Ramy (2019–…): Season 3, Episode 3 - Episode #3.3 - full transcript

Aisle 13. Shaving.

Uh, black beans,
one pound, please.

- Here. Over there.
- Here?

Yeah.

And then, um, some sesame oil.

That brand. Yup.

And we need some paprika.

The aisle, uh, three?

One.

Farouk, I said one.

Khalas. What is this?



It's one of Obama's
favorite pieces.

You know, I downloaded
all his Spotify list.

Why?

- I wanna...
- know how the guy thinks.

These songs have meanings
and hidden messages.

The guy was the president
for eight years.

Nothing is an accident.

This song is called
"La Difícil,"

which means "the difficulty."

Yeah.

Obviously, it's about
the Spanish people

living in hard time here.

- But the key is in the lyrics.
- Mm.

What does it say?



"En el VIP, modelo como Ha did.

"Invicta como Khabib.

Más de ciene cabrone
que Ella deja en read."

Which means,
"You see her in the VIP,

like Ha did."
Hmm?

"Unbeaten like Khabib.

She leaves more than 100 guys
on read."

What's so funny?

Ha did and Khabib Nurmagomedov?

Dear Maysa, it's so clear.

Obama's telling
the Spanish people

that they have to become
more like Muslims

to be able to get through
the difficult times...

Ia difícil, hmm?

And it doesn't end here.

He says "read."

God commanded us to read.

Farouk, it's only a song, okay?

Probably his daughters pick up
his songs for his play list.

You're just saying that...

Or else why did he publish

his "favorite music" online,
hmm?

It's like the guy's serving
his third term on Spotify.

Okay, here we are.

You got it?

Yeah.

Instacart.

- You don't have to ring.
- I put contact less.

Sure, sister.

I hope you're having
a great day today.

I, uh...

I have a lot of frozen stuff
in here

and it really needs
to go to the freezer

as soon as possible.

- Yeah.
- You can just put it down.

I just want you to have
the optimum client experience.

Thanks.

You're welcome, sister.

The bags.

Okay.

You know...

this is my card.

I'm leaving it here.

In case you need anything else,
just call me.

I do consulting as well.

Any start-ups, business,
you know,

you name it, you got it.

Bye.

Five stars, plea...

Let's do some more delivery.

Are you eating on the Limoges?

You put this in the microwave?

Hmm?

It's not supposed
to be exposed to heat.

We're not supposed
to eat on them.

Then do the dishes, okay?

These are collectors.

Only for special occasions.

That's because nothing
special happens.

Okay? Yalla, let's go.

We're running out of time.

Alexa, what time is it?

I keep forgetting you sold her.

It was just sitting there
in the corner.

I liked her.

What do you want to know?

I'll be your Alexa.

You wanna know the time?

It is 1:37 p.m.

It is a high of 40, low of 22.

- I want you to get up.
- Let's go.

Can we talk before you go?

What about?

Mom, I wanna help
with the house payments,

and I'm trying to talk to Dad
and he's just not...

Maysa.

What?

- No. That's not what happened.
- What?

I'm trying to tell...

The fuck?

Israel gave you money?

No. It's not like that.

Mom, Dad's acting
like I went and did a deal

with Netanyahu or something.

Yes, I'm not working
with Uncle Na seem,

but that was for us.

You don't even know
how he runs the business.

It's insane.

And this woman
that I'm working with,

she's... she's a good person.

I was there. I saw her.

There was this kid,
this Palestinian kid,

he got arrested for no reason
and she helped him.

It's interfaith.

Inter-bullshit.

Let's Instacart.

The Cheerios.

No, not that one. The Cheerios.

The real one.

- But this is much cheaper.
- Look.

Stop making changes
in the order, please, okay?

Yesterday,
two orders didn't even tip.

Give me your phone.

I'm gonna text them and I'm sure

they're gonna choose
the cheaper...

- Don't text the customers.
- It annoys them.

Stop messing with my rate.

Okay?

Go get the drinks.

I'll meet you at the register.

- I'll give you the 300,000.
- He's cutting you by five.

Who would you go with, ammu?

Ya'ni, this is the most
important thing on Shark Tank.

- Hmm.
- Proprietary.

- I like Robert.
- The son of an immigrant.

White immigrant.
It's very rare.

And they blend in.

You know, I heard they're starting
an Egyptian version of Shark Tank.

No way.

Uh...

Yeah, he did, Auntie.

You really helped me fix it up.

Thank you so much, Uncle.

Every time I talk to you,
I get so motivated.

I wish my friends in Egypt
could hear you.

You'd be an amazing life coach.

