0:00:38.704,0:00:44.903
Amazing, amazing, this Mahmoud Yasin guy is amazing
0:00:44.903,0:00:49.002
I'm sorry I woke you.Frankly, I thought you'd died!
0:00:49.002,0:00:51.102
Truthfully, I didn't wake up because of your voice.
0:00:51.102,0:00:53.837
I woke up because no one could ever laugh at Mahmoud Yasin.
0:00:53.837,0:00:56.404
That's Ismail Yasiin.
0:00:56.404,0:00:59.237
Oh, okay, well in that case, I'll laugh more!
0:00:59.237,0:01:02.336
I got a little confused with the names.
0:01:02.336,0:01:04.669
What, has it been a long time since you visited Egypt?
0:01:04.669,0:01:08.142
Around... 20 years.
0:01:08.142,0:01:11.405
No... 20 years?! Oh man...you're going to find you don't know anything anymore.
0:01:11.405,0:01:13.536
Eh, what are you talking about?
0:01:13.536,0:01:15.671
My dad talked about Egypt a lot.
0:01:15.671,0:01:18.269
But, you know, he's dead now.
0:01:18.269,0:01:19.559
Oh, may he rest in peace.
0:01:19.559,0:01:22.670
Yes, God rest his soul.
0:01:22.670,0:01:43.670
Ok, night.
0:01:43.670,0:01:45.268
Where are we now?
0:01:45.268,0:01:49.604
What's wrong with you, you weren't sleeping before.
0:01:49.604,0:01:52.738
Oh yeah...I had a long day of work before this.
0:01:52.738,0:01:54.369
What exactly do you do again?
0:01:54.369,0:01:56.170
I'm a photographer.
0:01:56.170,0:02:00.908
What's this? You took this picture?
0:02:00.908,0:02:03.975
And you're coming to Egypt for work, or a visit, or to stay?
0:02:03.975,0:02:07.311
All three. I'm coming for all three.
0:02:07.311,0:02:09.938
I have a photography exhibition in New York
0:02:09.938,0:02:13.769
so I said I'd make the exhibition about Egypt, you know
0:02:13.769,0:02:16.908
And also, God willing, I settle down after that.
0:02:16.908,0:02:19.976
God willing.
0:02:19.976,0:02:26.203
I'm so happy I'll get to spend some of the Ramadan mornings there
0:02:26.203,0:02:29.071
and breaking the fast, and suhur, you know.
0:02:29.071,0:02:33.436
And you know, I also really want to see the show Phawazeer.
0:02:33.436,0:02:35.737
Oh, no, that show's not on anymore.
0:02:35.737,0:02:36.811
What do you mean?
0:02:36.811,0:02:38.671
It's done, been gone for a long time now.
0:02:38.671,0:02:40.404
They cancelled it, really?
0:02:40.404,0:02:43.604
And that actress Nilly, what she's doing now then?
0:02:43.604,0:02:48.672
She's doing action movies in the summer now.
0:02:48.672,0:02:49.768
Night.
0:02:49.768,0:03:02.737
You're going to sleep again?
0:03:02.737,0:03:13.810
"Huge Fire in Giza"
0:03:13.810,0:03:16.236
What's up?
0:03:16.236,0:03:18.636
I don't know, it's like the fire is touching my hands.
0:03:18.636,0:03:23.507
Well, would you put it out please? I want to sleep.
0:03:23.507,0:03:25.405
And why'd you cover me with newspapers?
0:03:25.405,0:03:28.476
It's like a crime scene.
0:03:28.476,0:03:46.247
Sorry, sorry.
0:03:46.247,0:03:47.337
Sorry, if you don't mind -
0:03:47.337,0:03:52.977
I want the foreigners' form. I have an American passport.
0:03:52.977,0:03:56.603
Excuse me, I also have an American passport.
0:03:56.603,0:03:59.985
but I didn't bring it with me, and I have an Egyptian passport with me.
0:03:59.985,0:04:00.771
Is that a problem?
0:04:00.771,0:04:03.170
No, no, that's no problem. But you really should have brought it.
0:04:03.170,0:04:04.309
Oh, but it's okay then?
0:04:04.309,0:04:06.005
Yeah, it's okay, but why didn't you bring it?
0:04:06.005,0:04:09.004
Why would I bring it - so I can be treated as a foriegner in my own country?
0:04:09.004,0:04:13.505
Ahh, right.
0:04:13.505,0:04:18.141
What's this? It's only in Arabic; no English.
0:04:18.141,0:04:20.671
Yeah, of course.
0:04:20.671,0:04:22.603
But yours is in English.
0:04:22.603,0:04:31.905
Right, because I have an American passport with me.
0:04:31.905,0:04:33.149
You speak Egyptian well.
0:04:33.149,0:04:43.270
Because of movies and TV shows. I watch them all the time.
0:04:43.270,0:05:45.309
Oh, great.
0:05:45.309,0:05:48.838
I'm fine, I'm fine.
0:05:48.838,0:05:52.893
Just the difference in pressure...
0:05:52.893,0:05:54.370
And when will you return to the US?
0:05:54.370,0:05:57.404
I'm just spending Ramadan, and then I'll head back.
0:05:57.404,0:06:04.270
Go ahead.
0:06:04.270,0:06:05.479
You two together?
0:06:05.479,0:06:08.304
Everyone's for themself.
0:06:08.304,0:06:26.703
Wait behind the line, please.
0:06:26.703,0:06:30.237
When did you leave Egypt?
0:06:30.237,0:06:32.059
I think it was at night.
0:06:32.059,0:06:34.706
Was it before or after the Tv shows?
