Where you going, amigo?
Huh, funny you say that,
I just drove down from Pasadena to do a little fishing is all,
- Oh! - So if you don't mind,
- I got me some cousins up in Pasadena, - Oh, okay,
You came all the way from Houston to fish here?
Yeah,
In them pants,
With no rod,
Well, uh, God gave me these hands,
so I decided, "Hey, what the hell, let's do a little noodling,"
Hell, almost got me a little catfish there,
Uh… Uh…
Damn near took off my thumb,
Now, fellas,
y'all need to just… just breathe in this air, It's nice,
We're all Texans here, okay?
Are we?
Shit, it's all about God,

- To get drunk, - Right, Right,
♪ Why you roll smoke? ♪
- To get stoned, - That's what I'm talking about,

- Keep it moving, - All right,
Spread out now,

Oh, for fuck's sake, Okay,
Do you speak English?
Yeah, I speak English just fine,
Shit, No accent even, Let me get that,
Careful with that ring, I'm gonna propose to my girl with that,
Lucky woman,
- Mohammed Najer? - Najjar,
Najjar, What's your birthday, 9-11?
It is, actually,
Hilarious,
You'll get this back when you're released,
This is a big mistake, I'm in the system already,
Yeah,
It's N-A-J-J--
I got it,
You are in the system already, Asylum pending?
See? Let me just make a call, My lawyer will clear all this up,
Detainee phone's broken, so you'll have to wait,

Let me make a call, My lawyer will fix all this,
Don't push your luck, I don't need bullshit,
At least tell me how long I'll be here,
- "48 to 72 hours," - You're doing air quotes,
That's how long it's supposed to be,
Could be a couple of weeks, maybe a month,
and that's before you maybe get sent to an ICE facility,
Get the fuck in there,
- Come on, - Get the fuck in there!
Could be worse,
You could be in Guantanamo with your friends,
Don't be like that, Jack,
Jack!
Just let me make the call, Jack!
- Jack? - Meow,
Is that a fucking cat?
Meow,
Todos tenemos nuestra historia,
All of us have our own journey,
You, you, me, todos,
Y no fue fácil,
It was very difficult to get here,
Very difficult,
¿Quienes eramos esperando?
We waited three weeks
for the ferry to take us close enough to the border
to go by foot,
And then ten days, caminamos through the jungle
with the mudslides, the snakes,
but the worst…
The worst was the cartel,
Three days we hide from them,
Drinking only the juice from the can of a sausage,
To make it last, you know,
When we finally…
Finally, we cross into Panama,
Fuck! You did all that to get to Panama?
Yes,
- Shit, - And you, what is your story?
Oh!
I… I took a bus from Mexico City,
But, um…
We fled the Gulf War in 1990,
Saddam Hussain came into Kuwait,
and my mom took the last bit of money that we had and smuggled us out on a bus,
Took a plane to Paris,
And we had a layover for 12 hours before landing in Houston,
I think… I think we took Delta,
- Meow, - What the fuck is this guy's problem?
The Cat,
He was amusing at first, but now he's just fucking annoying,
Meow,
So he's always meowing?
Yes, he's always meowing,
Meow,
Doesn't take any breaks?
There are no breaks,
Only meows,
Meow,
Jack!

Is there a little smile on your face, Jack?
I liked you better when I thought you didn't speak any English,
Come on, Jack, have a heart,
Hey, let me call my lawyer,
Please,
Okay, I tell you what,
If you make that shot from right here,
I'll call your lawyer for you,
- Done, - But if you miss
and you call me Jack again,
I get to tase you,
Uh, you… you're serious?
All right,
Throw in tacos for all the guys,
Real tacos, not that fucking MRE burrito bullshit,
This is not Shawshank, and you're not my fucking accountant,
Okay?
You make the shot, you get the call,
You miss, we play Guantanamo,
Okay, Okay, Get out of the way, Get out of the way,
Yes!
Lizzie Horowitz in Houston,
Lizzie Horowitz,

A deal's a deal!

