Oh. No, I...

I have to tell you I'm going to get...

I'm going to be late.

I'm going to be late.

Our movie star!

What's with the air conditioner?

It's boiling in here.

What, you expected it to work?

I like it. When I'm here

I can relate to my people in Iraq.

Kate, Salwah called. She's late.

I can run some errands.

Just tell her to call me, okay?

I want to tell Salwah myself, okay?

What's up, my homie-omie?

- How did we do?

- $900, more or less.

That's it?

Your other business... Are you busy?

We have first run-through tonight,

Pick good roles. Be smart.

Think about the future.

It's funny you say that.

I just proposed to Kate.

What, are you getting married?

Fantastic, Omar!

Omar is getting married.

Huh?

Fresh baklava and tea on me.

I make it myself.

Come here. Come here, come here.

Congratulations.

So, yo, big shot,

to support a wifey now?

I landed a good role finally,

and on a good show, American Safety

Don't tell me, they're gonna have you

play a terrorist again.

No, not this time. A doctor.

Hey, that's a good part for you.

Yeah, no more Arab bad guys, inshallah

Yeah, inshallah,

but don't get your hopes

up too high, homie,

because as long as the Jews

controI Hollywood...

That's a myth.

- Talent wins in this town, that's all.

- For reaI?

So then how come there ain't

no successfuI Arab actors?

- There are.

- Who?

He's not a Jew.

He was Christian and became a Muslim.

He's a Jew. They're all Jews.

Name a known actor who's not a Jew.

- Antonio Banderas.

- Big Sephardic Jew.

He's not a Jew. Anyway, you'll see.

I'm going to be the Antonio Banderas

of the Arabs one day.

Yeah, one day the GirI Scouts

are gonna sell cookies

for the Muslim brotherhood, too,

you know.

Murad, you watch too much Al Jazeera.

It feeds your constant fear of the West.

Yeah, and Zionist American propaganda

feeds your constant fear

of your own Middle Eastern people.

- Check that sh*t on Fox.

- Fox.

Murad, enough already. Read the sign.

"No politics or religious discussion

allowed in this establishment.

"The management. " That's me.

That is, but that sign does

not say "discussion," M.

Whoever made that sign left that sh*t out.

Ya Ya make it.

His English like mine, not that good.

- But he's cheap.

- What do you mean, "his English"?

He's illiterate in Arabic also, man.

Oh.

You know the way.

You know the way.

You were saying, M, about religion?

I have to get the light on for them.

I'll get you the light. I'm sorry.

Salwah, Kate was here. Give her a call.

I need to set up.
