That's good.

Keep on stretching.

Relax, and stretch again.

Don't lock your elbows.

Now to the side.

NUMB

Are you ready?

Bring them in.

- Is everyone here? - Yes.

Come on in kids.

- Hooray! Let's go! TV show! - Calm down sweetheart.

Kids! Be polite in front of the TV cameras.

Stop pushing each other.

Where was my spot?

Here?

You were sitting here.

- Roham, I found you a seat. - Thanks.

Good job. Thanks.

Let's clap for him. He sang so well!

If you push back your scarf he'll take you off stage.

Is anyone left outside? Are all the children inside?

Ready, start the countdown.

- Hi kids! - Hi!

Hello to the kids at home!

Say hello to the kids at home!

Hi!

We've come to a nice kindergarten today,

with lots of smart kids.

We have a bunch of questions and a bunch of prizes!

So, tell me, here is the first question:

Which is heavier? A kilo of steel or a kilo of cotton wool?

Steel! Steel!

Wait a second! Yes?

They weigh the same.

Well done!

Let's clap for him!

Good job!

Everyone listen to me!

What is a woman's ornament?

Necklace!

Gold! Gold!

Necklace!

Wait a second! Yes?

Hijab.

Well done! Everyone clap for him! Good!

Who can sing me a song?

I've prepared one!

- Okay, ready? - Yes.

Shake it, shake it

Move it, move it

Thanks. Good job.

He probably helps his dad move furniture around the home.

Now, we'll all watch a cartoon together!

Roham, I told you to wait until you're called.

And to raise your hand instead of shouting!

I didn't shout and I wasn't naughty.

Ms. Moradi? You should teach the children some religious songs.

Why?

Are you joking? That was a big blunder out there.

It was the TV host's fault.

I had already told him which kids to pick.

Atash, come here a second.

- Yes? - Sing him the song you had prepared.

Okay.

This poem by Master Shahriar is dedicated to you.

Heidar Baba, this is a false world.

A world left from the time of Solomon and Noah.

It gives you children and causes you pain.

And ultimately takes back all that it gives.

All that is left of Plato is a name.

Well done. Tell me, do you know any others?

Yes.

When you're in love, buddy, God better have your back.

And cure your suffering and pain Is this one by Shahriar too?

No. It's by Ibrahim Tatlises. (Turkish pop singer)

Ms. Moradi! We have a contract.

But I think you need to have a religious advisor help you

instruct the kids so we can continue working with you.

Goodbye for now.

Will you come over to my house for a play date?

No, My brother is waiting for me at home.

And I will be on the set tomorrow.

Do you know why I don't have a brother?

I hadn't thought of it before.

Do you know where I can find one?

I'll ask for you.

If you touch my things one more time...

Adrian wait... Wait.

What's going on here kids?

I want to change.

Let me help you.

I can do it myself.

It's dirty in there. Your clothes will get dirty.

My mom says no one should see my body.

Your mom meant men. I am allowed.

She said no one.

Okay, I'll wait for you right here.

The kind angel heard the sound and came down.

The sound was from the little boy's toothbrush.

He hadn't brushed his teeth for a few nights.

The toothbrush said the boy's brother uses

the toothbrush, but the boy doesn't.

- The little boy had a brother? - Yes.

She said I will help you...

How did he have a brother?

His mother gave birth to him.

Listen to the story now...

Where do babies come from?

We will learn everything when we grow up.

But instead of being like grownups now,

we should play, have fun, be naughty...

But you never let us be naughty!

Hello.

How are you? Come in.

Kids, this man is going to tell us some nice stories.

Let's be quiet and listen to his story.

Hi kids. How are you?

- Fine. - Thanks be to God.

Your family is well, God willing?

Yes, they are. Your family is well too, God willing?

Thanks.

I want to tell you an interesting story today.

The story of two Muslim youngsters.

What does youngster mean?

It means kid, child. Repeat after me:

Kid!

Youngster!

Child!

Teach children about religion when they are young,

so that deviant ideas don't take root within them.

Sir?

Yes my son?

Do you know where babies come from?

