00:00Houston's my hometown.
00:07Selling merch is the only thing I could do without papers.
00:10All I have is my asylum claim and a bunch of Chanel bags.
00:14Holy shit, you got a whole store in there.
00:16I ain't gonna send you back to Palestine.
00:19I've never been to Palestine.
00:20I don't have citizenship there, I don't have citizenship here.
00:23I'm like a refugee free agent.
00:24I gotta do what I gotta do.
00:26I need to support my family.
00:29Why are you looking at me like that?
00:31I'm working on my eye contact.
00:33How come you never ask me about getting married?
00:35I'm your oldest son.
00:36Is it because something is wrong with me?
00:38No, no, no, no, no.
00:39There is nothing wrong with you.
00:41How long have you been with Maria?
00:43Hi, baby.
00:44You've been stringing your girl along for the last two years.
00:46I wanted to be with you, I wanted my family to be on board.
00:48Not just getting a green card.
00:49I think you're just scared of what your mom and your aunties down at the mosque is gonna say.
00:55I want a partner.
00:56Not someone who lies and then numbs himself to cope with it.
00:59And I don't want to marry you.
01:04Our asylum keeps getting pushed.
01:06It's like a depressing groundhog's day.
01:08I cannot continue these proceedings.
01:10Our entire case just imploded.
01:14Everybody says my olive oil is the best.
01:16Well, now they can buy.
01:17Tell you what, I'll look after the olive trees and you make the oil.
01:21They've been stealing my crop.
01:2321 trees, it's a big-ass heist.
01:25I get him back, you let my mom press her oil on the farm.
01:28Come on, this is it, bro.
01:31Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
01:34Think we're in Mexico?
01:35Let's just think this through.
01:36We'll just play dumb.
01:37I'll start speaking to you, boo.
01:38You start screaming in Arabic.
01:40That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
01:42When has screaming in Arabic ever calmed anybody down?
01:49I'm in Mexico.
01:50Like, for real, for real, Mexico.
01:52What are you doing in Mexico?
01:53You don't got a passport!
01:55Call your cousins, okay?
01:57We're gonna get you back home.
