Early Bird (Erkençi Kus)(Part 1)

108. Answering the question

"My patience has boundaries..." Sanem mutters.

"3, 2, 1...Action!"

Can looks from Polen's hand, to Sanem, to the screen, unsure where he should be focusing. He didn't want to be mean, but he didn't want to upset Sanem and Cemil was once again doing a horrible job.

"Cut! Cut! Just - He's throwing up?!"

Can snorts and shakes his head.

"This is so gross," Sanem screws up her face.

"What is he doing?! I'm going to kill him! Look at him! Take him out of my sight!"

Can leans closer to Tahir. "Tahir?" Tahir looks at him. "Maybe we should take a break? Hm? Have some lunch?" he suggests.

Tahir groans and then nods. "Yes. Fine! I don't know how we're eating after that but fine. Lunch!"

Can stands and looks around the pale faces looking at the vomiting Cemil in the corner. "Guys!" he calls loudly. "Guys, uh, we're taking a break! I think we all need it!" The crew and employees all clap and cheer. "12 minutes!" They groan and complain and he laughs. "Fine, an hour! Jeez, it was a joke..."

"Thank you Mr Can!" They cheer again and everyone breaks up to do their own thing, while Cemil is helped off stage, still vomiting and getting even grayer.

Leyla types the last of the budget numbers for the previous year and then looks at her pinging phone.

"They've sent me photos from the set, look."

Emre leans closer and she scrolls through. His own phone dings and he checks it as Leyla smiles at the group photo of Osman, Ayhan and Muzaffer.

'I hoped to see you here today' - Aylin

"It looks like such a wonderful atmosphere," Leyla gushes. "It must be so fun...Mr Emre, I've never been on a set you know?" she says, looking longingly at the photos.

"You want to go?"

"That would be nice."

"Then let's go," Emre shrugs.

"Really?" Leyla asks in surprise.

"Yes. Pack up."

"Are you serious?" she asks again, as he closes his laptop and files.

"Yes Leyla," he chuckles.

"But we're not done with our work?"

Emre looks down at her, having already stood up. "I'm taking my laptop, you can take yours too if you want."

"Uhm, okay," Leyla gets up. "I'll gather everything and meet you at the car?"

"Sure," he nods and leaves the office while Leyla cleans up, smiling widely.

The entire crew and set decided their hour of breaktime would be used to eat, despite still feeling a little queasy.

The spread was amazing and Can, having tasted most of the dishes knew what to expect so he pointed out a favorite or several before he went to join Polen at a table.

Sanem watched Polen as she speared a piece of cutlet into her mouth, daintily cutting her food and taking small bites. How can you taste anything just sampling like that?

"Is it possible to be that gorgeous?" Ayhan asks next to her, also looking over. "And here I am...a blob..."

"If you're judging by beauty alone, then she is very very exquisite," Guliz nods to Sanem's right. "Add to that how successful she is, and kind? She's the full package."
