To him? You gave my rug to him?
What for? What for?
To pay for your night's lodging
that's what for.
You can pay for your room
in money. Cash!
Give me my sister's blankets!
It is a rag. I was ashamed
to have my friends see it...
so I put it on the floor of
the toilet. Give me the cash.
I beg your forgiveness,
Before all this company,
I beg your forgiveness.
Brother, don't leave me on my knees,
don't insult my soul.
Brother, I have never before
been on my knees to a Greek.
With a Turk you can either be
a brother or the opposite.
I warn you.
Brother.
Brother.
Brother.
Too bad.
Too bad.
That's the thief, take him.
Fortunately, Your Honour,
I've made an exact list...
of every particular this man stole
from me in the darkest hour.
Lies, lies!
Your Honour,
he insults your court.
"One carpet, the colour of roses
and the blue of midnight."
Behold, Your Honour.
As described.
A beautiful piece.
"One blanket,
the colour of peaches..."
-Make him take my coat off.
-Take off the coat.
I had a terrible time
after you left.
Those policemen
and that judge...
offered to divide my new
possessions with me.
When I declined,
they all helped themselves.
The judge particularly
wanted the rug.
The law in this country
needs considerable reform.
Look, I'll show you
what I have left.
Nothing, you see?
Nothing.
There are some coins missing.
About six of them,
by my estimates.
I came to the conclusion
that you'd swallowed them.
No?
I saw you do so in court.
At the time, I thought to myself
"Let him have something, poor thing."
But the situation has changed.
I cannot be so generous.
I'll admit that you've been patient.
If I'd been you, I'd have
taken out that blade...
and put it to its proper use,
but we Turks are primitive...
while you Greeks are civilised.
I envy you. You've learned
how to bear misfortune...
swallow insult and indignity
and still smile. I truly envy you.
Well? Is there anything?
Anything moving?
Nothing yet?
How long do you suppose?
Only Allah know that, eh?
Drink?
You're really such a coward.
I've killed men like you before,
it's like killing a sheep.
and the life flows out.
A twitch or two,
and it's over.
A drink?
No, of course, you don't drink.
You don't fight.
You have no use for women.
What kind of a man are you?
I can't waste any more time
on you.
I'll have to take those coins.
Unfortunately, I have no weapon.
I'll have to borrow your knife.
Yes?
No?
What? Why don't you say something?
Are you afraid to talk?
Do you value your life?
Say.
I don't know what you people are.
Are you like sheep? They won't
