Rabat Page #4

Synopsis: It's summer, and recent college graduate Nadir has accepted to drive his father's old taxi from their home in the Netherlands to his family's home country of Morocco to deliver it to a friend. Without notice his two friends Abdel and Zakaria join him on the trip. Nadir doesn't want to waste time, but his friends insist on picking up a French hitchhiker and letting her show them around Barcelona. We eventually learn that there is more to the trip for Nadir than just delivering a car, and it becomes a conflict that threatens the three men's friendship.

What? When?

Last night.

- Why?

What d'you think?

Seven is way too early man.

Come on, man.

I want to shower first.

- Me too.

Didn't you shower last night?

- No.

What did you do while I was on the phone?

Watched TV.

Okay, have a shower, but hurry.

Where's breakfast then?

Let's try the supermarket.

- I'll drive.

Hey, you know...

- I'll ride shotgun.

You think this is nice on bread?

Honest?

- No, man.

And?

You look like a f*ggot.

How far have we got?

- Not far. We're here now.

I hope to reach Southern Spain tonight.

We'll sleep, drive to Algeciras,

take the boat and get to Rabat later.

Nearly halfway?

- No, we're not even in Barcelona.

With the boat trip and Morocco,

we've only done a third.

Don't get oil on the hood.

- Take it easy.

That's it. Let's hurry.

Shotgun!

- No, you already used shotgun once.

And?

- You can't use it twice a day.

Let alone twice an hour!

- You're joking?

The whole idea is you can use it all the time.

Talk to him!

You saw that girl?

No, no, no.

No way!

Why not?

It's not a good idea to take hitchers.

- What the f***! You think she'll rob us?

He's only stopping because she's hot.

- And not a bearded man with axe?

That's not the point.

- You just want to stop because she's pretty!

Okay, this is the deal:

My friend in the back, he's scared...

...so promise us that

you won't rob, rape or kill us.

I won't.

If you guys promise me the same thing.

Take it easy!

Honest. If we want to do that,

wouldn't we drive around in a normal car?

Come on, it'll be a long time before

I'm Nadir.

- Hi, I'm Julie.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Zakaria.

And this is our Pakistani driver

Dooby Dooby.

I'm Abdel.

You know they were joking...

About me being scared?

Yeah, I know.

That's good, 'cos I'm not.

I'm just more cautious than these guys.

It's a crazy world.

You hear the craziest stories.

So, where are you from?

- Lyon. And you?

Holland.

Have you heard of

Hatem Ben Arfa?

No, no.

He's this great Tunisian soccer player,

played for Olympic Lyon.

Don't ask the girl about Tunisian football.

As if it even exists.

If it exists? Are you nuts?

- Are you nuts?

who f***ed who?

You understand?

Don't pay any attention,

they're always like that.

Oh, I love that song.

Yeah, I love it too.

Yeah?

- Yeah you like it too?

What's it about?

What's the song about?

What are you doing?

- What's it about?

It's just a nice song you know, my mother

used to play it, it reminds me of her.

Yeah...

Spain

Good afternoon. What would you like?

- Coffee with milk.

For me as well, with extra sugar.

I'll have a coke.

A cafe con leche and a coke.

Gracias.

So you speak Spanish?

- Just a bit.
