"Pull the wires over this way." "Pull harder!" "Easy does it!" "Where do you think you're going?" "What is this mess?" "You call that work?" "They're coming!" "They're coming!" "Take cover!" "Hang on, I have customers." "Driss, move the tables aside." "I've had it with these weddings." "I'm staying put." "They can run me over if they want." " This phone doesn't work!" " It worked before." " I want my money back!" " No way." "MASQUERADES" "You want me to get sunstroke, is that it?" "Hamza?" "Hello there, old buddy!" "How are you?" "What's new?" "It's Mounir..." "Mounir Mekbel." "Sorry..." "It's about the microwave." "If you could get one for me..." "My wife's driving me crazy." "Hello?" "Bastard." "Look at that, look at that!" "My God!" "They look good, don't they?" "Know how much the Colonel rents them for?" "Take a guess." "Go on, say a price." "35,000." "And that's nothing." "People would even pay 40,000." "Did he give you the chicken?" "Doesn't it have mange?" "Don't be stupid, where do you see mange?" "Over there..." "It's for my sister, she loves chicken." "Didn't you have a knife in the car?" " What?" " A knife..." "What for?" " Move it!" " Want this in your face?" "Animal!" "Screw it on tight." "HARDWARE" "It's not for you." "You don't even know how to read." "Turn it over." "There we go." "Throw it away!" "Amine!" " What are you doing?" " We caught a beetle." "We're pulling off its arms and legs." " Would you like that done to you?" " Don't touch my son." "It's got a mother too, you know." " Go home." " We're playing." "What?" "I said go home!" " Where were you?" " Where do you think?" "If you don't stop, there'll be trouble!" "I break my back to get us food and all you do..." "Okay, fine." "And the microwave?" "The microwave is coming." "Go inside." "What's wrong with you?" "Hello." "Are you still there?" "Sleep until tomorrow." "You'll find me under a blanket of dew." "I dreamt of you three times today." " More than yesterday..." " And less than tomorrow." "What were you saying?" "We were talking about..." "Nadia's wedding." "Oh, yes." "That's it." "She's only seen this guy five times, one hour each time." "Imagine." "And she's going to live with him..." "She's mad." "He'll be under her thumb in ten days." " They rented the cortege." " They'll do what everyone else does." " Are you coming?" " Why should I come?" "If it's to spend the day drinking tea with the men it's not for me." "I'll take you there and pick you up, but that's it." "The other day I dreamt you spoke to Mounir." "I'll talk to him, I swear." "Just give me some time." "How long, Khalifa?" "It's been four years." "Let me finish the video club." "If I succeed people will come from all over to rent my films." "It'll be easier for me then." "Why is it so important?" "It's not important to me." "It's your brother, you know how he is." "It's a pity having to hide in the dark." "Are you mad at me?" "Mounir!" "Mounir!" "Stay with me, my brother!" "It's all right, I'm here." "Calm down." "It's all over." "What do you do at the Colonel's?" " Horticultural engineer." " Engineer?" "When did you start?" "Three weeks ago." " How did you get that job?" " Friends in the right places." "Exactly." "Salim, I'll bring my car tomorrow." "Take a look at it." "The air-con's broken." " He's needling you." " Why don't you tell him to go jump?" "I thought you could tell him for me." "How's Rym?" "Just fine, thanks." "Whenever I hear Rym's name I start to tremble, Hajja!" "Can't we joke now you're a big shot?" "What's your problem?" "Tell me, Mr Engineer, when I hear Rym's name, why do I tremble?" "You're an animal!" " Mounir, come back." " He's going to see Ringo." "Stop it!" "Leave the boy in peace." "Come back, son." "You know Krimo's joking." "You can't get mad at him every time." "Who does he think he is?" "Rym's a princess." "She has nothing in common with that scum." "I'll marry her to a real gentleman." "Take Mounir's word." "Are you making a collage?" " What's wrong?" "Do I need a permit?" " Nothing better to do?" "Here I feel like an artist." "For me, art is serious." "Art?" "Lazy