0:06:34.706,0:06:39.071
I can't remember...it was years ago.
0:06:39.071,0:06:42.605
Masri Sayed al-Arabi....
0:06:42.605,0:06:45.141
Please check this passport.
0:06:45.141,0:06:47.810
And you stand to the side here.
0:06:47.810,0:06:50.147
This pillow - you took it from the airplane, or what?
0:06:50.147,0:07:06.371
No, it's not a pillow, it's my laptop.
0:07:06.371,0:07:08.737
You, what's your name...
0:07:08.737,0:07:13.339
Masri, Masri, Sayed al-Arabi.
0:07:13.339,0:07:16.810
Welcome to Egypt.
0:07:16.810,0:07:20.170
Limousine, sir, limousine.
0:07:20.170,0:07:24.413
Limousine, sir, limousine.
0:07:24.413,0:07:28.475
Limousine!
0:07:28.475,0:07:30.405
limousine?
0:07:30.405,0:07:31.891
Ah, excuse me?
0:07:31.891,0:07:35.982
Limousine, sir. It's a very best.
0:07:35.982,0:07:37.093
-Thank you. I want to go Hotel -
0:07:37.093,0:07:37.309
"anta ayiza..." You're Egyptian, I don't give rides to Egyptians. Only foreigners.
0:07:37.309,0:07:43.769
Why, what's wrong with the Egyptians?
0:07:43.769,0:07:49.338
Oh, they're a big pain.
0:07:49.338,0:07:52.369
What are you saying? I don't understand at all. Aren't you Egyptian?
0:07:52.369,0:07:55.670
Oh ok, clearly you don't understand anything. Great, then I can drive you!
0:07:55.670,0:08:00.669
A thousand welcomes!
0:08:00.669,0:08:03.060
Your car, is it a sedan or a van?
0:08:03.060,0:08:05.004
What was the second one?
0:08:05.004,0:08:11.392
A van. The car that has a door like this, you open it and it comes back to you.
0:08:11.392,0:08:16.038
And it comes back with empty hands? What a loss.
0:08:16.038,0:08:20.104
It's like a drawer.
0:08:20.104,0:08:21.670
A drawer? Oh, you mean a sliding door!
0:08:21.670,0:08:23.812
Yeah, yeah! That's the word.
0:08:23.812,0:08:28.436
Yes, that's my car exactly.
0:08:28.436,0:08:31.144
What's this? This isn't a van.
0:08:31.144,0:08:33.560
I asked you if your car was a van and you told me yes. This is not a van.
0:08:33.560,0:08:39.226
But you said a van comes with a sliding door, and this is it.
0:08:39.226,0:08:41.604
Is this or isn't this a sliding door?
0:08:41.604,0:08:49.835
Yeah, it slides...I should have been more exact with my wording.
0:08:49.835,0:08:51.225
And where do I sit?
0:08:51.225,0:08:54.268
In front.
0:08:54.268,0:09:01.668
Where do I throw this?
0:09:01.668,0:09:04.143
I'll have beans for breakfast. Will you "hit" with me?
0:09:04.143,0:09:10.480
"Hit?" You mean eat? So "hit" means "eat" nowadays?
0:09:10.480,0:09:16.838
You know, I missed these beans so much.
0:09:16.838,0:09:18.570
This is beans with sauce, right?
0:09:18.570,0:09:23.336
Oh, right, I forgot. How much was the sandwich?
0:09:23.336,0:09:25.404
60 gineih.
0:09:25.404,0:09:26.870
60 gineih, okay.
0:09:26.870,0:09:29.059
Oh, but, I'm sorry, I don't have any Egyptian money on me yet.
0:09:29.059,0:09:33.337
Don't worry about it. I'll change it for you - better that than somebody trick you.
0:09:33.337,0:09:38.808
Fool me? You don't know me; I could fool the whole country.
0:09:38.808,0:09:40.337
But tell me, how much is the exchange rate?
0:09:40.337,0:09:42.269
Two hundred gineih.
0:09:42.269,0:09:53.704
OK, then let's get some water, and some rice pudding, something sweet.
0:09:53.704,0:09:55.836
How much was this water?
0:09:55.836,0:09:59.726
Thirty gineih.
0:09:59.726,0:10:06.144
Okay, I have one thousand gineih left, thanks.
0:10:06.144,0:10:10.405
Where do we throw these things?
0:10:10.405,0:10:14.905
You're just going to throw it like that in the street?!
0:10:14.905,0:10:20.670
Don't worry, they clean and sweep them.
0:10:20.670,0:10:24.905
We have to find something to put these in.
0:10:24.905,0:10:40.142
You're laughing?
0:10:40.142,0:10:44.370
Delicious. So, so good!
0:10:44.370,0:10:47.269
I don't even know what to say!
0:10:47.269,0:10:54.237
I've only got this left, would you change it for me?
0:10:54.237,0:10:57.404
Can I make a call from your phone?
0:10:57.404,0:11:10.070
What's this? You're carrying the biggest phone in your pocket.
0:11:10.070,0:11:13.239
Hey, slow down, we might get in an accident.
0:11:13.239,0:11:14.603
It was his fault.
0:11:14.603,0:11:18.204
Ok, ok, but the street is crowded. I'll call for you, ok?
0:11:18.204,0:11:20.104
Zero.
0:11:20.104,0:11:22.103
One-eyn.
0:11:22.103,0:11:24.270
"One-eyn?"
0:11:24.270,0:11:25.036
Yeah.
0:11:25.036,0:11:27.105
Oh..."one one" you mean.
0:11:27.105,0:11:35.560
Okay - wait wait wait!
