Hi!
We have a 50% discount on our products today!
Oh!
Hope to see you!
You know, Ola, I think you're lucky.
I mean, we come here to escape from all the stresses of marriage and everyday life, while you're making tons of money off of it, having fun with no stress at all.
I swear you're gonna jinx me, Rasha, I swear.
My dear Rasha, I pray you never lose it.
Oh, wait.
I don't mean the stress.
I mean your marriage, your beloved husband.
Stability is also important.
And I'm not making as much money as you think, anyway.
Like today, everything's half price for single ladies.
Yeah.
But you won't get a discount because you're not a single lady.
No offer for you today.
Hi, Soha.
Glad you came.
I mean, you worked very hard and you need to pamper yourself a little.
How are you doing?
Oh, I could really use some pampering, especially when it's half price.
I don't believe you've ever met Nisrin here, my friend and business partner.
Hi.
Soha, she's Hisham's cousin.
Hey, I've heard so much about you.
You're the strong, independent, blonde, crazy … banker.
Banker.
Banker, yeah.
Right, that's me.
Nice to meet you.
Likewise.
Can you guys do me a favor and get a loan from my bank to expand this business?
I'm sure you can open up more branches.
Well, I think it's a bit too early for adding branches.
What do you mean too early?
Of course it's not.
Anyone in your place would have gotten a capital injection from an investment fund to open up branches all over the Arab world.
Don't mind her.
I'm on board.
You just find someone with money to spend and leave the rest to us.
Yeah?
On to more important questions.
Okay.
How do you want to be pampered today?
Tell me.
Yes, pamper me, please.
Your skin looks dry, and you have blue circles under your eyes, right, Lulu?
Dark blue circles, right?
Blue circles?
Do you know his favorite color, his favorite food, and where he cuts his hair?
Girl, you're so weird.
It's like you're some kind of Yesenepedia.
Anyway, is your dad picking you up in the morning, or are you staying at his place?
I guess he'll pick me up in the morning, and we'll go straight to camp from here.
And you?
Hey, Hisham.
How are you?
What?
What do you mean you're not taking them to the camp, Yixiang?
What happened?
Well, I'm sorry to hear that, but I mean, are you that sick?
Anyway, I hope you get better soon.
I hope you feel much better.
Fine, but you tell them.
I'm not telling them.
You're the one bailing out.
Why should I be the one to break their heart?
Yes, call Nadia and tell her.
See you.
Get better.
Bye.
What does he want?
He's just been dramatic.
He got a little flu, and now he doesn't want to take them to that camp they've been dreaming about.
Okay, stay calm.
You're so damn lucky, Ola.
What?
I'm speaking with an investor I know, big name, super wealthy.
I told him about your brand, and he's very interested.
Yes.
Yes, she's in front of me.
When?
When are you available?
It has to be this week.
Slow down, will you?
I mean, it doesn't have to be this week.
We have plenty of— Saturday okay?
Saturday?
This— Good.
Great.
That's great.
She'll see you then.
Bye-bye.
I've always believed in you, by the way.
I know.
But listen, if this deal goes through, all your business transactions go through me, okay?
Yeah, of course.
You got it.
Now take this thing off my face.
I have to get back to work.
Nonsense!
We're not done pampering you.
Come here.
Come on, let's get it over with.
You'll look so much better after your facial mask.
Sit down.
Mommy, are you here?
Oh, how much I hate men!
Hey, you think we can lose the long faces and maybe smile a little?
We made it!
We're finally at the camp!
Wow!
Walid El-Torki and Maryam Walid El-Torki!
Yes, sir!
Amir Ramez and Adam and Ahmed Amir Ramez!
Yes, over here!
Ehab Ibrahim Yusuf, and Adam and Hanin.
Hisham Amer, and Nadia and Salim Hisham Amer.
Salim Hisham Amer.
We're right here.
The name is correct, but where is Hisham Amer?
Unfortunately, something came up, so I'm here instead of him.
I'm the kid's mother.
I'm afraid that won't work.
Why?