bum, you mean!" "Not bad, the gun sticking out of his ear." "I can't reach Hamza." "I have his number but he won't answer." "He promised me a microwave." "Yes, okay." "Okay." "If you see him, tell him to call me." "It's urgent." "I'm counting on you." "Okay, bye." "Thank God..." " Tell me..." " Yes?" "Isn't it good that Nadia's getting married?" "Sure." "But I don't like how it's being done." "She's only interested in getting out of her father's house." " As for the rest..." " So what?" "So what?" "It's not done!" "Full stop!" "Do you live here or not?" "Any idea what people call you?" "Ringo!" "Because you don't do anything like anyone else." "Are you sleeping here or what?" " Where's your headscarf?" " I lost it." "Mine's with hers." "I'm not asleep." " Leave her alone." " Why, what was I doing?" "Leave her in peace." "Let her be." "Did you see her hairdo?" "I didn't do it." "She looks like a puppet." "She's so stiff." "I wouldn't bet a fig on this marriage." "I can hear her from here." "Ranya always has to criticise." "What a hypocrite!" "Ignore her." "Just enjoy yourself." "Are people having a good time?" "Wonderful, look!" "How many do you have?" "I have 100." "Give me a green one." "Here." "I want a few." "Give me some." "There are plenty in the kitchen." "Oh, my God..." "I'm so scared about tonight." "Are the pastries okay?" "Come on, he'll be good to you." "He'll want to..." "Look, look!" "Mounir!" "I got it!" "Horticulture means flowers." "You're a flower engineer!" "Why not say gardener?" "Why don't you talk louder?" "Horticultural engineer." "You kill me!" "You're so full of yourself." "Move aside, get out of the way!" "She knows she's sick so why does she bring her?" "I can't stand her." "Either she grins like an idiot or she's asleep." "She wants to meet someone." "In her dreams, maybe." "What she needs is a real brother." "You know Mounir." "You call that a man?" "A wimp!" "Not like my brother." "He's a Doberman." "With him around, she'd never have fallen ill!" "She'd have to get well." " Why not marry her off?" " You think that's easy?" "Who to?" "The first suitor." "Who wants a family of handicapped people?" " How do you like my lipstick?" " It was made for you." " We really are the prettiest." " Did you ever doubt it?" "Calm down, he'll explain." " Come here." " Leave him alone." "Come here!" "Speak." "Be gentle." " Talk or I'll skin you alive!" " They were making fun of her." " What?" " Be quiet, Amine." "I'm fed up!" "My friends say I live with a madwoman." "Ranya said no one would marry her, that she's handicapped." "And that you're a wimp!" "You know they're nasty gossips." "Mounir, pay no attention." "Mounir, forget about it." "Forget it, Mounir." "Bunch of suckers!" "Peasants!" "There's going to be one hell of a wedding." "Next time, the cortege will leave from my home." "Wake up!" "I'm marrying off my sister." "To a real gentleman." "His tie alone is worth more than all of your houses." "You don't believe it, huh?" "No problem." "I warned him that would happen." "I told him." "No one will believe me." "Because in my village they're a bunch of backward animals!" "Even Rym won't believe her ears." "Hey!" "I hear you!" "I can hear everything you say." "Yes, he knows all about it." "I hid nothing from him." "The doctors, the treatments, the fits, the specialists who say she'll never get better!" "I gave it to him straight." "And he said to me..." "That's no problem." "Seen my bait?" "It was in the fridge." "Mum's told you a thousand times to put it somewhere else." "Hello, Dad." "How are you?" "Let me put your cap on right." "I heard someone's asked for Rym's hand." "What's this all about?" "What have you done?" "Are you crazy?" "You want to kill me?" "What's this about a marriage?" "What marriage?" "Amine!" "I'm coming." "Who is this man?" "What's in your head?" "Would you stop bombarding me with questions this early?" "You want to marry her by force?" " Let go!" " I won't let go." "Let go!" " You know she doesn't want to." " I'm the man in this house." "I decide if she gets married." "Period!" "Too much is