In the Family (Aile Arasında)

How are you? What’s up?

Well, not much. I’m so bored.

It must be because of the dull weather.

No. I’m bored of marriage.

Mihriban, what are you talking about?

Right. I’ll divorce you.

I mean... Just because...

...things have been going slightly bad at work, and I had a few cheques returned...

...and the debt collectors came in, is that what you’ll do, Mihriban?

No. I don’t want you to think like that, Fikret.

But it is like that.

I’m...

...not feeling well.

Where will you stay tonight?

Are you telling me to pack up and leave?

Oh no, of course not. Please.

I’ve already packed up your suitcases. They’re in the bedroom.

At odds with my destiny

My heart never gets what it wants

My dreams are made of three words Here they are:

Married, happy, with children

Put your hands in the air!

A kiss goodbye before the storm

The shadow of reason is within my heart’s reach

I’ve broken many hearts because of my troubles

But I can’t break this bad fortune

How did this bad fortune find me? I break my oath every Monday

I’ve broken many hearts because of my troubles

I can’t get along with the flow of life

At odds with my destiny My heart never gets what it wants

My dreams are made of three words Here they are:

Married, happy, with children

My dolls! I love you.

I’ll take a 15 minute break. I’ll be back in 15 minutes.

I’ll leave you with Solmaz!

Solmaz!

The heartbreakers are always loved

Those who love are always heartbroken

I’m losing my faith in love

And I’m losing my fancy

All sorts of people are settling down Why can’t I settle down?

At odds with my destiny My heart never gets what it wants

My dreams are made of three words Here they are:

Married, happy, with children

Amen! Let’s hope so!

I would like to introduce to you our master musicians.

On the guitar, Yaşar!

On percussion, Fatih!

On the violin, the Artman brothers!

And on clarinet, Neco!

Solmaz, Neco’s gone!

Where did he go?

He went home. He said he’d pack his stuff.

Is he going on tour?

No, he’s got a 25 year old chick! Didn’t you know?

He said, "I’m leaving Solmaz".

Son of a...

What? It’s not like you’re here to listen to a symphony orchestra!

Get out of the way!

Neco!

Neco!

Neco!

Hey!

Neco!

Yes, Solmaz?

What are you doing here?

I’ve got a fever. I’m so sick. I came home to sleep.

The boys said, "He’s packing up his stuff. He’ll leave you!"

They’re on your side.

Why are you so easy to fool?

For God’s sake, make some soup for me.

Are you really feeling bad?

I swear to God I am! I’m aching all over.

- Come on. - I’m dying...

I hope you die soon!

I can’t believe you’re hiding your suitcase under the blanket!

Are we making a sitcom here, you idiot!

- Solmaz, I only have one request. - What?

Could you pass me my beer?

To hell with you! Tell that young woman too give you your beer!

- Who is that? - That 25 year old prostitute!

- Shame on you! - Solmaz!

Shame on you!

In principle, you’re absolutely right!

I’d spit on your face in practice too, but we’re a family! I know you’ll come back.

We’ll see face to face again. So I’m acting like a lady. You rascal!

- Let him go! - You stay out of this!

Let him go. He hasn’t married you for 21 years, and you’re still waiting.

- You should have some dignity. - I’ll tear your mouth!

You’ll stitch it with a needle!

There, your dad left!

He just drove off.

It was a long time coming.

He doesn’t want us. You can’t force him.

Shut up!

He wouldn’t leave his family behind.

He’ll come back. I know.

So?

He’ll come back.

Mark my words. He’ll come back!

He didn’t.

It’s been a month, and he hasn’t come back!

Well, he always leaves. He drags his ass around a bit and comes back.

I know what he’s like!

He’s an alcoholic! I know what he’s like!

He’ll come back again. He’ll come back.

He will.

Solmaz, Necati rented a house with that girl!

What? Son of a...

What? I’m sick and tired of this!

The girls at the beauty parlor told me he put a ring on her finger!

A ring? He put a ring on?

A ring!

I don’t think that’s a ring!

It must be something else! They must have misunderstood.

She’s talking nonsense!

No, the girl came to the parlor the other day. She wanted her eyebrows plucked.

I said, "I’m not doing it!" I sent her away.

- She wanted it done like yours? - Yes, like that.

You should’ve done it!

You’d have done something good for me for a change!

Hello. Are these ones made in China?

Miss, we have no Chinese made products. Definitely none.

- All our products are... - They’re all made in China.

Where else could we get them? It costs too much otherwise.

These are so cheap.

- Have a nice day. - Have a nice day.

And you’re smirking now, uncle?

Why did you say they’re made in China? Say Italy! Be a salesman!

Haven’t you known me for years? Please.

The lying chip in my brain is missing. Please.

That chip must have been seized back in the day!

What are you saying? Stop mumbling.

Nothing. There’s an envelope for you.

- What envelope? - From Mrs. Mihriban.

Mihriban? What did she send me?

How am I supposed to know? Come and see.

Okan!

Okan!

I wonder what she wrote.

Here.

She says "Fikret"!

Look at that! Is it a love letter?

Is she offering to make peace? Is she?

- I don’t know! Just open it and read it. - Perhaps she is.

Okan.

She filed a divorce suit! It was supposed to be a love letter!

Who said it was a love letter?

You gave it to me like it was a love letter!

You gave it to me like it was something nice!

It’s a notice!

I’m so relieved! This was really good for me.

I don’t care.

I did say he wouldn’t come back this time.

I did, right?

- You did. - Of course, you did.

You said that.

You said he wouldn’t come back. You always said that.

This was so good for me. I’ve been with the same man since I was 17!

I can find someone new. It’s alright.

Like they say, if you like it, put a ring on it.

- Of course. - Let Neco watch you from afar!

Let him eat his clarinet out!

Let him eat it, right?

I can find someone new.

I can find someone right away, right? I’ll find him today!

Perhaps not today, but...

What will I do now?

Get a lawyer.

A lawyer? My marriage is falling apart here!

She filed a suit. What can you do?

I know a fine lawyer lady. I’ll call her, and you’ll meet her today. Okay?

Do you think the lawyer can reunite us?

- The lawyer? - Yes.

I don’t know, brother. Go and talk to her.

By the way, where will you be staying from now on?

I’ve been staying at your place for a month, you know?

That’s what I’m talking about. You’ve been staying at my place for a month.

So...

There was that man you were talking about. Who was he? Call him!

Who’s that?

You said "A middle-aged gentleman saw you on stage and liked you...

- He wants to meet you." - Right.

And Solmaz said, "Did that old fart think I was a prostitute?"

That’s the one! Call him! Tell him to come.

I don’t really know him.

He came to the club once.

He wears glasses. He looks like a decent man, but...

- What are your criteria, Solmaz? - Does he have two arms and two legs?

- He does. - Fine! Call him, tell him to come to...

...Taksim, for a coffee.

- Coffee is fine, right? - Coffee is fine. It’s civilized.

The gentleman with the glasses. That’s you.

Right. Please sit down.

- Welcome. - Good to see you.

How are you?

As you might imagine. It’s divorce psychology, you know.

Oh?

We’re young people, after all. And life is going on, right?

But it’s not easy after 21 years.
