"Do whatever you want,

"but take care,

don't make trouble.

"Take care of your health."

You know,

the way mothers talk.

Don't you miss them?

You know...

I miss them,

but there's nothing I can do.

I can't go back.

I'm afraid.

Maybe things will calm down

in a few years

Who knows?

They might calm down.

Maybe they'll think it over

and forget the whole thing.

In a few years.

I can only hope for the best.

Only the one who brought us together

can tear us apart

Only the one who brought us together

can tear us apart

This is my love

who captured my heart

Oh, father,

who captured my heart...

Do you sing Umm Kulthum?

Do remember any of her songs?

Your eyes took me back

To days gone b)'

Taught me to regret

The past and its wounds

What I've seen...

Tell me about it...

- Tell me about it

Before my eyes saw you...

What a beautiful song.

I was lost...

You know, Abdu,

I've been here for 10 years,

a long time...

and I never thought I'd meet

another Arab like me,

you know?

And that we'd be singing in Arabic.

I never thought it would happen.

I said... "That's it.

"I'll never have Arab friends again."

Let me tell you something.

F*** it, no matter what happens.

- Don't curse.

I'm not.

No matter what happens,

I'll stay a Palestinian.

Even if I get caught

by the Israeli Secret Service,

or the CIA, or the Mossad,

I don't f***ing care.

I'll never stop being a Palestinian.

- Of course.

I'll never change.

Even if they make me wear

a Star of David,

even if they put a yarmulke on my head,

I'll always be a Palestinian.

You know why I wear

a Star of David?

I get it, I get it.

I wear it to keep the police

off my back.

I get it.

The Palestinians won't accept us

because we're gay,

and the Israelis won't accept us because

we're Palestinians without a permit

and we're "illegal."

It makes me sick.

Go live abroad.

F*** the Middle East.

We don't need Israel or Palestine,

Jews or Christians or Muslims.

Everyone here hates everyone else.

Why? Why should I hate you?

To Abdu!

To Abdu!

You'll now be reborn and free

in a new country.

To freedom!

I hope you come back and visit.

God willing.

Everything will be all right,

God willing.

You just take care.

Talk to the lawyer,

and we'll keep in touch

through email.

OK.

- Take care.

I will,

you take care of yourself.

With God's help,

I'll be fine.

Goodbye.

We'll keep in touch.

Abdu left Tel Aviv

and Louie was still waiting

for a final answer on his asylum.

Abud.

Louie, habibi, how are you?

- I miss you.

What's up?

- All's good, God bless.

But how are you doing?

Is it cold there'?

Yes, it's a bit cold at night.

I've got something to tell you. I have
