Planning to get drunk, Aziz?" "This is your third drink" "What to do?" "I'm starving" "Looks like Nadia won't appear unless I go get her" "How posh!" "Bless your hands, Safy" "See the difference a lady's presence makes in a house!" "What have you done to yourself?" "What is this hairstyle?" " Is it ugly?" " No, not at all" "You look just like Aunt Safiya now" "I am not as cute as Nadia" "Nadia is beautiful, have a seat" "Sit over there, Nadia, in the seat across me" "Come on, darling" "It's our fate to take the back seat" "Well, get yourself a bride" " Here's my bride!" " I'd never give her to you!" "You are always at night clubs!" "When I was young, I wanted to marry Daddy" "Well, he's taken now, I am the only one left" "No man in this whole world is worthy of Nadia" "Not even Daddy?" "Your father is one of a kind" "But I hope you find a man like him" " What's for vegetables?" " Messakaa" "Oh, God!" "It doesn't go well with whiskey" "I have a long night yet, tonight is the big night" "Do you hear that?" "All his nights are like that" "Actually, I asked the cook to make Messakaa because I learned that Nadia likes it" "Tell me your favorite meals and I'll make them for you" " I like late nights" " And borrowing money" "Oh, now you are reminding me of the 100 pounds I owe you!" " I'm not eating then!" " Why, Aziz?" "Let him go, he probably has a date;" "he's been looking at his watch" "You are not a niece, you are a wicked mother-in-law!" " Good bye" " Good bye" "Stop drinking, would you?" "Good night" "Will you sleep this early?" "Yes, I'm a bit tired" "Good night, darling" "Don't forget to close the balcony door" " Good night, Auntie" " Good night, Nadia" " It's getting cold" " I don't think so" "It's going to turn on fire" "As long as you are by my side, I feel on fire" " What are you doing?" " Getting warm" "This is not how to do it.." "Hasn't Nadia woken up yet?" "Not yet, sir" "Put this vase on the cupboard over there" "Halima, wake Nadia up, it's ten o' clock" " Good morning, Nadia" " Good morning" "I hope you get married soon" "Your father, Lady Safiya and your uncle are waiting for you" " Uncle is awake?" " Yes" "Everything has changed since Lady Safiya came" "I feel that everything in the house is newer and prettier" "The furniture is still the same, it was just too close together" "I never thought I would ever wake up this early" "Early?" "It's 10:30!" "Tomorrow, breakfast is at 8:00, we'll force you out of bed" "Your father's marriage is trouble for me and you" " Good morning" " Good morning, dear" "We should take Nadia to the doctor" "I think she's a bit pale, she needs some vitamins" "Vitamins?" "No, all she needs is a husband" "Husband?" "Who could we fool into marrying her?" "Remember when I asked you to make me scrambled eggs" "You burned your hand, and nearly burned the house down!" "We all did that as kids" "I will teach her everything, she'll be just like me" "I wish she'd be only half of you" "Why do you want to marry me off?" "Bored of me?" "Safiya?" "No one is answering" "You answer it" "Hello, how are you, Auntie?" "Thursday?" "What time?" "Seven?" "Definitely, yes, we'll be there" "Bye-bye, Auntie" "You know what, Daddy?" "I'll never speak to my friend Aliya again" "Why?" "She's a nice, funny friend" "I was once at her place, she left me alone and talked to her boyfriend on the phone" "She was talking to him while her mother was sitting next to us" "Be fair!" "She was talking to him, pretending he was a girl" "The strange thing is her tongue didn't slip once" " Live and let live" " Believe her, Ahmed, girls these days can do anything" "Who wants to come to the club for some fun?" "I'd love to but I have things to do" " Take Nadia with you" " I am tired" " We'll expect you for lunch" " I've forgotten what junk food is like!" "Let's go" "I am very sorry, miss" "I apologies again, a hundred times" " Okay" " Okay what?" " Accept my apology" " What if I don't?" "I won't eat or sleep" " It's over" " Thanks, see you around" " Anyone bugging you?" " Not at all" "I know Mostafa, he thinks he's still a youngster" "I don't like young men anyway" "He's a playboy, everyday a new girlfriend" "And you are straight?" "Where were you just now?" "Playing backgammon" "So, was your opponent a brunette or a blonde?" "Watch it, Ahmed" " Yes?" " Is this Mr. Mostafa?" "Yes, who is this?" "I am a girl, don't you like talking to women?" "I am sure you would enjoy talking to me" "No one prodded me to call you, no" "I happen to like you" "So you've seen me, you know me" "It's not fair, you have the advantage!" "This is selfishness!" "You can imagine me as we speak" "But I will always be asking myself: who is she?" "Is she pretty or ugly?" "Who told her to call me?" "Be patient, you won't regret it" "Later, when I feel comfortable about you" "Who told you I needed more women?" "Did I beg you to call me and test me - to see if I am worthy of you or not?" "Wait a minute" " Wait a second" " I'll hang up" "First you didn't want to talk, now you can't wait for a second?" "This phone thing is old-fashioned" "Times have changed" "There are now clubs and social gatherings for people to meet and know each other" "It's not logical for a girl to reveal half her body at the beach and then hide her identity on the phone" "People have no time for such hypocrisy" "Did you expect me to jump at you and say I loved you?" "Since we've gone this far, please tell me your name" "I will count till three" "If you don't tell me I'll hang up 1, 2, 3" " Wrong number" " My name is Nadia Lotfy" "My father is Ahmed Lotfy, we live in Dokki" "You saw me and you liked me" "You even threw your ball at me this morning" "Great!" "When will we meet?" "Please, Nadia" "Since we will meet anyway, then the sooner, the better" "Tomorrow at 4:30 in front of the Horse-Riding Club" "No, 4:30" "I am confused, almost lost" "As if an invisible hand pushed me towards an unknown fate" "I needed someone by my side" "I needed someone to guide me to the path of security" "But I had no one" "I couldn't ask my father's opinion, nor his wife's" "I felt just as lonely as I had before" "I feel afraid of Mostafa" "He is stronger and older than I am, and more experienced" "Should I turn back?" "I think I should" " Should it be a convertible?" " I'll cover it for you" "I saw you before but I didn't think you were this young" "I am not young, I am 18" " How old do you think I am?" " 25?" "I wish!" "I am 36" "Double your