Little Mosque on the Prairie (2007) s01e08 Episode Script

Playing with Fire

It's a nasty cut.
You have a dangerous job.
I was on kitchen duty, chopping onions.
I'm not exactly the iron chef.
Still, it must take guts.
- Eating my cooking? - No, saving lives.
- You save lives too.
- True.
But you make our COS.
Here we go all wrapped up! Just like you, huh? It's a muslim thing, right? Very good.
Well, we've now reached the limits of my knowledge of muslimism, I guess I've got a lot to learn.
It's Islam, and yes, it's a long story.
I like long stories I'll make pop corn.
Sorry, I've got like fourty patients waiting.
- Maybe some other time - But I'd really like to hear a lot more about Islam, unless it's some kind of secret society or something.
No, don't be silly, you can just pop by our mosque, speak to our imam, it's our minister.
Actually, I might have a pamphlet.
Here, this is for your education, this is for your inflammation.
That way.
He can hose me down any time.
Did you give him your number? What? Nohe just wants to learn about Islam.
Why? He's already a god.
That is blasphemous, I'm getting you a pamphlet.

- You mind? - No.
- Guess what, I read your pamphlet.
- Oh really, that's great.
- Yeah go ahead, test me.
- No that's ok, I believe you.
Common', it'll be fun.
Ok, how many pillars? - Five.
- What are they? Witness prayers charity, fasting and - what's the other one? - A pilgrimage to Mecca? Hajj ! So, what do I win? A car? A dinner for two? Yeah, whatever you like.
Really? Oh, at what time shall I pick you up? Oh no, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to imply anything.
I can't date.
Right I guess that's in another pamphlet.
What did you do to your bandage there? Oh, it kept falling off so I rewrapped it myself.
- Gimme your hand, can I? - Yeah.
He's hot.
- What did you just say? - Nothing.
You should not be looking at the opposite sex.
It's hard not to when your living on planet earth.
Nobody said being a muslim was easy.
Then howcome Rayyan gets to go on a date? Rayyan is an adult, plus she doesn't.
Here we go.
What kind of example is this? There are children present.
Excuse me, we're talking about Islam.
She's a bad example, do not listen to her.
Well it's too late, I already have.
Baber is what muslims would call an extremist.
Babar, like the elephant! Certainly not! I will deal with you later.
Common' Layla, you're grounded.
- What did I do? - Common, come come What's his problem? Yasir, there's been an emergency.
This late delivery is an emergency.
Yasir, this is a real emergency.
What is it? Rayyan? Sarah? Rayyan, was in the cafe, holding hands, with an infidel.
Baber, are you familiar with the definition of the term "emergency"?!? The entire café witnessed the shame.
- Control your daughter! - Control your imagination! As Allah is my witness, I have no imagination, none! - You go talk to her! - I will not! I will not! I completely trust my daughter, completely! They said you were holding his hand.
I was just rebandaging his hand.
I knew there was a perfectly good explanation.
I'm glad I can clear that out.
At Fatima's, why were you doing this at Fatima's? Jeff wanted to learn about Islam.
It makes sense.
- So we're done? - Oh oh, done What kind of normal person has released interest in Islam? You mean besides us muslims, dad? You're right, sorry for giving you the third degree.
I told you it was nothing.
It's nothing.
Hi sweetie, Rayyan I've just heard it, tell me everything.
Everything, since when is nothing everything? Ok, I know it's a small town, how is my private life front page news? Private life? All of a sudden you have a private life? This is worst than I thought.
Everyone talks in Mercy about you and your fireman.
Fire? Fireman? It's worst the worst than I thought.
He's in the firemen calendar.
I'm done, I won't be alive to see this! Dad, calm down! The calendar is for charity, and I am not dating him.
Denial, that's good, that's exactly what I told my mother when I dated that biker.
I am not doing anything.
You have to trust me! Of course we trust you.
I trust you completely, Rayyan.
Good.
- She's up to something.
- Definitely.
You'd better go.
Salam aleikum Layla.
Waleikum salam dad, you're home early, I-I thought you were in a meeting.
- Is that a boy? - My guess would be yes.
My God! Alone with a boy? Well, if I'm with a boy then I'm not alone.
Boy, leave now and never speak to my daughter again.
Dad, we have to study biology! Not until you're married! - What? - This is all because of Rayyan.
But she's the best muslim I know.
That is what I'm afraid of.
It's highly unusual for someone to request the fire inspection of their own premises.
Oh hell you're suggesting that I have some kind of ulterior motive.
What kind of money do you make? What kind of money do you make? - That's none of your business.
- Good answer.
I'm glad to see you have such clearly marked exits.
Why, you're the kind of person that's always looking for a way out? Afraid of commitment? No, I'm afraid of fires.
