Dubai Bling (2022) s01e07 Episode Script

A NETFLIX SERIES
[dramatic music playing]
[Bliss] So, today I was hoping
for one big group.
I was hoping we were all
going to get back together.
MARWAN AL-AWADHI
But if this is the way
it's going to go, this is the way it is.
If I were you, I'd try to fix things
instead of making it worse.
You could be the link. But if you're
If we're going to
add more fuel to this fire,
this is gonna be a big fire.
SAFA SIDDIQUI
DANYA MOHAMMED
[Ebraheem] I had a surprise for Danya.
I was waiting for the right time
to present my surprise.
EBRAHEEM AL SAMADI
Unfortunately, it was interrupted
by the conversation about Zeina's problem.
But first, read this.
To be honest, I didn't care.
I cared about one thing only,
for Danya to be all right.
I felt I was the reason
I brought Danya to Zeina's office.
Something wrong happened
and you must apologize.
"To my bestie, Danya, I know
I can't change what has happened."
"However, all I can do is promise"
[voice shaking]
[sniffling]
[emotional music playing]
The fact that he says, "To Danya,
you're my best friend
[voice shaking] and I know
what you've been through
and I want you to know
that I'm there for you."
It means so much to me
that he would even acknowledge that.
Like, I swear to God, like, the letter,
makes me so emotional because
it shows what kind of real friend he is.
You're so sweet, Ebraheem.
When I met you [sniffles]
you remind me of my sister.
Thank you, Ebraheem.
Um, I didn't want Danya to be upset.
So [sighs, clicks tongue]
I prepared a surprise for her
to acknowledge
and remember our friendship.
[Fahad] This thing is going too far now
and it's getting uneasy. I don't like it.
Bliss is an individual
who has his own thing.
FAHAD SIDDIQUI
He doesn't go by
what his wife has told him,
to be or not be friends with somebody.
Bro, you can't have Safa
coming here like guns blazing.
I know it's her friend.
[Fahad] For me, you know,
Safa is not the type to sit there
and take it from anyone.
Ebraheem making a lot of these
snide comments.
He thinks he's witty,
but he doesn't understand
the shit he's stepping into.
We're here for Bliss. That's it.
I don't want any drama
or any bullshit. Nothing.
This doesn't have to affect anything
in our personal dynamics, so it's cool.
[imperceptible]
Fahad knows how to keep it respectful.
He's going to stick up
for his wife and I respect him for that.
But thank God me and Fahad are still cool.
[boat horn blaring]
What happened on the boat
was nonsense because, honestly
"LJ" LOUJAIN ADADAH
it was too much drama.
I was not in the mood for that.
[tense music playing]
-[LJ] You want my advice?
-Yeah.
-[LJ] Go fix it with Zeina.
-[Daffy] Let's get it. Peace and love!
[LJ] I am telling you this as a friend.
Make peace.
I wish you told me this yesterday.
-We didn't talk much about it.
-You should have.
-Okay. Talk later.
-Take care.
[dramatic music playing]
[rap song playing]
[Zeina] LJ's been into tennis for a while.
I prefer basketball,
but I decided to go with her.
ZEINA KHOURY
When I got there, I got hold of the coach.
-My first time.
-First time in tennis?
You have five minutes
to make me look like a pro
because the girl that's coming
is very competitive.
[coach] Very nice.
[LJ] I love playing tennis.
I never feel the time.
I can play for hours
and it's like nothing.
-Hey.
-[Zeina] Hey.
-Are you here to beat me?
-[kisses]
-It's my first time.
-Giving up?
[Zeina] My first time.
[upbeat music playing]
Out, okay.
-Focus, Zeina.
-All right.
On the boat, Safa sent me messages.
"LJ is defending you viciously."
"LJ has your back."
I was told you're not only good at tennis
but at taking a stand as well.
You can say that.
That's what I know.
-You know what, Zeina?
-What, dear?
I was perhaps a bit mean to Ebraheem.
Are you convinced of what you said?
I was talking common sense.
I took a stand
because I was saying the right thing.
Who would think that he's actually
there to buy the company?
It was just an excuse to go to the office.
LJ wasn't defending me
because I'm her friend.
So, I think she would do
the same for anyone else.
