56. God himself told me,
And the teacher too.Copy !req

58. Lies! The teacher says...Copy !req
59. Shh...Copy !req
60. That's what they say.Copy !req
61. I'll tell you how it happened.Copy !req
62. Truth is that 50 years ago,
the Shah's father, an officer,Copy !req
63. wanted to overthrow the
Qadjar emperor.Copy !req
64. I'll do like Ataturk!
I'll modernise the country.Copy !req
65. I'll create a republic!Copy !req
66. But the English heard about it.Copy !req

69. Me? Emperor?Copy !req
70. Of course!
It's better than president.Copy !req
71. You'll have full powers.Copy !req
72. A country like yoursCopy !req
73. needs a strong man like you
to rule it.Copy !req
74. Hmm... It's quite true.Copy !req
75. And also... you know that
the clergyCopy !req
76. is against the republic.Copy !req
77. Between us, he's right.Copy !req
78. What must I do?Copy !req
79. Nothing. You give us the oil.Copy !req
80. We'll take care of the rest.Copy !req
81. Now, I am the king!
Everything that belong to you is mine.Copy !req

88. Our people will shine again!Copy !req
89. Yes, the Shah's father
has been very hard.Copy !req
90. He put your grandpa in prison.Copy !req
91. But his son was ten times worse.Copy !req
92. Grandpa has been in prison?Copy !req
93. Yes! He was a member of
the royal family.Copy !req
94. He was a Qadjar prince. The Shah's
father took everything from him.Copy !req
95. He went to prison mainly because
he was a communist.Copy !req
96. My grandpa was a Qadjar prince
and also a communist!Copy !req
97. My god! You're still alive.
I was worried.Copy !req
98. - They shot on people!
- It was hot.Copy !req
99. We escaped but we got caught later.Copy !req
100. Those sons of bitches
took my films.Copy !req
101. - We were at the police station.
- Marji was overexcited.Copy !req
102. She was a pain in the neck with the
proletarians, the class struggleCopy !req
103. and this bearded man,
"Che Guevero."Copy !req
104. The guy who was killed
wasn't even 20 years old.Copy !req
105. What is this country?Copy !req
106. - It's one hell of a mess, daughter.

124. And now you're a young lady.Copy !req
125. Who is this guy?Copy !req
126. My father. He was in prison.Copy !req
127. He's a hero.Copy !req
128. Those scientists knew the
human body very well.Copy !req
129. They knew how to hit
where it hurts.Copy !req
130. I've been lashed with
large electric wire cables.Copy !req
131. My foot doesn't look
like a foot anymore.Copy !req
132. Why? Because there are nerves going
straight to the brain under the feet.Copy !req
133. It's an indescribable pain.Copy !req
134. Our torturers had been
trained by the CIA.Copy !req
135. They were at the
forefront of torture.Copy !req
136. What about Hamid?
What happened to him?Copy !req
137. Hamid has been murdered.Copy !req
138. As a member of the guerilla,
it was hell for him.Copy !req
139. He had some cyanide with him.Copy !req
140. But unfortunately,
he couldn't use it.Copy !req
141. So he endured the worst tortures.Copy !req
142. The one who loses will be
tortured to the death.Copy !req
143. - Cool!
- What kind of torture?Copy !req
144. He will be lashed with
a big cable on the head!Copy !req
145. But first, he'll have to put
that in his mouth.Copy !req
146. And chew three times.Copy !req
147. Yeah!Copy !req
148. Look, it's Ramine!Copy !req
149. Farzad told me that his father was a
member of the Shah's secret service.Copy !req
150. His father killed a million of
people with his own hands!Copy !req
151. A million!Copy !req
152. Absolutely.Copy !req
153. We'll give Ramine a lesson
in their name.Copy !req
154. Yeah! We'll gouge his eyes out!Copy !req
155. Marjane!Copy !req
156. What are you doing?Copy !req
157. - Marji found some nails.
- We're gonna smash Ramine's face.Copy !req
158. Would you like it if
I nailed you by the ears?Copy !req
159. Go back home, get into your room
and stay there.Copy !req
160. Marjane, what's happening to you?Copy !req
161. It's not a behavior worthy
of a prophetess.Copy !req
162. But God,
Ramine's father killed people!Copy !req
163. Marjane, this poor Ramine
must not bear the burdenCopy !req
164. of his father's mistakes.Copy !req
165. Bad guys will pay sooner or later.
Have faith in my justice.Copy !req
166. Your duty is to forgive,
not to make justice.Copy !req
167. Ramine?Copy !req
168. What do you want?Copy !req
169. Listen, your father is a murderer,
but it's not your fault.Copy !req
170. And so I forgive you.Copy !req
171. He killed communists,
and communists are the devil!Copy !req
172. The country was euphoricCopy !req
173. during the months following
the Shah's departure.Copy !req
174. Everybody had been a revolutionary
and had fought the Shah.Copy !req
175. The wine stain on our neighbour's faceCopy !req
176. had changed into a war wound.Copy !req
177. Our teacher, admirer of the shah,Copy !req
178. ordered us to tear off all the
pictures of the royal family.Copy !req
179. Political meetings were increasing
and yesterday's enemiesCopy !req
180. had become heroes of the nation.Copy !req
181. It's in this climate that, one night,
uncle Anouche appeared in my life.Copy !req
182. From now on, everything will be better.
Nothing will stop the people.Copy !req
183. We'll finally have a free
and fair society.Copy !req

