Abboud at Home (2023) Movie Script

1
Since the beginning of the pandemic,
sectors of the Ministry of Health
have been working tirelessly.
Detection, prediction and response
applications have been activated
which are recommended by WHO,
and adopted by the Ministry of Health
as precautionary and preventive measures
against diseases, pandemics and outbreaks
spreading regionally and worldwide.
The Ministry of Health has also activated
the emergency contingency plan
to limit the spread of these diseases.
This is unbelievable.
LABORATORY &X-RAY
It's the seventh fatality.
The poor woman has a daughter.
What will I tell her family?
What can we do? It's God's destiny.
- Do you need anything?
- No, thanks.
DURING PARTIAL LOCKDOWN
LOCKDOWN STARTS AT 9:00 PM
- Hello?
- Hey!
- Hey, Munira, dear. Are you still at work?
- Yes, it's very hectic.
Where are the kids?
Where do I start? I've been self-isolating
for three nights now.
We only see each other from a distance.
You know,
we come in contact with positive cases
so I fear I might be positive
and infect them with the virus.
Then let me take them
to stay at my house for the time being.
No, Noura.
I don't want to trouble you,
you're pregnant.
Besides, you have your own kids
and husband to take care of.
You have enough on your plate.
Oh, come on! I'll go pick them up, period.
Call them and tell them
Aunt Noura is taking them
to the beach house
to spend ten days there.
They will have fun
and you will be at ease.
If you can spare some time,
you can also drop by.
Fine. But please, Noura,
take good care of them.
You know,
if it wasn't for the coronavirus,
I wouldn't send them away for a second.
Don't worry. I'll take good care
of sweet Abboud and Sarah, dear.
Well, let me call Salem
to arrange a few things with him.
All right. Goodbye.
No. Why would I go to the beach house?
It's a long and tough drive to Khafji.
No, man.
Say, tell Father and Mother
that my colleagues
and I are self-isolating at the ranch.
It's because we've been in contact
with someone who tested positive.
Well, what else can I do?
I have to wait for the swab results.
Oh! I see. But what about your kids?
I really feel ashamed
to ask you this, Salem.
But could you, please,
take them to the beach house?
If you can't, please drive them
to their aunt's or grandmother's.
No, don't worry.
I'll take them to the beach house.
If your test result
turns out to be negative, swing by.
God willing. It's settled then.
That's very generous of you, dear Salem.
I'll definitely let you know
once the test result is out.
Godspeed!
Oh, boy!
So, your sister's kids, and the kids
of my brother Soud who just called me,
and my mother asked me to go
and pick up my sister's kids as well.
Well, we are faced with a reality
that we need to deal with, Salem.
Reality? There's so many of them,
our house will turn to a kindergarten!
Okay,
then we will not go there in one car.
I'll pick up the girls with my car,
and your car
is spacious enough for all the boys.
So, you can pick them all up
and get on with it, okay?
I mean, are you willing
to put up with their nuisance?
No. I hope they'll behave like good kids.
Very well then. As you wish.
I am Zaghnaboot,
I can mess with you
but you can't mess with me.
Are you trying to fool me here?
You'd better be extra careful!
Strike him!
Please have mercy. Enough.
For the love of God!
Don't move. Strike him.
Yes. Hold still. Wait!
Yes, there you go.
This is how you do a good job,
unlike this dork over there!
- Strike him! Harder!
- No, please don't!
Strike him harder!
You! Zip it!
Unbelievable! Hey, birdbrain!
Is your head in the clouds?
No, I'm just distracted by your stupidity.
Tell me,
why do you always go to the wrong place?
Are you sure
you go to the designated place?
Wow! You're right.
This is what baffles me.
Whenever I go to a place,
they get me, although it's a new place.
It's because you go to the same place.
You just change the timing
by going there at noon or night,
don't you?
I do. Sometimes I go in the morning
and other times at night, you know?
- That explains it.
- But I think I know the reason.
I think they're tracking me by my shoes.
They must be "bagging" me.
"Bagging"? At least say it right.
- What is it?
- It's "bugging," man!
I see! So they can catch me.
But don't worry at all.
If that's the case, then let's swap shoes.
What a brilliant idea!
Brilliant! I have yet another better idea.
- Enlighten me.
- It's
remember the house
we went to the other day?
- Where we delivered food?
- Yes.
They're going to Khafji
and they'll stay for a long time there.
- How long exactly?
- Well, this long, give or take.
They might even extend their stay
until it's halfway through the semester.
So, summer break
and halfway through the term?
- Touch.
- Okay.
You know,
they have this gold-plated sword.
I know about tried and tested swords,
not gold-plated ones!
This is a new joke!
I'll give you full marks for it.
Did you like it?
If we get this gold, man,
we can stop stealing for good and retire.
We'll get ourselves a beach house
and wear nice shorts and outfits.
If you don't like shorts, you can sell
them and furnish the beach house.
Did you really like it?
- It's very funny.
- Man!
It's the first time
you laughed at my jokes.
- You nailed it with this one.
- Really?
- It's very funny.
- Sell your shorts and furnish a house.
If you don't have a beach house...
- What?
- Speak of the devil. They're here.
See? The whole family is here.
- Were you lying to me?
- Why?
They're back with their luggage.
So, how is it possible
they're going away?
Dude! They just bought them.
They will be traveling tomorrow.
Focus with me here, man!
- I see!
- Just focus.
- I love their colors, though.
- Yes. They're beautiful.
Say,
what song are they playing in the car?
Listen to me. I have this contest for you.
I want each one of you to run
on one leg until you reach that desk.
Whoever gets there first,
will be the winner.
- Okay, deal.
- Deal?
- Deal.
- Let's go.
I want the rest to cheer them.
- Yes.
- Noura, focus. You're the referee.
Okay.
One,
two, go!
Abboud!
- Abboud! Abboud! Abboud!
- Abboud! Abboud! Abboud!
He pushed me.
- You pushed me!
- No, I did not!
Hold on, hold on.
Seriously?
You're fighting over a silly game?
Come here. It's no big deal.