This made me really respect her more.
Zeina, to be honest,
you shouldn't have gone to his office.
I mean the café.
-It's a public place
-You did this to yourself.
Was I supposed to take him
to someone else's café?
The difference is that what we said
was nothing compared to what he said.
[LJ] Ebraheem was in the wrong
and so were Safa and Zeina.
I was being honest.
If we don't stand up for what's right,
we don't have a voice.
And I have a voice.
Are you going to Farhana's party?
Not sure yet. I'm thinking about it.
I asked Zeina if she was attending
Farhana's son's birthday.
Though there might be some tension,
I thought she should go.
[Zeina] Think I should go?
Why not?
You don't have a problem with Farhana.
Not at all. We resolved everything
and we're good.
I'm not sure I'll be going
to Aydin's birthday.
Because of Danya and Ebraheem.
I'll see what I should do.
Bravo, Zeina!
I'm exhausted.
[LJ] Nice, Coach!
-[Zeina] Thanks, Eezi!
-[LJ] Bravo.
I'm gonna get there
I'm gonna get there ♪
Oh, oh, oh, oh ♪
I'm gonna get there
I'm gonna get there ♪
Oh, oh, oh, oh ♪
I'm gonna get there ♪
[lively chatter]
-[Farhana] Hello.
-[Safa] Hi. How are you?
[Farhana] Good.
I invited the girls over
to catch up with them.
I waited for all of them to arrive
to tell them why we were gathering today.
Since Women's National Day
is around the corner,
So I was, uh, planning
to do something very nice.
God willing.
An auction. Uh, of course,
to support women to start with education.
That's very good.
[Lojain] This year we're
collaborating with Dubai Cares
because they support the education
of girls around the world.
We want to do something tangible
on this day, not just talk.
The profit would go to supporting girls'
education in underprivileged countries.
And that's the most important thing.
To support young ones.
-Of course.
-Starting with education.
It will be a fundraiser, so get ready.
The cause is so great.
BRIANNA RAMIREZ
We obviously need to empower women more.
It's such a great thing that she does.
What do you want us to do?
Host, handle the bidding
[Lojain] Uh, we should each donate
something from our closets.
Something valuable.
[chuckling] And if you can't part
with anything, you can buy something.
But it usually should be
something of value.
Great idea. I'm in.
I was very excited because
I am someone who loves philanthropy,
and I believe when you do good,
this is the real happiness you have.
[Safa] It's really nice.
The cause of women empowerment,
it's beautiful, because I think women
should always be empowering
other women and supporting them.
Sometimes we are left behind,
-to this day, for men.
-[Lojain] Yeah.
Arab women are the strongest
and the most smart around the world
because we have enough confidence.
My mom always used to tell me
that never rely on a man.
-Of course.
-My mom
Because they are unreliable.
[laughing]
[peppy music playing]
[Farhana] Today is Aydin's birthday,
he's turning six,
and I've prepared
something special for him.
FARHANA BODI
A photoshoot and a cake ceremony,
followed by a party.
I've invited everyone today.
Maybe we can do some solos now.
[upbeat music playing]
[Bliss] Hello, hello.
-[Farhana] Hello! How are you?
-[Danya] Hi!
[Bliss] We got you a present.
Thank you. Give a kiss.
[upbeat music continues]
-Hello!
-Hi!
God, it's so cute.
Hello. Hi, everyone.
Hi.
[tense music playing]
[Fahad] Hi, bro.
[Danya] Safa is very irrelevant to me.
I said hi to Fahad, but Safa? Nothing.
I don't know if Zeina's going to be there.
[Safa] It was very awkward to be around
Ebraheem and Danya,
after what happened on the boat,
and I didn't make eye contact.
Honestly, I don't acknowledge
Safa's existence.
[tense music playing]
Aydin's dad,
my ex-husband, has joined as well.
He's always going to be a part of my life.
Well, thanks for the invite.
I appreciate it.
HEROIES HAVEWALLA
-Thanks for coming.
-No problem.
But, uh, yeah. So, I guess after this,
I'll see you next year on his birthday.
I wouldn't say I'm in love with him,
but I'm not completely over him.
But the last two years
were so tense and toxic,
and I don't think I want to go back
to what I What I had before.
