TOMORROW IS BETTER

Let's go people. Stand by.

You started working in bathrooms and similarly disgusting places, right?

Exactly.

I wonder who got into the bathroom and discovered your extraordinary talent.

Guys, get that girl away from her.

When I first saw your video clips,

I really wanted to report you to the vice police.

Do you know that you are an uptight, vindictive lady?

-Here is your juice. -Unreal!

-Ousha. -You are so pretty!

By God, you won't be happy until you get me fired.

Nada, we should dot the i's and cross the t's.

I can't live without you. I love you.

I love you! I love you!

First of all, I told you many times that we are only friends and coworkers.

Secondly, say things appropriate for your age.

Thirdly, get up and go check your bazaar.

Are you going to sit here all day long pretending to be a guest? Go.

Leo...

"Love will come to you from water, so be sure not to lose it."

-I'm sorry. -No worries. Nothing happened.

-I'm really sorry! -Nothing happened, really.

Wait a second. Can I get an orange juice?

A glass of orange juice?

Ouch! What's wrong, kid?

What's wrong with me? What do you want with her?

-To whom are you referring? -The girl you ordered juice from, slim.

I just asked her for some orange juice. It's normal. What's the problem?

That pretty girl is of concern to me, and I care about her.

You've got nothing to do with her anymore, smart ass! Get out of here.

You are the smart ass. You get out of here.

-Let go of me. -Get out of here, boy.

-Let go of me. -Get out of here, boy!

I'm sick and tired of the lack of competition.

I can't find a female media figure who can compete with me. What do you think?

Of course, you are a star.

-Is there anyone like you? -Never.

-With God's mercy. -What are you saying?

I said, that's why Hala Sarhan canceled her program.

-Of course. She should cancel it. -One disaster is enough for us.

What are you muttering about?

I said one pretty anchorwoman like you is enough for us.

Madam Liqa?

Madam Liqa?

I can't believe it! I'm standing face to face in front of Madam Liqa!

Enough. What the hell! Is it raining in the middle of the summer?

I'm soaked! You sprayed me with your spittle.

I'm sorry. When I love someone, this happens to me.

I'm one of your biggest fans.

Can we take a picture?

-Okay. I need wipes and a bathrobe. -Hold this.

-What the hell? -Sorry, it's a squirt-gun camera.

Shut up!

Here is the real camera.

-Give it to me. Hold this. -Hurry up!

Will do.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Amr Al-Kilani.

And yours?

What is this noise? What's wrong?

-It's Ousha. -Ousha?

Ouch! Are you stupid, boy? Take it easy, boy.

What the hell! Take it easy, boy. Slow down. To hell with you. I'll fall.

Are you crazy? Are you stupid?

Attack!

I've missed you! You little monkeys.

I wish that for once you'd welcome me as your aunt without giving me a hard time.

I'm not one of your enemies.

-Why are you late, Nada? -Barely finished my shift.

Listen, kids. Go study a little bit, and if you remain quiet,

tonight I'll get you that karate movie you like, okay?

Because I need to talk to your mother. Go.

Strange. I haven't seen you infatuated with anyone like this

since we were back in school.

Don't worry. The minute I start my shift, I will look everywhere for him.

Didn't you say that you saw him on the beach?

And that he is a guest at our hotel? Don't worry, pretty girl.

You are unbelievable. Our hotel has over 2,000 rooms.

Where would you find him?

And you know that I wasn't doing that for fun.

My entire problem is that I was looking for a man that has something different.

And of course, he should hold a good position at work,

just like me when I open my dream Italian restaurant.

By the time you make the money for this restaurant of yours,

I will have been dead at your hands.

Okay. Go do your things so we can get to work on time, otherwise they'll fire us.

No. I wouldn't let that happen. I'll resign with dignity.

Resign? Are you crazy?

Have you forgotten that I got you the highest ratings in the past ten years?

Listen, Liqa. I know your history better than anyone else,

and I know your significant contribution to the channel.

But the board of directors has a different opinion. They insist on change.

So, you decide to change me? The one who is holding the channel together? Me?

That's why we said it's time for you to stop holding this post,

and for us to hold you--

I mean, to give you a break and take responsibility off your shoulders.

With a stupid stroke of a pen by the board of directors,

you erase my history?

Take away 20 years of my life? Me?

Say something to them, Murtada.

Hi, Wafa? Tell me, how is she doing now?

Why is that?

What's going on? Are you crazy?

You haven't given her the medicine since I was at your house?

That's not right.

I told you to give her half a tablespoon after meals, three times a day.

No more than half a tablespoon. Do you understand?

Go give her the medicine right now.

-How are you doing, Lulu? -Did you see what happened to me?

-Take it easy, dear. -What's this?

Dr. Khalid said to take half a tablespoon whenever you feel anxious.

Open your mouth, please.

-Where is he? -They needed him at the hospital.

This happens to Madam Liqa, the best anchorwoman in Egypt?

-Didn't we agree to not get upset? -Give me another dose.

No, Dr. Khalid said half a tablespoon only. It'd be wrong to give you extra.

Try to sleep. You'll wake up calmer and in a good mood.

