2nd man:Hey, don't yell, please. You'll only make it worse. Thanks goes him. Let me speak to the gentleman
Thank you
Could you please tell me?
Just because I speak English
doesn't mean I'm gonna be nice to you
2nd man:Ok
2nd man:So as my friend was asking. Where did you get your training and what is your plan?
Plan?
What plan? what are you talking about?
Just come clean!
I come clean! You come clean!
You guys walk into my apartment! You come clean.
Let's go step by step
Huh?
Where were you?
Earlier today?
DC. I was I was I was driving back from DC all day DC.
What did you go to DC for?
Just to visit!
Monuments, museums, that's what people go to DC for.
So a reconnaissance trip, then what?
What?
Identifying targets for your-
NO NO NO NO!
What are you talking about? Are you crazy?
We ask the questions.
You just keep the answers coming. So as I was saying.
What is the next phase of your plan?
You let us in on it we may go easy on you
Guys, guys, guys... You have it all wrong.
I have no idea what he's talking about and on top of that, he keeps hitting me.
I can't control him. You do.
You answer our questions, he won't have to hit you.
Do you?
Okay. Okay.
So.
Are you part of a group or you a lone wolf?
For the love of God.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I am NOT a terrorist. I need a lawyer. Our sources tell us otherwise.
Sources?! You have sources?!
Dedicated to me?!
They must be making stuff up, you know cuz I am as nice and as boring as they come.
We've been informed that you terrorized some Americans at a convenience store earlier tonight.
What?
Which is pretty fascinating stuff in my world.
No? Quite the exact opposite of boring if you will.
Is that what this is all about?
That- That's what this is all about?
You know what?
I- I am done with this crap. This is bullshit. I didn't do anything wrong.
Call the cops. I will tell them everything, I did not do anything wrong.
We'll be the judge of that.
You?
Who are you? The Godfather?
Captain America and- and Aladdin over here?
Wait. Are you guys cops?
I'm Captain America, and this is my friend Aladdin.
Now we have reason to believe you're a threat to this nation and its people.
We have witnesses, to testify.
You terrorized.
No, no, sir, no no. This- this is absurd. You know, this is absurd. I was the one who was terrorized.
I had to act quickly and I just did the very first thing that came to my mind
Go on.
Okay, this is what happened, right? I was driving back home.
I got thirsty so I decided to stop at a convenience store
It was dark in the parking lot and I'd hardly pulled my car when this other car pulls up and out come these three guys,
and they start yelling at me from all sides.
Yo, get the f*ck out of the car you f*cking p*ssy.
What the f*ck are you doing?!
Get the f*ck over here.
Who the f*ck do you think you are cutting me off?
I had no idea what they were talking about. I don't know how to respond but but they were really mad.
They were really, really mad.
I don't know if they were just, you know, drunk, or if they were high or they were just boys being boys.
But- but they were really mad, but they had it all wrong.
They were clearly mistaking me to be someone else and I was scared.
I was really, really scared.
But you know what I decided to get out of my car and try to calm them down. And that's when I noticed.
Once they saw me,
they hesitated a little.
And I started wondering like you know would they had the balls to attack me like that if I were a little bit more menacing,
a little bit more intimidating than I actually am and that's when I started talking to them even without thinking. Words, accents, everything.
Don't even think about it you f*cking punk!
You don't want to mess with me! You have no idea what people like me can do!
Do you watch the news?
we can cause a lot of damage!
A lot!
Get back in the f*cking car and get the f*ck out of here!
Come on. Let's get the f*ck out of here.
Yo, get- get the f*ck in the car.
Shut the f*ck up!
Petty *ss boy.
F*cking hate you, f*ck you!
You get the f*ck out of here!
Wow.
You tell a nice story.
So,
You are a pretend terrorist.
No, no, no, no! For the last time, no! I am NOT a terrorist!
I'm a regular guy who was caught in a bad situation.
Well technically, you're still in a bad situation.
Worse, if you ask me.
Look. If you guys are cops, and if you haven't done already, go ahead and run my background check.
Look, I'm not even from that part of the world! Come on, believe me!
So why did you use that accent?
What? scare the boys why did you choose to be from that part of the world
Scaring the boys, why did you choose to be from that part of the world?
I just did the first thing that came to my mind.
And why is that?
I had to be convincing.
I don't get it.
Look, like I said.
Once they saw me, they hesitated a little.
Okay, so clearly they had made some assumptions. And at that point, I had to follow through with something convincing.
I couldn't just open my mouth and sound like I was gonna offer to fix their computers.
So,
Told yourself I'll be Arab?
Because all Arabs are terrorists,
violent and scary, right?
No, no, no, no, please, no. Definitely not.
I f*cking hate people like you.
Please. I am NOT. I am NOT a racist. Look at me.
Look at me. I'm- I'm on the receiving end myself.
I go to crowded places and people look at me funny.
I get randomly selected at airports for- for- for- for- for security checks. Special security checks.
I can't even tell you how many times I get terrorist jokes from my friends and co-workers. And for once you know for,
for ONCE I used my appearance to my advantage
to get out of a sticky situation.
I am really,
really, sorry if what I did hurt your feelings.
I can only imagine what it is to be like-
No! You CAN'T imagine.
Just shut the f*ck up.
If you ever try to pull this off again, I will personally shoot you. Do you understand?
Okay.
It's okay.
Okay, think I'm not sure if we're done.
You okay?
Yup.
He called you Aladdin.
Of course he did.
You're Captain America in my book.
Fuck you.
