Love Is Blind: Habibi (2024) s01e05 Episode Script

1
I swear on my mother's life,
I will kick your ass.
- Piss off!
- I will kick your ass.
I love that you're just relaxing here.
That's none of my business.
Why would I interfere?
I'll teach him a lesson.
My mother and father
taught me to be respectful.
Simo has anger issues.
He gets lost in the heat
of the moment too much.
Simo talks behind people's back.
I'm shocked, because I've never seen
Chafic in a situation like this.
I don't like it,
and I don't like this feeling.
Simo has a lot of issues.
We'll talk about what bothered me.
HAJAR, 29
BUSINESS OWNER
Turn around.
I don't see any stains.
He makes mistakes
and hurts people around him.
I know that he and Chafic
have like some beef.
Where do I fit in this? Only God knows.
I had a problem yesterday.
She didn't stand by me.
SIMO, 34
RETAILER AND CONTRACTOR
Hajar.
I just got a call telling me
that Simo left.
The fight was between two guys.
Why would I get involved?
What can shock Hajar?
If you leave me for no reason.
It shows he's not ready
for the responsibility.
who doesn't respect me enough
to talk to me before leaving.
Life goes on. I'm strong enough
to not cry over a guy
or feel sad over a guy I just met,
because he's a child.
LOVE IS BLIND, HABIBI
We're back together.
ASMA AND KHATAB
ASMA, 33, REGIONAL MARKETING
MANAGER AND ENTREPRENEUR
Have a seat.
Thank you.
I'm fine.
I don't know if it showed or not.
It showed indeed.
That's why I tried to calm you down
- with breathing exercises and all that.
- I know.
After the reveal, and
because I was stressed,
I felt like I needed some time to think.
Tell me about the physical attributes
you like in a man.
I love a man
who takes good care of himself.
He should be athletic.
I was athletic and now I'm trying
to get back to the normal lifestyle.
to be honest.
I told you in the pod that
the most important thing in a human
is their heart and their mind.
God creates them and they'll never change.
- Right.
- They will stay the same.
Looks change. I was fit.
I was super skinny
These things change, now, we're here.
Yeah. I'm happy.
- Listen, it's all God's plan.
- It's written in the stars.
It's written in the stars.
It was our good fortune
that we kind of got to make sure
This is so weird.
I want to put something in front of me.
I'm looking at a at a circle like this.
The difference between the pod date
and this, is that it's visual.
KHATAB, 32
ARCHITECT, DJ AND MUSIC PRODUCER
So, for me, it was much easier.
I got to see more of the body language,
the physical attraction,
and how her smile looks and all that.
There are some beautiful things
like when she smiles, I smile, too,
I remember time in the pod,
when I used to hear her laugh
and all the things that
attracted me to her.
May Allah bless you with a good morning,
from my temporary exile!
Today we have a date.
"The date" with Safa.
I hope things go well with her
and I impress her.
He will take me out on a date.
I don't know what it will be.
I'm so excited to see what the date
will be, and I'm so excited, of course,
to see him and spend time with him.
Yesterday, there was a bit of tension
between me and Dounia.
So, today I have a surprise for her.
We'll be out together all day,
to make her happy.
I'm so excited. Today I'm planning
to take Karma to the seaside.
She's always said
how much she loves the sea.
So, today, Karma and I
are going on a boat ride.
But before all that, I must, must
take a dive in the sea.
NOUR AND MIDO
Nour and I we're not a match.
She's very cold emotionally.
She wants someone to keep giving.
No matter what you do,
she doesn't acknowledge it.
Now, I'm waiting for Nour to come
Bonjour.
- All is good?
- Good.
It's so beautiful to sit here.
- Right?
- Yeah, it's quiet.
You slept well?
Yeah, somewhat.
Haven't you eaten since morning?
No, I didn't have the time.
- Why?
- Nothing. Just asking.
You don't want to eat together?
I though we'd eat together.
