"A Shahid Original: The Other Thing"
"The Other Thing" "The Day Before Yesterday"
You like big parties, eh?
Only if they are cool, if not...
I just split
Walid!
- Hello, Ms. Lobna - Park it near, please, I won't be long
Sure, you got it
- Hello, Bob - Hiya, your mobile, please?
- Bobo! - Hey, mate!
Bob wants a joint
- And let me keep the phone? - Definitely!
No, I don't drink
- Hi, Lobna - Hi
You don't know me, but I saw you many times with Yusef
Whisky, please!
- What do you think of her? - Her who?
His girlfriend
She's so cute!
Rather, too sweet!
Why is she here?
No problem, it's how my birthday party always goes
- Any friend of ours can show up - Well, she's not a friend of ours
Supposedly, you are done with her
No, I am not done with her
It's just our relationship is different now,
I kiss you this way
For her, just a peck on the cheek
Gotcha!
- You're too strong to fight back, Fekry - You know how it goes here
- What do you say now? - It's perfectly fine
Give me back the phone, then
No, you'll the take the mobile from Bob after the party ends
- Enjoy! - Easy on my shoulder, man!
- I'll go mingle - I'm here if you get bored
- How are you doing? - Hi
So, you are...
Come on, Salma, I'm Lobna
- How is Gendy? - He's pissed with me
Won't you both ever grow up?
Never mind, let him be! It's a chance to be on my own a bit
We were inseparable!
I want to ask you about something
- Where to score drugs? - For you?
I was sure you're playing the innocent with Yusef
Fine, anyway
Hamed El-Gamed
Is he discreet or may spill the beans?
He's discreet
I want some
I'll be right back
- Want some of what? - Salma told me you got...
Hush down!
I don't want this to go public! I have it for certain people
- I won't tell a soul! - Enough! Everybody knows now!
Even if you don't tell, they'll find out anyway
I'll take you to a secret spot that nobody knows
You'll make me trip and fall!
- This is the secret spot? - Definitely not here!
Are you Yusef's sister?
Wish I were his sister
Come on
Here we are
Lobna!
Wanna give it a try? Go try it with some friends
Why'd you try this with a stranger in a locked bathroom?
But I know you, you're Hamed El-Gamed
You, too! I thought we were just getting acquainted
You're quite infamous!
Get done, this may boost your business
No, I don't think so, I only got dope for me and my friends
If I do this I'll be taking a risk
I am the one taking the risk here, not you
Well, how about neither of us taking any risks?
Got me?
Are you a dealer or a social worker?
I just don't wanna get in trouble
Give me a try, I'll be good, you'll have won a new client
I can't believe this! I am trying to talk a dealer into selling me drugs!
- I'm not a dealer - A doctor, then?
Yeah, I am a doctor
Can we get this over with? We're not spending the night in this bathroom
Cool... cool
- Know the going rate? - Whatever
What is this?
What am I supposed to do with it? Withdraw money from the toilet tank?
You can keep it
I'll give you some for free, firstly, because you're Yusef's sister
Secondly, because it is your first time
I thought I'd like it
Well, you may like it, you may not
It's none of my business
You're gonna sniff just a bit now, okay?
Here
Lovely...
So, how do you feel?
- Feels just lovely, right? - Cool, it feels cool
You're really cool yourself!
I am so happy I met you
I am not here to get me a boyfriend
Yeah, I get that, you're here to do drugs
This is a gift for you
Hey, why are you so hyped up?
The music is too loud out there, nobody will hear us
Hold on, I'll call someone to come up and let us out
Oh, darn it! They took the mobiles at the entrance!
Yusef! Yusef! Anybody!
Yusef!
Are you okay?
I am claustrophobic
Don't panic, don't panic
Easy! You'll break the knob
Let me try...
So sorry, are you okay?
- Let me see... okay - I'm fine, I'm fine
- I am sorry, so sorry - I'm fine
I'm sorry
No medicine cabinet in here, or what?
Yeah, there is none
- Look, let me do this - No
- It may hurt a bit - Don't! Don't!
- It's okay, I'm sorry - No! Hands off!
So sorry. I'm sorry
They do this in movies only
- You had me disfigured! - Disfigured!
Drop the drama! It'll heal in a couple of days!
What to do now, smarty?
Your friend is nowhere to be seen
Think she may have hooked up with a new guy?
She may have taken him upstairs
Mira, I really don't like such suggestions
Chill and stop walking around, just sit somewhere
- Don't worry, they'll find us - Sure, they will, at dawn
When Yusef overdrinks and comes here to puke all over us!
What matters is that we're found!
We're quite entertained in here anyway in this beautiful place
Yeah, so charming!
Hey, let me...
You got this bottle, why not a glass too?
