TATLI İNTİKAM EPI 1

Çeviri: Ersin Ertürk

PELİN VO - Some girls are born as princesses. They are lucky. The luck stays with them for a
long time. The princess’s life goes on as it is supposed to be. Like a fairy tale. How
could you be unhappy as you have such a life? What could make you unhappy? Love
of course, even if you are a princess. Sometimes you never have a lucky break with
love. Never.

WOMAN - Damn her, who is this woman?

PELİN VO - I am the only daughter of a wealthy family. Not only a daughter, I am a princess. In
addition to that, I studied medicine. But I have never found love. But I never forget
that. Despite monsters and evil witches, fairytales have something nice. They always
have a happy ending. And as a kind hearted princess, I am at the end of my fairytale. I
have got my prince and I am getting married.

PELİN - How do I look?

SİMAY - You look so pretty.

SÜHEYLA - My baby, you look so beautiful, so pretty. I am having goose bumps. I could cry for 2
days.

RIZA - You are a mother. You are supposed to cry!

SÜHEYLA - But I am not going to cry. I am not, until the wedding is over and the last guest
leaves. I am going to keep my elegance throughout the wedding. Of course if the
relatives coming from Adana don’t do something weird.

RIZA - They are the guests of honor! They bring joy to the wedding. They won’t sit tight
like your swaggering relatives from Izmir.

PELİN - You promised me. You are not supposed to fight during the wedding.

SÜHEYLA - My dear, if your dad stops nagging me I will keep my elegance.

PELİN - Basak, the band is ready, right?

BAŞAK - It is all fine dear.

PELİN - The food?

SİMAY - The food is fine too. Don’t worry anymore.

SÜHEYLA - Don’t think about these things. Please smile, come on.

PELİN - I have to think about these mom. We haven’t still figured out even the flowers.
BAŞAK - Dear, the boy will bring the new ones. Come one now, smile.

SİMAY - Smile.

PELİN - I should smile, do I look pretty, right?

SİMAY -

BAŞAK -

SÜHEYLA - You look so pretty.

TOLGA - Wow. You look great my dear.

RIZA - What kind of a staring is that? You look at her hungrily!

SÜHEYLA - You must be kidding Riza. They are going to get married soon.

RIZA - It doesn’t matter. He can’t do that when I am around. We are from Adana, he
should get used to it. Come with me. I need to talk to you face to face for one last
time.

TOLGA - Okay sir.

SÜHEYLA - Just say okay and get along.

PELİN - Tolga, the cake is coming, right?

TOLGA - Don’t worry about the cake my love.

PELİN - Okay. Mom, I am so nervous.

SÜHEYLA - Dear, you are so pretty, why are you so nervous?

PELİN - The dress will get wrinkled.

PELİN - Unbelievable! You are so selfish Basak. You should have left space for other
bachelor girls.

BAŞAK - I am in hurry dear. I am almost over 30. I am in the home stretch. Please give me a
break.

PELİN - She is crazy.

BENGİSU - Write on my mom’s name too. Leave her some space too Basak.

SİMAY - Come here now dear. Come over. I am already married.

BENGİSU - Do they write the names for them to get married?

SÜHEYLA - You should get the kid a new dad.

BENİGUS - No, I don’t want a new dad.

SİMAY - My dear, you are so sweet. I don’t want that either.

BAŞAK - Okay, Pelin put these on but don’t walk like a soldier, you should rub your feet on
the floor so all Basak names will be erased. And you should pray that Tolga’s
handsome model friends to come here tonight, please.

PELİN - Don’t worry. All the guys from the worlds of modelling and tv will be here tonight.

BAŞAK - I love you.

PELİN - I love you too.

SÜHEYLA - The wedding will be all over on the newspapers tomorrow. Of course if your father’s
relatives from Adana don’t do something stupid.

PELİN - Come on mom.

SÜHEYLA - But they could do it.

PELİN - Come on now.

BAŞAK - Give me your feet.

PELİN - Wait.

SİMAY - Let me help you.

RIZA - Look, I have done everything she asked me to do. If you hurt him or she feels sad
because of you, I would do the first thing coming to mind without hesitation. She is
my precious.

BOY - Here it is.

TOLGA - I need to show it to Pelin now.

RIZA - Of course.

BOY - This is the 5th flower I have been taking you to today. My boss said he has tried all
the pinks except the pink of a monkey’s butt.

