Hands up! The cowboy from outer space commands you!

Lightmen, supermen, come on...

Get a move-on. Don�t hang back.

Run over here! �ener, I found a dead one! Here he is!

Let�s have a look.

- Oh mother! - Like a hyena!

- Last year I too found a skull in our village. - Last year? My foot!

- He can�t go to paradise now, can�t he, �nder? - Of couse he can�t.

Stop that damned whining!

What if we didn't go in?

Where can you arouse a man?

His arms, his knees, his ears ...

his feet, even his private parts!

You take them in your hand, fondle them, tickle them. Does he grow hard?

It's nothing to be ashamed of, hussy! Have you never touched it?

You ought to open a new house for this business, Didar Abla.

Where I shall display all of you hussies!

Sevda, girl� Go open the door!

Come in.

We've brought you something.

I'll volunteer, Didar Abla. But you must persuade Kadir.

Do you want me get killed, girl?

- Ayg�l, you're so quiet. - What if we called that Didar woman.

- � Cuma pleasing you in bed, I guess. - Mother!

Isn't she the daughter-in-law of the shopkeeper �iran?

Her husband has been visiting Feride, almost for a year now.

He doesn't even pay attention his wife's needs. She's not stranger, anyway. My own sister's daughter.

He's always running after that slut! May the devil take him!

You get out, I'll have a talk with Nezaket.

I too want to learn.

- Or doesn't your man touch you anymore? - Shame on you, girl!

You have to be flirtatious in front of him.

You must arouse your husband.

Pull down your pyjamas to your feet, don't hide your lips and nose behind a scarf.

- Right now, if he wanted to touch you, all he has is a piece of rag. - Didar abla!

And why shouldn't he touch his woman?

- You open up a bit, show him your snowy throat. - Mother!

- Mother, come here! - Look at those shapely legs!

- Mother! - What's going on, daughter?

Didar Abla, we're leaving.

What's the matter, girl? Getting restless?

As if anybody would listen to my worries.

- Doesn't Cuma caress you, girl? - What if he did.

- Take care, Didar Abla. - Hoping to see you soon.

Mine too can't tear himself away from the gambling table. When he's winning he keeps buying us stuff.

And when he's losing, the pick-up van comes to our gate.

Abooo!

Where the hell have you been, girl?

Didn't I tell you there's a delivery today!

I don't get it! We keep the stuff for two days, and we give it away on the third. Shut up, or I'll strangle you.

Mother's arrived.

Get up and lay the table.

Your so-called father didn't drop by?

Three cards, no. 1, 100 lira! Three cards, no. 1, 100 lira!

Cuma, if you have no money you'll leave the table.

You too join in. Three cards, no. 1, 100 lira! 100 lira

- You take my place, I'll be back. - Ok.

Three cards, no. 1, 100 lira!

- Come with me. Lend me 100 lira. - Ok.

Come on, brother, three cards no. 1, 100 lira.

Two tea with sugar!

Cuma's son has swallowed poison. Let's collect money for the doctor.

Thank you.

I want 200 lira.

- What did Topal want in here? - Cuma's son has swallowed poison.

He's gambling away the doctor's fee at Zeynel's place, believe me!

If you're lying to me I'll break your neck, man!

If you don't believe me, look for yourself, Cemal abi.

Three cards, no. 1, 100 lira!

100 lira!

You'll pay your tea debts too now, right?

Do you have a gold tooth left, Cuma?

Surely Ayg�l pulled them out too, sonny.

How else did she buy her nylons from the Arab's shop?

We've collected the money so that you can gamble, buddy?

If you want to call yourself a man, you can't act like this!

Leave the dishonest dog alone, Cemal abi� God has struck him anyway.

Don't you dare show your face again! Get lost!

Pay up!

Get up and brush your teeth.

Don't sniffle!

But you've just washed your mouth!

Don't sniffle!

I'm fed up with your lying here like a piece of wood.

- They'll wake up. - So what...

- I thought I'd drop by. - My brother-in-law has suddenly turned up.

It seems he's brought news from Germany! The news be screwed!

I'll entertain you tomorrow night.

All right.

Get up, woman, bring me ayran*. [yoghurt drink]

I'm fed up with your drinking ayran each night.

I'm telling you to get up, woman. What else do you give me but ayran?

You're pawing me, and I don't give myself to you, is that it?

But I was going to get you ayran.

Very well, get it.

My father told me you'd go to the State Liquor Store.

Why am I always the one who has to run errands? Go to the Liquor Store, the vegetable market, the Land Registry Office.

- What's so bad about it? You're moving around. - Forget it, I'm feeling rotten anyway.

Till I'm back, nobody buys on credit, get it?

Whenever you look after the shop, the accounts books get into a mess.

My mother sends greetings, Cemal abi... She wants 20 eggs.

You'd better empty out the whole shop, rascal.

- How much are they, by the way? - 25 lira.

Thanks.

Our debts have piled up ...

- Cuma hasn't found work yet. - What would you like? Don't feel shy.

My eldest daughter needs a notebook. Some olives, rice, yellow soap.

That's it.

