Yes, sir. Unfortunately we

got divorced.

Don't unfortunate me. The court has

decided that because...

...you didn't fulfill your duty

as husband within 365 days...

Don't talk about my manhood.

This got nothing to do with it.

Answer my questions.

Sorry.

...you should be divorced from

Nazan Durak...

...with the 28.06.97 dated decision of

Kadiky 2. Court.

Yes sir. We got divorced,

unfortunately.

Do you know Selami Korkmaz?

Unfortunately yes.

Cut that unfortunately crap. Nazan

Korkmaz wants to get a divorce...

...from Selami Korkmaz,

due to the same reason.

I got nothing to say to that.

I've shown the court at that time

and I can proudly show again...

...my manhood is proven

by doctor's reports.

Excuse me. He is misleading.

I want to show you while the

press is here.

What do say to this?

We have a doctor report stating

that Nazan Korkmaz is virgin.

That's impossible!

They pulled a trick on us.

Two strong men. Let's say

I couldn't do her. He couldn't too?

Objection. My client is virgin.

This is the report.

You can look if you want.

Let's not indulge in our

complexes. Let's be objective.

Sit down! Don't talk

without given permission.

You're not in a coffeehouse.

Cavit.

Yes your honor?

What do you say to that? You both

don't let anyone talk about...

...your manhood, yet there is official

report stating that Nazan Korkmaz's...

...hymen is intact. How could that be?

Unfortunately it happens.

There's something wrong there.

Selami, Nazan and me are

from the same neighborhood.

Our parents know each other.

We were together in

primary school and middle school.

Nazan was at that time my girl.

What made you think

I was your girl?

No, she was my girl.

They can't talk about my client

like that.

I want to draw the attention

of the valuable press members.

She's under a heavy psychological

pressure.

She was my girl.

Everybody knows it.

Selami had a hung of her too

but he wasn't serious.

Everyone in the hood knew

we were going too marry.

Selami was showing interest in

her to piss me off.

After I came back from the army

we went to ask for her hand.

Well done my girl.

Thanks my child.

Slow down, you'll burn your mouth.

Let it. This coffee should be

drunk while it's hot.

It's delicious. Well, who made it?

Yes, how shall we do it Necla?

Let's wait until next week for

the engagement. You're no stranger.

Thanks.

What shall I say...

She has another suitor.

Again that guy?

Well, if it's in her destiny...

Aunt Necla, do we know

that suitor?

No, you don't. He's not from around.

Let's make a decision. The kids

like each other and are in love.

So it is but, it would be very nice

if the groom had his own job.

My shop is his.

He knows about fishery.

Yes but it's not very pleasing

to say the groom is a fisher.

What's there to it

as long as you work honorable?

Let me tell you in first place,

I won't let my only child leave.

They're going to live here with me.

Thank god we have

a big house.

What do you say?

All right. It doesn't matter for me.

Let's go then.

Come son.

Why dad, we were sitting.

See you next week.

Hope so. If nothing happens.

If fortune wills.

I'm her fortune mom.

Good-bye.

Get inside. Don't look so stupid.

Wash the cups.

Hi Cavit, how are you?

Fine, and you?

Where are you going Safiye?

What's up?

Something good. For Selami.

So?

We're going to ask for Nazan.

I decided to marry.

It's hard being single. Each night

with another babe.. I'm bored.

So you are that suitor?

Go and ask! You'll get her.

We'll see who will get what.

Is that bum also seeking for her

hand? Why didn't you tell me?

From now on I'll shoot anyone

who'll look at Nazan.

For your information,

we'll get married soon.

They agreed to give her to me. My

mother-in-law is a precious woman.

She said ''I will give you my

daughter my eyes closed.''

Bravo.

Yes. She's a very decent woman.

She told me to prepare

my suit.

Why is Cavit so certain?

He'll get nothing. You think my

mother-in law gives her to a fisher?

Who's Cavit anyway?

She said ''Let's wait till

next week Selami.

I happened to promise them.''

So it's a deal?

It's done. We're getting engaged

next week.

''The prime minister said the mafia

is finished and added...

... ''I don't want anything

for myself.''

Cavit will get furious.

Let him!

Selami, your

would-be-wife is at the window.

Saffet. One bread, one kilo

sugar, six eggs.

Hurry up Ziver.

Bring her six bread, 10 kilos sugar

and 40 eggs.

Don't take any money.

I'll pay Saffet later.

Oh babe.

Thanks very much.

You're welcome.

Tell him I'm grateful.

You bum!

So you were spying on us?

Yes she sent me a kiss.

How is that Cavit? Selami says

''They gave the girl to me.''

He's lying. Friday you'll see

who gets the girl.

Is her mother pulling

something off?

Don't talk like that about my

mother-in-law.

My mother-in-law doesn't

pull anything off.

Alright, I got it.

You're not good to talk to.

Give me my fish.

I got things to do.

Here.

You're going to have a wedding?

He'll want. He's our only son.

-Don't you have things to do?

-All right, I'm going.

Bon apetit.

This is from the side.

Very soft.

You can drink a big bottle of

raki and won't even feel it.

You got the necklace?

Don't take it out.

My father shouldn't see it.

Don't give that to the girl.

It's expensive.

-Did you exchange the Marks?

-Yes I did.

Well, it's up to you.

Why?

Selami has finished everything.

I saw it with my own eyes.

She sent him kisses and

he sent stuff to their house.

What are you talking about?

I swear it's true.

You're my friend.

Would I ever lie to you?

Forget that girl.

Dad, look what he says!

Is Selami not here?

He went to buy a wedding suit.

-Why were you looking for him?

-I'm going to kill him.

Fine.

What?

-You're going to kill him?!

-Yes. Bring us two tea.

I rented the wedding hall.

It's going to be a fabulous wedding.

Just to make that nerd furious I'll

have a band play at Nazan's door.

My mother-in-law couldn't wait until

Friday. She made up her mind.

I have a wedding dress for my

Nazan. I sent tailor Mualla to her.

Man chopped friend who

wed his beloved to pieces

I'm going to chop you too.

Is my Nazan gone?

Nothing's gone. Don't upset yourself.

We'll talk on Friday.

That son of a b*tch has already

made a wedding dress for her.

Dad. She'll be mine!

I've heard. Don't bray.

I said we'll talk on Friday.

Then, your honor, my parents

went there to talk on Friday.

Nazan's mother decided I'd be a

decent husband and gave her to me.

Selami had a heart attack.

We got the girl.

Is it true?

I couldn't wait either.

I fainted of joy.

We started the preparations

right away. Selami was so jealous.

Marriage is so hard. We make

a dress, her mother doesn't like it.

I get a suit

my father hates it.

We make a wedding party,

the guests don't like it.

Cut it short!

Tell us about your marriage.

In addition, her novel, Safer than Houses was nominated for the Duncan Lawrie Dagger in 2006.