[photographer] Aydin, smile.
Smile.
I'm so happy that we reached a stage
where we're able to co-parent
in a very civilized way.
-Daddy.
-Daddy.
-I love you.
-I love you.
-[Heroies] More than.
-[Aydin] More than.
-[Heroies] Mommy!
-Mommy!
-Yeah!
-Give me also a hug.
[upbeat music playing]
[camera shutter clicks]
Come on.
Ring a ring o' roses ♪
[Ebraheem] Pocketful of posies ♪
[Farhana] Ring a ring o' roses
Pocketful of posies ♪
[female singer] Ring a ring o' roses ♪
[laughter echoing]
A pocketful of posies ♪
A-tishoo, a-tishoo ♪
We all fall ♪
down! ♪
Yay!
[Ebraheem] Down, Yoyo.
It's my son's birthday. [laughs]
[dramatic music playing]
Cruella, I think.
I felt as if someone sucked the energy
out of that room.
Who is that?
[kisses]
How are you?
Dear Lord!
Cruella de Vil, I think.
Oh, my God! That is Zeina.
And I was so not impressed.
[Farhana] I was like,
"Who just walked by?"
Wow, I love the hair.
I thought Zeina doesn't
like sponsored events,
and I think she doesn't mind being around
a social media personality
and being around
other influencers at a birthday.
I think she quite enjoyed it.
Attention-seeking.
You're attending
a young boy's birthday. Get a grip.
Get a grip!
I don't care whether
Danya and Ebraheem are there or not.
I have a group of friends around me.
They're the ones I'm there to see.
[Farhana] Okay, come on, guys.
It's time to go to the pool party.
[upbeat music playing]
[Lojain] Farhana invited us
to her son's birthday.
Me, Basel, and his daughters
Latine and Larine.
Whenever there are kids,
I turn into one myself.
[upbeat music continues]
[children laughing]
[host] Let's say it on three.
One, two, three
[all] Happy birthday, Aydin!
Dubai is so small,
word gets around quickly.
I heard of what happened on the boat.
And I heard you were a champ.
I wasn't trying to be a champ,
I was giving my opinion.
There was injustice,
so I couldn't stay silent.
[Safa] Have you spoken to them since?
[LJ] Yes, we just said "Hi!"
I told them that
you were in the wrong too.
You were wrong to go to Ebraheem's café.
Him coming to my office
was his way of paying me back.
But he paid me back tenfold.
[host] Everyone, come closer.
Zeina goes around talking,
like, Ebraheem closes deals
on coffee and croissants,
and she closes deals on multi
I don't know, million, billion,
something properties.
Don't you think you could be
the bigger person
and make good with her?
[Ebraheem] She needs to
apologize to Danya. I don't give a crap.
[Danya] I know you're my best friend.
And even if you go and talk to her,
it won't bother me.
I want you to make that decision
based on what you want to do.
Let's just see where things go.
But I just don't want
to make a decision now.
I don't think Ebraheem
should go apologize to Zeina.
Khadejah always wants peace,
but she doesn't know how evil they are.
Happy birthday to you ♪
Happy birthday to you ♪
[imperceptible]
[Lojain] Ebraheem came and said to me
that kids are great
because they don't hold grudges.
I felt that he was sending a message.
If he apologizes,
is Zeina ready to accept the apology
or is she unwilling and resentful?
Happy birthday to you ♪
Bravo!
[peppy music playing]
[tram bell dinging]
[Kris] We have a snack company. We were
having a big meeting before the wedding.
Brianna, she's our operations manager.
Her role is important.
And she's in that role
because I trust her.
So, the guys are coming in
in about ten minutes for that meeting.
-Can we get every
-Ten minutes?
-I'm I told you.
-What?
I have the food tasting for the wedding.
-The menu. I just got it last night.
-Cancel it.
I can't cancel it.
[Brianna] Kris is able to juggle so much.
But, you know, we're different people,
and I can't multitask as good as him.
I have prioritized this wedding.
This meeting has been set 24 days ago.
We tried to get a meeting with them.
We finally got the meeting and you
-What have you got?
-The food tasting?
-Just leave it.
-The menu.
-It's fine.
-What?
-Our wedding
-The food will be fine.
