02x04 - It's a Family Affair!

[bunniefuu]

Bonjour, mes amis!

What time is the photographer coming?

Uh uh uh, yeah. Uh,
the photographer will come around noon...

I pushed it to 1 pm. It's better that way.

Why would she need to
come that early anyway?

-Okay. And the props?
-Yes, yes, yes. I know

about that, I know about that!

Uh, yes, about the props...

I arranged with Nadia that she will
get some props, and Abu Reham...

Give me a chance! Give me a chance! Ufff!!

I've changed with Nadia a few
things that I didn't like

Hey, Nadia. Are you going to bring all

the missing props with you?

Yea, boss. We're all set

Boss!??

Under my roof? I've been hacked!

Ok, Nadia!

Where's my bag?

Yes, Montasir. Listen.

It's good we made a group without him,

so I can vent!

What's with that man?
Is he glued to his phone?

He never sleeps?

He doesn't even give me a-a
chance to speak! To answer!

And why is he making decisions alone?
What for?

Wrong group, Ola.

Okay. fine.

Alright I get it! Wrong group!

Next time,
make sure you're on the right group.

On another note,
still no word from Nesrine?

No, but don't worry

I have a plan. She's not answering...

But I... have a plan

Bye

You're still in your pj's?

Are you kidding me?

What's wrong with you?

I'll...I'll run an errand and
be back in half an hour

if you're not ready by then,
have your boss, ha?have your boss,

send you a chauffeured car!
Laugh, you little ingrates!

"Boss" indeed!

-What's up with her?
-She's weird.

Oh!! What a shame!

I'll increase the margin...

...sorry.

And you have a fly here.

-Okay, one more time.
-Come on, Ola, forgive him...yapaparapapa.

I mean,
exactly... You were already back, Leithy.

One second, we go back then?

As we were? Like how?

-And... action!
-Half an hour! When I get back I want to...

I want to, I want to.

Has anyone seen my car keys, guys?

-Good morning, Hazem
-Good morning, dear.

Mmm

Good morning.

Good morning!

What?

What? I want my car keys.
Give me my car keys please.

Mom didn't tell you?

Mom! Didn't you tell her?

-Tell me what?
-I...need to go somewhere.

It's work.

-Work?
-Mmmm.

-No kidding!
-Mmm... how would I know!

Good luck. Where?

It's still just talk.

In a coffee shop.

Where do you think "business
deals" take place?

In offices?

You're ancient, Ola!

-Sure, dear. True.
-Very.

Ok, dear. Today I have the
rebranding photoshoot for Second Chance.

-Mmm
-Really? Congratulations sis.

-Thank you, dear.
-Mmm... how would I know!

And the locations is
very far, so I can't...

Mmm... how would I know!

-Yeah
-So please, can I have my

-car keys, just for today?
-Mmm... how would I know!

Did you tell me? You didn't. I told mom,
she didn't tell you. Not my fault. So?

What can I do?

Momm!!

-Okay, listen, Let's meet halfway.
-Mmm

-Mmmm
-Fine, I call a taxi, and you please...

Take my car, but at 1 o'clock sharp you

have to drive them over.
All the work is with them.

-Okay?
-Okay

Bring them to the location
that I'll send you now

Okay?

Okay, 1, 1:15. Thereabouts, Ola...

Why Am I calling you,
Suha, dear? What do you think? Ha?

So you can convince him.

To accept my apology.
I called him a million times,

he's not answering!

What can I do? There she is!

-Uh... Listen, call him... then call me
-I'll try to call him and see. But

tell me, Did you find me a husband?

What husband?! Wrong timing for you!
Terrible timing for me!!

Listen dear.
Don't depend on me for a husband.

I'll let you down!

I have to run now... literally go running!

OK, bye, bye!

Nesrine! Nesrine... I can see you!

Nesrine!

Don't pretend you didn't see me!

Nesrine!
Nesrine! You know how I feel about sports!

Please stop!

Nesrine!

-Nesrine!
-What do you want?

I want to live! Thank you!

What? Are you gonna be angry with
us for the rest of our living days?

Possibly

I called you a million times!

We've been trying to reach you,
but you never answer. What more can we do?

We tried to explain to HadI

Weren't you... there with us too?

Karim surprised us.
Who could've guessed he's

offer to be a partner?

If you apologise 3 million times,
Ola, I won't accept it. So there.

Nesrine! Come back, Nesrine.

There's no Second Chance without you,
sweetheart.

