Somersault in a Coffin Page #2

a gift of fifty peacocks to our..

president, Sleyman Demirel.

They'll contribute a unique..

flavour to the historically

impressive atmosphere of the..

Rumeli Hisari Fortress as of this

week. The peacocks are..

now await you to visit them

at the Rumeli Hisari.

We strongly suggest you to visit the

Rumeli Hisari Fortress.

Because here, you will be enjoying

history alongwith..

the magnificent view

of the Bosphorus.

How was it?

-We're going to start with the..

history. A bit faster!

-All right. I said historically..

instead of historic.

-That's OK. Apart from the..

tempo it's all fine.

-My hair got wet.

Forget it.

-We'll miss the day light.

Let's shoot the rest

in the fortress.

Come on brother.

Nothing to see.

''Modern life makes

us all alike.'', that part?

Yes! Come on everybody! Before the

sun sets.

Where are you going, buddy?

-Into the fortress.

It's forbidden!

-What?

It is forbidden.

I'll look at the animals.

-You have to buy a ticket.

I know the fortress.

I will look at the birds.

It's forbidden to enter the fortress

without a ticket.

But we used to enter this place.

-It's forbidden now.

It wasn't before.

-Past is past.

As you will remember,

the peacocks that will..

accommodate the fortress from now on

were received as a..

gift by our president

during his visit to Iran.

Gentlemen!

We're closing.

We are watching it.

-They were just about to show..

us the fortress.

-Turn it on, come on!

It's late. We will

sweep the floor.

Watch it at home.

I'm sick of it. It's

always the same.

What did you have?

-Four cups of tea.

Here, this is your change.

Why are you waiting?

Are you going to pay or what?

-Next week.

Next week? Which next week?

-Next week.

How many cups of

tea have you had?

Five? No, six.

-It's been this way for months.

Reis will pay my debts.

-Reis will pay your debts?

You piece of scum.

It's written here, you owe

me six hundred cups.

Will Reis pay for your

six hundred cups?

Reis told me to tell you this.

-Go now! Tomorrow, or..

latest next day, pay your debt.

Or you can't come here again.

You will be wandering

in the street like a stray dog.

Which coffee house would allow a

customer to have..

six hundred cups of tea for free?

Tell me, which one?

A hot dog, and a

pack of cigarettes.

I want mustard and sauce too.

-We're out of mustard.

Is the soccer game over?

-Yes!

What's the score?

-2 to 1.

Look!

Oh boy!

No smoking

here, please.

You have to take this

three times a day. One in the..

morning, one at noon,

and one in the evening.

I'm drawing three lines

here so that you understand.

Don't take too much or you'll be high.

You know Avarel.

He hangs out in Bebek.

He's always with a dwarf.

He has a thin moustache

and a big nose...

He stutters.

-Yes! He stammers.

What about Avarel?

-He took this and he thought..

he was a blank note-book,

with a man's head.

Was he a legal pad

or a plain one?

Give me that.

-Beat it! You shark!

I have no business with pills,

I'll look and give it back.

Ask Mahsun.

-Mahsun, don't give.

Don't let him.

-Will you give?

My boy.

Of course he won't.

This is for the six hundred

cups of tea Mahsun drank.

You know me. I get furious all of a

sudden, but I forget it soon.

I kicked him out of here

a few days ago. He was beaten by..

the police that night. But he

invites the trouble himself.

Do him a favour. He could

clean the windows or..

sweep the floor. He can

sleep in a corner at night.

Do him a favour, man!

-He can come and stay here..

until the coffee house is closed.

He can even have free tea.

But I cant't let that

bum work here!

Come on Zeki! All he needs

is a bowl of soup and shelter.

If somebody will work for me,

someone else whom I trust..

should go bail for him.

Does that sound sensible?

There are men to bail for

and there are men for whom you..

simply don't. Sorry.

Did I spill it on you?

It's OK.

-Leave it that way. Listen.

Let's get him jailed, then

he can stay there until April..

and he can find food for free.

-None of the prisons admit him.

What does that mean?

-Last time he robbed the prison.

No sh*t! I don't believe that!

-It's true.

I won't hire him, man.

Did he steal the transportation..

car for the prisoners?

-Worse than that.

Malik! Where

are you, son?

I was looking for cotton wool.

It must be somewhere here.

Mahsun will stay here.

-How're you doing, brother?

Help him settle.

I'm in the room.

The flush doesn't work.

-Zeki will find a plumber.

You got it so soon.

I'll get the cologne.

Ogn passes the ball

into the penalty area.

Ericson tackles him. The national squad

constantly..

attacks the Swedish side.

Now it's Oguz.

Oguz passed the ball to Osman.

Osman dribbles.

He's in the penalty area.

Passes the ball back to Oguz.

Oguz is likely to

score. He shoots.

And he did

it. Goal!

He did it!

We're 1-0 ahead.

Tonight is our night, this is

the Turks' glorious night...

Off to the streets.

Turkey! Turkey!

Europe, Europe, listen to

the footsteps of the Turks.

Turkey!

Are you doing the

laundry at this hour?

Don't you have eau de cologne?

-No!

Why don't you get some, son?

-We'll get it tomorrow, ma'm.

You handle money alright,

why don't you buy some cologne?

Do buy some.

-Thank you.

No need for that.

-Miss!

This is yours!

-Mine?

You forgot this

yesterday.

I was thinking..

-Will you be here from now on?

Yes.

You work at the coffee house.

-I'm in charge of the restrooms.

Did they give you a bed?

-Yes.

Upstairs?

-Yes!

So you don't sleep

in boats anymore.

Wouldn't you get bribes

if you were in power?

I would. But not billions.

-So you accept it.

No, I don't. There is an extent

to which one should..

accept bribes.

-There is no such extent.

Power corrupts.

-You're bullshitting!

You talk as if you have

been a prime minister.

Come on, talk! We

were just chatting.

I was thinking about buying booze and

going to Sari's grave.

If we could go together.

All of his friends.

I got raki, nuts.

And wine.

It's cold, but I thought it

would be good if we go.

Cologne?

No! Well, maybe.

In fact I was going to..

-What?

.. ask you for a favour.

-What?

I was going to ask if you could write

'men' and 'women' on..

the doors of the bathrooms. It's a bit

confusing like this.

Find a pen! I will.

-A pen?

Look.

Do you have cotton wool here?

-Cotton wool?

Very little would do.

-I'll ask if there is any.

A pen and cotton wool!

I'm coming.

Is there any cotton wool?

-What are you talking about?

They need it downstairs.

-No cotton wool here. Ask Zeki.

Cotton wool.

Will you be here permanently

from now on?

I will.

-Do you make the tea too?

I'm in charge of here.

-Did they give you a bed?

Yes!

-That's good.

Well, not bad.

-I sometimes envy.

I'm in a worse

situation than you are.

What do you mean?

-You have a room!

Don't you have

anywhere to sleep?

I do and I don't. I stay

at my friend's place.