age" "So?" "They say a man is " double" the woman" "A man gets two women's share" "So, if I am 36," "I should be dating two 18-year-olds!" "I was afraid someone would see me getting in your car" "Tell me more about yourself" "You tell first, I have heard horror stories of you!" "Listen up now" "See, as I was saying..." " He put his hanky" " On the sand" " And put his hand" " In her hand" "What do they want from us?" "They have done nothing wrong" "The street is just as much theirs as it is ours" "They saw a nice girl, they can look as they please" "I've been thinking of you!" "How are your mom and sisters?" "Great." "Were you really thinking of me?" "There's something about you today, you are happy" "True, but I don't know why" "I will make you dresses that will make men fly after you" "You want to get rid of me?" "All girls want to get rid of their families and marry" "I don't want to get rid of Dad, where is he?" "On his way. go change for supper" "Are you home?" "I've been thinking of you since I left you" "Are you angry with me?" "I waved at you when I got out of your car - you left as if you were thinking: good riddance!" "To prove you wrong, let's meet tomorrow, when?" "I'll give you my address at home" "Why not?" "If not, let's meet at a cafe" "Can't we meet else where?" "At the Aquarium Park?" "I'm too old for this" "But Mostafa..." "Promise me you won't do anything to bother me" "I promise you." "It's 33, Kasr El Nil Street" "The 12th floor, apartment 3, at 5 o'clock" "I was supposed to meet him at five" "But I found myself out of the house at eleven to look up his place" "It was a huge building, I passed it hesitantly" "I felt everyone was watching me" "As if they knew I would be back at five to meet Mostafa in his apartment" "Then I went to the back of the building as if I were studying the scene of the would-be crime" "I was afraid that someone would see me" "But the building had offices for lawyers and doctors, companies and a dressmaker" "If someone saw me, I'd say I was at the dressmaker's" "Would you like to take a look around?" "I was looking for a picture of a girl that looked like you" "I don't know where I saw it" " Do you draw?" " Listen up" "I like art but I don't draw" "I like music but I can't play it" "I love flowers but can't grow them" "I love novels but I can't write them and I adore beauty but cannot create it" "Would you like to listen to music?" " How many women were here before me?" " A lot" "Am I just another page in a diary?" "Ask me this question after two weeks" "By then I will know how you stand compared to them" "There is one obvious thing I can tell you now" " What is that?" " You are the youngest" " I am not young" " You are 16 years old!" " I'm 18" " Still the youngest!" "I never admired younger men" "You like older men?" "You are the first man I have ever known" "There is a twenty-year difference between us" "When you are 38, I will be 56" "You'll be in your prime and I'll be done" "You will be great at 56" "I worry for you, you don't know what I am or what I can do to your life" " You worry for me, that's enough" " Aren't you afraid of me?" "Not any more" "When I first walked in, I almost died of fear" "I was afraid you put something to drug me in the chocolate" "Mostafa kept his promise" "I walked out, untouched" "I went for a second time, and a third" "But he was always conservative, frigid" "I enjoyed his amusing conversations about his life, his books, his experiences" "I also talked to him, about everything in my life" "He knew what was going on at home" "I feel sorry for Aunt Safiya" " Why?" " Dad doesn't love her" "Why did he marry her then?" "For my sake, to take care of me" "But why her?" "He could have married someone he loved" "She's a modest housewife, from bed to kitchen and from kitchen to bed" "She's probably fat, ugly and illiterate" "Not too fat or too ugly" "She can barely read or write though" "You have to make him love her" "You can't force someone to love someone" "If he married her for your sake, you can make him love her" "I can't believe you love me unless you love everyone else including Aunt Safy" "I was happy with the new life that Mostafa opened before my very eyes" "But that wasn't enough for me" "There was something I was waiting to happen" "I was waiting for him to kiss me" "Every love story begins with a kiss" "So where was my kiss?" "Maybe he didn't love me or considered me a kid" "Maybe there was another woman in his life" "I wonder who else you are seeing?" "No one, these days" "A bachelor like you with no woman in his life?" "A man in my age can go without a woman forever" "You are 36, my dad remarried at the age of 39" "He found a woman worth marrying" "And you haven't?" "Not yet" "What is this?" "Whose earring is it?" "It's broken." "I wonder who broke it?" "Not me, it was broken when I found it" "I love this record" "Have you excused me from the promise?" "What promise?" "Remember the promise I made before your first visit?" "I don't remember" "Your earring, Nadia" "Thank God it's not broken" " When will you come again?" " Tomorrow" " Welcome" " Excuse me" "It's 6:15 and Nadia isn't down yet" "I sent Nanny to hurry her up" "What do you think of Dr. Helmy, my cousin?" "A good lad, I have no objection to him" "He's a doctor, from a good family, very decent too" "She doesn't want to marry me off out of love for me" "She wants to get rid of me to take over the house" "She is very kind and she loves you" "Love or no love, I am not meeting anyone!" "Aren't you ready yet, Nadia?" "I am tired, I can't come down" "I am sure you'll be delighted" "They are guests, and very nice people" "What shall we say to them?" "Get dressed if you love me at all" "Okay" "I can't come tonight, I am sorry" "But tomorrow, I will surprise you" "You'll find out tomorrow" "No, thanks" "You were always talkative, Helmy, why are you quiet now?" "I have been blabbing all day put she won't answer me" "You must've been telling her about the hospital and patients" "You have annoyed her, talk about something else" "I will talk about poetry, about music, about the high dam even, if only she'd answer" "What do you say if you came over for supper tomorrow?" "I have no problem, what about you, Nadia?" "Tomorrow is my sister's birthday" " Do you have to go?" " And Mom wants me to stay over" "Why?" "The chauffeur will pick you up after the party" "Mom insists, I don't want my sister to get upset" "Please, Dad" "Okay" " Then