that needs help working...

What do you mean by that?

Damn! There goes another.

You'll ruin me!

Answer me, melon man.

l would, but they won't let me.

Take this melon home.

We'll talk it over tonight.

There's no need for that.

l got my answer!

-Look at that. A perfect melon, too.

-Don't worry. We'll eat it.

Back to work, greedy bastards.

l want it finished by 7:00 this

evening or there'll be...

-...a big crowd at the entrance.

-Finish it by the evening.

Dad, what about my, you know?

l'll take care of it son.

Get in the truck.

Get lost!

''The Gangsters'' is showing tonight!

''The Gangsters'' tonight

at the Lale Cinema.

Turn it down a bit.

So, weeding, are you?

Yeah. Pulling up the bad plants

so the good ones can flourish.

Don't you have any

in your yard?

No.

Right. Yours are in the house.

Some weeds are tough to pull up.

They have deep roots.

So, we pull them out, roots and all.

-l heard something, is it true?

-lf you heard it, it must be false.

l heard vizontele is coming.

Oh, that.

Aren't you happy about it?

No problem. Just checking.

Do you even know what it is?

Sure. l saw one once in lstanbul.

Nothing like the cinema, huh.

Don't get too close.

We don't want any

weeds in our garden.

Let's go, Veli. We'll have a crowd

for the Ylmaz Gney movie tonight.

And keep an eye out for

the rooftop freeloaders.

Nothing like the cinema, huh?

lf he's so worried, this

vizontele must be a good thing.

Stop it. Your mother'll see us.

No, she won't.

Nafiz!

Coming mom.

-What is it?

-Make a phone call for me.

There's no point. They won't

be able to connect us.

Calling Ankara isn't so easy.

Go on. Just do it.

Hello, switchboard.

Hi, Salih. This is Nafiz.

The mayor's son.

You were going to connect us

to Ankara. What happened?

Hello!

We can't even get through to

the operator, let alone Ankara.

Salih! Haven't we helped you over

the years? Connect me to my Rfat!

Dammit!

lt's not Salih's fault.

Hello, Salih. Rifat.

Hello!

lt would be great with pictures.

-Would you like some fruit?

-What's with the fruit?

What are you shouting about?

Just offering.

Don't! l'm pissed off enough as it is.

On the road to nowhere,

heel broken, nails broken.

Hair messed up for 300 km. now!

Did l assign you?

Am l the general director?

lf you're not,

why are you hitting on me?

Hitting on you? Me?

lsn't he after me, Cevat?

Not exactly.

Maybe over interested is all.

Over interested?

Come on, you're overdoing

it a bit with the broad.

Broad? That's it!

Shut up and turn that off.

l swear l'm about to kill myself.

What kind of an assignment

is this for a lady?

That Bnyamin bastard

is responsible for all this.

l'm not about to sleep with just

any old deputy director.

We already spent 4 extra days

because the truck broke down.

By the way, l'm not staying an extra

second in this godforsaken town!

Aren't we going to set it up?

No way! Give them directions

and let them do it themselves.

Being exploited in a place like this!

Pull over. At least let me

have some water.

-What do you mean by ''at least''?

-l mean, God give me patience.

-Cheers.

-Same to you!

-We wanted some water.

-You're in the right place.

A fountain is the place for water.

ls it far to the town center?

Why are you asking? We don't

get many questions like that.

We're from Ankara.

We brought a television transmitter.

Ah? What transmitter?

Here sir. We've got something

better than water.

Not this early in the day.

We can pretend it's evening.

Tekin. What's the hold up?

Pass me that raki, brother.

That woman is such a b*tch.

l'm about to kill her.

The guy she mentioned. Bunyamin.

The deputy director.

His wife caught them in bed. Now

she says he's under her control.

More like she's under him

all the time.

l sure feel better now.

Goodbye.

Some drinker.

He is. lsn't he?

Attention!

The delegation expected to

arive from Ankara today...

...is bringing us a

vizontele transmitter.

What's keeping them, Mr. Mayor?

They'll be here any minute, brother.

You should have made a speech.

What are you talking about?

Of course you don't have to.

You can't make a speech

every time a crowd gathers.

You'd have to speak every time

three people got together.

Like you've nothing better to do.

-Bring the microphone.

-Yes, sir.

This is a great day

in our town's history.

Why? Are we driving out

the enemy or something?

A very important delegation from...

...Ankara is bringing us a vizontele,

an example of the latest technology!

-What's coming?

-Vizontele.

-What's that?

-l think l saw one in Ankara.

-What does it do?

-l don't remember.

l was drunk. My eyes were

on the babe next to me.

-Sure. l believe you.

-l swear it's true! She was a singer!

What's this machine Mr. Mayor?

lt's like radio with pictures.

What do you mean?

Zeki Mren sings on the radio. Right?

Right.

With this, you can hear him and

see him at the same time!

Will he see us?

l don't know about that.

What about if you're wearing

your underwear?

You wouldn't want

the great Mr. Mren to see that.

And what if the prime minister

appears on the news?

Will we have to sit around

the house wearing ties?

Don't be ridiculous.

Can actors see you at the cinema?

Can't they?

No. This will be like having a cinema

in your own home. But no tickets.

There they are.

Welcome to our town.

l'm the Mayor, Nazmi Doan.

Go on. Get the sacrificial lamb.

There is no need for that.

Why? Don't you eat meat?

We can't stay long Mayor. We're

returning to Ankara immediately.

Now, if those gentlemen

could just unload the device...

Gentlemen! The device...

At least come up and

have a drink before dinner.

Thank you sir,

but we'll be on our way.

There's no getting out of here

so quickly.

lt takes at least a year to get

the right contacts...

...for re-assignment to Ankara.

What do you mean by that?

Just kidding, nothing personal.

Not my idea of a joke.

l got a bit carried away.

Tekin, cut the yakking!

What yakking?

She's such a maniac.

She may tired, not a maniac.

Would she care for a drink?

Upper Ayranc?

What?

l know Ankara very well.

Are you from Upper Ayranc?

No.

So it is Lower Ayranc?

No!

That place with a park, then?

No!

My name is Fikri.

Must be all the travelling l guess.

What were you talking to her for?

Me? She talked to me first.

Gave me her address in Ankara,

so l could visit her.

Let me just jot it down.

This is how you hook it up.

Understand?

Put the transmitter up

on a high hilltop.

When you get a picture,

set it there. Good luck.

Hey, wait a minute. What? How?

Move over a bit lsmihal.

So l'll be sitting on the driver's lap?

You'd think she never

sat on a lap.

-What was that?

-Nothing. Just a joke.

Don't blow this way.

But you're smoking too.

l want my own smoke, not yours.

-This is all your fault.

-What can l do. lt's the state's job.

We'll find a way out of this.

What do we know about this

vizontele thing? They just dumped it.
