[Mahumd notices someone leave his real father's room, unaware that it is a Rabbi]
Mahmud Nasir:
Dad? [Tries to hug him]
Rabbi:
Ugh! I don't think so. Firstly, you appear to be Muslim.
Mahmud Nasir:
Yes, I'm sorry.
Rabbi:
And secondly, I'm perhaps five years younger than you.
Mahmud Nasir:
Yes, you're right. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Is Izzy Shimshillewitz in there?
Rabbi:
Yes.
Mahmud Nasir:
Can I go in, please?
Rabbi:
Uh, I'm afraid not.
Mahmud Nasir:
No, you don't understand. I'm his son, I think.
Rabbi:
Do you have some sort of syndrome?
Mahmud Nasir:
No, no, my real parents were Jews. I was adopted. I've just found out my birth name is Shimshillewitz.
Rabbi:
Really? And you're definitely Isaac's son, are you?
Mahmud Nasir:
Yes, yes... well, I must be.
Rabbi:
Look, I'm sorry, but as Mr. Shimshillewitz is Rabbi, I have to think of his welfare first. He's a very sick man, now.
Mahmud Nasir:
Then you have to let me in.
Rabbi:
Look at you! A Muslim son? He's an observant Jew. It'd kill him stone dead.
Mahmud Nasir:
What must I do?
Rabbi:
What do you know about Jews?
Mahmud Nasir:
They've got big noses? They like money... oh, they do. Uh, sportsmen?
Rabbi:
OK, so the answer is nothing. Look, what you have to do, and quickly, is think about what it means to be a Jew, OK? And then we'll think about letting you in. Oh, and by the way, when you thought I was your Dad, sort of a shrivelled old man... was it because of the hairless thing? Because that is genetic. OK?
[Mahmud nods]