Why wouldn't it work?
I'm sure it will work.
No problem here, so it will work.
What do you mean it'll work?
This is a father's camp, so it's only men.
Excuse me, sir, but I don't understand who exactly gets to determine this.
The rules.
The rules that you signed before coming here.
Actually, I, as Ola, haven't signed anything.
Anything at all.
Hisham Ahmed.
The kid's father.
And your husband.
He signed and agreed.
So, you can call him.
Or you can go over there to the camp for moms.
By the way, this is called discrimination, and I would like to report it with everyone present.
As a parent, I have the right to be with my kids anywhere and anytime I wish to do so.
Plus, it's not like I'm gonna need anything extra from you.
I'll just sleep with my kids.
Does anyone here have a problem with that?
Personally, I don't have a problem.
See that?
Thank you, Doctor.
Ma'am, I'm Hasen Abdelhai.
I'm the founder of this camp here, and I have a problem with that.
But what is it, sir?
If there's a problem, maybe we can find a way to solve it in a friendly manner.
Come on, it's fine, Dad.
It's not a big deal.
We can take a vote, and it would actually be a good chance to teach our kids about democracy.
If you have any objection about this woman staying here, raise your hand.
I think it's clear this settles it then.
But this is not a democracy.
I'm going to let her, just for you, Yasin.
OK?
Should we get moving?
The sun is getting very hot.
Yeah, let's go.
Oh, uh, Daddy, can I sleep with Nadia and her mom in their tent?
And leave me alone?
Let's go, sweetie.
OK.
Then Salim will sleep with me.
It's Salim.
Right, Salim.
Salim.
Let's just stick together, us men, so that Captain Hassan doesn't get angry.
Do you snore?
No, Sunny.
Isn't there anyone to carry our bags?
No one?
Great.
Captain Hassan is gonna bully us till the very last day.
Weren't you the one who said, I wanna go to camp, go to camp, go to camp?
There's no winning with you.
Just cheer up, Nadia.
I, for one, am excited.
It's been a long time since we had a little bit of girls' time together.
Chatting and gossiping all night.
Don't you agree, Zeyna?
Okay, I'll finish up later.
Horrible Hasun wants to meet the parents.
This man is gonna give me hell.
And I don't have the patience.
So Yassin's father is Horrible Hasun.
So good luck with that, girl.
This is to confirm our appointment tomorrow at four at the Mana Angels' headquarters in Zamalek.
So she was actually serious.
You're so annoying, Soha, even when you're helping me.
I founded this camp after a certain incident that made me realize how distant I'd grown from your scene.
Oh, am I late?
Sorry.
Hi.
Hey, no sitting.
Again, the reason why I founded this camp.
was a certain incident that made me realize how distant I'd grown from Yassine.
That's why, as fathers, we need to get closer to our kids, get to know them better, and enjoy the time we spend with them.
Otherwise, they'll grow needy and obsessed with their... moms.
Hasun is really asking for it.
Before coming to the camp, we asked from all the kids to take time to write down for us what they expect from their fathers.
I'm going to read what they wrote, but I'm not going to say who wrote what.
Naturally, your kids expressed their expectations about their father, not about you.
Is that clear to you, Miss?
Doctor.
Oh.
Dr. Sabur.
Ah.
But you can always call me Dr. Ahmed if that happens to make you feel better.
Welcome, doctor.
Yes, welcome.
Thank you.
Hi, Nadia.
Hi.
Your mom seems pretty cool.
I bet she's tough, though.
Mm.
But how?
Wasn't your dad able to make it?
No.
He got a very bad flu, so he couldn't come.
Sorry to hear.
I'm glad you're here.
So your dad's the one who made up all those crazy, stupid rules?
He's the one.
That's his way of showing me that he loves me.
And at the same time, he gets to do his favorite thing, and that's controlling everyone.
I'm worried he'll butt heads with my mom.
You don't want to mess with her.
Great.
I know I'll have fun watching.
Uh, Nadia, we should go get ready.
Oh, okay.
I'll see you later.
Okay, bye.
