An old bone...

Different ideologies...

And he is weak, not like you.

Can't handle that machine

that he has got.

By the way, Yehia.

How do you think Lobna

would live, if he died?

I don't know.

And I wouldn't wish her so.

Believe me...

Her life would be better.

Listen to me...

Enough of your imaginations.

Imagination is not a fault.

What is, is to hide it inside of you

and only let it out

when you're drunk.

That's not very courageous.

You know, yehia...

If time goes back...

I would still not let you marry her.

You wouldn't have longed for her

like you do now.

She would have been like your wife, Nermin.

Boring...

And silly.

I told you already, this is a dead story.

Ok, let's have the same conversation

but after drinking a couple of glasses.

You still like whiskey, right?

Ok, finish, I need to talk with you.

Sherif!

Sherif!

Sherif!

Ashraf!

Ashraf!

Increase to 300!...300!

Yehia!

The shirt!

Wait outside please!

Please, wait outside!

Hi!

Come in!

Do you have an appointment

or first time?

Are you the owner of this place?

Mrs. Diga is the owner

but she is busy in a session right now.

Diga!, she is foreign, right?

No, Diga, Khadiga, nickname.

Hmm, Diga, Khadiga.

I will wait for her.

Come inside.

Don't forget the cream, 3 times a day.

Bird of prey?

A feathery hawk?

A bull with big horns?

Horns?!

Or a scorpion?

No, I think that there

is a misunderstanding here.

I am...

Ok.

Come.

Roselle, from Yemen, you will like it.

Is it your first tattoo?

There is a misunderstanding

if you will let me explain.

Very good drink.

I am here to ask

about a job you did before.

This one.

Molly!

Molly!

Did he send you?

There is a misunderstanding.

I sweared I won't let him leave

if he ever approaches here again.

I am a doctor.

I am really sorry.

Ok, Molly!

Haven't you ever kicked

something before?

What am I going to do

with your apology?

Again, I am really sorry.

But this guy in the photo

gave me a double fracture.

Are you the one who

gave him this tattoo?

No, I am the one who tried

to remove it, but failed.

Tell me what happened.

This guy is completely insane.

He was mumbling unintelligible words.

What I understood from him, is that he

wanted to remove his tattoo immediately.

And it could only be removed using Laser.

But this is very painful.

As soon as I turned on the machine

he looked at me, laughing, and broke my arm.

And this explains what I did to you.

Does this drawing have any meaning to it?

I have never seen anything like it before.

The style is eastern.

But I am sure that it

was done outside Egypt.

We don't have this

kind of machines here.

What about this one on her thigh?

No, this looks like henna

the cheap stuff found at the beaches.

Why weren't you answering your phone?

I was worried.

Nothing...

I went back to work.

Really, you went back

to the crazy people?

Do you need money?

No, Maya!, I don't need money.

But I was bored.

Time for some change.

Change?

What about a trip to "Dahab".

Spend the weekend there...please!

Maya!, I have a lot of troubles

tone it down, please.

Look, I brought a new stuff with me that

can make you run up the pyramids.

And there is a surprise also...please!

What do you think?

"Absinth!"

I sweared I won't drink it without you.

Good girl.

Long time...

Ok.

Yehia!, who's this Lobna?

That's an old story

that ended before it even began.

But, your way of talking

about her says otherwise.

Can't you see how you look?

Maya!, you are drunk, darling!

I am not, and if you don't

tell me, I will leave.

Sit down!, you have no where else to go.

Lobna is an old love story.

I haven't seen her for 10 years

and each has gone his separate way.

Do you still love her?

The lighter, darling!

Do you realize that you've never

told me that you love me.

Because I don't.

Maya, we are just friends.

And we've agreed on that

from the first day.

Sometimes we need each

other for a benefit.

But this has nothing to

do with friendship.

You have a strange mind, indeed!

I told you that I love you the

next day after we slept together.

Even if I got married

I will probably come and visit you.

Both of you will come

visit me, or what?

Stop it...

Sometimes I wonder

why I never get bored of you.

You are really strange.

What do you mean strange?

with three legs?

Nice one...where did you get that from?

You have a dirty mind!

Am I the one with the dirty mind?!

Very...

Let's go inside.

Maya!, don't you ever feel

sympathy towards me?

Don't spoil the mood, and relax.

I have something else for you

forget all of this.

What's this?

This is the blue elephant, darling.

You won't believe this stuff.

This is it's first time in Egypt.

LSD?

You know that synthetic

drugs aren't my type.

LSD is child's play.

This is called...D.M.T.

A substance discovered to be produced

in the brain of a dying person.

Which helps him relax while

anticipating his next life.

A one hour journey.

Where you will see what you've

never imagined possible.

You know that I don't try unknown drugs.

Aren't you saying that your

life is broken down?

What do you have to lose?

It changed the lives of

those who tried it.

Go on.

Run away.

Maya!

Maya!

Maya!

Maya!

Maya!

Maya!

Maya!

Maya!

Dog!

Dog!

What happened?

What's wrong?

What's wrong, Maya?!

Dog!

Calm down.

Dog!, Dog!, Dog!

Maya!

Dog!, Dog!, Dog!

Yehia!

Sorry!

Are you ok?

Listen...

Wait for me upstairs, I will finish

this round and come up to you.

Shakir is still upset

but I will sort it out.

Hello!

Yehia!

Yehia!

Where are you?

Have you heard what happened?

Maya!

Maya is dead, Yehia!

She was hit by a car in the Ma'adi area.

Was she...

Was she with you?

Hello!

Yes darling, my prayers with you.

Yehia, can you please take

care of your blood sugar issue.

Who gave you the phone?

Who killed Maya, Yehia?

How strange the human being is!

How could you let her

go out in that condition?!

I didn't touch her.

The photos on your phone say otherwise.

What photos, Sherif?!

Sherif again?!

Always confusing me with you friend.

I will seriously become upset.

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT ME TO CALL YOU?!

Calm down, Yehia!, calm down.

Tell me...

Maya or Lobna?

Who is more delicious?

If you are a real man

say this in front of my face.

Now I think that you will

devote yourself to Lobna.

Like how you killed Basma to devote

yourself to another woman?!

Correct?

Unfortunately, I am always

the scapegoat to any whim.

Where is the phone that you have got?

Where is the phone that you have, Sherif?

What?...What?

What?, Yehia, stop it.

Where is the phone?

You wrongfully accused me, my friend.

By the way...

I need to have a session with you, urgently.

A session?!

I am really worried about this

whole phone hallucinations thing.

And...

I haven't been excercising

psychiatry for a while now

I am worried that I might

forget the profession.
