Life (Hayat)

Clothes, underwear...

All gifts and everything's here.

These should be all.

These are the jewelry...

We checked carefully.

Some stuff may be missing. Please, let us know.

Forgive me for coming here so boorishly.

This is really not the right time Memet.

First we should find the girl.

What's the rush?

Did you go to the police?

Listen to me.

Let's go to the Police Station and report.

Then all of us, including Riza, we can decide...

Uncle Burhan!

Thanks.

There's no need to talk about this anymore.

I'm already ashamed.

Take the gifts back.

As if this engagement never happened. Forget about us.

I don't have a daughter anymore.

I'll kill her myself, if she comes back alive.

If she's dead, I'll feed her to the dogs.

Repent, Memet!

You shouldn't speak like this about your daughter.

You shouldn't imagine such things...

even for your enemies!

Excuse me.

Memet!

Why did she run away?

He didn't say and I didn't push him.

You didn't see how he was...

It must be because of me.

Why? What have you done to her?

What could I possibly do to her?

She didn't want me.

She ran away when her father forced her.

Son, you really like insulting yourself!

- Grandfather? - Yes.

Did we buy all of these?

Yes, we did.

Is this how it happens?

What happens?

This...

Are the gifts returned, when the engagement is broken off?

What else can be done?

When the ox dies, the partnership's over, huh?

Well...

Gee!

What is this?

Get up, son. We're running late.

Enough.

- I have a question. - Yes?

Aren't you tired of getting up every morning to prepare a nice breakfast?

I'm tired of eating, you're not tired of preparing.

- What happened? - Forgot the bread.

Aren't you?

I am.

But what to do?

Then don't.

What will you eat, if I don't?

- I'll eat something. - No way!

Nothing can replace a good breakfast.

You shouldn't go to work without it. Then...

As soon as you start working, you start thinking about lunch.

There is an enormous Argentine dogo next to my car...

- What is an Argentine dogo? - A breed of large dogs.

With small eyes and ears.

- I don't recall... - Let me show...

That's it.

- Oh God! What is this! - Argentine dogo.

I approached slowly. It saw me.

Then, whoop, it jumped into the car.

It lied down on the car seat.

I'm scared, it's a huge animal.

I hollered, but it wouldn't move.

So I grabbed a bat I had in the trunk...

- You didn't hit the animal, did you? - Of course not!

That breed is very meek...

But it still looks scary.

Anyway...

I poked it a little, but it wouldn't move.

It did move to the back seat, eventually.

It's so big you can't even see the seat...

- What was it looking for? - We asked, but it wouldn't tell...

It must have thought the car was its own...

How so?

Coskun said, a car left it there a couple of days ago.

The car must have looked like mine...

- Those are very fond of their owners. - Dogs really are.

After a while I called Coskun for help.

He said "No worries, you step away."

He opened the back seat door and closed the others.

He hosed some water to the windows. The dog was afraid, of course.

It was stubborn for a while,

but at the end it gave up and left.

Mine wasn't the first car it stepped in.

Look what I've been through out of nowhere.

- Uncle, I have a question. - Ask, son.

How come such things always happen to you?

What do you mean?

All the interesting stuff keeps finding you.

- We just get to witness it from the side. - That's not true.

Surely, such things happen to you, but you don't realize it.

Father knows, I have always been a highly aware person.

Like I have good antennae, you know.

Leave it!

Speak of the devil.

I was just about to text you.

I'm working.

Swear to God?

Swear to God?

A waitress? Why?

I see...

I see...

No!

Dursun wouldn't give her to anyone.

He'd keep people's hopes high, but fuck her himself. Jerk!

I see... I see...

So we say dinner plus sex, huh?

Did we come right?

I think it was here.

Thanks.

I'll pass, thanks.

Haven't you undressed yet?

- I have. But I dressed back. - Why?

I don't want it.

Don't you want me?

Nothing like that.

I'm not in my right mind.

Did something happen?

Nothing happened.

Then sit here.

Take it off.

No need to rush.

Tea?

No.

- Alcohol? - No.

Give me five minutes then.

Just five minutes.

I'll handle it.

Wait!

Stop it!

I said stop.

I can't concentrate.

Don't embarrass me.

- Riza, what about your business? - What business?

The engagement and wedding stuff.

Has something happened?

- Oh, that business went kaput. - How?

- We broke off the engagement. - Swear to God?

- Swear to God. - Why?

When we realized that it wouldn't work,

we talked and decided to go our own ways.

Look at that...

- When did that happen? - It's been a while.

- I'm sorry bro. - Nothing to do, I guess...

Never mind, bro!

It could have turned out to be sexual incompatibility to.

I'm sorry I'm bothering you.

That's OK.

Can I come in?

Are you ill?

No, I'm fine.

Are you hungry?

No, but I'd like a glass of water.

I'm dizzy.

Here.

Here.

Riza...

We're running late.

"One minute, my friend."

"I have a question", he said...

"Are we the UN organization or the Red Cross?"

"This is getting way outta control," he said.

"Syrians are one thing. Then there are Afghans,

Uzbek, Kirghiz, African..."

He said, a friend of mine just witnessed a fight between

the Sudanese and the Mozambican in the middle of Ankara.

They got drunk in a pub,

stood against each other in the street.

And fought until the morning.

The police just watched them fight,

because they were diplomats, they had immunity...

"How about that," he said.

"Our citizens are not immune, but the Mozambican are, huh?"

"Where the fuck is Mozambique?"

"I can't point it in a map if they offered money."

How did we laugh when he said that...

I was basically on the floor laughing.

He destroyed us all.

Very entertaining, very funny guy.

Come on.

- You go. - Why?

I'll stop by somewhere.

- We can drop you off. - No, I will walk.

- Don't be too late. - I won't.

Riza!

- Where to? - Home.

- What are these? - Nothing.