- No. I ate. I had breakfast.
- Really?
Yeah.
You stayed up late last night
with Hajar, right?
I was a little upset. So, she didn't
want me to go to bed like that.
How kind of Hajar!
Yeah, we have a good connection.
In fact, she was sad
- Her too?
- 'Cause of what happened.
And you were healing each other's
wounds last night?
I feel like you're making fun of me.
- So, you sat together.
- Yeah.
You think what happened yesterday
was normal?
It's all right.
It was no big deal.
They could've talked in private somewhere.
I think it was all about the attitude,
and the way Chafic was told about it,
"I don't want to."
It's very obvious that we're
very different in a lot of stuff.
I can't keep repeating myself every day
and giving excuses.
Okay, come on.
He didn't even give me the chance
to speak. He just left.
NOUR, 29
MODEL
For me, if you can't confront others,
then you're a weak person and a coward.
I don't want any drama, please.
I'm someone who loves life and always
sees the bright side of things.
If I let myself focus
on the negative things,
I'd be pouting for the rest my life.
DOUNIA AND CHAFIC
The weather is good.
CHAFIC, 27
BUSINESSMAN
We decided to go out
for dinner and fresh air.
Chafic admitted before
that he is familiar with Nour.
I wanna know more about it.
It's my right to understand.
DOUNIA, 24
CONTENT CREATOR
Since the pod days and before
we all saw each other,
I've had my concerns about Nour.
I feel that there's something
from her end, at least.
This is what a real man does.
How are you?
How was
I thought a lot
about the gathering yesterday.
What were you--
What were you thinking about?
But you told me that in the past
something casual,
a conversation with her on Instagram.
First, it was I think a year ago.
I felt that I knew her, but
She doesn't interest me.
Nour and Chafic, Chafic
But But, what was I going to say?
- I forgot.
- Thank goodness.
Thank goodness that you forgot.
Change the subject if you don't
want to talk about her.
- It's fine.
- Sure I don't want.
Okay. Let's end this discussion.
I have a surprise for you.
- Let's go.
- Up, up. In the middle.
Go! Go! Hey, hey!
- The horse didn't like her, he liked me.
- He's stubborn, like you.
I don't know why the horse
didn't get along with me.
I mean, am I that obnoxious? I don't know.
- He wants Chafic.
- Come on, pull it.
And so do I.
Pull it. Come on.
You have power over people
and animals, too?
Come on.
So, I feel like it must be
the Lebanese spice.
Come on, hurry! Let's go!
Oh, but--
My foot! My foot
My foot!
You
I'm going to kill you. I'm going to
I swear, I'm going to kill you!
My leg is hurt.
Luckily, I was there, right?
Everything he's shown until now
is really perfect.
So, of course I'm scared of his other side
that I haven't seen yet.
- We disconnected from it all
- Me, I love to be in nature like this.
Nature is my happy place.
I could say that we're now at the stage
where feelings are being born.
KARMA AND AMMAR
Are you ready for today's surprise?
A surprise? Yes.
Our date today is special.
KARMA, 29
COMPANY OWNER
I'm gonna go in first.
So, I could catch you if you fall.
Ammar knows that I really,
really like the sea.
- What do you think?
- It's beautiful.
- Let's go straight to Tunisia.
- Let's do it!
I'd really like to go to Tunisia.
And along the way,
we'll go to see your parents.
Would they be waiting for us or not?
I'm sure they'd be waiting.
We can say a lot of things
through our eyes.
Sometimes you can express with words,
and sometimes just one look
can be better than any words.
Do you know how much I love you?
- Sure. You know how much I love you?
- You know how much fun I have with you?
We're are building our journey
step by step, and day by day.
AMMAR, 30
DENTIS
She's so wise
and she totally understands what I want.
- Be careful, sweetheart.
- Wow! No, it's okay.
Are you scared I might fall and leave you?
After you've finally found me?
