- Grandmother: Will you promise to be back by noon?
- Hava: I promise!
- Grandmother: God won't forgive you if you lie. Don't be late.
- Osmann: Ahoo, why have you become rebellious? Have you had too much sun? Get off that! What you're riding is not a bicycle. It's devil's work! Get off that bike, dear. You really shouldn't be riding it.
- Grandmother: You mustn't play with Hasan or any boy. You're all grown up now. You have to cover up your hair from now on.
- Hava: If I was born at noon, I'm not a woman yet!
- Grandmother: But it is noon.
- Hava: No, it's still morning. Let me play with Hasan until noon. Please, Gran. Will you let me?
- Grandmother: Go and check the time first. Make sure it isn't noon yet.
- Grandmother: Hava, come on down. Come on down. You're a woman now. You can't go on the roof. You can't play with boys any longer.
- Hoora: My memory is not what it used to be. I even forgot to feed the rooster before leaving home. I hope it doesn't die.
- Hoora: How come this teapot is so - naked? It has no shame. It has no shame!
- Young Boy: It's not my fault.
- Hoora: After searching the entire market, you came up with a naked pot? It's completely transparent.
- Young Boy: They didn't have any other type.
- Hoora: I would be ashamed to use it. Let's take it back. Put it back in its box.
- Mother: What did I buy all this stuff for? I wish I had a son like you. You're very sweet. White and beautiful. Will you let me adopt you?
- Other Young Boy: I already have a mom and dad.
- Mother: But I have so many things now. Won't you reconsider?
- Other Young Boy: Can't you choose one of the black kids?
- Mother: But you're prettier. You have light hair and white skin. You're the one I want.
