Alone Page #4

I'm captain of my own ship.

I like films.

Everyone does... But I mean, it's a

crazy business.

Not my kind of thing at all. I had two

years in the business.

When I realised that in all that

time I hadn't spent...

...a single rainy evening shored up with

a book and a glass of tea...

I fled without so

much as a backward glance.

God! And you call me Bohemian...

You were supposed to be

teaching me the secrets of cake.

Hey, hold on! It's only 9.15.

How about

we listen to this?

Wait. Don't...

Oh God! The glasses are the size of

bell jars as it is!

Nil Burak. I'm Alone. Without wine.

I don't think so.

It's a clean copy... Wonderful.

This is a human voice, you know?

Back then there was no machine

they could make the sound with.

It's beautiful.

This could be the group Istanbul

Geliim. They played to a load of...

...people back then. Look, nothing's

done on the cheap, you see?

It's the real thing.

What dedication.

Beautiful.

You've made me very happy. Thanks.

I don't believe it... They're such

great songs, these.

But I'd never have guessed the sound

quality could be this good.

It's really better quality than a CD.

It's what everyone says when

they start out.

You know why? Because records are

analogue and haven't been compacted.

Here, listen... There's real depth to

it. It has the effect of being live.

In fact, look. Close your eyes.

It's like you're at a concert...

...like she's there

singing right in front of you.

Wow! It really is.

- Alper, I want to go home.

- Don't go.

- I must go.

- Stay.

- No.

- Stay.

- Please...

- Please.

- Alper...

- Ada...

It was strange... I'm sorry...

I guess

I got a bit over-excited.

It's OK. It doesn't matter.

Good morning.

You've cleared the whole

place up.

Yes... I had nothing else

to do. So I did it.

You should have woken me up.

Shall I get you one too?

No. I'm fine like this.

Did you sleep well last night?

I guess you got up at one point.

Yes... I'm not that used to sleeping

with someone.

I mean, it's got nothing to do with

you. It's just I'm not used to it.

In fact, I could even say

you're the first.

Is that supposed to

make me feel good?

Or the opposite perhaps?

We're just talking.

What are we talking about, huh?

I mean, is that it?

There was a guy I

talked to last night, yes.

But for the last 10 hours...

Since we had sex, in other words...

We're back to the kind of shallow

small talk you'd hear on the bus.

Ada, look. I'm just confused, that's

all. I'm a bit, you know...

A bit what? Why are you confused?

Yes, I'm expecting an answer.

Look, hang on! Where are you going?

Let's have breakfast.

Let me give you a half-baked

analysis of your coffee-drinking.

Your wanting

to share wasn't about sharing at all.

It was about finishing the coffee as

fast as possible. Believe me...

Whatever you may think, this isn't the

fun part of analysis either, unfortunately.

I have enough experience of life to

know that.

Hello? Good morning. How are you

doing? I'll explain.

Look, come to the

store and we'll grab breakfast. OK?

Hello, Glten Hanim?

Can you come today?

I'll be going out. I'll leave your

money in the normal place...

OK, take

it easy then.

Slow down, girl! What's going on?

Ada, talk to me.

Here. Drink this...

How about we go to

the bathroom? You can freshen up.

Ada, have you fallen in love?

- Don't be ridiculous.

- You have.

Look, I said no, didn't I? Are you off

your head?

Well, what else would you say?

It's him... What shall I do?

Pick it up, girl! You're being so

weird, Ada.

I'm not picking up right away.

Let him call a second time.

Hello? Ada's phone...

It's her friend here.

- Isn't she there herself?

- Yes... She is but...

She doesn't take

calls too often.

Ada, what's this bullshit?

Didn't you move a bit fast there?

No. I just turned around

while I still could.

What's all this about? OK, I was a

bit distant this morning. I agree.

That doesn't mean anything...

Ada, please.

Look, let's not turn this

into something ridiculous.

Ada, are you there?

Yes.

Please... Give me another chance.

Let's speak later.

It's not a good time.

- When should I call?

- Later... I don't know.

All right.

I did well, didn't I?

You were fantastic.

Sinem, are you taking the piss

or telling the truth?

In your current mood, you

object to everything anyone says.

I'll just agree with everything you say.

So it's that cycle...

You'll be back to normal in a few

days. Then I, you know...

Well, I got you a plaster.

- What shall I do with these?

- Toss them.

At least have a look, won't you?

What are they?

Toss them.

I'm hungry.

I make a sauce for this with soya sauce

and a splash of balsamic. It's so good.

Come on.

Take me somewhere.

Somewhere

quiet where we can listen to music.

There's this place I know. It's like

travelling back in time.

- You won't believe it.

- Make me believe it then.

Didn't you know

as you were caressed?

Didn't you laugh as I told you?

Our fortune holds longing

And separation, didn't I tell you?

You'd never have understood, never

You'd never have believed in fate

either

And you were supposed to be someone

Who could never cause hurt or be

heartless

I wish you happiness, my love

May life smile on you even if I am not

there

On your head be it

You leave behind a pair of crying eyes

OK. This is it.

See you in the morning.

I shouldn't come in?

No.

Let me come in.

Alper, suppose I had a chance to think

and sleep...

OK. We'll just sleep. That's all.

OK. But we just sleep.

OK.

Oh, baby! Oh!

- Alper, wait a sec...

- Quiet! Quiet!

Alper, what are you doing?

I'm sorry.

Will you look at me?

I am.

No. Look properly.

Feel my hand...

Feel that I'm touching you.

Right on your forehead are the

lines of my hand...

Can you feel them?

Open your eyes... Look at me.

What can you see?

You.

Yes... But you ought to see a load of

things along with me.

How do you mean?

My face should change.

It should become everything you love...

Otherwise it's a no-no...

Keep looking... I should be more than

just me now...

When you look at me it's like you should

capture a moment from your own life.

There should be a story...

That moment, I should be everyone you

love... And everything...

Hold my hand.

Can you tell which is your hand now?

They should become mixed up.

You should

mix them up.

I should become you, and you me...

You should get confused...

As though you re

making love to yourself...

- Ada... This is so beautiful...

- Yes...

Ada... My love...

Shhh...

Ada... I love you...

I know.

Ada... Ada...

Hey, don't look. I'm embarrassed.

OK... But I can't help it...

I want to say something...

You're very beautiful.

If you say so... OK.

I want to say something. I hardly know

anything about you.

Don't get me to talk about myself, will

you? I'm a straightforward guy.

What I mean is, I am what you see.

No more.

I bet there is more.

If there is, I don't know about it. I
