Bright House (2021) Movie Script
Be quiet!
Lower your voice!
I wont talk as long as youre yelling.
Be quiet!
Let me speak first.
The buildings are done.
We were about to purchase the
fixtures when the price of gas went up.
You need to deposit some
money so we can install the fixtures.
Youre always asking for money!
-Its not a lot.
As you can see the buildings are done.
Deposit the amount and well
install the fixtures and get it over with.
Have you seen the red container?
Its full of bathroom fixtures.
They just need to be installed.
I even have the installer here.
Itll all be done once you pay up.
-But thats no good!
You know the price of gas went up.
Whats it got to do with the price of gas?
We made our payments last year.
Its as if you dont live in this country!
When gas price goes up so does
everything else.
-But this isnt right.
Stop nagging. Can you live in
a house without a bathroom?
Yes I can.
-How?
A house without a bathroom is like
a hive without honey.
What the hell!
-Im talking here.
Dont make me take the unit
away from you and give it to someone else.
Ive got customers ready to pay cash.
The units are almost ready...
-Weve got to beat him up so ...
...hell give us our units.
You know what the problem is?
One of you pays but the others dont.
You all have to pay at the same time.
All at the same time.
Bastard!
You just talk but dont do anything!
- What are you talking about?
Youve lined up your pockets with six
years of my life!
-You know the price of gas went up!
-You think this dump is gonna be
done with a few toilet bowls?
Yes it will.
You take us for fools?
Whyre you just standing there?
Do you have the money to pay?
-No we dont!
We dont have it!
-Fine.
I swear we dont have it! Just look
at our lives
Get out of here.
-Youve ruined us.
Go on.
Stop making a fuss.
Go on.
Look at this.
Im not lying.
These are your units. Done.
Ill hand it over to you soon.
Just make this deposit and
well get it done.
-Dont talk like that!
I apologize. I will correct my language.
I just got angry for a moment.
Im here at your service.
-"Yeah, right!"
I am here to work for you.
I apologize for getting angry.
Stop that!
Take that from her!
Youre mad!
Do you have a lighter?

Dont give it to her! Dont!
Stop it! Dont do it!

Ill do it!
-Lower your phone!
"Mom! Mom!"
-Lower your phone!
What are we supposed to do
if we dont have the money?
What am I supposed to do? I already

You ask for more money each time.
Just deposit it and itll be done.

Im talking to you.
Wait. Lets talk.

Everything will be easier that way.]

Theyll deliver it sooner or later.
You expect me to live

Ill move in whenever they

Stop this.
Will you buy me a notebook?
Im out of colored pencils too.
Why wont you come back?

-I dont know what I want anymore.
This is the last time youll
be taking her.
Dad?
Is that a joke?
-Does it sound like Im joking?
-The last time where--
-Stop talking so much!
Its rude to interrupt people!
Ive put some extra clothes for her.
Her markers are in there too.
I dont have any paper.
Maryam?
Come with us. Ill fix it.
Whatll you fix?
You dont even have anything to fix.
Itll work out in the end.

-Yes.
Lets go.
-1,2,3!
Ill come in first!
You cant win!
I'll win

Why do you win?!
It was a race. I won.
You always win!
Whats wrong with that?
You promised youd get me a
princess dress if I won.
Thats okay. You can win next time.
I dont want to. Ill ask mom to get me a
princess dress with money from her work.
You do that! Whos gonna hire your mom?!

Thats mean!
Lower the phone.
Dad?
Remember when you worked at a pizza place?
You used to bring us pizza.
Did you like that?
-Yes.
Can you go back to that job?
No.
It wasnt a good job.
Youre right. Acting is better.
A lot better!
Good girl.
So why dont you act in movies?
You need money and connections.

