492. Oh, you want to talk to Afshin?Copy !req
493. Yes.
Where is he?Copy !req
494. We're sick of the noise.Copy !req
495. The cows don't give
any more milk.Copy !req
496. They've stopped eating
and drinking.Copy !req
497. They've gone crazy.Copy !req
498. Instead of cleaning cow shit,
we clean up those kids' mess.Copy !req
499. Look!
They're dying of starvation.Copy !req
500. They're not eating.Copy !req
501. We don't dare clean the cowshed.
It's killing us.Copy !req
502. But Afshin's a good kid.Copy !req
503. And he's the boss's son.Copy !req
504. Don't tell him any of this.Copy !req
505. No, of course not.Copy !req

in town drove us out.Copy !req
510. We're okay here with the cows.Copy !req
511. - Play Fences and Prisons.

512. Right, that's what I meant.Copy !req
513. Okay.Copy !req
514. Play something so these guys can
hear what you do.Copy !req
515. We used to play heavy metal,Copy !req
516. but we changed.Copy !req
517. We softened up the lyrics.Copy !req
518. It used to be much heavier,Copy !req
519. but now we sing in Persian.Copy !req
520. It's closer to Iranian culture.Copy !req
521. People can relate to it
more easily.Copy !req
522. You know what our situation is.Copy !req
523. We're trying
to get a band togetherCopy !req
524. so we can leave Iran
and play some shows.Copy !req
525. - But we wanna come back.
- Yeah, sure.Copy !req
526. Okay.Copy !req

- Rehearse together.Copy !req
552. Give me a piece of paper.Copy !req

679. He's been at the police station
constantly lately,Copy !req
680. bailing us out.Copy !req
681. I feel really guilty.Copy !req
682. Recently, this little kid
next door called the police.Copy !req
683. It's really funny!Copy !req
684. Every time we start practicing,
he gets bored home alone,Copy !req
685. so he calls the cops.Copy !req
686. Power's back on!Copy !req
687. Great!Copy !req
688. Turn on the air conditioning.
We'll suffocate.Copy !req
689. It's unbearable.Copy !req
690. Your dad said 10 minutes,
not 15.Copy !req
691. So what about this kid?Copy !req
692. Every time he was home alone,
he'd call the cops.Copy !req
693. When we went to see him,
he just laughed.Copy !req
694. He got wise to us.
He's just making fun of us.Copy !req
695. We became his playthings.Copy !req
696. Instead of toys, he had us
and the cops to play with.Copy !req
697. You understand?Copy !req
698. By the way, Sina,Copy !req
699. I wanted to ask youCopy !req
700. if we could rehearse here.Copy !req
701. Okay, apparently not.Copy !req
702. Secondly,Copy !req
703. we spoke about it last night,Copy !req
704. but are you sure
you don't want to come with us?Copy !req
705. I'd love to,Copy !req
706. but just with this band,Copy !req
707. I barely have enough time
in the day to rehearse.Copy !req
708. And aside from that, there are
other problems I can't discuss.Copy !req
709. - I can't. Sorry.
- What about Arash?Copy !req
710. - He's right, Arash is great.
- Which Arash?Copy !req

715. He's fantastic!Copy !req
716. Koori, what about you?Copy !req
717. I love your music;
it's like ours.Copy !req
718. My only problem is,
I don't have a passport.Copy !req
719. It costs a lot.Copy !req
720. That's no problem.
Nader's on top of it.Copy !req
721. Well, in that case,
there's no problem.Copy !req
722. Like I said.Copy !req
723. Wait, you guys, it's Nader!Copy !req
724. Hello?Copy !req
725. Who?
The police?Copy !req
726. He's just a friend.Copy !req
727. No, we're not his clients.Copy !req
728. - It was the cops.
- They caught him?Copy !req
729. I don't know...
I guess.Copy !req
730. Don't worry.Copy !req
731. The kind of guy he is,
he'll find a way out of it.Copy !req
732. Hello, sir,
where's Office 36, please?Copy !req
733. - To the right and up one floor.
- Thank you.Copy !req
734. Those movies
aren't against Islamic law!Copy !req
735. A few scenes
aren't suitable for kids.Copy !req
736. - Are you mocking me?
- No!Copy !req
737. They found 1,800 films!Copy !req
738. They're for my own personal
viewing!Copy !req
739. - Don’t lie!
- May I burn in hell if I lie!Copy !req
740. On my mother's life!Copy !req
741. Look, those copies
don't play properly.Copy !req
742. One is pixilated,
another cuts out,Copy !req
743. another gets stuck...Copy !req
744. I even tried to clean them
with a sponge!Copy !req
745. - You're making it worse.
- Sorry.Copy !req
746. - You're lying to me.
- Okay, I'll tell you the truth.Copy !req
747. Go ahead.Copy !req
748. I swear on the Koran,
the movies are mine.Copy !req
749. I'm passionate
about films and music.Copy !req
750. There's nothing objectionable
in them.Copy !req
751. There are Muslim films,
Christ, Moses, Noah...Copy !req
752. All of them...
Good films. Some American films.Copy !req
753. But since they embargoed Iran,Copy !req
754. I've been boycotting
American films.Copy !req
755. I swear!Copy !req
756. But I have all the great
European films!Copy !req
757. I'd like you to see some.Copy !req
758. Okay, forget the films.Copy !req
759. What about this?
What about the alcohol?Copy !req
760. May I go to hell if I drink!Copy !req
761. I swear on the Koran!

