No!

I can't hear a vord

you're saying!

What about the deers?

- What I'm trying to say is--

- wait, Leila,

you have to hear this.

Come here, come here.

I'm sorry, Leila, I have

something to tell you.

- Wait, where's maman?

- She's sleeping.

Anyway, I got my first

big case today.

Yeah? What is it?

This big shot American client

wants me to follow his wife

to see if she's

cheating on him.

Ooh.

And she is hot.

Super-duper hot.

- Just sexy--

- congratulations.

Thanks. But not a word

to maman, okay?

Because I don't want her

to think

that I'm ignoring

my job at the market.

Sure. I won't

tell her anything.

Hey, I have an idea.

What if I was your sidekick?

No, that's the worst idea

I have ever heard in my life.

I mean, it's just

not a good idea.

It's very dangerous.

You can't be involved

with that.

But I could totally help you.

I could drive you in my car,

I have a magnifying glass

and everything.

Besides, I'm totally bored

at my dad's pharmacy.

How many urinary tract

infections can I cure?

"I got uti, I got uti.

I got uti."

just drink the damn

cranberry juice.

Okay, calm down.

I'll drink it.

Thanks for the offer,

but I have trained for

this line of work.

You can't just get into it

like it's no big deal.

That's the--

the point is,

I don't need a sidekick.

Good night.

Good night for now,

Jimmy vestvood.

But you're gonna need

a sidekick,

and you're gonna

get one whether you

like it or not.

Shh-hh!

Saturday,

10:
11 A.M., Malibu beach.

Very private area.

V-v-v-vip.

Top of the line.

I vill gonna go

deep undercover.

Hey, watch it!

Sorry. Excuse me.

Take care.

Have a nice day.

You're kicking sand

in my eyes.

Agh!

Oh, Jimmy.

- Homayoun?

- Jimmy. Hi.

Uh, Jimmy. This is Freddy.

My friend.

Freddy, meet Jimmy.

Nice to meet you, Freddy.

Hi. Nice to--

homayoun,

what's going on here?

What do you mean?

I mean, what's going on

with you?

Oh, with me?

I'm here on a case.

As a private investigator.

I did it.

But don't tell your dad, okay?

He would fire me.

And vorse,

he would tell my mother.

We wouldn't

want that now, uh-hh...

You know what, I won't tell

if you won't tell, huh?

Oh-hh, yeah.

Don't vorry, homayoun,

your secret is safe

with me, okay?

You know, in our community,

being a private investigator

is almost as bad

as being gay.

So I know

what you're going through.

What?

It must be hard

to have a gay lover.

I have no idea

what you're talking about.

I'm talking about him,

Freddy, your gay lover.

- What?

- This guy. Freddy.

- The black guy.

- Yeah.

You have gay sex with?

In the butt?

Okay, okay.

We know how it works.

- I'm talking about him.

- Okay.

It's not right, homayoun,

that you can't be you.

You know, you should

be you, okay?

If you are gay,

you should be gay.

If you're not gay,

then don't be gay.

Who am I to judge?

Listen, homayoun,

what I'm trying to say is,

don't ask, don't tell.

If you see something,

say something.

Ask not what your country

will gonna do for you,

but what your country

will gonna do for you.

Homayoun, be gay.

You're a gay angel.

You're a "Gayngel."

some of the worst people

I know are straight.

Agh!

It's time for you to climb

out of the cabinet.

You mean come out

of the closet?

Climb, if you

have to jump, hike,

do it,

whatever it takes.

Think about that.

Yeah, you should

put that on the card.

I'm so happy we had

this time to talk.

I have to go, guys.

- Thank you for the advice.

- Shh.

Oh my god, I am so sorry.

You know what?

It's your turn, huh?

Here we go.

Mr. Westwood?

Mrs. Monroe?

- Mr. Westwood.

- What a surprise.

Well, I'm surprised

to see you too.

Well, this is my friend, malek.

He's from Arabia.

Alhamdulillah,

alhamdulillah.

Me? Eh, you know,

on the weekends

I work as a lifeguard.

Help me. I'm drowning!

Help. Help me.

That man. He's drowning.

You just said you're

a lifeguard.

Oh, no, you see...

and he is drowning

in tower number 6.

You know if I tried to help him,

my boss would kill me.

Brett has it covered.

So where were we?

I go for exercise.

Mr. Westwood?
