I know how important it is for you.
You've been saying it for so many years.
You have no idea that I want to make you proud.
You know what? Show that you want to make me proud.
I'm so excited. I'm like, "Look! I've got a house!"
So, Kash calls me the other day and he asks me to keep this Sunday free.
Because you're getting married.
Arranged marriages aren't forced marriages.
That's a huge misconception.
It just means an introduction. That could be on, like, Minder.
What's Minder?
Yeah.
It's a new life, new start.
He thinks you'll keep me happy.
Yeah, inshallah.
Do you feel like jobs like this have made you more independent now?
It's a change because it's, like,
I've a bit more control and it's like I'm taking a different route.
I'll challenge you.
I don't have the heart to tell Mum and Dad,
so you're going to have to do that for me.
Come on, man, you know I've got your back.
Shab?
Come here, please.
In the corner.
I don't know how you're going to...
and I'm going to talk to Papa, isn't it? So... Erm...
Shab wants to postpone it.
He's having bad feelings about the whole situation.
It's not bad feelings, I just want to get to know her a bit better
and I think it's a bit rushed.
Obviously, I know I've done it and made it what it is,
but it's a bit...
You know, I just want to get to know her a little bit more.
What shall I do?
So we need you to make the call.
What call?
To her house, speak to the dad.
Do I have to phone them up?
I'll phone her later and speak to her.
I'm feeling a bit, you know...
Disappointed and plus, now it's not one or two people that we invited,
it's nearly...
"Sorry..." The old people are going to think...
They'll get suspicious, "What's happening, what's happening?"
We're going to be in an embarrassing situation, which we are now,
regardless of whether you like it or not, yeah?
And, yeah, at the end of the day, that's not really what important,
but it still makes a difference, doesn't it?
Papa feels embarrassed, Oumi feels embarrassed.
Their family feels embarrassed.
Yeah, but this is why I can't be bothered with this shit.
This is why I kept saying to you, everyone's like,
"You're getting married," you keep saying to me, "Find somebody."
Papa's saying, "Find someone..."
This ain't...
This is something else.
OK, fair enough, it's embarrassing, but then what?
So I just go ahead with it?
The last thing I want to do is upset you, upset the family,
be an embarrassment.
I'm trying to do the right thing.
Do it once, do it properly.
I can get married ten times over, being a guy who's divorced,
because the stigma doesn't attach to guys.
Unfortunately, that's the reality of it.
It's not right, but it is.
OK. OK, OK, OK.
Inshallah.
Everything will be OK.
Don't worry.
We'll do something better for you, OK?
My baby son, you know, he's very...
He's in pain, you know.
Don't worry, hey? OK, eh?
Mine is a Turbo S, yeah?
How we doing? What's happening?
So this is you today?
You think you're going to stand a chance with this, bruv?
Are you having a fucking laugh?
Jeez!
I'll race anything you want, bro. I'm ready for you.
Yo, why don't you put your money where your mouth is?
You're talking to me, son?
Whose pocket money's that?
Winner takes all? All right.
Listen, let's just get something straight here, by the way, yeah?
No, listen, all of you guys are witness to this, yeah? All right?
I don't want to hear no bullshit afterwards, yeah,
that this was just jokes, yeah?
If I lose, bro, I'm losing my dough, innit?
Listen, listen, listen, I've got it.
No!
Babe. It's coming home.
It's all wrapped up.
Come on, Kash!
YELLING
CHEERING
134 in 9.9.
I still had to let off...
Whoo!
Well done, man.
Shella! It's coming home, baby.
I got this, innit?
So I hit 136mph, 9.9 seconds, a quarter of a mile.
Towards the end, at the finishing line, the car started, er...
..er, juddering,
and I was absolutely shitting myself, if I'm honest.
Still, nonetheless, 9.9 second quarter of a mile.
I smashed the fuck out of him, so...
But, yeah, fair play to him. He's brought a fast car.
It was an unlucky day,
but that's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes, so...
I'll be back.
Listen, you've got to give this man some respect, bro.
You get what I'm saying, yeah? Yeah, he brought it.
He brought it, innit, at the end of the day? What do I say?
I've always said, yeah, without a winner, there's no loser -
without a loser, there's no winner.
Shisha, shisha's on me, everyone.
Shisha is on me.
What are you going to have today?
What do you feel like having today?
We haven't really had a chance to speak, so update me.
What's the latest?
Well...
..I have been speaking with her,
but the reasons why I wanted to postpone it
is because I feel I don't really...
You know, I haven't really got to know her as well as I should,
and it's really put me off this whole sort of arranged route,
because I think, you know,
you really want to kind of spend time alone with them.
Just to see if you bond and if you gel well together, yeah.
Because that's what life's about. It's not for the moment, it's...
You know, you have to think ahead.
I wouldn't want to ruin any girl's life.
I wouldn't like it if someone done it to you.
Married you if he didn't like you or love you.
I'd rather him walk.
You know, there's too many people out there... They get married
only to realise that that person's not right for them.
They're either stuck and then they have problems and then they divorce
and I didn't want to be that person.
It was one of the hardest decisions I had to make.
Yeah, you did look stressed.
I felt sick, I felt physically sick.
What will people say?
you shouldn't worry about anybody else. You come first.
No, of course, I understand that, but at the same time,
you know, it's... Mum and Dad told everybody.
Her parents told everybody.
A part of me feels like, you know, I'm to blame
for not calling it off sooner.
But I'd rather that than go ahead with a nikah, with the marriage.
And then have issues.
And then have issues, and then end up sending her home.
I think, in my heart of hearts, I made the right decision.
You did and it's just a blessing in disguise, so don't feel...
Don't be on a downer about it.
You know what the sad thing in this whole thing is?
It's this approach and this backwards mentality
of not allowing me and her to have this space
to actually get to know one another.
You know, and it's a very hypocritical thing
in this society we live in.
You know, which is why I always say to you, if you see someone
and you like them, you tell me and I'll make it happen.
Welcome home.
Oh, wow, wow!
Come on, Mari, hurry up, man! Come and have a look at the house.
It's nice, isn't it?
Look, it's got the hidden living room, Papa, over here.
Very nice.
Like it? Fully open, look.
Three-car garage.
Yeah. Jacuzzi pool.
What do you think, Mari, eh? Shella's kitchen?
Hey! Do you like your new house?
How many bedrooms?
And it's got one downstairs as well, so there could be, like, five.
Hug? Aw!
Do you like it?
Look at you in the new house! In the new house!
It's nice, innit?
Are you proud, Papa? Finally?
I can die peacefully now.
I'm proud of all my children.
Mashallah.
Come on, let's have some snacks. Come on, let's sit down.
Let's feast.
Want to share with me?
Listen to Papa first.
Bless this house.
You all right?
Yeah.
I'm very happy and proud of you.
Mashallah.
The dream house, mashallah.
Cheers.
So, we have a present for you, as well.
We have a surprise.
Come on.
SHE GASPS
I told you, innit? A car, yeah.
Do you like my car?
You've always been complaining for so long about wanting a new car,
needing a new car, so now you have it.
I didn't even want a new car yet.
"I don't want a new car yet."
How many times has she moaned about a new car? All day, every day!
"Need a new car, need a new car, need more space, need this..."
Mummy car.
Mummy's car, yeah, high five.
High five, Mummy.
Mummy nose-nose?
Here, let me do a selfie with me in it.
Three, two, one, cheese.
Cheese!
Boom!
