02x04 - A Blast from the Past

Post by bunniefuu »

[alarms blaring]

[girls shouting indistinctly]

[girl] Get off me!

[Tasneem] Who do you think you are?

[tense music fading in]

-[music stops]
-[klaxon sounds]

This is not a school for girls.

It's some kind of circus.

I tried to give you girls
a sense of responsibility

and a space to express yourselves freely.

But Ms. Abeer was right...

[tense pulsating music fading in]

You girls aren't ready.
I thought you were smarter than this.

As of now,
the school elections will be cancelled.

[girl sighs loudly, groans]

And the school trip...
will be cancelled also.

-[overlapping chatter]
-Really? Ugh!

Silence!

[chatter stops]

The girls who were in the video,

go dry yourselves off
and come to my office.

Get to class, the rest of you.

[Ms. Abeer] Now! All of you! Move it!

It's your fault. It's because of you
that our school trip has been cancelled.

[girl] All 'cause of you!
Nice one! Thanks for nothing!

[overlapping chatter]

-I'm disappointed in you all.
-[music ends]

You had the chance
to make really important changes.

For yourselves. Also, for the school.

And you decide to do this?

But, miss, we didn't think...

As of now, you girls are suspended
from school for three days.

And it will be noted
on your permanent record.

[suspenseful music fading in]

It's going on our records. I'm finished!
How will any university accept me?

Not now, Tasneem.

I'm so fed up of you whining all the time.

Put a sock in it.

Hiba... Hiba, you don't care
about your future,

I get it, fine by me!
But I care about mine.

[scoffs] Of course! 'Cause you're the only
one who wants to go to university, yeah?

Yeah! Because I'm the only one who has
to deal here with a bossy mum. Not you!

[music abruptly fades out]

[Hiba sniffs]

Uh... I didn't mean to say that.

You're so ungrateful.

We just risked everything
for your election.

And what do we get for all our trouble?

The whole school laughing.

And we were humiliated
by a bunch of nobodies.

I don't care about them, Hiba.
They don't matter.

We have a bigger problem right now.

There is someone who wanted
to take us down with that video.

[tense music playing]

Who do you think it was, though?

[music fades out]

-[distant chatter]
-[ethereal music fading in]

[cameras clicking]

[music becomes uplifting]

[reporter 1] Joud, smile!

[reporter 2] One question, please.
Got a minute?

[reporter 3] Show me a pose.
Show me a pose. Show me a pose!

[reporter 4] Right there,
that's perfect. Thank you!

Oh my God.
We have to line up for the red carpet.

Yeah.

Uh, yeah.

[reporter 3] Show me a pose.
Good. Show me a pose!

-Show me a pose!
-[reporter 2] And to the side.

-[reporter 4] This way! This way!
-Are you Sarah from TikTok?

Yeah. I'm Sarah.

-Can I just say... your dress is so pretty!
-Thank you! [chuckles]

[girl gasps]

-Cute!
-[reporter 2] One with hands on the side.

So you bought it after all.
I thought you didn't like it.

Had a change of heart.

[reporter 2] One last question, please.
Tell us who you're wearing.

-[reporter 3] Yeah.
-[reporter 2] Over here, look.

This way, this way.
Gorgeous. Beautiful. This way!

-Lovely! This way. Yeah, right here.
-[reporter 3] Hold the pose.

[reporter 4] Just hold it there, ladies.
One more, thank you.

-[reporter 5] Look this way.
-[reporter 4] That's good.

[reporter 2] Beautiful.

-[reporter 3] Pose for us now.
-[reporter 2] This way, girls.

-Fantastic.
-[reporter 5] Then to the left. Great.

-[reporter 2] This way.
-[reporter 5] Karen! Here she is!

[reporter 2] Karen! Karen!
This way, Karen!

[cheering, applause]

-[woman] I love you so much, Karen!
-I love you too!

[reporter 2] Please, please...
Karen, can we just have one word with you?