Oh my God! Yes, I do my son.

The Holy Mary prayed to God and went to bed.

And God gave her Jesus Christ. Prayer.

When you pray, you have a baby.

So what do I have to do if I want a brother?

You have to tell your mom and dad to get married.

Isn't that right?

If they didn't marry they couldn't even live with each other.

- Aren't they married already? - Yes, they are.

You have to tell them to pray so you can get a brother.

How should they pray?

They know how, because they already had you.

You just have to ask them.

The same way you ask when you want a remote control car.

Can you pray for them?

Of course not!

God will only accept the prayers of mom and dad, not anyone else's.

But God listens to children's prayers more.

That's true. He does listen to children's prayers more.

But not in this particular case. Only the mom and dad's.

Where is God?

God is in the skies.

But my mom said God is in our hearts.

He is in our hearts too.

God is closer to us than the arteries in our necks.

It means God is closer to us than the veins in our necks.

Mom!

Hey guys!

You guys are out here?!

How is the prayer for a brother?

- What, not how. - Aren't you going to say hello first?

Hi.

Come over here.

Hamraz can play with her brother when she goes home,

but all I can do is stare at the walls.

Come here.

What is it?

Did you hear that?

- It's my brother? - No, it's your sister.

I want a brother!

She'll get sad.

Wouldn't it be nice to have someone like Hamraz?

- Will she hear me if I talk to her? - Yes.

- What did you tell her? - Something.

- What? Do you love her? - Yes.

- Can I listen too? - Yes.

There's no sound.

How many months is it?

She's sleeping now.

My brother used to kick when he was in my mom's belly.

Okay, let's go.

Isn't my mom going to pick me up?

She asked me to drop you off.

God knows where she's gone now!

I didn't see you pray when did you?

A little while ago. Stand over here.

Let me fix your shirt.

You don't have any underwear again?!

When did you take it off?

How many times must I tell you that you have to wear underwear?

Roham! Wait there.

Where do you think you're going?

- Hello officer. - Hi.

Thanks for arresting him.

What do you do to kids who don't wear any underwear?

I kill them.

That's a bit too much!

That's right.

Son, are you wearing any underwear?

Yes.

I have a special pair of glasses.

If I put them on I can tell who's wearing underwear and who isn't.

No... No, I don't have

You should listen to your mom and wear underwear.

- Why? - Because everyone does it.

Excuse me sir, are you wearing any underwear?

I'm wearing two. Would you like one?

- That's rude. - I'm sorry.

Some people wear two and you're not even wearing one.

Thank you officer.

- Do you understand? - Yes.

You can go.

Let's go.

Mom, how did he know I wasn't wearing any underwear?

I don't know. I'm glad he didn't fine us.

What do you want to do when you grow up?

I want to have a garbage truck and pick up all the trash.

Me and my dad care a lot about trash.

And what about you?

I want to be a problem finder. I want to find problems.

When I go to my grandma's,

I want to see if there is a problem somewhere.

Then I will think about it and find the problem

and have a repairman come and fix it.

I want to be a problem finder.

How about you Azad?

I want to have three jobs.

Three? What?

First, astronaut.

Second, research learner.

And third, car salesman.

What do you want to be a research learner about?

About insects and planets.

Won't you get tired with three jobs?

First you have to work as an astronaut.

Then you have to do your job with cars.

And then do research learning. Won't you get tired?

No. It's not that difficult to be an astronaut.

You have to spend a few days in space.

Sometimes you can send a robot to take pictures.

Or have the robot light a fire...

- Miss! Don't astronauts get tired? - I don't know.

Astronauts stay in space for a few days, don't they?

Yes. I don't think you can have three jobs.

- It's impossible. You'll get tired. - Yes.

If you do three jobs in one day, you'll be so tired when you get home.

I think moms sit on an egg to make a baby.

No. They pray and the baby arrives at the house when they're asleep.

Storks bring babies. I saw it in a cartoon.

No dears, it goes in the mom's belly.

It also kicks. I saw my brother kicking inside my mom's belly.

You're right.

I used to kick too when I was in my mom's belly. And I still do.

