Out in the Dark Page #2

Synopsis: Nimer and Roy are two gay men on opposing sides of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict who fall for each other. Much as they'd like to be left alone, both political conflict and orthodox beliefs will not leave their budding relationship untouched, with most of the egregious circumstances befalling Nimer, whom security forces pressure into helping them by stripping his access to education and threatening to leave him without family. Through his eye-witnessed death of a friend, Nimer knows he can't oblige. Can love find a way through this no-win situation?

What is it?

You know I can't read Hebrew.

A permit to cross back and forth.

Are you f***ing with me?

I want one too!

Who did you have to suck to get it?

You wish it were that easy.

Does that mean you got in?

Oh honey, congratulations.

What great news.

This calls for a toast.

Sh*t, we're out of vodka.

I promise we'll go celebrate later.

I'm so proud of you.

Thank you.

Before I forget,

guess who I ran into Saturday night?

Who?

Remember that cute lawyer?

He was asking about you.

For real?

Look at you, turning all red.

Why haven't you called him?

What am I gonna call him for?

What's your problem?

It's only a date.

I can't really afford

any distractions right now.

You're too serious,

you don't meet hotties

like him everyday.

I can tell you liked him.

And with that new class,

you'll be here every week.

Roy?

We're down the hall.

Right here

and another.

Come in, we're almost done.

Well,

thank you very much, Roy.

Don't mention it.

Anything you need, you come to me.

We're just doing our job, Roman.

I'm serious.

Anything!

Roman, really.

Look at him trying to be all modest,

I owe him my brother's life.

Let me walk you to the elevator.

I'll be right back.

So sweet of you to come by.

What was that all about?

What?

Roman?

One of our big clients.

Not somebody I would wanna

get involved with.

But he's good business.

We got his brother

out of some serious trouble.

I feel that every day I'm in this job,

I compromise who I am.

I don't think

it's necessarily your job.

It's part of life.

It happens to everybody.

I don't see you compromising.

Do you think?

What are you up to?

Why don't you go back to your books.

Hi, Nimr.

Hi.

I hear you're studying in Tel Aviv?

Leave him alone.

Okay, I'm outta here.

Bringing guns home?

Aren't you going too far?

Let it go, okay?

So this is getting serious?

I know you're busy with school,

but you forget where we live.

You forget you used to fight

for education and human rights.

Are you preaching about values?

You only care about yourself.

Violence is not a value.

What's going on?

You guys found something new

to fight about?

It's nothing, dear.

What is this good for?

Good night.

I don't understand what you're doing.

I'm going to bed.

Mustafa,

why are you getting yourself

in trouble?

I didn't do anything, I swear.

They just decided to pick on me.

Are you f***ing with me?

No, I swear.

I was gonna call you,

but I lost your number.

Lost my number?

Yes, I'm not lying.

Oh really?

I did.

Shut the f*** up.

Shut the f*** up.

I don't need this guy, he's burnt.

Wait, what do you mean "burnt"?

I'm not "burnt," I swear.

I'll do anything you ask me to.
