01x04 - Longing

Post by bunniefuu »

[adult Işık] None of you showed up

for the photoshoot that day.

I was so hurt, so upset.

I still can't get over the pain

and loneliness I felt.

What about today? Will you come?

[kids laughing]

Please come.

Don't make me go through

that terrible pain again.

[inhales sharply]

Let me do that.

[Burcu] Sure.

I love how you smell

first thing in the morning.

[giggles]

This cut is still not healing.

- [kisses] It will. Let's bandage it again.

- Mmm.

- Will it heal?

- It will.

[man] Open your eyes, my love.

[gasps]

[exhales sharply] What the hell?

[clicks tongue]

Such bullshit.

- [Osman] Fifteen if you win.

- [boy] Okay.

It's a good deal.

Now I booked you for four games

in a row. Is that too much?

All right, then. I've started taking bets.

Free throw.

[upbeat music playing]

Pleasure doing business, bro.

[crowd cheering and applauding]

[cheering]

[groans]

- This isn't a wrestling match.

- It's streetball, man, not the NBA!

- What does that mean?

- Hey, stop!

- Let go of me! I'm gonna f*ck him up.

- Calm down. It's okay.

Game over. Here.

- We were still playing!

- No, you won. Take it and get out of here.

- Come on. Calm down, all right?

- Dude, come on!

No, come on. Sit down.

[whistles]

- How much for the whole tray?

- Twenty, man.

[indistinct chatter]

- No school today, huh?

- You tell me. We still have customers.

- f*ck it. Let's just make some more money.

- Mm-hmm.

- Still haven't returned it yet?

- They didn't take it back.

I don't have anyone to give it to, either.

I have someone in mind, actually.

But I'm not sure if I have the ba*ls.

Take it, then. And you'll know.

Hello!

No, yeah. Yeah, man.

We're definitely down.

Yeah, and two games works for us.

- What's up? Who were you eyeing?

- Mind your own business.

[indistinct chatter]

Come and join us.

Good morning. We didn't get to talk.

I seem to remember we had a date.

I'm sorry. I've been distracted.

Let me help you out.

- Good morning!

- [teacher] Morning.

Mr. Refik, you remember we were going to

switch classes for Wednesday.

- Yes, I remember. Don't worry.

- Thank you. I appreciate it.

[Refik] No worries.

[indistinct chatter]

[slow music playing]

[student] Miss! Do you have a second?

Is there a chance we can move things

to the end of next week?

Please, I didn't get a chance to study.

My parents will k*ll me!

- Okay, I get it.

- She said it's okay!

Wait a second. Stop.

- Come on. You just said you'd postpone it!

- No, I did not say that.

[music continues]

[Eda] Hey!

Can I talk to you for a sec?

- Here.

- What's this?

- Are you for real? Come on.

- Thanks for the beer, but I don't drink.

Fine. I'll drink them both, then.

[man] Hot mussels! Hot mussels!

Why did you make me come here?

I thought we weren't friends anymore.

Işık, please, can you cut it out? Come on.

You know, I've been thinking.

I think I know

why you got so upset yesterday.

And why you switched your test paper

with Sinan's.

We share a desk, after all.

I mean, I did it as a favor. But he just

- Yeah, right. Whatever you say.

- Of course, Eda. Why else would I do it?

But I didn't realize

how much of an as*h*le he could be.

That's Sinan.

He's an as*h*le in a nutshell.

The real question is

why do you all of a sudden care so much?

Is it really that obvious?

No. But I can tell.

Do you think Sinan knows? Did he hurt me

as a way to say he's not interested?

I have no idea. Who knows what goes on

in that f*cked-up mind of his.

I'm not gonna apologize.

Okay, f*ck it. I guess I'm sorry.

It's just that apologies

are questionable expressions at best.

As they often only serve

the person apologizing.

Are you seriously

getting philosophical right now?

Fair enough. I'll get to it.

Altuna is really into her.

- How do you know?

- I know there's something going on.

From what I saw, they're both too proud

to make the first move.

I'm thinking about talking to them.

Then we can come up with a new plan

and move forward.

Let's not call it off just yet.

- You said you didn't know about love.

- I know about weakness.

And love is the worst of them.

It makes you lose your self-respect.

So a new plan or not?

So why now?

What do you mean?

What made you start caring? Why?

And why are you so angry all the time?

Or is it because you're just hangry?

[chuckles] I'm not angry all the time..

And I'm not hungry either.

I'm usually just very full of beer.

But you are angry.

- Do you know what a graphic designer does?