762. I'm lower than a dog if I drink!Copy !req
763. That's not mine!
The bottle is sealed!Copy !req
764. I haven't drunk.
Smell!Copy !req
765. Close your mouth!
Whose is it?Copy !req
766. How can I prove to you

767. All right...Copy !req
768. Please, on the life
of Imam Hossein,Copy !req
769. don't give me 80 lashes!Copy !req
770. Tell the truth,
I'm getting tired!Copy !req
771. I swear, I have never touched
a drop of alcohol.Copy !req
772. I have an Armenian friend,
a male friend.Copy !req
773. Every time I go to his place,Copy !req
774. he has all kinds of alcohol!Copy !req
775. I bought liquor
when he came over.Copy !req
776. That's the truth.
I swear on the Koran!Copy !req
777. - Not on the Koran!
- On my mother's life!Copy !req
778. Okay.Copy !req
779. I'm fining you 1,500,000
and 75 lashes.Copy !req
780. Why?
1,500,000!Copy !req
781. So what if I bootleg films?Copy !req
782. But who am I?Copy !req
783. All I have is not even worth
2,000,000!Copy !req
784. Stop sniveling!Copy !req
785. What am I worth?Copy !req
786. Go on, take everything!Copy !req
787. My house is smaller
than this place!Copy !req
788. Where would I come up
with that kind of money?Copy !req
789. I'm worth less than a dog
in this country!Copy !req
790. I'm trash!Copy !req
791. Where would I find
that kind of money?Copy !req
792. So I copy DVDs...Copy !req
793. That'll teach me!Copy !req
794. Find me work then!
I'll clean your table!Copy !req
795. I'll sweep your floor!
I'll never break the law again!Copy !req

to 150 tomans.Copy !req
797. But if you say one more word,

through the streetsCopy !req
967. The most unfortunate wretchCopy !req
968. The sound of a voiceless cityCopy !req
969. From where?
The south side...Copy !req
970. Where your breath cannot reachCopy !req
971. Where hopes and dreamsCopy !req
972. Get locked up in cagesCopy !req
973. I'm stuck at a crossroadsCopy !req
974. A tired drifterCopy !req
975. In the middle of a crossroadsCopy !req

982. A tramp full of questions
without answersCopy !req
983. Hundreds of roads and wallsCopy !req
984. In my dreams, I painted themCopy !req
985. Let's see what you did.Copy !req
986. I wrote these lyrics.

997. I've been there aloneCopy !req
998. I've been there with youCopy !req
999. No, not like that.Copy !req
1000. - We should invert it?
- Yes.Copy !req
1001. Okay, sorry.Copy !req
1002. I've been there aloneCopy !req
1003. I've been there with youCopy !req
1004. Believe me, out there,
there's a jungleCopy !req
1005. We can really count on Babak.Copy !req
1006. We should talk to him
about using the studio for free.Copy !req
1007. Sure, but I don't know.
It gets really crowded here.Copy !req
1008. - Do you know how much it costs?
- No, I'll ask.Copy !req
1009. Did you get a permit?Copy !req
1010. There's no way.Copy !req
1011. Why not?
Your music's fine.Copy !req
1012. I think so too, honestly.Copy !req
1013. We always abide by two things.Copy !req
1014. Nothing that goes
against society's moral codesCopy !req
1015. and no politics.Copy !req
1016. We have no fear.Copy !req
1017. That's just what we believe.Copy !req
1018. You'll see.Copy !req
1019. Do you guys use brass
and harmonicas?Copy !req

1021. I told you about Ashkan, right?Copy !req
1022. So do you want to work with us?Copy !req

take a lot of planning.Copy !req
1025. We can't have things
falling apart halfway through.Copy !req
1026. - Yeah, sure.
- It's an investment.Copy !req
1027. Don't worry.Copy !req
1028. We're trying to cover
every last detail.Copy !req
1029. For example, we have a songCopy !req
1030. that would sound really good
with wind instruments.Copy !req
1031. It'd sound great
in the background.Copy !req
1032. No problem.Copy !req
1033. What do you play?Copy !req
1034. Diatonic, chromatic...Copy !req
1035. Let's play Tonight,

female vocalists.Copy !req
1050. They'll never
let a girl sing alone.Copy !req
1051. Yeah, I've heard that too.Copy !req
1052. You need female backing singers.Copy !req
1053. Otherwise, no permit.Copy !req
1054. We might wait three years
for a permitCopy !req
1055. at the Censorship Bureau,
like the rest of them.Copy !req
1056. There are several options.Copy !req
1057. Either you sing solo, or...Copy !req
1058. - Pull over!
- What do they want?Copy !req
1059. - What should I do, Ashkan?
- What do these cops want?Copy !req
1060. I don't know.Copy !req

to have dogs outside!Copy !req
1071. It's filthy, brother!Copy !req
1072. This isn't one of those dogs.Copy !req
1073. He's clean,
he's been vaccinated!Copy !req
1074. He has a German ID!Copy !req
1075. Give it to me!Copy !req
1076. - Give me the dog!
- All right! Wait a minute!Copy !req
1077. We've not...Copy !req
1078. Come on, higher.Copy !req
1079. - Don't do that! Officer!

1092. And for what?Copy !req
1093. He said he'd show us
one of the passports.Copy !req
1094. Well, where is it?Copy !req
1095. - Ashkan!

1096. It's no problem.Copy !req
1097. Please! "No problem"!