Sorry
- Got cigs, then? - Yeah, I do
No, these aren't real cigs, they suck!
- Never mind, then - Come on, I'm just kidding, come on
I don't know... how this works
What do you think of Yusef's new girlfriend?
A real stunner! But they just got together recently
So, everything is rosy in the garden, dunno about later
I get you
- How long were you together? - Three months
What a shame! Everyone thought he'd settle with a steady girlfriend
Yusef will never settle, but I settled for being a loser!
Why did you come over then? Miss him?
No, I came to have fun at the party
Yusef's parties are too good to miss
Yeah, his parties are awesome!
Why do you think everyone likes to come to Yusef's parties?
Because he's a fab host?
Or because he bans mobile phones in here and makes people feel safe?
Yeah, could be, and also, he is good-looking
Many girls may come over because he's good-looking
What about you? Also, came here because he's good-looking?
Why did you break up?
It was meant to happen
What does this mean?
I'm pregnant
This is a huge problem
This is why I called you
Don't worry, I'll handle it
- What will you do to handle it? - I don't know yet, just don't worry
I'll work it out
Why are you here? For business?
No, it's a hobby of mine
- What do you do in life? - Practically everything
You're probably jobless with nothing to do
- Are you an interpreter, or something? - Why so?
You keep erroneously interpreting my words
- Know what? I may give it a go - Till you do,
- what kind of job do you have now? - I am a banker
A petty employee! Why are you acting so high and mighty then?
Claustrophobic since when?
Yeah, this is a term I cannot spell out correctly. Claus...
- Claustrophobic - Claustrotropic, yeah! Exactly
Not sure, since a long time
The worst thing today is that I am a claustrotropic...
and stuck in a bathroom
Bathrooms are my worst nightmare
I go to the bathroom and keep the door open
- But there must be others at home - No, I live alone
Keep the bathroom door open in other places, too?
No, when I am not at home, I only go to bathrooms when I really have to!
Well, this bathroom is probably bigger than your place!
Yeah, this is true, but why nitpick now?
Me too, my worst experience ever was in a bathroom
I am quite impressed, you're quite fearless
- What do you mean? - Any other girl,
locked in a bathroom, with a guy she doesn't know
would probably be screaming hysterically by now
not drinking together
It's quite obvious who the real man here is!
I am also impressed you have not tried to come on to me
Come on, there are loads of real men around here!
Doesn't matter
I want some more dope
Come on, level with me, why are you really here?
To be honest, I don't buy you only came here to have some fun
I came to show him that I'm just fine now
That it makes no difference to me he has a new girlfriend
in less than a month after breaking up
Does it really make no difference to you?
Easy, easy
It really makes no difference to me
But I doubt that I got my feet on the ground
I feel now as if I got my head on the ground!
I came to prove to myself that I am okay, so, what do you think?
Do I look okay?
It doesn't matter how you look, the thing is how you feel
Okay!
Okay
I started taking the medicine you brought me today
I'm too scared to spend the night alone
Can I spend the night here?
No problem
Lobna! Lobna! Are you okay?
Grab the wheelchair!
- I'll get my wallet and come back - Alright, sir
I am so sorry
I am okay... okay
Seems I overdid it
Or maybe it is that bad hit in the head!
By the way, you're so sneaky
I can't believe I am stuck here in this bathroom
all this time, but did not have a panic attack
Seems the guys down there are having a wild time
Most probably, Yusef won't come up here anytime since he overdrinks!
Doesn't matter
Right, doesn't matter
Well, there is something else that does matter now
I wanna pee
- You absolutely have to! - Yeah!
Okay, I'll keep my eyes shut
- Alright, just don't peep - Right
- Don't look - Lift the toilet seat!
- Don't look! - Just lift the toilet seat
- Don't make noises! - How can I not do that?
Cover your ears, then. Don't look!
Done
It's been a cool night anyway
It sure is better than down there, with all the loud music
Are you hungry?
I've not eaten a thing since yesterday
I am starving myself
When we're done here, I'll take you for an awesome meal
Like spicy food?
Are you okay?
No, here... you're fine. Stay with me, open your eyes
Stay with me, look at me!
Oh no! Look at me! You're awake, eh? Stay with me!
Are you okay?
Hamed!
Welcome back!
You're always panicky!
You've been getting me panicked since I met you!
Since you met me!
That was just last night
No, the day before yesterday. I swear
You've zoned out for a whole day
What did the doctors say?
That my wife should never do drugs on an empty stomach! Yeah, I swear
They didn't know I had no idea what my so-called wife's name was!
It's Lobna
- I'm Ahmed Hamed - Hamed El-Gamed!
I hate this nickname! Please, don't!
- That was some birthday party! - You bet!
