Persian (Farsi) term or phrase: Khode rahmatesh kone
See https://www.dropbox.com/s/qqwz2w88w8bvzhl/Khode rahmatesh ko... and around the 20:27 mark here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS61WjizAQs.

This is from the Iranian film "اخراجی ها دو". For context, a stewardess is walking down the aisles of a plane offering food/candy to the passengers. There is a rude and boisterous man who is flirting with the stewardess. When the stewardess offers the food/candy to a woman sitting next to the rude man, she says "Khode rahmatesh kone, man fotash ham miferestam." I assume this saying is some sort of expression of sympathy from the woman to the stewardess for having to deal with the rude man. However, I may have misheard the line or misunderstood the context in the scene.

Khode rahmatesh kone = "God forgive his sins"/"May God have mercy on him"/"God bless him"?

Thanks.

It is "Khoda" not "Khode"
"Khoda" = "God"
"Khode" = self