we'll expect you after tomorrow" " Okay" "We'll miss you, sweetie" "I'll be pack first thing tomorrow" "Wait a minute, Nadia" "What's this?" "This isn't suitable for a party" "I'll pick out another dress for you" "This is very suitable" "The party is full of kids anyway" "Go see why the elevator has stopped" "We don't need this, see what's wrong" " What's up with you?" " I'm spending the night here" "Have I done anything wrong?" "No, life did you wrong" "I'm supposed to be at my mother's today" "Maybe they will ask about me" "So the only solution is to keep their phone busy all the time" "Nanny Halima hung up" "Now, they can't make calls or get calls" "Do you know what I really want?" "To walk with you in the street, in front of everyone" "To tell everyone that your beauty is mine" "Your eyes are mine" "Your lips are mine" "Turn around" "Don't peek" "I need that dress tonight, Teresa" "We are going out tonight, thank you" "Your dress turned out marvelous, you will be a star" "Where?" "Shushu's party tonight, all the suitors will be chasing you" "I don't think I can make it" " Why?" " I am worn out" " How's your mom and sisters?" " Fine, thanks" "Go upstairs and rest, by night time, you'll be okay" "I want to tell you something" "What is it?" "Tell me, dear" "I am in love" "What?" "In love, with a guy" "You mean someone will come and propose?" "Why are you so shy about it?" "Rest assured, I'll talk to your father and settle everything" "As long as he is a good person, and you're in love, why not?" "Consider yourself married, congratulations" "No one is coming to propose" "Didn't you just say there's someone?" "Yes, but he won't propose" "Why won't he, if he loves you?" " He's not the marrying type" " What?" "I mean, we haven't discussed marriage yet" "Apdou!" "Those servants are a nuisance!" "She refused to share my misery" "Mostafa is all I need" "But does he really love me?" "Will he marry me?" "I don't think so" "He runs away from any responsibility" "He only spared my virginity because - he doesn't want to be responsible for turning me into a woman" " Welcome, welcome" " Hello" "Tonight, you'll be everyone's envy, Mr. Lotfy;" "the sun is to your right and the moon to your left" " Hello, Mr. Mostafa" " Hello, Mrs. Shushu" " I think you know each other" " We haven't met" " Mr. Lotfy" " How do you do?" "My niece, Mrs. Lotfy" "And our sweet little Nadia" "And Mr. Mostafa El Sherif, you have all heard of him" "We see each other at the club" "But we have never met before tonight" "This is Aziz, Lotfy's brother" "Yes, we've met" "Please" "Are you related to Khalil El Sherif who was - in the Higher Institute of Commerce?" " My brother" " What a coincidence!" "We are old friends and schoolmates" "Where is he now?" "Nadia!" "Hello!" "I miss you so much" "Ever since you left school, you haven't contacted me, weren't we friends?" "Guess who I saw yesterday" "Damn these people!" "Why do they make such a fuss?" "What luck brought me into this blabbermouth's path?" "When will she stop her nonsense?" " May I have this dance?" " Sorry" "Safiya is laughing more than she usually does" "What has he told her?" "I mustn't leave them" "Excuse me" "You have very bold opinions" "No, not too bold" "I just don't like what people are doing" "Everyone is doing wrong and if someone is right they call him bold, crazy or a criminal" "Which opinion was he discussing with her?" "I know his conversation is intoxicating" "Was he trying to impress her?" "They play a big role in peoples' lives, what do you say, Miss?" "I saw a marvelous statue depicting this idea in a museum in Rome" "That was Bernini's statue" "I must take part in their conversation" "I must say something" "I mustn't be weak in front of my stepmother" "I can tell them about the sculptor that killed himself" "Mostafa is the one that told me that story" "But I must prove myself" "I always listen to that program" "It's one of the most important radio programs" "Have you heard of the intellectual butcher Apu Nekaya?" "It's an honor to have a citizen like him here" "All the women are admiring your dress tonight, Safiya" "They are asking me about your dressmaker" "Isn't she called Teresa?" "I made this dress myself" "It is really classy." "I think..." "Mrs. Shushu is really strange" "She put me amidst people I don't know" "I felt like a stranger" "So I thought I wouldn't be rude and left them" "You shouldn't have, Aziz" "People at parties should mingle" "You promised me a dance, Nadia.. if I may, Uncle" " It's all right" " Please" "May I have this dance, Mrs. Safiya?" " If you allow me, sir" " Go ahead" "Two ice-creams, right?" "Isn't it too cold over here?" "The smoke inside is suffocating" "We are late, we should be leaving anyway" "Excuse me" "They say Mostafa is a good farmer" "His feddan yielded 7 kantars of cotton last year" " He is so cocky" " Aren't all bachelors?" "Am I that cocky?" "If you want people to stop calling you cocky, get married" "Safiya, you are the last one I will go to for advice" "Why did Safiya allow him to dance with her like that?" "There must be something between them" "Maybe they agreed to talk on the phone" "Or maybe even..." "They will do like he did with me" "I am very sorry to be late, Nadia" "Why didn't we meet at your place this time?" " Let's change" " Change?" "Did you enjoy yesterday's party?" "Looks like you enjoyed it the most" "Because you were so pretty" "That's why you talked and danced with me all night!" " What do you mean?" " Aunt Safiya!" "You gave me a very bad impression of her" "She seems nice and pretty, your dad must love her madly" " Only Dad?" " Anyone else you know?" " You!" " Give me a break!" "Why did you dance with her like you did?" "She was dancing with respect" "She is very respectable, everyone who sees her will respect her" "Are you mad?" "What will you have?" "Yesterday Safiya drank juice" "Strange that she doesn't drink alcohol at all" "She must be highly educated and self-confident" "Two cups of raspberry juice" "Nadia!" "Nadia!" "What day is today, Ahmed?" "May 3" "Hey, it's our anniversary!" "We've been together for a year, have I made you happy?" "You have made me the happiest man on earth" "I hope our happiness lasts forever" " What've you prepared?" " Nothing much" "We will all take our tea in the garden" "Isn't Nadia back yet?" "She's on her way probably, it isn't 12 yet" "What about Aziz?" "Looks like he drank too much in the party" "I will go on a small