-Goody night. -What? It's "good" night, "good" night.

No worries. I'll bear with you. Wish you a speedy recovery.

Sorry. I did not know you were in the room.

Wait a second. Let me tell you something. Wait till I get dressed.

Hey, you!

Hey, girl! Orange juice girl!

At least give me your phone number. Anything.

Holy smoke, you are so pretty!

-Gorgeous! -My love!

-May God keep us always together. -Hell no!

-I fell in love with you. -Get away from me, damn it!

Listen, can't I even get a chance to tell you something? Give me a minute.

I just need to tell you something.

Listen. If anyone gives you a hard time, I can take your phone number or e-mail,

-and I can call you at night. -I have a housekeeping shift,

and I need to go change my clothes. It won't work.

What room service? Do you work at the restaurant or in room service?

Or in housekeeping. Where do you work exactly?

Good morning, Ousha.

Ousha? Good morning.

Go play away from here, son. We'll clean up the place.

Why are you so rude and ill-mannered?

Why don't you act politely? What kind of garbage did they breastfeed you?

Garbage? Yeah, garbage. And it was from the same bin you were breastfed from.

Without further ado, tell me what you want with Nada?

I seek refuge in God from all cardinal sins.

Are you seeking penance in this place? I told you to be brief.

Don't make me repeat myself. What do you want with Nada?

Boy, I'm telling you that I love Nada. Why can't you understand?

That's news to me! I love her as well.

-What do we do? -Listen. I'll tell you what to do.

Here we are. Why don't you talk to her and let her choose,

and we'll see who she goes with.

The problem is that I can't talk to her.

That's easy. I'll let you talk to her. All right, mister?

-All right. -Sounds good to you?

-Yeah, sounds good. -Give me five.

Sucker!

I wonder what you want, Mr. Amr. What's your story?

There is no story. I had a very strange feeling when I first saw you.

Do you know the feeling when you love someone before you even see them?

That's how I felt when I saw you.

I really like you, Nada.

Like me? Why? Haven't you seen pretty girls before?

I've seen a lot of pretty girls. But I'd like to ask you a question.

What do you have that the other girls I knew didn't? Nothing.

I just felt captivated the moment I saw you.

You look like a womanizer who wants to kill some time while on vacation.

I'm a poor girl and can't handle heartbreak. Please don't hurt me.

Why are you saying this? Girl, I feel like I've known you for ten years.

It seems that I'm going to fall in love with you, you crazy girl.

Don't be rude! You think I'll condone your behavior because you're handsome?

Go to sleep. I have work tomorrow morning.

Okay.

Bu please go on with your craziness, and let me see you tomorrow.

Nada? I think that you don't want to go home this weekend.

No worries. Stay here, and I'll go check on the apartment,

take the boys to their karate class, and get back to you right away.

Nada?

Nada? Someone left you this package at the hotel's front desk.

-For me? -Yes.

Okay. Thank you.

-What's this? -It's a walkie-talkie.

You haven't told me when we're going to meet. Over.

And you didn't tell me that you were not normal. Over.

I haven't been normal since I saw you.

And by the way, this is the first time this has happened to me.

This is your problem and you should solve it by yourself. Over.

I need to see you at once. Over.

It won't work. I have a lot of work. Over.

Give me five minutes to see you,

and you can go back to all your work. Over.

Don't be naive. Go see him and don't lose your chance.

Nada, after all the things he's doing, you still think he isn't different?

Shall I go see him looking like this? I look like a car accident.

Don't worry about it. It's barely a fender-bender.

Don't worry about it, pretty girl. A few touch-ups and you're good to go.

Okay.

I'll give you five minutes, that's it. Over.

Yes, sir. Here I am. What do you want now?

Listen to me. Without beating around the bush, I want to marry you.

So soon?

Believe it or not

My heart will be the winner No matter what happens...

I should travel to see my son. I should play my role as a mother. That's enough.

I haven't seen him for so many years. It won't work.

Calm down and spare yourself the trouble of packing.

In a matter of a few hours, Amr will arrive here.

Really? Of course. He missed me. I'm his mother after all.

He must have felt bad for me being in such difficult circumstances.

But he's not coming alone. He'll bring his girlfriend to introduce her to you.

What? His girlfriend? I can't believe my son fell in love without telling me,

-or without asking my permission! -Ask your permission? What?

It's not like he's going to the bathroom.

I told you that the man is in love. Is anything wrong with that, Liqa?

No, my dear. My son is still too young to fall in love.

And how could he fall in love without my permission?

Who is still very young? Your son is a man with a mustache.

My beloved son is sporting a mustache?

What's wrong with you, Liqa? Why do you take what I say at face value?

It's a saying, my dear. It's just a saying.

I want you to calm down and clean yourself up,

so your beloved son will find you pretty and throw himself in your arms.

I've never really felt like a mother. How does it feel?

It feels like... if Zamalek were to win the championship!

But it won't.

Khalid? Amr is sporting a mustache.

-Seriously? -Yes.

And he will bring his girlfriend with him today. I'll meet her.

