Not What You Think (2024) Movie Script
NOT WHAT YOU THINK
Sorry for your loss.
Losing a sibling is a heavy feeling...
May he rest in peace.
May he rest free of guilt
on the other side.
We wish you indurance...
My sweet child, why dont you
eat your halva? Have some...
So many people have lived and passed
Should we arrange another car?
I called Caner for one more.
Gulnaz...
Oh my dear...
Aunt Fatma why my halva is shapeless?
Be silent honey, eat it.
My brother...
MORGUE - FUNERAL SERVICES
When i was in school
and asked for extra money...
He'd say, "I can't my son,
it's for your future."
That's future for you!
You save up all that money,
then they tie your chin,
...and spray you with rose water.
What kind of talk is that!
What have I said?
It's between me and my dad.
Mind your own business.
Give me.
When did you find out?
Immediately.
I think he called
me just before you.
So, he called you first?
Yasin, how am I supposed to know?
What does it matter?
He can't call us both at once, can he?
How did he sound?
As usual. Calm.
Why are you asking?
I don't know...
He sounded a bit too calm to me,
...as if he didn't take it by surprise.
Yasin, you and your paranoias...
When has our brother Tahsin
revealed his true feelings
...that he would now?
That's just the way he is.
Does everyone have to live everything
so dramatically like you do?
- This hodja has a beautiful voice.
- Yes he does, mashallah.
He is the one leading the funeral tomorrow.
God bless him.
See you Taso.
See you Hamdo.
- My condolences.
- God bless you. Thank you.
- Our condolences.
- God bless us all.
Look at me.
Is that mascara on your eyes?
My God! I have
the worlds weirdest sister.
Mom's funeral was
more crowded, wasn't it?
Don't you think mom's funeral
was more crowded?
Look at her!
So rehearsed!
She practiced how to wail and everything...
Nonsense, cut the rubbish
Hey Auntie!
How did the show go?
Don't mind her auntie,
you know she's an alien.
No, don't say that to my girl.
What an ancient computer
Look at that for God's sake!
What high class moves...
Lemon juice on the apple, eh?
- Have one, you'll love it.
- Yeah, whatever
His profile is logged in.
I'm on his page.
Come here bro,
come and take a look.
- What is it?
- Come here.
Never forget,
...for every wound you caused,
you'll be called.
Hey Mr. Ethem...
Here is Tokat's pride.
Oh my daddy...
You and dreams in my wonderland.
Hand over my reading glasses.
You and dreams in my wonderland.
Just after dusk,
before a farewell to my bed.
Closed my eyes in a blink.
As if I am in a wonderland.
Dont laugh, why are you laughing?
No, it's nice...
You sprang to my mind!
I thought about you again.
You know, daydreaming is my habit.
Once again, I dreamt.
For a moment,
I felt like a possessed lover.
E..
And below is a picture
of a rose and a pen.
What a picture!
Oh my daddy...
Oh my!
Full of comments too...
You've gifted us such nice poetry.
Never stop writing,
never ever let your pen dry up.
I hope our friendship is a
never ending one.
Wow Ethem, you are really something, huh!
My daddy
He was such a funny man.
Tell me about it
My father was really funny!
So funny...
It's a shame you couldn'twitness it!
Brother, it's funny.
Yeah right, so funny!
He gave your brother
hell of a time...
Make up your mind.
Just this morning,
you stopped us talking behind his back.
What hell of a time?
Don't exaggerate.
Sure.
Remember the day
at Uncle Muhsin's yard?
But you won't remember though,
you were only 6 years old or so...
He beat the hell out of me that day!
He almost grabbed Hamdi,
...but Hamdi was smart
enough to get away.
No, I remember.
Yasin Pasha?
Whereabouts were you do you think, huh?
This smacky mouth Yasin Pasha...
He stood there, gulping peaches
when I took a good beating...
What business did dad
have in Amasya?
ETHEM CAVDAR IS AT AMASYA
Dad wanted to see the grove,
so Tahsin took him.
So you knew they went?
The doctor said
he shouldn't get tired, right?
Did you take the sick man on a trip?
How irresponsible of you!
Dad himself asked to go.
I'm talking, don't interrupt!
- Why shouldn't I interrupt!
- I'm talking here.
Dad wanted to soak his feet
in the Shitty Creek there.
- No reason to be mad at my brother.
- Am I talking to you?
- Stop yelling!
- Dont make me yell then!
Dont make me yell!
Maybe he had a heart attack
because he was tired.
- What nonsense?
- What do you mean nonsense?
Why would you take
75-year-old man seriously?
He insisted on going,
what was I supposed to do?
Is that all, brother?
You have nothing else to add?
Do you do everything
Mert asks you to do? Last summer,
...the kid wanted to go to summer camp,
but did you let him go?
Why didnt you?
Didn't you say dad became juvenile
as he got older?
But no!
It's better to brag, isn't it?
You're taking care of two kids, eh?
- Good God!
- I said do not interrupt me!
If you were so interested,
...maybe you should have been here
to take care of him!
Huh? Yasin Pasha?
No use dropping by once a year.
My dad never called me
out on it, not once.
Youve never understood him,
...you couldn't get along with him.
Didn't you say this morning
he never send you money?
Now he's a thoughtful person, is he?
That's different.
Growing up in a poor family,
he had to learn to be prudent.
- What is it have to do with I said?
- Stop yelling!
Stop interfering!
Well, well...
The one far away is the precious one.
Would you come if he wanted you to?
He was aware he shouldnt
expect anything from you.
No... No Doctor!
You'd said...
Youd said no trips at all, right?
Am I wrong?
No. I know, it's not a long trip.
I assumed you advised no trips at all,
...thats why I needed
to confirm with you.
No I know, Doctor.
No doubt Tahsin
took good care of dad.
I was just confused, thats all.
OK, I get it.
Thank you for your time,
you must be on call.
We'll be in touch.
Thank you.
Thank you. Bye.
Who can leave his love
I cant
Who can leave his love
I cant
Leave my love
Walk belle walk
Let your hair swing
Open your vest, open
Let your
Diamond neck be seen
Come on son, you'll be late.
Eh?
No worries.
We worked so hard,
it will go great.
And you still have one more day.
OK, son?
OK, my brave boy.
I'll talk to her.
May God give you clarity of mind.
OK, be careful.
Give the phone to your mother.
Brother, you have failed to
smear the entire mirror!
Maybe you should spit on it directly!
Come on girl, leave me alone.
Hurry up, we have to stop by
my sons school too.
Stop it for God's sake.
Let's go.
All right.
Take mine too.
I'm done. Let's go.
Look, what I found...
Oh my!
Remember?
Remember, I couldn't find my number
on the list, then you found it.
We danced so hard,
the neighbors had hit
the wall to stop us.
Look, you marked it.
LIST OF ACCEPTANCE
TOKAT ANATOLIAN HIGH SCHOOL, 1997
What the hell!
Rustu, Ilker, Hogh,
Uche, Erol, Kemalettin,
Oguz, Aykut, Bulent, Bolic.
The epic team!
Good job!
Seems we brainwashed her.
She begged to play football with us.
Shall we?
You serious?
Yes...
Stop it
What, are you scared?
Huh?
Come on.
Are you really serious?
Come, let's see what you got.
You granny!
No way can you beat me,
you'll weep hard!
- I'll show you the granny!
- I will make you cry!
I will make you cry!
You ready?
Huh?
Is the pen working?
Small dots will be enough.
Its not working.
Is it? OK then.
- I'm white's.
- OK.
We could draw for it
but I'll be white's anyway.
I spared these for you, take it.
Starting.
OK.
My turn.
Oh my!
You cant hit the same one twice.
But Ive passed forward,
it didn't work.
Yasin, where is the car key?
- Bro, it's not like that.
- Wait, OK.
I forgot my charger in the car.
Where are the keys?
My turn.
My turn.
- Yasin car key--
- Score!
- You are cheating!
- Im not!
What the...
Where are the keys,
I need my charger!
Are you out of mind?
We're playing a game here!
- Ive asked ten times!
- There, go get it.
Ask like a human being.
As if you hear.
See? The fans threw a foreign object
in the field.
Look now. Shit!
What did you say?
- Yes... Bro
- What did you say?
Ertugrul...
Come in Nehir, my dear...
Come on in
Come...
What is this?
My grandma made it for you,
she said it's your birthday in two days.
But its my gift.
Thank you.
Do you want to take a look?
Come on, get it...
- This one has such a pretty color.
- Have you ever put on a lipstick?
Where?
I did for Mert's
circumcision ceremony.
They also put blue glitter me.
Why didn't you come?
Come to me.
Happy birthday auntie
Happy birthday auntie Remziye,
Happy birthday to you
Thank you.
Shall we put some on?
I CAN'T QUIET FIGURE OUT!
THEY MIGHT BE FIDDELING WITH INHERITANCE.
THEY'RE HIDING SOMETHING FROM ME.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO LET ME HAVE
THE WALNUT GROVE, YOU'LL SEE...
WHAT? I DON'T THINK SO MY GOJI...
We are going to Auntie Sidika
tonight, right?
No, I can't come,
We agreed we'd go...
We did, but I have to work.
You're here,
can't you give a break?
I can't.
Yasin, don't piss me off,
she made preparations for you.
Look, the world
doesn't evolve around you.
You'll see as you age.
You should care for people back.
You should not be selfish.
Selfishness What selfishness?
Being selfish is not
prioritizing your work.
It's about demanding
more rights than others.
I'm not selfish,
I don't pretend to be self-sacrificing
like many other people, thats all.
And what's more...
How could a laborer of a better society
be a selfish person? Huh?
I think you're the real selfish one...
Not only you dont fight for anything,
but you accept anything established.
You are the selfish one here.
You and your lectures!
You're unaware of your closest,
is the society up to you?
Your oldest friend was near death.
He needed money for his treatment.
You went to Germany
for vacation those days.
Huh?
Did it ever occur to you to use
the holiday money for him?
Salaam, Taso.
- Salaam, Sermet.
- How are you doing?
- Thank you.
- Here, have some plums.
- Thanks.
- Its from our own grove.
- Mashallah!
- Good sales then, see you.
Good sales to you too.
- These are very popular.
- Yes.
Would you like these, instead?
Hmm...
- What other colors have you got?
- Here you go. They are all here.
Dont mess them up.
I can check from the layers.
- Blue if you like?
- They are beautiful.
Messi get the match underway
from the kick-off...
- Oh my...
- Goal!
The referee points to Messi
and shows him a red card.
Messi objects...
Welcome, dad.
As Messi continues his objections,
a fan enters the field...
Were waiting for the referee
to pause the match, but
Son, you've sweated.
You'll catch cold.
Yasin passed Messi,
once he hits, he will score...
- He is approaching...
- Let me.
He is approaching.
Oops sorry! Just an accident...
Yasin! You son of a donkey!
Bro, don't...
You got it on my head man!
We still have this?
Yes we do.
Look at that.
Look at this handsomeness...
So you have only one tooth, do you?
What happened to you later in your life?
You were so cute!
I'm still cute man,
mind yourself!
You probably beat me up!
What's with the antenna!
What a coincidence!
Look at that...
Which region's folk dance
costume is that?
Erzurum.
My brother is an artist who
has proven his mastery in break dance.
What say you brother?
A dancer or dancing artist?
This wedding was
- ...well, it was Hamdi's
- It was Hamdis.
Look. Remember how
gorgeous he was?
- I do. He was a James Dean!
- Also remember how nasty he was?
- Very!
- How can I not?
Efe
Do you ever get to see Efe?
No, I hardly ever see you.
Aw, I am going to eat this girl!
Dearest
Here, she never let me kiss her.
She was a pain-in-the-ass!
- Look at those eyes...
- Hazy.
Why is this here?
Wow!
My hottest years!
- Put it away.
- Wait...
Wait a minute So I nearly died,
don't be a drama queen.
Wait girl, let's have
a look at my hottest years.
Leave it, man.
Poor you
Brother...
Two yellow roses
on my grave, OK?
- What the hell?
- Brother
- Come on Yasin
- Shh, silence...
- The guy lacks brains.
- Yasin!
Take care of my sister, please.
Never leave each other.
I'm leaving, but I will
live in your hearts.
Brother, I am going
but I will never die.
I am always inside you, my brother!
- An idiot he is.
- My beautiful brother.
You've really gone crazy.
You've lost your sense of humor.
Then be serious about it.
You're so boring.
This Tugce just had to tilt her head
everytime her photo was taken.
Which Tugce?
This one.
Wait. Why is Tugce in our family album?
Why do we have her photo?
I came on to her in prep school.
Tugce? Fat ass Tugce!
What was wrong with her ass, man?
It was a nice ass.
You are such a schmuck!
Did you put her photo here?
- Why would I?
- Did you?
Dont be ridiculous.
Hold on.
Good evening, Ms. Ezgi...
How may I help you?
Yes...
I did check--
Sure.
Sure, abroad Yes.
My apologies.
I'm really sorry,
I'll take care of it when I am back.
Good even-
- Whats wrong?
- Idiot!
- Whats wrong?
- Thats what she is.
First, you offer your condolences.
You don't cut to work straight away.
Fuck your sense of responsibility!
- Fuck your shoe sales!
- Whats wrong?
Idiot, she is not human!
I was wondering
when Uncle Remzo would join us.
There you go, he has arrived.
Yo!
Uncle Remzo...
...grab a beer for me, will you?
I'm burning inside. Come on!
Aw crazy boy, you are going to
bring the house down on us!
Bring me my beer,
I will be driving to the town.
Did the chickens have eggs, girl?
Bring them and well have
plenty of scrambled eggs!
Let me kiss your sweet cheeks!
She swore so bad!
