Hit it, Tarek! Pass it!

Goal!

Leave Tarek alone!

Let go of him.

What do you mean there is no vacancy for me?

You know I've been top of my class for seven years in a row.

Who's more entitled than I am?

Congratulations on the job, Mr. Hazem.

Why won't you understand? It's over. The position is filled.

-Son-- -No, I'm not your son.

He's your son, and that's why he was hired instead of me.

But I swear I won't give up my rights.

Don't ever think I'm leaving for good, Ahmad.

I can't live outside Egypt.

Whoever forgoes what's rightfully his in this country isn't a real man,

and you know I'm a real man.

I will return when I'm able to reclaim my rights...

the rights I can't claim right now.

Remember, the only thing that will make up for you leaving

is returning with an accomplishment.

-God willing. -And clothes for me.

Anything you want.

Don't worry about your mother. I'll check on her every day.

I'm not worried about her. She's going to travel and stay with her sister.

I want you to take care of your brother. Don't suffocate him.

We fooled around when we were young too. Remember?

-Take care. -You too.

What's that?

What's that?

-Are you home? -No, I'm coming in 15 minutes.

-Be careful, you fool. -It's okay.

I got you something to cheer you up.

-What's this? -What do you think?

-It's so pretty. -I'll keep getting you stuff

-until you get married. -Thank you.

You'll wear this in front of your husband.

-But it's indecent. -What's this?

What?

Were you sweeping the floor in my new pajamas?

-Did you want me to get my clothes dirty? -And what's that?

I have a cough.

-I'll get a cold. -You idiot.

This is stupid.

When you feel cold, dress in warm clothes or take some medicine.

No, I will convince you to wear newspapers.

You have a strong fist.

-Damn! -I like your indecency!

There's a loose woman with Eslam.

-Loose? -Yes, they're studying.

-Studying what? -It's either French...

-French? -Something with a "C."

-Cake? -No, it's not a cake.

-What was it? -Mechanics?

-Yes, do you know it? -Mechanics.

-Do you know it? -Yes, he specializes in it.

God bless him.

Eslam!

Welcome home!

Did you like that move? Did you think I slipped? No, I meant to do it.

I didn't slip on soap at all.

He's going to eat you alive.

You brought this on yourself. I've warned him a lot.

-On the bed. -Don't be rude.

-Come here. -It's none of your business.

Are you going to hit her? Are you stupid?

Are you a fool?

That girl is Touna. Do you know who she is?

-Our maid. -No, not our maid.

We've never treated her like a maid.

We've always treated her like a sister.

She's been bearing a lot of responsibilities on her own,

since Mom died and Dad ran away with a girl young enough to be his kid.

Let's focus on what's important. Who do you have inside?

My friend Husam. His father kicked him out and he came to stay for a while.

One second, Husam. I'm talking to my brother.

Really? Are you serious?

Listen, I don't want you to get upset.

I'll solve all these problems.

I did you a favor and invited her friend for you. Are you pleased?

That chubby girl...

-Yes, the blonde. -The hot one?

Tell that girl to leave, you punk.

She's leaving. I can't have a good time around here.

Soap, slapping and yelling! How is she supposed to sleep? Damn you all.

-What did you say? -Nothing.

I'm praying for you, man.

Bye, Eslam. Do you need anything, dear?

Bye, darling. I wanted to have a friendly conversation, but I'll make it up to you.

-Thank you, sweetheart. -Thanks.

-Is this your brother? -Yes.

Wow! He's so handsome.

-So handsome. -All right, bye.

-Bye. -Thank you, Suzi.

-You worked hard. -Wow!

I don't know why, but I have to go now.

What did you say? Your words are all mixed up.

-Do you still mispronounce letters? -I'm so scared, man.

Star Maker is on this year. Pray that I get in.

I'm writing a song called "What I Love About You."

-Really? -I'll go prepare myself...

Doctor, I'm so happy I found you.

-Hello. -How are you?

-I'm fine. -How have you been?

Fine, and you?

I wish I'd listened to you and joined the musical group with my mates.

As you can see, I have accomplished nothing.

Hold on. You still have the chance.

Here's my card with my number. Come and see me at the office, okay?

Thank you, Doctor.

-Come and visit soon. Bye. -Thank you.

Ahmad.

Ahmad, sometimes, we have to do things that we don't want.

And I'm obligated to leave town.

I can't miss such an opportunity.

I know this is going to upset you.

To be honest, it did upset me.

I may have a hard time getting over you...

but if traveling is in your best interest, then you have to go.

Goodbye, Ahmad.

Goodbye.

What's all that drama? I only met you a week ago.

I couldn't care less.

See? I'm already in pain.

Goodbye.

Good morning, Doctor.

They let me in.

Yes.

I'm right in front of the stairs.

Okay, bye.

Oh, really?

That was so easy!

Is that possible?

-Excuse me, sir! -Yes, sir.

-Come with me. -You scared me. What is it?

-I'll take you to the doctor. -Why are you yelling?

-Come with me! -I'm not a thief.

What's going on here? Come on!

-Uncle Ibrahim. -Yes?

-Take it. Don't get used to this. -Okay.

I gave you all these kisses. Can't your aunt get a kiss?

Okay, dear. Bye.

Is it your son?

Yes, Nour Al-Masri.

He's so sweet. God bless him.

May he rest in peace.

He wanted to be a singer.

He had a beautiful voice like yours.

Look, Ahmad. We have a group that presents a new perspective.

