Lizard

Come in

Come on

Hi, there!

Hello, Mr. Reza Mesghali

At your service

Your record is really a mess

That's life!

It seems we have to spend a lot of time together

The rest of your life to be exact

Excuse me, Mr. Mojavez

but I am not staying here long, they've made a mistake

Really!

I've got me a lawyer, I've appealed

You have asked for an appeal, of course!

Whatever... you know, sir I ain't into armed robbery and all that!

No stealin' and no drinkin' in the holy months

I've never even held a blowgun in my life

- I've been framed - Are you finished?

I don't know you, do I?

I refer to the case in front of me

which says you're a disturbed person

It tells me you've been imprisoned several times for different crimes

but you have never reformed

It tells me that you are a danger to society

- Yeah, but... - Don't interrupt me, son!

I stated the facts

- But I think you're a good person - Cool, man!

Everyone is good

Even an armed robber like you

Don't interrupt me!

Do you know why people go on diet?

Well, to get thinner

To get thinner and for their health

I believe we have to go on a diet for our spiritual health

So this is not a prison, and I am not the prison warden

- It's a spiritual clinic - Wow!

And you are patients who come here to gain your spiritual health through my diet

I will send you to heaven even if I have to use force

- What was so funny about that? - Nothing

the part about how you wanna send us to heaven was a little cute!

Yes, it sounds strange, but it can be done

Provided that you follow the spiritual diet I prescribe

Although it is not so easy

Soldier! Take our friend to the solitary confinement!

Why to the solitary?

First, so you do not interrupt me again

Second, so you do not laugh at my words

And third, because solitary is good for people like you

You will thank me later

Take him away

Mr. Mesghali!

Welcome to your new home

- How long you're in for, colonel? - Take your hand off!

Keeps asking questions!

Hi, there

Are you done? Come on

Get out...

Get going

Oh, the poor thing is stuck!

Hey, can't you get it loose?

I tried, but my shirt got torn, look

Then shoot it and put it out of its misery

I've gotta answer for my bullets

Otherwise I'd shoot ten crows a day

If you don't shoot it, I'll come up and set it free

Come up? How?

- The wall - This wall? How?

- I'll grab it and climb up - Bullshit!

- I'll bet you - I'll take the bet

- How much do you bet? - Tonight's dinner

- Okay - Okay

Making bets?

Hello!

I am willing to make a bet

Betting in itself isn't wrong so long as it doesn't turn into gambling

So you say you can climb this wall without a ladder?

Well, yeah

So we will make a bet in front of these friends

If you climb this wall, you won't

do any chores for a whole week

and if you don't, you'll spend another week in solitary, how's that?

You can't! It's impossible

I'm in

- Go on and show what you can do - He's lyin'

With your permission

Go! Go! Right on, man! Come on up!

He climbs like Spiderman

Hey bro, don't take it too far when we smile at you for five minutes

Get down now

Well done

Thanks man

You won the bet and did a good deed

Take him to the solitary

Solitary? Are you kiddin'?

No, you are going to the solitary to quit the bad habit of climbing

especially climbing prison walls

You coward!

No, I'm not going back on my word

You can rest for a whole week, but in the solitary

Don't make any noise

Your appeal was rejected

You're going to be our guest for a long time, get inside

I said get inside

I fell in love with my wife the first time I saw her

But when I stopped lovin'

her, she stopped breathin'

Now I like you

For now!

You're an important guy

Don't worry about the bunks

You take the bottom one

And I'll take the top, I'm so tired

Not from there, can't you see I've cleaned it! From here

I changed my mind, I'll take the bottom bunk, you take the top one

That side is still clean

You seem angry with me!

You guys don't understand

I only want to cure you

Believe me it's a difficult task

Do you know how?

How what?

To pray?

Well yeah, but I've forgotten

Everyone's forgotten

Ain't nothing to it, just bend down...

A mosque is no place for this behavior, remember that

Take him to the solitary

Get up

Come on! Get inside

Come on!

From now on it's going to be like this

Why don't you eat?

If my late wife could cook like this, she'd be alive now!

Okay, it ain't the end of the world

You should thank God you've got your health

Would you rather be free but have no?

It was my fault, I started it, should I go?

- Where? - To the solitary

No, son

All inmates who are sentenced to life are rowdy at first

But soon they get used to it

I hope it will be a happy life together

Sit down, son, sit down and eat

Take this one to the solitary

Let's go

- He said that one - Move

My teardrops fell

My eyes became seas in my teardrops

your shadow appeared

Colonel, let me clean your glasses

Mind your own business, get on with your work!

Come on!

Go

To hell with it, I'll appeal again

- What are you doing? - Nothin'

Are you going to kill yourself!?

I said I ain't doin' nothin'

Look the other way, put that glass away

I said I ain't gonna do nothin', go and watch soccer

So you can go kill yourself in peace? I won't let you

Damn it, leave me alone

You coward, suicide is a sin

If you take one more pill, I'll kill you with my own hands

Look what you did? I cut my arm

You cut it?

Where?

Here!

Hello, brother

Hello

Looks like you were very hopeless to want to...

Say whatever you want, but don't preach me

I didn't intend to preach you

I just wanted to say that at such times you may rely on God

Rely on God for what?

I live like a dog, I get no respect

they beat me on the head

and then they say rely on God

The heaven and hell that everyone says...

Sorry to interrupt, but heaven and hell are nonsense

It's for foolin' folks like you and me

They say these things to fool us

Who?

The Mullahs

Of course the Mullahs have bad and good among them too

Yeah, they bought the good ones at a high price

they're waitin' to sell 'em in the right season

Colonel, you didn't tell me how long you've been here?

Ah! How many times do you ask? Get going

Look at these muscles, dude

Get inside

I see you are much better today

My health doesn't get any better or worse

Sorry about this man, we didn't have any empty beds

It's okay! Actually we became friends right away

our friend has a lot of respect for the clergy

Oh, how nice

Goodbye

I'm really ashamed, sir

And who better than us, Mullahs?

My name is Reza

My name's Reza too

You know, Hajji

if I hadn't seen your clothes, I'd never think you're a Mullah

How come?

Your hands don't look like the hands of a Mullah

Because being a Mullah is not my profession

What d'ya mean?

I'm a plaster-moulder, traditional plaster-molding

It's my forefathers' profession

- Is that possible? - Why not?

Man is worthy of honor for his soul and humanity

Beautiful attire do not reflect his worth

Right on, man! Humanity!