What's this? That is an outlet cover.
- Do you enjoy being single? - I guess.
- More time to play the field.
- I do fine.
Where is your sprinkler system? - What do you mean fine? - What? You were saying "fine".
If you don't get a sprinkler installed, we will be talking fine.
Adress these changes within 90 days or you're facing a full electrical inspection.
Have a nice day.
So you're saying they were actually holding hands.
I wasn't saying it, I was yelling it! We have to keep that lascivious woman away from that handsome white devil.
He was handsome? What difference does that make? He's an infidel.
Do you think she likes this guy? Who cares? Do something before they lie together.
What would they lie about? I'm talking about the pre-marital relations.
Baber, it's a long way from that surely.
What is wrong with you? Are you having the hots for Rayyan? Of course not! Now you're being insidious.
So you'll do something? I'll get to it, yes.
Soon, or I'll have to take matters into my own hands.
Layla must be protected from the influence of this pop tart.
You sprained your ankle? Yes, weird, huh? - Does this hurt? - No.
- Does this hurt? - No.
- Does this hurt? - You pinched me.
That's cuz there's nothing wrong with you.
I know, I just wanted to see you again.
Ok, there is something wrong with you, you're nuts.
How am I supposed to get to know you better? I'm a doctor, and a muslim, and that's all you need to know.
Ok wait.
Now I do need medical help, my sergent rescue exam is next week, there's a lot of medical stuff.
Oh, medical stuff? You see, I'm lost.
Will you help me cram over dinner? It sounds like you're asking me out on a date.
Well I am.
I can't go on a date.
Well then I'm not.
Will you go on a non date or whatever the muslim equivalent is? Well, that would be doing nothing.
So you're saying tomorrow night is better, right? Look Jeff, it's not you, it's Islam.
Don't take it personally.
Oh no, who takes rejection personally? Don't slam the door.
I failed my biology test because you kicked my study partner out.
You have failed biology because your hormones have filled your head with the boy thinking.
And I failed my English because you tutored me.
Layla, you and I have not seen eye to eye lately, but I have found the perfect compromise.
I didn't think "compromise" was in your vocabulary.
I'm sending you away to an all girl islamic school! And I was right, if you do this, I'll never speak to you again.
Oh yes you will, I'm doing this to save your soul.
I hate you, I hate you You see, you're speaking to me again! As good muslims, we are all obliged to submit.
Now sometimes, submitting is not easy.
But, as good muslims, we must always try to Let me guess : submit? Exactly.
Is this my remedial Islam exam or there's something you wanna tell me? Ok, you can't date a non-muslim man.
I'm not dating Jeff.
Jeff Is there something wrong with the name Jeff? What, you couldn't find a Biff, or a Chuck ? Or a Scottie ? What has gotten into you? Nothing, I am concerned for you, as your imam.
You are not behaving like a proper muslim woman.
So as usual, the rules only apply to women, huh? You are just like every muslim man I've ever met.
Well, why don't you find a nice non-muslim man to date? Oh wait, you already have.
Well, I wasn't dating Jeff, but hey, now that you've mentioned it, what a great idea.
Fatima, my dad is sending me away to an islamic school to become islamobot! Islamic school is just like regular school.
Except the boys, the danses, the fun Don't worry, your father can't live without you so far away.
- I'll talk to him.
- I love you, I love you Hi, Jeff? This is Rayyan.
Good, listen, maybe we should get together after all.
Am I sure? Yes.
I've just talked to my imam and believe me, I'm sure.
Oh, my grandson will have beautiful pecs.
Hello Mr September, colour me fall, - we've got to start a fire! - Give me that, I don't think Jeff would appreciate that you're treating him like a sex object.
Well Jeff should have thought of that before he took off his shirt and strailed up all.
Mom, can you stay home tonight cuz he's coming over for a date.
Rayyan, love has turned your brain to mush, you mean to say your mother should go out.
No I don't, muslims don't allow unchaperoned dating.
- What do exactly muslims allow? - Praying.
So you'll stay home? This is the happiest day of my life, of course I'll stay home.
I'm so glad you're doing something besides work, what made you change your mind about the date? Amaar.
You see, he is the progressive imam you thought he was.
Oh, he's nothing like I thought he was.
Sending your own little daughter away? You're an impossible man.
I am totally possible! My relatives in Pakistan say I am a perfect father.
- Perhaps too perfect, but - Only a man would think to send his daughter away to strangers.
Only a woman would think that only a man would think that.
Oh, stop trying to confuse me! Clearly you thought this through, you made up your mind.
I am entirely comfortable with my decision but, there is one thing that bothers me.
How am I going to live without her? So you called me in for cultural sensitivity training, I don't understand, I love muslims.
