Love Is Blind: Habibi (2024) s01e02 Episode Script

1
I'm wearing formal today.
I've made up my mind
and decided to pop the question
and ask for your hand in marriage.
I hope you have the same feelings for me.
I think things moved fast
and we went too fast.
I felt a bit scared.
Listen, Karma, I don't want you to think
about what will happen or overthink.
I want you to tell me if you're happy,
relaxed and having a good time with me.
That's all that matters.
I can't believe what's happening.
I can't believe that I'm starting
to love you without seeing you.
Me neither.
I like everything about you,
though I haven't even seen you yet.
Me neither, I swear.
I don't know the color of your eyes,
your height or weight, Ammar.
I don't know what your face looks like.
All I know is what I'm feeling.
I'd really like to
to continue this journey with you.
I want to be yours
and want you to be mine.
I want us to be together.
So, I want to hear your answer.
I mean, do you want us to be together?
Yes, of course.
We're made for each other.
Ammar and Kookie.
Ammar and Kookie.
I'm so happy.
KARMA, 29
COMPANY OWNER
I really believe,
that this experience is true,
and love is blind.
I'll be waiting anxiously
for you tomorrow.
Me too, Ammar. Bye.
Bye, sweetheart.
Lots of kisses.
My kisses too.
It's our last time in the pod, Ammar!
I'm so happy,
since the first time I spoke to Karma
AMMAR, 30
DENTIS
I felt that she's the one.
Congratulate me, girls!
WOMEN'S QUARTERS
Walk gently, beautiful bride
This is the moment we all wait for,
for everyone looking for love.
MEN'S QUARTERS
That was the first step.
The next step will be meeting her
and getting to know her better.
Yes, my heart is beating fast.
I'm more happy than nervous.
Yeah.
Take me to my future groom.
LOVE IS BLIND, HABIBI
It's so hard for me to choose
between Mohammad and Karim
SAFA, 37
ENERGY FINANCE MANAGER
I have to decide today.
Hello, my dear.
Hello, my dear. Why are you laughing?
- I was gonna fall.
- Really?
I swear.
I hope you fall in love.
How are you?
I'm happy, don't embarrass me.
You've been across my mind,
I'm gonna be honest.
I've thought a lot about you.
You're so kind! God bless you.
I've been thinking a lot, honestly.
to someone like that.
I'll tell you straightforward,
if you allow me, Safa.
I've trying to find anything I don't like
about you. But believe me, I failed.
I bombed.
It was an epic failure,
as they say.
I have no idea.
Believe me, I really don't.
From the moment I talked to you,
all I want every day,
is to talk to you more and more.
These tears you're shedding
are so precious to me.
I imagined you, your vibes.
Wow!
Safa is the girl of my dreams
I like so many things about her.
Respect, style, she's funny,
so organized, so responsible and mature.
Congratulations, Safa's your fiancée now.
Tell me. What happened?
What's that? Okay, so
I want her. I told you all before.
You're talking about Safa?
Everything is great.
We're on the same page.
- You want her?
- Yes.
She's the fastest girl
to understand my jokes.
We're extremely emotional. But at the same
time, sometimes we forget, and we laugh.
She cries.
We laugh, then she cries.
There's a saying,
"Behind every great man, a great woman."
KARIM, 33
BUSINESSMAN & CEO
I feel that Safa can be that person.
There's a very strong connection.
And it's getting stronger every time.
You're right. Now.
The experience's been very beautiful
so far. My spirits are high. I'm excited.
I'm so happy.
I feel butterflies in my stomach.
Mohammad makes me feel safe.
And Karim's caring, but it takes him
a while to show his emotions.
- How are you?
- I'm fine.
I'm good, thank God.
How are you?
What's up?
Nothing new.
Now
Do you find this hard?
Yes, it's hard, but at the end of the day,
a choice needs to be made, right?
Sure.
No, I'm just kidding.
How do you feel, Safa?
Well, it's
There won't be a winner and a loser.
Listen
The best is yet to come.
What an amazing feeling!
One can only smile. It's only right.
I'm Khatab Hindi.
KHATAB, 32,
ARCHITECT, DJ AND MUSIC PRODUCER
Iraqi-Canadian. I'm an architect
and music producer.
My life was full of rejection.
Rejections from labels,
rejection from agencies, and from clubs,
venues and festivals.
For me, these rejections made me
reconsider issues about relationship,
love and marriage.
My life has been very busy
and very hectic,
and at the same time,
my nightlife job is affecting it.
- Who is this?
- Khatab.
- Asma.
- Nice to meet you, Asma.