How is it, doc?

Good, I think you can be released tomorrow

But, Doc, I ain't feelin' well yet

I feel weak, my arm hurts

Do you want me to recommend that you stay here for a week?

I'd appreciate that

No way, I'll tell them to take you tomorrow

I don't wanna go back to that hell-hole

If I go back, I'll cut my artery

Have you lost hope again, Reza?

Do you know what, Hajji?

Even if there is a hell I'll end up in the worst part of it

No, dear brother!

There are as many ways to reach God as there are people

What?

I said there are as many ways to reach God as there are people

What does that mean?

It means that God doesn't close all his doors on his people

Don't lose hope

Excuse my language, but do you Mullahs have to preach all the time?

No, we're not the only ones who preach

Listen!

People buy everything from stores

But since there are no stores that sell friends

they can't buy friends and they feel lonely

if you want a friend, tame me

He asked: What does tame mean?

The fox said: It means make me love you

and this is something that is totally forgotten nowadays

He asked: How can I do that?

The fox said: You have to have patience, a lot of patience

So they've got preachers all over the world then

That's right, my dear brother

Say hi to him for me

Peace be upon you too...

I'll take a shower before they come to get you

I had a great time Hajji

I had never hung out with a cool Mullah before

I had a great time too

I had never hung around with a cool prisoner like you before

- Hello, Hajji - Peace be upon you

Fereshteh Street!

Fereshteh Street!

Damn it!

Fereshteh Street?

I didn't wanna trouble you

No trouble, Hajji, we owe you a lot more than this

Thank you, I've been hangin' there for a long time

Yes, people have become very bad, they have no respect any more

Unfortunately, that's how it is

Dear brother, this is the wrong way

What wrong way, Hajji? This is a reserved lane for special traffic

and I have a special passenger

Hello? Hello? Yes? I'm coming

I'll be there in two minutes

I'm taking a shortcut

Oh fine, now the cops are here

Registration and drivers license

Hello, officer

Hajji is in a hurry, and that's why we came this way, Hajji

Hello, officer, how are you?

We apologize and promise it won't happen again

It better not happen again, go ahead

Pardon me, but Fereshteh Street is not this way!

Oh! Fereshteh?

Hajji, I thought you said Ferdowsi

Sorry, but I'm late and I have to make a turn here, I'm sorry

No problem

Have you heard the poem

mother took me by the hand and taught me to walk?

This two G's for Ferdowsi street

This two for Fereshteh street and two for the one way street

You left your wallet in my pocket!

Hello

Yes?

Who?

All right!

Are you Brother Jackson?

Yes?

You are under arrest for smuggling and purchasing stolen goods

- Uh! Hajji you are making a mistake! - You jackass! It's me! Reza!

You idiot! What's this?

I've become his hollyness Mullah Reza

So everything's cool?

I don't have to say it again now!

I don't want him to get into any trouble

Bye!

Is he a cool dude?

This Mahmoud Motazedi is sharper than you think

Don't look at his age

He can forge passports

that even the passport office... can't tell if it's original or fake

His hang out is Mozafari teahouse

He'll pick you up at the train station

You'll just get your passport it's all been paid for

Thanks a lot, man

For instance, one of the unique

capabilities used in the internet is chatting

Internet, chat, multimedia

What are you talking about?

Mullahs don't talk like this

- Look! Then what's this? - This is an exception

You better talk like regular Mullahs

Look!

We will continue our discussion of salvation in ultimate darkness...

by reviewing the movie Pulp fiction

Jackson, they talk about everything

Like this... what did he say? Pul fiction?

- Pulp fiction - What does it mean?

It's the name of a movie, eat your dinner

As Tarantino says: I want to be where God wants me

Hello

What a hell raiser! God bless him

Hello

Hey, Hajji, your turban is backwards!

Shove off...

God bless you all

Give my regards to your mother!

Welcome, Hajji, peace be upon you

Peace and God's mercy be upon you

Please come this way

You should be comfortable here

I'm flattened by your kindness

God willing, during the trip, we will use your grace's presence

Yes, yes, may God accept

With your permission

What!

Peace and God's mercy be upon you

Peace and God's mercy and benevolence be upon you

Hajji, is it okay with you if a passenger

sits here temporarily, until the next station?

- Please, no problem - Go on in

Hello

I'm really sorry, there were no empty family compartments

and I thought next to you would be the safest place for these ladies

Yes, they'll be safe here

They will only bother you until the next station

What bother? It's an honor

With your permission

Please sit down, Lady

- Forgive me, Hajji - No problem

My legs were falling off from moving from one compartment to another

Yes!

What can I say, Hajji?

He was this big, but his... was only this big

Oh, my God! What are you saying?

Dear, Mullahs are like doctors, you can confide in them

Yes, if you don't tell these things to us, who're you gonna tell?

Yes, you were saying, Lady

Yes, forget about his problem, he hit her, Hajji

Oh God, we ask for your forgiveness and...

To you we repent

To you we repent, some people are really bad

Yes, Hajji, Faezeh's body was always black and blue

Faezeh, show your bruise to Hajji

But I can't, mum

I filed a complaint and got my daughter's divorce

Oh my God, what hardship you've been through

He still wants Faezeh he keeps asking her to o back to himg

But I said shut up, over my dead body can you have her

Don't you make that mistake, Lady Faezeh

No, Hajji, the three years I lived with him was enough for a lifetime

Please pray for her, Hajji pray she finds a good husband

God willing, a hot dish...

I mean a modest, smart lady like

her, won't be hard to pass off...

What happened?

Nothing, she fell asleep

So fast?

Yes, she always falls asleep all of a sudden

How nice, poor child

What has that degenerate man done to you?

May God punish him

Yes, I think he loved me you know!

But he was a brute

Yes, they should cut off the hands of a man who'd hit a lady like you

Thank you, Hajji, can you close that window?

My mother is not well, she'll catch a cold

- Are you okay? - Yes, yes

Thank God, okay, I'll get the window

Uh! What happened, Hajji?

Nothing, I'm stuck

I'll get it out right away

Do you want me to pull the emergency breaks?

Don't touch the brakes, I will fix it myself

Thank you, God bless you

Forgive us, Hajji, the windows are rusty and they get stuck sometimes

No problem

Okay, sisters, take your stuff

Hajji wants to be comfortable

No, I am comfortable, where are you taking them? Let them stay here!

