Fatima quotes from Little Mosque on the Prairie

Fatima

[about Islam in Africa] Yes. From an African perspective. You usually only hear the missionary position.

Fatima

I think it's a lovely hijab, Layla. You look like a big, grown... [Baber leaves the room] What is going on here?

Amaar

How am I supposed to prepare for Ramadan when the whole town's in an uproar. What were you people thinking?

Fatima

This is that convert Sarah's fault. Tell me: aren't goats more traditional than cucumbers?

Amaar

You've lost me.

Would it kill you Muslim girls to show a bit more... uh.. cleavage? Now and then.

Fatima

Would it kill you if I hit you with a cleaver?

Fatima

I don't want a bunch of men leering at me while I pray.

Baber

And I don't want you women distracted by my bottom.

Sarah

Trust me Baber, no one is looking at your bottom.

Fatima

People are afraid of things they don't understand.

Rayyan

That's true. That's why I'm afraid of Baber.

Baber

If I don't get to talk, I'm out! I knew this was a bad idea.

Fatima

I'm with Baber! We're... What's the word?

Baber

Boycotting!

Fatima

I was gonna say "pissed off", but... Yes! We're boycotting!

Fred

[leaving] Radio show is on in 15...

Fatima

Oh, thanks for reminding me. [turns off the radio]

Fred

Nice try Fatima, but you can't silence the voice of the people that easily.

Fatima

I disagree. Shut. Up. See?

Rayyan

Looks like a nasty sprain.

Fatima

You don't have to dumb it down for me. I came for your medical opinion.

Rayyan

You vitiated your anterior cruciate ligament.

Fatima

Oh no... What does that mean?

Rayyan

Looks like a nasty sprain.

Fatima

Who's going to cook for my customers? You?

Rayyan

Not unless you've got really good insurance

Fatima

It's only Halloween. It's not like they're out drinking and dirty dancing!

We're not?

Fatima

Watch your smart mouth or you go nowhere!

Baber

What if he leaves Islam to become a witch?

You can do that?

Baber

The boy is Fatima's; the female is mine.

Layla

The female?

So, you two are... divorced?

Fatima

Oh no no. My husband passed on. Baber's wife passed on Baber.

Fatima

It's from the kosher butcher.

You should stop patronizing Jewish businesses.

Fatima

And you should stop patronizing me.

Fatima

Another muffin?

Reverend Magee

I'd never forgive myself... but Jesus will. Bring it on.

Fatima

You're an impossible man!

Baber

I am entirely possible!