0:11:35.560,0:11:36.226
Did you get ?
0:11:36.226,0:11:38.838
Yeah, I got it.
0:11:38.838,0:11:41.892
I have many things to show you later.
0:11:41.892,0:11:51.270
Now bye, I don't want to keep you. No, I won't be late.
0:11:51.270,0:11:54.480
Oh shit...how long was that?
0:11:54.480,0:11:57.868
Don't worry. To be honest, I always forget my phone at home
0:11:57.868,0:12:00.405
and my wife is sick, so I had to call.
0:12:00.405,0:12:01.838
And what does that have to do with me?
0:12:01.838,0:12:07.869
I'll drop you here; I'm not allowed to go in. I'm a driver.
0:12:07.869,0:12:14.436
No, no, leave it on me.
0:12:14.436,0:12:20.148
What is this craziness? Hey!
0:12:20.148,0:12:21.836
The bill!
0:12:21.836,0:12:24.105
The bill? Didn't you just tell me to forget about it?
0:12:24.105,0:12:29.604
You believed that? That was just politeness!
0:12:29.604,0:12:33.769
Ok, ok, no need to repeat yourself.
0:12:33.769,0:12:35.938
What's this? I want one hundred dollars.
0:12:35.938,0:12:40.070
You mean two hundred gineih? No, you think I'm stupid?
0:12:40.070,0:12:41.736
Are you going to take this, or should I just go?
0:12:41.736,0:12:47.004
You think you can cheat me? Where are you going to go?
0:12:47.004,0:12:54.504
Someday you'll need me, and then what will you do?!
0:12:54.504,0:12:58.808
The nationalities are different. I need the passport you used to make the reservation.
0:12:58.808,0:13:02.571
I didn't bring it. I brought my Egyptian one.
0:13:02.571,0:13:05.479
I don't understand what the problem is, but ok
0:13:05.479,0:13:07.310
We can cancel the reservation I made with the American one
0:13:07.310,0:13:09.165
and reserve a new one with my Egyptian passport.
0:13:09.165,0:13:12.338
I can't cancel a reservation for another person's room. The person whomade the reservation must cancel.
0:13:12.338,0:13:16.069
It's the same person. I'm him, same person.
0:13:16.069,0:13:19.339
Sorry, sir, but as far as I'm concerned, it's two people - American and Egyptian.
0:13:19.339,0:13:23.838
Oh my god.
0:13:23.838,0:13:28.141
OK, ok, can you reserve something for me with this?
0:13:28.141,0:13:29.936
Any room I could sleep in? I'm tired.
0:13:29.936,0:13:33.477
I'm very sorry, Mr. Masri, but we don't have any empty rooms.
0:13:33.477,0:13:34.738
What should I do?
0:13:34.738,0:13:41.936
You could try another hotel.
0:13:41.936,0:13:43.003
Sir, are you Saudi?
0:13:43.003,0:13:44.203
No, no.
0:13:44.203,0:13:44.905
Kuwaiti?
0:13:44.905,0:13:45.536
No.
0:13:45.536,0:13:46.604
Then what are you, sir?
0:13:46.604,0:13:48.270
I'm Egyptian.
0:13:48.270,0:13:52.809
Egyptian? Oh, excellent, you should have told me from the beginning.
0:13:52.809,0:13:54.370
Ok, thank you
0:13:54.370,0:13:58.282
Room, room, room...
0:13:58.282,0:14:01.337
I'm sorry sir, I don't have any empty rooms.
0:14:01.337,0:14:05.770
No, no, please, I can't - I mean, I'll do anything.
0:14:05.770,0:14:07.812
I can even make myself foreign, Japanese, look
0:14:07.812,0:14:11.102
I was just giving my eyes a rest.
0:14:11.102,0:14:14.103
I only have a suite, but it's a little expensive.
0:14:14.103,0:14:15.769
Two thousand dollars a night.
0:14:15.769,0:14:17.836
What? My god, it's theft...
0:14:17.836,0:14:18.437
Beg pardon??
0:14:18.437,0:14:22.036
No no, sorry, not you. I was thinking of someone else.
0:14:22.036,0:14:47.372
Ok, book me that. Book it.
0:14:47.372,0:14:54.569
Shit.
0:14:54.569,0:15:01.037
And what about breakfast?
0:15:01.037,0:15:03.709
Wow.
0:15:03.709,0:15:05.436
Egypt.
0:15:05.436,0:15:10.937
Here I come.
0:15:10.937,0:15:19.270
Hi, welcome sir.
0:15:19.270,0:15:21.302
I want to rent a car, please.
0:15:21.302,0:15:22.337
Are you a guest here?
0:15:22.337,0:15:29.836
Yeah, suite .
0:15:29.836,0:15:32.269
Sorry, are you Egyptian?
0:15:32.269,0:15:34.539
Yeah, yeah, I'm Egyptian. Yes.
0:15:34.539,0:15:41.504
Ah...then you'll have to sign on this paper.
0:15:41.504,0:15:43.604
I was thinking you were a foreigner.
0:15:43.604,0:15:46.075
Your hair style, you know.
0:15:46.075,0:15:47.481
I was living abroad.
0:15:47.481,0:15:48.313
Welcome back.
0:15:48.313,0:15:51.770
I'd like a four by four.
0:15:51.770,0:15:56.905
Four by four...ok. This is the Chevrolet Captiva , full options.
0:15:56.905,0:16:00.203
Ok, I'd also like it to have GPS.
0:16:00.203,0:16:03.270
GPS - oh! You mean the navigator?
0:16:03.270,0:16:04.159
Sorry?
0:16:04.159,0:16:08.104
Navigator. To know the addresses.
