I can't get it out of my mind.
Those voices.
That noise.
What do we do now?
Everyone will go back to their lives.
Even me.
I need to go back to Berlin.
It's just too bad.
Let's get some fresh air.
You'll be fine.
Come on.
Nihal can't stay alone.
Not in that apartment.
She'll see Mom and Dad...
everywhere she looks.
We have no one in Ankara.
Only you two.
OUR GRAND DESPAIR
What time is it?
Midnight.
Just don't be good to me.
Don't be good to me.
Nihal... Look at you.
Come in.
Where did you get so drunk?
- At Sevil's.
We drank a bit. Nihal, too.
Did she talk about her parents
or the accident?
No.
Bora was there too.
- Who?
We'd better go, it's late.
Good night.
- Good night.
Take it off.
Don't be good to me.
Don't be good to me.
I'm off.
Do we have any aspirin?
Sure, I'll give her some.
What are we gonna do?
She's going to be trouble.
See you.
Nihal, can you answer the phone?
She'll come.
She won't.
Dinner's ready!
I'm not hungry!
Let's eat.
Thanks.
Cetin!
Look at us.
Since high school, we've dreamt of
living together, chilling out...
It hasn't even been three months.
Like summer vacation during school.
Now we're like daddies.
Should we talk to Fikret?
Tell him something?
What if something happens to her?
What would we say?
I saw bugs, man.
Something happened.
I think someone died in the building.
We're going out!
Where are you going?
For a walk and to eat something.
Can I come, too?
I really love cats.
Sometimes I wish
I were like them.
Carefree creatures.
They observe everything
and feel everything,
but pretend not to care.
They just watch from a corner.
Did you know there's
Really?
In Ulus.
Just an ordinary street,
but its name is lovely.
Yes, it's really nice.
How's school by the way?
Can you concentrate?
I just get so bored sometimes,
I could explode.
Try to hold on.
I will.
I can't stand the idea
I want to live in Istanbul.
Don't you like Ankara?
Not really.
While at school in Istanbul
or working overseas in construction,
Ender's letters described
everything here so beautifully.
Enough?
Yes.
Or you could peel one more clove.
with harpoons in Libya.
Really?
- He even has pictures. Right?
A big harpooned fish,
him looking proud.
Show them to Nihal.
They get scary
if you run into a whole school.
Have you read all these books?
Not all.
But some more than once.
For example...
I keep coming back to this book.
You can tell
by the fruit stains on its pages.
This one's orange for instance.
Right.
Ender insists the dishwasher
makes the glasses smell like eggs.
It doesn't smell. Check.
You're squinting.
- What?
Your eyes became squinted.
It doesn't smell, does it?
Honestly, you two
are so funny.
See how Nihal is on your team?
Of course!
She also has good taste!
Feta goes well with jam,
especially strawberry.
What a joke!
I knew a guy who put apricot
jam on grilled meatballs.
What do you gourmets say about that?
Let's not exaggerate!
We're fine.
Right, Nihal?
- Feta and jam forever!
Shall we go to the movies?
Want to walk eyes closed?
We used to do that
when we were kids. I liked it a lot.
When you close your eyes and walk like this,
you feel a sweet dizziness after a while.
Come on.
No cheating.
Close your eyes.
Ender? Ender?
I'm here. Come on.
Ender!
Come and listen to this song.
Did you speak with Nihal?
About the accident I mean.
Talk to her.
Tell her about
what you and your brother went through.
She shouldn't feel alone.
Or think we don't understand her.
OK, I will.
My brother told me.
You were in the car, too.
How old were you?
Eight.
My brother was 18.
What's up?
- Not much, you? - Nothing.
Listen,
is Nihal home?
- Yes, why?
Is she with you?
- No, she's in her room.
In her room, good... Listen,
we shouldn't pee standing.
How should we pee?
Into the toilet!
Don't make me yell here,
you deaf a**hole.
Our bathroom toilet.
- Yes?
Yes! When we pee standing, it splashes.
It'd be embarrassing
if she saw pee stains.
You're right.
We're real pigs!
Exactly!
Listen...
We sit and pee from now on.
And the protocol for washing underwear?
As you've become such a gentleman!
Shut the f*** up!
We'll talk about this later.
Ender and I studied
together in high school.
I mean he used to help me.
He was better at school.
He even passed me the answers
during exams.
Without him, I might not have graduated.
I'm secretly stupid.
Don't say that.
It makes me sad.
You put bergamot in it.
Yes, I did.
So what?
My God!
Why are you blaming Sevgi?
She dumped you but you're
still under her spell.
The wounded lover
still imitating her. Constantly!
Shut your fat mouth!
No more bergamot for you?
Now it's chamomile for your nerves!
And making yogurt at home? Why?
Because Sevgi used to!
Why are you still celebrating Labor Day?
Protesting prisons and stuff?
Wanna hear more?
You wanna hear more?
- Yes.
Unlike you
and all those bourgeois urban asses,
I don't ask the butcher "Do you have meat?"
or the fruit vendor "Do you have apples?"
Get it?
