Uh, arriving tomorrow. My U.S. cell number should work, so, uh... so call me. It would be good to see you. KHALED Jamal, fix your button. How do you expect people to respect you if you can't dress yourself? KHALED Jamal. Bassam. Come on, Jamal. Come out. CROWD Khaled! Khaled! Khaled! Khaled! Khaled! Khaled! Khaled! Khaled! Khaled! KHALED Wave, Jamal. Not like a girl. Wave. Jamal, go stand over there. MALE DIGNITARY Mr. President. KHALED My son will cut the ribbon. It is a great honor... to be standing here with you, the good people of Ma'an. KHALED This ground, once stained with the blood and tears of conflict, has been cleansed by the sweat of your good work. KHALED This bridge is more than just steel and concrete. It is a symbol that despite our differences... KHALED Get down, Bassam! BARRY Hello, Mrs. Shapiro. MRS SHAPIRO I'm sorry to call so early, Doctor, but Danny's been coughing all night. BARRY Uh, well, uh, Dr. Chang is covering my patients this week, so let me give you his service number... MRS SHAPIRO I'm sure he's fine, but I really trust you. BARRY I'm glad you trust me, but he's an excellent doctor and I'm about to leave town, s... MRS SHAPIRO I get that you're busy, but what if he has strep? BARRY No, I, uh, I understand, I do, uh... I'll be at my office in ten minutes. MRS SHAPIRO Thank you, Dr. Al Fayeed. BARRY Okay. Bye. EMMA I can't believe you're making us go to this wedding when they're burning pictures of Grandpa on the street. MOLLY Emma, get off the Internet. EMMA And they burned down the bakery where the wedding cake was being made. EMMA And you think this is funny? What if they attack us? MOLLY No one's attacking us. SAMMY And if they do, we'll have armed escorts. Dad's father's like a king. Em, we're royalty over there. You know, you'll be like Kate Middleton. Just fat. MOLLY Hey, don't talk to your sister like that. Come on. SAMMY What part of what I said isn't true? MOLLY Emma... SAMMY Aw, it's cute. MOLLY Seriously, can you just stop with the attitude and try to appreciate what an amazing opportunity this is? SAMMY Yeah. EMMA It's not just me, you know. Dad doesn't want to go either. MOLLY He told you that? EMMA He didn't have to. Isn't it obvious? Why do you think he hasn't been back in 20 years? He doesn't want to go, and I don't want to go either. So I'm not going. MOLLY You're going. MOLLY That was a long run. You missed all the fun. BARRY Medical emergency. Danny Shapiro's got strep. MOLLY That's why I don't give out my cell number to patients. BARRY Sammy, clear your plate. SAMMY Got to finish packing. MOLLY Honey, you do realize Emma's manifesting your negativity. Maybe on the plane ride, you can think of something nice to tell her about your family. BARRY They're not my family. You're my family. MOLLY No, see, this is exactly what I'm talking about. Of course she's acting out. All she hears about is how you don't want to go. BARRY Just promise me we'll come back. MOLLY What? MOLLY Very funny. SAMMY I told you not to take the 405-- I mean, come on, who takes the 405? All right, let's go, let's move it. Come on! MOLLY Oh, my God. SAMMY Great. You happy now? We missed our flight. MOLLY I'm sure there's another one. EMMA Or maybe it's a sign from Allah that we should go to Disney World like every other family. MOLLY I'll call the airline. See if there's another flight. FEMALE GATE AGENT Mr. Al Fayeed? BARRY Yes. FEMALE GATE AGENT Are you ready to board? MOLLY The plane's still here? FEMALE GATE AGENT Of course. BARRY I'm sorry. Has everyone else boarded? FEMALE GATE AGENT You are the only passengers, sir. Your father bought all the other seats on the plane. FLIGHT ATTENDANT Good morning. SAMMY Good morning. Oh, wow. Now, this is what I'm talking about. SAMMY I think I like this. MOLLY A whole plane? SAMMY Oh, no. No, wait, wait. All right, this one. Oh, man. Look at this. SAMMY Thank you, Grandpa. BARRY Okay, guys, get up, please. These aren't our seats. SAMMY Y-You're kidding, right? BARRY No, get up. We're gonna sit in the seats that we paid for. MOLLY Isn't this a little crazy? BARRY This is what's crazy. I say no to his private jet, so he does this. And I'm-I'm not gonna be manipulated like that. No way. MOLLY Honey, your father'll never know. BARRY Fine. Sit wherever you want. EMMA It's okay. I'll go sit with Dad. MOLLY No. Stay here. I'm in the window seat. MOLLY Oh. How long have I been