In the name of God.
Ziryab, did you put on your 'barkaata'?
Ziryab.
Come on, you're going to make us late for school, hurry up.
These threads are driving me insane; they're completely tangled.
Wait, now Basidou will fix these threads for you, and then just hold them in place with your hands, alright?
Anyone who sees you like this would say you only need a green dome over your head, and we should visit you for blessings like a holy man.
And those who see your antics would shoo you away without a second thought.
Good morning, my beautiful wife.
Ah.
Just gently, to not scare the kid.
I'm not scared anymore.
Look, love, now you're siding with Basidou against me, despite everything.
Well, take the kid to school so he won't be frightened. Then we'll have our discussion.
The same tape you play every day.
- Makki, what are you trying to say? - I didn't say anything.
So, keep being mean to me, just keep going.
Don't forget to stop by the fishmonger for sardines and the greengrocer for some eggplants and cucumbers.
Asmae, my sister, God guide you, is it really necessary to take the bowl and the news by hand?
Yes, lady, we're going to eat the sardines and with eggplants we're making 'Zaalouk,' and the cucumbers are for the salad.
Come on, go tell the others. That's it.
Look, Boutros.
It's shameful to call your father 'Boutros' in such a way.
Uncle Makki, good morning. Good morning, my son, you're back. Just now.
Zozo, good morning.
- My name is Ziryab. - You know I named you. Aren't you going to greet me?
Shame, my son, don't hide from your father, go greet him.
Here.
Hug me.
Uncle Makki, good night. I wanted to wish you a blessed day.
Take care, my son, may God assist you. Amen.
What is this you're doing? It's shameful, he's your father.
But he's calling me Zozo, is my name Zozo?
Come here, come here.
Dear, good morning. I was waiting for you, come in, come in.
Sit down.
What's with my dear thinking? and no longer with us in the kitchen.
Nothing, my Dear, just—
Faten owe me the alimony for many months.
Here you go. Count it.
Hide it.
Come, your mom might see it.
Ziryab, I no longer see him because he refuses to greet me.
You know, Dear, I've become ashamed to look at him, unable to even buy him a toy or anything that would make him happy.
Look.
Here it is from your Dear. don't think that your Dear isn't on your side.
Keep your money, forget about you. I'm talking about big amounts.
No need to swear, I swear you'll take it. See, this will bring you sustenance.
- You've arrived, my dear. - Good morning, mom. - Good morning, my mom's lantern.
- Just got in? - Yeah, I'll go up to lie down, I'm tired.
What should I say my son, may God bring you a better jon, so you too can sleep at night and live with us during the day.
- This is God's will, pray with me, mom. - May God open doors of goodness for you. - Amen.
Go on, my love, go rest.
- Take care. - In a little while, I'll bring you breakfast. - Okay.
So, you're not going to say 'good morning' to me?
Oh my, give me that hand.
May God be pleased with you. I told you 'good morning' at 6 AM when you woke me up with your snoring.
- Shame on you, I snore? - So, am I lying?
This time, I won't go until I record you, mom, and give you a taste of the chainsaw sound that sleeps by my ear.
So, I'm the one who sleeps, it's you who keeps watch over people while they're sleeping.
Me and you, mom, we both know why I lose sleep.
- Salman, it's you who will wake him up, you're the only one who knows how. - Okay.
- Amina, I've been calling you since morning. - Okat my dear, I'm coming.
Make sure you don't forget the kid to not make him late for school.
Okay, be at ease.
