00:00Hi Shiva, how are you doing? How are you doing? You okay?
00:03Yeah, yeah, I'm at your service.
00:05Your colleagues okay.
00:07But...
00:07Are the personnel there okay?
00:10Effat, darling.
00:13No, anyway, you've got to...
00:14I simply have to help them right now.
00:15I also have to thank you for accompanying me and helping me.
00:18Just don't upset anyone, all right?
00:20Please, don't.
00:21Okay, well, I'm standing next to them.
00:23I'm touching them.
00:24They've got beautiful colors.
00:25You've got good taste.
00:26Nice weave, nice design.
00:28Yeah, they're beautiful carpets.
00:30Now, don't worry.
00:30After we wash them, we'll bring them back in covers.
00:33Now, do you want me to take a picture and send it to your cell phone right now?
00:36I can do that for you.
00:37I'll take a selfie.
00:39Hang up. Hang up for a minute.
00:41Just a minute.
00:41Now, I'll take the photo and send it through.
00:52Do you want the selfie for your grave?
00:56Is this the right time for taking selfies?
01:00Hi, Miss Shine.
01:00Hello.
01:01Hello.
01:02Oh, no.
01:02Hi, everyone.
01:03Hi.
01:04Hi there.
01:06Oh, no.
01:07Do you want me to wash the carpets here?
01:09Wait.
01:09No.
01:09Oh, no.
01:10Oh, no.
01:11We're not crazy.
01:12With paddle water.
01:13Yeah, whatever you said.
01:13What stupid person would wash all these carpets in the yard with...
01:17I was surprised.
01:19You know Artis here very well.
01:21He won't allow anyone to wash a carpet here, no matter what.
01:25Yes, yes.
01:26No, you're right.
01:27You're right.
01:27I only rolled it out to get some air.
01:29Yeah, yeah.
01:30Yeah, he's right.
01:31You know, since we bring them rolled up, some insects might come in...
01:34Bed bugs.
01:34Yeah, she's right.
01:35Sometimes bed bugs live in them.
01:36Or even mold or something like that, you know.
01:39Yes, yes.
01:39The weather is humid.
01:40Yes, yes.
01:41But the weather is so cold right now.
01:43I mean, it's humid, but it's cold.
01:45And the sun is also shining mildly.
01:47Anyway, I wonder how you could come away from the heater and come out here in the cold.
01:50He's right.
01:51I'm so fed up with this job.
01:53Oh, no.
01:54I'm really sorry.
01:55He's driven me crazy.
01:56Since he stopped taking drugs, he's become impatient.
01:59He keeps nagging, picking on me, and nagging again.
02:02I'm fed up.
02:03I told him, hey, man, look at our neighbors.
02:06They're friendly with each other.
02:07They're kind to each other.
02:09They get along with each other.
02:10They talk to each other.
02:12They laugh.
02:12They work.
02:13But he doesn't listen to me.
02:14How much stress and anxiety do I have to tolerate?
02:17Believe me, if it wasn't because of my son, I wouldn't stay in this house for a moment.
02:22Oh, come on, Miss Shaheen.
02:25You can't resolve anything by sulking and coming into the yard.
02:28Nothing.
02:29Oh, yes.
02:29We argue with each other a hundred times a day.
02:32Me and Firouz, we had an argument before you came.
02:35It's the spice of life.
02:37Yeah, yeah.
02:38Nasrat is the same.
02:39Oh, I love you, too.
02:40When he's idle, he stays in the house, and he keeps nagging all the time.
02:44And believe me, I don't even pay attention to what he says anymore.
02:48Oh, he makes such a big deal out of everything.
02:52Our kitchen faucet has been leaking for a few days now.
02:55But he doesn't care about it.
02:57But if I accidentally break a saucer, he'll get on my nerves for days.
03:02But, Shaheen, who would ever sulk just because of a kitchen faucet?
03:07Let's go inside.
03:08I'll fix it.
03:09Let's go, let's go.
