Never mind. We're busy.

Slow down. Wait for me!

Cool!

Why do stars shoot?

l asked that once. lt's so crowded

up there that some fall to earth.

Who'd you ask?

A friend.

Why're you farting, you pansy!

We're outside.

What's the big deal?

lt stinks just as much.

Don't cry my boy.

So are you little pests

sleeping up on the roof?

What's so funny?

Don't cry, honey.

Gule! Nafiz!

Go tell your father

to get the bonesetter.

-The poor thing broke his foot.

-OK, mom.

Don't forget to

put on your underwear.

How did you know?

Come on. Get going.

What's all the racket about?

-Ylmaz broke his foot.

-Which Ylmaz?

Remember your son?!

What an idiot!

Get out of my way.

You'd think l broke his foot.

Get up, Gule

and make me breakfast!

Esteemed citizens...

...a surfeit of sand in the

municipal mains...

..may lead to certain unavoidable

obstruction of services.

Thank you for your

restraint and patience.

What's he talking about?

Water isn't running because the pipes

are filled with sand.

What would life be without

your entertaining announcements.

What a great mayor we have.

Water running through the streets...

...but not through the pipes.

What a great job!

lt's not the Mayor's fault.

lt's that bastard contractor.

Watch your mouth!

Fikri's my cousin.

Well, l'm related to the Mayor.

Did l call the Mayor a bastard?

You can't, because he isn't one.

And is Fikri a bastard?

lf he weren't your cousin, he'd be

the biggest bastard around.

Now you're talking.

What's so funny?

Fikri, you haven't done any work.

How can you ask for money?

We all know that contractors

occasionally get down to work.

You don't like the work

but you like the money.

You and your team grab all contracts,

but do nothing.

Mr. Mayor, those words

of yours sure sting.

Can words sting an ox!

What are insults to oxen?

Why couldn't you

lay a pipe in five years?

We never get advances in time.

You waste them carousing around

with women.

lf l've spent so much as a penny

on a woman, l'm no man.

We all know you're no man.

Mayor, you're addressing the

grandson of Village Head Bedri!

Bedri was a muledriver.

So you can't love animals

and be village head?

The late, great lover of mules.

You're wasting my time. Get out!

At least give me my advance.

Fikri!

Don't expect any work

to get done then.

Do you expect my team

to work for free?

Get the money back from your

women and give it to the men, then.

What's this obsession with women?

Have you been paid, Mr. Fikri?

Fat chance! When l campaign

for him, we get along.

When it comes to money, he

starts squirming.

When he needs me it's all praises

for my grandfather,...
