& Isaac: I have nothing to do with government affairs, neither here nor in any other country. I’m a businessman who happens to be a Jew, that is all.
Mohsen: It’s not that simple...
& Habibeh: I didn’t want to tell you, because I thought you might get upset with me. But when I listen to him, he makes a lot of sense.
Farnez: What does he say that makes so much sense?
Habibeh: He says, «Why should some people live like kings, and the rest like rats? And why should the wealthy, so crazy for the West and Europe, decide how the whole country should dress, talk, live?» What if we want our mullahs to rule us and not that saint? Morteza told me he’s worshipped in Europe... I know... Saint-Laurent? Or something like that.
Farnez: Yves Saint-Laurent?
Habibeh: Yes, that’s him.
& Morteza: You see, khanoum... you fail to understand. I mean that sincerely. You see, this isn’t just about one man. It’s about a collection of men. Men who turned their back on injustice. Men who profited from a corrupt regime. Men who built their villas and traveled whenever they wished to places the likes of us... didn’t even dare to dream of... Have you ever thought about how we lived? Huh? Why does a country with so much give so little to the poor? You never cared. But that’s okay. You know why? Because God has answered the prayer of the weak. God is on the side of the faithful, not on the sinners. God will forever...
& Isaac: Does anyone... remember a time... when this country was just? Generous?
Vartan Sofoyan: Cyrus the Great.
Isaac: We were all equal. Muslim... Christian... Jew... Didn’t matter. We were a great empire.
Mahdi: Oh, Baba-ji, please. That’s the problem with this country. We somehow think we’re special, because once upon a time we were great. Darius, Cyrus, Persepolis... That was 2,500 years ago. What are we now? Huh? Barbarians.
Isaac: No. Not all of us.
& Isaac: The only thing worse than a criminal is a hypocrite.