errand and come pack" "Bye-bye" " Are you going out?" " Yes, dear" "Please stay with me today, don't go out" "Is something wrong?" "Are you ill?" "I just wanted to spend some time with you" "I'll only be away for an hour" " Hello, Nadia" " Where is Aunt Safiya?" "Upstairs in Aziz's apartment" "30 blacksmiths with 60 hammers are banging in my head!" "Why do you drink if you can't handle it?" "I can't handle drinking?" "I'll drink a barrel of wine" "Your aunt had bad whiskey" "No way, you're just growing old" "Drink up" "Yuck!" "This tastes like cod-liver oil!" "Are you here, Nadia?" "Where did you come from?" "Come help me drag this man out of bed" "Pull his other leg" "No, not my leg!" "I think I will sit like this for another week" "This afternoon, you must come down" "Today is our anniversary" " Really?" " Happy anniversary" "Hope both of you are married soon too" "Me?" "God forbid!" "I am going downstairs, if you want me, call" "I fear you will catch cold" "You don't have to celebrate while I'm sick, do you?" "You have an excuse for not getting a gift" " Thank you so much" " Congratulations" "Thank you, darling, it's the prettiest earring" "There is something prettier" "Wow!" "It matches the earrings perfectly" " When did you get it?" " I have my ways" "I knew you would call your jeweler to pick a gift" "So I called him and got my gift in bed!" "Thanks, I hope I return it in your marriage soon" "I won't marry before Nadia marries" "I am worried about Nadia these days" " Why, Dad?" " You look pale and weak" "Your eyes are tired, like you haven't slept for ages" "I am a bit exhausted" "You should see a doctor" "Doctor Kenawy will pass by, let him check on her" "You won't go out today?" "That's a precedent!" " He's getting old" " Never!" "It's just the clean life" "I am not used to sleeping early and eating good food" "Thanks to Aunt Safiya" "Ever since you have come, and he's always home" "Yes, she spoiled me" " Happy anniversary" " Many happy returns" "Dear Mother," "I kiss you a thousand kisses" "I fear I will wet you with my tears" "I cry so much that I can no longer sleep" "Imagine that I live among cheaters, in silence" "The cheater is Aunt Safiya" "She is cheating on Dad and with whom?" "My uncle!" "It's been going on like this for months" "I saw them in my uncle's apartment" "She was kissing him and he was..." "I can't describe what I saw" "And my uncle, who never stayed home no longer stays out or eats out like before" "He even pretends to be sick to stay home" "She goes up to his flat till gullible Dad comes home" "I have been crying ever since and I can't tell Dad" "And with whom?" "My uncle!" "I saw them in my uncle's apartment" "She was kissing him and he was..." "I can't describe what I saw" "Nadia!" "Nadia!" "Dad!" "Why are you up till now?" "I wrote a letter to Mom then tore it up" "What's wrong, Dad?" "Nothing, just a bit tired" "Shall I make you a cup of tea?" "Shall I wake up aunt Safiya?" "No, I don't want anything now" "You are back early" "Didn't you want me to come home?" "What are you saying?" "Don't like what I'm saying?" "What is wrong?" "Leave me alone, stay away" "Have you been drinking?" "I am not drunk or staggering, am I?" " Good morning" " Good morning, Nadia" "Eat your breakfast before it goes cold" "I have no appetite" "Mr. Aziz won't come down to breakfast" "What's gotten into everyone?" "No one wants to eat" "Didn't Daddy have breakfast either?" "I don't know what's wrong with your father" "I'm afraid he might be ill and not telling us" "Maybe he has problems with his estate" "God be with him, and with you too, dear" "You must see a doctor, you are so pale" "No need, I'll just rest in my room all day" "I'll go see what's wrong with your uncle too" "Good morning, Dad, why are you back so early?" " Where is Safiya?" " Maybe in her room" " Where is she?" " Maybe she went out" " Where did she go?" " I was in my room, ask Nanny" "Or maybe she went upstairs" "Ahmed, why are you back so early?" "You didn't expect me this early." "Where is Aziz?" " In his room" " And what are you doing here?" "What do you see?" "Don't we have servants to put away the laundry?" "I never depend on them" "What's wrong with you since yesterday?" " Nothing" " Wait, I'll come down with you" " I am going out" " It's almost lunch time" "I have work, I came to tell Aziz something important but he's asleep" " He is sick" " Sick?" "Won't we eat?" "It's almost 3:15" "Go ahead, I'll wait for your father" "I am sick and left my room for your sakes" "He's never been so late" " Here he is" " Apdou, bring lunch" "I already ate" "Safiya said you wanted me, what's up?" "She told you already?" "What else does she do besides wake me up and feed me?" "Safiya has turned the house into an army camp!" "I wanted to show you our account at the Credit Bank" "But you've no time" "You are up to it, leave the credit to me and the banks to you" "Of course I am up to it, I handle the farm affairs, bank accounts, taxes" "And I marry a woman to wake you up every morning" "You married me to wake your brother up?" "I didn't mean that" "I won't accept it that you refer to me as "a woman"" "I am sorry, I don't mean it" "All will be well in the end" "Is there anything you want me to do, Ahmed?" "You never did anything" "You wanted it this way" "Well, let's forget this now" "We are invited to my uncle's house tonight" "Shall we go or should I apologize right now?" "Why not go?" "Is anything wrong?" "I'm just asking" "Excuse me from going, Dad, I am exhausted and won't make it" "Whatever you like, Nadia." "Aziz, are you coming or not?" "Are you inviting me or pushing me away?" "You never liked these gatherings but all of a sudden you love them" "Safiya made me like a lot of things even the silly things" "Come in" " Good morning" " Good morning, Dad" "Did you sleep well last night?" "You know something?" "I feel that we have drifted away from each other" "Remember when we lived alone?" "Those were the days" "All we had was each other" "I will never want anyone but you, Daddy" "Wash up and eat your breakfast" "You must eat well, you look weak and I am worried" "We will go to the farm, take care of yourself" " Good morning, Aunt" " Good morning, darling" "I wish you'd come with us put your father said no" "I wonder what I'll do there alone" " I'll miss you" " We'll only be away for a few days" "Uncle Aziz" "What is it?" "Imagine that Dad and Aunt Safiya went to the farm?" "Really?" "And she