too much!" "The whole village heard him." "He could have raised the dead!" " He was drunk." " That's no excuse." "You can't insult people like that!" "Do you know the story?" "He met a guy at the Emir Hotel and promised him his sister." "Who is it?" "I only know he stays at four-star hotels." "You have to be able to afford that." "Since when does Mounir know guys who stay at four-star hotels?" "He works at the Colonel's." "He works at the Colonel's!" "He's a gardener!" "Understand?" " Have you seen Ringo?" " I wouldn't set foot in his dump." "You make deliveries at the hotel." "Can't you get some information?" "I'm not Kojak, pal." "Not Kojak, pal..." "I haven't seen him all day." "He's avoiding me, he doesn't dare face me." "It'll work itself out." "No, not as long as I sleep day and night." "But today, I'll hold out and wait till he comes home." "Where's Dad?" "Why isn't he home?" "He must have had something to do." "Rym will leave and it's my fault." "Why do you say that, Amine?" "Sweetheart, what's wrong?" "You know your father loves you and Rym to pieces." "You're what he cares about most." "Okay, he didn't like what people said about his sister so he went and promised her hand." "But you know your dad, he'll use his brain and everything will be fine." " It's not my fault he's not home?" " Of course not, sweetheart." "Give me a kiss." "A bigger one?" "My little man!" "Think she'll get better one day?" "Ask God and say a prayer." "Amen, Lord of the Universe." "One day, Dad told me that if eating pork would make her better, he'd eat it." "That's your dad." "You know how he is, slightly mad and..." "Crazy!" "It's just one of Mounir's wild schemes, don't worry." "Is he back yet?" "Get up." "Rym, stay calm, let me talk to him." "Why did you wake me up?" " Dad!" " Hello, son." "Dad..." " Amine, go to bed." " Why?" " Can't I stay?" " To bed!" "Have a seat, dear brother." "I'm sure you haven't eaten yet." "Speak up!" " It's not true." " What?" " No one asked for Rym's hand." " What?" " You mean..." " I was angry, it just came out." "It just came out?" "All this was only in your head?" "Okay, we'll pretend to meet him and then say you refused." "And you, my man, can find a car for tomorrow morning." "I'm taking the Lada." "Mounir, stop!" "Stop!" "This is cool!" "You like it?" "Look at his hair." "This hotel is a mess." "They call that civilised." "Get up." " We have time." " Get up!" " Rym, wake up." " Hurry, hurry, he's coming!" "Please, ma'am." "Move back." " Who is it?" " William..." "Mr William Vancooten!" "Rym!" " Tell us..." " We've been waiting all morning." "Rym..." " Rym, tell us." " Tell us..." "Did you see him?" "Did you?" "He's perfect." "What I like most is that he's afraid of no one." "He told the whole world he wants to marry me." " What's he like?" " What's his name?" "William Vancooten." "Australian." "Blond, blue eyes, strong as a lion!" "There were people all around him with mobiles and computers." "They even made everyone leave when he arrived!" "Don't pay any attention." "They're worn out." "Good afternoon." "Yes?" "Hi, how are you?" "About what?" "What?" "Who's Vancooten?" "Get up!" "This time you won't escape by sleeping." "Don't wake her!" "We planned everything." "What's this about an American?" " Just in time." "I'm in trouble." " You can't do it!" "I love her and she loves me." "It's been four years..." "Yes, four years." "Every night, I wait under her window." "I've wanted to tell you many times." "You can't marry her off." "Rym is mine." "I want to marry her." "And she wants to marry me." "Traitor!" "Bastard!" "I trusted you!" "I welcomed you into my home and what did you do behind my back?" "We love each other." "You know it." "She loves you, my ass!" "No one touches my sister!" "Go home!" "You won't marry her off." "I'd rather marry her to a cockroach." "Don't let me see you hanging around." "This time, I'll kill him." " Mounir!" " Dad!" "Microwave." "Cook a chicken or a blond." " What?" " A microwave." "It took a while, but I wanted a brand new one for you." "Microwave." " Are you sure Vancooten exists?" " Yes!" " Did