Did you give him that egg?

Money comes and goes.

Go and get the camera.

Let's do a couple of test shots.

My wife died last month.

We took her to the hospital.

-Really. What did she die of?

-We don't know.

They didn't say.

l don't know. So it happened.

Now l'm alone here.

l'm killing time.

lt is difficult

to be alone.

l've got nothing to do.

We all die some day.

There's nothing to be done.

Muzaffer, where are the batteries?

-Look in the front pocket of the bag.

-Which front pocket?

How many front pockets

does the bag have?

-l'm all alone, my friend.

What's to be done? That's life.

No two go at the same time.

One of them always goes first.

That's life.

-Weren't they in the front pocket?

-l misunderstood you.

Take the camera.

See this part.

Read it down to here.

- Right.