Yes, I know. Hazem Shishtawi, the owner of the hotel

where she works as a housekeeper, told me that Amr wants to marry her.

Housekeeping?

A maid?

She cleans bathrooms and bedrooms?

Your mom is a very serious lady.

She took photos with all those celebrities?

She even took a picture with Shaaban Abdel Rahim!

She interviewed the most important people in the world.

But her interview with you will be exclusive.

-Fufah, I missed you so much. -Ammour, I missed you too.

-How are you? Ammour! -I missed you.

-How are you doing? -What about you?

-How is Mom? -Mom? She is fine.

But she doesn't take anyone's circumstances into consideration, Amr.

Nada, right?

-My God! You are so beautiful. -I told you.

-You've chosen very well, Ammour. -Wafa is Mom's business manager,

and her best friend.

She practically raised me. You can say that she's my second mother.

Don't be deceived by his height. It was definitely me who raised him.

You can consider me a mother with a command rank.

God save us from evil...

Mother! I've missed you so much, my love.

-My love. -I missed you so much.

-I missed you! How are you? -I missed you so much!

-My darling son! -How are you, my dearest?

I missed you so much. I'm doing well. What about you?

How are you? Let me introduce you to Nada.

What's this? Why is your face so pale?

Pale? It could be lack of sleep. Let me introduce you to Nada.

Nada. Mother?

Mother? Hey, mother.

You can't imagine how happy I am to be sitting with you right now.

I'm one of your biggest fans, and I watch all of your programs, Auntie.

No need to call me auntie. I don't like it. You can call me Lulu.

Even though it's difficult for me, I guess I'll call you...

Call me what?

-Lulu. -Bravo, dear.

Please, have some tea.

What's up, Ammour? Why are you silent, my beloved?

Honestly, I was afraid of how this meeting would go down.

Why would you be afraid, my beloved?

Lulu, you are the best mother I've ever known.

And you, my love, I've only known you for a short time,

but you don't know what you've done for me.

You've changed my entire life, and I seriously can't live without you.

Nada, you are the most beautiful thing that happened to me.

-Will you marry me, Nada? -No!

Apparently, you've surprised her. Don't pressure her.

-I mean, give her a chance to think. -No, that's not it.

I'm just so happy, I can't believe what's happening.

-Does this mean that you agree? -Don't agree.

Of course I agree. Yes, I agree.

This looks good. Anyway, with God's blessings!

You want to marry my son, you kidnapper of men,

washer of towels and bed sheets?

No one takes my son from me, you bitch!

I'll turn this into a funeral!

-Congratulations, my dear. -Thank you, Lulu.

I remembered that I need to go make a phone call.

-I won't be gone long. -Please go ahead.

Surely she will call the police.

I love the color of your dress and the cute moves that suddenly come out.

Where are you going all spruced up like that?

Mimi, get me my stuff from inside.

Do you see the farce that I am in? My own son wants to marry a maid!

Your son is happy, and he loves her. She also seems smitten by him.

You know what? Your problem is that you've got nothing to do.

No. You need a project to keep you busy and keep us from your evil deeds.

Start an Internet café.

-Right. -What? Are you going to do that?

-No. -Then, what are you thinking of?

Of getting rid of this girl, but without upsetting my son.

What's up, Liqa? Are we going to talk here?

-Let's go talk inside. -Let's do that.

Maybe your son slept with her. That's why he is in a hurry to marry her.

You know what? You could be right. How come I did not think about this?

Since she is a depraved lowlife without manners,

she wants to take my son from me and get him involved with her.

Tell me what you want, and I will help you.

I'm at your disposal.

That's brilliant, my love.

For this, I'll get you the most expensive bottle of champagne...

and I'll choose it myself.

Nothing is too expensive for you. The most expensive bottle of champagne,

for the nice words you said.

It's resistant to fire, earthquakes, and volcanoes as well.

-What do you think? -It's a masterpiece.

-It's the house where we will live. -Are you kidding? It's beautiful, Amr.

-Do you really like it? -Of course I like it.

Thank God. Honestly, I was afraid you wouldn't like it.

I designed it in a very bold way. I myself don't know how I did it.

It's enough that the captain and his co-captain likes the design.

He made a mistake and slept with her.

What's this? Are you sitting in a garbage bin?

Put a bag in your mouth. This is disgusting.

Shall I refrain from cracking seeds? I won't.

He must have slept with her. I'm going to turn her life upside down.

-Yes, my love. -Hi, my darling.

Please give me Nada's phone number. I missed her and want to talk to her.

-Nada? She's with me. -That bitch is with him.

-Yes, Lulu, what's up? -Hi Naddousha, how are you, dear?

I missed you a lot. I'd like to see you because I want to tell you something.

-Will you be busy at 3:00? -No, I won't be busy.

Don't be late. I need you, and it's important.

Okay. I'll be there at 3:00 sharp.

-Bye. -Bye.

Keep this with you.

Nada. I'm a lady with a long experience in life.

And I can understand how young people do stupid things.

I am sure that you made a mistake.

I don't understand what you exactly mean.

How far along are you in the pregnancy?

Go ahead, cry. Cry, my dear.

