Leyla: He's 6'7". All I can see is his navel.
Leyla: I haven't got a disease.
Leyla: If I could help it, I would. But, I can't.
Leyla: I'm not happy with him.
Leyla: Mom, I can't be happy with him, the way I'm not happy with Olli (SP?) and I've always known why. But...
Leyla: Mom, it's not a sin. I've haven't killed or stolen.
Leyla: You know, you once told me to be more at peace with myself, thanks to you, I am. And I'm telling you the same thing.
Leyla's Mother: Are you trying to kill me? Creeping into the house like a robber.
Leyla's Mother: First, you stop coming to mosque. Now, you are up to your neck in sin.
Leyla's Mother: It's a huge sin!
Leyla's Mother: Then, you will burn in Hell!
Leyla's Mother: Who did this to you?
Leyla's Mother: Will someone take this awful bread back to Africa where it belongs?
Maya: What about being raped and murdered? And clean underwear?
Tala: ...you don't understand. Jordan, it's is a very unforgiving place.
Tala: We've been set up.
Uncle Ramzi: Handsome is good. But ask your auntie why she married me. Looks and character come and go. Only large sums of money last forever.
