Rayyan quotes from Little Mosque on the Prairie

Rayyan

Three seconds of male enlightenment. That's a new record.

Rayyan

Okay. I have to get to the clinic. But once I'm gone, just imagine that after everything mom says, I am saying "That's right!".

Rayyan

[to Sarah] I'll pick you a copy of Islam for Dummies on my way home.

Rayyan

[ausculting Mother Hamoudi] You're fine! We could fox-trot to the beat of your heart! [pause] I have been watching way too much Dancing with the Stars lately.

Rayyan

I don't just fix wrists; I can break them too, you know!

Baber

The enemy is in your kitchen.

Rayyan

And maybe while the enemy's in there he could do the dishes.

Rayyan

I thought you'd drag us into the modern world. Or at least the 11th century.

Amaar

Yes, so did I. That's why I gave up being a lawyer

Rayyan

Oh. And there I thought you just sucked at that too.

Rayyan

[sitting on the barrier to keep Baber from setting it back up] You're not supposed to touch me.

Baber

Please, forgive me, sister Rayyan. I totally forgot myself.

Rayyan

Of course.

Baber

It'll never happen again

Rayyan

Good

Baber

Gimme that piece of wood so I can push her off!

Fatima

People are afraid of things they don't understand.

Rayyan

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

Amaar

Baber, please don't talk about things you don't understand.

Rayyan

Then he'd never say anything.

Rayyan

Muslims do date.

Sarah

[butts in] You call that dating? It's more like a job interview.

Rayyan

Mom, no. It's more like window shopping. See, you don't need to taste the cake to know that it's gonna be delicious.

Sarah

[interrupts again] Of course you do! The cake could look good and still be crummy. Or it may be a fruitcake and you know how we all feel about fruitcake...

Rayyan

Mom! Step away from the metaphor.

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

Rayyan

But we're so close...

Mayor Popowicz

Close only counts at horseshoes. Do Muslim play horseshoes? I find these little cultural differences so interesting.

Rayyan

Can we focus please?

Sarah

Honey, I didn't sabotage the petition. I mean, I didn't mean to sabotage the petition... I mean... [to Yasser] Okay, did I sabotage the petition?

Rayyan

You know you did. You undermined me so that you could go on a trip. That's evil.

Sarah

Oh my God... That's exactly what I did... But it was sleazy, not evil!
