The Song of Sparrows Page #3

The shell was bad.

Hussein, listen to me.

This is for Mr. Akbar.

This is for cousin Abbas.

This is for Mrs. Kobra.

This is for Mr. Ebrahim.

Take these to them.

- Karim?

- Yes?

This is for Mrs. Roghiyeh.

- Is she back?

- Yes.

Get up, son. Take them.

Good.

Wait.

I'll take your hearing aid to the city

to fix it, my beautiful girl.

Go now.

Hello, cousin.

Hello, Karim. How are you?

Fine. What's going on?

The damn thing broke down.

I don't know what's wrong.

I need to take it to a repair shop.

Are you going to the city?

Yes, let's go.

Hold on.

It's always breaking down.

Every minute

a different part breaks down.

A shepherd told me

he saw ostrich eggs

in the desert above the hills.

- Which hills?

- Behind the coop.

I searched that area

and didn't find anything.

- Thanks. Take care.

- Bye.

Look at what Hussein did!

The microphone is damaged badly.

It is not easy to repair.

You need a new one.

If you like,

I can put you on the waiting list.

Doctor, how long will it take?

Three to four months.

Three to four months?

I can't wait that long.

My daughter's exams

start next month.

Then you have to buy one

on the open market.

How much will it cost?

This kind of hearing aid

is about 350,000 tomans.

These days I am very busy.

I'll put you in charge.

- Where? Which market?

- Straight ahead.

I'm late. Hurry.

You haven't even given me a report.

You've put the German delegates

in the Continental Hotel.

Yes, the Esteghlal Hotel.

Okay.

The French go to the Palace directly.

It's not our concern.

This conference is very important.

You need to coordinate everything.

I need an operation report

to give my superiors.

I'll get off here.

Okay.

Yes, I'm going to a meeting now.

Talk to you later.

Hold on.

Before you start picking up people,

learn your way around Tehran.

- How much?

- Whatever you like.

Thanks.

- Who are you?

- Are you talking to me?

- No, I'm talking to myself.

- I'm just one of God's creatures.

- Oh, really? What do you want?

- I'm looking for passengers.

You've come so late

and want to leave so quickly!

Beat it.

Earn somewhere else.

What's wrong with you?

I have to feed my family.

I have to earn a living.

Listen, buddy. All these people

pay money to work here.

Don't make me angry!

Are you telling me to leave?

Beat it! Wait further down the street!

Don't stand here!

What's the difference?

Move it!

Earn a living somewhere else!

Asghar, come on.

It's your turn.

Hello, Hajji. I'm at your service.

Where are you going?

- I need to make a few stops.

- Have a seat.

Please, have a seat.

Let's go.

- Aren't you working?

- Yes.

Come on.

Have a seat.

Wait, I'll fix it! Wait!
