Senegal.

Oh, I was in Cape Town

two summers ago.

It is so beautiful.

- Thank you very much.

- What's your name?

Uh, Zainab.

Zainab!

So pretty.

- Thank you.

- Your change.

How far is Senegal from Cape Town?

About 8,000 kilometers.

I told this guy yesterday

I was from Israel.

He asked if I ever visited the Holy Land.

Hey, look who it is!

- Zev.

- What's up, Tarek?

How are you, man?

Good, man.

Hey, honey.

Hi. Hi, Walter.

Hi.

Her stuff is great, right?

Beautiful.

She made me this.

It's very nice.

So Walter and I

are goin' up to the park

to play for a little bit, okay?

Tarek. Remember I told you

we have to pick up

my new table today?

He said he'll only hold it for today.

Oh, I know, I know. No problem.

Tarek, you always say "No problem,"

and then you are late or you forget.

I know. I... I will not be long.

We will go up and play,

and we'll come back to help you.

It's a promise, habibti.

It's always habibti

when you want to win, huh?

Good-bye.

Bye.

He closes at 5 p.m., Tarek.

No Arab time.

No, not Arab time.

Real time, habibti.

Don't habibti me, man.

What does habibti mean?

Habibti? It means "beloved one."

Does she know that?

I always wanted to play down here.

It's supposed to be good money.

Why haven't you?

Maybe we could do it together...

split the profits.

What do you think?

I think I'll just watch.

Come on, Walter, it's easy.

You just wait until you feel it.

Yeah, let's go.

Oh...

That was fun, right?

Oh, yeah.

How are your hands?

They're...

Oh, sh*t. We have to get home.

Zainab's gonna kill me.

I'm on Arab time again.

What is Arab time?

It means I'm late by an hour.

All Arabs are late by an hour.

It's genetic. We can't help it.

I think that's our train.

I'm gonna need a token.

No, I got you. I got you.

Here's our train. Come.

Here, I got you. Let...

I'm stuck, man.

Here, take it.

This way, please.

What are you doing?

NYPD.

Step this way, please.

Police? What do you want?

You jumped the turnstile, man.

I did not jump it. I paid.

Sir, he... he paid... Please.

But he paid...

Sir, stand over there!

Got anything else, Tarek?

No. Where you from?

I'm from Syria. Why?

What's in the bag?

It's my drum.

Put this back in your pocket, please, sir.

Step over here.

- Why? I'm sorry...

- Step over here, please.

What did I do?

Oh, come on. Come on.

- I don't think that's necessary.

- Yeah, well, we do.

You can come down to the station

- and make a statement if you want.

- But he didn't...

Sir! That's all I'm saying!

Now, step back,

or we're gonna take you in, too.

Where are you taking him?

Walter, take the drum.

Tell Zainab what happened,

but don't let her come.