Our wedding is when?
In a few days, actually.
I need to go to the food tasting.
-I'm not canceling.
-Send the wedding planner.
Why do we need to taste it?
What are you talking about?
It's not her wedding. It's our wedding.
I'm not having
the wedding planner taste the food.
The wedding is my priority.
It's my full-time job right now.
Our wedding is important.
It's a one-day thing.
We have the whole
Can I just say something?
-We have the whole team here.
-Yep.
I want you to be there. You're part of it.
-It's not just me
-But the It's not gonna
-The company is not going to fail.
-The food will be fine.
As much as I want this wedding
to happen and I'm so excited for it,
I cannot wait till it's over.
She's got more important things
to deal with this wedding.
And I go,
"No, our business is what allows us
to live this beautiful life in Dubai."
I'm already stressing out. I'm tired.
You know I can't sleep,
'cause there's so much going on right now
and you're telling me about the job,
and I'm trying to run the business
and it's just so much on my mind,
I cannot sleep.
I want you part of it,
this is the journey.
He does so much,
he puts a lot of pressure on me
and he thinks I can do the same,
but I can't.
I want this wedding to be perfect.
It has to be my full-time job. For now.
What happens when we
have a baby one day? Touch wood!
What? What the heck
What the hell does that
have to do with anything?
-I'm trying to work out
-Oh, my God.
Do we need to plan now?
'Cause when you have a baby,
we'll go through this again?
-A baby's gonna be a full-time job too.
-That's what I'm saying.
Her being a full-time mum, I think,
will eventually, I believe, affect her.
I think she needs to be driven.
Is she going to be able to manage both?
I don't know.
If every time
something big happens, wedding
A wedding, a milestone in our life,
me having a baby,
do you want me to be pregnant,
giving labor and working?
I think he was overreacting.
It's upsetting, you know?
I just wish he could see all the work
that I'm doing for the wedding.
I don't know why he thinks I can be
like superwoman and do a million things.
I told you this is a priority for me.
Bye.
[tense music playing]
By the way, the wedding's in two weeks.
Yeah, I know, I'm paying for it.
I don't think she realizes
how serious it is because she's like,
got more important things
to deal with this wedding.
The wedding does not outdo our business.
I wasn't happy about that. That got to me.
[upbeat music playing]
I found out that Lojain
loves real estate and investing in it.
So, I asked her to take a look
at an exclusive listing building.
"You have to see this product."
-Are you scared of heights?
-No.
The best part is that I took the project
and changed a lot of things.
I feel proud of women like Zeina
and I like to encourage them.
Mind your step.
Okay.
We are on the 24th story.
It's 30 stories high.
-[Lojain] Nice.
-Okay?
[Lojain] The view is great.
It's amazing here.
-Watch out, please!
-Don't worry.
-If I grab this, we'll both fall.
-[laughing]
You'll fall and I won't.
Everyone thinks that men
buy real estate more.
[Lojain] Of course not!
Lately, it's almost 50-50.
I didn't know you liked
real estate this much.
-No, I love it.
-Bravo.
I really love real estate.
It grants stability.
Makes a woman feel secure.
That's why I encourage women
to boldly go into real estate.
We'll see the blueprints now?
-Then we'll bring Safa and Farhana.
-Yeah.
Speaking of Farhana
-And we'll fight all over again.
-No, we won't. No drama.
By the way, at Farhana's son's birthday
Aydin.
When Ebraheem came to talk to me,
he said children were great
because they don't hold grudges
and they forgive and forget.
-I felt it was a subtle message.
-Hmm.
-It was meant for you
-Hmm.
No one apologized.
-Uh, some people can't apologize directly
-Yeah.
-Right.
-so they do or say something nice
to indicate that they know they were wrong
and feel remorseful.
But I felt his heart
was in the right place.
What I care about more
than an apology is good intentions.
Hope so.
You think if he apologized,
I should forgive and forget?
-Forgive, but don't forget.
-Hmm.
It would be better if you, uh,
want this relationship to last,
for you guys to talk it out.
They say,
"It takes a bigger person to apologize."
But I judge what I see
outwardly in front of me,
and what comes next is in God's hands.
I hope they will clear the air
between them.
So, uh, it's up to you
at the end of the day.