TOLGA - It is just pink, I am sure this is fine now. Thank you.

BÜLENT - Wow my brother. The cake looks great. I can tell that even the bride might be
jealous of it. I am serious.

SİNAN - There is no problem about the wedding dinner, right Bulent?

BÜLENT - No problem. Your guys are working so hard. They have handled everything. We can
check when we take the cake.
SİNAN - Bulent, don’t do that.

BÜLENT - Sinan, we should stick with this wedding business. There is a lot of money in it.

SİNAN - Bulent, this one is the last one. It is over now. Now..

BÜLENT -

SİNAN - I am the chef of my own place.

BÜLENT - I know brother but you have handled here with those wedding dinner and cakes
that you don’t like.

SİNAN - We haven’t completely. We need to make the last payment first.

BÜLENT - Consider it done. And add the payment coming from here too. Then we can take the
last bill from the guys.

SİNAN - Anyway, let’s do the finishing touches and take the cake there. Can you call over
Berkay?

BÜLENT - Berkay! He is in the back so can’t hear me. I need to go there.

PELİN - This is not pink! This is lilac.

SİMAY - Pelin please. Don’t cry!

PELİN - Simay, if you wanted pink flowers and they brought you something with this colour,
what would you do?

SİMAY - My dear, I understand you but please..

BAŞAK - Dear look, you know how you get down in special days when your make up is
ruined. Come on, don’t cry. Look up.

PELİN - Tolga, I understand this boy is color blind. But can’t you see that this is lilac? How
could you bring me this again?

TOLGA - It is pink. Why do you exaggerate?

BAŞAK -

SİMAY - Tolga!

PELİN - Tolga, do you think I have a wedding every week? This is my first and only wedding
Tolga! Please, everything has to be perfect, can you understand me? Everything has
to be perfect!

SÜHEYLA - Dear Tolga, we have handled all the wedding preparations. And you couldn’t
manage to bring the right flower.
TOLGA - I will take care of it my love.

BOY - Am I going to bring the 6th one? No way!

PELİN - Get him! He is running away!

SÜHEYLA - Where are you going my dear?

PELİN - Wait! Stop! I said stop. Please stop. I am begging you. I will pay you double! Please
stop.

PELİN - If you bring the flower I want, I will give you money. I will do anything you want.
Come here. Wait! Stop! Come here. Girls, get him!

PELİN - Get him! Come here! Stop!

BÜLENT - Hey!

PELİN - I said stop!

SİMAY -

BAŞAK - Pelin!

BAŞAK - Pelin!

PELİN - Get that flower boy! Başak! Simay! Get him!

BAŞAK - You can run faster, go.

TANKUT - Check, check.

PEOPLE - Isn’t that Tankut?

TANKUT - I have loved you since the first time I saw you. But since I found out that you love
me too, I am the happiest guy in the world.

PEOPLE - Way to go Tankut! That’s the love! Who is that lucky girl?

TANKUT - You want everything to be different and the best. I want to announce the love I
have for you to be worthy for your crazy and beautiful soul.

TANKUT - I love you so much Pelin Seyhan! I am in love with you!

PEOPLE - Bravo! Way to go!

PELİN - Is that a joke? Can you hold these? Are you a joke? Tankut, I have nothing to do
with you. Don’t you ever look at a mirror? Do you think we are matched? I would
never ever love you.

PELİNVO - I would never ever love you.

BAŞAK - Get up dear.

PELİN - Did flower boy run away?

BAŞAK - No, Simay went after her like a rabbit, you know she runs fast. Don’t worry, she will
get him.

PELİN - How unlucky I am Başak.

BÜLENT - Başak is such a nice name. I am Bulent, nice to meet you.

PELİN - Please tell me that this is not my cake. Tell me this is not my cake!

SİNAN - Is there any other bride here?

PELİN - You are supposed to apologize but you still talk!

SİNAN - Lady, you are the who dropped the cake. I am the one whose hard work got ruined.
So you are supposed to apologize! Not me.

BAŞAK - I have a great idea about this. I think it is brilliant. Now if we do something..

BÜLENT - Let’s not touch it. In such situations picking up a cake is not a good move. I have
another idea. Maybe in the time of the ceremony, the bride and and groom can come
here and cut the cake. It would be so nice.

