You could do that one day.

Then another day we get called for something else.

I'm a technocrat.

Where do you live Yassine?

I live in the suburbs.

What is it?

Nothing.

Tell me, Yasin.

Do you have a job right now?

No

I haven't.

Do you have some professional training perhaps?

No.

Ah, ok.

Perhaps you live with someone, maybe

whom you could recommend?

In fact yes, I have my brother.

- Ah, that's good.

- Dad, there's no need for this talk.

- Ah listen

- Ah, OK.

I'm just asking your friend some questions.

You told me that you would drop me off.

Excuse me.

Well there it is.

No big deal.

Wait.

The light is green, isn't it?

Go on, get f***ed!

Pay attention you a**holes!

Crazy people.

It's...

Looking for sh*t or what?

Frankly, it was magnificent

there at your house.

Yes, I ate really well.

Wait.

Give me a second.

- You've seen where I come from.

- Frankly its royal, you see.

Ah, yeah

And above all your father was laughing

thats pretty crazy.

- That's good.

- He's a jerk.

What do you mean he's your father right?

That's what father's do.

Why do you say such things?

What's wrong?

- Hey?

- It's nothing.

Sorry, what are you looking for.

No it's nothing, really

- No no it was stupid on my part.

It's nothing, trust me. It's nothing. See?

Quiet. See no problem.

... No problem.

A spell of love or what?

What are you looking at?

You see how he was looking at me?

Yassine!

Didn't you see the look he gave?

What are you doing?

Come on sweetie.

He's there.

Come, let's get a coffee.

I did it...

Because that guy looked at me funny, you know?

As I am an Arab. I got carried away.

I understand, why you did that and everything.

Sorry. Frankly that..

No, truly, I understand.

I agree with you.

Well, do you...

do you have a boyfriend?

I don't have a boyfriend.

I...

I love...

I love Christ.

I love Christ.

But we all have a

religion that we love.

Yes but,

I don't want to have a boyfriend, because...

Why?

I am here for Him.

But we are all here for...

for a cause.

Yes, but...

I am a virgin, and I want

to stay a virgin.

I don't want to have sex with a guy

and everything.

Why did I say that?

It's not serious.

I appreciate that you told me.

No, but it's just that I can't...

Frankly i'm impressed by what you are.

But I really like you.

I like you too.

and also, I'm impressed by what you are

and what you've told me.

Please don't get the wrong...

... at the concert there, I got carried away.

- I hope you don't mind.

- No, it's not serious.

Don't worry about it.

- I can't stay here

- Oh really?

- You can't stay, are you sure?

- No, I can't.

You know what,

if you feel like coming over to my brother's house.
