led to a movement.

We'd be like Che.

Here they make Che

into a God-fearing man.

But they can't co-opt a gay figure.

Yes, they can.

They're experts.

They'll make Milk

lead the anti-gay movement.

Exactly.

Don't you want to

change your circumstances?

President Hossein Obama!

Change has come our way.

Hey, don't make fun of Obama.

Don't you see?

What they were doing to the gays

they're doing to you now.

We'll rock the country with this film.

We'll pour into the streets.

We're united together,

we are gay together.

We knew you were gay.

Don't worry, Atie.

I'll take the role of Milk.

You play his lover,

Diego Luna.

Does that mean I can f*** you?

- Yes, please.

- Sweet!

This film is not about f***ing.

It's about human rights.

F***ing is a human's right.

I swear it's a human's right.

Listen.

We dub "Milk" in the day

for your subversive politics.

And "Sex and the City"

for mainstream subversion.

Isn't that a porn film?

It's always the same with you, Joey.

You're really sick.

"Sex and the City"

will sell like crazy.

And we'll throw "Milk"

on the same DVD.

I want to create serious dialogue.

Sweetie, here anything illegal

becomes politically subversive.

Political acts aren't

that romantic, Atafeh.

With the parents that you had,

subversion and naughtiness

is in your blood.

Shut up, Joey.

I can defend myself.

What did I say?

What did I say?

Do you mind if I play music?

No, it's a nice song.

Very relaxing.

We can go somewhere relaxing.

Excuse me?

Don't be coy.

You're mistaken.

What do you take me for?

What do you think you are?

Sir, please stop the car.

Don't think the clothes fool me.

Stop. I want to get out.

No matter how you dress

yourself, trash is trash.

How about we go

to the police station?

I have some friends there.

Give me your foot.

Excuse me?

I just want your foot.

You think I'm hot?

Like it?

Feels good?

Go to hell.

Mehran!

We've missed you, man.

There is a killer afterparty.

Go, go, go, go, go, go!

Go, go, go, go, go, go!

Go, go, go, go, go, go!

Go, go, go, go, go, go!

Go, go, go, go, go, go!

Shireen! Get down!

Oh, my God, are you okay?

Hossein, let's dub those scenes.

That was awesome.

F*** the mothers of all the mullahs

who sh*t all over this country.

To Hollywood!

Where's your energy? Dance.

Are you OK?

Don't tell me what to do.

Morality Police!

Morality Police!

Morality Police.

- Hurry!

- Shireen!

Go! Go!

Thank God you got away too.

I haven't done anything.

Mehran.

Please, tell him.

Don't be afraid.

We have nothing against you.

Ali, my dear.

You piece of sh*t.

You worthless trash.

Always the same mistakes.

I have homework to do.

Let's eat.