PELİN - Very funny! You are both clumsy and funny pastry cooks. Okay, this is what we will
do. You are going to make me a new cake. End of subject, okay? My cake and flower
are going to be here, everything is going to be great. It is going to be a lovely
wedding, right Başak?

BAŞAK - Yes dear.

SİNAN - Your cake was here and you dropped it. The rest is none of my business.

PELİN - I said I want a new cake! That’s it!

BÜLENT - Please, please calm down. For god’s sake. This is our payment day, we need that
money. Don’t do something wrong. Okay? Don’t do that. Please, calm down.

SİNAN - So many things change in so many years. Cities, neighborhoods change. But a
human’s nature never changes. It stays the same.

BÜLENT - Sinan! Are you okay? You didn’t hit your head somewhere, did you?

SİNAN - That’s Pelin.

BÜLENT - Yes I know she is Pelin, but why did you say that’s Pelin? No way! You are kidding. Is
that Pelin we all know about? The girl who caused you dropped out of the medical
faculty? Is that her?

SİNAN - Life is full of surprises.

BÜLENT - That’s a weird surprise man. Look at her. What are you going to do?

SİNAN - Let’s take care of the cake first.

SİNAN - Chief Bahattin, I need you. I need a 5 tier wedding cake immediately.

BÜLENT - Please, find somewhere else to ask for it.

SİNAN - It should be pink, just put some pink cream on a cake and send it. You always do
such thing. We are waiting for it.

BÜLENT - I am sure his cakes are at least days old. He uses glucose. We will have a bad
reputation because of him, you should order it from somewhere else. Please.

SİNAN - Bulent, believe me that girl deserves much less.

RIZA - Welcome.

SÜHEYLA - Welcome. Welcome.

RIZA - She is better now, yes?

SÜHEYLA - Like the flower problem isn’t enough, she’s have to deal with the cake too Riza.
Welcome.

RIZA - Welcome. Let’s think that the cake shall be the only problem of today. Don’t worry
about that, let’s get over with it. Hello, how are you?

SÜHEYLA - Welcome. You should talk to your daughter about that.

RIZA - Welcome, how are you?

WOMAN2 - Hello.

RIZA - Once the wedding starts, she will forget about it anyway. Welcome.

SÜHEYLA - Oh, welcome.

WOMAN3 - Hello.

SÜHEYLA - Riza, those kids must be your relatives’ kids. Send Zubeyir to talk to them so they
can take care of the kids.

RIZA - They are kids, he can’t tie them to the chairs.

SÜHEYLA - Look at those kids of ours, they are all well behaved. People should act properly
Riza.

RIZA - Hello, welcome.

MAN2 - Hello.
SÜHEYLA - Welcome.

MAN3 - Congratulations.

SÜHEYLA - Thank you.

MAN4 - Give me that.

MAN5 - Take it.

MAN6 - Okay.

MAN4 - Take it.

HAKAN - Let me see.

MAN6 - It is okay.

MAN5 - Let me see, read it. Guys, here is the man of the hour.

HAKAN - What’s wrong with you? Are you still dealing with the flowers?

TOLGA - How could one curse on some flowers? I have been cursing on it for an hour.

MAN4 - This is nothing. It is just getting started. This what a marriage is all about.

HAKAN - Look at him, like he is married and knows all about marriages.

MAN4 - Okay, I am not married but I am not stupid either. I see you and my other friends
who are married. You are all pathetic.

PELİN - He can’t even handle getting the right flowers. I will talk to him about that after the
wedding.

BAŞAK - What do you mean? You will be different with him after the wedding?

SİMAY - Men are like frogs dear.

BAŞKA - What do you mean?

SİMAY - If you put a frog into some hot boiled water, what does it do?

BAŞKA - It dies.

SİMAY - No dear. It jumps away. Just like the men who runs away when we talk about
marriage. So what should we do?

BAŞAK - What should we do?

SIMAY - You should put the frog into cold water. Then you start to warm it up. You should
wait for it to boil, gradually. The frog will like the warm water and won’t realize it is
 boiling. So this is how you can convince your man for marriage. There is no other
way.

PELİN - Exactly. She is so right.

BAŞAK - Is that what you did Pelin?

PELİN - Girls, I don’t have a cake or flowers. And you talk about frogs.

BAŞAK - We just want to keep your mind busy.

PELİN - I just need my cake and flowers, that’s all.

SİMAY - The cake is ready and coming, everything is okay.

