- A late lunch'?

- You naughty girl!

I don't drive.

Can you believe that'?

All these nights I had to put a sign

on my car saying "I'm Arab"...

so they don't burn it and I told

my employees to do the same.

Smart, smart.

By the way,

where do you live in America'?

He exiled from Beirut

for being too liberal.

It's all relative.

Hopefully, he has learned not to put

people in the same position he was in.

In English, please, Mina.

For Shawn.

Started running out of

money in Turkey.

I took Spanish in High School

so that made it Spain.

Take a seat.

I worked for six months in

a fabric store in Barcelona.

Saved my money,

ran with the bulls in Pamplona.

- The bulls'?

- Bulls revenge!

I went to Monte Carlo and

couldn't get into one party.

But had the best time trying.

Now I'm here,

and I see no reason to leave yet.

Please, eat.

Millions of people trying to get into

your country and you're never there.

I want to see the world.

The more I travel the more I feel

like a citizen of the planet.

Only a person with the luxury

of being brought up...

in a western country can say that.

I appreciate the empathy,

but sadly we lack the ability...

because of where we are born.

My mom calls it winning

the ovarian lottery.

You know, Mohammed publishes

books and Mina is a doctor...

but when the fundamentalists

took power...

Mina wasn't allowed to

practice or work at all.

Yes, it's true.

When she was caught

treating ill children...

they had to escape and came here.

We're grateful for this country here.

We were granted asylum after we

spent a short time in a shelter.

Shelter... where they met

their daughter Kameela.

Met'?

I love her like my own.

Kameela's real mother sent her

as far from harm as she could.

Her father died owing bad men

and sadly her mother ended in

prostitution in Moscow to pay the debt.

When Kameela became of age...

instead of subjecting her

to her own predicament...

she sent her along the

human traffic lines.

Until she arrived here.

She is the brightest light.

She learned French in 2 months.

I still can't speak.

Yes, you can.

You have to make an effort.

Kameela was like a sponge

when we met her.

I convinced them to allow her

to continue her school...

where she's excelled commendably.

Now she has a scholarship to attend

medical school in America.

- If the visa is approved.

- When.

Yes, when.

Visas are very difficult to get now.

The folly of a few can taint the

lives of many good people.

Good thing you came along.

I was itching to grab this sh*t forever.

Isn't this great?

Now to check out the competition.

Want to come'?

What else are you going to do'?

Just so you know you will die.

Maybe not today.

Eventually.

So, why can't you apply legally'?

Because maybe I'm...

Wanted?

Very...

OK.

I don't know where to find Al Qaeda.

You're the one with the Muslim name.

It's Albanian.

- They're Muslim though.

- Some are.

They are bad guys

with nefarious doings...

but I know where the bad kids live.

Good morning, guys!

Rise and shine, sleepy heads!

It's five o'clock.

- In the morning'?

- No, Knucklehead. 17 o'clock!

- You finally moving in with us'?

- I like my hostel.

- Where's Michael'?

- Those places are dangerous, bro.

Those are just stories.

- Where's Michael'?

- I don't know.

- Where's Michael'?

- Le Bowl.

Want to see people get hurt'?

How do you feel?

How do they feel?

The kid checks his feet and shrugs.

Good. Ready'?

Good.

This is going to be fun.

I hate you, Michael.

I love this guy.

Holy sh*t!

Pierre, take a look at that!

You are a freak of nature!

I almost peed my pants.

I don't believe this guy.

- Please hit this.

- I'll never smoke hash again.

- Adria, this is Michael.

- It's a pleasure.

That's Pierre over there

and those are the girls.

- Aurelie.

- Julie

Come here!

This is where you've been, huh'?

Wait!

Settle down, now.

Let me ask you something.

I want to find someone who can help

me with a passport problem.

- What am I Al Qaeda?

- That's what I said.

Come on, man! You're the one

always wise guy posturing.

I put my money where your look is.

Sh*t, that's a dangerous impression

you're trying to make, my friend.

I know.

But look at her.

Are you going to help me or what'?

I don't know.

Are those real'?

Shut the f*** up!

Who cares when they're that good'?

Yes!

- Who's that'?

- That was Omar.

He's obviously an a**hole.

A sexy one, but still an a**hole.

There goes my little romance.

Hi, I'm Kameela.

I know all about you, young lady.

I just deported Mohammed and Mina.

Come on, if they like you,

you must be OK.

- You should hit back.

- No one's hitting anyone, killer.

I want to go see your baby later,

if you go.

Hey, Ludo you got any

fake ID connections'?

Of course!

Nice! You've done well for

yourself since I was gone.

Look at all my nice new things:

New suits, new Deutch marks.

I always thought you...

had good business sense...

but who uses Swiss francs?

I know what a sensitive

guy you are, Srdjan.

I'm sure you're going to try and push

me into doing something stupid...

so you can shoot me or whatever.

Won't work.

That would have been cool

if I shot you right there.

What makes you think I won't

shoot you for being smart...

or smarter than me'?

Aleks doesn't have any friends.

If we tie him up he'll starve

before anyone checks on him.

Can't just leave him here.

I know you got a gun somewhere

Can't have you running

down the halls after me.

F*** it! We'll take him with us.

Drop him at park.

- You hungry'?

- Starving.

I feel so much better!

Sometimes when I'm hungry

I can't think straight.

I still can't figure out why

I'm so mad at you.

I promise I won't shoot you.

'Cause you got caught and

went to jail and I didn't...

and you had to join the

military and I didn't.

Really'?

Nothing else?

Well, I'm sorry I get so

cranky when I'm hungry.

That f***ing prison food sucked.

You can imagine how much

I was blaming you.

I suggest next time before you

pick up a gun, eat something.

I wasn't there.

I simply wasn't there.

I don't know.

No, I was... tits!

Not you, it's the television.

What are you laughing at'?

Tell them I'll come I'll make

statement in the morning.

Tell them it was Albanians.

Bye!

I already did one.

- No, you didn't.

- So'?

Wait!

No, keep your shoes on.

It's just a game.

I hear they're killing our brothers

and raping our women down there

Don't you think we should

be doing something?

You should.

One person's excuse to fight

is another's reason not to.

Is it possible that we've

done something to them...

and they're just retaliating'?

Rape a Muslim woman'?

You can't even find one to rape.

They keep them hidden.

The last thing I want to do is enlighten

more sheep. Misinformation...

medication, video games...

ignorance!

Easier for me to do

exactly what I want.

Shut up!

- Srdjan! Where are we going?

- Shut up!

Do people really believe this sh*t?