I missed her language.
Bro, take a shot.
- Not so fast!
- Really?
I'm crossed with both of you.
At you and at you, too.
- Do not touch me.
- Undo it.
OK, we are good now
Now you, undo it!
- No, I wont.
- Undo it.
You smelly feet!
I really hate both of you sometimes!
Do not do that!
Under your roof
There can be no unpleasant feelings
In the presence of wisdom,
Worries all fade away
Here is better than
everywhere else for us
My school, my dear school,
Is the home of joy and wisdom
We would like to thank
Dilara Atilgan from
4B Class for this
lovely poem of hers.
And now, with the music
teacher Ozan Unsal Cekic,
well have Selim Mert
Cavdar from 2C Class,
will sing the song Did You
Yellow the Scarf on Your Head?
written and composed
by Asik Esref Tombuloglu.
Did you paint to yellow
the scarf on your head?
Why did you wither, are you in love?
Are you from Tokat?
Are you from Almus, girl?
Are you from Tokat?
Are you from Almus, girl?
I am gonna marry you
But are you gonna marry me?
I am gonna marry you
But are you gonna marry me?
I am gonna marry you
But are you gonna marry me?
I am gonna marry you
But are you gonna marry me?
The cat shows up,
smells the man's foot,
then falls back, BOOM!
What a video that was!
What other videos are there?
Well, some other interesting videos.
Good sales, Mustafa.
Where have you disappeared to,
...you don't pick up my calls?
Arife and her decisions...
Now, she doesnt want a saloon wedding,
but a countryside wedding.
Thank god, Halil gave to
deposit payment back.
Well, well.
Handsome!
Will you forgive me?
- Youll sing for me at home, OK?
- OK.
- Is my aunty is there too?
- Yeah, she is.
They're looking at gowns together.
Taso...
Isn't that gown is
too revealing on the shoulders?
Hamdo, let her be.
She will only have one wedding.
She's not a senior widow like you are.
Wow!
How does it look daddy?
So beautiful darling.
Just like a princess.
- Where did you get your dress?
- From here.
My Nehir...
What beautiful poem that was,
you got me emotional.
Actually I wanted to read
'Animal Friends',
...but my teacher told me
to read the one about trees...
Animal Friends was too short anyways,
this one was longer, better.
But I like Animal Friends more.
Never mind honey.
Mashallah. May god let us
see her in a wedding dress.
In God willing.
She looks so much like her mom.
I realized the other day,
she looks exactly like Aysel...
May she rest in peace.
Amen.
Where on earth is he?
Call him. Its been so late.
His phone is on silence mode I think.
Hey, where are you?
We have painkillers at home.
Drink some water too.
Come on, get on your way already!
We are waiting here.
He hasn't sobered up, right?
How will Hilmi take care of
two stores for that long!
He has a headache.
Of course he does if he drinks like a mule!
Move your bag.
It's feeling so weird
to talk about this stuff now.
Weird yes, but it has to get done.
What the hell is this?
You are in a whole different world!
Which world are you in then?
What, you're searching about baggy-eyes.
You know why we're here?
- Why have we gathered, right?
- Why have you?
Youll ask another
for every question?
Is that what I'll do?
Did we grow up in
different families? Huh?
Us three, did we all
grow up in different families?
Didn't you ever learn anything
from your brothers?
Yes I have. Loads!
My beloved brother...
So you probably never remember that
...you constantly put me down
...because I was younger than you?
Huh? Remember?
Let's judge 12 years old me then, shall we?
Sue me then!
If books you've read didn't make
any impact, hell with it then!
Can I check your phone for a second?
- Hello. What can I get you?
- Mineral water, please.
Show us what you shared today
and how many likes you got...
You love serving yourself to others.
Like you don't!
What does it say on your profile?
A writer?
What am I? Grocer?
- How many books did you write?
- Oh wow!
You post your books and documantaries,
is that not serving yourself?
Let's see what you posted other than your
books and documentaries...
See... Take a look at yourself,
swelled with pride.
But it's your stupid scarf...
Look at this...
So he doesn't serve himself
but I do, huh?
Enough you both for god's sake!
I'm busy and already late.
There is no end to your quarrels.
If we can't sort this thing out
you will have to stay longer.
It's fine by me.
I'd like it.
OK bro, let's do what we have to do.
Well then...
That...
Nursery and walnut grove...
You each take one of this.
They have almost the same value.
Well, the store...
We can count in it
for the house in Turhal if you want.
But if you don't agree,
then we'll sell them and share between you.
What, no! Your years of business...
What will you do instead?
- Don't be ridiculous. No.
- No way.
Once dad's car is back from the service,
well add it to the equation.
Well, I have a question.
Dad gave you money to buy
your ex-wife Gulnaz's house.
So 300K at that time and
now is not the same thing, right?
What do you mean?
I mean...
Is it right to consider it
the same as nursery's value?
What?
Well, if we exchanged it to dollar,
...it would be three, five times more now.
But that's all water under the bridge.
Alright but...
I worked with dad,
...we made that 300K together.
If you want to fine tune everything,
this is a very difficult issue.
So should I not bought a house
for my son?
Gulnaz insisted about the boy
to have his own house.
Also dad wanted
this in the first place...
He was right.
He probably thought
you two would make up.
So all dad said was right?
He said so and case closed?
We don't have a mom,
who else should I be listening to?
He would do the same thing
if you had kids though.
Dad wanted you to take over the shop
and not go to collage, remember?
And you did exactly
what he wanted you to.
Those are all things from the past.
They should have been
divided all back then.
For instance I would publish my
second book and it would serve me right.
So you say a child and a book
are the same things, huh?
- No bro...
- They are.
- Did I say something like that?
- Of course, they're the same.
You chose to marry and have a kid,
he chose to write a book.
Our brother and Gulnaz
cared for dad for years,
...and maybe he wanted to gift
them for their efforts.
Since how long did dad need
constant care?
Alright, forget it.
You do what you want, OK?
- Come on, bro, don't.
- Let's do what you want, man.
Take it, please, bro.
Take it...
Don't mind her! She's talking rubbish.
You do whatever you find fit.
Dad didn't need
constant care, bla bla...
But what my brother and
Gulnaz did for him...
How they supported me
before I had a stable income...
How would we forget that?
Don't mind her bro, do what you want.
My Taso, I'm not saying it for the money.
When you said dad acted fairly,
I just objected to that, that's all.
I'm not criticizing you.
Alright...
Alright then...
Now then...
What about that tax thing?
Well...
Inheritance transaction and such things
have a tax payment.
You have to share the loads.
What? It has a tax payment of
some 3 or 5 percent, I don't know...
And that makes roughly 15-20K.
You have that much?
Are you asking me? I don't.
Neither do I.
Fine, then.
I'll figure it out.
Tahsin, may your dad rest in peace.
Forgive me, I was away
and couldn't attend the funeral.
Thanks. God bless you, Eyup.
- God bless our friends.
- Thank you.
Remember Remzo, our youngest?
We used to buy roasted chickpea dust
from your store.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- And this is our middle brother.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- He graduated from the university.
Now, he has a book
and shoots documentaries.
Documentaries? How nice!
It must be difficult
chasing animals in the mountains and all.
Documentaries are not only about animals.
Hmm...
So Eyup, did you travel
all by yourself?
By myself, my family is in Niksar,
making rose hips jam.
They handed me a lid
and ordered fifty of them.
So, Ive been searching for lids.
Nice. You take care.
Should be them.
Brother, see you soon.
Goodbye, see you.
Man, what is this manner of yours, ha?
What have I done?
How the hell is the man supposed to know?
Can't you just let it go?
Such manners of yours irritate me, too.
Is this your way of being
an antielitist like you always say? Is it?
Look, all these places were
in ruins before restorations.
Remo, put the phone down.
Youve been away for so long,
so raise your head and have a look.
How come you are so indifferent?
Are you sure you are from this city?
I'm on my own, confused
I will shed tears at
your absence all the time
Our frequent locations will ask about you
The burden of separation
will ruin me
Your hand, your skin, your husky voice
I will miss everything about you
Pull over.
Neither today nor tomorrow
I wont forget, God
Your name will always be on my lips
I swear
I will be offended by your absence
I will keep you in my heart
No one can leave the car
before singing this part.
I planted you in my hopes
I will reap with them
And I will love you tomorrow
Dont forget, forgotten ones
Never forget the forgetful
- OK, Im gone!
- Now, you can bug off wherever you like!
- Come on.
- Come on.
Good God...
Highlights I think.
A few shades lighter at the ends maybe.
- It would look nice, right?
- Yes, definetely.
You did the same for Nihal,
I like it on her.
Yes, her hair has really been nice.
Hello, is Seval here?
No, she is on vacation.
- To Kusadasi?
- Yes.
This stuff is really practical.
They won't fall off, right?
No, don't worry.
Remziye?
Is that you?
- Sermin!
- Yes...
No way!
- How are you?
- Im good, I cant believe this!
We last saw each other
at high school, right?
Shut up, we don't talk like that!
- How is it going?
- Good. How about you?
Fine, taking care of these two.
These gorgeous girls...
Are they yours?
Yes. Beyza and Seyma.
Beyza, Seyma
Look how pretty are you!
Come, sit on my lap.
Thank you so much.
- How many years apart are they?
- Just two.
You had them one after the other
in two years?
Her curly hair is exactly like yours.
Yes, the other one resembles her father.
I cant believe Ive seen you.
Are you getting ready for something?
- Whose wedding is it?
- Whose?
- Its Nihals.
- Give me a break!
I swear.
- So, you two are good now?
- Nope.
- What do you mean nope?
- Nope.
Why do you go to
the wedding then?
Because she came to mine.
Oh so you have to return her gold,
so sorry for you!
- You should come too.
- Not in a million years!
How may I help you?
Sorry to bother you...
Is Sude here?
Sude?
There's no one here called Sude.
You have any neighbors called Sude?
Neighbors
Well, not that I know of.
I see. Sorry to bother you.
Have a nice day.
You too.
I had my hair done like that
for your wedding, remember?
My mom said I looked like
aunties and no fit for me...
Well, we all loved buns that time.
- God! What nonsense...
- You can't run like us... You can't...
When you married so suddenly,
I thought I would be a spinster.
How could someone get married at that age!
I was an idiot.
- It was like you were escaping.
- Ridiculous.
- Which way do we go?
- This way. Let's cross the street.
- Come dear.
- Remziye!
- Right. That way.
- Remziye!
What! Nevzat?
What a coincidence! We also just
ran into each other.
- What, just now?
- Yes!
I just came for a haircut
but there is a queue,
...so I'm just taking a walk.
How are you Sermin?
Good, as you know it.
Kids and all...
Great! The younger one
is so much like you.
I succesfully made her
like myself, didn't I?
You did.
You haven't changed
one bit Remziye.
Me?
It's been 20 years,
how can I not...
Don't be ridiculous.
Of course your facial expression
seems more mature...
But...
No wrinkles at all.
Well, apple roots, cinnamon sticks I try...
Let's have some tea together.
We should leave,
my brothers are waiting.
We can eat something too...
She is going to a
wedding anyway...
- Is that so?
- Yes, wedding...
Well, alright then.
Happy to see you.
Us too.
- See you.
- See you.
- Run, hold my hand...
- Green light is on.
Look at god's work!
Hey, did you get excited?
Why would I?
It's been 20 years...
- Why would I get excited?
- Yeah, run... Run...
"You haven't changed one bit."
Apple roots, cinnamon sticks... My ass!
I have tons of creams,
a thousand liras each.
- How much?
- Yeap! A thousand liras.
Oh my god!
Whoa!
- Welcome home.
- Thank you.
Im starving.
Dinner is ready, right?
There you go!
What is it?
The pans were in the dishwasher...
So, he made the eggs in the pot.
Yasin Pashas weird ways!
My Pasha, was it difficult the wash one?
Put your bag down.
So was it difficult?
Just tell me...
Stop talking.
I've got things to do.
Important things, huh?
Who is it?
Sude?
My Goji!
My dear Goji... Happy birthday!
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday my love.
My condolences.
Thanks.
So sorry I couldn't
make it to the funeral.
No worries, its enough for you
to have thought of it.
I brought this for you.
Thank you brother.
Thank you.
You must be
Sude's musician brother, right?
Is that what she said?
Yes.
No really. Just trying...
Here Remo...
From me and your brother.
It was Yasins idea.
No way!
You guys can't be this lovely!
Look at her.
You ordered that one, too?
I couldnt spare it.
They're so sweet! Look...
Even this has
the same messy hair as I have.
They did such a good job at it.
Thank you so much.
Don't, I'm getting tickled!
Come here for one more.
You have to kiss me too, kiss me!
OK, here you go...
I did it.
Look at them.
- Burak, look at them.
- They are so nice, thank you.
Enjoy!
Can I wash my hands?
- Yes sure, come along.
- No no, I got it.
Come.
I have a question.
Go ahead.
So you dont like being named after granny,
I can understand that.
But come on, what is Sude?
What a pretentious name it is.
You might have had Zeynep,
Aysegul or Muge.
Why not? What the hell is Sude?
- Is it nice?
- Is Sude nice?
- Is it nice?
- Is Sude nice?
You dont like it? Let's call this one
Muge then, and this one Aysegul.
Is that nice?
Let me change my
name to Berkecan then.
Berkecan Cavdar,
a proper name for an author...
Mine is not like that.
I mean Yasin avdar...
It's up to him, right Muge?
He can do whatever he wants, right honey?
Whoa whoa whoa!
Remo, listen, it is not right.
Where will he stay?
Here, with us obviously.
Where else?
What do you mean?
He arrives uninvitedly,
we didn't even know he was coming!
