Interview with the Flower Guys

The video I told you about the other day, from when we went flower shopping:



Translation of the conversation:

M: I'm taking a video.

Flower guy 1: (unintelligible)
M: Please smile.
Flower guy 2: Don't give it to the police station.
Flower guy 1: We're already infamous.
M: Don't worry about the police, it will be used for reporting.
Another flower guy: Yes, sir! Yes, sir! Please come in! Please come in!
M: What's your name, brother?
Flower guy 2: Kashif
M: Are you making a sehra? (Veil of flowers for bride or groom)
Flower guy 2: Yes. Take some of my dad.
Flower Dad: No, no, no.
M: Salaamu Alaikum (Hello) How long have you been working in this store?
Flower Dad: Since I was born.
M: How many years? Sixty years?
