Excuse me sir, may I talk to you?

- Yes? -

Forgive me for troubling you,
but I'm trying to settle my account...

come on darling.

Come with me please,
what is your problem?

They've been giving me
the run-around for 20 days.

They wouldn't just waste your time.

You probably haven't got all
the necessary papers.

I brought them all the forms they asked,

and now they want more information.

I don't know why
they're being so difficult.

Well, I see...

What else should I do?

Please take this lady
to Mr. Asadi's office.

Thank you very much.

Good morning.

Good morning to you.

God it's hot in here.

Aren't you suffocating?

What?

I'm asking you if you're not too hot?

- No. -

I'm looking for a report...

may be you've filled it.

No, I left it right here.

May be Sayed moved things around.

- No. -

Is this Mr. Sadri's office?

- Yes -

Hey!
Sayed... Come and clean these tables.

I will, but first let me serve tea.

Mr. Asadi has just had a baby!

Is he here?

- Who? -

Mr. Asadi.

- Yes -

Bring my tea in this room.

Fine.

Bring it in here!

All right.

Come on fill this up.

Allo, yes, who's this?

Oh, Ahmad? Hello hello

a son yes.

Thank you.

He looks just like me.

Blond and beautiful.
But don't you dare give me the evil eye!

Thank you but don't trouble yourself.

At the Tehran Clinic.

Room 411

You don't have to write it down,

You know the 4711 cologne water?

Take the 7 out and you've got 411!

I love round figures

Hi! How are you?

Fine, thank you.

How are the kids?

They're alright.

What did you do with that guy?

I think he's exempt from taxes.

How come?

Low budget ten floor buildings
are exempted.

But it is a luxury building

How do you figure it out?

Didn't you tell me that
the apartments cost 600,000 Tomans?

600,000 Tomans for a one bedroom.

And you don't think that it is
a luxury building?

All right, come on, do me a favor.

He is my wife's relative...

the think I'm somebody around here.

I'll try.

Even if can't help them,
just act as if you're doing them a favor.

Where in Peyssian? West or East?

I don't know,
but from Pahlavi it's on your left.

A ten story building with a brown facade.

No, that's not my district.

Broke my glass.

- No. -

No, that's Hossein's district.

Mrs...

Egbalpour.

For God's sake!

She doesn't have the estimates.

She must get them.

How large is it?

98 square meters and in poor condition.

The whole thing isn't worth all
this running around.

Not worthed?
It's worth 400,000 Tomans to me?

Where is this 98 square meters house?

Chirine Street.

Are you in this deal with us?
You're always wheeling and dealing.

Allo? Its cut off.

I think it was your wife.

This is Firouzkoui, anyone called me?

You found it?

- Yes -

Where was it?

Right under my nose.

This is the money for there broken glass.
Bring me a tea.

Don't mention it. But if you insist,
it will cost you 4 Tomans.

Why so much?
A glass only costs 2 Tomans.

But this is unbreakable glass.

What are you charging me for?

For the glass.

Forget it. You cant find
these glasses anywhere anymore.

I've given him 2 Tomans for the
broken glass and he wants 4 Tomans.

I ask him why so much money,
he says because it's unbreakable glass!

Come on. Leave him alone.

But you don't understand,
It's not the money.

It is unbreakable!

I give 2 Tomans for a glass
and he wants to charge me double,

under the pretext
that it is unbreakable glass.

Oh, well.

Forget it, I don't want any money.

But how can one pay 4 Tomans for a broken
glass which you claim unbreakable.

Forget it.

Go ahead, bring us some tea.

Good morning.

Come here, listen to this.

I paid him 2 Tomans for a broken glass,
he wants 4 Tomans

because he claims it was unbreakable glass

Come on, leave him alone.

No sense arguing.

Stop this nonsense, and get the tea.

You should know better!

He's an old man,
why do you argue with him?

2 or 4 Tomans aren't going to break you.

But you don't get it. Its not the money.

Please forget it.

But listen...

You're right and we're all wrong.

Let's just drop it.

Ok, Ok let's talk about something else.

Like what?

What about it?

