Vizontele Page #2

Good night!

Where'd you get this?

Do we have to answer

for everything we do?

So you stole it, then?

ls the Mayor's family

a pack of thieves?

lf l stole it was for the child.

l'll be the laughing stock

of the town!

Those you look down on

are people of honor.

Go home! The film's over!

l'm leaving,

but only to return one day.

How's it going, lso, Veysi?

Good night.

You electrocuted me!

What's 'n your hand?

Teasing me'll get you

the shock of your life.

All that kissing

and stuff is phony.

Watch what l'm

gonna do to Crazy Emin.

Crazy Emin!

Cut it out, you bastard!

Maniac!

So your boy's in the army.

lt's no big deal.

He's so young. l wish it'd been

Ahmet, not Rifat. He's so helpless.

l wish they'd take Ahmet forever.

l wish l didn't have a son like him.

Rifat was my father's favorite.

He said Rifat would grow up to be

a village head like him.

He said ''Just like me.''

Nazmi, is Ankara so very far?

Why do you put this flowerpot here?

lt's right in the middle of the road.

Of course l'll bump into it.

ls there another way in?

Stop! l heard something.

Never mind. We're busy.

Slow down. Wait for me!

Cool!

Why do stars shoot?

l asked that once. lt's so crowded

up there that some fall to earth.

Who'd you ask?

A friend.

Why're you farting, you pansy!

We're outside.

What's the big deal?

lt stinks just as much.

Don't cry my boy.

So are you little pests

sleeping up on the roof?

What's so funny?

Don't cry, honey.

Gule! Nafiz!

Go tell your father

to get the bonesetter.

-The poor thing broke his foot.

-OK, mom.

Don't forget to

put on your underwear.

How did you know?

Come on. Get going.

What's all the racket about?

-Ylmaz broke his foot.

-Which Ylmaz?

Remember your son?!

What an idiot!

Get out of my way.

You'd think l broke his foot.

Get up, Gule

and make me breakfast!

Esteemed citizens...

...a surfeit of sand in the

municipal mains...

..may lead to certain unavoidable

obstruction of services.

Thank you for your

restraint and patience.

What's he talking about?

Water isn't running because the pipes

are filled with sand.

What would life be without

your entertaining announcements.

What a great mayor we have.

Water running through the streets...

...but not through the pipes.

What a great job!

lt's not the Mayor's fault.

lt's that bastard contractor.

Watch your mouth!

Fikri's my cousin.

Well, l'm related to the Mayor.

Did l call the Mayor a bastard?

You can't, because he isn't one.

And is Fikri a bastard?

lf he weren't your cousin, he'd be

the biggest bastard around.

Now you're talking.

What's so funny?

Fikri, you haven't done any work.

How can you ask for money?

We all know that contractors

occasionally get down to work.

You don't like the work

but you like the money.

You and your team grab all contracts,

but do nothing.

Mr. Mayor, those words

of yours sure sting.

Can words sting an ox!

What are insults to oxen?

Why couldn't you

lay a pipe in five years?

We never get advances in time.

You waste them carousing around

with women.

lf l've spent so much as a penny

on a woman, l'm no man.

We all know you're no man.

Mayor, you're addressing the

grandson of Village Head Bedri!

Bedri was a muledriver.

So you can't love animals

and be village head?

The late, great lover of mules.

You're wasting my time. Get out!

At least give me my advance.

Fikri!

Don't expect any work

to get done then.

Do you expect my team

to work for free?

Get the money back from your

women and give it to the men, then.

What's this obsession with women?

Have you been paid, Mr. Fikri?

Fat chance! When l campaign

for him, we get along.

When it comes to money, he

starts squirming.

When he needs me it's all praises

for my grandfather,...

...for his wonderful mules.

l need money, not flattery!

Give me a cigarette, Sezgin.

l don't have any.

Come on.

Let's see. Ah!

l thought l'd thrown that pack away.

Must have noticed that only...

one or two were left and made

plans to toss it.

That's how l forgot all about it.

lf l had tossed it,

l'd have forgotten it by now.

You'll have to wait for your kickback,

my friend Sezgin. See you.

Sezgin.

Yes, sir.

You're losing your hair.

lt's just my high forehead.

Mr. Good-looking, huh?

Mind your own business.

-ls my dad in?

-Yeah.

Anyone with him?

Nope.

Sezgin.

What?

Never mind.

Come on, you looked at my head!

You're thinning a bit on top.

Get lost.

Dad, Ylmaz fell off the roof.

What's so funny about that?

Nothing. l was just kidding around

with Sezgin, that's why.

How's Ylmaz?

Mom said he broke his foot.

She wants you

to get the bonesetter.

Okay, you can go.

lf you have an errand for me...

l wouldn't waste one on you.

When do you start work?

Next month, God willing.

God willing.

Mr. Basri, the town administrator,

is here to see you.

-Send him in.

-Yes, sir.

Sezgin, have you heard about

some new shampoo?

No, sir. What is it like?

You rub it on your ass and the hair

there comes out on your head.

Bit wiry, though.

Our Mayor's such a wit.

Welcome, Basri.

Nothing welcome about it.

We're in big trouble!

What happened?

When there's some state job to get

done, they pin it on me.

The governor asked me to oversee

things personally.

Sorry to hear that, Basri.

Anyway, let's have some tea.

l'm sorry too. But for you.

The Governor was so pleased to

hear you'd take charge of it.

Where did he hear that?

l told him.

Great. What is it exactly?

Receiving a delegation

from Ankara.

What delegation?

They're bringing

a vizontele transmitter.

A what?

You know. lt's in all the papers.

So we're finally getting one too?

l knew you'd be thrilled about it.

Good!

Mr. Mayor, what exactly is it?

You know, we've all heard about it.

Radio with pictures.

l'll give you all the help

my official capacity allows me.

What help? lt's your job!

Certainly! Assisting you is my duty!

Goodbye.

Radio with pictures.

Movies in every home.

lt will be the end of Latif.

Attention!

Anyone selling goods on public

property will be in big trouble!

And don't say l didn't warn you first!

Don't cry honey.

lt's dislocated, not broken.

So, he's all right?

Sure. lf he's careful today,

he'll be on his feet tomorrow.

Bless you. Let's bind it.

Many thanks, Saban.

What a great pair of glasses!

They were my father's.

Now they're mine.

-Will your kids wear them after you?

-God willing.

Goodbye.

l caught it! l caught it!

Well, l sliced up the bread!

Musto, Aykut! Let it go!

Let what go?

The bird, of course.

Think l'm an idiot?

Come weed the garden.

What's wrong, Sddk?

lt's my tooth, Mr. Mayor. l'll have

it pulled next month, God willing.

Come here. l'll wash you down.

ls what l heard true?

What did you hear?

Spit it out slowly.

That you're taking a second wife.

Who told you that?

That's not important.

ls it true?

lt's just to help you

with housework.

Help? There's something else