you see him?" " No." " So he doesn't exist." " He does." "There was a table reserved for him!" " Enough, we heard you." " I'm telling you what I saw." "We need to calm things down, say we've had no news..." "You and I need to talk." " I discovered your little secret." " It was about time." "That's it, go back to sleep." "But from today the shutters stay closed and the door open." "Your little trysts are over." "And no more going out alone." "If you want me to sort this out, she has to knock it off." "That guy is crazy!" "I swear to you, they made everyone go outside." "He entered like a king." "50 or 60 guys were chasing him like dogs." " Who were they?" " His staff, assistants..." "With mobiles and computers." "Imagine, he booked two floors for his staff." "He does international business." "He's like a prince from Dubai, only blond." "How do you know all that, you viper?" "Mrs Abbas told me everything." "She was there when they came back from the hotel." " He's not Muslim?" " Of course not." "He's Swedish, but will convert." "He'll have to get circumcised." "His name is William?" "And before he left, you know what he did?" "He went over to Mounir, shook his hand, and said in front of everyone" "You'll see, family is important to me." "Mounir made it all up." "It's impossible." "Calling me a liar?" "I know what I'm saying." "I was there, I saw it with my own eyes." "With his staff, he takes up half the hotel." "The guys around him, they're real pros." "It was like an American movie." "The Colonel's cars are rubbish in comparison!" "I heard he's staying two more weeks." "And why is that?" " You said he knew Mounir." " Are you mad?" "The hotel's a bunker and he's surrounded by bodyguards." "You can't get near him." "And he's coming here?" "Don't worry, I'm okay." "But I'm leaving." "This place is a loony bin." " I can't stand it anymore." " Ah, Mounir..." "Normally, guys like him are locked up." "I don't understand what he's doing." "He's a public danger!" "And you, if you'd talked to him right away this wouldn't be happening." "He's my friend." "I knew he'd react like this." "I knew he'd say It's not done." "There are traditions." "We have rules." "Just listen to him!" "Please, go ahead, my friend." "Go ahead, my friend." "Go ahead." "What a guy!" "Congratulations." " Amine, come here." " What is it?" "Give these to your mum." " Hello, Mounir!" " Hi, Rédouane!" " Want a lift?" " I'm just going over there." "Get in, I'll take you." " All good?" " Yes, thank God." "Getting everything ready?" "Well, we're not in any hurry." "You shouldn't move too fast with these things." " I barely know him." " He seems serious." "In any case, if you need anything, my car or whatever..." "Your brother Rédouane is here." "Just ask!" " Thanks." " Are we neighbours or aren't we?" "Take care." "The Sahara or Algiers?" "For our honeymoon, would you prefer the coast or the desert?" "Not happy to see me?" "Before the honeymoon, we need to talk." "You can ask me all you want." " Why is your window closed now?" " You told him everything!" "He won't leave me alone." " And now?" " Habiba's outside." " Who's Vancooten?" " Don't know, never seen him." "And Mounir?" "The same." "He doesn't even know he exists." "Everyone says you'll marry him." "They'll believe anything." "I knew that all along." " There's no truth in it at all?" " Yes." "I'll be able to tell our children how brave you were." "You're all..." "Can't you do anything simple in your family?" "Sorry, we never learned how." "I'll do your hair for your wedding, if you like." "We'll see." "Why not?" " I'd love to give you my karakou.." " What for?" "So you can wear it on your wedding day." " It's beautiful!" " It was my mother's." "I only have boys." "You know our men." "Anything that's not from here..." "You're not narrow-minded like that, so I thought..." "Thank you, but we wouldn't want to spoil it." "You won't spoil it." "It will remind me of my mother." "I'll bring the pastries." "I made some!" "And I'll bring the marzipan!" "Don't bother." "We don't even know if..." "For Rym, it's a pleasure." "It's