BAŞAK - I told you. There was no need for a new cake. That handsome chief should have just
put some cream on himself. It would be the best wedding cake ever. There was no
need for a new one.

SİMAY - There is a kid here, be careful.

BENGİSU - I heard that. But a guy with cream on it would be gross.

MAN4 - Guys, we have the approval. The tickets are ready.

PEOPLE - That’s it.

TOLGA - What tickets?

HAKAN - Don’t you know? European championship. He has arranged everything for a month.

MAN4 - All 5 have got the approval?

MAN5 - Of course. You know I never leave something uncomplete.

TOLGA - So who is not going? Are you not going?

HAKAN - Well.

TOLGA - Your wife doesn’t allow you again right, you henpecked.

HAKAN - As soon as our team was qualified for the championship I started to work on Simay.
And I managed to convince her. So I am going.

TOLGA - You are not going then?

MAN4 - You are not going Tolga. You are getting married. Do you forget that?

TOLGA - So what? Why would it be a problem?

HAKAN - You are getting married today. And you think you can go to France for Euro 2016 2
months later and stay there for a month? You should forget about the marriage, you
have a great imagination, you should be a writer or something.

TOLGA - Fatih Terim is the coach. Arda Turan is on top form. How could I miss that
championship? No way, I can’t allow that happen.

HAKAN - Look at him.

TOLGA - I am going.

MAN5 - No, I am paying a lot of money. We use my credit card. Go and get permission from
your wife first, then I promise to get you the tickets.

HAKAN - He is right.

MAN4 - I agree with him.

BOY - My boss said this is the last one. He already closed the shop. Tomorrow is our day
off.

TOLGA - This is fine. Thank you. Take it.

BOY - You will have a hard time in the marriage. Good luck with that.

TOLGA - Thank you. This is fine.

HAKAN - Tolga, you should forget about the first 5 years.

TOLGA - My god.

HAKAN - You have an owner now. If you have a bit luck, after the first 5 years things get a bit
easier. That’s what marriage is all about.

TOLGA - Hakan, brother.

HAKAN - Yes?

TOLGA - Ours will be different.

HAKAN - Sure.

TOLGA - It won’t a regular marriage. We will have respect for eachother’s freedom and
hobbies.

HAKAN - Yeah.

TOLGA - Don’t be like that, I know it will be different. Why are you all laughing?

MAN5 - I am sure it will be different.

TOLGA - Sweety, the flower is here.

PELİN - Girls, give me some handkerchief.

TOLGA - It is still not good?

PELİN - Are you blind? It is good now. That’s the pink I want. I am going to have tears of joy.

SİMAY - I don’t understand. Is it that hard to find the right color?

BAŞAK - And it is supposed to be the best flower store of Istanbul.

PELİN - It is done anyway.

TOLGA - We have handled the tickets too, I am so happy.

PELİN - What do you mean, ‘’ we’’ ?

TOLGA - My friends, Hakan and the others.

SİMAY - Are you going to go to France for Euro 2016 too? For a month.

TOLGA - We have been going to the games for years. I can’t leave my friends and the
national team in such a tournament. I thought it wouldn’t be appropriate.

PELİN - You did very well.

TOLGA - So you allow me to go?

PELİN - How could I allow you? Do you think I am stupid?

TOLGA - Sweetheart, Fatih Terim is the coach. Arda Turan plays for Barcelona and is on top
form. Besides the national team is great too.

PELİN - Is that so? So you can go and marry Arda Turan Tolga. Do you understand? Go and
marry him. Have you lost your mind? How could a newly married man leaves his wife
and goes abroad to watch football for a month? I was thinking, my sweetheart might
surprise with a nice honeymoon holiday. And you have been planning to stay in
France for a month with your friends. Such a nice move. We will pretend this
conversation has never happened. Okay my love? We forget about it, we are both
happy. Because our wedding is going to get started in 20 minutes. Okay my love?

TOLGA - Okay my love.

TOLGA - Okay.

BÜLENT - You give the evil Pelin the worst cake of the world. Are you happy now?

SİNAN - Not exactly. I wish I had a better chance. So I could have made her miserable.

BÜLENT - Still you did a good job. It was good. By the way, she is beautiful.
SİNAN - You know that beauty is just a cover. She is just like that.

BÜLENT - Let’s talk about the business. You will take care of the debt and the place will be
opened in 2 days. But you still haven’t taken care of the menu, what are you going to
do?