- Life coach?
- Yeah.

It's huge in Cairo right now.

And especially coming from
someone like you

who's been so successful
in America.

Now you get to retire so early.

Retire?

Ahmed, why aren't you speaking?

- Why are you silent?
- Bro.

Something's bothering you,

let ammu give you some advice.

Let him life coach you.
Just jump in. Go.

Uh, you know,

one of my patients is very sick

and I'm spending a lot of time
with his young son.

And it's just reminding me how
I've always wanted my own kids.

Oh.

Yasmin a does not want
to have children?

She said she did
before we got married,

but things changed
after we got married.

That's normal
to change after marriage.

All you have to do

is be honest with your wife
about what you need.

Okay.

I'm going to bed.

There's tea bags in the kitchen.

Whoa.

No post-dinner tea.

Is everything okay
with you guys?

Yeah.

You know, guys...

- Mr. Wonderful is actually Lebanese.
- No way.

I love Lebanese people.

I think they are so great
in branding.

I mean, look at their country.

It could be a disaster,

and all that people talk about
is their women.

- So true.
- That is true.

Facts, man. Facts.

Told you. Life coach, bro.

- I'm seeing it.
- Yeah.

Farouk, please, stop that.

Stop.

It's against "instant cart."

- Hi.
- Hola, amigo.

- Thank you.
- Let's go.

I put the eggs on top,
and so everything is intact.

Please remember that
in your rating, eh?

Farouk?

Nabil.

My God, it's been years
since I've seen you.

Maysa?

Hi.

Wh...

What are you two doing here?

We just brought your...

Your... your...

Oh, this app is so easy.

Yes. Yes.

This is... this is so easy.

No.

W-Why don't you come in?

I'm sure Samia would love
to see you.

Samia! Come to the door!

No, we have to go.

We still have so much to do.

Come on in.
Have some tea.

Oh, that would be amazing.

Some tea.

It's been a long time.

Come. Come on in.

So actually,
I am researching this...

delivery grocery

for an advertising start-up
that I'm working on.

I am testing different means

of, uh,
unconventional advertising.

Me and Maysa are doing
field research.

Yeah, we are researchers.

- Ahh.
- Hmm.

- Very good.
- Advertising start-up.

W-What's your approach,
Captain Farouk?

It's always about
whether your idea

has proprietary to it or not,
so...

your idea has
no proprietary to it,

then who's going to invest,
right?

Right. Right.

I mean, how... how...

How do you wanna reach that,
exactly?

- I mean, what's your approach?
- No, no, no.

Nabil. You're retired.
Khalas.

He sold his company
a few month ago.

I finally get some of him
for myself.

No more business ideas.

I'm banned from thinking.

Marouk, Nabil.

How are you, Maysa?

It's been years.

And I heard Ramy's married now.

He was, but, um,

it didn't work out.

- Hmm.
- Hmm.

How are your kids?

Nour, she's mashallah
the youngest partner

in her accounting firm,

and she's engaged, alhamdulilah.

Ma shall ah.

Yasin, he's the head
of the ovarian, uh, cancer wing

in NYU Langone.

No, but maybe it's too late
in Cairo now.

Alexa, what time is it in Cairo?

The time is 10:47 p.m.
in Cairo.

Walla hi, she is so helpful.

I know.

Bathroom.

Uh-huh.
It's right over there.

Merde. Merde.

Farouk, let's go.

Are you wearing Roux?

What do you mean?

Your perfume. I recognize it.

I think I have the same one.

- Oh, really?
- Yeah, I...

Yeah, this one,
I had it for years.

It's Roux, right?

Um, different but similar.

Different similar.

I could swear it's the same one.

It is not!

Um, I...

I thought Maysa
was wearing Roux.

- Mm.
- It's my favorite.

And you know, I get very excited

if I meet someone else
wearing it.

It's Roux.

It's Roux, Maysa.

Uh, in the beginning,
I didn't smell it.

But now I'm sure it is Roux.

It is not Roux!

I... I don't know.

I, uh, thought we might
have the same perfume.

Hmm.

Maysa.

What's wrong with you?

Would you talk to me?

Enough talking.

You talked
with all of Cairo today.

I was just being social.

You know, Nabil could be
an historic investor.

Invest in what, exactly?

All you're doing
is fucking sitting at home

selling our things online!

Are you sharp enough
to get money in the bank?

You're talking about stickers.

Yes, they are fucking stickers.

I'm out.

Um, yeah, look,

I didn't understand
a lot of what was said,

but I think we can all agree
this is a bad plan.

I'm out.

No, Robert. No.

- I'm out.
- I'm out.