out? BARRY Couple hours. MOLLY Mmm. So no turning back, huh? If it makes a difference, I'm really happy we're doing this. BARRY Well, I'm happy when you're happy. MOLLY See, I see a real opportunity here. To finally sit down with your father. Tell him everything you've been carrying around in your head all these years. BARRY Yeah, you don't know my father. MOLLY I know you. FLIGHT ATTENDANT I see you're awake. MOLLY Yes. What do you have there? FLIGHT ATTENDANT Dom Pérignon Rosé Oenothèque 1990. Your brother, Jamal, insisted we have it on board for you. MOLLY To your brother, Jamal. BARRY To my brother. JAMAL Why you didn't get me? My wife just called. My brother's landing in ten minutes. HAMID Go inside... MOLLY It's incredible. YUSSEF Salaam alaikum. BARRY Wa alaikum as-salaam. YUSSEF So good to see you, Bassam. So good you could all come. MOLLY We've been looking forward to it. YUSSEF I trust the flight was satisfactory? BARRY There was, uh, plenty of legroom. YUSSEF Your father insisted. You are still an Al Fayeed. There are security considerations. JAMAL Little brother. BARRY Jamal. JAMAL You look pale. What's the matter? No sun in California? When we went to Disney, there was plenty of sun. Molly. MOLLY Hey, Jamal. JAMAL Miss America. MOLLY Jamal. JAMAL Beautiful as ever. MOLLY Thank you. JAMAL Emma. Come to your uncle. JAMAL My little mermaid. Sammy. Sammy, my fishing buddy. SAMMY Hey, Uncle Jamal. JAMAL So tall. I just bought a Mikelson Nomad. Have you heard of this boat? SAMMY Uh-uh. JAMAL Fastest thing you've ever seen. After the wedding, we'll take her out and catch some tuna. JAMAL Come. Let's go to the palace. MOLLY Look, Em, there's a Subway. And I read they just built a great mall downtown. It's really not that different from home. SAMMY Except there's no traffic. EMMA They're holding it, stupid. Because of us. SAMMY Sweet. Check out Grandpa on the billboard. KHALED You can't kill me! Here I am! I'm right here! You can't kill me! SAMMY Holy shit. You grew up here? BARRY Yeah. SAMMY I can't believe you'd ever leave. JAMAL I was already at the airport when you called. LEILA Mm-hmm. Hello, Bassam. BARRY Leila. LEILA Molly. Welcome. MOLLY Congratulations on the wedding. You must be so proud. LEILA We are very proud, yes. And we're so happy you've come. All of you. Your father is waiting. MOLLY We're fine. Go ahead. LEILA Who wants to jump in the pool? SAMMY I don't mind. I-I could do that. KHALED Bassam. BARRY Father. You look well. KHALED Been so long. Too long. BARRY Well, um... between, uh, between work and the kids' schedules, it's, um... KHALED I'm sure. You're a busy man. AMIRA Your father's been so excited to see you, he's barely slept. KHALED I need a moment with Jamal. Then we'll take a walk. Just you and me. Jamal. We just heard from our sources in Ma'an. Terrorists are planning to attack the wedding. JAMAL I don't understand. I told Yussef to pay Walid to keep them quiet. KHALED Did I ask you for excuses? JAMAL I'll have Ziad round up the troublemakers. KHALED And tomorrow, 10,000 people will be protesting in the square. Don't be a fool, Jamal. Talk to Walid yourself. Make sure he understands there will be consequences if he can't control his own people. And bring your brother. JAMAL Why? KHALED Because I told you to. AMIRA I wish you'd reconsider. You're... You're here for such a short time. It seems silly for you to be staying in a hotel. BARRY Well, we, uh, we already made the... the reservations, so... AMIRA Cancel them. BARRY Mother, please, you... You asked me to come here and I'm here. AMIRA He's changed, Bassam. As hard as that may be for you to accept, it's true. KHALED How does it feel, being, uh, home after all these years? BARRY Coming through the city, I barely recognized the place. Everything's changed. KHALED Yes, it has. Saddam and Qaddafi are dead. Mubarak is on trial. Ben Ali, in exile. BARRY You're still here. KHALED For now. Inshallah. After everything I've given the people, they're still not satisfied. They say they want freedom. Freedom. To do what? Kill each other? I give them order and prosperity, and all they want is chaos. BARRY Listen, um... Molly and the kids are still waiting for me. We need to check into the hotel. KHALED Of course. You didn't come all this way to hear an old man complain. It's good to have you home again, Bassam. JOHN We've been living here for five years, and