Amreeka

Sorry.

See you tomorrow.

She never told me.

Ihab Abdulla.

- I love you.

- I love you.

Citizenship?

We don't have.

You don't have citizenship?

As in, you don't

have a country.

That's right.

Where are you from?

- Israel?

- No, no.

It's the Palestinian territory.

Your occupation?

Yes.

It is occupied

for forty years.

No. What is your occupation?

What--What do you do

for a living, ma'am?

Oh yes, I was working

in banking.

Is this your son?

Yes. Fadi.

Your husband

travelling with you?

No. We have divorced.

My husband--

He's not a good man.

Ma'am?

Ma'am?

Yes?

Has anyone asked you to bring

anything into the country?

Only my mother.

Are you carrying

any firearms?

Repeat please.

Are you carrying

any firearms?

- Guns, weapons.

- No, no. No.

What's in this?

Cheese and...

I don't know.

Meat by-products are prohibited

from entry in the United States.

Oh... Mama?

Can you move it

a little bit?

Mama?

Fine.

Narcotics?

- Sorry?

- Heroin.

- Cocaine, marijuana.

- No! No, no, of course not!

Fadi!

- How are you?

- Good.

- Hi, Aunty.

- Hello.

- Welcome to America!

- Thank you.

It's a big country, Aunty.

Mum says everyone

in America is fat.

So maybe

you could fit in.

This is my present.

Michel Arona.

Zatar...

Fadi... Fadi!

Okay, get some sleep,

habib.

Fadi... Fadi!

So, is there anything else

you can do?

You can file a report,

but that's about it.

You can try back in

a few days if you want to.

Thanks.

Mom...

- It's my room, too.

- No, it's not. Go away.

You have to take

an appointment.

$23.24

Thanks.

Thank you.

Kind of ugly,

but fine.

Oh my God!

Definitely not!

What you're doing?

She's telling me

what to wear.

Why? You don't know

what to wear?

No, Aunty, because

he can't wear things like this.

Why?

Just buy this for him.

Aunty, they're pleaded.

Do you know what will happen

if you wear this to school?

What?

He'll look like an FOB.

- A what?

- Fresh of the boat.

What's that mean?

What boat, habiti?

It means he won't have

any friends.

What friends have to do

with his clothes?

Only everything.

Arabic, English and French?

Well, my French

isn't that good, but--

Him parler francais trs bien.

(He speaks French very well)

Me too.

We speak three language

and a half.

Mom, I only know

the numbers in Hebrew.

This is what

I said I have.

Mr. Novatski, the boys are writing

on the bathroom walls again.

Yeah, I'll--

I'll be there in a minute.

Now, it says here

you went to private school.

- Yeah, I did. It was--

- Yeah, it was so expensive.

But I manage.

I work in a bank

for ten years.

Well, his record

is very impressive.

So you did something right.

- Thank you.

- I have to say that he has

more credits than

most of our graduates.

Now, I assume that you're

planning on going to college.

Yeah, I do.

I like arts

so I thought of going

to some art college or like--

No, no.

He will be a doctor.

Like my sister-husband.

He's too smart.

Right, well. Um...

I see no reason

why Fadi shouldn't be able to

enter his junior year here.

We're lucky to have him.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thank you!

Habibi!

Come on, people.

Who read the assignment?

They targetted aliens

with ties--

Isn't that what I said?

Dude, check it out.

Have a seat.

Welcome to Current World Issues.