Look, Farouk,
I prefer to invest in people

I would wanna hang out with,
and I would never hang out

with someone with a 3.8 rating
on Instacart.

It's... it's... it's her account.

No, it's not.

Sir, I'm sharp.

I'm sharp.

Somebody made
a courageous decision.

You are in love
with the romantic idea

of starting a business.

But my money's
gotta go somewhere

in order to get back
an investment.

If I'm not passionate
or see the benefit...

Mo, these are
conflicting concepts.

Yeah, exactly, ammu.

You always see one or the other.

When I put 'em both up,
people stop.

They start arguing, debating,
work up an appetite,

and then they buy food.

I made the MAGA ones
a little bit bigger, though,

you know,
'cause they eat way more.

You have no idea.

- This is genius.
- Yeah.

You know, this is why I was
sure you're gonna love my idea.

You're selling stickers.

Adhesive advertisements...

I got it.
Adhesive advertisements.

Are not just stickers.

I'm not trying
to be disrespectful, ammu.

Of course. Not everything
is what it seems.

I mean, this is not
just a halal cart.

Right? I have my diner
across the street.

I mean, I know it looks empty,

but I'm doing that
for the pandemic.

All right? It's the best thing
that ever happened to me.

I turned it into
a cloud kitchen.

What's a cloud kitchen?

It's basically like six
restaurants in one kitchen.

Nobody knows 'cause nobody goes.

Everything is done on the app.

I got a Japanese grill.
I got a Korean barbecue.

I got a taco situation brewing.

You know, with all of these...

different restaurants
that you have,

I think you really need my idea.

Yeah, ammu, look.

It's family, business.

You know.

Very, very important to, like,
preserve relationships.

Let me pray on it first.

Let me see how I feel,
but genius.

Pray on it, pray on it.

But let me tell you that,
all right?

This idea is explosive.

Yeah?

I'm taking it
to Egyptian Shark Tank.

- Egyptian Shark Tank?
- Is that a thing?

'Cause I don't think
it's a thing.

- Sounds like a scam...
- Frank?

Oh, you want a hot dog?

Connie, I'm Frank.

- Oh.
- Um...

- Hi, Frank.
- Excuse us, Mo.

Over there.
Let's go over there.

All right.

Please have a seat here.

I'll be right back.

Here we are.

Oh, wow.

These are really rare plates.

Real francais stuff.

I have never seen
a set like these together.

With the family emblem.

It's whole set of them.

I... I have other buyers.

I'm sure you know how
Facebook Marketplace can be.

Competitive.

Venmo or cash?

Um, we're right by an ATM.

Lasagna béchamel.

And there's some bamya
in the oven.

No.

I thought we would have
a nice dinner...

Just the two of us.

And some...

Mmm.

It's been a while.
You haven't cooked like that.

You know...

yesterday, it was, um...

It was a long day,
and I maybe said things

I didn't need to say.

The mortgage
with property tax...

for two months.

Where did you get that from?

I, um...

Farouk...

did you sell the Limoges?

Mm, not all of it.

Okay?

A real Muslim man would never
sell his wife's things!

It's haram
to touch your wife's money!

I will not be disrespected
in my own house.

They fucking colonized us!

It's disgusting that
they colonized your mind too!

They could have
colonized anywhere.

But they chose us.

And I chose back, okay?

I don't know why you're
so fucking obsessed with Cairo!

You are clueless.

You know, Thomas Piketty,

one of the biggest economists
in the world,

has been saying that Egypt

is on the path
to become just like America.

Why the fuck do you want
Egypt to become like America?

Why... stop.

Stop, okay?

All day,
it's this person's theory,

that person's principles.

What are you doing?

You're wearing a suit
to go and deliver groceries!

What kind of consultation
people would want

from a guy that just delivered
their grocery?

Aren't you fucking embarrassed?

You deliver groceries too.

I had no choice.

- Guys, what the hell?
- I have an exam.

Fuck your exam, Dina.

- You did not do your job.
- Okay?

Look at your son, hmm?

He divorced
the night of his wedding.

And your daughter,
still unmarried until now.

Look at her.

She's dying.

Okay.

All you've done
is waste our money

on fucking investments

like that project of yours
in Sahel!

I told you, Farouk,

don't give $100,000
to a random guy in Egypt!

But no, I found myself a job,

something for myself to do,

and now you do it with me!

Maysa.

The economy will bounce back.

Here and in Egypt.

Farouk,
did you sell the key bowl?

I bought it
for five Egyptian pounds, okay?

I put it online and said,
"Egyptian design."

Bang, sold for $75.

It's a good fucking deal!

That's business!
