Sort of Janazah
Salaam alaykum, Aunty.
Hello.
Yes, Imam Saab.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Everything is okay.
Maybe we give mother
and children some space.
Coroner said it was heart failure.
He had a stent that he had put in
in Dubai about two months ago.
He had, like, surgery
and he didn't tell us?
Yeah.
They put him on a diet
he wasn't following.
The coroner knew all that?
No, uh, Uncle.
And you found him?
He went up for his afternoon nap.
I went upstairs with the chai,
and I put it on the table
beside him.
He wasn't breathing.
Imam Saab has confirmed
some arrangements.
The body will be moved
from the coroner
to the masjid in the morning.
We may now call family and friends.
Sabi, can I talk to you?
So, the men in the family are
required to clean your father's body
before the funeral service.
I can't deal with this
right this second.
It's not a problem.
I will do it with Kareem
and Imam Saab.
You arrive at the mosque
with your mother and sister.
-Okay.
-But, as the son,
you are required to lead the salat
before the body is buried.
This is non-negotiable.
I can help you practice the prayer.
I've forwarded you a video
of an imam reciting it on YouTube.
You sent me a YouTube link?
Yes.
What's a stent?
Angioplasty.
Opens arteries.
Okay.
So, for the funeral
maybe keep the outfit simple.
How could you not tell us
about the surgery?
He said he had it under control.
He didn't want to add
other stress to the family.
Yeah, well
I don't want tomorrow to happen.
Tomorrow already sucks.
I have to, like, be in front of
all these people.
Aqsa won't even look at me
for some reason,
and I have no
funeral-appropriate gloves to wear.
Listen to my words.
You're gonna get through this.
Tomorrow doesn't have to make sense
to anyone including you.
It doesn't matter
who's looking at you,
or how they're looking at you,
or why, okay?
And I have a sickening pair
of gloves you can borrow.
Are they funeral-appropriate?
I have so much funeral-appropriate
attire, it's freaky.
So, did you get the YouTube link?
Yes.
Just want to make sure you are okay
with doing the Janazah prayer.
I'm good.
Okay.
I remember once,
when we were children,
there was a rat.
Big. Feral.
It was attacking me.
Imran Bhai bludgeoned it to death
with a shovel.
When you told me that story before,
he killed it with his bare hands.
-I said that?
-Yes.
Hmm.
I need air.
Okay.
Heads-up. Here's the thing
about the seating arrangement
at this kind of a funeral.
Everyone gets into
an odd number of rows.
Men, they go in the front.
And the women go in the back.
Umm, hi.
Hey.
Bessy sends condolences.
She isn't feeling well
Are the kids here?
Yeah.
Why is that woman staring at us?
I guess we're too close together.
Oh.
There they are.
Come on.
Sabi.
Sabi. Continue the Sal&amacrt al-Jan&amacrzah.
Sabi? The prayer?
We must continue.
He loved you very much.
Sabi, he's now with Allah.
Is it stupid to ask
how you're doing?
Yeah.
So, how you doin'?
Is it stupid to ask
if you wanna hook up tonight?
Wow.
Wow, um
Is this,
would this be like a grief sex?
Fully. I wanna fuck the sad away.
I mean, as long as we're both aware.
I'm aware.
And now, I'm aware.
Great.
Thanks for coming.
I'm gonna go check on my mum.
Hey, doll. I've gotta run.
I'm so sorry.
-Let me call you next week, okay?
-Totally.
Very beautiful woman.
Hey. Umm, is everything feeling okay
for y'all?
I mean, this is all so weird.
Ancient rituals are beautiful
and hilarious.
I appreciate you finding
humour in this.
We're heading straight to the club.
And we have it under control,
you take your time.
You come when you want to.
You don't need to
if you don't wanna.
I'll be there. I just have one thing
I have to do before.
And Sabi supposed to feed it.
It was a mouse.
Anyways
I'm wondering if you kids could
do something for me.
Yeah. Of course.
Stop growing right now.
Done.
You're here.
Yeah. I am.
Can you come with me?
I have to show you something.
-Look.
-What?
-Look!
-What?
Look with your heart, not your eyes.
Please tell me
what we're looking at?
It's us!
Pre-Broke Back Mountain.
-Hey! It is us.
-Come on.
Please leave those
poor children alone.
Hi! We're from the future.
We come with wisdom.
There's no country
where you can be yourself
-until you can be yourself in here.
-Oh, my God.
No matter how you justify it,
it never works well to have
a threesome with your boss.
Don't worry about herpes.
You probably already have it.
And don't kid yourself.
The only way to be happy in life
is to help those around you.
And you, you are very good-looking.
Give me this.
This is amazing.
It's amazing, the vibe!
It's so it is so diverse,
and inclusive, and inter
-What's that? Inter
-Galactic?
-No, no.
-Uh, racial. Interracial.
-Sectional?
-Sectional. Yeah. Intersectional.
-Who gave him the molly?
-Oh.
-Oh, hey.
-Hey.
You're here.
Yes, I am.
It's so good.
-You okay?
-You okay?
You see it out there?
How amazing it looks?
-People actually came.
-Right?
I mean, Deenzie is, like,
beside himself.
Mm.
How are you?
Not good.
I'll see you in there.
Wow. It's amazing to see you out.
You look, like, healthy.
And, like, tall.
Did you say tall?
Yeah, I did. I don't know why.
It's a little loud.
I don't know if I can go in.
That's fine.
I wanted to call you all day.
You made things really complicated.
What I did wasn't okay.
I felt so wild today.
Like, so out of control.
Like
I wanted to punch every person who
told me how much my dad loved me.
Did you love him?
I don't know.
That's, like, such an obvious
question that no one asked me.
Thank you for asking me that.
-You're welcome.
-No, Bessy, seriously. Thank you.
-It's no problem.
-Thank you so much.
You should walk away.
Right now.
Please.
