Fighter

Hey, what are you up to?

The neighbors can see you. Go and help your mother.

That's better, girls.

What the hell are you doing? You look ridiculous.

Relax, moron!

Come on then. Come on...

God, are you weak.

That hurt, huh? I didn't mean it.

Come on, man. Stand up.

Hey ... Hey! That's enough! Stop!

What are you doin'? - She asked for it!

What's happening here?

Right, go and get changed! Out ...! Out!

Maja, stop it!

I can't have you on my team if you can't control yourself.

Do you know this club? They train at competition level.

And by the way, it's a mixed team. Men and women practice together.

Hey, what's up, little sister? You finished early today.

You're early, too. - Yeah, a bit.

Did you butter some potatoes? - I made mashed potatoes.

Jump in the back seat. And don't look at me like that.

Hi. Sorry

My brother insisted on following me all the way over.

He's parked outside. - Okay. I'm just glad you came.

Hi. - Hi ...

I was afraid you'd left. - Never without you.

He's so annoying.

Hi, Jasmin. - Hi.

Damn ... Isn't that your brother?

Hey, Memet. - What's up?

I'm taking Aicha home.

See you later. - Yeah.

They're gone.

Dad? - Yes?

I get a lot of credit in the club.

The coach thinks I ought to start in a new Kung Fu club.

It's a mixed team. - Mixed?

Yeah, men and women practice together. But it's at an elite level.

Have you lost your mind?

I'm learning to take care of myself. - You've been doing it for 3 years!

If you can't take care of yourself yet, I'll do it.

What do you think Jasmin's family will say?

It's a great opportunity. - Your opportunity is an education.

I don't want you wasting time on all kinds of other things.

But Dad ... - End of discussion.

Women don't fight. Especially not with men.

What would people say, if you were fooling around with a lot of men?

That's so old-school, Dad. It's not like you think.

I should never have let you start.

Listen to me. From now on, Kung Fu is forbidden.

There's no more to discuss. Go in and help your mother.

What's happening? - I don't know. It just fell down.

Aren't you coming? - No, later. Say hi to Mum.

Okay. See you.

Can I join your team? - English, please.

I just want to ...

I just wanted to ask if I can start on your team.

Where are you from?

It's a girl team. It's not a real team.

Our teacher, she's practising with us after school.

This is a serious team. We practise four days a week.

Yeah.

It's not for you.

Okay. It's just ...

I think I'm good.

Or I think I can be good.

I'm not so good now but ... I can be really good. I know that.

You try today. - Okay.

Go to practise room.

Hi, my name's Sofie. - Aicha.

Are you new on the team?

Yeah. - Cool.

One!

Two!

What belt are you?

Black.

Almost black.

Quiet!

Emil. Fight Aicha.

Look your opponent in his eyes. Focus. Look eyes ...

You okay?

Aicha!

You're fast. Good. Come back Monday.

Thank you.

Congratulations. - She's so amazing.

Her father wants you to drive a cab for him.

That would be good for you, Dad. - Let's call your mother now.

Jasmin's father has accepted Ali. Tell the girls.

Where is Aicha?

That eye of yours makes me ashamed.

Leave the girl alone. It's not her fault the door hit her.

Have you spoken to Jasmin's father about the taxi job?

He's a good man. I'm sure it will work out.

Shouldn't you get a driver's license first?

Our Ali has signed the papers for the flat. Have you seen it?

Yes, it's nice.

When is your training finished? - In six months.

How is school, my girl? - It's fine.

Fetch the cookies.

She's going to be a doctor, we hope. Just like her brother Ali, and Jasmin.

When she's finished, we can make a family hospital.

What happened to your eye? - Someone opened a door in my face.

How?

I was just walking along ... and ... - It was one of the boys at school.

He apologized. - Good.

Please take one. - It'll be gone before the engagement.

I've already told her that she looks better with brown eyes.

You can have a cab when you get your taxi driver's license.

Thank you. God bless you.

How stupid do you think I am?

What do you mean? - Hit by a door?

You do as Dad tells you. I'm damn tired of being your babysitter.

I'm moving out, and you better behave.

Do well in school! Don't you dare ruin my engagement.

You graduate soon. We don't have "almost black belt".

Emil ...

You practise with Aicha.

What about Sofie?

You practise with Emil. Tomorrow!

I can't. I have to go to a girl party.

Party? You study Kung Fu. Practise!

Hi!

Congratulations. - Thanks.

Are you leaving? - I have a stomach ache.

Listen, Aicha ... You've gotta be on time. I don't want to wait for you.

Hi. - Hi.

Do you read me? - I'm sorry. It won't happen again.

Don't you realise why I'm mad? - I'm sorry.

Why the ...? The flat of your hand, okay?

You want to take a break? - No. Come on.

Hold on. Block with one hand. Up by your head, okay?

Up by your head.

The other one, too.

That's okay. Don't worry.

Is it too hard?

That's real sweet. We'll stop, if it's too hard.

You want a break? - I thought this was a warm-up.

It is. Put on your running shoes. We'll go running.

Ready? Do ten quick ones.

Are you ready? - That wasn't ten.

Come on, Aicha, catch up with me.

Wait a sec ...

If it's too much for you, take a break. See ya!

Where you goin'?

And half an hour later ...

Too bad you couldn't beat me on the last 100 meters.

Not that fast, huh? - Don't you think?

No, I don't.

Your name ... "Aicha" ...? - It's Turkish.

It's real pretty. - Thanks.

So you're a Muslim from a Muslim country?

Yes. So I'm a Muslim from a Muslim country.

And you're a Christian from a Christian country, or what?

Uhh ... Yeah. - Okay.

It's not because ...

It's just that I don't know many girls ... who are.

Who are what? - Well ...

Maybe you're being forced to marry someone. What do I know?

Oh, get real ...!

That was a stupid thing to say. Sorry.

I just like to know a bit about the people I practise with.

And you're different.

Not in a bad way. In a cool way.

And I like you a lot.

No, no, no ... That sounds all wrong. Not like that ... shit!

Okay ... - I'm just tired of the same questions.

Ask me a question as though I weren't a Muslim.

You got a boyfriend?

No ... And I don't want one.

Stop looking at me like that. - You always hit me on the nipple.

Well ...

Aicha Erman ...

What have you decided?

What do you want to do after high school?

Go to medical school. - Medical school ...

Then I'd get my act more together, if I were you.

Sorry. - What are you doing?

Don't you go the other way? - Yeah.

To the left. - Okay, okay.

No fooling around. Remember that. - Okay.

Again.

... 25 ... 26 ...

Hey, Aicha? Why don't you sign up for the championships?

Give it a shot. Come on. - I don't think they'll choose me.

Then you better not sign up.

Nice.

There! - Great!

That was fun. - Yeah. I was wondering ...

Shall we go practise later?

Okay.

Three o'clock? Three o'clock. - Okay.

See you later ... Bye.

Bye. - Bye.

I'll bring Dad his dinner, okay? - If you like.

But isn't it a bit early? - Not really. See you later.

Hi. I've found you a hair-do for the party. Come ...

How's it going to look? - I thought you knew.

Are you going somewhere? - Nope.

You have to look pretty ...

My brother will be at the party, too. - Really?