- Okay, listen up, dear.
- Tell me.
I want to ask you.
What are you looking for?
- Look, I'm looking for a lady
- Yeah?
- compatible with my personality.
- What?
I mean it fits my personality.
Ah, okay.
I mean, she should be ready,
when we're together,
we can build a life together.
Another important thing for me,
I want my partner to be understanding.
What do you mean?
I mean she needs to understand my life
before making any decision.
Of course.
I studied architecture
and audio engineering.
I have a question.
Ask me.
Why haven't you married yet?
- I'll ask you the same question.
- I have an answer.
- Tell me.
- You tell me first.
Okay.
I work a lot. I work from nine-to-five.
- After that, I go to my startup company.
- Startup.
If not, I'm working out.
Understood.
My schedule is always busy,
and my relationships are limited.
I only meet my friends on
the weekend if I have time.
- Plus, I was picky.
- Yeah.
I'm still picky. I don't want anybody.
- Right.
- Have I had opportunities? Yes, a lot.
Right.
And I had plenty of opportunities
to get married.
But I don't want anybody.
- So we copy paste
- Okay.
and that's my answer too.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Khatab is cool, I want to know him better
and know more about him.
Yeah!
Safa chose someone else,
but I still like Asma.
We're the same in many aspects.
I like her mindset a lot.
Hi, how are you?
Good, and you?
I'm fine. Tell me, how do you feel?
My feeling
I'm very curious. What's your
current status? I want to understand.
Because this social experiment
is getting serious and
Do you feel that? I feel it too.
Yeah, seriously.
Right? So,
I want you to talk to me, because
I can't I don't understand. I need
to understand. You know what I mean?
I changed, you know?
My essence changed. And I
I'm not the same person anymore.
I know, but I try to
I mean
What are you afraid of?
I honestly don't know.
I'm afraid, but I still don't know why.
I don't know what I'm afraid of.
I admit, I have emotional connections
with girls in the pods.
But I don't think anybody
can understand me like you do, and
The emotional connection
isn't there fully, and that's my fault.
- Did the 40 minutes go by quickly or
- Very quickly.
- My God!
- No.
When your heart beats, time flies by.
It hasn't beaten yet, Sis.
"Sis"?
I think it will pass by
slower with other guys.
Karma is the one I liked
out of all the girls I talked to.
I'm a bit nervous and afraid,
but I'm excited at the same time.
I couldn't sleep a wink.
I've been waiting for this day.
This experience, with all its details,
stories, feelings and emotions,
had made me believe in love more.
It's time to finally see
the person I was talking to today.
I want to see the woman
I fell in love with.
Ammar!
Ammar!
You smell lovely.
You're very handsome.
Very handsome, darling!
No!
Wow. It's so beautiful, Ammar!
It's so beautiful!
You're so beautiful.
I'm ready.
I felt I've always known her.
It was a beautiful moment.
Kiss me.
I can't believe we might
get married in four weeks.
Is love blind? Yes, love is blind.
I'm sure I made the right decision.
I'm so comfortable and happy.
And I'm sure Mohammad's
the right man for me.
I'm feeling something
I've never felt before.
Hi!
Wow, hello! I'm so glad it's you.
How are you?
Thank you so much, dear.
God bless him!
- Darling!
- God rest his soul!
God rest his soul.
Interesting!
I want to ask you something.
Who is Safa?
The young Safa, not the grown-up one.
The one with the innocence of children.
Wow.
Who's Safa?
Great.
Then we went back to Iraq.
You were so young then.
Neither the school, nor the playground
nor the teacher, nor the friends.
I don't remember the name of my school.
That's so bizarre!
I only remember very few things.
Anyway, so, most of my school
Totally.
Do you understand?
Is your heart at ease, Safa?
Is your heart at ease?
Looks like love is truly blind.
But I'm waiting for him to propose
and God willing,
he'll propose. God willing!
Amidst all that's happening
and this emotional burst,
I'm going in with a certain mindset.
I need to decide today.
I've rolled up my sleeves
and came ready for you!
I've rolled up my sleeves
and my pants! Look!
Come here! Here's my wallet
and my notebook.
Things are getting real, Mido.
So what?
I feel that she can be my life partner
MIDO, 39,
REAL ESTATE CONSULTAN
We've got the same energy.
What do you want? What are you
looking for in the girl of your dreams?
Are you looking for a funny and cool girl?
What is it exactly?
I want to be with someone
I enjoy living with.
As in jokes, fun.
We can play, fool around,
watch a movie together and joke.
I want to feel I have another soul
with me, more than just a body, you know?
