- Yes you did.

- He paid you.

- No. You're screwed up.

What do you want, anyway?

I have three, right here,

four that I gave to Mamad.

that makes 48.

That makes 48.

Plus 24 with Chabestarian's, 72.

and 3 that I have right here,

that makes 23.

There you have it:

- You've brought over some work?

- Yeah.

- How many?

- 48.

You haven't brought

all of them with you?

The rest are down stairs.

I'll bring them up later.

- Thanks.

- See you later.

- You want to be paid for these?

- Sure.

- Here's the payment for 48.

- See you.

We're friends aren't we?

The one time

I ask you for something!

- The jacket isn't your size.

- Oh really?

I saw the boy who came into the shop.

He was exactly the same size.

- I'm not lying to you.

- Let me try it on and then we'll see.

Yes, sir?

- Is he in?

- No. He's at prayers.

- When will he be back?

- In a quarter hour.

- You down there, Ali?

- Yes.

I'm coming.

Why haven't you gone to the club?

I have to finish this.

I'll go afterwards.

- If I go, will you lend it to me?

- What?

- The suit.

- It's not your size.

Are we friends or what?

Let me try it on, just to see.

I need it for Wednesday or Thursday,

for one hour in the night.

I have to deliver it Thursday morning.

- Let's say Wednesday then.

- He'd know.

Shh! He's coming.

- Hey, Hossein.

- Hey.

Hey, Ali.

You've already finished that suit?

- Got any empty glasses, Hossein?

- No.

- Did I tell you about the jerk?

- No.

- I must have told you.

- You started to in the cafeteria.

Here's the rest:

when I got to the club,

he insulted me so

I kicked his ass,

he came back and punched

me in the eye, right here.

And then one of the guy's friends

took a swing at me...

and knocked my breath out.

I gave him a shove

and he went tumbling

into the gutter.

- Just outside the club?

- Yeah, in the street out back.

The guy fell,

and the others came after me.

When they saw that I'd beat him

down, they came after me

in the alley behind the club.

There were two huge containers...

I tipped them over on the

guys just behind me.

When the others saw that,

they got even more pissed,

and they began

coming after me again.

And then I ran into one of my

cool buds from the club,

I said to him:

"How's it going, Hossein?"

I bummed 25 cents from him

and I jumped into a taxi.

I need to borrow 25 cents

from Ali to repay him.

- I don't have any money.

- I'll give it back on Friday.

I'd give it to you if I had it.

And you, Hossein?

And my 5 tomans? You always have

some new story to mooch off of me.

Go ask anybody you

want to at the club.

- You won't lend it to me?

- No.

What are we friends for then?

It's nothing, 25 cents.