Shes prettier like this.
Dont do that! Moms hair is yellow!
Let go. Black hair suits her better.
Take a look. Isnt this nicer?
I told her the same thing.
So we have the same taste! Give me five!
What does taste mean?
Shes prettier like this.
You and I like black hair and
your mom likes yellow.
Its a personal thing.
Each person has their own taste.
Do you understand?
You will when you get older.
Whats that next to mom?
A dog.
She feeds the dogs.
-Mom does?
Some nights mom goes and feeds the dogs.
Is that what she said?
Yes. Auntie Mahnaz taught me
how to draw dogs.
See how pretty I drew it?
Give me that a minute.
You have sauce on you!
Come here sweetheart.
Why isnt mom coming?
She said shed come in the morning.
Why doesnt she answer her phone?
I dont know.
Is everything okay sweetie?
-Yes.
[The person you are trying to reach...]
Im gonna brush your hair.
Im gonna put a little eye shadow for
you because youre going out.
Im having a bad dream!
Mommy hold me!
Why darling?
I dont know. I have bad dreams.
Go back to sleep. Think of good things.
Like what?
Imagine youre acting in a movie.
Hi.

Yes.
Yes.
Would you like to have some
dinner with me?
Or coffee?
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
What?
You talking to me?
Sorry, you talking to me?
Talking to me?
I want some ice too.
Did mom say where she worked?
Ive never gone with her.
-Why?
Im afraid of dogs.
Mom says there are a lot of dogs there.
Ice.
Wait.
This ones dirty. I wont eat it.
Get me another one.
-Give me that.
Dont eat it.
I dont think we have any more.
It's empty.
If mom was here shed make me ice.
Keep your voice down.
Its not nice.
Im making you some.
Move over.
Lets play a game while it freezes.
What game?
Ill be mom and youll be you.
I come back late from work
and youre upset,
like you are now.
What do you tell her?
Youre not mom.
Just pretend I am.
Mom doesnt have a moustache.
This is a beard.
Its so spiky!
Pretend Im mom.
Youre not.
Neda,
sweetheart, dont do anything bad.
Okay dad.
I said I was mom! Look at me.
Its nice, isnt it?
I told you a hundred times to
shut that door!
Dont yell at the child.
Darling, the neighbors will hear.
Its not nice.
This idiot is just like you.
She has her head in the
freezer all the time!
Im not an idiot!
Yes you are!
-No Im not!
You are. Youre a stubborn idiot.
Just like your dad.
Youre cursing.
Stubborn is not a curse word.
But idiot is.
Dont answer back!
If youd punished her
she wouldnt be so rude.
Stop! Where are you going?
I told you to stop!
-I wont!
Youre rude! I told you to stop!
Come Here!
Wait right there!
Youre not mom anymore.
A strange man?! Oh my god!
Neda honey,
Im late for work.
But its morning now.
Dont ruin it.
Were pretending. Its a game.
Were pretending its nighttime.
See, its night.
The camera is moms purse.
Let me see if I have food for the dogs.
What time does mom leave for work?
-I dont know how to read time.
Does she eat dinner before leaving?
She eats dinner at work.
Okay. Darling,
remember to eat your dinner and
go to bed early.
My darling.
You forgot your purse mom.
Thank you sweetie.
She doesnt call me sweetie.
Moms darling. Did I forget anything else?
You forgot your perfume.
I keep forgetting everything today!
Why would I put on perfume to go to work?
Youre wrong.
Mom has bought a new perfume that
smells really good.
Give me that.
She puts on a lot more.
She doesnt want to smell like a dog.
Did she say when youd move back home?
She said were never moving back.
Did she tell you that?
No, she told grandma but I heard her.
What did grandma say?
She said youve made us miserable.
What does miserable mean?
It means
like the homeless guy who
sleeps on the street.
Take these. The games over.
Can I take a picture?
Come on out, hes not here.
Hi.
Hi.
Take her.
Moms darling, come here.
What?
Nothing.
I told you Ive found a job.
Why did you go.
-Whys her dress stained?
Where?
-I told you she had extra clothes...
...in the bag.
Where is the stain?
-The front of her shirt.
We were having breakfast.
Forget it. Take this.
What?
Whats that?
A windbreaker for when youre
on your bike.
You were so late she fell asleep.
Be careful.
You were gonna come back in the morning.
It was the last time so I thought
she should stay with you a bit longer.
Whats that supposed to mean?
Stop scaring me.
Maryam are you going to work?
Maryam what does the child say?
Maryam
Im talking to you.
Lets talk a minute.
Maryam!
Stop calling my name.
Im tired and want to go to bed!
You sneak in to avoid me?
-Hi.
You owe me ten months.
And your wifes left you.
At least be man enough not to sneak off.
Im not sneaking off.
Ill pay all the back rent by the
end of the year.
Bye.
-Is that it?
Youll wise up when I throw
your stuff on the street.
Come here
Theres room here.
Do you know why they asked us here?
-No.
Do you know why were here?
-No. Were waiting for the supervisor.
Is it true theyre gonna ask for
more money?
Probably.
Will you pay?
Ive never had a choice.

