Is there anyone over the world?

Sorry.

I had to take the cows in the shade.

Do you also live here?

Yes. Who would you like to see?

You know.

We are looking for the perfect man.

I was the name of the people.

Your name Shepherd.

Everybody calls me differently.

But you said that you saw

Perfect person a few times.

In our house there is no mirror.

Mirror creates selfishness. I saw myself

only a few times, as reflected in the water.

So what can I do for you?

My friend and ...

Tell me at least "my favorite."

My husband and I had a long

way from Iran to see you.

I'm so excited.

I do not know what to say.

I can not imagine you ...

Sorry for my words,

but you are such a simple,

an ordinary man.

My husband was once a communist.

I used to be religious,

and now only believe in God.

You could not ...

Sorry ... I'm confused.

Could you give me some advice?

New faith? Maybe

New God in whom we must believe?

If you have a piece of paper

or notebook, I write to you.

You do not need advice?

I believe devoid of talent.

Tell him to give me your email

address, I will be with him sometimes in the chat.

I only have a phone book.

These numbers connect me with my past.

You do not write to me

anything that would put me in the future?

I am writing to each of its handle.

I have only this.

I was very uncomfortable,

you can write it?

Sorry.

Why are you turning

back to him? It's not polite!

Three days later, hold the sheet

paper over a fire in the Holy City.

This will help you understand your future.

You see. He's an idiot. And you said

that he is a perfect man.

You're in my naivete

admire such people.

I forgot to sit on a chair,

that he could have re-married.

Can God officials

bless love?

I promised the teacher that Perfect

people sit on it and made it holy.

Such a sacred souvenir for him.

None ass can not consecrate this chair.

What are you trying to prove?

I left everything for you.

Even parents. But you are so selfish that

unable to face the man.

What are you trying to prove?

It's nothing. I'm just looking for the way

how do I get rid of doubts

and their prejudices. Do you understand?

I went with you, because I thought

that you seek the truth. I despise all those who

found the truth.

Anyone who finds the truth

becoming fascist.

I do not want to talk about God.

I'm a murderer, because I'm going.

God, forgive me!

Get rid of the ants out of my way.

I gotta go.

One ant died.

I heard him moaning.

One ant died.

Two ants ...

Three ant ...

Four ...

Five ...

O God, whom I love so much!

I'm looking for shelter under your roof.

Without You

my boat will sink in the ocean of ignorance.

Nailed my boat to shore.