Psst! English,
Oh!
Jack, these mattresses, So did you call my lawyer?
Yeah, Yeah, Lizzie Horowitz in Houston,
Oh, that's great, Jack,
- So can I ask you something? - Sure,
You weren't gonna tase me, were you?
Nah, you weren't gonna tase me, Come on,
So what is this?
Uh, you call an Uber, a bus?
Wait, what is this, Jack?
It's all part of the process,
You said you called my lawyer,
Yeah, I called your lawyer, I didn't call the fucking president,
Get in,
Come on, man, it smells so bad--
Get the fuck in!
"Jack, Jack, Jack!"
Just shut the fuck up, I'm sick of it,
- We had a bond, - Why would you think that?
Come on, I was joking around, having a good time,
Jack, it smells like everybody farted in here at the same time,
Jack!
You can't do this, Jack!
You don't have a bathroom in here, It's not your fault,
You gotta fart, you gotta fart, It happens,
Man, fuck this place, Sorry,
We lived in Kuwait
because it was very dangerous for us to live in Palestine
after the Zionists took over,
It was supposed to be temporary,
We always hoped to return back to our homeland, Palestine,
But after Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait,
it was too dangerous to live there too,
So we fled again,
This time, it was to America,
We lived in Houston for over 20 years now,
Please, Your Honor,
don't take this home away from us too,
While the danger posed to the respondents in Kuwait has subsided,
this court considers applications
based on the time they were originally submitted,
Jack!
As such, this court finds the respondents eligible for asylum,
The applications are granted,
Congratulations,
- Did we get it? - Congratulations,
Alhamdulillah,
Congratulations, y'all,
Thank you, Lizzie, Thank you, Thank you,
And Mo is front and center on my mind,
- I'm doing everything I can for him, okay? - Please,
Mohammed Najjar,
Najjar,
A man with no right of return,
I didn't choose to be stateless,
You think we'll ever get out of here?
Even if we do,
there's always another wall, bro,
I know where I'd go,
Palestine,
Palestine? What the hell is wrong with you?
Passport?
It's your grandfather's,
How'd you get this?
A nigga that knows how to get things,
I could use a man who knows how to get things,
Now hurry the hell up and ask me for a key,
A key?
Look after this key,
Grandpa?
Look after this key,
Grandpa?
Where are you, Grandpa?
Palestine,
Nigga, that's a pipe dream,
Palestine's all the way on the other side of the world,
and we're stuck in a cell,
Look after this key,
Khoud bihadha almiftah,
Comes down to one choice, really,
Get busy living or get busy dying,
Grandpa?
Mohammed Najjar crawled through a river
of foul-smelling filth and burrito shit that I can only imagine,
And came out clean on the other side,
Mohammed Najjar,
Free,
Hey, Al-Qaeda,
What's this? You gonna take me to the bathroom from Saw?
- What are we doing back here? - It's your deportation hearing,
Have a seat,
Come on, You can't be serious, okay?
I don't have an attorney present, This is so fucked up, Jack,
Just press the space bar, stupid,
Sorry, Jack,
Lizzie!
- Get me out, This place is a nightmare, - That's why we're having today's hearing,
No, you don't understand, It's been really messed up,
- Mo, you gotta let me do my job, - Mr, Najjar,
- They had me in there with 30 strangers, - Mr, Najjar,
The toilet is disgusting--
Okay, counsel, I've gone ahead and muted your client,
so we can proceed here,
Thank you, Your Honor,
Before we begin, I'd like to have a motion to stay today's proceedings,
My client has an immigration hearing pending in Houston,
I'd like to consolidate them,
Any objection from the government?
No? Well, that's a first,
I'm gonna go ahead and grant that motion
and unmute your client now, Ms, Horowitz,
And I started having dreams like it was Shawshank Redemption,
Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman, but I was Tim Robbins and--
Mr, Najjar, that is enough,
I'm sorry, I'm just emotional,
You're free to go as long as you agree to appear in Houston with Ms, Horowitz
at a date and time to be specified,
- Do you understand? - Yes, Your Honor,
- Yes, thank you, Your Honor, - Thank you,
Thank you,
Good luck with your proposal,
Why do you gotta treat people like trash?
Where's your heart in all this?
You've been here, what, two to three days?
I'm here every fucking day,
At least you have a choice,
No, What I have is a family,
I've got two special needs kids,
I've got a mother-in-law living in my fucking house,
I've got a leak I cannot pay for,
Okay?
The choice that I have is do I go home at night and blow my fucking brains out,
or do I get up in the morning and come back here,
and deal with shit like you again and again and again?
That's the choice that you're talking about,
So do me a favor,
Take your fucking ring, go get married, and get out of my face,
Take care of yourself, Jack,
Meow,
- Hey, finally, - Back home, baby!
Back home, baby,
- Peace be upon you, - And unto you,
Oh, bro!
God! Nigga!

