Arab Maklum (2023) s01e04 Episode Script

Nice.
This is so cool.
Oh my.
Very good.
What are you looking at?
Umi, now I know how to make
an Instagram account.
Aseng showed me how.
Now I have an Instagram account. Look.
See? I have a good picture, right?
That's what you call good?
You're too confident.
What is Instagram anyway?
You know nothing.
Jenab is your only friend.
On Instagram, we can see updates
about people's lives.
For example, if we want to know about
the lives of ladies around here,
we can find that information here.
So, the reason you made the account
is to find out about
the ladies around here?
I said, "for example."
Then who are you trying to find out about?
Maybe Sasa.
If we want to know how she's faring
at the campus, we can see that here.
I want to see it.
Wait, let's put her name in here.
There are some options.
There. These are her photos.
Who is that?
Why is he wearing crumpled clothes?
He looks like he needs a shower.
Beats me.
Now, if we want to know, we can just ask.
Just click on the comment button.
Then write your question.
Go on.
-What?
-"Syakila?"
"Who is the guy with you in the picture?"
"He's wearing crumpled clothes,
and he looks like he never showers."
"Never showers." Done.
Then you just send it.
Now, we wait for an answer.
-She will answer it?
-Of course.
Aba? Did you leave a comment
on my Instagram account?
That's Fadly. He's my friend.
See? Immediate answer.
His name is Fadly.
That's pretty neat.
Usually, when we call,
she takes forever to answer.
Leave another reply.
"And take in the washing!"
-Wait! Wait! Don't comment, please!
-Take in the washing?
I'll take in the washing.
See? It only takes a second.
I want to give my thanks
to the person who created Instagram.
-I know.
-You're good.
Mud. Hey, Mud?
Come on, man. I'm ready.
You took so long to set up.
I'm sorry. This is just
a rented camera after all.
-Let's get into it.
-Come on.
One, two
You didn't say "action."
Ahlan Tour and Travel.
We provide Umrah travel packages
and travel packages
to various tour destinations
all around Indonesia.
Let's celebrate Indonesian products.
-What's wrong?
-You're too formal.
Then what should I do?
Dance around.
You want to earn a lot,
but you're stiff like a stick.
Come on, dance!
-Like someone on TikTok?
-Correct.
-I can do that.
-Right?
-Come on. Get it.
-I'm ready.
-I'll play some music.
-Okay.
I have a sick beat. It's so fresh.
Ready?
Seng, why are you using this beat?
What's wrong with it?
The beat doesn't suit me.
It's a fresh beat.
What do mean by "fresh"?
You wouldn't know it, but it's on TikTok.
It's for young people.
Choose another beat, one that fits me.
That fits you?
I have one. An Arab beat.
-Cool! I'll take that.
-This will suit you just fine.
-Get ready. Action.
-Okay.
What now?
It's the same beat.
But it has Arab jingles in it.
It still doesn't suit me.
-Use another beat.
-What kind?
The kind that fits nicely
with tour and travel.
About a trip.
I got it.
It's about
Well, it's from a movie soundtrack.
-About a cruise ship.
-Yes.
It's going to be wild. It's Titanic.
Listen.
-"Titanic"?
-Yeah.
Seng, in the end, that ship sank.
How?
You've watched it?
That ship sank long before the movie!
Use my beat instead.
Seng
Which one?
It's a great one.
Let me hear it.
Qasida.
Let's take a break.
So that when we come back,
we'll have some good ideas.
Let's not be hasty
about deciding the beat.
Don't be like, "This one better!"
We have to think about it. Okay?
-Let me find another beat.
-You go and do it.
-What?
-I want to go home.
But why? We're not done yet.
We decided to finish
our TikTok video campaign today.
Come on, Mud.
Don't do that.
I have an appointment.
An introduction with Fadly.
Good afternoon.
Umi, do you have any small change?
We have a busker here.
Uncle, I'm not a busker.
I'm a friend of Syakila's.
-You are her friend?
-Yeah.
I thought you were a busker.
No, I just got back from practice.
-My name is Fadly, Uncle.
-Here you go.
Now, go.
You are the third busker who's come today.
You lot are making my head spin.
But he's
Don't try to defend him.
If we give him money,
there will be more like him.
-But he's
-Shut it!
The next time you come,
go to the local official.
-Do you understand?
-Umi
Excuse me, Umi.
Why didn't you tell me, Aba?
I already
Aba, Umi, meet my friend, Fadly.
Yes.
Kind of different from his photos
on Instagram.
He used a filter.
On Instagram, he's good-looking.
But in reality
You also use a filter. Nothing changes.
Come on in.
I just cooked some nasi kebuli.
Make yourself comfortable.
Wait. Your shoes.
Sorry, Uncle. I'm not used to it.
Excuse me.
How long have you been in college, Fadly?
This is my fourth year.
But I took a leave of absence last year,
so I'm still in my fifth semester.