Starting tomorrow, you'll be one of us, but I want you to pick a new name.

What do you choose?

Nour Al-Masri.

You can go now, Ali.

Shahd is on her way. Thanks.

-Why are you standing alone, cutie? -We can entertain you.

Hey!

Watch out!

-You should be careful. -Sarah!

Shahd!

Shahd...

Thank God.

Thank God, you're okay.

You don't sound okay. Did Eslam get on your nerves?

All right. Everything is okay but it's a really expensive country.

I managed to get some money from Egypt. It'll be transferred in two days.

Okay, take care. Bye.

No!

Sarah! What's wrong?

What's wrong?

I'm sorry. I moved the sugar shaker. Sorry.

Come here, are you okay?

Be careful. Come with me.

I'll make you whatever you want. Were you making tea?

-I'll make it for you, darling. -I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Why are you standing here like that?

Nour, your new colleague. He went to the academy with you.

We've heard about him. He was the best student

and all the girls loved him.

-It's a pleasure, best student. -Doesn't sound like it.

How are you, Nour?

-Don't you remember me? -No.

-Why not? -Nour.

How are you doing? You look familiar.

-I graduated one year before you. -Really?

-Yes. -What did you play?

You played the flute, didn't you?

No, I mean...

Okay.

-Then you played the drums. -Come on, Nour.

I know. You're Taha, the weed dealer.

-And you're Mai, an academy friend. -You have a good memory.

Let's start the rehearsal, come on.

Okay.

Well done. Come, Sarah.

This is Sarah. She will compose the play's music.

This is Nour. He will sing in the play.

I'll let you two talk.

Rehearsal, people!

You have a good ear by the way.

You're better.

I said you had a good ear, didn't I?

Don't be surprised. I usually know people by their smell.

Since you already know everything, I'll tell you something new.

I saved you yesterday from the accident.

I'll tell you something even newer. I know.

-By my smell? -No, by your voice.

Didn't you tell my sister it was all right?

You have a good ear too.

-You know what that means? -What?

Nothing at all.

Since I rescued you and did a heroic deed yesterday,

and fell on the ground and got hurt,

don't I get applause, a thank you,

a medal, or a kiss on the hand?

Even a back flip?

Thank you so much, but that was a normal reaction.

You're a man, aren't you?

You're right.

You know, you and I had a misunderstanding yesterday.

But I know you won't remember it.

When I came in the morning, you were watering the plants.

I started hitting on you, thinking that you saw me.

What were you laughing at if you didn't see me?

-Yesterday? -Watering the plants.

I was talking to my nephew on the phone.

Next time show your earphones because any fool who sees you

may think you're talking to him.

Anyway, I'm glad you're all right.

Thank you.

Okay, I guess I should... stay a little longer.

-So you're imposing yourself? -Exactly. That's it.

Oh, my!

Hey, Eslam.

What are you smoking?

-Weed. -Weed, darling.

No way!

Did you put alcohol in the weed?

-Yes, alcohol. -Oh, no! You're going to Hell!

I'm not going alone.

Husam is going to Hell with you.

No!

I only go to those places in private.

-In private? -Oh, you...

Come on!

I like you when you're high.

Hey, dancer girl!

You dirty punks!

What?

I have a feeling your brother may come in any second. I better hide here.

-Just in case. -Look.

I think these guys are going to Hell.

Get out.

Where am I supposed to go?

I keep getting orders in this house.

-Eslam, go inside. -I can't take it anymore.

Wake up.

My feeling turned out to be right. Your brother's car is downstairs.

Hurry up, hide! He's coming.

-Do you think I'm doing the right thing? -What are you doing?

Standing by while you waste your life.

I'm perfectly fine.

The problem is that when you're wasting your life, you don't feel it.

-Listen, Eslam. -I didn't--

This is the last time I treat you like a friend. Next time will be different.

Faten was entrusted to us.

She's a good girl who's getting married soon.

Shut up, you idiot!

Don't get mad. I'll listen to you next time, okay?

You give me a kiss every time and then go back to your old ways.

It's the last time. I swear.

Let's hear one of your jokes now.

I ran into a friend the other day and he told me a good joke.

A macho man is with his friends, acting all manly.

He calls his wife and says, "Hey woman,

heat the water up. I'm coming home."

His mate says, "Looks like you wear the pants in the family."

He answers, "You want me to wash the dishes with cold water?"

Get me some hot water and crack my toes.

So, what did you want me to hear?

Listen, based on what you said...

I wrote something that goes like this.

You're faraway and I long To hold you in my arms

My heart will always belong to you

The song is beautiful, but it won't work for the play.

I still don't understand what exactly you want.

I want something-- Watch out for the pit.

I want something hopeful, not gloomy and dark.

Something that says if you can't have the one you love in this life,

God will bring you together in the afterlife, you know?

-Uncle Ibrahim. -Yes?

-Where's the water for the small tree? -In its usual spot.

Don't feel bad. You have a beautiful voice,

and the song is great, but it's not what we're looking for at all.

You know what I mean? You get what I'm feeling?

I got it.

Your brother has made my life hell since I moved next door.

-Moved? What? -I mean rented the place.

-You're talking about the house. -Yes.

No cigarettes, no drugs, no women and no booze.

He's totally shameless!

-Me? -My dear!

I pray for you all day. I swear to God.

-I swear. -Watch out.

Listen.

I want your opinion on something. I need your expertise with women.

-Okay. -I met a pretty girl.

Calm down. She's so beautiful.