Karen, we just wanna know
how... do... you do it? That's it.

I am truly happy to be here with you
and looking forward to meeting everyone

and taking photos together.
I love you all very much.

-[reporter 4] Thank you, Karen.
-Thank you.

-[reporter 5] Enjoy the evening!
-Thank you.

-[woman] We love you, Karen.
-[Karen] Thank you.

-Thank you.
-[woman] I love you so much! Bye!

[music stops]

[Karen] And so, in conclusion,

bear in mind that the role
of an influencer in social media

is not just about the photos and stories
or the gifts and advertising,

it's an opportunity
to make a meaningful contribution,

to communicate with people,

to influence them,
and change things for the better,

no matter how small the gesture.
Thank you so much.

[audience cheers, whistles]

[Tasneem] We should get a photo with her.

[Sarah] Yeah, but I'm so nervous.
I don't know.

Relax.

[exhales] She's coming our way now.

-[woman] Thank you.
-Thanks.

-Um... Karen. I'm such a big fan!
-[Karen] Hi.

I want to be like you
and release my own brands.

You're really my idol.

-Thank you so much.
-[Sarah] Yes!

-I wonder if we could take a selfie?
-Course!

[Tasneem chuckles]

[camera clicking]

-Ah, that's so nice. Thanks.
-Thank you.

Would you like a picture as well?

Uh, yes... uh... if that's all right?

-An honour!
-I can take it for you on my phone.

Yes.

-[Tasneem] That's so pretty!
-Thank you!

Thank you so much.

-[Tasneem] Thank you! Thanks a lot.
-Bye, thank you.

Thank you, bye!

-[gasps] Oh, amazing.
-[Karen] Thank you.

-She's so great, isn't she?
-Show me how they came out.

So lovely.

[melancholy piano music playing]

[music intensifies]

YOU LOOK AMAZING

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS

-Hi!
-Hi, Sarah.

So how did it go, then?

[inhales]

[Mum] I hope you didn't
remove your jacket, Sarah!

Stop it, Mum. Is that all you care about?

[Mum] Yes, it is, Sarah.

Your dad, he still doesn't know
you're suspended from school.

I let you go to that event,
but that's a one-off.

And I don't need your dad
moaning at me again.

[Sarah sighs]

He's looking for an excuse to argue
with me. So don't give him a reason.

[phone beeps]

[gasps] Oh my God!

We're on Celebrity Now!
Turn the TV on, quick!

What? Really?

-[music plays on TV]
-Young people today want to become famous.

-That's the event we were at!
-They're doing it themselves,

through social media.

Here I am! There!

Oh wow! Look at this big event
where my beautiful daughter was invited!

I told you this would happen, didn't I?

I can't wait for my friends
to watch this video!

[Karen] To me, when fame is the goal,

you end up creating
things for the wrong reason
,

and you lose your purpose.

So they should never
lose sight of their goals.


YOU'RE SO AMAZING AND HOT!

[whimsical music playing]

[clicks tongue, sighs]

[music fades out]

Sarah's uploaded a story
in her school uniform this morning.

So that means
they'll be coming back today.

[girl] Let's go! They're all inside!

["Hetta Tanya" by Ruby playing]

One, two, three, four...

Then the other side. One...

Isn't that the same girl
who was screaming at them just last week?

-Don't lift your arms at the end, okay?
-[Nadine] Now she's dancing with them.

Okay. We're ready. Just say "action."

-[music stops]
-[girl] Three, two, one, and action.

["Hetta Tanya" restarts]

[music stops]

[Sarah] Well done, girls. Well done!

-Best video ever.
-I have to post it!

["Hetta Tanya" playing through phone]

-It looks really good, girls!
-[music stops]

[girls whooping]

-[Farah] Well done, Tasneem!
-Make sure you tag us.

-Amazing!
-[Tasneem] Bye!

-Thank you so much.
-Of course. Bye!

Okay. It's just like I said.

Now no one cares anymore
about that trip that they can't go on.

