As -salamu alaykum.

Hello?

It's going to be fine.

Well, it's lonesome in this old town.

Everybody puts me down.

I'm a face without a name.

Just walking in the rain, going back to Houston,

Houston, Houston.

I haven't eaten in about...

I'm so hungry when I walk, I squeak.

Nobody calls me friend.

It's sad to see the men going back to Houston.

Houston, Houston.

Houston. Houston.

Going back to Houston.

Houston.

Houston.

Mom, and you look so tired. Are you okay?

I need to lay down for a second.

Lift your head.

I'm so sorry.

I ruined everything.

I saw him using the olive oil and I just couldn't help myself.

Yes, you could have.

I screwed up. You did?

I know. That's why I'm apologizing.

What do you want? A trophy?

You screwed up big time, like really big.

Size of an elephant screwed up.

I'll make it up to you, Mama.

I'll find us a new business, I promise.

Please, trust more and do less.

Not everything is about you.

Just know how much the business meant to everyone.

I spoke to Linda at the antique shop.

I'll be her lamp specialist.

You want to do that?

Yeah. I can do a lot of things I don't want, like everyone else.

Maybe I'll call Abud, get my job at Houston Mobile again.

You're it.

You know, I was thinking, remember when we used to have those big Thanksgiving

gatherings?

Maybe we could do it again.

No, no, no, I don't think so. I'm too tired.

Mom, you don't have to lift a finger. I'll do everything. I'll get the turkey,

I'll make the sides, I'll invite everyone. Yeah, baby, we don't have

Maybe we could do it at the farm.

We'll send off.

Yeah, Lizzie.

Ice?

This is not about the video that I'm in, is it?

What video?

You haven't seen it?

What video?

You don't know TikTok?

Everybody else has seen it. I gotta get better at controlling my emotions. This

is really bad. Well, well, well, look who it is, Mohammed Nazar.

How are you, Mo? Not so well, I see.

It's not what you think it is, Mo, Dad.

So you're telling me you're not in this ICE office with an ankle bracelet

because you were deported?

Okay, maybe it is what you think it is.

Well, maybe you shouldn't have fired your proud Palestinian lawyer and hired

this, um...

Lizzie Horowitz. No offense yet, offense, Lizzie. Ah, well, it's always a

pleasure to see you, Moe, Dad, and I really appreciate your concern for my

client. We are just dealing with some unfortunate consequences from Moe's

accidental visit to Mexico.

Everything is just fine.

Mexico, wow, Muhammad.

Acapulco. El fiesta, I see.

Why don't you take your maracas and leave me alone, okay? Because I'm

going to never see you again, most likely. You're going to be okay.

He's fine.

Oh, look, they're calling my favorite, Muhammad.

That's still you, Mo.

Best of luck, Habibi. Love you.

Salaam to the fam.

Agent Malone, happy tea day. Same to you, Mo, Dad.

Give my best to Amir. Of course, will do. Bye.

All right, you too. Come on, Amir.

So,

unfortunately...

We're going to have to make a little change.

What kind of change?

It's in regards to your client's personal tracking device.

Okay. It seems that this particular model has caused some electrocution

but it's only for a minority of our customers.

I'm sorry, did you say electrocution? You said customers?

Yeah. So they're doing the whole recall thing, so we're going to have to settle

for conditional check -ins every three months.

That's terrible. Your customers must be so pissed.

Yeah, I mean, honestly, I don't really see what the big deal is, because I bet

you... It was like static electricity, you know, like socks on the carpet kind

of thing, or like the bug zappers.

But, you know, people got sensitive ankles.

How are you allowed to work here?

I mean, I don't get it either. It's like the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, and

here we are.

That's not what I meant.

Unbelievable. Ah, be careful.

Oh, my God.

Is this from the electrocution?

I don't know what that is.

What?

All right, I'm going to ship this to El Salvador. Apparently, that's where they

fix these things.

If I were you, I would put some kind of sporn on that or something, take care of

it. You don't want to get that affected. I'll be back with your paperwork.