-But I know you. You're going to forgive.
-My kindness will be the death of me.
-[laughs]
-It's my weakness.
[peppy music playing]
-[Kris] You need help?
-Yeah, I need help, love.
My parents, George and Gilda,
they say that I and Dubai give them life.
They enjoy their time out here.
One of the things I missed about
leaving Australia and coming here
GEORGE FAHD
in 14 years, is your cooking.
Bon appétit, dear!
-[Brianna] Guys?
-[chuckles]
-Kris, is the food ready?
-[Kris] Yeah. It's ready. Yeah.
GILDA FAHD
You want some? You guys ready to eat?
-[Brianna] Yes, please.
-We are hungry.
I've noticed that Bree doesn't do
a lot of cooking in the house, dear.
[chuckles] Brianna cooking?
[George chuckles] Yeah.
So, um, for starters,
we're going to have a tostada.
You think we should have
some Lebanese? Falafel?
Falafel, hummus
[Brianna] After I had this food tasting,
and because we come from
two different cultures and traditions,
I'm Mexican and he's Lebanese,
so I wanted to have Gilda's opinion
in the menu that represents both of us.
The kibbeh nayyeh.
-The raw meat.
-Raw meat? Okay.
That's Is that normal?
That's like a traditional dish?
-Yeah. They do it like an entree.
-Raw meat?
Okay.
Um Tabbouleh.
I don't care, but Tabbouleh
is the most important dish.
You know, we have to attend
to people who are vegetarian.
-Right.
-Who are gluten-free.
-Great!
-That makes me hungry.
-I know. I'm so hungry.
-I'm so hungry.
The queen and the princess.
Your food has arrived.
Yay, how lucky we are!
We've been discussing
maybe, um,
you getting some cooking lessons?
-Ah! Yeah, I know.
-[laughter]
[Kris] I got you tissues
[Brianna] We discussed
the traditional entrance.
Obviously, we have different opinions.
You want the zaffe
and I want the mariachi.
-In traditional Mexican
-I want them both.
[Brianna] It's going to happen.
[Kris] I've already got
how it's happening.
[Brianna] Okay.
But this is something,
I believe it's going to be amazing
that you walk in with a mariachi band,
then you're now at the dance floor,
and then the zaffe starts.
-And then I come in, and then I meet you.
-[Brianna] Mm-hmm.
So, I'm coming to meet my wife
at the dance floor.
[whimsical music playing]
Yeah, but what am I
supposed to do on my own?
I don't know what to do, like
-Walk!
-I walk where?
-To the dance floor!
-Do what?
Poor you!
These days before the wedding
[mimics choking, groans]
Look, I wrap my hair around my neck, my
It's torture, and I realize
I can't say anything right.
What they should do, that's what I think.
They should go first, right?
-Play the music
-Then I walk in?
And people would just looking
who's coming in?
-Then Brianna
-And then I come in. Yeah, I like that.
-They won't walk
-Yeah, I prefer that.
This is my mum. She does that
all the time. She gets very defensive.
-Like, you're the queen
-No, no!
and they're walking behind you,
playing you.
They asked my opinion about it.
There's ground in tradition.
It won't hurt him.
-[Kris] That's what I think it should be.
-No, no.
-Yes, it's my wedding.
-No!
I'm not very traditional,
but her father will give her away,
and when that's done,
you should walk in with her.
When they walk you in
and you're at the dance floor,
you now just stop.
Lights go down. Silence.
And then the
[drums beating]
[mutters]
[upbeat Lebanese music playing]
That's what happens. I walk in.
-And I have my shirt off.
-[Gilda laughs]
-Your shirt off?
-[Kris] Yes!
-Are you serious?
-I'm joking.
I'm not going to have my shirt off.
It's happening.
She's going to watch it.
I know she's going to love it.
Listen to me.
-[Kris] I'm listening.
-Listen to your mama.
No, you're not.
Am I giving you a headache? Yes?
-Okay.
-The conversation is.
He wants to do it his way.
But I give him advice that what I know.
And, you know,
they take it or they leave it.
Where is my actual family sitting? Here?
-[Brianna] Okay so
-[Kris] Where's the stage?
Let me see.