0:16:08.104,0:16:14.975
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:16:14.975,0:16:20.670
al-haram, haram. (haram=pyramids)
0:16:20.670,0:16:32.005
OK.
0:16:32.005,0:16:45.604
"The Pyramids."
0:16:45.604,0:16:51.104
These are the pyramids?
0:16:51.104,0:16:55.770
Stop. Stop already. Stop lying.
0:16:55.770,0:16:59.035
So what should I type here in order to get where I'm going?
0:16:59.035,0:17:01.338
What? There's nothing wrong with your stereo.
0:17:01.338,0:17:04.483
The stereo? No - I mean - I guess it's kind of low.
0:17:04.483,0:17:06.822
Oh, it works! Thank you, thank you.
0:17:06.822,0:17:07.671
Everything ok now?
0:17:07.671,0:17:08.974
Do you need anything else?
0:17:08.974,0:17:14.770
Thank you.
0:17:14.770,0:17:23.308
The stereo...?
0:17:23.308,0:17:28.891
Excuse me, I was just wondering how I get to the pyramids.
0:17:28.891,0:17:31.505
Why are you here? You should go "astareit" down this street, right ahead.
0:17:31.505,0:17:33.237
What? Astareit?
0:17:33.237,0:17:34.738
Astareit!
0:17:34.738,0:17:35.640
Oh, you mean straight.
0:17:35.640,0:17:37.438
After that, make elooturn and come back this way.
0:17:37.438,0:17:38.226
Make a what?
0:17:38.226,0:17:39.403
Looturn!
0:17:39.403,0:17:40.838
U-turn, u-turn...
0:17:40.838,0:17:42.269
It's like you don't understand English or something.
0:17:42.269,0:18:04.904
What the heck?!
0:18:04.904,0:18:08.061
one sweet word, or two words
0:18:08.061,0:18:11.569
oh my country, you're beautiful
0:18:11.569,0:18:14.937
one beautiful song or two
0:18:14.937,0:18:46.772
oh my beautiful country
0:18:46.772,0:18:52.103
Yes, yes!
0:18:52.103,0:19:05.488
God.
0:19:05.488,0:19:08.669
Excuse me. I'd like to ride a horse.
0:19:08.669,0:19:13.737
That's all? Certainly, sir- and here's my card.
0:19:13.737,0:19:14.988
Thank you.
0:19:14.988,0:19:16.319
Not at all.
0:19:16.319,0:19:20.870
Boy! Bring the first horse.
0:19:20.870,0:19:22.225
You're from Lebanon, right?
0:19:22.225,0:19:23.808
No, no, I'm Egyptian.
0:19:23.808,0:19:26.937
Egyptian? From Egypt? The mother of all countries!
0:19:26.937,0:19:28.435
Welcome, welcome.
0:19:28.435,0:19:33.436
Boy! Bring the SECOND horse. The second.
0:19:33.436,0:19:34.236
Thanks.
0:19:34.236,0:19:45.144
Not at all, not at all.
0:19:45.144,0:19:47.102
Hey, hey, why did you stop?
0:19:47.102,0:19:53.505
Come on. Oh, sorry - come one, let's go.
0:19:53.505,0:19:56.203
Go.
0:19:56.203,0:19:57.323
Hey, move!
0:19:57.323,0:20:08.143
Hey, are you Egyptian or not, come on. Walk!
0:20:08.143,0:20:13.609
What, should I carry you?
0:20:13.609,0:20:15.006
Hello?
0:20:15.006,0:20:19.837
This horse I've got, how do I get him to go?
0:20:19.837,0:20:23.311
He's looking at the ground like he lost something.
0:20:23.311,0:20:25.171
Why'd you give me such an old model?
0:20:25.171,0:20:27.241
My god! Didn't I give you a good one?
0:20:27.241,0:20:30.976
A good one? He needs a wheelchair!
0:20:30.976,0:20:33.404
Oh, oh, what the hell -
0:20:33.404,0:20:35.769
Also, I think its radiator's busted.
0:20:35.769,0:20:39.436
Bad? Ok, just tell him "Zeko, time to go back to the stable."
0:20:39.436,0:20:41.205
He'll run right away.
0:20:41.205,0:20:43.641
No you tell him. He's right here.
0:20:43.641,0:20:45.674
Say hi.
0:20:45.674,0:20:47.837
No problem, his dad just wants to tell him something.
0:20:47.837,0:20:49.703
"Come on, Zeko, back to the stable quick."
0:20:49.703,0:20:52.725
Hey! Hey, hey, wait!
0:20:52.725,0:20:53.743
Stop, stop!
0:20:53.743,0:21:58.035
Hey come back!
0:21:58.035,0:21:59.226
Peace be upon you.
0:21:59.226,0:22:01.436
And upon you.
0:22:01.436,0:22:06.071
Where are my shoes?
0:22:06.071,0:22:13.414
Oh no. Mine weren't like this.
0:22:13.414,0:22:15.317
You're not going to find them, son.
0:22:15.317,0:22:16.810
You took your shoes inside?
0:22:16.810,0:22:18.369
God will compensate you for them.
0:22:18.369,0:22:19.319
You mean they're lost?
0:22:19.319,0:22:21.904
No, not lost. Stolen.
0:22:21.904,0:22:25.369
What? Stolen? How am I supposed to walk now?
0:22:25.369,0:22:27.305
Go ahead and take these wooden sandals.
0:22:27.305,0:22:28.318
Wooden sandals?
0:22:28.318,0:22:29.904
Of course, don't you know them?
0:22:29.904,0:22:32.770
Weren't you ever hit with them when you were a child?
