Perhaps you did not come
here to live like a gypsy.

:18:10
But I did not come here
to work like an Arab...

:18:13
to be treated like an Arab.
:18:15
For four years we have lived
a life we could not afford

:18:18
and spent almost everything to
marry Soraya with a good family.

:18:22
This apartment alone has
cost us over $140,000 in rent.

:18:27
And what of Esmail's
university education?

:18:30
Soon we will have nothing.
:18:33
And then you will see what it is like
to walk in the shoes of the gypsies.

:18:42
So...
:18:47
tomorrow, you will begin packing,
and there's no more to discuss.

:18:51
Do not open your lips.
:19:07
$500? They evicted you
from your house for that?

:19:11
You got it.
:19:13
Um, are you staying with friends?
:19:16
Yeah, I'm with a friend.
:19:20
- How much is this gonna cost me?
- It's on a sliding scale.

:19:26
Um, how come you didn't do
something about this earlier?

:19:29
I did.
:19:30
I went to the courthouse, months ago,
:19:33
and I signed a statement saying
that I never owed a business tax

:19:37
because I never owned a business.
:19:41
I even had it certified.
:19:43
And what about the follow-up mail?
:19:46
I didn't open it.
:19:55
It's very important to me that
I get my house back by the 18th.

:19:59
I'm expecting company.
