of Ramazan's son. What about

Cemil's, now?

- Shall we do it this week?

- Hope so, if nothing comes up.

What can come up?

Or isn't a medic...

good enough for the circumcision,

now that you're a Director?

- Will you have the doctor cut it?

- It ain't a matter of a doctor cutting.

When the customs officially opens,

you should have a pass...

How can I tell you? Anything can

happen in this world.

Look, I've brought you some

Turkish delight. From this side.

- Go over, woman. Best wishes.

- Same to you.

When Customs starts to operate

this will be considered bribery.

- You don't mean it?

- Well, we better be care ful.

...and not without a leading light.

This is noone's colony.

We are a free country

full with heroes and no masters.

Where greed reigns and not

the heart, there is no progress.

There fore take your hand ladies,

make music and dance.

Shake your hips and

fling your hair.

We're calling Mr. Mehdi

to the platform.

My very esteemed district governor,

esteemed pre fect...

...worthy commanders. Dear

colleagues. Very dear citizens.

There's an important reason for

our gathering here today.

- He thinks he's the President.

- This reason is the establishment...

...of the Directorate of Customs. Here

we'll open the Directorate.

We will establish it and let it

prosper. What is customs?

Is it clear

or do I have to explain it?

- Do! Do!

- So I will.

Well, if there is Customs, we have to

preserve it. If we don't preserve it...

then in God's name who ever will?

O.K. What's Customs then?

Clearly something valuable,

since it has to be preserved.

Barbed wire is the ornamental rim

of the country. Take ornamental rim...

...seriously. What is it for?

When you look at the map you see...

...your country. You are

both sensitive and intelligent.

You understand what I'm say ing,

don't you?

Well, that's it.

I now ask our district governor

to open the Customs. Follow me.

May it prove bene ficial

for the country and the people.

- Thank you.

- May it be for the good of all of us.

- Rahim?

- What's up?

- Come.

- Yes, my dear Mehdi?

- Come, let me kiss you once.

- My friend.

- Did you feel like it?

- I felt like it.

Thank you.

- I brought cookies for you.

- Thanks teacher, madam.

- And how delicious they are.

- Well, who should we feed but you?

Heroic Turkish soldiers protecting

us from the enemy.

Open it so I will pass.

This gate is a good thing...

...but it will be hard to open and

close it all the time. I'll pass my self.

- Forbidden!

- What do you think you're doing?

- I'll just pass!

- Forbidden.

- What now?

- I'm the one asking that.

What's this. Cookies! How can you

eat that cookie?