-Fine.
-[slow piano music playing]

[Tasneem] Okay. I'll send you the video,
and we'll both post it.


-Actually, yes, I did my hair especially.
-Did you?


[girl 1] Yeah, yeah, amazing.
Maybe we can do another one next week.


-[girl 2] That was fun.
-[girl 3] Go ahead. I'll be there.

[girl 1] Okay, okay. Bye!

WOW, YOU'RE SO HOT

HOT... HOT... HOT

SO SEXY... HOT

I loved all your photos
from the event last night.

Thank you!

What's she like, Karen Wazen?

[Sarah] Uh, nice.

Yeah, she's cool.

[sighs softly] I would have died
of excitement if I'd met her.

What about... you and I,

we could do a TikTok dance,
just the two of us together?

[Sarah chuckles softly]

[chuckles softly]

Okay, I'd better get off to class, then.

Bye.

Uh, bye! [chuckles]

[blows]

I tell you, Hiba,
you should've come with us to that event.

It was outstanding.

I agree with you.

I should've been there.

[school bell rings]

[muffled sound of teacher talking]

[keys tapping]

SO, WHAT DO YOU SAY?

[keys tapping]

[school bell rings]

Come on, this way!

-Can you tell me what you're doing?
-It's a surprise. [chuckles]

-Come on, hurry!
-What's up with you? Are you crazy?

We have biology class in there!

-Don't worry, I've got it covered!
-What do you mean don't worry?

I just got back from suspension.
I'm not skipping class, Sarah.

sh*t!

Someone's seen us. We're in for it!

[tense music fades in]

Fine. I'll go, then. Do what you want.

-Oh God, Sarah!
-[laughing]

Come on!

-[Tasneem] Ah, sh*t!
-Quick! Come on!

[Tasneem scoffs]
Sarah, I'm going to k*ll you!

-[Sarah laughs]
-[Tasneem groaning] Agh!

Ouch! There's thorns! [groans]

[Sarah chuckling]

[music fades out]

What's got into her?

It's like she's doing everything she can
to ruin her reputation.

And luckily for us two,

I recorded everything on my camera.

Shams, there's no way
we can show anyone that.

Yes, we can.

It's a documentary.

And what do two stupid girls
have to do with our documentary?

No, but you can't leave it out. We have to
include everything in this film.

Come on. Tell me, then...

You're saying Sarah would've done this
if she wasn't famous?

[tense music playing]

No, she wouldn't.

BIOLOGY
GRADE 11

[Ms. Abeer] Today, we'll review
everything we've studied so far.

Today, who's missing?

Ah.

Tasneem and Sarah, miss.

They have a meeting with sponsors
for our end-of-term project.

-[scribbling stops]
-It will be a performance.

They have permission to skip this class.

That's strange. I don't remember
receiving any note about their absence.

Miss, if you like,
I can go and get a note from Ms. Farida?

-[Ms. Abeer] No, that won't be necessary.
-Okay.

I don't want you to miss
anything important from our revision.

Just tell them to come
to my office tomorrow.

-[Farah] Okay, miss.
-[Ms. Abeer] Mmm...

Open your books. Let's start the revision.

["Wainek Min Zaman"
by Yazan Haiwafi fading in]

-[Sarah] Ta-da!
-[horn beeps]

Really, Sarah? Couldn't we have just
made plans after school

like normal people?

[Ali] There!

-We could. But where's the fun in that?
-Let's go, guys. Come on.

-[Sarah] Hello! [chuckles]
-[Tasneem] Hi!

[music intensifies]

This is the story of every stranger

Whether their love is far or near

The story of each and every one of us

And those we have connection with

Where were you all this time?

[ringing stops]

I've looked everywhere for you
I couldn't find you anywhere


I wish I'd known you earlier
I would've given you my heart and my all


My all!

Maybe we crossed paths
We were total strangers


[vocalising]

Where have you been all this time?

My heart's asking
"Where have you been?"


