A: ...and like you know everyone here is kind of family and yet they speak a language that you don't and you don't belong to that part of their life.  Isn't that difficult?  Like even with languages I just meet someone like some Spanish person who I don't know that well, and they just speak a language--I feel bad you know like, man, I'm never going to get to know this person.
J: That's why going home will be a good thing.
A: Will you have time to learn Arabic probably not.
J: I'm going to be around the house.
A: Yeah you'll have it in your mind.
J: I'd have to take classes.  That's why I was going to move to Lebanon before this whole war thing happened.
A: It's even worse now.
J: My dad would love for me to have a wife like that like that girl in the green there.
A: She wears a lot of makeup.
J: She does.
A: That's what Lebanese women look like right?
J: Some Lebanese women like--
A: Oh wait are you talking about--which one the one in the--Zena?
J: Yeah.  My dad would love for me to have a wife like that, have a little daughter.  It's crazy to have--the thing about her, that daughter is going to turn out to be a really beautiful girl, but also really like well-behaved.  She's going to be unattainable you know.  She might be a little slutty you know.
A: Maybe she will.
J: No.  They're not raised that way.  They know better.
A: But sometimes they rebel.
J: Rarely.  Not with a mom like that you know.  Not with the dad, the dad's a kind of powerful figure.  He has to--like a man's man.
