If you use the telephone,
I’ll take it away from you!
I want to go out!
You aren’t allowed out in the evening.
I want to watch a film!
Only until ten o’clock!
I don’t want to go to school tomorrow!
Then we’ll throw you out!
Can I sleep at a friend’s place tomorrow?
No, tomorrow you have to go to school!
Can I go back to Iran?
No, that’s not legal.
Can I die?
You’re crazy. No, you have no right to do that.
Can I live?
That’s a difficult question.