- I'm so happy.
- Really?
- You like it?
- Yes. A lot.
Thank you for every beautiful thing
you're doing for me.
You deserve all of it and more.
- Yes. Thank you.
- Thank you.
- This place is very nice, Ammar.
- Really?
The view and the sound of the sea.
The sea is like you.
How is the sea like me?
It's calm, like you.
Also, when someone feels sad
or upset sometimes,
- they go to the seaside.
- True.
And I go to you.
I like how you express the things
that you are feeling.
How do you see us in this experience?
Actually, the thing we have right now
is so beautiful.
But the decision itself,
I think it's still a bit unclear for me.
I think we are both still undecided.
Maybe things will become clearer
over the coming days,
before this experience ends.
And if it ended and we still haven't
decided, then that's fine.
SAFA AND MOHAMMAD
Please.
My sweetheart.
This set up is a big surprise for her.
Everything I put there
is something that she loves.
Yeah, supposedly.
SAFA, 37
ENERGY FINANCE MANAGER
He thought about it.
It was very thoughtful.
So, I loved it.
- Are you making me Masgouf?
- Masgouf, yeah.
She loves fish. This we know.
She loves seafood.
- I like the fish skin.
- Me too.
We have so much in common.
You mean about the fish?
- Yes.
- Is that all?
Is that all you could think of?
We'll go fishing everyday then!
We'll change our careers!
It's so good, really. Thank you, really.
So, Safsouf?
I don't know why
I've been calling you Safsouf.
- Really?
- Really.
What do you expect
they'll say when they see me?
I think they'll really love you.
They'll like you a lot.
What makes you think that they'll like me?
- Now, of course
- Because I chose you.
- And that is enough.
- No, look. If we get along,
then I'll get along
with your parents, too.
Because you are a part of them,
in the end.
There are certain characteristics
and principles that we both agree on,
which they will agree on, too.
In the end, you're a result
of that good upbringing.
No, really. So, yeah.
I think Mohammad is a bit scared that
my parents wouldn't accept him,
or wouldn't like him.
Maybe he's just scared.
Anyone in his shoes would feel scared.
But to be honest,
I don't think that at all.
I think my parents will love him a lot
because I make the right choices.
I wish we had our phones to take pictures,
because it was very, beautiful.
We might not have taken pictures,
but I will never forget this day.
The spoiled one in the house
is getting married to his bride.
Was that the first time you see that?
I mean, I only got to see you
two days ago.
Right. Nice to meet you.
It's a pleasure. How are you?
What's your name?
We've not been introduced.
Excuse me, pardon me.
- Bonjour!
- Hello!
- Merci.
- All good?
- All good.
- How are you?
- All good.
- What's up?
- I missed you.
- Really?
- You missed me?
- A lot.
It's obvious.
- It's obvious, Ammar.
- Bandana looks good on you.
- Really?
- Yes.
- I like these things a lot.
- Looks good on you.
I'm a cuddly girl, so I love compliments.
I like you because you have
these old-fashioned characteristics.
- Even in the relationship.
- Right.
A bit traditional, you mean?
- I don't know.
- Traditional.
Traditional. Well said.
The old-fashioned relationships
were better.
Right. Love was more beautiful.
Love was more beautiful
because everyone had their special role
that was different from the other one.
I'm a traditional man.
Traditional relationships are good.
It's good to have a modern touch, too.
Like not to control you,
but there are specific things that I want.
- Apart from that
- That's it
you're free to do what you want.
I know that Ammar is affectionate inside.
He accepts people and loves himself.
He may look tough on the outside,
but I see something else in him.
What did you study?
So you've studied
I found balance then
between business and theater,
so it would go together.
Dancing, acting, and everything else.
If you ask me,
I think you should focus on business.
No, I'll do both.
- What do you mean by "both"?
- Both of them are good.
Yes, but what will you do
in the theater field?
I'll be acting. I can go back to acting.
But only acting.
