01:57The professor.

01:59Welcome to my house.

02:02I thought you'd be a little older since you're a professor.

02:06But I know you are interested in our culture.

02:09Today you're going to see how generous we are.

02:11What are you going to tell him?

02:13He talks Arabic, huh?

02:14Yes, dad.

02:15I want to talk to you about something.

02:17See, I'm not like any other man.

02:19I'm very open-minded.

02:21But I need you to move over there.

02:27Not here, over there.

02:29Help him, Jamal.

02:35This is Jamal, Mariam's husband.

02:39Husband?

02:40Well, not really.

02:42Dad, I want to talk to you about something important.

02:44Listen, what's up with the Filipino?

02:47Mom, he's Korean.

02:49Today is a very special day.

02:51After four years, my daughter comes from Stanford with a high degree.

02:57Today we can make the wedding we are waiting for.

03:00Right, Jamal?

03:01Yes, that's right.

03:02Mashallah, mashallah.

03:04So, Martin, tell me.

03:06Are you a fan of K-pop?

03:08No.

03:09But I mean you're Korean.

03:10I mean it's a cultural milestone.

03:12How can you not listen to it?

03:34Martin, did you see my bag?

04:00Did you see my bag?

04:03No, you don't.

04:07You don't know this song?

04:09My daughter loves Chinese songs.

04:13Korean.

04:26See, Dr. Martin, you have a good country.

04:30Everything is available.

04:32It's safe.

04:33Everything is good.

04:44Dr. Martin, do you believe in hazard?

04:47Evil eyes.

04:49You see, I'm the best butcher in this area.

04:52Today, we butcher this goat for the sake of Maryam to protect her from evil eyes.

04:59Today, you're going to taste the best meat you've ever eaten in your life.

05:02Dad, we don't have to.

05:04Why aren't you eating?

05:06We didn't poison the food.

05:08Go ahead.

05:09Eat.

05:10Uncle, there's something wrong with Maryam.

05:12Honestly, dad, the food is very good.

05:16Bon appetit, daughter.

05:18You're welcome.

05:26Aren't you going to wake us up?

05:28Tell me.

05:29Are you sick?

05:31Where are you sick?

05:34I mean, I mean, drink some water.

05:38Take a nap.

05:46Martin.

05:47Martin.

05:57No, you don't.

05:59You don't know that song either?

06:03Oh my God.

06:04I love him.

06:11No.

06:26I like him.

06:27Can we keep him?

06:50I like him.

06:51Can we keep him?

06:57I am vegan.

07:09I submitted a dance video to BTS and they want to fly me to Korea.

07:26Jamal does all the chores.

07:28Gets the slaughter.

07:29Gets married.

07:30Gets halal food.

07:31These are the principles.

07:33Dad, what about me?

07:34What about my life?

07:40Is this the secret you've been hiding from us?

07:51What are you doing?

07:53My daughter doesn't want to eat grass and herbs.

07:56My daughter has to eat meat.

08:00Can't you hear me?

08:02You're so annoying, my daughter.

08:05I told you, my daughter has to eat meat.

08:08Don't do this to me.

08:10Aren't you supposed to be open-minded?

08:14And you're not going to stop her from making any decisions in her life?

08:18Isn't that what you're supposed to do?

08:19Fine.

08:20All of you.

08:22All of you sitting at this table.

08:23No one is allowed to get up until we finish this.

08:28What's wrong with you?

08:30What's wrong with you?

08:34Where's the water?

08:38No, no, no.

08:40Get in the car.

08:41Get out.

08:42I said get out.

08:43Throw her in the baby's tummy.

08:46Go, go, go.

08:48Go, go, go.

08:51Get out.

08:57In the name of God.

09:00Where's the baby?

09:01In the name of God.

09:02Where's the baby?

09:05Get out.

09:14It's not cold, right?

09:16It's not cold.

09:18You eat meat, so you eat meat.

09:29Congratulations Hassan, congratulations.

09:48You eat meat, so you eat meat.

10:18You eat meat, so you eat meat.

10:48You eat meat, so you eat meat.