Sure there is.

You guys are fine without me.
You don't need me

Who told you we were fine
and that we're still going...

We're not fine.Yeah, we're okay,
yeah,I guess, and Karim is good...

and Karim is good looking...

Is good at what he does,
but he's a real dictator

And Montasir is a yes-sir guy

Montasir is repenting for their childhood,
I guess.

I need you Nesrine, Nesrine...

Only your interests, Ola...just yours.

-Not just my interests. For both of us...
-For both of us!

You mean you're done with Second Chance?

Seriously?

Look here...

Okay, look, sweetheart.

-I'm very sorry.
-What the hell?!

Begging is not my style,
and this is now over

I apologised a million times.
This is a million and one,

and you're coming with me.

Coming with you where?
I'm not going anywhere

Coming with you,
really? I'm not going anywhere.

We're not sh**ting the new Second Chance
campaign without you. Where's your car?

The car's this way

Okay fine, don't push.

You want to make up, run!

No I won't!

-Run, Ola
-No, I won't

You need to shower, huh.
You're sweaty, you can't go like that!

-Here we are!
-Here we are.

Welcome back!

Do you get it?

-A Second Chance at life
-Yeah, meaning what?

I mean uh...uh... Instead of... uh... he... uh

Karim said we should say
we're not expanding

like this...no, like that, like that.

Yes, he said that.

Yeah right... like that

-Like what?
-Horizontally

I mean,
our clients like our organic lotions...why?

Because they like nature.

Mmm

So we will offer more
things from the earth.

-Yeah like what?
-Not just lotions.

Like for instance...we can supply honey.

-Mmmm
-Or give them natural herbs

They can eat healthy food

From the earth, pesticide-free.

-Mmmm
-They could wear cotton... not synthetic

-Mmmm
-Get it?

Is this Second Chance's idea, or Karim's?

Well...

-Karim is Second Chance...
-He is Second Chance?

Nesrine, dear. We are Second Chance.

We are Second Chance!

Why didn't you do our sign?

Anyway... We are expanding, expanding! Look,
we have natural herbs grown on this land.

We changed the packaging.
Show her the packaging!

Yeah we sent it to her a hundred times
and called her a thousand times,

but she didn't answer

Her hair is blocking her ears

It grows sideways!

-Funny, really funny.
-Uh... enough!

And we have quinoa.

What?

-Yes, yes
-Quinoa. They're calling it the new gold

-Like here for example
-Ah, one moment.

-Vous êtes en ret*rd! En ret*rd!
-You guys are late! You're late!

Reda!

Reda?!

You told him that? You traitors, traitors!

Whoah!!

Now the team is complete.
Come on, follow me.

Extremely married. He's super married!

-No worries, sis. anytime.

-You're welcome

because over here is crowded and noisy,
huh? Okay?

-Yes

No, don't worry. We'll make you proud.

-I doubt it
-Ola

-A proper greeting! My darling!
-My dearest.

Hazem, welcome home.

-Nice, right?

friend and drag it on, huh?

Ola!

-That's Hadi, right? Hello!

-Enchante

A pleasure to meet you,
sir. How are you, all good?

Hope everything is fine

I just have question.
Where do you intend to put the hotel pool?

I have a suggestion if you'll allow me.

We can put it over there.

Because you have some shade and some sun...

And it will also overlook the pyramid

-Mmm
-I work in hospitality

Right. That's great, great stuff,
but... Did they start the photoshoot?

Yeah, but I...I need you...

You need me?

Yes

-Now you need me?
-Yes, what, Yeah I do

You can't imagine the amount
of comments asking about you,

since you appeared on my page

Look. They think we're sisters

-For real?
-Yeah,I told you, just look!

If you could just work on it a little bit...

We'll make a fortune

So, it has nothing to do with you guys...

You did a great job,
but...it's not working for the brand

Bye, Ola. I'm so sorry So
we'll have to find something else

-No, no just a second
-Thank you for coming

Well, maybe... hopefully next time

-Thank you
-Next time?? Bye? Why are they leaving?

You sent them away?

Would you please stop deciding on
things on your own? Unbelievable!

Ols... the brief is wrong.
It's all wrong They don't fit the brand

We need something different

Something different? Then why did we...

why did we get a professional photographer
and paid her a whole lot of money? Ha?

And got professional models.
Let them do their thing!

You're unbelievable!

Nadia, Zeina...

Today you'll be the models. Okay?

Find some outfits and get ready quickly,
please.