kept on begging him to take me put he wouldn't" "He isn't himself these days, I am worried" "I am worried too." "Can I ask a favor of you?" "We are the only two people Dad has in this world" "What if we went to the farm?" "He seems upset, we must be there for him" "Who knows what he is thinking of, or what he intends to do" "Forget it, you go alone" "Please take me, don't you love me?" "Would you like me to take a cab to the farm?" "Get up, please" "Okay, I'll go, and come what may!" "Hello" "What brings you here?" "I came to see if you were okay" "How kind of you!" "I want to talk to you, you are upset and you're having us worried" "Uncle Aziz is very worried about you" "Aunt Safiya said you were ill" "She said I was ill?" "What joy!" "Finally you've grown up to be a young lady!" " Stop this nonsense, woman" " I'll make sherbet today" "You came?" "Welcome" "They couldn't stay away from you, they came in our trail!" " It's my fault" " How could you leave me alone?" "He's changed a lot!" "I don't know what's wrong" "God be with you" "What is it?" "He is acting strangely these days" "Let's go back to Cairo" "We just got here!" "I am going back to Cairo, if you don't mind " "I am taking my wife and daughter with me" " What do you say?" " As you wish" "Stick around, or can't you stay alone anywhere?" "I want to stay where we can talk" "Don't bother" "Here you are, sir, juice for Miss Nadia" " The food is untouched" " They never eat" "What happened to this house?" "I'm going to the dressmaker" "I'm going to the farm" "Are you awake, Uncle?" "Awake and dressed since early morning waiting for you all to leave, so as not to see any of you!" "A husband and wife hate each other, what is it to us?" "Pity!" "If he leaves her, he'll never find anyone even half as good" "Is she downstairs?" "Both of them went out, each on his own" "I am going to the club, want to come along?" "I wish, but a friend of mine is coming over" "Can I ask you to do me a favor?" "Yes?" "Before you go to the club, go to the dressmaker" "Ask her to send me the blue dress" " Not the dressmaker!" " Please" " Why don't you call her?" " She isn't answering" "I called the phone company, they said her phone is down" " Where is the driver?" " He's with Aunt Safiya" "How can I go to a woman's dressmaker?" "What will people say?" "You don't have to go in" "Your favors are all really silly" " Where does she live?" " You know that building.." " What are you doing, Dad?" " Leave me alone" "Get out of here!" "What is wrong, Nadia?" "Is anything wrong?" "Has something happened to your father?" "Take your clothes and go back where you came from!" "What are you saying?" "I don't want to make a scene, what happened is bad enough" "You don't belong here, this has always been a clean house and whoever lives here has to be clean!" "What are you saying?" "Are you crazy?" "I divorce thee, I divorce thee, I divorce thee" " You are a cheater!" " You are crazy!" "I was crazy the day I married you, I was fooled by you and your family" "Now I know I gave my name to someone unworthy of it" "You are divorced, get the hell out!" "I will not answer you, but be sure that if I walk out," "I will never come pack again" "Don't leave, please." "She is innocent, Dad" " Shut up!" " She is innocent!" "She is a dishonest woman, you know that very well" " I saw them today" " I am the dishonest one" "She doesn't even compare to you!" "She is dishonest, she is a cheater!" "Get out!" "Out!" "Aunt Safiya!" "Aunt Safiya!" "Aunt Safiya!" "She has a nervous breakdown, she is very weak" "Rest is very crucial, as I said" "and a shot a day, and three of these pills daily after meals" "and this medicine is to be taken only at night" "Uncle Aziz, Uncle Aziz" "I can't stay in this house one minute more!" "We'll split up the farm and each one of us can go his own way" "Better!" "They say he broke the door and found them together!" "He is a bastard!" "He deserves to be burnt alive!" "His sister-in-law?" "He isn't to blame, she is older than him, she pursued him" "He was going to shoot her but his daughter stopped him" "Poor Nadia!" "She hasn't left her bed ever since that day!" "Master Aziz?" "How do you do?" "Miss Nadia, she is well" "God, have mercy!" "Nothing is worth all this grief, Nadia" "You were wrong; she didn't betray you" "You are still young, there are things you can't comprehend" "And just to prove you are wrong, your uncle has told everyone he will marry her" "Is this your final answer?" "Do you need time to consider?" "I have thought a lot about this and I thank you for your noble offer but you know what your brother said about us if we do get married now, everyone will believe him even those who were convinced of our innocence" "and they will believe every single word" "I don't care, any man would be honored to have you" "I never had a brother, Aziz and I always considered you my brother, as you know" "Let's keep it that way" "Excuse me" "The phone never stops ringing, and when I pick up the phone, no one answers" "You go rest, and plug in the phone" "Close the door" "Where are you, Nadia?" "Where have you been all this time?" "I know you were sick, I called you fifty times" "Thank you, Mostafa" "Every time the phone rang and no one would answer, I would know it was you" "Yes, I am better now" "Dad isn't home yet, he spends a lot of time outside the house" "He goes to bars?" "Unbelievable!" "He's never done that!" "And how have you been, Mostafa?" "I miss you a lot" "Don't miss me, I was worried about you" "And what is this story I hear?" "The divorce?" "Your dad, your uncle and Safiya" "The story that people are talking about" "These are all rumors, don't believe them" "No specific reason." "They just didn't get along, that all" "No, that's not true, I swear they are all lies" "I swear by your life" "That's what I thought too" "I knew Safiya could never do such a thing" "She didn't seem like the type that would do that" "What did the doctor tell you?" "You need a change, take a vacation somewhere" "Me?" "No, I have to stay here, I have work" "But you must call me everyday" "Okay, Mostafa, good-bye" "Why does he care about her so much?" "What does he care if she was having an affair or not?" "Does Mostafa love me?" "Or do I love Mostafa?" "No, this is not love" "Maybe I am just fooling around or maybe I was just.." "imitating and defying my stepmother" "But could it be that I took revenge on Aunt Safiya out of jealousy over Mostafa?" "or