0:22:32.770,0:22:37.504
No. Ok, thank you - how much do I owe you?
0:22:37.504,0:22:39.233
No, no, no, that's free.
0:22:39.233,0:22:40.603
Free?
0:22:40.603,0:22:41.339
Yes.
0:22:41.339,0:22:43.537
Ok, thank you.
0:22:43.537,0:22:46.035
Oh, shit...I'm sorry.
0:22:46.035,0:22:50.337
What an awful sound.
0:22:50.337,0:23:18.004
Ok thanks. Thank you.
0:23:18.004,0:23:20.937
Looks like we've got some problems this morning.
0:23:20.937,0:23:22.836
Hey, move.
0:23:22.836,0:23:24.337
What is your nationality?
0:23:24.337,0:23:25.658
I'm Egyptian.
0:23:25.658,0:23:27.671
Egyptian? This guy's looking for trouble.
0:23:27.671,0:23:29.603
Hey, hey, what's going on?
0:23:29.603,0:23:30.672
Do you have a photography license?
0:23:30.672,0:23:32.666
No. No one told me.
0:23:32.666,0:23:33.811
No one told you?
0:23:33.811,0:23:37.477
No? And no one told you you're carrying a cannon with zoom?
0:23:37.477,0:23:40.060
Oh, shut up, crazy! What are you wearing?
0:23:40.060,0:23:41.738
Shorts, and those wood sandals on your feet...
0:23:41.738,0:23:47.703
Get him in the car.
0:23:47.703,0:23:54.904
Shut up you monkey, let's go!
0:23:54.904,0:23:55.935
Answer me!
0:23:55.935,0:23:58.204
Oh shit, what the hell are you doing, man?
0:23:58.204,0:24:05.905
Look at me. I need proof of your ID.
0:24:05.905,0:24:08.571
Or an co-signer with an ID to guarantee your are who you say.
0:24:08.571,0:24:09.770
Otherwise, you'll be thrown put in a cage.
0:24:09.770,0:24:10.905
What do you mean, a cage?
0:24:10.905,0:24:11.970
Stop playing dumb!
0:24:11.970,0:24:13.303
I swear, I don't understand!
0:24:13.303,0:24:21.837
Jail him. I want to have breakfast.
0:24:21.837,0:24:26.141
Hello? Hi? Can I speak to Radi?
0:24:26.141,0:24:30.809
Yeah, yeah, I'm a client.
0:24:30.809,0:24:37.406
I'm Masri, Masri - you gave me a ride from the airport.
0:24:37.406,0:24:39.475
Just listen to me please
0:24:39.475,0:24:41.707
I'm - right now I'm -
0:24:41.707,0:24:42.769
what's this place called?
0:24:42.769,0:24:44.603
Tell them you're imprisoned in the police station.
0:24:44.603,0:24:46.169
Imprisoned! This is just temporary!
0:24:46.169,0:24:49.104
Just tell them you're at the police station of "Qasr al-Nile"
0:24:49.104,0:24:50.770
And you need a co-signer.
0:24:50.770,0:24:55.839
Rad, I'm at the Qasr al-Nile police station and I need someone to co-signfor me.
0:24:55.839,0:24:58.405
To verify my identity. So I can go.
0:24:58.405,0:25:00.502
Please?
0:25:00.502,0:25:04.570
Ok, thank you, thank you.
0:25:04.570,0:25:11.404
Happy now? He responded? Eat your breakfast.
0:25:11.404,0:25:12.738
Have some.
0:25:12.738,0:25:14.740
No, no, I have enough, thanks.
0:25:14.740,0:25:20.565
You know what, I like this position.
0:25:20.565,0:25:27.739
It's very healthy.
0:25:27.739,0:25:30.370
Everything's fine sir! Get up, get up.
0:25:30.370,0:25:33.146
He called someone to come for him?
0:25:33.146,0:25:35.273
Someone's coming?
0:25:35.273,0:25:36.492
Yes, there's a guy coming, sir.
0:25:36.492,0:25:38.476
As soon as he's done with breakfast, take him to the entertainment room.
0:25:38.476,0:25:42.337
No, no thanks, I don't want entertainment. I just want to leave.
0:25:42.337,0:25:46.945
No, no, before you leave you have to have some entertainment. Take him.
0:25:46.945,0:25:48.019
Let me entertain you.
0:25:48.019,0:26:12.834
I don't want it!
0:26:12.834,0:26:15.644
Frankly, I don't recognize him.
0:26:15.644,0:26:18.405
I told you you would need me one day.
0:26:18.405,0:26:23.337
You finished? Do you know him or not?
0:26:23.337,0:26:25.836
Take this and please help me.
0:26:25.836,0:26:28.104
With this much, I only recognize your lower half.
0:26:28.104,0:26:31.324
They need your upper half too.
0:26:31.324,0:26:33.072
Ok, consider this for the upper half.
0:26:33.072,0:26:35.508
Just a little more, so I can recognize you well.
0:26:35.508,0:26:40.237
Ok, this is all - you'd better be able to recognize me even from behind.
0:26:40.237,0:26:46.474
Oh! Mr. Masri! You've changed since last night!
0:26:46.474,0:26:49.169
OK, enough. Take your stuff and your ID.
0:26:49.169,0:26:50.667
You should be grateful to get your stuff back.
0:26:50.667,0:26:54.170
We just erased the photos.
0:26:54.170,0:26:58.500
How could you erase my pictures?
0:26:58.500,0:27:04.736
I'm an Egyptian citizen and I have Egyptian rights!
0:27:04.736,0:27:07.938
And I'm an Egyptian officer. Laws give me permission to do this.