These tears wash people. They clean people up.

I want you to look at yourself in the mirror and see your social status.

I want you to see where you are at, and where my son is at.

The envelope you are holding in your hands contains a $50,000 check,

in order for you to start the project of your dreams.

I think it's more than enough, right?

If you had such a long experience in life, as you claim...

you would've certainly realized that I have nothing to do with such mistakes.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be working any job that comes my way to make ends meet,

and your son himself would never have thought of marrying me.

And since you consider me beneath you,

that's your problem, not mine.

But unfortunately, I wanted you to be my mother as well.

Bravo, dear. Bravo, Naddousha.

Now I feel good that my son chose a wife wisely,

who knows how to protect him and preserve his honor while he's away.

Let me give you a hug. Come here, my beloved. I was testing you, dear.

But you passed with flying colors, with first-class honors.

Can't believe that girl passed the test. How dare she say I was like her mother!

How dare she say that!

I'm a mother of an old shoe like her?

She's overwrought.

My son graduated from the most prestigious academy in the world,

and he wants to marry a maid? The son of Ms. Liqa,

the most famous anchorwoman in the Middle East,

wants to marry someone who changes towels and bed sheets?

Me? She wants to take him from me?

Liqa, had all mothers done this, humanity would have gone extinct.

And frankly, stop being selfish.

I haven't lived with my son. I haven't lived with him!

Liqa, your son loves her and she loves him.

Shut up! My son is living a lustful moment, but it will end.

Okay. Consider it a lustful moment. Let it end by itself.

Stop acting up until your son travels and comes back safely.

Also, let go of the bottle of medicine. The doctor said one tablespoon.

That's none of your business.

No one understands me.

I hope that God will be generous to us and make you slip into a coma

until Amr and Nada get married and have two or three kids.

Then you can come out of the coma.

What's up, Wafa? Tell me what happened to my mother.

Nothing much. We were having a nice conversation,

and suddenly, she fell on the floor.

I thought she was doing some push-ups.

The poor woman went down but did not get up.

Go ahead. Do what I told you.

-How is she doing, Doctor? -To tell you the truth,

she is in a very critical condition. And her psychological condition is bad.

She suddenly developed hypertension, or high blood pressure.

This could have possibly led to stroke or even paralysis.

This could have happened to her because she was fired from work

or because she felt that she had fallen short as a mother for Amr.

In general, she is much better now.

But I want something very important from you.

I want you to treat her like a child, and don't upset her at all.

Okay? Treat her like what?

-A child. -Yes, that's right.

By the way, she could go home with you today. Okay? Go see her.

I ask you to put her into a coma, O Lord!

I wish you a speedy recovery, darling.

I wish it were me instead.

Get well soon, Lulu.

Dear, I won't leave tomorrow. I'll take you on a vacation for a couple of days

to have some fun, Lulu, and pamper you a little.

We can take Nada with us too.

No, sweetie. You go take care of your work.

I'll be just fine.

If Nada stays with me, I'll be in good shape.

I love her very much, Amr. I love her very much.

Very much!

-I'll miss you very much, darling. -I'll miss you too, sweetheart.

-I want you to talk to me every day. -Okay.

-In the morning and at night. -Okay.

You take care of yourself, my dear, and take care of each other. Okay?

I'll call you upon arrival. Nada? What's wrong, Mom? Take it easy. What's this?

Don't worry, my love, I won't leave Lulu at all.

Don't worry about her. She's the one who won't leave you alone at all.

-I'll miss you so much. -I'll miss you so much.

I want you to take care of yourself and wear heavy clothes.

-All right, I'll wear heavy clothes. -And eat well, okay?

-And drink enough because the sea... -Okay. I'll eat, drink and dress well,

and I will take good care of myself and wear an undershirt because it's cold.

-That's right. -And I'll drink milk for rickets.

-Do you want anything else? -Nothing my love.

May God protect you from rickets. God forbid, my beloved.

Goodness. How can you forget to say goodbye to Nada?

-Yeah, that's right. Nada? -I know you are in a hurry, darling.

-Drive, quickly. Bye. -Bye.

Goodbye, sweetheart. Bye.

Naddousha, sweetie. My darling.

Come here. No you are all mine now.

Of course, Lulu. Let me just go get my clothes and come back quickly.

Sure, sweetie. But please don't be late.

May God bless you, Lulu.

"I'll miss you, I'll miss you too"? I don't understand anything at all.

Goodness! Is the woman feeling sick again?

What bad luck! I came to stay with her for a couple of days and this happens?

I'll go up and humor her, just like the doctor said.

What's up, Lulu? Calm down. You were doing fine in the morning.

In order to burn incense, you build a fire in the house?

Is this rational behavior?

Just explain it to me.

Repeat after me and you'll be a jinni.

-One, two. -I memorized it.

Boys and girls

Tat, ladies' talk

-Yes, yes, oh, yes -Yes, yes, oh, yes

Hello, who is there?

There is a lot to come

You and you, oh, yeah I have a group on Facebook

That includes Tamer, Ahmad and Owais I answer with "no" or "yes"

That's enough. Zip it.

