What are you doing there?

We have to evacuate!

Rana!

- Quick! - (GLASS SHATTERING)

Go down! Hurry up.

Emad! I need help for my son!

Coming.

Put that on and go down.

- I'll come up with you. - No, get out.

Everyone, in the street!

Where's Hossein?

He won't listen to me.

Hossein...

Get up, son. Get up, the building's collapsing.

Get up, Hossein.

Hey, guys,

don't load yourselves down.

We've got all you need.

Okay.

I can't find it.

Look hard.

I'll take this?

Yes, please.

Only your toothbrushes, remember... - Got them.

- Did you lock the car? - Yes.

Give me the keys.

Hey, guys.

Hi.

Still alive, then?

I thought we'd have to dig you out of the rubble.

Look at that!

Lt smells like gas.

Since last night.

We shouldn't hang around.

- Shalom. - Shalom.

- Why did you come up? - Cut the electricity. There's a leak.

I can't find the card.

Did you look through the papers?

Not there, it's dangerous.

Jeez!

"One could only hear the sobs of the woman sitting with her lamp

"on the barn roof,

"and inside, the lowing of a cow."

Sir, is it a true story?

Not really. But in Saedi's writing,

the atmosphere and characters are realistic,

very close to reality.

A man turning into a cow?

Look in the mirror!

You're hilarious.

How can you turn into a cow?

Gradually.

Sir, can we see the film?

Good idea. I'll bring it next time.

- Yes? - When can we come to your play?

We open next week.

- I'll invite you soon. - Thanks.

- What's it called? - Death of a Salesman. Who's read it?

Nobody!

Seriously, anybody read it?

Who wrote it?

Arthur Miller.

I haven't read that one.

- Good. - (CELL PHONE RINGING)

Excuse me.

Yes?

Hello.

- I can't talk. I'm in class. - (INDISTINCT)

Can you call me in 10 minutes?

Stick shift, yes.

Silver, that's right.

You're welcome.

He's selling his car.

Who do you play, sir?

The salesman.

What do you sell?

Potatoes!

You'll see.

What model is it?

- What? - Your car.

Why?

- Are you selling it or not? - (ALL LAUGH)

His father works in the traffic office. He can cancel your tickets!

You never get tickets!

Why do Iranians say "BMV" for "BMW"?

Pardon?

Why do Iranians say "BMV" for "BMW"?

Calm down.

Eh, eh, eh.

No harm in asking questions.

I don't know the answer.

So,

- for next time... - (BELL RINGING)

...write a summary of the novel.

And no lame excuses,

like sleeping in or family gatherings.

Would you mind not spreading out?

Can I switch places with the young man?

Dad? - Hmm?

Somebody in there?

No, that was next door.

Somebody got in your bathroom.

No.

It's the next room, there's a party.

Can I come in?

There's something in the bathtub, Willy. It's moving.

Miss Francis,

you better go back to your room.

I've got to get dressed. I can't.

Yes, you can. Go back.

Biff, this is Miss Francis, my neighbor.

They're painting her room.

She asked if she could take a shower here.

I let her.

Go back.

But I'm not dressed.

Please, get out of here.

You promised me stockings.

I don't have any here.

You had two boxes of size 9 for me, and I want them.

Go on, take them.

For God's sake, will you get out?

Get out.

I hope there's nobody.

Going out naked...

Uh...

Say,

are you

football or...

Shut up!

Siavash!

What's up, Mommy?

It's worse and worse.

Sadra, we're off.

Sanam, forget it.

Just because I'm playing a hooker, he thinks he can disrespect me.

- You're making fun of me! - (SIAVASH ARGUING)

Shut it!

Leave her alone.

Come on, it's the final rehearsal.

Sorry, I'm sorry.

I drag my kid across the city every night in the cold for this.

It's a pleasure working with you.

Leave him!

Sanam, stop it.

Leave him, I said!

I was kidding.

Lt was a joke.

She comes in, in her raincoat

and says, "I can't go out without clothes."

"I can't..."

It's funny.

Go and get her. She's going to quit.

Oh, no, don't send me out naked.

I can't go out like that.

Sanam!

What an idiot!

You find anything?

650 square feet, 3rd floor walkup, 40,000.

Where? Amir Atabak.

What're you looking for? Temporary.

Otherwise, we'll be sleeping here.

You free tomorrow?

Why? - I've got something to show you.

Okay, let's do a complete run-through.

You okay?

- What are you doing here? - (CAT MEOWING)

Kitty...

Whose is he?

It's nice here.

BABAK? Hmm?

Is this a closet?

Where?

Not at all.

It's the other bedroom.

Eh?

- Too small? - It's two bedrooms.
