• Young Boy : Tell me exactly what you need, madam. Then I'll take you to the right place.

  Hoora : Household goods, you know. Household goods. Top priority is a fridge, which I've never had. All my life I wanted cold water. Now which one was it? Ah, this one was the fridge. Let's buy that first.

• 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.

• Young Boy : What's next on your shopping list?

  Hoora : Ironing board, bath tub, samovar, bedroom lamp shade.

  Young Boy : Who are you buying all this for?

  Hoora : For myself. Anything I never had, I will buy for myself now. I brought all this money to buy what ever I wish.

• Hoora : Don't leave anything behind.

• Hoora : I have to leave now.

  Young Woman : But you promised us tea.

  Hoora : It was not destined.

• Hoora : My own pot is better. It's full of memories of that black man. If that lousy bastard had married me, I would have a son like you. You remind me of him. Since I have everything now, will you become my son?

  Young Boy : Thanks, but I have a mother.

  Hoora : That's a pity.
