Wait for them to come out one by one?

Look, those two have finished.

They're coming out.

Finished what?

Don't know.

Finished whatever they were doing.

- This way, ladies.

- What for?

- Move along.

- We didn't do anything!

Move along!

You have no right touching me. l'm coming.

Come on. The party goes on this way.

Come on. The party goes on this way.

Can smell their perfume from here.

You're lucky. l smell nothing.

How much longer?

Last time,

we finished at 4:00 in the morning.

Yes. Their kind sleeps in during the day.

At night, they do that.

Do what?

Don't know. They booze it up.

And you, did you eat something?

No.

Then you'll be my guest.

You haven't eaten.

- Have something.

- Thanks, but l can't.

- Go on!

- No, thank you.

- Sir, have some.

- What's that?

A gift from Heaven.

Pizzas are falling from the sky?

Have some.

- No, thanks.

- Go on.

No, thanks.

Have some, so the others will dare to eat.

They're hungry. lt will get cold.

But only if l pay for them.

One of your lot has already paid.

- One of ours?

- ln a way...

Here, take a look.

- ls it really all right?

- Of course.

Here.

Be my guest...

Go on.

You, too.

Share it among yourselves.

Chief!

Have some, please...

Have some. There's no charge.

Have some.

- Share it.

- Thanks.

The chief took some. So can you.

Tell me, how old are you?

Will you tell the others?

- No.

- 15 years old.

The military's not for kids.

My older brother died.

So l was given his identity card.

What's happening?

- What's going on here?

- A block party.

Here.

- Can l take some for the kids?

- Yes.

Does this go on every night?

l don't know.

Chief! A car's coming.

How are you?

Look at our Mr. Hussein.

How classy!

- Why's she all dressed up like that?

- l'll tell you later.

- You think he'll let us in?

- Trust me.

Everything's cool.

You look like real rich people!

Yes, may l help you?

Pardon?

May l help you?

The other day, there was an older man.

Mr. Vaziri is downstairs. May l help you?

l would like gold for my fiance.

And what would you like today?

An ensemble, with a necklace.

Excuse me, one moment...

- ls Mr. Vaziri here?

- Yes, he'll be right up.

- May l take that for you?

- No, thank you.

We're in a hurry.

Of course. Something to drink?

No, thank you.

Mr. Vaziri, Mr. and Mrs. Mozafarian are here.

- So, what would you like?

- A necklace.

May l ask your price range so

that l can be of assistance?

Between 1 and 1 .5...

l could go to 2 million.

This way, l'll show you several styles.

The blue ones, that's what l'd like...

They're more expensive

than your price range.

Come this way. l'll show you others.

l can propose these necklaces.

There's this one, made in ltaly.

Or this one...

lt's in yellow gold.

Which color are you leaning toward?

Do you prefer yellow gold or white gold?

That stuff from lndia or Pakistan is real chic.

Don't you have any?

No, sorry.

l'm sure you already know...

the trend is toward ltalian

and lranian necklaces.

We don't import from other countries.

So, tell me what you prefer...

among those l showed you?

What do we do now?

You're paying. You choose.

Mr. Vaziri?

Hello, how are you?

Your order is ready.

l hope you'll find it to your satisfaction.

Do you mind if l have a look at it?

- Would you like a mirror?

- No.

Hussein?

We're in a hurry. How much do l owe you?

- lt's a pleasure serving you.

- You're so kind.

Nine million, six hundred thousand.

- With the discount.

- Fine. Thank you very much.

He didn't even look at us.

- Thank you, Mr. Vaziri.

- At your service.

Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

- Come back soon.

The pleasure is ours.

l'll try that, please.

l'll try that, please.

- Do you like it?

- Yes.

What is it?

Those are diamonds on white gold.

How much is it?

lf you like it...

the price is within your budget.

- What do you think?

- What?

- The necklace?

- Yeah, looks good.

Would you like to try on

the matching earrings?

Yes, give them to her.

That will cost too much.

Give her the earrings.

ls that stuff l asked you about

a lot more expensive?

Honestly, l don't know what to tell you.

We don't carry those styles.

l fear l won't be able to help you.

l'm sure it's more expensive and more chic.

- l don't know.

- Bigger and cooler.

- ls it pretty?

- Yes. Try the other one.

But they're not shoes!

How much do they cost?

The price of the necklace is 1,150,000.

Total price is 1,800,000.

Below what the gentleman requested.

Can l give you a piece of advice?

What you chose is ltalian.

l suggest you consider buying...

something which could be

rapidly liquidated...

if ever you're in need.

We always try to satisfy our customers.

So l suggest...

to buy handcrafted gold...

made in lran.

Can we see some?

We don't have any here.

You can find it in the bazaar,

in the Galubandak district.

You know, there's a gold souk.

lf my daughter was getting married...

l'd advise her to make an investment.

l'd tell her not to buy jewelry.

Buy gold which can be rapidly liquidated.

Goodbye.

Congratulations.

What's come over you?

What's wrong?

lt's Ali, l swear...

He told me to dress like this.

l didn't want to.

He doesn't know who he's dealing with.

- Want a cigarette?

- No, l'm cold.

l'll get your jacket.

ls it me? Am l the reason you're upset?

No. Let's go.

Here's your cap.

- Want me to drop you off?

- No, go on.

- Will you drop off my sister?

- Yeah, go on.

- Bye.

- See you later.

Are you mad at me

because l lifted my shawl?

l just wanted to show you the necklace.

No. Let's go.

Hussein!

l was so happy to see you like that...

ln a suit and tie at the jewelry store.

l thought:
He's better.

We'll be married soon.

l didn't want to go.

l only went because you asked.

You know l don't care about jewelry.

l'm sure we could rent jewelry somewhere.

Just for the sake of appearances.

We would give them back after.

There's no real need for them.

Are you mad at me?

Tell me, are you angry?

No, not angry.

Why did we go there?

There must be some reason...

No, it's nothing.

lt was too expensive.

l was thinking about something

around 200, 250.

Ali said 1 .5 million and you said 2 million.

ls it me? ls there something wrong with me?

Are you angry with me?

No.

Was it because l lifted my shawl?

What's bothering you?

Nothing. Please stop talking.

Don't l have the right to know?

No.

As you wish.

l don't want to make you mad.

ls it because of the tie?

What?

Because you don't want to wear one

for our wedding?

There must be something wrong.

Tell me what would make happy.

Goodbye.

l didn't do anything!

Sergeant!

What for?

l did nothing!

Why are you taking me away?

l did nothing!

Stop whining! Take the kid inside.

Number 14!

Hi, Hussein.

One second. l'll bring your box.

Hi. Can you give me a light?

Hey, skinny! Move away from there.

Hi, Ali.

So, skinny, how are you

holding up in this cold?

Tough guys like me adapt to everything.