We're not like that.

You can also buy a baby from a store.

No you can't!

God will answer the prayers. The teacher said it too.

You think that's how kids are born?!

Why don't you tell us if you know?

You're still too young.

You'll find out when you get older.

Tell me.

I'm not going to do it for free.

Give me something to eat.

It's only a half.

That's all I have.

Whoever knows how to whistle wins.

That's not whistling.

You do it then.

Whoever can spit.

We have to start from the back together.

Let's go.

Three, two, one

This place is silly.

Why won't they take us to the amusement park?

I went recently.

How many times have you gone this year?

Twice.

And if I'm a good boy we're going to go again.

They're lying. They just say that so you'll behave.

Unfortunately, no parents take their kids to the amusement

park more than twice a year.

You don't even know how to spit.

Give me something to eat.

I'll have that later.

I want red one.

Why is it so heavy?

Because he brings everything he has.

Why?

He's an outcast.

What does that mean?

You said you wouldn't tell anyone.

He's okay. You can tell him yourself.

- You won't tell anyone? - No.

I just found out my mom is someone else and my dad sells fish.

How did you find out?

My brother said the fish seller who comes on our street is

coming to take me.

He said that's my real dad.

I hide in the closet and he laughs at me,

and I want to go real home.

Why don't you ask your dad?

If he asks his dad they'll throw him out of the house.

He shouldn't ask them. He should find out himself.

Why don't you ask him to come live with you?

I have a sister.

You didn't have one yesterday.

She's going to be born.

Then you're going to be just like him.

No.

You'll see when she takes your room and your toys.

My dad said my sister loves me very much.

He's tricking you. Dads know exactly how to trick you.

Do you want some coffee?

Nope.

- Why not? - I've never had any.

Me neither.

It's good coffee.

It's not coffee. It's tea.

What's your name?

Rana.

What about you?

Roham.

What do you do?

I have a garbage truck, and sometimes I'm a pilot.

I'll clean up the house while you're at work,

and then we can go to a party when you get back.

Hamid's grandfather had promised to get him

a big gift every time he said his prayers.

Hamid prayed and his grandfather got him a big gift.

- What did he get him? - A remote control car.

I thought he'd get a scooter.

They made a deal that he would buy Hamid a scooter

whenever he fasted.

Let's Make our mouths smell nice by saying

a prayer for the Prophet's family.

God's blessing on the Prophet Muhammad and his family.

Kids, the music teacher is here!

Thanks be to God.

- Hi! - Hi!

- Who is strong? - Me!

- Who is brave? - Me!

- Who's cute? - Me!

- Who's bald? - Me!

Sorry, that was a mistake. Are you ready?

Hands in front...

Do you want stew or rice?

Rice!

Hands up above...

Let's play nice...

Now to the sides...

Grab your waist...

Jump up and down And say hooray!

Will you let her play something? She's really eager.

- Go ahead. - Thanks.

That's enough, thank you.

There was a rabbit that liked to draw.

She would always draw pretty pictures with pretty colors.

One day she showed them to her mother.

Her mother said they were nice.

One day she drew a picture of a cow.

The rabbit got upset and went out and sat in a farm.

Then she drew a picture.

Go on

Roham, say your line dear.

Roham!

That was a nice story. Thanks.

Roham, why don't you take a nap?

Is it naptime now?

Yes.

Are people in America sleeping now, or will they go to sleep later?

Now. It's nighttime there. So they're sleeping.

What about the Japanese?

They're probably sleeping too.

No, they just got up.

Okay.

My mom says when they're sleeping we're awake,

and when we're sleeping they're awake.

What do you mean?

If I sleep now I won't be able to sleep at night.

Will you answer to my mom then?

Yes, I will.

I don't understand.

If God is here with us, what will happen if there's

a fire in a kindergarten in America?

Don't worry about that.

Rana cover yourself with the blanket so you don't catch a cold.

But stop playing with the bells so the kids don't wake up.

- Okay? - Okay.

What's wrong?

- Why are you crying? - I'm not crying.

Tell me dear.

I'm not my parents' real child.