- That's all.
- Okay.
Can you imagine yourself
spending the rest of your life with me?
Certainly.
- Can you imagine that?
- Of course.
- Really?
- Yes.
- I'm so bubbly actually.
- Very much.
I won't lie to you.
Happy birthday.
- Thank you.
- Many happy returns.
- With you by my side?
- With me by your side.
Oh, my heart!
His sense of humor is wonderful.
He very energetic and cool.
We Egyptians love joking.
This essence is a part of our character.
What do you want to say
in the last minute in the pod today?
What do you want to hear?
Do you love me?
My love.
I love you.
I don't know.
Not comparing
Have you had deep conversations
or not yet?
- Yes, I reached that level.
- Okay.
That's what makes it hard.
Asma is not like any other girl.
There was a very special moment
between me and Asma in the pod yesterday.
I wasn't expecting that to happen.
I really want to have
another date with her,
to see if she's feeling
the same towards me.
- Hi!
- How are you?
So, tell me.
What do you want to know?
What do you want?
because
I feel that all the others
are progressing, except for us.
You're not giving me anything
that makes me feel safe.
To be honest.
I don't know, honestly.
I don't know.
do you think you will use your heart
and I will use my rationality?
honestly.
It's over.
I said to Asma
She wants something, so I told her,
"I don't have what you're looking for."
I told her I will be a burden.
I will be a big burden.
Asma will make her own decision
tomorrow. Of course,
she's dating more than one person.
And I appreciate that. I feel like Mido
has a better connection with her
We were just talking about you.
We were just talking about you.
What were you saying?
Karim is not an option for me anymore.
between Khatab and Mido.
I don't know how to do that.
Write down the pros and cons of each one.
But for me, I see it's very easy for you.
But you like Egyptians. I don't know why.
That's right.
I can tell that he's being himself.
And he always drifts to joking.
We Egyptians like to joke.
In essence,
it's a part of our personalities.
I need to make a decision today.
Hi, bro.
- Who are you meeting next?
- Asma.
Who's Asma Who's she talking to?
She's with Mido. It's over for me.
- She's not married.
- Yeah.
She's not married
and nothing's happened yet.
Good morning.
Good morning!
were very intense, honestly.
This is very exhausting, Asma!
Do you have any questions?
- Me?
- Yeah.
Tell me about the physical attributes
you like in a man.
- Be very honest with me, Asma.
- I'll be very honest and direct.
- Yeah.
- I love a man
who takes good care of himself.
Right.
He should be athletic, doing activities.
I want someone who's into sports.
Listen, I'm
I'm very active.
Yeah, that's great. I'm extremely active.
But I've had problems
for the last two years.
I've been through some very tough times.
For me, I like to be fit.
So, what happened in the past two years
I don't like it.
I want to change my life completely.
There's no doubt about that.
I'm sure about that. Since you haven't
made up your mind yet,
ask me all the questions you're curious
about and you don't know the answers to.
I'm ready to fight for Asma
and claim her and make her mine.
How's your lifestyle going,
especially that you're in the nightlife?
Okay, for me,
I mean, when I decided to get married,
I decided that my main priority
would be my wife.
During the past years,
To the point that I got here
with a locked and black heart.
I was thinking about work only.
these things.
Okay.
I'm a partner in a company in Europe
for medical AI.
- Okay.
- At the same time,
At the same time, I invest in real estate.
So, I have my own system
How come you never told me
all these things before?
Because if I'd told you this from day one,
you would've said,
No, I'm not like that.
We're getting to know each other, Asma.
I want to know who's inside,
who you really are.
Exactly, you're right.
Since the first day we spoke together,
you were number one for me.
If you choose someone else,
I'm happy for you.
I feel goosebumps everywhere.
I want to build on your story.
When I combine what you're saying now
with what you said before,
everything added up.
because they made the full picture.
The stories and the questions you ask me.
And the sequence you used to introduce
yourself. Even your expressions
I'm looking forward to being with you.
For me I want to go through this
and give it a shot
I just said,
Is this final?
- Yes.
- Are you sure?
Sure, a 100%.
- Totally sure?
- 1,000,000%.
that he provided me with, logically,
on the logical side,
Such an amazing feeling! I feel like
I'm soaring in the sky,
and my heart is flying too.
Khatab gave me all the answers.
And the things I found out about him
are amazing.
Have you made up your mind, Assooma?
I did.
Assooma!
I just
What bothers me the most,
maybe I didn't get a chance
to talk to her before Khatab did.
Asma made her decision
before listening to me.
She made feel like I was her top one
and she's extremely happy and all that.
