This is a scene from the Film The Yacoubian Building. The scene runs from about 01:21:35 to 01:22:15
[Mrs. Christine chases after Pasha (Zaki) after he walks out of his meeting with Mr. Fekri.]
She says to Pasha, “Why are you letting yourself get depressed?”
With a surprised look on his face, Pasha mutters, “Why did I never marry?”
[Pasha begins to look off into the distance and walk down the alley way with Mrs. Christine by his side.]
He begins saying to preach to her saying, “I'd have had some kids. They'd have changed my life. Sure, you were always there for me. But I was stupid. I didn't marry you because I was afraid I'd betray you. I'm too easily tempted. You'd have ended up hating me and I couldn't have stood that.
Mrs. Christine mutters to Pasha, “I would have forgiven you.”
Pasha responds by saying, “I don't think so. My problem is that I didn't see the important things in front of me. Or I only saw them once it was too late.”