We have an empty family compartment now, let's go

Goodbye, Hajji

You know how we Mullahs are

We love having company

Please stay

I've thought about finding you company too

Go right ahead, gentlemen

Peace and God's mercy and benevolence be upon you

I bear witness that there is no God but the one and Only God

I have gone there 15 times already this year

The good thing is that you don't need a visa, you only need a passport

Right colonel?

I don't know much about there

What's the meaning of that, colonel?

We want to provide a service to people

Those are customs regulations, I don't know about them

Where do you work?

I am in the criminal investigation department, we catch thieves

May God reward you

You're providing a service

Looks like we have to get off for prayers

We will hold a mass prayer because of your presence Hajji

We'll get two pence more out of it

Me? But I, if you allow me...

So you said you are a preacher Hajji?

With your permission

You are going to your mosque then?

- If God accepts me - God willing

They say you have to pull your hand down to the hairline

How far should I go?

Do what "Rostam" did, my dear brother, come on, it's getting late

Hajji Amiri, come do your ablution, the train will leave soon

Which mosque are you going to, Hajji?

Al-Amir mosque, if I'm not mistaken

Al-Amir? Where is that?

It should be around here

You see, Hajji? A train full of people

and less than 20 people come for prayers!

There are some folks who don't even know how to pray

Shall we line up, Hajji?

Line what up?

Hajji is kidding, please, Hajji

When I'm praying I totally forget the time

Please pray for us, Hajji

That's what I meant

May God accept our prayers, Hajji

- Exactly - Please pray for us, too

Okay, I hope you all, God willing

Dear brother, I didn't want to trouble you

What trouble, Hajji? We were taken by your virtues

Don't say that, your virtues were much better than mine

I wanted to ask you something in private, Hajji

Excuse me!

I am constantly traveling and I'm always away from my family

and that puts a lot of pressure on me!

I understand, get to the point

What are the temporary marriage laws for people like us?

You don't know what a heaven they have there!

Unlawful

You mean there isn't any other way? Any exceptions?

No, that is totally unlawful

And it is written that whoever does that

the angels will spit on him and he will die a terrible death

and Satan will personally service your mouth to his mouth

Better to just have a pleasant trip!

- Let's go, Hajji - Where to?

I will drop you off at Amir Mosque

I don't want to trouble you

No trouble at all, Hajji, let's go, the car is waiting

Actually they are going to pick me up

Really? You're not just saying that?

No, I think they must be right around here...

Hajji, they have come for you!

Welcome Hajji

I am Hajji Fazly

This Hajji is a very great man and a true believer

Don't take him for granted

I can tell just by looking at him

I think there has been a mistake I'm supposed to go to some mosque

That's our mosque, Hajji

We knew you were coming a week ago

We wrote so many letters to the prayer organization that we finally got results

Well, thank God

Excuse me, what's the name of your mosque?

- Amir mosque, Hajji - Didn't I tell you?

Everything is correct, Sir! I leave Hajji in your hands then

- Allow me - Good luck, Hajji

How nice! This was our Hajji?

Why? Do you know him?

Yes, we were in the same train come up, Hajji, welcome

Then why didn't you tell us, Hajji?

I didn't? I thought I did!

Anyhow, I hope God gives me the service to offer you my strength

Please Hajji, please sit in the front, Hajji

I want to get some fresh air if you allow me

- No way, please take the front seat - I just want some fresh sir, please

With your permission we'll be going now

Why don't you leave?

We've got a flat tyre, you go on, Hajji

- Take care of yourself - Good luck

Excuse me can you tell me where the border and customhouse is?

The border patrol station is 5 km from our village

Right

And can people cross the border from there?

Yes, but the regulations are strict

Because there are too many smugglers and thieves trying to cross this border

they only allow people with passports to across

I see!

May we be excused, Hajji?

Come this way, Hajji

You go on, I'll escort these dear souls

I also ask your permission

We live right around here, please come and visit us

Thank you, I sure will, God willing

Peace be upon you, sir

Well, the new Mullah, hi there

- Leave him alone, Javad - I won't bother him!

My name's Javad Delangiz, at your service

Glad to meet you

It shows on your face

Are you comin' back from Tehran now?

What's it to you? You're not her husband anymore

Let me carry your bag

No need! We don't need your help, let's go Faezeh

Excuse us, Hajji, goodbye

Are you leaving?

God be with you

Hajji Ahmadi, this way please, they're waiting for you

- I'll be seein' you, Hajji - Yes, do so, I'd like that

This way, Hajji

It's been more than a year that our mosque hasn't had a clergy

but I've kept its light burning

As you see, this is the roofed summer time altar, the main section is on the other side

We have a few chambers around here

We hold the 'Komeil' prayer every thursday

We hold Koran classes for the youth and I teach them myself

Unfortunately very few people come to the mosque, Hajji

Now that Hajji has come here, God willing, our mosque will prosper like old times again

You're practically a Mullah yourself

You lead prayers, you teach Koran, you've got it all down

Actually my father was a Mullah

But certain turns in my life made me unable to continue

Thank God, Gholamali has chosen to follow his grandfather

Thank God

He knows four sections of the Koran by heart, Hajji!

- Six sections, Hajji! - Wow! Praise the Lord

God willing, he is going to memorize all the Koran this year

He's going to enter the national competition

God willing

But he has to work hard at it

When you love the Koran, it won't be hard at all

God willing, he'll become a champ and join the national soccer team

- May I ask you a question, Hajji? - Sure

You have done studies in theological cognition?

No, I've spent my whole life in Qom

These are your quarters, Hajji

You must forgive us, but this was the best we could afford

Don't mention it, it's a great place!

You have put up a lot of effort

- Is this the getaway? - Pardon me?

- I mean the gateway - Yes, sort of

I have a question, Hajji

Don't ask so many questions, Mojtaba

Hajji is tired, ask him at prayer, with your permission

God be with you

I want these two handsome youngsters to stay, I want to talk to them

As you wish, Hajji

At your service, Hajji

Well, dear ones, now tell me how you do your ablution

and how many sections does each prayer have?

Yes, hajji, in the name of God

Morning prayer has two sections, noon and evening prayers have four

and the night prayer has three sections

Don't be so upset, Mojaver

A prisoner's job is to escape

and ours is to catch him

You don't get the point, Major

This had never happened in my prison before

This man has ruined my reputation

Look, he can't go anywhere

We've put out an A.P. B on him

We have put surveillance on everyone who has been in contact with him

their phones are tapped

One mistake and he will be arrested what else do you want?