03:10Oh, please, please, go ahead, Duke.
03:11I'll fix it for you.
03:12Let's go.
03:12No, Firouz.
03:14I don't care about the kitchen faucet.
03:16Then why?
03:16My problem isn't the water faucet.
03:18Then what is it?
03:20I'm fed up with him.
03:21He doesn't let me pass a day without a fight.
03:23Oh, no.
03:24No, no, no.
03:25Oh, that's really bad.
03:26That's really bad.
03:35Careful.
03:36Keep going.
03:38These worthless dishes were ruining my life.
03:41Come on, man.
03:43Hurry up.
03:43Hurry up.
03:44Hey, hey, hey.
03:46Go, go, go, go.
03:48Don't hit it against the wall.
03:49It'll be damaged.
03:50The hell with you.
03:52Oh, come on, Shaheen.
03:55Mr. B. Johnny is not the monster you're talking about.
03:58No, no, no, no.
03:59He really isn't.
04:00He really isn't.
04:00I think that you'd better go upstairs.
04:03Yes.
04:04Sit next to him.
04:05Then ask him what the problem is.
04:08Ask him what's wrong and what you can do to help.
04:12What he wants.
04:13Am I right at that?
04:14Yes.
04:14True.
04:14Oh, of course.
04:15You wouldn't believe it, Shaheen.
04:17The ruse has annoyed me hundreds of times in a way that I wanted to chop off his head.
04:22For example, just five minutes ago.
04:24But then I thought to myself, it's the spice of life.
04:27You're my spice.
04:28It's the spice of life.
04:29I thought it's okay.
04:30Now I think you'd better take Shaheen upstairs.
04:34But how?
04:35Make some tea.
04:36And?
04:37Take it to their house.
04:38Uh-huh.
04:38Shaheen, you have to go sit next to Mr. B. Johnny.
04:42Like a love bird.
04:44Oh, my.
04:44Pour some tea and he'll drink it.
04:46Oh, my.
04:47Pour some tea.
04:47Let's go upstairs.
04:49I promise that.
04:50Let's go upstairs.
04:50I promise you'll feel better.
04:52It'll be all right.
04:52Let's go upstairs.
04:53Let's go upstairs.
04:54Oh, go.
04:54Oh, leave me alone.
04:55I don't want to go upstairs.
04:58I want to stay right here to see when he's got to back down.
05:03Yes.
05:04Oh, come on.
05:04B. Johnny's always been useless.
05:06What the hell with you, B. Johnny?
05:07Hello.
05:08Hello, Mr. B. Johnny.
05:09Hello.
05:09Hello, Mr. B. Johnny.
05:10Are you all right?
05:11Hello, Mr. B. Johnny.
05:12You're okay?
05:13Say, Shaheen, is it over?
05:15Are you feeling any better now, darling?
05:18And what about you?
05:20Will you ever back down, B. Johnny?
05:23Is it over?
05:26I will back down forever, darling.
05:29And yes, it's all over now.
05:33Well, thank God.
05:35That's great.
05:36Thank God.
05:36That's great.
05:37Thank God.
05:38So, as it's cold, we'll go drink a cup of tea.
05:41Two, two, two cups of tea.
05:43Why don't you join us?
05:44Let's drink two cups of tea in those little cups.
05:47Enjoy it.
05:48Enjoy it.
05:48Oh, oh, oh.
05:49Hurry up, hurry up.
05:50Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up.
05:51Oh, it's Rustami again.
05:53They're done.
05:54Hurry up, hurry up.
05:55Okay, got it in.
05:55Hurry up.
05:56They'll find out about them.
05:58Is this how it says to them?
05:58Yes, it is.
05:59Go, man.
06:00Yes, I do.
06:00But, kid, let's go, eh?
06:02Hurry up.
06:11Hey, come here.
06:13Me?
06:13Are you talking to me?
06:14Was the driver of that car your friend?
06:16Him?
06:17Yes, the driver of that pickup.
06:18They were my friends.
