- Are you bored?

- No.

CLIMATES:

Should we give Arif a call?

Bahar!

Sure.

- Semra, dinner was great. Thanks.

- I hope you enjoyed it.

- How about some coffee?

- How do you take it?

- Medium-sweet for me.

- Me too.

Arif, it must be interesting living

here.

- It's kind of boring actually.

- Why are you living here then?

What else can I do?

The weather's great

but that's about it.

If there were a few more people

like us around...

Why don't you come down

more often?

Actually this is the first time

we've been away in years.

Bahar has that TV series.

The schedule's always up in the air.

And I have the university, you know.

I'm free in summer

but then Bahar is usually busy.

What's your job on the series,

Bahar?

Art director.

Is that the one with Ugur Ycel?

No, that's a different series.

There are no big names in ours.

It's getting cold.

- Aren't you cold?

- No, I'm fine.

- Why don't you put your jacket on?

- I told you, I'm fine.

You seem kind of fed up.

What's wrong?

What's going on?

Is there a problem?

Why are you using that tone?

Why do you keep nagging?

If I am nagging, it's for your own

good, isn't it?

If I was cold,

I'd be wearing the thing anyway.

Can't we go anywhere

without you making problems?

Hey, come on!

Don't go over the top.

Don't worry.

They enjoy seeing us miserable.

Come on.

You wrecked dinner, then...

No. It's OK. Don't worry.

Hey, come on, guys!

Just forget it.

So you can hear the waves

all the way up here.

- Is that the sea just down there?

- Yes, it's right there.

- Just behind those trees?

- Yes.

Kas has got so big.

I came here back in 1977.

There was nothing here then.

It's tourism. The Germans started

coming. So then...

- I worked as a waiter here.

- Really?

Shall we go for a swim?

What, now?

- Yes.

- You'll freeze.

Are you crazy? For God's sake!

Where do you get these ideas?

Why not if you want. But...

Forget it. It would be bad for

Isa's neck.

It's late.

Let's have our coffee and get going.

Semra, where's the coffee?

- You can stay here if you like.

- No, it's OK. The hotel's fine.

- Are you comfortable there?

- Yes.

I love you.

What's up?

You're covered in sweat.

I must have fallen asleep.

You shouldn't be sleeping in the

sun. It's really dangerous.

Bahar.

I want to say something,

but please don't get the wrong idea.

Maybe we should go

our own ways for a bit.

What do you think?

We'd still be good friends. I mean, it

wouldn't change things a lot.

We'd still go out together,

go out for dinner, go to the movies.

We don't have to be friends.

I don't mind.

Come on, Bahar.

Don't be like that for God's sake.

This would be better for you as well.

Even that meaningless "Serap"

incident has screwed you up.

You call it meaningless?

For God's sake,

don't get started on that again.

It's better that way for you as well.

You know it yourself.

You don't have to worry about me.

I'll be fine.

That's what I mean.

You're young. You're attractive...

You can get all the men you want.

Maybe it's true what you said.

Maybe I am too old for you.

The age difference

really has become a problem.

It just isn't working.

We can't seem to get along.

I don't need convincing, you know.

I agree with you.

I'm not trying to convince you,

just to point out the facts.

You know I'm right.

Are you crazy?

Are you trying to kill us both?

If you're that keen to die,

shall I throw you off?

- Shall I throw you off?

- Get off me!

Get off me!

Come back here.

Bahar!

Come back!

F***ing hell!

Your baggage receipt.

Don't lose it.

Do you have a sweater with you?

It gets really cold at night.

Yes, I do.

- OK then. Have a good trip.

- Thanks.

I'll call you when I'm back in

Istanbul.

- Don't.

- What?

- Don't call.

OK, people.

I want you to compare the

architecture of these two temples.

You have 15 minutes.

Any questions?

- How are you doing?

- Fine.

- How did the exam go?

- OK.

Who switched on my computer?

I have no idea.

Probably one of your students.

- Come on! Was it you?

- No! Why would I switch it on?

- Are you leaving?

- Yes, I have to.

I'm going to an art exhibition with

Pinar. Join us if you like.

Thanks, but no. I want to read

through these exam papers.

Can't you do that later?

I don't like taking work home.

I'll get it done here.

I've booked the court for Saturday.

Hopefully that's OK with you.

What if it rains?

Always excuses. If it rains, it rains!

In that case, we play even if it

snows.

OK. It's a deal.

- No getting out of it.

- No.

- We'll even go for a swim.

- In the sea?

All right, we'll do that too.

OK, see you then.

- Let's have coffee before you go.

- I don't have time, honestly.

She'll only complain if I am late.

I should go.

- OK. Have a good time.

- Thanks.

Isa?

Isa!

- Hey, how are you?

- Great.

- What are you up to?

- Same as ever. Work and all that.

- You're still in advertising?

- Yes. They won't let me go.

- Hey, Serap! How are you?

- Fine. And you?

Fine. It's so nice that you're still

together after all this time.

Did you get married?

I have an hour to kill.

Shall we have a drink together?

Let's see.

No. Sorry.

I have to meet someone.

Come on.

We hardly ever run into each other.

- I can't. But let's be in touch.

- OK.

- Don't forget though.

- You never call either.

Neither do you.

We're both as bad as each other.

- How are you doing?

- OK.

We're just looking at books and

magazines.

- OK. I'll see you then.

- See you. Take care.

Hey, the place has changed.

Why are you looking at me like that?

I can leave, if you want.

How did you know

I'd come home alone?

Gven said so, didn't he?

At the bookstore.

And I guess I wanted to try my luck.

Aren't you going to offer me

anything?

You want something to drink?

What should I have?

Something alcoholic?

Have whatever you want.

OK, I'll have coffee.

It's coffee then.

Then we'll move on to wine.

OK?

Sure.

You haven't been around

for a while.

Is Bahar out of town again?

What's it got to do with Bahar?

What are you trying to say?

What are you laughing at for God's

sake?

OK, OK. Calm down!

I am.

- These are stale.

- Don't eat them then.

Open your mouth.

How can you wear those pointed

shoes? They're so ugly.

I like them.

You want it?

- Nothing's wrong with it.

- No!

- Don't be so picky.

- It's been on the floor.

- So? The floor's clean. Go on.

- I told you, I don't want it.

There, it's done.

That's much better.

I was treading on them before.

They're just right now.

- Was there anything else?

- No, that's it. Thanks.

You're welcome.

I have to go, Mum. I'm running late.

I'm still working on my thesis.

I have to meet someone.

- You haven't eaten anything.

- I'm not hungry yet.

I can eat at home.

- Drop by now and again.

- I can't but I will try.

If I could just finish my thesis...

I still could not complete

lectorship thesis.

You should be thinking

about having children.