The road to glory! That's it! Finally!

Nadia and Zeina?

-Yes
-Models?

Yes. Your problem is you only see on way,
one solution!

No, there's another way
and another solution.

What other way do you mean?

Nadia and Zeina?
They're the models of the new campaign?

Yes

-Why not?
-What outfits can they

choose? What will they wear?

Shouldn't Nadia ask dad first?

Hurry up!

No dear, she shouldn't

I'm her mother and I say...
yes find an outfit,

Nadia. You have a problem with that?

Uh...Is that Salim?

Yes, but these are not his ideas.
He's influenced by Hazem these days.

See how I pronounced your name correctly?
Salim?

Have you ever modelled before?

-No, but I have worked in theatre.
-Great. Then today you'll be a model

Mmm

It's almost the same thing!

Really?

Yeah... just take off your shoes

And come back

-Okay
-Yeah right...now you don't

need to call and ask daddy ha?

-Kokla, I'll tell you what we'll do
-Yeah, okay.

We'll start again

But could you please let me
know what the new plan is?

The plan is for you to change your outfit,
and be a model too.

-Me?
-Yes!

No, no, that won't do at all!

Why not?

I'm not pretty...

I mean... I... I... Because I'm not ready!

I'm not ready. I'm not a model.
I have nothing ready, I have no outfit...

You're silly!

Did he say silly?

Excuse me?

Yes. You are just you.

You're attractive as is! Great!

Perfect

Come on Get changed

Is he colour blind?

And "silly" is not ok!

No! It's cool...

From him...
yeah...l Not in general, so I'll object!

But not nowi

So aren't you going to change too?

Kind of like a taste of your own medicine?

Uh...and you think this face will do?

Yeah like this? Yes This is good but...

Oh I see. Now he's the one who's silly!

We've gone beyond being colour blind!

So where is his mrs.?

of bathroom is not nuts?

Yes, actually you're right!

-It was nothing

Sorry

Electric!

Intense!

Uh... good night

Bonne nuit

Glorious deal!

Let the record show that my

Is finally making a career shift.
Just don't forget who was behind it!

Yes, that's very nice, okay?

-Look.
-You look to this side, alright?

Okay,boss. Yeah? Keep looking.

Oh wow!! Not even five minute! So eager!!

This will go on all night?

I'll have dad come pick me up

Thanks! Hmmm...

Okay

You hang up first.

Tell him I said hi!

Lulu says hi.

He says "hi".

Okay, Hadi. You hang up!

No, you hang up!

Should I hang up?

I mean...

Bye.

Finally, finally, Nesrine!

You can't image how much I miss us!

I mean,
Montasir can't understand everything.

Is there anything he does understand?

Taste this.
It's Second Chance's new Açai berry tea

Good heavens!

-The what now?
-Açai berry tea

And whos' going to buy that?

Oh wow! Even mom loves it!

So tell me, what about our main line of

making and selling lotions?

We're going to close that down
and open a herbal tea shop or what?

No way, Reda! You think I would do that?

-Never!
-For every wild idea Karim suggests...

I come up with a new
product in cosmetics. Yeah!

Oh, really? Sure! You have to
try our new Açai berry cream.

An amazing antioxidant!
It'll be a bestseller.

You'll see. You need it actually.

-So this Açai will remain with us forever
-Mmmm...

You see...
Karim...Karim's difficult. Not easy.

He's very difficult.

But he opened our eyes
to new concepts at work

Yeah... he... he gets it!

He... he taught me a lot of things

You know what we were like?

He was right.

Like someone having a palace...

But confined in one small room,

Leaving the whole palace
and using just one room.

It's really strange.

You know at the start...

You can't...

Taste it or swallow it or even savour it,
but once you give it a chance...

Mmmm

Mmmm

It grows on you

Right. Now you get what he's like

That's exactly Karim!

It's not obvious, but he's nice

I meant the Açai berry tea.

-It's very nice
-Yeah

-Very.
-Nice, yeah

Fine, I'm sold.

When do we open the store?

The store is ready,
just waiting for your return

We couldn't have opened it without you,
Reda.

Leaving the work aside for now.

It seems that...

the things are going well with...

Hadi

That's true

You've no idea.

The lengths I had to go
to make him forgive me!

Seriously!

I can't believe I lived to see
the day you apologised to a man!

Mmm

Weren't you the one with the famous...

"Never, ever!"

No man is ever right! Never!

That's in the past.

Before I fell in love.