06:19They sell watermelon.
06:21They were passing by.
06:22That missed me.
06:23Uh, we thought we should see each other.
06:26Huh.
06:26You know, you have really nice friends.
06:29My friends are really disloyal to me.
06:32Go inside, please.
06:33Believe me, man.
06:34Oh, no.
06:35They're good friends.
06:36Maybe they're busy somewhere.
06:38Hurry up.
06:39Hurry up.
06:40A fruit darling, don't do it.
06:42Don't do it.
06:42Go over there.
06:43Go over there.
06:44Stop it.
06:44Go bring the holes.
06:46I don't want you to help.
06:47Oh, dear.
06:48Leave it there.
06:48Is the detergent here?
06:50Yes.
06:50Take it.
06:51Hey, Beruz, come on.
06:53Brother.
06:55Beruz, I can hear Ardashir's voice.
06:57Ardashir?
06:58Beruz.
07:00Oh, no.
07:01I can hear his voice.
07:03Hey, roll it up.
07:03Roll it up.
07:04Roll it up.
07:05Roll it up.
07:05Oh, no.
07:06Why'd he come back now?
07:08You said even if he loses, he won't be back before four, didn't you?
07:12I don't know why he's back so soon.
07:14Hurry up, hurry up.
07:15You had terrible ideas.
07:16I knew from the start that your ideas would lead us nowhere.
07:18Yeah, his idea.
07:19You'd better go upstairs.
07:21Upstairs.
07:21Let me help you.
07:22Come on.
07:23Leave it.
07:23Go.
07:24Leave it.
07:24Let me just give a hand.
07:25Roll it up.
07:26He's coming.
07:27Come on.
07:28Come on.
07:29Grab hold of it.
07:29Let's put it up there.
07:30Give him your gloves.
07:31Come on.
07:31Put it up there.
07:32Let's get it on the truck.
07:33Put it up.
07:34Go.
07:34Go.
07:34Put it up.
07:35Go.
07:35I can't you do anything right, you clumsy fool.
07:38Come on.
07:39Lift.
07:39Lift.
07:42Come on.
07:42Come on.
07:43Come on.
07:46Come on.
08:02The bridge has remained on the other side of the river again.
08:05Do you want me to go find out why he's come back so early?
08:08And today when we needed him to play chess for longer, he's come back so early.
08:14Should I go ask around about it?
08:26Oh, God.
08:28I don't have anything to do with him.
08:31He's all over.
08:32There must be a reason why you've constructed his foundation like this.
08:36But what would happen if Odisher had sat in the park today to play chess so he could
08:44wash Rastani's carpets without any worries and then it'd all be over?
08:49Huh?
08:50What would happen?
08:54Firuz, it's Nosrat.
08:57He won't leave me alone.
08:58He keeps sending messages for dinner.
08:59He keeps sending messages.
09:00He won't leave me alone.
09:01Oh, that's the last thing I care about.
09:04In this condition, I have to go all the way to see Nosrat.
09:07And who knows where he wants to take us to give us a couple of skewers of liver and call
09:11it dinner like before.
09:12You know, you know, this time he's very persistent, very persistent.
09:19We ate last night's Persian herb frittata for today's dinner.
09:23Why don't we make him invite us for some liver tonight?
09:32Listen, Miros, let me tell you, I've got a new plan and if it works out, it will be great.
09:38And I'm sure it will work out.
09:39That's great, I know, I know.
09:40Me, Efat and the kids have to jump up and down to get hungry.
09:43Shut up, shut up, shut up, man.
09:44Shut up, shut up.
09:45Huh?
09:49Hello, Nosrat?
09:51What?
09:52Hey, listen.
09:54Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:57Yeah.
09:58Yeah.
10:00Listen to what I'm saying for a second.
10:02You want to invite us to dinner tonight, right?
10:05You're not bragging, are you?
10:08Do you really want to invite us to dinner tonight, Nosrat, do you?
10:12All right, now you'd better listen.
