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?
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!
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--
Me too.
and a half.
Mom, I only know
the numbers in Hebrew.
This is what

Mr. Novatski, the boys are writing
Yeah, I'll--
I'll be there in a minute.
Now, it says here

- 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