You are both winners, okay?
Abboud? What's gotten into you?
Your mother and others told me
that you have a sharp tongue
and you don't listen.
No, buddy.
A good boy listens to his mother.
All right.
And you? I'm told
that your school grades aren't that good.
I want you to be a straight-A student.
- Okay.
- You two,
if you don't behave,
you won't come with us to the beach house.
Hello.
- Hello!
- Hello, nice to see you!
What? Did you come to my house
to greet each other?
No, sir.
One must always greet people back.
I know that.
- What is it?
- Sir, we would like to run
- CPR tests.
- You mean PCR.
But I memorized it as CPR.
It's PCR. We don't need to fight
over scrambled letters now.
Are you feeling okay?
You don't seem sane.
- No, sir. The questionnaire.
- Yes.
We want you to complete
a questionnaire, sir.
And we'd really appreciate it
if you praised us by giving us a like.
Subscribing will be good too.
Guys, we've already been tested
and we're good.
So, if there's nothing else,
get going. We are busy.
I know. You're traveling, right?
How do you know that?
Well Saffron told me.
You know, sir, Kuwait is pretty small,
and we all know everything.
He told you we don't need the test.
You can't force us to get tested.
Please, help us out here.
We can't turn back to the Ministry
empty-handed. Our manager will punish us.
Listen! Go to our neighbors.
They might be useful to you. Go on.
- Who shall I say sent me?
- Have you no shame?
- Nice name! Pleased to meet you.
- What's his name again?
It's "you have no shame at all"!
- Yes, remember him? The one
- Come on. Move it!
- Go on. Come on!
- What a family!
Why are you looking at me like that?
You're killing me here, man!
- Oh! Come here, boy!
- What boy? I hit you.
- You?
- Just draw the map already.
Just try to remember, man.
Try to remember
so we can get on with it. I have no time.
- I remember...
- Yes? How many rooms?
- How many entrances are there?
- Wait, be quiet.
- Four rooms.
- So, four rooms?
- Yes, write that down before I forget.
- Four rooms, got it.
- How many bathrooms?
- Four.
- Four bathrooms.
- Yes. Two of them I mean
- Two living room.
- Two living room?
You mean two living rooms?
- Yes. Two living room.
- Two living room.
Yes. One in the center
and the other one on the side.
Two living rooms.
Okay, how many entrances?
- You were on the roof, right?
- Right.
How many entrances
did you see from up there?
There were 19 entrances.
Three of them are for emergencies
and four for the guests.
Are you sure you're talking
about this very house?
- Yes.
- You're talking about a residential block!
- Are there entrances and exits?
- Yes, yes.
Nice. Look, based on your input
which you're not sure of,
and based on my expertise
in security devices and robbery,
I guess the weak point
in this house is the side door.
- The one that blocks Messi.
- Yes, the back right door.
- Do you understand?
- Yes, I do.
- Ask me why.
- Tell me why.
It's because they have a watchdog there.
- How smart!
- I means it's a weak spot.
- So, it's the weakest point.
- Right.
So, they put a dog there
to tighten the security.
- Right.
- So, it becomes a secure point.
Wow, man! Just wow!
Now, based on what you said,
in addition
to my observations and conclusions,
I decided to rob the house.
Good for you.
But you didn't ask me
about what I'm going to steal.
No, I'm the one who didn't tell you.
Remember what happened
when I made that delivery?
- Yes.
- It was a big deal.
So, what am I going to steal?
- Yes, I'll tell you.
- Go ahead, I'm all ears.
Shall I write it down or what?
What took you so long?
I'm sorry, but I had a "fresh" situation.
By the way, I got here sooner,
but I dropped the order, and
Once I got here, there was this
this poor guy. So sorry I'm late.
But what do you need
all this security for?
You have a watchdog,
17 doors and a security code.
What is this? A bank? A bank maybe?
Dad tells me not to talk to strangers
or tell them our secrets.
You know nothing as it is.
Your parents tell you nothing
for you're just a kid in their eyes.
They consider you a very little baby.
No, I'm not a little baby.
I'm ten years old.
I know things.
For example, we have an antique sword.
My grandpa inherited it
from his great grandpa.
It's worth millions.
It dates back
to the era of Alexander the Great
- when he used to live in Failaka.
- Wow! Alexander lived in Failaka?
That explains
why I saw him in the avenues there.
Didn't you know that?
No. How would I know he lived in Failaka?
Well, that dog of yours, what's its name?
- Baku.
- Baku?
Is it a direct or a transit flight?
You are so shrewd, man.
The sword of Alexander the Great?
How did you find out?
Do you even know
who Alexander the Great is?
Sure Right, who is he exactly?
It's because you're an idiot.
You don't know these important people.
Is that so? Well, do you know
who Alexander the Great is?
I have his number, but I never called him.
Fine then, let's focus on stealing
Alexander the Great's sword.
- I must be honest with you.
- What is it?
- I have cynophobia.
- What?
- There's a dog.
- What is wrong with you?
That's a real shame. You have
this big mustache and you fear dogs?
- Enough of that already, man!
- Dog!
Unbelievable. Isn't this coronavirus
madness going to end?
The problem is that each website
gives you different info.
I really don't know which one to believe.
Well, let's do as agreed, Salem.
Please, okay?
Yes.
Guys? Tell the other kids
to come down here.
And tell Abboud and Abboud
to stop playing PlayStation,
- because I'll get dinner ready. Go on.
- Yes, Aunt.
That's truly something.
They have the same name.
Why would anyone in the family
name their kids
after any family member called Abboud?
It is really confusing to us.
You call that Abboud, the other answers.
And you call the other Abboud
and the other boy answers.
- Yes. I know.
- That's a real problem.
And this is the house.
A door there.
So, four rooms, right?
So, there are four rooms here,
right, Saffron?
Saffron? How many
bathrooms did you
- Saffron!
- Police? Oh God!
What are you talking about?
May the police rid me of you!
- I'm awake, I'm awake.
- You're not!
- No, I'm awake.
- How many rooms did you say?
Okay, and how many bathrooms?
Cool.