Love can humiliate you, Lulu

-Humiliates...
-Mmm

Mmm

So now I guess I'm stuck with Hadi.

My destiny! Ok, fine. No problem at! All

I really have no problem with him, as
long as you're happy. That's fine! I adore

-him!
-Mmm

But if he messes with you,
I'll teach him what's what!

I... I can be fierce too!

Are you serious?

My store opens tomorrow and
you bring me here...urgently...

To throw water balloons?

From our old building?

Exactly... that's it

You're so stressed all of the time,
and I want to help you relax.

Didn't we used to have fun doing this?

Come on

Long ago, Hazem. Long ago dear

When we were young. I'm olde.r

I can't throw water balloons
on the people off our roof!

It's easy. Make sure no one's passing

by and throw them.

Lighten up... Go on Lulu

Enjoy!

Come on!

You know what, I really need to let off

-some steam with something.
-That's it, Lulu.

Just like old times!

-Go on, do it... balloon away
-There's no one there

I swear I've missed your laugh.

Throw it.

Make sure there's no one.

-All clear
-Here.

Make sure no one's there.

-I love it!
-I swear I've missed your laugh!

Here, have fun.

That's amazing!

I really missed this game!

I had forgotten it!

Can't we stay young an not grow up?

Like, having no worries,
or responsibilities,

or work that never ends.

I...uh...

I know I wasn't there for
you through the divorce

But it doesn't mean that
I don't feel for you.

I just... Get flustered,

And don't know what to say.

But I swear to you,
I always asked mom about you.

Yeah,yeah, I know.

Now, you throw that one. Go.

Okay.

Check first!

Okay.

You're right to be mad

I feel like I let you down.

You know something?

You surprised me!

Mmm I swear I just thought...

"Ola is finished!
Without Hisham she'll fall to pieces!"

But frankly...

You're no longer that' weak' Ola

Well, there was no other way, huh?

Soheir doesn't fix things
for me like with you.

You always think the worst of me!
Always the worst, Lulu

Just try me!

Didn't I promise to help with the kids,
and I did?

Mmm? I'm doing it.

By the way, on the subject of the kids

I wanted to ask you about that. What
exactly do you talk to Salim about these

-days?
-Hmm?

Nothing specific.
He needs a father figure.

Too many women in the house, no offense.

Mmm

And on the subject of help...

I can help you at work,
if you want, I mean if...

Hazem: Sorry, I didn't mean it.

We're sorry! We're really sorry!

Ola, please. Please

I beg you.
Never mind that. Forget it...Please...

I need to work. I have looked everywhere

but there's nothing!

It's really difficult!
I swear to God, it's really difficult!

Hazem we talked about this before,
haven't we?

Work and family don't mix!

That's not true.

Your mother...

What's that...??

You used her as the face
of your brand hmm?

Without even asking her.

And Nadia? That's child labour, right?

-I don't even pay, Nadia
-Even worse! That's sl*very.

Hazem, that's not up to me alone.

I have a partner,
and he's not easy! You saw him!

So ask him

Ask him.
Did you ask him? Maybe he'll agree.

Maybe God will make him agree For my sake.

I swear I'm desperate!

Please...

I beg you!

I'll ask him, okay.

God bless you! The best Lulu in the world!

I said I'll ask him!

Yeah, ask him!.That's good enough for me.
You'll ask him. That's fine, fine with me

Can we go?

-Ok, okay, good

-Oh my!!
-Look at our boosters-

I love this lice-comb!

-Yeah
-Does it come free with the merchandise?

-No, it costs 500 pounds.

-It's good luck, good luck

-I'm an expert on

-sweetness if you need any help?
-Come on, please!

He doesn't work here.

Honestly, Lulu, the store is amazing!
Beautiful. I'm really super proud of you

Lulu, by the way... Did you talk to Karim

about me working here?

Yeah, yes. I gave him
an idea...an idea...but I'll...

Yeah?

-So you'll follow up?
-Right away

Thank you dear... God bless you sis

Non, mais bien sûr.
Non, non, je comprends très bien.

Oui, oui, oui.

Non, ça y est,
j'ai réservé le billet pour

la semaine prochaine.

Ok, ok, ok maman.

Je t'embrasse.

I heard the word "billet"...
you're going back?

Yes, I mean...

The store is good, the campaign is on,
and I have important things there

We're coming with you, right?

What?

To learn the trade...

Uh... Sorry,
Karim, could you come with me for

just a moment... I need you inside.