What's wrong, Lulu?

Give me the medicine. It's right next to me.

Give me water.

It hurts.

It hurts.

Here is the water, Lulu.

Give me mineral water not tap water.

Get well soon, Lulu. Can I go sleep now?

No, I'm afraid of sleeping by myself. No. Please sleep next to me.

Please...

No! No! No!

What's happening? Your late husband has been dead for a long time, or what?

No!

No!

-What's going on? -What's this?

All this time in the shower, sweetie?

I felt very tired and needed to relax

-before I go to sleep. -Sleep? No. Don't be lazy.

-We have so many errands to run. -Who has many errands?

Me and you together, sweetie.

You know what? I hate talkative people. I can't stand her.

That's why Wafa makes me nervous. She never stops talking.

Please keep your eyes on the road. I don't want to live with her.

Come on. Shake a leg. We have many errands to run.

Okay.

I hope to see you wake up one day to find yourself a cripple.

-Put the bags in the trunk. -Okay, Lulu.

To hell with marriage and those who want to get married.

-Did you get the fragrance? -Yes, Lulu. I did.

Can you get it for me? Sorry, dear, there is a bad smell that I don't like.

-Okay, Lulu. -Thank you.

Goodness! How did I get involved with this family?

-Here you go. -Thank you.

My hand, my hand. Ouch!

Pull up the hand brake, damn you!

-Where is the hand brake? -Have mercy on me!

-My arm is hurting a lot. -My goodness!

I'm going to die!

No. This is stupidity. Stupidity.

-Wow! You are a tough girl. -Who is the idiot, now?

You're jeopardizing my life.

-Wow! -Is this a game, old lady?

-I won't be able to have kids. -This feels good.

You haven't found the brakes yet? I'm exhausted, have mercy on me.

To hell with you. I'm going to die.

Oh, my God!

You are a disaster. To hell with you. You're going to kill me.

Where are you taking me? Goodness!

Have mercy on me.

That's unfair. I'm going to die.

I'm going to die.

Nada? What's wrong? Are you sick?

You rammed into a pickup truck without realizing?

I rammed into something worse than a pickup truck.

Anyway, have you finished the adjustments or not yet?

Yes, I finished them, and I'll bring them to you right now.

Hopefully, we will start the execution phase in two weeks.

-I'll get you a cup of coffee at once. -Make it a large cup, please, Samer.

-So I can wake up. -I'll get you a large cup to wake you up.

-Here is your coffee in a cup, ma'am. -Lulu!

-What's wrong? -Lulu! Lulu!

-Do you like coffee without sugar? -Lulu.

-You like coffee with sugar? -Lulu.

You want it in a mug?

She wiped the streets of Cairo with me, Noga.

I can't eat, drink or go to the bathroom because of her.

She barges into the bathroom, Noga.

It's okay, dear. Tolerate her for Amr's sake.

I'm tolerating her for Amr's sake. Who else do you think I'm doing this for?

She'll drive me up a wall very soon.

Listen to me, girl. I'll tell you some news that might calm you down.

What? Tell me.

I'll come to Cairo in a few days, God willing.

Really? Why is that?

My kids are taking part in the Republic's karate championship.

May God be with them. I miss those two monkeys a lot.

Please give them a kiss from me. I'll let you go because I want to sleep.

She's been away for 30 minutes. Pray for me that she went to sleep

or that something bad happened to her. Good night.

What are you doing here?

I thought it was a fragrance, and I wanted to spray some in your room

so that, while you're asleep, you feel that you are sleeping in Paradise.

I don't like fragrance. I hate fragrance!

Die, fragrance! Get out of here, fragrance.

Let's go to sleep, Naddousha. Let's go, sweetie. Don't be upset. Come.

Go to sleep, sweetie. I know that you are very tired.

No, not at all.

-You are not tired, are you? -Not at all. I don't get tired.

Tell me something. Where did you get all this beauty and kindness?

Goodness gracious! This thing does not work for me. It won't work for me.

I forgot to tell you about my first trip to the United States.

I went there to conduct an interview with Bush. Bush Sr.

They gave me a hard time until I got clearance,

and they wanted to have the questions and the answers beforehand.

-Did you fall asleep, sweetie? -No. I did not.

Okay. Don't sleep, because I want to tell you some history.

What's going on? What's happening? Is the villa on fire?

Lulu? Lulu? Where are you, Lulu?

Where are you, Nada?

-I'm right here. -I can't see you, sweetie.

-I'm right here standing before you. -Where are you standing?

-Who is slapping me, then? -Am I going to see you and hit you?

-Let's call the fire department. -Why? The fireplace is clogged.

Come with me. Shake a leg. Let's go, sweetie.

This clogged fireplace is always giving me a hard time.

-Thank God the villa is not on fire. -Check what's in it.

-Me? -Do you want me to do it? Check it!

-Many things are clogging it. -Do something about it.

Do something about it.

What can I do? Am I in the army?

It should stay unclogged for good.

Thank you, sweetie.

I know you. You don't devour watermelon like this unless you are over the moon.

Did you see her? She looked like burning coal. Yes!

