Alper : Ada, I've been through a lot. I've wasted a lot of things. Myself, life, everything. I won't get improved. I'm living with a virus in my veins. I don't want to be a part of anybody's life. And i don't want anybody to be a part of my life. This is me. This is who i was, this is who i'm going to be. There is no reason for this, so don't look for any. I wish there was, I wish I knew that reason and could change it. But I want you to know this: You were the most beautiful thing in my life. Do not forget that.

Ada : Will you look at me?
Alper : I am.
Ada : No. Look properly. Feel my hand... Feel that I'm touching you.
Ada : Right on your forehead are the lines of my hand...
Ada : Can you feel them? Open your eyes... Look at me. What can you see?
Alper : You.
Ada : Yes... But you ought to see a load of things along with me.
Alper : How do you mean?
Ada : My face should change. It should become everything you love... Otherwise it's a no-no...
Ada : Keep looking... I should be more than just me now... When you look at me it's like you should capture a moment from your own life.
Ada : There should be a story... That moment, I should be everyone you love... And everything...
Ada : Hold my hand. Can you tell which is your hand now? They should become mixed up.
Ada : You should mix them up. I should become you, and you me... You should get confused...
Ada : As though you re making love to yourself...
Alper : - Ada... This is so beautiful...
Ada : - Yes...
Alper : Ada... My love...
Ada : Shhh...
Alper : Ada... I love you...
Ada : I know.
Alper : Ada... Ada...

Alper : Right after we split up I felt light as a bird... I thought I'd done both you and me a favour... Until the smallest thing messed me up completely... That day, a miniscule hairclip of yours laughed at me. It was that morning that I realised I'd lost you... and so many other things. You'd never be there again... I'd never have this with anyone else... Life kept laughing at me. I saw similar faces to yours... felt similar smells... heard similar voices. Or I felt so. I don't know. You know what? That tiny hairclip you lost one day... but never knew where... It's still in my pocket.

Alper : Ada... I want to break up.
Ada : I'm thinking why I'm not in the slightest bit surprised. Huh? I knew actually. I mean, I tried not to scare you but I imagine it was a waste of time. But why do people cry so much over things they already know. Right? Well, OK. I won't cry. Why did you run after me then so persistently? Huh? Why? You knew it wouldn't work, you knew you couldn't do it. So why?

Ada : You have a face with a story.
Alper : How do you mean?.
Ada : You almost have no forehead. It's like your hair couldn't wait and grow in a big rush... So you always seem to be running... Your eyes are completely the opposite. They tell you to stop for a bit... To walk one step at a time... And they really look a lot... I mean, how can I put it?. They look really deeply. And you know that. Which is why you can't look at anyone for a long time. Your beard, it's like honey... And it's kind of in-between the two. It's like, Hey, don't be so serious. We're having a good time here. Plus you have such a mature and well-structured face... it's like you were never a child. You were never a child, so you've always stayed a child...
Alper : What's the story called?
Ada : I don't know. Something blue or green... Blue Frenzy...
Alper : Drop the frenzy. Just stick to the blue.

Alper : I know people from the way they eat. You, for example, are a one-by-one kind of person. You like living life slowly, serenely and without hurrying.