Tomorrow night, my wife is in the hospital,
and I have to go visit her.

Please go to the casino in my place.

Why don't you ask Bagheri?

I can't. He has replaced me twice already.

I can't either. I don't have a car.

Don't worry about that,
you can use my wife's.

Or better, take mine, right now.

No I don't want your car.

Ill do anything you say.

Does the boss know about this?

No, and it isn't any of his business.

And tonight, you are my guest.

What's going on?

We are celebrating my son's birthday.

Little Farshid Asadi, my brand new son.

All right, we'll come to your house.

Oh no! It is the boys night out.

It sure is!

You, me and Taheri.

I don't see why Mr. Firouzkoui
doesn't seem to like our company?

But of course I enjoy your company.

Some ball we're going to have.

But I thought you were going
to visit your wife?

Are you kidding?
I want to enjoy these few free evenings.

Mahmad, is that you?

Food is ready, on the stove, help yourself.

Come here

Ill be right there.

Come my darling what is it?
Mummy washed your hair?

Come on, don't cry baby.

You're late again.
Did you go to the bank?

No I put the car in the garage.

Oh, not again?

Why, did you want to go somewhere?

No, nowhere special, just to visit Chirine.

She has been here few times,
and we owe her a visit.

Tonight we can't, we don't have a car.

When will it be ready?

I am going to buy the parts this afternoon,

and then I'll go out with the boys.

Where?

With whom?

We'll go out to eat. Mustapha is treating.

How come he's treating?

His wife just had a baby.

Really, Shalah had a baby?

- Yes -

What did she have?

I don't know.

You don't know, didn't you ask?

What hospital is she in?

Tehran Clinic.

Room 411

This is the right time for you
to visit her and make up.

No, I won't go and
we can't see eye to eye anymore.

Did Mustapha suggest I go?

Why should he?

How come he told you her room number
but didn't mention what she had?

He was talking over the phone
and I just overheard him.

How come you didn't overhear
what she had?

So I just didn't.

Did she have a son?

God! I don't know.
If you're so curious, go ahead and see her.

I won't go and neither should you.

Of course I wouldn't go.

I mean tonight.

Ill go tonight.

And I don't see why your relationship
should interfere with mine.

All this nonsense isn't helping me
any at the office.

I never interfere with your office life.

You don't understand.

Of course I don't.

I don't understand that you're so eager
to go as soon as someone invites you.

I know where to go and where not to go.

And you mean that I don't know to behave.

Some weekend we had and now Saturday...

Tomorrow night I have to replace
Mustapha at the casino.

So that is why he is inviting you out.

What do you mean?

Since you're so smart, why don't you
figure it out yourself?

Don't you remember how many
times Mustapha replaced me?

That's different.
He knows where to go and what to do.

None of this is any of
your business anyway.

What is my business?
Nothing is ever of my business.

I don't count in this house. The master
goes where he pleases, does as he pleases.

Your days aren't any of
my business, your nights are!

I'm coming with you.

Where?

To the casino.

Are you crazy?

Then why are you going?

For business.

You're going for business,
why are other people going?

What do you mean? I don't get it.

Of course you don't get it.

I know what kind of women go the casinos.

What women?

All I do is stay at home and slave all day.

I slave all day too, what do you think?

Work is all you do, day and night.
I wonder when you have fun!

Why are you are you arguing?
Can't you even read Persian?

This decision has been made by
the officials of the tax bureau.

They don't know what they're talking about,

when four people who are on the board,
give us these guidelines,

they mean to help UN understand
how to act properly.

They don't want to either confuse us,
agents, or the people.

If we follow directions,
we will be in less trouble.

But who pays any attention
to the 38th amendment?

Isn't that so Mahmad?

What do I know? Ill do as I always have.

What was so right in the past
that could be so right now?

For now Mustapha is doing alright.

You said it!

To do the right thing we should take
of each case within two days.

Why let it linger for months?

First send the case to court,
then to the other bureau, back to court,

then when the case is finally ready,
the plaintiff is absent...

the plaintiff is right here!

Then the court order is not correct,
the city council is missing,

the board of attorneys are not agreeing
to the decision taken,

Why all that delay?