How many exits?
I know that you two don't like this food.
You'd rather have burgers, sushi, etc.
This meal is full of protein.
Fava beans are really good for your body.
Hey, listen.
- As we agreed, I'll take the boys along.
- And I'll take the girls along.
I'll get my car's tires checked tomorrow.
You know, it's a long drive,
so I must get them checked.
Yes. I'll take the girls
and head to the beach house.
I was thinking of going to a toy store
to buy them some toys to have fun with.
- Yes, I want fireworks.
- I want the Enhash Yaltheeb board game.
Uncle? I also want some candy and snacks.
You got it.
I will buy you everything you want.
But you must have your dinner
and sleep early.
Come on, guys. Get in.
- Get in, my dears.
- Uncle?
Yes, dear?
I know it's none of my business,
but I find it strange that the codes
for your credit card and the door
are the same as my father's date of birth.
Yes, dear. You're right.
That code makes me feel safe.
There was this one year when I got sick.
I had this illness in the kidneys,
far be it from you.
So, I had a surgery.
Your father donated his kidney to me.
From that moment on, and for any password,
I choose your father's date of birth.
Uncle? Aren't you exaggerating a bit?
- Doesn't that make you cry?
- No.
- I'll try harder.
- How do you open the house doors?
Wait a minute,
why do you need all this security?
- I mean, it's a house, not a bank.
- Good question, Abboud.
Did you happen to see
the sword on the wall?
Yes, we did.
I inherited that sword
from my great grandfather.
It's an antique sword
and it is worth a fortune.
Not only that,
the sword dates back to the 17th century.
Good evening.
Hello! A very good evening to you!
- I want a milkshake.
- Oh! I hope it's not serious?
Was it detected by the sonar
or diagnosed by a doctor?
- I want a milkshake, the drink.
- I see! The drink! No, dear.
You're still very young.
You don't need that heart illness.
- Try this dragon fruit smoothie.
- Mister! I want a milkshake. What is this?
Why risk your health?
How old are you anyway?
- I'm 17.
- Perfect.
This drink is for 17 and a half.
Drink it after midnight.
I want a milkshake!
Are you going to make it for me or not?
- What's wrong? What is it?
- Just acting out a TV scene.
Hello. What am I seeing?
How gorgeous!
May you be protected against the evil eye!
No, that's wrong.
You should be formal with her.
- Really?
- I swear. She rebuked me.
How can I help you?
I want a milkshake
but he wants to give me whatever that is.
This is the best milkshake we have.
It's our special mix.
Thanks. Learn from him how to be nice.
I hope I was able to help!
We, Anise and Saffron, thank you!
What is that?
Is she a customer at a bank or something?
- These are good manners.
- Good manners?
- What's wrong with you?
- And by the way,
- this one is on the house.
- Thanks!
Try it without the straw,
it'll taste even better.
Okay.
Why did you give her
He tricked you.
It's the same juice I gave you.
- Where does she live?
- I don't know.
- Let me make sure she doesn't get lost.
- No, buddy!
It'll be bad for our business.
We want to do good.
Listen, if you like it,
please come back again.
Come back again even if you don't like it.
Hey, Abboud and Abboud.
- Hello.
- Hello, Uncle.
Let me introduce you to Baku.
He guards the side door.
Come closer. Don't be afraid.
The more you pet and feed him,
the friendlier he gets.
Yes, there you go.
- Like this?
- Yes, exactly like this.
Try it, Abboud. Don't be afraid, come on.
- No, I'm not afraid.
- But Uncle,
suppose a thief comes,
then pets and feeds him, what then?
Dear, this dog is very smart.
He can differentiate
between a friend and an enemy.
Oh, I've just remembered.
I must go to the supermarket
to buy him some dog food
that'll last him
until the time we get back.
Do you want to come along?
Yes, but it's nearly time
for curfew, Uncle.
Don't worry. We have time.
If we go to the beach house,
who will feed Baku?
I told our neighbors' driver
to take care of him
whenever I travel or leave the house.
So, he'd feed him and take care of him.
He knows what to do.
Listen, guys.
I want you to buy
three cans exactly like this one.
Look, you must bring
the same brand and everything.
- Okay.
- Chicken flavor for guard dogs.
- Exactly. Got it?
- Got it.
Here is the credit card.
Of course, you know the passcode.
- Sure. It's Dad's date of birth.
- Smart kid.
Listen, you are big kids,
and I'm counting on you, okay?
Once you're done,
come back to the car, all right?
- Okay.
- I'll go to the bakery.
I want to check if it's closed temporarily
or for good.
Then, I'll get back to the car.
This is our meeting spot.
- Okay.
- Off you go.
- Don't forget your face masks.
- We have them.
- Let's go, Abboud.
- Let's go.
Here we go.
- Uncle!
- Oh, God!
- You startled me, boy!
- What is it? Are you tired?
No.
I just dozed off.
- Can I drive instead of you?
- Oh, stop it. Come on now.
- So? Did you get the stuff?
- Yes.
- Good job.
- Look, it's the same brand.
Good job, buddy.
- Abboud, my dear?
- Yes?
- Thank you!
- You're welcome.
Let's get going.
The score is 4-0.
You really suck at this game!
- We muted the TV because uncle is asleep.
- Yes.
I'm winning!
- Come on! Check your attacker.
- I chose this player now.
- Here comes Van Dijk.
- Oh, he missed.
- Oh, Van Dijk!
- He missed. What a shame!
I will not let you choose him.
You didn't even let me.
Why are you sleeping here, Salem?
Wake up, Salem.
Get up already.
Why are you sleeping out here?
I don't know. I just dozed off.
Come on, get up. Abboud. Abboud.
- Yes, Aunt?
- Go to bed right now, please.
Turn the PlayStation off.
If you don't sleep now,
you're not going to the beach house.
- Understood?
- Yes.
Come on now. Go to bed.
Come on. Please get up, Salem.
- Please, come on now.
- Okay.
Okay. Fine.
Did you get everything ready as we agreed?
Noura, sweetheart,
if you don't nag, everything will go well.