Fadly is busy with his band.
That's why he can't keep up with college.
You mean his boyband?
No, it's not a boyband, Uncle.
That's singing and dancing.
What I do is singing and playing a guitar.
Can I play my song?
Every time I play my guitar,
girls go crazy.
Go on. I want to hear it.
I'll play it.
Did he talk about making love?
Fadly.
Can you sing Indonesian songs?
I can.
I can.
I want to make love with you
In the car or in the bed
Enough.
Let's just eat.
-That song promotes immorality.
-Right.
Can I continue the song after this?
The ref part is so good.
No need.
What's this, Auntie?
This is my nasi kebuli.
Does it have any spices in it?
It looks good, but
I'm really sorry,
but I have an allergy to spices.
Really?
Is there such a thing?
The only one I know about is
allergies to milk.
It's a real thing.
From when I was a little kid,
if I consume any spices,
my body becomes red and swollen
and it's difficult to breathe.
And there's medication for it too.
-It is real.
-See?
Then we're going to eat out.
Fadly, you can choose the place.
Eat out? You're kidding, right?
It's all right, Umi.
We have to please our guest.
She's right. No need to do that, Uncle.
The meal has already been cooked for us.
What about my nasi kebuli?
It's okay. We can eat it tomorrow.
I don't feel right about this.
It's okay. What matters is that
we eat together.
No need. Really.
Well, all right then.
I wouldn't mind if it was Japanese food.
Japanese food?
But
Japanese food it is.
Welcome.
-Let's sit over there.
-Okay.
Excuse me.
Thanks.
Excuse me. Please.
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
Please.
I want a salmon sashimi.
A salmon sashimi.
And a cold shrimp kitsune udon.
-Great choice. I like it.
-Thank you.
Kitsune udon reminds me of cows
in the city of Kyoto.
You ever been to Kyoto?
No.
What about you, sir and madam?
What's wrong with him?
Why does he talk like a robot?
Maybe that's how Japanese people talk.
Don't try to read it.
It's not like you understand it, right?
I don't. Do you?
I don't either.
Auntie, Uncle, would you like
to be together or separated?
What kind of food is that?
Together or separated?
Aba, you don't know anything.
He's asking whether you want to eat
in the center or at the side.
-Move.
-No, it's not that.
It's whether we'd like to order
something everyone will share,
or whether each person
wants their own food.
Let me have my own food.
I want nasi kebuli.
Aba, why did you order nasi kebuli?
We have that at home.
Two nasi biryani.
Nasi biryani. That's delicious.
But we don't serve it here.
See? I told you.
Nasi kebuli is better.
Aba, how come you're ordering
nasi kebuli in a Japanese restaurant?
Don't the Japanese eat nasi kebuli?
If you go to Japan,
you can eat nasi kebuli, right?
But this restaurant specializes
in Japanese food.
Let me order some ramen for you.
Ramen? What's that?
Noodles in broth, sir.
Good. You like noodles in broth.
Just add some chili, vegetables, and eggs.
I don't want to eat noodles
in a Japanese restaurant.
It's not that, Aba.
This is ramen, not noodles.
Uncle, Auntie,
why don't we do it like this?
Let's just order the food together
and share it.
That way, you can try
everything that we order.
That would be better.
I'll let you order.
I want another sashimi.
Okay. One order of sashimi.
Yes, with one agedashi tofu.
Okay. Agedashi tofu.
-Make that two.
-Two.
Would the California roll
be enough for four?
-It would be.
-I want one.
Okay. California roll. One order.
-That's enough, right?
-Yeah.
What do you want to drink?
I want a Tahlil coffee.
I want an Adeni tea.
Adeni tea?
What's in the tea?
Galangal!
Okay. Galangal.
To make Adeni tea,
you need tea, milk, and cardamom.
I can't believe this.
Cardamom?
Umi, they don't serve
Arab-style drinks here.
This restaurant is kind of lacking.
Sir, just give us four ocha teas.
-Ocha tea? Okay.
-Yes.
That's right. Ocha!
You still don't get it?
She's a singer!
I cried
Understand?
May I take the menu?
-Of course.
-Sure.
-Okay. Thanks, sir.
-So grumpy.
Let's drink!
Astagfirullahaladzim.
What is he doing?
LET'S DRINK
I don't want it.
What's going on?
What happened to him?
-He's making me nervous.
-Maybe he's crazy.
Astagfirullahaladzim.
They have these kinds of people
in Japanese restaurants?
Anything else I can help you with?
That's all, sir.
-Okay. Enjoy your meal.
-Thank you.
Let's dig in.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
Amen.
Let's eat.
I don't think it's cooked.
Mine is cooked.
But I don't taste any spices.
Try it, Umi.
You're right! This is not cooked.
Don't they know how to cook?
Did they forget to cook it at all?
Excuse me?
What's wrong, Umi?
Can I help you?
Take a look at the fish. It's still raw.
