- Amaneh: Ayoub worked hard for two months, but he wasn't able to earn enough for Madi's operation. He had to spend everything on us. After the fight in which he broke his arm, our uncle offered Ayoub a mule, so that they could work together.

- Amaneh: There are no jobs here, even if you have a mule.

- Amaneh: Oh God. Help Madi! Oh God. Make him better!

- Ayoub: In the truck, they said that several smugglers had been blown up by mines. Our village is on the border. That's who many villagers had died. My dad's there at the moment. I'm worried about him.