[Kris] Mumma, you are
not needed in this right now.
I love you so much.
-I know
-I don't think you know
No. Don't look, don't even look.

I walk in the room like, hey
Hey! ♪
Lojain is bringing her mum
from Bahrain to spend time in Dubai.
She wanted Safa and me
to accompany her on her trip.
I got everything not on the spot ♪
Had to sweat at the top
Had to leap at the top ♪
Let me, let me see you raise up ♪
[Zeina] Hello, hello!
Hi!
Sweetheart!
[Lojain] Today we decided to go to Bahrain
with Safa, Zeina, Basel
and his daughters, and Mazen
to bring my mother
to spend a week with me.
[Safa] You're excited to see Mom?
We were really excited
to go with her to get her mum.
How long is the trip?
Uh, less than one hour. Like, 45 minutes.
Oh, nice!
-Excited?
-[Zeina] Yeah.
-This is so cute! I miss my mom.
-Thank you.
[indistinct chatter over radio]
[gripping music playing]
[Lojain and Zeina laughing]
Excuse me, I need to go to the washroom.
-[Lojain] Did you see LJ again?
-After the birthday of Farhana's son?
-No.
-No?
-Okay.
-Why, did you?
No, because I'm baffled about something.
-I was so excited about her mother.
-Yes.
Uh, I communicated with her
and she confirmed her mom was coming.
We were all going to celebrate.
But something happened and she can't come.
-That's so sad!
-Yes.
I don't know how to tell LJ.
LJ's mother has many reasons that don't
completely prevent her from coming,
but are an obstacle
to her coming presently.
-Is she asking you about it?
-Do you know what my problem is?
I was so excited that I used
to say to her, "Be patient."
"All in good time."
I was sure she was coming,
so I used to say to her,
"Wait. All in good time."
"Just trust that good things are coming."
I feel bad.
Of course, I am sad.
I wanted to surprise LJ.
I don't know how to tell her.
In the end, what's important is for both
of them to decide to reconcile.
If her mother can't come
I sent her one last message
uh, and I hope she can make
the right decision when she hears it
and fix the situation.
-Let's wait for that to happen.
-I still have, you know
-Yeah, a glimmer of hope.
-[Zeina] Yes, that's right.
[pleasant music playing]
[indistinct chatter over radio]
-We've arrived!
-[laughing] We're here! Yes, yes.
Are you excited?
-Oh, yeah.
-[Safa] Excited?
Of course.
Yay!
Mom is here!
[Lojain giggles]
Aha.
Hello! [laughs]
My darling! [squeals, chuckles]
I missed her so much, of course.
I was so happy to have her with us
to spend a week with me.
My sweetheart!
My mother means the world to me.
I feel sorry for anyone
without their mother.
They are deprived of happiness,
smiles and peace of mind.
UM KHALED
Zeina and Safa. Come, Mom.
How are you?
When I introduce my mom to someone,
I want it to be someone I'm proud of.
I would be like,
"Mom. Yes, this is my friend."
With pride.
This is a gift from Zeina and me.
How sweet of you!
Thank you!
-Hope you like it.
-[Lojain] Sweetheart!
Oh!
Nice!
Truly, thank you.
You are so sweet, I swear.
[Zeina] It's nothing. May God bless you.
[Safa] I felt I'd missed my mother
because I haven't seen her for a while.
I felt how a mother's tenderness
is something else.
Something else entirely.
And afterwards
I got emotional
because it's such a beautiful moment.
[squawking]
[rap song playing]
Today is Kris' bachelor party.
I'm excited because I have never
been to a bachelor party in Dubai.
I don't know what we're doing here,
but thank you for organizing.
-[Hanna] It's a surprise.
-It's a surprise?
There's nothing planned?
No, it's up to Fadie.
He's the one who's doing this.
Fadie's not even here.
The guy that's organizing
is not even here.
Fadie's from Miami.
My boy knows how to party. I know he does.
He's coming with
He's coming with something.
Music. He's coming I don't need girls.
I don't want that. It's not my scene.
But I thought, like, with something.
-[Hanna] We're your servants today.
-[Kris] What the hell is that?
What are we doing?
We bring the food.
Fadie brings other things.
They got up quickly. I thought, "What
are they bringing? What've they got?"
