Did you add a‐‐a‐‐

(DOOR CLOSES) RAMY: Hey.

(SPEAKING ARABIC)

(TV CLICKS OFF)

(SPEAKING ARABIC)

What's happening? Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay. Why?

You came in, you kissed us,
and then you sat down with us.

Yeah. I just want to hang out
with you guys.

Usually, you come in

and you go upstairs
straight away.

Something's wrong.

Mom, nothing's wrong. Seriously.

Uh

I mean, there was something

that I wanted
to talk to you guys about.

(SPEAKING ARABIC)
RAMY: It's not bad.

It's not bad. I

I actually met a woman,

and I've been thinking about
maybe getting married.

Her name is Zainab.

Show me pics. What?

MAYSA: Show me her pictures.

What's her Instagram?

Ma, I don't‐‐I don't know
her Instagram.

Don't you want to know how we
met, or‐‐or anything about her?

How are you going
to marry someone,

you don't know their Instagram?

Okay, I know it. I just
don't want you to have it.

(SPEAKING ARABIC)

I know, Dad. I know.

And I just got, you know,
promoted at work

and, you know, I thought
maybe you guys could help us

a little bit if we need it,

but I don't even know,
all right?

I don't even know.

It's really early, and I just
want you to meet her.

MAYSA: Yes, habibi, don't
worry. We will help you.

And, inshallah, she will
give me a lot of grandchildren.

(SPEAKING ARABIC)

Grandchildren? (SPEAKING ARABIC)

RAMY: I didn't say kids.

I think
you should just meet her,

and then we'll‐‐
we'll see where it goes.

She's really amazing,

and I think if just our family
meets her family,

you'll see.

Her dad's actually my sheikh,
so...

Dad, this is a good thing.
It's not‐‐.

MAYSA: Farouk?

Mom.

He didn't even give me a chance
to talk.

He's treating me like‐‐
like I'm Dena or something.

I know, habibi. Don't worry.

I'll talk to him.

So the only Zainab
that I found on Instagram

that you and your sister
are following

is Zainab Ali.

That's not your Zainab.

That's my Zainab.

But she's...

She's what?

Beautiful. Like Beyoncé.

You think
she looks like Beyoncé?

Yeah.

Really? What about her looks
like Beyoncé exactly to you?

The hair.

She's wearing a headscarf.

Beautiful hair, Beyoncé.

So it's been, like,
uh, two weeks now

and I can see online that
your post is still available.

So.

It would be very,
very kind of you

if you got back to me, please.

Please.

(SIGHS)

Excuse me.

Can I borrow your charger?

I have a different computer.

Sorry, could you,
like, step outside

if you're gonna make calls?

You're just, like, in my ear.

VET: Well...

Okay, your dog is showing
clear signs

of anxiety and depression.

Depression? VET: Mm‐hmm.

She is depressed?

What for?

What does she have
to be depressed about?

Huh?

Tell us. What?

Do you have children
that you need to support?

Huh? Or do you miss out
on your bills?

Your mortgage?

Maybe she left her family
and life behind

in her homeland
and came here to chase a

a dream that doesn't exist.

(SPEAKING ARABIC)

You know,
some dogs can be very sensitive

to human emotions,

so it's possible
that there's someone struggling

in your household.

Yeah.

That's right.

My son.

His name is Ramy.

This is his sheikh's dog.

Mm‐hmm. Mm.

Look, Mr. Hassan, this is
what I'm gonna do for you.

I'm going to prescribe
a mild dose of Xanax

twice daily
until her symptoms subside.

Got it?

You know, my son,

he talks to this sheikh of his,

and

he's supposed to be
his future father‐in‐law.

The problem is,
he barely knows these people.

And what about me?
I'm his father.

What about our connection?

And I think he needs‐‐.

Look, Mr. Hassan,

I have a bleeding parakeet
in the next room,

so I'm gonna have to
make this quick,

but I'd like to refer you
to a doctor for people.

I think I know someone
that you can talk to.

I'll just write it here.

Here you go.

Okay. Have a good day.

Thank you.

(SPEAKING ARABIC)

Habibi, I know you are worried

about this marriage thing.

He just wants you
to keep an open mind and meet.

(SPEAKING ARABIC)

Merci, habibi.

(INDISTINCT TV CHATTER)

By the way, did you talk
to the stupid new girl

at your office?

Oh, what are you talking about?

That was supposed to be
fixing the problem

with the checks?

Oh, yes, yes.

I sent her an email and, uh

I will follow up on Monday.

MAYSA: Good. Mm.

'Cause this is really crazy.

She should be fired, by the way.

We haven't gotten checks
for almost two months now.

MAYSA: So, Sheikh, Zainab,

we are very happy

Possible wedding.

This possible wedding.

We're happy to meet you both.

Thank you so much.
We're very happy to be here.

Your home is beautiful,

and your taste for fashion
is impeccable.

Thank you.

Um, maybe we should talk
about the logistics

of this possible wedding?