Do you believe it? I felt sorry for her.

-No way. -Yes way.

I'm thinking of cooking her a dish that would whet her appetite.

"Whet her appetite?" I'd believe you if you said it would split her head open.

Tell you what, take this thing away from here and get lost. Go!

That would be even better. She seems to have run away from you.

What are you doing, Lulu?

I cooked you some food that you'll find very delicious.

Throw me a lemon.

Sorry, sweetie. Did it hit your face?

I haven't cooked a meal for 15 years, but I'm willing to do it just for you.

Come try the food. Come, quickly. Come, my love, before it gets cold.

I want you to tell me what you think. Okay? Bon appétit.

What do you think? Is it bad?

On the contrary, it's very delicious. I'm going to eat it all.

Go ahead. Eat. Eat! What are you waiting for?

Eat... Eat... Eat...

Enough with this torture!

-Eat up. -Okay.

-Quickly. -Okay.

I want you to finish all the food by the time I finish this phone call, okay?

Quickly!

I told you a hundred times never to call me.

Suppose this trash bag Nada hears us, what will I do?

What's up, Khalid? Why are you acting like a child?

You are turning into a big baby.

Okay. Meet me tomorrow at the restaurant, at the Picaro Restaurant.

Surely they were talking about you.

Didn't you say she said that she didn't want you to hear her?

Yes, but what is it that she does not want me to hear?

It's obvious, dear. I had a hunch that this lady wanted to chase you away.

A sick woman would never do anything like that.

I suspected that too when I heard her yesterday.

If this checks out, I will...

But suspicion is not enough. I've got to be sure.

How are you going to be sure?

Wow! You look 20 years younger. I'm serious.

Thank you, sweetie.

-So, I'm only five years old, now? -I can't believe how deluded you are!

Where are you going, Lulu?

If you have an errand to run, I'll do it for you. You can relax in here.

-No, sweetie. I have an annual checkup. -Dressed up like this for the checkup?

-Yes. -I'll tag along, so you won't be alone.

No. Today I want you to relax, have a bubble bath, apply some creams

-and be a beautiful girl. -May God bless you, Lulu.

May God not deprive me of your kindness.

Thank you!

Lulu?

Lulu?

Here I am, in front of you. What do you want with me?

-I love you. -I swear, you're a crazy man.

I loved you so much that I sacrificed the dignity of my profession,

and took part in the plot you hatched against your son and his fiancée.

I told him you were sick and could become paralyzed, too.

God forbid! May this happen to those who hate me.

Besides, she's not my son's fiancée.

She is a lowlife and a maid.

How could that inferior, contemptible creature be my son's fiancée?

Don't be upset.

Besides, she's not only a lowlife and an inferior creature,

but also an old shoe. Her father was a shoe repairman

and her mother used to clean toilets in hotels.

-Are you happy? -Not really.

Get lost.

God help us!

...arrived at Algeria coming back from...

-Nada is on the phone. -What does that trash bag want?

Answer the phone and you'd know.

How are you, sweetie?

Oh, hi. How can I help you?

No, I just wanted to tell you that Nada suddenly felt indisposed

-and she might stay with me... -Oh, my God. Wish her a speedy recovery.

I wish it were me instead. Or all of those who hate her.

Nada is the sweet breeze by which I live.

Can you put her on the phone? Please let me hear her voice.

She took some cold medicine and she's sleeping now.

She'll be better in a couple of days, God willing, and will come back to you.

A couple of days? No, I can't live without her that long.

I'll take her to the best doctors in town.

Give me the address please. Quickly.

The address?

16 Sulayman Abazah Street, second floor,

the first apartment to the right, Heliopolis.

I hope I'll find you well, my dear Nada.

Hope to get up there and find you burning up. Burning up!

God help us...

Is there any creature living in this place?

Is anyone home?

Oh, God.

Go away!

Oh, God.

What?

Is Nada here, kids?

Oh, my God! Are you okay, sweetie? What's wrong?

What happened to you, Lulu?

Lulu?

Lulu!

-I think we should build... -I disagree with you.

I think we should build it here or there.

-For sure we'll find a place... -What's going on?

-But the most important thing is... -What are you people doing here?

What's happening in my villa? Who are those savages?

What's the story, miss? Let us do our work. Who is she?

-She's Amr's mom. -Who is Amr?

-Amr, my husband-to-be. -"Amr, my husband-to-be"?

I'm sorry, ma'am. I did not know. There is more to you than meets the eye.

Listen, ma'am, we're supposed to build a small villa next to your big villa.

And this was per my agreement with Mr. Amr, your son,

so that he would live in it with the young lady.

There are no ladies here but me. This is my villa.

Take your garbage and get out of here. Scram. Get lost.

-Garbage? -You are an ill-mannered woman.

We are garbage?

I swear I will not move it out. You move it out.

What have you done, ma'am?

We'll have to bring garbage to remove the garbage man.

I mean bring a garbage man to take out the garbage.

Sorry, sorry, Lulu. Please don't be upset.

I'll move it out for you. You relax, okay?

Sit down, Lulu. She will move it out.

-Move it. -Okay. I'm going to do just that.