Think about it, Mojaver

If none of the prisoners escape, what's the use of a warden?

Hajji is here, praise his holyness

- Please lead, Mr. Fazly - Please, Hajji

I mean it, makes no difference, I'd be more comfortable that way

Thanks, Hajji, we're at your service

Well, call the "Azan" so we can begin

- I already called - Called who?

- The "Azan", sir - Right

Why are you standing there?

I'm here to say the praises, sir

Okay

- Deliver a sermon for us, Hajji - A what?

These folks haven't come to the pulpit for a long time

Give us a sermon

You mean pray again?

No, I mean preach for us, Hajji

Oh, you mean up there

Umm... in the name of God

Today, that for the first time

I am with you respectful citizens

I am very happy to be

present in this radiant crowd

I want to tell you what

we are going to discuss today

It's about the different ways of finding God

Which are as many as there are people

Well, what does that mean?

It means that for you, for example,

there is a path for you that leads to God

And there is another path for the person next to you

- For you... - Me?

No, the man in the blue coat behind you

- Me? - Yes

There is a path for you that leads to God

For Mr. Fazly there is a path that leads to God too

For the baker, the butcher, the prisoner...

Yes, pay attention to this word

There is also a path for that miserable

criminal prisoner that leads to God

Now that I mentioned prisoners,

I want to tell you something

Imagine you want to enter a house, okay?

There are several ways for that

You can use the key and open the door, okay?

But if you don't have a key, the other option is a master key

If you don't have a master key, you can

use a piece of wire, clippers, a screwdriver

Or you may climb the wall use a rope, and so on

Now sometimes you may want to climb the neighbor's wall to enter the house

In my opinion that's okay too that's another way that leads to God

Of course provided that you don't bother

the neighbors, in my opinion that's alright too

Anyhow, there is no person in the world

who doesn't have a path to reach God

I mean God has given people

lots of paths and they all lead to...

God!

God! Well done, that was so cool

Okay, that ends today's sermon, as simple as that

May God be with all of you

- That was an interesting sermon, Hajji - Don't mention it

- Inquiry, Hajji! - What?

Question, Hajji

The value of "Al-Qadr Night" is more than 1000 months, why?

I'll let Mr. Fazly answer this question

because I want to see how much religious knowledge he has

Please, Mr. Fazly

No offense Hajji

Because on this night God sends the angels down

and determines the events of a whole year

praying on this night is more valuable than praying for 1000 months

Applaud him

It's truly amazed!

Well done to all of you for being such

knowledgable and literate believers

- Well done - I have another...

Allow me to answer you in the next session

I want to go for a pilgrimage to the shrine

Let us be together tonight, Hajji

We have prepared a simple dinner

God willing, tomorrow I will take you wherever you want

Thank God, I hadn't had such good chow in a long time

You must forgive us, Hajji

I'm sure it wasn't as good as what you eat at home

It was much better

- Inquiry! - Yes?

Hajji, in the North Pole we have six months of nights and six months of days

How do we say our day and night prayers over there?

You look at me as if you have a bus ticket for the North Pole

and you want to leave right now!

Actually, there are differences among the clergy over this issue

Some of them believe that we Muslems should never go to the North Pole

because we are used to warm climates and the cold weather will bother us

Why should we go to a place where we might freeze to death?

Then, if a war breaks out between the Muslems and North pole

What would happen to a Muslem who might be taken captive?

Yes!

Actually this is what the other clergy say

All the prayers that you say during the six months of night

will be considered as night prayers and so...

To hell with the North Pole

Say your prayers according to the local time of your own country

Then if we take that...

Case closed, eat your yoghurt!

One of the locals has a very good voice,

he wants to sing a song if you would allow it

Of course, why not? Actually reciting a song helps your digestion

Please

I have sprinkled water in the streets

so there is no dust when he comes

Well done

Excuse me, Hajji, but I hope this music is not profane

There's nothing wrong with it actually it is very good

But a mosque is no place for singing!

Mr. Fazly, who says a mosque is only a place for mourning?

Actually sometimes it's good to cheer up and raise hell

Well done

That really hit the spot after the dinner we had, well done

One move Hajji!

God willing, in good time!

- Hajji, peace be upon you, Hajji - Peace and God's blessing to you

- Do you want to go to the city, Hajji? - With your permission

Do you want us to come along so you don't get lost?

No need, I don't get lost

Excuse me, Hajji, I have a question about virtuous acts

Listen, dear brother, I don't have time to answer your question now

But it's like you two you're sticking to me like bloodsuckers

and you follow me wherever I go

This is not...

- Virtuous! - Virtuous!

Where are you going, Hajji?

To hell! God forbid!

God willing, I want to go to the shrine for pilgrimage

I had a vision last night and he asked for me

How fortunate you are, Hajji

Please pray for us, Hajji

- He looks like a saint! - Braveheart Shojayi!

Please don't get up, go on with your work

What have you done, Reza?

At your service, Reza the Lizard I missed you so much

Caf� Mozafari Drug addicts not allowed

- What do you want? - Hello

Who do you wanna see?

I wanna see Mahmoud Motazedi

What do you want?

I've come from Tehran, Jackson sent me

Are you Reza the Lizard?

With your permission!

Mahmoud was waitin' for you at the train station, but you didn't show up

The cops are here!

Get out! I said come out!

- What a pleasure Hajji! - Peace be upon you, sir

What are you doing here?

Answering nature's call! But be careful, there are no ewers here

It was a pleasure to see you again

Why don't you join us for prayers?

Pray for me!

I'm still thinking about the paths that lead to God

Please continue, I'm sure you'll find them if you keep thinking

Hajji, heads or tails?

Of course I don't know where Mojtaba' gets these questions!

But anyhow, it's important for Muslems to know...

how to conduct their religious duties in space

I will tell you now, since people are floating in space

if the body of a female astronaut

touches the body of a male astronaut

that would not be a problem

But it is necessary to join them in temporary wedlock

before traveling to space to be on the safe side

In such cases, due to the shortage of water in spaceships

Ablution won't be needed

Excuse me, Hajji, this is true for space,

but since there is gravity on earth

the relationship between a girl and a boy is problematic

No, Mr. Fazly

Excuse me, but it seems to me that you have had all your fun in your youth

and now that it is these youngsters' turn

you are being more Catholic than the Pope?

Don't we youngsters have hearts?