Are you a communist?Copy !req
190. Marji, let your uncle digest!Copy !req
191. She wants to know everything.Copy !req
192. It's a good thing to be curious.Copy !req
193. Have you digested?Copy !req
194. Go to bed!Copy !req
195. But!Copy !req
196. Put your pajamas on and I'll come.Copy !req
197. Did you see?
They're preparing the elections.Copy !req
198. People will want
to keep their freedomCopy !req
199. after this dictatorship.Copy !req
200. It will never be worse
than under the Shah.Copy !req
201. I'm ready!Copy !req
202. You'll see,
she'll eat your brain.Copy !req
203. I'm ready!Copy !req
204. I'll start with the beginning.Copy !req
205. I was 18 years old when
my uncle and his friendsCopy !req
206. declared the independence of
Azerbaidjan's Iranian province.Copy !req
207. Wow!Copy !req
208. Fereydoun appointed himself as
minister of Justice of this republic.Copy !req
209. Justice is the basis of democracy.Copy !req
210. Men must be equal
in front of the law.Copy !req
211. I became his secretary.Copy !req
212. It's just a beginning.
We'll free Iran from dictatorship.Copy !req
213. Province by province,
city by city.Copy !req
214. I'm sure of it!Copy !req
215. It wasn't easy for me because
my father was loyal to the Shah.Copy !req
216. My son is a traitor!
Go and meet my stupid brother!Copy !req
217. You'll all be shot!
Shot!Copy !req
218. My father couldn't have been
more right. One morning...Copy !req
219. My God! Fereydoun!Copy !req
220. I had to escape.
I had no choice.Copy !req
221. While my uncle was facing
his destiny alone...Copy !req
222. I walked for days in the storm.Copy !req
223. I was hungry, I was cold,
but I kept going.Copy !req
224. I crossed Alborz mountains
to take refuge at my parents home,Copy !req
225. in Astara.Copy !req
226. Who dares bother me at this hour?Copy !req
227. My God, Anouche!
My God!Copy !req
228. It's our son, he's almost dead.Copy !req
229. My dear son!Copy !req
230. My son...Copy !req
231. My dear son, forgive me!Copy !req
232. I couldn't stay, I was wanted.Copy !req
233. I had to go into exile.Copy !req
234. I swam across the Aras river
and I arrived in USSR.Copy !req

236. I went to Leningrad.Copy !req
237. Then to Moscow, I got my doctorate
in Marxism-Leninism.Copy !req
238. But I was missing my family.Copy !req
239. I tried to come back by train
with forged identity papers
but it didn't work.Copy !req
240. - They arrested me.
- Then you went to prison?Copy !req
241. Yes. You know...Copy !req
242. It's important that you know.Copy !req
243. The memory of the family
must not be forgotten.Copy !req
244. Even if it's hard,
even if you don't understand everything.Copy !req
245. Don't worry, uncle Anouche.
I'll never forget.Copy !req
246. Were you married in Russia?Copy !req
247. It's late. You must sleep.Copy !req
248. Here, it's for you.Copy !req
249. I made it in prison.Copy !req
250. It's made of breadcrumbs.Copy !req
251. 99,99% of the people
voted democraticallyCopy !req
252. for the islamic republic.Copy !req
253. It's normal. Each revolution
has its transition period.Copy !req
254. Half the country is illiterate.Copy !req
255. Only nationalism or religious
ethics rally people.Copy !req
256. Mina left the country.
She thinks it's too dangerous.Copy !req
257. We found Mohsen drowned
in the bath tube.Copy !req
258. Don't worry.
Everything will be fine.Copy !req
259. Siamak and his family left.
Those bastards killed his sister.Copy !req
260. Maybe we should leave too.Copy !req
261. You could be a cleaning lady
and me, a taxi driver.Copy !req
262. We'll get rid of the
antirevolutionaries.Copy !req
263. Between them and us, there's only
one law, the law of blood.Copy !req
264. - Marji?
- Yes?Copy !req
265. They arrested Anouche.Copy !req
266. I know.Copy !req
267. - Daddy!
- It will be all right, honey.Copy !req
268. Do you want to do
something for him?Copy !req
269. Anouche can have one visitor only.
You're the one he wants to see.Copy !req
270. I'll go.Copy !req
271. Ten minutes.Copy !req
272. What a nice dress!Copy !req
273. What a nice little girl!Copy !req
274. Your visit honours me.Copy !req
275. You're the little girl
I wish I would have had.Copy !req
276. But you'll see, one day,
proletariat will ruleCopy !req
277. Here.Copy !req
278. I made another swan with
breadcrumbs for you.Copy !req
279. It's the first one's uncle.Copy !req

284. Shut up!
I don't want to see you again!Copy !req

286. Go away!Copy !req
287. One year after the revolution,
Iraq attacked Iran.Copy !req
288. Saddam took advantage of the
country's weakness to strike.Copy !req
289. The revolution and the army

293. Arrests and executions increased.Copy !req
294. Everybody was scared.Copy !req
295. The new government established

our everyday life changed.Copy !req
297. And so did we.Copy !req
298. Come on!Copy !req
299. On the heart for our martyrs!Copy !req
300. Sons and daughters of Iran,Copy !req

408. To make things bearable,Copy !req
409. people were partying in secret.Copy !req

425. That's enough!Copy !req
426. How dare you talk to me like that?Copy !req
427. Shut up!Copy !req
428. Listen.Copy !req
429. I could be your mother.Copy !req
430. How old are you?
My daughter is 13.Copy !req
431. You'd be in hell without your wife.Copy !req
432. Thank you!Copy !req
433. Get in! We're going to your placeCopy !req
434. to check if there are some bottles.Copy !req
435. Grandma, Marji, you go first.Copy !req
436. Empty all the bottles.Copy !req
437. - But how?
- Don't worry, my daughter.Copy !req
438. I was used to it with your father.Copy !req
439. We had to hide the flyers.Copy !req
440. Listen, the neighbour on the same
floor is a bit old.Copy !req
441. He has a heart condition.
He could dieCopy !req
442. if we make too much noise.