Listen, man, fuck all of that shit,
Anybody do anything to you inside?
- You're okay? Nobody… - What?
Like, did anybody tickle your tush?
- Nothing like that? - You know what? I can't do this,
- You can talk-- - I haven't slept in two days!
I'm just asking you, bro, Therapy, There is therapy now,
If anybody do anything, tell me, I'll protect you,
- All right, this is ridiculous, - What? No, we love you,
You should probably…
No, Mo, you should probably get in the bed,
It's more ventilation,
He smells very bad, bro,
Wait, Listen, where I came from, this is a privilege,
Nasty,
Didn't even wash your hands,
Disgusting,
Full camo, huh? It's actually slimming,
Man, I missed America,
The greatest country on Earth, bro,
Nigga, for who?
Bro, if you don't love it, leave it, bro, Go back to Nigeria,
Dang, homie,
That's probably the most American thing you've ever said to me,
Really? Thank you, bro,
Listen, tomorrow, Trill Burgers, I've been craving for the last six months,
Ah, bro, tomorrow I can't, I'm sorry, man,
I'm going with Dallas, bro, to gun show,

I'm gonna be a busy tomorrow too,
With what, working?
Uh, well, I ain't really had time to tell you,
but me and Toya kind of got back together,
- You and Toya are back together? - Kind of?
Bro, not kind of back together,
Living together, buying a home together, doing the whole thing together,
Hameed, shut the hell up, I got this,
You bought a house with Toya?
We didn't just meet, You know what I'm saying?
We been on and off since high school,
Yeah, no shit, I know, I'm just saying,

Bite-sized Jafar, shut the hell up,

Listen, if I'm lying, may lightning strike me right now,
Uh, I'm still alive, bro,
I'm about to strike you,
Sorry, man, Truth will set you free,
Uh…
So have you seen Maria lately? Did she say anything about me?
I mean…
I mean, I get it, It's tough, long-distance relationships,
When I see her face to face, all that ice will melt, right?
I don't know, bro,
That's a long time, bro,
Is she married with kids now, or what?
For the record, bro, me and Toya ain't married,
Shit! How's your mom feel about that?
"Nicholas, why has thou forsaken me?"
"Why do you love living in sin?"
"Hasn't God done enough for you to not be fornicating?"
But who would've thought that between the three of us,
I would have the most successful and beautiful
and the only relationship with my Dallas?
I didn't see it coming,
Bro…
Say hello to your mom for me,
- I will, thanks, - Take care,
Bye,
All right, fam,
Hey, that brisket kind of made me wanna boo-boo,
Hey, be safe,
Yeah, I'll be a lot safer now that I'm out of your car,
You drive like a Nigerian immigrant,

