Turtles Can Fly Page #3

I even know how much they get for it.

Even their dogs make 50 times more

than our children do!

And they give them

a can of food to eat as well!

You can help our kids as a Kurd.

Are you kidding me?

I don't care if you sell or not.

Go and sell them to the Mr. yourself.

Give me a higher price, OK!

OK! I'll try. Now go!

"Thank you very much Mr.!!"

Come down! Come down!

OK! OK! I arranged everything.

It was hard work fixing things up.

What would you do without me?!

These people have come

after the children.

- Where are they?

- They're waiting.

Hey, Satellite! What about our lands?

We've been waiting since morning.

Wait a minute!

I talked to him until he agreed.

Go back to your homes now!

Get your mines!

Then go to the Mr. with Pashow,

the guy who has a pony-tail!

When you get there, give him

the mines and get your money.

What about my land?

How many children do you want?

Send them all! It's ten days

since the last mine collection.

OK! OK!

You and you!

Me?

Take care of yourselves!

Half of them don't have hands!

So what? They are not afraid of mines.

They are our best.

- How many do you want Karim?

- 50.

I'll send you 5.

You, you, you...

Satellite! The girl from Halabcheh!

Pashow, look after the children!

I'll be back soon.

Out of the way!

My cap! My cap!

Thank you!

I'm at your service.

Agrin today is a strange day for me.

How do you know my name?

That is beside the point.

Anyhow, today is important.

Why?

Why? Do you see this bike?

This is the first time I am carrying

water on it. And it's just for you.

All the villages around here

take their brides home on this bike.

I'll take it myself.

Don't say that! I am at your service.

Any news of your brother?

Does he have any predictions for us?

No!

Nothing at all?

- My brother doesn't do it anymore.

- Why?

He made predictions twice

and it brought us bad luck twice.

What happened?

Don't you want to tell me?

- Give it to me! I'll take it.

- I am at your service. Please!

- Is this a spring as well?

- Yes!

- Why don't they take water from here?

- I'm the only one who does.

Why?

The villagers say the water is impure.

Why?

Last year, three children came here

to look for red fish

and never came up.

I think they drowned.

I swear I dived to the bottom.

I saw many fish,

but no children.

- Is it very deep?

- Yes.

Are there red fish in it?

Yes, I saw them myself.

- Did you really see them?

- Don't you believe me?

- Can you go to the bottom?

- Yes, I'll do it now.

If I ask you something

will you get upset?

No!

As you're from Halabcheh,

do you know someone like yourself

who doesn't have anyone

in this world, like you or I?

It's okay if she has two brothers!

Have you lost anyone?

No, I haven't lost anyone.

I have another point.

I have been looking for a girl

like you, for years.

Where are you going?

Didn't you want me to catch you fish?

I'll go now. Look!

Wait! Wait!

I'll catch red fish for you!

Are you awake?

I know why you can't sleep.

When are we leaving here?

Don't you want to tell me?

Put the child in the middle

maybe we can sleep.

You won't be able to sleep

unless you learn to like the child.

How many times do I have to tell you

he's not my child.

Don't say it isn't!

You say such things...

The rope around his foot

opens mysteriously

and he walks in his sleep.

Hengov, I have a toothache.

Are you still in pain? Is it bad?

Yes, it is painful.

Put some kerosene on it!

Don't pull my hair!

I said let go of my hair.

Hey, why are you hitting the child?

Agrin, where did you take him?

I don't know.

How come?

Why is his nose bleeding?

I don't know. I can't take care of

a bastard all night long!

What was that?

You said bastard again?

If he is not a bastard,

then what is he?

Isn't he the child of those who killed

our family and did this to me?

Now he's my child?

Come into my arms!

Don't cry! Don't cry!

Cover him! Put the blanket on him!

- Where are you taking him?

- None of your business!

Wait! Wait!

Where is this boy going?

Come down! It is a good opportunity

to help him.

What about me?

Wait here until I come back!

Agrin!

Enough.

Leave her alone!

Where are you going

in such a hurry?

The boy has made

an important prediction.

Out of the way.

Hello!

Attention! Attention!

Important notice

for the villagers of "Kanibo"!

For the refugees who live around here.

Everyone must climb the hill!

The war will begin in a few hours.

The war between

Iraq and America will start.

Are you serious?

Yes! There will be war.

Save yourselves!

They didn't say anything

on the news.

The satellite

will announce it now!

Climb the hill!

Stand as still as trees!

What are you doing here?

Why aren't you on the hill?

Like the others?

I want to put my turtles in the water.

I hope this prediction is not a lie.

All the people are on the hill.

If you've lied, I'll lose face.

I told them it was true

and the war's about to start.

I said the USA planes are coming.

I lied that I had heard the news

on the satellite this morning.

I hope it is not a joke.

I hear something.

I swear I do.

- It's the sound of it!

- What noise?

The noise of American passports!

Where are you?

Only this much left to America!

Let's go!

Over here it's written:

"It's the end of injustice,

misfortune and hardship."

"We are your best friends

and brothers."

"Those against us are our enemies."

"We will make this country a

paradise."

"We are here to take away

your sorrows."

"We are the best in the world."

We can only rent two weapons

for three months with these mines.

Get the hill behind the school

and Rahman's roof ready.

OK! Go and get them!

It's a bad situation!

Come on kids!

- Hello!

- Hello! Welcome!

- How are you Abdol Salam?

- Welcome Satellite! Long time no see!

I've come to take two weapons

for "Kanibo". The Russian PKC type!

They are expensive.

The price has gone up.

They're 3500, 3600 Dinars.

I don't want to buy it;

I want to rent it for three months.

For rent? For three months

it'll be 600, 650 Dinars.

I've got 500, 600 Dinars

worth of mines.

OK!

Put them over there!

Come here! Turn around!

I picked these mines myself.

- Do you have any small masks?

- I'll bring some soon.

These are American mines. First class.

Give him the weapons!

These are good weapons.

Don't ruin them!

Pashow put these in the bag!

These bullets aren't enough.

I'll give you more

when you need some.

How much is this necklace?

It's "International"!

Satellite,

what does "International" mean?

This is no time for questions.

Go!

Goodbye till next time!

I'm fed up. When will we leave?

We will leave soon.

Be patient!

I can't stand anymore.

What are we doing here?

Why aren't we leaving?

I had a dream.

We'll go in two or three days,

when the child is cured.

We'll go together.

We won't leave together.

If you're trying to cure the child,

I won't come.

If you don't come, I'll go alone.
