-If you move over, he can park comfortly.

-But,already there will be a space like this between my car and his car. He can park in remaining space.

-Go to hell!

Hey brother why dont you move over there? Is it your father's parking lot?

-But its already so narrow, it shouldnt be parked like this. How can I get in my car then?

Oh my God!

How precious car you have! ugh!

Oh I miss my home meals so much that...

please Bayram, try to be self-possessed and economical. Dont forget that you dont have much money..

-Welcome

-I have stomach problem now, so I cant eat much. Please bring me soup and some yoghurt.

In any case, I will be in village by evening. I can eat well there.

Before arriving to village, I should wash Balkiz very well.

-Hey staff! The star of my car is lost.

-Which star?

-Wtf "which star"? The star on the hood of car. It is not there.

-I dont have any idea if where it is.

-How comes? where is my star?

-I dont know!

-Aren't you the staff of this parking place?

-you are responsible for my star. where is my star?

-I didnt see any star. I didnt take anything!

-Its possible that you pilfered it. you were jealous of my car.

-f*** off crazy!

-Hey look! I wont give it up easily. I order you to give my star back!

-take your hnds away froom my arm. I dont care about you.

-Ofcourse you will. Where is my star?

-go to hell to look for your star.

give it to me bub! it will be bad for you if you dont give.

-lets see what will happen.

-I hit you.

-Just try and see the result, you crazy!

Star is snatched.. What a country! People dont see any star in their life. and they say " it is just normal, take it easy!". F*** this normality!

Sh*t! Just missed the gas station!

Hurry Balkiz!

it is not such a deal to overtake other cars like this.

Eww! there are donkeys in gas station. Moreover, it is not a European brand. I wont fill domestic to Balkiz.

What will i do now?also I dont have spare gas. I cant stop here.

If only, I had stopped in this gas station with donkey. you idiot Bayram!

Please help me some to push the car there. I came without any filling from Yugoslavija.

Just waited for high quality gas. Its your luck!

What a nice car! Both good for seller and buyer.

Purposely,they do it.

I restrain my passions and lived self-denial for years to afford Balkiz

I wouldnt be able to afford if I didnt go to Germany.

Even so, You made a good job, Bayram!

You went by train, now you return by Mercedes. It is miraculous.

-Good luck! I wish all of them can succeed!

-Do you also have someone in this train?

-Nope, I will go. But my departure date is two days later.

Just in case, I have come earlier. I have to keep my powder dry.

-It seems that you are not from Istanbul.

-I am from a village in Ankara.

-Will you stay in train station for 2 days?

-Sure, I can. No matter if I go to Germany at the end.

Beware! Be careful, Bayram. I do hope you wont hurt Balkiz!

-Welcome dear landowner.

-Thank you. How are you?

-Thank you,landowner. We are fine , thanks to God.

-Rustem, yours is tampering with car again.

-Bayram. Dont touch the car. Fall away there.

-Yes, kids. Go away around car..

Kezban, come here.

Was it a nightmare?

Slow down, Bayram. Slow down..Let them go.

What a chance for you! You are so lucky to overtake a Mercedes.

What does he look for? Race?

Aha! Enough! Hurry Balkiz!

Ohh! Just get off lightly.

Viva Balkiz! You proved that how Mercedes you are!.

If there was any other brand in this situation, I was dead now.

Aha! now you are here.

you dumbass!

you idiot. Dont you know what Mercedes is?

This lesson will be enough for you.

-Good afternoon. Driving licence and passport, please?

-Just a minute, policeman. Everything is alright.

-If only, you had stopped this minibus. He drives crazily.

-Can you please come with me to policecar?

-me?

-yes, you.

-All licenses are okay, commissar.

-Speed limit is 50km/h but your speed is 120 km/h.

-How comes? I didnt realize any sign.

-If you were careful, you would see.

-Sorry, commissar. Fatigue should be the reason. I am driving from Germany. Please forgive.

-You should come to police office. Your car will be driven by policeman.

-I bet that I wont do mistake again. just oversight.

-Let me go to see my uncle before he passes away.. Already, I hurry up because of this.

I dont have anyone closer than my uncle. I am orphan.

Sh*t. Tons of payoff I paid. I already dont have much money.

In village, I cant borrow any as A mercedes owner.

No race anymore, Balkiz. we dont care if they beat. they have much money.

They are not streetcleaners in Munchen roads like me.

Who knows that they live in Europe for long years. they saved much more than me.

I am newbie, yet.

What a mean commissar! why didnt he forgive?

What ashame! Anyway. Do whatever you want!

Sure enough that I am working in Germany. Can he never afford a Mercedes?

Who cares if he is policeman.

Must be crazy. Dumbass, just standing under water.

Anyway Balkiz. Time to concentrate on driving.

Holy Sh*t. they are dumbled.

Why didnt I stop?

It seems, when I didnt take her, she called Veli.

Veli is such a stupid. Why do you carry her even while you have many things in your car?

If you hadnt accepted her, you wouldnt have had accident now.

Though I annoyed Solmaz, I behaved most properly again.

Anyhow. I dont care if she gets mad at me.

Everyone work for themselves in this life.

Who cared about Bayram till now?

So, why should Bayram care about others?

We gather with other Turks in my house by this evening.

If you like, join us. It will be enjoying. Loneliness spoil when you live abroad.

-Thanks Veli. Anyone except you, doesnt ask Bayram how he is.

I have a pity on Veli. He wasnt next by car,too.

Certainly, he went to ask for help.

Who knows that how many people died once again.

If only, I checked the tyre condition in gas station. There are many accidents on the road.

- Now, we approach to Istanbul. So I will be able to come in Istanbul by Mercedes.

Kezban, this victory is ours.

Kezban, dont be in doubt about that I will forget you in Germany.

Absolutely, you will come there. Promise!

Man's Promise.

Here is the sea. Look at the sea!

Look at that, Balkiz! I give my life for its blue! hey!

-Do you want me to fill up?

-Nope, I have gas. just check tire pressure.

-Left taillight is broken, brother.

-What did you say?

-Left taillight glass. It is broken.

-Where? How did it happen?

Possibly, it happened when I stopped suddeny because of footballer.

I heard as a smash from backside.

First star, second taillight. Wtf?

-Excuse me. How can I go to autopart shops?

-Do you have Mercedes star and taillight?

-There is no star.

-We had stars in stock but now over. They are usually stolen.

There is star shortage, nowadays.

-You cant find what you look for.

-Both of them are in stock.

You shameless! I just came from its origin.

He asks tons of money for such simple things.

Anyway Balkiz, we have go to village without star and taillight.
