The Song of Sparrows Page #4
Who was that boy?
Hussein, come here!
What the hell are you doing here?
What's your sister up to?
I said, come here!
Come here!
Won't you come?
Wait! Where are you going?
I made a mistake!
- Karim!
- Wait a minute!
- Karim!
- Mom, please!
Don't I provide you with enough?
Do you want to disgrace me?
Answer me!
- I made a mistake!
- Karim!
- Karim!
- He has to answer me!
It's not his fault, Karim.
He wanted money for the fish.
He has no right!
I'll drop that water storage
on their heads!
Where are you going, Karim?
Narges, get out of my way.
I'm angry. I'll hit you.
Karim is really angry.
Look at the children I've raised!
Just wait! I'll deal with you later!
I'll deal with you later!
Dad, I've brought tea for you.
Thank you, my girl.
- Narges.
- Yes?
Come here.
I want to talk to you.
Hussein, help your mother.
Take this.
We'll need it for winter.
This is junk.
Don't worry about that.
I'll make it new.
- Dad! Dad!
- Karim! What's happened?
Why don't you answer, Dad?
Help!
Hussein! Karim!
Help!
Help!
Help! Karim passed out! Help!
Help me, neighbors! Help!
[Praying]
Sir, he's not dead yet.
May peace be upon the Prophet
Mohammad and his followers.
May God cure him.
May God cure him.
Good-bye.
Thank you, cousin.
Good-bye.
Good-bye. Good-bye.
Good-bye. Good-bye.
May God cure him.
- Thank you for coming.
- You're welcome.
- I will visit you again.
- Thank you.
Haniyeh, help.
Hussein, go behind.
Sit up.
Pull off his sleeve.
Dad! Dad! Mrs. Kobra found
an ostrich's egg behind her house.
It was this big.
Are you in pain?
A little.
I'll buy you a new hearing aid
when I get better.
The price isn't important.
I put a new battery in this one.
I can hear for now. I don't need one.
- You can hear properly?
- Yes.
Haniyeh.
Haniyeh, over here.
Haniyeh.
- Yes?
- The cap is over there.
Hello. How are you?
- How are you? Hello. Hello.
- Hello, uncle.
Well done. It's all ready.
- Put these vegetables in the car.
- Okay.
Kids, come help me.
- Hello, cousin. How are you?
- Hello.
- Are you all right?
- Yes, thank you.
We have to go to the hospital
in two weeks
to take the cast off
and X-ray your leg.
I don't want to trouble you.
Don't mention it.
Keep it. You may need it.
- You put me to shame.
- Don't mention it.
- Abbas, come and open the door.
- Good-bye.
- It's very heavy.
- I'm coming.
[Speaking in regional dialect]
Karim, wake Hussein.
He has to have dinner.
Hussein, come and have your dinner.
Hussein.
Don't move your leg so much!
Hussein.
Run!
It's getting late! Hurry, Hussein!
Leave it there.
Put it up there.
Here, Mom, this is my salary
for this week.
My dear son.
Mom, they said I can work overtime
from tomorrow.
No, your dad will get worried.
If I work overtime,
I'll get 700 tomans per day.
We can earn the money for the fish.
Don't worry about the money
for the fish.
I'm sewing a few dresses.
I'll put some money aside
for your fish.
Mom, please give me
the money soon.
Mr. Kamali wants to expand
his garden and get rid of his fish.
So what?
If we don't buy the fish,
he'll sell them to someone else.
Don't worry, dear.
God is great.
Good night, my dear.
Karim, the doctor will come
in two hours.
I have to deliver some flowers,
and then I'll pick you up.
- Do you need anything?
- I'm okay.
Hussein, take care of your father.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- I'll be back soon, Dad.
- Don't go far.
- How much are two fruit juices?
- 400 tomans.
- Can't I give you 350?
- No, kid.
Then give me an orange juice.
This is for you.
- Why didn't you get one for yourself?
- I don't like it.
- Have it.
- No.
- Come on.
- I bought it for you.
I've had some orange juice.
Hello, Hussein.
How are you?
Hello, Karim.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Hurry up.
Hussein, give it to me and get in.
Hurry.
Good job.
Hold my hand so that I can get in.
- Hussein, guess what we bought.
- What?
Guess.
We bought the fish from Mr. Kamali.
He gave us three herrings as well.
Really? Where are they?
They're under the flowerpots.
When we unload it,
we'll throw the fish
in the water storage.
Three herrings and four other fish.
Each of them will give birth
to 500 other fish.
Do you know how many that'll be?
More than 1,000.
You goofed up again!
Of course it'll be more than 1,000.
Hussein, we'll be millionaires.
Why did he give you the herrings?
At first, he said he won't sell them.
But Abbas liked our work,
and they were our reward.
He's a nice man.
Thank you, Abbas.
What's this mess?
You dig a different street every day.
How will I take this load over there?
Get off. We have to unload.
They are getting on my nerves!
Pick these up and bring them over.
This is too hard.
- Quickly!
- Hurry!
- Come on.
- Hurry.
- Take this one.
- Here.
Go, go!
- Hurry up.
- Take it.
Hurry up.
There's a hole in the bucket!
Get down!
There's a hole in the bucket!
The fish are dying!
We have to bring the bucket down!
Hurry up!
The fish are dying!
Hurry up!
What's going on up there, kids?
What are you doing?
What's going on?
Why don't you answer?
Have you lost your minds?
Come down here!
- What are you doing up there?
- Let's move this.
What are you doing up there?
Have you lost your minds?
Abbas! Hurry!
Hurry!
Abbas!
Come and see what's going on!
- Come! Hurry!
- Lift it up.
Come!
Hurry up!
Abbas, come here!
What are you doing?
Why don't you answer me?
What are you doing up there?
Why don't you answer me?
Be careful! Don't spill it!
You've all lost your minds!
Why did you break the flowerpots?
The bucket has no water.
We need to fill it up.
- Where are you going?
- Hurry up! Faster!
- Hurry!
- Faster!
- Hurry!
- Run!
Get them! Get them, guys!
Don't let them get away!
Get them!
Guys, let's put the fish
in the bucket!
The bucket has burst!
Our flowers have withered
Our eyes are crying
Our flowers have withered
Our eyes are crying
I remember the past days
The good old days
The good old days
The world is a lie
The world is a lie
The world is a dream
The world is a lie
The world is a lie
The world is a lie
In this world
The sky's stick has hit my heart
This is your memory
- Let's go.
- Be careful.
- What happened, Abbas?
- Nothing. Don't worry.
- Where are you going, Hussein?
- I'll be back soon.
Be careful, Hussein.
Bring it out slowly.
I know what to do.
Hopefully, one day
it'll be Haniyeh's wedding.
Karim, tomorrow morning
I want to help Mrs. Roghiyeh
with her daughter's
henna ceremony.
The poor thing has no help.
I won't be gone for long.
Can I come?
It's no place for boys.
Please take me.
It's a ceremony for women.
You can't come.
Don't use these up.
It's all we have.
I want to draw a flower on dad's leg.
Come here, Hussein.
- Let me draw a flower.
- I'll draw one first.
Hussein, damn it.
Let me draw one as well.