Bye.
Hey, didn't we agree that you'd forget about him?
Are you really jealous, Zen-Zen?
Zana, no one will ever take your place.
I'm hungry.
When are they gonna serve the food?
We'll wait and see.
Someone wrote,
I wish my dad would finally stop telling me what to do.
Clearly this kid has really had it.
Another one wrote, I wish things could go back the way they were when mom was alive.
When dad used to talk.
Now he's just quiet all the time.
I also wish he would cook me musaka again.
Something he used to make a lot.
A dad who cooks musaka?
Hmm.
Nobody makes it like he does.
Of course!
Who cooks better than a dad?
Another kid wrote, I wish my dad could come back from work before my bedtime.
Another one wrote, I wish dad and I could become close again.
When he said he was going to book this camp, I was so happy that he wanted to spend time with me, especially because he hasn't been living with us for some time now.
But there's actually one thing in common between all the kids.
They all said, I wish daddy let go of his phone a little and gave me some attention.
Right.
So we've decided to take away all your phones.
We'll keep them with us and give them back to you before you leave.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No way, no way, guys.
I haven't agreed to this.
No way.
But listen, ma'am, you can ask Hisham about this.
He agreed and signed.
Well, you're not talking to Hisham, sir.
No, no, no.
Plus, I can assure you that my kids would never write that about me.
So basically, this doesn't concern me at all.
Plus, I'm a working woman and I need to check on my business.
Ma'am, I mean, look at all these men around you.
Do they look like housewives to you?
I don't understand.
No, no way.
I'm not giving up my phone.
Fine.
But the law states that I can at least make one last phone call.
Why are you acting as if you're under arrest, huh?
I tell you what, just go ahead and make that phone call.
Go ahead.
Go ahead!
Hello?
Hey, Miss Lin.
Yes, I'm here at the stupid camp.
A good time?
This place is a prison for parents!
Horrible Hasun is taking away our phones now.
Who?
Who was the one?
The one who suggested that, the one who said she could stay, and— It was you, Marwan, you!
You'll have to go with Montasir.
Yeah, fill in for me.
Why are you asking me?
Just figure it out, Nesrin.
I'll send you Soha's number right now.
Yes, fine, I'm coming!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, honey.
Okay, bye-bye.
Thanks, thanks.
Just a second.
No, someone else was collecting these.
Where's he?
Hussein, get her the basket.
Yes, that's the law.
The law.
So where will you be keeping these?
We'll keep them in the main tent.
I have to make sure they're safe.
The main tent.
And now, I believe we can start our activities.
Ready?
Ready!
What?
I can't hear you.
Ready!
Just a second, everybody.
Doctor, for the love of God, please don't be lazy.
Me?
I'm your best bet.
Who's lazy?
We're winning.
Let's go.
All right.
Let's do this.
Come on.
Pull.
I am pulling.
Pull, Nadia.
Pull.
Come on.
Hard pull.
Pull, Nadia.
You look at me.
I am pulling.
Dang.
Yes.
I knew it.
This is what we get!
Are you just gonna leave your son on the ground like that?
Do you want more?
Okay.
Mom, did you bring my soothing cream?
Of course, I brought a whole pharmacy with me, baby.
I knew that none of the fathers would really think about these little details.
Clearly, this food was also cooked by fathers, definitely not by mothers.
So, doctor, you don't like the food?
Oh, sounds harsh.
But us men can eat rocks if we have to.
Not really, Hasan.
Personally, I'm a big fan of cooking.
I mean, you have to try my moussaka.
Tell them, Zeyna.
I miss it.
I do too.
So, you're the moussaka man.
Anyway, Doctor, this whole camp, all of it, is manly.
I mean, your son Salim has no complaints.
Not only does he like the food, he's practically devouring it.
I'm going to get some more pasta before it's gone.
Come on, Yossi.
Come on, come on.
That's my girl Zeyna.
Come on.
Bravo, Zanzu.
That's it.
That's my girl.
Good morning.
Hey.
Do you mind if I get some of your cream for my daughter as well?