Okay, don't get carried away and abuse what I say now

Let me finish

Yes, Mr. Fazly, at that time you married a woman with 10000 tomans

but nowadays they don't even curse you

for that amount, let alone give you a wife!

So what can the youth do?

Not all people have the facilities to go to space

Mr. Fazly, I wanted to say something to you

At your service, Hajji

Can I borrow your pickup for a couple of hours? I want to go to the city

The pickup is yours

We know the city quite well, do you want us to come along?

Where do you want to go, Gholamali?

Have you memorized the "Ankabout" verse?

Not all of it, but I will

You don't have much time before enrollment

Go do your work, if need be, I will take Hajji

Thank you, but it's a personal matter

- Personal? - Yes

It's something between me and God

Good for you Hajji, don't forget to pray for us

Please

- How are you, Hajji? - Thank you, what's up?

- Are you the sheriff? - No, I just asked

Then leave, it's good to keep your finger in your own pie

Well, well, Hajji, did he behave?

Yes, and how! Give me the money, Hajji's alright

I oughta tear him to pieces and...

What?

Nothing, I said peace be upon you, Delangiz

If only Islam hadn't tied our hands

Now you're talkin'

Why do you let those thugs do whatever they like with you?

What could I do?

My dear brother, under such

circumstances it is necessary to...

- I mean to beat the hell out of them - It's not s simple as you thinka

Hello

Hello, Mahmoud, it's me, Reza

I'm not Mahmoud, where do you wanna go?

Isn't this number 15?

Eighth Street, no. 15?

No, this is Ostovari street, eighth Street is up ahead

I'm sorry, but the last one was Seventh

Yes, but the streets go in this order

Fifth, sixth, Ghaderi, seventh,

Ostovari, Bolbol, ninth, eighth

- Who is it? - It's Reza

Reza? Come on in

Hello

You're not Reza

Is this Mr. Motazedi's residence, no. 15?

No

Isn't this no. 15, Eighth Street?

This is it, but recently municipality has changed the numbers

Yes?

Mr. Motazedi's residence?

Yes

God damn cowards

Don't get so worked up, mother

How can I not get worked up?

They handcuffed and took my lovely son in front of my eyes

Do you expect me to dance?

Do you know where he is? Is he in jail?

If they don't let go of my son, I will curse them

Listen, mother, Mahmoud was keeping something for me

- Do you know where it is? - No

He never brought his work

home because he was a bastard

He deserves whatever happens to him

- Thank you for your help - Don't mention it

Visit me again, you remind me of my bastard son

Sure

Hello, are you over there?

No, I'm still here!

Why didn't you go?

They have arrested Motazedi, he's in jail

Poor guy, what are you gonna do now?

I don't know

Everything's such a mess

I gotta see if I can do something myself

Don't you think of crossing the border without a pass!

You're dead meat if they catch you

No, God willing!

Why are you talking nonsense?

Good bye, God willing, goodbye

Hello, Hajji, how's your family?

We hope for the best, I had a question, Hajji

This is what I do not call a virtuous act, go ahead

Is the fear prayer required after watching a horror movie?

Since you might piss in your pants after watching a horror movie

ablution is in order for you

Go and wash up

Don't write, go wash

Hello, Motazedi?

That was great news, colonel

No offense hajji, but where were you last night that your clothes smell so much?

Well, actually I had to go on a mission last night

and as you know the streets have lots of holes and puddles

So I fell in the gutter

Empty promises till when?

I swear our people can't tolerate it any more

If they don't say anything, it's because they are modest

I speak out because it's my responsibility

I am talking here, Mash Ali, my God!

Today everyone is Mr. Shojayi's guest

Praise him for his success in the election

What should a parliament member have?

He has to have a cutting edge

The rest will take care of itself

You got foam in my eyes, oh God!

Who is he, Mr. Fazly?

He is engineer Shojayi

He wants to become a parliament member, he's spending a lot of money

Who's that?

He wanted to cross the border illegally

the border patrols arrested him and cut off both his hands

What happened, Hajji? Did the steam get to you?

Go get two sodas, kid

You'll feel better in a minute, Hajji

We followed Hajji and he went to bad neighborhoods!

In the name of God

I want to open an important discussion with you loved ones

and that is about the issue of cinema

If brother Gholamali allows me...

please be quiet, I want to have an important discussion

Yes, Hajji

Yes, today we are going to talk about Pulp Fiction

Mojtaba, do I have to call your names one by one?

Be quiet!

Both you and Gholamali, be quiet, we want to talk

Okay sir, okay

Yes, this move is made by brother Tarantino

He is one of the great Christian filmmakers

and I've heard he has won a few prizes

Mojtaba and Gholamali, I asked you to be quiet

Yes, Hajji, I just have one question

Stop whispering, you have already asked all your questions, son

I won't continue the discussion

because I can't concentrate anymore

- Yes! - It's me Hajji

How nice

Thank you God

Excuse me for bothering you this late, Hajji

No problem, I'm at your service anytime

- Come in, dear - Excuse me

Come inside

Hello, Hajji

What's going on here?

We have come to help you

To help me?

We know everything Hajji

Excuse me, what is it that you know?

Gholamali and I followed you last night Hajji

Excuse us but when you said you had a vision

We became curious

We were so moved, because

of your greatness and your glory

What?

Hajji, I promise your secret will be safe with us

What secret?

That you go to poor neighborhoods in disguise

You visited the family of prisoners

She prayed for you a lot

You mean that old lady? Of course, that's one of my duties

What duty Hajji? If it's a duty, then why don't the others do it?

Oh, please

Helping one needy person in secret is not that big of a deal

One!

That night he went to at least twenty houses

Hajji's bag was full at the beginning then it got empty at the end

I'm so upset... that you found out

Alms are rewarded only when done in private

At first we didn't want to mention it

but we thought it's not right to look the other way

I just die for you charitable people

That's why we thought we can accompany you tonight

This humanity and kindness... what? Tonight?

Yes, Hajji, tonight

But I'm not going anywhere tonight

Hajji, we know the needy people of this town

That's right, but no!

We have even brought our donations, go bring them

Hajji, we have never had a true man of God here before

We have never paid our religious debts

Take these and distribute them as you wish

Look, Hajji, don't you want us to take part in your good deed?

Okay, let's go and do

some good deeds in private

One, two, three, four...

God bless you

We haven't done anything, pray for Hajji

I'm in need for a prayer!

I was ashamed to face my children we didn't have any food at home

What do you do, my dear brother?

