The first 200 lines.
Have you ever felt worthless?
Like a tiny light seen from far away.
Have you ever felt so small it was as if you had disappeared?
I have.
Don't worry. It's not as sad as it sounds.
Because if you have the courage to see yourself for who you really are...
you can see the world inside you.
Of course, like many people, I used to lack that courage.
I was that kind of a student whose absence is not recognizable,
whose name is forgotten immediately upon introduction.
And life never hesitated to smash that reality right into my face.
Look at what I'll do to him.
For example, this is Batu, my flatmate.
Making omelets is the only thing I'm successful at, if you ask him.
Who did that?
He's right. Not everyone can finish ITU mechanical engineering in nine years.
This is Masal.
To her, it is a miracle that I am still alive at the age of 29.
-And this is... -Don't go.
I am not going to talk about Turkan now. You will get to know her anyway.
And here comes Gizem, the woman of my life.
Honestly, she did not even know that I existed at that time.
This is Arda...
God forgive me.
He was always on her tail.
This dog is me.
There's a saying, "If you can't do anything, you'll be an underdog."
My brother!
I'm starting to understand now what they tried to say.
After engineering I couldn't settle down,
and started working where I feel most comfortable, in a costume.
You never know what life brings. I was exactly like that at first.
But after Gizem...
I guess I am skipping far too ahead into the story.
You better take your seats, lend me your ears,
and I'll tell you the whole story from the very beginning.
You only had to entertain 20 kids for two hours.
One was hospitalized and the other one fainted.
Guys, please! This client is very important for us.
Serdar, ask Batu for money.
He broke the client's vase that costs 2,000 liras.
I don't know whether to lose a permanent client
or the vase money. Guys, please!
I saw Gizem in my dream again.
Brother, the omelet is spicy and delicious. Thank you.
-Meadows and flowers... -You have gone too far again.
Listen to me! Oh, my head.
-At least pretend to be listening. -Brother.
-Every day it's the same dream. -And every night, the same tension!
-What tension? -Don't you remember last night in the pub?
Don't say don't worry To those who have worries
Don't say don't go to those who have to go
You were smashed when you arrived. You messed with everyone.
You wouldn't sit still. You would have been beaten up if we weren't there.
As soon as you started recovering, Gizem and Arda walked in.
Gizem didn't see, right?
Please say she didn't see it. Say it! She won't even look at my face.
She already doesn't.
I agree.
A friend should be at least a little supportive
and should say something like, "Don't worry, man, you deserve better."
Serdar, sorry, but you don't deserve any.
Tell your mother to find you a girl from Mudanya so that both of us can be happy.
Batu, I'm gonna...
I'm gonna kiss you, Batu!
-Yes, Mom. What happened? -Good things are happening, my petite.
-Mom, I'm 30 years old. What is "petite"? -That is what I'm saying!
You are 30 and still hanging around in Istanbul.
-Isn't it time to get your life in order? -My life is in order, Mom.
Your clothes are scattered on the floor, right?
No! Well...
-in the laundry. -And your socks are under the bed.
You should see my flat. Everything is in order.
You have no idea.
I bet it is! Look, my boy, I decided to find you a girl that can tidy you up.
Mom, I don't want a housekeeper or something.
I'm really good.
What charlady are you talking about? I mean a wife! Her name is Neriman.
Well, I mean, where are these ideas coming from at this hour?
Okay, I will call you in the afternoon. Are you kidding me? I found you a girl!
I'm telling you that I found you a girl.
And her parents are here as well.
Thank you, Halime.
Hello! Serdar, how are you?
I'm Gulsum.
-Yasar, say hello to Serdar. -Hello, boy, how are you?
Well, I'm really great, thanks. What about you?
-Yes, my boy. -Mom, I'm little bit busy right now.
Okay. Call me when you are free. Have a good day!
Thank you.
-What is he saying? -It is done. We have a wedding soon.
Oh, God, I hope so!
PHILOPHOBIA
Our magazine's topic for this month is philophobia,
which means fear of falling in love.
WHAT IS PHILOPHOBIA?
To explain it briefly,
people who have experienced bad relationships all the time
lose their faith in love.