- Did they tell you that? - No. They're bringing me a sister.

That's nice. You'll have a playmate.

Have you ever seen a picture of when you were born?

Yes.

Are your parents holding you?

My mom was holding me.

Yes.

I looked in my dad's phone but couldn't find one.

Maybe he put it somewhere you couldn't find.

He says it's because he changed his phone.

Maybe it got deleted.

How can he delete his own son's picture?

Think about how you won't be lonely when the baby arrives.

I don't want to.

Will you come to my house for a play date?

I can't.

- I saw your arm. Do they beat you up? - No. Who said that?

Afshin and my mom are very kind to me.

I have an illness. That's why.

I get bruised whenever I fall down.

Does Azad beat you up?

Can I come to your house?

Maybe we can get married when we grow up.

When?

One day when I have a wedding dress.

- I know how babies are made. - How?

Be careful you don't bump into each other.

Go.

Don't be rowdy.

Run.

Go on.

Yes, they're fine

They say hello.

You're welcome.

That's okay. Bye.

I found the medicine you needed. I'll bring it right over.

Here you are.

Thanks. Goodbye.

Go out.

Take it.

I bought the car.

Yes, dude. Don't worry.

Hamraz, you'll be the mother.

I'll tell you who will be the daughter.

And Roham is the dad.

What about Rana?

Rana isn't coming today.

We don't have a lot of time until the ceremony

and we have to rehearse so the parents like the show. Okay?

Let's go practice.

Why won't she come?

Darling, her father called and said she isn't feeling well...

that's why she won't be coming today.

She'll be back in a few days when she feels better.

Let's hurry up and get ready for rehearsals, okay?

- How are you Roham? - Good.

He ate my food.

Have mine. I don't want it.

- Hi. - Hi.

- How are you? - Fine. You?

- Good. What are you doing? - Nothing.

It's for you.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

This is for you too.

That's mine!

Fight!

Stop fighting!

Azad! Roham! Stop fighting!

What are you doing?

Azad! Roham!

What are you doing?

Stop fighting!

Stand up.

Azad, stand up.

Shake hands and make up, or I'll have to call your parents.

Call Azad's mom and let her know he got into a fight.

Tell me what happened?

Me and Rana were having lunch.

Azad came and took Rana's food.

She wanted to give it to me. It's none of your business.

That's not true. You took it.

I called. She's not coming.

She's busy and asked that we send him home in a taxi.

Bring Rana here.

Azad, do you know what love means?

It means marriage.

What does it all mean?

I know what it means.

Get her and we'll finish it right here.

Darling, either stand there.

Rana, do you know why they were fighting?

Me and Roham were getting married,

but then Azad showed up and got into a fight.

You said you were eating lunch.

It was our wedding lunch.

Azad, why did you disturb them?

I want to get married too. I told you, I love her.

I told her first.

Roham told me first, not you.

He's telling you now.

What do you think?

I don't have a problem.

Didn't you already promise Roham?

I am okay with Roham too.

It doesn't work that way. You have to choose one.

Can we take turns?

One day Azad and the next day Roham?

Really?!

But there is a condition for Azad.

She sets conditions too... that won't work

Hamraz said I could take turns.

Get Hamraz.

So what's the condition Rana?

My condition is that Azad can't bother the kids

or the teachers at the kindergarten.

Go stand by the children.

What is it?

Hamraz, do you know why they were fighting?

I think it was over a baby.

What baby?

Roham and Rana's baby.

You've gotten that far?

It's my baby.

He's lying.

Why do you say that the baby is yours?

I taught him.

Oh my! We teach you how to draw and play,

and this is the stuff you've learnt?

Where did you learn this stuff? In which class?

We didn't learn it here, Miss.

That's obvious.

- Miss? - Yes?

I have thought a lot about this issue.

I think it would be better if Rana married Azad.

Why?

Because Roham and I are a lot closer.

So you could get married too?

With the approval of the elders, yes!

Happy birthday to you,

happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday dear Rana, happy birthday to you.

Blow them!

Happy birthday darling!

Shake your heads!

Jump!

