Let's go.

Ready?

Shot 1, take 2.

Very good... Stay where you are.

- Hello

- Hello

God be with you...

Cut!

Speak! Answer her!

When she greets you,

you say your lines!

Take the sack and go down.

Fardhad...

When he greets you,

look at him for a second.

And then answer him.

Let's go.

- Sound?

- Ready.

Camera?

Shot 1, take 3.

Very good, stay where you are!

- Hello

- Hello

- Hello

- Hello

God be with you...

Why don't you say anything?

Don't you want to say it?

Have you forgotten?

Come down.

Take down the sack.

Take it and go down!

No sir, I can't do it.

- What?

- I can't do it.

What's that supposed to mean?

Can you come here a minute?

- What?

- Will you come here a minute?

What's wrong?

I stammer.

What?

You were speaking fine earlier!

Yes... but...

When I speak to a girl...

I start stammering.

Right.

You can go.

Azim, wait,

we'll give you a lift.

- Mrs. Shiva...

- Yes?

Drive him back

and bring me Hossein.

Hossein? Who's that?

- Our Hossein, at the camp.

- All right.

Get in the car, I'll take you back.

- Mrs. Shiva

- Yes?

Rehearse with Hossein in the car,

and hurry!

- Time's short!

- All right.

Shall we put the camera away?

No, leave it,

they're coming back.

Children, you can't come over

to this side of the rope,

but can I cross it?

Yes!... No!... Yes!... No!...

- Well, can I or can't I?

- Come on!

- Haven't you got exams?

- No... Yes, we have!

What are you doing here then?

We came to see the shoot.

- You came all this way?

- Yes!

- How many kilometers is that?

- 9 kilometers!

I'd like to ask you a question.

Ask me!

Wait...

Children, can you tell me

what co-operation is?

I know! Can I answer?

- Calm down! You, answer me.

- Working with one another.

Working with one another.

Can I answer?

Helping one another.

It's my turn.

Yes, you now.

Now let's see if you can tell me...

the capital of Guilan.

- I know! I know!

- Rasht! Rasht! Rasht!

- Where's Rostam-Abbad?

- At Poshteh, in Guilan.

Near Roudbar

- And what's the specialty of Roudbar?

- Olives! Olives!

- Repeat your lines to me.

- But I know them.

- Don't worry.

- Say them, to put my mind at rest.

I put the sack of plaster there,

and go up the stairs.

Does it have to be plaster?

Remember you have to do

what we tell you!

Okay, fine...

I take the plaster and go upstairs.

Up there, a woman says:

"Good luck."

No, she says

"God be with you."

She says:
"God be with you."

And I answer:

"Give me water, I'm thirsty."

Is that right?

Does that suit you?

What's going on?

You're blocking the road!

We'll move.

With that car and your bricks,

how do I get past?

We'll have it moved soon.

I've got to get through!