as far as we're concerned, it's paradise, right, baby? DANA Mm-hmm. JOHN Beaches? Best in the world. Horses? They've got a racetrack that blows away Churchill Downs. We could make a day of it. MOLLY Hey, how was it? BARRY Uh, it was good. JOHN John Tucker. I'm with the embassy. Nice to finally meet you. BARRY Finally? JOHN Your father talks about you all the time. DANA I'm Dana. I'm with him. BARRY Hi. DANA Hi. BARRY Uh, we should get to the hotel. MOLLY Oh, sure. Okay. See you at the wedding, right? BARRY Hey, guys, time to go. Sammy, out of the pool, please. JOHN They're staying at a hotel? SAMMY I just got in! LEILA It's complicated. MOLLY So how was it to see your father? BARRY I told you. It was good. MOLLY It was good? BARRY Yeah, we, um... we went for a walk. MOLLY And? BARRY He got old. I'm not sure what else you want me to say. Sammy, get out of the pool. MOLLY Sammy, you heard your father. Let's go. SAMMY Oh. Well, this is... this is so much better than the palace. Look, a minibar. EMMA You know, I don't really want to go to this thing tonight. I'm kind of tired. MOLLY Aw, come on, Emma. It'll be fun. We'll get our hands and feet painted. You always say you want a tattoo. EMMA Yeah, on my own terms, not as some creepy patriarchal tradition. MOLLY Okay, it's a bachelorette party. There's nothing patriarchal about it. If you're gonna be unbearable, at least be accurate. SAMMY Does that mean our thing is the bachelor party? BARRY Yeah. Without the strippers and the booze. It's, uh... it's pretty much a bunch of guys in a steam room watching the groom get shaved. Tip the bellboy when he comes. MOLLY I'll see you in the lobby at 6 EMMA Hating. SAMMY Bunch of guys in a steam room. Bummer. EMMA You better be careful. This isn't America. SAMMY Thanks, Mom. NUSRAT See? It's pretty. NUSRAT She says it's your turn. EMMA Oh, that's okay. I'm good. NUSRAT Go ahead. It doesn't hurt. LEILA So tell me... MOLLY Hmm? LEILA ...how did you finally convince Bassam to come? MOLLY I told him it's crazy we've been married for 19 years and I've never seen where he's from. He doesn't like to talk about his childhood much. I thought by coming here, maybe... LEILA Bassam has always been a very private person. JAMAL Remember, Sammy, the whole time we were catching fish and your father was standing over the railing and... JAMAL Like it? Good, huh? Bassam, come with me. BARRY Where are we going? JAMAL To talk to a tribal leader from Ma'an, which is still the asshole of the country. Yussef paid him to keep things quiet during the wedding, but it didn't work. And now I have to handle it. BARRY What do you mean it didn't work? JAMAL Walid's terrorist nephew, Ihab, he's been causing trouble ever since he came back from Syria. Now he's threatening to blow up the wedding. BARRY Blow up the wedding? Jamal, I brought my whole family here. JAMAL No worries, Bassam. I'll handle it. WALID My friend, the minute I heard you wanted to see me, I dropped everything and came here. JAMAL You didn't come, Walid, my men brought you. WALID And here I am. JAMAL My father is troubled by what he's been hearing about your terrorist nephew, Ihab. WALID People are always spreading rumors about Ihab. JAMAL So he has no plans to blow up my son's wedding? WALID N-Not that I've heard. JAMAL But you don't know for sure. WALID Well, look, it's true that Ihab doesn't share my goodwill for your son's wedding... JAMAL I pay you to control him. WALID I can only do what I can do. I-I tried talking to him... JAMAL Not hard enough. WALID No! Jamal! Please! JAMAL You think you can take our money? Well, you... BARRY Jamal. JAMAL I'll take your fingers one at a time. BARRY Jamal! Stop! Stop! Stop it! JAMAL Get off! BARRY Listen to me! You're giving him more reason to attack than he already has. JAMAL You don't understand, Bassam. You've been gone too long. This asshole and his nephew need to learn there are consequences. BARRY Okay, but not like this. JAMAL Then how? Tell me. I'm listening. BARRY Talk to him. JAMAL Talk to him? You mean like Oprah. "How do you feel, Walid? You had a bad childhood? Oh, me, too. Let's hug it out." BARRY No, that's not what I mean. JAMAL Then what do you mean? BARRY Invite him to the wedding. Him and his nephew, Ihab. Invite his whole family and put one of them at every single table. He'll find a way to make sure no one attacks. JAMAL My brother Bassam would