Dance.

Happy birthday darling!

Look what you did to your dress!

Look at me when I talk to you!

Calm down, nothing's happened.

You call this nothing! Look at that!

I've brought her extra clothes. Calm down.

- Miss, have you seen Rana? - What?

- Rana? - No dear.

- Have you had any cake? - Yes. Thanks.

- So... - Yes. He keeps sending messages.

He calls too, but won't talk.

What does he want?

That he likes me and stuff like that.

He's like a phone stalker...

You should block him if you don't like it.

Be careful.

Take off your clothes.

Take this off too.

You got some cake on your tights too.

Take off your undies too.

I'll do it.

Move your hand. Stay still.

You still keep pulling back when I touch you.

Put this on. Good.

Do you know what your mom will do if you tell her that I touch you?

Come on. Let's go.

So don't tell anyone, okay?

Good girl.

It doesn't matter at all if you get your dress dirty.

Did I scare you?

No. Why weren't you at the birthday party?

What're you doing here?

This is my secret place.

If you tell anyone I'll break your leg.

I won't tell anyone.

I'm a Portia here.

What's a Portia?

It's a spider that can see in three dimensions

and eat bigger spiders.

It throws a web and instead of going toward its prey,

it pulls the prey back toward itself.

How?

It throws a rope.

The blind spider thinks it's food and goes closer.

Then Portia jumps with his superpower.

And eats it.

No, I won't tell anyone.

Why are you sad?

I'm...

I haven't seen my mom for a few days.

I told you.

It'll get even worse.

What should I do?

I have an idea.

What?

You have to do something so your sister leaves.

How?

Did you know kids can grow wings?

How?

You have to help her practice on the balcony, so she flies away.

How do I practice flying with her?

When babies are born they have a single feather.

You have to use that until she grows wings.

Hi.

Roham dear, did you give Hamraz's necklace to Rana?

Yes.

Where did you get it from?

How many times do I have to tell you? I gave it to him.

Shut your mouth.

Do you even know where we keep it?

Yes, mommy dear! I know.

Roham? Roham?

Hamraz gave it to me.

I told you. Everything is okay and my necklace has been found.

Are you making fun of me?

We'll see about it when we get home.

Roham?

I have to call your father.

Please come outside for a few minutes so the child can speak.

Thank God it was found.

I'll leave, but you should punish him so he doesn't end up a thief.

Rana, you can go to your class.

Don't take him to jail.

No. You said you gave it to him, didn't you?

Yes, I did. I wanted to annoy my mom.

Let him come to class.

You go first.

What?

So tell me about it.

My dad beats me up.

If I tell him about it I'll get a beating again.

Does your dad know about the necklace?

Yes. He took it from Hamraz's backpack when she was in our car.

So how did it end up with you?

I found out and tried to give it back, but my dad beat me up.

Why didn't you give it back to Hamraz?

I was worried she'd lose it again.

Why didn't you give it to her mom?

I didn't see her mom.

Why did you give it to Rana?

Rana...

She's miserable, just like me.

She gets beat up at home too.

Do you think she needs the necklace more, or Hamraz?

Okay, I have to call your dad.

No Miss! I made it up.

Roham, if you lie again...

Yes?

You won't do it again.

Okay.

Now go to class and don't talk to anyone about this issue.

Okay. Good boy.

From your forehead to your chin.

On your lips and on your cheeks.

With the left hand, pour the water on the right.

From above the elbow to the fingertips.

Pull up your sleeves.

Look at the other kids.

Wash it carefully, same thing on the right.

Left hand is same.

From above the elbow to the fingertips.

Wash it carefully, same thing on the right.

And with my left fingertips, I touch the parting in my hair.

She stopped breathing.

Do this every night and she'll go away.

I have another idea too.

She's so cute.

She looks like Roham.

Not at all! She looks like a baby.

She does look like Roham. She's cute like him.

Let me take a look. Move over.

What is it sweetheart?

What is it love?

You have to watch to make sure your mom doesn't come,

and I'll take her over there.

Then...

Then hurry over.

Because I'm not strong enough to do it by myself.

