00:02 - Crazy.
00:05 My dad's about to get a heart.
00:06 Imagine carrying someone's heart in your body
00:08 but not really knowing anything about them.
00:11 Hi, Mom.
00:16 - Leila, I didn't want to call you, actually,
00:19 but we had to leave.
00:20 We are in the car.
00:21 Mama June is waiting for you at home.
00:23 For some reason, she won't stay with anyone but you.
00:26 - Yo, how's Dad?
00:27 (speaking in foreign language)
00:30 - Hello?
00:31 Oh my God.
00:35 (speaking in foreign language)
00:40 Did you mother drop?
00:54 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:56 Okay, this is where I have to stop the story.
00:58 So, Shia Muslims are really into this magic realist stuff.
01:08 In our family, there's always someone
01:10 who comes to save the day.
01:12 His name is Imam Zaman.
01:14 He's this amazing saint.
01:16 I mean, he disappeared a few hundred years ago.
01:18 Like, literally disappeared in a thin air one day.
01:21 He's a busy guy.
01:22 A true believer, says his name,
01:24 and he appears in times of need.
01:26 And he can appear in human or animal form.
01:30 Oh, you're skeptical, huh?
01:31 Well, I sort of am too.
01:33 This close to getting what she wants?
01:35 Of course she pulled the favor from the big guy.
01:38 My mom really believes in this stuff.
01:40 I'm not sure I do.
01:42 If she's old world, I'm new world.
01:44 This is my mom and I's relationship in a nutshell.
01:47 Imam Zaman is cute tonight, am I right?
01:51 Well, obviously, you can't see his face.
01:55 Well, because you just can't.
01:57 Just trust me on this.