like you and your family to come to the wedding as his honored guests. FAUZI Bassam. What the hell are you doing here? BARRY She's beautiful. Looks just like her mom. FAUZI Thank you. She's very intelligent. BARRY So how come you never called me back? FAUZI Do you have any idea what's happening here, Bassam? BARRY I read what you write, if that's what you're asking. FAUZI Hmm. After the protests started last year, your father sent his tanks into Ma'an. Dozens of people were killed, hundreds wounded. All the international Web sites and papers carried my articles, yet I never heard anything from you. BARRY Well, we never talk about politics. FAUZI 'Cause you don't want to. If there was ever a time to come back, it was then. Instead, you come back for a wedding. A wedding that's costing £10 million. FAUZI Your father claims that he's defending us from the infidels, the Brotherhood and the Zionists, while the people in Ma'an go hungry. BARRY Come on, you know how corrupt they are there. My father is not the only one to blame. FAUZI Of course you're defending him. BARRY Fauzi, what do you want from me? I-I'm a pediatrician. FAUZI You're an Al Fayeed. They are your family. BARRY Yes. That's why I left. FAUZI After I wrote about the protests, the mukhabarat took me in the middle of the night and kept me in prison for three days. While you're living your American dream, I dream about this. I'm sorry if I interfered with your nostalgia, Bassam. You should finish your tea. I have a deadline. And you have a wedding. BARRY It's a little over the top, don't you think? JOHN Are you kidding? Barry... people can see these fireworks from 20 miles away. The fireworks are the key to the whole thing. Forget those pricks from Amnesty. What your father's done here is a miracle. Not counting the Saudis, the mean per capita income's 18% higher here than any other country in the Arab League. Syria, Egypt-- firefights. Here-- fireworks. JOHN Me, I'll take fireworks. SAMMY My name's Sammy, by the way. ABDUL I know who you are. Abdul. SAMMY So, what's your connection? ABDUL My father runs security for your grandfather. My grandfather was the head of security for your great-grandfather. And my great-grandfather was the head of security for your great-great... SAMMY I get it. I was just making sure we're not related. JAMAL Whoa-ho-ho! There he is! My man... Walid! It's good you are here. WALID May Allah keep the bride and groom in prosperity, and confer his blessings upon them. JAMAL Do you know my uncle, General Tariq? WALID Good to see you, as always, General. And you both know my wife, Nadia. And my nephew... TARIQ Ihab. Did you enjoy the fireworks? IHAB Of course. Who doesn't enjoy fireworks? Boom, boom, boom. JAMAL Bassam! Come! JOHN Let's go. BARRY No, no, I'm-I'm good. MOLLY Hey. You've come all this way after 20 years. Go on. JAMAL You were right. BARRY About what? JAMAL No attacks. Look at Walid and his terrorist nephew, standing like scarecrows. It's because of you. You did this. KHALED Wait! Wait! Wait! Take him. Take him. Jamal. Jamal... come out here. KHALED Come here. Come out here, Jamal. Come out here. Sometimes you have to make hard choices to be a good leader. These are the people who shelter these dogs, these traitors who tried to kill us. Give me this. Take this. Do it. Do it, Jamal. THIRD MAN Please. I have a family. JAMAL Your turn. MOLLY Uh, excuse me. Where are you going? BARRY Uh, just, uh, just, uh, getting some air. MOLLY You were just on the dance floor with your brother. What happened? BARRY It doesn't matter. MOLLY Barry, please stop telling me it doesn't matter. JAMAL He's a good boy, my Ahmed. You love him? That's good. Good. A girl this beautiful, I'm sure you had many suitors. The wedding night is very special. It's important to be pure. It would break Ahmed's heart if the woman he married wasn't pure. JAMAL There. There it is. JAMAL Good girl. JAMAL Good girl. BARRY I'm beginning to think he's insane. The thing is, I don't even... blame Jamal. I blame our father. The reason that Jamal is so broken is because... my father broke him. That's what he does. And... BARRY ...I'm sorry, I... I don't want to dump all this on you. MOLLY No. This is good. It's good that you did. Now, you need to tell your father. BARRY Tell him what? MOLLY Everything. BARRY That's not gonna change anything. It's certainly not gonna change him. MOLLY I'm