- What do you mean?
- You said you loved dancing.
You can dance in front of the mirror.
- Sure.
- Not in front of people.
I've performed before.
I haven't performed belly dancing before.
- A show, with people watching?
- For sure.
- Wow!
- I've acted on stage, too.
Right.
If you were a painter
and had an art exhibition,
I'd love to see your work.
Be proud of it. But if you're dancing
- Then, you'd dance with me.
- No, I wouldn't even go.
- I wouldn't go.
- Dancing is beautiful.
- It is, but I don't like it.
- What do you mean?
I don't accept that you'd be a dancer
I'd never accept that. It's impossible.
What do you mean "impossible"?
Nothing is impossible.
- No, some things are impossible.
- Like what?
Like my wife dancing.
I don't accept that at all.
Not in any way, shape, or form.
It's a big, red X for me.
There are different types of dancing,
and every context is not the same.
Costumes are different,
and every context is different.
All kinds of dancing are unacceptable.
So we need to agree on this,
or something has to happen.
You just said "Impossible!",
so I asked you to calm down, take it easy.
I don't accept that,
it's out of the question.
I don't know why you look at dancing
like this. I look at it very differently.
You're supposed to look at it my way,
because you'll become my wife and partner.
You can't do something I don't accept,
or I don't like.
You're just seeing things
from your perspective.
- I didn't tell you my opinion yet.
- Go ahead.
Performance in general is life.
It makes me feel alive and happy,
and it makes me who I am.
To take that out of my life completely
would be difficult.
However, we can discuss it.
Mutual agreement can solve everything.
I get angry when someone argues
with me like this.
When I tell you I don't like something,
you're supposed to say, "Okay".
I'm the head of the family
that I want to create.
I don't think that
she can argue a lot with me.
If I want something, the decision is mine.
We can't figure out something
like this right away,
because it's a big topic.
It's not a decision to be made hastily.
I love it.
I still feel that the whole thing is,
like, is not real in a way.
- Yeah?
- I don't know.
I feel like I'd wake up, and this
would've all been a long dream.
Because you're going back
to real life later
Yes.
I feel like Dounia and Chafic
are a copy of each other.
Dounia is talkative. I feel that
she talks a lot, and he does too.
We talk a lot. Yeah, right?
When someone speaks
from the heart all the time,
they might go through
what happened to Hajar.
You can say something
without thinking, you know?
I think you and Chafic can talk
comfortably to each other.
- Yeah.
- Even if something happens,
- you guys work it out.
- True.
- You have a strong connection, it shows.
- True.
- You're right.
- Even Hajar,
I mean, we even loved her spontaneity.
- Of course.
- We found it endearing.
- She's not rude or obnoxious.
- Not at all. Yeah.
It's those who don't know her
- We got used to Hajar being like that.
- I just
We would be worried
if she didn't speak like that.
- That's true.
- That's how she is.
If I'm uncomfortable with someone,
I'd tell them immediately.
I want to know if they meant to say
what they said or not.
How was your connection with Mido?
Was it easy to talk
or are you still discovering?
Funny Mido is not funny anymore.
You saw the emotional side, perhaps?
I feel that he gets very jealous
and comments on a lot of things.
- Mido? Jealous type?
- Really?
- Are you serious?
- Wow!
I've recently started to feel that
he needs a babysitter,
seeing how immature he really is.
Mido!
Hello.
How are you?
- How have you been?
- How are you, bro?
It's hot, but the weather's good.
I see you're holding a fan.
- Really?
- You are?
- Yeah.
- Why?
It's over. I can't stand it anymore.
How much did you try?
I'm not saying you haven't tried enough.
No, no. I've tried everything, everything.
All day long, she's staying in her room
doing her makeup and her hair.
At night, she says, "No, I can't go out",
"I feel hot", "Oh, my hair", and whatnot.
I'm always in high heels.
I wear high heels on a daily basis.
