Clips from The Breadwinner

"We'll hold off for a bit. I think business will pick up."
The Breadwinner
"If business picks up, then we won't have to sell it, sure."
The Breadwinner
"But the sky is far and the earth is hard. We will have to sell it soon."
The Breadwinner
"Well, what about a little story before dinner?"
The Breadwinner
"And we'll forget all about dresses for a while."
The Breadwinner
"Maybe Parvana would like to read something for us?"
The Breadwinner
"Not right now, Mama-jan. I'm tired."
The Breadwinner
"She's not a child anymore, she tells me."
The Breadwinner
"So she doesn't like stories."
The Breadwinner
"Don't be in such a hurry to grow up, my sweet girl."
The Breadwinner
"It might not be all that you expect."
The Breadwinner
"We're out of water. You didn't bring enough this morning."
The Breadwinner
"But there's half a bucket by the door."
The Breadwinner
"When I was young enough to fetch water, the buckets were never empty."
The Breadwinner
"- Hey! - Girls, stop it."
The Breadwinner
"Either you go out and get more water after dinner..."
The Breadwinner
"or you can wash Zaki's dirty diapers."
The Breadwinner
"- How are you feeling? - Better."
The Breadwinner
"Now that you're here."
The Breadwinner
"Maybe if you didn't wash your hair so much, we wouldn't run out so quickly."
The Breadwinner
"- Parvana. - You should have some respect."
The Breadwinner
"Why don't you eat, hmm?"
The Breadwinner
"- Things always look better when your belly is full. - Yes, Maudar."
The Breadwinner
"Zaki, Zaki, wait till I pull up your sleeves."
The Breadwinner
"No, Mama-jan."
The Breadwinner
"There. There you go."
The Breadwinner
"Don't eat all the raisins, Parvana. Leave them for Zaki."
The Breadwinner
"Why don't you give him that big raisin on your chin, Soraya?"
The Breadwinner
"Oh, but it's not a raisin."
The Breadwinner
"It's a big, hairy mole."
The Breadwinner
"Parvana, apologize to Soraya."
The Breadwinner
"Parvana?"
The Breadwinner
"He's in there! I saw him!"
The Breadwinner
"- If there are women present... - Baba?"
The Breadwinner
"Cover yourselves now!"
The Breadwinner
"That's the man. An enemy of Islam."
The Breadwinner
"He's got forbidden books, and he's teaching the women with them!"
The Breadwinner
"- Leave us be! - He's done nothing!"
The Breadwinner
"Nurullah Alizai, you must come with us."
The Breadwinner
"Baba!"
The Breadwinner
"- You can't take him! - Baba!"
The Breadwinner
"Baba-jan!"
The Breadwinner
"Where is he being taken?"
The Breadwinner
"To prison."
The Breadwinner
"They'll teach him a good lesson in Pul-e-Charkhi."
The Breadwinner
"Baba!"
The Breadwinner
"Baba!"
The Breadwinner
"Mama-jan? Can I light the lamp?"
The Breadwinner
"Hush, Parvana. You'll wake Zaki."
The Breadwinner
"But if they let Baba go,"
The Breadwinner
"he'll need a light in the window to see home."
The Breadwinner
"How could he come home? He doesn't even have his stick to walk with."
The Breadwinner
"Go back to sleep. It will be all right."
The Breadwinner
"How do you know that, Mama-jan? How do you know?"
The Breadwinner
"Be quiet, Parvana. She has enough to worry about."
The Breadwinner
"Hey! Zaki, stop it."
The Breadwinner
"Get up, Parvana. Stop playing around."
The Breadwinner
"Why? What's going on?"
The Breadwinner
"You and I are going to find Baba."
The Breadwinner
"The boy said he was being taken to Pul-e-Charkhi prison, so that's where we are going."
The Breadwinner
"But we can't go outside without Baba."
The Breadwinner
"Soraya is writing a letter for the prison governor"
The Breadwinner
"to protest Nurullah's arrest and ask for his release."
The Breadwinner
"- At least I can give them that. - Mama-jan, it's not allowed."
The Breadwinner
"We might be all right if we don't draw attention to ourselves."
The Breadwinner
"- But we can't... - Come on, Parvana."
The Breadwinner
"And bring Baba's walking stick. We have to get going."
The Breadwinner
"Mama."
The Breadwinner
"Hey."
The Breadwinner
"Hey, you!"
The Breadwinner
"Salaam. Can you tell me the way to Pul-e-Charkhi?"
The Breadwinner
"Salaam. Uh, it's east, past the river."
The Breadwinner
"- But it's a long way. - Thank you, sir."
The Breadwinner
"Listen. Go through the old town, or you'll be caught."
The Breadwinner
"Why are you out here by yourself?"
The Breadwinner
"- Where is your husband? - I have no choice."
The Breadwinner
"It's not permitted to be out here without your husband or your brother."
The Breadwinner
"- I'm sorry. I know. - Do you understand?"
The Breadwinner
"- I am bringing a letter protesting my husband's arrest... - Just go home."
The Breadwinner
"- No! - What do you mean, "no"?"
The Breadwinner
"This is Nurullah Alizai, my husband."
The Breadwinner
"- He was arrested last night with no charges laid against him. - Photographs are forbidden!"
The Breadwinner
"- I have no one at home... - What are you doing, showing me a photograph?"
The Breadwinner
"- Out here by yourself. Go home! - There is no one in my house except for children."
The Breadwinner
"You have no business out here. Do you understand? Go home. Immediately."
The Breadwinner
"You're looking for trouble now!"
The Breadwinner
"You are an insult to your husband, to your race!"
The Breadwinner
"I need to find out what happened to him!"
The Breadwinner
"Shut up!"
The Breadwinner
"Going to the prison will change nothing."
The Breadwinner
"If you make trouble like this,"
The Breadwinner
"your husband will be punished severely for your insolence."
The Breadwinner
"And if I find you out here again by yourself, I will arrest you."
The Breadwinner
"Now go."
The Breadwinner
"Mama-jan?"
The Breadwinner
"Take me home."
The Breadwinner
"- More! - Shh."
The Breadwinner
"Go get water, Parvana. We have none left."
The Breadwinner
"Come on."
The Breadwinner
"Get out!"
The Breadwinner
"What are you up to?"
The Breadwinner
"Get out of here. They'll see you!"
The Breadwinner
"Hey, stop!"
The Breadwinner
"Stop when I tell you!"
The Breadwinner
"Through here!"
The Breadwinner
"Stop!"
The Breadwinner
"Where did that boy go?"
The Breadwinner
"Did you see? Did you see?"
The Breadwinner
"- Hey, you! Girl! - Hey!"
The Breadwinner
"- Come on! - Forget about her!"
The Breadwinner
"Parvana, this is only half a bucket."
The Breadwinner
"Couldn't you fill them up all the way?"
The Breadwinner
"Zaki, shh. Don't wake her."
The Breadwinner
"- Hush, Zaki. - Mama-jan!"
The Breadwinner
"- Shh. - Sooth him, Parvana."
The Breadwinner
"Mama-jan."
The Breadwinner
"Tell him a story."
The Breadwinner
"Mama..."
The Breadwinner
"One time in the distant past,"
The Breadwinner
"there was a little village at the foot of the Hindu Kush mountains."
