Maybe Some Other Time (شاید وقتی دیگر)

Sorry we are late.

How are you today? You look better.

So much trouble fixing this appointment...

The secretary said there should be not delay if we are on time.

I hope we will not be delayed in traffic.

We will be on time, but you'll be late.

You'll have to excuse me

They are waiting for me.

Eveyone has been caught several times in such traffic jams,

for which no driver blames hlmself.

Meanwhile, no one remembers the hopeless pedestrians, who are in no way responslble for traffic congestlon.

Music! -They are still working on it.

The baby does not reallze that there is no room for hls pram.

And the mother's lot in the mlddle of so many smoke- emltting vehicles is nothing but poisonous fumes.

Is the length of the narratlon Ok? -Muslc!

Oh, oh, oh... is this real smoke?

It's a secret; whichever I say it ls artificial, you'll have to accept as artificial.

Telephone call for Mr. Modabber.

It must be Kian, my wife.

Oh...

Her mom is ili.

Shall we stop the film?

Just two words. Hello! Did you have to walt long?

Really?

Hold on a mlnute.

The only way to save our living space is to cut down on the number of private vehicles, which expanding the publlc transport system.

Each private automoblle squeezes out

a dozen pedestrians;

and as it waits for the congestion to ease,

It keeps emltting dangerous chemlcal effluents into the alr.

Hello! -Go on. I'm listening.

Section four.

This is an lmage of the future predlcated for the industrlal world

when people wlll have to wear safety helmets and makes in order to walk along clty streets.

What? You were saying something. Hello... hello

We can't run the film a second time.

We finished at five.

Who's ili after all? Your mom or your dad?

Please spell the name of the medlclne which you cannot find.

The main scene.

Too late! -Who will accompany whom home?

I'll give you a ring when you get back home.

We should make a film on how not to mix one's work with one's private life.

It has been already done a hundred times. -Then it must not have been done will enough.

Was it a bad news?

You mlssed several scenes.

They say they cannot run the film agaln. Shall we contlnue on the edlting table?

We should have done that from the beglnning.

Ok, you may stop.

What are you looking for?

A certain medicine.

The scene speaks for itself. No narratlon requested.

Ok? Then just music.

This smoke is too artificial. -Really?

It's the only real one.

Section five.

The idle running of engines,

the deafening cacophony of sounds, the continuous vibrations of thousands engines,

not only gradually polson a whole clty, they create a vey strong nervous tenslon...

I felt dlzzy.

The narration sounds too serious

It lacks feeling. Ok. So what?

Why not get the professlonal people to deal with the technlcal stuffs?

Such as a doctor who is working on pollutlon, or the head of the toxlcology ward.

Intervlews? Done a hundred times.

With some narration interspersed, you can out from one to the other.

I would prefer the lndirect approach too.

Ok, we can ty it. We have the means.

Then this will put the film on the shelf for a while. Off we go!

We will look at it from this new angle tomorrow.

t We will need a cameraman a sound recordlst

and first of all, a productlon manager.

Whlch way are you going? -Dear fellow

then you will give me a buzz? -You'll be here tomorrow?

Tlll tomorrow then. -Ok.

We were not supposed to do that. -Stop it. Take it easy.

Yes. -It's as usual. What do you want to do?

Hello! -How many times did it? -You make us crazy. Shit...

How much? Till' then?

Hello! Hello!

It is not tolerable.

Do you know how much does lt cost now? -Calm down now.

The taxi is here.

Yes? -Kian.

Hello! Where are you? -You were not expecting my call, were you?

Why yes. You sald you would call.

Are your parents still there?

They've just left.

Why? Is there something wrong?

Perhaps there ls, but I don't know what.

Am I not being secretlve?

No l'm not.

I am looking for a red Paykan.

Do you know anyone who owns one?

A red Paykan? -Does it sound strange?

Why should a red Paykan sound strange?

What are you driving at?

Come on Modabber! Explain yourself.

The magnifying glass that I use for lip - reading of film - frames,

I can't find it.

Have I left it at home?

My God, the mllk is bolling over! Bye, you will be home soon?

You are sulking.

You are far cy from your happy and smlling self.

Shall we go to the cinema? -No.

Shall we go out for dinner? -No.

Aren't you going to tell me what is the matter with you? - I will.

You are sulking.

When did you get home? -Just now.

So quletly! -Should l have announced myself?

The medlclne that you were looking for. For your dad or mom, whichever.

I love them equally, one as much as the other.

Your dad!

But it is not an acute case, is it? It should be contalned after a perlod of treatment.

There are worse things that cannot be cured with treatment.

Sit down.

I didn't know you had a khakl manteau.

A what? -A khaki manteau.

I have nothing in khakl.

Really?

Why don't you help yourself to some food? -I am not hungy.

You mean the dlsease is fatal?

Whose disease? -Whose indeed!

Are you ill?

Don't be late.

Is it bad?

Come on.

Did you tidy up wardrobe?

How come my things were scattered all over?

Now I am sure

you don't have a khaki manteau.

Why is this so important?

You would look vey nlce in one.

How can you say that before seeing me ty one on?

Is there anyone who has?

Who has what?

Llfe in such matchbox dwellings should be vey boring.

Don't you get bored sometimes?

Perhaps you need some amusement.

There are plenty of books.

How about today?

I may dellver the medlclne.

Ouite a trip!

If you had your own car, what color would you prefer it to be?

Why should the color of the car matter?

Do I bore you?

What's the matter with you? - me? With me?

Is your headache better? -Wouldn't you want it to be red?

How about selling our Jalopy and buying a red Paykan instead?

What dlfference would that make? -Oh, yes...

Then the dlfference is in who slts behlnd the wheel!

What are you tying to say? I don't get it. -Since when?

No, I will not say anything now. Not for the time being.

When did it all start?

When did it all start? When?

When did it all start?

I thlnk...

I thlnk it started on the day when l went to vlslt my frlend where she works.

I was looking for a job, which they sald was avallable.

But I was frightened by the sound of a baby cying.

A baby?

It was calling me.

Just like some place you have seen in a dream, then you reallze that it has a real place and has exlsted all along.

A bad memoy?

Memoy? -A bad memoy?

Good morning. -This is Kian Modabber. I was supposed to ring at this hour,

I want to ask if there was any message for me. -Hold on a second

I'll have to ask.

Oho! What are you doing here?

Llsten Vejdanl, what would you do if you saw something that you could not belleve?

I would ty to see it a second time.

That's exactly what I did last nlght.

I came back and looked at your film a second time.

Our film? What do you mean?

Please slt down and concentrate.

What do you see? -What should I see?

Who's she?

I don't know? -She's my wife,

and this man is someone I don't know.

Oh...

You have seen my wife.

Just once.

I didn't have a clear memoy of her.

But now that you mention it, yes. It's her all right.

I was feeling a sort of anxlety in her,

She had become vey qulet and retlcent, even recluslve.

I thought this was because of her mother's or her father's lllness.

But... now...

What can I say? Have you talked to her?

When I looked at her, l was no longer sure.

That's why I came back here today. But I am sure now.

I'm sory I had not notlced her.

Perhaps you can help me find out what's going on.

t Please let me know the locatlon, the time and the date of this shot.

How can I find out these information?

Well, these are all included in the scrlpt-girl's notes.

Please come here and look at the film.

It made me crazy.

Before we can see the car's number, plate you cut to a traffic light.

The orlglnal footage must be longer. I'll have them find the beglnning and the end of the shot.
