Movie Dialogue Sample
323
00:41:14,246 --> 00:41:16,494
Do you like my watch?
324
00:41:18,827 --> 00:41:21,121
Waris, you are
going to marry him...
325
00:41:21,413 --> 00:41:25,161
...and you will
be his fourth wife.
326
00:41:25,453 --> 00:41:29,453
The wedding takes
place tomorrow.
327
00:42:03,036 --> 00:42:05,285
Mom, I don't want to marry him.
328
00:42:05,452 --> 00:42:10,536
Galool Mohammed paid a lot of
money for you, you can't refuse it.
329
00:43:07,409 --> 00:43:10,617
Where are you going?
- To Grandma.
330
00:43:10,907 --> 00:43:13,698
To Mogadishu. That's very far.
331
00:43:13,865 --> 00:43:15,450
I'm coming with you.
332
00:43:18,656 --> 00:43:22,283
No, they need you here, brother.
333
00:43:22,575 --> 00:43:26,740
Do not worry. I'm going to make a lot of
334
00:43:27,032 --> 00:43:29,699
money in the city, and then I'll come and get you.
335
00:46:36,692 --> 00:46:38,609
Mom...
336
00:47:45,816 --> 00:47:47,857
Mogadishu?
337
00:47:48,024 --> 00:47:49,939
Yes, hurry.
338
00:48:20,647 --> 00:48:22,357
Be silent.
339
00:48:24,855 --> 00:48:26,396
Mom.
340
00:48:30,648 --> 00:48:33,605
You have to keep
your mouth shut.
341
00:49:05,022 --> 00:49:07,938
Where is the mosque?
- Over there.
342
00:49:59,018 --> 00:50:03,602
Mama, you see what happens
when you live with goats and sheep.
343
00:50:03,769 --> 00:50:07,101
We can't keep her she
has to go back home.
344
00:50:07,393 --> 00:50:12,101
A girl who dares to make the long journey
through the desert must have a good reason.
345
00:50:12,268 --> 00:50:16,478
She has dishonored our family.
- Enough. Get back to work.
346
00:50:21,850 --> 00:50:24,519
It's a miracle you survived.
347
00:50:24,809 --> 00:50:26,850
It was the will of Allah.
348
00:50:27,017 --> 00:50:29,559
You have your mother's lips.
349
00:50:29,725 --> 00:50:32,601
I always called her Afyareh.
350
00:50:32,893 --> 00:50:35,850
Grandma, why haven't
we ever seen you?
351
00:50:36,017 --> 00:50:39,726
Because your mother ran
away to marry your father.
352
00:50:39,893 --> 00:50:42,267
A man we didn't like...
353
00:50:42,434 --> 00:50:44,602
...because he was a nomad.
354
00:50:44,768 --> 00:50:49,058
I wonder if it made her happy.
355
00:50:49,225 --> 00:50:52,559
All that pain must be worth it.
356
00:51:35,141 --> 00:51:36,766
Waris...
357
00:51:39,682 --> 00:51:42,016
Damn...damn...
358
00:51:47,056 --> 00:51:49,307
Flowers.
359
00:51:57,681 --> 00:52:00,680
Such a bed is quite
comfortable, isn't it?
360
00:52:00,847 --> 00:52:04,391
It was such a busy day.
361
00:52:07,473 --> 00:52:10,681
On my legs all day.
362
00:52:45,762 --> 00:52:47,389
Day.
363
00:52:48,263 --> 00:52:50,137
Come on in.
364
00:52:55,138 --> 00:52:57,679
You don't look famous.
365
00:52:59,012 --> 00:53:02,179
Fame... Yes, indeed.
366
00:53:02,555 --> 00:53:06,137
Fame is practical for passing
pass control effortlessly.
367
00:53:06,303 --> 00:53:10,096
But the cemeteries are full of
people who thought they were great.
368
00:53:13,303 --> 00:53:14,514
You forgot.
369
00:53:18,262 --> 00:53:20,428
Have you kept track
of it the whole time?
370
00:53:22,137 --> 00:53:23,637
Thank you.
371
00:53:26,679 --> 00:53:29,845
How much do you
pay to photograph me?
372
00:53:32,136 --> 00:53:35,551
Usually I'm the one who
gets paid for the photos.
373
00:53:39,136 --> 00:53:42,552
Do you really want
to become a model?
374
00:53:44,595 --> 00:53:47,427
I want a better life.
375
00:54:02,094 --> 00:54:05,552
Try to relax.
376
00:54:11,886 --> 00:54:15,302
Yes, okay.
- And how are you?
377
00:54:15,593 --> 00:54:19,219
Finished.
- Good. We begin.
378
00:54:19,969 --> 00:54:22,301
Just sit on the stool.
379
00:54:22,759 --> 00:54:25,217
Change the battery.
380
00:54:27,302 --> 00:54:29,926
Sit down.
381
00:54:34,718 --> 00:54:37,801
Good.
382
00:54:38,759 --> 00:54:41,802
Turn that way. Like this.
383
00:54:41,968 --> 00:54:45,342
Look at that white
thing. Well done.
384
00:54:45,509 --> 00:54:49,217
We're going to do some tests.
385
00:55:01,091 --> 00:55:02,717
What's your name?
386
00:55:03,592 --> 00:55:05,967
Waris.
- Waris?
387
00:55:06,716 --> 00:55:09,509
Okay, Waris, let's start.
388
00:55:14,008 --> 00:55:16,509
Okay, the chin a little higher.
389
00:55:32,633 --> 00:55:34,382
That's not how it works.
- I'm wasting your time.
390
00:55:34,549 --> 00:55:37,384
No, no, sit down.
391
00:55:38,633 --> 00:55:42,756
Look over there.
It is well. Okay.
392
00:55:44,882 --> 00:55:46,882
And, Waris...
393
00:55:47,257 --> 00:55:49,172
Do you often think about home?
394
00:55:55,006 --> 00:55:57,755
To your mother and your father?
395
00:56:00,048 --> 00:56:03,548
To your brothers and sisters?
396
00:56:04,131 --> 00:56:07,340
Typical Donaldson. He is
only interested in your profile.