0:27:07.938,0:27:13.104
If you were a criminal, I would have done much worse!
0:27:13.104,0:27:17.309
Ok, but I'm not a criminal, and I still got screwed.
0:27:17.309,0:27:21.004
Now what are you going to do to me. Mess me up more?
0:27:21.004,0:27:23.703
Fine, go ahead.
0:27:23.703,0:27:24.436
Go ahead.
0:27:24.436,0:27:25.804
Fine. Imaad!
0:27:25.804,0:27:29.602
No, nonono ok - I'll see myself out.
0:27:29.602,0:27:36.669
Come on Radi.
0:27:36.669,0:27:38.152
I'm going to send for my American passport immediately
0:27:38.152,0:27:40.107
and get revenge on all of you!
0:27:40.107,0:27:41.656
You first!
0:27:41.656,0:27:43.815
Me? I just saved you!
0:27:43.815,0:27:45.008
Sure, but after what?
0:27:45.008,0:27:51.868
After driving me crazy! You used me!
0:27:51.868,0:27:56.571
Your name would be better off Wati, rather than Radi. (wati = low, pathetic)
0:27:56.571,0:27:57.268
Wati?
0:27:57.268,0:27:58.403
Yes, Wati!
0:27:58.403,0:28:02.738
Hey, hey Radi!
0:28:02.738,0:28:06.974
I only answer to "Sir Radi."
0:28:06.974,0:28:14.936
What? Sir? Get out of here, no way.
0:28:14.936,0:28:16.738
Isn't it a little early to go back to the hotel, Sir Radi?
0:28:16.738,0:28:20.393
Take a breath, okay?
0:28:20.393,0:28:20.506
Okay, Radi.
0:28:20.506,0:28:22.645
Radi?!
0:28:22.645,0:30:05.002
Sir Radi.
0:30:05.002,0:30:47.059
Message for you, sir.
0:30:47.059,0:30:56.227
Hi Radi. Tell you what - I had to return the car.
0:30:56.227,0:31:03.078
Could you come to me? I've got some things to do.
0:31:03.078,0:31:08.536
I'll give you whatever you want.
0:31:08.536,0:31:15.336
OK. Bye. Bye.
0:31:15.336,0:31:17.238
Good morning, sir.
0:31:17.238,0:31:18.649
I want to leave, please.
0:31:18.649,0:31:20.410
Oh - is there a problem?
0:31:20.410,0:31:23.769
No, I'm just free, free. I'm Japanese now and I want to leave.
0:31:23.769,0:31:28.503
As you wish, sir, but you're not Japanese. You're Egyptian.
0:31:28.503,0:31:30.805
Sir, you're American.
0:31:30.805,0:31:32.336
No, I'm Japanese.
0:31:32.336,0:31:33.935
American, sir.
0:31:33.935,0:31:35.894
Japanese or not?
0:31:35.894,0:31:37.337
...Japanese, sir.
0:31:37.337,0:31:48.886
Please check me out of my room.
0:31:48.886,0:31:50.670
Hey - look at my passport.
0:31:50.670,0:31:57.737
I'm American. And that guy over there is a thief.
0:31:57.737,0:32:00.669
Whoa, hey, take your hands off me!
0:32:00.669,0:32:03.412
Help me, Masri! I know him!
0:32:03.412,0:32:08.571
You know me? No, I don't know him at all.
0:32:08.571,0:32:11.212
I told you, Egypt is a small room.
0:32:11.212,0:32:13.670
Now who's going to remember your upper half?
0:32:13.670,0:32:16.238
Ok Masri, we'll see.
0:32:16.238,0:32:20.624
Masri! No, no, from here on you call me Sir Masri.
0:32:20.624,0:32:26.877
Sir Masri?! Go on, get out of here.
0:32:26.877,0:32:29.804
Oh, beloved Sir Masri.
0:32:29.804,0:32:33.503
Radi, listen, I will give you a hundred gineih per day, ok?
0:32:33.503,0:32:35.304
Make it two hundred dollars.
0:32:35.304,0:32:39.738
OK, right - because one dollar = two gineih, so one hundred dollars equals two hundred gineih.
0:32:39.738,0:32:42.170
What? A dollar's worth five and a half gineih.
0:32:42.170,0:32:47.548
What? So high? Wasn't the rate two gineih before?
0:32:47.548,0:32:50.563
Ok. I'll give you what you want.
0:32:50.563,0:32:52.836
But please - don't make a fool of me again.
0:32:52.836,0:32:57.169
For one reason only - you don't want to mess with me.
0:32:57.169,0:32:58.570
Ok, Mr. Masri.
0:32:58.570,0:33:01.067
OK, you go and bring your van, and I"ll get my bag.
0:33:01.067,0:33:03.707
No, I can't - you know I can't enter here.
0:33:03.707,0:33:05.800
Ok, you go and I'll bring my bag.
0:33:05.800,0:33:06.570
OK Masri.
0:33:06.570,0:33:07.458
What?
0:33:07.458,0:33:22.637
Mr. Masri...Mr. Masri.
0:33:22.637,0:33:30.036
He understood me.
0:33:30.036,0:33:31.637
Why did you leave the hotel?
0:33:31.637,0:33:33.962
Because it was very expensive.
0:33:33.962,0:33:35.457
Who are these people in the back?
0:33:35.457,0:33:38.135
Oh, it's a scam.
0:33:38.135,0:33:40.504
I don't understand why you like to trick foreigners.
0:33:40.504,0:33:46.969
Believe me, they're just like Egyptian people.
0:33:46.969,0:33:52.963
Who's this? Who's singing?
