Hamam: The Turkish Bath Page #2

---

I know, but why

didn't you tell me before?

In Istanbul there were

many "hamam", a big attractive.

Now it's over,

"hamam" is no longer popular.

Look at the sign.

It's a Turkish bath

of a mirror Sultan.

- Of the mirrors.

- Yes, of the mirrors.

Follow me.

- Hi Zozo, how are you?

- Hello Mrs. Mine.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Is anybody home?

Just a moment.

- Hello Mr. Osman.

- Hi Zozo.

He's the owner of the "hamam".

May we have the keys?

Come in.

- A drink?

- No, thanks.

- The man wants to sell.

- Fusun, bring some ayran.

- So you are Francesco.

- Yes I am.

He came from Italy

to sell the "hamam".

- He's already accepted a bid.

- Thank you.

He has no hesitation.

- This is my daughter Fusun.

- Thank you my child.

- Ciao, I'm Francesco.

- Ciao.

- So, you want to see the hamam?

- Yes please.

- Make it fast, we're in a hurry.

- Shut up, Zozo.

Come, I'll show you.

- I'll stay here. Understood?

- I did, Zozo.

We always used this passage.

No one has been here

since Madam died.

May I keep it?

Yes, of course.

What do you want now, Zozo?

I've lived here since I got married,

my children were born here.

- Understand?

- I understand.

No, you don't understand a thing.

Get out of this hole,

move to a new neighbourhood.

If you don't leave

I'll kick you out!

- Perran, this is Madam's nephew.

- Quiet Osman, this fool pisses me off.

Francesco?

You're Madam's nephew?

Sorry. Madam always spoke about you.

Did you offer him something?

- Please sit down. I'll make coffee.

- No, thanks.

We have many of Madam Anita's things

- What should we do?

- I don't know.

- I'm leaving in a few days.

- It's all old stuff.

I tell you they sold everything,

there's just the old stuff left.

Are you saying we sold

Madam's things?

We're not thieves!

I'm going to kill him!

Zozo, let's not get into this now.

Sorry for the argument. When

do you want to see Madam's things?

As soon as possible.

I need to leave soon.

- Join us for dinner tonight.

- No, have dinner with me!

You'll join us, and that's it!

I will.

- Francesco's here.

- Good evening.

Excuse me, it'll be a minute.

- Thank you, you shouldn't have.

- Not at all.

- Osman, show him the house.

- I'll do it.

Madam slept here for a year.

And did she die here?

Inside are Madam's things.

Hi Memo, this is Francesco,

Madam's nephew.

- This is my brother.

- Ciao. I'm Mehmet, or just Memo.

- Francesco, a little more.

- No, enough.

Bon apetit.

Osman, the boy hasn't eaten a thing.

Maybe he didn't like it.

- Don't you like our food?

- I do, but I had too much of it.

No, you ate so little...

Have some more of this.

Leave him alone.

Let him eat what he wants.