Because of the poor comprehension
of Mr. Asadi and others

and of their neglect of
the infallibility of the laws.

We then have to straighten
out all the disorder

when in reality, there is no real problem.

What does all that mess have to
do with law and justice?

Why do you argue so much?
Give me that match.

For God's sake!

Now tell me, when was rent higher?
In 50 or 54?

Come on eat your orange. You've been
playing with that orange for two hours.

What do you want with my orange?

I repeat: when was rent higher,
in 50 or 54?

Its obvious! in 54
rent prices have tripled.

Do you hear that Mahmad?

Yes, I'm listening.

Now tell me, doesn't the 38th amendment...
Hey Mustapha! Hey Mustapha!

- Yes -

Doesn't the 38th amendment say
that the tax investigator

is in charge of settling the rent prices
when the land lord

doesn't have official leases?

Then what does all this mean?

Since we know that rent has tripled,

and that the landlord has been charging
the price

applying to four years ages scale,

why should we charge him today's rate?

Because of our neglect, he goes to court

tell his case, and the
court reduces the taxes.

Why does all this have to happen?

For God's sake!

Leave God out of this.
I need an answer.

Why do you tell me all this?

I just follow orders.
I've always acted this way.

You've always acted wrongly.

But at least don't push others
to do the same.

The memo says exactly and clearly that

the tax investigator may establish prices

after taking in consideration past years
rent scales...

Come on now, this is just like a courtroom,

all you need is a plaintiff...

I am the plaintiff...

I don't want to drink anymore.

You have to, please.

No, I can't really.

Come on now, just one.

All right, to Shoreh's health.

You have to drink to my health,

come on just one.

Enjoy it honey...

I don't say that you're wrong,

all I say is that you
have to follow orders.

Cut it off.

Mohamad, come to my rescue!

I cant find the switch.

Look to your right, you'll find it.

- No. -

Mustapha do you have a strong sense
of smell?

Mustapha's got the strongest
of everything!

Smell me and tell me if
I smell of perfume?

I can't tell. I smell too.

Let me smell you.

That's better.

I didn't wear much perfume.

Lower the window and it'll wear out.

Ill tell you what to do.

Splash some gasoline on you and
she won't suspect anything.

How about lighting a match too?

I'm not joking.

My wife knows that I always
fill up the tank myself,

so she's never surprised.

You're some tricky guy!

There is another way.

Rub some Vicks pomade on,

if she asks, tell her you've got a cold.

In a minute you'll have a real cold.

Pull up the window.

I'm freezing!

All right, honey, I will.

Mahmad, there is another way.

Know what?

Don't go home at all!

You're gorgeous honey!

Mahmad! there is one more way.

Divorce her and join us!

Listen: I don't lie, I never lie.

I've worked all my life honestly.

I've lived forty years honestly,

the most I'll live is another twenty
years, right?

Then why should I lie now?

There is a right and there is a wrong.
You have to be honest.

If I've done so well, it's because
I've respected God's commandments.

I have five kids and I swear on all of them
that I've never been dishonest.

I told him: Mr. Firouzkoui,
you are young, spare me.

I have a lot of expenses.

If you can charge me less, please do so.

The government doesn't need my money.

The tells me: Its impossible.

Then he writes the estimate.

I told him: Aren't you ashamed young man?

If I had given you a 5,000 tomans 'bride,

you'd have been fair.

But now, by spite, to punish me,

you overcharge me for not giving you
a bribe. 30,000 tomans!

Do you think money grows on trees?

I was only 16 when I started to work
on the scaffold.

Here, look, I still have the scars.

I only follow the rules
of the Holy Koran.

We're all moslems, aren't we?

God should curse the briber
and the bribe taker.

First God should punish
the one who bribes,

then the one who accepts it.

Then I said: I rather give the government
30,000 tomans,

than to give you a penny.

Anyway, what does the government do
with our tax money?

Its obvious!

It builds everything we need.

It builds roads, bridges,
hospitals, orphanages and asylums.

But the money you want from me,
what would you do with it?

I ask you:

where does the government get all that
money to pay all those policemen?

