Leave us alone now.

Yes, Agha sahib.

You know, I heard about your father. Pity! I would have preferred to see him, rather than his spineless son!

What did you think? That I wouldn’t recognize you? You know, I never forget a face.

… Assef! W-what are you doing here?

Me, Amir? I’m in my element. What are you doing here?

Oh, you want to take him away, do you? Afghanistan isn’t good enough for him? But what do you know of our country?! Where were you when the Russians were pissing in our mosques and entering our houses?!

I told you, I’m here for the boy. I’ll pay you for him.

Afghanistan was like a palace filled with garbage. Now we’ve taken it out and brought back law and order.

I know… I’ve seen. Like today at the stadium, or like with the Hazaras at Mazar-i-Sharif. Fine piece of law and order. Now, I want the boy!

If you want him so much, then take him!