Then we'll take her to the spitting spot.

The spitting spot?

Where we whistle and spit.

Oh.

We'll make her fly before your mom comes out.

Okay, now we'll make her fly.

- Ready? - Yes.

One, two, three.

Bye Roham's sister.

Say goodbye to your sister.

Bye.

What are you doing up there?

Come down here. It'll break.

You forgot this.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

Come down here.

It was good practice. Go to your mom.

- Here you go. - No thanks.

It's for you sweetheart.

Let me see.

I want to take a look.

- It's okay darling. - No! No!

- I want to take a look. - No! No!

It's okay darling. I'm sorry.

It's okay. I'm sorry.

It's okay my love.

Are you okay?

Don't cry.

You can go back to class.

What did you do?!

Look at her hand.

Let me see.

Has anything happened to her hand?

You can go and play.

It's ok children. Let's take her to the office.

- Should we call her mother? - I'll call right now.

Sweetheart, please forgive him.

Your apology won't do anything to make her hand better.

And he won't even apologize. Seriously!

You should have apologized for the bad thing you did. Hear me?

Ma'am we have notified you many times about

Azad getting into fights with the other children.

He isn't even nice to his own brother.

You haven't come to see us even once.

You don't even come to pick them up. I don't understand.

If I had the time I wouldn't leave my children here.

I think you have some responsibility here too.

Your teachers have to watch over the kids more carefully.

Bring Azad here. He has to learn to apologize.

Does Adrian give you any trouble?

No, Adrian is a very nice, polite boy.

Excuse me, can I ask what you and your husband do?

Excuse me, can I ask who you are?

- Of course, I am... - She is our psychologist.

She can help you.

Can I ask you about the time you and your husband spend with Azad?

I'm sorry but I don't like discussing my personal life.

There's no need to worry. Our only concern here is for Azad.

Yes.

I looked everywhere and can't find him.

No one knows where he is.

He's not here either.

He's not in here.

Check with the front gate.

I know where he is.

Where were you dear? Are you okay?

Take him to play.

Let's go inside.

- So... - Go ahead.

My husband and I had a very good life for many years.

Then we decided to adopt a baby.

As he got older he became more rowdy.

To the point that we...

Became distant toward him.

Our affection for him decreased day by day.

We came to question his background, who his parents were,

and where they came from.

One day he got lost.

We were so busy that we were able to find him

in the mechanical room the next day.

I was shocked when I found out...

I was pregnant with Adrian.

And when Adrian was born,

it made our lack of affection for Azad even greater.

It is natural for a six-year-old boy who has grown up in special

circumstances and hasn't experienced the warmth of

a mother's embrace, to be cruel and violent.

It isn't too late.

Give me your bag.

It's so heavy! What's in it?

Why are your clothes in here?

Why do you brin this stuff to kindergarten?

Azad told me to.

Azad told you to bring your clothes? Why?

Because I'm an outcast.

Why do you say that darling?

Who told you that? Azad?

- Really? - Yes?

He was kidding.

- Can I go play? - Sure dear, but come back soon.

Lier!

That was cool, but there's a problem.

What?

The color changed but the man didn't.

- Am I right? - Yes.

Afshin, you have to arrange a magic show for the kids.

Sure.

There's just one thing ...

Go upstairs darling and I'll be right there.

Has anything happened?

Well, we've seen signs of bruising on Rana's arms.

I wanted to see if you know anything about it.

No. What do you think it's from?

You probably know more about it.

Why would I know anything about it?

You helped her get changed at the birthday party.

You should've seen the bruising.

So you've seen her body and that's why you're so sure?

How do you know she didn't change her clothes herself?

One of the kids saw you.

Call Rana.

- Why? - I want you to call her.

Ask her mother to come.

This is ridiculous.

Talk to the principal.

If we don't take good care of our teeth they will decay

and we will lose our teeth.

Then we'll have to pull out a tooth or have a root canal.

What's a root canal?

When a tooth looks fine on the outside but is infected

on the inside and it hurts, a dentist pulls out its nerve

- Get Rana! Right away! Hurry up! - So we don't feel pain anymore.

