Would I ever refuse?

- Come on, give it to me.

- I don't have it. I told you.

- You don't have it?

- No.

No? You don't have anything?

Ali, you're my witness.

You could pay back the guy's

I'm only saying that I bet you

have some change in your pockets.

I have some, but I'm saving it

to buy some bread.

He said he didn't have anything.

I know that you'd only

go off and bet it away.

It's for your own good.

I swear, Ali,

he says that every time.

It's for my own good?

- Come on, lend me 25 cents.

- If you had just been honest,

I would have lent it to you.

It's settled then! You'll lend it

to me if I tell you the truth?

I haven't eaten, I feel faint.

Ali, do you believe this?

We know you eat at your boss's

place, and you come begging to us?

He gave my lunch to somebody else,

and told me I'd have

to buy something to eat.

- You dig?

- Yeah.

- I need my strength for the club.

- Why do you go there?

Mind your own business.

Your brother slaves away

day and night to earn money

thinking that you're going

to school not to the club.

That's none of your business.

I used to be studious and,

every time I went near the gym,

- I got beat up.

- You set everything up for a fight.

Set things up however you want.

Keep going to class.

But when you get your diploma,

when you try to go

to America with your girl,

and some weakling tells

you that you can't,

then you'll find

yourself with a bloody nose.

You'll say to yourself:

"Mamad was right."

Nobody's forced to fight

if they don't want to.

People just have

happy accidents?

You always have a come back.

I'm telling you no as a friend.

You're my friend?

Really and truly?

Give me the 25 cents,

Ali is my witness.

- It's not a question of money.

- Then hand it over cheapskate!

You'll give it back to me?

- Yeah.

- When?

Thursday. At the end of the week.

It's for Ali's sake

that I'll do it.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

- So, you're going to lend it me?

- What?

The suit.

- He'll know.

- No. I'll sort it out.

It won't fit you.

I'll leave it unbuttoned. I'll

bring it back without a wrinkle.

Well, we'll see.

If my boss leaves early...

What time does he leave?

- 7:
30 at night.

- I'll come around then.

A customer.

He's come for a fitting.

It will be ready Thursday morning?

Come Wednesday evening.

You're open until...

Until dinner time.

I doubt I can make it.

If his father comes home early,

I'll try to come and catch you.

Otherwise, I will have

to come Thursday moring.

No problem, come Thursday

Thanks so much.

What's Mamad look like?

I don't know.

About this tall, brown hair.

I can't tell from that...

go take another look.