- I heard they're looking for female workers at our factory. - Why, thank you ...

If you're interested, we carry some weight with them.

I don't know ... thank you

My brother-in-law has left today.

I'll come after dark.

Did she pay?

- She paid. Why shouldn't she have paid? - You ought to know.

This is for you.

Mother's coming.

Don't get your clothes dirty.

Come in.

But you'll pluck out my eyebrows. My front looks like a jungle.

Did you see it in your dream, girl? Early this morning.

Lie down.

- Let's make some k�s�r*, nice and sour. - Do you have any fine bulgur? [bulgur salad]

As fine as flakes. My brother-in-law brought some from the village.

- Let's boil some leaves. - You front is shining like the moon now, girl.

Bless your hands.

Maybe tonight Kadir abi will caress you here.

Heaven forbid, girl! That was long ago. Nowadays, as soon as Kadir appears down there ...

I'm all a-flutter, you wouldn't believe it! I have to wear three pairs of panty hose.

- Let me check, girl. - Don't!

- Doesn't Kadir abi tickle you down there? - Don't!

Let one or two months pass. There's been talk of a layoff.

Then we'll ask �eref Usta again.

Cemal abi said "If you want to, we'll call the shots". Should I give it a try, girl?

- If I dared it, my man would kill me, I swear he would. - I don't pay any attention to Cuma.

- Hey, what's up, girl? - Run along, girl.

� the moon rising at night, let me reach the dawn.

� two pretty girls here, I'd rather screw the younger one

The big factories produce them nowadays. Don't make a fuss and say it's undercharged.

Soon this place will close down too.

come on, abi�

Kids, grown-ups, babies, grandpas, slippers!

- The guy playing over there, isn't that Cemal from the �iran Shop? - Which one?

Him!

I see ... that's him ...

Are you looking for someone?

- Is it illegal to look? - We've heard you're taking in women workers.

Do you know anybody at the factory? A friend, a sweetheart?

- You keep your grin for your wife's panties! - Shut up, girl!

Eggs 20 lira!

� �iki �iki baba!

� - Hayni hayni yaba... - Hayni hayni yaba...

� - Helik melik duni... - Helik melik duni...

� Gel fakiri yaba...

Emine abla, do you think this would suit me?

I guess your man's about to come back from Germany.

When you wear that, Cuma abi would admire ...

For goodness sake, as if he'd ever notice ...

Have a spell read over him, why not try to have him bewitched?

What should I have Cuma bewitched for?

� Helik melik duni... Gel fakiri yaba...

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

- Come on, say a prayer, daughter! - Bismillah, bismillah...

Bismillah, bismillah...

What kind of a dinner is this, woman!

Here it comes, don't be so impatient!

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

You wanted ayran, and now you're not drinking.

I'll drink it, mother.

This dish is too dry. I wish we'd made some Cac�k [Tzatziki].

This dish is too dry.

Drink it, son, for God's sake. Or the food will stick in your throat.

- I'll drink it, mother. - Mother said it could stick in your throat. Since you wanted ayran...

I've had enough of that silly talk! If he won't drink it I will. Allah, Allah!

Bayram, don't drink it!

Pour that bewitched ayran down the sink! Don't make me smash your face!

- What's going on? - They're trying to trap and bewitch me.

Trying to put a spell on me even when I'm pissing!

So you've been playing the "ayran trick" on Cemal?

Have you women gone crazy?

I swear I'm fed up with their troubles. May God save me from this sorrow.

Cemal abi!

You told me about the factory looking for workers.

- If they're still willing � - They are. We'll see to it.

Thank you.

- Rak�m amca, hallo. - Hallo, son.

- What did she want? - Give me a packet of Samsun cigarettes.

Greetings to your father.

He mustn't send you here to buy Rak�. The next time he should come himself.

- �hsan abi� - Hallo!

Please come in, �hsan abi, welcome.

- And how are you, Rak�m efendi? - I'm fine.

Please wrap up a cut of cheese for me. Of the good quality stuff.

Our kids don't eat the cheap variety, you know.

- How's the wife? - The wife? Fine, fine. What about yours?

Come and visit us, with your wife. We'll buy some cakes from �i�li.

Our people don't like the local women.

- But my door's open to you. - We'll see, �hsan abi...

Come to dinner. We'll have choice meat.

Ours don't touch cheap meat.

- We'll be expecting you. - �n�allah, �hsan abi.

Good God, even if his wife were a piece of shit, still she wouldn't touch cheap meat!

Let her eat out my fanny.

- For me too! For me too!

Here you are, darling.

� I'm chained like a convict

� I've become love's slave, no way out

� the pay for one's life, the name with the letter ...

� your longing brought me to this state

Say your prayer, kid. Those who don't say a prayer will get nothing.

If I win, I'll bring a whole tray of baklava* tomorrow. [pastry]

Have one.

Take it.

You too have a piece.

Don't push. You too, hold out your bread.

Come on.

- Who's it for, girl? - The Cuma family ...

Empty it and bring it back.

� my world has turned dark, life without you has no meaning

You've lost your manhood, and got left with what, I wonder!