I didn't either. Did I
invite him? He just popped up.
He came for you! You can't
act like you have nothing to do with it!
Did I invite him!
Good God...
Anyway, I'll just take him
to Gungors hotel.
You'll call and invite him
for breakfast.
Nonsense! He came
all this way, it would be so rude.
- He will stay here.
- Quiet Hold on a sec.
Look, this man is
a known shopkeeper in town.
It's a small town, there will be talk.
There is no need.
Just hear my modern, civilized,
radical brother saying!
What rubbish!
Sleep with him in Moms bed,
if you like!
You do that with your girlfriend,
I won't.
I'd do if I want.
Wait a minute, we're talking.
This is my house, too!
Right, but you are the youngest.
Youngest?
I'm 34 years old for God's sake.
I am sick of this!
- OK.
- Then stop acting like a child!
Get out of my way...
Besides, you are still younger than us.
Hold on, let's not argue with her,
...let him stay tonight,
...and tomorrow we'll
take him out for kebab. OK?
No need to argue.
Take him out for kebab?
OK then, he can sleep with me tonight!
Let him know!
OK. As long as
he doesnt sleep with me...
My Goji...
This time well have
separate beds.
For sure.
How else would it be...
I'm fine this way.
Is this straight?
Hold on...
By the way, your brothers are so friendly.
Indeed.
Remo!
Yes, brother.
No milk left?
There is the regular one,
we ran out of lactose-free.
You got a stomachache or what?
Forget it. Never mind.
Give it here.
- What?
- Let me do it.
To here or there?
I have a question
Why are they calling you Remo?
My second name is Remziye.
My grannys name.
FORTY STAIRS
FANZINE OF TOKAT ANATOLIAN HIGH SCHOOL
1996, DECEMBER
TALKING ABOUT INSANITY
WRITER: YASIN CAVDAR
Oh, it's nice.
So Burak, let us know you a little.
Tell us what do you eat, what do you drink,
who do you belong to...
Lets do some interrogation.
Well, sure.
Where should I start...
Start wherever you like.
Well, let me put it this way...
I have a small shop
in the center of Izmir.
It's like a showcase for me.
A store for customers.
Actually, I am an agricultural exporter.
I export goji berry.
- Koji berry?
- Goji berry.
Goji berry.
What is that?
Goji berry is a plant, a fruit.
It's like strawberry...
It's mostly used in cosmetics
and pharmaceutics.
It grows all over the world,
...but new in Turkey.
Modestly, I'm one of the pioneers,
along with my army friend Akhif.
I gave him the idea by the way.
How nice.
Well...
How did you two meet with Remz--
I mean Sude?
Sude and I...
Well...
[Tokat accent] One night,
I had a very important meeting.
And it was rainy
like you wouldn't believe it.
I escaped to Serdar's parfumery,
...and saw this girl picking perfume
by the stairs.
The way you speak
The moment someone arrives in Tokat,
they are from Tokat.
What? Are you from here too?
No, I am not. I wish I was.
When I grew up in Malatya,
we had neighbours from Tokat.
That's how I learned the tongue.
- You know what...
- Well...
- No no, you first.
- No, please...
I saw something on your arm...
A tattoo.
What does it mean?
Is it S?
S for Silly [Tokat accent].
Come on
No bro...
It's a birthday present for Sude.
Is it permanent?
Well
As permanent as she is in my life.
Here. OK.
- We need one more chair, bro.
- Here we have another one.
Hey, you are glittering!
Shall we also buy
some crispies, please?
What is crispy?
When did the 500-year-old bagel
become crispy?
Bro don't be weird!
Your sister is from Izmir and
her mom is from Thessaloniki.
Her maternal line of descent
goes back to Thessaloniki.
She is of European descent!
Come. What took you so long?
I searched for a lactose-free milk.
How did you keep that in your mind?
Even I did forget. Thank you.
Not at all.
The spoon
What? The green one?
No, not that one.
One is enough.
Murat, hand me the knife from there.
Knife... Here it is, bro.
Burak...
Please excuse my brother.
He has such a poor memory of names.
Oh I'm so sorry,
I'm really puzzled these days.
The name of the cheese reads Murat,
so I was confused.
Not at all, brother
This is Sulusokak Street.
- Its all renovated though.
- It is.
- Or its been. It was nothing like this.
- No, far from it.
This area has a story,
but its skipping my mind now.
If I knew youd be coming,
I would have checked before.
You tell us, if you remember.
Me? Of course, I do.
You will too, just listen.
Look at that corner ahead.
That is a crucial spot
for Tokatian history.
It is the corner where Yasin Pasha
was caught by Dad kissing Demet Sultan.
Wow! I'd forgotten about that...
Dad left the mosque and
he is not a happy one that day...
Anyway, he calmed down afterward.
He had calmed down already.
Thank god for that!
But Demet was such a sweety.
- She really was.
- Where is she now?
She had a mole here
I loved it!
My brother is fond of moles.
On chins, necks... Wherever really!
- He has such refined tastes.
- One should have unique tastes.
Sure.
You You also have unique tastes
Because I am your sister.
Wherever you find a dark, swarthy guys...
My sister is there.
- But
- Hold on a sec, what was his name?
- The boy in elementary school?
- Whose?
Get back.
Or was he in secondary school?
A brownish boy...
- Nevzat from Malatya.
- Thats him, Nevzat from Malatya.
But I've really improved myself.
For example, the forehead.
It is an important matter.
You put your hand over,
...the best one is four fingers
and slightly larger.
- You see?
- I see.
I almost missed the princess,
fortunately, I lost my hair.
And the smell
He should smell like freshly baked
Tokat scones. So good.
You have no shame?
Remember, I am your elder brother.
Look, this corner.
That famous corner!
Here here...
Im not comfortable you sitting your backs
towards this amazing view
Youre like a tourist, enjoy it.
We see this all the time.
You said you didnt come here
for years, maybe you miss this?
I glanced for a while and
realised I hadn't miss it that much.
Umm, jokes and all,
you picking all the points huh?
- I havent played my winning card yet.
- Umm, I'm curious.
The soup is great though,
such a summer soup.
Now...
So if I may...
I guess I deserve a signature.
Wow...
Come on, really?
LIKE YOU WILL DIE TOMORROW
YASIN CAVDAR
- Your pen...
- Oh come on...
Well, you really played it, bravo.
Wow, you already read this,
you even got some lines underlined.
In three days.
Asim is my favorite character.
Resembles me a little bit.
And the story about the hospital,
its incredible, incredible!
I mean you know better, some authors
make this overly emotional, almost cheesy,
...but I enjoyed it a lot.
I cant describe how...
Thanks, you made me so happy,
and surprised too.
What was your name?
Mahmut Tuncer!
Then I'll go with Mahmut Tuncer!
Thank you...
Wow!
I love it...
Here you go...
Thank you so much.
Dear Burak, eating this kebap
is a form of art...
- ...and Ill teach this to you.
- Wow, wow, wow...
- Are you ready?
- Im ready.
Professor Yasin has spoken!
- You teach if you want.
- No no, this is your profession...
Look Im removing the meat,
Ill come back to it later.
Take the aubergine...
Wait sir, Ill catch you up.
Hurry up take it, come on...
- I did.
- Split it like this.
- I did...
- OK go on...
Watch me, see?
Do the same.
Oh, wow...
See? Look...
Now, a spoon of tomato from there...
Bro, give him some tomatoes...
- Put the tomato on it...
- Wait a second...
- Here you go...
- Hes so slow...
Take a pepper.
Pepper...
Place it to the plate but don't touch it.
Let it be for a while.
- Let it be where?
- Pepper should stay on the side,
...it will rest.
Now take the potato.
Take one potato and put it on.
Garlic...
I'm fine without garlic.
- Sorry?
- What did you say?
I'm OK without garlic.
Can you repeat it?
Let me take one.
Bro, give him some garlic.
Look at her hazel eyes
She has the morning light on her face
She put a knife of sadness in her chest
She sings sadly in her nest
She flies sadly into the sky
She sings sadly in her nest
She flies sadly into the sky
Bravo.
Praise your voice and soul.
Friends, this is the last song of
our concerts first act.
It should end in high tempo.
We can speed this up a bit,
we can be more cheerful.
Hello?
Yes, Im listening.
Come here.
I see
This place seems like a historical one.
Is it the final decision?
Yes, I used to work with them,
...but things didnt work out smoothly.
Yes.
Thank you anyway, goodbye.
- What happened?
- Nothing.
Look...
Do you remember this place?
This is the upper side of the road we past.
- We should go to the museum one day.
- What?
- We should go to the museum.
- Sure.
- Let's go on this way.
- Okay.
I'm gonna show you some place there.
You'd love it.
The tea is really good...
Thank you.
Bros tea is the best. Hes a craftsman,
he knows this tea business.
God bless your hands.
I guess much better with the
fresh water out here.
Sure, that also has an affect.
You are little drowsy.
Yeah, all that sun and bathhouse...
- Welcome Hamdi...
- What are you up to Taso?
- Find, and you?
- Same here.
- Good evening.
- Welcome.
Thank you.
Peace be with you, groom.
- Peace be upon you, welcome.
- Thank you.
- I have to leave.
- Sit for some tea?
I really have to go, I promised Nehir.
I bought her a model castle,
we will build it together.
- Castle?
- Yes...
I dont want to get roasted,
good evening.
- OK then, so your night is long.
- You bet it is.
- Give my best to auntie.
- Okay, thanks.
- Hell build a castle?
- Hes so sweet, we love him.
- He looks like Super Mario.
- Yeah, he really does!
- He makes his own yoghurt?
- Yoghurt?
No, our aunty makes it.
Everyone does their own goods in
this city, it always have been like this.
If we came here on July,
...you would taste really fresh
tomatoes, aubergines, peppers, potatoes
What the hell are you doing!
What happened?
Why are you tilting it so suddenly for?
Everything splash on us!
- What the...
- So the Tokat kebab is better too?
Its no good learning
housework after you divorce,
...they should have raised you from
childhood. But no!
What our parents did?
"You sit boys, Remziye will help..."
- Who used this?
- What?
Who used this? You?
Why are you yelling?
Why would we use your stuff?
Did you use this? This was full...
So what?
Shoud we not wash our hands?
You used it as handsoap?
Well, it smells nice and
I used it...
Why dont you read, whats written
on it, this is a face wash lotion,
...do you think I would
bring soap from zmir?
Look, its Dani Schafer!
Do you have any idea
how much it costs?
How should I know?
Why did you put it by the soap stand then?
And I just used it...
Look, just dont use...
Girl what happened? Are you
out of your mind, what's your problem?
Yes dear, what's wrong?
What is it to you, Burak?
Has anyone asked your opinion?
What kind of an out of line maniac are you?
Bro, are we sure this is our sister?
There is a feeling called shame.
Heard before?
How do you speak poetically
even when youre mad?
- Im not mad, Im shocked.
- Wow, are you shocked?
Yeah, to the fact that youre my sister!
Oh poor thing!
Just stop choosing words wisely and
be yourself, you retard!
- Idiot!
- Such a shame.
Look, Burak may be your friend,
but he's also my guest.
- You can't treat him this way here!
- Is he really your guest?
Didnt you say that
he can stay at the hotel yesterday?
- You've really lost your mind!
- Stop arguing with this maniac!
- Look at me--
- Look at me!
Look at him, hes just like my father.
You really should be
locked in a madhouse!
Dont mind her,
dont you know this maniac?
Youll blow this guy too,
like you did to others.
Why do you care about guys
totally stranger to you!
Shut up please! Won't you just shut up!
I wont! You will shut up!
You will...
- Can I take this?
- No.
Can I take this?
Im sorry...
- OK.
- No, shame on me. Im so sorry.
- Will you forgive me Goji?
- Yeah.
Really...
Look, Im really sorry.
Its OK...
Really. I get it.
Tell me you forgive me.
OK.
Im very sorry Burak.
OK, dont cry. Please don't cry.
OK then. Take these off,
...you don't have to place all your stuff,
it's ridiculous.
And what with a towel!
We have towels here of course.
- Whats this?
- What?
Whats this?
It travelled around 13 ports.
- Wow...
- Do you know what kind of a drink is this?
What kind?
I thought we can drink this together
but I hesitated from Tahsin...
What?
We always drink this after funerals!
Really...
Youre such a silly! [Tokat accent]
Dont smoke that so much.
Your undereyes are black from it.
You should know the value of your health.
What is with her?
What bro?
What's going on with her?
Dont mind her,
she is probably on her period or something.
I dont know...
I cant say anything right now.
I think Ill come back
a few days later, but don't plan on it.
OK.
Oh look, Gulnaz handed it over
just as I was leaving.
- Whats this?
- Let's see.
Wow! Shes a legend about it!
Ill just eat this,
its already too much for you!
We couldnt visit them, such a shame...
No worries. I'll tell them
it was a short visit as a surprise.
- Invite them over to Izmir.
- Yeah... Ill eat more.
Its so delicious.
What are you doing man!
Take this.
I didnt close it properly.
Here you go.
Thanks, honey...
Wont you hand over it
to the baggage?
- No.
- It has already shut.
- Have a safe trip.
- Thanks.
Take care. Keep in touch.
NOTARY
Hey! Isn't that my dads car?
What's happened to it?
Yes, Ms. Remziye! Come with me.
See what secret business
your brother has run!
Now I know, why we didn't hear
our father's dead on time.
- Why are you yelling, man?
- How the hell can I not!
He stayed in hospital for days,
can you believe it?
- Be quiet!
- What do you mean quiet?
Calm down please!
Calm down? I should calm down?
Really?
How can you be so emotionless
and stone-cold?
Do you hear what I'm saying?
I can't believe this!