SİNAN - Bulent, you that place is so special to me. It is not something we could be in rush
about it. I want it to be the best.

BÜLENT - Okay, I’ll leave it to you then.

SİNAN - Thank you!

RIZA VO - If you hurt him or she feels sad because of you, I would do the first thing coming to
mind without hesitation.

SÜHEYLA VO - Dear Tolga, we have handled the wedding but somehow you couldn’t manage to get
the flowers done.

BOY VO - You will have a hard time in the marriage. Good luck with that.

HAKAN VO - You should forget about the first 5 years. You have an owner now.

PELİN VO - Have you lost your mind? How could a newly married man leaves his wife and goes
abroad to watch football for a month?

SİNAN - Bülent. Look at him. He might jump off.

BÜLENT - Come on, he won’t do that.

SİNAN - Come with me? Are you okay mate?

TOLGA - I am fine. I just couldn’t breath for a while. I needed to get some fresh air.

SİNAN - Okay, calm down. You don’t look good. Beside you are close to the edge. The
current here is really dangerous. It could just take you away.

TOLGA - It is not such a big deal. I can swim. I just needed some fresh air, it happens to me
sometimes.

SİNAN - It used to happen to me also. In such moments I always think about the people who
are in a worse situation than me. There is only one person tonight who is here and
can’t breath again.

TOLGA - Who is that?

SİNAN - The groom. Even if that poor guy thinks that he can breath while living with that
woman, all the other people in the world should be grateful.

TOLGA - You guys should give me a break, really.

BÜLENT - That was a good example. What was that?

SİNAN - How could I know?

SİMAY - It is good, right?

BAŞAK - Yes it seems like it.

SİMAY - Let’s see. You look great dear.

BAŞAK - Come on, let’s get the wedding started. Come on.

SÜHEYLA - Pelin, everyone is waiting for you!

PELİN - Okay mom. Let me get the flowers.

SÜHEYLA - Alright.

PELİN - I am ready mom, let’s go. Aren’t we forgetting something?

BAŞAK - Let me check, no. We are not.

SİMAY - You get your flowers.

PELİN - Something more important, the groom is missing!

RIZA - He just doesn’t care.

SÜHEYLA - I agree with you this time Riza. I can’t believe that he is that careless.

SİMAY - Go to the groom’s room and talk to your dad. Come on dear.

RIZA - His family is so careless too, his father is already drinking. He doesn’t care about
greeting the guests.

SÜHEYLA - But they are so noble.

BAŞAK -

SİMAY - Everything is going to be great.

BENGİSU - Dad! Dad!.

HAKAN - What’s up dear?

BENGİSU - Where is Tolga?

HAKAN - Isn’t he with the bride?

BENGİSU - No. They say they need to go out now.

HAKAN - My god. Where is he? Have you seen him?

MAN5 - No, I was inside, I didn’t see him.

HAKAN - Let’s look for him. Dear, go to your mom.

PELİN - What do you mean he is not here?

SÜHEYLA - maybe he passed out somewhere.

PELİN - There must be something bad has happened to him.

RIZA - We can find him, don’t worry. Zubeyir! The groom is missing.

ZÜBEYİR - What do you mean he is missing? Did he run away?

RIZA - Stop yelling! What’s wrong with you? How could he run away? He must be
somewhere around. He wanted to get married. You have to find him no matter what.
Come on.

ZÜBEYİR - Yes sir.

HAKAN - Tolga! Tolga! Tolga, are you there?

MAN7 - The groom is missing?

HAKAN - No no, he must be around.

ZÜBEYİR - Mate, have you seen the groom?

PARKINGGUY - Mister Tolga? No I haven’t.

RIZA - Have you seen the groom? Did he come here?

SERKAN - He didn’t, even if he did I haven’t seen him.

RIZA - My god.

SÜHEYLA - Where is he? We should have found him already.

SİMAY - He is not around.

BAŞAK - he is not.

SİMAY - Maybe Hakan has found him.

HAKAN - We checked everywhere. Hasn’t he come here yet?

RIZA - I checked the kitchen but he wasn’t there. Nobody has seen him.

ZÜBEYİR - I checked everywhere from the parking lot to the basement sir.

PELİN - Tolga is here. Somewhere. He must be. Where could he go as he loves me so much?
PEOPLE - What’s going on? Where is the groom? Is he not here? The groom is not here. Why
is the bride alone?