I am unemployed, Hajji

The factory went bankrupt and I got laid off

Sit and eat

Your daughter seems to be sick

She's so hot, does she have a fever?

She's had a fever for three days

Why don't you take her to a doctor?

We took her, she has to have some tests but it's too expensive

Better?!

Don't you wanna eat dinner?

Hajji, this is not right, let me come back there

I have a few questions

No need, this is no time for questions

I want some fresh air

He asks so many questions

that it has become a pain in the... neck

4500 is all that's left from all that money

God bless you, Hajji

You make people happy

You must be very happy, huh?

Yes, I'm happy, but I don't know why my

ears start ringing when I do a good deed!

It's very strange

I envy you, God loves you a lot

Please pray for me

You don't need my prayers

You are such a great girl and true believer...

No Hajji, I haven't been a good person

Have you sinned?

My dear, confess to me

and unload the burden of your sins

Damn these clothes!

You can't make a move in them

What was your question?

Let's go, they are waiting

Bring some tea, boy!

What brings you this way, Mr. Reza the lizard?

I was just passing by, I didn't think they'd release you

I haven't done anything

Did they release Motazedi too?

I don't know, it's been a long time since I heard from him

Any of you guys heard anything about Motazedi?

They say he's been sent to prison

There! Your tough luck, I guess!

I wanted to tell you something in private Lady Hajji

Lady Hajji yourself! My name is Ozra

Okay Ozra, do you know anyone who smuggles people?

For whom?

For me

Look at this, don't you love it?

I take a 20000 Tomans check and I change it into 200 thousand Tomans

Is this your own work?

I'm in the traveler cheque business I haven't done such things for a long time

Well done

- What about passports? - You're Mahmoud's friend, right?

- You got a picture? - Yeah

Bring me 200 thousand Tomans and take the passport

200 thousand Tomans!

Money doesn't grow on trees, you know

That's the fee bro! Even if Mahmoud were here

he would've charged you the same, you have to pay 50 thousand in advance

That's not fair

If you want to leave the country, that's the only way

Hello, Hajji

Hello, strength to you, what's all this for?

Our saviour's birthday, Hajji!

Great! We'll have a ball

With your presence, of course, Hajji

Excuse me, Hajji

I have a question about ablution in space

It is written that questions have to be asked at the right time, not now

It is written?

It is written that questions have to be asked at the right time, not now

I asked you to do one thing

What could I do? He just came all of a sudden

Hajji

- Hello - Questions after prayers

I don't have any questions

I just wanted to say we intend to get married!

Congratulations, God willing

But our parents don't know, they are very strict

Don't worry, my lips are sealed

Hajji, now I know how you think about me

I don't even think about you

No Hajji, I won't make a good clergy

- Why not? - Because my heart isn't pure, Hajji

Actually I'm just like you, but I made good use of religion

Hajji, I'm not a true believer!

When I say my prayers my mind wanders off

memorizing verses are very difficult for me too

But, damn me, when bad things come my way, I get tempted

I know what you mean

Hajji, I shave my beard with a razor

A student of theology doesn't

Who says I have to become a clergyman?

I have burnt my hand with a cigarette to stop smoking, but I still smoke

No rational person would do that to himself

Even God doesn't want me to become a clergy

You sap! Don't blame God for your stupidity

Look at me! You are a man and all human beings are attracted to mischief

It's human nature

God is not as strict as they say

If he was totally against these things, he wouldn't give us the tools for mischief

Go live your life

As the representative of God in this area and all other areas

I am telling you that God has forgiven you

Now go and have your fun

But be careful!

About the issue... of there being as many paths leading to God as there are people

Well?

Hajji, I have lost my path

Can you show me a shortcut?

Oh, my God! You're looking for a shortcut

and I'm looking for a getaway I need someone to help me...

You good for nothing baldie! May filth pours on your head!

What's going on here?

Oh, God, Hajji, he's killing my only daughter!

But why?

He says if she doesn't go back to him, he'll kill her

I hope you haven't called the police

No, he says he'll kill her if the police comes

Then let's go and get him!

He says he'll kill her if anyone goes up

Over my dead body!

Why doesn't she go back to her life? Who better than Delangiz?!

Shut up! Over my dead body!

Open the door, brother Delangiz!

Open the door

- Why doesn't this open? - Sorry, it's locked

Where's the key?

My boss has it, you can go up and get it from him

Up?

Okay

I have no other choice, with the landlord's permission

You have no right! Eh! Hajji!

What are you doing here?

I have come to talk to you

I have nothing to say to you

Get out from where you came before I break your bones

- Damn you! - Shut up!

Let my dear one leave and I will stay here to guide you

I got no use for you, Mullah!

You better not insult the clergy or put a price on them!

What'll happen if I do?

Move aside or you'll get it!

Wait a second

Looks like you don't understand!

Wait a second, dear Delangiz

I want to give you a piece of advise

Wait! I'm talking!

Don't ever try to hit a man of the cloth

specially if he is from downtown Tehran!

Oh, my God! He's killing Hajji

As I told you before,

the paths leading to God are?

As many as there are people!

Well done, now you can add three other paths to that list

hitting with the palm of your hand, kicking below the knee

and a blow with the head you can use them in cases of emergency, they're sure to work!

Well, goodbye dear one

Now go clean up your boss!

Thank you, Hajji, that made me feel better

My boss's pride!

God damn your boss

As they say, Lieutenant Nemati is our mole in narcotics

Tell him, Nemati

Yes, I was sitting in Mozafari teahouse

on detail, and the man you said came in

Did you see his face?

I wasn't facing him, but the teahouse owner called him the Lizard

Did you hear that with your own ears?

Yes, I'm sure, they were whispering

they were talking about passports, then they left together

Of course, the teahouse owner's husband used to smuggle people across the border

But he died four years ago

Now the teahouse has become a hangout for criminals

We haven't shut the place down to be able to arrest all of them

You mean the woman might be in the same business?

Or she might know the smugglers

- Hello, Hajji - Peace be upon you

Excuse me, Hajji, but is prayers accepted with these wounds?

It's got nothing to do with that, you have to have a pure soul

- A lot of people came to the mosque - We are going to the mosque too

- I have another question, Hajji - Ask me after the prayers

He don't look like he can beat anyone

Not at all

Ain't it a little embarassin', boss?

Why?