Can we come to an agreement?Copy !req
443. Hey! Where are you going?Copy !req
444. I'm diabetic, son.
I have to drink some syrup.Copy !req
445. Diabetic?
Like my mother.Copy !req
446. Go ahead then.Copy !req
447. Where are the others?Copy !req
448. Their arrogance isn't ideological.
A few bank notes were enough.Copy !req
449. Tell me,
did you throw everything away?Copy !req
450. Well, yes!Copy !req
451. Shit!Copy !req
452. It's his heart again.Copy !req
453. They wanted to stop the communists.Copy !req
454. They threw a grenade.
Taher couldn't endure it.Copy !req
455. He was lying on the ground
when I arrived.Copy !req
456. Everything will be all right.Copy !req
457. No, it won't.Copy !req
458. He must have an
open-heart operation.Copy !req
459. They can't afford it here.Copy !req
460. He must be sent to England.Copy !req
461. I went to see the administrative
director of the hospital.Copy !req
462. It's unbelievable.
Do you know who he was?Copy !req
463. My old window cleaner.Copy !req
464. I pretended not to recognise
this moron.Copy !req
465. Only people who are seriously ill
can leave the country.Copy !req
466. My husband had three heart attacks.Copy !req
467. He must be operated or he'll die.Copy !req
468. We'll do our best.Copy !req
469. If God wants it, he'll get better.
Everything depends on God.Copy !req
470. I need your authorization
for his passport.Copy !req
471. If God wants it.Copy !req
472. This asshole grew a beard
and wears a suit.Copy !req
473. And now he's a director!Copy !req
474. My husband's fate depends onCopy !req
475. a window cleaner!Copy !req
476. He doesn't even look women in
the eyes anymore.Copy !req
477. Fucking asshole!Copy !req
478. I know someone who
makes passports.Copy !req
479. Calm down.
It'll be all right.Copy !req
480. Wait!
I'm coming with you.Copy !req
481. Where did I put it?Copy !req
482. Ha! Here it is!Copy !req
483. Look at that.Copy !req
484. It looks like a real one.Copy !req
485. A month work,
just for this stamp!Copy !req
486. What's your name?Copy !req
487. How much time do you need?Copy !req
488. Passports are very much in demand.Copy !req
489. I make a living with that.
They closed my publishing business.Copy !req
490. It takes 15 days,
but I'll do it in a week.Copy !req
491. Great. Be quick.Copy !req
492. It's Niloufar.Copy !req
493. This is Ebi,Copy !req
494. Anouche's brother,
I talked to you about him.Copy !req
495. Hello.Copy !req
496. She is a communist too.Copy !req
497. Her brother was my messenger.
I'm hiding her in my cellar.Copy !req
498. It's the only place
where she's safe.Copy !req
499. Is he stupid or what?Copy !req
500. He's gonna get crushed!Copy !req
501. Here! That's what I said!Copy !req
502. Don't look.Copy !req
503. - It's too ugly.
- Grandma, stop it!Copy !req
504. What of piece of shit! Apart
from cutting their stomach openCopy !req
505. and making disgusting monsters,
those Japanese can't do anything.Copy !req
506. Grandma, do you think that
uncle Taher is gonna die?Copy !req
507. - Of course.
- Really? You think so?Copy !req
508. If he doesn't find any passport
to leave, he won't make it.Copy !req
509. He shouldn't have smoked so much.Copy !req
510. What a load of crap!
His heart is sickCopy !req
511. because his children are far away.Copy !req
512. One portion of hot beans please.Copy !req
513. Children always leave
sooner or later.Copy !req
514. But being separated from your 13 years
old children because of war is absurd!Copy !req
515. It can break anyone's heart.Copy !req
516. I'd be dead already if I were him.Copy !req
517. May God exterminate those barbarians.Copy !req
518. May God hear you.Copy !req
519. Hello? Ha, Khosrow, is that you?Copy !req
520. So, what's up?Copy !req
521. They arrested Niloufar.
I have to escape!Copy !req
522. Hello?Copy !req
523. Khosrow?Copy !req
524. Hello?Copy !req
525. Niloufar was executed.Copy !req
526. Khosrow escape by the mountains
in Turkey and went to Sweden.Copy !req
527. Uncle Taher was buried
three weeks after these events.Copy !req
528. The war intensified.Copy !req
529. Let me pass!Copy !req
530. Sorry!Copy !req
531. Let me pass!Copy !req
532. Stop!Copy !req
533. I live over there!Copy !req
534. Go.Copy !req
535. - Marji!
- Mom!Copy !req
536. Are you all right?Copy !req
537. Yes, honey.
I'm fine.Copy !req
538. Where did the missile go?Copy !req
539. It hit the Baba Levys.Copy !req
540. What? The Baba Levys?Copy !req
541. Thanks to the government, we don't
have any political prisoners left.Copy !req
542. Madam?Copy !req
543. We finally earned our freedom.Copy !req
544. - Madam?
- What?Copy !req
545. It's the new government that ordered
the execution of my uncle.Copy !req
546. From 3000 prisoners during the Shah,
we now have 300000 with you.Copy !req
547. How dare you lie?Copy !req
548. Stop it!Copy !req
549. Who was it?Copy !req
550. The school. Marji put the religion
teacher to her place.Copy !req
551. - Again?
- Yes.Copy !req
552. She takes after her uncle.Copy !req
553. Do you want her to end like
her uncle, executed?Copy !req
554. Do you know what they do to
young women like Niloufar?Copy !req
555. The law forbids to kill a virgin.Copy !req
556. She was forced to marry a guard.Copy !req
557. Then he took her virginity before
executing her!Copy !req
558. Do you understand?Copy !req
559. If someone touches one of her
hair, I'll kill him!Copy !req
560. A little later, they decided
to send me abroad.Copy !req
561. Since I had studied at
the French school in Teheran,Copy !req
562. I'd go to the French school in Vienna.
My father managed to get me a visa.Copy !req
563. My mother's best friend
was supposed to take me in.Copy !req
564. The day before my departure,
grandma came to sleep at home.Copy !req
565. Every morning she would put fresh jasmine
flowers in her bra.Copy !req
566. When she was taking it off, the
flowers would fall from her breasts.Copy !req
567. It was magical.Copy !req
568. How do you manage to have
such round breasts at your age?Copy !req
569. Everyday I put them for 10 minutes
in bowl of icy cold water.Copy !req
570. I'll miss you.Copy !req
571. I'll come and see you.Copy !req
572. Listen.Copy !req
573. I'm gonna give you an advice
that will always be useful.Copy !req
574. In your life, you'll meet
a lot of assholes.Copy !req
575. Remember that it's stupidity
that pushes them to be evil.Copy !req
576. It will prevent you from
answering to their nastiness.Copy !req
577. Because there's nothing worse
than bitterness and vengeance.Copy !req
578. Always remain worthy and
true to yourself.Copy !req
579. You'll see,
everything will be all right.Copy !req
580. No tears.
Think about your future.Copy !req
581. Europe is opening to you.Copy !req
582. When you'll arrive in Vienna,
eat a sachertorte.Copy !req
583. It's a delicious chocolate cake.
We'll come to see you.Copy !req
584. You're a grown up.
No tears!Copy !req
585. - Daddy...
