Hajiagha: Oh I know watercolor. I should show you my place.
Roya: wow, wait a minute. I am not that kind of a girl.
Hajiagha: what kind? We’re just talking. If you didn’t want to talk why did you come here?

Hajiagha: Nothing, they don’t like some of my cartoons.
Roya: Can you draw my caricature?
Hajiagha: Yes if you don’t kick me in the shins!
Roya: Ok take it easy. Let’s start over. So are you a decent man or you just want to play around? Like your friend who is a Don Juan?
Hajiagha: No I am not a Don Juan. I am a manly man. So do you want to give me your phone number or email before our friends gets back? Phone may be better. I am still learning English, you know with being Architect in Iran and Businessman here. If I use email, I’ll talk about Canada non-stop and you don’t want that. Sucks Canada!
