- The water melon, did you cut it open? - What water?

l said water melon not water, what the hell is wrong with your mother, boy?

Will you cut this shit, l'm trying to study here

He's fooling around all day Mahrus

And once you arrive, he becomes something like a walking newspaper

Come and have a bite, boy

Why don't you study a bit for tomorrow's exam?

l don't need you telling me what to do, come, come with me Meseeda

- Where are you taking my mom? - l need her to recite my lessons

- But she's illiterate - She can impress her fingerprint

Meseeda, let's talk about nominative cases, is it for the subject or the verb?

- What? - Yeah that's right

Thus, Napoleon entered fully armed

And started tearing down all houses

The citizens resisted the enemy fiercely

Tens of soldiers were killed in battle

Soldiers were going down

Soldiers going down

And Napoleon was striking hard

With all the power he's got

lt was a total mess

A total mess

Hey Marzuk

Marzuk

Hey pal

Hey boy

First question, first question boy

- What do you want? - What's going on?

- No, l just needed the protractor - What do you need the protractor for?

- lt's an Arabic language exam - Arabic language

Just look straight into your paper

Tell me boy, you're playing the smart ass now

Just give me the answer of the syntax question

- Damn, why can't you just study? - Fine, you son of a bitch

l swear to God if you don't give me the answers

l'll divorce your mom in the morning, you'll be thrown in the streets, homeless and penniless

Come on Marzuk, give it to me, l was gonna take you to the zoo, my boy

Don't you wanna go to the circus?

Give it to me boy, l'll take you to the movies to watch "a woman above flames"

- "A woman above flames" , boy - No, l want a bicycle

- Fine, l'll get you a bicycle - You promise?

Sure thing boy

No, each year, you promise to get me a bicycle

- And you've never done it - l'll buy one boy, l'm telling you

Fine, write down

They started tearing down all houses

- Who? - What's the matter?

- They started tearing down all houses - How the hell do you know that?

- What do you mean? lt's all written down here - Okay

Tearing down is the gerund, houses is the object

- All is a pronoun - Easy now boy! Easy

- Have you been swallowing the books? - What's going on here?

l was just asking for the colored pens

What pens? lt's an Arabic language exam

l wanted those for the Arabic language

Go ahead boy

Mahrus, corporal Mahrus

- What is it Hassun? - You've got a call

Fine, take care of these beds and the blankets

l counted down the blankets as well as the fleas one by one

l warned you

Yes dad... who?

My boy Marzuk passed and was the first of the whole province

l knew it, he's always been a good student

What about me? l sure failed, he must have given me the wrong answers

Who? l passed too, thank you so much dad, you're the best dad, goodbye dad

- Congratulations, Mahrus - Thank you all

- Hey Abbas - Yes

- l want a drink to the whole camp - Ok

- How many bottles do we take? - Just one and drink it in turn

Let those who passed raise their hands, let's all hold hands

Marzuk, hey Marzuk

Where are you boy?

Marzuk... hey boy

Meseeda, Meseeda

Where are you woman?

Where the hell are the children?

Wishing all the best to the father of the minister

Sir Madkur have always been the pride of the town

My boy Madkur... lf it wasn't for my strict education

He would have never become a minister

- Sure thing, old man - lt's true

l've beaten the living daylights out of him one day

l saw him smoking once, he was still a young fellow

- How old was he by then? - Around 40 years

The minute l saw him lighting the cigarette, l was blinded with rage and fury

With this palm, and with all the strength l had

- l slapped him hard on the face - Well done, well done

l scare the shit out of my son the minister

He goes out of sight as soon as he sees me

- l bought you a bicycle, Marzuk - You're the best, daddy

Where is my father Meseeda?

- What? - My father

- What? - Where's my father?

- Who? - My father, you dumb woman

He's sitting out there in the back

- How are you doing uncle Kharuf? - Come over here corporal Mahrus

Come over here

- Good after noon everyone - Good after noon

l want you to congratulate this old man

He passed too in primary school?

What primary school? His son Madkur became a minister

- Go ahead, kiss his hands - Dear God, congratulations, congratulations

- By the way, Mr. Ftehar - What is it?

Why don't you ask your good old son to help Mahrus?

He's working very hard

He only gets a three days leave, every month and a half

ls that it? Get me the minister on the phone at once

What minister dad? lt can't be

The minister won't waste his precious time to interfere and help me

Don't you start nagging?

A man should make use of all opportunities given to him

Or else he'll stay a complete failure

Give me the minister, how the hell do you ask who's speaking?

Tell him it's his father, let him stop what he's doing at once and speak to me

Hello?
