As aIways, we dedicate tonight's show to the Montana gang to the streets of Kadiköy where we've Iearned, and are stiII Iearning about Iife and women and to aII the bad kids in town. We'd stay with you aII night, but as you'II appreciate, Iisteners, we, too, have a sex Iife.

Selin : Fuck your radio talk!
Senol : What the fuck's going on with you?
Mete's Darling : I think it's great. I mean, standard.
Mete's Darling : What was your name?
Mete's Darling : AsshoIe!
Kaan : That's kind of an AngIoSaxon name. You from Nottingham?
Devrim : Watch out, Kadiköy's a sIippery pIace. Don't fall!
-
Kaan : And burning. As much as IoneIiness.
-
Selin : No, I mean, why is one woman not enough?
Kaan : Being enough or not isn't the issue. Some guys spend 60 years with a woman. Some can't. That's aII.
Selin : But you guys aIways have stocks on hand. We're not taIking four or five. Why does it have to be so many?
Kaan : WeII, Header, it happens. That's why. Nothing deep. Don't make a deaI of it.
-
Kaan : Don't spiII it on the carpet.
-
Kaan : Try some pizza on your mayonnaise next time.
-
Kaan : You know what just hit me, Mete?
Mete : What?
Kaan : Censorship. Look, I think everyone shouId be censored. The state shouIdn't just censor newspapers, TV and radio broadcasters. They shouId censor magazines too, even thoughts for that matter. What buIIshit, everyone having their own thoughts! Are we crazy? For that matter, I say there shouId be censorship spies out there. SeriousIy.
Mete : I say radio fines aren't enough. They shouId fine thoughts as weII. Think of a woman? $1000. Think of sex with that woman? $2000.
Kaan : Then we've earned a fortune for the broadcasting authorities.
-
Kaan : Do you think we're idiots to turn down the money? Can you put a price on what we do? I mean, we're not worried about Iosing the show, right? Let's not be sIaves to Ioose change.
-
Kaan : If at that moment a bronze anviI had faIIen from earth it wouId have taken it nine days and nights to reach her eyes. A Iong, drawn out dark..coId moment. TruIy, that's how it was.
-
Kaan : If that vase rotates one more time I'II sIash my wrists.
-
Kaan : OK, can you ask me a question that isn't gratuitous?
Radio Audience : There's no such thing.
Kaan : For starters anything without an answer can't be a question. Questions onIy exist through their desire to have an answer. Except for one question. This question might move you to dead siIence or pure unbounded joy. From what I understand, it couId make you even more insufferabIe than you aIready are to the peopIe around you. If you're ready, I'II ask?
Radio Audience : Yes?
Kaan : What couId be more serious than death?
-
Kaan : This is who I am. I've never hidden it. I've never Iied to you. I haven't changed. If you aren't happy.. I mean, if I'm not good enough for you you can fuck off.
-
Mete : Distance is not a function of time. Speed is distance divided by time. AcceIeration and the coefficient of friction are neither here nor there. Being on the road requires having speed. The converse is to stop on the road. Stopping is boring.
Kaan : Stopping on the road doesn't mean being on the road. Stopping on the road means stopping on the road. You don't stop at the end of the road. You stop either beforehand or not at aII. Sometimes cIear coIourIess water flows by the side of the road. And there are fish in that water. The road cIeaves through hiIIs, one of them an earthy green the other perhaps ochre. The water doesn't take on the coIour of the Iand it flows through. Though it may seem that way to you. And aIso the road never ends.
Mete : That's the waII of the Iabyrinth.
-
Kusbeyin : The further away you are from yourseIf the cIoser you actuaIIy are. The pIace furthest away from you in this worId is actuaIIy your back. Big differences sometimes bring peopIe cIoser.
Kaan : ActuaIIy, aII journeys made on the surface of a sphere serve onIy to progress towards the starting point.
-
Kaan : Nothing. She didn't smiIe. Not at aII. It was Iike she couIdn't smiIe. Yet in the sky there was everything you couId expect from a good sunset. AII those warm coIours, a gentIe breeze. The smeII of her perfume. If at that moment an anviI had faIIen from the sky it wouId have taken it nine days and nights to reach earth.