I am not nagging, Salem. I just want
to make sure we're well-prepared.
We have a long drive tomorrow.
We also have many kids with us.
So, I'm just making sure
everything is going to be fine.
Everything will be fine, sweetheart.
Sure, yes.
Okay, then get up and go to bed.
Yes.
You are really unbelievable.
What should I do with this man?
What should I do?
- Abboud? Come here quickly.
- What is it?
I heard some strange noises outside.
It's curfew now.
What? I'm scared
- I'm scared it would be burglars.
- What?
- I have an idea.
- What is it?
- Let's go hide under the bed now.
- Let's go.
Okay.
Every time it's...
Do you think you can run away from me?
I'll show up wherever you go.
You only have 24 hours.
If you do not pay me for the goods,
You'll regret it.
You'd better be careful.
- Wait a second.
- What is it?
What's with that man?
His timing is impeccable!
He must be a hacker.
You know what? You might be right.
He seems like a hacker.
- No, I don't think so. He is not a hacker.
- I didn't think he was a hacker, either.
No, you want the truth?
He seems like a hacker.
You love to disagree with me.
So, is he or is he not a hacker?
- He is a hacker.
- No, he is not a hacker.
- No, he is a hacker.
- No, he isn't a hacker.
- He is a hacker.
- He is a hacker.
Come on, man! Just listen to me.
Tell him that the gold prices were low
and we had the chance to sell it.
Enough already! Stop it, man.
What's with you?
- Did you bring the sword?
- What?
- Yes
- Did you bring the sword?
- Yes no.
- No yes.
Well, boss, the gold prices were low
so we sold the sword.
- Come again?
- Amazing job.
- It was a good opportunity.
- You sold the sword?
- Yes.
- How could you sell the sword?
- It's because...
- Who told you to sell it?
It's because the gold prices were low,
so we seized the opportunity.
You morons! How dumb can you be?
This is your share
of the money we got for it.
If you want it, great,
and if you don't...
- Buy something cool with it.
- Yes.
Buy something cool with the money
you got for the sword?
What should I do to you?
What are you talking about?
Do you want the money?
- Of course not! I want the sword.
- He doesn't want it.
You don't want it?
They're out of our way
May God be with them
What did I do to deserve these dorks?
I, Zaghnaboot,
who can strangle any man to death
am allowing these morons to do this to me?
I can't believe
they're doing this to me! I'll show you!
You'd better fear my wrath!
- Saffron.
- What is it?
- Get up.
- Where's the yacht? The sword?
What sword? What yacht?
- What is it?
- You're not keeping watch?
- Maybe they already left!
- I'm so sorry I dozed off.
I dozed off as well. Can you believe it?
We both dozed off?
Chop-chop, kids.
This is such a pain to deal with!
- Hey, honey.
- Hey.
- Here. I got the food you asked for.
- Thank you. Perfect.
I ordered the exact quantity
you asked for.
Great. Come on, kids.
Get down and let's eat so we can go.
- I'll shower quickly and be right back.
- Please do it fast.
We need to hurry
before they close the borders.
- I'm on it. Right away.
- Please hurry up.
Tell the kids to come down.
Careful. What's wrong, dear?
Don't run down the stairs
or you'll hurt yourself. Easy does it.
- Okay.
- Go and pack up your stuff.
Don't forget anything.
Go lend them a hand. Come on.
Hurry, Salem, please!
- Not only do the kids nag, but so do you!
- The borders will be closed soon.
If you delay us any longer,
I'll have to cancel the whole trip.
Give me a break!
The kids are already driving me nuts.
Okay, I emptied the fridge.
Did you turn off all the lights?
The lights? Yes.
I turned off the power in the house.
I did everything. Any more instructions?
Yes. Get in your car and call me to go
through our little arrangement. Go on.
Why do I need to call you?
- Why? We sorted it all out.
- Okay, fine!
Call me.
Come on, man.
You're killing me here. Take a look.
Go easy on me. Let me concentrate.
- Come on, concentrate.
- Take a look.
- Give it here.
- No
I want to see what's happening.
Okay, one second. Here.
Knock yourself out. They already left.
- They're gone.
- Seriously?
Yes, they left. There's no one there now.
They're out of our way
May God be with them
They're out of our way
May God be with them
They are gone
They're out of our way
May God be with them
- So, we're all set now.
- Indeed.
- Everything will go as planned.
- Perfectly so.
- They're gone.
- I promise you.
- We'll break into the house.
- Of course we will.
- We will sell the sword.
- And once I get the money,
I will open up a bigger food truck.
- How wonderful!
- I'll hire you and pay you handsomely.
Oh, my dear one!
What did you just say?
You have no shame at all!
I am your cousin,
how could you make me work for you?
No, I mean
we split the business 50/50.
So, you mean partners?
Yes, 70 percent for me
and 30 percent for you.
Cool. I'm fine
with splitting the business 50/50.
- Yes, 50/50.
- Yes, 50/50.
They're out of our way may God...
- I'll give you whatever you want.
- Yes.
Since, they're gone, here you go.
Do you want me
to play music with it or what?
That's just as funny as that joke
about shorts and the beach house.
- Dad?
- Yes, darling?
Could you please connect your phone
to Bluetooth and play music?
Will you play a nice song?
- Yes.
- Right away. You got it.
Here.
Here we go.
Uncle? Aunt?
Usama?
Where is everybody? Hammoud?
Khaled? Uncle?
Aunt?
Usama?
Where is everybody?
Keep it down, Abboud.
Why are you shouting?
The house is empty. There's no one here.
The trip to the beach house is today.
Did they leave without us?
What?
What does that mean?
It means that it's just us.
We're like that kid from Home Alone.
The house has been emptied
of any food. I'm famished.
The house is empty, so is my stomach.
- Oh, yes. I remember.
- What?
I still have Uncle's credit card
from yesterday.
I put it in the pocket of my pants.
- So, what is your plan?
- We can order pizza. I know the passcode.
How smart! How did it occur to you?
We have no cell phones, smarty.
- How can we place the order?
- I have an application on my iPad.
Perfect.
