Little Mosque on the Prairie (2007) s04e04 Episode Script

Break and Enter

Hi, Mom.
Sarah: [ On phone .]
So, how does it feel to be going home to your very own house? So good! I am looking forward to a little alone time.
Just me and Mr.
Couch.
I hear you.
Don't forget to have a big healthy dinner.
Yeah I'll probably just open up a can of seven course meal.
Ta da! [ Laughing .]
How did you guys get in here? Once again ta da! [ Laughs .]
That key is for emergencies only.
A hungry daughter's an emergency.
Oh, a victimless crime is a crime nonetheless! I told you, Yasir! I told him.
I told you.
You promised not to drop by uninvited.
That doesn't sound like us.
I've been here one week! You've found an excuse to come by every single night.
To be fair, they were good excuses.
Okay, you need to learn boundaries.
Boundaries! Yeah, boundaries.
Okay, how's this for a boundary? We leave you alone for a whole week.
Yeah, right.
And if we don't, we will give you back our key.
- What? - What? - What? - I'll hold you to your word! You see what happens when you talk? Well, I had to suggest something.
- No you didn't! You just keep your mouth shut.
- Bye! - Eat something.
- Thank you for dinner! [ Sighs .]

Season 4 Episode 4 Break and Enter Need a plant? I've got so many.
Seems every time I convert someone, I get another! This time I got a Ficus.
I think that's a fern.
No, no.
Jim Ficus.
Yes, he may have been baptized United, but when he goes, the funeral's on us.
It's all part of my four point parish growth plan.
Convert the outsiders, charm the faithful, guilt-trip the fallen, and bingo! Never forget bingo.
[ Forced laugh .]
Yes, but conversion in Islam is about finding God.
We're not out to rack up a high score.
Well, just as well.
Because you're losing.
In fact, I'm starting to think that a mosque in a church is a good thing! Yes.
I can be a missionary without all the travel.
I've got an all-you-can-greet buffet right here in my own building.
I guess that's why I'm here.
I'm the spiritual sneeze guard.
Bless you.
You know, I've had particular success with the ladies.
I can't wait to talk one-on-one with some Muslim mademoiselles.
- But you can't.
- Hm? Not alone.
It's not proper without a chaperone.
A chaperone? You're kidding! You're not kidding! That's hilarious.
Wait, let me check my watch.
Nope, still the 21st century.
A chaperone? It's not that ridiculous.
It's ridiculous enough.
Oh, I look forward to speaking to them uh, with a chaperone of course! They should be easy to win over with my futuristic tales of fire and the wheel! [ .]
[ Sniffing .]
[ .]
[ Knocking on door .]
Oh, Fatima, assalaam alaikum.
Walaikum assalaam.
What an unexpected surprise! Not for me.
I knew I was coming.
You said "drop by anytime".
You know that's just an expression, right? So, are you going to invite me in? Right.
Yes, of course.
Come on in! I was just going to watch a movie.
- Popcorn? - What garbage! You need a real snack.
Try this.
Mmm, crispy fava beans! Start the movie while I toss this out.
Okay.
Perfect.
A romantic dinner.
Oh, this is just like our first date.
Without the food poisoning.
Yeah.
We don't have to worry about another setting.
We don't have to worry about Rayyan getting home safely.
We don't have to worry about her all alone in her big home.
Or if her smoke detectors work.
We don't have to worry about Wait.
We can't do this.
We promised.
Of course.
And when she's all alone and on fire we can comfort ourselves with the fact that we kept our promise.
[ Kissing .]
Yeah.
[ Exhaling .]
- I'll get my coat.
- You read my mind.
Let's go.
Man on TV: [ Crying .]
Why is this man crying? He is a baby! His dog just died! Back home I had many animals die.
Goats, chickens.
I never cried.
They were pets? No.
They were delicious.
If you don't like the movie, you don't have to stay.
Do not tempt me.
How would it look if I left you here all alone? I can only imagine.
This is ridiculous! If we get caught sneaking around, she'll take our key! Well then, let's not get caught.
It's not as if you've never snuck before.
Sarah: Shh! You see the blinking light on the smoke detector? That means it's working.
Oh look, Fatima's visiting.
You see, Yasir? She's safe, she's got company.
Can we go home now? Ah, look.
I see that you've given her our new kettle.
What a good mother you are.
Oh no, I gave her our old one.
Our old one has a short in it.
It's a fire hazard.
What kind of a mother are you? What? Why would you keep one with a short? Because it's perfectly good.
