What does that mean?

Try to think of me too!

Everyone says

she wants to get married

and you stubbornly keep on saying:

"The answer's no."

The answer's no!

Give me at least two reasons.

Explain it to me.

You're illiterate,

you've got no home!

The important thing is manners,

intelligence and understanding.

You may be kind and understanding,

but you need a house!

She chose me.

You're stopping us living together.

The answer's no.

You've got no house, you're illiterate,

you're empty-headed.

Mind your own business!

You won't have her!

Stop thinking about her!

Otherwise,

I'll make your life hell!

If her parents were still alive,

I'd at least have a little hope...

But with you, nothing!

If they were alive,

they wouldn't give her to you.

Even them!

Are you sure that's also the way

your granddaughter feels?

My answer's no!

Cut!

Wait a minute!

What are you doing there?

Run fast, come over here...

A little faster!

Come quickly over here.

Back here...

We're filming

Sound.

Camera.

Scene 7, shot 2, take 2

Action!

After I take Tahereh back,

can I go and fetch the one...

That...

Who?

After I take Tahereh back

can I go and fetch Poursadeghi?

- Who's Poursadeghi?

- The girl with green eyes.

Ask Tahereh, not me.

She's better for the part.

But I can't do anything

if she won't talk.

She doesn't listen,

she doesn't act...

It's obvious. He's the problem!

With Azim,

there wasn't any problem.

Let's avoid the problems.

- How?

- Do what you can.

- I'm not sure I'll be able to.

- Try anyway.

- All right.

Hossein, fetch my cigarettes

from the car.

- What?

- Fetch my cigarettes.

All right.

- Hello Bagheri.

- Hello.

- How are you?

- Very well, thanks.

I'm delighted.

That smells good.

What are you cooking up for us?

Mirza ghassemi.

The crew asked for it for dinner.

Bagheri?

Yes?

What was the dish

with the sharp taste?

That was torshi tareh.

How do you make that?

- Torshi Tareh?

- No. In fact...

- I'd rather you told me...

- What?

Isn't your wife jealous

of your cooking skills?

She used to be once, yes.

Now she isn't here any more.

- Really?

- Yes. She's dead.

She was killed in the earthquake.

God bless her.

- You're alone now?

- Alone, yes.

- Cigarette?

- No, I just had one.

Bagheri?

Yes...?

I mean, now...

you're not thinking

of finding a companion?

I don't want to remarry.

Why? You're all alone.

I lived with her for fifty years.

She gave me six children.

It wouldn't be right.

But your children

have left home now.

It would be nice for you

to have a companion.

My life's coming to an end...

You're joking,

you're in your prime!

A lot of women here have

lost their husbands,
