• Omer : One and two, three and four, five, hey!

  Iqbal Riza : What are you doing?

  Omer : Nothing, nothing, I'm just rehearsing some dance steps.

  Iqbal Riza : Oh...

  Omer : Look Iqbal, I am so sorry...

  Iqbal Riza : Stop!I don't want your pity. Does it look like I need pity?

  Omer : No, no, no you have far too much dignity.

  Iqbal Riza : If these people know nothing about talent there's not much I can do about it, is there? So let's see it. Let's see your dance steps.

  Omer : Oh... alright. One and two, three and four.

  Iqbal Riza : [Iqbal waves his hand up to Omer for him to stop] 

  Omer : What?

  Iqbal Riza : Oh there's no way you're going to win this thing.

  Omer : I know, I fear as much.

  Iqbal Riza : [Iqbal sighs and looks him up and down] 

  [Iqbal takes Omer to his stage] 

  Iqbal Riza : Get up there, up on the stage.

  Omer : Are you sure?

  Iqbal Riza : Do it! Before I change my mind. Okay, now this is just a bass track. It's good for practicing moves too.

  [Iqbal turns on the stereo] 

  Omer : Mmm. I don't like this kind of music.

  Iqbal Riza : It's just a bass track! It's just for rehearsal!

  Omer : Okay...

  Iqbal Riza : [Iqbal sighs]  Now one problem you have is you move like a reanimated corpse in a zombie movie. Not good, you need to loosen up. Okay, come on, let's go, free form jazz dancing. Right now, immediately.

  Omer : Iqbal, why are you helping me? I destroyed your dream.

  Iqbal Riza : Yeah, you did, but that was yesterday. Today I turned a page in a new chapter in my life. I'm not sure being a performer was ever what I was really meant for. I'm more of a behind the scenes player, a puppeteer, a svengali if you will. As of today I'm your manager.

• Shazzy Riza : Hey Omer, want to go to the mall?

  Omer : We just went last weekend.

  Iqbal Riza : Yeah, and now we're going again.

  Omer : Why, did you forget to purchase something?

• Iqbal Riza : She's a very freaky girl, the kind you don't bring home to mother. She's a super freak, super freak, she's super freaky. Ohhhhhhh

  Iqbal Riza : [Iqbal coughs] 

  [turns and talks into the mirror] 

  Iqbal Riza : Wrong, do you want this? Do you? Well than get your ass in gear!

• Shazzy Riza : So at the mall today, I upgraded my plan to 5,000 minutes, but it's a family plan.

  Omer : Thank you auntie.

  Iqbal Riza : You should have gone to 10,000.

  Omer : Um, Iqbal.

  Iqbal Riza : Yeah.

  Omer : Something very odd happened today, it's funny really.You see, uh, these people from the American Dreamz television show came by.

  Iqbal Riza : Yeah?

  Omer : And uh...

  Iqbal Riza : And?

  Omer : And uh, I was using your stage and they heard me singing and they wanted me to be on the show.

  Omer : Mmmmm.

  Iqbal Riza : I'm sorry , did you say that they want YOU to sing on the show?

  Omer : Mm huh, isn't that amusing.

  Shazzy Riza : Holy crap!

  Nazneen Riza : Shazzy.

  Ali Aziz : Congratulations Omer!

  Omer : Thankyou!

  Iqbal Riza : Congratulations Omer! That's what you have to say Congratulations Omer! Do you know how hard I worked to get on this show? You stole my dream!

  Omer : I'm so sorry, I told them, I told them they had made a mistake, but do not worry. I will simply refuse to be on the television show, yes, yes and then they must take you instead.

  Iqbal Riza : They don't want me. Nobody want's me!

  Nazneen Riza : Nonsense sweetheart, we all love you.

  Iqbal Riza : Is that going to make me famous? I don't think so!
