City of Life Page #6

got to do with it?

Boss please drive a little faster!

My brother...

this is a taxi, not a plane!

I know it is a taxi.

It was my taxi.

I drove it for many years.

Same seats,

with the same stain,

everything is the same.

The only difference,

is the Qur'an hanging on the mirror.

What?! What did you

say about the Qur'an?

I didn't say anything...

Why did you stop. Just drive!

Now you say drive!

Today you're saying

this taxi is yours!

Tomorrow you'll say

my country is yours!

Then you will say

I am yours!

You could have been killed!

You're really crazy!

He wasn't going to do sh*t!

Yeah? How do you know?

He had a gun!

All this because of a flicking off?

What a waste

You're the one

who's a waste!

Khalfan, f*** off!

You don't think what your grandmother

and sister will do if you get killed?

You would look after them

I know that much!

Boss, actually

I have a 20 euro note.

Will it be 0k?

Why bother me?

What is this?

Twenty euro, euro, euro...what?

Brother this is not America.

This is Dubai, take

out the dirham's.

Boss, I adjusted to

a note like this once.

Can you please?

I'm not going to adjust.

My country and your country

have adjusted long enough

I'm not gonna adjust.

Boss, everyone has their own dreams.

I'm sure you do too.

If you get me there in time,

maybe my life will change.

Your life will change?

Stop dreaming.

Wake up!

I don't need to wake up,

I dream with my eyes open.

You know I love you

and that I would do

anything for you too!

I'm sorry Khalfan!

Don't be sorry bro

Life is too short!

Brothers!

Forever!

Sh*t!

Anyone in the ca!)?

- Check in the back...

- No one there?

Tell me he's okay?

Tell me he's okay?

Don't worry, God willing he'll be okay.

Oh my dear!

Where's Khalfan?

Dear Faisal?

Where is Khalfan?

Oh, where is Khalfan?

Where is he Faisal?

Where is Khalfan?

My Fatima!

My Fatima!

Where is your brother, Fatima?

Oh Khalfan!

How are you feeling?

I am so sorry Natalia.

You're the last person on earth I

want to see. Get out.

Please Natalia!

It was a bad mistake,

I know I screwed up.

Okay, he invited me over to chat about you

because he was concerned about you...

- F***ing hell!

- He kept pouring me drinks and it just

happened.

I really didn't mean it.

I can't tell you how sorry I am.

Did you tell him that I'm pregnant?

Oh of course not.

Good

Now get out.

I never wanna see your jealous, money

grabbing face ever again!

I know how much it hurts.

But I will, I promise, make it up to you

my darling you...

Make it up to me?

Make it up to me?

We're not friends.

You knew how I felt about him

and you did it out of spite.

If ever a person has been dead to

me, it's you.

Get out

Nat. I know I have no right...

but please don't tell Nasser.

Get out

What is this?

How dare you bring alcohol

into this house?

But father, I killed him.

If he wasn't coming for me he

would still be alive today.

I wish it was me who died.

No my son.

Get these thoughts out of your head.

It's not you who killed him,

it was the lifestyle you

both have been leading.

This is what killed him.

As I warned you.

Sleep and try to forget.

You have to deal with

this like a man.

You need to give your life some value

or at least...

give Khalfan's memory some value.

This time I'll forgive you

but I swear to God

even though I shouldn't

if you ever bring this sin

into my house again

you will not be my son

nor will I know you.

[Three men have been arrested for

kidnapping and attempted murder]

[Horrific accident on

Shk. Zayed Road]

Well, I must say I'm really

pleased with the results

and we can release you.

Thank you Doctor.

Can I see the mirror?

Oh yes. Yes, yes of course

here you are

Don't worry.

This has come out much

better than I thought

you're lucky to be alive.

Hi Natalia

You're a lucky woman

the baby's fine.

I'm going to have them

release you in the morning.

Sleep well!

My dear Khalfan

is getting ready

Man, what you spinning?

You're gonna take off!

You're starting to bald.

We're getting older.

You want a glove?

What am I, Michael Jackson?

Waiting for the fish today.

I love this life!

You and your cigarettes!

Think you're gonna catch

fish smoking that way?

I dare you, I dare you!

What's this?

Snapper

You're just envious

Dear boy, got excited that he's gone fishing.

What happened?

You okay?

I don't know what to say...

I'm an idiot.

We got drunk and it just happened.

I don't care.

I f***ed up,

but...

the last thing

that I ever want

is to hurt you.

Give me a chance,

let me help you with this.

This?

What do you mean, this?

Olga told me.

She was worried about you.

I've got a friend, he's a doctor.

He's the best in town.

No one need ever know

you were pregnant.

Like it never happened.

Guy...

I'm keeping the baby.

You're upset...

and you're emotional.

But you know that, that is impossible.

Let's just make this as

painless as we can.

Just leave...

you're pathetic.

Natalia...

we're not in Eastern Europe.

Seriously Guy f*** off!

I don't wanna see you,

hear you or anything.

I'm having the baby

and neither you nor anyone else

is going to stop me.

Let me explain something to you

in case you don't understand.

This is my city.

I know everyone.

And if you don't have this abortion

and get rid of this baby,

I will make it my mission in life,

my reason for getting up in

the morning to make you,

so intensely f***ing miserable!

That you'll be sprinting to the clinic!

So you listen to me when I tell you this,

I will f***ing break you!

Think about it?

While I was recovering

in hospital

I got evicted from my home.

I really need to get back on stage.

Even if it's for two

nights a week.

No

Nothing can be done for you.

Babu

One glass

Sir, if you're not gonna

help me, who will?

Look Basu

Not all work is bad.

Why don't you work as a waiter?

Doesn't pay as good

as a taxi driver

but it's something.

Here, drink!

Think about it

my friend.

Nasser

Hi Natalia

Olga told me about your accident.

Are you okay?

No, actually I'm not.

I'm leaving tonight for good.

Why?

What happened? What about Guy?

I found this in our flat.

Whoa. Wait a minute...

Can you explain this to me?

I can't

You're a nice guy Nasser.

I just came to say goodbye

and wish you good luck.

Take care

I remember the date, 20th February.

When my father was burnt alive in

front of me.

My mother was killed

my kids were taken away.

I'm asking what was their fault?

What was their fault?

Nothing

Today, your father was killed.

Your mother has been burned,

your kids have been

taken away from you.

Why should I care?

I look at you, and it makes me laugh.

Who are you?

How did you enter?

You don't see there's

an audition going on?

Go, take him out!

I perform

Where, in a circus?

Get him out of here!

I don't want to see you again!

20th of February, I still

remember that day.

When my parents were burned