Hold on! Wait a moment! Wait!
Wait!
The supervisor sent me a message.
He wont make it today.
Dont waste your time.
I cant do anything until he gets here.
-This is ridiculous!
Wait.
Hi.

I didnt want to tell you but I think
Maryams filed for divorce.
Did you hear what I said?
Its not serious.
It is. Shes filed for divorce.
Shes as crazy as you.
Its just a game. Shes trying to scare
me. Just like last time.
Why would she want to scare you?
Youre scared of yourself.
Whats that supposed to mean?
Youre scared.
I went through the same situation.
I was scared when Mina decided to leave.
But she went.
Maryam will be back in a few days.
Just like last time. Talk to her and
shell come back.
Where can she go?
She has nowhere to go.
This is really nice.
Its nice?
-Hmmm.
I said Maryams filed for divorce

Why am I still high?!
What did you give me?!
Dont pick up!
Theyve called ten times!
Hello?

You cant go in.
Get down!
Get down!
Where are you going?
-I have some business here.

-The boss.
Which boss?
-The boss.
Get out. We have a hundred different
bosses in here.

Hes not in. Theres no one here.
Theres no one here now?
-No, theyre breaking ground.
Get out.
Are they seriously breaking ground?
Yes they are.
Then why are these people here?
-I dont know.
When will they deliver our houses?
-What houses?
They were supposed to give us houses.
They dont do that. Get out.
Ill be ruined if they dont
deliver my house.
What can I do about it?! Get out.
Ill tell them that no ones here.
Go ahead. Tell them whatever you want!
I will.
-Go on!
Hi.
Hi.
What did he say?
He says theres no one inside.
Hes lying.
I dont know.
Let me in!
-I cant.
Just a minute!
-Step back!
I got this for you.
Really?! Thank you.
Did you know I like movies?
You told me the other day.
-When?
You showed this move to my son.
This is a clapperboard.
Its used to mark a scene, action and
the camera rolls.
Its a great gift. Thanks.
Its not a gift. You gave me your lighter
so I could burn myself the other day
and I lost it.
That one needed a special technique.
You couldnt have lit it.
I didnt want you to burn yourself.
I wanted to help calm you down.
I couldnt light it.
At least you have something you love.
I wanted to get one that would make you
happy.
Look at the American car!
Its a "Hummer"!
Every time I look at this it will remind
me of you and of cinema.
Move over. Move. Sir.
Move. Sir.
Theres no one inside.
-Not even the boss?
No.
Lets go. Theres no one there.
What a car!
What a car!
[They only made false promises...]
-[Yes?]
I have your pizza.
-[Come on up.]
Hi sir.
Hi. How much is it?
84.5. Are you paying with a card?
Yes.
Theres no reception.
-Theres better reception by the window.
I still dont have reception.
- Ill pay in cash. Wait.
Maryam, get my wallet from
my pants pocket.
Where is it?
I think its in my left pocket.
I meant your pants dear. Where are they?
Next to the bed.
-[Yes?]
-[Yes?]
-[Yes?]
-[What?! Whats your problem?!]
Can you open the door?
Will you turn off the tap?
Maryam
Can we get out of here?
Didnt you come here to talk?
You came here and I...
Why are you doing this?
I cant. We cant.
But I didnt do anything.
I know.
So why are you here?
What are you doing here?
What can I do?
Where can I go?
Just wait a bit longer.
Sweerheart... This isnt right!
Its not right.
Its not right.
Waiting.
Always waiting.
For your job, the house...
your stupid films have a place
but we dont.
The court asked about my husband.
If youre an addict. If you beat me.
I said you were a good man and they said I
should move back in with you!
What can I tell them?
What?
Should I tell them that my
