Daughter: Ah, there's nothing like Iranian tea!
Mom: Oh yes, especially with a cigarette. Do you want one?
Daughter: Mom!
Mom: What? You know the proverb:"Prosperity consists of two things: tea after a meal, and a cigarette after tea."

p.159 딸의 결혼 승낙을 하는 장면에서 미래의 사위에게 하는 아버지의 말
As your future father-in-law, I'm taking the liberty of asking you three things.
First, you are surely aware that in this country a woman's "Right to divorce" is not guaranteed. She only has it if her husband allows this option during the signing of the marriage certificate. My daughter must enjoy this right.
Second: My wife and I have raised our daughter with complete freedom. If she spends her whole life in Iran, she'll wither. I'm therefore asking the both of you to leave to continue your studies in Europe after your diploma. You will have my financial support.
Third: Live together as long as you feel truly happy. Life is too short to be lived badly.
