"Engineer: But it wasn't Farhad who dug Behistun. Hole Digger: I know. Engineer: Who Then? Hole Digger: It was love. The love of Shirin. Engineer: Bravo! You must know love. Hole Digger: A man without love cannot live."
"Engineer: Hurry up. Get in. Farzad: I can't come now. Engineer: Why? Farzad: I need one more answer for the exam. Engineer: What is it? Farzad: The fourth question. Engineer: You don't know the answer? Farzad: No. Engineer: Why? Farzad: Because I don't. Engineer: What was it? Farzad: What happens to the good and the evil on Judgment day? " Engineer: That's obvious: the good go to Hell, and the evil go to Heaven. Is that right? Farzad: Yes. Engineer: No. the good go to Heaven, and the evil go to Hell. Hurry in and write that, then come back."
