Farhad Ghaemian: Ghafouri

Quotes 

• Mr. Ghafouri : You have to make the decision.

  A'la : I can't. That's why I'm here.

  Mr. Ghafouri : Does his sister love you ?

  A'la : A lot.

  Mr. Ghafouri : Can you forget her ?

  A'la : No.

  Mr. Ghafouri : Marry her then.

  A'la : What about Akbar then ?

  Mr. Ghafouri : Do you know why Akbar killed that girl ?

  A'la : He loved her. How can you kill someone you love ?

  Mr. Ghafouri : He didn't want for someone else to have her. What would you do if you were in Akbar's shoe ? Would you have killed the girl as well ?

  A'la : I'd have forgotten her.

  Mr. Ghafouri : So you can forget someone you love. Right ? You can forget Akbar's sister too, if that's possible.

  A'la : No, it's not.

  Mr. Ghafouri : Remember Shahin ?

  A'la : Yeah.

  Mr. Ghafouri : Remember why he had committed murder? They didn't have the money to pay for her mother's debts... So they had to kill the guy.

  A'la : Yeah.

  Mr. Ghafouri : Shahin didn't have a father. He loved his mother. He didn't want her mother to go to prison for her heavy debt. He couldn't bear it. He killed the man in order not to lose his mother. Do you think he did the right thing ?

  A'la : No.

  Mr. Ghafouri : What would you do ? Would you have killed the guy or have forgotten your mother ?

  A'la : I'd have forgotten my mother.

  Mr. Ghafouri : So it is possible to forget someone you love.

  A'la : No it's not. I can't.

  Mr. Ghafouri : It's easy to tell others to forget. The judges who gave death sentences to Akbar and Shahin and others... They too thought the same.

  A'la : What should I do Mr. Ghafouri?

  Mr. Ghafouri : I would have forgotten about Akbar's sister if I were you. But I may fall in love some day and won't be able to forget. Even if it's at the price of someone's death.