Support me just once as your wife! What's the big deal?

Even if I ended up in a brothel, you still wouldn't care.

Open your mouth and say something!

You might at least ask me how I could manage in the factory with four children!

What if I said I'd find work? What if I said, stay home and look after the children ...

Every woman's husband finds work, only you don't, is that it?

Is there another man as incapable as you to support a household?

Get out and take a stroll in the quarter. Get off my back!

As if it weren't enough to give birth to four children.

You seem to prefer to sleep outside the door. Since you can't give up going to the coffeehouse ...

� I'm burning with love for you, what can I do ...

I'm toiling with those ball pens, and you're stuffing yourself outside, is that it?

� your longing made me sink that low

I hope nobody saw you?

We know that speech by heart now, girl. Perhaps one of those dogs saw me.

The dogs might know, the men too. Yet I'm always afraid, I don't know why.

What's the best remedy against fear, girl?

I won't stay long. We've started the night shift today.

- What's the hurry, girl? - Is it a sin to long for you?

- Good bye. - See you.

- You go ahead. - Ok.

I'd like to have a clear answer. Will they take me in?

You must have four ID photos made, I'll find a way.

- I'll have them made right now. - Good.

- An ID photo. - Please come in.

Lemons ... fresh lemons

Don't shout like this, look here...

They don't care about the freshness. And raise your voice a bit.

Come and get those lemons! Vitamins! Yatak limonu ???

The juice of one fills a glass. Juicy, juicy! Get those lemons.

- The juice of one fills a glass. - The juice of one fills a glass.

Juicy, juicy! Get those lemons.

1000 lira, 1000 lira!

Ok.

- Let's take another one, artistic this time. - I wouldn't know ...

Sure you know! What's the big deal, sweetie. And I'll show you the pose.

- If it turns out pretty, you must display me in the window! - My machine turns them out pretty, don't worry.

Take off your headscarf.

- Don't! - If I had beautiful hair like that ...

Wait, I'll brush it.

Only, don't interfere. I'll chose my own pose.

My little daddy ...

Are you never going to leave me alone, daughter?

- Grandma said so, it's noon. - So it's noon?

- Bring me some ayran. - Go to Ayg�l. Let her bring you ayran.

- What do you mean, woman? - Hafize abla saw you this morning.

And the other day too, in front of the shop. Am I lying?

- You two were walking down the street like husband and wife. - Look here!

- Don't slander another man's wife! - Didn't she cross your path this morning?

Didn't she tell you "My husband makes me unhappy. You'll be my husband"?

- Don't talk with your womb! - So I'm talking with my womb now?

I've already got Feride in my womb, now that slut Ayg�l ...

Slandering is a sin too, for God's sake!

The woman is looking for honest work, and you all sit at home and call her a slut.

You can tell it to mother, call in the hoca! What are you waiting for!

You have no respect for your elders!

Whether you love your wife or beat her, still you mustn't shout inside the home.

We've learned this from our parents.

After all, she's my niece!

Did I bring her here from the village just to break her heart. You ought to be ashamed.

It's you who brought her to this state. By spoiling her.

You just can't find in her what you're used to with the city women.

If she displayed her hair and her behind, would you like her better then?

� I don't like food cooked with olive oil

� I don't wear dresses made of cheap prints

� I don't wear dresses made of cheap prints

� I've grown used to love beauty

� ugliness ...

Grinning at me like a dog!

That's all I need, a damned skull!

Fesuphanallah! [Good grief]

Don't cry. I'd die for you.

I'm fed up with all of you, I am.

- Hasn't Cuma come home yet? - He hasn't. Can't you see?

"You go ahead, I'll come later" he said, yenge.

May he drop dead. It's a lie.

Shame on you, yenge. Just for three pennies.

It's a pity. If I had a such a rose of wife like you ...

I say!

Fetch your father from the coffeehouse.

Wait.

This is the way of the world. If I had such a beautiful wife ...

- Is my father here? - And who's your father? - Cuma!

- Is Ayg�l your mother? - Yes. - Is it true that your mother gave your father a beating?

Run along.

- What are you offering another man's honest wife? - Wait.

Wait, fellow countryman. Listen, let me explain.

What business do you have sitting with another man's wife, scoundrel?

It's a virtue to rent out, but a sin to ask for rent, is that it?

- He's still talking, the bastard! I spit in your face. - That's enough, let's forget about it.

- We've turned watchmen over Cuma's wife. - For goodness sake.

Take it, my darling.

Just you cry over your mother's fate.

Ayg�l... What's happened?

Since you've stopped bringing bread to your home, at least try to defend its honour!

I've applied for work at the factory, you know it too.

Don't you sleep over at the coffeehouse already? Isn't your home Zeynel's place already?

Go and fill your belly at Zeynel's! You'd run to him if he called you.

Stop looking down at the floor! It's not the floor's fault!

� the yoghurt seller has come, shake your belly and dance, Mrs Lorke

� he's drunk some Ayran, his belly's swollen - Yoghurt, my mother-in-law's recipe!

� Lorke, Lorke, Lorke, Lorke, Mrs Lorke...