Come on... Am I not your brother?
Am I not your brother?
Huh?
Am I adopted or something?
Come on, Mr. Tahsin, let's hear
what my dad was doing in Ankara.
We tought he was in Amasya really...
Well, I thought he was in Amasya,
...but he has been in Ankara...
Come on, tell us why!
Right...
Dad wanted to see Uncle Kazim,
so they went to Ankara first,
...and then they dropped by Amasya
on the way back.
He insisted on seeing Uncle Kazim.
I called Dr. Saban, he let us.
He said change would do him good.
What did he say exactly?
Take your dad to night club,
...and it would be good for his heart
and bloodflow?
Did he say it or not?
Fuck you, Bekir...
What night club?
What night club, huh?
What night club, you ask!
He wanted to go to a night club
once in his life...
Well, well, well, Mr. Tahsin...
When it's come to talking, you brag about
customs and traditions...
How you brag so much...
Is it also custom to
take your father to night club? Huh?
Why would I take him for god's sake!
Did I take him to a night club?
Or this girl?
Well, they had already arranged it
with Uncle Kazim.
I didn't know about it.
What should I do,
reprimand him like a child?
Enough! Dad's dying has
nothing to do with all of this.
He only had scars and scratches,
hospitalized for two days,
...even tough the car was wrecked.
That's it!
Are we disputing over
why the food was burnt here?
Are we!
Have you lost your minds?
Shame on both of you!
Shame on you!
We'll talk about this
night club thing later.
What kind of trouble are you, man?
What the hell are you doing!
Have you no fear of God left inside?
- Don't you have any sense of shame?
- Bro! Bro!
- Fuck off, man! Fuck off!
- Stop bro, what are you doing?
That bastard tipped over his cart!
Your face is bleeding!
It's bleeding!
Stop for a while, stop...
- You are a pain in the ass!
- Have you no fear of God?
OK, OK, just come here...
Not enough he tips over the man's cart
but he attacks me!
Stop for God's sake!
- Look at the state the man is in...
- OK, calm down.
- Everything fell off the ground.
- Pick up these fruits!
We will, but your face is bleeding,
stop for a second.
Your face is bleeding, stop for a second.
Get the hell away from here!
Uncle, are you OK?
Come, come here.
OK, you come here.
A roll of a papertowel
is eighteen hand span.
First, seven spans, then three spans
are used from the roll.
- So, how much has left?
- Here you go, how many?
Eighteen minus seven equals ten.
Is it ten?
Bro?
- Ten? Pay attention.
- Eleven maybe...
Bro...
Brother, what happened?
- Nothing, nothing.
- Not important.
What do you mean nothing,
what happened to your face?
Nothing, don't worry son.
Don't you worry.
Come dear, it's nothing.
- Let's pack your bag. Come on.
- Nothing.
Is his homework done?
- Come on...
- Yes, it's done.
- Give me these.
- Come on, come.
- Come son, I'll get you dressed.
- Hi Gulnaz, are you at home?
If you are, wait by the door,
I'll pass him over.
OK, bye.
I'll watch you from the balcony
in the morning, OK?
OK.
- Is she close by?
- Yes she is.
- Say hi to all.
- Did you wear it? Come on...
- See you later, bye.
- See you later.
- See you.
- Be careful.
No, it's on my mind don't worry.
This time i'll get some rosehips too.
OK. Say hi to Berna.
OK, kisses to both of you.
Thank you, bye.
Bro, what happened really?
- What?
- Did you fight or something?
Girl are you crazy,
why would I punch my own brother?
Do you think I lost my mind?
I don't know, you were fighting
when we were children.
When I saw them he was fighting already.
- Who?
- Our brother...
Do you remember Hilmi?
What do people call that?
- Fruit seller.
- Fruit seller.
- His apricots were scattered around...
- Really?
Poor thing...
So our brother wanted to pay for all of it.
And he fought with other man.
Do you think I lost my mind,
how can I hurt my own brother?
Yasin Look, stop being
so hard on our brother.
- God...
- Don't God me!
Looking after dad, the divorce...
Better if he was run over by a truck!
- You treat him like he killed our father!
- Did you see the car?
Did you see the car?
It's wrecked.
I don't get how they
came out of it alive.
He could have died there...
So our brother is responsible for this?
He said come, we'll have a little chat.
If he sat in the back seat
nothing would happen to him.
He was speeding too...
Yasin, I can die
before I go to Izmir,
- Our lives are not guaranteed.
- Is that the same thing?
You're loading all the responsibility
to him, don't do it.
He took care of him
when we were not around.
We saw him rarely, that's why
he seemed sweet to us.
Why I can't come here?
Do you think
I didn't want to visit dad?
I'm working,
I have many things to do.
Are you the only one who's working?
You think our brother's biggest dream
was selling table cloths?
As if he didn't want to
go to the music school,
...you're the only one
who's working, aren't you?
Do you think you're the chosen one?
Of course, God created us
as ordinary people,
...made him a craftsman,
and me a salesclerk,
...but as the lucky genius of our family,
you became an artist, an author right?
He was the one
who supported your education.
If he hadn't sent you money,
if hadn't sacrificed himself,
...would you be able to talk
so much shit, I wonder!
Stupid!
How would you go around saying
bullshits like "concept", "sensorial"?
- You're a real idiot.
- It's you.
- No, you are.
- Idiot, moron!
No, you're a moron. You sound
so stupid sometimes...
You would be shocked at how stupid
you sound if you hear yourself.
Retard!
Didn't he support your education too?
Didn't he support you?
Why didn't you go to college, huh?
Why?
What happened?
It's not that easy, right?
It's not that easy.
One needs determination.
- So you're determined?
- Yes I am.
- Of course, I'm determined.
- Umm.
And dont let him show off about it,
like "I supported him".
He's covering his own weakness
on my account.
- You're enabling him.
- Did you achieve all you have
- ...by your determination?
- Yes, indeed.
- What did you achieve?
- What?
You wrote a shitty novel
and published it
- ...with your own money.
- Let's hear this.
Do you think you become someone
when some retards said
..."oh it's so good, such good"?
Huh?
I read your book.
I lied to you, I read it in detail.
It's trash.
It's complete bullshit.
There's nothing that reminded me
of you. It's just ridiculous.
Fuck my opinion,
we have a customer, she's an author
...and she has many books
not published by herself.
I read them all.
Anyways, she said to me,
..."Sude I read Yasin's book,
but I didn't like it,
...because it's like
cheap internet poetry."
Maybe like my dad's poem
on his profile.
But my opinion doesn't matter,
she is an author.
So my work seems
pretentious to you, right?
Yes, it seems fake
and everyone thinks that way.
My work is fake, is it? Dear "Sude"?
Did you ever look at the mirror?
- You retard!
- No, you retard!
I'm sick of this name OK? I'm sick of it!
I promised myself, OK?
- I swore to change my fate. OK?
- Well done.
Do I have to live with
that stupid name all my life?
I'm happy with myself, look,
- I'm so happy with myself you moron!
- Great, congratulations...
Don't congratulate me!
I don't tell people to start a thread
about me on the internet.
It's true, right?
I didn't read it but...
I'll check this out because I have to
see your face while I read.
Wait I'll find it.
I'll find and read it.
"The author I knew from
Tokat Anatolian High School."
"I don't know, who the hell is this."
Such a shame.
"Talented author of
Like You Will Die Tomorrow."
"I read the book twice."
Try harder,
they don't get it the first time.
"I had distinct pleasure
everytime I read.
He will be so successful one day.
Master, dont deprive us of your work."
Bimbo-ham Lincoln.
What the fuck!
Bimbo-ham Lincoln read my books
and told me not to stop writing.
I'll tell you what...
Are you still in touch with Efe?
Huh?
Did I say something wrong?
Answer me bro, don't be mad at me.
Nothing to get upset about here.
Enough with you neverending quarells.
As if I get along with you...
You thank God you are hurt.
We have some talking to do.
Don't ever think that it's over.
That case is not closed.
And yes, I can't
get along with her too.
Because she's living in the same
insanity for years.
- She is getting better though...
- No, she is not.
She is the same person as her fifteen
years old self, she never changed.
Not that much.
Don't you remember
what she was doing back then?
What was she doing?
She was crying three days on a week...
She wanted to marry with
her fifteen years older teacher,
Now she wants to marry with
this loser.
What?
Are you surprised?
You think you're too smart.
She is engaged.
It hasn't been a year since they met,
but bam, they are engaged.
Really? When has all this happen?
It just has.
That guy showed me the photos.
They look like engagement photos,
...like they introduced each other
to their families.
How? Who's her family?
It's the most weirdest part.
Your sister found a fake mom,
like she found a fake name before.
That guy doesn't know
even our mother has died.
He thinks that women is dad's ex-wife.
She just twisted all the information.
Oh God... Then shouldn't that fake mom
also be at the funeral?
Bro, why do you insist on
being so blind to this situation!
The problem is, our sister is not normal.
She is abnormal!
She lied about everything.
She said shit like they had a messy divorce
and they are not in touch...
She lied her ass off.
And I couldn't say anything.
How can I say that
my sister is a big fat lier?
Such craziness!
But why are you telling me
these now, not before? Huh?
So you looked at the photos
and all thatasyousaid...
Oh God!
And you...
Why are you ratting on your sister?
Huh?
Why are you ratting on her?
You were like this,
when you were little.
How many times dad throw
my cigarettes to the Shitty Creek?
You quit smoking because of me.
You should be grateful.
Say what you want to say.
Just say it!
Girl, you are not in Izmir.
Those jerks will learn not to look!
Don't be mad at me,
I'm not saying anything bad.
Just listen to me.
Just beware.
- Done.
- Is it over my dear? Let me check.
Write a story about your family and
support your story with visuals.
Your story will be posted
on our "Family Stories" board.
One day, Mert finished his homework
and went out to play football.
After his third score, he saw
his older aunt speaking on the phone.
He ran to her for a hug.
His aunt didn't see him,
she was checking her phone.
In the evening, Detective Mert
listened to his dad's room secretly.
His dad was speaking on the phone,
...telling someone what Mert's grandfather
did withpesticide...
Brother Tahsin!
What?
What?
We'll come back to this.
- Honey, take your stuff.
- What happened?
Put them in your bag.
Come on, dear... Hello Gulnaz...
His homework is done, what
should we do? OK, I'm bringing him.
OK, bye.
- Let me take him.
- No, no.
She shouldn't see you
in this state.
- I don't think she cares about me.
- Come on dear.
Come on.
- Thank you my dear Remo...
- You're welcome.
- Is the homework all done?
- Yes.
Take this.
Monday's homework also done.
See you later.
- Honey, come in...
- My mom made pumpkin dessert.
I have to pack my luggage,
maybe next time. Bye...
Yes Brother Tahsin, let's talk
about this pesticide thing.
What now? What pesticide?
Tell us the full story until
no little detail has been left out!
Come on!
You think you don't have a part in it?
Did you forget the phone call
you had with dad last Tuesday?
Yes? So what?
You quarrelled, right?
Yes, he was furious with me for
not attending Hamdi's wedding.
That's the one.
Who knows what shit
you told him that he got so sad.
Then, he just swallowed it
when he was at home.
What's going on here?
What the hell is happening?
Fuck me!
Why do I keep asking to you,
after all, I am not your brother!
I am the son of a bitch!
I should just get the fuck out of here!
Enough is enough!
Do whatever the hell you like!
And don't tell me any stuff,
I don't want to know.
Now, I am bugging off.
Don't ever contact me again!
Weve had enough of your crazy shit!
Such weird attitude
since your childhood...
What the hell is your problem?
You have grown to be a woman,
don't be a child anymore. Grow up!
Shut up, you don't know any shit.
Good God What should we know?
Huh?
Good for you,
you blame the past for all,
...anyhow we'll tolerate your insanity
and show endless compassion to you!
We had the same shitty history
with you.
But we've never pitied ourselves
like you.
- It's not what you think.
- Sure, you know everything right!
We're your older brothers,
- ...maybe we know something too, right?
- Cut it out!
You might ask me
why he got so upset...
Ask you? I would have asked dad
if I could.
Why? No chance that I told him
something crucial?
Was he get upset for nothing?
Do whatever the fuck you want.
- Sit down!
- Just let me go.
Sit down! Tahsin,
go and bring the phone.
You've recorded Dad's
conversations for the trial, right?
- Sit down!
- I don't want to!
Grab the phone, it probably recorded
our conservation too...
- Have a seat, you will sit down.
- I don't want to hear.
- You will sit down.
- I don't want to hear of anything.
Listen to this!
I walked down the hill today
With my golden churn
I walked down the hill today
With my golden churn
I couldn't see my beloved
I see every day
OK, forget about it.
Dad insisted I should be at
Hamdi's wedding.
I told him I would never.
He gave me the same old speech
like you...
Why wouldn't I come,
our hometown, our relatives...
How I denied them blah blah blah...
I said to him, "Dad, I don't like that man
you're inviting me to his wedding.
In fact, I hate him!
If mom was alive
you could have asked her 'why'.
But I wish she had told you
long before you had to ask."
Why didn't you tell me?
You used to tell me everything
when you were a kid.
Didn't you tell me the other day
that I was still a child?
I'm 34 years old
but still a child,
...but, I'm mature enough to tell
what I went through when I was six, right?
Bro...
Bro stop...
Bro...
Taso?
Ill fuck your "Taso"!
- Bro, bro... Leave it to me!
- Fuck you!
- What are you doing kids!
- You asshole!
Nehir, Nehir, come here!
Don't! Please
What are you doing in front of
the girl? Please!
- Tahsin, dont!
- Let me...
No, kids! Don't...
- Please, what are you doing
- Bro, bro
Let go of me!