Hello, Sarah. How are you all doing?
- Where are you?
- We're on the way.
- Let me talk to Abboud.
- Abboud isn't here. He's in the other car.
Why? Aren't you all going in the same car?
Let me talk to your Aunt Noura
or put me on speaker.
- Okay.
- Give it to me.
Hello. Hey, Munira.
Please tell Salem
to tell Abboud to call me, it's urgent.
Yes, I want to make sure
he took his medicine.
Okay, I will.
Okay, goodbye.
You worry too much, Munira. Here.
Goodness gracious! What a catastrophe!
Answer!
Hello, Anise? Abort the operation.
- Why?
- Why? Someone is in the house.
How? Didn't you say they left?
I don't know.
I just saw a guy delivering pizza
and a kid took the pizza.
Nice! What type of pizza is it?
Type? I don't know.
From the way he held the box,
it looks like there's cheese.
Wow! How wonderful! I'm coming right away.
I'm coming right away. Cool! Goodbye.
- Neither of us has a cell phone.
- How can they forget about us?
- Surely they'll come back for us.
- But it's taking them a very long time.
I'm worried supermarkets would close
during curfew.
How about we go to the supermarket
right now and get the groceries we need?
We can take a stroll until they get back.
We can also go to a shop,
borrow a phone and call them.
Mind you, I don't remember
any of their numbers.
Don't worry. I'll call Mom
and tell her to come get us.
What a brilliant idea!
I know the passcode of the main door.
Once we get back,
we will turn the power on.
Oh, boy!
It turns out there's two, not one.
No. I must knock on the door
to find out how many of them there are,
so they won't ruin our plan.
I'm not stupid!
No. I'm never giving up.
I will see this through.
- Hey, boy!
- Shush!
Have you lost your mind?
Why are you calling out to him?
I'm just checking if they know
we're watching them or not.
Why would we bother following them
if they already know?
- Great idea! Hey, boy!
- What do you want with them?
You said it. I'm doing what you're doing.
- Enough!
- Okay, listen.
Go watch the house
to see if someone else is there.
I'll follow them
and watch them in the supermarket.
Are you stupid? You can't run
with this big belly of yours.
Are you making fun of my body?
Don't be fooled, I can put my belly aside
and run like the Flash.
I see!
Do you think
your flat cinderblock of a body is nice?
Don't be fooled,
the belly can pop up in an emergency!
You're pulling my leg here, right?
Listen, I don't want to hit you
because you are dear to me.
I don't want to hit you either
because you're older than me.
Nice. We have a deal then.
- Take care, okay?
- Okay.
- Stay in touch.
- Bye-bye.
- We're here. Don't talk too much.
- You're such a slow walker!
Listen to me. Stop and listen to me.
I'll get in now
and get the groceries, okay?
Okay, I'm with you
but how will you get in without a mask?
That's easy.
The security guy will give me one.
Go to your friend, the security guy.
Okay, listen. Once I get in,
you try to get a phone to call your mom.
- All right? Let's get going.
- All right.
So, Abboud? Did you call your
Is your family here
in the supermarket with you?
You must be home alone, right?
He looks like a thief. Run!
How did they know that I am a thief?
Run, run, I will hunt you down
Let's go.
Come on. Get in, quick.
- What are we going to do now?
- I don't know.
Shall we call our family
or maybe the police?
- Do you have a cell phone?
- No, I just have an iPad.
I only have the PlayStation.
What are we going to do now?
I don't know. I don't know what to do.
- Come on, kids.
- Let's go, kids.
- Go on.
- Don't kiss grandpa and grandma.
- Greet them from a distance.
- Come on, move it.
- Boys, girls, no kissing.
- Hello there, kids.
Greet everyone from a distance. Good job.
- Hello, Son.
- Hello, Father.
How are you, Mother? I'm sorry
I can't get up close to greet you.
I'll just go put my phone on a charger.
Hello, Father-in-law.
Hello, Mother-in-law.
Hello? Hey, Munira.
Why weren't you answering my calls?
I started to get worried.
I'm not hanging up
until I can talk to my son.
It looks like your work overload
is making you tense, Munira.
I didn't answer you because I was busy
with the kids. Stop worrying.
Why did you go in two separate cars?
You don't have too many kids
and my kids are only two.
Would you please stop worrying?
Let me get things in order
and I'll explain to you later.
Okay, goodbye.
Salem! Salem!
What's this?
Why did I get a text from the bank
telling me about a payment?
How is that possible?
Where is my credit card?
Listen, guys. I want you
to buy three cans exactly like this one.
Look, you must bring the same
brand and everything.
- Okay.
- Chicken flavor for guard dogs.
- Exactly. Deal?
- Deal.
Here is the credit card.
Of course, you know the passcode.
- Sure. It's Dad's date of birth.
- Smart kid.
Listen, you are big kids
and I'm counting on you, okay?
Once you're done,
come back to the car, all right?
- Okay.
- I'll go to the bakery.
I want to check if it's closed
temporarily or for good.
Then I'll get back to the car.
- This is our meeting spot.
- Okay.
Off you go.
- Don't forget your face masks.
- We have them.
- Let's go, Abboud.
- Let's go.
Salem?
- Where is Abboud?
- Abboud, son of Soud?
- No, Abboud, son of Munira.
- Did you forget Soud's Abboud as well?
Don't say it!
Blow me down!
So? Did you find Abboud?
- No. You? Any luck?
- No.
Unbelievable.
- Where did they go?
- I don't know. They vanished.
- Oh, my goodness.
- I'm tired. I'm tired, Salem.
I asked all the kids,
but nobody has seen them.
What are we gonna do now?
Where do we look?
I left no stone unturned.
I did not find them.
- Oh, God!
- Unbelievable!
I want to go home.
I want to apologize to Mom.
Mom is mad at me
because I'm not taking school seriously.
But I solemnly promise
that when I go home,
I will spend all my time studying.
There is a time to play
and a time to study.
And I'll never do anything
that would make Dad angry.
I will do whatever he says.
Listen. Did you hear that noise outside?
- What?