It gets it from us!

But then our security is insured,

we can live in peace,
We can love and protect our country.

But what about the bribes you take?

This is good Moslem money that yous steal.

Steal for you selfish self.

Come on, that is not so.
This man has a wife and a kid.

Don't tell me.

This kind of people don't spend
a penny for their family.

As soon as they've got some money,
they get rid of the wife and kid.

Don't tell me.

Listen to me please.
Firouzkoui denies your charges,

and we all know that he is not that type.

How dare you call me a liar?

I wouldn't dare, but you should
take everything under consideration,

May be the devil made him do it.

May be his wife and kid got sick
and he needed extra money.

Please be good enough to drop the charges.

Mustapha don't bother
he's saying all this by spite.

All I say is that if he needed money,
he could have asked for it.

I'm generous, I'd have helped him out.

But no, he rather overcharge me
30,000 tomans.

Please relax, sit down.

No way! Ill stand here until he gets
what's coming to him!

You bastard! How dare you ruin my
reputation with all those lies.

What lies? I never lie.
On the Holy Koran...

You're not even worthy to swear
by the Holy Book.

You want to deny it?
Didn't you ask for a bribe?

You want to beat me up?

Hey all of you Moslems, help me out!

I'm being murdered! They want me to lie!

I'm an honest citizen!
They've broken my back!

Ill sue you all, you've broken my back!

Help, help!

Now everybody will know about this.

Know about what?

Do you believe that bastard?

In that case, yes, yes,
I did it and I did well.

Ill do it again.

Lower your voice. The boss will hear you.

Let him hear me.

You're crazy, lower your voice.

What do you think? Of course I'm fighting.

Why did you even bother
listening to that liar?

That's your gratitude?
I was trying to help you.

What for?

He was here early morning waiting
to see the boss.

I brought him in to hush him up.

I tried to change his
mind about complaining.

What complaint? I didn't do anything.
Let him do whatever he wants to.

Come in here have a cup of tea and relax.

I can't relax, I'm too upset.

Did you get your car?

- No! -

Here, take my car.

Thanks.

Mahmad, the car is next
to the cigarette stand.

Did you see a doctor?

Go see him again.

Did he give you any medication?

Didn't help you any?

Really?

So you just have to take it easy.

- Yes -

He's still standing.

I'm listening.

Just wait and see. When the baby is born,
everything will be fine.

- Yes -

Tell him to go.

He's still there

I'm listening.

Really?

How about the office?

That would be a shame,

You've been working for seven years,

Then one of you should take
a leave of absence,

to check things out.

Do what you think is best.

Anyway, let me know.

Good-bye.

You're going to the hospital too?

- No. -

I'm going to the hospital
to visit my mother.

Why? is she sick?

She has had pneumonia.

We've done what we could.

Have you heard of Dr. Safari?

- No. -

He is a good man. A good Doctor.

He checked her two months ago.
She is better off here.

She couldn't live in one room with
her daughter in law and grandchildren.

Now she's more comfortable,
and we're more comfortable.

Yes, I understand

She is old. She has lived a long life.

Young people die and others live
old and sick for years.

Six years ago we took her to Dr. Heydari
who said it was hopeless.

She has lived more than her share

That's destiny! God's will.

We even might die before her.

Good-bye and thank you very much

Good-bye, you're welcome.

May I have a light? Thank you.

Maman!

Yes darling

I'm playing

good girl

maman

yes darling

Behnooche darling

give this to your father.

Daddy

yes darling, come here

what is that?

You look at this.

It has a balance.

What does it say?

It says: your rent is overdue for 2 months,

and even though I needed this apartment
for myself,

I've let you have it,
but now you'll have to leave.

Do you know what it means?

It means we'll have to leave this house.

Get up! It's noon already.

Come on, let's get up.
Mummy fixed lunch for us.

Let's go have lunch.

You're hungry?

Did you read the letter?

- Yes. -

Its not important.

Nothing is ever important to you.

Didn't you see the letterhead?
It's from the court.

I saw it.

I told you a hundred times to
settle this matter with the land-lady

but you were always avoiding the subject.

