Sea Shadow Page #3

All this and I got you nothing?

Put the lunch out

- Father

- What?

- I wanted to talk to you about something

- Now is not the time

After lunch

At night

- Hello, father

- Hello, son

- Where's mom?

- On the roof, hanging the laundry

What's in the bag?

Mansoor?

- It'sa gift

-Agift?

- Forwho?

- This guy you don't know

My God, you remind me of my youth

Watch out or your mother will catch you!

God willing, in a few more years, I'll

wed you to Kaltham, Mahmoud's daughter

What do you think?

She's the prettiest girl

in the neighborhood

May her mother's soul rest in peace

- Mansoor!

- The wolf is coming!

Dad, please don't tell her

about the gift

Say that I just left, okay?

- Where's Mansoor?

- He's not here

I heard his voice

- That's the radio

- The radio?

And that kid is out in the street all day?

When will you discipline him? Tell me

When?

Mansoor! Come in

Who's singing?

You don't know who that is?

I'm not sure, but it sounds old

He is the king of love and romance

Abdulmajeed Abdullah

- Doyou love him?

- I adore him

What's this?

Is this for me?

Why?

You have good taste

Maryam! Change your clothes

Jasim is taking us out!

You know...

When I finish school

I'm going to get a job

and buy you a pink dress

and a pink bed for your pink room

- I'll have a pink room?

-Godwilling

-And what will you get Jasim?

- I don't know

What should I get him?

A bride

- What about dad?

- Dad...

Maybe a newoud

And what about Mansoor?

Come on now! Get dressed

Kaltham is going to buy dad a newoud

And nothing for me?

Yes, but I forgot what!

Do you think dad is going

to let me go to university?

- Is that what you want?

- Yes

And to work after I graduate

Then of course he will, why not?

Jasim, do you love dad?

We all love him

But, he changed

After mom died

the world became

a different place for him

Yes, Ibrahim!

Mansoor!

- What's up dude?

- What?

What?! What's the matter with you?

You haven't been yourself

since yesterday

What, is it a girl?

You naughty dog!

Who?

Do I know her?

Tell me

I'll tell you later

What a shame!

Hiding from your friend?

Just tell me her name!

Only the first letter

-Sultan, I told you, I'll tell you later

-Later, huh?

Okay

Then let's do something

Like what?

We haven't barbecued crabs

by the beach for a while

How about tonight?

Doing anything by the beach is nice

Anything by the beach is nice?

You're such a sweetheart!

Ge tup, let'sgo

Abu Dhabi?

Have you lost your mind?

You changed your life and your looks

that's your business

But don't interfere with my daughters

their home is here

How can I not interfere, father?

- They're my sisters too

- Your sisters are comfortable here

The girls need care

Kaltham has grown up

She is not a child anymore

And you spend all day

with your pigeon sand plants

I didn't say that

I only wanted them to come with me

- I want you to be with us too

- I don't want to go anywhere!

Father

the school year is about to start

You're going to enjoy it there

Life there is dimerent

Just give it a try

at least for a while

I'm not leaving this house

this is my place!

A lot of people left these houses

and they moved to new places

Who's left around you?

No one, exceptfor a fewworkers

Is this the life you want for the girls?

Look, don't give me a headache now

Ifyou want to stay, then stay

But my life and my daughters

are none of your business

Otherwise, leave and

go back to where you came from

- Jasim, hello

- Hello

- How are you Mansoor?

- I'm good, it's been a long time

Yes, I've been busy

- Is this your new car?

- Yes

Listen, I'm busy now, let's talk later

We are going to grill

some crabs by the beach

What?

Wanna join usfor some

grilled crabs on the beach?

My friend and I are going tonight

It would be nice for you to come

- Well, I'm not sure...

- We'll prepare everything

You just have to come

It's been such a long time

since I last ate crabs by the sea

Great, we'll wait for you then

Okay, I'm going

to meet my friend Ibrahim

and we'll catch up with you later

Deal

Same place, by the way

This scent reminds me of old times

Time changes everything

Places...

People...

You too, yes, we barely see you

Nobody stays

in the same place forever

So everything

in the neighborhood is now old?

Yes, everything is now old

I'm old, you're old

Even these crabs are old

Jasim, what music do you listen to?

I listen to everything

but more of the new stuff

Girls like music

Girls love music

When you fall in love

dedicate a song for your girl

Every couple that are in love

have a song that describes their love

Music and songs

that's what this gathering needs

Noman, I don't feel like it now

Ibrahim!

Jasim

Where can I buy all

of Abdulmajeed Abdullah's songs?

- The entire collection?

- Yeah

Look for them at the record stores

I went to several ones here

and I didn't find it

And why do you want

the entire collection?

My mother loves his songs

Then try Dubai

There's a shop called Virgin

you'll definitely find it there

-Where, in Dubai?

- Here you go

Ibrahim, I'm really not in the mood

Look, it's been long

since I heard you play

Plus, the boys want

to hear you play the guitar too

Yes,we do

Of course we want to hear you play

especially Mansoor

Why? Is he in love?

Okay then

this is for you Mansoor

- Sultan, will you come with me to Dubai?

- Dubai? Whatfor?

- I want to buy something

- What?

- Don't tell me, a perfume bottle?

- No!

- What then?

- I want Abdulmajeed's complete collection

Abdulmajeed who?

- Abdulmajeed Abdullah

- But Dubai isfar

We'll leave tomorrow afternoon

and be back before sunset

- Okay

- Okay

How will we get there? Taxi?

Taxi is expensive dude

We'll take the bus from here

then the metro

- What if the metro doesn't get to it?

- It will

- You know it operates without a driver?

- Really?

Really!

Never mind that now a trip like that

is expensive, do you have money?

Dubai isn't like here

I'll sell my bike

Then how are you going

to deliver the sherbet? By foot?

- Your mother will kill you

- I'll deal with that

- How will you deal with that?

- I'll borrow your bike

Really? You think you figured it out?

Even so, how much do you think

an old bike like yours is worth?

Listen, I have some savings

I'll ask my dad for some money

And I'll put it to what I get

from selling the bike

- Fine, as you wish, tomorrow then

- Okay

Anything by the beach is nice, huh?

It's too hot for him to be locked

outside, he's going to pass out

That should teach him a lesson

not to climb other people's walls

like a thief!

And on top of that, I sent him to deliver

sherbet and he charges people for delivery?

What will the neighbors think of me now?

- Then stop sending him out

- What are you talking about?

I'm telling you he's asking for money

And I'm telling you to open

the door for him, don't be cruel

You go open it

- Are you going anywhere today?
