Sample dialogue
I did it all to preserve religion and the system… I’ll sacrifice everything I have to preserve the system… Just as I sacrificed my leg in Syria for the goals of the regime. Because the imam said that preserving the regime is a greater obligation than the life of the Supreme Guide. Now, you want the children you smack to write the al-Baqarah surah for you? For a few coins of your pittance that was delayed a few days, they should ruin everything and offer the country to the enemy to endanger the security of the regime? I don’t know who you are, or what you’re saying… But I have nothing to do with the law or the government… For me, the Master and the regime are all that matter. If you claim I did those things, then they were necessary. There’s no red line when it comes to preserving the regim e. If it was your right, fine, if not God Himself will reward you.

scene 32 — EXT. TEHRAN - STREETS OUT OF THE CITY - NIGHTWhy are you doing this to me… For God’s sake, I have a wife and children… Tell me! Why?
scene 32 — EXT. TEHRAN - STREETS OUT OF THE CITY - NIGHTIn the name of God, I…
scene 32 — EXT. TEHRAN - STREETS OUT OF THE CITY - NIGHTI was just trying to make a living too… They imposed that task on me like a religious duty… At first, I really suffered when I hurt you… but, little by little, it became normal for me. When you refused to confess, I thought you were making fun of me. Like when I was little, others made fun of me and hit me… People always told me how useless I was… or they’d say, “Are you that stupid?” That’s when I began to hate myself… I started to hurt myself physically… You can find the traces on my body… Now, after what I’ve done… I don’t even recognize who I am anymore… I lost my soul in that room and the things that I did still haunt me… They appear before my eyes all the time… For the love of God, leave me alone… Don’t remind me of anything… I’m sorry… I’m sorry.