The looks Barbie! She's a doll!
I don't want that.
I don't think that this will be very easy.
Nobody changes overnight.
Let him end it.
The man is looking for wife material.
He wants someone to support him.
- If you want my advice, I'm with you.
- You're right. I agree with you.
I felt that you're not so comfortable
with Mido, or am I wrong?
We just want to know.
Maybe you need some more time to adjust
for your personalities
to align with each other.
For me, it is easy come, easy go.
I'm still taking my time.
And we still have a lot of time left.
- Me too. I swear.
- Yeah, me too, bro. I swear.
- Swim with us for a bit.
- No, no. I need to go start packing.
Come on.
I tried my best to make her happy
and make her every experience be the best.
But I got nothing in return.
No feelings, no emotions, no affection.
Now I don't have
the energy to talk to her about anything
or even tell her that I'm leaving.
She chose to be alone all the time.
Let it be. For sure
I will find my soulmate somewhere.
Girls, we're confident friends
and we're trusting.
With a smile and a laugh.
How beautiful we are!
Oh, my goodness!
I wish I didn't look in the mirror.
- Yes.
- Why?
- Because
- When you look in the mirror,
the first thing you have to say
is "How beautiful I am!
I'm the most beautiful woman,
and for me the sun shines."
- Karamella, yes!
- It's a trademark.
- No, but wait
- Why did you get upset down there?
Because you found out?
When you talked to him in the pod,
did you know that it was him by then?
No, I didn't know.
What did Simo say?
that some people knew each other
from before.
Even if I knew him already
Let's say that I know him
and we went out together before.
He's with you now.
What difference does it make?
And he was looking at your table.
And I didn't understand why.
Are you kidding? So much drama!
I'm asking the question
and I know the answer already.
- Where's Mido?
- Where's Mido? Right, Nour?
Where's Mido?
I don't know.
- What does that mean?
-"I don't know."
You don't know? Oh, dear.
Everyone is asking me, "Where is Mido?",
"Why isn't he with you?"
Sorry, I don't know.
I'm not his babysitter.
You don't know? What happened?
Did you have a fight?
Did you quarrel?
I understand Mido's point of view.
The guy just took off.
I wanted to see Nour's point of view.
Does she really want him back or not?
If I tell her that Mido left,
then everything would be over.
You didn't have any deep conversation
about this or something similar?
I haven't seen him today at all,
since the morning.
I'm not going to start looking
for him here, as well.
After seeing so much drama every day,
so, this is too much.
Hey, look who's here.
Khatab!
At first glance, I didn't recognize Asma.
I was trying to see who is the person
under that big hat.
- Hi!
- Hi! How are you?
- I'm Karma.
- Nice to meet you.
The girls were like I imagined,
while others were nothing
like I imagined at all.
I came in and I was focusing on
seeing the girls.
How was the reveal for you guys?
How did you feel? Was it good?
When we got out, we were really confused.
We didn't know what happened.
Were you able to put the face
to the voice?
Because we all had some
difficulty with that.
I told her the same thing.
She was perfect.
Where is our buddy? Where is he?
- Hajar left yesterday, by the way.
- Yeah.
Long story. We have a lot to tell you.
We'll do it later.
- Seems you caused a big problem!
- Me?
What did you do, troublemaker?
What have you done?
Nothing. I'm not involved.
Guys!
- Guys
- Guys!
- Attention, please.
- Guys, today we need to celebrate
our brother, Khatab,
and our sister Asma joining us.
- I'm not invited. Please, don't invite me!
- No, everyone is invited.
Only one is missing.
- Mido is missing.
- Your partner.
Where's your partner? Where is Mido?
If I were Mido,
I would have left from day one.
What kind of man would
leave without saying anything?
I think they hid the fact that he left
so I wouldn't lose more respect for him.
As a guy and a man, would you leave
without talking to Karma
- and telling her that you're upset?
- I wouldn't.
