After the revolution, he fled from Iran 0:47:14.264,0:47:18.724 Sara and I met when she came to Iran for the first to get back her father's property and money 0:47:18.997,0:47:20.687 Guess where 0:47:21.388,0:47:22.978 Probably the amusement park 0:47:22.983,0:47:26.263 The amusement park?...no 0:47:26.293,0:47:27.833 We met in the middle of the street when she was arguing with an officer 0:47:27.862,0:47:30.012 nice...wait, are you serious? 0:47:30.024,0:47:35.064 Yes, because I saw that she was the most innocent person being arrested in the street 0:47:35.070,0:47:41.550 and now that we want to marry, my dad won't let us. He says, "It's a sin for my son to marry this person's daughter" 0:47:48.470,0:47:50.760 Do you have any relatives there? 0:47:52.156,0:47:56.156 Yes, my mom and sister have been there for years 0:47:56.608,0:48:01.048 My mom had a problem with my father's job. My dad's entire life was "to fix the country" 0:48:01.222,0:48:06.872 My mom used to tell him "You don't need to fix the country, you should fix your own life first" 0:48:07.310,0:48:13.340 They argued everyday, until one day my dad got up and saw that my mom and sister had left 0:48:13.353,0:48:19.613 My uncle has been there for years, so he was able to take them there and support them 0:48:20.468,0:48:25.858 My mom says, "When I was in Iran and saw your dad, that's when I realized the reason why the country's problems can't get fixed" 0:48:26.018,0:48:31.198 Now that they are there, they sent me a few invitation letters to see maybe I can go too 0:48:31.248,0:48:33.788 Really? Why do they want you so bad over there? 0:48:33.817,0:48:36.017 I don't know. They say I have the brains 0:48:36.049,0:48:39.319 Last year I got the gold metal in mathematics 0:48:39.504,0:48:44.954 I've also done an experiment and wherever I take it here, they make fun of me 0:48:45.026,0:48:48.796 but when I sent it there, they accepted me in a heartbeat 0:48:48.797,0:48:49.497 nice 0:48:49.801,0:48:58.211 I don't even have a single star in 7 skies. As soon as I opened my eyes, my parents were both poor workers 0:48:58.525,0:49:04.775 When my mom died, I went to Japan for two years. I worked there. Not really work, we burned dead bodies 0:49:04.838,0:49:09.318 They paid well there, but it wasn't what I wanted to do. For each body they paid 10 000 yen 0:49:10.246,0:49:15.836 but if while being burned, the body sparked, they gave us another 10 000 yen and said it went to heaven 0:49:16.212,0:49:22.122 The next day, I bought fireworks and put them in the bodies. They eventually found out and they deported me 0:49:22.681,0:49:36.791 I always longed for two things in life: one, a cool, loyal friend which I never had. The second one a nice, red car to take up hill and go skiing 0:49:37.410,0:49:40.010 You really had no one in your life? 0:49:40.100,0:49:49.390 No, not really, but there was a lady in Japan who paid us, but I forgot about her and came back to Iran 0:49:49.535,0:49:57.955 now here there is a girl. I really like her. Everyday I stand outside her university and put flowers for her. A few days ago I put my phone number under her windshield 0:49:58.279,0:50:01.079 Before you hit my dad 0:50:02.273,0:50:05.833 I still haven't heard back from her 0:50:05.976,0:50:10.506 This is my fate brother Amir 0:50:12.495,0:50:16.495 It's probably the hospital 0:50:19.638,0:50:25.198 Hello...yes?

May I ask what is the meaning of this? 0:50:58.902,0:51:00.272 The meaning of what? 0:51:00.318,0:51:05.238 That everyday you come in front of the university and put flowers under my windshield but you don't show yourself 0:51:05.524,0:51:12.704 well, putting flowers is not bad. I thought that if the scent is in your car, you will see that there is somebody who likes you very much 0:51:13.062,0:51:19.382 but the difference between me and other young guys is that my conscience wouldn't allow me to step on your dignity 0:51:19.589,0:51:28.039 anyways, it's possible for a young, timid guy to really like a beautiful and classy women like yourself, right? 0:51:28.039,0:51:32.469 It seems you are not as timid as you say.