- Enough.Copy !req
586. You must leave.Copy !req
587. Never forget who you are
and where you come from.Copy !req
588. My daughter.Copy !req
589. - Mom!
- My little Marji.Copy !req
590. Europe opened itself to me,
but not like I imagined.Copy !req
591. After a few days at
my mother's friend home,Copy !req
592. she decided that their apartment
was too small to accomodate me.Copy !req
593. She found me a convent
where I would be very well looked afterCopy !req
594. according to her.Copy !req
595. What?Copy !req
596. Was?Copy !req
597. Huh?Copy !req
598. I found shelves of productsCopy !req
599. that no longer existed
in my country.Copy !req
600. For a while,Copy !req
601. going to the supermarket
was my favorite pastime...Copy !req
602. favorite pastime...Copy !req
603. favorite pastime...Copy !req
604. Anyway! It was urgent that
I made some new friends.Copy !req
605. Fortunately, at the French school,
I could understand everyoneCopy !req
606. and be understood.Copy !req
607. Do you have a smoke?Copy !req
608. Quickly, the school's marginals
were interested in me.Copy !req
609. There was Momo, Thierry,
Olivier and Eve.Copy !req
610. My nationality and my history
were fascinating them.Copy !req
611. You saw a revolution and a war?Copy !req
612. - Yeah.
- Did you see many dead people?Copy !req
613. Err... A few.Copy !req
614. Wow!Copy !req
615. Terrific.Copy !req
616. I was soon a member of the band.Copy !req
617. With Momo,
I discovered nonchalance,Copy !req
618. a forced nihilism concept and
the Vienna's alternative life.Copy !req
619. I admit that at the beginning
it was a little difficult.Copy !req
620. And after all, why not?Copy !req
621. I was trying to convince myself
that I had found my place.Copy !req
622. But I remained different.Copy !req
623. Holidays were sure
to remind me of it.Copy !req
624. Shit, Christmas again!
I'll have to see my whole family.Copy !req
625. All this because of
an American invention.Copy !req
626. Santa Claus is in red and white becauseCopy !req
627. it was a mascot for Coca-Cola.Copy !req
628. I'll be bored to death in Monte-Carlo.Copy !req
629. Monte-Carlo is still all right.Copy !req
630. Me, I'm gonna see my father in Brazil,
what a load of crap!Copy !req
631. It's at least a 13 hours flight!Copy !req
632. Holidays are scraps left to the pleb.Copy !req
633. If the anarchists had won,
we wouldn't work anymore.Copy !req
634. Is everything all right, my dear?Copy !req
635. Good.
What are you doing for Christmas?Copy !req
636. So?Copy !req
637. She'll be with some friends
from shool. Be careful.Copy !req
638. Is there anything you need?Copy !req
639. You're right, enjoy it.
Kisses.Copy !req
640. Eat some fruits and vegetables.Copy !req
641. Is this a common behavior?Copy !req
642. What?Copy !req
643. - The way you're eating?
- We can eat in front of the TV.Copy !req
644. Maybe, but not in a saucepan.Copy !req
645. So it's true,
Iranians have no education.Copy !req
646. Is it true that you were
all prostitutes before?Copy !req
647. Oh!Copy !req
648. It was the beginning of
a series of moves.Copy !req
649. I was flying from
apartment to apartment.Copy !req
650. First Eve and her mother took me in.Copy !req
651. After that I was living
with 8 homosexuals.Copy !req
652. Next, I was living in a maid room
then at some friends home,Copy !req
653. and at some friends of
some friends home,Copy !req
654. to finally end in
Frau Doktor Schloss villa.Copy !req
655. She was a retired
philosophy teacher.Copy !req
656. To sum up, she was nuts.Copy !req
657. The rent is 2000 schillings a month.Copy !req
658. - You like dogs, don't you?
