Just push the cauliflower aside.
That's what I do.
It all tastes so good.
You're too thin.
Where's my mom,
by the way?
So what-- Are the Iraqis happy
that Saddam is gone?
I'll give you some particular advice
if you don't like the way it was done.
Can I get up?
I can't hear!
I got a job.
- Where, Aunty?
- In the United Alliance Bank.
What will you be doing?
Working in office.
Administration.
When do you start, Mom?
When you start--
- Then bye.
- Bye.
Hi. Can I help you?
I wish.
Good morning.
It's my first day.
- Wait-- You work here?
- Yes.
I'm Muna.
Matt.
Matt?
Your name is Matt?
Do you know
what it means in Arabic?
I know it's not "God is great"
but it's what I am.
It means dead.
You are dead.
Cool.
Imagine that someone
invaded America, alright?
And then
the people resisted...
Would we be terrorists?
No. See that's completely
different, though.
- No, it's not.
- It is because
we wouldn't blow ourselves up
killing innocent people.
Because you wouldn't have to.
Alright, because you have
fighter jets in your backyard.
We didn't invade them.
We were over there trying to help them.
How?
By starving them?
By killing them?
My brother is over there
trying to give them a chance
- at freedom.
- If you believe that,
I seriously feel sorry
for you.
- You seriously feel--
- Okay. Okay.
Let's open this up.
What do the rest of you think?
What are the reasons
behind terrorism?
Political injustice
and resistance to occupation.
Just give someone else
a chance, okay?
Fadi.
- You would ask him.
- I'm sorry.
What? What was that?
I refrain from questioning Fadi.
Probably cause he's got
something to hide.
Yeah, well, maybe he's planning
to blow the school up.
- Hey, that's enough.
- That's so racist.
What, so you think they taught him
to build bombs in the second grade?
Yeah, you people
are clueless.
- Really?
- Okay, okay, that's enough.
Let's get back on track.
Somebody else.
Come on.
Welcome to the White Castle.
Would you like
a case of graving?
No, it's... "Would you like
to try our crave case?"
This what I say.
- You're such a fat pig!
- F*** off!
Why they aren't at school?
Let's just stick with
"Welcome to White Castle."
I'm sorry, there's no one
here named Muna.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah.
I mean, if you want,
I can ask.
- But I'm pretty positive.
- Yes, please.
- What's your name?
- Raghda.
- I beg your pardon.
- Ra-ghda.
Rag-dha?
- Yes, Ragdha, yes.
- I'm sorry I'm late.
- Muna.
- I was in the store
to buy some medicine.
I have a headache.
Maybe too much thinking.
- You were here this morning.
- Yes. Muna, my name is Muna.