PELİN - Where are you my love? Please come here.

PELİN - Tolga.

PEOPLE - The groom has gone! Unbelievable. It can’t happen. Scandalous! Poor girl.

TOLGA VO - It can’t happen my Pelin. I can’t do it, forgive me.

SÜHEYLA - My Pelin!

BAŞAK - Pelin’s passed out. Call an ambulance.

SÜHEYLA - Pelin, my baby, please say something. Pelin? Should we call the psychologist?

RIZA - Why? Is my daughter crazy?

SÜHEYLA - Do I have to deal with you also Riza?

SİMAY - Did you scare him off by saying stupid things about marriage?

HAKAN - Why would someone like me who has a perfect marriage do that?

SİMAY - What happened then?

HAKAN - How could I know baby?

SİMAY - He has never called you?

HAKAN - He hasn’t dear.

SİMAY - Hakan, if you have anything to with it. If we get caught in a tight situation. You know
uncle Riza and Zubeyir very well.

HAKAN - Nothing is going to happen. I have nothing to do with it. Beside everyone knows
what side we are on. Here, we are on the right side. How could one run away from
the wedding? It is unacceptable!

SIMAY - Yes, bravo! I should check Pelin.

HAKAN - Tolga, how could you do that?

SİMAY - How are you my dear? She is still not talking?

BAŞAK - She hasn’t said anything.

RIZA - Open the door son. It must be Zubeyir. I told you so. A model can’t be a husband.
You said he was handsome, tall, has pretty eyes. Being a model is not a real job!
What’s wrong with you?
SÜHEYLA - Can’t you see her? She is miserable already.

RIZA - She is miserable already. She can’t be worse anyway. Is there any news about that
punk?

ZÜBEYİR - I checked everywhere sir, he is missing.

RIZA - have you checked his parents, the places he goes to?

ZÜBEYİR - His parents are clueless too. They are so sad also.

SÜHEYLA - Dear, where are you going Pelin?

PELİN - Please, just go and leave me alone.

SÜHEYLA - It can’t be like that dear.

PELİN - I said go!

SİMAY - Pelin!

RIZA - You will find that punk no matter what! Put someone in his home and work place!

ZÜBEYİR - yes sir! I will handle it.

RIZA - Nobody can leave me daughter like that. I will make him pay for it.

SÜHEYLA - My baby, Pelin please open the door.

PELİN - Mom please go. Leave me alone please.

SÜHEYLA - I am worried about you baby.

BAŞAK - Pelin!

SİMAY - Open the door Pelin.

SÜHEYLA - Pelin sweetheart, open the door please. What are we going to do?

BAŞAK - I really don’t know Süheyla.

PELİN - Sorry dear. I am so sorry. I am in hurry. Sorry.

TANKUT - He said dear.

PELİN - Have you done it in 3 days?

TANKUT - I haven’t slept. But I think it is great!

PELİN - You are great! Girls, let’s give it to the professor. Thank you.

BÜLENT - What have you done mate?

SİNAN - You were complaining about the unfinished menu. Here it is.

BÜLENT - You worked so hard already and still did all these ? what can I say? You are great.
Thank you. Did you give a name to the first menu of the restaurant?

SİNAN - Yes. First Love.

BÜLENT - This is your first restaurant and menu. Is that why?

SİNAN - What else could it be Bülent?

SÜHEYLA - We are on the headlines of all the tabloid press.

RIZA - You were saying that we would be on the headlines thanks to the famous groom.
Here we are. Be proud now Suheyla.

SÜHEYLA - Am I the guilty one now?

RIZA - Of course you are. You were saying nothing but they are such a noble family. You
wanted it, I didn’t.

SÜHEYLA - Our daughter wanted it! It didn’t matter if we wanted or not.

RIZA - Nonsense.

SÜHEYLA - Besides let’s not get nervous.

RIZA - Then don’t get me nervous please.

SÜHEYLA - She is coming

RIZA - Get rid of the newspapers.

PELİN - Good morning my dears.

SÜHEYLA - Good morning baby.

RIZA - Baby, how are you?

PELİN - I am good dad. Very good.

SÜHEYLA - Are you? Don’t say that just to make us happy.

PELİN - No mom. I feel like reborn, I am not sad at all. You know what I am thinking? I am
glad Tolga left me. The period before the wedding took too long anyway. I was bored
too.

