Aunty, okay?

I can't leave my son here.

- I'm sorry if I bothered you.

- No, no.

No, no bother.

Don't worry, we'll--

We'll get this

straightened out.

- You alright?

- Yeah, thank you.

Okay.

Mr. Novatski.

What's going on?

This woman's son was brought in

a few hours ago on assault charges.

Right, and the charges

were dropped.

Not exactly.

Because of the nature

of the complaint,

- we have to investigate further.

- So investigate,

but why my son

have to stay here?

Look, I know

these boys very well.

- I'm sure you do, Mr. Novatski.

- Just they're having a hard time

getting along with each other,

but that's it.

It's nothing that requires

any further investigation.

We're dealing with some

serious accusations, sir.

No, they're not accusations.

They're just-- They're silly rumours

started by kids who have no idea

what they're saying.

We'd love to take

your word for it,

but we take this sort of thing

extremely seriously.

I mean, I don't have to tell you

what's going on in the world.

I understand that,

but you're making

a big mistake here.

This is a 16-year old boy.

I mean, he's harmless.

Like I said, this is

a special circumstance.

Cut the crap!

This is no special circumstance.

This is a boy trying

to defend his mother.

He presents no threat

to anybody.

If I'm--

If I'm wrong,

you... you can hold me

personally responsible.

Salma.

This-- This just sucks.

Sorry, Mom.

Hello.

Welcome to the White Castle.

What are you craving?

Don't look at me.

I don't want any of this.

I just want a cheeseburger.

- Me too!

- I'll have one too, Mom.

- Not before dinner!

- Yeah, Raghda, you are so strict.

They are not.

You will see.

- Hi!

- Hi.

You work today.

Thank you.

Ah, very good!

You are getting better.

- Hello.

- Oh, Mr. Novatski.

Please, call me Stan.

I just, uh... I'm just here

to pick up some food.

Stan, it's too bad

I can't sit with you.

- We are going to eat.

- Oh, well.

- Have a good time.

- Thank you!

Why don't you

come with us?

No, no,

I-- I couldn't.

It's better than the White Castle.

Come on!

Oh, you will like it.

Come on!

It's very kind of you.

I'm just gonna come

and say hello.

- No, it's okay.

- That's fine.

- Hi, I'm Mr. Novatski.

- Hi! Hi.

- Nice to see you.

- Yeah. Nice to see you.

Please come and eat with us.

Arabic food--

- It's the best in the world.

- No, I can't.

- I-- The best in the world.

- Yalla, yalla.

- You sure there's room?

- Yes, yes. Welcome.

All right.

But why are they

all eating cheeseburgers?

Do you like Arabic music?

I like this.

If you like it,

you have a good taste.

Okay.

What happened

to your diet, Aunty?

You gotta stay strong.

- No, no, eat it.

- I will. I will.

How is it?

See... Herbal here.

Um, just inhale.

Yes, yes, yes.

Keep it, keep it, keep it...

Where did it go?
