Alone Page #3

I mean, it was a kind of joke.

I told you already, your jokes suck.

And actually, I did gate-31-gate...

...but you don't

accept private numbers...

So then I had to

call normally.

Hey! How can you be so confident

about yourself?

Excuse me, but this was supposed

to be an apology call.

And I'm still

taking a knocking here.

Say something nice for once.

Something that works like medicine.

The cake was nice... Will that do?

By the way, where did you get it?

Don't say your mum made it, did she?

Hah! There! Now sit tight! I made it.

Oh yeah! I really swallowed that!

I actually did swallow

it. After you left, I sat down...

...and ate the whole thing,

I was so mad.

I didn't feel at all bloated.

A whole cake!

Who made it, honestly?

Ah! I don't believe it!

I promise you it was me.

I don't normally talk about

my talent to people straight off.

So should I feel privileged now?

Shouldn't you? You want to feel like

someone ordinary, someone regular?

I think you're doing

yourself down, young lady.

I'm hanging up... Look, I'm telling you

in words I'm going to hang up.

So it's not like

I hung up in your face...

OK, see you. I mean... It just

came out like that.

See you...

Has your friend turned up?

Sure, she's here. We're all

dressed up waiting for you.

Are we talking a Lolita?

A true Lolita. Don't

scare the girl on the first night.

Don't be an animal

with her. OK?

OK. I'll be with you

in ten minutes.

Don't be scared. He won't hurt you.

I'm here, honey. Only do

what you want to do.

I'll hold your hand.

Don't worry. OK?

I can't live with you or without you

It's too bad, there are no answers

Being either together or apart

It's impossible, for no reason

What dreams we had, what hopes

How we longed to be happy

Neither you are to blame nor I

Hi, Mum... Mum... How are you?

I put 2000 lira in your account today.

Withdraw it from the bank today.

Well, OK. You were talking about a

wedding and stuff.

Go and buy yourself a dress.

OK, Mum. OK.

I'm hanging up now. We'll talk again

later. I have work to do.

It's us! Good morning!

Good morning. Welcome.

Thank you. All's well, I hope... Is our

costume ready?

Yes, absolutely. The young lady

will go down in history today...

...as my first

female cowboy.

Well, I really don't know where

she got the idea from.

I told you! That film with Selma

Hayek...

Today's kids... Couldn't you have been

a princess, darling?

Wouldn't that have

been better?

That's so boring, Granny.

Ah! We'll end up with a little boy

Fatma at this rate.

Hey, come on! I want to put it on.

Well, it rather suits you. Really. Huh?

Can I take a

picture for my collection?

I mean just

for the store.

Of course. Go ahead.

- Are these the others?

- Yes.

Well, they re

marvellous. I mean, honestly...

But wouldn't it be easier if you

used a digital camera?

Hmmm.

Now come here.

Do a huge smile for me. OK?

My name is Bond, Alper Bond...

Oh, please! You mean people

are still doing that?

It takes me

back to middle school.

So it's not that outdated after all.

- Why am I here, right?

- You took the words out of my mouth.

You owe me a shirt.

I soaked it in bleach but

the stain didn't come out.

Oh God. I'll get you

a new one right away.

You have another choice. Forget

the shirt, but have dinner with me.

I'll do the cooking.

Right in front of your eyes.

I'll make another cake too.

Carrot and cinnamon.

OK... I'll get the shirt.

Don't do this to me.

I want to say something. Maybe I'm

married. Maybe I'm a lesbian.

Maybe I have a boyfriend who's a

boxer... God!

Don't you want to know

the slightest thing?

Maybe... I'm trying out the other side

of maybe...

At the end of the day, I'm

trying it out... Allow me... Dinner.

Just dinner. I'll leave you in peace

afterwards. Promise.

All the secrets of carrot

and cinnamon cake...

A new skill you'll be proud of.

My record collection. Something

with vegetables, light and harmless.

Just one glass of wine and

a lift home afterwards.

That's

all part of the package.

- I'll come at 7 and leave at 10.

- 11.

- The shirt.

- OK, 10. Tonight.

I'm off before you change your mind.

I'll call you at 6.

To give you directions. Make

sure you hear your phone.

Ooph...

I mean, 70s or 80s pop.

Something not too well known.

Listen to this. It came in just

yesterday.

Hello, Sinem? How's things? Ooph!

I've done something really dumb tonight.

God knows what I'm doing.

Stop me, please...

Look, I'll explain now.

Hope you don't have it already.

No, I don't. Really.

Where did you find it?

Come in. You know how hard it is

to track down the original?

Hold a vegetable in your hand and it

tells you how long it needs cooking.

You just have to learn to look at it,

see it and listen to it...

You can't put everything in one dish.

A pinch of this, a pinch of that.

No way.

That would be

vulgar and ignorant.

What we need is

the beauty of harmony.

Don't believe it when they say things

like throw it all in together and stir.

They all have different cooking times.

Zucchini, mushrooms and this lot...

...cook the quickest. You can't throw

them in with carrots...

Just listen to what they tell you...

Vinegar, mustard, they're dominant

flavours...

You should think twice

before using them.

They can be wonderful in some dishes,

but they can also murder others.

Wait, don't drink yet. I always think

it's something that people do wrong.

Will you taste the food first?

Wow! It's like poetry...

Ah! It's like...

Individually they're all different,

but they're all the same as well.

There you go... Look, if you'd

had some wine beforehand...

...the food would only

have tasted of wine.

Like this, the wine goes with it.

The first taste is the

most important.

Because the second follows it.

There's something else my

profession gives me as well.

I know people from the way they eat.

You, for example, are a one-by-one

kind of person.

You like living life slowly, serenely

and without hurrying.

Alternatives and abundance

are things that scare you.

Hmmm... I see.

There's no rule to say that's how it

is. It's just the fun part of the job.

The fun part. Really? Fine, then.

All right... You know what the most

beautiful thing about cooking is?

What?

Feeding someone... Or rather, seeing

the expression on their face...

...when they take the first mouthful...

There, that's like the picture of my life.

Just like the kids on your wall...

I did fine arts at university. Stage

design and decor. I spent a while...

...working as an art director

on films and TV soaps...

But the way the market

operates isn't exactly up my street...

How should I put it?

It's kind of like the system's based...

...a bit on exploitation... Plus

a load of people don't value...

...what you do in the first place.

I haven't severed all my

connections though...

I hire out costumes for films

or make them...

But at the end of the day,
