The Party Is Over Page #6

Sana!

N-Natan.

What...

I saw them.

What? What are you doing here?

I saw your parents.

What? Where?

In your house.

You were spying on my parents?

No, I was spying on you.

Dude, are you psycho? Do I need

to start carrying pepper spray?

I wanted to

see your hair.

Oh, 'cause that makes me

feel so much better.

You lied to me.

How did I lie to you?

You said your parents lock you

up and don't let you date.

That's bullshit. I saw

them boozing and smoking,

just like normal

degenerate Americans.

They're not strict or religious.

You lied to me

because you're insecure

about somebody liking you.

First off, how do you know

how strict they are?

Just because they aren't

religious doesn't mean

they don't still have

control over my life.

I still live at home, they still

give me money for school,

and, yeah,

they are still strict.

I don't believe you.

Fine.

I don't care.

Man, don't you get it?

I don't care about you.

My religion is a convenient,

but valid excuse

to keep you

away from me.

I respectfully disagree.

Listen, what is it

that you want?

You're like a f***ing bank robber that

hasn't thought out his next move.

I mean, what is

the plan here?

Am I supposed to be

wooed by your persistence?

Or maybe I should find this

peeping-tom act flattering.

What is it

that you want?

I want to meet your dad.

What?

I want to speak

to your father.

Whatever. Fine.

I hope you f***ing

embarrass yourself.

Hey.

Baba, this is my friend.

Hi. I'm Yusif.

Nice to meet you.

Natan.

Oh, Natan, yeah. I've heard

a little bit about you.

How's everything going?

Good.

Everything's good.

I'm just... school.

I was actually...

I was just saying

"what's up" to sana.

Well, it's nice to meet you.

Do you want to come in?

No, uh, I don't mean

to bother you,

sir...

Uh... well, I was

hoping to request

an audience with you and your wife.

Oh, my god.

You mean, you want to

talk to me and my wife?

Yeah, um, but in

a formal setting...

You know, like afternoon tea

or dinner or something.

Are you inviting yourself to dinner?

I'm sorry. I don't understand.

Do you know what I'm getting at?

Unfortunately, yes.

Sana, what's going on?

Sir, I'd like to

request an audience

with you and your wife

to ask your permission...

To marry your daughter.

So that's what

this is all about?

Is this the final stage of the

transformation? Is this how it works?

Sometimes.

Yeah, great. Come over

for dinner this Friday.

We'll, uh, discuss

your request.

Great. I'm looking

forward to it, sir.

Mm. Oh, but, Natan,

I have a request too.

Anything.

Well, I think if

we're going to, uh,

talk openly about

such serious things,

you should wear what you

feel most comfortable in.

Father!

Excuse me?

Sana tells me

you like to wear

women's clothing,

that it makes you feel

more comfortable.

If you're going to be

a part of this family,

I think it's something we should

consider trying to get used to.

Uh...

All right.

Yeah, uh,

i can do that.

Great, great.

Well, I'll see you

Friday, then.

Sana, honey,

I'll see you later.

( Laughs )

Okay, you can talk now.

What the f***, Nia?

What the hell is going on? Did you know

i was arrested for sexual assault?

I had to tell my family

that technically, yes,

I did in fact

physically do

what the Los Angeles police

department described to them.

I might have a criminal record

as a f***ing sex offender!

I'm not gonna be able

to live near parks

or coach my kids' little league team.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Did I hurt you? Did I go

too far or something?

No, no, no, no.

It's my fault.

It's all my fault.

Tell me what happened.

It was David.

He saw the bruises and

the door, and he just...

He just flipped out.

He was out-of-his-mind upset.

He threatened to

tell my parents

if I didn't.

It was such a mess. So you

told your parents it was me?

I don't know.

I just froze up.

They just kept asking me

over and over again

what happened,

and all I could do was cry,

and then I eventually just

blurted out your name.

I didn't know

what to do.

What should I have done? Said

someone broke in the house?

Yes. That, exactly.

I didn't want to

start a manhunt

for some innocent

Mexican immigrant.

So you sent them

across the street to me?

Well, it was...

It was you who did it,

and it would make sense,

and it's easier to fix.

It's a little late.

Please don't be

mad at me.

I promise

I'll fix it.

I didn't mean to

get you in trouble.

I know you didn't even

want to do it.

But I did. And that's

why I'm f***ed!

No, no. You're not.

Don't worry, Fino.

I'll tell them everything.

I promise.

I'll fix it.

We'll see.

I got to...

I got to go.

No, no, stay

for just a little bit.

Why?

I don't know.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Come on, just for a little bit.

Hey. Come on, what are

you trying to do?

I don't know.

What do you want from me?

I want us

to be together.

What, now? Why not? We

work so good together.

That's not the way

i want to work.

I know, but...

But maybe

we can compromise,

meet somewhere

in the middle.

Half-half,

rough and slow,

good and bad.

F*** that.

I told you

it was the last time.

I can't f***ing believe

that you're trying to

negotiate this with me.

I gotta get

out of here.

( Door shuts )

( Horn honks ) Watch where you're

riding, you stupid son of a b*tch!

"Upload complete"?

What the f...

Oh, my god.

Oh, no! No!

Did I get drunk

and upload this?

Sh*t!

F***!

Smoking joints?

Oh, uh, yeah,

Mrs. Doubtfeather.

That's okay,

Mrs. Doubtfeather.

( Continues, indistinct )

Euphe...

"Euphenegia."

Euphegenia.

Euthanasia.

Euthanasia!

( Exhales )

So, Natan, tell us

about your web sitcom.

Oh, yeah. Um...

I've been working on it

for about the past year.

It's called "Euphegenia,"

and it's about this character

who looks and acts just like a

younger version of Mrs. Doubtfire,

and she's just moved from Scotland

to live with a couple college kids.

Sounds hilarious. God, i

love Harvey Fierstein.

Yeah, it's been a lot of fun. Sana

came to watch us film the other day.

Oh, how nice.

So, Natan,

you wanted to

ask us something.

Yeah. Um...

First of all,

thank you so much

for having me over

this evening.

RANIA, this duck

is delicious.

Thank you, Natan.

We're happy to have you.

We don't get to meet

a lot of friends

of sana's from school,

so it's nice to

finally meet one.

Happy to be here.

Um...

The reason I'm here

is because

I was hoping to ask

your permission

to ask... sana

to... marry me.

Natan, that's...

That's very

cordial of you.

I don't think I was ever that

considerate when I was younger.

RANIA:
I don't think

you were either.

But the thing is,

you know,

we're not a very

traditional family,

as you can see.

Sana has chosen

to follow her faith

with a little more

dedication than us.

And although we, uh,

don't feel the need

to follow her,

we're respectful

of her dedication
