Sarah quotes from Little Mosque on the Prairie

Sarah

A small explosion at the mosque, what's the big deal? [pause] Okay when you say it out loud...

Sarah

I don't remember much about growing up Anglican but I must've been there.

Sarah

[making community announcements] There's an Interfaith Council meeting... Ah, who cares about that?

Sarah

[making announcements again] And then when I was twelve we got a turtle...

Mayor Popowicz

I can work with the truth.

But only as a last resort.

Sarah

Fred Tupper standing up for oppressed women?

Mayor Popowicz

I think he's standing up for oppressed boobs.

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.

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.

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!

Sarah

I was selfish and horrible.

Rayyan

Yes, you were, but so was I.

Sarah

Ah!

Rayyan

Although much less so

You two are exactly alike.

[simultaneously] No we're not!

Baber

Isn't that wonderful? A convert!

Sarah

Hello! I'm right here! I'm a convert too!

Baber

Yes but he's serious!

Sarah

I'm sorry Anne. I was just praying.

Mayor Popowicz

Wow. You and Yasser must have been extra naughty this weekend.

Sarah

No it's not that. Although there was this one thing were he was a TV repairman and I was dressed as a... I'm sorry. What were we talking about?

I told her [he would not marry Samira]... And then she had a mild heart attack.

Sarah

Then tell her again and finish the job!

Mayor Popowicz

How long are you going to sleep in my office?

Sarah

Until Yasser stand up to his mother.

Mayor Popowicz

Good thing I'm running for a third term.

Are you sorry you doubted me?

Sarah

No, sometimes I'm sorry I married you.
