In Arabic, "dunya" means "be in the world".

the world before the next.

You will die.

If we're only here for a while,

why not make it worthwhile?

Die in style, okay?

Life is about what you feel

of what you can touch,

what you can hold in your hand.

Allah already saw you naked when you came into the world.

He doesn't want to see you like this again.

He wants to see you shine.

Allow me to prepare you for Allah.

Dunya Jewelry, where you are family.

Really, I'll adopt you and make you part of the family

and I will give you the best discount.

You will be my son, my daughter,

my father, my mother, my grandmother,

my nephew, my niece, whatever.

It's great, isn't it?

Allah put us in this...

- Very good.

- Yes? - The color is...

NASEEM: The best deal in this life and the next.

- Strong. - [laughs]

- I love the typography. NASEEM: Just come.

I directed it. [chuckle]

It's going to blow away the competition.

Rot Ramy.

[giggles] It'll be great.

I'll be out everywhere...

in taxis, on TV, on local channels.

- Sounds expensive.

Is your business not having problems?

- If you're calibrating.

You have to spend money to make money.

Advertising is everything.

Tell your friends to watch it on TV, okay?

- Totally. Do not know anyone

to watch television.

- What the hell are you talking about?

- [soft laugh] Don't worry. I will tell everyone.

NASEEM: I'm also flooding Facebook.

I did exactly the same as the GOP.

They do know how to get clients.

- Aren't you a Democrat?

- I'm not a Democrat.

That is repulsive.

Why do you say that?

- Are you a Republican? NASEEM: No!

Neither one nor the other.

- You young people make me angry.

You can have six different genders,

but you have to fit in as a Democrat.

I'm politically fluid, okay?

I have to go see a client.

In any case,

Get out of my f*cking apartment.

don't shower Just go away.

Yalla.

RAMY: It's the kind of thing that says, "I like you,

"But I'm not ready to get married.

- It's expensive though." NASEEM: I need to talk to you.

- He can wait. - He'll take care of you.

RAMY: What?

- [giggles] You make me proud, you know?

Just like my new campaign.

I don't know, it's working great.

I don't know if you saw it, but you know what?

Don't worry, you'll see it.

What you are doing is good.

Build a sub-brand.

- Sub-brand? NASEEM: Yes.

All the best brands belong

to the same company.

Nestlé owns Pellegrino.

Coca-Cola owns that Mexican drink.

They are the same bubbles.

Let me be your owner, habibi.

Be my Topo Chico.

[laughs]

- Yes look...

I saw your commercial. NASEEM: Yes, did you see it?

She is amazing. Is incredible.

Everybody loves it.

RAMY: Nobody likes it.

The whole block makes fun of you.

You're like a f*cking meme.

- A meme? What?

RAMY: I'll make it easy for you, okay?

I'll buy the rest of your merchandise.

I will give you a good price and you can enjoy life.

- Mira, habibi,

I'm going to explain something to you.

Every company has ups and downs.

Right now you are in good times.

But you need someone who knows the bad times.

- I really think you should retire.

- I see you changed.

Don't you care about anyone anymore?

I am your family. - I know.

That's why I try to offer you a good deal.

I think you should accept it.

- This stone rests on a bed of moldavite.

It took us a while to find her.

A very special request.

- Yes, he is a very special subject.

I searched for her for a long time.

- Third installment this month, huh?

You are fast, efficient.

Yuval could learn from you.

If so.

If so?

We need you to pay us, at least half.

- Of course.

- Here you have.

- I didn't know what to think of you when we met.

But you are one of us.

Unlike this one behind me. Damn fool.

Even his aunt Ayala is mad at him.

Say, in you Islam,

They would have cut off more than his finger.

I'm just trying to help.

- He was clearly talking about me.

- Old man, what happened to your finger?

- There are people who think you need

the index finger to point, but actually

you just need to grab with your thumb and little finger.

You see-- - What happened?

YUVAL: I screwed up a bit.

But I'm fine.

I returned to my faith. I'm back.

I'm fine.

Do you need a rock?

I have a subject. A good subject.

RAMY: It's a weird rock. I have been with this client for months.

I'll talk to Saleem's guy.

I need it for this weekend.

YUVAL: Shmmuli? It will take a week.

My subject will do it tonight.

And he lives next door to a massage parlor

where we can go to be pampered.

RAMY: A massage parlor? - Yes.

You just said you came back to your faith.

YUVAL: I'm going there specifically for that.

It is an agreement between those women and me,

because they know that men are destined to sin.

I don't want to judge

but do you have sex without rules?

- But a massage parlor? Is that your rule?

- What am I supposed to do? seduce a girl

and pretend I listen to your podcast?

That is a lot of lying.

God will say, "Did you have extramarital sex

And you didn't listen to his podcast?

- I think there is an option

that doesn't involve podcasts or massage parlors.

Look, I'm not going.

I have plans tonight.

Can you handle this? - Sure.

What will you do tonight?

- I'll see a friend.

- Cool. - No, I told you.

I will not go out with anyone.

He is a friend.

- Tell me how it turns out.

RAMY: Yes. - Call me, old man.

- Yes, Yuval, see that they shape the stone.

I have the subject waiting.

AZAM: Nice to meet you.

NASEEM: Shut the f*ck up.

Seriously, that woman kept looking at me.

As if he knew who I was.

- Nobody follows you.

You're overreacting.

NASEEM: What? [it mocks]

No, it's this generation, okay?

A woman says that a man gives her a bad vibe

she is a heroine.

I get a bad vibe and I'm troublesome.

AZAM: Look, I understand that you're nervous.

Have you never used this app?

NASEEM: What? AZAM: The Sugar Baby app?

You must pay me in advance.

I need the money in advance,

because I need a visa.

NASEEM: Are you only worried about money?

The money? That's all?

Look, I'm a little short on money right now, okay?

I just spent a lot of money on a commercial, okay?

I will show you. It's great.

But I have to wait for-- well, you don't mind.

Here you go, take.

Take this, okay?

Keep it, do not sell it to increase its value.

I'm supporting you, okay?

And beyond. I have the suite.

The only thing he has talked about is The Office.

Sounds like an obsession or something.

It's called "conversation."

And don't come at me with this new disabled nonsense.

- New nonsense--?

STEVE: People testing online.

and so they don't need to reply to messages.

It's okay. It's a little different.

But she is generous.

She is a true Muslim.

- His behavior is not Muslim.

Look, you asked me to take you to combat today.

Why don't you have a driver's license?

Maybe you have something special,

but you should know everything about her before you get married.

- Are you an expert in marriage?

- Guys, someone in the bathroom was on the phone.

Do you know what it reminded me of?

Dwight's bathroom office.

Remember when Dwight had an office in the bathroom?

- How crazy.

The bathroom reminded you of The Office.

- Yes me too.

RAMY: ¿Te recordó a The Office?

- Yeah, that happened to me.

RAMY: When you go to the bathroom,

do you think of The Office? - Yes always.

I'll go and close the deal super fast

we would not be in this situation

If I wasn't the only one who can drive.

- Go to hell.

- Just say.

Hey Lena...

I'm curious

the fact that you don't drive,

what would you say it is due to?

Is it due to a personal choice or...?

- Lena, you don't have to answer that.

[whispers] What the f*ck was that?

- That's a fair question. - It is not.