Like an angel on earth.

-Calm down! -All right.

She has a disability. She's blind.

-I don't know what to do. -I'll tell you what to do.

I'll give you some pills and you'll become a stud.

Ask your brother about them.

I win!

I've never seen you so confused. You taught me all my moves.

I'm at a loss for words. It's weird.

Send her a message.

What should I say in the message?

Girls now like a guy to be straightforward. Just be frank.

Ask her what she's wearing.

-Are you stupid? -What?

I'm talking about a sweet angel, and you want me to ask her that?

Be straight to the point.

Plus, her sister reads the messages.

Then ask her sister what she's wearing.

"I'm glad we had that conversation,

and would like to sing one of your songs. Nour."

Who's Nour?

He's the group's singer.

Write in the reply,

"I'm sure that with your voice and emotions,

you'll express the music I dream about."

-What? -Just write, Shahd.

"...I dream about."

Are you sure this Nour is just a singer?

What? Of course. And write one more thing.

"I'll be waiting for your call once the song is ready."

Oh, my goodness! It must be her sister. Eslam!

Husam!

You morons!

Hello?

So it was someone else who sent me the message?

I thought it was your sister. Frankly, I'm terrified of her.

-That's it, bro! -Go, please, go.

-Who is this? -Funny Hasan.

Sorry, Sarah. It's a silly game I play with my brother.

Silly is my thing.

-Who is this? -Fun Madiha.

Fun Madiha.

I might ignore the play and write all the songs for you.

I'm serious. Everything I attempt to write ends up being written for you...

Ahmad Al-Shahat is in love, people!

Listen, it's my turn.

I'll get a local number and call you.

Okay? Bye.

Hold on to my jacket because it seems to be a very romantic movie.

-Really? -The guys adores the girl.

He's crazy about her.

They caught the guy and won't let him go until he confesses.

She ran out, and he ran after her.

Not after her, with her.

-No, he's alone. -Are you watching a different movie?

By the way, I can hear and understand everything.

If I have any questions, I'll ask you. Stop it.

Either be quiet or let's turn the lights on and listen to you.

That's what I thought. You're a moron.

-What? -A moron.

She's blind, and I have to explain the movie to her.

What if it were your sister? What should I do?

I have to do it. Come on.

Have a seat. Good to meet you.

You're so strange!

What's wrong with you?

Talk some sense into him, or I'll smack him.

-You scared him, didn't you? -He's totally trembling with fear.

You're so brave.

Now...

I can't get into fights when I'm with women.

-If I didn't have women with me... -That's what I thought.

It was impressive the way you yelled at him.

That's just who I am.

My only flaw is being so short-tempered.

Take a step down. Exactly. Hold on.

Come.

Put your left leg up.

-Okay. -That's it.

Exactly.

That's it.

Listen, I'll play a song that I love.

Consider it to be written for you.

Always with you

Even when we're apart

Always with you

You're ever on my mind

I always miss you

Even when we're together

Always with you...

He's right in front of you.

Don't tell me. I'll follow his smell.

Take it slow.

Who am I?

-You're my beloved. -What's that voice?

-Come. -No, I made a mistake.

-You-- -I'm blind, sir.

-It doesn't matter. -I swear I'm blind.

-I'm better off, but go away. -I don't mind.

-What's the matter, sir? -What?

-She didn't mean you. -She's mine.

-She's not yours. -There's no difference between us.

-Excuse us. -Take it easy. Come.

We're so sorry. Come.

-All right. -We're telling you she's not yours.

-What about you? -No!

-It doesn't matter which one of you. -Not this one, sir.

-Then it could be you. -Come on!

Will any piece of meat work for you?

-Go away. -Damn!

-He looks like Mohamad Sobky. -You're keeping them all to yourself.

When I do this, leave us alone.

Why would you talk to just anyone?

He wore your same cologne.

My cologne? He smelled like salted fish.

What a weirdo!

-How are you, Sarah? -I'm fine.

-Are you doing okay? -Yes.

-Were the roads busy? -Yes, I had trouble driving.

-I'm about to shave my beard. -What?

Nothing. I wanted to shave before going out, but I had no time.

Are you smoking shisha?

I'm going to the restroom.

Good idea.

Listen, take your time.

Look for a shower, a Jacuzzi, a sauna room and preferably...

have some constipation.

-You're trying too hard. -What do you mean?

You could've just told her to leave.

Are you sure you can't see?

I can feel.

-What zodiac sign are you? -I'm a Leo.

You're a Leo? I'm a Leo too.

-Really? -Oh, my God! I can't believe it!

-You know what that means? -What?

Nothing at all.

Not funny?

I know. I felt like it wasn't funny.

-May I ask you an annoying question? -I wish you would.

Haven't you had any relationships before?

I've had many relationships,

but I never found a woman who I could spend the rest of my life with.

You know? My dream is to get married, settle down, start a family,

and have a child, a little angel,

who will run to me and call me Dad.

Dad!

You know what I mean? I want to be single. I don't like children at all.

And women are so annoying.

What happened?

Nothing, a little bus just ran me over.

-But I'm back in one piece. -Welcome back.

Thanks. Now may I ask you an annoying question?

No.

How about a more annoying question?

If it's really, really annoying, then okay.

Have you ever been in a relationship?

Yes, once.

But he couldn't handle my disability.

I know it's difficult.

Don't call it a disability. You're perfect.

The best guy in the country would be lucky to have you.

And I'm the best guy at this table, by the way.