� he's eaten pumpkin and shit his pants - Yoghurt, my mother-in-law's recipe!

The factories never stop working, don't they?

They don't. Otherwise they'd die.

Off limits to unauthorized personnel!

Enjoy your meal.

Come on, abi� Get a move-on!

Come oni!

Goal! Goal!

Our Cemal abi is the greatest!

Congratulations, Cemal!

- I can't handle it. - Why not? What happened?

- Nothing ... I keep thinking of my children. - I only know your son, are there more?

And I can't get used to the work.

Do you think the others are smarter than you? They won't put pressure on you at the beginning.

Come on. It's noting to cry over.

Come on.

- May your work here be prosperous, sister. - I hope it will.

- What's your name? - Ayg�l� - I'm called "chubby Hayriye".

"Chubby" can talk your ear off. She talks faster than she works.

Those fast workers, they can eat my arse!

Man, I wish I were in the women's changing room right now ...

You go up to Ziynet abla and tell her: "Girl, let me give you bracelet."

And check out her tits.

Who gives a shit about Ziynet when there's a newcomer.

I wish I could grab her one day ...

Al��!� Al��!...

Hop hop... Shame on you, man! You've got a wife at home.

Have you heard the news, kids?

The women get free shoes at the end of shift.

Come here, girl. You see, your feet were auspicious.

Hurry up a bit. They're all the same brand.

- What size? - 35.

Are you serious, girl? Have you got them in 35, Emine abla?

No, the smallest is 36.

You put in some wadding at the heel.

� I'll by my girl a box of make-up, let her paint herself in all the colours

� Oh, oh, oh� chewing-gum, Oh, oh, oh� Marlborough cigarettes

� I'l buy my girl a kilo of sausages, she'll give birth to lots of babies

- Where to, you girl from our village? - I?

- From what section are you? - No idea.

Open your bag.

- Didn't you get any fun out of her? Drop it now! - You can paw some more tomorrow.

What do you take me for? A thief?

Cemal abi, is the factory like this? They think everybody's a thief?

It's a good thing they're checking, there's been some smuggling at the factory.

- If you want to be a worker, you must accept such things. - I shall never accept this.

- You'd never think she was Cuma's wife. - The Cuma who's always drooping at the head. - Yeah.

- Really? What a pity. - Yes.

Some pick up the apples from the ground, and some from the branch, my lion.

�ener! �nder!

Don't cry, girl. Hanife abla!

Have you managed to take care of her, Nuran? And your mother could die for you.

I wish she didn't cry so much. When I take her in my arms she's quiet, when I put her down, she cries.

My arms are tired out, I'm telling you.

- Was it hard? Tell me. - Hard? I'm dead!

Men and women running about, all mixed up together!

Pick up the bread, boy.

Kiss it! What a donkey-colt!* [traditional gesture after you drop the bread]

- What are you getting angry about, girl? - I'm fed up, really.

The children too have become miserable. I'm thinking of sending �ener to my mother.

There's a nursery at the factory. I could sent ��kran there.

For goodness sake, bac�! They give them pills to make them sleep. Like chicken!

- I wouldn't know ...

- Hanife, girl! - Good grief, another furniture delivery.

I'll leave a message at Zeynel's place next week.

We've knocked ourselves out. Pay out another 100. "We've garnished all the logs in the world for you."

What garnish, scoundrel! You've just worked straight. Only so much ... That's enough.

- Abi, it's not enough. - Give us 100 more, abi! - Enough, I said!

- Please, abu� - No way, abi� - Enough ...

Ayg�l!

Salih efendi is our fellow countryman. Please come in.

Excuse us, yenge...

Consider your problem as solved. Cheers!

Do they look as if they were given sleeping pills?

I've heard they were going to start night shifts. Till the morning?

We finish at 2 a.m. It's not too tiring till 1 o'clock.

After 1 o'clock you start getting sleepy. The women chew gum not to fall asleep.

Cemal abi, at night ... Could you walk me back to our neighbourhood?

I was going to suggest it at lunch, but I hesitated, in public.

- I wouldn't hesitate because of such trifles. - Me neither, actually.

After the night shift, the brothers or husbands wait for most women workers at the gate.

It would never occur to Cuma. It doesn't occur to him either to look after his offspring.

This apple's really tasty. I enjoy them nice and juicy.

- Are you happily married? - Why do you ask?

No special reason. I'm just interested in such things.

Wait a bit.

I'll play football till the bell rings. Then I'll tell you.

Cemal, come on, play for us.

When a man cries, his dick falls off. I'm telling you!

I'll take Nesrin for a walk.

- Don't be late for dinner. - Now he's off to see that slut Ayg�l.

- Don't rage and destroy the peace at home. Keep calm. - Talk is cheap.

Have you done?

- Look at the lion, yenge! - What a funny head you got, boy.

- Take your hands off! - If you cry I'll kill you.

You've been hanging around that Ayg�l a lot lately.

Don't start any gossip, Mustafa! She has four kids! Shame on you!

- Girl, if you want to pick a sweetheart, take one of those officers. - For goodness sake, Ziynet abla!

