The first 200 lines.
APRIL 23, 1994 YALOVA
I wish children would rule the world.
I give up my office for one day to children who are our future.
For today, our District Governor will be Ferhat and his assistant will be Gokhan.
And the world becomes a better place for one day.
Move, move.
Handsome, go get me a cup of tea.
Right away, Mr. District Governor. Where is the tea maker?
Since I have the office now, you can take your leave, Mr. District Governor.
I'm in control now.
Thank you for your service.
Security, do your job.
Are we going to wait for him to leave all day? He's sitting right there.
What is going on?
As you can see, people, we just literally took over a chaos.
I'm saying this to those who are tenured and think they are safe.
If you're not willing to work,
you should better go and find a new job.
I need hardworking employees more than anything else.
Exactly Mr. District Governor. There are 200 people working here,
but still there is not even a tea shop.
If you all take turns at making tea each day,
how much money would we keep in our vault?
If each of them had two cups of tea each day,
we would save three million liras per day.
That is a nice amount of cash these days. A treasure if you know how to use it.
You can take care of your family with that amount of money.
Who am I talking to, though? He's giving me a blank look.
What are you looking at?
That is enough shooting for today. Reporters, out!
Where did you find these kids?
Sir, he's my boy. I think he got excited.
-He's not one of us. -No, he's not.
Today is our blessed day. Let’s live a happy life.
APRIL 23, 1994 BURSA
Today is April, 23. Our hearts are filled with joy.
Look how she's reading it nicely, Muzaffer.
Well done, my girl.
No! She will be an engineer.
We cross that bridge when we come to it.
No, she will be an engineer next year.
They are doing a nice job. He's wearing a free costume and props,
but we had to pay a lot for her tailored costume.
Stop it, for God's sake.
AFTER 10 YEARS BURSA
Muzaffer, it seems like you cut corners on promotional materials.
It wasn’t supposed to be like this, right?
What the hell?
Anyway,
why would we want to show off with an umbrella?
We did it for advertisement, that’s it.
Is this place a charity organization, wife?
Her sister is like her also.
If I had a bright son,
I’d own my own skyscraper today.
Ferhat, people are getting restless, don’t stare at them like that.
Right there, we put some mirrors behind people to see their screens.
They look like they are working but I'm not buying it.
They play solitaire and minesweeper all day.
-What is it to you? -What do you mean, dad?
I don’t want to take over a ruin when I become CEO of this company.
Why don’t we expand like Efe Sultan does?
Kirilgan to Atilgan, over. Kirilgan to Atilgan, over.
I have the security cameras facing the computer screens,
and eight people are playing games, four are reading the news,
and three are pretending like they are working.
I noted them down. These are not workers,
they are like dynamites ready to blow us out.
Well, how about that? Watch out for these two boys, Zeki.
They will grow so fast.
Invest in these two boys, not in gold or foreign currency.
AND 2018 BURSA
How does this happen?
It boggles my mind.
There has to have an explanation.
All those scientists and thinkers should say something already!
It is It is a work of art.
How can two mortals come together and create something like this?
This is literally a divine signal.
I will jinx myself, look at that beauty!
Magnificent.
Yes. Why am I being disturbed?
Our employees do not want to work overtime, Mr. Ferhat.
"Want"? What kind of word is that?
Back then, you’d have to fight with a lion to make a living.
Now, there are no more lions roaming around.
What do you mean you don’t want to work overtime?
But sir, I'm pregnant.
Did I come from a tree hole, my friend?
Wasn’t my mother pregnant with me?
We’ve been there, but that hasn’t delayed our work ethics.
-But this is so hard for us, Mr. Gokhan. -Say again?
This is so hard for us, Mr. Gokhan.
It is hard for me too.
As the financial director of this company,
it is very hard for me to pay you millions of liras every single month.
When payday comes, I go home and cry.
But you don’t pay overtime, Mr. Gokhan.
Pardon?
But you don’t pay overtime, Mr. Gokhan.
Have you done anything in your life
without expecting something in return, Mr. Emre?
What kind of people are these, Mr. Ferhat?
We have one week to submit a proposal for a high-value tender.
I’ve been asking them to work overtime to get ready, as a favor.
And they want overtime pay in return.
When you do a favor, would you want something in return?
Especially from this beauty?
At Efe Sultan’s company, people are paid half of your salaries.
They offer sacrifices to their gods if they get paid on time.
Even water is not free in that company. As for our company...
there is no water.
But we allow you to bring your own water from outside.
With our permission. What else should we do?
We are the only company with a paid parking lot. We can’t drive to work.
This is the point, my friend.
We all need oxygen.
Use public transports.
How can everything be free?
-Is this your father’s company? -No, sir.
But it is my father’s.
I fired my own father from his own company because of he was slacking off work!
Work discipline is crucial!
We need hard-working employees more than anything!
My father is coming.
Remember that work and family are separate things.
Respect your father. Let this be an example for you.
Now, get back to work.
You, have those tattoos erased! This is not Detroit.
Welcome, father. I wish you’ve told me you were coming.
I'm shaking your hand because I don’t want to embarrass you
in front of your employees. Go to your office! We need to talk.
Yes, sir.
Sure, I can give you five minutes. Since you're my father.
Weren’t we a good role model for you, son?
Why do you go and choose Goliath
as a role model? Are you an imbecile, son?
Won’t you let me have a peaceful retirement?
-It was my time for fishing! -What happened, dad?
Are these people your slaves?
Today is Sunday, you fool, and everyone is here!
Why don’t you give them a holiday?
They don’t even want it, daddy.
They don’t want to give up this peaceful work environment.
Zip it, don’t lie to me!
Be honest with me,
since we are a bigger company now, and things are going pretty well
after your retirement, are you a little bit jealous?
Would Geppetto be jealous of Pinocchio?
You piece of wood!
Why would I be jealous of you?
Father, as you know,
I’ve made this company two times bigger in a year.
As your mother know,
I made you in the back seat of the car in four minutes.
Am I bragging about this?
These people have lives and families, son.
Show some understanding.
If necessary, take their work load and do it by yourself.
A manager would even mop his own office floor if need be.
With all those windows, dad? People would see me mopping the floor.
I won’t embarrass myself by letting them see me cleaning my office.
I never saw you clean your own office. Give me a break.
You think I would be ashamed of that? Let them see, I don’t care.
-Where are the bucket and the mop? -There, in the cabinet.
Watch me now.
That is not beneath me. Maybe this will be a lesson for you.
I will be right back.
Listen to me, all of you! When it comes to my work,
I won't make concessions even to my own father.
He begged me to hire him again.
I said, no.
He said, “I can’t look after your mother, I’d even mop the floors if I have to.”
There!
You see him with your own eyes. My old man is mopping the floor.
Mr. Ferhat, what are you doing? He's your father.
This was his company in the first place.
And he had to work really hard!
This is not a charity organization!
Anyway,
I'm a considerate person.
After all, he's my father. I should give him another job.
He can’t do it right anyway.
Do I have to teach him everything?
That’s not how you do it. I will do it myself.
Leave it, dad. What are you doing?
Get back to work!
Dad, what are you doing?
I understand my mistakes. I won’t do them again, I promise.
Well, bravo. This is a progress, anyway.
If they can’t do their jobs, I would do it for them!
That’s it!
Don’t make me come here again.
Don’t let him be your role model.
Race with yourself, not with other people.
Dad, he's doing it on purpose.
On the 50th floor, no one would see his billboard but me.
He won’t let me forget about him.
-Give me some water. I'm tired. -Sure.
I know what You're thinking.