husband is a child?
Im sorry.
Lets go Maryam.
I wont come.
I wont.
What do you wanna do?
Beat me up? Kill me?
Whatre you saying?
I love you, how can I beat you?
I dont want you to love me!
Love isnt everything.
Please! Lets go.
For Nedas sake.
This is better for Neda too.
Whats better for her here?
Then where?
Wherever. A child needs a father.
A child needs a roof over her head.
Ill get custody if the courts see
our situation.
can visit her whenever you want.
What do you mean custody?
Shes my daughter!
Shes your daughter but you cant even
afford to pay for her daycare.
Im always playing with her! She loves me.
- Playing?
What sort of father wins every game he
plays with his daughter?
I know its because you dont have any
money to buy her a prize
but she doesnt understand!
You want money?!
Here it is! I sold all my films!
-Whats that?
What good is it?
Put it back in your pocket!
Why do you keep bringing up money?
Even if the court gives you custody
she wont accept
Its all because of the damn house!
What house?! We dont even have a room!
Why arent you doing anything?!
You dont do anything!
Maryam?
Dont touch me!
Dont touch me!
Tell me what to do.
Ill do whatever you say.
Please dont cry.
It wont work.
You cant help it and I cant
take it anymore.
Please! Itll kill me. I love you.
Everything will work out.
Well get a place and live together again.
For Nedas sake.
For Nedas sake!
Let me go.
Go where?
Ill pretend I didnt see anything.
Whatever it was is over now.
I cant.
Let me be. Im tired.
Im tired too.
Very tired.
See what theyve done to us.
Neda was right. You do spray
yourself a hundred times.
It smells nice. Its a cool scent.
-Its warm.
-Its cool.
Its warm.
Maryam!
Neda drew this.
Did you color my hair black?
It looks better.
Neda prefers it black too.
I do too.
Thats okay. You can dye it black.
Itll all work out. Well get a place,
and Ill burn the closet with my films.
The closet is mine.
You can burn your films.
You didnt come last night so I had to
throw out your things.
Ive got my own problems.
I kept the fridge and the TV

Let me speak first.
The buildings are done.
We were about to purchase the
fixtures when the price of gas went up.
You need to deposit some
money so we can install the fixtures.
Youre always asking for money!
-Its not a lot.
As you can see the buildings are done.

They just need to be installed.
I even have the installer here.
Itll all be done once you pay up.
-But thats no good!
You know the price of gas went up.
Whats it got to do with the price of gas?
We made our payments last year.
Its as if you dont live in this country!
When gas price goes up so does
everything else.
-But this isnt right.
Stop nagging. Can you live in
a house without a bathroom?
Yes I can.
-How?
A house without a bathroom is like
a hive without honey.
What the hell!
-Im talking here.
Dont make me take the unit
away from you and give it to someone else.
Ive got customers ready to pay cash.
The units are almost ready...
-Weve got to beat him up so ...
...hell give us our units.
You know what the problem is?
One of you pays but the others dont.
You all have to pay at the same time.
All at the same time.
Bastard!
You just talk but dont do anything!
- What are you talking about?
Youve lined up your pockets with six
years of my life!
-You know the price of gas went up!
-You think this dump is gonna be
done with a few toilet bowls?
Yes it will.
You take us for fools?
Whyre you just standing there?
Do you have the money to pay?
-No we dont!
We dont have it!
-Fine.
I swear we dont have it! Just look
at our lives
Get out of here.
-Youve ruined us.