Goodness. How do they get up there?

Don't worry, I'll move it at once. You stay put.

-Back up. -Am I doing good?

Come on. To hell with you.

Liqa, my beloved. What have they done to you?

Lulu?

She's not letting the girl go, either under the sand or above it.

Lulu. Oh, pretty and young lady!

Search for her. Aren't you an engineer?

No. I've become a strategic expert and political analyst. Why me of all people?

Look for her, you crazy man.

I've got the head.

Are you okay, Lulu, my darling? Can you see me, Lulu?

-I can barely see. I can barely see. -Let's go to the hospital, Lulu.

-Wait, let me help you. -Take it easy.

-Slow down. Take a deep breath. -Take it easy.

Always take a deep breath. Inhale and exhale, okay? I'll go.

Take care of her.

Oh, God!

Before you finish, how much are you asking to complete this job, Mr. foreman?

500 EGP for each head.

That's too much. It's just some cement that needs chipping off.

-I'll only give you 100. -That would work if I did it blindly,

without any consideration that the flesh could come off with the cement.

Let the flesh come off with the cement. So what? It's not a big deal.

Tell you what, this woman isn't worth that amount of money.

Why don't you sit aside, and I'll do it. Turn it on, Mr. foreman.

Here we go!

Lulu...

Mr. Mukhtar, the head of the station, wants to talk to you.

-What does he want? -See what he wants.

-I'm very tired. -That's okay. Just see what he wants.

Yes, Mukhtar?

I'm doing good. What about you?

Really? All of a sudden like that?

Tomorrow?

What is it?

They want to reinstate the program and hold a party for me tomorrow.

Congratulations, Lulu. Finally, they realized your worth.

I turned her into a reinforced concrete column.

If we had a couple of steel poles, we would have built a second floor.

You evil girl! The lady is coughing pebbles.

There is more to come! She hasn't seen anything yet.

I will make her dance like that.

What else are you going to do, evil girl? Explain to me. Isn't this enough?

Enough? She wouldn't let me sleep, Noga.

Just tell me what's going on in that head of yours.

Who are you calling?

-I'm Ousha. -Who is this and what's he doing here?

Relax, Auntie Om Amr. What's going on? What's wrong?

"Auntie Om Amr?" My name is Ms. Liqa.

-Who is this? -My friend, Lulu. Anything wrong?

"My friend, Lulu. Anything wrong?"

We were supposed to get married,

but the age difference was an obstacle in our lives.

-Let's go, Ousha. -Where are you going, my dear?

-To mess around in the villa? -We're going to relax a little bit.

-Is there something wrong? -No, dear. There is nothing wrong.

Mess around in the villa as you wish. Go.

What's up, girl? Sit down. What's wrong? Are we going to bomb an embassy?

You don't know this lady. One should have plots unfolded.

"Unfolded?"

You'll find that at the dry cleaner's.

All the answers are inside my head.

Forget that game and focus!

What? What's wrong?

-Come, don't be afraid. -Okay.

Listen, dear. Since you need my help, I won't leave you until you're married.

I hope so! What should I do?

There is only one solution.

I'll fix everything for you and get it all in order,

and, God willing, things will change for you.

-You look beautiful, Madam Liqa. -Thank you.

Honestly, I'm afraid that you might get envied.

-He is really obnoxious. -Indeed.

He can't stand me anyway.

Tell you what, Lulu, take some medicine to calm down your nerves.

No, I'm very good. I feel like I was born again today.

-I can't tell you how happy I am. -Thank God.

-Where did that scumbag go? -Why are you talking about me now?

She has not taken any sips of the medicine yet, wise guy.

She will take a sip, and the bugs will go to work.

How are we going to make her drink from the bottle?

-When does she drink from it? -Whenever she's nervous.

That's simple. We'll make her nervous. Let's go.

This is the end of our friendship

People gathered around me

The last gas cars are in front Four behind and two in front

The last cars and our destination Is the farm estate

And those who need us Should come on a motorcycle

-Pump it up! -The last gas cars are in front

Four behind and two in front

The last cars and our destination Is the farm estate...

A cart crashing my party? You lowlife, piece of...

Take the medicine.

Hi. How are you, Liqa?

Did you see the surprise I've prepared for you?

I'm handsome, right?

-What's up? What's so funny? -How come you are naked? Are you crazy?

Is it me who is crazy? Do you see me naked?

Of course you're naked.

You've been giving me a hard time and getting on my nerves

as long as I've known you.

Seriously, I made a mistake coming here to congratulate you.

I was really mistaken to come here to congratulate you.

Hanzalah! I need to talk to you, captain.

-You invited Hanzalah behind my back? -No, I didn't.

May your mother grieve over you!

Where are you, Jihad?

Where are you, Jihad?

Where are you, Jihad?

Salamah! I am here, Salamah.

Where are you, Jihad?

What's wrong, Liqa?

Believe it or not, I guess this girl really did something to you.

Yes. She did something to me. What have you done?

What have you done you wretched lowlife old-fashioned peasant?

Me? A lowlife? What can I tell you?

You are silly and weak like a straw.

