We can make heads

to put under the covers.

It hasn't even got any hair!

Quiet!

We can't go that way

in broad daylight.

And it's a long way down.

You're mad! They'll skin us alive.

At least something will happen.

-I'm stuck!

-What do you mean, stuck?

-It hurts!

-Push yourself.

-I can't!

-Why can't you?

-Get out!

-I can't!

Get out!

Lale's got no b*obs

so she can get through.

It's not your b*obs,

it's your fat bum jammed in there!

Be quiet!

Up here.

Give us a hand.

-Hurry up!

-I've got you.

Can you give me a hand?

Go on, Ece.

-Nur won't get up with her fat bum!

-Shut up, shorty!

Pancake chest!

Don't push!

Come on, Selma, hurry up!

Wait for us!

Stop!

It's all your fault!

If you hadn't been scared

of a fly...

It was a great big wasp!

You can't even walk properly!

Stop it, Lale! She fell.

What are you doing

in the middle of the road?

We missed the bus

for the match in Trabzon.

Help us catch it up.

Are you mad? No!

-Take us!

-No way!

-Please!

-No.

Stop!

Thank you so much.

Erol, the cable's too short.

Are we going to miss the match

because of a cable?

What's the matter?

What the hell?

There's Light at Durmus Emmi's.

We'll drink here after.

I only found out later

what Aunt Emine did for us.

Quiet!

The fallout from our escape

wasn't what we expected.

Stand up straight.

Put your sleeves down.

Show your face.

That's good.

Your hair needs fixing.

Done it?

Ready?

We're going out for lemonade.

Don't drag your feet.

We'll sit here.

Come here a second.

Wait...

Walk over to the fountain

-and back again.

-What for?

Just go and walk

while I order the lemonade.

She wants us to drink here?

It's a foot fountain!

Grandma started by showing us off.

A few days later some workers came.

Press down hard on the rug.

Lale, do you hear me?

Couldn't you have talked to me

about it first?

You're not always here.

I called the workers.

They're raising the walls a bit.

Now the house

really did look like a prison.

Get this ball out of here!

Play somewhere else!

Grandma, we've got visitors.

Visitors?

Do your hair.

And go get dressed.

Sonay? Selma?

Look how you're dressed!

Put some clothes on!

Bare feet too!

Hurry, Lale,

you come and get dressed too.

Quick, quick, quick!

It's so hard to raise children nowadays.

That's true.

Here she is.

God bless her, she's beautiful!

She's one of a kind!

Sonay, will you serve the tea?

Grandma, I want a word.

Excuse me, pleased.

I Love Eking.

If you try to marry me off

to anyone else, I'll scream.

What?

All right!

All right, all right.

But if you want to see him again,

he'll have to ask for your hand.

Finally Selma will serve the tea.