Theyll deliver it sooner or later.
You expect me to live

Ill move in whenever they

Stop this.
Will you buy me a notebook?
Im out of colored pencils too.
Why wont you come back?
Its been too long this time.
-I dont know what I want anymore.
This is the last time youll
be taking her.
Dad?
Is that a joke?
-Does it sound like Im joking?
-The last time where--
-Stop talking so much!
Its rude to interrupt people!
Ive put some extra clothes for her.
Her markers are in there too.
I dont have any paper.
Maryam?

Whatll you fix?
You dont even have anything to fix.

Let go. Black hair suits her better.
Take a look. Isnt this nicer?
I told her the same thing.
So we have the same taste! Give me five!
What does taste mean?
Shes prettier like this.
You and I like black hair and
your mom likes yellow.
Its a personal thing.
Each person has their own taste.
Do you understand?
You will when you get older.
Whats that next to mom?
A dog.
She feeds the dogs.
-Mom does?
Some nights mom goes and feeds the dogs.
Is that what she said?
Yes. Auntie Mahnaz taught me
how to draw dogs.
See how pretty I drew it?
Give me that a minute.
You have sauce on you!
Come here sweetheart.
Why isnt mom coming?
She said shed come in the morning.
Why doesnt she answer her phone?
I dont know.
Is everything okay sweetie?
-Yes.
[The person you are trying to reach...]
Im gonna brush your hair.
Im gonna put a little eye shadow for
you because youre going out.
Im having a bad dream!
Mommy hold me!
Why darling?
I dont know. I have bad dreams.
Go back to sleep. Think of good things.

Imagine youre acting in a movie.
Hi.

Would you like to have some
dinner with me?
Or coffee?
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.