10:14Listen, when you come and see the restaurant, you won't believe your eyes and instead, you'll believe me.
10:20Yes, then you'll definitely find out who are you talking to, Farouz.
10:26Don't try to scare me.
10:27You can bring everyone in the neighborhood.
10:29You know you can bring everyone you see on the street.
10:31Listen, Nosrat, if you try to brag, I know how to deal with you.
10:35We'll find out about it.
10:36Yes?
10:38Yeah.
10:39Yeah.
10:40Yeah.
10:42Yeah.
10:44Listen, give me the address to the damn restaurant.
10:47I want to bring along two pickups full of people.
10:51Tonight, we'll all go to that restaurant.
10:54Ah, that's great.
10:56That's great.
10:56Great.
10:57But you'll stay here.
10:59Why?
11:00Why should I always be the reserve player?
11:02Because it's necessary, Beruze.
11:06I'll take all the neighbors, as well as Ardashir.
11:09Every one of them.
11:10I'll take them all to the restaurant that Nosrat has invited us to.
11:14You have to tell the workers to come here quickly.
11:16And as soon as we get out the house, you have to go inside and wash and wash and wash
11:20and wash and wash and wash and wash and wash and wash and wash.
11:27Which restaurant will you go to?
11:29Did he say?
11:36You mean, from all of the things that I said, all you heard was the word restaurant?
11:44Hurry up, man.
11:45Hurry up.
11:45Bring the workers here.
11:47Don't hang around.
11:48Someone might see you and insist that you come along as well.
11:51Do you understand?
11:52Yeah, yeah, sure.
11:53Quickly, hurry up.
11:54Okay.
11:54Do you have the detergent?
11:55Yeah, man.
11:55I bought a lot of boxes for the brother-in-law carpet washing center.
11:58We didn't work there, so we still have them.
12:00It's strange.
12:02It's strange.
12:05You've done something right.
12:08Come on.
12:08Come on.
12:09Hurry up.
12:09Hurry up.
12:10Hurry up, man.
12:11Come on.
12:16Hurry up.
12:19When it comes to exploiting me, the engine runs with the first start and the pump works correctly.
12:39It's a tight, we're having dinner.
12:42It's a tight, we're having dinner.
12:44Don't move, we're having dinner.
12:47Don't move, we're having dinner.
12:49Hey, boy, don't move so much.
12:51I can't breathe.
12:54Shaburi, it's bad.
12:55An elder is here.
12:56Oh.
12:57There are lots of restaurants around us.
13:00I don't know why they're taking me to the restaurant.
13:02I don't know where it is.
13:03At least told me that he's invited us to their own restaurant, the Holdings Restaurant.
13:08Now, will you explain what the hell a holding is?
13:12Bijani's kidding.
13:13Bijani, it's called holding.
13:16Holding.
13:16Holding.
13:18God willing, God willing, he's promised that he'll find jobs for my wife's relatives.
13:24And your own relatives?
13:26Don't keep talking about me.
13:27Hey, goat, don't die.
13:28The spring will come.
13:29Hey, goat, don't die.
13:31The spring will come.
13:33Melon and cucumbers will come.
13:35Melon and cucumbers will come.
13:37Wait a minute, man.
13:38I'm worried the guy might butter me up with a dinner so I can't get my five-months-overdue rent.
13:43I think he's waiting for me to forget about the whole thing.
13:47Sit tight, we're having dinner.
13:49Sit tight, we're having dinner.
13:51Sit tight, we're having dinner.
13:52Sit tight, we're having dinner.
13:54Hey, knock your head.
13:54Go down, go down.
13:55The police.
13:56All right, all right.
13:56The police.
13:57Oh, man.
13:58We passed them.
13:59We passed them, okay?
14:00Come on up.
14:01Come on.
14:02It's over.
14:04Afroos, congratulations.
14:05Oh, that is so exciting.
14:07All right, go.
14:08How wonderful for you.
14:10This is so exciting and I'm so glad we're all here to enjoy it with you.