- Leave him, bro!
- You prick! You asshole!
Leave him please, don't...
Let go of me!
You asshole!
Fatty bagels! Fatty bagels!
Fatty bagels! Fatty bagels!
Fatty bagels! Fatty bagels!
Fatty bagels! Fatty bagels!
Fatty bagels! Fatty bagels!
Sorry for your loss.
Losing a sibling is a heavy feeling...
May he rest in peace.
May he rest free of guilt
on the other side.
We wish you indurance...
My sweet child, why dont you
eat your halva? Have some...
So many people have lived and passed
Should we arrange another car?
I called Caner for one more.
Gulnaz...
Oh my dear...
Aunt Fatma why my halva is shapeless?
Be silent honey, eat it.
My brother...
MORGUE - FUNERAL SERVICES
When i was in school
and asked for extra money...
He'd say, "I can't my son,
it's for your future."
That's future for you!
You save up all that money,
then they tie your chin,
...and spray you with rose water.
What kind of talk is that!
What have I said?
It's between me and my dad.
Mind your own business.
Give me.
When did you find out?
Immediately.
I think he called
me just before you.
So, he called you first?
Yasin, how am I supposed to know?
What does it matter?
He can't call us both at once, can he?
How did he sound?
As usual. Calm.
Why are you asking?
I don't know...
He sounded a bit too calm to me,
...as if he didn't take it by surprise.
Yasin, you and your paranoias...
When has our brother Tahsin
revealed his true feelings
...that he would now?
That's just the way he is.
Does everyone have to live everything
so dramatically like you do?
- This hodja has a beautiful voice.
- Yes he does, mashallah.
He is the one leading the funeral tomorrow.
God bless him.
See you Taso.
See you Hamdo.
- My condolences.
- God bless you. Thank you.
- Our condolences.
- God bless us all.
Look at me.
Is that mascara on your eyes?
My God! I have
the worlds weirdest sister.
Mom's funeral was
more crowded, wasn't it?
Don't you think mom's funeral
was more crowded?
Look at her!
So rehearsed!
She practiced how to wail and everything...
Nonsense, cut the rubbish
Hey Auntie!
How did the show go?
Don't mind her auntie,
you know she's an alien.
No, don't say that to my girl.
What an ancient computer
Look at that for God's sake!
What high class moves...
Lemon juice on the apple, eh?
- Have one, you'll love it.
- Yeah, whatever
His profile is logged in.
I'm on his page.
Come here bro,
come and take a look.
- What is it?
- Come here.
Never forget,
...for every wound you caused,
you'll be called.
Hey Mr. Ethem...
Here is Tokat's pride.
Oh my daddy...
You and dreams in my wonderland.
Hand over my reading glasses.
You and dreams in my wonderland.
Just after dusk,
before a farewell to my bed.
Closed my eyes in a blink.
As if I am in a wonderland.
Dont laugh, why are you laughing?
No, it's nice...
You sprang to my mind!
I thought about you again.
You know, daydreaming is my habit.
Once again, I dreamt.
For a moment,
I felt like a possessed lover.
E..
And below is a picture
of a rose and a pen.
What a picture!
Oh my daddy...
Oh my!
Full of comments too...
You've gifted us such nice poetry.
Never stop writing,
never ever let your pen dry up.
I hope our friendship is a
never ending one.
Wow Ethem, you are really something, huh!
My daddy
He was such a funny man.
Tell me about it
My father was really funny!
So funny...
It's a shame you couldn'twitness it!
Brother, it's funny.
Yeah right, so funny!
He gave your brother
hell of a time...
Make up your mind.
Just this morning,
you stopped us talking behind his back.
What hell of a time?
Don't exaggerate.
Sure.
Remember the day
at Uncle Muhsin's yard?
But you won't remember though,
you were only 6 years old or so...
He beat the hell out of me that day!
He almost grabbed Hamdi,
...but Hamdi was smart
enough to get away.
No, I remember.
Yasin Pasha?
Whereabouts were you do you think, huh?
This smacky mouth Yasin Pasha...
He stood there, gulping peaches
when I took a good beating...
What business did dad
have in Amasya?
ETHEM CAVDAR IS AT AMASYA
Dad wanted to see the grove,
so Tahsin took him.
So you knew they went?
The doctor said
he shouldn't get tired, right?
Did you take the sick man on a trip?
How irresponsible of you!
Dad himself asked to go.
I'm talking, don't interrupt!
- Why shouldn't I interrupt!
- I'm talking here.
Dad wanted to soak his feet
in the Shitty Creek there.
- No reason to be mad at my brother.
- Am I talking to you?
- Stop yelling!
- Dont make me yell then!
Dont make me yell!
Maybe he had a heart attack
because he was tired.
- What nonsense?
- What do you mean nonsense?
Why would you take
75-year-old man seriously?
He insisted on going,
what was I supposed to do?
Is that all, brother?
You have nothing else to add?
Do you do everything
Mert asks you to do? Last summer,
...the kid wanted to go to summer camp,
but did you let him go?
Why didnt you?
Didn't you say dad became juvenile
as he got older?
But no!
It's better to brag, isn't it?
You're taking care of two kids, eh?
- Good God!
- I said do not interrupt me!
If you were so interested,
...maybe you should have been here
to take care of him!
Huh? Yasin Pasha?
No use dropping by once a year.
My dad never called me
out on it, not once.
Youve never understood him,
...you couldn't get along with him.
Didn't you say this morning
he never send you money?
Now he's a thoughtful person, is he?
That's different.
Growing up in a poor family,
he had to learn to be prudent.
- What is it have to do with I said?
- Stop yelling!
Stop interfering!
Well, well...
The one far away is the precious one.
Would you come if he wanted you to?
He was aware he shouldnt
expect anything from you.
No... No Doctor!
You'd said...
Youd said no trips at all, right?
Am I wrong?
No. I know, it's not a long trip.
I assumed you advised no trips at all,
...thats why I needed
to confirm with you.
No I know, Doctor.
No doubt Tahsin
took good care of dad.
I was just confused, thats all.
OK, I get it.
Thank you for your time,
you must be on call.
We'll be in touch.
Thank you.
Thank you. Bye.
Who can leave his love
I cant
Who can leave his love
I cant
Leave my love
Walk belle walk
Let your hair swing
Open your vest, open
Let your
Diamond neck be seen
Come on son, you'll be late.
Eh?
No worries.
We worked so hard,
it will go great.
And you still have one more day.
OK, son?
OK, my brave boy.
I'll talk to her.
May God give you clarity of mind.
OK, be careful.
Give the phone to your mother.
Brother, you have failed to
smear the entire mirror!
Maybe you should spit on it directly!
Come on girl, leave me alone.
Hurry up, we have to stop by
my sons school too.
Stop it for God's sake.
Let's go.
All right.
Take mine too.
I'm done. Let's go.
Look, what I found...
Oh my!
Remember?
Remember, I couldn't find my number
on the list, then you found it.
We danced so hard,
the neighbors had hit
the wall to stop us.
Look, you marked it.
LIST OF ACCEPTANCE
TOKAT ANATOLIAN HIGH SCHOOL, 1997
What the hell!
Rustu, Ilker, Hogh,
Uche, Erol, Kemalettin,
Oguz, Aykut, Bulent, Bolic.
The epic team!
Good job!
Seems we brainwashed her.
She begged to play football with us.
Shall we?
You serious?
Yes...
Stop it
What, are you scared?
Huh?
Come on.
Are you really serious?
Come, let's see what you got.
You granny!
No way can you beat me,
you'll weep hard!
- I'll show you the granny!
- I will make you cry!
I will make you cry!
You ready?
Huh?
Is the pen working?
Small dots will be enough.
Its not working.
Is it? OK then.
- I'm white's.
- OK.
We could draw for it
but I'll be white's anyway.
I spared these for you, take it.
Starting.
OK.
My turn.
Oh my!
You cant hit the same one twice.
But Ive passed forward,
it didn't work.
Yasin, where is the car key?
- Bro, it's not like that.
- Wait, OK.
I forgot my charger in the car.
Where are the keys?
My turn.
My turn.
- Yasin car key--
- Score!
- You are cheating!
- Im not!
What the...
Where are the keys,
I need my charger!
Are you out of mind?
We're playing a game here!
- Ive asked ten times!
- There, go get it.
Ask like a human being.
As if you hear.
See? The fans threw a foreign object
in the field.
Look now. Shit!
What did you say?
- Yes... Bro
- What did you say?
Ertugrul...
Come in Nehir, my dear...
Come on in
Come...
What is this?
My grandma made it for you,
she said it's your birthday in two days.
But its my gift.
Thank you.
Do you want to take a look?
Come on, get it...
- This one has such a pretty color.
- Have you ever put on a lipstick?
Where?
I did for Mert's
circumcision ceremony.
They also put blue glitter me.
Why didn't you come?
Come to me.
Happy birthday auntie
Happy birthday auntie Remziye,
Happy birthday to you
Thank you.
Shall we put some on?
I CAN'T QUIET FIGURE OUT!
THEY MIGHT BE FIDDELING WITH INHERITANCE.
THEY'RE HIDING SOMETHING FROM ME.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO LET ME HAVE
THE WALNUT GROVE, YOU'LL SEE...
WHAT? I DON'T THINK SO MY GOJI...
We are going to Auntie Sidika
tonight, right?
No, I can't come,
We agreed we'd go...
We did, but I have to work.
You're here,
can't you give a break?
I can't.
Yasin, don't piss me off,
she made preparations for you.
Look, the world
doesn't evolve around you.
You'll see as you age.
You should care for people back.
You should not be selfish.
Selfishness What selfishness?
Being selfish is not
prioritizing your work.
It's about demanding
more rights than others.
I'm not selfish,
I don't pretend to be self-sacrificing
like many other people, thats all.
And what's more...
How could a laborer of a better society
be a selfish person? Huh?
I think you're the real selfish one...
Not only you dont fight for anything,
but you accept anything established.
You are the selfish one here.
You and your lectures!
You're unaware of your closest,
is the society up to you?
Your oldest friend was near death.
He needed money for his treatment.
You went to Germany
for vacation those days.
Huh?
Did it ever occur to you to use
the holiday money for him?
Salaam, Taso.
- Salaam, Sermet.
- How are you doing?
- Thank you.
- Here, have some plums.
- Thanks.
- Its from our own grove.
- Mashallah!
- Good sales then, see you.
Good sales to you too.
- These are very popular.
- Yes.
Would you like these, instead?
Hmm...
- What other colors have you got?
- Here you go. They are all here.
Dont mess them up.
I can check from the layers.
- Blue if you like?
- They are beautiful.
Messi get the match underway
from the kick-off...
- Oh my...
- Goal!
The referee points to Messi
and shows him a red card.
Messi objects...
Welcome, dad.
As Messi continues his objections,
a fan enters the field...
Were waiting for the referee
to pause the match, but
Son, you've sweated.
You'll catch cold.
Yasin passed Messi,
once he hits, he will score...
- He is approaching...
- Let me.
He is approaching.
Oops sorry! Just an accident...
Yasin! You son of a donkey!
Bro, don't...
You got it on my head man!
We still have this?
Yes we do.
Look at that.
Look at this handsomeness...
So you have only one tooth, do you?
What happened to you later in your life?
You were so cute!
I'm still cute man,
mind yourself!
You probably beat me up!
What's with the antenna!
What a coincidence!
Look at that...
Which region's folk dance
costume is that?
Erzurum.
My brother is an artist who
has proven his mastery in break dance.
What say you brother?
A dancer or dancing artist?
This wedding was
- ...well, it was Hamdi's
- It was Hamdis.
Look. Remember how
gorgeous he was?
- I do. He was a James Dean!
- Also remember how nasty he was?
- Very!
- How can I not?
Efe
Do you ever get to see Efe?
No, I hardly ever see you.
Aw, I am going to eat this girl!
Dearest
Here, she never let me kiss her.
She was a pain-in-the-ass!
- Look at those eyes...
- Hazy.
Why is this here?
Wow!
My hottest years!
- Put it away.
- Wait...
Wait a minute So I nearly died,
don't be a drama queen.
Wait girl, let's have
a look at my hottest years.
Leave it, man.
Poor you
Brother...
Two yellow roses
on my grave, OK?
- What the hell?
- Brother
- Come on Yasin
- Shh, silence...
- The guy lacks brains.
- Yasin!
Take care of my sister, please.
Never leave each other.
I'm leaving, but I will
live in your hearts.
Brother, I am going
but I will never die.
I am always inside you, my brother!
- An idiot he is.
- My beautiful brother.
You've really gone crazy.
You've lost your sense of humor.
Then be serious about it.
You're so boring.
This Tugce just had to tilt her head
everytime her photo was taken.
Which Tugce?
This one.
Wait. Why is Tugce in our family album?
Why do we have her photo?
I came on to her in prep school.
Tugce? Fat ass Tugce!
What was wrong with her ass, man?
It was a nice ass.
You are such a schmuck!
Did you put her photo here?
- Why would I?
- Did you?
Dont be ridiculous.
Hold on.
Good evening, Ms. Ezgi...
How may I help you?
Yes...
I did check--
Sure.
Sure, abroad Yes.
My apologies.
I'm really sorry,
I'll take care of it when I am back.
Good even-
- Whats wrong?
- Idiot!
- Whats wrong?
- Thats what she is.
First, you offer your condolences.
You don't cut to work straight away.
Fuck your sense of responsibility!
- Fuck your shoe sales!
- Whats wrong?
Idiot, she is not human!
I was wondering
when Uncle Remzo would join us.
There you go, he has arrived.
Yo!
Uncle Remzo...
...grab a beer for me, will you?
