when talking about the job he might get (that job about the creche).. he mentioned 2 billion lira (at least my uk copy... that is way too too too expensive even for uk standards.. 2 billion lira is a fortune. that is about 727212000.00 british pounds.. sure that can not be the price for a van o bus in Turkey. sure the subtitles are not right. can someone who knows what is exactly said in the film please tell me what is the exact amount spoken in the film. i got the feeling this film is not translated properly from the beginning to the end.

i think he mentioned 5 billion lira. Before 2005 1 Pound was nearly 3 Million Turkish Lira. In late December 2003, the Grand National Assembly of Turkey passed a law that allowed for redenomination by the removal of six zeros from the Turkish lira, and the creation of a new currency. It was introduced on 1 January 2005, replacing the previous Turkish lira (which remained valid in circulation until the end of 2005) at a rate of 1 second Turkish lira (ISO 4217 code "TRY") = 1,000,000 first Turkish lira (ISO 4217 code "TRL").
