Nasser:
I thought you two were getting married.
Omar:
Yes, any day now.
Tania:
I'd rather drink my own urine.
Omar:
I hear it can be quite tasty with a slice of lemon.
Papa:
You must be getting married. Why else would you be dressed like an undertaker on holiday?
Omar:
Going to Uncle's house, Papa. He's given me a car.
Papa:
What? The brakes must be faulty. Tell me one thing because there's something I don't understand, though it must be my fault. How is it that scrubbing cars can make a son of mine look so ecstatic?
Omar:
It gets me out of the house.
Papa:
Don't get too involved with that crook. You've got to study. We are under siege by the white man. For us education is power.
[
Omar shakes his head at his father]
Papa:
Don't let me down.

Like me friends?

Ring us then.
Johnny:
I will.

Johnny:
Leave 'em there. We can do something. Now. Just us.
Omar:
I'm being promoted. To Uncle's laundrette.
Papa:
[
throwing a pair of socks to Omar] Illustrate your washing methods!
Johnny:
[
Omar is showing Johnny round the laundrette] I'm dead impressed by all this.
Omar:
You were the one at school. The one they liked.
Johnny:
[
sarcastically] All the Pakis liked me.
Nasser:
[
Nasser bursts into the room where Johnny and Omar made love just moments before] What the hell are you doing? Sunbathing?
Omar:
Asleep, Uncle. We were shagged out.
Salim:
I want to talk to Omar about business.
Johnny:
I dunno where he is.
Salim:
Is it worth waiting?
Johnny:
In my experience it's always worth waiting for Omar.
Johnny:
Fuck me! What's she doing with that mouse?
Nasser:
[
whilst having sex with his lover] Christ, you move like a liner.
Nasser:
Yes... But first we must marry Omar off.
[
Cut to Omar and Johnny making love in the back room]
Johnny:
Ain't nothing I can say to make it up to you. There's only things I can do to show you... That I am with you.
