Quotes
-
Adib Abdul-Kareem : [taking a swig out of a bottle to determine if the whiskey is the real thing or a knock off] It's real.
Fatima : You drink now.
Adib Abdul-Kareem : Not as much as I'd like.
-
Paul Ridge : [about Muna going to the national archives] What was she researching?
Adib Abdul-Kareem : [after a long pause] Me.
-
Adib Abdul-Kareem : [after Paul unexpectedly shows up and helps him out of a fight with Halim and his thugs] So now you're following me too?
Paul Ridge : [lifting him out of the fountain where he ended up in the fight] You're welcome.
Adib Abdul-Kareem : [about Halim as Paul helps him up the stairs] He asked me if I had some photos on my daughter's phone. Were there any? Try telling me the truth this time.
Paul Ridge : No, there's nothing there. There're no photos.
Adib Abdul-Kareem : [pausing on the stairs to digest the information] Okay.
Paul Ridge : I'm telling you the truth. There are no photos. I care about your daughter too.
Adib Abdul-Kareem : [sarcastically] I wonder... where you find the time.
-
Adib Abdul-Kareem : There's an asshole following me around asking about photos. He one of yours?
Sayid Abd Al-Aziz : I have no idea what you're talking about.
Adib Abdul-Kareem : Sayid, if you want me to leave you alone, and I know you do, I'm going to need your help. You and I both know that you don't want this case reopened. I am innocent after all.
Sayid Abd Al-Aziz : No one's going to believe you.
Adib Abdul-Kareem : True... but they will believe I had help... and we're old friends, everybody knows that. And I won't stop there. I'll implicate your wife, and your beloved daughters - the whole nest of Israeli spies. I'm not the same man you chased away all those years ago. *Find*... *my*... *daughter*.

Adib Abdul-Kareem : Detlev, they've taken my child.
Detlev Ivanov : [handing him a glass] Children are always trouble. That's why I never had any. Here, drink up - be good for the headache. I always thought you'd enjoy Canada - more than Tadmor Prison anyway.
Adib Abdul-Kareem : Why haven't they arrested me?
Detlev Ivanov : Now, that is a very interesting point. Sayid doesn't want you picked up. He doesn't want anyone going into anything. Kidnapping two Canadians from the same family already raises media speculation.
Adib Abdul-Kareem : So?
Detlev Ivanov : Halim doesn't work for our old friend Sayid. Halim works for the Ministry of the Interior.
Adib Abdul-Kareem : Mun met with the Minister at some benefit.
Detlev Ivanov : And now he wants to talk to you. You're lucky I showed up when I did. Out of practice, Adib.
Adib Abdul-Kareem : Halim keeps asking about photos.
Detlev Ivanov : These photos must be pretty interesting if a government minister is personally involved.
Adib Abdul-Kareem : What do you know about a journalist, Ali Homs?
Detlev Ivanov : [shrugging his shoulders] What about him? He's a mid-level scribe for Ministry of Information.
Adib Abdul-Kareem : Muna talked to him but I don't know where he is. I need your help, Detlev.
Detlev Ivanov : I'll find him for you, this Ali Homs. One last favor for an old friend.
-
Adib Abdul-Kareem : [about a corpse in the morgue that could be Muna] I need to see her eyes.
-
Sayid Abd Al-Aziz : And where are those photos now?
Adib Abdul-Kareem : [moving in closer to be able to talk in a lower tone] They don't exist.
Sayid Abd Al-Aziz : Halim seems to think they do.
Adib Abdul-Kareem : No, there are no photos. Muna heard these stories from a journalist... Ali Homs.
Sayid Abd Al-Aziz : [laughing] And she made up the story of the photos to keep herself alive. Who would have thought you'd end up with such a clever child.

Adib Abdul-Kareem : [seeing Betty shaking a locked filing cabinet drawer] Hey, you need some help?
Betty : [giggling sheepishly] Yes.
Adib Abdul-Kareem : [removing a paper clip from a pile of papers] May I?
Betty : Yeah.
[Adib bends the paper clip with his teeth, then inserts it into the lock, turns the paper clip, then opens the cabinet drawer]
Betty : Wow.
Adib Abdul-Kareem : [as he walks away] Misspent youth.

[last lines]
Muna Abdul-Kareem : [crying after breaking from the passionate embrace with her father inside the Canadian Embassy grounds] I'm so sorry.
Adib Abdul-Kareem : [shaking his head negatively as he kisses her on the forehead] No.
[they embrace and start crying again]
Adib Abdul-Kareem : I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Muna Abdul-Kareem : I'm so sorry.
Adib Abdul-Kareem : [in hushed tones] I'm here. I'm here. And I love you so much.
[Fatima looks on in the verge of tears as Adib finally starts to laugh in pleasure]