Need me inside?

Okay.

What's with the smile?

That's a smile to store

To store?

-Yeah
-To store

For much later?

-Ok, fine then. Till later then
-Lost chance!

Funny, funny!

So...shall we?

Yeah, sure

-To store...
-Later...

Hey, Karim... how are you?

-Chill... okay
-I'm fine... fine

I'm on it... going...

Très bien. Très bien.

Hi

-Hi
-Everyone's outside, in the garden

Please...

Need me to sweep?

No, of course not.

Not to sweep! No way.
Look, I...uh... want to ask you for a favour.

-But don't ask me why, please, okay?
-Sure.

If my brother... Hazem...Hazem...

Yeah.

If he asks to works with us,
I'll say yes and you say no

Okay?

And mother, Suheir...Suheir...

Yeah.

If she asks you where is your wife,
tell her she left...for France.

What wife?

Your wife. Your wife.

Well, you know I'm not married.

Yes yes, I know

So why pretend I'm married?

To save your from Suheir!

Karim, you don't understand, Suheir...

I live in a nuthouse!
It's not a normal house!

So if she finds out you're single...
do you know what she'll do?

She'll totally focus on you, and on me,
and won't stop until she marries us off!

You want that?

Uh...

Fine

-Okay?
-Uh...

Okay.

-Thank you.
-What about your brother?

Uh... I don't want to work with him
but don't want to say no to him.

-It's logical.
-Yeah, right. Sure.

And, why don't you want to work with him?

I asked you not to ask questions, Karim!

-Basically, I don't trust him.
-He steals?

Of course not! How could you?
! He's obviously not a thief!!

Be careful what you say! He's my brother!

But...look, look. He did that. See?

In five minutes... five minutes!

And that's what happened.

Right.

But I've never seen anyone ask for
her brother not to work with her!

Listen Karim, I asked for a favour.
Are you up to it or not?

Fine, okay, I'll do it.

Okay. Very good.

Uh...okay...uh...

By...

By the way... I'm sorry for what happened

on the day of the phohoshoot.

-I was... I mean...I couldn't...
-No, no. I... don't...don't

feel you need to apologize.

Ummm

This is better.

How is that?

Better because of... the... static... see? See?

There... can you feel... there...

There... you see... I...

When I feel... this...

Yeah?

You get it... when I feel this... I...

I know you understand.

I become silly!

I start being...

Confused and distracted.

Totally unfocused,
and it bothers the kids,

So I decided I'll not walk that lane...
Ever.

And can you?

That's the "deal". The deal that...

Hmm?

The deal that I made...

-The deal?
-Yeah.

And we are business partners, and...

That's more important than anything else.

And you don't even live here, so...

I mean... you get it? No need to open up...
to then shut down. You get it?

No, I don't get it. I don't get it.

You can't switch off your feelings,
like that...just like that.

No, no.

We can... yes. We can.

They will stop.

Can we please never talk about this again,
Karim? Hmm?

Uh...

Okay

Let's go

-Hi!
-Hi!

How's it going?

Uh... everything's fine

-Who are you talking to?
-No one.

Okay.

Hi.

Hi.

Yeah.

So, I mean you should have come anyway!

The store looks great.

We could meet somewhere else.

Okay tomorrow after school.

At night?

It's not that easy, but um...

No, no. Mommy is cool!

Okay, sure. I'll manage.

Bye.

So you learned nothing, right?

He says "here-kitty" and you "meow"?

"Here-kitty"?

I'll pretend I didn't hear that.

And so what? It's just a movie!

Oh really?

Yeah.

Go to a movie with him alone? At night?

Who'll let you do that? We have a lesson!

Can't you see what's happening?

Mom's mind is all over the place!

And the rest of the "surveillance
squad" over there?

I will... need your help.

Huh!

You're so cute!

Hell no! Leave me out of this!

Yes way!

I said no, Nadia!

You will help me.

Oh my God! Sorry, I...

-There are other colours...and-
-I brought him over to you

personally to tell you he's not upset.

Hadi! I... I really am so glad you came!

-Hi,Tamer.
-Congratulations.

-And flowers, too?
-No. Those are for Nesrine.

Yeah, of course.
Nesrine, Nesrine... - Congratulations.

I just want to say something
before Nesrine comes.

It was not personal, I swear.

Would you please accept my apology?

-I'm really sorry.
-Don't worry about it.

And, I never saw her this happy.
So, please take care of her.