I'm burning inside. Come on!
Aw crazy boy, you are going to
bring the house down on us!
Bring me my beer,
I will be driving to the town.
Did the chickens have eggs, girl?
Bring them and well have
plenty of scrambled eggs!
Let me kiss your sweet cheeks!
She swore so bad!
I missed her language.
Bro, take a shot.
- Not so fast!
- Really?
I'm crossed with both of you.
At you and at you, too.
- Do not touch me.
- Undo it.
OK, we are good now
Now you, undo it!
- No, I wont.
- Undo it.
You smelly feet!
I really hate both of you sometimes!
Do not do that!
Under your roof
There can be no unpleasant feelings
In the presence of wisdom,
Worries all fade away
Here is better than
everywhere else for us
My school, my dear school,
Is the home of joy and wisdom
We would like to thank
Dilara Atilgan from
4B Class for this

I am gonna marry you
But are you gonna marry me?
I am gonna marry you
But are you gonna marry me?
I am gonna marry you
But are you gonna marry me?
I am gonna marry you
But are you gonna marry me?
The cat shows up,
smells the man's foot,
then falls back, BOOM!
What a video that was!
What other videos are there?
Well, some other interesting videos.
Good sales, Mustafa.
Where have you disappeared to,
...you don't pick up my calls?
Arife and her decisions...
Now, she doesnt want a saloon wedding,
but a countryside wedding.
Thank god, Halil gave to
deposit payment back.
Well, well.
Handsome!
Will you forgive me?
- Youll sing for me at home, OK?
- OK.
- Is my aunty is there too?
- Yeah, she is.
They're looking at gowns together.
Taso...
Isn't that gown is
too revealing on the shoulders?
Hamdo, let her be.
She will only have one wedding.
She's not a senior widow like you are.
Wow!
How does it look daddy?
So beautiful darling.
Just like a princess.
- Where did you get your dress?
- From here.
My Nehir...
What beautiful poem that was,
you got me emotional.
Actually I wanted to read
'Animal Friends',
...but my teacher told me
to read the one about trees...
Animal Friends was too short anyways,
this one was longer, better.
But I like Animal Friends more.
Never mind honey.
Mashallah. May god let us
see her in a wedding dress.
In God willing.
She looks so much like her mom.
I realized the other day,
she looks exactly like Aysel...
May she rest in peace.
Amen.
Where on earth is he?
Call him. Its been so late.
His phone is on silence mode I think.
Hey, where are you?
We have painkillers at home.
Drink some water too.
Come on, get on your way already!
We are waiting here.
He hasn't sobered up, right?
How will Hilmi take care of
two stores for that long!
He has a headache.
Of course he does if he drinks like a mule!
Move your bag.
It's feeling so weird
to talk about this stuff now.
Weird yes, but it has to get done.
What the hell is this?
You are in a whole different world!
Which world are you in then?
What, you're searching about baggy-eyes.
You know why we're here?
- Why have we gathered, right?
- Why have you?
Youll ask another
for every question?
Is that what I'll do?
Did we grow up in
different families? Huh?
Us three, did we all
grow up in different families?
Didn't you ever learn anything
from your brothers?
Yes I have. Loads!
My beloved brother...
So you probably never remember that
...you constantly put me down
...because I was younger than you?
Huh? Remember?
Let's judge 12 years old me then, shall we?
Sue me then!
If books you've read didn't make
any impact, hell with it then!
Can I check your phone for a second?
- Hello. What can I get you?
- Mineral water, please.
Show us what you shared today
and how many likes you got...
You love serving yourself to others.
Like you don't!
What does it say on your profile?
A writer?
What am I? Grocer?
- How many books did you write?
- Oh wow!
You post your books and documantaries,
is that not serving yourself?
Let's see what you posted other than your
books and documentaries...
See... Take a look at yourself,
swelled with pride.
But it's your stupid scarf...
Look at this...
So he doesn't serve himself
but I do, huh?
Enough you both for god's sake!
I'm busy and already late.
There is no end to your quarrels.
If we can't sort this thing out
you will have to stay longer.
It's fine by me.
I'd like it.
OK bro, let's do what we have to do.
Well then...
That...
Nursery and walnut grove...
You each take one of this.
They have almost the same value.
Well, the store...
We can count in it
for the house in Turhal if you want.
But if you don't agree,
then we'll sell them and share between you.
What, no! Your years of business...
What will you do instead?
- Don't be ridiculous. No.
- No way.
Once dad's car is back from the service,
well add it to the equation.
Well, I have a question.
Dad gave you money to buy
your ex-wife Gulnaz's house.
So 300K at that time and
now is not the same thing, right?
What do you mean?
I mean...
Is it right to consider it
the same as nursery's value?
What?
Well, if we exchanged it to dollar,
...it would be three, five times more now.
But that's all water under the bridge.
Alright but...
I worked with dad,
...we made that 300K together.
If you want to fine tune everything,
this is a very difficult issue.
So should I not bought a house
for my son?
Gulnaz insisted about the boy
to have his own house.
Also dad wanted
this in the first place...
He was right.
He probably thought
you two would make up.
So all dad said was right?
He said so and case closed?
We don't have a mom,
who else should I be listening to?
He would do the same thing
if you had kids though.
Dad wanted you to take over the shop
and not go to collage, remember?
And you did exactly
what he wanted you to.
Those are all things from the past.
They should have been
divided all back then.
For instance I would publish my
second book and it would serve me right.
So you say a child and a book
are the same things, huh?
- No bro...
- They are.
- Did I say something like that?
- Of course, they're the same.
You chose to marry and have a kid,
he chose to write a book.
Our brother and Gulnaz
cared for dad for years,
...and maybe he wanted to gift
them for their efforts.
Since how long did dad need
constant care?
Alright, forget it.
You do what you want, OK?
- Come on, bro, don't.
- Let's do what you want, man.
Take it, please, bro.
Take it...
Don't mind her! She's talking rubbish.
You do whatever you find fit.
Dad didn't need
constant care, bla bla...
But what my brother and
Gulnaz did for him...
How they supported me
before I had a stable income...
How would we forget that?
Don't mind her bro, do what you want.
My Taso, I'm not saying it for the money.
When you said dad acted fairly,
I just objected to that, that's all.
I'm not criticizing you.
Alright...
Alright then...
Now then...
What about that tax thing?
Well...
Inheritance transaction and such things
have a tax payment.
You have to share the loads.
What? It has a tax payment of
some 3 or 5 percent, I don't know...
And that makes roughly 15-20K.
You have that much?
Are you asking me? I don't.
Neither do I.
Fine, then.
I'll figure it out.
Tahsin, may your dad rest in peace.
Forgive me, I was away
and couldn't attend the funeral.
Thanks. God bless you, Eyup.
- God bless our friends.
- Thank you.
Remember Remzo, our youngest?
We used to buy roasted chickpea dust
from your store.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- And this is our middle brother.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- He graduated from the university.
Now, he has a book
and shoots documentaries.
Documentaries? How nice!
It must be difficult
chasing animals in the mountains and all.
Documentaries are not only about animals.
Hmm...
So Eyup, did you travel
all by yourself?
By myself, my family is in Niksar,
making rose hips jam.
They handed me a lid
and ordered fifty of them.
So, Ive been searching for lids.
Nice. You take care.
Should be them.
Brother, see you soon.
Goodbye, see you.
Man, what is this manner of yours, ha?
What have I done?
How the hell is the man supposed to know?
Can't you just let it go?
Such manners of yours irritate me, too.
Is this your way of being
an antielitist like you always say? Is it?
Look, all these places were
in ruins before restorations.
Remo, put the phone down.
Youve been away for so long,
so raise your head and have a look.
How come you are so indifferent?
Are you sure you are from this city?
I'm on my own, confused
I will shed tears at
your absence all the time
Our frequent locations will ask about you
The burden of separation
will ruin me
Your hand, your skin, your husky voice
I will miss everything about you
Pull over.
Neither today nor tomorrow
I wont forget, God
Your name will always be on my lips
I swear
I will be offended by your absence
I will keep you in my heart
No one can leave the car
before singing this part.
I planted you in my hopes
I will reap with them
And I will love you tomorrow
Dont forget, forgotten ones
Never forget the forgetful
- OK, Im gone!
- Now, you can bug off wherever you like!
- Come on.
- Come on.
Good God...
Highlights I think.
A few shades lighter at the ends maybe.
- It would look nice, right?
- Yes, definetely.
You did the same for Nihal,
I like it on her.
Yes, her hair has really been nice.
Hello, is Seval here?
No, she is on vacation.
- To Kusadasi?
- Yes.
This stuff is really practical.
They won't fall off, right?
No, don't worry.
Remziye?
Is that you?
- Sermin!
- Yes...
No way!
- How are you?
- Im good, I cant believe this!
We last saw each other
at high school, right?
Shut up, we don't talk like that!
- How is it going?
- Good. How about you?
Fine, taking care of these two.
These gorgeous girls...
Are they yours?
Yes. Beyza and Seyma.
Beyza, Seyma
Look how pretty are you!
Come, sit on my lap.
Thank you so much.
- How many years apart are they?
- Just two.
You had them one after the other
in two years?
Her curly hair is exactly like yours.
Yes, the other one resembles her father.
I cant believe Ive seen you.
Are you getting ready for something?
- Whose wedding is it?
- Whose?
- Its Nihals.
- Give me a break!
I swear.
- So, you two are good now?
- Nope.
- What do you mean nope?
- Nope.
Why do you go to
the wedding then?
Because she came to mine.
Oh so you have to return her gold,
so sorry for you!
- You should come too.
- Not in a million years!
How may I help you?
Sorry to bother you...
Is Sude here?
Sude?
There's no one here called Sude.
You have any neighbors called Sude?
Neighbors
Well, not that I know of.
I see. Sorry to bother you.
Have a nice day.
You too.
I had my hair done like that
for your wedding, remember?
My mom said I looked like
aunties and no fit for me...
Well, we all loved buns that time.
- God! What nonsense...
- You can't run like us... You can't...
When you married so suddenly,
I thought I would be a spinster.
How could someone get married at that age!
I was an idiot.
- It was like you were escaping.
- Ridiculous.
- Which way do we go?
- This way. Let's cross the street.
- Come dear.
- Remziye!
- Right. That way.
- Remziye!
What! Nevzat?
What a coincidence! We also just
ran into each other.
- What, just now?
- Yes!
I just came for a haircut
but there is a queue,
...so I'm just taking a walk.
How are you Sermin?
Good, as you know it.
Kids and all...
Great! The younger one
is so much like you.
I succesfully made her
like myself, didn't I?
You did.
You haven't changed
one bit Remziye.
Me?
It's been 20 years,
how can I not...
Don't be ridiculous.
Of course your facial expression
seems more mature...
But...
No wrinkles at all.
Well, apple roots, cinnamon sticks I try...
Let's have some tea together.
We should leave,
my brothers are waiting.
We can eat something too...
She is going to a
wedding anyway...
- Is that so?
- Yes, wedding...
Well, alright then.
Happy to see you.
Us too.
- See you.
- See you.
- Run, hold my hand...
- Green light is on.
Look at god's work!
Hey, did you get excited?
Why would I?
It's been 20 years...
- Why would I get excited?
- Yeah, run... Run...
"You haven't changed one bit."
Apple roots, cinnamon sticks... My ass!
I have tons of creams,
a thousand liras each.
- How much?
- Yeap! A thousand liras.
Oh my god!
Whoa!
- Welcome home.
- Thank you.
Im starving.
Dinner is ready, right?
There you go!
What is it?
The pans were in the dishwasher...
So, he made the eggs in the pot.
Yasin Pashas weird ways!
My Pasha, was it difficult the wash one?
Put your bag down.
So was it difficult?
Just tell me...
Stop talking.
I've got things to do.
Important things, huh?
Who is it?
Sude?
My Goji!
My dear Goji... Happy birthday!
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday my love.
My condolences.
Thanks.
So sorry I couldn't
make it to the funeral.
No worries, its enough for you
to have thought of it.
I brought this for you.
Thank you brother.
Thank you.
You must be
Sude's musician brother, right?
Is that what she said?
Yes.
No really. Just trying...
Here Remo...
From me and your brother.
It was Yasins idea.
No way!
You guys can't be this lovely!
Look at her.
You ordered that one, too?
I couldnt spare it.
They're so sweet! Look...
Even this has
the same messy hair as I have.
They did such a good job at it.
Thank you so much.
Don't, I'm getting tickled!
Come here for one more.
You have to kiss me too, kiss me!
OK, here you go...
I did it.
Look at them.
- Burak, look at them.
- They are so nice, thank you.
Enjoy!
Can I wash my hands?
- Yes sure, come along.
- No no, I got it.
Come.
I have a question.
Go ahead.
So you dont like being named after granny,
I can understand that.
But come on, what is Sude?
What a pretentious name it is.
You might have had Zeynep,
Aysegul or Muge.
Why not? What the hell is Sude?
- Is it nice?
- Is Sude nice?
- Is it nice?
- Is Sude nice?
You dont like it? Let's call this one
Muge then, and this one Aysegul.
Is that nice?
Let me change my
name to Berkecan then.
Berkecan Cavdar,
a proper name for an author...
Mine is not like that.
I mean Yasin avdar...
It's up to him, right Muge?
He can do whatever he wants, right honey?
Whoa whoa whoa!
Remo, listen, it is not right.
Where will he stay?
Here, with us obviously.
Where else?
What do you mean?
He arrives uninvitedly,
we didn't even know he was coming!
I didn't either. Did I
invite him? He just popped up.
He came for you! You can't
act like you have nothing to do with it!
Did I invite him!
Good God...
Anyway, I'll just take him
to Gungors hotel.