all people talk about." "You have to stop this before it's too late." "It's my problem." "Go to sleep." "Too bad this fiancé doesn't exist." " Let her marry Khalifa!" " Don't you start." "I don't want to hear his name in my home!" "They love each other." "Why don't you talk louder?" "He's your friend!" "You know him better than anyone else." "You tire me." "I would have killed anyone who stood between us." "You'll make me cry." "That's your problem." "You can't cry anymore." "If you could, this wouldn't be happening." "That night, if you'd told me..." "Why always bring up that night?" "If I don't play along, what do you think will happen?" "Take care of your cleaning." "I'll deal with the jackals outside." "That's enough..." "So, Habiba?" "Amine..." "Calm down, son." "Let your auntie sleep." "Over there, each mailman has a truck and in each truck there's a laptop computer." "You type the name and address and the package gets delivered." "Here, you have to find the guy in a café." " You know the bride's brother?" " He's family!" "I was at the hotel with him when he met Vancooten." " No..." " He eats with us!" "If the bride's brother is family, then so is Vancooten." "Which means he's my family too." " How's that?" " I'm your brother-in-law." "I see what you want." "Let me talk to him first, otherwise we'll just complicate things." "What's his problem?" "What do you want?" "He hasn't stopped staring at us." "He's a sicko." "Of course, I can hear you." "Dollars?" "Of course..." "Yes, brother-in-law..." " Hey, Mounir!" " Hi." "How are you?" "Good?" "How's the marriage coming along?" "He just called me." "I'm up to my neck in organisation." "Congratulations, my dear." " How are you, Mounir?" " Subhi!" "Sit down." " Okay, just for a coffee." " Are you snubbing us?" " Tell me, do you know about the deal?" " No." "What deal?" " You didn't tell him?" " No, not yet." "It's not much." "But we'd like to help you." "With the expenses you'll have, it might interest you." "It'll be a pleasure." " We need a nice suit." " You can count on me." "Hello." "How are you?" " Fine?" " Fine." " We made you wait, I'm sorry." " No problem." "Hello." "Here's the guy I told you about." "He knows about your troubles." "Like the Prophet said, peace be upon him," "Believers are like building blocks, each supports the other." "Tell him your worries, we'll see what we can do." "We want to buy pastures." "Despite our requests, the Mayor refuses to see us." "You know..." "Mr Pasha has spoken so much about you." "It seems you have a certain influence." "Let me stop you right away." "I told you, he's well known and many people appeal to him." "This one wants a hospital bed, that one a building permit, and so on." "I know him, he's a good Muslim." "Like the Prophet said, peace be upon him," "God helps those who help others." "But on the other hand, he's not a civil servant." "Money doesn't fall from the sky." "While he helps others, who feeds his kids?" "We anticipated this." "Ask him." "I don't know..." "Aren't you meeting with the minister tomorrow?" "Of course." "I'm meeting with him tomorrow in Algiers." "Can't you talk to him?" " What can we do?" " I don't know, you see..." "Tomorrow he'll be gone already." " You have how much?" " 500,000." "We could add 200,000." "700,000?" "What if we round up to a million?" "A million?" "Okay... it's a deal." "Give me the letter." "We prepared a letter for you." "Just give it to the Mayor's secretary." "You'll be received at once." "Listen to this." "Dear Boualem," "My friends here have a small request." "The pastures etc, etc." "If you could do something etc, etc." "They're like brothers to me." "P.S. I haven't forgotten your daughter's marriage..." "That's personal between them." "How does that suit you?" "We got them!" "I'd love to be there when they get to the Mayor's office." " A meeting with the minister!" " I nearly died!" " I got them to a million!" " How did you know they had it?" "Those guys never come into town." "I knew they'd be loaded." "Give me five!" "And now, let's go celebrate!" "Do you know Djanet?" "Is