May in the Summer Page #3

Synopsis: High off the success of her first book and planning to marry ZIAD, her sensible, stable and studious fiance, MAY BRENNAN has it all. At least that's what she'd like people to believe. Reunited with her family in Amman, she's thrust back into the chaos of her former existence. Her headstrong mother NADINE, a born-again Christian disapproves of her Muslim fiance so thoroughly she plans to boycott the wedding. Her younger sisters DALIA and YASMINE behave like her children. And her estranged father EDWARD is suddenly and suspiciously interested in making amends. As her wedding day looms, May finds herself more and more confronted by the trauma of her parents divorce. And soon, her once carefully structured life spins hopelessly out of control.

No, all of us.

Cool, yeah, I'll be right back.

Ziad, I freaked out.

I'm sorry, it was

the planning, it was the book tour.

It was... it was all

of it at once.

I got scared.

- Okay, I mean...

- I love you so much.

Can we please just chalk this up

to some pre-wedding clich

and get on with our lives?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's what

we're doing, but okay.

Okay, but you haven't called

me since I... I got here.

You were with your

family, you needed time.

Why do you always think

you know what I need?

Because I know you,

May, better than you know yourself.

Yeah... Well, if that were true,

you'd be here right now.

We talked about this.

We agreed I should teach

and you said it was okay.

Of course, I said it was okay,

what else was I gonna say?

Well, how about what you meant?

That would be a start and

it would be helpful.

May?

May, can we go?

I have to get back out there.

Can I call you back later?

Sure.

This is awesome.

Oh, God, my body is like

physically rejecting this place.

I'm gonna... I'll-I'll

see you later.

I didn't think I'd

see you till the wedding.

I moved back.

What happened to Paris?

I'll go back one day.

I'm working with my brother now.

No way, we're all together?

Just like old times.

Where did Dalia go?

Her body didn't like the place.

- Yalla, cheers.

- Cheers.

Cheers?

- Oh, sh*t.

- Oh.

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

Can I bum one?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Oh, my God, that's disgusting.

Take it away.

Why'd you give me that?

You asked for it.

Oh, sh*t, I feel nauseous.

- Oh...

- Okay, okay.

Oh, my God,

everything's spinning.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Okay, just-

ooh, take it easy.

Can you walk with me?

- Mmm.

- Yeah?

Okay, just, oh, no, no, no,

that way, yeah.

Okay, sit on the hood.

Okay, okay.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, just wake up,

wake up, open your eyes, okay?

Hey, okay.

What are you doing?

What?

You were about to faint.

- No, I wasn't.

- Yeah, you were.

You don't know me.

Yeah... well, you needed help so

I was just trying to be nice.

You can't be nice

to people you don't know.

Whoa... uh...

okay, boss.

Can I sit here?

- Yeah?

- I don't care.

Just tell me something

about yourself.

I'm drunk.

"I'm drunk," yeah,

okay, I gathered that.

On.

I don't know where

my sisters went.

Oh, God, so drunk and lost.

I'm May.

I'm Karim.

Karim.

- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

Where are you from?

I live in New York.

Nice, New York, I love it.

You're May, yeah?

Yeah, I'm May.

You're-you're,

you're Issam's cousin, May?

Yeah, you're the one who wrote that

book about the Proverbs and... yeah?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, that's you.

I love that book.

- Really?