You'll call and invite him
for breakfast.
Nonsense! He came
all this way, it would be so rude.
- He will stay here.
- Quiet Hold on a sec.
Look, this man is
a known shopkeeper in town.
It's a small town, there will be talk.
There is no need.
Just hear my modern, civilized,
radical brother saying!
What rubbish!
Sleep with him in Moms bed,
if you like!
You do that with your girlfriend,
I won't.
I'd do if I want.
Wait a minute, we're talking.
This is my house, too!
Right, but you are the youngest.
Youngest?
I'm 34 years old for God's sake.
I am sick of this!
- OK.
- Then stop acting like a child!
Get out of my way...
Besides, you are still younger than us.
Hold on, let's not argue with her,
...let him stay tonight,
...and tomorrow we'll
take him out for kebab. OK?
No need to argue.
Take him out for kebab?
OK then, he can sleep with me tonight!
Let him know!
OK. As long as
he doesnt sleep with me...
My Goji...
This time well have
separate beds.
For sure.
How else would it be...
I'm fine this way.
Is this straight?
Hold on...
By the way, your brothers are so friendly.
Indeed.
Remo!
Yes, brother.
No milk left?
There is the regular one,
we ran out of lactose-free.
You got a stomachache or what?
Forget it. Never mind.
Give it here.
- What?
- Let me do it.
To here or there?
I have a question
Why are they calling you Remo?
My second name is Remziye.
My grannys name.
FORTY STAIRS
FANZINE OF TOKAT ANATOLIAN HIGH SCHOOL
1996, DECEMBER
TALKING ABOUT INSANITY
WRITER: YASIN CAVDAR
Oh, it's nice.
So Burak, let us know you a little.
Tell us what do you eat, what do you drink,
who do you belong to...
Lets do some interrogation.
Well, sure.
Where should I start...
Start wherever you like.
Well, let me put it this way...
I have a small shop
in the center of Izmir.
It's like a showcase for me.
A store for customers.
Actually, I am an agricultural exporter.
I export goji berry.
- Koji berry?
- Goji berry.
Goji berry.
What is that?
Goji berry is a plant, a fruit.
It's like strawberry...
It's mostly used in cosmetics
and pharmaceutics.
It grows all over the world,
...but new in Turkey.
Modestly, I'm one of the pioneers,
along with my army friend Akhif.
I gave him the idea by the way.
How nice.
Well...
How did you two meet with Remz--
I mean Sude?
Sude and I...
Well...
[Tokat accent] One night,
I had a very important meeting.
And it was rainy
like you wouldn't believe it.
I escaped to Serdar's parfumery,
...and saw this girl picking perfume
by the stairs.
The way you speak
The moment someone arrives in Tokat,
they are from Tokat.
What? Are you from here too?
No, I am not. I wish I was.
When I grew up in Malatya,
we had neighbours from Tokat.
That's how I learned the tongue.
- You know what...
- Well...
- No no, you first.
- No, please...
I saw something on your arm...
A tattoo.
What does it mean?
Is it S?
S for Silly [Tokat accent].
Come on
No bro...
It's a birthday present for Sude.
Is it permanent?
Well
As permanent as she is in my life.
Here. OK.
- We need one more chair, bro.
- Here we have another one.
Hey, you are glittering!
Shall we also buy
some crispies, please?
What is crispy?
When did the 500-year-old bagel
become crispy?
Bro don't be weird!
Your sister is from Izmir and
her mom is from Thessaloniki.
Her maternal line of descent
goes back to Thessaloniki.
She is of European descent!
Come. What took you so long?
I searched for a lactose-free milk.
How did you keep that in your mind?
Even I did forget. Thank you.
Not at all.
The spoon
What? The green one?
No, not that one.
One is enough.
Murat, hand me the knife from there.
Knife... Here it is, bro.
Burak...
Please excuse my brother.
He has such a poor memory of names.
Oh I'm so sorry,
I'm really puzzled these days.
The name of the cheese reads Murat,
so I was confused.
Not at all, brother
This is Sulusokak Street.
- Its all renovated though.
- It is.
- Or its been. It was nothing like this.
- No, far from it.
This area has a story,
but its skipping my mind now.
If I knew youd be coming,
I would have checked before.
You tell us, if you remember.
Me? Of course, I do.
You will too, just listen.
Look at that corner ahead.
That is a crucial spot
for Tokatian history.
It is the corner where Yasin Pasha
was caught by Dad kissing Demet Sultan.
Wow! I'd forgotten about that...
Dad left the mosque and
he is not a happy one that day...
Anyway, he calmed down afterward.
He had calmed down already.
Thank god for that!
But Demet was such a sweety.
- She really was.
- Where is she now?
She had a mole here
I loved it!
My brother is fond of moles.
On chins, necks... Wherever really!
- He has such refined tastes.
- One should have unique tastes.
Sure.
You You also have unique tastes
Because I am your sister.
Wherever you find a dark, swarthy guys...
My sister is there.
- But
- Hold on a sec, what was his name?
- The boy in elementary school?
- Whose?
Get back.
Or was he in secondary school?
A brownish boy...
- Nevzat from Malatya.
- Thats him, Nevzat from Malatya.
But I've really improved myself.
For example, the forehead.
It is an important matter.
You put your hand over,
...the best one is four fingers
and slightly larger.
- You see?
- I see.
I almost missed the princess,
fortunately, I lost my hair.
And the smell
He should smell like freshly baked
Tokat scones. So good.
You have no shame?
Remember, I am your elder brother.
Look, this corner.
That famous corner!
Here here...
Im not comfortable you sitting your backs
towards this amazing view
Youre like a tourist, enjoy it.
We see this all the time.
You said you didnt come here
for years, maybe you miss this?
I glanced for a while and
realised I hadn't miss it that much.
Umm, jokes and all,
you picking all the points huh?
- I havent played my winning card yet.
- Umm, I'm curious.
The soup is great though,
such a summer soup.
Now...
So if I may...
I guess I deserve a signature.
Wow...
Come on, really?
LIKE YOU WILL DIE TOMORROW
YASIN CAVDAR
- Your pen...
- Oh come on...
Well, you really played it, bravo.
Wow, you already read this,
you even got some lines underlined.
In three days.
Asim is my favorite character.
Resembles me a little bit.
And the story about the hospital,
its incredible, incredible!
I mean you know better, some authors
make this overly emotional, almost cheesy,
...but I enjoyed it a lot.
I cant describe how...
Thanks, you made me so happy,
and surprised too.
What was your name?
Mahmut Tuncer!
Then I'll go with Mahmut Tuncer!
Thank you...
Wow!
I love it...
Here you go...
Thank you so much.
Dear Burak, eating this kebap
is a form of art...
- ...and Ill teach this to you.
- Wow, wow, wow...
- Are you ready?
- Im ready.
Professor Yasin has spoken!
- You teach if you want.
- No no, this is your profession...
Look Im removing the meat,
Ill come back to it later.
Take the aubergine...
Wait sir, Ill catch you up.
Hurry up take it, come on...
- I did.
- Split it like this.
- I did...
- OK go on...
Watch me, see?
Do the same.
Oh, wow...
See? Look...
Now, a spoon of tomato from there...
Bro, give him some tomatoes...
- Put the tomato on it...
- Wait a second...
- Here you go...
- Hes so slow...
Take a pepper.
Pepper...
Place it to the plate but don't touch it.
Let it be for a while.
- Let it be where?
- Pepper should stay on the side,
...it will rest.
Now take the potato.
Take one potato and put it on.
Garlic...
I'm fine without garlic.
- Sorry?
- What did you say?
I'm OK without garlic.
Can you repeat it?
Let me take one.
Bro, give him some garlic.
Look at her hazel eyes
She has the morning light on her face
She put a knife of sadness in her chest
She sings sadly in her nest
She flies sadly into the sky
She sings sadly in her nest
She flies sadly into the sky
Bravo.
Praise your voice and soul.
Friends, this is the last song of
our concerts first act.
It should end in high tempo.
We can speed this up a bit,
we can be more cheerful.
Hello?
Yes, Im listening.
Come here.
I see
This place seems like a historical one.
Is it the final decision?
Yes, I used to work with them,
...but things didnt work out smoothly.
Yes.
Thank you anyway, goodbye.
- What happened?
- Nothing.
Look...
Do you remember this place?
This is the upper side of the road we past.
- We should go to the museum one day.
- What?
- We should go to the museum.
- Sure.
- Let's go on this way.
- Okay.
I'm gonna show you some place there.
You'd love it.
The tea is really good...
Thank you.
Bros tea is the best. Hes a craftsman,
he knows this tea business.
God bless your hands.
I guess much better with the
fresh water out here.
Sure, that also has an affect.
You are little drowsy.
Yeah, all that sun and bathhouse...
- Welcome Hamdi...
- What are you up to Taso?
- Find, and you?
- Same here.
- Good evening.
- Welcome.
Thank you.
Peace be with you, groom.
- Peace be upon you, welcome.
- Thank you.
- I have to leave.
- Sit for some tea?
I really have to go, I promised Nehir.
I bought her a model castle,
we will build it together.
- Castle?
- Yes...
I dont want to get roasted,
good evening.
- OK then, so your night is long.
- You bet it is.
- Give my best to auntie.
- Okay, thanks.
- Hell build a castle?
- Hes so sweet, we love him.
- He looks like Super Mario.
- Yeah, he really does!
- He makes his own yoghurt?
- Yoghurt?
No, our aunty makes it.
Everyone does their own goods in
this city, it always have been like this.
If we came here on July,
...you would taste really fresh
tomatoes, aubergines, peppers, potatoes
What the hell are you doing!
What happened?
Why are you tilting it so suddenly for?
Everything splash on us!
- What the...
- So the Tokat kebab is better too?
Its no good learning
housework after you divorce,
...they should have raised you from
childhood. But no!
What our parents did?
"You sit boys, Remziye will help..."
- Who used this?
- What?
Who used this? You?
Why are you yelling?
Why would we use your stuff?
Did you use this? This was full...
So what?
Shoud we not wash our hands?
You used it as handsoap?
Well, it smells nice and
I used it...
Why dont you read, whats written
on it, this is a face wash lotion,
...do you think I would
bring soap from zmir?
Look, its Dani Schafer!
Do you have any idea
how much it costs?
How should I know?
Why did you put it by the soap stand then?
And I just used it...
Look, just dont use...
Girl what happened? Are you
out of your mind, what's your problem?
Yes dear, what's wrong?
What is it to you, Burak?
Has anyone asked your opinion?
What kind of an out of line maniac are you?
Bro, are we sure this is our sister?
There is a feeling called shame.
Heard before?
How do you speak poetically
even when youre mad?
- Im not mad, Im shocked.
- Wow, are you shocked?
Yeah, to the fact that youre my sister!
Oh poor thing!
Just stop choosing words wisely and
be yourself, you retard!
- Idiot!
- Such a shame.
Look, Burak may be your friend,
but he's also my guest.
- You can't treat him this way here!
- Is he really your guest?
Didnt you say that
he can stay at the hotel yesterday?
- You've really lost your mind!
- Stop arguing with this maniac!
- Look at me--
- Look at me!
Look at him, hes just like my father.
You really should be
locked in a madhouse!
Dont mind her,
dont you know this maniac?
Youll blow this guy too,
like you did to others.
Why do you care about guys
totally stranger to you!
Shut up please! Won't you just shut up!
I wont! You will shut up!
You will...
- Can I take this?
- No.
Can I take this?
Im sorry...
- OK.
- No, shame on me. Im so sorry.
- Will you forgive me Goji?
- Yeah.
Really...
Look, Im really sorry.
Its OK...
Really. I get it.
Tell me you forgive me.
OK.
Im very sorry Burak.
OK, dont cry. Please don't cry.
OK then. Take these off,
...you don't have to place all your stuff,
it's ridiculous.
And what with a towel!
We have towels here of course.
- Whats this?
- What?
Whats this?
It travelled around 13 ports.
- Wow...
- Do you know what kind of a drink is this?
What kind?
I thought we can drink this together
but I hesitated from Tahsin...
What?
We always drink this after funerals!
Really...
Youre such a silly! [Tokat accent]
Dont smoke that so much.
Your undereyes are black from it.
You should know the value of your health.
What is with her?
What bro?
What's going on with her?
Dont mind her,
she is probably on her period or something.
I dont know...
I cant say anything right now.
I think Ill come back
a few days later, but don't plan on it.
OK.
Oh look, Gulnaz handed it over
just as I was leaving.
- Whats this?
- Let's see.
Wow! Shes a legend about it!
Ill just eat this,
its already too much for you!
We couldnt visit them, such a shame...
No worries. I'll tell them
it was a short visit as a surprise.
- Invite them over to Izmir.
- Yeah... Ill eat more.
Its so delicious.
What are you doing man!
Take this.
I didnt close it properly.
Here you go.
Thanks, honey...
Wont you hand over it
to the baggage?
- No.
- It has already shut.
- Have a safe trip.
- Thanks.
Take care. Keep in touch.
NOTARY
Hey! Isn't that my dads car?
What's happened to it?
Yes, Ms. Remziye! Come with me.
See what secret business
your brother has run!
Now I know, why we didn't hear
our father's dead on time.
- Why are you yelling, man?
- How the hell can I not!
He stayed in hospital for days,
can you believe it?
- Be quiet!
- What do you mean quiet?
Calm down please!
Calm down? I should calm down?
Really?
How can you be so emotionless
and stone-cold?
Do you hear what I'm saying?
I can't believe this!
Come on... Am I not your brother?
Am I not your brother?
Huh?
Am I adopted or something?
Come on, Mr. Tahsin, let's hear
what my dad was doing in Ankara.