0:33:52.963,0:33:54.374
Nancy Ajram.
0:33:54.374,0:33:55.470
Is she Egyptian?
0:33:55.470,0:33:57.204
No, from Kuwait.
0:33:57.204,0:34:00.437
Wow.
0:34:00.437,0:34:04.170
What was that?
0:34:04.170,0:34:08.459
Sir, he's the one who hit me, I was just standing.
0:34:08.459,0:34:14.905
I saw it all. I want your papers.
0:34:14.905,0:34:17.104
Wait here.
0:34:17.104,0:34:20.337
Is the car ok?
0:34:20.337,0:34:31.182
OK. He'll check with the driver and bring you your compensation.
0:34:31.182,0:34:34.169
Sir, if you let him go, I'll never get compensated. My rights!
0:34:34.169,0:34:35.537
OH, whose rights?
0:34:35.537,0:34:38.629
"Whose rights?!" Don't worry Radi, I'll make sure you get your rights.
0:34:38.629,0:34:41.803
And how are you going to do that? Who are you?
0:34:41.803,0:34:43.169
I'm Egyptian.
0:34:43.169,0:34:46.212
So what? Are you an Egyptian officer, an agent, what?
0:34:46.212,0:34:49.570
Do i have to be anything other than Egyptian to get my rights?
0:34:49.570,0:34:51.636
Sir, isn't it the police's duty to serve the people?
0:34:51.636,0:34:53.218
That's old-fashioned talk, buddy.
0:34:53.218,0:34:55.336
Today the police serve the state.
0:34:55.336,0:34:57.963
Ok, and who was that in the other car? Was that the state?
0:34:57.963,0:34:59.503
I don't want any resistance. Show me your ID.
0:34:59.503,0:35:04.307
Ok. That was the state driving the car and he let him go.
0:35:04.307,0:35:05.724
I've got this.
0:35:05.724,0:35:07.770
You should show the other ID, Masri.
0:35:07.770,0:35:09.232
Shh.
0:35:09.232,0:35:10.836
Could you come with me to a higher-ranking officer?
0:35:10.836,0:35:11.973
Sure, why not?
0:35:11.973,0:35:12.736
What?
0:35:12.736,0:35:14.915
Don't worry. I'll bring your rights back with me, come on.
0:35:14.915,0:35:32.403
I want this guy to get his rights.
0:35:32.403,0:35:33.804
Wait, not this guy.
0:35:33.804,0:35:36.905
Radi?
0:35:36.905,0:35:39.564
Sounds like this guy abandoned his rights himself.
0:35:39.564,0:35:42.138
That's because he's Egyptian. But I'm an American citizen.
0:35:42.138,0:35:44.738
And I want him to be compensated, because he didn't do anything wrong!
0:35:44.738,0:35:47.541
So you're threatening me because you're an American citizen
0:35:47.541,0:35:50.005
and your passport protects you and nobody can touch you?
0:35:50.005,0:35:51.541
Yep, exactly.
0:35:51.541,0:35:55.624
I'm threatening you because I am an American citizen
0:35:55.624,0:36:00.105
and my passport protects me and nobody can touch me! OK!
0:36:00.105,0:36:08.050
Ok, could you say that in the microphone? To scare the soldiers.
0:36:08.050,0:36:15.886
I am an American citizen, and my passport protects me and nobody can touch me! OK?!
0:36:15.886,0:36:26.369
See how scared they got?
0:36:26.369,0:36:28.238
You're American?
0:36:28.238,0:36:33.836
Yeah, I said that. I'm American, and this passport protects me, and no one can touch me.
0:36:33.836,0:36:39.485
And furthermore, I can kick anyone I want with my shoes, ok!
0:36:39.485,0:36:43.238
Why so angry?
0:36:43.238,0:36:50.736
Yes! Yes, you guys, you should be protesting!
0:36:50.736,0:37:00.104
You should protest and get your rights back!
0:37:00.104,0:37:03.570
But - um. Don't be too aggressive getting them back.
0:37:03.570,0:37:04.705
So, American, huh?
0:37:04.705,0:37:10.470
No, no no no - my passport is American, but I'm Egyptian.
0:37:10.470,0:37:15.208
You can see I'm Egyptian.[br][br]And also my name is Masri
0:37:15.208,0:37:20.237
And I'm Egyptian, and my father's Egyptian, and he was the same skin shade as me and everything.
0:37:20.237,0:37:21.238
Yeah, yeah, just look at me!
0:37:21.238,0:37:22.603
And - my passport doesn't protect me.
0:37:22.603,0:37:27.775
And any old person can kick me with his shoes. Believe me.
0:37:27.775,0:37:33.770
And also, my favorite song is by Nancy Ajram
0:37:33.770,0:37:35.964
you know the one where she says, "I'm Egyptian and my father's Egyptian-"
0:37:35.964,0:37:37.652
You haven't even memorized Nancy Ajram's songs!
0:37:37.652,0:37:39.208
No, I've memorized them, really!
0:37:39.208,0:37:41.635
NO!
0:37:41.635,0:37:43.103
How could you do that?!
0:37:43.103,0:39:56.459
You'll have to bow down to get it, American.**
0:39:56.459,0:40:02.846
Evening, sir.
0:40:02.846,0:40:05.904
I'd like to check in, please.
0:40:05.904,0:40:09.382
Oh, ok. I just need your passport.
0:40:09.382,0:40:13.237
All your data was erased, so I need it again.
0:40:13.237,0:40:18.954
Can I tell you something?
0:40:18.954,0:40:21.781
My passport...I lost it.