Where have you been all this time?

[music fading out]

[indistinct dialogue]

You seem... different somehow.

It's like

when I saw you the first time...

[chuckles]

...I remember that you had a crush on me.

-Now you're the one who has a crush on me.
-Well, yeah.

[Sarah chuckles]

So I was thinking of throwing
a huge party this weekend.

-You know, for my birthday?
-[phone beeps]

[Ali] Oh yeah?

-Where you gonna have it?
-[Omar] My place.

MODADDY REPLIED
WOW, HOT

-[Tasneem] Sounds great.
-[Ali] I'll be there.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD SEND ME A SPECIAL VIDEO
OF YOU WEARING THAT UNIFORM

Sarah, what is it? Is everything okay?

-Was it something I said?
-Of course it wasn't.

It's just I have weird fans.

-Ah, okay.
-It's not important.

-Cool. So tell me, then. Who's invited?
-[sound becomes muffled]

[Omar] Uh, our teammates,
Tasneem's friends from AlRawabi,

the football team, and our friends.

[Tasneem] And we can do,
like, um... uh, a theme party!

-What do you think?
-[Ali] Yeah!

[Omar] Yeah, I'm not really into
that kind of thing.

I just want something cool.

[Tasneem] Yeah? Okay.

[overlapping chatter]

I finished my essay,
and then I gave it to her. She read it.

And guess what she said?
"It's not good enough."

There were sparks between you two.

-Honestly, he fascinated me!
-I couldn't believe it!

-We have the same taste.
-I was so surprised.

[Luma] Were you invited to Omar's party?

I haven't talked to Tasneem yet to ask
about it, but I'm invited, of course I am.

[Tasneem] I kept laughing at
what he said. I couldn't.

He is so funny.

-Tasneem.
-Hi.

I heard about Omar's party.
How exciting! [giggles]

So can I come?

-[high-pitched] Please!
-Uh, the party is invitation only.

[sighs] All right!
I'll try and get you an invitation.

Yes! Thank you!

[rock music playing]

-Gather round, girls! Come on!
-[whistle toots]

-So this is how it's gonna be from now on?
-What? What do you mean?

You ditched me yesterday.
I called you, like, five times.

I was getting sponsors
for our performance.

Tasneem, here!

-[music stops]
-[whistle blowing]

-[Hiba snorts]
-What do you think you're doing?

If you can't handle it,
don't play the game.

-[whistle blows]
-Girls, five-minute water break.

-Sarah, are you okay?
-Mm-hmm.

Take a little break. Hiba, you stay here.

Why did you do that?

I was just trying
to get the ball, Coach Firas.

Keep whatever personal issues
you have off the field, please.

Yes, sir.

[ball thuds, wood rattles]

[menacing music playing]

[indistinguishable chatter]

[phone buzzes]

DO I HAVE TO BEG?

SEND ME A VIDEO IN YOUR UNIFORM...
BUT UNDO THE BUTTONS

[overlapping chatter]

Yeah, sure! I'm sure you can.
Just let me see...

[chatter continues]

What are you doing bringing a camera
into the changing rooms?

None of your business.

Have you been filming all of us,
you little pervert?

Have you been secretly taking our photos
without anyone knowing about it?

-What are you doing? Give it here!
-Hey! Hey! She asked you a question.

-What you doing with this?
-What's she got on here?

What were you filming with it?

I swear if I find out

that you had anything to do
with our suspension, you are dead!

Hey! Hey! What you doin'?!

-Uh! Oi, she's the one in the wrong!
-[tense music playing]

Back off, will you, Hiba?

[Hiba] Oh no, don't say that!

I'm so scared, Nadeen. [scoffs]

[scoffs] So the two of you
are besties now?

Actually, you two are a good match.

-Two peas in a pod, yah?
-[girls chuckling]

Hiba, leave it out.

"Hiba, leave it out."

You had better
keep that thing out of my face.

Understood?