Thanks for the tip.

No problem. That's great.

Are you all right?

I did it to myself. I walked for like 30 miles. I was trying to make him feel

bad. The guy doesn't feel bad at all. Why are you talking to me? And I thought

would feel better, but I don't.

I still feel like shit.

Well, you've been through a lot, Mo. You just got to be gentle with yourself, be

gentle with that. Maybe put some of your mom's olive oil on it. That's a good

idea.

What video?

Hey.

Oh, hi.

I was just leaving.

No, no, no. Don't go.

It's so good to see you.

I'm sorry.

I mean it. Yeah, it's okay. Guy and I already broke up, so whatever. Oh, broke

up? Is it because of the thing at the restaurant? Look, the thing got blown

of proportion.

Well, not everything is about to, okay?

Then why?

Look, I really don't want to talk about it. I got to go. Could you just...

What's going on with you? You're acting funny. Are you okay? Sorry for the

delay. I keep telling them to put the keys in the drawer, but they don't

to me. They just put the keys anywhere they want to put them. Hey, my man, do

you mind? Bro, it is not my fault they locked this shit up. I don't want to be

in your business like that. This shit is $5. It should be out here with all the

other $5 stuff. It's not that serious. People already got enough stuff going

You don't need me to unlock the P -sticks. These don't even cost that

is like less than $100. I don't know why this is locked up. This is not locked

up. What the hell are you talking... about man what pregnancy test do you

um uh

hey you gotta pay for that cream

pay for that see that's the shit they should be locking up he's not ready for

fatherhood out here stealing and shit

I just put the timer.

Okay.

I gotta ask.

What happened between you guys?

I mean, you and Guy.

It just went a different thing. It was... I don't know. It was really weird

me to be with someone who didn't believe in God, who didn't want children.

Yeah, well, you missed health class.

I forgot how that works.

Let's face it. It was a rebound.

Yeah, great rebound.

Those ocean eyes, though. Oh, could you stop bringing... I'm so sick of it right

now. Ocean eyes.

Deep blue, beautiful.

The ocean is not that nice.

Yeah, sharks, killer whales.

Anyway, you're not that innocent either. What about that blonde you took to the

rodeo? Oh, Austin? Yeah. It didn't work out. It was not good. Hamid set us up,

and that's a disaster.

Hamid? Yeah.

Hamid is a dating service?

No, it does not work out.

I'll tell you his name one more time. He might pop out of the bushes with a

fucking shotgun. You think I'm joking.

Sorry about that. I'm sorry about that too. Yeah, I think I was jealous.

I'm pretty sure you were jealous.

Yeah, you were too.

I was a little jealous, but then I wasn't jealous at all after I saw how

terrible his food was. I was okay with it. The barbecue was shit.

Oh.

So what are you going to do?

If you know, you know.

I don't know.

What can I do?

Whatever choice I make, I just keep hearing my grandma's voice in my head.

And they have the kid in one arm in the pinche auto shop.

But this is just not how I pictured it.

How did you picture it?

All with you.

Shit.

No That's good news So relieved

Where did you get those headphones, Samir?

Oh, Nadia bought them for me. Her friend thinks that they can help me when I'm

feeling overstimulated by blocking the noise.

You like Nadia's friend?

Yeah.

Mama, how come you never told me?

Habib, all I ever done...

Is love you to the best I can.

If I thought that sending you to therapy would have made your life easier, I

would have done it, Mama.

And sorry if I made the wrong decision.

But, Habibi, I thought if you go, you would feel that there is something wrong

with you. There's nothing wrong with me. Of course, that's what I said. There is

nothing wrong with you. No, that's what the therapist said.

Oh, so the therapist said what I said?

But, Mama, what is the problem?

I don't know.

Habibi, you think this therapy will help? Is it really what you want?

Yeah. Okay.

Nadia's pain?

Yeah. Good.

Show me what's in your book.

Do you want to see it? Yes, please.

My little artist.