Did this happen to you because of an accident?

Sarah? Did I say something to upset you?

Where did Bassant go?

-She's in the restroom. -I have to go.

-Why? -Where is Bassant?

-Wait. -I have to go.

Hey! Are you blind?

I'm sorry. Yes, I'm blind.

-No, she's not. -What's wrong?

-Nour! Stop! -Stop it.

Enough.

Are you stupid? She's blind.

Don't you have a heart?

Why are you with this idiot? Come with me.

Just tell me why you left alone.

Why did you leave?

I told you a thousand times not everyone understands my circumstances.

I'm scared of going to places I don't know.

Okay, please don't cry. You will go out.

You can do anything.

You can even drive a rickshaw.

Are you still crying?

Listen, I swear if you don't smile right now, I'll get naked in the street.

Still crying? Fine!

-I'll take my clothes off. -Oh, he took his shirt off.

-There you go. -He took it off!

He took the shirt off! Oh, my God!

What are you doing? This is improper!

You don't understand, sir. I'm taking my pants off.

He took his pants off!

-There you go. -You're insane.

-Oh, my goodness! -Hey, handsome!

Oh, no!

-Here goes the boxers too. -What? No!

-No! -Look at me, people!

-No, you're crazy. -Here it goes.

I'll stop, believe me. What's this? Are you dressed?

You didn't take your clothes off, you punk! You were messing around!

Do you take me for a fool?

Good morning, Eslam. I brought the doctor with me.

Sobhi injection. Where's the addict?

Give it to me, injection!

Give it to us, injection.

-Come in, injection. -That's right.

-Come on, injection. -Stop! Listen, friends.

Using drugs requires certain manners. These are narcotic pills.

Once you pop a pill, you'll be on a train...

heading to the bottom of the three pyramids-- Khofu, Jaafar and Montaga.

I know those guys. They're from Giza.

-Are they good guys? -They're really high.

But the last time I took these pills, my dad got suspicious.

-What? -I don't know where to hide this.

I don't want my brother to get suspicious too.

Come on, guys. Put it wherever you want.

Look, if you hide them in a medicine box, there will be no suspicions.

-Behind the pole. -I have to go.

-I don't feel well. -You can go now.

-All right. -I'm not here by the way.

-Listen, stylist. -Yes.

One second. Smoke this joint quickly.

Right now.

Take this with these. Bon appétit.

See you later.

The towel.

I'm not feeling well, man.

What's this?

You can handle a weed cigarette with a cup of tea, but not an injection.

Seriously, the house is decorated beautifully.

-Do you like it? -So much.

-I'm glad. -Look what I got you.

Look.

It's a teddy bear. It looks just like you.

-What's this? -What?

-I know this teddy bear. -No, I just got it.

It smells weird because it's new.

So, why are you here?

What kind of question is that? Aren't you going to welcome me or thank me?

That's not what I meant. What did you come here to tell Shahd?

-I'll convince her to let you travel. -What exactly will you say?

When she comes, I'll say, "Good evening, uncle."

-Uncle? She's my sister. -Okay, "Good evening, sister."

-Yes? -Hello, Nour.

Hello, good evening, sister.

How are you? I got you a little gift.

A little red heart, because you're a spiteful family.

You all get so stressed when you're angry, like this pretty girl.

Like that pretty girl.

Okay, I'm going to make you some iced chocolate.

-Do you need any help? -Put this back.

-Should I help you? -I don't need help.

I can do a flip here. This is our house.

See that swimming pool? I won many competitions there.

-So many. -That's impressive.

God bless you.

So, Nour. What did you want to talk to me about?

I'm supposed to convince you to let her travel,

but I'm here for something else.

I'm in love with Sarah.

Yes, I love you. What do you want me to do?

You're making me nervous. You didn't tell me you were going to say this.

I wanted to say it in front of your sister because I don't like secrets.

Do you really love her or just pity her?

Pity her?

What a strange thing to say!

She's heard it from a lot of people.

I want you to trust me.

I love her so much.

And I'm a responsible man.

I do feel good about you now, and I think you're responsible.

Nour, will you do me a favor?

Me? Of course.

My friend is coming back to town tomorrow. Will you pick her up?

Pick her up? Of course. Where is she coming from?

Sallum. On your way back, bring my car from the agency.

You misunderstood me. I meant being responsible for her, not for you.

You're hilarious. We're going to become good friends.

I made iced chocolate for you.

How nice! She won a lot of swimming competitions. Beautiful.

Did you know you look pretty when you water the plants?

-Thanks. -How can you do it at night?

Can I even tell the difference? Are you kidding me?

-Can I help you? -No, watch out for the pit.

-Let me help you. -I know this place very well.

That's the problem. You've been watering the wire for a while.

I can make fun of myself. You can't make fun of me.

I'm not making fun of you.

-Uncle Ibrahim? -Yes?

-Where's the water? -Over there.

Last time I watered the small tree. It's the big tree's turn.

If my eyes want to see anyone but you

Look away, please.

I'll keep them closed

I won't listen to any sweet talk From anyone but you

Nour.

You're thinking of a prank, aren't you?

Good evening.

Good evening.

How did you know? My smell couldn't have reached you.

-I felt your presence. -I love it when you feel me.

What are you writing?

-Didn't I teach you? -Yes.

Give me your hand.

What's this?

-I. -Good, and this?

L, O.

And this?

-V, E. -Excellent, and this?

Y.

-"You." -Good, read it all.