Show me what you have. Bring it on!

Give me the bottle. Take this.

You are silly and weak like a straw

Show me what you got

Come on, bring it on

If bad conduct did not come out Of the house you've been raised in

Oh, you confused girl from Shubra Who grinds wheat

Whose name is a shame You're all talk and no action

I'm not afraid of your intimidation And lies

I'm not afraid of you Because you're a liar

You are silly and weak like a straw

I swear by Kasha and Masha To let the butterfly go

Don't make me bring out my worst

And divulge the secrets

When you were wearing The old-fashioned peasant gown

When you were wearing The old-fashioned peasant gown

I used to see you with my own eyes

Talking to this and that

Go quickly and attack her You'll beat her up easily

I'm not happy, I'm upset Go attack her and deal her a blow

She is coming to bully you

Attack and deal her a double blow

You don't care about anyone here I will get your blood boiling

Without even coming near you

But I'll send you someone To teach you manners

Are you serious or are you kidding? We want it to get heated up and burn

Are you serious or are you kidding? We want it to get heated up and burn

You pushy woman with a sick head

Continue to burn up And let the fire of jealousy eat you

Shame on your looks And shame on your failure

I'll take your son by force

You pretty girl, I'll shake you up

Until you come and say "It was my fault, please forgive me

It was my fault, please forgive me"

You Hanty Canty You're six centimeters tall

I will keep haunting you Even if you commit suicide

Even if you commit suicide

What does he mean by calling me

and saying his wedding will be the day after tomorrow?

Does he want me to accept this as a fait accompli?

Listen, Liqa. It seems that your son has already made up his mind.

Besides, you need to let him bear the consequences of his own choices.

The saying goes, "He who wears a leaky water bag will have a soaked head."

Besides, haven't you used all the tricks up your sleeve to destroy this marriage,

but to no avail? What are you going to do next?

-Give me your hand, sweetie. -You're going to read my palm?

Give me your hand.

What's up with you, Liqa? Are you teething?

Fufah, Lulu. Have you prepared the dress you're going to wear to my wedding?

I want you to be the most beautiful woman at the wedding

even if you're better looking than the bride herself, which is me, of course.

Of course, sweetie. I'll choose the most beautiful black dress I have

and be sure to wear it on that sad day. May God make all of your days dark.

Give me your hand. Have you got Parkinson's disease?

To hell with biting and those who invented it.

What's wrong, Liqa? Are you teething in old age, or what?

Go, sweetie. Get ready so I'll have time to get ready myself.

-What does that mean? -I decided to get married long with you.

On the same night.

Spruce me up, Lulu

Quickly, spruce me up, Lulu

Because my groom will come And take me away from here, Lulu

-Do you hear? -Do you hear?

Do you hear, Lulu? These people are dancing for me

Do you see, Lulu?

My dress is very long

I'm very happy, Noga.

Ousha? What brings you here?

Love without hope is the noblest emotion of all.

I came today to act as your guardian and to hand you over to your husband.

Crazy!

I think that we're playing with the cards face up.

All these people should know your lowly and wretched roots.

-If I am a lowlife, then you are... -Nada. She is my mother.

Right. She is truly your mother.

Nada!

You don't have an answer for him, right?

I just want to know how you had the nerve to do this?

Have you forgotten that this girl was going to be his wife?

-You were with me in this. -Yes, that's right.

I was with you in this.

But we never agreed to insult her dignity like this.

Where are you going? Have you forgotten our wedding party?

Our wedding party?

Where is this party?

You know what?

You can celebrate by yourself.

Nada?

Take this tray, please.

What do you want with me? Have you come to humiliate me here too?

I never felt that I was Amr's mother until I was fired from the network.

I tried to make it up to him, but you appeared in his life out of nowhere.

-I wish I did not. -On the contrary.

It was my fault to think that you could take him from me.

This is a very late confession.

What is required of me right now?

I realized my mistake, and I regret everything I did to you.

What do you regret, Ms. Liqa? Humiliating me?

Or beating me up? Or the scandal you caused on my wedding day?

You turned what was supposed to be my dream day

into the darkest day of my life.

I want to ask you one question.

If you had a daughter and her mother-in-law did the same to her,

what would you do to her?

I would've torn her to pieces with my teeth.

I don't have a mother to do that to you.

I'll be your mother.

Go back to him.

Amr loves you.

No need to think and be baffled, pretty girl.

As usual, check your horoscope.

-Does anyone have a newspaper? -Yes.

"If you are looking for love, count from one to five

and you will see the one you love standing right in front of you."

One, two...

So you'd know that we belong together.

Keep counting.

Three, four, five.

-What do you want? -Take it easy, Auntie Om Amr.

-What's wrong with you? -What do you want? What?

How about you gouge out your eye and I gouge out mine

and we live together as one-eyed lovers?

Get out of here, boy. Go.

Where are you going? Don't you ever quit?

You beat the hell out of her throughout the movie. Give yourself a break.

Let her get married. Give us a break. Look for a TV series to act in.

Hey, guys, please show the credits. Let's finish this movie.

Are you serious? What are you doing, you scumbags?
