son of the cleric.

Jumper leads!

- Man, you won't get into medicine.

- Yes, I will.

- I got a degree in science, didn't I?

- Just.

They gave him a science degree too.

Yeah, but he hasn't spent the last year

studying for the entrance exam.

Have you?

Look man, I'm physically, emotionally

and spiritually ready

to sit this goddamn exam.

Do you even want to do medicine?

He has to sit the exam.

I'm a forklift driver.

My father makes me sit the exam.

Except I'm smart enough

to know I'm stupid.

- Put it back.

- Twinnies.

I don't want to know. Reseal it.

Hey, is that the one?

Oh yeah.

Tonight's the night.

I'm going to talk to her.

- You already did.

- Yeah, we had a great conversation.

- But this is the next level.

- Ali.

Don't do the stupid voice. No one gets it.

Good evening.

I see you came for the milk.

And I've got something special

to show you.

Or a special that we have.

The Chupa Chups. They're on special.

Not a special. Ten for five dollars.

So if I spend $50,

you'd give me 100?

We don't have that many in stock.

It's a pity. That's all I wanted.

Do you need a hand carrying these

to your father's shop?

- It's two bottles.

- So you're OK?

Yeah, I'm OK.

Are you sure

you don't want the president of Iraq

to help you carry the milk bottles?

Dictator.

That was Saddam Hussein's voice.

- You can Google it.

- I don't think I will be.

- You sitting the medical entrance exam?

- Yeah. I'm going to be a doctor.

Charlie.

My name's Ali, but this is

the Aussie version, so it's Charlie.

Yeah, I know who you are,

son of the cleric.

And I know who you are, Dianne.

You're the daughter

of the fish and chip man.

Thanks. It's how I like to be remembered.

Just put it on the account, will you?

- Hooroo!

- Sayonara!

Salaam alaikum!

You idiots. You just ruined it for me.

Yeah, I ruined it for you.

It wasn't the Saddam voice

that killed it.

- You need to get married, like me.

- You got married by mistake.

- Did you knock her up?

- It's a damn tea ceremony.

It's a minefield.

Turks do it different to Persians.

They do it different to us.

- How do you guys do it?

- It doesn't matter. The sex is the same.

Unbelievable, man.

And my wife reckons

I'm starting to get the hang of it.

You animal.

Retroperitoneal...

Baba?

- Thinking about your big exam?

- Of course.

I found this.

Hassan's initials.

I put it on when

he won the math prize in Abadan.

I remember that.

He would have made a great doctor.

It may not bring you luck,

but it might bring you comfort.

Come. Breakfast.

Cinema? Are you crazy?

It's genius!

We join a random family

and sit next to their daughters.

What if the film is no good?
