- Hello. - How are you, Mr. Mohammad?

Not bad.

I don't know.

- How long have you been here? - 33 years.

- What about my New Year bonus? - You'll get it, after the New Year.

Next time he brings bread, give him money for tea and sugar.

If you give me money, i' ll get a new veil.

- Are you going to a wedding? - No, I'm just telling you.

-Did you ask for tea and sugar? - No, I forgot.

- Hello. - Hello

They say the land's been washed away.

They're lying.

Mohammad says nothing's happened over there.

- Did you ask for tea and sugar? - No, I forgot.

Give me some money for a new veil.

It won't cost much.

When did you come, son?

Early in the morning. The road was blocked. i had to wait for a car.

- Are you all right? - I'm fine.

- Where is father? - At the railway crossing.

Give me some tea.

We have no sugar.

My button fell off.

- On the way here. - Give it to me, I'll sew it.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Is my order ready? - Yes, it is.

- Any news from Mahmood? - No news.

- Where is he now? - I think he's in Gorgan.

God be with you.

What weather! Everywhere is flooded.

I'm afraid it'll wash away the track.

Bring the rug, Mr.Mohammad.

- The design has been changed. - It's what you ordered.

- Where's the other one? - It'll take another week.

Nobody buys such rugs any more.

Nobody wants this design. There's nothing in it for us.

It's not on, coming so far in this weather.

Here's 2200 rials.

We're making a loss.

You don't have to sell it if you don't want to.

She works day and night. It's not a fair deal.

You're not forced to sell it. It's up to you.

When did he come?

Just now. Let him sleep, he's tired.

He must be tired out.

Why didn't you write?

- I wrote you a letter - I didn't get it.

I sent you a letter.

- When are you going? - Tomorrow, to Ahwaz.

Where is Ahwaz?

It's two days from here by car.

It's far. It's far.

Pass me the water.

Is the road blocked?

Yes, it's been flooded.

The track will be washed away at last.

- He's all skin and bones - Give him some money.

I will, I will.

- Goodbye, mother. - Goodbye. Write to us.

- God be with you. - And with you.

You've got a letter.

I can't read. You read it for me.