- Yes, yes. I love them.Copy !req
659. Yuki adopted you.Copy !req
660. Dogs have a sixth sense.Copy !req
661. They recognise good people.Copy !req
662. I decided to become integrated
during the next year.Copy !req
663. But sometimes, western culture
remained a mistery.Copy !req
664. Jawoll! Jawoll!Copy !req
665. I had to improve my knowledge.Copy !req
666. From Sartre to Bakounin,
from Zweig to Freud...Copy !req
667. I read everything I could.Copy !req
668. But I understood that some things
would be beyond me forever.Copy !req
669. Did you see?
That fat pig Waldheim has been elected.Copy !req
670. I want to puke!Copy !req
671. It can't last any longer.
We must demonstrate!Copy !req
672. All of this is hot air.Copy !req
673. Life is empty.Copy !req
674. When man realises it,Copy !req
675. he creates games with rulers and...Copy !req
676. Bullshit!
Life isn't absurd!Copy !req
677. People give their life for freedom!Copy !req
678. My uncle didn't die for fun.Copy !req
679. Fucking asshole!Copy !req
680. My feeling of disarray was immense.Copy !req
681. I was safe here while my loved ones
were enduring the war.Copy !req
682. I couldn't let go of this
feeling of guilt.Copy !req
683. I wanted to live like
a girl of my age.Copy !req
684. Time for changes was appoaching.Copy !req
685. Within a few months,
I became a young woman.Copy !req
686. It was a time of endlessly
repeating ugliness.Copy !req
687. First, I grew 18 cm.
Then my face changed.Copy !req
688. My face got longer, my right eye
got bigger, followed by my chin.Copy !req
689. My right hand became huge,
then it was my left foot.Copy !req
690. My nose got three time bigger.
My breast grew.Copy !req
691. My buttocks appeared,
thus restoring my centre of gravity.Copy !req
692. And to top it all, a huge mole
appeared on my nose.Copy !req
693. You see, Yuki? I told you.
She's a whore!Copy !req
694. What shitty music!Copy !req
695. There are only assholes here.Copy !req
696. Bakounin wanted the socialist
resolutions to be voted.Copy !req
697. We wouldn't be where we are.Copy !req
698. Really?Copy !req
699. Capitalism is eating away
our society, don't you see?Copy !req
700. Yeah, of course. Well...
Where are you from... Marie-Jeanne?Copy !req
701. Yeah... I'm from...
I'm French.Copy !req
702. Ha? I wouldn't have guessed.
Last year I was in Paris.Copy !req
703. Excuse me, I must go.Copy !req
704. Okay. Well then, bye.Copy !req
705. So you're French now?Copy !req
706. Grandma, stop it.Copy !req
707. It was just a question.Copy !req
708. I didn't know you were French.Copy !req
709. Do you think it's easy to be Iranian?Copy !req
710. People look at me
as if I am a savage.Copy !req
711. To them, we're just screaming fanatics,
fighting each other.Copy !req
712. Is it a reason to disown your origins?Copy !req
713. Remember what I told you.Copy !req
714. Be true to yourself.Copy !req
715. Do you know what she told my brother?Copy !req
716. That she was French.Copy !req
717. - I'm not kidding.
- Did he believe her?Copy !req
718. What? Did you see her face?Copy !req
719. - He wanted to chat her up?
- Don't be ridiculous!Copy !req
720. I'd kill myself if
he went out with this ugly ducking.Copy !req
721. Shut the fuck up!Copy !req
722. I'm Iranian and proud to be one!Copy !req
723. After 3 years in Austria
I was finally feeling good.Copy !req
724. Momo, Thierry, Eve and Olivier
had left school.Copy !req
725. I had new friends.Copy !req
726. There was Birgit, a 30 years old
hippie with the face of an old child.Copy !req
727. She had a house in the forest
where she organised "anarchist" parties.Copy !req
728. The State could rest easy.
Those so-called anarchist meetingsCopy !req
729. were just a pretext to drink
beer and eat sausages.Copy !req
730. I met Fernando at one
of these parties.Copy !req
731. When I saw him, I immediately knew
that he was the man of my life.Copy !req
732. Marjane, are you here?Copy !req
733. Ha!Copy !req
734. Last night, I finally understood,
thanks to you.Copy !req
735. You revealed me to myself.Copy !req
736. If it doesn't work with you,
it won't work with any girl.Copy !req
737. I know it, now.
I am homosexual.Copy !req
738. Ha! It's good to say it.Copy !req
739. Thank you, Marjane. Thank you.Copy !req
740. You're welcome.Copy !req
741. I swore that I wouldn't let
myself be caught at it again.Copy !req
742. I won't let myself
be caught at it again!Copy !req
743. Love is a conventional feeling!Copy !req
744. But "Life is life",
as the other losers sang it.Copy !req
745. One morning in november,
Markus came into my life.Copy !req
746. Shall I walk you back?Copy !req
747. I had finally found love.Copy !req
748. Nothing was frightening me.
The future looked radiant.Copy !req
749. Markus was to become a great writer.Copy !req
750. He was reading me extracts from
his play in his room.Copy !req
751. We were as one.Copy !req
752. I bought some croissants!Copy !req
753. Oh!Copy !req
754. Wait.
It's not what you think.Copy !req
755. Marjane, I love you!Copy !req
756. I love you!Copy !req
757. I can't find my brooch.Copy !req
758. It's you who stole it!Copy !req
759. Leave me alone.Copy !req
760. I shan't let it rest at that!Copy !req
761. Bloody thief!Copy !req
762. Go to hell!
I hate you!Copy !req
763. You and your fucking dog!Copy !req
764. Don't talk like that about my dog.
Where are you going?Copy !req
765. - You won't get away with it so easily.
- Fuck off!Copy !req
766. Bloody thief!
Give me my brooch back!Copy !req
767. I'll call the police!
Come back!Copy !req
768. How could I be so stupid?
I was all over him.Copy !req
769. I'm a stupid cunt, cunt, cunt!Copy !req
770. How could I fall in love with
this scumbag, this skinflint?Copy !req
771. Shall I take you back?Copy !req
772. I must fill it up.
Do we split 50-50?Copy !req
773. This asshole's breath smelled
like shit with his damned attitude!Copy !req
774. Fuck! What a stupid cunt are you?Copy !req
775. My eye hurts like hell!Copy !req
776. - Show me, my love.
- No!Copy !req
777. Asshole!
Writer, my ass!Copy !req
778. With his shitty play!
It sucked!Copy !req
779. This son of a bitch had no balls. He didn't
take my defense in front of his mother.Copy !req
780. Ja, Mutter.Copy !req
781. A gutless individual, yes!Copy !req
782. Thinking of it, it was always me
who was sent to buy weed!Copy !req
783. This jerk was waiting
for me in the car.Copy !req
784. He wouldn't have been bothered
if I had been arrested.Copy !req
785. What a stupid cunt I was!
A stupid cunt!Copy !req
786. It was my first night in the street.
The first of many.Copy !req
787. I had lost some of my relatives
in a revolution.Copy !req
788. I had survived a war.Copy !req
789. And it's a love story that
almost got me.Copy !req
790. Hello?Copy !req
791. Waking up, are we?Copy !req
792. Well, that was a close one!Copy !req
793. It's a good thing we found you.
You've had several bronchitis.Copy !req
794. I strictly forbid you
to smoke any cigarette.Copy !req
795. - Last name?
- Satrapi.Copy !req
796. - First name?
- Marjane.Copy !req
797. - Where do you live?
- In Iran.Copy !req
798. In Iran?Copy !req
799. Can I make a phone call?Copy !req
800. Hello?Copy !req
801. - Daddy?
- Marjane! Is that you?Copy !req
802. We were worried to death.
You haven't called for 2 months!Copy !req
803. Daddy... Can I come back?Copy !req
804. - Of course.
- You won't ask me any question?Copy !req
805. No, I promise you.Copy !req
806. I'm putting you through to your mother.Copy !req
807. - Marjane?
- Mom, please, don't cry.Copy !req
808. Come back home.
We're waiting for you.Copy !req
809. - Mom...