it beautiful?" "And Mostaganem, is it on the sea?" "It's all so far away." "It's a big country." "I want to swim in Jijel, spend the night in Timimoun, and have coffee in Algiers." "Can you arrange that?" "Yes, but before your coffee in Algiers," "I'll take you to bathe at Menaa." "You say this now because we meet in secret and hardly see each other." "Every minute counts." "We're capable of anything." "But if we get married, you'll be like other men." " Dinner at home..." " Or at my mother's." "I'd never stand it if you came home late." "Who said I'd ever go out?" "My love, promise me we'll travel everywhere possible." "I promise you we'll travel everywhere." "And now what will happen?" "I want us to always be together." " If I were a man, I'd be a pilot." " First woman pilot suits me." "It's impossible." "You know very well why." "It might not last your whole life." "How long will you stand it?" "And you, how long will you continue dreaming about me?" "Is this what the women in your films do?" "You want me to do what the men in my films do?" "Not yet." "God keep you." " We'll have to do it again." " God willing." "Good night." "Rédouane!" "My regards to your mother." "Thank you, brother." "Mum!" "Samir, you and I will do great things." "You see your boutique?" "I have lots of ideas." "We need to talk." "One, two, three, four, five..." "Go on." "There's the big boss!" " You looked great." " Come on, sit down." " What happened to your face?" " I fought with Mehdi and Faouzi." "Why?" " They made a toad smoke!" " So what?" " I wanted to let it go." " What for?" "It was smoking." "It was going to die!" "It's just a toad, what do you care?" "You lose your friends over a toad you don't even know?" "They wanted to make him smoke." "He was there, too bad for him!" "That's democracy, right?" "You rally round the strongest!" "You join the others or you die." " You join the others or you die." " Right?" "Mum!" "Mum!" " What happened?" " I got in a fight." "I'll be back, guys." "She'll eat him alive." " What are you doing here?" " The street's a free place." " What do you want?" " Hamza and Rédouane brought chairs." " What?" " For the wedding!" "Did you forget?" "Listen, it's time you woke up." "What's got into them all?" "He'll have to talk now." "He can't do anything else." "You impress me." "You don't sit around, you're active." "You have a job but you don't stop there." "You don't wait for things to fall from the sky." "When people ask How did Mounir get with the Canadian?" "I say Nothing's dishonest." "It's normal, he deserves it." "Look there." "A brother's gift for your sister's wedding." " Mounir, I have a gift for you too." " Where do we put them?" " He'll talk." " He won't." "He'll talk, he has no choice." "I'm not a puppet." "I won't let him do this to me." "My husband's lost his mind!" " Why did they unload?" " I can't help it!" "One got sugared almonds, the other chairs!" "Say whatever you like, but stop this." "I'm doing what I can." "I need to find the right moment." "That's it, the right moment." "I have to talk to Khalifa." "Normally, children my age are at play school." "I can't move out just like that." "You wanted us to be together." "Of course that's what I want." "But where will we go?" "We have to prepare things." "The only thing being prepared is a fictitious marriage." "Khalifa, you promised me!" "Rym, it's not that simple." "You live in your dreams where it's all simple." "Where I live, it's another story." "I'm the sole earner at home." "My family relies on me." "You want me to drop them?" "You only love me when it makes no waves." "It's Mounir!" "Go!" "You don't really mean that?" "I'm talking to you!" "Go out the window." "It doesn't matter." "I took my dreams for reality." "I'm invited to Tsaki's son's circumcision." "Snazzy, isn't it?" "Hamza gave it to me." " What's wrong with her?" " Why are you doing this?" "I'll sort it out, don't worry." "I'm going out with Rédouane and Hamza." "Don't wait for me." "What are all these chairs doing here?" "They're for the wedding." "What's this?" "What are all these chairs doing