She even agreed to discuss things with us.

But you were always hiding

Now, see what happened?

Nothing has happened.

She wants us to leave,

and we are just not going to leave.

She can't do a thing.

The worst she can do is file
a claim and she has.

How much time did she want to
give us?

I don't know.

But she talked to you.

Six months.

Yes, now we are out of time..

She is bluffing us. She can't do a thing.

It'll take more than two years
to get rid of us.

That's what you said last time.

She can only evict us if she has
no other home,

and we know she has two more
apartments in this building

And God knows how many more elsewhere.

Tell this to the court.

The court knows.

- Yes -

Not now she's eating.

Goodbye

I signed that, nothing wrong I hope.

- No-

The man who brought it was one
of their friends.

I am afraid they might use their
connections to auction our things.

This kind of people know everybody,
we just don't know anyone.

They can't do a thing.

Ask Mr. Amir if he knows anyone at
the court house.

It is not necessary.

God you eat like a pig.

That's what you always say.

It wouldn't hurt anyway.

Do something once!

We'll see.

Don't cry darling.

Get the phone. I'll calm her down.

You answer it yourself.

Where will we go from here?

We could go to my mother's house.

No! Not a chance

To your mother's house.

The president has ordered him out of his
room, but I didn't dare tell him.

Where is the president?

I'm afraid you can't go in anymore.

Me? Why?

The president's orders.

Its too bad.

The president told me not to let him
in your office, but he went in anyway.

I didn't want to be rude.

I am just doing job, following orders.

Have I ever been rude to you?

I just follow orders, isn't that so?

Yes, leave us, now.

I had orders to close the door.
He shouldn't have gone in.

We left the door open for your sake.

He isn't supposed to be here.
Orders are orders.

We'll have to write a report.

Get a pen and write down.

You will be a witness.

At 9 o'clock this morning...

Sir, I am illiterate, may I just use
my thumb to sign?

I'll call you.

I, Akparnia,

officer on duty,

report to the Honorable President

that Mr. Flrouzkoui

tax investigator,

was told not to enter his office.

M. Firouzkoui ignored the order

and entered by force.

I have witnesses to prove this statement.

Here is the president himself.

What is It? What Is going on?

Your honor, we followed orders,
but he entered by force.

Mr. Firouzkoui, you were not supposed
to enter your office.

I came to work with official orders,
I'll leave the same way.

I'll leave when I receive a written notice.

But have dictated your notice.

I didn't receive anything.

Mr. Yossefi!

- Yes? -

How come you haven't given
him his notice?

It was too late yesterday.

Bring it to him immediately.

Where are your books?

In the cabinet and my
assistant has the key.

Mr. Assadi,
what happened to the accounts?

They are writing the checks now.

What is the total amount?

180,000 Tomans. More than last year.

Follow this up.

Yes, I will.

What happened to the other thing?

I'm looking into that too.

Where is Mr. Safti?

He is on a job.

Today, we are the 20th, you'd better hurry.

Yes I will.

I'm really sorry pal.

What does it say?

Here.

He isn't fired,

just laid off for a while.

Congratulations!

For what?

Firouzkoui's has been transferred
to Mr. Pourhosseini.

You didn't tighten the faucet.

Its broken. I've told
the plumber to fix it.

So, what did he say?

He looked at it and said he'd be back.

No news since. Stop it.

Did you try to set a mortgage?

We need at least a minimum amount

Our friends don't have more
than 40,000 Tomans.

You can get a loan and Ill arrange
for the balance.

You get the balance and Ill get the loan.

May be we can mortgage mother's house.

Didn't she mortgage it already?

Yes, she did.

We'll have to pay her mortgage.

That's what my girlfriend did.

For how much?

40,000 Tomans.

May be we can think of a way.

How do you think everyone
else gets a home?

God will help us out.

We can't count on God alone!

How else can we manage.

No one ever finds a treasure
under their pillow.

He's in with the bankers!

Who do you mean?

The one you're counting on!

Don't blaspheme!

I've prayed so much for it.

Don't spoil it for me.

We'll find money somehow

We'll be in debt all our lives.

