- PifiasAt the U. S. Embassy in Ankara, two Marine Security Guards in Service Uniforms are shown standing outside an entrance to the compound. In reality, they would be posted within the compound walls, in Utility Uniforms, for their safety and the safety of the American staff inside the Embassy. Turkish security personnel, employed by the Embassy, would handle security outside the walls, under the supervision and direction of the Marine Security Guards and the Regional Security Officer, a State Department senior Embassy official.

Moody: I don't know how to say this to you. We're not going back. We're staying here.
Betty Mahmoody: [pauses] What do you mean? How long?
Moody: I want to get a job here in a hospital.
Betty Mahmoody: What?
Moody: I want us... to live in Iran.
Betty Mahmoody: [softly] No... No...
Moody: There's nothing for me in America.
Betty Mahmoody: No... What? Are you crazy? We're Americans. Your daughter's an American! Moody, honey, you're upset about your job. I understand that. We're going to go back today and we're going to fix it.
Moody: I want Mahtob to grow up here.
Betty Mahmoody: [increasingly angry] No!
Moody: I think she should become a Muslim!
Betty Mahmoody: [screams] No! No!
[pauses]
Betty Mahmoody: You lied to me. You lied to me! You held the Koran and you swore to me that nothing was going happen. You were planning this all the time. You lied to me!
Then when the evil Ayatollah finally died and went to hell where he is dancing with Hitler things started to change for the better, But then Hitler 3 took over Iran and it's sliding backwards.
There's a reason everyone with any brain wants to get out of there.
The reason there were so few doctors was every educated person left that country.
And if Mahtob had stayed there she would have had female circumcision by age 7 and married by age 10.
The movie told Betty's side of the story.
Part of me wants to believe that her husband was as trapped as she was at least at first. Knowing if they tried to leave they would all be killed. Because killing is an Iranian hobby during that time especially.
But no father who loves their daughter would ever subject them to that culture.
In most of the middle east women have no rights. Rape is legal for the rapist but the victim gets stoned.
Girls aren't educated or if they are they are taught to be good wives, submit to being raped by their husbands and that they are not worthy.