They might say we've come to the mosque because we're afraid of the Mullah

Let 'em say what they want

This is one Mullah that Delangiz is willing to stand behind for prayers

Praise for all of Muslem clergymen!

Please sit down, please, please

In the name of God The Merciful

I am glad to see that a lot of

the locals have gathered here

I think it's the effect of that famous

sentence the paths to reach God

Because I can see two brothers who were worthless thugs

have joined Islam as well, thank God

I hope they have felt this from the bottom of their hearts

Actually I am only recently beginning to understand the depth of this sentence

Instead of sitting up there and preaching

I should sit here and really think about this sentence

God's peace and mercy and benevolence be upon you

Father, you weren't there to see how the guy, who had 6 children, felt!

Tell him, Hajji

Yes, actually I was really moved

Of course I'm sure you're doing good deeds, Hajji

But you, when you left and came back in the morning

do you know how far behind you got in your main duty?

Which one is my main duty? Helping people or memorizing the "Koran"?

Don't shout slogans, kid!

You are not here to serve people

Get up, get up

I'm talking to you, Gholamali

- I won't enter the competition - What?

I won't take part in the competition

I am not able to memorize

You say something, Hajji

Mr. Fazly, don't pick on the youth so much

You can't force people into heaven, dear brother!

You are pushing so hard that they might fall off the other side into hell

- Hajji! - What?

- Everyone's waiting - What are these?

Bread and dates, my mom prepared them

All my cousins have come

Two pickups are waiting at the front door, please come

I'm not coming with you tonight

- Why Hajji? - Because...

But that's not possible, Hajji

Dear brother, I have a mission

Please give this money to the needy on my behalf

It's obvious that the guy is very needy!

I have a question about need

This is no time for questions

Those are God's mysterious ways, now leave

You go on too

I have to leave myself

Do you like it?

Not bad!

Not bad?!

You're so out of it!

Do you know I went through hell to change this number?

Thanks a lot

But this corner still needs some work

Your work is very delicate!

They call me Ozra Shapoury!

Master Yousef Shapoury's daughter!

Really? How interesting!

Do you even know him?

No, but when you say the name...

Everyone in this region knows Yousef Shapoury

He was a master miniature artist I was also his student

Then why did you turn up like this?

Destiny, poor thing thought

I'll become a famous painter one day

What delusions!

What do you want?

Here you go

- What the hell's this? - You tell her what this is

This means there are as many paths leading to God as there are people

Oh go on, dude!

Don't forget, goodbye, let's go

Don't people have better things to do?

He has brought these and says there are a lot of paths leading to God

That's ridiculous!

- Have some bread and dates - Thanks, I've Iready had somea

- What was the number? - 20

What happened, Ozra?

Tonight, after so many years I got reminded of my parents

Then all of a sudden they ring the bell and bring me bread and dates!

So what?

God hasn't forgotten me

Well, that's cool! Now let's get on with our work

Repentance!

Ozra? Forget about it, what repentance?

I have repented, I've returned

I know those guys they don't have anything better to do!

Come and fix the passport so I can get on with my miserable life

Passport?

What are you doing, nutcase? Eh!

You better repent too, God will forgive you

Crazy lady!

Hey, what's with you? God bless the cows!

- Mrs. Shapoury? - No!

Aren't you Mrs. Shapoury?

I said no!

Isn't this number 20?

Who are you to ask questions?

Yes

Isn't this no. 20, Shirojan Street?

No, officer

This is no. 2, you've made a mistake

Is this no. 2?

Eh! What happened to our number?

The pigeons have done this

There you go, now it's 2

God help me, what

have I done to myself? God!

You have to repent too

God will forgive you too

There's room for all of you

Ozra?

Ozra isn't here anymore,

The 50 thousand I paid her!

The woman has found time to repent!

Get back, move aside

Repent, repent and God will forgive you

See the posters we have printed?

Engineer Shojayi with ready to punch out deceit

This one shows that engineer Shojayi

is a thoughtful man, who thinks about the future

Engineer Shojayi standing in front of the people with ultimate power

Sir, I love this one

Shojayi has turned his back to all the

money in the world and he doesn't care!

Thank you, they are great, have them printed

Sir, with these posters, God willing, you're as good as elected

Your breakfast is ready, sir

The fresh bread got here at last

Follow the printing process I want them posted by tomorrow

Yes sir, don't worry

Why are you so late, Safoura?

I've been waiting for fresh bread for an hour

Forgive me, something had happened

I hope it's nothing bad

My aunt is a bit of a con!

She repented last night and the neighborhood is in chaos

How did she repent that it caused a chaos in a neighborhood?

They say, Hajji Reza has spoken to her

I didn't understand what she was saying she just kept crying all the time

Who's Hajji Reza?

Haven't you heard? The sheikh of Amir Mosque

Every night he goes to the house of the needy and gives them money

And you know how he does it? In disguise!

If he goes in disguise how do you know it's him?

He uses a disguise, but now everyone knows him

He gives money to the poor and dowry to the girls who want to get married

He cures the sick...

He cures the sick!

They say a dumb boy has eaten the beard

and dates that Hajji Reza gave him and now he can talk

I see!

Peace to you, Hajji!

Peace to you!

Hajji, are you on another mission?

Yes, private mission, with your permission

- Good for you, Hajji - Hello Hajji!

Hajji! You brought light to our humble hut

God knows how much I wanted to see you

Now that I've found you, I won't let go

Thank you, but I've already told our friends...

No, Hajji, I'm the host and you are the guest

And as they say, a guest is the host's what?

The host's dog?

Don't say that, you are our master the apple of our eyes

Do you know why I wanted to see you?

Because I'm a charity worker just like you, sir

- I see! - I do good deeds

I build mosques and schools

God bless you

I'll come and visit you tomorrow for lunch

Hold on, hold on, Hajji, I want to take you somewhere

I'm sure it's going to make you happy

- Where? - Prison

No, we're coming, we'll be there in ten minutes

Goodbye

Excuse me...

Hajji, we have the good fortune on our saviour's birthday

to pay the debts of a few prisoners who were arrested for bounced cheques

and have them released

It's a private gathering and I want you to come

Well, it would be an honor for me, but I can't come today

Listen, Hajji, I have a bad temper and if anyone disagrees with me, I will get upset

Safoura, can't you get us two cups of tea?

She keeps answering back

Releasing prisoners is one of the most important affairs

Please, go ahead

Safdary, 150 thousand Tomans,

Vakili, 150 thousand Tomans

Maghareyi, 150 thousand Tomans

This poor thing is here for 50 thousand Tomans?!