Sure, of course.
I have enough for everybody.
There you go.
I'm Mahmood Al-Aity, an engineer.
I'm Hassan's friend.
You're Hasan's friend.
And you're saying it just like that.
Yeah.
And make sure to put on some sunscreen in the morning.
If you haven't got any, I have some in my room.
Okay.
Thanks.
Okay.
Bye.
Okay.
Go on, Luzhi.
Okay.
By the way, is this cream just for children only?
You're so funny.
So old-fashioned.
Okay.
Excuse me.
Luzhi, wait up.
Luzhi.
Mom!
What's up, baby?
Why don't we try this?
Hell no.
I'm scared of heights.
I didn't come here to torture myself.
Where?
Where did Salim go?
I don't know.
Maybe he's taking a nap or... I can't see him anywhere.
Salim!
Limo!
Is something wrong?
No, it's just that I don't see Salim anywhere.
Maybe he went to your room.
I'm sure he left.
Sure.
Where else would he be?
Okay, I'll go down to look for him.
No, no, no, no, no.
Stay here.
I'll just go.
Just stay here in case he comes back.
Salim!
I'm over here!
What are you doing here?
I don't like these games, so I decided to come here, just to stay by myself.
OK, then.
Can I come sit with you?
Mm, OK.
Now, show me.
What are you doing?
It's a trick that I do with a pen.
I learned it yesterday from the internet.
That's so cool.
Listen, I have an idea.
How about we go back?
Your mom is looking for you.
I can't go.
I'm too tired.
Piggyback?
This reminds me of Zayna.
I carried her the exact same way.
My dad, too.
Daddy used to carry me when I was too tired to walk.
But now I don't see him that often, so I don't get carried as much anymore.
Well, you're being carried now.
Who does Zayna look more like, you or her mom?
May she rest in peace.
Her mom.
Why?
I'm sure her mom was very pretty.
Very.
Guys, these hikes are the most essential part of our camp's spirit.
It's a perfect way to create a strong bond for both parents and children.
Not to mention that it allows you to enjoy nature's beauty and to breathe in the clean air.
How are we supposed to breathe when we're out of breath, damn it?
Come on.
Follow me.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Inhale.
Exhale.
So, you must think that I'm a terrible mother, right?
Losing my son, picking up my kids at the police station... I don't know what to say.
Like I'm so in control.
We're all a mess, Ola.
And we're all trying.
You're right.
It's okay.
Anyway, did things get better afterwards between you and Hisham?
Yeah, they did.
Hisham's a good man.
Of course, of course.
By the way, your... your kids are lucky to have you both.
Even if you're not together.
And Selim.
I think that Selim is good at selling.
I'm sorry.
I think he was affected by what happened, more than Nadia.
Well, Nadia's very sensitive too.
She just doesn't show it.
Yeah.
Did he say something?
I mean... He did.
Guys, we need to hurry and get back before it gets dark up here.
The mountain is not safe at night.
Let's go, let's go.
He says it's not safe here.
It's not safe, everybody.
I missed you so I thought I'd come over for a cup of tea and a little chat.
Can I come inside?
Hey, Ola.
What are you doing?
King, look.
The weather's just lovely.
I'm sure you're wondering why I came here.
And I know that you can't stand my guts.
Don't bother.
You don't see how your face changes every time you see me.
And I know you think I'm a threat to Ola's ability to have a stable life.
Tell me why.
Is it because I'm not married to someone yet?
Or because I'm loud, stubborn, and self-assured?
because I take what's mine.
That's why you were scared of me just like Yixuan.
That's why I wasn't surprised when Ola cut ties with me.
I know.
I suppose it's a good thing that you two are back in touch.
But when she pushes back, and when she decides to be herself, to be Ola, not someone's daughter or someone's mother or wife, you practically shut her out.
That's what brought me here today.
Let me just say that what happened with you two was not right.
Okay, let's do this now.
You cover me, huh?
Okay.
Shouldn't you make sure there are no cameras around?
Huh?
Cameras?