I will.

I'm sorry.

Congratulations

Merci

I missed you.

Come on...yeah. -Come on, come on.
-Okay.

You have to try our booster shots. You
look pale, pale! Not good. Not good. This

-will help you, this will help.
-Just with red sauce.

-Without butter.
-And look... look...

Without butter?

-Look what I framed! Look here...
-What?

It's not important, forget it.

-Listen...
-Microscopic! I had it framed!

Not important...

-See what I did here?
-Who's that?

Karim: Yes but what kind of spices?
That? That's Karim Abed. Our new partner.

Our new partner!

Mmmmm...

He's super annoying,
by the way, but anyway...

I mean, that's life. We don't chose them!

Mmmm.

-Yeah.
-You really have to

taste our açai booster...

and...

And he's married...

-Totally!
-Totally?

-Totally!
-Really?

Yes, super married!

-Damned luck!
-Talks about his wife all the

time! "My wife...my wife...my wife..."

-What a shame!!
-Try it? Try our açai booster.

-Look. It's green apple, with açai...
-Forget about this. Tell me... who's that?

Mmm

So you're here on the hunt, Soha!

What is that?

Who is he?

-That's my brother, Hazem.
-That's Hazem?

He looks totally different!

Yes, he's just older.

And hotter.

Older... and hotter!!

Listen, Soha.

-Yeah?
-Why don't you go look inside the

store? I changed everything...everything!

-I'll take a look, right. Okay.
-Okay. Nesrine and Hadi are

-over there. I'll join you.
-I promise, I'm sure.

-I've tried it many times.
-Sorry for the interruption.

-So, what are you talking about?
-I'm telling her about my wife,

and my wife's cooking.

But Tante Suheir insists that
her cooking is better.

-Yes, of course!
-Yes! Ask Ola. No one cooks as good as me!

Why ask her? Come and taste for yourself.
What do you think?

We have a deal?

My pleasure.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow you come and taste
my cooking for yourself.

And to celebrate this
wonderful partnership! Ha?

-Wonderful, wonderful! Great idea...Great
-I'm in, I'm in.

Okay, tomorrow then. Let's invite
Nessrine and Hadi, and Montasir too.

-Okay, okay.
-Yeah, yeah.

Tomorrow, yeah for sure.

Yes. Don't leave, I'll come
back to tell you something.

Yeah she said tomorrow... so that's
sure. So sorry your wife won't be there

She'll come next along, Ola.
For sure I'll bring her along

Hope so.

-Hey, listen...
-Huh?

We'll invite Soha too, Hisham's cousin.

That petty cow?! No!

-Mom, let's focus please
-Huh? What? We stand to gain.

What?

-You'll love it
-Why?

Soha want to get married

That's a crime! Who'd deal with her?

Your son

Hazem! No, no!!

Shhhhhh

What?

Focus, mom.

Okay.

-Soha wants to get married.
-Mmm.

Hazem wants to work.

Soha marries Hazem.

Soha gets Hazem a job.

Hazem moves to Soha's very beautiful,
very big house.

Ola and Suheir stop worrying
about Hazem forever.

Ola and Suheir don't spend a penny,
get it?

This is the first time that
you're talking sense.

That's the first time I feel
I really am like her.

Ola said everything was
different, but I can't see it!

Scary!!

-There she is... there...
-Darling!

-I recognised her voice.
-And her scent... beautiful!

I've missed you! Sweetheart!

Ola, what was I just
telling you about her?

That you...you miss her
and that she's lovely!

-So lovely! You're the best,my deares.t
-Thank you.

So sweet!

And Ola tells me you're
looking for a husband.

Yes.

But darling, that's
easy. I have the answer!

Really?

Of course! My son, Hazem!

Mom, Momm!

Hmm?

Imagine I didn't think of that at all!

-You'll never love Soha as much as I do
-True...

My dearest.

-Awww!
-And I'll never find my son a

bride wealth-healthier than you

-Exactly, exactly.
-You know that I'm a

practical woman, right?

Just two questions, when and where?

Yes ma'am. Tomorrow!

-Come to dinner.
-Sounds great!

-What do you think?
-Perfect.

And also to celebrate Hazem's return...

And my daughter's store...even though I
don't know what they sell. What do you

-sell?
-Yes

-Lice combs!
-Lice combs?

-Lice combs
-Yes, right. Everything... everything!

Yeah Okay?

-Yeah, okay
-Monty, don't forget!