maybe over my father?" "Why couldn't the motive be my love and jealousy for my father?" "My father who was all mine and was taken away by another woman" "The house is all mine now, I am the mistress here" "I am on top now" "Father came back to me.." "I alone carry his name" "He comes home only to me again" "I ruined Aunt Safiya but alongside, I ruined everything" "Our home, my father even I felt ruined" "Oh, God, I fear Your wisdom and I fear Your revenge" "Yes, surely God will take revenge on me" "I ask for Your forgiveness" "I ask that You have mercy on me" "Hey!" "Watch it!" "Nadia Lotfy?" "!" " Kawthar!" " How are you, Nadia?" "How are you?" "No one has seen you since school days" " Dad, my friend Kawthar" " How do you do?" "Why don't you come sit with us?" "I will wait for you under the umbrella" "Come" " Tell me about your news" " In only 6 words" "I got married then got divorced" "And you?" "Did you marry your cousin, Medhat?" "Not at all" "You made me ditch him then you left him?" "You still remember?" "That was kids' play" " Is that your dad?" " Yes" "He's young and nice and loveable" " He is so kind" " Then why did he divorce twice?" " Just bad luck" " He must be old-fashioned" "No, if you mingle with him, you'll find him very cool" "Come and I'll introduce you" "Hello" "Dad, Kawthar was the prettiest girl at school" " You were always prettier, Nadia" " No, you were" "OK, then you were the prettiest brunette and I the prettiest blonde" "Black and white, then?" "How enchanting!" "Kawthar says you look young" " Should I say more?" " Stop embarrassing me" " Come on, tell me" " You are loveable" " Don't you love me?" " I do, a great deal" "Kawthar is young since she was your schoolmate" "I am not young, Dad!" "I am older than Nadia, I am 25" " Really?" " Don't get worked up, I'm 24" "Ask Kawthar to spend the day with us tomorrow if she's not busy" "I have nothing planned for tomorrow" "We are going on a trip, you'll love it" "I have to go take a dip, excuse me" " Your friend is really nice" " She's well-mannered and fun" "She looks well-bred" "She was always kind and loyal" "It shows" " Who are those?" " None of your business" " The man is staring at you" " Pretend you don't know me" "I am sure that man is crazy over you" "Tomorrow he'll be on his knees" "We'll have a Cadillac, not this old jalopy" "Good luck, darling" "Hello" " Where is Nadia?" " On her way" "The atmosphere is awesome, so romantic" "It seems that you are very romantic" "I love romance" "Are you from Cairo or Alexandria?" "From Cairo" "Great, so we'll see you when we get back, come and visit Nadia" "Yes, but life is full of worries" "What worries you?" "Are you married?" " No, divorced" " We are in the same boat!" "No, I had only one divorce!" " You are still young" " I am 23 and a half" "Never seen a woman blurt out her real age like that" "I may be cheating a little bit" "You have gotten along already!" "You are very lucky to have such a sweet father, Nadia" " You can have him!" " Excuse me" " What do you think of Dad?" " He's really slick" "He sneaks his way into your heart" "Give him a break!" "He's so kind!" "I wish he'd marry you" "As if you were his mother, looking for a bride for him!" "I am the only woman in his life so far" "So, do you want to be his mother, daughter, or wife?" "I can't be his mother or his daughter of course" "Come on" "Let's go" "She wants to marry my father but does she love him?" "Maybe" "Who cares?" "All that matters is that Dad will be happy" "Maybe I can redeem myself of my crime" "I miss you, Mostafa, I was so busy" "Dad is okay, thanks" "Ever since he met Kawthar he's become very happy" "Everyday, parties, outings, and presents" "Won't you come for a few days?" "You'll go to the farm in this heat?" "Okay.." "Good-bye, Mostafa" " Good morning, Dad" " Good morning, Nadia" " You are up early" " Isn't Kawthar here yet?" "No, not yet" "Do you know that she likes you?" "You really make a charming couple, but this time.." " The third one always sticks" " Will you have a wedding?" "We will have a big celebration the day you get married, dear" "We'll just have a small reception at the hotel and then return to Cairo" "May God bless" " Yes?" " Apdou wants his salary" "I can't be bothered with salary or celery!" "Go to Nadia, I don't care about these things" " Bless you Lady Safiya" " What are you mumbling?" "The master will never find a better wife, God damn the culprits!" "We will never hear the end of this, will we?" "Kawthar is Safiya's equal, maybe even better!" " Good morning" " Good morning" "Still no answer" " Tell me, sweetie" " Hello, love" "Did I lose or gain weight during the honeymoon?" "I can't tell if you gained weight or not" "All I can see is that you've become very gorgeous!" "Remember, we were going to Europe for our honeymoon?" "You didn't want to, put if you insist, let's go" "How much money did I save you?" "A good sum" "Then get me the car you promised me" "We already have two cars here" "No, I want my own car" "As you wish, my darling" "Answer, stop being so rude!" "Ever since we came pack from Alex, everyday he calls 2 or 3 times" "How rude!" "Hello, good morning, Mom!" "How are you?" "I miss you so much" "Ahmed?" "He's good." "Mom says hello" "Invite her over for lunch" "Listen, I won't go to work today" "Let's spend the day together" "No, I don't think so, Ahmed is busy" "He won't be able to come with me" "Why, Mom?" "You were okay, yesterday" "I'll try to come but I won't stay for long, just come for a little while" "No, it's a whole bottle of whiskey, don't be late" "Good bye, dear" "Mom is sick and wants us to visit her" "Darling, you know I have to go to the farm with the lawyer to close the deal and sell it" "You wouldn't go yesterday, she'll be disappointed" "You go, and next week we'll spend a whole day with her" "Okay" "I'll try to come put I won't stay for long, just for a little while" "No, it's a whole bottle of whiskey, don't be late" "I drove the loyal wife away from his life and put a cheat in her place" "I sold out the innocent woman to buy a criminal instead!" "God, has Your revenge started to take effect?" "Oh, God, O Mighty Avenger" "Please forgive me" "I can't handle your music or philosophy today!" "What is eating at you?" "You have changed, you are not like you used to be" "We haven't seen each other for ages and you didn't even call!" "If I hadn't called you today, you still wouldn't have called" "I was very