-[Nadeen grunts]
-[Hiba scoffs]

[Hiba] What losers.

-They're so sad.
-Are you okay?

[Hiba] I think I'm getting a rash
just from being near them.

-[Rand chuckles] You're awful.
-[phone buzzes]

-Let's get out of here.
-[Tasneem laughs] Okay.

Sarah, are you coming?

Oh.

-Yeah, yeah. I'm coming.
-Let's go.

[door opens]

UNKOWN NUMBER
WHY DID YOU BLOCK ME?

[door creaks, shuts]

HOW DID YOU GET MY NUMBER?

DO YOU THINK YOU CAN USE ME
AND TAKE MY MONEY THEN LEAVE ME HANGING?

STOP TEXTING ME!
THAT WAS A ONE-TIME THING

CUT IT OUT

IF YOU DON'T SEND ME THE VIDEO...

I HAVE YOUR MOTHER'S NUMBER
AND YOUR HOME ADDRESS

MAYBE I'LL GIVE HER A CALL INSTEAD

SEND IT NOW OR...

[music gradually intensifies]

[music abates]

[lock clanks]

[music fades out]

[breathing shakily]

[wimpers]

["Emchi Ala Rimchi"
by Maryam Saleh & Zid Hamdan fading in]

[softly] Okay. Okay.

[music becomes chaotic]

[music fades out]

Shams? Do you still want me
to come over later to work on the film?

Let's do something different, you know?

Something fun.

[upbeat music playing]

[whoops]

[yelps]

[both whooping]

["Neheb N3ch Hayati" by Medusa playing]

What's this place?
It's like a whole different world.

[Shams] Come on, let's have a go.

[Nadeen] Shams!

-Wow!
-Hi, guys.

-[man 1] Hey there!
-Hi, Shams. Who's your friend here?

This is Nadeen.

And she said that
she's dying to try out skateboarding.

-Right?
-I did not say that.

-[man 2] Oh, go on.
-[Nadeen] Okay.

-[man 2] Put your feet here...
-Okay.

-[man 2] Ah!
-[Nadeen laughs]

He-he-he!

-Whoa!
-Agh!

-Just me, okay?
-[man 2] Yeah. Go for it.

[Nadeen] How do I move?

-You're doing it!
-[Nadeen chuckles]

-[man 2] Yeah, you're doing it.
-[music fading out]

Such an idiot! [laughs]

[chuckles softly] Omar's having a party
on his birthday. And I'm invited as well.

Oh.

That's interesting... He didn't invite me.

Shams.

Don't be such a drama queen, come on.
You live here.

So you're going to be here, you know that.

Anyway, I'll leave you
to whatever you're doing.

-I'll see you at the party.
-See you.

[poignant music playing]

[Nadeen laughs]

Your brother's such an anorak. [chuckles]

-Is that the book you mentioned?
-Oh, yeah, it is.

[indistinct chatter]

[music fades out]

[Rand rapping]
You want us to do as you say

But you're not prepared
To change your ways


[Tasneem] ♪ Out with the old
In with the new


Na, na, na

All I want to do is to live my life

It's not my dream
To be a perfect housewife


I don't want your meatballs
I prefer a sushi platter


Uh, yeah,
'cause you're such a fan of sushi.

Perhaps you should order a plain pizza?

Right, girls?

[laughter continues]

Listen, Hiba.

-Hmm?
-We don't have time for your jokes.

It's rehearsal time.

If you're not up to doing rehearsals,
then maybe you should leave.

[scoffs, inhales sharply] Really?
You'd like me to leave?

[scoffs] Excuse me, but who
do you think you are exactly? [chuckles]

Hiba, I've had it
with your attitude lately.

-Hmm?
-I agree with Sarah.

If you want to rehearse,
then let's do that.

-If you don't, then the door's over there.
-Ah, so that's what you think of me.

[tense music playing]

I'm glad that you let it all out.

I'm taking a break. [sighs]

[door opens]

[Sumayya] We need to talk.