They came out
with cake and biscuits and nuts.
There was nothing.
[whimsical music playing]
Yeah.
When we are meeting up
or when we're hanging out,
we're not talking about our spouses.
The dynamics between people
won't be the same.
That's the only way things can be fixed
and not be socially awkward
for everybody else.
So.
Fadie had supposedly organized activities.
There's no music. There's no food.
There's chips and dry fruits given,
like, what the hell? [chuckles]
But the traffic in Marina, oh, God!
It was definitely in the top three moments
of the most awkward party
I've ever been for.
-[Hanna] Where's the surprise?
-[Fadie] Why is it all guys here, bro?
[Fahad] Why are you late?
I thought you are the one
with the surprise.
[Fadie] I'm dealing with a bunch
of married men, bro.
-Yeah! How are you?
-Fadie ends up coming.
He sits on the table,
looks like he's coming
from a basketball game.
We're sitting around, I'm like
Like, what's going on?
FADIE MUSALLE
-Then what are we doing?
-They said that you planned everything.
Let me get out of this
horrible bachelor party.
[Hanna laughing]
There's no music.
Something's got to lighten up this party.
I will sing if I need to.
[Hanna] Grab a leg, grab a leg!
-[Ebraheem] Pick up
-[Hanna] Hold up.
-You're not throwing me in!
-[Hanna laughs]
-[Hanna] You grab one leg.
-Hold on, I gotta
-[Hanna] Get up!
-[Ebraheem] I can't!
[Hanna] Grab the other side!
[indistinct chatter, laughter]
-[Ebraheem] Grab one leg.
-[Hanna] Go!
One two
[all exclaim]
[Ebraheem] Shit!
Bachelor party in two words?
Boring, painful.
Can this bachelor party get any worse?
Poor guy.

The Woman's Day event
is coming up of Lojain
where she is
going to be holding an auction.
I was thinking about what to donate.
I asked Farhana and Zeina
to come and help me.
And I took them to the most valuable
place in my house, my wardrobe. [chuckles]
Listen, a tip to the guys out there.
If they want to gift a girl a bag,
like, it has to be Chanel.
Of course, Zeina and I made up recently.
We were so crazy with each other.
We were, like, so mad at each other.
We're past that stage.
I think we are now, you know,
trying to get back to normal.
Why not Why not give one of the Birkins?
Like a small one, choose a small one.
[chuckles] Do you know
how hard it is to get those Birkins?
-Don't look here. Just look there.
-No, seriously.
Look there.
I'd rather give my wedding jewelry.
These are my babies.
-Stop looking!
-One of the small ones.
-The orange one.
-Smaller is harder to get.
[Farhana giggles]
[playful music playing]
It's hard to call the guy,
"I'm coming for my bag."
[Safa] Go away!
The bid on the highest
-Really want to play this game with me?
-[Farhana laughs]
[Farhana] It shouldn't even have
one scratch on it. [chuckles]
[Safa] Zeina!
[Zeina] Safa broke down! She went crazy.
I will climb on you
in a minute. I'll jump on you.
-[Farhana] This is like
-[Zeina] Oh, my God!
The child in me got like,
"No, no, no, that's my bag!
You can't take it!"
Look there.
[Zeina] She likes every item she has,
I felt that it would be hard for her
to choose something from her closet.
[Safa] This dress is so special because
I was engaged a few times before Fahad.
What did you say?
-I was engaged a few times
-[Farhana] A few times?
Anyway, so I had just broken up
and it was not happening.
And then I bought this dress,
and I think about a few days later,
I just met Fahad.
And I think, this is the reason
I found my husband.
-[Zeina] It's nice!
-Wow, it's beautiful!
[Safa] What do you think?
[Zeina] It's nice, but I feel
a dress is a bit difficult.
Would you bid on a dress
if you're in an auction?
[Safa] Yeah, as long as it's new.
This dress, I just feel, like,
gave me that good luck.
And hopefully, it'll bring some luck
to someone who buys it.
[waves splashing]
[squawking]
[captivating music playing]
[Lojain] I wanted to have
an auction on Women's Day
where all profit goes to support
girls' education in poor countries.
[Farhana] Oh, hello, hello!