- Listen.
- Listen, come with me.
- Please help us, God.
Do not be afraid, dude. I sedated him.
He should be out for a week.
A week? Why?
We only need him to be asleep for tonight.
Man! Who knows?
Maybe we'll rob the house again.
How smart!
Since that's the case
then let's start with the plan.
- Deal.
- After an hour or more into the curfew
- Yes?
- we break into the house.
Your wish is my command.
Keep it down.
Did you hear that?
We have about an hour and a half
before they get into the house.
I have a solution.
How about we go to the neighbors',
borrow their phone and call our family?
If you want to go, be my guest.
I'm not leaving Uncle's house
and I won't abandon
my great grandfather's sword.
I will not let those thieves take it.
It's not your fault.
Call your mother
and let her tell her sister
that we're home alone.
I will hide the sword.
But you better be careful
so those thieves don't see anything.
Be careful. Goodbye.
Goodbye!
- How long till curfew?
- About an hour and a half.
What are you talking about?
The borders will be closed, Salem.
Calm down, honey. Don't worry please.
Everything will be just fine, God-willing.
How nonchalant can you get?
I've been worried all day!
Oh, God! The boys have vanished.
PLATINUM HEALTH CLUB
OPEN ESPECIALLY FOR ABU KIM
- Hello?
- Mom!
Unbelievable.
That's it. That's all that happened.
I thought it would be better
if I stayed with you.
Any pizza left? I'm hungry.
- So, you came for the pizza, huh?
- No.
I thought of myself and you.
I thought my family
wouldn't let this day pass,
forgetting all about us.
- Our stuff is here, right?
- Yes, upstairs.
The firecrackers, ropes
and the stuff we bought are there, right?
- Yes. Do you want to play?
- Of course not.
- We'll use them to protect ourselves.
- Protect ourselves?
From what? And how?
Come with me.
- But, Noura
- No buts! Not a word, please!
It's my fault to have depended on you.
It's my fault.
Just keep silent and stand in line
behind that man, please.
- Just let me tell you
- Yes, what's your situation?
Well, I'd like to tell you
but I feel embarrassed.
Please, just tell me.
I just really need to go back
and cross the borders.
You know the situation.
There's a coronavirus curfew
and the borders are closed
except for trucks and business purposes.
I must turn back. I brought the maid
and my kids along in the car.
I forgot my wife in the apartment
after closing it and I have the key.
- Can you
- Good for you.
- What are you talking about?
- No, I didn't mean it that way, honey.
I mean that all men forget, not only me.
- This man forgot all about his wife.
- Please go. We have a line to check.
- Head back.
- God help us!
What's your story?
Did you forget your mother?
What? How did you know?
As I told you, sir.
We forgot two kids at home.
We must turn back to get them.
As I told you, I can't let you cross
the borders for they're closed.
If I allow it, I'll be interrogated
and held liable for it.
Call one of your relatives
or neighbors or something
to take care of them until tomorrow
and everything will be fine.
- But
- Please. Thanks. Excuse me.
- What are you going to do?
- I don't know, Noura.
Do something, Salem.
Do something. I don't know.
Just do something. Call someone.
- Just do anything.
- One second.
I remember now.
- Who are you calling?
- Hello? Abu Kim?
Hey, Salem. How are you doing?
I'm fine, thanks. What about you?
All is well, thanks for asking.
What?
You want me to go check on your kids?
I have no time for that, bro.
I have to train
for the championship tomorrow.
I'm training now for the championship.
I swear I don't have the time, bro.
I can do it later for I'm busy now.
I have a championship tomorrow.
I'm getting ready for it now.
No, I don't have the time, bro.
Goodbye. Maybe some other time. Goodbye.
- Munira?
- Yes, doctor?
I have a critical case
and I need you urgently.
- Coming right away.
- Please.
She's not answering.
I thought I'd tell her the truth,
so she'd go to them at least.
If Soud finds out, he'll be furious.
Of course, Soud will get angry
and Munira will collapse,
and end our relations,
and my situation will deteriorate.
That's all,
if we don't figure something out.
I hope we figure something out.
- I hope so.
- I hope we don't stay like this.
- Take it easy. Calm down, dear.
- I'm due any minute now.
- Hello!
- Oh God!
You scared us to death, man!
What's wrong with you?
No. Don't be scared.
My name is Naeem Namallah, aka Eyebrows.
- Nice to meet you, Eyebrows. What is it?
- Since I'm a commercial truck
Of course,
I don't mean that I am a commercial truck,
I'm a commercial truck driver
that is, a half-ton lorry.
I have a cross-border permit.
I can take you along.
Or you can stay here until morning.
What do you say?
Do you want to stay till morning?
- Or maybe you can come along?
- I don't know.
No, why would we wait? We will come along.
- What?
- We will come along.
- Yes, we will come along.
- It's settled then.
But I must tell you this.
We can only move in two hours.
You know, they load the goods
into the truck.
So, do you expect me to leave the goods
and cross the border?
Do you want me to leave the goods?
That's not right.
- Thank you, Eyebrows!
- We appreciate it!
- Did you see them?
- Yes.
- Let's execute our first plan.
- Let's go.
- Here.
- What is this?
- This is an earphone for you.
- Okay.
And this one is for me. Here.
- Shall we play songs?
- No
- Listen, go to the front door.
- Okay.
- And I'll go to the side door.
- No!
- What's wrong?
- I don't like the front.
Please give me the side door.
It's my game, my rules.
- Okay, then go to the side door.
- Yes.
- And I will go to the front door.
- Perfect.
- Okay?
- Okay. Good luck.
- Listen. Wait.
- What?
Whoever enters first must tell the other.
Don't leave me outside.
- It's a no-brainer. Let's go.
- Listen to me.
We must steal the sword.
Do not forget about that.
- You got it.
- Once you see it, take it.
- Yes.
- I might head to the kitchen.
I gotta eat something.
I'm so hungry.
No!
I'll go to the kitchen to eat
and you take the sword.
- Please!
- No.
Are you playing dumb now? You know what?
We'll go to the kitchen, leave the sword,
eat something then leave.