-We've got a problem.
-[Shams] What is it?

[Sumayya] We're about to get
in big trouble.

Ms. Farida is opening an investigation

and questioning everyone
who works at the school.

It'll be my turn next.

I'll get interrogated.

What do you mean?

I mean all the surveillance there.
They know that they were planted by us.

Did you plant those cameras?

This is a disaster. Can't you see?

I'm going to lose my job!

Sumayya, it's okay.
You don't need to worry.

Nadeen, you just don't get it.

No. I think I understand.

There's nothing to say.

Where you going?

Nadeen!

Nadeen!

[music fades out]

["Ma Rida" by YAS playing]

[phone beeps]

Seriously?

Shams?

[music continues quietly]

[door opens]

Shams, listen...

No, Nadeen. You listen to me.

I didn't do anything wrong.

Shams! Listen, you had surveillance
cameras installed all over the place.

These girls are so egotistical
and self-absorbed.

They don't care about anyone.

To be honest with you,

I'm doing the same as well.

And, Nadeen, why do you even care?

Those girls were only there
to try and screw you over.

I'll give it to you.

You're right there.

Why am I looking out for people
who couldn't care less about me at all?

Shams, come on. What if the school
finds out what you did?

Well, I'm willing to accept
the consequences of what I've done.

If you're sure.

[music intensifies]

[camera clicks]

[music intensifies]

-[camera clicks]
-That looks so cool.

-Omar looks good there.
-I like that one.

[overlapping chatter]

Wow! Your brother really knows
how to throw a great party.

He loves the show.

He's so pretentious with stuff like this.

[music fades out]

["Fuqaati" by Ruba Shamshoum playing]

[plastic rattling softly]

Okay.

HI, TASNEEM
DID YOU GET ME THE INVITE?

CAN YOU SEND ME THE LOCATION?

[tuts, blows]

[music fades out]

[tuts]

["Happy Birthday" by Montlery playing]

[phone beeps]

HI, TASNEEM
DID YOU GET ME THE INVITE?

CAN YOU SEND ME THE LOCATION?

[camera clicks]

Who invited that piece of rubbish
to his party?

Want us to put on Umm Kulthum?

-I'll push you in the pool!
-[Hiba] Guess they're friends now.

I suppose she's friends
with his weirdo sister.

She hangs around his home
like a bad smell.

[scoffs]

[sighs] I really don't like
this new "bond" they have.

Well, there's lots of new "bonds"
that I'm not so keen on either.

Just so you're aware.

Seriously, Hiba?

-[camera clicks]
-What's your problem with Sarah?

You're becoming so needy.
It's not a good look.

Needy?

Wow!

The blows keep on coming.

You've been so weird lately.

[Tasneem sighs]

Hi, ladies.

Hi!

Sarah, you look lovely.

[Sarah giggles]

[Hiba] Yuck, Ali.

Cringe.

Mmm, cringe. Let's go.

-[Sarah] Oh! [chuckles]
-[Ali laughs] See you, guys.

-[Nadeen laughs] Of course not, Omar.
-Um... okay, I'll be right back.

-Okay.
-Titi! You look beautiful!

You're gorgeous, as always.

Happy birthday, Omar.
This is a great party.

-You like it?
-It's so cool.

[Omar and Hiba chuckle]

So where have you been lately?
I haven't seen you around.

Yeah, I haven't too.

I was thinking the same thing, yeah!

Anyways...

Bye.

Is she okay?

You know Hiba.
She'll only be happy when she's dead.

[tuts] And so,
what's she been invited to the party for?

I mean, you two are close friends now?

Titi, we've talked about that.
She's friends with my sister.

That's my point.
She's your sister's friend.

Not yours, right?

[Omar tuts]

[sighs]

[track ends]

[electronic dance music playing]

Look at those two. You'd think
they were dating, the way they are.

Hi.

Bye.

[crowd cheering]

[girl] It's a nice party.

[track ends]

[ambient music playing]

Hi.