I'm sorry, Crystal,
Hello, sweetie,
- When did you get home? - I just got here,
I missed you so much,
Watch out for my cat,
Oh, sorry,
I'm sorry about your room,
I can take some of this stuff out if you like,
starting with this jungle gym,
You could, That's okay, You could leave that, but the boxes…
You know, it'd be nice to have some of my stuff back in my room,
Right, It's just that it turns out that having some of my stuff in your room
makes my room more roomy,
Still, You know?
Well, maybe I could take some of it out in stages,
You know, that way I could ease Crystal into a new routine,
Otherwise, you know, she might feel anxious,
Oh, of course,
Of course,
Oh, okay,
All right, see?
I… I missed you, little bro,
- I missed you too, habibi, - Watch… Watch the cat,
Watch the cat,
Okay,
Mama, My beloved mama,
Oh, my love!
My dear mother,
I missed you,
Love you, Mama,
I missed you,
You donkey!
It's your favorite, How could you do that, uh?
I swear I will barbecue you,
- How could you do that to me? - I'm sorry!
Dummy!
Didn't mean to hurt you,
You think I wanted to be in Mexico selling falafel tacos?
Do you know how much trouble--
To your health, my love, Eat,
Do you know how much trouble you made for yourself?
Mama, this is delicious,
Lizzie tells your brother not to do anything stupid,
What does he do?
He crossed the river into the detention center,
Donkey,
Think I wanted to end up in detention center
where a guy just meows for days and days?
Just meowing,
Meow, Meow, Meow,
For days,
Crystal does it all the time, Doesn't bother me,
Look, it's not about me,
It's about you guys, My brother and my mom finally got asylum,
Praise be to God,
How long have we been waiting?
You should have been there,
Of course, Mama, I wanted to be there, But let's celebrate,
We already did that,
Nadia took us out for lunch to the Cheesecake Factory,
Lunch at the Cheesecake Factory?
Did you assess the olive oil situation while you were in Mexico?
Oh yeah, I looked into it, Come on, We're not ready to go international,
It's year five of my five-year plan based on the SMART system,
Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relative, and Time-bound,
Don't worry about that,
I'm back now,
I'm ready to take things to another level,
Another level,
You haven't even seen it,
Seen what?
Morning blessings, my son,
Excellent,
Very good,
Very good, Thank you,
- Wow! Amazing, - Nice?
Nice? These are beautiful!
You are an artist, Everything from your hands is blessed,
- My love, thank you, - May God protect you,
Sure is good to have you back, Mo,
What's up, man?
Yeah, man, this is incredible, It really is,
Thank you for letting my family use the farm like this,
No, It ain't nothing, I'm happy to do it,
Yeah?
You know, it'd been nice to get the trees Manny stole back
since that was the deal we made--
It would be nice to get six months of my life back,
You know, that's what I lost,
I'm losing money leasing my equipment to y'all for free,
not to mention the discount on the olives,
Oh, man, you know, everything I've been through with the legal troubles,
psychological stress, and trauma of chasing down your trees,
Trees I'll never get, but…
- Thanks for this, Buddy, - Hey, don't mention it,
Don't mention it, but I'm…
I'm still losing money,
Love you too, Buddy,
So how are you pricing the bottles?
The little ones at $14, and the big ones at $20,
- That's it? - Yep,
Why don't you just give them away?
Because we want to make money,
Exactly, We're losing money by not charging more,
No, but The SMART system says--
Just because it's called SMART, doesn't mean it's actually smart,
No, SMART's an acronym, Hamoodi,
Even Vanessa knows that,
The duck doesn't know that,
Habibi, take the duckling back to its mom, Please,
Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound!
I know you're a great salesman,
But this business is so much important to your brother,
And he's really good at it,
He works hard,
he knows the numbers,
and he's gaining so much confidence, ya mama,
Especially after the Chick'n Cone thing,
Please,
May God be pleased with you,
For my sake, give him the lead,
Yeah, of course,
What's wrong, sweetheart?
It just seems like everyone's doing well without me,
Maybe I should go back…
…to Mexico, go back there,
Mo, just think how much better their lives will be
now that you're back home,
Think Maria will feel the same?
God knows best,
May God be pleased with you,
Fuck!
God!
When'd you start working on slabs?
A couple of months ago, I got tired of waiting for my second shop,
So I just went for it,
Are you okay?
Mm-mm,
Yeah, these things are just…
These things even street legal?
I mean, fuck all that, You look amazing,
What have you been doing?
Working out, I got time now,
Clearly, you got--
Fuck! You gotta watch out for these things,
I mean, man, you are, like, glowing,
I can't even look at you, Where my shades at?
I need my shades, You're like a solar eclipse,
- Come on, Mo, - No, I'm serious,
You look beautiful,
How did you get home?
I took a hot air balloon, you know?
The gust of wind took me to Arizona, but…
- …a little shift, and I-- - Seriously,
I crossed the border and got caught,
- What? - I was out of options,
Mo, what about your case?
I don't know,
We'll see,
Man, I missed you,
I'm… I'm not doing this,
Doing what?
This, Whatever it is you're doing, Okay? I'm not doing it,
- Maria, - I was there,
I went to Mexico that first week,
I was there, I showed up for you,
And you told me very firmly to move on,
- Firmly? - Yeah, firmly,
That's a little strong, okay? It was more like, you know, softly,
Like, "Maybe… Maybe you should move on,"
Firmly, softly, however you said it, you said it,
I was living in a janitor's closet,
It was fucking embarrassing,
I didn't know how long I was gonna be stuck in Mexico,
I didn't want to burden you,
I wanted to be a partner for you,
I've always just wanted to be a partner for you,
But you don't know how to take help,
For better or for worse,
It's the same reason, Your stupid pride,
Didn't tell me about the lean,
nor about the gangster you got mixed up with,
It's just not a good fit,
I'm sorry,
Babe, I love you,
I love you too, I really do,
And I'm very, very happy that you're home, but we just don't fit,
- Look-- - We don't,
All right, you…
I get it, You need space,
How much time do you need?
I'll wait,
I'll wait this time, I'll wait,
Mo, I'm seeing someone,
What?
I'm seeing someone, and you need to respect that,