busy these days" "Do you still love me, Mostafa?" "Sometimes you ask the most awkward questions" "Listen up, dear" "I like what I see in you and you like what you see in me but there are things in you I can't see," "I don't know if I like them or not" "I knew it!" "Knew what?" "Sometimes I feel we are so far apart" "That way you'll miss me more" "I have to go" "Call me" "What is this?" "Only 15 pounds?" "Your husband is getting very stingy" "Have mercy!" "He just bought me an expensive car last week" "Tell him to give you a little more" "Time has passed really quickly" " Do you know what time it is?" " Around one o' clock" " It's 2:15" " Oh, goodness!" "It's 2:15 and she isn't back yet, didn't she say where she was going?" "I called her mother and she said she left at ten" "I think she said she'll go see the doctor" "What's wrong with her?" " She was OK when I left" " I don't know" "Don't you know who the doctor is so I can ask about her?" " No" " How strange!" "I have the power to crush her, to kick her out of the house" "But will my Dad take another blow?" "Can a man's pride take so many insults?" "Dad asked your mom about you and she said you left at ten" "If he asks you, say you were at the doctor's" " Which doctor?" " Any doctor" "Thanks, Nadia" "Where were you till now?" "I was worried about you!" " I won't tell you" " I know, you were at the doctor's" "I asked her not to tell you" "Tell me what?" "Really?" "Nadia, have them serve lunch, I am starving!" "Okay" "No, no, no" "One step at a time" " How can I thank you?" " For what?" "The doctor story, you made up and perfected in an instant!" "I didn't do that for your sake" " For whose sake then?" " My poor dad's sake" "I know you are having an affair, the phone calls and visits but I can't ruin Dad's life once more" "Listen here, you know that your dad loves me and that he is happy with me" "Now, that's enough for him" "You are right, it's all my fault" "He won't take another shock in his life that's why I have to keep quiet" "What's wrong, girls?" "I am worried about Nadia these days" "She's always home, she never goes to visit anyone" "Why so, Nadia?" "You should take care of yourself" "I'll see to it that she goes out" "Book us a table tomorrow at the Auberge, for Nadia's sake" "How kind you are, dear!" "Two ice creams, please" " Hello, Samir" " Hello" "Have you met Nadia?" "Kawthar is always raving about your beauty" "But I didn't think you were this pretty" "Is this why you brought me here?" "Ice cream?" "How innocent!" " What about a martini?" " Would you like a martini?" " No" " It's a great appetizer" " Won't we leave?" " Let's sit with Samir a while" "Dad!" "Why are you here?" "You said you'd go to the hairdresser" "We finished early so we said we sit here for a while" " This is Samir" " How do you do?" " I'll tell you later" " Tell me what?" "Kawthar will tell you all about it later" "I wanted to meet you a few days back but I thought I'd leave it to Nadia" "She and Kawthar would choose the right time" "Here is definitely not the right time or place" "We can't talk about anything now" "Let's go and hope everything turns out for the best" "Come on, Nadia" "Nice to meet you, bye" "Where did you meet him?" " In Alex" " On the beach?" "Yes, he asked to propose but I thought I'd introduce him to Kawthar and she'd tell you" "Is he related to Hossam Pacha, the cotton merchant in Alex?" "I think he said he was his father" "They are from a big family but they lost all their money." "What does he do?" "I think in an insurance company, right, Nadia?" "Yes" "I will ask around, and since you love him, Nadia, the only thing I can demand is decency money was never important" "Listen, you got me into this mess, so get me out!" "Do you understand?" "Why not marry Samir?" "He isn't that bad" "He is a cute young man, his father was a pacha" "He's poor but that doesn't matter" "Your father is rich and can support you" " Are you joking?" " I am dead serious" "You can always come and live with us in your uncle's old apartment" "So that your husband and lover are under the same roof?" "Be a sport" "You'll fall in love with him, eventually, he is charming" "I am warning you, Kawthar, if you're trying to mess up my life for your love life, forget it!" "I'll tear this house down on all of us!" " Here you go" " Thanks, I never drink" " Cigarette?" " I don't smoke" "What I care about is your ethics and my daughter's happiness" "I asked about you in the company you work for but as I told you.." "come, Nadia" "She is so shy, she's still young" " Why did you run away?" " Congratulations" " On what?" " I approved" " To what?" " To Samir" " I don't understand" " You are overdoing it" "Overdoing what?" "Samir proposed and I agreed" "He was so embarrassed, and I felt even more embarrassed" " Who said I wanted to marry?" " Kawthar told me all" " I don't want to marry" " What?" "So you just wanted to have a boyfriend?" "You met him and you had no intention of marriage?" "Shouldn't we wait till we ask about him?" "And would I have agreed without asking about him?" "All my friends at the club said he is from a good family and his manager says he is.." "But we should wait till we make sure, right?" "I see no reason to delay things" "You have always been hesitant in marriage" "Listen to me, Nadia dear" "People have proposed to you ever since you were sixteen and every time, you would say no" "I won't let you ruin your life like that" " Are you sick of me?" " I can't live without you" "I will ask Samir that you live here with us" "Please, do that, Ahmed" "He is a well-educated young man, he's kind, and you are in love with him" "Money is not important, we have enough to go around" "I don't love him, Daddy" "What is this nonsense?" "You chose him, not me" "Leave her for now, we all did that" "Let's expedite the marriage process" "I thought once that I was an evil person but God sent me more evil person" "The plot is now clear" "Marrying me would guarantee Samir a luxurious life and at the same time he would be close to Kawthar" "Poor Dad!" "Samir was going to take his daughter, his wife and his money!" "Dear God, is this Your revenge?" "I don't want any mess-ups tonight" " Don't worry, sir" " Good morning, Nadia" " Good morning" " Hello, bride" "You look like you didn't sleep all night" "Who would get any sleep on a night like this?" "Nadia has always been a good, sensible girl" "But it's not just a matter of getting married" "You must