not asking you to do it for him, I'm asking you to do it for you. For us. BARRY Us? MOLLY Barry... you ran away from your father when you were 16, and you're still running. Since I've known you, you've been carrying around this weight that's just gotten heavier, and... it's left you... joyless. I don't know how else to say it. And if you think that hasn't affected your relationship with Emma and Sammy... with me... YUSSEF Bassam. It's your father. He's collapsed. DOCTOR I am afraid the president has suffered a cerebrovascular injury. JAMAL What does that mean? BARRY It means a stroke. DOCTOR Yes. JAMAL He'll be fine. DOCTOR We are doing everything we can. JAMAL If he dies, you die. You are a doctor; you fix him. DOCTOR Your father asked to see you. KHALED My son will cut the ribbon. I'm right here! You can't kill me! Bassam... Bassam... BARRY It's okay. Don't try to talk. KHALED Listen to me. Without you, they'll kill us all. I was wrong. It should have been you. It should have been you, Bassam. JAMAL How is he? What did he say? BARRY He wants to talk to you. You and Mother. MOLLY You okay? MOLLY Barry? BARRY You should check on the kids. MOLLY Okay. JAMAL He's gone. JAMAL He's gone. LEILA Jamal. Jamal, come... Where are you going? Look at me. Look at me. Now you are in charge. Okay? Now it's your time. You need to be a man. JAMAL You're telling me to be a man? When was the last time you were a woman to me? LEILA Oh! Stop it. JAMAL You hate me. I know that. I love you. And you hate me. LEILA This is... Aah. Jamal. BARRY Jamal. LEILA Jamal! MALE REPORTER President Khaled Al Fayeed's condition is still unknown at this time. No official word from the presidential palace. The president collapsed at his grandson's wedding celebration five hours ago. BARRY He's dead. MOLLY I'm so sorry. BARRY Come on. Let's go. MOLLY Okay. Back to the hotel? BARRY To the airport. MOLLY What...? BARRY We're leaving. MOLLY What are you talking about? BARRY We're going home. MOLLY Barry. We can't just leave. BARRY Come on. Get up. MOLLY Honey, we don't have our passports. BARRY That's fine. We'll stop at the hotel. Get up, Sammy. Now. SAMMY So, what, we're not even staying for Grandpa's funeral? BARRY Sammy, for once, you do what I tell you. SAMMY I want to see Uncle Jamal. BARRY No, I said we're going now. EMMA Sammy, listen to Dad. SAMMY I'm not leaving here until I see Uncle Jamal. BARRY Forget Uncle Jamal. SAMMY No. I'm staying here. BARRY Now. MOLLY What is the matter with you? JAMAL Meet me downstairs. BARRY I need four seats on the next flight to Los Angeles. In coach, please. FEMALE CASHIER Any airline? BARRY Yeah. Passports. Come on. JAMAL What are you looking at? You want to look at something? Look at this. Look at this. Come on. JAMAL Yeah. Mmm. Yeah. JAMAL Good girl. JAMAL That's good. Oh, yeah. What is this? JAMAL Aah! MALE CAPTAIN And once we've reached an altitude of 10,000 feet, you'll be able to use all approved electronic devices. MOLLY Okay, we're on the plane. We're going home. Are you ready to explain to me what that was about? Barry. BARRY Not now. MOLLY Oh, what do you mean, not now? You leave without saying good-bye to your family after your father dies. I'm... BARRY They're not my family. MOLLY You hit our son. BARRY Molly, not now. MOLLY No. I'm sick of it. I never know what you're thinking. I never know how you feel because you never tell me. We've been married for 19 years. And you force me to be like some kind of a mind reader. Please, look at me. I feel like I don't know who you are anymore. I'm not sure I ever did. Please. KHALED Do it. THIRD MAN Please. KHALED Shoot him. THIRD MAN I have a family, please, no, please. KHALED Do it, Jamal. THIRD MAN Please, no. KHALED Jamal. Jamal! KHALED Come back here. Jamal. Get out right now. KHALED Get out. KHALED Right now-- get out of the car. Jamal, do as I say. THIRD MAN No, please, please. KHALED Get out of the car, Jamal. Out of the car! Get out, Jamal! THIRD MAN No, no, no. THIRD MAN Oh! KHALED It should have been you, Bassam. MOLLY I mean it, Barry. I can't do this anymore. If you don't tell me what's going on, I don't know what I'm gonna do. I don't know what we're gonna do. MALE CAPTAIN Hello, this is your captain speaking. Um, sorry for the delay, but the tower has asked us to sit tight for a few minutes. MALE CAPTAIN Mr. Al Fayeed? BARRY I told you we shouldn't have come.