Ill try my best.

You always say that

Don't worry so much.

Well have to stop at the millinery shop.

But we were there last week.

So what,
I used all the yarn for the back.

Its 10 o'clock you'd better hurry.

So what, we'll leave later

Mahmad, which do you like best?

I don't know

This one or that one?

That one!

This one, you're sure

That one!

I think this one would look really nice
with my skirt.

It would look like Nasrin's.

You're right, lets go.

Let's hurry!

Wait a minute.

Move on fellow.

How about all the others?

Please go on.

My wife will be back in a minute.

Keep moving.

Move on.

Officer, the car's stuck.

Come down and push it.
Don't hold the traffic.

If you wanted
to keep me waiting for an hour,

you should have left me home.

The officer was giving me a ticket.

I don't believe you, it's one o'clock.

I don't believe you, it's one o'clock.

Its all your fault,
bringing us here in this traffic.

You ruined our holiday
and especially today.

What's so special about this holiday

What do you want to do to make it special

I don't know, you should know.

I'll do whatever you want.

I don't care. Your mother's or mine.

That's the way it is,
whether you like it or not.

You leave me home every night, and now
you don't where to take me.

I see, you're still carrying on about
the other night.

I'll go out whenever I feel like it.

You have a lot of nerve.

That's the way it is!

I can't stand it any more

Leave me alone

I wouldn't stay one minute with you if not
for this damn Kid!

You always use the same excuses.

What would you make up then
if you didn't have her.

I don't need an excuse Do you think,
I enjoy myself in your house?

My house is much too good for you.

If you don't shut up,
I'll break your teeth.

Go ahead I

I mean it.

Why don't you leave me alone bastard.

You deserve what you get, you bitch.

Ill throw myself down.

Don't you dare threatening me.
Good riddance.

Let's get home and Ill show you.

Mr. Firouzhoui,
your friends were looking for you.

They just left, they had a white car.

If you rush, you might see them.

They'll come back.

One of them had a beard.

Yes I know.

I've told your wife that
Id like you to come over,

but she said that you were a busy man.

Can you come sometime?

Yes we will.

How about tonight?

No, I can't.

Come on, you'll have a nice time.

Tonight we can't

some other time then.

Yes, thank you.

Behnoosh, mummy's leaving. Go stop her.

Mummy, please don't leave!

Mummy don't leave me.

I'm not going anywhere.

Pack everything because
I won't let you in anymore.

Shut up!

What did you say?

I asked: what did you say?

Nothing..

Once more, I'll repeat: take everything

and your kid too.

Take her too!

You keep her.

Have we divided anything that you decide
she should be mine?

Wherever you go, she goes.

Who the hell do you think
you are to order me around?

I am who I am and I mean what say.

Very well.

Let's go darling. I'm taking you out.

I want daddy to come too.

What is it?

You can't take her.

You want her now?

Leave her and get lost.

There is your Kid.

Give me the key.

Across my dead body, you'll leave!

Let me go. Let me go.

Leave me alone, here is your Key!

No way, you can't leave!

Leave me alone.

Calm down,
or Ill beat the hell out of you.

Leave me alone. I hate you.

Stop this hysteria.

Don't cry darling.

Do you want some pomegranate?

Look how red it is.

Isn't that pretty?

Ill peel it for you.

Look. One grain, two grains.

Let me put your hat on, and we'll go out.

You saw that young man?

I can't stand to look at him.

I made him a partner,

I tried to teach him the trade.

I did my best for him.

Of course he is no stranger,
he's my nephew.

I don't have anyone,

he will inherit everything I got.

But as long as I'm alive

I wanna keep this place open.

Since I made him a partner,

He says we should close shop on Thursdays,
Fridays, and holidays.

Do you believe this?

Do you see that man in the other room?

For fifteen years,
he's been coming her on weekends.

Now, what would I tell him?

You're right, you shouldn't close.

I don't know why people don't
wanna work anymore.

A beer please.

What kind?

Don't matter.

How much do I owe you?

Five tomans.

I've called all the dealers in town...

What's all this noise about?

Hello gentlemen.