0:40:21.781,0:40:22.970
The Egyptian one or the American one?
0:40:22.970,0:40:27.305
The American was lost. The Egyptian one...flew away.
0:40:27.305,0:40:29.140
That was my fault.
0:40:29.140,0:40:32.404
So, now you aren't American or Egyptian or Japanese?
0:40:32.404,0:40:34.838
Oh, you know, go ahead and consider me Korean.
0:40:34.838,0:40:37.902
No, I'm sorry sir, but there has to be some kind of ID.
0:40:37.902,0:40:40.836
Please - I'm going to be sleeping in the street.
0:40:40.836,0:41:04.941
Sorry. I can't help.
0:41:04.941,0:41:13.004
with a paper and pen, you gave me a thousand pains
0:41:13.004,0:41:19.736
I saw pain in you...and I know who was oppressed
0:41:19.736,0:41:26.068
with a paper and pen, you gave me a thousand pains
0:41:26.068,0:41:35.043
I saw pain in you...and I know who was oppressed
0:41:35.043,0:41:38.472
Why do you know how to help a stranger/foreigner
0:41:38.472,0:41:42.203
You show him the bright side of things
0:41:42.203,0:41:45.983
And ignore your own sons
0:41:45.983,0:41:57.063
You know black honey - that's what you are now
0:41:57.063,0:42:04.905
How can you tell me everything is fine, with everything that's going on here?
0:42:04.905,0:42:08.437
Oh land of contradictions
0:42:08.437,0:42:12.053
Oh, everything and it's opposite
0:42:12.053,0:42:15.790
Forget it, my patience has run out
0:42:15.790,0:42:37.637
I don't want to see if there's any hope left for you.
0:42:37.637,0:42:45.503
"Eat and give thanks?"
0:42:45.503,0:42:55.406
Is there a menu?
0:42:55.406,0:42:58.970
But what's...why've you all ordered the same food?
0:42:58.970,0:43:00.915
God willing.
0:43:00.915,0:43:03.939
The same drinks, same potatoes...
0:43:03.939,0:43:09.570
You know, this restaurant's style is nice.
0:43:09.570,0:43:16.542
One table for everybody...
0:43:16.542,0:43:20.670
Bilhana wa al-shifa! We don't want anyone to be hungry!
0:43:20.670,0:43:25.703
Happy Ramadan to you!
0:43:25.703,0:43:26.904
Excuse me...
0:43:26.904,0:43:29.636
The food was delicious.
0:43:29.636,0:43:30.980
May it give you good health.
0:43:30.980,0:43:33.866
But I'm not sure how much the tab is. I've only got gineih.
0:43:33.866,0:43:43.185
Bill, what bill? Keep your money, and happy Ramadan. This is a generous month.
0:43:43.185,0:43:46.703
Come to think of it, I was hoping for desert. Do you have desert?
0:43:46.703,0:43:52.204
What was Radi's number again? I've got to remember it...
0:43:52.204,0:44:10.804
Zero, one-eyn, five, ok...
0:44:10.804,0:44:14.536
I almost had it; it was right at the front of my brain.
0:44:14.536,0:44:16.403
What was the last number?
0:44:16.403,0:44:17.557
Good evening, sir.
0:44:17.557,0:44:19.279
Yes, what, what? I was just about to remember the last number!
0:44:19.279,0:44:22.213
I thought maybe you could help me - I've got a room, but I'm late on rent.
0:44:22.213,0:44:23.969
You have a room?
0:44:23.969,0:44:26.113
How lucky! Could I spend the night there?
0:44:26.113,0:44:27.389
Are you kidding?
0:44:27.389,0:44:40.458
Do you have a pen in the room? I just want to write down this phone number, once I remember.
0:44:40.458,0:44:47.088
Take this. Take it.
0:44:47.088,0:44:50.170
What, is she a drug dealer?
0:44:50.170,0:44:55.076
Take these.
0:44:55.076,0:44:56.403
Take some.
0:44:56.403,0:44:57.474
Me?
0:44:57.474,0:44:58.806
Yes, you, come here.
0:44:58.806,0:45:00.070
You come over here.
0:45:00.070,0:45:01.903
I said, come over here and take some.
0:45:01.903,0:45:07.136
OK.
0:45:07.136,0:45:08.876
Take this.
0:45:08.876,0:45:09.896
What is this?
0:45:09.896,0:45:11.653
Meat.
0:45:11.653,0:45:13.505
Why are you giving out meat?
0:45:13.505,0:45:19.906
Our freezer's full of meat. This is the time of year to give charity to the poor.
0:45:19.906,0:45:23.150
Oh, thanks, but I'm not poor.
0:45:23.150,0:45:24.800
What are you then?
0:45:24.800,0:45:25.903
I'm Masri.
0:45:25.903,0:45:27.804
Then you're definitely poor. Take the meat!
0:45:27.804,0:45:34.052
No, my name is Masri. But I'm American.
0:45:34.052,0:45:40.969
Then why are you looking like such a mess?
0:45:40.969,0:45:43.839
I was in a protest. Against America.
0:45:43.839,0:45:46.803
You came from America to Egypt to walk in the protests?
0:45:46.803,0:45:51.458
No, no, that's not it. It's not like you think.
0:45:51.458,0:45:56.003
I just had no idea the people would hate America this much.
0:45:56.003,0:45:58.571
Maybe you just don't know how to imagine.
0:45:58.571,0:45:59.869
Right...you're Egyptian, right?
0:45:59.869,0:46:01.132
Yes.
0:46:01.132,0:46:03.732
Okay, can I ask you something then?
0:46:03.732,0:46:07.732
I want to go to a communications office.
