Another movie we made for Arabic class! "No, Khalid, No!" (An American Program) Starring: Kelsey as Maha Vieshnavi as Professor Nadia & as Girl 1 Jessica as Girl 2 & as the waitress Jeff as Khalid Scene 1: In class Khalid comes to class and greets his professor. She greets him politely, and he launches into a heartfelt speech about his loneliness and how he really just wants to marry an Arabic Professor. She declines, at first nicely, and then sternly. Khalid hangs his head and walks over to his desk. Maha arrives in class. Khalid launches into his speech yet again and to his delight, Maha suggests they go out to eat. Khalid says this is moomtaaz! (fantastic!) Scene 2: Maha's Room Maha tells a little monologue about how she is lonely and feels like a stranger in America. She has no siblings and her parents work all the time. All she really wants is a friend. Scene 3: The Gossip Two girls meet up to chat. They discuss the probable (or rather, improbable) marriage of Maha and Khalid. They gossip about how Maha just wants a boyfriend, and how Khalid doesn't understand anything at all and how he talks too much. Scene 4: The Restaurant Maha and Khalid go out to eat. Khalid, in his excitement, begins telling Maha all about how he envisions their life. They will have a big house, three children, and live in the state of Minnesota. Maha is not pleased and tells Khalid she doesn't think this is a good idea. Scene 5: Sad Khalid Rejected, Khalid sits on the side of the road. "My name is Khalid," he says. "I am lonely." --Cast of Characters-- LY211: Modern Arabic 3 4.30.09
