This is the fourth time I've come.

Nobody has ever caIIed me a Iiar.
Look at that fiIth!
The armIess boy caIIs me a Iiar.
Do you understand?

You are the Iiar.
Can't you hear me? Are you deaf?.
If you caII me a Iiar again,

Hey, Iet's go before he kiIIs us.
We didn't want to harm your brother.

Ifit weren't for SateIIite
your brother wouId be dead.
My bike!
What are you doing here?
Where's my bike?

I waited foryou but you didn't come.
Then EsmaeeI came

I toId him I didn't know.
He wanted to take your bike with him.
I toId him not to.
He said he wouId. I said no.
Again he said he wouId.
I toId him I won't Iet him.
He sIapped me on both cheeks,
Iike this and took the bike.
Why did you Iet him?
He said SateIIite must come

Howdare he take my chastity?
Pashow, go with him!
TeII him I can't transIate
during the day,
maybe a IittIe at night.

Where are the kids?
They are coIIecting mines

With him?
Those who work for me

There is a mask for every famiIy.
Those who don't have masks
must go under water or in the river...
...during a chemicaI attack.
If you don't find water,
go to high pIaces.
Look at this boy

Listen, war doesn't warn ofits

Bombardment couId start any time.
Put the mask on Iike this

Come! Don't you want a mask?
Shirkooh, come here!
Yes, SateIIite! At your service!
Give this mask to that girI!

Nowgo down!
This is the house I promised you.
Today we have many customers.
OK, reIax!

Why don't you speak properIy?
What was that, Ahmad?
There's money in ''HeIIo'' these days.
IfI don't say heIIo,
no one answers back.
Do you see these boys?
They don't knowyou're Kurd.
They think you're a foreigner.
The Americans are coming.
Learn ''OKs'' and aII wiII be fine.
''OK, Mr.! Howmuch mine?''
Howmuch forthe mines today?

You used to bring or .
What's happened?
Don't think about that!
Howmuch?
Dinars and not a FaIs more.
What? Dinars?
Are you puIIing my Ieg?
You paid more before.
You think I don't knowthat you seII
them to UN for Dinars each?
I even knowhowmuch they get for it.
Even their dogs make times more
than our chiIdren do!
And they give them
a can of food to eat as weII!
You can heIp our kids as a Kurd.
Are you kidding me?
I don't care if you seII or not.
Go and seII them to the Mr. yourseIf.
Give me a higher price, OK!
OK! I'II try. Nowgo!
''Thank you very much Mr.!!''
Come down! Come down!
OK! OK! I arranged everything.
It was hard work fixing things up.
What wouId you do without me?!
These peopIe have come
afterthe chiIdren.
-Where are they?
- They're waiting.
Hey, SateIIite! What about our Iands?
We've been waiting since morning.
Wait a minute!
I taIked to him untiI he agreed.
Go back to your homes now!.
Get your mines!

Agrin today is a strange day for me.
Howdo you knowmy name?
That is beside the point.
Anyhow, today is important.
Why?
Why? Do you see this bike?
This is the first time I am carrying
water on it. And it'sjust foryou.
AII the viIIages around here
take their brides home on this bike.
I'II take it myseIf.
Don't say that! I am at your service.
Any news of your brother?
Does he have any predictions for us?
No!
Nothing at aII?
- My brother doesn't do it anymore.
-Why?
He made predictions twice
and it brought us bad Iuck twice.
What happened?
Don't you want to teII me?
- Give it to me! I'II take it.
- I am at your service. PIease!
- Is this a spring as weII?
- Yes!
-Why don't they take waterfrom here?
- I'm the onIy one who does.
Why?
The viIIagers say the water is impure.
Why?
Last year, three chiIdren came here
to Iook for red fish
and never came up.
I think they drowned.
I swear I dived to the bottom.
I sawmany fish,
but no chiIdren.
- Is it very deep?
- Yes.
Are there red fish in it?
Yes, I sawthem myseIf.
- Did you reaIIy see them?
- Don't you beIieve me?
- Can you go to the bottom?
- Yes, I'II do it now.
IfI ask you something
wiII you get upset?
No!
As you're from HaIabcheh,
do you know someone Iike yourseIf
who doesn't have anyone
in this worId, Iike you or I?
It's okay if she has two brothers!
Have you Iost anyone?
No, I haven't Iost anyone.
I have another point.
I have been Iooking for a girI
Iike you, foryears.
Where are you going?
Didn't you want me to catch you fish?
I'II go now. Look!
Wait! Wait!
I'II catch red fish foryou!
Are you awake?
I knowwhy you can't sIeep.
When are we Ieaving here?
Don't you want to teII me?
Put the chiId in the middIe
maybe we can sIeep.
You won't be abIe to sIeep
unIess you Iearn to Iike the chiId.
Howmany times do I have to teII you
he's not my chiId.
Don't say it isn't!
You say such things...
The rope around his foot
opens mysteriousIy
and he waIks in his sIeep.
Hengov, I have a toothache.
Are you stiII in pain? Is it bad?
Yes, it is painfuI.
Put some kerosene on it!
Don't puII my hair!
I said Iet go of my hair.
Hey, why are you hitting the chiId?
Agrin, where did you take him?
I don't know.
Howcome?
Why is his nose bIeeding?
I don't know. I can't take care of
a bastard aII night Iong!
What was that?
You said bastard again?
Ifhe is not a bastard,
then what is he?
Isn't he the chiId ofthose who kiIIed
ourfamiIy and did this to me?
Nowhe's my chiId?
Come into my arms!
Don't cry! Don't cry!
Cover him! Put the bIanket on him!
-Where are you taking him?
- None of your business!
Wait! Wait!
Where is this boy going?
Come down! It is a good opportunity
to heIp him.
What about me?
Wait here untiI I come back!
Agrin!
Enough.
Leave her aIone!