Apart from the short.
Well, we have to replace it with a new one.
I'll go get it.
I'll be right back.
Aw.
The end.
Are you sure you wanted to turn the TV off? I could stay and watch another one of your stupid movies.
I could even drink your tea.
Oh! Well I could put the kettle on.
[ Whispering .]
No, don't! Please don't.
I was kidding.
But, thanks for a lovely evening.
And thank you for an evening.
Good night.
[ Humming .]
And you'll see we have as much room for conservatives in our church as you do.
We're a big tent.
That is a tent I would never camp in! Ah.
[ Clears throat .]
What's going on? He was trying to convert me.
Me! What? Is this true? You can't blame a guy for trying.
Oh, I blame a guy.
I blame you.
You're mad at me because he tried to convert you? That's his job as a heathen damnation salesman.
Your job is to stop him.
But, it's not like you were tempted.
Not everyone is as devout as I.
What are you saying? That man is a wolf in wolf's clothing.
You mean sheep's clothing.
Why would a wolf wear a sheep's clothing, huh? He'd look ridiculous.
You know, you're right to be insulted.
Really? I was right? You actually thought I was right? In fact, how dare he attack any of my sheep? Don't worry.
Your shepherd is on the job.
- Okay.
Ah! - I have it.
Are you ready? Oh! Yes, fine.
We're going to sneak in, replace it with the new one and sneak out before anyone's the wiser.
I was just going to knock on the door and present it to her.
- Really? - Yeah.
And how would that conversation go? "Hey, Rayyan, funny story.
We noticed something when we were peeking through your window from the bushes"! And then I'd lose my precious, precious key.
[ Gasps .]
Watch out, Gollum.
[ .]
[ Door closing .]
She's sorting shoes.
She'll be hours.
Come on.
[ Clattering .]
[ Whispering .]
Careful! Shh! I am careful.
- Shh! - Shh! [ Rustling .]
[ .]
[ on Discman .]
[ Door closing .]
I'll change the kettle.
- It'll only take a second.
- Okay.
[ .]
Glass.
Glass.
Glass glass, glass! [ .]
- Shh! - Go, go, go! - I know! - Go, go, go! [ Loud clatter .]
[ Car alarm blaring .]
Halt! Who goes there? Stand down! Fred: I'm telling ya, there are prowlers in our midst.
It's time to fight back.
The people of Mercy should take the law into their own hands.
Fred.
You don't often have good ideas.
But? Oh, how I wish there was a but.
Yeah.
I didn't get a real good look at 'em, you know, but the guy was swarthy with an athletic build; she was lean and tall.
Wait a minute! Yasir! Sarah! What? Do you guys know anybody who looks like that? - No.
- No.
No-no.
Are you sure you saw anybody? Maybe it was just a bad dream! Yeah! That's what it was.
- A dream.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I guess maybe it could've been a dream Hold it! Can it with the Jedi mind tricks.
You don't believe me, do you? Just another nutty rant from crazy old Fred, right? Right.
[ .]
Oh.
Amaar, sorry.
You wanted that.
No, no! You take it.
That was my second choice.
I was actually thinking of getting "My Pal Jesus 3, Picnic of the Lord"? Sure.
I haven't really seen 2 so I'd be seeing them out of order so forget it.
Um, how's the new house? Oh, it's cute.
You should drop by.
Great! Some time when your parents are there, of course, 'cause otherwise You'd need a chaperone, if I know my Muslim! Right? Right.
Amaar never mentioned that you knew so much about Islam.
He didn't? Isn't that odd.
Actually, I'm surprised.
He hasn't mentioned much about you at all.
What can I say? Gossip is un-Islamic.
Well, chaperoning sounds like fun.
I'd be happy to do it.
Don't put yourself out.
Please.
No, no! It's my pleasure.
I've never been inside a Muslim's lair before.
Oh, we call them caves.
Oh-ho, excellent.
You know, I feel it's time for me to start reaching out to my Muslim neighbours.
Ignore that feeling.
So, uh, yes! I'll see you both tonight! - Great! - Great! - Wh - That is so nice.
You know, he didn't have to do that.
He certainly did not.
[ .]
Hey, Yasir.
I left my keys at work.
Can I use yours? Oh, yeah.
[ Keys jingling .]
What's the matter? No key.
No key.
I can't find our key! It's right there in your hand.
No, no, no.
Our key to Rayyan's place.
What? Where did you last see it? Well, I had it last night when we went into Rayyan's place.