- That's clear.
- Great.
I just wanna make sure you know the rules, Jeff.
Well if you mean the five pillars, no problem.
I'm talking about physical contact between the sexes.
A man is not allowed to touch a muslim woman.
Unless he's her brother, her father or her husband.
Not even if she needed mouth to mouth? You keep your mouth away from her.
She'd be unconscious.
You'd kiss an unconscious woman? Who's talking about kissing? Men like you skip that stuff, don't they? Men like me? What does that mean? Men, who pose in nude calendars.
I don't wanna be culturally insensitive here but, what the hell? And he said it isn't what, and I quote, "I play the field".
His own words? Well I'm assuming.
But these guys, they're all alike.
So the guys goes on other dates, that's not so terrible, is it? - Yes it is.
- No, he dates one girl, and then he dates another.
- Perfectly reasonnable - Yeah, the most recent girl happens to be our daughter.
And that's when your logic falls appart cuz Breathe.
It's not as if you're going halfway around the world.
You're only going to Michigan.
It is the culturalistic home of the Henry Ford Museum.
But you'll get to learn about the religion, and many of the classes are taught in Arabic! Will you two get out of my way, please? I have an idea, why don't the person who's on a date answer the door? - Don't ruin this for Rayyan.
- I'm her father, it's my job to ruin it for her.
- This is my mom.
- Hi, I'm Sarah.
How are you doing, I'm Jeff, nice to meet you.
- That's for you.
- Oh, a fire extinguisher, you shouldn't have.
Oh, I know it looks expensive, but we get 'em for free.
- You're here? - Oh yeah, this is my dad, - do you know each other? - Oh, I know a lot about Jeff.
Strictly business, fire inspection at the mosque! Yeah, more like a fireman inspection.
Yasir, you and I oh my we have some ironing to do upstairs.
- I can't go upstairs.
- Yes,you can, you see that staircase we've installed, that makes it easy, one foot in front of the other.
There's no need for you to stand centric, dear.
I'll believe that when you'll stop strangling your little lamb.
Look, look, I'm fine.
Suitly fine, here I am.
Good, cuz we have to trust our daughter.
Do we have to trust Mr September? What's for dinner? Couscous? Curry? Close, it's Shepherd Pie.
Oh, I love ethnic food.
Well I hope it's not too spicy.
Hey, you're nervous.
It's really sweet.
You don't have to be, come here.
I can't do this.
I'm confused, when a woman invites a man over for dinner Jeff, my parents are upstairs.
- Okay, let's go out.
- No, we can't go out.
If I understand, you invited me on a date, didn't you? Yes, but I shouldn't have.
I was angry, I wasn't thinking, and I guess I was using you.
Ok that's cool, I don't mind being used.
I'm user friendly.
This was a big mistake, and it was my mistake.
But I think you'd better go.
I guess the extinguisher was the right choice as a gift.
Are you hurt? Are you alright? Cuz if he laid a hand on you, I'll He didn't hurt me, I hurt him.
It's all right, he was beneath you.
He never stood a chance.
I have to go to the mosque, and pray.
I'll drive you, I have some work to do against the code, I think we're in for a regress fire inspection.
Salam aleikum, Baber.
Aleikum salam.
- What's wrong, brother? - Daughters.
You and me both.
Layla's hysterical, she's been crying for two days, and it's all your daughter's fault.
Leave Rayyan out of this, she just broke up with her fireman.
- She did? - It's devastating.
How terrible.
Now, I must go cancel Layla's flight to Michigan.
- I hope she won't be disapointed.
- She shall be devastated.
Guilty conscience? Just so you know, I broke up with Jeff.
And I'm sorry, you were right, I'll never date a non-muslim again.
Hang on, what did you say? I said I'll never date a non-muslim again.
No, before that.
I said, you were right.
Islam is too important to me.
I'm glad you see that.
Jeff would have never understood.
He's too shallow.
When did you have the opportunity to find him shallow? Oh, you know, it's a small town, you're bumping into people.
Shallow people.
- Oh common'! - Ok, I might have called the fire department.
But you know, by mistake.
Kinda like when I made the mistake of apologizing.
It is never a mistake to apologize.
Oh, well then let's hear you do it.
Ok fine, I'm sorry.
- Thank you.
- I'm sorry I care so much.
- That's not an apology.
- I'm sorry you lost your way.
You're just making bad excuses.
I'm sorry, nothing I ever say seems to work.
Well that's obvious.
I am sorry I'm here.
Oh, well now we're getting somewhere.
And I am sorry that you're here too.
Now you're just playing with me.
Oh I'm not playing, I am dead serious.
- Then why are you smiling? - I'm not smiling.
I'm growling.
I didn't hear you.
Well that's because you never listen to me.