Look at this gorgeous, sexy girl.
-Hello, beautiful lady!
-Hello. Good dress!
Thank you. Hi!
-How are you? You look beautiful.
-Good.
Thank you.
[Ebraheem] I received
the invitation to Lojain's auction.
I saw an opportunity
to say what I needed to say.
How are the preparations going?
[kisses] Good?
-Matchy-matchy today.
-You look beautiful.
[gripping music playing]
-[Hanna] No, I'm super consistent.
-[Farhana] Hello.
[Ebraheem] Hello.
[Farhana] I love the kandora, by the way.
It didn't upset me
that he was at the table.
I felt he was the one who would be
uncomfortable, like an outsider.
[both laughing]
[captivating music playing]
[kisses]
[Farhana] No, but it looks amazing!
Why are we on this table?
I don't know!
[Safa] We were sitting
at the same table as Ebraheem.
He was, for the first time, so quiet.
It's like, "Oh, I start at a new school."
"Oh, no, Mommy." And his mommy
is sitting on the other table.
"No, Mommy, don't leave me."
[chuckles] Clearly.
[Lojain] Nice.
Everyone went quiet
knowing that we're starting.
Good evening. Thank you for coming
on this special day,
International Women's Day.
Because the cornerstone
and the first and foremost step
in supporting any woman
starts with her education.
Because as we've always been taught,
education is our weapon.
Being here wouldn't have been possible
without Dubai Cares.
Thank you.
We will start without further ado.
I won't be up here alone.
We have auctioneer Carl. So, Carl.
Thank you very much.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
Can we please have our first item?
On auction this evening,
this wonderful necklace,
going under the hammer tonight.
4,000 dirhams.
Anybody for the 4,000 bid?
At 4,000 to the lovely lady.
Thank you very much.
Can I get 4,500?
Who's gonna take this at 6,000 dirhams?
Any takers at 6,000? Thank you, sir!
The auction symbolized a
desire to help. It also encouraged people.
The lady in the back at 4,500!
Looking for 4,600. Hundred more?
At 100 more!
Let's give it 100 more, sir! Say yes!
[Zeina] What an auctioneer!
Don't you dare make a bid
you're not willing to increase.
Hundred dirhams, 150, 250
Yes, please! 9,000? 9,500.
10,000, 10,500 dirhams?
Oh, my God! He's unbelievable!
[Carl] First one to eleven?
For 12,000, sir?
[Lojain] The bidding was very competitive.
I'm so excited.
Sold at 18,000? Look, at 5,500.
Big round of applause to bidder number 24.
Thank you very much.
Thank you all for coming
and thank you for your generosity.
You did a great job.
The crucial point
always comes at the end of the event
where we announce
the total sum raised today.
The total sum of donations is 151,000.
Thank you very much to everyone.
This amount will be used
for the education of 280 girls
in poor countries for a whole year.
Now I can relax and go home.
Thank you very much.
[Lojain laughs]
[tense music playing]
I don't like to speak in public,
but this was something I had to do.
[feedback from mic]
[Safa] It had to be about him.
Here we go,
he couldn't be quiet for that long.
He has to talk.
-Hello?
-[feedback from mic]
What's happening to this?
-Hello?
-[feedback from mic]
Don't use the microphone.
Don't use it.
Ebraheem wants to deliver a message,
but I cannot figure out his intentions.
Ladies and gentlemen,
it is my absolute pleasure
to be here this evening
amongst you distinguished guests.
-I would first like to thank Lojain Omran.
-[applause]
I would like to also take this opportunity
to thank my mother,
the woman that has always told me
to be humble, kind
and nice to everyone without prejudice.
Upon reflection, I am not
the perfect person.
I'm a man and I do make mistakes.
I don't know
what was on his mind. Honestly
As you know it.
I recently had a conflict with Zeina
and led to an unfortunate event.
Oh, my God!
I want to make it clear
that I do not condone violence,
especially towards women.
This is why I take this publicly
to say I apologize for what's happened.
Oh, my God.
Even though I was not the aggressor,
my heart is bigger than any ego.
And if Zeina comes one foot closer,
I come ten feet closer.
[applause]
I acknowledge and know it's a brave move
to apologize on stage
in front of a room full of, uh, people.
