[0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fysQhArv6Oh5/en/a-disagreement-with-reza-about-yasmin-and-iranian-cultural-norms?t=36) I said, “Sir, at the end of the day, everyone around you is Iranian.”

[0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fysQhArv6Oh5/en/a-disagreement-with-reza-about-yasmin-and-iranian-cultural-norms?t=48) He said, “I'm a freedom lover.” “It doesn't matter to me.”

[0:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fysQhArv6Oh5/en/a-disagreement-with-reza-about-yasmin-and-iranian-cultural-norms?t=53) I said, “Before that, I used to come by and watch these VHS movies of Fardin, Behrouz Vossoughi, Mr. Malek Motiee, and the others.”