SÜHEYLA - That’s my girl, I knew you were strong. But I didn’t expect you to be that strong
Pelin.

PELİN - I am your daughter mom.

RIZA - You went through a lot. You need a vacation.

SÜHEYLA - Yes you should go to New York City. You love there.

RIZA - We can rent a place for you. Stay there for a few months. Get your head together.
You can take your friends too.

SÜHEYLA - I can visit you there sometimes too.

PELİN - There is no need, really. I will go on with my life. Even today I am going to go to
work.

RIZA - Baby, you don’t have to do it in the first day.

PELİN - No dad, let me kiss you mom.

SÜHEYLA - Good luck baby.

PELİN - Mom, why are these here?

SÜHEYLA - I just wanted to clear the mess.

PELİN - They will ink the chair.

RIZA - It is a brand new chair.

SÜHEYLA - It is all fine.

PELİN - The groom runs away, the bride collapses. I haven’t collapsed at all. I am all good,
okay! I am just fine!

SÜHEYLA - Don’t care about those rubbish. They do nothing but stupid journalism.

RIZA - Of course. They know nothing.

SÜHEYLA - Exactly.

PELİN - I have never been better! Okay! I feel like a bomb! I have no problem! I am great!

SÜHEYLA -Of course baby. Don’t care about them.

PELİN - I am just great.

RIZA - If I get Tolga, I will lock him in and beat for a few day, by giving breaks. This is my
promse.

SÜHEYLA - Don’t do that Riza.

RIZA - No, I need that.

BAŞAK - Your phone is ready, call her.

PELİN - Yes.

SİMAY - Hello, how are you my dear? Are you feeling better sweetheart?

PELİN - I am fine. I am all good.

SİMAY - She is so down. She sounds terrible. I am so happy to hear that. Do you want to
meet?

PELİN - It is a good idea.

SİMAY - Okay then, bye.

PELİN - See you, bye.

SİMAY - It will be so hard this time.

BAŞAK - I was expecting that, we will need a pry to lift her up.

SİMAY - I think we should go to a hairdresser first. When she broke up Kemal it helped her.

BAŞAK - Then we can go to see a movie.

SİMAY - Don’t be silly. We went to see a movie when she broke up with Firat, don’t you
remember what she did?

BAŞAK - Yes, she cried during a Cem Yilmaz movie and caused a mess. Okay, forget about
movies.

SİMAY - This one is a much bigger deal, like three times bigger than other break ups.

BAŞAK - My poor friend.

MELİHA - My great son, you always bring home something.

SİNAN - This is not a big deal mom.

MELİHA - Enjoy it dear. Bon appetite. Give me your plate.

NECİP - But the minced ones are left to Sinan and I am having ones with spinach.

MELİHA - If you bring home something some day, I can give you something minced.

HAVVA - Don’t say that mom.

MELİHA - Why not?

SİNAN - I am not so hungry anyway.

MELİHA - What is going on? You just don’t let him eat. My son, you are a working guy. You
need to eat. You need some nutrition to take care of yourself.

NECİP - What do you mean by saying working guy mom? Are you trying to needle me?

MELİHA - Of course not son. I have stopped needling you years ago my dear son in law. I am
telling this to you directly, but it never works anyway.

NECİP - I am about to have some big improvements dear mom. We will breathe easy soon.

HAVVA - I hope so my love.

SİNAN - Good luck with it.

MELİHA - Look at that, you believe him so easily.

NECİP - Listen to that too Sinan.

SİNAN - I am listening.

MELİHA - We have been listening to you for a long time son. We have been hearing your lies
since the day you got our daughter.

NECİP - I am going to make business with China.

MELİHA - I am sorry. I am almost having a nervous breakdown. How come can you talk like a
big businessman?

HAVVA - You never give him a chance mom.

MELİHA - This is nonsense. I gave him a chance. We let you marry him. Since then we haven’t
made both ends meet.

NECİP - What was I saying Sinan?

SİNAN - You were about to make business with China.

NECİP - yes exactly. I am about to make business with the Chines, I am actually doing it. But
there is a little problem of cash flow. If I can figure it out..

MELİHA - We won’t give you anything.

NECİP - Maybe Sinan is interested in that.

MELİHA - I said we, son. Just wait. Bring us some more tea, I’ll get the door. Slice some pieces
of bread too. It must be Ceyda.