No! The poor sword!
It's been waiting for us for a while now.
- Really?
- Yes. It calls me every minute,
- asking me what's taking us too long.
- Then let's eat something and then...
No. Please, let's get to the sword.
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
You look so tired, Munira.
Indeed. I'm tired
and worried about the kids.
Why? What's wrong with them?
They went with my sister
to the beach house.
I haven't talked to them
since they got there.
Come on. They're kids in a beach house
playing with each other.
They must be playing and having a blast.
- You think so?
- Yes, they are with your sister.
If something is wrong,
God forbid, she will tell you.
- I hope so.
- You don't need to worry.
Come on, guys. Move it.
We still have a long road ahead, guys.
Chop chop, guys. Move it.
Let's go. Go easy on the goods.
Move it, guys. Come on. What?
The coronavirus ruined me
This is the coronavirus situation.
We thank God for everything.
Let's move it, my dear truck
You will give us a good time
Corona ruined me
Go easy on the coronavirus.
I mean, go easy on the goods.
You're really confusing me, man.
Load the goods in a proper way.
No cargo owner would treat you
like I treat you, right?
There's no one like me, I know it.
Let's move it, my dear truck
This man really loves his songs.
Yes, good for him.
He has a beautiful voice.
- He is entertaining himself and us.
- Go easy on the coronavirus.
His voice makes you dance.
Let's move it, my dear truck
- How wonderful!
- Doesn't it make you dance?
Okay, fine.
Thank God. We loaded the goods.
Close the truck doors.
- You know, Salem?
- What?
I was really excited
that we'd return with him
but now I feel so worried.
- Why?
- I don't know.
I don't feel safe. Times have changed.
It's not safe anymore.
Give me some credit!
You have a real man with you.
- A cockroach.
- Where is it?
Yes. You truly are a real man.
You are such a macho man.
What are we going to do now?
Come on, man and woman.
The goods are loaded.
- Come here.
- It's done.
- Come on and bring your wife.
- Go on. Let's go.
Come and bring your wife.
Come and get in. Move it.
Those morons! They left the door open.
Begin your raid, O Anise!
- Our first plan worked out.
- With flying colors.
Wait for this now.
What is this?
Where is the
Pick up the phone!
I'll go check on him.
Come on. Quickly.
- How was the water bucket trick?
- Brilliant! You're brilliant!
May God be with us.
- Saffron?
- Here we go.
What are you doing? Are you stupid?
What do you mean?
This will open it faster.
Breaking it with a hammer? Are you nuts?
- What should I use? My head?
- Besides, why are you pinned?
- I'm stuck to this.
- What is this?
- Who did this to you?
- I don't know. It could be a prank.
- You don't say!
- I swear!
- Get your feet out.
- How?
Take off your shoes. Yes, like this.
- Pull your leg up. Yes.
- Good job.
- We'll pick up the shoes later.
- Wow! Did you work for the police?
- What do you mean?
- You saved me quickly.
- What do you think of my performance?
- Brilliant.
- Is something wrong?
- What do you mean?
- Is it raining?
- No. I got inside. It wasn't raining.
- I got inside and the water came down.
- Wow!
- What does that mean?
- It's raining inside.
You know what? I feel lucky
that I didn't go to the beach house.
I am so happy I came to stay with you.
Amazing action.
Yes!
What are you looking for up there?
I'm looking for the rain
that I told you about.
- What about it?
- It was here. It stopped it seems.
It looks like it went to another door,
right?
- Saffron?
- Anise?
- Let's bust in. Let's go.
- Let's bust in. Let's
What is this? Wow!
- What's that?
- That stunt was beautiful.
- Is it?
- We should have recorded it.
- You're amazing.
- No.
- Hold me, please.
- I can't even hold myself.
- Oh, boy!
- Wow!
That stunt was amazing.
Where is the box office?
- Thank you!
- What tricks are these?
They think we'll fall
for these tricks of theirs.
- Nothing can break us. Let's go.
- Let's go on.
- Let's go in.
- Yes.
- What is this? Let's go in.
- Heavens!
Please let me ride on your back.
Please let me do that.
- It's my first time, bear with me.
- Okay, but watch the hat.
- Get down.
- No.
- Damn you. Are you stupid or something?
- Are you stupid?
- You can't run. We're coming.
- Yes.
- Wait, let me stand up.
- No, I will stand up.
Stop, man. Come on.
I'll help you up. Come on.
- That's it.
- Get up.
- Oh, boy!
- Man!
Come on.
Stop doing your ballet routine! Get up.
I'm no ballet dancer!
- Help me up. Come on.
- Get up, dude.
- I just want to know one thing.
- What is it?
What type of soap did they use?
It smells nice. I want to start using it.
- I think it's laurel soap. It's good.
- Really?
- I'm tired.
- Please wake me up at seven.
What? Do you have an appointment?
- What was that?
- What's that?
- What?
- What are these? Firecrackers?
It's seems it is Independence Day.
Do you have some foam, please?
These are worse than firecrackers.
These are shorts.
- What?
- Shorts in large size.
Do you think you're scaring us off
with your firecrackers?
- Come on. Hit us.
- Hit us!
Thank God.
- We finally crossed the border.
- Yes.
- Thank you, Mustache!
- It's Eyebrows.
All passengers,
please abide by health instructions.
Or we will have to make you leave.
- No. You got it.
- Here we go.
- Say, Faceman?
- It's Eyebrows! Eyebrows!
- Eyebrows.
- Yes, Eyebrows.
- Could you please step on it?
- Yes, but what should I step on exactly?
What do you mean by that?
- It means to go faster than this.
- Yes.
No, I can't. I have goods in this truck.
We must abide by speed limits.
Okay, as you wish. Let him do his thing.
- But I have another solution.
- What is it?
We can start our music number
and sing for you.
- Go ahead.
- Here we go.
Tonight, tonight
Say "tonight" please.
- Okay.
- Sing along.
- Tonight
- Tonight
We will walk down the Nile Street
- You and I together
- You and I together
NO ENTRY
Do not laugh at me.