The guys from Trade School all have diplomas. Even if they're married, so what!

- What's the matter? Have you two been quarreling? - Not at all. What's there to quarrel about?

I swear I envy those two, Hayriye abla.

Didn't we tell you, no cracking around here, man! Otherwise there'd be nothing left for the neighbourhood.

I heard that in old times, there's been a great war here.

Not a war, man! Tahsin abi told me, it was a revolution.

A plane came, I saw it too. And it threw bombs.

Run over here, boys.

Don't remain here, stay with us. Kadir abi will wait here.

His father is supposed to be here. I wish he'd drop dead.

Stop it! This is not the right time for such bosh.

It's the exactly the right time, Kadir abi.

Let's leave. The angels will be watching over him. Come on.

You take the other kids. I won't budge from here.

- Nuran, look after your brother, don't let him leave the house. - Am I not there, girl?

- What business does he have in here? - For goodness sake, how do I know? Maybe he's visiting a patient.

Ayg�l...

- The one who got the haircut? - �ener...

- Is he very bad? - He's swallowed lots of pills. An emergency.

He's on a serum drip.

You leave now.

I'm expecting his father. They left a message at my mother-in-law's.

- I wish him a quick recovery. - Thank you.

Thank you.

That wife and those kids of yours are too much for you!

- What's the matter? - I � look here ...

Cuma's outside. He feels ashamed, he doesn't dare come here.

- So he still has some decency left! - How's �ener?

You should know how he is! He's from your father's seed.

You can't settle accounts in here.

- Stop answering back! This is not the right time. - I won't stop!

I've had enough.

Let me take it, Kadir abi.

If it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have managed.

- Don't tell Cuma. - We won't tell but it's a small neighbourhood.

Come to me, little one.

- I'll visit you tomorrow and help you. - Thank you.

Move a bit.

[traditional gesture after a departure]

I've sworn on the Koran, girl. I'll find a job and work.

Let's reunite for a month. And if I go again to the coffeehouse, you win.

Again you didn't make it.

If you don't hold the spout tight shut the water'll spill out, my lion.

I don't know, abi. How can I hold a spout tight shut?

It seems you've let your wife run free at that factory, my lion.

You weren't able to stop her.

Don't you waste your life? Why do you smoke so much?

- So you're worried about my life? - And what are you worried about?

If you don't like it I won't smoke.

- I've left that house. - How do you mean?

I took the children and left.

I wanted to ask you about a lawyer.

I'm getting a divorce.

She's his cousin, hoca efendi, not a stranger. Should we send her back to the village, with her belongings?

But we must think of this little one, hoca efendi�

- They've written her name on soap and thrown it into running water. - May God destroy their hands!

I see it clearly, she's been sitting on the wrong side of the toilet

By your auspicious beard, the blessed radiance, hoca efendi...

I'll give you some powerful incense. He must take off all this clothes into which you must hide handwritten charms.

All naked, you mean?

Come on, Cemal. Since you told me that you're not afraid.

Hoca efendi said "only 100 times". Your mother is begging you.

For the milk you suckled from your mother.

You talk to them, father.

How can I be naked in front of my sisters-in-law, my daughter? It's a disgrace.

- When you committed the disgrace you should have thought about it. - The sister-in-in-law isn't a stranger, my child.

What if only the men were present. I've told you I shall jump.

But the women must be present too. Hoca efendi said so.

Come on, my child. Let your wife feel at ease. Come on, jump.

Take it then.

I'll undress, like I was born from my mother's womb, so that the magic may work.

- You go to your room. - But hoca efendi ... - Don't start with that hoca now, go to your room!

All you know is about magic and witchcraft. Shame on you all!

Nobody to talk to! Not one human being!

Take them!

Don't look, girl.

You count to 100. May God punish you all!

God forgive me, I'll never do this again!

1 ...

2 ...

Is it all right now? Does your magic work now?

3 ...

4 ...

5 ...

6 ...

7 ...

Convey my greetings to the hoca.

- Mother! - 9 ...

Convey my greetings to the scoundrel 11 ...

12 �

May God curse them! 13 ...

14 ...

Keep count, infamous women!

May it be auspicious!

These gifts are from Cuma. He sends his greetings.

I want no greetings from him. Take back his gifts.

You talk to her, mother. I'm only a sister-in-law.

- He's made a vow on the Koran. - He's full of regrets, more abject than a dog.

You're tiring out your tongues in vain. And you're wearing out my patience.

- Is this your last word? - Yes. I've finally come to my senses.

Don't say later you haven't been warned. You'll get yourself and your husband into trouble.

I'm worn out. Tell him he can do what he likes. I don't care.

Don't look sad.

It's just that I'm afraid your father might come and abduct you.

Let's settle down with our new life a bit first. Ok, �ener?

Say "Ok, mother".

Cuma wouldn't dare, but I'm afraid of my mother-in-law.

Let �ener stay with you and let �brahim come to my house.

How could that child protect you? After two slaps in the face he'll faint.

After all he's a man.

I'm finished. Wait.

Hand me that sheet ...

Don't get naughty!

You get �brahim's things ready, mother.

