Land of Plenty Page #2

Synopsis: The American daughter of missionaries Lana returns to Los Angeles from Palestine to work in a mission helping homeless people. Lana was born in Ohio and raised in South Africa and Middle East, and she is an authentic citizen of the world, connected through Internet and aware of how other people see the lack of culture and knowledge and exaggerated patriotism of average American people. Her unique relative is her unknown uncle Paul, a veteran of Vietnam War that cut relationships with his family and is bigot and paranoid. Paul lives in a surveillance van, lives as if he were a secret agent, sees conspiracy and terrorist cells everywhere, and has a great prejudice against Arabs and other non-American breeds after the September, 11th. They meet each other, and when they see the murder of a poor Pakistanis nearby the mission, they travel together to the small town of Trone to deliver his corpse to the family, where Paul sees a different reality.

You're probably

beat anyway, huh?

Yeah... (I'm) a little tired.

Come on!

Are you hungry?

No, not really.

Good! You'll do well here.

I like it.

Huh! Sure you do.

No, I really do.

You are going to do

very well here.

Bathroom is down the hall.

And this key unlocks

your door,

our kitchen,

and a few other things.

It would be bad to lose it...

We usually have tea

around six.

That sounds good.

Okay.

- Good Night!

- Good Night!

Deedee mau!

Copy...

That's it. Keep it coming...

- Just get out of my way!

- On your left! You got it!

- Keep it coming! That's it.

- Get the f*** out of my way!

You're veering!

You're veering!

Yeah, because of you!

Watch the mirror!

What would I do

without you, huh?

There you go. You got it!

More shredded paper? Great!

Yeah, can you reassemble it?

All of it?

Piece of... piece of cake.

Ah, you got some more water.

Where is it from?

Read it!

What do you know about Borax?

Borax?

Yeah.

It's a cleaning detergent,

isn't it?

I know it's cleaning detergent!

I wanna know what else

you can do with it.

What do you mean,

like build a bomb?

Just check it out.

Alright.

I'll run it on the net.

Hahaha!

What?

I was just thinking...

You know, uh, everybody's

worried about a "dirty bomb".

Wouldn't it be funny

if it was made out of Borax?

Let me know as soon as you've

made it and we'll set up a chat time.

I'm going to Abu Dis with the I.S.M.,

and yes, with Itzhak... ooh la la!

for a "stop the wall" vigil,

but I'm back tonight.

Miss you, Yael.

P. S:
If you're homesick,

check out the latest...

Better Have Pains of Peace

Than Agonies of War

I made it, but it was one of the

longest trips of my life.

When we chat

I'll tell you about LA.

And you can tell me

about Itzhak!

You're ten hours ahead of me,

so how is ten your time,

midnight for me tomorrow?

I love you and

I miss you, Lana.

Ten-twenty.

North side of Palmetto.

I see an Arab!

Mom's letter.

God, help me deliver it

after all these years.

Help me do this for her.

Help me find my uncle...

Wherever he is...

... the strategy of the insurgents

in and around Baghdad

has been labelled the

body bag syndrome...

During the day

the second floor is the

real hub of activity,

so we usually leave

this door closed.

Okay, got it.

Those are the women's

dorms down there.

Martha's jurisdiction.

How you're doing, Marth?

Hi, Henry.

You know, they've been

over capacity since,

well, since the last time the

fire marshal was here.

And we have a small room for

reading and prayer in there.

And down here...

- Ooh, I am sorry!

- Wow! Excuse me!

...and come down here.

This is my office.

And then, the real action
