So you were able

to find some work?

Yeah.

I sent some money

to Aseta.

Oh, that's a good thing.

She asked me...

if they could come here.

Come here for what?

There's nothing for

women to do here.

You know how it is.

There's no work

for women here.

You think you'll make

a home for them here?

You know you'll go back.

They want to come here.

And it's their choice.

I can't do anything.

I'm the one who

brought you here.

You're here.

You know you're with family.

I talk...

but you don't listen.

I'm trying to manage

this on my own.

Okay, do what you want.

About that.

I went by the school

and spoke to the girl

that works there.

You want to get with every

girl you see, don't you?

Even the teachers.

Hey, hey, that's not it.

I didn't talk about that.

I asked her about

bringing Aseta over.

She said that with

a residence permit

and a work contract, you can

do a family reunification

and you can

bring her easily.

It's not that easy.

I don't care.

I'm not gonna end up with

some ugly village woman.

Okay?

I'm too handsome for that.

Hmm?

You're crazy.

Look at her.

She's pretty, no?

Is she pretty or not?

What about the one

with the longer hair?