Assalamu alaikum. Wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Masha 'Allah,

ya mama. When did you make all that?

I started 24 days ago.

Look, look what your brother did.

What is this?

Been tracing our family history in Philistine.

Maps, photos, documents.

You know, getting ready for the trip that Mama and I are about to make.

That's incredible.

Thank you.

It's a shame you can't come, Hamoudi, considering you were deported.

I mean, I wish that you were coming with us, Hamoudi.

Me too.

It's okay.

I don't get to say this often enough, but I'm so blessed to have you as my

brother.

I'm really sorry about the business.

Sorry, did you say something?

This is amazing.

Hacking cheese up in the oven, grandma finished cooking.

Thanksgiving round the corner, need banana pudding.

Brought you home to mama, even though you said I shouldn't. Might not make the

Christmas, but I'm hoping and I'm pushing for a better day. A good day in

making, but you might say I couldn't. I can't help myself.

Wife waking on the real.

How do you always find the shit?

I don't know. It's everywhere.

I'm really glad you keep it G. That shit is hard to find. Oh, happy

Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving, baby.

Hi, baby.

What's going on? What's up, baby? Thank you.

Hi, baby.

The table's over there. It's all set. Okay.

Here you go, Habibi.

All right, catch it for him. There we go. That was nice.

Oh, damn it.

Let's see a one -two. No problem, bro. One hand while I'm looking at you. Oh,

wow.

That'd be crazy.

Hey, hi, Dallas. Hey. How y 'all doing? Hey, Dallas. What are you doing with a

shotgun?

We're skeet shooting.

We're not going to skeet shoot on Thanksgiving. Put it up, brother. The

here. Put it up. I told you I was not going to let me do this.

Hey, don't hug my wife, huh? All right. All right. Fist bump? A little fist

bump? How you doing? Okay. All right. You want to have one, Samir?

Okay. Shoot on it, buddy.

You invited me to a Thanksgiving?

Yeah, yeah. I'll explain later.

Hola.

Hola. How are you? Well, happy Thanksgiving.

Tamalitos. Tamalitos. You made tamales? I did.

Took me all morning.

I don't know.

My table's right over there.

Mama.

So mad at me?

But you

overstepped me when you took Samir to the therapist behind my back.

Okay. I concede.

I should have told you first.

It's okay. I understand.

What now?

The Israelis destroyed another school in Yatta.

Mama, you're going to kill yourself watching the news 24 -7.

Mama, what do you want me to watch? That Baker show you always talk about?

It's wholesome, uplifting, and sometimes that's helpful.

I mean, we're allowed to watch things we enjoy. We're allowed to do things we

enjoy, aren't we? Yeah, Mama, how can I watch anything when there is kids

watching their homes, their schools being destroyed in Yatta?

I know,

and it's horrible, and it's killing me too, but how is us stressing out about

going to help them?

I mean, we owe it to them to live, too. It's on us to pass who we are to our

kids, to Osama's kids, inshallah.

This is how they're not going to erase us, no matter how hard they try.

We're more than a pain and suffering mom.

You wouldn't know that watching this news.

Tell me, tell me about this bakery show so I can make you new recipes next

Thanksgiving. Tell me.

It's called the Great British... British?

Well,

I don't know y 'all, but I'm glad to have you.

Thank you, baby.

Grab one of these for me. Oh, my God. I got so many cravings. I'm glad I dodged

that bullet. And this is how you eat hummus, habibi. Thank you, Zeta.

I'm going to continue seeing the therapist.

That's great.

Good.

No, no, no.

I don't think it's a good idea. Sorry. Sorry. I got something I want to say.

Oh, boy. Before we begin, I want to acknowledge the Karankawa people.

They were indigenous to this beautiful land that we're currently on.

Make no reservations about it.

The Karankawa, they numbered nearly half a million before settlers from Texas

and Spain came and took their land by waging an agenda.

He said genocide, just in case anybody missed that. That's how we're kicking

Thanksgiving. Hey, well, that's how Thanksgiving started, right? That's

Oh, I got to pick up your Drake. Can you say that again? You forgot again?

