It's, you know...

You... you see that book there?

It has no cover on it, huh?

Uh-huh, yes.

That book... it used to have a cover.

I remember I read this cover,

you know, when it has a cover on it.

It was saying that Harry Potter,

it has seven book, you know?

You guys only have six book.

Huh?

I don't know what to tell you... I...

- You know how long I'm asking for this book?

No, you don't. You're new.

Two years.

Imagine, two years I'm asking you

guys to give me this last book.

You know what happens

at the end of book six?

- No.

- No.

- I...

- You know, me,

always, always thinking that

Snape is a bad guy, okay?

Then I was thinking, no,

actually, he is not a bad guy...

he is the good guy.

Then after I read the book six,

- I don't know what to think now.

- Do you want this book or not?

You're not listening, huh?

- I read this book...

- No, no.

You are not listening to me.

...10 times.

I read this book.

- I want the new book.

- I'm telling you we don't have it.

It ain't here.

What we have is on the cart.

What do you want?

Give me the "Azkaban" instead.

Is that one of these arab books?

"Prisoner of Azkaban," book number three.

Yeah.

Here you go.

Hey. What... what...

what else do you got?

I got books, and I got newspapers.

Use your eyes.

I'm using my eyes.

That newspaper is two months old.

Now, why do I have to know

the news for two months old?

So, you're good then?

Hold on your horses, huh?

No one is going nowhere here...

at least, I'm not.

What is that picture?

That book.

No, no, go.

Go, go. Go.

Too much.

Go back.

Uh-huh.

What is it?

"My Antonia."

Is it a good book or...

I don't know. I haven't read it.

Okay. Just tell me what the cover says,

on the back.

"In 19th century Nebraska,

the spirited daughter of an immigrant..."

Nebraska?

You said... what was it?

It... it's a place in America.

Okay. Uh-huh.

That... what kind of place is this?

Nebraska?

Flat.

Flat.

Time's up.

- Hey.

- Keep it moving.

Hey, I... moptop?

Bad timing, okay?

Me and blondie... we were having

a very beautiful conversation.

Uh-huh.

And you come here always trying

to be a big f***ing a**hole.

You know what?

I think you guys don't have

the lastHarry Potter on purpose.

You like to drive us crazy.

But I'm not going crazy.

Huh? Happy me.

I'm not going crazy... not me!

At 2100, detainees on Charlie block

complained of a foul-smelling

odor coming from ventilation.

Maintenance was called.

At 2200, detainee 9-1-2 was found with

seven strings of different colors.

He appeared to be weaving them

together, possibly to form a weapon.

At 0500, detainee 4-9 was transferred

to medical for pain in the abdomen.

Diagnosis was constipation.

We have 3-6 moves scheduled,

3-8 moves completed.

All detainees accounted for.

Atten-hut!

Honor bound.

To defend freedom.

Hey, blondie,

tell me...

how do you like it here so far?

Huh?

Blondie.

Where are you from?

Okay, tell me your name.

No?

My name is Ali...

Ali Amir.

Here, they call me 4-7-1.

You don't like to talk?

Always, it's like that. Why?

I don't know why you guys...

you don't like to talk with us.

You and us... we are both stuck here.

It is boring for both of us.

And you and me got nothing

to say to each other.

Okay. You don't like to read

Harry Potter book?

You don't like to read that book about...

what was that place, the flat place?

Uh, Nebraska?

Tell me what you like to read, huh?

Oh! You are a soldier.

And soldiers... they don't like books.

I thought you only read the Qur'an.

The Qur'an, yes.

We... I-I've read it one million times.

You know what?

Ehan, there in 108... he has

memorized it, the whole book.

Hey, Ehan!

Tell something to blondie from the Qur'an.

I think he's trying to tell

you to leave me alone.

Ehan!

Hey, blondie.

You know, I read your Bible, too.

My opinion about Bible is the first

half of the book... it is very good.

It has armies, plenty of magic,

which I like very much... things like that.

But, you know, the second half...

it has some magic, but not too much.

It is boring.

Well, you don't diss my holy book...

I won't diss yours.

So you're Christian?

Tell me something...

how did you pick your Christianity?

It was your parents, hmm?

And cut the Hannibal Lecter sh*t.

Just keep it down.

What?

What is Hannibal Lecter?

I said, keep it down.

Yeah. I'm... I'm trying to

understand what you are telling me.

You were saying that stop Hannibal Lecter,

so I have to know what Hannibal

Lecter is, then I stop doing that.

He's a guy in a movie that talks too much.

I haven't heard about this movie.

Well, it's probably banned

where you're from, anyway.

You mean in Germany?

Huh?

I'm... hey.

I'm... hey!

I'm talking with you, blondie!

Okay. I-I-it's... it's

no more talking, huh?

Huh?

You are always trying to

be all of you a**holes.

I don't know how I cannot get one soldier

here who likes to talk about books.

Okay. You don't like to talk.

Bring me some water, please.

Blondie. I'm thirsty.

Where's your Qur'an?

Are you giving me

some water, please, or not?

Okay, you bring me the water...

I stop talking, I promise.

You wouldn't need this if you

didn't talk so damn much.

Ah!

Sh*t.

Sh*t. Are you all right?

- Oh, man, let me help you.

- Motherf***er.

Clean yourself up.

We'll take care of this.

Hey, back the f*** up

and shut the bean hole.

He's probably got another cocktail.

Oh, f***.

Quiet down.

4-7-1, take the towel down now.

- F*** you!

- Take it down now!

No, no.

We need to call an Irf.

Hold on.

Open that thing.

No, no. No.

- We need to call an Irf.

- Calm down.

I'm already covered in his sh*t!

Open it up!

We are not opening the f***ing bean hole.

- Now, you need to calm down.

- No, we are not opening that up.

You stupid f***ers...Huh?!

I went to university!

I know my rights!

Hey, back up, f***er!

Sh*t. One more time.

Open the f***ing thing up.

"F" you.

Do it!

Back away from the door.

Nice. Nice, nice. Nice, nice.

Good, good, good, good, good. Good.

Yeah, b*tch.

- Nice.

- Sh*t, he's got a second towel.

Seriously?

F***.

Sh*t, man.

Irf him.

You Americans treat us like animals?!

Okay, I am an animal!

Bravo two, code one, Charlie Bronson.

Oh, watch yourselves.

If they start covering their Qur'ans,

it means they're gonna start

throwing sh*t around!

You don't read anything!

I read book!

I read history!

I can't win!

Irf! Irf! Irf!

Cocktail?

Sir, yes, sir.

At ease.

Did medical check you out yet?

Yes, sir. I'm fine.

Why don't you, uh, take it easy

for the rest of the shift?

See if observation needs any help.

Thank you, sir.

I'm fine.

Use the vinegar.

It helps with the smell.

Hey.

Mmm. Cole, you smell amazing.

What's that you're wearing... chanel no. 2?

Mm-hmm.

You better watch yourself with those.

They drug them to keep them docile.

Sh*t. No, they don't.

Hey. What are you doing here?

Did medical check you out?