Disappointments from the past
creates the thought that the same thing will happen again.
This thought winds the person up after a while and makes them sad.
These individuals have philophobia.
I hope none of us suffer from it.
Thank you.
Well, thank you, Gizem. It was an amazing presentation.
You are welcome.
My sweet Gizem, my precious. I think it would have been better
if I made the presentation. You were a little weak at narrating.
Mrs. Ayten slept, Mr. Omer yawned--
ON SILENCE MODE
I wish your mother had philophobia and didn't give birth in such a world.
Same goes for you.
GOOOAL!
Guys, can we get back to the meeting?
-Of course, sir. -Am I the only one who finds it absurd?
Why didn't they call it love phobia? Now, it sounds like the fear of philology.
Guys, the meeting is over.
I'm gonna get going and start with the search, sir.
Move.
Gizem...
-What is this? -Congratulations on your first year.
Thank you so much. You are so kind.
Honey, I've eaten too much.
-Dude, what's wrong? -You are the prophet of doom, Batu!
Is it...
Enough! Sit down! You are totally crazy. Do you really think I'd marry her?
This guy needs to start taking medication. He refuses the only girl he can marry!
Pull yourself together.
You can still be in love in your free time.
"Free time"?
Yes. Your love for Gizem can only be explained by schizophrenia.
-Or masochism. -Darling, or...
It's love!
I'll succeed... but slowly.
-But you have no chance with her anyway. -Why not?
Because she is a journalist and they focus on their careers.
You are a man who wears animal costumes. A little logic is all I'm asking for.
We can help you, but...
You and Gizem goes against the laws of physics.
-Let's place a bet. -Go with all we have, darling.
We are in. Otherwise you're not going to see the truth.
We are in and we're going to help you as well.
He deserves all the tomatoes. Here, dear. Eat all of them.
Eat all of them.
Okay. Let's make our hotel bookings now, right?
Dude, you have one week.
You should get this thing done or the bet won't be the only thing you lost.
And that's how things started.
They say, "Earth was created in six days."
I had exactly six days to create mine.
On the first day, they said, "Let there be light."
LIGHT
Hey, here is a question.
What is essential on a first date?
A, clothing. B, oxygen. C, shark. D, none.
Shark, sister. Because you know that I don't go anywhere without my shark.
I can't find the other pair of green earrings. Did you see them?
Which song would you choose for your first dance?
A, door creaking. B, Antep's Baths. C, Fire of the Dark.
Are you kidding me? I'm already late for my interview.
-These questions are mocking us. -Figen prepares them. Don't you know?
All she knows is mocking.
Sister!
-Do you enjoy giving me a hard time? -Easy, girl.
I'm not sure, but I like it from time to time.
-Do you want to hear the big news? -No.
-Well-- -No.
Today, I'm seeing a guy that I met online.
You can borrow my shark, sister.
Why not?
You scared the hell out of me, Turkan.
You reek of cheap perfume, fried eggs with sucuk and anxiety.
-Yes. You smell of anxiety. -What are you saying?
-Where are you going? -To...
-It's none of your business. -You are going to pick up girls, right?
Turkan, I thought you live alone with your parrot. Why do you care?
I wish you good luck. Run, Forrest, run!
I certainly need luck with these kind of people around me.
Enjoy your meal.
How are you doing? See what I brought for you.
I'm okay, dear.
What good news! I'm very happy for you.
-Didn't you meet him recently? -It was love at first sight.
Why don't you think of marriage?
I need to get back. I'm so happy for you. I wish you happiness.
-Look, Ayse is getting married, too. -That's foolish, sweetheart.
Do I need to get approval from someone to love you?
You are right, but at some point...
-Why do you even get married? Why? -I've got an amazing idea.
The more I thought over it, the more likely it seemed!
You and an amazing idea?
-The end of the world is coming soon. -Darling, wait.
-Tell me, brother. -I'm going directly to the magazine
where Gizem works to declare my love in front of everyone.
It's a good idea, right?
Thank God. If you do that, the end of the world is not coming soon.
-Darling, shall we go to Bodrum? -Of course, sweetheart, why not?
We had promised to help him so that he gets on the right path.
What kind of support is that? I thought women like men with confidence.