It's a tent.
Where's the... Ha!
Found it.
Huh?
What did you find?
Oh, do you want your phone?
No, no, no.
Leave it there.
I'm happy without it.
As you wish.
Well, that's good.
I guess first impressions do last.
First impressions?
Maybe the tenth.
No, really, though.
I keep seeing versions of you that are so different from what you were like over the past few years, it seems.
Yeah, I did change.
Okay, so which version is better?
Now or before?
Honestly, the one in front of me now seems to be much more authentic.
If anyone else thinks you changed for the worse, that's their problem.
Good answer.
I'll take it.
Seriously though, I can't believe that I actually made it in here.
The camp for men only.
I can't believe it.
You're pretty crafty.
No, really, not everyone can do what you pulled off.
You fought for what was right, and that's not easy.
And by the way, this place here is perfect for finding what you were looking for.
Better than the damn supermarket.
I'll kill you, Miss Jean.
Actually, I'm not looking anymore.
Not at all.
Can I tell you something?
You're one of the strangest people I've ever met in my life.
Well, I'm sorry to be saying this, but what I mean is, even though your daughter practically lives with us, I can never tell whether that makes you happy, unhappy, or sad.
I mean, sure, you seem calm and serious, but I can't really tell whether you're boring or not.
I'm really sorry that I'm saying this, but I mean, you're strange.
You're strange.
So you'd like to place everybody in their own little box.
Does that make things easier for you?
So, to answer your question,
I let my daughter do whatever she wants because I will never be able to offer her the things she misses from her mother.
Rest in peace.
But one more thing.
I'm not boring.
I'm not.
Okay, good.
I'm really sorry for saying that part.
I mean, really.
I've become too impulsive lately.
I apologize.
Anyway, I got up to steal my phone.
What about you?
Why did you get up?
Salim does snore.
I know that.
Salim does snore, but I couldn't sleep anyway.
We're supposed to write that letter to read out loud to our kids.
It's stressing me out because I'm not really good with emotions.
Well, I was wondering where Zeyna got that from.
Maybe I can help you.
Tell me.
I don't think you can.
I don't think anyone can help me.
How can you begin to help a father tell his 12-year-old daughter
that he feels guilty every day because he couldn't save her mother when he's this big shot doctor.
And that he's afraid he could never give her the tenderness her mom gave her.
So sometimes he wishes he was gone instead of her.
And that's why he's unable to cope.
So he's drowning himself in work and abandoning her at your house.
Well, why don't you just tell her that?
Just write it like that.
Hmm.
Isn't it a bit hard?
Oh, by the way, I never told you how grateful I am to you for taking Zana in without ever judging either of us.
That has made a huge difference.
You don't need to.
All right.
I'm starting to miss listening to Selim snoring.
Good night, Ola.
Good night, little one.
Yeah.
You see this one?
We were on our way to pick up Nehmedo, who was coming from Hague, and I had to make sure that Ola looked her best.
So I dressed her up in her most beautiful dress, but the poor thing, the minute she put it on, she started spinning and wiggling.
She was scratching herself all over.
The dress was very pretty, but its fabric was so itchy and rough, it was horrible.
Still, I didn't give a damn.
I insisted that she kept wearing it.
I did, I swear.
I'm sure you didn't let that slide.
So what did you do?
Nothing.
I just told Ola to stick it out.
Just like my mother used to tell me.
When I would reach out to my mother about anything at all,
She would never sit and listen to me and let me vent or anything like that.
No, no, never.
She would tell me one thing.
Stick it out.
And I did just that.
I stuck it out.
I got used to it.
I never speak up.
Ola told me she loved me the other day.
I know she does.
And I love her very much.
She's my daughter.
Why else would I do all this?
It's because I love her so much.
They'll be coming back soon.
Please answer the phone when she calls you, Sohir.
Enough.
I wanted to apologize.
I didn't see you with a clear eye.
I misjudged you.
Okay, I'll, uh... I'd better leave now.
I'm not really into overwhelming emotions and all that.
Am I growing old or what?