- We won't ask you any question.Copy !req
810. It's a promise.Copy !req
811. Don't you have anything forbidden, Sister?Copy !req
812. Pork, alcohol, playing cards, music,
film, fashion, porno?Copy !req
813. No, sir.Copy !req
814. Rearrange your veil, sister.Copy !req
815. Yes, sir.Copy !req
816. You can go.Copy !req
817. It's Marji!Copy !req
818. - My daughter...
- I didn't recognize you.Copy !req
819. - You're here.
- You've grown.Copy !req
820. You're here.Copy !req
821. I saw the Alborz mountains again.
It had been snowing.Copy !req
822. My father was wondering if he had
to put the snow chains on the tires.Copy !req
823. We had breakfast together,
like before.Copy !req
824. My mother had prepared
my favorite omelette.Copy !req
825. Nothing had changed,
and yet, I knew that...Copy !req
826. nothing would be like before.
We talked about many things.Copy !req
827. My parents kept their word
and didn't ask me any question.Copy !req
828. I didn't feel very comfortable but I thought
that the nightmare was behind us.Copy !req
829. The future might get brighter
once the war will be over.Copy !req
830. The war is over for sure.Copy !req
831. But people forgot why
there's been 8 years of war.Copy !req
832. Let her breathe.Copy !req
833. She's just arrived!Copy !req
834. No, no, mom.
It's all right.Copy !req
835. The West sold weapons
to both sides.Copy !req
836. We had been stupid enough
to take part in this cynical game.Copy !req
837. 8 years of war for nothing.Copy !req
838. A million dead for nothing.Copy !req
839. The last days were horrifying.Copy !req
840. A month before the armistice,
Irak bombed Teheran on a daily basis.Copy !req
841. As if it had to be wiped
out from the map.Copy !req
842. Just before the ceasefire,Copy !req
843. the government got scared because
some opponents had fled to Iran.Copy !req
844. The government was afraid of the threat that
represented the thousands of political prisoners.Copy !req
845. So the state decided to put
an end to it the hard way.Copy !req
846. They proposed to the convictsCopy !req
847. to renounce their ideals, to promise
to be loyal to the regimeCopy !req
848. and to serve their sentenceCopy !req
849. or to be executed.Copy !req
850. Most of them were executed.Copy !req
851. That's it.Copy !req
852. Now streets are
named after martyrs.Copy !req
853. That's all that's left to famillies.
Street names.Copy !req
854. When you walk in Teheran,Copy !req
855. it's like being in a cemetery.Copy !req
856. You've really grown!Copy !req
857. You'll soon be able to
catch God's balls.Copy !req
858. Grandma!Copy !req
859. Tell me.Copy !req
860. How was Vienna?Copy !req
861. Well, yeah...
It was different.Copy !req
862. Do you remember Mina?Copy !req
863. Of course, she's my cousin.Copy !req
864. She got married.
She has two kids.Copy !req
865. She's still as stupid as before.Copy !req
866. And Shila, do you remember her?Copy !req
867. - Yes.
- She's ugly.Copy !req
868. She has hair on her face.
She looks like a gorilla.Copy !req
869. And do you remember Mojdeh?Copy !req
870. I remember everybody.Copy !req
871. She got a divorce.
He had a small dick.Copy !req
872. Well, that's what Shahri said.
She told Mehri who told me.Copy !req
873. You'll see them all soon.Copy !req
874. Oh no!Copy !req
875. Well, yes...Copy !req
876. You must be speaking German now.Copy !req
877. Yes, a little.Copy !req
878. I know how to say
"Ich liebe dich."Copy !req
879. Vienna reminds me of
Empress Sissi.Copy !req
880. You saw Romy Schneider?Copy !req
881. Marjane...
Stars are shining in the skyCopy !req
882. and you in my heart.Copy !req
883. What a nun face! It's doesn't
look like you lived in Europe.Copy !req
884. Really?Copy !req
885. Talk a little!
Tell us.Copy !req
886. I don't know...Copy !req
887. How are the night clubs in Vienna?Copy !req
888. Well... I didn't go out much.Copy !req
889. - I don't like night clubs too much.
- What?Copy !req
890. Did you have sex?Copy !req
891. Well, yes.Copy !req
892. Is it good?Copy !req
893. It depends.Copy !req
894. What?
You had sex with several men?Copy !req
895. - Join a nursery school.
- Have your nose fixed.Copy !req
896. I can't bear it anymore!
It's 40°C!Copy !req
897. I can't stand it any longer.Copy !req
898. Damn hairdresser!Copy !req
899. - You're not worthy of my son!
- Oh! Anahita!Copy !req
900. Hello!Copy !req
901. Marjane just went out.Copy !req
902. All right, I'll tell her.Copy !req
903. Good bye.Copy !req
904. Stop watching tv!
Didn't you want to try the exam?Copy !req
905. You're ruining the
best years of your life.Copy !req
906. Go and meet people!Copy !req
907. Everybody is pissing me off.Copy !req
908. Out of 7 million inhabitants,Copy !req
909. isn't there one person who
you don't think is stupid?Copy !req
910. There was Kia, my childhood friend,
I wanted to see him.Copy !req
911. When I saw him,
I understood my grandma's words.Copy !req
912. He was almost dead.Copy !req
913. Kia went to war.Copy !req
914. He lost an arm and a leg.
I spent a good time with him.Copy !req
915. We even laughed.
After that, I relativised my miseries.Copy !req
916. Yes. For him, it's his whole
life that's screwed up.Copy !req
917. Yet, he laughed about it.Copy !req
918. Hmm.Copy !req
919. It's the only way to bear
the unbearable.Copy !req
920. Whatever I tell myself,
I can't do it.Copy !req
921. It's still unbearable.Copy !req
922. What I endured lies too heavy on me,
but who can I talk to?Copy !req
923. - You see?