Yes, tell Monty. Let's not forget him.
I'm sure he would come.

Okay.

Grandma Suheir solved it.

The house will be crowded
and no one will notice!

So please,
please...if mom calls you, don't answer!

-The things I do for love!
-Thank you!

You're welcome.

Uh...did you ask Karim?

Uh...yeah.

And so. What...did he say?

-No.
-He said no?

Yeah.

He said no.

Did he say why?

No.

Again no?

No.

Oh, okay. I...I'll do
this, you open the door.

Okay.

Mom, are you ready yet?

-Montasir.
-Hazem.

Can I come in?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure. Just a second.

Did you also say no?

-No?
-Yeah?

Non.

Merci. Come in.

Weird, and he smells weird.

-Bonsoir!
-Hello, welcome Monty

Nice, nice, very nice. Just leave
it there, leave it there. Good timing

Bonne soir,tante.

-Hello, dear
-Take these glasses. Here you go.

Okay.

Hello there!

Hi, welcome.

Could you stand next to me?

Sorry?

Just stand!

Okay.

Good.

Mmm.

Please come in... come in. Ola... Soha's here.

-Hi, Soha, hi.
-Wow, you're still not ready?

I'm an early bird. I can't stay up late.

No, no, we're almost ready. Thank you.

Bye, Mom.

B-b-

Wait, wait, What? What do you mean?

Wait...

Why bye?! Where are you going?

I told you.

I have an exam tomorrow
and I need to prepare.

So... I really can't miss today's lesson.

Lesson? You didn't tell me about that.

-Where's Zeina?
-I'll meet her there.

How are you getting there?

Hi, Karim.

-Hi.
-Bye, Karim.

-Bye.
-Hi, Karim!

How are you?

Wow! Goodies!
Welcome to the nuthouse! So sorry!

Come in, come in...Mom...

-Hi.
-Yes?

Hi.

-Uh... remember Soha?
-Monty...

Of course, of course.

-And Hazem, of course.
-Hazem, how are you? Hi.

-Welcome. Mom...
-Hi.

How are you dear?

When I see someone cooking,
I have to join them.

You can cook too?

Sure.

What a terrible waste!

-Here I am, I'm here.
-You've got absolutely no luck!!

-No, no... I don't, I don't.
-Be gone! Be gone!

-Oh you're going to cook!
-Yes!

-Sweet potatoes! Wow!!
-You have to try my

cooking, if you don't mind.

-Here, use this
-That's fine with you?

Yes, of course. Feel free!

There you are. Okay? Anything else?

Enjoy, dear.

So, anyway...

Mmm.

So we took him and rushed to the canal.

-We stood him at the edge of the water.
-Karim?

He was Caramel then

-They called him Caramel, because he was...
-Not that much!

So anyway, Sayed Barbar stood behind him.

And pushed him into the water.

He used to be squishy and gooey back then...

-You know...?
-Liar. He sank like a rock.

You couldn't swim at all, Caram-?

Sorry!

Sorry, I'm sorry! Karim...

What? You couldn't swim?

He's lying.

He couldn't swim back then.
Maybe, he's improved by now.

-Yeah, with floaters now maybe.
-Yeah You guys are funny. So funny!

-Of course, of course.
-You are, very much so.

Why so quiet?

Anyway, Monty, tell me.
Could you swim back then?

Just listening

Nice

-No, not really. But, I did take classes.
-I love people who listen

-What?
-What do you like?

Floating classes.

Floating? Did your mom
teach you that? Maman?

-Like about what?
-You know that wooden plank?

I don't like people who
answer question with a question!

I used to swim with that.

Yeah.

Stop it, Monty.

-Pass the salad?
-Yes, sure.

Let me try your some of your
sweet potato salad you made.

Merci.

-Mmm.
-Please do, Tante. I want to try it too.

-Really?
-Mmm.

-What for?
-No reason.

Thanks. That's fine, yeah.

You'll tell me what you think.

-Sure. And I'll take the recipe.
-No, I don't think mom will like this.

Why?

Doesn't like sweet potatoes.

No, I'll like it.

Stay out of it! I want the recipe, dear.

Oh, it must be Nesrine!
Salim, open the door, get the door please.

It must be Nesrine.

He really couldn't swim?

Leemo!

-He's exaggerating! Of course, he's lying.
-Why are you so late?

Sorry, sorry... but we just...

-Congratulations! Congratulations!
-Hi, how are you?

Congratulations!

-Congratulations, girl!
-Congratulations!

