Is that one of these arab books?

"Prisoner of Azkaban," book number three.

Yeah.

Here you go.

Hey. What... what...

what else do you got?

I got books, and I got newspapers.

Use your eyes.

I'm using my eyes.

That newspaper is two months old.

Now, why do I have to know

the news for two months old?

So, you're good then?

Hold on your horses, huh?

No one is going nowhere here...

at least, I'm not.

What is that picture?

That book.

No, no, go.

Go, go. Go.

Too much.

Go back.

Uh-huh.

What is it?

"My Antonia."

Is it a good book or...

I don't know. I haven't read it.

Okay. Just tell me what the cover says,

on the back.

"In 19th century Nebraska,

the spirited daughter of an immigrant..."

Nebraska?

You said... what was it?

It... it's a place in America.

Okay. Uh-huh.

That... what kind of place is this?

Nebraska?

Flat.

Flat.

Time's up.

- Hey.

- Keep it moving.

Hey, I... moptop?

Bad timing, okay?

Me and blondie... we were having

a very beautiful conversation.

Uh-huh.

And you come here always trying

to be a big f***ing a**hole.

You know what?

I think you guys don't have

the lastHarry Potter on purpose.

You like to drive us crazy.

But I'm not going crazy.

Huh? Happy me.

I'm not going crazy... not me!

At 2100, detainees on Charlie block

complained of a foul-smelling

odor coming from ventilation.

Maintenance was called.

At 2200, detainee 9-1-2 was found with

seven strings of different colors.

He appeared to be weaving them

together, possibly to form a weapon.

At 0500, detainee 4-9 was transferred

to medical for pain in the abdomen.

Diagnosis was constipation.

We have 3-6 moves scheduled,

3-8 moves completed.

All detainees accounted for.

Atten-hut!

Honor bound.

To defend freedom.

Hey, blondie,

tell me...

how do you like it here so far?

Huh?

Blondie.

Where are you from?

Okay, tell me your name.

No?

My name is Ali...

Ali Amir.

Here, they call me 4-7-1.

You don't like to talk?

Always, it's like that. Why?

I don't know why you guys...

you don't like to talk with us.

You and us... we are both stuck here.

It is boring for both of us.

And you and me got nothing

to say to each other.

Okay. You don't like to read

Harry Potter book?

You don't like to read that book about...

what was that place, the flat place?

Uh, Nebraska?

Tell me what you like to read, huh?

Oh! You are a soldier.

And soldiers... they don't like books.

I thought you only read the Qur'an.

The Qur'an, yes.

We... I-I've read it one million times.

You know what?

Ehan, there in 108... he has

memorized it, the whole book.

Hey, Ehan!

Tell something to blondie from the Qur'an.

I think he's trying to tell