And in the end, that wasn't true, so
Don't trust girls!
- Bye.
- What is this?
No, I mean,
If you don't want to listen, I can leave.
Wow!
He just left.
That's it.
He wouldn't even listen to me, I said
He said,
"There's nothing left to talk about."
Safa is my reassurance.
Safa is my support.
Safa is my life partner.
Safa is kindness.
Safa is the feeling.
She's everything. She's
I don't know. She's Safa.
Yes, I'm okay. What about you?
- I miss you.
- Me too.
I'm so confident and relaxed.
- And so happy.
- Me too.
I wake up now, and I have
a very beautiful reason to wake up for.
My precious Safa,
my dear,
for the first time in my life,
I spent so much time
in my room.
And I felt the walls closing in on me,
and they kept closing in more every day,
until I spoke to you for the first time,
Safa. Your voice, your tenderness,
your feelings and your laughter
fill everywhere you go, these walls
started disappearing, Safa, bit by bit,
until they broke down
and vanished completely.
And I was able to reach your heart.
And I could feel you in my arms.
Now, it's time, Safa.
Now, it's time to tell you, Safa.
Will you be mine
and I'll be yours?
Will you light up my life?
Through its ups and downs.
I would love to be with you.
And I want to be your rock.
It was a scary moment.
I'm still trembling.
I wish my parents were here.
I'm so happy.
Amazing!
I hope you turn out to handsome tomorrow.
- Do you have any doubts?
- No, I've no doubts.
- Bye, darling. Bye.
- Bye.
He's just an amazing person.
I can't even imagine what he looks like.
WOMEN'S QUARTERS
Peace and prayers be upon you,
our prophet Muhammad!
Don't cry.
- You too, don't cry.
- Safa, please.
MEN'S QUARTERS
Congrats, groom!
Best of luck for you both.
I took a deep breath
for the first time in my life.
she was silent.
I was like, "What's going on?"
My hand started trembling. I nearly
started dancing, you know what I mean?
She said, "Yes, I do."
It was such a beautiful moment!
No, it was beautiful. It was nice.
I'm very nervous but at the same time,
I'm sure that God's will shall prevail.
I'm going in with very good vibes,
I will leave with better ones.
Way to go, my lovely lady!
Come on!
Yes!
For the first time in my life,
I felt my legs shaking.
As a DJ, I play in parties
for 15,000 to 20,000 people.
But I've never felt this nervousness
that I felt with one person.
- Khatab, what happened?
- What?
Looks like congratulations are in order.
I really can't believe it.
Congrats.
This is totally unreal!
I'm engaged!
It's the first time I get engaged, so
There's a wall between us
I wish I could see you
And be closer to your voice
There are weird things going on
in this experience.
You feel chemistry
and things like that with someone
SIMO, 34
RETAILER & CONTRACTOR
you've never seen before,
just by listening to their voice.
What an incredible experience!
Yasmine is my top one. But Hajar,
the Moroccan girl seems very nice too.
That's the problem.
Yaso!
Simo!
You did it, Simo?
What a great entrance!
No, it's not like that.
This is a small attention
because of your birthday, and because
you've become someone I hold dear.
Are you okay, Yasmine?
I mean it.
This is a great entrance, so
Let me pull myself together.
What's your most precious memory
in your life?
Maybe it will be in this experience.
God willing. Of course.
Actually, don't answer me now.
Let's wait until the end.
I like your self-confidence.
It's clear.
You're not shy, God bless you.
I mean, you're not a shy person.
You wear your heart on your sleeve.
Well said.
Maybe you say hurtful things sometimes.
No.
Your honesty is a little scary.
No.
"No."
No, this is unfair.
Yas!
Today,
I've never seen.
I don't know. I'm confused.
I have a unique connection with Yasmine.
It's so sad that Hajar isn't giving me
any signs, as they say in Morocco.
to prove to him in a pod
that I'm better than her.
- Exactly!
- Actually
You keep trying to convince him!
That would make me feel cheap!
I wanted you to come in, smell something
lovely and say, "Wow!"
So, I stole a flower from another girl.
I sprayed some perfume on it
and gave it to you.
Wow!
So, I don't know who is it.
Yasmine doesn't reveal anything.
This is so embarrassing!
I gave you back a flower
from your bouquet.
What does this mean?
Honestly, you're my number one.
- Yeah.
- Quite honestly.
Because you're the only guy
on whom today I made a move on.
And only God knows what's next.
Yeah, only God knows what's next.
That what I'm afraid of.
But God knows best always, you know?
Yeah.
Stupid.
