00:01Uh, we, I mean, I, uh, think that...
00:05You may not be the best fit for our camera.
00:09Is your mother breaking up with me?
00:11We want the ring back.
00:13Aww.
00:14Give it back.
00:16Give it back.
00:19You should try again.
00:21You're running out of time.
00:22It is cool.
00:23She's a lesbian.
00:25You don't know yet who you are or what you want.
00:28I really want a cheeseburger right now. I know that.
00:31Don't worry, I have a son and he likes older women.
00:36I have arranged for you to go out with Dr. Asad's son tomorrow.
00:39It's Lynn's protest tomorrow, Mom. I can't.
00:41Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Patriarchy has got to go! Hey, hey!
00:45I'm Alex.
00:46Here's my card.
00:47Oh, card. It's really the 90s.
00:51I grew up in Orange County, but my parents are from Iran.
00:54You know, the super peaceful country and the least never in the news.
00:57I've heard of it.
00:58He's this free-spirited artist who's funny and gentle and sensitive and progressive.
01:02I'm from a family of fascists, so we're going to Mussolini him out of my life.
01:08You're not gonna die.
01:09Oh, yes I will.
01:10She might.
01:13So your parents...
01:14...are divorced.
01:15And my dad met a great guy.
01:16Did you meet Steven and realize you were gay?
01:18Or were you feeling unfulfilled with Maggie and then you realized you were gay?
01:22Wow.
01:23I'm just trying to understand how it all happens.
01:25Alex, congratulations. I hear you're a doctor.
01:28He's actually an artist.
01:30My mom's gonna want to drink a bottle of the best tequila with you until you have to put her to bed.
01:35My mom's gonna want to make you feel super inadequate in everything you do or will ever do.
01:39God is about sacrifice, understanding, and forgiveness.
01:44Do you think our families are too different?
01:46I want you to be happy.
01:48I want you to be happy.
01:57Yeah, he makes art out of balloons.
01:58I like it.
02:00I think he's all that.
02:01He's really excited to meet your family.
02:18My mom and I here.
02:19I think it's something that love was the first day of my dad.
02:21I'm so happy to come back to you.
02:22To be happy.
02:23I love you.
02:24I love you.
02:25Alright, so let's see.
02:26My family was just beautiful.
02:28With you right, thanks for being nice, young.
02:29I love you, brother, I love you.
02:31Yeah, you are.
02:32I love you.
02:33This, you are two.
02:34I love you.
02:35I love you, brother.
02:36My family.
02:37I love you, brother, I love you.
02:38I love you.
02:39A love you.
02:41I love you.
02:42I love you.