SİNAN - Okay. It is good to see her.

HAVVA - I get your glasses.

SİNAN - Thank you sister.

NECİP - My mom thinks Ceyda could be a good bride for you.

SİNAN - Don’t be ridiculous Necip. You know I don’t like to talk about such things.

NECİP - Come on, I am just kidding.

MELİHA - Welcome dear. My sweetheart. Welcome.

CEYDA - Thank you. I am in the neighborhood to collect the rents. I wanted to stop by.

MELİHA - That’s very nice of you.

SİNAN - Yes. Is he there early? No no, I will be right there, see you. Enjoy the meal Necip, I
need to go. Next time I will bring more minced ones.

MELİHA - Come on in. Sinan is here. Come in.

CEYDA - No, I don’t want to bother you.

MELİHA - Come on, you never bother us.

SİNAN - How are you Ceyda?

CEYDA - I am good, you?

SİNAN - Thanks, I am good too.

CEYDA - Are you leaving?

MELİHA - Where are you going son? Why are you in such a hurry?

SİNAN - I got a call. There was some special cooking pot I ordered. They have brought them
early, I need to get them.

CEYDA - I can give you a lift if you like.

SİNAN - No need, I came here with my car anyway. Don’t bother yourself for me, get inside. I
brought some nice pies, you should try them.

CEYDA - I had breakfast, I am not hungry. But thanks anyway. I just wanted to see Meliha.

SİNAN - Okay, I have to go mom. See you.

MELİHA - He never stays here for a long time.

HAVVA - Where is everybody?

NECİP - Sinan just left, I need to go too. Can you give me some money?

HAVVA - I gave you some yesterday dear.

NECİP - Baby, I need to buy some drinks and dinner for people whom I am making business
with. Money goes away.

HAVVA - Let’s finish this month like that, we should take care of it.

NECİP - Maybe we will be rich by the end of the month.

HAVVA - I hope so my love. Bye. I hope so.

CEYDA - Some other time then.

MELİHA - My dear. You are coming to the opening, right? You have to come.

CEYDA - I will try.

MELİHA - Okay.

NECİP - Ceyda, can you give me a lift? I have a business meeting.

MELİHA - Where are you going?

CEYDA - It is not important Meliha.

MELİHA - My dear god. He is up to something cruddy again.

NECİP - When I heard that you were not coming inside, I just ran out. I need to talk to you
about some business. I am about to do something big. I will be working with China.
But I need some money. What is going on?

CEYDA - Get out.

NECİP - No, we are not there yet.

CEYDA - I said get out. Don’t you understand me?

NECİP - Okay I understand. Call me then. You have my number.

CEYDA - I wonder for how long you will keep ruining this family.

PELİN - Maybe I have exaggerated it a bit. Look at this, I can’t handle the bags.

SİMAY -

BAŞAK - It is all fine.

SİMAY - Besides it is mid season. The best time for shopping.

PELİN - Are you okay dear? What happened to your face? Is your mother around?

LITTLEBOY - She is there.

PELİN - Let’s go then. Basak, these things won’t just go away, right?

BAŞAK - We can’t do it like this, but I think I have a pomade. Hello.

WOMAN4 - Hello.

BAŞAK - This pomade is for your son. Before he goes to sleep, you should put it on his scars.

WOMAN4 - Thank you very much.

PELİN - This is my card. You can see my address on it. You can find me if he is not okay. I can
help you then.

WOMAN4 - Thank you.

PELİN - Let’s go girls.

WOMAN4 - Dear? You are in pain. You are in a big pain. You got hurt a lot.

PELİN - No, where did you get this idea? I am all good. I have no problem at all.

WOMAN4 - What you say is not important to me, your eyes tell me these. Don’t get sad so
much. Let it go. Let him go.

PELİN - Who?

WOMAN4 - The one who left you. The one who broke his promise. There is someone like that,
isn’t there?

BAŞAK - Pelin? I am getting scared. She knows about everything.

WOMAN4 - It is like, someone stuck a dagger into your heart.

PELİN - What else do you see?

WOMAN4 - There is a reason behind all these. You stuck that dagger into someone’s heart too.
You destroyed that person. If you love, you are loved. If you hurt, you are hurt. Find
whoever you did hurt, remove that dagger and relieve the wounds. Apologize. Don’t
let him go before he says that he forgives you. Otherwise you will spend rest of your
life alone.
