Cairo Drive Page #2

in your car,

smoke sheesha in your car,

get food in your car.

Theres that whole culture.

And a friend was once

saying that you know,

its especially important

for young guys,

cuz like you know, you live with

your parents until your married.

So as a young guy, the

only real space you have,

thats yours I mean,

if you can afford

to have a car,

is in your car.

Thats where you and

the boys kick it.

I wish I could restart my life.

Erase everything

and start over.

Even while sleeping, I worry.

Its exhausting.

Son, talk to people!

Laugh, dont be so serious.

I used to be like you, worried,

in my head, depressed.

Youre not optimistic

about your future.

You think its your fate?

Wrong.

It wont do.

PHONE RINGING:

Allo.

Whos going out?

Ibrahim.

SIRENS:

MUSIC:

HORNS BEEPING:

But I mean as an Egyptian

dealing with other Egyptians

its a little bit

dealing with other Egyptians

its a little bit

aggravating.

aggravating.

People are fighting

all the time,

you see a lot of fights

in the streets.

You know. Definitely

there is something bad

thats going to

happen really soon

I mean I feel that. Could be

in the next 3 to 5 years

If Mobarak passes

away tomorrow,

this countrys going to go

into a lot of trouble until,

until someone strong

tries to fix it.

Know what I mean?

Thats it.

Tell me how you see that

the future for the Arab world

A more modern, more engaged,

more entrepreneurial

and more free

thats the future.

More free?

More free.

I really want to

get out of Tahrir.

Go! Go!

It feels different from day

one of the revolution.

It feels different.

People aredifferent.

Its the same organized

chaos concerning traffic.

The police didnt

do anything before

except taking bribes and money

from people, in the street.

which is like, every block

you had people stopping you

and asking for licenses,

it was a bit ridiculous.

And you documented everything?

I did document, at least...

Tell me how you did that.

Just like Im doing right now.

Because if anything

happened to me,

at least theres some sort of

and nobody knows about it,

because its attached

to my scarf.

You have the kids taking

their photos on them,

people getting married

on top of them

really think theyre

merging with the people...

What?

HORN BEEPING:

My ears going to explode.

Except for why the f*** are

they selling so many flags

you wouldnt think that

somethings happened.

The crowds and the

traffic are the same.

No empty space.

CHANTING:

I really need to try and move.
