Come on, Mum.

Don't keep going on about that.

What does it matter

if I do or don't have children?

- Of course it matters.

- Why?

We're not getting any younger.

Who knows

how much longer we'll be around.

Having children adds

so much to your life.

But I don't even like kids.

It's different when they're your own

children.

Now, it may seem like that.

Just wait and see.

Dad, why are you wearing

that hat?

That's a new habit. He even wears

it when guests come over.

This hat has more uses than you

think.

For one, it protects the blood

vessels.

It makes the blood thinner

so it flows more easily.

Well, don't get too used to it, Dad.

He'll soon need another hat on top

whenever he goes outside.

As he wears one inside home,

that won't be sufficient outside.

I keep telling him but he never

listens.

It's late. I'd better be going.

Come and visit more often.

That was in.

What do you mean?

It was definitely out.

It looked to me like

it was on the line.

Are you blind?

So we'd planned the whole

wedding.

Imagine, everything's ready.

We go out for dinner one night.

Then suddenly, what do I see?

A finger wagging in my face.

That's a great image.

Unbelievable!

I said to myself,

just get out while the going's good.

I walked out and that was it.

Really!

I just left her like that.

That dress looks great on you.

- Really?

- Yes, really.

I like it a lot too.

You look good in black.

Thank you.

Gven got it for me in London.

Yes.

The bastard has good taste.

Why's he gone to Kazakhstan?

He's setting up an advertising

agency there. With a few friends.

That's why he has gone.

God! The stuff he gets into!

When does he get back?

- In a week or so.

- That's good.

So you're free for a whole week.

What's Bahar up to?

She's OK.

Does she come back to Istanbul

now and then?

- Where from?

- From the east.

What do you mean "the east"?

I heard she's working on a TV series

there.

Who told you that?

Nevzat. I ran into him the other day

at the opening of Istanbul Modern.

- We had a little chat. He told me.

- Who's Nevzat?

The architect, you know.

You mean Nevzat Sayin?

- How does he know?

- I've no idea.

When has she gone?

I really don't know.

Wait, didn't you know?

No.

Why not?

I just didn't.

We broke up.

Come on!

I don't believe you.

- Didn't I tell you?

- No.

Weren't you together

when you last came here?

Well, why didn't you say so?

You didn't ask.

How was I supposed to know

you'd split up?

- So why did you break up?

- It happened ages ago. In Kas.

Back in the summer

when we were in Kas.

Go on! What happened then?

I love hearing about break-ups.

Forget it.

It's a long story.

It's all dust and ashes.

Just like the song.

- Can I have more wine? It's good.

- Sure.

That tastes good.

Thanks.

An earthquake has occurred

but I didn't catch where.

I wonder if it was here in Turkey?

Are you going to watch that?

No. It's Cneyt zdemir's thing but...

Come over here.

My wife...

The earthquake...

I thought you said she wagged

her finger in your face?

Well, you should see Pinar now.

She's meek as a lamb.

There's no more wagging fingers.

Believe me.

After I walked out that evening

she got really scared.

It's the truth, honestly.

She knows where she stands now.

Maybe she will revert to...

...her old ways after marriage.

No chance of that.

The girl's terrified!

The way I acted that night

she really thought it was all over.

So, that is difficult for her to do.

I wouldn't be so sure.

What are you doing

for the winter holiday?

Maybe take a trip to Russia,

but we're not sure yet.

Are you crazy?

At this time of year?

Well I promised Pinar some time ago

so I have to go through with it.

What are you up to?

You have any plans?

Wow! A trip to the sun, huh?

I need some decent weather.

The cold here gets to my bones.

You'll get bored on your own.

Why would I get bored?

I've been dreaming of a trip on my

own for years.

I'm sure to meet someone there

anyway.

It sounds good at first,

but the more I think about it...

I find places like that a bit vacuous

and kind of empty.

What places?

Faraway places.

Especially when I'm on my own.

Other countries.

But you're going to another country.

But at least I have Pinar with me.

Come on! You'll be fighting every

day. Just wait and see.

No, we won't. Not any more.

Hopefully you're right.

I have a class to go to.

The students will be waiting.

- Are you here after class?

- Yes. I'll be around.

- I'll see you later then.

- Have a good class.

Thanks.

- Welcome.

- Thanks.

- Do you have a room?

- Yes.

- How much?

- 20 lira.

- Isn't the lift working?

- No.

- How much is this?

- 25 lira.

- Are there any different tunes?

- Sorry. No.

I called but your number's changed,

I guess.

Yes. It has.

- How long have you been here?

- Four months.

Really? It's been a long time.

Haven't you been back to Istanbul at

all?

When did you get here?

Yesterday.

Where are you staying?

At the Ortadogu Hotel.

Across the river.

- You look well.

- I am.

You look well too.

I guess I'm OK.

- What photographs did you bring?

- What?

What photographs did you bring?

The ones from Kas.

I happened to see them in my PC.

I thought I might run into you here.

That's why I brought them with me.

- I got this for you.

- What is it?

I found it wandering around last

night.

- It's nice.

- Smuggled in from Dubai.

It's nice.

There's so much smuggled stuff

here.

Yes, Cenk?

I gave them to Zafer.

What do you mean they're not there?

OK, I'll call him right away... OK.

Sorry.

- Is there a problem?

- No, not really.

Hello, Zafer?

Don't you have

the Aga's costume for today?

But you told Cenk

you didn't have it.

Can't you get anything done?

When are we leaving?

OK. OK then.

Sorry.

Shall I get you another tea?

No, I have to go.

I should leave in a minute.

What happened with your thesis?

I still haven't finished it.

I want to photograph the ruins

at Ishakpasha tomorrow.

I thought the photos would look

good in the thesis.

I thought I could drop by on you

while I was here.

Right.

OK.

I'll be going then.

- Will I see you this evening?

- Unlikely. We don't return till late.

That's OK. I'll wait up for you.

How much longer are you here?

I don't know.

- OK.

- What?

- I'm going.

- OK.

- Give me a call anyway.

- I won't have time.

- I don't have a spare minute.

- All right then. OK.

- Good luck with your work.

- You too.

Excuse me.

You're crew, aren't you?

Yes.

- Can you give this to Bahar?

- She's in the van.

- That van?

- Yes.

Or I'll give it to her if you want.

No. It's OK.

I'll do it myself.

Bahar?

Hey, sweetheart.

Why are you crying?

Bahar?

Come on, sweetheart.

Why are you crying?

Why are you here?

To see you, of course.

Sweetheart...

I've really changed.

I'm a different person now.

I know I never made you happy

in the past.

But I've really changed, honestly.

I say, you quit this job...