I was admiring the 1976 there.

Its beautiful, is it yours?

Yes it's mine.

Its a nice Fiat how much did it cost?

Which one do you mean?

That 1976 over there.

That's not mine.

I don't think it's worth more
than 70,000 tomans.

Much more, much more.

I know that car,

it's Taghavi's brother's car.

He just had a beer here.

Do you want me to talk to him?

No, I'll buy one myself.

Why don't you import a 220?

Tax is too high. This
one is just beautiful.

Yes, it's a two-door, isn't it?

It really is beautiful

I saw the same one
in a showroom in Charh-Ara

for 240,000 tomans.

I've seen it too, but it's a 1975.

It has been there for 2 months.

No one is buying it.

But with a 220 from Germany
one should make a profit of 20 tomans.

For 20 tomans,
it's not worth to go to Germany.

That kind of money would hardly
get you out of town.

May be you don't like to travel.

My feet hurt!

You see, it's only here
that import taxes are so high.

In Germany,
this car costs only 40,000 tomans.

Once it gets here, a 300% tax goes on it

and with other expenses,
it adds up to 240,000 tomans.

A Peugeot in France costs
only 30,000 tomans.

But here it comes out to 80,000 Tomans.

Have you thought about all this?

A Mercedes 280 S costs 260,000 tomans,

when you add other expenses,
it adds up to 300,000 tomans.

Well, a 300,000 tomans
car is not meant for us.

It is meant for the 300,000,000 tomans man.

I hope you're not one of those?

God forbid!

I am driving the same old car for 12 years

and it has never been stolen,

because it was paid with honest money.

Oh no, it's just because
it's not worth stealing.

Isn't that so?

Ill never forget:

in 41 I was handling the reconstruction
of the earthquake area.

In my department, each week I counted
200 and 300 trucks of cement.

You know that famous man.

There was a man about your age and looks,

he was my accountant, and he told me

why don't you overlook one truck a day
and leave the rest to me.

I refused since I don't go for shady deals.

He looked at me with pity and said:

Don't you need comfort?

Now he is rich and famous.

But what do I have?

I have a three room apartment
and it's enough for me.

At least you've got a clear conscience.

You're right. I live in peace with myself.

I only have one mouth,
I only need one plate.

I can only sleep in one bed.
What more do I need?

And in the company everybody respects me.

What good is that if
you don't get anything?

Your accountant now

is the one rich and famous.

Do you really think that money

is worth the degradation it brings?

Fame is good with honor only.

I know rich guys who have
all kind of diseases:

All Kind of problems

They have cancers, ulcers, and other ills

that won't let them enjoy life!

They suffer and die in pain

They can't even have a glass of vodka.

What good is money

when they can't even have a cup of tea?

They'll have to take all this money
to the grave with them.

Yet, when it's all over they can only have

the same amount of earth
on their rich bodies

as any poor man can.

Under the earth,
we are finally all as rich or as poor.

At least the poor lies there
with an healthy body.

All the rich go sick into the grave.

What do they need
a healthy body in the grave.

And do you think that you are healthy?

Such a wise man.

Mr. Firouzkoui, won't you come in?

No, thank you.

Please come in.

No, thank you.

What happened?

She has taken some pills.

Send a stretcher,
we have an emergency.

I think the doctor has gone home.

Mr. Razavi,
look and see if his car is still here.

Don't worry, the doctor is still here

Is she your wife?

Her name?

Azam

Azam

Last name?

Firouzkoui

Are you insured?

- Yes - -

Where from?

Ministry of finance. -

Quieter please.

She will be alright.

Doctor wanted at the emergency clinic.

What happened son?

She's taken some pills?

When?

About an hour ago.

Did you have an argument?

Hope it's not too late.

No danger.

Even if you'd have brought her in tomorrow,
she'd be alright.

No, these pills never kill anyone.

All she did is get herself sick.

You're leaving?

She doesn't need me,

there are trained to handle
this kind of situation.

Who do you mean?

Mrs. Razavi,

tell Mrs. Ashtani to do the usual.

And you, don't worry.

She'll be fine.

You're with the lady
who took those pills?