- Hmm.Copy !req
924. My relatives have suffered so much.Copy !req
925. I was a stranger in Austria
and I became one here.Copy !req
926. I see.
Your sickness has a name.Copy !req
927. It's a nervous breakdown.Copy !req
928. There are some effective treatments.Copy !req
929. I'll prescribe some medication.Copy !req
930. Don't you want to come with us?
Some fresh air will do you some good.Copy !req
931. No. I want to be alone.Copy !req
932. Don't worry.Copy !req
933. So, kiddo, what are you doing here?Copy !req
934. Well... I'm dead.Copy !req
935. My child,
your time hasn't come yet.Copy !req
936. Oh really?Copy !req
937. My daughter,
you'll have to pick yourself up.Copy !req
938. He's right for once!Copy !req
939. You've got much to do.
Rise and shine.Copy !req
940. Go and do what you have to do.Copy !req
941. Don't forget that the fight goes on!Copy !req
942. Yeah, yeah.
The fight goes on.Copy !req
943. Rising up
Back on the streetCopy !req
944. Did my time
Took my chancesCopy !req
945. Went the distance
Now I'm back on my feetCopy !req
946. Just a man and his will to surviveCopy !req
947. It's the eye of the tiger
It's the cream of the fightCopy !req
948. Rising up to the challenge of our rivalCopy !req
949. And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the nightCopy !req
950. And he's watching us all in the eyeCopy !req
951. Of the tigerCopy !req
952. I'm so hungry!Copy !req
953. - Didn't you eat yet?
- She's on a diet.Copy !req
954. - Are you nuts? - Her cousin asked her
to bring back an issue of Vogue.Copy !req
955. She's reading it all the time!Copy !req
956. It looks like you've
caught someone's eye.Copy !req
957. Enough! I'm ashamed.Copy !req
958. We'll talk about Botticelli.Copy !req
959. Venus Birth in particular.Copy !req
960. We could also...Copy !req
961. call it The Spring,
like the other great...Copy !req
962. Botticelli's mythology
shown at the Offices.Copy !req
963. Hey! You, there!Copy !req
964. Why are you laughing?Copy !req
965. Do you wanna bet that
I'll take off my veil?Copy !req
966. - Yeah right!
- How much do we bet?Copy !req
967. 400 tomans?Copy !req
968. Go!Copy !req
969. At the begining of the 90s,
the time of great ideals was over.Copy !req
970. After the Revolution, the government
had put so many students in prisonCopy !req
971. that we didn't dare to talk
about politics anymore.Copy !req
972. And the war was finally behind us.Copy !req
973. We were looking for happiness
so much that we forgotCopy !req
974. that we weren't free.Copy !req
975. Grandma, are you here?Copy !req
976. Yes, I wanted to see you.Copy !req
977. How nice, you're all
dressed up to the nines!Copy !req
978. Are you in love?Copy !req
979. Exactly, I had a date with him.Copy !req
980. I got a real fright. Guardians
of the Revolution charged.Copy !req
981. Do you see how I'm made-up?Copy !req
982. I was stuck. Then I remembered
this guy who was eyeballing me.Copy !req
983. You know them.Copy !req
984. I pretended to be
a little defenseless girl.Copy !req
985. Brother!Copy !req
986. Yes, sister?Copy !req
987. A man said indecent things to me.Copy !req
988. Where is he so we can shut him up?Copy !req
989. Over there.Copy !req
990. That's him!Copy !req
991. Aren't you ashamed?
Don't you have a mother? A sister?Copy !req
992. Would you like it
if we insulted them?Copy !req
993. Ouch!Copy !req
994. I didn't do anything!
I swear it on my mother!Copy !req
995. What did they do with the guy?Copy !req
996. They picked him up.Copy !req
997. Do you think that's funny?Copy !req
998. Yes, don't you?Copy !req
999. I think that you're a fucking slut!
That's what I think.Copy !req
1000. I had no other choice!Copy !req
1001. Yes, you had!Copy !req
1002. Everybody has a choice.Copy !req
1003. Everybody always has a choice!Copy !req
1004. Your grandfather went to prison
for protecting innocents.Copy !req
1005. And your uncle Anouche!Copy !req
1006. Did you forget why he died?Copy !req
1007. What did I teach you?Copy !req
1008. Intergrity!Copy !req
1009. Does this word ring a bell, miss?Copy !req
1010. Shame on you!Copy !req
1011. The lady with the bag!Copy !req
1012. Stop running!
The lady with the bag!Copy !req
1013. Stop running!
Hey! Stop running!Copy !req
1014. Madam, why are you running?Copy !req
1015. I'm late.Copy !req
1016. You must not run like that.Copy !req
1017. When you run, your behind
makes indecent moves.Copy !req
1018. Then don't look at my ass!Copy !req
1019. Fuck it! Wherever we stand,
we always see the same thing!Copy !req
1020. Anatomy lesson my ass! The only
thing sticking out is her big nose.Copy !req
1021. Go to the central university
immediately.Copy !req
1022. All the absenteesCopy !req
1023. will be suspended for 2 weeks.Copy !req
1024. We must behave correctly.Copy !req
1025. The flowers of the Revolution
grew from the blood of our martyrs.Copy !req
1026. To have an indecent behavior is like
trampling on the blood of the martyrs.Copy !req
1027. So, I'm asking to all
young ladies to wearCopy !req
1028. tighter trousers and
longer cowls.Copy !req
1029. They must cover their hair
and must not use any make-up.Copy !req
1030. Does anybody have a question?Copy !req
1031. If not, the session is ended.
Yes?Copy !req
1032. Our cowls are short,
our trousers are indecent,Copy !req
1033. we put on a lot of make-up, etc.Copy !req
1034. I spend a lot of
time at the workshop.Copy !req
1035. I need to be able to move
freely to draw.Copy !req
1036. A longer cowl makes it difficult.Copy !req
1037. Our trousers efficiently
hide our shapes.Copy !req
1038. Knowing that those trousers
are in fashion,Copy !req
1039. is the religion defending
our integrity...Copy !req
1040. or is it simply
opposed to fashion?Copy !req
1041. You make comments about us
while the brothers...Copy !req
1042. have many different clothes
and hair cuts.Copy !req
1043. Sometimes, we can even
see their underwears.Copy !req
1044. Why is it that as a woman,Copy !req
1045. I'm not allowed to feel anything
when watching them,Copy !req
1046. while men can get excited on
our shorter cowls?Copy !req
1047. It's great. It's as if you had
cut their little dick.Copy !req
1048. Take off this fucking cowl.
It makes me claustrophobic.Copy !req
1049. I tend to forget it.Copy !req
1050. Don't ever forget it.Copy !req
1051. It's fear that makes us
lose our self-awareness.Copy !req
1052. It's also changing us into cowards.Copy !req
1053. You had guts.Copy !req
1054. I'm proud of you.Copy !req
1055. - I want to leave.