- Oh, Yasir! - Oh, I couldn't have.
- You didn't! - I did! - You wouldn't! - I would.
We shouldn't! - We must! - Ohhh! - We have to go back and get it! - Oh! - Wait! - What? Yasir, what are you doing? Oh! Good, good! My fellow prairie dogs, I stand before you today, not only as your fearless leader Who died and made you leader? Jeff did.
Oh, yeah.
Good ol' Jeff.
I miss him.
Yeah, me too.
Try to stay on topic, people.
Now, this town is under siege by thugs, ruffians and garbage can rattlers.
The police won't even take me seriously.
Now they refer to me as and I quote, "Fred, again".
- Those bastards! - Fred: Yeah.
But Mercy needs a vigilante group.
You know, like The Guardian Angels.
That's copyrighted.
Fine, then The Mercy Mob! Uh, guys.
I'm happy to hang, but I don't think I can do any of the mob junk.
For Pete's sake, Jimmy.
Why not? It's Audrey and me.
We're Quakers.
I'm pretty sure there's a "no mob" rule.
Well, could you unofficially hang out with us while we did "mobby" things? No problem.
Good.
[ Laughing .]
Now let's get out there and protect those houses of Mercy, huh? Like my house? No like my house.
Mercy Mob! All: Mercy Mob! [ Laughing .]
Okay, let's hurry before she gets home.
You're awfully good at opening locked windows.
Well, I ought to be.
I'm a contractor.
We often forget our keys.
I wish you'd remembered this key, or we wouldn't be in this mess! Okay, come on.
I'm not sure we should be doing this.
I mean, shouldn't we respect Rayyan's privacy? Ow! Ah! Listen, once we find our key, we will show her deep, lasting and abiding respect.
Now, help me root through her things.
Why do I have to be the one who breaks in? Because you're smaller, more agile and I'm too pretty for jail.
What? Just go.
Well, just tell me if anyone's coming.
Yasir? Yasir? [ .]
[ Door opening .]
Rev.
Thorne: [ Chuckling .]
[ Gasps .]
You know, we should've invited Baber.
Next time.
- Ahhh! - Well, here it is! Oh.
I thought I closed that.
Oh, what a quaint cottage.
How delightfully rural.
Well, I still have a few repairs to do.
I just moved out of my parents' place.
At your age? Perfectly normal for a good Muslim woman.
Oh.
Well, I'm sorry.
I'm used to Anglican women who enjoy much more freedom and trust.
Hm.
Well, that must be nice.
Oh, yes.
Very fulfilling.
- Rayyan is fulfilled.
- Ah.
Tell him, Rayyan.
You're fulfilled.
Tell him how fulfilled you are.
Rayyan: [ Awkward laugh .]
Who wants popcorn? What's a movie without popcorn? Now there's a man after my own heart! I know what you're trying to do.
Amaar, come on.
I'm just here to watch a movie.
Of course, if religion happens to come up, what can I do? Okay.
You're trying to get to me but it's not going to work.
Good to know.
Rayyan: Does anyone want some cookies? Oh, I believe I would.
What do you believe, Rayyan? [ Rustling .]
[ .]
Fred.
Yasir? Uhhh I was here.
Just, um you know, um Save it, Hamoudi.
I know what you're up to.
You do? You heard about the prowler and wanted to protect your daughter.
Busted.
Well, come on over, pal.
You can be part of the Mercy Mob! Yeah! I ca um So, are you all part of this mob? All except me.
He's "of" the mob, he's not "in" the mob.
Right, right.
Yeah.
Nothing's getting past us, my friendly.
[ Clapping .]
Yeah.
I'm sure getting by you would certainly pose a big problem.
Fred: Oh, yeah.
Mmm.
It's kind of you to serve us Rayyan, though I'd feel better if you'd let me help out in the kitchen.
Well, aren't you a liberated man.
Rev.
Thorne: I think you'll find we Anglicans are very progressive.
Oh! You know, we have female ministers, even bishops! Hmm.
Sounds wonderful.
You know, this may sound crazy, but have you ever thought of a change? What kind of change? Reverend.
That is totally inappropriate.
Have you ever thought of buttering your popcorn? I mean think of the calories! [ Forced laughter .]
I don't know.
I guess I always just thought popcorn was fine without it.
Yes, but what if popcorn wasn't fine without it? What if popcorn only thinks it's fine without it? What if popcorn doesn't know what popcorn's missing? Amaar: Although, what if popcorn doesn't want to be buttered? What if popcorn's tired of being buttered up? What if popcorn's happy being popcorn? Amaar, relax.