It's hard to get engaged to someone
you've never seen.
What I'm most excited about
are her smile and her laugh.
That's it. I'm going to see my soulmate,
hopefully.
We think alike,
and our lifestyles are similar.
I don't know. He makes me feel happy.
He's the right person for me.
The clock stopped ticking
and the Earth stood still.
You're kidding me. Wow, you're so cute!
I can't believe this is your voice!
Okay, I'll put this ring on your finger.
I know. I need to get it out first.
It's stuck!
My love,
I wasn't expecting this at all.
Such a strange feeling!
I feel like I'm in a dream.
I swear, you're a bit like I imagined,
but you turned out to be much prettier.
Take care.
Don't try any monkey business, all right?
Already?
Bye.
Wow! My God!
I wish my father was here.
I'm sure he would've loved him and
He would've loved my dad too.
The two guys I feel the biggest connection
with are Chafic and Simo.
I think Simo is outgoing
and experienced with life.
It's very similar to my lifestyle.
Those are the things I like about him.
Who's there?
- Hajar?
- Yeah. Oh, good. Bravo.
- How are you, Hajar?
- I'm a bit sick today.
I swear, I'm Today, I'm also not
This isn't my best day.
And I lost my book.
We were jinxed.
I swear, I'm very I don't know. I'm very
- No way!
- I swear to God.
- I'm wearing linen.
- That's so awesome!
Like mentally, psychologically,
I only want a girl who respects herself.
And respects me.
If she's not loyal,
our relationship won't work out.
Of course, I will send them
to English and French schools.
Okay, very good.
Because you're a very attractive woman.
Look, me I'm telling you something,
Hajar. Me I swear to God.
Okay, I want to teach religion to my kids
also, but I wanna something again.
When I have a son,
I'll will give him my soul.
- Laugh.
- I did.
Laugh, Hajar.
I was sleepy, now, I'll be back laughing,
and they'll wonder what happened.
"Who did you get?" Well, it's a secret.
God willing.
I like that so much!
He's number one.
I love this laugh!
- Hi!
- Hi. Who is it?
You don't recognize me.
You're Nour.
No, wait. I think I know who you are.
Oh, my God, Chafic!
Can I tell you something, Dounia?
Ask me anything you want and I'll answer,
and then I'll ask you in return.
Okay, no problem.
Tell me, for example, what's your type?
my type of girls
She has to be tan, you know?
She have to be tan. I like tanned girl.
- Okay.
- Her laugh
- is important for me.
- Yeah, definitely.
As for her height
Listen, honestly,
I won't say that I don't care
about the guy's looks.
But
I don't know.
I'm very deep intellectually,
to the point that if I liked your energy
and spirituality and personality
If we talk about attraction.
I mean a crush I have on someone.
- You know?
- Yeah.
I would definitely say tall.
He should have a tan.
And also
- No problem, just say it.
- I swear.
I shouldn't tell you this, but
a lot of girls are talking about you.
So, this is what made me
think twice, because
"Are you gonna take this step
or not, Dounia?"
I talked to the girls.
They're very nice. But
what I feel with you
I don't feel with them. I wanna be clear.
I felt a connection, honestly.
I'll be honest with you.
If we continue like this, I don't want you
to talk a lot to the other guys.
No, I'm serious. I'm not joking.
Here comes jealousy! Okay!
No, it's not jealousy.
- for us all.
- Yeah.
Good God!
Dounia?
I don't want to leave the pod.
Don't talk. They're gonna hear you.
Come on. Go.
I don't want to leave. I shut the door.
I still have a doubt about you,
But I'm gonna be sure soon.
I swear on my mother's life
It's still working. I'm not go out.
Come on, go!
So Are you kicking me out
of the pod, Dounia?
- Dounia?
- What?
Dounia?
Okay. I want to tell you something.
What?
- You too.
- Okay.
- Kisses, darling.
- Kisses.
I'm afraid I'd be hurt.
DOUNIA, 24
CONTENT CREATOR
I've certainly locked my heart
with 50,000 locks,
but the day they're unlocked,
may God help me, really.
This is nerve wracking.
I want to be sure that we're
on the same level regarding the looks.
We'll discover if the
"love is blind" theory is true.
We'll see.
Asma will see me today.
I'm feeling somewhat scared.
She's got an overall impression of me.
She's definitely pictured me.
I'm worried about my looks. I don't know.
Whatever happens will happen.
I'm ready for both the positive
and negative things.
Honestly, I can't picture his
appearance at all.
In my opinion, the physical appearance
should be athletic, because I'm like this.
Let's see what will happen.