Anyway, today, the Karakawa tribe, they still fight to be recognized, their

traditions and their culture, by the people who colonize them. Very

Amen. Sounds familiar.

You know, Manny was a Karakawa.

When he stole my trees, I felt like a Palestinian.

What? Not quite, but I get where you're going with this. I just want to say that

I'm... I'm very thankful for my family, especially you, Mama. I can't wait to go

to Palestine with you.

You're going to Palestine?

I can't, but there.

I want to say that I'm really thankful for my three beautiful children, my

grandson and Bob.

And thank you, buddy, for having us today one last time. Thanks, buddy.

I'm just happy to have this table full again.

I'm really thankful, guys, to you, Dallas.

Anything happened to you, I would rip my heart out, look at it, spit, stab it,

throw it in the trash.

I don't need it if you're not here.

And also, I don't want to forget, I'm very thankful to America, the greatest

freest country out there.

You're always doing this, bro.

This disrespect, man. You're American also, bro.

Nigga, please.

I'd like to say, uh...

I think your lives matter.

And I think you deserve reparation.

Reparation? You want to give him money? He's first generation.

I mean, you barely got here five years ago. Listen,

bro, I'm ready for the test, okay? If there's a question in the Constitution,

I'm ready, bro. Third Amendment right now.

I plead the fifth, bro.

The fifth. And with this hand, bro, I will smack you with the fifth. After

second amendment, who give a shit?

Now you really sound American, bro.

You know what? It's good that I sound American, bro. You know why? Because

America gave most family asylum.

Only after they gave the idea of $200 billion.

See, why are my tax dollars paying for that instead of health care?

Okay, maybe America is not perfect, everybody.

But I love America, okay? Can we just agree that America sometimes is great

sometimes it's just awful? Only God is great, Maria.

Countries and borders are all made up. The real thing is the land. And the land

accepts us wherever we die.

Let's eat.

Bismillah. Bismillah.

Yeah, you know, we should count the ducks. I'm pretty sure Hamid took out

the ducks. At least. At least one or two. That speech was Bob was crazy.

Thank you for helping me clean up, though. Yeah.

Thank you for being there the other day.

Yeah, it was nice.

Not so nice, but, you know.

Look, I'm sorry. When I came back from Mexico, I was a big baby.

I was hurt.

I didn't know how to process that.

I told you to move on, and you did.

It doesn't give me a right to tell you who you can and can't see.

I think I did it on purpose.

What, to die?

I think I didn't trust myself to get over you, and... I knew it would end

things, so I did the one thing I knew you couldn't forget.

You are an emotional terrorist.

Yes.

No, I mean...

Maybe, I don't... I was

just so hurt.

Look,

this belongs to you.

Had it for a while.

Yeah,

Tia Rosa gave it to me.

What? She had this idea when I get back that I would propose to you.

I know.

Stupid.

Take it.

Talk about your grandmother's. Take it.

It's your grandmother's. Take it. You lost your mind. Take it.

Now give it back to me.

Yes.

Come on.

What are you doing?

I don't know what's going to happen between us, Mo.

But I do know I love you enough, and I don't want you to live in fear of a

deportation order.

I want to see you go to Palestine with your family.

So yes, Mona Jarre, I will green card marry you.

But... I know, I know you don't want a green card marriage, but... Fuck that.

It's hard being deported.

I can't do it anymore, really.

Okay.

You sure?

Yeah, yeah.

Before you change your mind.

No, don't take any pictures again. No, it's for evidence, not memories. Oh,

okay. We did it!

Yay!

Que felicidad!

Oh, boy.

Who knew we had to separate to get married? Yeah, I know.

She had to break up. Poof, we're engaged.

yet I do get to go to Palestine.

I used to rule the world Seas had rise when I gave the word

Now in the morning I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own

Listen as the crowd would sing.

Now the old king stayed along with the king. One minute I held the key.

Next the walls were closed on me. And I discovered that my castle stand

upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand.