-Come here. Congratulations!
-Nesrine's getting married!

Hazzoum!

-Congratulations!
-Show me!

Congratulations, Hadi. Well done!

No, that's not a diamond,
that's a whole mine! A mine! Look!

Yeah, yeah! God bless them, mom. Enough
already! God bless them. Why didn't you

-tell us? We could have helped!
-Mmm Did you meet his mom? Why not?

-Aren't you forgetting something?
-I need to ask you how to

-handle her. What to do?
-Have a seat, Have a seat!

She's not important now!
Focus on him! Hadi is the catch!

Ok, ok. Don't worry

Ok dear. Sit down, sit down, please.

Hi, Karim

Meh...

What? How mean!

Uh...

-So... what do you do for a living?
-This is so yummy.

Uh...

-You have to taste this.
-I'm...uh...

...Currently...

Shifting careers... A career shift

From what to what?

Mmmm.

I'd say from heaven...

To Earth.

What?

You see, Hazem is a flight attendant.
A brilliant one

Quite exceptional.

All the international
airlines are fighting

over him. They want to recruit him, but...

He's had enough.
He wants to settle down here,

-and make a home, you see.
-Where?

What do you mean "where"?

No, mom. She hates when people
answer a question with a question.

Where is that "home"?

Yes, where is that, mom? Where?

I was asked all those questions, long ago...

Memories...

-Poor dear. I pity him!
-Finding a house is... really very easy.

-The bride is what's most importan.t
-Exactly. We don't care

where the home will be.

-You see, what's important is the job.
-No problem, dearie, don't

worry my love. Here darling...

It's brand new, I mean, seriously!

It's okay

-Thanks, mom
-By the way...

Hazem...Hazem is...

By the way... the food is delicious!

So, Karim...

Sorry, but I have a question...

Sorry to interrupt your salad galore...

-Mmm?
-When you apply for a job...

Shouldn't there be an interview?

-Or is one rejected point-blank?
-Rejected?

Mmm.

-Mmm?
-Answer him.

Tell him why. He's entitled.

-Sure, sure. Sure.
-Mmm.

Honestly Hazem...

It's nothing personal,
you know. I said no.

Why?

-Why?
-Yeah, why?

Mmm... why?

Why?

-Why?
-Why?

You told me then,
but I can't remember... some weird reason!

Why?

-Yeah?
-Mmm.

Because...mmm

I was concerned,
honestly, mixing family and work.

It could be complicated, and I really...

It gets ugly, scary.

Scary.

No, no, hang on...

You don't want him to work with you,
but want me to marry him?

-Hmm?
-Wait, what??

-For real?
-No!

Oh!! Come stand next to me and...

Did I tell any of you,
I wanted to get married?

-No
-I said I want to work.

I... want... to work!

And you will!

You'll work!

There are hundreds of jobs and hundreds
of brides! Yes, Thousands!

Yes, really... Mr. Karim...

I mean... why give yourself the right

to make that decision alone?

At this table... there is 1, 2, 3...

Mom is also a partner. She put
in 5000 pounds when we started.

Mmm.

There are 4 people you
could have consulted

before making such a great decision.

Nesrine, dear. Do you agree?

Hmm?

To what exactly?

Do you agree to have Hazem work with us?

Hmmm??

Of course, he should work with us.

Okay. Monty?

-Mmmm?
-Mmm?

-You agree?
-Mmmm.

Yes, sure

I agree, too.

Agree?

Certainly.

Good. That's it. That's a majority.

Thank you. You're hired

-You're hired!
-Congratulations, darling.

-Thank you, dear.
-Congratulations, Zooma dear.

-Thanks, Ola.
-Congratulations.

-What's happening. I don't get it!
-Yes. I have to work.

Do you want sweet potato salad?

That's just us.

Making decisions, then figuring them out.

-Mmm.
-Or not. No big deal!

I'm so sorry, really.
Terribly sorry. Forget about it, please.

Uh... Tante...

Mmm?

By the way, I'm not married.

-Oh really?!
-Oh honey!

-I really love you, dear.
-He thinks he's annoying me?

-Tough luck!!
-I knew I loved you the moment I first

saw you, I promise! Let's shake on that
proposal... I mean... let's

shake hands, my dearest.

I swear to God, I love you dearly.

Just like one of my own! Honestly...

-Put your hand here, Ola...come on, sweetie.
-Sure, sure... Congratulations.

Welcome to the family, my dear.
