I have to speak Australian.

Get me the f***ing keys

to the car you were meant to put there.

Please.

Dad.

We're meant to believe in miracles?

They do happen?

There is a riddle.

A bridge is about to collapse.

Any weight, it would crumble...

What is this?

Your temporary transport.

Hey, mate. Don't put it in.

Please God, prove your existence.

Hey, Ali.

Ali, hurry.

Seyyed Ghaffar has thrown a barbecue party

for his son.

Young Luay got 96 for his exam!

96.2. But what is a number?

I'm sure your family will throw

an even bigger celebration.

I have to speak to my father.

Is he inside?

Our leader is giving brother Qais comfort.

Marital problems.

- Finally, someone who's not a taxi driver.

- Please.

My son and I are merely slaves of God.

If my son becomes a doctor,

and serves this community,

it is not because of my genes

or my endless hours of schooling.

It is...

Him.

Ali. My good friend.

University of Melbourne,

here we come.

96.2, huh?

Maybe we should not be so vocal

in our celebration.

We must remember,

not all can bask under God's glory

I bet you Ali did extremely well.

- I bet the same.

- If the Prophet hadn't banned gambling...

I would bet my entire house

that Ali would have a higher score

than Luay.

So...

- Enlighten us, Ali.

- Come on, Ali. Tell us.

- The suspense is tingling me.

- Let's hear it.

There is no man alive

smarter than his father.

Maybe only his son.

I got 96 also.

Point 4.

I would have won a house.

Baba.

What is this I hear?

What is this they are saying

at the mosque?

Ninety-six point four.

Praise be to God.

Ninety-six point four!

I was worried you'd struggle to get 90.

All the years fighting in the war,

dragging my family

from one hell to another...

My dumb brother is a genius.

My brother's a genius. A genius.

My dumb brother's a genius.

Handsome son.

- You are too gorgeous to be a doctor.

- Yes? I'm with him now.

Here's to rid the evil eye.

Mum.

We have also ordered a dozen sheep

from the abattoir, as an offering.

Oh, no.

I don't want the sheep to die

for no reason.

- No reason?

- Free them instead.

Wait until everyone hears back home.

Hears that my son is finally a doctor.

Where's my brother, Ali?

You'll find him in the library

- You'll find him in the library

- Guys, just one second.

Please, be quiet.

Be quiet!

I don't want to make a big deal

out of this.

You, no fuss. No fuss.

The next student isJamal Hilfi.

Unbelievable, man.

I thought you were as dumb as me.

I got 68.9.

Your father must be over the moon.

...accepted into the paramedic course.

Paramedic may sound like a fancy name

for nurses driving vans,

but more important