Goodbye, Sohir.
Goodbye, Reyda.
Why?
I mean, why?
Hi.
Have you heard about Second Chance?
It's my mom's brand.
It's all organic, absolutely no chemicals.
This here is aloe vera soothing cream, and this is our sunblock.
You can try them out if you want.
Hey, Nadia.
Huh?
I heard that you're vegan, so I got you a carrot-spinach smoothie with ginger.
Wow, thank you.
Anytime.
Hey, what's this one?
Uh, where were we?
Oh, this one is aloe vera soothing cream for sunburns.
Why don't you put that there?
The first game we're playing is called, How Well Do You Know Me?
We're going to ask you questions about your kids.
And your answers will determine how well you really know them.
Afterwards, we'll do the same with the kids.
Oh, God.
Hey, what are you looking at me for?
I gave you my phone, didn't I?
I gave it to that guy over there.
I handed it to you myself.
God, give me patience.
The first question is for our doctor.
What does Nadia want to be when she grows up?
She'll be an ambassador or an animal rights activist.
Right!
Yeah.
What's the last thing Salim does before... Salim.
Excuse me.
What's the very last thing Salim does before bedtime?
What's the last thing you do?
Last thing, last thing.
He brushes his teeth.
Wrong.
What do you mean it's wrong, sweetie?
The last thing you do is that you brush your teeth before I come tuck you in and... Mommy, I always call Daddy to say goodnight.
That's the last thing I do before bedtime.
Oh.
This question is for Nadia.
What's your mother's favorite hobby?
Mommy has no hobbies.
It's just us and her work.
Right.
Well, we're in a father's camp after all.
I'm sure everyone else here has enough time to practice their hobbies.
OK, now.
What does your mother like the most about you, Salim?
Um, I don't know.
She never really told me before.
What do you mean, I never told you, sweetie?
You never did.
But I did.
OK.
Okay.
Good evening.
Hello.
Tamer Mansur.
Nisrin Montasir.
Hello.
Tamer Mansur.
Nisrin Montasir.
Nice to meet you.
So, how's it going?
Good.
Soha said that Ola couldn't make it due to an emergency.
Let's go then.
Okay, let's go.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Okay, all right.
We are Second Chance.
I'm sure you know that we are an organic cosmetics brand.
I'm Montaser Al Zayed.
I'm a partner and I'm in charge of the financials.
As you may have already figured, my francais is a bit more elevated, more advanced.
than my English is, with my Arabic kind of meeting them in the middle.
So in case you get confused, I mean, all languages complement each other, right?
Make sense?
Oui.
Yeah.
Now you, Marwan.
How many followers does Zayna have on Instagram?
Hey, that's a trick question.
How am I supposed to know that?
150?
No, daddy, that's wrong, of course. 782.
Now, what's Zayna's favorite television show?
I know this one.
Dora the Explorer?
That's wrong.
Stranger Things.
Wait, when did that change?
The next question's for Zayna.
What's the thing that your father enjoys doing the most?
It's work.
Of course not, Zayna.
Anyway, it's been a very long time since I've seen him actually happy.
Hey, one thought, sir.
Tell me.
Tell me quick.
Did the meeting go well?
Well, I don't know.
I think it was good.
I mean, it was fine.
What do you mean, you think?
I mean, did they seem pleased?
Were they disappointed?
Did they like the presentation?
Did they have any comments?
So the thing is, they weren't really pleased, and they weren't really disappointed.
They were kind of in the middle.
They listened to the presentation and asked for another meeting.
You're really unbelievable, doctor.
Come on.
You've got to be kidding!
you
Hey, you.
How'd it go with the investors?
Did the meeting go well?
Not really sure.
I have no idea.
But it seems that my whole life is all over the place these days.
Why would the meeting be any different?
Besides, I got bigger problems.
Okay.
But you know, I'm a good listener.
Try me.
I'm trying to write that letter we're supposed to read to our kids.
You were right.
It's definitely not an easy task.
All the time I'm trying to prove to everybody that I know what I'm doing, that I'm strong and in control, that I can juggle both my career and my personal life.