here?" "We have to act now." "We can't rely on Mounir any more." "He's lost on a merry-go-round." " What will you do?" " What does Khalifa say?" "This is all my fault." "I should have stuck to our plan when we returned from the hotel." "Khalifa said if people knew it would complicate matters." "I didn't listen to him." "Men are always right." "Don't you start saying stupid things too." "Habiba!" "Come here." "Where did the chairs go?" "Hey!" " Where are the chairs?" " At Hajja's." "What?" "Why did you take them there?" "I'm getting married, aren't I?" "That's where the ceremony will be." "Someone will offer me a cortege." "And we'll need a few sheep." "Dear brother, please enlighten me, are these presents for me, you, or Vancooten?" "Either I'm mad, or you're not normal." "Hello here, "Greetings" there..." "You'd do anything for those idiots' respect." "You'd let them look up my skirt!" "I'm sorry, but this whole story is making you crazy." "Where are you going?" "I don't want to sleep with you." "Mr Williams, let me introduce... my old friend, the Colonel, and I am... me... we..." "We'll do great things together." "You must meet my mother." "Do you know ?" "She makes the best ." "My mother, the old woman." "Stop." "I'll take you home." " I'd rather walk." " We need to talk." "How could you?" "Anyone else, I wouldn't have cared!" "But from you, I can't accept it." "I want to marry her." "It's serious, I want children..." "It's impossible, it's pure fantasy." "She's too young and you're not the right one." " What will she lack with me?" " Everything!" "Even I wonder how I put up with you for so long." "Oh yeah?" "I'm the one who puts up with you!" "You think you're a big shot but you're just a big nothing!" "Khalifa!" "Khalifa!" "Khalifa, my brother..." "Shit!" "What have I done now?" "Khalifa, brother..." " You're not hurt?" " Not yet." "But if I don't marry her, something will happen to me." "You idiot!" "So remind me..." "I can't marry her because we're friends?" "What planet do you live on?" "Look where we are." "There's only one road!" "You can go this way or that way." " So nothing ever changes?" " What is there to change?" "I don't know, but at least we could try." "That's it!" "The day we take a vacation, maybe." "I'm thirsty." " I have some water in the car." " It's not water I want." "Why do you drink if it makes you sick?" "Hey, Mounir, come here!" "See those two clouds over there?" "Doesn't that one look like me?" "The other looks like Rym." "It looks like Rym." "Come and see." "Blow with me." "They need to move closer together." "They need to touch." "They need to kiss in the sky." "I'm the one who drinks but it's you who is drunk." "Mr Mounir, my name is Khalifa Boukhati." "I officially request the hand of your sister, Rym Mekbel." "I love her more than my video cassettes." "Rym is a princess." "I'll give you many nephews to garden with you." "To marry a princess, you need to pass some tests." "Anything you want." "The man who marries Rym... has to get rid of Vancooten for me." "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "What's wrong with you?" "No use waiting for Vancooten!" "He's not coming." "He's never heard of you." "He doesn't want to meet you." "He doesn't even want to know you exist." "Bunch of fools." "You're so out-of-date!" "I hope you're all awake now because I won't say it again!" "Vancooten's not coming!" "It's impossible for him to marry her!" "Because Rym is mine!" "Rym is mine!" "Rym is mine!" "Rym is mine." " Shut up!" " Rym is mine." "Rym is mine!" "Give me the keys." "It's your house, not mine." "Rédouane Lamouchi!" "You were born out-of- date!" "Another one!" "Another test." " It'll be an impossible one." " I'm not afraid." "Make her sleep less." " Cure her?" " Don't say that, she's not sick." "She's just..." "Make her sleep a little less." "What are you doing?" "You'll wake the whole world." "Come inside!" "You stink of alcohol." "Is that any example?" "Don't worry, I have things under control." "Go to bed." " I have to walk my friend home." " He knows the way." "We had a long talk." "He