I L-O-V-E Y-O-U... Afaf.

-So funny. -I love you.

-Exactly. -Exactly.

Exactly.

-Hello! -Get lost!

-Kissing at the club? -Stop it.

-It's Eslam, right? -Yes. Well done.

Where did I see you before?

It doesn't matter. Where's the note?

-Sarah. -Where is the note?

-Sarah. -I know. Where's the 100-pound note?

-Are you taking a shower? -Come on, I'm broke.

Here you go. I don't want to see you here again.

All right, give me that one too.

-I don't have enough for gas! -Use gasoline or whipped cream.

-Gorgeous! -I love him so much.

-He's kissing her, look! -Stop it, boy!

-Why are you kissing her? -Stop!

-He's making a scene! -Look, everyone.

Shut up, stop!

I'll bite you in the belly.

-He's kissing her on the mouth. -Shut up.

Be quiet.

-Listen. -What?

As friends, if I kiss her, I won't tell anyone about you.

-You want to kiss her? -Yes.

-You want to kiss her? -Don't be selfish.

-Selfish? Be quiet. -Why keep her to yourself?

-Shut up. Shut up! -Why?

As a start, how many children do you want?

-Shall we start with nine? -Nine?

Why are you surprised? That's just the beginning. I want a lot of children.

-I want one every day. -Every day?

Yes, I'm a real man.

Do you really love me?

What a strange question, Sarah!

-Is it love or sympathy? -Sympathy and pity and so on!

-No, I'm crazy about you. -Do you understand what you're in for?

When we have kids, I won't be able to do anything except give birth.

You'll change their diapers, help with their studies,

and tell me how beautiful they are.

If I try to change a diaper, I won't see a thing.

When their clothes get dirty, I'll wash them because they're my kids,

but I won't see any stains. You'll have to tell me.

I will be a really heavy burden.

I'm terrified that you may leave me or regret falling in love with me.

I'm sorry.

Why are you crying now?

I'm afraid that you'll leave me.

Leave you? I would leave anything in the world but you.

Don't be foolish.

Give Uncle a big hug and kiss now.

What's this?

-What's going on? -What am I seeing?

What's going on? What am I seeing?

The girl is prancing around She won't talk to me

Everyone is after her Why would she choose me?

-Listen. -Yes.

-Do I look good? -Yes, your wife will be a lucky woman.

Open your mouth. Are you stupid?

-I have a really bad headache. -Sorry to hear that.

Thank you.

-What? -You're getting married.

You'll be happy.

If you let your husband touch you, I'll kill you.

Listen, can your friend Ali in Italy find Tarek for us?

No, he's crazy. I don't talk to him anymore.

Get me one of these.

This? You can have it.

No, I want it in leather. I don't like this kind.

-In leather? -Yes.

Okay. As for Husam, I'll find out if he comes here.

Go now.

-Bye. -Bye.

Oh, no! Who took these pills?

Sobhi, it's Eslam. Listen.

My brother took two pills of my drugs.

Shawkat! Hey, Shawkat!

I've missed you. Tell me, what's new in your weed case?

Weed? Get out of the cars. Both of you.

Search the cars.

What's the matter?

-What? -Are you drunk?

-I want to use the toilet. -Why don't you do what I do?

-What? -Leave an empty bottle in the car.

You can use it whenever you need a toilet.

He's drinking from it and nothing happened to him.

Excuse me!

You can go.

You assumed the worst about us.

Would a man who looks like me smoke weed?

-You look hilarious. -Speaking of laughing,

-would you like to hear a joke? -Okay.

A guy goes to a mental hospital and finds all the patients going,

"We're popcorn, we're popcorn. We're popcorn, we're popcorn."

One of them was sitting alone, so he asked why he wasn't jumping with the others.

He said, "Leave me alone. I'm stuck to the bottom of the pot."

-Is it over? -Yes.

Goodbye, sir.

I want to tell you one last thing.

Stop talking and stop wearing this fez. It's getting you in trouble.

-Where did all that come from? -Arrest him.

You don't need to do anything.

Let me prove your case. Here you go.

Anything else?

-Thank you, Ahmad. -You're welcome.

I needed a place for tonight.

Tonight? This will send you to jail for 15 years.

-Thanks. -Sure.

Ahmad, do me a favor.

The fez, the zither and the mustache, give them to my mom.

Tell her to sell everything if she needs money.

Everything? You're a good son, Shawkat.

-But you're a bad friend. -Why?

-You said you'd put your neck on the line. -My neck hurts.

That's okay then. Let's go, guys. Where's the police van?

-Bye, Shawkat. -Bye, babe.

What's the matter?

What's this?

I'll tell you something, but pretend I didn't tell you.

Please don't do anything to your brother.

Eslam's been hiding his drugs from you in the medicine box.

It's the medicine you took before you left.

Don't hurt your brother.

-Get up! What's this? -Is this how you wake me up?

-I wanted to be your friend. -Stay out of it.

Stop acting like a big brother! Don't hit me.

-You have to wake up! -Leave me alone.

Don't do this to your brother, please!

You're going to destroy yourself, idiot!

Enough! He's your brother!

-Stop, I'm talking to you. -Stop it!

Understand my feelings for once in your life.

That broken record again?

You got kicked out of the club!

You can either be a football star or a weed dealer, right?

You have to stop.

Try to understand me. I love you. I'm worried about you.

Your friends won't do you any good.

I want you to be a respectable person.

Do you think you're a musician?

You're just a singer!