We tought he was in Amasya really...
Well, I thought he was in Amasya,
...but he has been in Ankara...
Come on, tell us why!
Right...
Dad wanted to see Uncle Kazim,
so they went to Ankara first,
...and then they dropped by Amasya
on the way back.
He insisted on seeing Uncle Kazim.
I called Dr. Saban, he let us.
He said change would do him good.
What did he say exactly?
Take your dad to night club,
...and it would be good for his heart
and bloodflow?
Did he say it or not?
Fuck you, Bekir...
What night club?
What night club, huh?
What night club, you ask!
He wanted to go to a night club
once in his life...
Well, well, well, Mr. Tahsin...
When it's come to talking, you brag about
customs and traditions...
How you brag so much...
Is it also custom to
take your father to night club? Huh?
Why would I take him for god's sake!
Did I take him to a night club?
Or this girl?
Well, they had already arranged it
with Uncle Kazim.
I didn't know about it.
What should I do,
reprimand him like a child?
Enough! Dad's dying has
nothing to do with all of this.
He only had scars and scratches,
hospitalized for two days,
...even tough the car was wrecked.
That's it!
Are we disputing over
why the food was burnt here?
Are we!
Have you lost your minds?
Shame on both of you!
Shame on you!
We'll talk about this
night club thing later.
What kind of trouble are you, man?
What the hell are you doing!
Have you no fear of God left inside?
- Don't you have any sense of shame?
- Bro! Bro!
- Fuck off, man! Fuck off!
- Stop bro, what are you doing?
That bastard tipped over his cart!
Your face is bleeding!
It's bleeding!
Stop for a while, stop...
- You are a pain in the ass!
- Have you no fear of God?
OK, OK, just come here...
Not enough he tips over the man's cart
but he attacks me!
Stop for God's sake!
- Look at the state the man is in...
- OK, calm down.
- Everything fell off the ground.
- Pick up these fruits!
We will, but your face is bleeding,
stop for a second.
Your face is bleeding, stop for a second.
Get the hell away from here!
Uncle, are you OK?
Come, come here.
OK, you come here.
A roll of a papertowel
is eighteen hand span.
First, seven spans, then three spans
are used from the roll.
- So, how much has left?
- Here you go, how many?
Eighteen minus seven equals ten.
Is it ten?
Bro?
- Ten? Pay attention.
- Eleven maybe...
Bro...
Brother, what happened?
- Nothing, nothing.
- Not important.
What do you mean nothing,
what happened to your face?
Nothing, don't worry son.
Don't you worry.
Come dear, it's nothing.
- Let's pack your bag. Come on.
- Nothing.
Is his homework done?
- Come on...
- Yes, it's done.
- Give me these.
- Come on, come.
- Come son, I'll get you dressed.
- Hi Gulnaz, are you at home?
If you are, wait by the door,
I'll pass him over.
OK, bye.
I'll watch you from the balcony
in the morning, OK?
OK.
- Is she close by?
- Yes she is.
- Say hi to all.
- Did you wear it? Come on...
- See you later, bye.
- See you later.
- See you.
- Be careful.
No, it's on my mind don't worry.
This time i'll get some rosehips too.
OK. Say hi to Berna.
OK, kisses to both of you.
Thank you, bye.
Bro, what happened really?
- What?
- Did you fight or something?
Girl are you crazy,
why would I punch my own brother?
Do you think I lost my mind?
I don't know, you were fighting
when we were children.
When I saw them he was fighting already.
- Who?
- Our brother...
Do you remember Hilmi?
What do people call that?
- Fruit seller.
- Fruit seller.
- His apricots were scattered around...
- Really?
Poor thing...
So our brother wanted to pay for all of it.
And he fought with other man.
Do you think I lost my mind,
how can I hurt my own brother?
Yasin Look, stop being
so hard on our brother.
- God...
- Don't God me!
Looking after dad, the divorce...
Better if he was run over by a truck!
- You treat him like he killed our father!
- Did you see the car?
Did you see the car?
It's wrecked.
I don't get how they
came out of it alive.
He could have died there...
So our brother is responsible for this?
He said come, we'll have a little chat.
If he sat in the back seat
nothing would happen to him.
He was speeding too...
Yasin, I can die
before I go to Izmir,
- Our lives are not guaranteed.
- Is that the same thing?
You're loading all the responsibility
to him, don't do it.
He took care of him
when we were not around.
We saw him rarely, that's why
he seemed sweet to us.
Why I can't come here?
Do you think
I didn't want to visit dad?
I'm working,
I have many things to do.
Are you the only one who's working?
You think our brother's biggest dream
was selling table cloths?
As if he didn't want to
go to the music school,
...you're the only one
who's working, aren't you?
Do you think you're the chosen one?
Of course, God created us
as ordinary people,
...made him a craftsman,
and me a salesclerk,
...but as the lucky genius of our family,
you became an artist, an author right?
He was the one
who supported your education.
If he hadn't sent you money,
if hadn't sacrificed himself,
...would you be able to talk
so much shit, I wonder!
Stupid!
How would you go around saying
bullshits like "concept", "sensorial"?
- You're a real idiot.
- It's you.
- No, you are.
- Idiot, moron!
No, you're a moron. You sound
so stupid sometimes...
You would be shocked at how stupid
you sound if you hear yourself.
Retard!
Didn't he support your education too?
Didn't he support you?
Why didn't you go to college, huh?
Why?
What happened?
It's not that easy, right?
It's not that easy.
One needs determination.
- So you're determined?
- Yes I am.
- Of course, I'm determined.
- Umm.
And dont let him show off about it,
like "I supported him".
He's covering his own weakness
on my account.
- You're enabling him.
- Did you achieve all you have
- ...by your determination?
- Yes, indeed.
- What did you achieve?
- What?
You wrote a shitty novel
and published it
- ...with your own money.
- Let's hear this.
Do you think you become someone
when some retards said
..."oh it's so good, such good"?
Huh?
I read your book.
I lied to you, I read it in detail.
It's trash.
It's complete bullshit.
There's nothing that reminded me
of you. It's just ridiculous.
Fuck my opinion,
we have a customer, she's an author
...and she has many books
not published by herself.
I read them all.
Anyways, she said to me,
..."Sude I read Yasin's book,
but I didn't like it,
...because it's like
cheap internet poetry."
Maybe like my dad's poem
on his profile.
But my opinion doesn't matter,
she is an author.
So my work seems
pretentious to you, right?
Yes, it seems fake
and everyone thinks that way.
My work is fake, is it? Dear "Sude"?
Did you ever look at the mirror?
- You retard!
- No, you retard!
I'm sick of this name OK? I'm sick of it!
I promised myself, OK?
- I swore to change my fate. OK?
- Well done.
Do I have to live with
that stupid name all my life?
I'm happy with myself, look,
- I'm so happy with myself you moron!
- Great, congratulations...
Don't congratulate me!
I don't tell people to start a thread
about me on the internet.
It's true, right?
I didn't read it but...
I'll check this out because I have to
see your face while I read.
Wait I'll find it.
I'll find and read it.
"The author I knew from
Tokat Anatolian High School."
"I don't know, who the hell is this."
Such a shame.
"Talented author of
Like You Will Die Tomorrow."
"I read the book twice."
Try harder,
they don't get it the first time.
"I had distinct pleasure
everytime I read.
He will be so successful one day.
Master, dont deprive us of your work."
Bimbo-ham Lincoln.
What the fuck!
Bimbo-ham Lincoln read my books
and told me not to stop writing.
I'll tell you what...
Are you still in touch with Efe?
Huh?
Did I say something wrong?
Answer me bro, don't be mad at me.
Nothing to get upset about here.
Enough with you neverending quarells.
As if I get along with you...
You thank God you are hurt.
We have some talking to do.
Don't ever think that it's over.
That case is not closed.
And yes, I can't
get along with her too.
Because she's living in the same
insanity for years.
- She is getting better though...
- No, she is not.
She is the same person as her fifteen
years old self, she never changed.
Not that much.
Don't you remember
what she was doing back then?
What was she doing?
She was crying three days on a week...
She wanted to marry with
her fifteen years older teacher,
Now she wants to marry with
this loser.
What?
Are you surprised?
You think you're too smart.
She is engaged.
It hasn't been a year since they met,
but bam, they are engaged.
Really? When has all this happen?
It just has.
That guy showed me the photos.
They look like engagement photos,
...like they introduced each other
to their families.
How? Who's her family?
It's the most weirdest part.
Your sister found a fake mom,
like she found a fake name before.
That guy doesn't know
even our mother has died.
He thinks that women is dad's ex-wife.
She just twisted all the information.
Oh God... Then shouldn't that fake mom
also be at the funeral?
Bro, why do you insist on
being so blind to this situation!
The problem is, our sister is not normal.
She is abnormal!
She lied about everything.
She said shit like they had a messy divorce
and they are not in touch...
She lied her ass off.
And I couldn't say anything.
How can I say that
my sister is a big fat lier?
Such craziness!
But why are you telling me
these now, not before? Huh?
So you looked at the photos
and all thatasyousaid...
Oh God!
And you...
Why are you ratting on your sister?
Huh?
Why are you ratting on her?
You were like this,
when you were little.
How many times dad throw
my cigarettes to the Shitty Creek?
You quit smoking because of me.
You should be grateful.
Say what you want to say.
Just say it!
Girl, you are not in Izmir.
Those jerks will learn not to look!
Don't be mad at me,
I'm not saying anything bad.
Just listen to me.
Just beware.
- Done.
- Is it over my dear? Let me check.
Write a story about your family and
support your story with visuals.
Your story will be posted
on our "Family Stories" board.
One day, Mert finished his homework
and went out to play football.
After his third score, he saw
his older aunt speaking on the phone.
He ran to her for a hug.
His aunt didn't see him,
she was checking her phone.
In the evening, Detective Mert
listened to his dad's room secretly.
His dad was speaking on the phone,
...telling someone what Mert's grandfather
did withpesticide...
Brother Tahsin!
What?
What?
We'll come back to this.
- Honey, take your stuff.
- What happened?
Put them in your bag.
Come on, dear... Hello Gulnaz...
His homework is done, what
should we do? OK, I'm bringing him.
OK, bye.
- Let me take him.
- No, no.
She shouldn't see you
in this state.
- I don't think she cares about me.
- Come on dear.
Come on.
- Thank you my dear Remo...
- You're welcome.
- Is the homework all done?
- Yes.
Take this.
Monday's homework also done.
See you later.
- Honey, come in...
- My mom made pumpkin dessert.
I have to pack my luggage,
maybe next time. Bye...
Yes Brother Tahsin, let's talk
about this pesticide thing.
What now? What pesticide?
Tell us the full story until
no little detail has been left out!
Come on!
You think you don't have a part in it?
Did you forget the phone call
you had with dad last Tuesday?
Yes? So what?
You quarrelled, right?
Yes, he was furious with me for
not attending Hamdi's wedding.
That's the one.
Who knows what shit
you told him that he got so sad.
Then, he just swallowed it
when he was at home.
What's going on here?
What the hell is happening?
Fuck me!
Why do I keep asking to you,
after all, I am not your brother!
I am the son of a bitch!
I should just get the fuck out of here!
Enough is enough!
Do whatever the hell you like!
And don't tell me any stuff,
I don't want to know.
Now, I am bugging off.
Don't ever contact me again!
Weve had enough of your crazy shit!
Such weird attitude
since your childhood...
What the hell is your problem?
You have grown to be a woman,
don't be a child anymore. Grow up!
Shut up, you don't know any shit.
Good God What should we know?
Huh?
Good for you,
you blame the past for all,
...anyhow we'll tolerate your insanity
and show endless compassion to you!
We had the same shitty history
with you.
But we've never pitied ourselves
like you.
- It's not what you think.
- Sure, you know everything right!
We're your older brothers,
- ...maybe we know something too, right?
- Cut it out!
You might ask me
why he got so upset...
Ask you? I would have asked dad
if I could.
Why? No chance that I told him
something crucial?
Was he get upset for nothing?
Do whatever the fuck you want.
- Sit down!
- Just let me go.
Sit down! Tahsin,
go and bring the phone.
You've recorded Dad's
conversations for the trial, right?
- Sit down!
- I don't want to!
Grab the phone, it probably recorded
our conservation too...
- Have a seat, you will sit down.
- I don't want to hear.
- You will sit down.
- I don't want to hear of anything.
Listen to this!
I walked down the hill today
With my golden churn
I walked down the hill today
With my golden churn
I couldn't see my beloved
I see every day
OK, forget about it.
Dad insisted I should be at
Hamdi's wedding.
I told him I would never.
He gave me the same old speech
like you...
Why wouldn't I come,
our hometown, our relatives...
How I denied them blah blah blah...
I said to him, "Dad, I don't like that man
you're inviting me to his wedding.
In fact, I hate him!
If mom was alive
you could have asked her 'why'.
But I wish she had told you
long before you had to ask."
Why didn't you tell me?
You used to tell me everything
when you were a kid.
Didn't you tell me the other day
that I was still a child?
I'm 34 years old
but still a child,
...but, I'm mature enough to tell
what I went through when I was six, right?
Bro...
Bro stop...
Bro...
Taso?
Ill fuck your "Taso"!
- Bro, bro... Leave it to me!
- Fuck you!
- What are you doing kids!
- You asshole!
Nehir, Nehir, come here!
Don't! Please
What are you doing in front of
the girl? Please!
- Tahsin, dont!
- Let me...
No, kids! Don't...
- Please, what are you doing
- Bro, bro
Let go of me!
- Leave him, bro!
- You prick! You asshole!
Leave him please, don't...
Let go of me!
You asshole!
Fatty bagels! Fatty bagels!