- Yeah.

It's a worthless job.

There's no money in it

No prestige, either.

Who'd want to be a graphic designer?

Sounds like you do.

Why would I?

I'm a very pretty girl, you know?

I should just marry a rich guy,

live a life of luxury.

Not be hunched over a computer.

Beauty is an asset.

It's not worth anything

unless you turn it into success.

Well, by success,

are you talking about having money?

- Yep. Is there any other kind?

- Of course there is!

Being happy. Living with people you love.

I don't know.

You know, making a difference

in the world around you.

Doing a job that you love

even if you don't make that much.

Yeah, but it's not that easy.

Let's say you want to travel the world.

You need money to do that, don't you?

Honestly, I would prefer swimming

in this shitty little coastline

than traveling the world

with someone I have to pretend to love.

I see that Sinan's been brainwashing you.

[Eda sighs]

Oh, what are we gonna do

with these long lives ahead of us?

Who will we become? What will we achieve?

[sings] I can't take my words back ♪

I can't rewrite what I already wrote ♪

[man] Hey, shut the f*ck up!

f*ck off, man!

[song continues on radio]

I can't turn back again ♪

If my tears are dropping

May they not dry ♪

May my cheering

Loving heart never stop ♪

May my old, friendly memories not call ♪

[adult Işık]

We were true to ourselves at 17.

Did we lose ourselves along the way?

Sometimes, I can't help but wonder.

Is this the real me?

Have I always been this person?

Have you ever thought about these things?

Thank you, man.

I don't like you at all.

I know. It's okay, I'm used to it.

Okay, we don't need

to like each other, guys.

Let's be pragmatic.

We have a common goal,

and we're all in this together.

Understand?

I'll talk to the girls,

you talk to Mr. Altuna. Hm?

[Kemal groans]

[sighs]

[sighs]

- [bone cracks]

- [groans, shouts]

Is this a bad time?

What do you need?

Wanna drink?

Why are you always acting

like a f*cking drug dealer?

Okay, I'll go.

[Kemal] Wait. Come back.

So what's your deal? Are you traumatized

because, like, your injury

made you quit basketball?

I'm not gonna be friends

with a 17-year-old piece of sh*t.

This is a school. That's not how

things work around here.

Well, I'm different.

Nobody has expectations of me,

so I can do whatever I want.

Good for you.

Why are you here?

Are you really that much of a loser?

- I'm curious about you. What's your deal?

- My deal?

Let's make one thing perfectly clear:

I hate 17-year-olds.

I hated myself when I was 17.

I'm the last person

who should be a teacher,

and probably the worst person

to guide anyone.

I'm telling you this in case you expect

some kind of Dead Poets Society situation.

Believe me, I don't need another dad.

Since you're here, what's your deal?

You don't need to worry about me.

Drink up.

I was right. He's an emotional guy.

I think he's capable of falling in love

with someone.

I don't think he's a complete as*h*le.

He's good.

- "Good"?

- I mean, he's a decent guy at heart.

He just doesn't care what people think.

Hopefully.

- I genuinely think he's a good person.

- Is there really such a thing as "good"?

You sure you want to ask him that?

You're getting into philosophy.

He's not gonna shut up.

Right. Are you saying this might work?

Hey, boys. We're in a good mood, huh?

I wouldn't have come

if it weren't for Osman.

How are you, Işık?

I'm okay.

I'm sorry.

[Eda] Ooh! [chuckles]

Mr. Altuna's in love with her.

- Yeah?

- When?

Well, let's not go that far,

but there's definitely something going on.

We're back to "something"?

Hope is so f*cked up.

- [Osman] What do we do now?

- Let's get out of here and go to my place.

- Seriously, guys?

- What?

Come on. We have Geography class.

Oh, come on, Işık.

You gotta be kidding me.

[Billy]

So there are 54 countries in Africa.

In Northern Africa, there is Morocco,

Algeria, Libya

All on the same latitude.

Okay?

All right. In Southern Africa,

we have Namibia,

Tanzania, Botswana, South Africa,

Lesotho, and Mozambique.

Please turn to page five.

[Refik] The wiring in this school

will k*ll us all one day.

Mr. Refik, please be careful with that.

Well, how are you? It's been a while.

[laughs] Do you two

normally see each other more?

I mean, how wonderful for our teachers

to be getting along so well.

I think there must be a misunderstanding.

Obviously, the coach was just

making an observation.

Nothing more, nothing less.

You understand.

Just an observation.

You know Ms. Distas is always right.