Was his behavior appropriate?
I'm hearing your point of view now.
I heard Mido's before.
But I'm hearing a lot
of good things from you.
I think we need to call Mido
so we can discuss--
I felt that everyone thinks that
I'm being unfair to him, and that I'm
You never even saw Mido?
Yeah. Because he wasn't
He's not the type of person
to open up, you know?
- Yeah.
- You ask him what's wrong,
- he'd say "Don't talk to me."
- He doesn't like to show emotions.
Yeah, he's a funny guy.
I would have loved to meet him,
and see him face to face,
But I don't know what happened.
You seem a bit angry.
Of course I'm angry.
I don't know. As a guy, don't you find
what he did inappropriate?
As a guy, would you leave without closure?
Me, like, if she does something, like
no way. I'd leave her right away.
It's over now. We all talked about Mido.
It's getting boring.
I don't regret it when someone leaves
because I know
and I know my value.
Your value. Right.
Yeah, what can we do!
We need to find you a groom.
No, don't worry about me.
Of course, I'm not. Don't worry.
I think what's going on is provoking.
I don't like it.
I didn't say anything wrong.
I didn't comment on her appearance.
I just like to smile
when I talk to someone.
to be honest.
Why this awkward silence?
I don't get it, really.
- I'm tired.
- You're tired? Okay.
Chafic decided to leave. And honestly,
I don't like this type of behavior.
Learn something in life.
The one who doesn't value you,
doesn't deserve a chance from you.
Love can be blind for a moment,
love is blind,
but I always say that love is not enough.
There are a lot of things
you need besides love.
For sure, I'll find love. I'm Nour.
So, of course I'll find a guy
who values me.
And they're plenty.
There's plenty of fish in the sea.
Not just any fish.
Nour will be leaving today
because Mido left.
I wish her good luck. I wish her the best.
I hope she'll meet someone
so she'll be distracted.
- Now, you want to joke around?
- It's you who didn't want to.
- You were sitting aside
- You were nervous.
- Believe me, you're nervous.
- Me?
Yes, you are.
You left all of a sudden.
I wanted to go to the toilet.
I was sitting right there,
but you sat on the other side.
- I sat there
- I was sitting there.
But you sat on the other side,
and you were doing this.
She was near me.
I did that out of respect
It's rude to sit with someone
and to turn your back to them.
- Okay, I need to talk, though.
- I didn't do anything.
- Tell me. What is it?
- Just--
Come and tell me what you have to say.
I didn't intend to talk about it at all,
the bad energy or what I felt.
I don't like that because I don't get it.
What is it that you don't get?
What's going on?
- I don't understand.
- What you don't understand?
I don't understand what's going on.
What's going on? I don't understand you
when you talk to me.
I swear, I don't.
What? Should I have thrown her
to the other side
- and not talk to her?
- What does it matter?
She's sitting next to you!
It's fine. You can talk about the weather.
- Don't you get it?
- I talked about that.
I didn't talk about the weather,
I talked about Mido.
- You think I'm upset cause
- I didn't say that.
But when I talk to her I'm not stupid.
I'm a man. I'm not stupid.
When you talk to another guy, I get upset.
If you talk to another guy, I get upset.
There, I said it.
There were always problems
when I was in the classroom.
Would you listen to me for a bit?
Just a quick word.
Chafic was talking to Nour about Mido.
- We were all talking to Nour
- It's fine, I swear.
We were talking about that.
because, now
the only reason isn't Nour,
or anything that has to do with Nour.
- What is it then?
- Nobody.
The only reason is that
he gave me bad vibes.
How?
I was raised well, you see.
He didn't mean that you weren't.
I don't know. I feel that
we both have high energy.
I don't know who will lower that a notch.
I don't understand anything anymore.
I swear on my mother's life.
Maybe I'm stupid.
I don't understand anything anymore.
I'm overthinking. So, I don't know
I'm confused.
I don't know what will happen.