does love you but he won't marry you!" "To bed!" "Rym!" "What's all this screaming in the streets?" "What's wrong?" " What happened?" " She didn't sleep here." "Khalifa, open up." "Open the door." "I know you're in there!" "Khalifa, open up!" "It's them." "What are you doing?" "Get Mounir, we have to talk." "When he saw Rym didn't sleep here, he stormed out like a madman." "Habiba..." "You've been a sister to me." "I'll never forget what you've taught me." "But I can't waste away in this room." "Do you remember when I first married your brother?" "He came home one evening and said we were going on a honeymoon." "He was so happy." "He told all his friends." "And I have to admit..." "I was happy too!" "Then one night, your dad and mine had a talk with him in the car." "They talked for a long time." "He refused to tell me about it." "And until this day, I've never left the area." " I have to go to him." " You know where he is?" "All night long he screamed Rym's mine!" "He's Khalifa Vancooten!" "Wouldn't it be better if he shut up?" " Why?" " You've lost all integrity!" "He's only sentimental, not mean." "Sentimental?" "He insults honest people!" " He lives in his basement..." " You shut up." "I'll show him who I am!" "Take your hand away!" "Hey, trouble's brewing!" "Rédouane's going to fight!" "The last time I came here was so long ago." "You and Khalifa set fire to Uncle Ali's place." "He messed with my mind, Habiba." " They love each other, Mounir." " He dishonoured her." "You can tell that to whoever you like, but not to me, and not here." "With us it was different." "Did it prevent me from being happy with you?" "We weren't the same age." "Let them live their life." "Good morning, my girl." "I've heard about a happy event." "I came to fulfil the prophecy." " God sent you!" " Always!" " God is good." " Come in." " Please." " Thank you, my girl." " Are you the bride?" " Yes." "God bless..." "I heard about the groom too." "Sheikh, I'm still young and don't know about things." "I don't want to do anything silly." "You couldn't make me happier." "People are usually in such a hurry, they have no time for anything." " First of all..." " Wait." "I'll be back in a minute." "We'll pretend it's for real." "I'll be the bride and my cousin will be the groom." "Now I understand!" " Have you understood?" " I've understood." "Take your time, I'm here." "I'll go and get the camera." " That's why Khalifa's not at home!" " His car is here." "Stop." " What do you want?" " Call Mounir for me." " He's not here." " Then tell Khalifa to come out." "He's busy." "This isn't what was planned." "She can't marry Khalifa!" "Why did you let her decide on her own?" "Mounir will never trade Vancooten for Khalifa, a loser from a hell-hole, a barefoot peasant!" "I wasn't talking about you." "For a man, marriage is a victory." "You're uniting with this young lady to make a family." "You must cherish her, provide for her and protect her." "In the name of God." "Amen." "Praise be to God, Lord of the Universe." "Now you may join your wife." "Sheikh, can you repeat what's usually said at this moment?" "Rym, according to the Prophet's tradition and divine law you are now the wife of Khalifa." "Congratulations." "Where are you going?" "This is a chance we can't miss." "Come on!" "Krimo, this is our chance." "Hamza, we can't miss this chance." "We were so close!" "Hamza!" "I'm Rédouane Lamouchi." "Come back, Krimo!" "Come back!" "Hamza!" "We should think about a daughter." " You want one?" " I'd love one." "We'll have to fill the void left by Rym." "Khalifa!" "Stop the car, Khalifa!" "Stop!" " Watch out!" " You don't know where to go!" "We'll be fine." "Watch out for the cars!" "Haven't you noticed?" " I haven't slept since yesterday." " What?" "Hang on, what did you say?" "Since yesterday..." "I haven't slept." "She hasn't slept." "She's not asleep!" "My head is spinning." "When she's with me she doesn't sleep." "She doesn't sleep!" "With me she doesn't sleep!" "If you so much as scratch her..." "What are you all staring at?" "Go home, go on!" "Subtitles by Abdomanx for KG"
