English Translation of "Divide Up the Moon"

Lina Abu al-Hayja: just want to understand one thing. I've wanted you to explain this to me for a long time, and you won't explain it to me.

Muhammad Abu al-Hayja: What?

Lina: Isn't this the moon? Why is there writing on it, not like the real moon that we see in the sky?

Muhammad: Here they've divided it, section by section. This area belongs to someone, this area to another, they've divided it.

Lina: Ah! I get it. So just for example, we live here, right?

Muhammad: For example, yes.

Lina: Now I get it. It's divided so if someone wants to buy land they can choose it, and you chose and forgot.

Muhammad: No, I didn't forget. It's written right here.

Lina: No, I mean here on this sphere.

Muhammad: It's somewhere around here.

Lina: Look how big our village is!

Muhammad: 500 dunam, 500 dunam…

Lina: All for me?
