Vizontele Page #5

the mayor. Just shut it down.

l can't. lt'd be like

punishing the people.

lf we can set up this

vizontele tomorrow...

...he'll get what he deserves.

Exactly! Who needs moviehouses

if we have vizontele!

We'll have a ceremony.

Put on something decent.

-So, isn't this all right?

-No! Haven't you got a jacket?

Not with long sleeves.

l'll get you one then.

No, thanks teacher.

l'll get one myself.

What's up Yasar?

Nothing.

How can nothing be up?

ls there such a thing as nothing?

ls Fikri around?

Nope.

Fine. l saw him

on my way here anyway.

We had a misunderstanding the

other day, but he's not so bad.

When you said ''nothing''

you reminded me of something.

What's that?

Do you know the tale of the

vizier and the elephant?

Yes.

-The vizier and the ant?

-Yes.

Just the vizier?

You couldn't have heard it,

l just learned it.

l'll tell you about it.

One day the vizier...

So, how are

the great revolutionaries?

Fine Emin. How about you?

You still haven't saved us.

Even we couldn't save you.

Come see the vizontele! We're

having an opening ceremony soon.

lf you're in charge...

Where'd you get this suit?

A friend gave it to me.

On the brink of war and look

what they're busy with.

Which son of a b*tch did this?

Dad, they torn down the wall

and smashed the bricks.

lf they's just left us the bricks,

we could have rebuild the wall.

l'm just explaining

about the bricks.

What's up, snow man?

Nice suit. Going to a wedding?

We're testing the vizontele today

up on that hill.

Why spend money on something

that's just going to melt away.

Can l help you?

Mother, talk to me!

About what?

lt was an accident.

All this over a picture?

But it's my only picture.

Mom, l talked to dad.

What about?

l've got good news for you.

He'll take you to the photographer!

Hurry and get ready.

So, how did it happen?

l told him how important

it was for you.

And he went along with it?

Well, l told him there were some

new watches at the studio...

...and that he could put one on

for the picture. He liked that.

l'll get dressed.

Hang these on the line.

l'm going to this vizontele thing.

Tell us when you're going to come.

Rifat, are you well? Do you

have enough money?

Do you have money?

Nafiz, l wonder if you could, well,

take me to the vizontele thing.

l miss you so much Rifat.

Sure, of course we'll go.

Rifat, don't hang up!

Let's go.

-What about the telephone?

-Come with me.

lt's me, Asiye.

We're fine.

My parents are fine too.

How are you?

Yes, me too.

What? Where is that? Where?

So you think Nazmi did it?

Did it or had it done.

lt must be Siti. lt's just like her!

What's the poor woman got

to do with it?

Why do you say that?

What did l say?

That ''poor'' woman.

We're all grandparents now, and

you're still jealous of your sister!

She's no sister of mine!

My own sister asked at my wedding

whose wedding it was!

Made it seem like

you wanted her.

Thirty years later

you're still going on about it!

You loved her too. That's why

you call her ''poor'' woman now.

Go find something better

to do with yourself.

lt still bothers you, doesn't it?

Enough!

Let's go see how the

vizontele thing turns out.

Dad, what about that matter?

You still haven't

aranged things for the boy.

l will in good time!

Levelled my wall, did they?

Testing... testing...

What are the good citizens up to?

Get a load of the suit...

Emin!

-What's the matter, Mr. Goldilocks?

-Give the mike to our Mayor.

Dear citizens. We are gathered here

today for a most historical event.

Someone asked

what was historical about it.

l'll tell you.

Visitors always ask us:

How can you live in a place like this?

That's a tough question.

We have no choice but to love

our homeland...

...and there's no other way

to find true happiness.

lf you love this town it becomes

the most beautiful spot in the world.

lf you don't love the most beautiful

spot in the world...

...it is no longer beautiful.

Newspapers arrive here

two days late.

By the time we hear something

city folk have all forgotten about it.

Vizontele will end all that.

We'll see whatever they see

in lstanbul. And at the same time.

Vizontele will narrow the gap

between our town and the world.

Everything will be closer.

May it be to the best for us all.

We're ready, teacher.

ln the name of God...

Look, it's a movie

about a blizzard.

Emin?

Looks like we'll be climbing

another hill.

May it bring joy to our town.

Still snowing away.

lt was so popular

they made a sequel.

l think you can skip the speech

today. l mean, no one...

Turn it on.

Yes, sir.

Save the vizontele. lt's on fire...

lf only you'd seen it.

Up in flames, smoke pouring out.

The Mayor's a relative of mine.

Now they're ribbing me too.

They call him ''The Vizontele Mayor''.

Has a nice ring to it.

Get me some hot water, would you?

l told him it would never work,

but he wouldn't listen.

And l told him we should get a

technician from Ankara.

He and Crazy Emin set the

state's vizontele on fire.

How can l explain this

to the governor?

We'll probably see some real

fiery shows on that thing.

You'll all vote for him again anyway.

Not a chance.

And two people

were wounded they say.

So what are the two cleanest bears

in town talking about?

The vizontele fire.

lt'll go on burning. l'm a movie man,

myself. lt's something else.

Now, who was that tall actor?

Tark Akan.

That's right. He's not that tall.

Just comes up to here.

l saw him in lstanbul once.

That's movies for you.

There's one more thing.

l was walking in Beyolu... last year.

Who was that guy

with the pencil line mustache.

Ayhan lsk.

Of course you know nothing

about Beyolu.

Who was the guy in ''Tourist Omer''?

-Sadri Alsk.

Right. He's got a thin mustache too.

Anyway, l yelled out ''Tourist Omer''

when l saw Ayhan lsk.

He didn't even turn around.

So if you shout out ''Ayhan lsk''

when you see Sadri Alsk...

...probably won't look back either.

That's the weird thing about movies.

-How are you Necati?

-Fine.

Good evening.

Welcome, Veli. How are you my son?

What the hell do you want?

Dad sent me.

He says you have to buy tickets

to watch the movie from the roof.

No more free loaders, he says.

Veli!

They're my dad's orders.

Get the hell out of here.

No money for you!

Well, l'll tell him that's what you

said, then. Good evening.

What does he want?

He came here to sell tickets.

Oh, really

You want money?

Come and get it...

Emin.

Don't even try it.

Just keep on watching.

l cooked stuffed vegetables

in case you were hungry.

At this hour?

Food's good at any time, darling.

l thought it might be my fault

that you want a second wife.

Your fault? Why?

l've let myself go. l've been wearing

the same bra for two years.

l got a new one today.

Wanna see it?

Your bra? Here?

Yes, it's here.

l mean, you wanna show it

to me here...

What are you rascals up to?

Shame on you! Go on home!