We have a big family
back in Egypt,

and the earlier we plan things,

the better it is for everyone.

Mom, I don't‐‐I don't think
we really need to worry

about Egypt right now.

Like, maybe we could just focus
on the people in this room?

SHEIKH ALI: Yes.

I'm happy with the enthusiasm,

but perhaps
we should take our time

with this decision.

I think it'd be good
if we used this time

just to talk

and get to know each other
a bit.

I agree.

So, uh, Brother Farouk,

Ramy was telling me
you're a sales manager.

Yes.

How do you like your work?

I heard you've been there
for a long time.

(DOOR OPENS)

NASEEM: Sorry I'm late.

Mom, you invited Uncle Naseem?

MAYSA: Yeah.
What the fuck is this?

Farouk, you have to lock
the door.

There are so many immigrants
in this neighborhood now.

As-salamu alaykum.

Uh, wa alaykumu s-salam.

You guys say that, yes?

Yes.

Do you prefer this? No?

I'm sorry,
who is this gentleman?

Uh, sorry.

This is my Uncle Naseem

and I didn't know
that he was coming.

I‐‐I did not invite him.

He's my brother.

NASEEM:
I need all the information

on who is joining this family.

Pleasure to meet you.

Brother Ramy speaks of you
often.

Mashallah.

NASEEM: Wow. Impressive.

He speaks Arabic too.

Naseem.

What prison did you convert in?

RAMY: I'm sorry, Sheikh. I‐‐.

Ah.

We all battle
our own stereotypes.

Mm‐hmm.

For example,

Muslims in the black community
so often are frustrated

trying to share
the true teachings of Islam

when so many of our
Arab brothers and sisters

open up liquor stores
in our neighborhoods.

The shameful hypocrisy is, um,
difficult to explain away.

We're also not the ones
bombing stuff.

SHEIKH ALI: Zainab. Hmm.

I never thought of it that way.

Hi. I'm Zainab, by the way.

Salams.

Salams.

Very cool. Very hip‐hop.

Maybe we should go back

to the wedding talk

and discuss expenses.

RAMY: Mom, I think, like,
if we do move forward,

we'll just do a small
katb kitab.

I'll pay for as much of it
as I can.

Oh, and, um, I'm also
gonna pay for some as well.

SHEIKH ALI: Ramy, Zainab,
that is very thoughtful,

but if we decide
to take that step‐‐.

Fine.
Farouk and I will pay for this.

The whole thing.

RAMY: Mom, no one's asking you
to pay for the whole thing.

I will do anything
for you to be happy.

Please stop.
Stop what you're doing.

I'll pay for half.

I have to be honest,
it's much better

than Ramy bringing home
a Korean.

I like this brother.
I like his daughter.

I really like the music
your people make, you know?

I will pitch in for half

and Farouk will cover
the other half.

Maybe we could just talk.

I know you owe me
a lot of money, Farouk.

It's okay.
You just add this to the tab.

Enough.

(SPEAKING ARABIC)

You're all just talk, talk
in this house.

And I'm the one who has to do.

You each want something

and I'm responsible
to make this thing happen.

Like there's a dog up there.

Someone needs to walk her

before she ruins the house
even more.

Who's the someone? It's me.

And by the way, that's your dog.

MAYSA: Farouk.

I think he's excited
about the wedding.

Mm‐hmm.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(SIGHS)

Dad.

What‐‐what's going on?

I lost my job, Ramy.

When you're a father, you
have to think of everything.

When I look at you
and your mom and your sister,

I want you to enjoy
living in the now.

(SPEAKS ARABIC)

I cannot live in the now.

I have to live in the future.

I have to see what's coming
and plan,

protect.

RAMY: (SPEAKING ARABIC)

Sheikh, you

you really don't have to do
that.

You hosted.

If you were at my home,
I'm sure you'd do the same.

I wanted to apologize
for my actions in there.

You and your daughter deserve
much better than this.

Please forgive me.

It's clear to me that you
care deeply about our children.

If anything, your actions

show that you're a serious
and thoughtful man.

I admire that.

And I must admit,

not everyone can handle
a brother‐in‐law like yours.

Oh. (LAUGHS)

Oh, yeah.

You know, my son,

since the day he was born,

every moment in my life
has been dedicated

to making sure that he succeeds.

Handing him over just like that
to Zainab and the real world...

Is very hard for me.

It feels like

the outcome will no longer be
in my hands.

We must remember the outcome
is never in our hands.

When the subject of marriage
was broached,

I admit I had some resistance.

But I've seen a change
in your son.

I trust that my daughter
is her own woman.

And if they're doing this
with Allah on their hearts,

that's all we can ask for.

If you trust
that I raised a daughter

that can help your son
reach his goals,

I trust
that you've done the same.

I think it's our duty
to support this union,

to guide them,
show them the way.

I'd be honored to go on
that journey with you, Brother,

share that responsibility.

The honor is mine, Sheikh.

20 camels.

What?

The dowry.

Serious?