-Get out! -No! Please!

-You're brothers! -Get out!

Get out.

-No, that's your brother. -I'm not leaving.

-Out! -Please! Please!

Get out! You go inside.

-Please. -Go inside.

He's your brother! Have mercy!

Eslam!

Oh, my God!

I didn't want to hit you.

You got physical first.

You grew up and your fist got so strong.

I know how you feel.

You lost one thing. It doesn't mean you lost everything.

Get up and stop this nonsense.

Esso.

Don't gaze at me with those pretty eyes.

Am I supposed to give in?

Am I your girlfriend?

All right, I give in.

Come with me.

Come, sweetheart.

Sweetheart.

Life is good. Put it on, or you'll catch a cold.

-What does this place remind you of? -What?

The day we got engaged, honey.

What's wrong with you?

Do you want to hear a joke?

A guy goes to buy beans, but the shop is closed.

-Good one. -I have a better one.

A guy goes to buy sausages, but the shop is locked.

Get your hands off me.

Get away from me. Give me this jacket.

You don't deserve it.

Put me down, you rascal!

No!

I'm going to kiss you all night.

What do you want to drink?

What do you have?

Dr. Samir, take good care of Sarah.

It's the first time she'll be traveling without me. Please look after her.

Don't worry about her. She's like a daughter to me. Of course.

Besides, she'll be with her friends, and they all care about her.

Have a seat. I'll do some paperwork and be right back.

-Okay. -Excuse me.

-What's taking Nour so long? -Who am I?

You're the one I love

I came all the way from Lebanon

Lebanon? With that voice?

I'm Mr. Lebanon. Are you stupid?

-Mister what? -Lebanon. Don't you use Facebook?

Facebook? Get out of here.

-I came for what's mine. -What?

-She is mine. -How?

-Let's go to Omdurman. -It's a weird creature.

-Go away. -I'll get you a visa.

-You're crazy. -I'll take her to Omdurman.

-Teach him a lesson. -This won't work with me.

Do you understand? You want to have it all.

This is unfair.

-Get out of here. -You're cruel.

-Did you forget the charger? -No.

-Who's that? No way! -No way!

-Do you know her? -I've missed you.

-I've missed you so much. -Me too.

-I can't believe it! -Neither can I.

Unbelievable! Seriously, I've missed you like crazy.

-I don't believe you. -I swear I've missed you.

Forgive me, God. Is this your new job?

-I work here. -It's a very nice place.

This is Taha and Karim, my friends. This is Nuha.

The girl I told you about, the one who chose what was best for her.

-That's me. -The opportunist.

-Hi. -How are you?

-I'll call you and come to your room. -Okay.

-Bye. -I'll be waiting.

No, don't come to the room. I'll find a spot for us.

-What? -So the guys can have fun.

-I'll be waiting for you. -Bye.

What's wrong?

I'm dying.

Tell me, what do you like the most about a man?

Start with his personality, then his body and then his looks.

I like him to be a real man.

To embrace me, be jealous of other men and make me feel safe.

That's me.

-What about the body? -I like wide shoulders,

-a confident walk. -Yes.

You know what I mean? I should feel that he's good looking.

What about the face?

That's very important, but not to me because I won't see it.

But he must be kind and treat me gently.

My turn. What I like the most about a girl's personality...

is her waist.

-When I put my hands around... -Really?

No, seriously. I like a girl to be kind and loving.

The first thing I think about in a serious relationship

is whether she can be the mother of my children, like when I saw you.

My first thought was that you're good for nothing at all.

I'm kidding. When I first saw you,

I felt that you're the only one who can have my children.

By the way, I got you a gift.

I know you'll like it because I have great taste.

What do you think?

Wow! The color is amazing!

I know you like these cheap things.

-Are you Egyptian? -Egyptian and fun.

-It'll look good on you. -Thank you. Keep it.

-Welcome to Lebanon. -Thank you so much.

It's a pleasure to have you. Did you take a tour?

Not yet, but we will.

-What does that mean? -To walk around.

Go out? We haven't taken a tour yet, but we'll take a long tour.

Yes, you have to visit all the sights of Lebanon.

I know. Lebanon is known for its scenery.

-It's beautiful. -And you too.

-You have to see everything. -It's fantastic, wonderful.

-I'll leave you now. -And the food-- makdous, fatoosh,

-shish barak, tabbouleh. -I wish you a great stay.

-Kibbeh, makdous... -Nice to meet you.

-Bye. -...Kushari.

That's it!

What just happened?

We're in Lebanon, my love.

I can almost see the place through the smell and the sounds.

I also feel like I can see you.

-I saw you in my dreams. -Really? How did I look?

You were white with blond hair.

It's not really blond. It's blondish-brown.

And you had blue eyes.

All right, Sarah. You obviously had a dream about Hussein Fahmy the actor.

I better leave.

I don't want to shock you. I don't usually deceive people.

There's something I want to do but I feel shy.

It's okay. You can kiss me. I won't get mad.

Come on.

The beard looks good on you.

Do you know what I feel like doing?

-What? -I want to run.

You want to run?

By the way, you can run, and I'll run with you.

-Really? -I'll wear a blindfold,

and we'll both run and hope for the best.

-You're crazy. -Don't be afraid!