[Omar] So... what do you think?

I wouldn't have expected anything less.

Why do I feel like
you're always insulting me?

[both chuckle]

[Omar] Are you having fun?

[Nadeen] It's your birthday, so...

[Omar] Like I said,
we'll go for a swim later.

Fine.

-You in?
-Deal.

Big deal.

Get lost!

Do they not feed you at home?

You know what, Shams? It's a good thing
that Omar's your brother.

Otherwise, there's no way that you
would be anywhere near this crowd.

And it's a good thing that you're okay
with Omar disrespecting you, then.

Otherwise... I don't think he'd be flirting
with another girl... [chuckles]

-...right in front of you.
-Nah!

-That's not what I...
-[Shams] Huh? Do you?

-[Omar] It'll be fun.
-[Nadeen] No! [laughing]

What do you think you're doing in here?
What are you doing in my room?

Shams, can you explain
what's going on here?

It's research for my documentary.

It has nothing to do with you.

Why's my name on it, then?

You are nothing but a total weirdo!
And a stalker as well!

Someone has to put a stop to this.
You are a psycho!

Someone like you
has to be locked up in a hospital!

You are insane.

Hey, Tasneem! What's wrong?
Why are you shouting?

This little psycho has a whole plan
for me. Look, see for yourself.

I mean, it's clear now
that she's the one who sent that video.

And this piece of rubbish
is defending her, of course,

because she was with her!

Really, Tasneem? And what exactly were you
doing at school in the first place?

Huh? Tell us, then!

That you went there
because you were setting me up.

If anyone is a psycho... it's you.

Nadeen, were you in on it?

You're joking?
Is that the only part you care about?

Honestly?

Were you in on it?

[tense music fading in]

Nah.

I wasn't there.

I had no idea she did any of this... okay?

[Tasneem] What?! That's all right, Omar?

Aren't you the least bit shocked
by what your sister's been doing?

Just so you know, I'm telling Ms. Farida.

And I'm gonna make sure
that you get expelled.

Fine. Tell her.

And I'll tell her as well.

Ooh, and perhaps I'll have to tell her
exactly where you were

when you went off to get "sponsorships."

-You little...
-Hey, hey, hey, stop! Calm down, will you?

You can all get out of my room.

All of you, get out!

You as well, Nadeen.

By the way... you wanna know why I don't
tell people you're my sister, do you?

There's your answer, Shams.
That's the reason.

Because you always ruin everything!

I WANT TO SEE YOU... IN PERSON...

If Ali and everyone is here,

who are you messaging? Your mummy?

It was no one. Um...

Big news.

That Shams is a psycho.

-She's the one who sent out the video!
-I was so sure of it.

[sighs]

But I swear she'll regret it.

[high-pitched sound through speakers]

Hello, guys! How are you?

Okay, so first of all,
let's say "happy birthday" to Omar.

-[crowd whooping, whistling]
-[Ali] So, tonight...

Anyway. I won't give her
the satisfaction of ruining my night.

-Come on! Let's go.
-Yeah.

[Ali] I have a surprise
for my friend Omar on his birthday.

So I'd like to sing
a song that I've written.

-It's the first time I've played it live.
-Can you see me?

-[Ali] So... yeah.
-Sorry?

[Ali] Enjoy it tonight.

I was just making sure that I hadn't
suddenly turned invisible or something.

It's a well-kept secret

I can't talk about it

But whenever I see you
My heart beats so strangely


Let me tell you what happens to it

I'd tell you about
My dreams if I could

I saw them sneaking
out of school, you know.

What are you saying?

[Sarah laughing]

Tasneem and Sarah.
I have them sneaking out on video.

-[Ali] Let's go, guys!
-[music intensifies]

[crowd whooping]

[Sarah] Yeah! [laughs]

I want to be everything you need

My arms are open for you
If that would make you happy


If we were dreaming
We'd do the impossible


I'd spread my wings for you

Thank you so much, guys.
