Fireworks Wednesday (Chaharshanbe-soori / La fête du feu)

In the name of god

look at you!

What in the world are you looking at?

Can't I check out my own fiancé?

Put it away, it's embarrassing!

-This one is nice. -Which one?

The one we took on your roof.

What class!

What class!

Was that your foot?

No, it was my chador.

I've told you 100 times!

Hold onto your chador! Now what do I do?

Okay...

Be careful, you'll rip it.

There's nobody here at this hour.

Who are you hiding from?

From you!

Don't go too fast.

All right. Go in already!

-Hi. -Hello, beautiful bride-to-be!

-Are there many people? -Lots.

Hitchhiking on that road is pretty shady.

-Especially for a girl. -They'll find her.

Find her? Right, dream on.

I wasn't expecting you.

There wasn't much snow.

You need money to get married.

If our pay was enough to get married with,

I would've done it 100 times already!

You've already buried three husbands!

-I didn't take any from you. -Be my guest!

Well, goodbye.

Hurry up, I have to get back early.

-Sit down, I'm going to try. -Thank you.

I've brought it for you. Do you want to try it on?

Is it our turn yet?

So, which one of the two should go?

Find a job for my wife and me.

-Hi, granny. -Hello.

How are you?

Wait.

Where are you?

Congratulations.

When's it for?

Next Friday.

You'll have it by Thursday,

and pay what you can.

Thanks a lot.

-Pick any one. -Are you kidding me?

I'm serious. Go on.

This one.

Let me see. Heravi square.

It's too far.

-The others are worse. -Show me.

Go on.

Don't come back late.

-You got it. See you later. -Goodbye.

Fireworks Wednesday

who is it?

Excuse me, ma'am,

your neighbors aren't answering.

Do you know where they are?

Their buzzer's broken. You are?

I'm here to work for them. Could you let me in?

I'll call them and they'll let you in themselves.

-Give me the fish. -Mom!

Be good. Hurry up!

Be careful, you'll fall.

Where are you going?

-Are you looking for someone? -Apartment 17.

Buzz and they'll let you in.

It's already open.

I don't know what you're doing here. Go on.

Step outside.

Hold on.

-Hello. -Hello, come in.

I swear, I have the tickets already.

You don't know how long I've wanted to go away with my family.

Yeah, right... leave me alone!

Fine, okay.

Five minutes? I know it'll last until midnight!

Okay. Bye.

Miss?

Yes.

Start with this room.

My wife will tell you what to do afterward.

What a mess.

Wait a minute.

Put on these slippers.

There's glass, you might get hurt.

Why do you have my cell?

Why'd you take it?

I have things to do. I have to go.

I've been looking for you for an hour.

-When are you coming back? -Sir?

Hello? Yes?

-The broom and dustpan? -Just a second.

Over there.

What?

The cleaning lady. I called.

Specialized agencies send them over.

So, they'll work together!

She parked in front of the gate again!

You shouldn't have called her.

-My cell? -The concierge was going to help me.

It's been a damn mess for three days now.

The concierge, the concierge...

My phone?

Where are you going?

Give it to me, I have to run.

Run where?

To work. What do you think?

Today?

Mahmud called. They have some problems.

We were supposed to talk.

I'll be back. I'm not running away.

You said we'd talk it over today.

I know I did, but that damn mahmud needs me.

Don't worry, I'll be back by 5:00, and we'll take care of everything.

You said this morning.

Yes, I did say that. You're right.

But they need me.

That's just great! You always have time for mahmud!

Amir-Ali's not home.

And, so?

I don't want to talk in front of him.

What's the problem of talking in front of him?

We have to make a decision.

Decide for yourself. I've already decided.

Then I'm not going tomorrow.

What are you saying?

Mojdeh?

Listen. I have the tickets. I'm not your puppet.

You promised. Don't go back on your word.

All I promised you was a trip to Dubai.

I kept my promise, you're full of shit!

-Watch your language. -Look who's talking.

The guy begged me to come and help him.

It's urgent and you want me to stay.

-I didn't say anything. -Yesterday, you said enough.

You're the one who said too much.

You so damn neurotic!

Idiot.

Wait.

I'm speaking to you.

If you leave, I'll take Amir-Ali and go.

You're a disgrace!

Disgrace! I'm not moving.

Wait!

I swear I'll take him away. Why won't you understand?

Mrs. sabri?

-Sabri? -Yes.

-Hello, ma'am. -Hello. Call your wife.

She won't be long.

She was supposed to help me.

She's out shopping for the razavi family.

Tell her to come see me.

The management won't allow my wife to work.

It's none of their business.

When she works, I take care of the kids.

They say it keeps me from my work.

Tell her to come up. I'll take care of it.

Hi.

-Is your mother home? -Yes, come in.

Mom, it's Mrs. samii.

Mojdeh, dear, come in.

Thanks. Is sabri here?

No, why?

She was supposed to help me.

The management doesn't want her to work.

Tell her to see me when she finishes your shopping.

-Let's keep this between us. -Okay.

They talked about her at the meeting.

Well? What happened?

They're going to tell the landlord to take care of it.

Don't worry about it. We know nothing. Come in.

-I have to run. Tell her to come up. -Bye.

Hello, ma'am.

I'm looking for bleach.

Come here.

I didn't see any in the kitchen.

I'm going to do the dishes in the bathtub.

That way, I'll make some room here.

It's okay. Thanks a lot.

-How much do I owe you? -What?

I haven't even started yet!

I know. Someone's coming by to help.

Then why did you call the agency?

My husband did.

What difference does that make?

I don't owe you an explanation!

-I'm sorry. -I've changed my mind.

I didn't go through your drawer.

I was cleaning in the room and it just fell out.

Will five thousand tomans do?

Five thousand? But why? I came all this way!

It's not enough? How much then?

I can't accept this money when I didn't do anything.

Take it.