I'll take them and leave.

You've abandoned everything. Your world. But you haven't given up questioning.

We're in trouble, �brahim. If you backed me up, we might be saved.

Come with me. We'll go to my place.

Teach her a lesson, Dursun!

Whatever she has on her mind, it'll be worse than if she had kicked us out.

You lift your leg like this and spin round very fast.

Come to dinner, �brahim!

Open up, man!

�brahim, they're here!

Ayg�l, open the door!

Get lost!

What's the matter? I don't want him! What else is there to talk about?

You'll make up, got it! For my sake.

- He's sworn on the Koran. - Don't shed blood, Dursun!

I will! They shall make up. For my sake.

- What do you mean, for your sake? - Help! They're killing my husband.

- Drop it, girl. - May God punish you all.

Sending your drunken brother to this house! You ought to be ashamed!

Ill-bred dog like all your kin!

I couldn't stop him. When he drinks he gets mad.

- So you're at ease being a slut? - Let go of me, girl!

- Don't imagine we don't know. - So I'm a slut! What else is new!

I'll cut these ties. I'm boiling with rage, get it?

I'm no longer your wife. I'll file for divorce. You bear that in mind!

You were asking about a lawyer ...

I've asked Mustafa, he'll get the information tomorrow.

- He sent me lipstick and a head-scarf. - What did you do?

What could I do? They left, looking back at me.

Yesterday they raided my home, with my mother-in-law. And my sister-in-law insulted me.

- How do you mean? - What do I know...

"Don't imagine we haven't heard!" she said.

- What could she have heard? - It's just gossip ...

It's obvious they meant you. That something was going on between us.

And the women of my family are again busy with magic and witchcraft. They're quite open about it too.

I don't believe in such things, but a man's nerves get worn down.

I might even have some on me right now.

You see! Allah, Allah! What am I supposed to do with this now?

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim�

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

� Chakaras, Mrs. Mari, Chakaras Give cigarettes to the lads

� get up, Mrs. Mari shake your belly, dance with Chakaras

� boom, boom, clap, come to our house

We have lots of outings, darling. Whenever somebody at the factory has a feast �

It's great� I could drive around forever.

Shall we dance?

- Get up, girl. - I don't know. - For goodness sake, it's no big deal.

Please...

- Come on, girl, what are you waiting for. - Honestly, I don't know!

- What's there to know. Don't act coy. - Come on, girl.

The children are home alone. I wonder if I should leave now.

I'll take you home.

Let's not leave together.

You'll see, she'll wreck the sonny's home too.

- What would your wife think if she saw us together? - She'd pull out your hair.

It's easy to pull it out.

- This shall be my keepsake from you. - If you like.

I'd like to. Why shouldn't I like to?

A packet Samsun cigarettes!

- To the factory? - Yes.

To the factory?

Last night I couldn't sleep. Since I took your pen ...

I sat up and wrote a poem. But I won't show it.

- If you won't, I swear I'll smash up the earth. - It's a kind of prayer.

And it's not worthy of you. I just wrote it with your keepsake pen.

Read it later!

Over my dead body!

I have your "cem�l" before my eyes [very handsome face]

a fire's burning inside me, beating against my heart

I've never felt as close to anybody before.

Nobody else.

You told me "Don't smoke, don't waste your life" I was amazed.

I've thought a lot

about that moment.

That you would think of me that way, that pleased me a lot.

And when you took away my pen ... I didn't expect it at all.

I too don't know what came over me.

100 lira to the one who catches me!

Come on, girl.

- You've caught up with me! - I have!

Pay out 100 lira, man.

Come here, girl.

Let go of me, my headscarf's slipping off.

- And if I can't catch you? - Try me.

- I said, stop! - Why should I stop?

What if I can't catch you?

You see?

You're as swift as a greyhound.

That's me.

So these are the guys you trusted!

So this is it, man?

- We'll give him a beating. - Don't!

Have I never bought you lipstick, girl?

Aren't you ashamed to tell such lies!

Have I never bought you some?

Look at you! You should be ashamed, talking such crap before strangers!

You slip away, we'll handle it. Don't start a quarrel.

Come along, my lion, let's talk like men. Forget about the lipstick. Act like a gentleman.

As if I had a snake in my butt.

She's abducted my children.

She says I didn't buy her lipstick, headscarves.

Next, she'll say I took her for walks without panties!

Speak the truth! Don't disgrace yourself!

You're a man. You can't force beauty.

She says I didn't buy her lipsticks.

If you didn't buy them, so what. Forget about it.

They've starting bargaining. I think each is going to get an equal share of Ayg�l.

- Look here, speak decently! - Forget about them. Let's go home.

Don't get angry. I was worried about you. One cannot trust a drunkard.

What if he had pulled a knife ...

Cemal� Let me tell you something.

- I had a dream last night. - I hope an auspicious one.

- I don't know. - Tell me.

Let me see, how did it go ...

We were married to each other and some people were up against us ...

Maybe we weren't married, only engaged, I'm not sure ...

Something came between, we couldn't reach each other.

I feel the same about you. But I couldn't speak to you before.