It's just popcorn.
[ .]
You know something is wrong here.
The couch is out from the wall.
Would you guys mind just pushing it back for me? Sure.
[ Grunting .]
It's like there's something stuck behind there.
Well, hello there! Oh! That's where my exercise ball went.
Just toss it.
[ Sighing .]
[ .]
Well.
This is fun.
Never been part of a mob before.
I still haven't.
[ Cell phone ringing .]
Hello? [ Whispering .]
Yasir! I'm in the closet! You're where? I'm in Rayyan's closet.
You have to come and get me.
You want me to do what? Come and get me! No, I'm with Fred.
Sarah: [ On phone .]
Come and get me! How can I get rid of Just wait a minute.
This is someone here who says there's been a sighting of the prowler down the street! Outside of the Wilson house! Wilson house.
To the Wilson house, boys! All: To the Wilson house! Hurrah! Joe: Mercy Mob! Men: [ On phone .]
Mercy Mob! Okay, I'm outside.
They're all just watching TV.
Now look.
I want you to open the closet, crawl towards the window, and then voilà! Home free.
Okay, here goes nothing.
Uh I think we need plan B.
Okay, look.
I'm going to sneak into the kitchen, come and open the closet.
I've got a really good feeling about this one.
Hey! That's my sweater.
Ah, chaperoning! Good times, hm? I put the kettle on.
We can all have tea.
Ah tea, yes.
Have you ever been to an old-fashioned Anglican high tea? Have you ever been to a kebab roast? What? High tea, you know? It's cakes and scones.
Cream and jam.
Oh, and the sweetest thing of all community.
You know, I am so glad you came over.
When I hear you talk about your church, I see your faith in a whole new light.
You know, it's as if I'm discovering it anew as I share it with you.
Not that she's interested.
I am very interested.
You clearly have so much passion for your church.
Yes, we love to give people a sense of inclusion.
We have so much to offer.
Well, why don't you offer it to someone who actually wants it? Well, you never know what people want until you ask.
My point is you shouldn't be asking! Amaar, what are you doing? I want this man to stop trying to convert you! Fred: All right, move it along! Blah, blah.
Come on, buddy.
[ Whistle blasts .]
Oh, good.
The Prairie Police.
It's Mercy Mob, actually.
Men: Mercy Mob! Mercy Mob! So Rayyan, looks like we got that prowler at the Wilson place.
Turns out it was Huh, Tuffy Wilson.
[ Nervous laugh .]
I was just putting out the garbage.
And bam! Down I go.
You tackled him? [ Laughs .]
Hey, no big deal.
It ain't the first time.
And it won't be the last! Mercy Mob! Men: Mercy Mob! I didn't get to tackle him because, you know, I'm Quaker.
And you brought him here? Fred: Hey, fellas.
Why don't we take the Tuffster out for an apology brew, huh? Hey, you're on! Hey, listen! Since it was your dad's hot tip that led to the bust why doesn't he join us, huh? [ Kettle whistling .]
[ Circuits shorting .]
Yasir: Ow! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! - Yasir: I've got it, I've got it.
- Oh! Oh! Okay.
Funny story.
The old kettle looks a lot like the new one.
Dad? What is going on here? [ Knocking on door .]
[ .]
I believe this belongs to you.
[ .]
[ .]
Amaar, salaam alaikum.
Walaikum assalaam! I just wanted to drop by and thank you for a great movie night.
Really? You forgive me for what happened last night? Battling for my soul? Yeah, it was positively mediaeval.
[ Laughs .]
Did you forgive your parents? Yeah.
They just get nuts when they worry.
And worry is an unpleasant side effect of love.
And they're coming over Sunday.
Do you want to come over for a movie night? [ Laughs .]
Rev.
Thorne: Oh, Rayyan.
I thought that was you.
I wanted to thank you for a lovely evening.
And I wanted to apologize to you for my parents, and the kettle fire and the mob.
Not at all.
It was a wonderful opportunity to make a conversion.
You know you never had a chance with Rayyan, right? [ Clears throat .]
Never say never.
Besides I met someone who was ready for a change.
Jimmy! I'm no longer a Quaker! This is for you.
Oh, thank you.
This is for you.
Well I guess you win some and you win some, hm? - Hm.
- Huh.
Happy housewarming! Thanks, I already got one.
[ Sighs .]