But when it comes to the kids, I wish I could tell the truth.
And admit I don't have all the answers.
That I don't know everything.
That I'm scared, I'm lost, that I'm tired.
It weighs on me.
But turns out when you're a parent, you can't have weaknesses.
You can't be afraid.
I'm sorry, forgive me.
I mean, I know that your problems are bigger than mine.
Well, it's not a competition, you know.
Besides, right now, I'm just listening.
I'm not looking for a solution.
But you want to know something?
You make me forget about my problems.
Every time I talk to you.
I mean, you're entertaining.
What do you mean?
I mean that I got used to living with death.
At work.
and in my life.
But you?
Your life, Ola.
Your life.
Zayna!
Stay here, I'll get her.
Zayna!
Zeyna!
Zeyna, wait!
Zeyna!
What do you think you're doing?
Have you lost your mind, sweetie?
We were actually talking about you.
Why does everyone think I'm dumb?
Even Dad thinks I'm dumb.
Who are you calling dumb?
I mean, don't you know you can outsmart anyone?
Then why does everyone I love end up leaving?
What's up?
Some drama?
And where have you been this whole time?
Well, tell her.
Yes, tell me.
Ah, you were with Yasin, the one who's made this camp our personal wonderland.
Don't grin like that.
I know I'm a cool mom, but don't think you can push it, Nadia.
There are limits in everything.
If your dad were here, he would freak out.
Is that how I taught you to behave?
Are you seriously mad?
Yes, I am.
We came here to have fun, and so that my dad could get to know your dad.
Instead, you're with Yasin, and my dad is with your mom.
I don't usually do this kind of thing.
I don't.
Am I too hard on you?
I am, aren't I?
That's because I want you to become a real man.
You are a man.
I guess I just wanted you to be like me.
I couldn't see you, Yasin.
I couldn't see that... I'm me, you're someone else.
And I have to love you, whether I like it or not.
Just the way you are.
I don't know if I... I'm being confusing, or if you'll understand.
I don't talk about my feelings.
But I want to tell you something I don't say enough to you.
I love you so much, Jesse.
I really do.
You big goof.
Muffin up, huh?
Some things never change.
Zayna, I know that you're mad at me.
I know that I seem very distant all the time.
And I know that sometimes you wish it was me who had died instead of your mom.
I know you don't understand how come I'm such a good doctor, yet I couldn't save her.
I know you're always running away from me because I've let you down.
I'm always running away from you, too.
Because I feel I have nothing good to give you.
But there's something that you don't know.
You think the person I miss the most right now is your mother, rest in peace.
You don't realize that the person I miss the most is you.
I've missed you, Zeyna.
You said something very true.
that I'm terrified of my mother.
I grew up with fear, you know?
That's why ever since you were born, I made a vow to myself never to make you fear me, never.
Maybe I did things that weren't quite right.
Sometimes I've shown you how vulnerable I am.
Sometimes I've complained.
Sometimes I've cried on your shoulder.
So when you grew up, I realized that I had raised a strong young woman.
Stronger than me.
But that made you think that you were the mother, and you felt responsible, and that's my fault.
Just because I don't want you to fear me doesn't mean that I can't be your mother, Nadia.
Just because sometimes I let you see my weaknesses doesn't mean that I'm weak.
No.
Or that I can't protect you.
No.
You're my little girl, and I can protect you.
Now you, my crazy boy.
So do you really think that I could possibly not know what I like most about you?
You're yawning, aren't you?
That's exactly it.
That's the thing I like the most about you.
You're not trying to please anyone.
You are who you are.
You don't want to be someone else.
No one can teach me how to be at peace with myself like you do, Salim.
You teach me not to take things so personally all the time.
Why, Salim?
You're wise, Limu.
Other people might not see that, but you're the one holding this family together.
even though you're the youngest one.
What?
Honestly, you're just not very good at hiding them.
It's not my fault.
Hello?
I'll come as fast as I can.
you
the the the the
Thank you.