I made it numb.

That's exactly what a dentist does.

She injects something to make our gums numb

and then pull out the nerve.

Rana, say goodby to your friends.

I don't want to go.

They're here to pick you up.

Can't I go later?

Why aren't you coming? Let's go!

What are you doing? Wait a second...

They called you several times, why didn't you come?

You almost pulled off her arm.

It's none of your business! Where are your shoes?

Get her things! I want to take her!

Why are you talking like that?

What is your job here?!

Taking care of our children, not snooping into our lives!

She's a child. She falls and gets bruises.

Her father could have told us that.

We thought it might have been one of the other kids.

Is that why you tried to make her talk and forced her to undress?

- We never did such a thing. - What are you doing here?

What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong. Go back to the classroom.

But Rana is crying.

She has a stomachache.

- Is her belly swollen? - It's nothing.

One day it's about why her last name doesn't match her

father's, and the next it's about why she has bruises!

You hadn't told us that Afshin wasn't her father so our confusion was natural.

It's not natural at all.

If you come to the principal's office we can talk about it

and see what the problem is.

That's not necessary. Let's go.

Do you know your lines?

Why are you standing here?

Go over there. It's your turn soon.

Rana isn't coming?

You have to think about your lines right now.

I forgot them. What was it?

- What? - Fudge...

Judgment.

It's your judgment. Will you remember that?

No.

That's okay. You can say something else.

Say: your reasoning is silly.

I can't remember it.

Remember when you said you were rehearsing for Rana?

Do you remember what her mom was like?

Remember the things you saw? Be like that.

- I can say anything? - Yes.

- Where's your hat? - There.

That was Delsa performing a song.

You're playing a good dad. Okay?

- And now, a magic show with Roham Sadeghi. - One, two, three...

Is that Zorro or a magician?!

Well done!

Fixed. Fixed.

Hamraz.

See what you've done to your dress!

Now I have to spend two hours to wash it!

What do you want from her?

Don't defend her. She's been naughty.

Children are supposed to be naughty.

That's your judgment.

Hamraz, that was my line!

- I thought you might forget it. - Keep going.

What am I supposed to say now?

Say: Don't justify yourself.

Don't justify yourself.

No, that wasn't good. Let's start again.

That's okay. Keep going.

See what you've done to your dress!

Now I have to spend two hours to wash it!

What do you want from her?

Don't defend her. She's been naughty.

Children are supposed to be naughty.

Whatever!

What's wrong darling? Why are you crying?

Mommy hit me.

How dare she?! Where is she now?

She went shopping.

Don't be scared darling. I will deal with her.

Don't be scared darling. It's just you and me now.

That's not your line.

Look what you've done to your dress!

It got dirty.

Roham, that's not your line.

Let me help you change.

What are you doing?

- Get up. - Where are you going?

This isn't part of the script either.

It doesn't matter at all if you get your dress dirty.

Sit over here. Good girl.

Roham!

Roham, what are you doing?

You got some cake on your tights too.

Roham dear, this isn't what we rehearsed.

Stay still. Good.

- You still keep pulling back when I touch you. - Roham, what are you saying?

Do you know what your mom will do if you tell her that I touch you?

So don't tell anyone, okay?

Who wrote this dialogue?

This isn't appropriate.

There are children here.

Children sometimes make things up.

These lines weren't part of the script.

This isn't right.

Don't take it so seriously.

It happens. Sometimes they make things up.

None of this was in the script.

Roham! What's wrong?

Get the principal.

Roham, are you okay?

Hamraz! We're there.

Thanks.

Roham, will you come over for a play date later?

Nope.

Why not?

My sister is waiting for me at home.

- Okay. Bye. - Bye.

- Where are you going? - I'm going to school.

This is Hamraz's school. Yours is somewhere else.

Did her mom want us to be in different schools?

No darling! You're bigger now.

Girls go to one school and boys go to another.

Oh no, there's a police officer. We'll get fined.

Don't worry. I'm wearing underwear.

Get up darling, we're at your school.

Hurry up so you're not late.