I'm all you get and my love is serious

It's me or nobody, there are no excuses

I'll decide where and when And everything else

No matter who talks to you Pretend you don't hear him

This is how it is

There's nothing left to be said

You never know, I could go crazy

If I see you with someone else

I won't let it go

I'm here now, the old days are gone

You can't even shake anyone's hand Without my permission

Forget about your old friends And relatives, or I'll lose my mind

No matter who talks to you Pretend you don't hear him

This is how it is

There's nothing left to be said

You never know, I could go crazy

If I see you with someone else

I won't let it go

Hi, sweet Reem. Is Sarah here?

-She's inside. -Perfect.

One of your pranks.

Let's dance!

Mothers' prayers are the best!

Come on, Hiba, dance!

-Dance with us, Sonya! -I love you, Suzi.

Watch out!

Be quiet. It's Ahmad. Hello.

Your friend is really disgusting.

-What? -He's just like a kid.

-Okay, man. -Well.

Hello, Ahmad. I've missed you.

No, I told you I quit all that. I'm fine.

I just woke up. I'm alone doing nothing.

-Come on, you... -What sounds? I'm watching a movie.

-Come on, Semsem! -Come on!

-Don't ruin my mood. -Come have some fun.

I've looked for this leather necklace for Eslam for four hours,

although he doesn't deserve it.

I'll wear it. Listen, guys.

Do you want to go out with me and Sarah?

Get some rest. Weren't you out with her just now?

Why are you so depressing? It's none of your business.

You know what the problem is?

-Sorry, Kimo. -Don't worry, man.

All I'm trying to do is make her feel like she's not missing out on anything.

The best feeling I've had with this girl...

is knowing she'll be the mother of my children.

I never thought of just dating her or passing time with her.

-I love her so much. -How emotional!

Of course, I have deep emotions.

Emotions?

Open the door.

-Sorry, Kimo. -Don't worry, man.

It might be Sarah.

Don't worry, Kimo. Sorry, my man.

-Hi? -Hi, you look beautiful.

Thanks. Where's our singer?

He's still looking for a spot.

-Can I leave this here for him? -Sure.

-Come on in. -Okay.

Thank you so much, darling.

I was about to laugh. I bet she's going to bring me many presents.

-Sorry, Kimo. -Don't worry, man.

Maybe she thought because you treat her like--

Thought what? Sorry, Kimo.

She can't see straight. Treating a girl well doesn't mean I love her.

Look, at first, I sympathized with her because of her circumstances,

but when I got to know her, I knew she was being exploitative,

and you know what that means.

What's wrong, Eslam?

What happened to you?

Wake up, Eslam.

Get up. Faten! Faten!

What's going on?

Oh, my God! What happened?

What's wrong with him? Eslam, what did you do to yourself?

What did he do?

Listen, if Eslam calls, don't answer. I'm mad at him.

Sarah.

Sarah!

Sarah!

Get up, brother.

Why did you hurt yourself like this?

Wait, Sarah.

Why are you acting like this? Talk to me.

Where are you going alone with your bag? Are you crazy?

Please stay away from me.

-Where are you going? -It's none of your business.

Come with me.

-Come with me. -Please.

Please.

-Yes! -Come and save your brother, Ahmad!

Come right away!

Eslam is dying!

Take him to the hospital. Hurry up.

The airport.

ARRIVALS, TERMINAL 1

October Hospital.

The last thing he said is that he loved you very much,

and he asked you not to be mad at him.

Why are you talking about bad things, Touna?

Don't say that. He's fine.

There's nothing wrong with him. I know what he's doing.

He likes to scare us, and I never get scared.

I know he's mad at me too. Aren't you, Eslam?

You know I love you and worry about you.

You can't be mad at me, right? Look what I got you.

The necklace you wanted.

Here's a new one. Remember my necklace? I got you a leather one.

Just like you asked. Look at it.

Eslam, talk to me. Talk to me.

Come on, get up.

You said you wouldn't leave me.

See? You don't love me.

What are you doing?

-Get up, Eslam! -No.

Come with me. Let go of me!

-Let go! -Stop it.

Let go of me! Dad, Mom!

I wrote the song I want you to compose music for. It's on the piano.

When you return from your trip, start working on it.

I'll take this trip with you because I need to get away.

I don't want to think about the surgery.

I don't want to get attached to a new hope.

Tell me, Sarah. How are things in Egypt?

Are Mehwar Road and Lebanon Street still always blocked?

And more importantly, is Al Ahly still winning matches?

Is Aboutrika doing okay? Then what's the problem?

Like the first time with everything good...

I let my guard down and closed my eyes.

Or didn't close them. It doesn't matter.

I've always dreamed of meeting my prince charming.

Someone who would accept my flaws and problems before my good traits.

But I discovered it was a false dream.

The only person who can accept you for who you are is you.

No, I think true love makes you overlook the flaws.

You may even see them as good qualities.

Maybe you chose the wrong guy.

You're obviously going to say it's not about me but about my choice

and that one day I'll meet someone to love me and be there for me.

All that pointless talk.

I don't understand why people think that way. We should always have hope.

I've faced many difficulties in my life, but I'm still hopeful.

Why did we make a drama out of it?

Anyway, forget about it.

I'm still young and I have my whole life ahead of me.

I'm hopeful.

I wish I could throw you a big wedding and sing and dance.

Eslam wanted that too.

But it's fine. That's our fate.

Sayed and I have agreed not to have a wedding.

-No wedding? -No.

You will have a wedding and be happy and change out of these mourning clothes.

I've been saving this money for your new house.

-I won't take any money. -That's wise.

-What exactly is wise? -We'll both use the house.

-It's hers. -It's for both of us.