love your husband and be faithful to him" "See how much I love Kawthar?" "I never imagined falling in love like this" "You should take her as your role model for her love and loyalty" "I'll go invite our friends and I'll reconfirm with the Maazoun" "Listen, this marriage is not happening, understand?" "Why not?" "Samir is a good guy" "Good for you" "He had better not come tonight, because I won't marry him" "I hate him and despise him" "So what?" "I was in love with Medhat when we were in school and I never married him" "I married another man I didn't even know" "I love Samir and didn't marry him and I married your father although I don't love him" "Love is something, and marriage is another thing" "How unethical!" "I will not marry him, and come what may!" "Do what you want" "I have a message for Daddy" "I am having lunch with Samir in his apartment" "If he likes it, so be it if he objects, he can divorce me" "I had to choose between my Dad's happiness and mine" "His life and mine" "There was no other way" "Maybe it was my fault, because I condoned Kawthar's infidelity" "But could I have exposed her?" "I would only ruin our lives once again" "I covered up for her infidelity to protect my father" "So why is God taking revenge on me?" "Is covering up a sin a crime that deserves such a punishment?" "But was this my only crime?" "Oh, God, have mercy on me, save me" "Who do I go to?" "Who can I consult?" "If I had a brother or sister, if only my mother understood me, or if I had a friend" "Is Mostafa there?" "Isn't this 28107?" "He moved?" "Don't you know his new address?" "Thank you" "Are you sure of the affair between Kawthar and Samir?" "I fear it may be a rumor" "If I knew he'd believe me, I wouldn't hesitate in telling him" "I know you worry about him but I'd rather he hurt for a while than live his life a fool!" "You have to tell him, Nadia" "Admit everything, save yourself and save him" "Tell him" "Maybe he'll wake up and regret what he's done to Safiya" "Safiya!" "Be sure that she is innocent and honest, she loved him, he'll never find anyone like her" "I am sure, very sure" "Hello, Nadia" "What a beautiful surprise!" "Please come in, dear" "I missed you" "How are you all?" "How is Nanny Halima and Apdou?" "All are well" "I was thinking of you, I wanted to call you but you know how things are" "What is wrong?" "I have come to beg something of you" "Yes, dear" "Excuse me, Nadia" "I suppose you remember Nadia Lotfy" "Hello, Miss Nadia" "Mostafa, my fiancé" "Congratulations" " Congratulations, sir" " Sit" "Excuse me, I'm very late" "God, this is Your will, Your revenge" "I'll endure it, then" "Hello" " Peace to you all" " Welcome" "A blessed marriage, God willing" "Please" "Many happy returns" "Peace on you" "May I speak to Nadia?" "I don't know what brings him here" " Who?" " Your uncle" "My uncle has always loved me" "He'd never let such an occasion without coming to see me" "Please, Dad, it's only for two hours" "Okay, hurry because everyone is waiting" " Congratulations, Samir" " Thank you" "I want you for a second, come" "I am sorry to keep you" "I want your opinion in a legal issue" " I am not a lawyer" " But you have experiences" "It is a really serious issue" "If someone is caught having an affair with a married woman do you know what sentence he gets?" "I have no idea" "A short time in prison" "I think it's around three years" "What's that got to do with me?" "Maybe he won't go to jail, you know why?" "Maybe he'll get killed by the husband before he gets sentenced" "But that has got nothing to do with me" "Don't you feel that you are playing the fool till the end?" "End of what?" "Do you think that your affair with Kawthar is a secret?" "Kawthar?" "Listen here, don't waste time" "You still have a chance to escape!" "One word from Nadia will send you to hell" "This is nonsense" "I heard you talking to Kawthar with my own ears" "Where was that?" "She recorded your sweet voices on the phone" "about your little love nest and the red hot nights you spend together" "Think quickly" "Don't forget this" "If Nadia doesn't speak up, I will" "Congratulations, Nadia" "Congratulations, Nadia" "She is so pretty" "I ask God for forgiveness the only God the Almighty" "We regret our sins and ask for forgiveness" "and salvation from hell" "Let's pray that this marriage be - a happy, blessed marriage" "and that God grant the couple good, pious children" "Let's pray" "Amen" "Give me your hand" "In the name of God, the Beneficent  the Merciful" "Say after me" "I wed my daughter, Nadia Lotfy, to you according to the teaching of Apu Hanifa and as per the dowry we have agreed to" "I accept the marriage" "No, no, I don't want him, Dad" "Nadia!" "What is it?" "What happened?" "I will never marry him, it's impossible!" "Just tell me what's going on" "I will tell you everything" " Samir is Kawthar's lover" " Shut up!" "Unfortunately, it is true" "You've caused enough damage!" "He didn't do anything, I will tell you everything" "What is between Kawthar and Samir?" "I'll tell you, I have taped their phone calls" "I have all the proof you need" "Who told her uncle?" "Probably her, we can still run" "I will never leave this place" "We're cornered, her uncle told me that Nadia has material evidence" "Even so!" "Are you crazy!" "It is a criminal offense!" "Come with me" "Is there any where we can run away from?" "I am sorry, Nadia is ill, we'll postpone the marriage" "We apologies" "You wait here" "Won't we walk the bride out of the house?" "Call Nanny Halima for me" " They ran away" " Impossible" " That's broof of their crime" " The bastard!" "Nadia!" "Aunt Safiya is innocent, Dad and my uncle is, too" "I was jealous of her, and God took revenge" "Call the hospital right away!" "Nadia!" "Nadia!" " How is she today?" " A lot better" "Will the burns leave scars?" "Unfortunately, her body has been maimed" "Can't plastic surgery help?" "I don't think so" " Thanks" " You are welcome" "Nadia, the doctor put me at ease" "Did he tell you everything?" "Did he tell you my body's maimed?" "Did he tell you I will live..." "Be thankful that God saved you" "Saved me to torture me" " I did you wrong" " We forgive you" "God doesn't forgive me" "God is the Most Merciful" "I deserve no mercy" " Forget the past, dear" " We are all back together" "We can turn a new leaf, Nadia" "Please, God, don't lead me to temptation and don't let me sin and don't let the evil in me triumph over goodness" "Oh, God"