I couldn't stand it any longer, so I found this way.

If I hadn't spoken, you'd never have said anything.

I'll leave you here.

Let me come along a bit more. Whenever I leave you I feel like dying.

They'll see us, Cemal.

- Our love shall be greater than anybody else's. - It's greater already.

- No other man arouses me as much as you do. - What was that!

I said: "No other man arouses me as much as you do." Are you surprised?

- You know me, don't you! - Sure I know you, Cemal abi.

Good. You'll remove that picture from the display right now!

- Got it? - Got it, Cemal abi.

I like Cemal. If you want to meet, I'll give you my key.

As if it were up to me!

Come over here.

What's happened?

- When did you have that picture taken? - What picture?

It was even on display in the window. Every passing man looked at it.

I've had it taken for the factory work. How could I know ...

- Are you angry? - It doesn't matter. You know what's best for you.

Wait!

What's the big deal about a picture? You look at your own affair. She's called "Feride".

- I've stopped seeing her. - That's not what they say at the factory.

- I'll give you her address, go and ask her. - Why should I ask? What's it to me?

- That's right, sweetie. What's it to you! - Nothing at all. Didn't she please you anymore?

- She didn't. - Very well.

Are you looking for trouble, woman?

I see a man...

Tall, handsome ...

- Who's that shrew, girl? - How should I know, Didar abla.

My fortune-telling never lies.

You shall leave your husband to live with that man.

- Don't give yourself to him without securities, girl - I haven't even let him feel me up.

Let him just take a whiff but don't put out. He'll slowly burn and give in.

You'll do fine with the love-making part, I'll teach you, girl.

Teach me, Didar abla...

- I wish it were already night. - Why?

- I feel more ashamed in the daylight. - If you're ashamed I desire you even more.

- Don't fumble. I'll undress myself. - Very well. Undress.

- Why haven't you undressed? - You undress first.

Don't feel ashamed.

Darling.

- Have you ever slept with another man besides your husband? - What did you say!

- Nothing. - You're calling me a whore?

I haven't.

Ayg�l!

Ayg�l!

How was it, girl? You're feeling relaxed now?

You're relaxed like a bird.

- All men are the same! Even the best, may they rot in hell! - What's happened, shrewish girl?

- The guy's a millionaire, a Croesus ... - Vehbi Ko�!

- Who's Vehbi Ko�? He owns half of the Grand Bazar!

"Abi", he said� "Have a drink and a bite, I'll give you half of the Grand Bazar."

"So you're trying to bribe again one of our civil servants", I said.

I pulled the Turkish flag out of my breast, he drew back like a dog.

Take our blessings, �hsan!

Long may he live! If all the civil servants were only like �hsan abi ...

Cemal...

- Are you ill? - Why do you ask?

I don't now. What's happened?

Nothing. I've problems at home. I don't feel like going home.

If you have a sorrow, stay with us till it gets better.

But everybody says it's something else. That business with Ayg�l ...

If it's true, it isn't worthy of an upright man. What if your wife did that to you?

It's God's will. We'll get married, my friend.

You won't carry it off, not with all that offspring of hers ...

To tell the truth, I don't get it.

Don't make me even more depressed, Mustafa!

- Where are you going? - I have something to do. I'll be back later.

I've heard he's having an affair with Cuma's wife.

You've all turned into gossiping women!

Ayg�l, look here ...

- Listen to me, don't drive me crazy! - �brahim!

Don't touch a hair of my elder sister!

You ought to feel ashamed. A boy only half your size.

May God punish you!

- What's happened? - Nothing.

- Take my blessings. - Get away from me.

Give one of those b�reks! [flaky pastry filled with cheese etc.]

Your name came up in the restroom. They say you're having an affair with Cemal.

Who's been talking? Let them look after their own affairs.

- They say you're getting divorced because of him. - May my divorce get stuck in their throats.

Gossiping, that's all you do.

- I must talk to you. - I've nothing to talk about with anybody.

Ayg�l!

Shame on you, my son. A married woman!

- Don't ... don't - Cemal� Cemal� stop it!

Leave me alone. If I touched him I'd strangle him anyway!

- And he thinks he's a gentleman! - Stop it, man!

Don't talk, man.

Disperse. You too. Disperse.

Let's run, girl.

Ayg�l han�m! Aren't you afraid ...

aren't you ashamed ... never letting go of our brother?

- Run along, don't shout. - He has a child and a wife.

A wife he loves!

- If you don't leave my brother alone, I'll tear you to pieces. - Move away, man.

- Take back your brother and shove him up your arse! - Run along.

- I know how shameless you are! - Yes, I'm shameless.

A street-walker. Don't talk to me or they'll think you're the same.

Abi, your sisters are harassing Ayg�l abla.

- You piece of trash! So you too have soiled yourself with them? - Get lost!

Get back, you vulgar ... I'll beat you up.

Run home or I'll kill you all!

Ayg�l...

You'd better leave. We've been disgraced in public.

Isn't your so-called mother at home?

I can't handle him anymore. No way!

What am I to do, with those kids?

- I'd rather look after your father than after 10 children. - Ayg�l!

