Ronald Cole: Sir? Prof. Walter Vale: Yes? Did you find him? Ronald Cole: He's been removed. Prof. Walter Vale: Removed to where? Ronald Cole: Deported. Prof. Walter Vale: Deported? When? Ronald Cole: He was deported this morning. Prof. Walter Vale: How can that be? No, he - Um, sir, is there any way that I could contact him? Ronald Cole: I don't think so. Prof. Walter Vale: You don't think so? What kind of an answer is that? Ronald Cole: I'm sorry, sir. That's all the information that I have. Now, please step away from the window. You can contact I.C.E. if you have any further questions. The number's on the wall. Sir? Step away from the window, please. Sir. For the last time, step away... from the window. Prof. Walter Vale: [Walks up to the phone number on the wall, walks back to the window] You can't just take people away like that. Do you hear me? He was a good man, a good person. It's not fair! We are not just helpless children! He had a life! Do you hear me? I mean, do YOU hear ME? What's the matter with you?
Prof. Walter Vale: We are not helpless children!
Mouna Khalil: [frustrated with ruthless US immigration system] It's just like Syria.
Mouna Khalil: This feels like Syria.
Tarek Khalil: Oh shit! We have to get home! Zainab's gonna kill me, I'm on Arab time again. Prof. Walter Vale: What is "Arab time"? Tarek Khalil: It means I'm late by an hour. All Arabs are late by an hour, it's genetic, we can't help it.
Prof. Walter Vale: Don't Worry. I'll keep my pants on.