You talking to me?
Sorry, you talking to me?
Talking to me?
I want some ice too.
Did mom say where she worked?
Ive never gone with her.
-Why?
Im afraid of dogs.
Mom says there are a lot of dogs there.
Ice.
Wait.
This ones dirty. I wont eat it.
Get me another one.
-Give me that.
Dont eat it.
I dont think we have any more.
It's empty.
If mom was here shed make me ice.
Keep your voice down.
Its not nice.
Im making you some.
Move over.
Lets play a game while it freezes.
What game?
Ill be mom and youll be you.
I come back late from work
and youre upset,
like you are now.
What do you tell her?
Youre not mom.
Just pretend I am.
Mom doesnt have a moustache.
This is a beard.
Its so spiky!
Pretend Im mom.
Youre not.
Neda,
sweetheart, dont do anything bad.
Okay dad.
I said I was mom! Look at me.
Its nice, isnt it?
I told you a hundred times to
shut that door!
Dont yell at the child.
Darling, the neighbors will hear.
Its not nice.
This idiot is just like you.
She has her head in the
freezer all the time!
Im not an idiot!
Yes you are!
-No Im not!
You are. Youre a stubborn idiot.
Just like your dad.
Youre cursing.
Stubborn is not a curse word.
But idiot is.
Dont answer back!
If youd punished her
she wouldnt be so rude.
Stop! Where are you going?
I told you to stop!
-I wont!
Youre rude! I told you to stop!
Come Here!
Wait right there!
Youre not mom anymore.
A strange man?! Oh my god!
Neda honey,
Im late for work.
But its morning now.
Dont ruin it.
Were pretending. Its a game.
Were pretending its nighttime.
See, its night.
The camera is moms purse.
Let me see if I have food for the dogs.
What time does mom leave for work?
-I dont know how to read time.
Does she eat dinner before leaving?
She eats dinner at work.
Okay. Darling,
remember to eat your dinner and
go to bed early.
My darling.
You forgot your purse mom.
Thank you sweetie.
She doesnt call me sweetie.
Moms darling. Did I forget anything else?
You forgot your perfume.
I keep forgetting everything today!
Why would I put on perfume to go to work?
Youre wrong.
Mom has bought a new perfume that
smells really good.
Give me that.
She puts on a lot more.
She doesnt want to smell like a dog.
Did she say when youd move back home?
She said were never moving back.
Did she tell you that?
No, she told grandma but I heard her.
What did grandma say?
She said youve made us miserable.
What does miserable mean?
It means
like the homeless guy who
sleeps on the street.
Take these. The games over.
Can I take a picture?
Come on out, hes not here.
Hi.
Hi.
Take her.
Moms darling, come here.
What?
Nothing.
I told you Ive found a job.
Why did you go.
-Whys her dress stained?
Where?
-I told you she had extra clothes...
...in the bag.
Where is the stain?
-The front of her shirt.
We were having breakfast.
Forget it. Take this.
What?
Whats that?
A windbreaker for when youre
on your bike.
You were so late she fell asleep.
Be careful.
You were gonna come back in the morning.
It was the last time so I thought
she should stay with you a bit longer.
Whats that supposed to mean?
Stop scaring me.
Maryam are you going to work?
Maryam what does the child say?
Maryam
Im talking to you.
Lets talk a minute.
Maryam!
Stop calling my name.
Im tired and want to go to bed!
You sneak in to avoid me?
-Hi.
You owe me ten months.
And your wifes left you.
At least be man enough not to sneak off.
Im not sneaking off.
Ill pay all the back rent by the
end of the year.
Bye.
-Is that it?
Youll wise up when I throw
your stuff on the street.
Come here
Theres room here.
Do you know why they asked us here?
-No.
Do you know why were here?
-No. Were waiting for the supervisor.
Is it true theyre gonna ask for
more money?
Probably.
Will you pay?
Ive never had a choice.

Hold on! Wait a moment! Wait!
Wait!
The supervisor sent me a message.
He wont make it today.
Dont waste your time.
I cant do anything until he gets here.
-This is ridiculous!
Wait.
Hi.

Give me that!
Dont be silly.
Take this.
Im suspicious.

Ill leave this here.
You really feel it when you stand up!

I didnt want to tell you but I think
Maryams filed for divorce.
Did you hear what I said?
Its not serious.
It is. Shes filed for divorce.
Shes as crazy as you.
Its just a game. Shes trying to scare
me. Just like last time.
Why would she want to scare you?
Youre scared of yourself.
Whats that supposed to mean?
Youre scared.
I went through the same situation.
I was scared when Mina decided to leave.
But she went.
Maryam will be back in a few days.
Just like last time. Talk to her and
shell come back.
Where can she go?
She has nowhere to go.
This is really nice.
Its nice?
-Hmmm.
I said Maryams filed for divorce

Why am I still high?!
What did you give me?!
Dont pick up!
Theyve called ten times!
Hello?

Get down! Its impossible.
Hes not coming in today.
Where are you going?
I need the restroom.
You cant go in.
Get down!
Get down!
Where are you going?
-I have some business here.
With whom?
-The boss.
Which boss?
-The boss.
Get out. We have a hundred different
bosses in here.
The main one.
-Is This a joke?
Get out of here!
Im serious! I need to talk to him.
Hes not in. Theres no one here.
Theres no one here now?
-No, theyre breaking ground.
Get out.
Are they seriously breaking ground?
Yes they are.
Then why are these people here?
-I dont know.
When will they deliver our houses?
-What houses?
They were supposed to give us houses.
They dont do that. Get out.
Ill be ruined if they dont
deliver my house.
What can I do about it?! Get out.
Ill tell them that no ones here.
Go ahead. Tell them whatever you want!
I will.
-Go on!
Hi.
Hi.
What did he say?
He says theres no one inside.
Hes lying.
I dont know.
Let me in!
-I cant.
Just a minute!
-Step back!
I got this for you.
Really?! Thank you.
Did you know I like movies?
You told me the other day.
-When?
You showed this move to my son.
This is a clapperboard.
Its used to mark a scene, action and
the camera rolls.
Its a great gift. Thanks.
Its not a gift. You gave me your lighter
so I could burn myself the other day
and I lost it.
That one needed a special technique.
You couldnt have lit it.
I didnt want you to burn yourself.
I wanted to help calm you down.
I couldnt light it.
At least you have something you love.
I wanted to get one that would make you
happy.
Look at the American car!
Its a "Hummer"!
Every time I look at this it will remind
me of you and of cinema.
Move over. Move. Sir.
Move. Sir.
Theres no one inside.
-Not even the boss?
No.
Lets go. Theres no one there.