Did you see how I stumbled?
It was catastrophic.
It's top quality soap,
that's why we slipped.
Take a look at this. "No entry."
- Okay, we can come back later.
- No, dude.
- I'm sure the sword is inside.
- Really?
Why else would it say not to enter?
- You are absolutely right.
- Since it's no entry, let's enter.
Get in. Let your big mustache
get in first, then you get in.
That's a good one.
Come in.
- Please
- What's this? What's all this flour?
- What did you take out of my ear?
- The earphone.
Please, I want the exact earphone
but with flour.
Your teeth are out too.
- Can I ask a question?
- Shoot.
How many loaves of bread
does all the flour covering you make?
You can open a bakery with it.
- You know why I put flour?
- Why?
I'm traveling, so I'm worried
I'd get stuck to the door.
A flour protection, you mean?
What, man? Are we going to keep joking
around till tomorrow?
- I don't know.
- We must find a solution, dude.
We must figure out how to get the sword.
- I don't
- Your face looks hilarious.
I can only hear your voice
but I can't see you. Are you there?
Seriously, though.
We need to find where the sword is.
The sword is upstairs, dude.
- Are you sure?
- Positive.
I want a final answer.
Look what happened to us.
- For the sword's sake
- We're willing to go to war.
We are willing to do anything.
- What's wrong?
- Nails.
Didn't you see them? Open your eyes, man.
Be careful. They booby-trapped
the whole place.
No, that's not true.
Get me a milkshake.
Listen, dude. Be vigilant.
- Let's go.
- We'll keep doing this all night.
Hello, police?
- Oh, my!
- That hurt!
You will not take my grandfather's sword.
This is your last chance
to get out of the house.
We don't want trouble, dude.
Let's just leave.
- If you don't want to leave, I'll leave.
- You can't, dude.
I will see this mission to the end.
I'll take the sword no matter what.
He is using his voice now, right?
This means he ran out of tricks.
He threw flour at us, used pins and nails
and he threw us off the stairs.
So, he has no more tricks, dude.
- Let's go on.
- No, listen, dude.
You can get the sword, I'm out of here.
- I'll go.
- Come, you coward. It's our last chance.
- Come with me and you'll be fine.
- I'm not a coward, I'm a chicken.
- Enough of this. Just come.
- Okay.

Thankfully, our test results came back.
Bashar, Ghazi, and I are all negative.

- What can it do? She's in labor.
Hello, Munira.
It's about time you answered.
- I'm in labor. Just listen to me.
- Calm down.
Shut up! Listen, we forgot Soud's Abboud
and your Abboud at home.
Please go get them. I am in labor.
I'm in labor, Munira. I'm in labor!
- I'm in labor!
- Relax. Calm down.
I guess my brother Salem's house
is on this block.
- Hurry, Abboud.
- Quickly.
Come on. Let's go.
Come here. Stop.
- Come here!
- Thank God, you're safe!
- Did you get hurt?
- No, we are fine, Father.
Here, Father.
This is my great grandfather's sword.
Good job, son!
My sweet son, Abboud!
I'm thankful you are all fine.
So, what are you guys doing here?
Why didn't you go with them
to the beach house?
Soud, I'll explain it later.
My sister Noura is in labor
We must go to the hospital now.
- Did you drive your car here?
- Yes.
Okay, we will go to the hospital now.
Officers? Put them in the police box
and take them to the station.
- Come on, son. Hurry up.
- Let's go.
Please, one minute,
let me explain what happened.
We are innocent as you can see.
Do I look like a thief?
- No, you look like a trauma victim.
- Yes, true.
Not to mention the nails they threw at us
and the slippery water.
Did you see that kid?
It is all his fault, I swear.
Don't think he's just a little kid,
he's the devil incarnate!
Do you want the truth?
I swear I'd rather go to jail
than face Zanghaboot.
If you say his name right,
everything will be all right.
You're not a criminal. We did nothing.
We didn't steal the sword.
- True.
- We didn't harm anyone.
- We will sue them.
- That's it. We will sue them.
- Let's go. Come on, let's go.
- Let's sing our song.
They got out of the way
And into the prison they went
They got out of the way
And into the prison they went
Everything is going to be fine.
The most important thing
is we got rid of Zanbatoot.
Just say his name correctly, man.
- Just once for a change.
- What was his name?
- Zaghnaboot.
- Nice name.
- What a coincidence!
- We were just singing your praises.
It's my fault
for working with idiots like you!
I can't believe that I, Zaghnaboot,
who can mess with anyone
but not be messed with,
would end up in a police car!
You are absolute dorks!
I can say nothing but
- We know.
- We know.
- "You'd better be careful!"
- "You'd better be careful!"
Forgive me, Munira.
- I really didn't mean it.
- First, it's a boy. Congratulations!
Second, you're my sister.
So, it is nothing, really.
Everyone makes mistakes. Don't worry,
Salem explained everything to me.
The most important thing
is that the boys are fine, thank God.
May God protect them.
You can really count on them.
They managed to stop the burglars
and protect the house.
Yes, these heroes did an amazing job.
What matters is they protected
my great grandfather's sword.
So, what are you going to name
the baby boy?
That's obvious.
We have Abboud One and Abboud Two.
So, this is certainly going to be named
Abboud Three.
You need to forgive me now.
- I forgive you, Sister. But for what?
- I will tell you.
The boys wreaked havoc in your house
while trying to stop the thieves.
I advise you to turn back
to the beach house in Khafji.
Go there for a few days
and spend some time with the family
until the house is fixed.
LAB AND MEDICAL ANALYSIS
Finally, Salem?
- I was blessed.
- You named him Abboud, huh?
Yes, thank God.
- I'm really grateful.
- You got what you wanted.
That's true. It's God's blessings.
Well, it's been a very eventful day, guys.
- Indeed.
- You got that right.
Let's stay in touch, Abboud.
- Stay online at all times, okay?
- Okay.
Mind you,
studying is the most important thing.
We want you to succeed.
- Yes.
- God-willing.
Thief!
How wonderful! You are the real heroes.