And this one lacks seasoning.
Lacks seasoning?
Correct.
Take it back to the kitchen
and tell the chef to cook it again.
And don't forget to add some seasoning.
Add some salt while you're at it.
It's so bland.
Aba, you eat sashimi with ketchup.
Why don't you try this instead?
-What's this?
-Tofu.
Tofu?
It's so mushy.
The fritter stall does it better.
The noodles are so cold.
Did they not warm them at all?
It's just like food that's been sitting
in a cooler.
Uncle, Auntie
I'm sorry that the food
is not to your liking.
It's okay. The fault lies with the cooks.
-They're still green.
-True.
You didn't do anything wrong, Fadly.
It's the chef's fault.
Umi's cooking is better.
-Fadly.
-Yes?
I want to know about your lineage.
Do you have any Arab blood in you?
I don't have any.
My parents are Javanese and Sundanese.
But you pray five times a day, right?
I did. Last time I prayed at Eid al-Fitr.
What about Friday prayer?
Occasionally.
Occasionally?
But I'm going to the Friday prayer
this week.
Going to?
Inshallah.
-"Inshallah"?
-"Inshallah."
You hear that?
Okay then.
What are your plans for the future?
In the future, I think
I want to do more gigs with my band.
I mean your plans for your future.
When are you going to graduate?
What kind of job will you do?
Oh, okay. I think that in the future,
I'm going to be more focused on my music.
So that our band gets more recognition
and people come to know our songs
and we get more fans.
This guy
He didn't even answer your question.
How about your plans other than music?
Other than music?
I don't think I have any because
music is my life, Uncle.
What about you and my daughter?
Aren't you going to marry her?
Marriage? Not yet, Uncle.
We're just friends for now.
Right, Sya?
Aba, we're still friends.
Don't ask about things like marriage.
I just want to know.
Excuse me.
The sashimi has been cooked.
It's well done.
It's perfect. Have a taste.
If it's still not up to your standard,
here's the salt.
Thank you.
We have to add it ourselves?
Where are the spices?
They don't have any, Umi.
Umi, let's just eat at home.
See? I knew we were going to eat
that nasi kebuli.
-Anything else I can help you with?
-You? Help us?
You didn't help us anyway.
You told us to season it ourselves.
Okay. Thank you.
You have 30 minutes to eat.
Thank you.
30 minutes?
I'm hungry.
May I?
Finish it up.
What is this?
I think he's crazy.
See?
Alhamdulillah.
I'm sorry, Uncle, Auntie.
Aba, I'm starving.
Be patient.
Umi, Aba, are you sure
you don't want to eat anything?
No, I'm full.
Full of nothing.
Umi, do you have nothing else
to ask Fadly?
There's still time?
I think so.
I want to know, why did you wear
those crumpled-up trousers?
Oh. That's just the style they are.
When I took a picture
and posted it on Instagram,
my followers loved it.
There were a lot of nice comments.
Umi, those kinds of trousers
are popular now.
They're trendy. They're very cool.
You're not cool, Umi.
You're no better!
You just spend a couple of minutes
with him,
and now you think you're the coolest guy.
Aba, Umi, I'm going to the toilet.
-Okay.
-Okay.
Aba.
Can I continue my song
now that we're finished?
-Don't.
-Please, don't!
Please.
-Please don't let him.
-I know.
Well, I'm going to pay the bill.
-Okay.
-Uncle, let me do it.
You're my guest. This is my treat.
-No, let me.
-No.
But I'm the one who chose the place.
Well, if you insist.
Okay, I'm going.
-Right. Okay.
-Okay.
He doesn't know how stingy you are.
That bit about taking out your wallet.
-I was going to pay for real.
-Impossible!
Impossible.
Aba, what do you think of Fadly?
I have come to two conclusions.
The first is that he's not fit for Sasa.
We have to introduce her to
a man of Arab descent.
Agreed. And the second?
My second conclusion is,
I've learned about the cool style
that Fadly has.
It has given me some ideas for
the Ahlan Tour and Travel commercial.
-What do you mean?
-Listen.
What if I made a video while wearing
clothes with the same style?
A leather jacket. Tight, crumpled jeans.
I can mimic his style.
What?
You want to mimic his style?
You're gonna end up looking like a bum.
You'll see.
Let's drink!
Astagfirullahaladzim.
What is that?
Do you want some?
-What happened?
-I don't know.
What happened to him?
He's making me nervous.
-Maybe he's crazy.
-Astagfirullahaladzim.
Astagfirullahaladzim.
So this is a Japanese restaurant?
Auntie, you have a nice voice.
-Thank you.
-Why don't you sing?
No. I'm more of a cleaner lady.
Drink it.
I don't want it!
-Why do you keep offering it to me?
-He's crazy.
Huh?
-What's wrong with him?
-I don't know.
-This is just
-I think he swallowed the cup.
-Now he's asleep.
-Huh?