Just wait a bit longer.
Sweerheart... This isnt right!

Its not right.
Waiting.

For your job, the house...

but we dont.
The court asked about my husband.
If youre an addict. If you beat me.
I said you were a good man and they said I
should move back in with you!
What can I tell them?
What?
Should I tell them that my
husband is a child?
Im sorry.
Lets go Maryam.
I wont come.
I wont.
What do you wanna do?
Beat me up? Kill me?
Whatre you saying?
I love you, how can I beat you?
I dont want you to love me!
Love isnt everything.
Please! Lets go.
For Nedas sake.
This is better for Neda too.
Whats better for her here?
Then where?
Wherever. A child needs a father.
A child needs a roof over her head.
Ill get custody if the courts see
our situation.
can visit her whenever you want.
What do you mean custody?
Shes my daughter!
Shes your daughter but you cant even
afford to pay for her daycare.
Im always playing with her! She loves me.
- Playing?
What sort of father wins every game he
plays with his daughter?
I know its because you dont have any
money to buy her a prize
but she doesnt understand!
You want money?!
Here it is! I sold all my films!
-Whats that?
What good is it?
Put it back in your pocket!
Why do you keep bringing up money?
Even if the court gives you custody
she wont accept
Its all because of the damn house!
What house?! We dont even have a room!
Why arent you doing anything?!
You dont do anything!
Maryam?
Dont touch me!
Dont touch me!
Tell me what to do.
Ill do whatever you say.
Please dont cry.
It wont work.
You cant help it and I cant
take it anymore.
Please! Itll kill me. I love you.
Everything will work out.
Well get a place and live together again.
For Nedas sake.
For Nedas sake!
Let me go.
Go where?
Ill pretend I didnt see anything.
Whatever it was is over now.
I cant.
Let me be. Im tired.
Im tired too.
Very tired.
See what theyve done to us.
Neda was right. You do spray
yourself a hundred times.
It smells nice. Its a cool scent.
-Its warm.
-Its cool.
Its warm.
Maryam!
Neda drew this.
Did you color my hair black?
It looks better.
Neda prefers it black too.
I do too.
Thats okay. You can dye it black.
Itll all work out. Well get a place,
and Ill burn the closet with my films.
The closet is mine.
You can burn your films.
You didnt come last night so I had to
throw out your things.
Ive got my own problems.
I kept the fridge and the TV
in place of the rent you owed.
If you wanna take these with you, Hassan
can take them in his pickup.
And if you dont want them you can give
them to the pawnshop.
Leave the closet. Ill come back for it.
Can we chat?
Hi.

Can we talk?
Im listening.
Its a bit long.
Ive got time.
Ive got a cold.
-I know. Speak your mind.
What did you say?
I wont divorce Maryam.
And she wants to come back.
Did she tell you that?
Its not up to you. The judge will decide
if youre competent or not.
Keep the twenty I gave you to signup for
the unit. You dont have to give it back.
You havent told Maryam have you?
Dont worry, I havent said anything.
Whats that?
- It itches.
Why do you scratch yourself with a knife?!
