  • Simin: He
  • [Nader's Father]
  • Simin: doesn't even know who you are.
  • Nader: He does not know me but I know that he is my father.
  • Hodjat: Why do you think we beat our wives and children like animals?
  • Hodjat: I swear on this Qur'an, we're humans just like you.
  • Hodjat: You know, my problem is that I can't speak like them. I just lose my control soon.
  • Termeh: If you knew she was pregnant, why did you hit her?
  • Nader: Look, I did know she was pregnant, but in that moment I didn't, I had forgotten. This matter was not on my mind at all.
  • Termeh: Well... well go tell these exact things to them
  • [to the Interrogator]
  • Termeh: .
  • Nader: My dear, the Law doesn't understand such things. It says either you knew or you didn't... Look at me! If you want me to go and tell them I will do this right off.
  • Termeh: ...
  • Termeh: Didn't you say it's not serious?
  • Nader: It got serious.
  • Nader: I went there 'cause I have a sense of humanity.
  • Hodjat: Where was your sense of humanity when you were hitting her ?
  • Nader: Don't you ever think why you wanna leave this country? 'Cause every time you face a trouble, you give in rather than confront it.
  • Simin: Sorry, it hasn't been a week since I left, and look what happened!
  • Simin: Your daughter's future isn't important to you?
  • Judge: There are a lot of children who live in this country. You say none of them have a future?
  • Simin: I prefer my child doesn't grow up in this situation. I have the right as a mother.
  • Judge: Which situation?
  • [Simin doesn't reply to him...]
  • Nader's Father: Simin, where are you going?
  • Hodjat: [to Nader] Shame on you! You call yourself a man?
