The Song of Sparrows Page #3

God forbid,

what if the bike breaks down?

They pay 150,000-200,000 tomans

a month everywhere.

I can make more than 600,000

with this bike.

We can even save money.

Is that so bad?

What do you want me to say?

Look, it's okay now.

Ramezan!

Where were you going?

I'm going to find someone

to replace me.

God willing, I want to go

to Afghanistan.

When are you leaving?

Tomorrow. I'll go to Mashhad

for a pilgrimage.

From there,

I'll go to Afghanistan.

- God willing, when do you get back?

- In a month.

God willing.

Come down, Ramezan.

Ramezan.

Put this money in the Imam's shrine.

Give him my regards.

Good-bye. Take care.

I don't know what's wrong.

I tried to start the engine

several times.

I left it in front of the supermarket.

The shopkeeper has the keys.

I've told him.

Pick it up from there.

Manage it somehow.

Yes. I am on a motorbike

following the truck.

Come as soon as possible.

Mrs. Hajji is there, too.

Anything else?

Good-bye.

Be careful not to lose the truck.

Don't worry.

What? Why is this still here?

What a mess!

Come here, man.

Instead of staring at me,

tidy this up.

Come here. Clean it up.

Come here. Come here.

Take these to the third floor.

Leave those.

Come on, tidy it up.

Why are you standing here?

Go to the third floor.

I'll keep an eye on your bike.

Don't break it.

Hurry up. Hurry up.

Hurry up. It's getting late.

Would you treat these the same way

if they were your things?

Put the candlesticks on the counter.

Be careful.

A bit to the right.

Don't hit the wall. Go up.

Take this as well.

I'll pay you.

Take it. I'll pay you.

Go, go.

Be careful.

Don't break it.

What's wrong?

This is no way to work.

Sir, give me my money.

I want to leave.

Put it back in the box

and bring it up.

I'm not a porter. Give me my money.

I'll bring it up and then leave.

I know. I heard you.

Put it back in the box

and bring it up.

What happened?

Did anything break?

Where shall I put this box, sir?

In that corner.

Close the door. Careful.

Don't hit anyone.

Don't sit there. Come up.

Give me my money.

I want to leave.

What's the rush?

Put that box over there.

I'll pay you soon.

Come up. Be careful.

Don't do that.

That box is fragile.

Be careful.

What have you done?

Don't worry.

I'll bring a shirt for you.

Moving is a pain.

Where are you taking that door?

You can fix it with two nails.

I promised it to somebody.

What are you doing over there?

Wait! Where are you going?

Hussein! What are you doing there?

Come out!

Hussein!

Hussein!

Hussein, where are you?

Narges!

Narges!

There's no one here.

Come out, kid.

What were the kids doing here?

Why have you made a mess?

We wanted a window pane

for the storage.

You had no right.

Didn't I say

not to go near the storage?

Why don't you listen?

Where's your mother?

Cousin Abbas was here.

Mom took one of the wooden doors

to Mrs. Kobra.

- The blue one?

- Yes.

She had no right to do so.

I didn't get it for free.

Come out and help me

bring the stuff in.

Hello.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Hello, Mr. Karim.

It's a pleasure to see you.

Come in. Tea is ready.

Thank you.

Mrs. Kobra, this door is promised

to someone else.

Narges brought it by mistake.

I'll take it.

Hopefully, when I find

an appropriate door,

I'll bring it for you.

Excuse me. Bye.

Mr. Karim, you could have stayed

for a glass of Sharbat.

Narges.

Narges.

You're crying again.

Why don't you believe me?

I promised that door to someone.

I'll bring her a better one.

We have to consider our situation.

If we start giving things

to whoever comes to our door,

we'll be left with nothing.

I shouldn't have to tell you this.

I've given doors and windows

to many people.

Did you know that? No.

I'm thinking about Haniyeh's

hearing aid.

I asked someone to find one for her.

I was with him today.

I want to buy a good one.

I work all day long for you guys.

Please don't cry.

Smile.

Smile.

It's dark and the moon can be seen

Narges, come here

This boy is faithful to you

Narges, come here

Don't be sad

I love you

I love you so much

Narges, come and see what I'm doing

You gave me too much change.

Are you in a daze?

Hey, Mr. Clever.

Wait your turn.

I was here before you.

You didn't see me.

I don't know about that.

I don't think so.

Get behind him.

Have you signed?

- Yes.

- Go.

Give me your ID card.

Here you go.

- What is this? This is a copy.

- That's all I have.

- This is a copy.

- That's all I have.

I need the original.

Don't waste my time.

Take it off.

Please let me take it.

Take it down.

It's a copy.

Take it down.

What's going on here?

He gave me a copy.

Why did you give him a copy?

- It's all I have.

- You can't work like this.

- Okay, no problem.

- Mohsen, look out for him.

Sign this. Here.

Thank you.

Pull it. Pull it tight.

It could come undone on the way.

Easy. You're choking me.

Move! Can't you see

everyone is gone? Drive faster!

Wait!

My bike broke down! Stop!

My bike broke down!

Stop!

Wait!

Help me take this off.

My back is aching.

Look at the writing.

It's so cool.

You bought a fridge?

Can't you see it's a fridge?

Help me untie it.

My back is aching.

Dad, why didn't you buy a TV set?

- I'll buy one, my dear.

- Is it a foreign brand?

I don't know.

Haniyeh, get me the knife.

What color is it?

I haven't opened it.

Bring a glass of water for me.

Bend over.

We don't need a fridge!

I'm holding it for someone.

I'm giving it to him tomorrow.

Look! It has a place for ice cream.

Bring it.

Stop.

Hello. How are you?

Is it for sale?

What's the color?

It's an old model.

I'll pay you 50,000 tomans.

I have to make a profit, too.

Essi, come and get this.

Hey! Wait!

All right. Okay.

Where are you now?

Go straight ahead.

You'll see a sign

for "Behzadi Street."

I'll be waiting in front of the shop.

Sir, do you want to buy a fridge?

Hold on.

No, I don't need it.

The price is good.

Why don't you understand?

I'm selling it cheap.

I don't need it.

They're delivering my own load.

Move!

Why are you staring at me?

And 4,000 tomans for the fare.

Good job. This shows

you're a good person.

Take your money.

You don't know how relieved I am.

This is the shop's card.

You can start tomorrow.

There's lots of work.

It will be good for you.

Thank you.

Read off the shipment.

Have your tea.

It'll get cold.

The stuff from Dubai or Turkey?

Dubai.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Newspapers! Newspapers!

Sir, would you like to buy one?

Sir!

Ma'am, newspaper?

Sir, please buy one.

Please buy one.

Balloons! Balloons!

Come here, my girl.

Do you have change

for 500 tomans?

Do you have change

for 500 tomans?

Do you have change

for 500 tomans?

Beat it!

Do you have change

for 500 tomans?

Do you have change for...?

What's wrong? I'm going!

Flowers!

What are you doing here?

What the hell are you doing here?

What are these?

You want to sell them on my grave?