He's a good kid too, God will really reward you

Yes, Saneyi, 500 thousand Tomans...

No, this was not on the list

Here, look

Eh! I thought it's 50 thousand Tomans!

Forget it, any man who owes 500 thousand Tomans belongs in prison

How much is the total?

A million 430 thousand Tomans

Don't we have anyone with 70 thousand Tomans to make it even?

No, there's one who owes 100 thousand Tomans

No, that's enough!

Hello

Mr. Mojaver is one of my colleagues

God willing, engineer Shojayi is going to be our representative

Hajji Ahmadi, one of our greatest charity workers

My pleasure, Hajji

The pleasure is mine

What happened, major?

You mean Ozra? She doesn't have any information

She seems to have gone crazy, she keeps talking about repentance

Let's go for the ceremony together Hajji

Please

In the name of God The Merciful

Greetings to all you respectable folks

and especially to my dear inmate friends

Of course we all know that

people... sometimes break the law

because of need and misery

and they say that outlaws are not believers

Well, what does that mean?

Allow me to explain

First of all... don't think

that God has forgotten you

The prison gates might be closed to you

but... the gates to God's

blessing are always open to you

Stop thinking of ways to escape!

God doesn't only belong to good people!

Our God, is the God of the criminals as well

And it is only God, who doesn't look upon people differently

the heaviest dude in friendship

A good friend, will give everything for his buddy

If people live by the codes

they will never steal anything

But unfortunately, some people want everything for themselves

and this is very bad

We have to do something to tame people

Taming means... creating love

and that's the only way leading to God, this is very important

I don't aim to preach because it's useless

and no one can be forced into...

that's why mankind should...

Allow me to finish my words with a poem

Man is worthy of honor

for his soul and humanity

Beautiful attire do not reflect his worth

I hope that all of you be released from here very soon

and that you can find your path

Please pray for me to find a path as well

I hope I don't see you here and you don't see me here

and we see each other in other places

May God be with you and bless you

Thank you for your time

Forgive me for talking so much

But this is very cruel Mr. Mojaver

Prisoners don't come here to have fun,

they come here to get reformed

As they say, the schoolmaster's punishment is better than the father's kindness

Don't you agree, Hajji?

Yes, you are right, I agree with you

Didn't you have a T.V. Program a few years ago

called Knowledge in television, Hajji?

Well done, Knowledge in television

Didn't I tell you? I've seen you on T.V.

How nice that you remember

Mahmoud Motazedi to the visiting room

It was a fruitful program

It was on Monday nights, right Hajji?

Yes, you're right, Monday nights, excuse me but I have an excremental problem

and I have to find some water, excuse me

- Mr. Motazedi? - Yes?

I wanted to talk to you for a few minutes

Are they gonna execute me?

No, it will only take a few minutes

Please, Hajji

I'm Reza Mesghali

Reza Mesghali? I don't know you

Reza the lizard

Who sent you?

Jackson

You were supposed to smuggle me across the border

Don't disgrace me

Cool, what a nice disguise!

I'm in deep shit, Mahmoud

Why didn't you leave?

I tried to see you, but they said they've arrested you

Why didn't you get your passport?

- Passport? From who? - From my mother...

Your pass was ready when you gave us your picture

Don't lie, I went to her

Did you tell her who you are?

No

Well, how could she know it's you?

Go tell her who you are, get your pass and leave

You ain't puttin' me on?

Why should I? I owe Jackson a lot

Well, goodbye, you may take him now, brother

Please pray for me, Hajji

It was a great program and we had a nice time Mr. Moshaver

I'm Mojaver, Hajji

I hope to find another chance to...

I hope to see you on T.V. Again

Of course they insist a lot but because their programs are of such low quality

I don't accept, goodbye

Goodbye, Hajji

What are you so suspicious about?

There was never a T. V program called Knowledge in television

How could I know it was you?

You looked like undercover cops

Did you say it was a passport?

Yes

I believe in right and wrong and I don't swipe the customer's money

That's how I've raised my bastard son!

Here...

You look better with a beard

Yes, thank you

I'm mourning for my father

No problem, but the border is closed now

Come back in two or three hours

Okay, I'll wait for another two or three hours

I'll come back

You went on a mission in broad daylight?

Missions don't have any special time

Finish your work, we'll start the evening prayers early

Is that possible, Hajji?

In cases of emergency it is allowed

Well, Gholamali, what's up?

I want to enter the competition

Well done

After you, Hajji

May God accept

Hello Hajji, what are you doing here?

Hello, Faezeh, my dear one, may God kill me, what are you carrying?

It must be very heavy

It's greens for tonight's celebration

Allow me to help you

No, I swear to God, I won't let you

I have come here to serve you

By the way, isn't your mother coming to the mosque?

She sends her regards

She went to the upper village to wash the fruit

Oh! So she's not here?

Although I don't have much time, but allow me to guide you to your home

Then you have to come up and have tea with me

Come up?

Damn this temptation

I would love to, but...

- Delangiz? - Yes, Hajji?

Come, help carry Faezeh's load

I am at her service

I don't need your help

This Delangiz is not the old Delangiz!

God willing, he's become much better

It's been a while that he regrets how he treated you

He has done that before, he's lying

No, I swear to God, it's different this time

Nonsense, you can't fool me any more

- I won't do anything to her - I said carry these stuff and don't talk

He keeps explaining himself, he talks like a chatterbox

I said take these and shut up

Yes Hajji

Thank you Hajji, goodbye

From police headquarters to the station

this is to inform you that Hajji Reza Ahmadi

who was recruited to be... the prayer leader of Amir mosque

passed away due to severe illness before he could go on his mission

You mean this Hajji Ahmadi is the armed robber?

Reza the lizard

He wasn't armed

We arrested his accomplice last week

and he confessed that the weapon belonged to him

But this man has done so many good things here

People swear on his name

Well, they are making a mistake

Let's go

Hajji, he's going to sing, aren't you coming?

Tell him to start

Yes, Hajji

These clothes are supposed to tame people

It's good for people to become tamed, isn't it?

No need for that anymore

There is no one in this world who doesn't have a path to reach God

You have to have a pure soul

You can't force people into heaven, dear brother!

You will push so hard that they

might fall off the other side into hell

God is the heaviest dude in gentleness, the heaviest dude in kindness

the heaviest dude in forgiveness, and the heaviest dude in friendship