What are you saying?

I'm just gonna call Ramo

to tidy up this mess. [chuckles awkwardly]

[clears throat]

Is there something you want to say to me?

Hey, are you all right?

- See you tomorrow.

- See you later.

All right, I'm done.

Let's go to your house.

We always end up waiting for you.

You work way too much.

[Işık] Why would you do that?

Have a good evening.

["You Give Love a Bad Name"

by Bon Jovi playing]

[Osman] Who's that?

Are you sh1tting me?

She has a frickin' boyfriend!

- Holy sh*t.

- What the hell?

- We're f*cked.

- What is this?

She's already in love with someone else.

We never should have interfered

with her love life.

- What's the plan now?

- There is no plan. We go home.

An angel's smile is what you sell ♪

You promise me heaven

Then put me through hell ♪

- Did you miss me?

- Oh, it's so hot in here. [chuckles]

Of course I did. How was the drive?

It was exhausting but worth it.

Not in front of the kids!

- Ta-da!

- Oh, wow

You remembered.

How could I forget? They smell like home.

You like them? Huh?

[sniffs]

Mmm. Thank you.

So glad we're back together.

[engine starts]

What is going on here?

Where did he come from?

[indistinct chatter]

[school bell ringing]

- Aren't you gonna show me your room?

- There's no need. I have to go.

- You just don't want me in there.

- I've got to get to class.

All right. Bye. Have a good day.

Have a good day.

- Hey there. How are you?

- Hello.

I'm fine, thank you.

Darling, darling, you forgot your folder!

Your folder! Burcu, wait!

[thunder rumbling]

- We'll get rid of him, then!

- No way! That's going way too far.

Nope, that's saving our asses!

She has to fall in love to get married

so she can stay here.

Okay, she can marry this guy.

What's the problem?

His license plate number is from Trabzon,

so he's gotta be her boyfriend. Get it?

She probably asked

to be moved closer to him.

I mean, her family is already there.

- f*ck this sh*t.

- Okay, but that's her decision.

It's not our place to get involved.

- I'm out from now on.

- The guy is a piece of sh*t.

Well, all right, he's not hot, but he's

not so bad. It's not like he's a troll.

Well, he's got a bad personality, too.

It'll be good for Distas to get rid

of him. He's not right for her.

Sinan, that's a reach, even for you.

How can you even know that?

Besides, Ms. Distas is a very nice person.

She must've found someone kind.

Well, she didn't. He's a piece of sh*t!

Enough with this "piece of sh*t" talk.

We need a new plan.

- So what do you suggest?

- Wait a minute!

If he is a piece of sh*t, are you in?

Because if so, we'll be doing her a favor

by getting rid of him.

Well I wouldn't want her

to ever be unhappy.

[recorder playing]

[school bell ringing]

[teacher] Don't forget to practice

and do your homework!

I want your songs ready

by next week, okay?

He's here to pick her up.

It's kinda romantic, you know?

I think it's beautiful.

We shouldn't spoil it.

I'll show you how beautiful it is.

[thunder rumbling]

- What's up?

- What's he doing?

Where are you going, man?

Hello. We met this morning.

Oh, hi.

Ms. Distas sent me down here.

She said,

"Sinan, my friend is waiting down there.

Tell him I'm coming right away."

Okay. All right. Thank you.

What's this idiot up to?

He's going to get sick.

She is such a sweet person, isn't she?

She told me

she wanted to talk to me as well.

She asked me to wait with you.

Probably about the homework

I just turned in.

I hope I get a good grade.

It's really important to me.

[Kerem] Look at this m*therf*cker!

He could at least give him the jacket.

- [Eda] Like you would.

- What?

Sinan's already wet,

and the guy could get sick.

Would you give your jacket

to some random kid?

First, I don't get sick.

Second, if I see a son of a b*tch

out there in the freezing rain,

I'd make sure he doesn't die.

I guess she's running late.

She probably forgot something.

Possibly.

You know, Ms. Distas

is my favorite teacher at this school.

- I was really sick last year. My lungs.

- Mm.

- She was always there for me.

- Mm.

My left lung is deflated, you know.

Can you believe that?

Burcu is nice, yeah.

Hey!

Sinan! Why are you out here?

- You must be freezing.

- Oh, right. That's true.

- Where's your

- Here, here. Take my jacket.

Here.

- You asked him to wait here?

- Me? I didn't.

I guess I got it wrong, then. My bad.

I'll return your jacket later.

- All right. Take this, too!

- No need. I'm all good. Thank you.