- Don't hide my husband in there! - Come out!

- Don't hide him, I'll tear down your house! - Give us back our brother.

- What's going on, daughter? - I want my husband!

- Slut! - Infidel's off-spring!

Don't hide behind my husband, I'll tear down your house.

It's a shame, women. Go back home.

- On such a blessed day, it's a shame. - The one who ought to be ashamed is in there. Slut!

Take away your sisters from here. This is a family home. Allah, Allah�

Give me back my husband!

Slanderers.

If he's here, come and get that damned husband of yours. Come in and search, shameless women!

- Have a look, girl.

Don't stand there, you too go in and search!

Look here, take a look!

Here!

If you can't manage your husband, is it my fault?

Look here too.

Listen to me. I have four children, I've started working at the factory.

Aren't you ashamed to break into my house, you women?

You too can take back that son of yours if you can find out whom he's screwing right now. Shove him up your arse!

Come here ... check the kitchen ...

Check it out ... don't run away!

The man isn't in here.

I heard them but I still can't believe it. Woe on me!

What a vagabond! And he has a child and a wife!

Do you imagine he'd marry you, with four children?

Who'll want him for a husband? I'm fed up.

- I'm fed up with all of you. Get off my back. - You deserve what's coming to you.

Go to Cemal and tell him he's to keep away from me.

I've no use for a man who sends his mother and wife to my door.

Because of him our hounour isn't worth two pennies.

Look here! I'll kill you if you hurt him!

You run over to Auntie Hanife now.

Run along.

I wish God would take my life too, then I'd be free of all this.

If you're a man, come with me.

- Where are you going, my lion? - I'll come later.

- Good grief, sonny! - You're fooling around with my elder sister, I must kill you.

It's not like you think, �brahim... My intentions are honest.

Because of you our hounour isn't worth two pennies.

I'm not married. I want you to know it.

As soon as your sister gets her divorce, God willing, I'll marry her. I give you my word.

My sister doesn't want you.

Put away the knife, let's talk like men.

Your sister and I love each other dearly.

Our love cannot be explained.

And I haven't been fooling around with your sister either.

I behaved like a beast, she got a bit angry, that's all.

In the �eliktepe Theatre there're showing a karate film.

If I don't make up with your sister, you may kill me. Ok?

You're a real man, bravo.

Who is it?

Me.

What business do you have in here. Go back to your chaste wife.

Ayg�l, you got me wrong.

I'm telling you to leave. And don't come again.

Your mother, your wife, your sisters-in-law, they raided my home this morning.

If you weren't happy with your wife, they wouldn't act like that.

If you didn't give them some hope, they wouldn't have done it. Right?

- Ayg�l� - Let go of me!

I'm a bad woman. Go to your chaste wife.

Don't take all the blame. You're not living in a brothel.

I hadn't even touched you, and you're already going off "ah, oh". I was surprised.

What do I know, Didar taught me. You'll make him burn with lust, she said.

What about you and your artist act?

Girl, why didn't you tell me that Didar taught you! I was mad with jealousy for days, I wanted to kill you.

How I longed for you.

You're married. And you have a child.

Aren't you married too?

My situation is different.

- I've filed for divorce. - And I'm not even officially married.

Who wants to be officially married to you anyway!

- What if somebody wanted to marry you? - Who might that be?

Me.

Or do you want us to live in sin?

I've no faith in us getting married.

It seems like a lie to me.

Did you ever see a united couple, even in a movie?

I never saw one.

They'll extinguish our fire, that's what I think.

Four children, and one of yours, that makes five...

A wife ... and a husband ...

The marriage is going to happen, either early or later.

I say amen. I've been praying day and night.

- This job needs a snake. - We'll find one, hoca efendi.

When the moon's sickle is as thin as a thread, you'll pour snake water on her doorstep.

On that doorstep her foot will be cut, like this.

- But it must be a poisonous snake. - It's a very powerful magic, isn't it?

There isn't any more powerful. He'll see her as a snake, he won't be able to go near her.

- Usta, the soups! - Here I am!

- �nder! �ener! - What is it

- Come here! - Let's go to him, no need to tell mother.

I've started to work here. You'll have a nice hot soup.

They're my sons ...

Drink it.

Your mother has taken me to court.

This is our final resort, by God. May You endow that snake water with Your power.

Save my Cemal from that infidel girl!

This is not the time to cry. What did Hoca efendi say?

You'll lend power to your prayer. Open up your hands.

What did hoca efendi teach you?

Ya Emin, Ya Selim, Ya Kerim, Ya Akim, Allah rahmanirrahim...

Wipe Ayg�l away from my life.

C�nne fazle rabbe, e�z� bill�h, God is almighty.

�nder, help me with this.

- Hold it tight, it mustn't fall down. - All right, father.

- All right? - All right.

- Let's not drive by the marketplace. Take the cemetary road. - Ok, Cemal abi.

We'll take Nesrin in too, won't we.

- We'll take her, but first we'll get married. - Cemal, listen ...

I've missed my period. I think I'm pregnant.

We'll have five. And with yours, six.

The end
