-Thank you
-Cheers mate
-A party?
-It'll be nice.
-What? Today, just like that?
-Yes! Get everyone together. Bushra, all the aunties.
-Why, What's the hurry?
-Matchmaking?
-Come on, let your aunties help. What harm will it do? -It's too soon.
-Don't want to let the grass grow, do you? Isn't that what your therapist recommends?
-So, Masood thought he'd come out swinging, did he?
-Yeah, well don't worry, your brother gave as good as he got.
-Oh, that how you win your arguments these days is it?
-Step a little closer let's find out shall we? -Don't you tempt me.
-Syed! -Look, Jane..
-What?
-Don't blame them.
-Why not?
-They're good people. Just - -Bigots.
-Doing what they believe in.
-And what do you believe in, Syed?
-When did he say that?
-About half an hour ago.
-I left some of these flyers on the counter.
-Let's have a look, show me.
-"Absacadabra...get the body you promised yourself tomorrow..today."
-"Absacadabra?"
-It's a clever play on words.
-Oh cause that's what people want in a personal trainer, innit?
-A little wit, rock hard abs, what's not to like?
-Are you OK?
-Like nothing ever happened.
-Just wave a magic wand, did ya?
-Absacadabra
-Christian!
-Christian!
-I stopped seeing him. The therapist. There's no point, he can't cure me.
-I could've told you that.
-I don't wanna be cured. I don't wanna be someone else.
-Nah. Not anymore Sy.
-Christian, I told him to get stuffed. Doesn't that mean something? -Not on it's own, no.
-But, I - -You stood up for yourself. Atta boy! Just don't come knocking on my door like you deserve something.
-That's not fair.
-No, you're right. It isn't. Now, you wanna treat yourself, there are plenty of places you can go.
-Treat?
-I'm not your reward.
-How about beef karahi with naan and rice?
-Sorry?
-Food. For the party later. I'll do it.
-Really?
-Yeah, with Gulab Jamun and ice cream to follow, what d'ya think?
-I think you need to get a good cut of beef. Bushra doesn't do stringy meat.
-There you go.
-Sorry, I gave you a tenner.
-It was five.
-Is there a problem?
-Yeah, I gave you a tenner.
-He thinks I'm trying to short change him -No, I know you are.
-What, on account of fact you're pulling a scam?
-No, on account of fact you put my ten pound note in the five pound section.
-Fine, you win.
-Hardly my fault he's trying to pull a fast one, is it?
-Karahi?
-That's the idea.
-Mmm. Mutton or lamb?
-Beef.
-Oh, well I hope it's a good cut, you know auntie Bushra doesn't do - -Stringy meat, I know.
-Thank you.
-It's only a meal.
-No, no, that's not what I meant.
Syed? You made the right decision.
-Yeah, OK.
-And that takes strength.
-What, you think I'm strong?
-More than you realise. More than me. Look, just..let Allah be strong for you. You know? Let Him show you the way.
-What, like He did yesterday?
-That was...well,that was me, that was...that was my stuff. Like I said, you're stronger than I am.
Syed. Allah doesn't test anyone more than they can manage. Do you understand that?
-Yeah.
-Well do me a favour and just trust him a little.
-When you gave this back to me, you said you'd pray that one day, you'd deserve it.
-Do you know how proud I am of you?
-Didn't waste much time, did she?
-Who?
-Mum. Getting auntie Bushra and those lot to sort you out.
-Yeah well, you know what she's like.
-You OK with that?
-Well why wouldn't I be?
-Look, I'm fine! They're trying to help, it makes them happy.
-Yeah, well what about you?
-Think we need some more bowls.
-Is it what you want?
-Look, what I want doesn't matter. Sometimes you can't have everything. Trick is to be happy with what you've got.
-Look who's here!
-I'll get some drinks.
-Oh ho, look at you! Adorable!
-And you! So handsome!
-Bushra's got a good eye, she'll find someone for you.
-I'm still married, remember?
-Technically. -Genuinely!
-You can't stop Bushra now. And somewhere out there is 'The One'. -How can you be so sure?
-Because it is destined, Syed.Because everything that we have been through, everything, has brought us to where we are now.
-You were never meant to be with Amira, I...I understand that now.
-Everything happens for a reason, even if we don't know what it is. All this, it was meant to be.
-Karahi looks fabulous!
-Are you sure you're OK?
-You don't need to worry about me.
-I'm fine.
-You know I love you both very much.
Fi Aman Allah
-Tamwar said we were having Karahi. I hope the meat's not stringy.
-Tam.
-Listen, I..
-here. It's yours now.
-I really tried, Tambo.
-Christian!
-I don't want a reward.
-Tamwar, come and get a plate.
-What's that?
-Nothing.
-Give it to me.
-Dad -
-Please.
-This is Syed's.
-What is it?
-Look Sy, we've been here too many times before.
-Not like this. -What's different?
-I choose you. -Don't.
-Christian - -Don't say things you don't mean.
-After everything we've been through, you think I'm gonna waste anymore time saying something I don't mean?
-You know what the easy thing would be?
-Say nothing. Do nothing. Keep calm and carry on, isn't that what they say?
-Only I can't. I can't stand by while the rest of my family talk about destiny
-and good hips and stringy meat like nothing's happening, like I don't count!
-You know I haven't got the faintest idea what you're going on about?
-You don't have to.
-The thing is, they tell me I can't be gay and a Muslim. Why not?
-Why do I have to choose? -You know why.
-Look, I am the way I am because that's how Allah made me.
-Whatever faults I have, He gave me. Now I am proud of my faith.
-And I am proud that Islam is about peace, and tolerance and celebrating the things that make us different.
-But I need to be proud of who I am.
-Only, I'm gonna need a bit of help.
-I can do that.
-I'm gay and I'm Muslim.
-And I don't think you can go to Hell for having loved.
-Let's go home.
