How Cemal opens the conversation

Makası bir an durdurur, aynadan sana göz kırpar, sesini alçaltır.

Reis, sana bir şey anlatacağım ama aramızda kalsın, tamam mı? etrafına bakar Karşıki fırıncı var ya...

Ways you could reply

Ne oldu, anlat! Cidden mi? Ben de sana bir şey anlatayım.

First day at the barber

Your first visit to Cemal's barbershop. Take the chair, say how you want your hair, accept the inevitable tea, and survive the running commentary.

Just a bit more

The haircut is "done" but Cemal cannot stop perfecting it, and the talk turns bigger: his twenty-two years, his dreams, why he really loves this chair. Get him to finish, and maybe hear his secret.