- To go where?Copy !req
1056. To the USA or to Europe.Copy !req
1057. Where in Europe?Copy !req
1058. I can't stand living
here any longer.Copy !req
1059. What about us?Copy !req
1060. You'll come with me.Copy !req
1061. - I don't want to leave.
- That's because you're still nostalgic.Copy !req
1062. Sooner or later,
people will disgust you.Copy !req
1063. You can die in the West,
nobody cares.Copy !req
1064. Don't worry.Copy !req
1065. We'll manage.Copy !req
1066. What's your relationship with him?Copy !req
1067. Good.Copy !req
1068. We'll call your parents.Copy !req
1069. Either they pay
or it will be some lashing.Copy !req
1070. When your mother and I were 15,
we used to walk together holding hands.Copy !req
1071. Oh la la!Copy !req
1072. And yet it was in this country.Copy !req
1073. You know, that's how
the situation is now.Copy !req
1074. You have to be careful.Copy !req
1075. I think it's better if you're
not seen outside anymore.Copy !req
1076. This situation is unbearable.
We can't go anywhere.Copy !req
1077. We're like prisoners.
It's not a life!Copy !req
1078. Yeah... We can only get married.Copy !req
1079. So?Copy !req
1080. - Did you cry, mom?
- No.Copy !req
1081. I always wanted you to be
independent, educated and cultured.Copy !req
1082. And now you're getting married
at 21 years old!Copy !req
1083. I want you to leave Iran
to be free and liberated!Copy !req
1084. Mama, it's fine.Copy !req
1085. Trust me.
I know what I'm doing.Copy !req
1086. One year laterCopy !req
1087. - Did you see the car keys?
- Huh?Copy !req
1088. I left them here.Copy !req
1089. I don't know.Copy !req
1090. They were here.Copy !req
1091. We don't share anything anymore.Copy !req
1092. You're the ideal couple to us.Copy !req
1093. Ideal couple, my ass!Copy !req
1094. What? You want my picture?Copy !req
1095. Asshole!Copy !req
1096. Not so long ago,
you were saying that you loved him.Copy !req
1097. It's impossible to know...Copy !req
1098. until we live under the same roof.Copy !req
1099. What will you do?
Are you gonna get a divorce?Copy !req
1100. I don't know.Copy !req
1101. My sister left
her husband last year.Copy !req
1102. As soon as she got a divorce,Copy !req
1103. all men wanted to
have sex with her.Copy !req
1104. The butcher proposed her.Copy !req
1105. Then the baker and the greengrocer.Copy !req
1106. And even the beggars.Copy !req
1107. Men are convinced that
their thing is irresistibleCopy !req
1108. and that a divorced woman will
accept since she's not a virgin anymore.Copy !req
1109. Stay with your husband
as long as you can.Copy !req
1110. Something's wrong?Copy !req
1111. Don't get yourself
into such a state!Copy !req
1112. Excuse me.Copy !req
1113. What is this sorrow for?Copy !req
1114. Grandma!Copy !req
1115. It's terrible!Copy !req
1116. What's so terrible?Copy !req
1117. I think that... I think that
I don't love Reza anymore.Copy !req
1118. I think we'll part.Copy !req
1119. So this is your terrible thing?Copy !req
1120. I thought somebody had died!Copy !req
1121. You've no idea what you're saying!
I have a heart condition.Copy !req
1122. And you're talking to me like that!Copy !req
1123. All those tears for a simple divorce!Copy !req
1124. Listen to me carefully.Copy !req
1125. I did it 55 years ago.Copy !req
1126. Back then,
no one was getting a divorce.Copy !req
1127. I knew that I would be happier
alone than with a damned nuisance!Copy !req
1128. But...Copy !req
1129. No buts!Copy !req
1130. A first wedding is a rough
work for the second one.Copy !req
1131. It will be better next time.Copy !req
1132. You're crying because
you were wrong.Copy !req
1133. It's hard to accept your own
mistakes, isn't it?Copy !req
1134. Where were you?Copy !req
1135. I was very worried.Copy !req
1136. Nima is dead.Copy !req
1137. Huh? What?Copy !req
1138. Nima is dead.Copy !req
1139. And I'm leaving you.Copy !req
1140. The time had come for me to leave.Copy !req
1141. I decided to go to France.Copy !req
1142. I had to wait 3 months for a visa.Copy !req
1143. I went to the Caspian sea
with grandmaCopy !req
1144. where I filled my lungs with
this unique air.Copy !req
1145. An air like nowhere else.Copy !req
1146. Then I promised grandpa
that he'd be proud of me.Copy !req
1147. Then I went behind the prisonCopy !req
1148. where my uncle Anouche was resting,Copy !req
1149. somewhere next to
thousands of innocents.Copy !req
1150. I promised him to try and stay true
to myself as much as possible.Copy !req
1151. Then, one day, the time
to leave had come.Copy !req
1152. My father cried, as usual.Copy !req
1153. You're leaving forever.
You're a free woman.Copy !req
1154. Iran of today isn't for you.Copy !req
1155. I forbid you to come back.Copy !req
1156. Yes, mom.
Grandma!Copy !req
1157. My sweet little girl!Copy !req
1158. I never saw my grandma again.Copy !req
1159. She died a little later.Copy !req
1160. Freedom always has a price.Copy !req
1161. Ah! What a shitty weather!Copy !req
1162. Where do you come from?Copy !req
1163. Iran.Copy !req
1164. Grandma, how do you always
smell so good?Copy !req
1165. I pick up jasmine
flowers every morningCopy !req
1166. and I put them in my bra.Copy !req
1167. This way, I always smell good.Copy !req
1168. Wow! That's great!Copy !req
