Hamam: The Turkish Bath Page #4

---

I hardly recognised him.

- Did you talk to him?

- Not yet.

- Why not?

- Paolo, don't rush me.

We were both tired,

I'll talk to him tonight.

Alright. When are you

calling me back?

- I'll call you at the lab tomorrow.

- Alright.

- Bye.

- Bye.

- Where are you going?

- Out with some friends.

You go out every night.

Don't shout.

Do I have to ask for your permission?

Yes, I'm sick of your friends.

And I'm sick of all

your customers' gossiping.

If I dont sew, how are we

supposed to get by?

God will punish you.

I'm sorry Marta. I'm sorry.

You are his punishment.

Don't come back too late.

Marta, do this.

- Let's take Marta around.

- Wanna go out?

- Yes, where...

- We can also do it tomorrow...

- Alright, tomorrow.

- Fusun, will you clean up?

I'll help you.

It's ready.

Look...

Anguish.

You can see here that

the anguish in you eats you up.

It closes the doors in front of you.

You brought this anguish from Italy.

- I see a two here.

- Goodnight, I'm going to bed.

Two hours, two days,

two months, two years...

or two men.

After that I see tranquillity.

You have a strange relationship

with work and money.

You touch a lot of money,

but it disgusts you.

Not exactly "disgusts", but...

You still don't know,

but a change will come.

- What kind of jam is that?

- Orange.

Why didn't you make plum jam?

I will, when I can find plums again.

Good morning Marta.

You got up early.

- Sit down.

- It's okay, I'll help myself.

- I'll do it.

- Perran...

Leave her alone.

She should feel at home.

I've got something to tell you.

Dundar and I want to get married.

- But you didn't like him!

- I changed my mind.

This is good news.

Dundar is a good boy

and Fusun is the right age.

If you have to get married,

I want you to be in love.

- There has to be no other reason.

- Perran, stop it.

We should be happy that

she wants to marry a serious guy.

She's almost twenty, we

don't want to miss the chance!

Tonight we'll go out for dinner

to celebrate this together.

In that case, "bardak".

Bardak.

I'm off. See you later.

- I need to talk to you.

- Can we talk tonight?

I've got a lot to do.

See you tonight.

Paolo? Pick up the phone.

Where the hell are you?

I'll have him sign the papers today

and book a flight for tomorrow.

I'll call you back with details.

Please be there tonight.

Ciao.

I'm very happy

to be with you tonight.

To Fusun! A toast.

I'm sorry Marta,

everyone's speaking Turkish.

Fusun doesn't have to work.

She can study and run the house.

To all the married couples!

Francesco, can you tell the waiter

that there's no more wine?

Some more wine, please.

- And how's the car?

- You have seen it.

I'd like to propose another toast.

To everyone in love.

This is an Armenian dish,

it goes with the raki.

It's made with tuna and soy.

Try it, you'll like it.

How long have you known each other?

I've been f***ing with Paolo

for two years.

What's the toast to?

Everywhere.

At home, at the studio, in the car,

in the lift, on the stairs...

What are you talking about?

Once we made it in you car.

It was great.

- Let's go out to talk.

- I want to stay here.

I'm going. You do as you please.

Where are you going?

I'm not done!

Where are you going?

You're running away?

Couldn't you choose

a better moment?

- You embarrassed me!

- I don't give a sh*t about them!

I care about them.

They've been very kind.

- You could have shown more respect.

- I could have shown less...

...by telling them just half of what I saw

last night in the Turkish bath.

Did you do that in Rome too?

- Did you? Answer me!

- No!

You came out here then!

I tried to reach you by phone,

I needed to talk to you,

I was confused, but you weren't there.

I've been here for three days,

always at your disposal,

and you've been avoiding me.

But it doesn't matter,

I came here to leave you.

. I'm glad I could help you.

- A**hole!

Did you come to Istanbul

to break my balls?

You're always the same.

All this calm, all this kindness...

Mr. Nice Guy...

I dont buy it, you don't give

a sh*t about Turkey.

- What do you know?

- Or even about your aunt...

...or the Turkish bath.

I know you too well.

- You know what the truth is?

- No. Tell me.

You're exploiting the situation,

you wanted to fool round,

and do here what you

were afraid to do in Rome!

How dare you judge me?

And what about the bullshit you told me

when you were out screwing Paolo?

How could you pretend

like that for two years?

It was easy, came natural.

You were unbearable,

always so flawless!

And your damned good taste!

But do you think before thinking

or are you stunned on alcohol?

- You can't even discuss things.

- I don't want to.

- I just want to end it, idiot!

- Let's end it, then!

Leave me alone!

I brought some papers

for you to sign.

- The sooner, the better.

- Give me a second.

- Sure.

- Thanks.

Where's the pen?

- Where should I sign?

- Bottom left of both pages.

You couldn't wait for that, huh?

Call Paolo and tell him all's set.

- I'll call him when I want to.

- Right, you're an adult now.

Move, I need to pack.

Will you call me a cab, please?

- Where are you going at this hour?

- To a hotel.

Why dont we try

and reason it out, talk...

If we don't do it now,

we never will.

You should have told me,

not let me find it out.

- You didn't tell me about Paolo too.

- It's not the same thing!

It is!

- I betrayed you with a man!

- So did I!

I'm going up.

- Wait a little more.

- Do you know what time it is?

I wasn't happy in Rome.

When I think of how I acted

with others and with you...

What a rotten existence...

It still makes me mad.

But everything has changed

since I came here.

People seem so much kinder,

and I'm kinder with others.

I'm more enthusiastic about things.

Osman and Perran treat me like a son.

Mehmet gives me courage.

He listens to me, and understands me.

It's good being with him.

This is the life that I wanted.

I must buy something

for Nelly before leaving.

- Marta...

- Hi Perran. I'm almost done.

- So you've decided?

- Yes, I'm leaving tomorrow.

Give these to Fusun.

- Tonight I'll sleep in a hotel.

- No.

Think before going,

only a few days.

- I'm sorry you all got involved.

- Don't say that.

I only want you to think for good.

That's why I say

stay a little more,

to think better, and then decide.

If you dont want to sleep with

your husband, stay here alone.

I'll tell him to sleep with Mehmet.

Francesco?

Ciao.

I'm about to leave.

Send them back

after you've read them.

I left the book

and the newspapers in the room.

When is you flight?

Tomorrow at 11.

Ciao.

Don't...

I'm going.

Say good-bye to Osman

and thank him for me.

I'm sorry that Fusun isn't here too.

She didn't know you were leaving.

I'll call her in the morning,

before leaving. Ciao Perran.

Thanks again, for everything.

Good-bye Marta. This is always

your home, whenever.

- Good luck.