- What's going on?

- Come on, let's go. We're soaking!

Which part don't you get? He only gave him

the jacket after she showed up.

But he gave it at the end, didn't he?

He's a good person.

You were wrong. I'm out.

Besides, I really don't get

why you did that, Sinan.

- You okay?

- [scoffs]

The guy's anemic.

He'll drop dead any second.

No one would notice if you died, you know?

What happens when you're sick? Your mom's

not here. Who takes care of you?

Why? Do you get sick

to get your mom's attention?

- Sinan, I'll fix you some soup.

- No, I don't want it.

- Why not? You need medicine too, Sinan.

- I said I don't want it.

- Sit down.

- What do you mean, "no"?

- I don't want it!

- But you're sick! I'll make you some soup.

Guys, let's just stop this, okay?

We need to be productive.

Come here. Sit down.

Are you convinced? He almost let him die.

Are you ready to take him down?

No!

We can't play with people's lives

like this.

After all, they made a choice

to be together. Can't you see?

Then let's try again tomorrow.

What?

What are you saying?

[Işık grumbles]

Hey, wait up! Coach!

Yeah, what?

Ms. Distas asked us to wait for her.

- Us? What's this about?

- Uh-huh.

I don't know. She said, "Wait for me.

Don't go anywhere."

You're an even bigger moron

than I thought. Here, put this on.

You'll freeze to death.

- She told us to wait.

- I'll wait. You can go.

- Now you're getting wet.

- I don't care about a little rain.

You're out in a t-shirt in this weather.

Thought you were a little smarter

than that.

[Sinan] You see the difference now?

Good seems bad. Bad seems good.

The greatest treachery of this world.

All those kind acts cover up the filth.

Those you call rude

are the truly good ones,

and that's why the good ones always lose

against the bad ones.

This world is so f*cked up.

He gave you his jacket, just like that.

He just gave it without trying to show off

or impress her.

And he waited out in the rain for nothing.

Well, yeah, you've seen it.

What do you say?

I guess you're right.

He's not right for her.

Not a gentleman like Mr. Altuna.

Here, Sinan.

So, what are we going to do?

Take it, Sinan!

If you ask me, I think Mr. Altuna

is the right person for her.

Now comes the easy part.

We can have some real fun.

Stirring up some trouble. I love it.

- We'll make sure to tear them apart.

- Are we even capable of that?

Maybe he's amazing

and drives her crazy in bed.

If he was really that great,

she wouldn't have fallen

for Mr. Altuna in the first place.

It's obvious she started a relationship

with that guy, and now she's stuck.

It happens sometimes. You get scared

of love and go hide in the corner.

You should just feel it.

Whatever that feeling is.

- You think so?

- I do.

It's not always a bad thing

to lose control.

We couldn't even set up

Distas with Altuna.

How we going to break these two apart?

That's easy.

Breaking is easier than making.

- You're saying we'll break them apart.

- Yeah, we will.

So we're doing it, then?

We are! That's our plan, right?

- Good morning!

- [all] Morning.

Sinan's not here?

Must be napping somewhere.

So what do we do now?

We need a break-up plan

before we take things further.

I think Ms. Distas is just having fun.

- She's got the day off, though.

- Why is that?

[indistinct chatter]

Slow down.

I wish we'd held this engagement

at our place.

Something bigger, fancier.

I didn't want to take the time off, Mom.

Never mind. It's just one day.

[doorbell rings]

- I don't feel good about this.

- Mom, please.

I don't know how you convinced us

to have it here.

- [woman] Oh, look at you!

- Hello.

- I'm so glad you could make it.

- Oh, sweetheart, look how pretty you are!

[indistinct chatter]

[slow music playing]

[man] Do you know

how a marriage should be?

When a man comes home from work

and wants to be left alone,

his woman should do so.

If he comes home and wants attention,

she should accept it and give it to him.

If you come home without money,

she should be comforting.

This is the woman every man needs.

We take the first step.

Well, I wish both of you the best.

[chuckles]

[guests applauding]

PATIENT REGISTRATION

Can I help you?

Where's the ER?

[footsteps approaching]

Where are your parents, honey?

I need their signature

to put you on drip.

- I can sign it.

- [nurse] You can't.

We need their approval

for the drugs in the IV drip.

If they're in the parking lot,

I can go check with them.

I guess I better go and

- [nurse] No, don't get up. I'll look.

- No, I'm fine.

- Please don't get up.

- I'll go get them.

- You have a fever. Where are you going?

- I don't know where they're going.