All right, God willing.

-I won't take it. -Touna, you're my sister.

Take it.

God bless you.

I'm going to miss you.

I'm going to miss you too.

Sarah, I know you believe in God.

You must know that God may have a wonderful surprise for us today.

But he may have another plan that we don't understand.

In all cases, God always chooses the best for us.

No way! I can see.

I can see for real.

-Five! -I'd be happy with three.

Hello! Hello!

I wanted to be cured just to see you.

Do you grow older or keep getting younger?

You must be Dr. Tarek, right?

-That's me. -What's all this?

You're a handsome blue-eyed man! I don't like that at all.

Glory be to my Lord, Most High.

Thank God...

I've missed you, man! How are you doing?

I went through a lot. I got robbed. I'll tell you about it when I see you.

I'm coming to Egypt in two weeks. I want you to pick me up at the airport.

I'll get back to you with the flight number and all that.

I have an amazing surprise for you.

Hello, kid!

-Shehta! There you are! -Hi, love.

Haven't you changed at all?

You're obviously the surprise.

Of course not. Sarah is the surprise.

This is Sarah, my fiancée. This is my longtime friend Ahmad.

I'll go get the luggage.

Hi, how are you?

Well, Sarah and I are living a fairy tale.

We've agreed if our first child is a boy, we'll name him Ahmad, after you.

-Hello, Uncle Hamed. -Welcome home, ma'am.

-Thanks. -How are you?

Bye, silent guy.

-Are you drunk or something? -No, I'm a little tired.

Go home and we'll talk at night. I have a lot of things to tell you.

-Okay. -See you.

I planted all these trees. I can't believe I'm here.

I feel like looking at this forever.

I came to see your friend, though I have a feeling he can't stand me.

Why do you say that? Of course not.

He's an artist like you, and artists are moody.

I lost all my friends' numbers. How can I get them back?

We're in the time of Facebook.

You can find people you knew a hundred years ago there.

That's right.

I left you 20 missed calls! I thought I'd see you every day when I got back.

You don't even call to check on me.

He was my closest friend. I don't know why he became a jerk.

When I left-- Wait here. I'll go see Eslam. Where is he?

Eslam! Is he sleeping?

Eslam!

I got you and Eslam some nice shirts.

And I got you the cologne you like.

-No, don't spray it. -Why not?

-Is it the wrong one? -I'm serious, Tarek.

Don't pressure me.

-What's wrong, Ahmad? -Nothing.

I'm sorry.

Forgive me.

I know you noticed that I've changed, but...

What you don't know is that Eslam is dead.

I didn't want to give you the news, but you have to know.

He loved you very much.

Are you behind this desk only to give my position to your undeserving son?

This is why people like me can never get their rights in this country.

-Get out. -I won't let it go.

I will sue you and get back what's mine no matter what.

Would you like something to drink, or do you want to hurry back home?

Why are you so cold?

And your father is dishonorable because he gave you what was mine.

Security!

Are you kicking me out? Why? Because I'm demanding my rights?

This is unfair! I will expose you!

I will expose you and get my rights back by law!

That's enough! Don't you have a heart?

What are you made of?

Hello.

-Who is it? -Is Dr. Tarek here?

-No, what's the matter? -Do you know where he is?

-No, I don't. Who are you? -Don't ask.

Let's go to his fiancée's house.

Hey!

The number you dialed is turned off or unavailable.

You can send a voice mail by pressing--

Yes?

Is Tarek here?

He's not here. He called and said he was okay, and then turned his phone off.

Good to know. I just wanted to check on him.

Sorry to disturb you.

Nour.

It's true I didn't recognize your name, your voice,

or your cologne...

but my feelings for you can never be wrong.

I couldn't help it. I don't know how it happened.

I just couldn't believe you did that to me.

Why did you do that to me?

There are many things I wish I could tell you, but I can't.

Because we have no right to stand here together.

All I need you to know is that I never offended you.

Anything bad you're thinking of was a misunderstanding.

I'm the happiest person in the world

because God gave you your eyesight back.

My love for you was real.

Was?

Tarek is the greatest man you can be with.

Why did you get startled? I only blew in your ear.

What's wrong?

Tarek, I have to tell you something important,

but I need you to understand and believe me.

You do seem troubled.

Get dressed and let's go have dinner at a fancy restaurant.

No, I have to tell you first. It's really important.

No problem. Get dressed and we'll talk when we're out.

What's this?

I swear I didn't know.

AHMAD

-Where are you? -At the theater. You--

What's wrong?

I expected this, but I didn't know you were stupid.

I am stupid because I never thought you could do this to me.

I kept the secret to protect you. I swear I didn't mean to hurt you.

You should've told me and let me choose!

How could I? You said you were going to name your child after me,

the most honest guy you knew. You made it harder.

That won't fool me.

No matter what you do, I won't fight back.

We've always defended each other and never had a fight.

Nour, you're going on stage in two minutes.

Okay...

Tarek.

I'm your brother, fool.

Sadly, sometimes a brother can be a lowlife.

I'm glad you're all right.

Where's Tarek?

I know I'm the only one you'll listen to if I ask you to stay, right?

And I'm even more sure I'm the only one who can convince you to stay.

Didn't you say if you couldn't achieve your dream here, you wouldn't be a man?

This means you're not a man.

-Are you talking to me, boy? -Yes, I am.

Do you know what it means when you and Sarah say the same thing?

-What? -Nothing.

-Welcome back! -That's the spirit!

That's right!
