Sleeper Cell · Season 1

Catherine Bishop, Darwyn and others in “Soldier”

[after accidentally being served pork]

Catherine Bishop

Darwyn, I'm sorry, I had no idea you're a vegetarian.

Darwyn

[eyes Gayle] I'm not, I'm a Muslim.

Marcus Bishop

Muslim, huh?

Catherine

So um, I guess Muslims don't eat pork?

Darwyn

Goes back to the days of the Prophet, when pigs had trichinosis.

Marcus

Well, they don't anymore, at least not the ones in Southern California.

Darwyn

It's more of a tradition I guess.

Marcus

Had no idea you people had so much in common with the Jews.

Catherine

Jim! [to Darwyn] He's kidding.

Marcus

What? I just want to know what the big deal is!

Darwyn

You're a Catholic, right?

Marcus

Uh huh.

Darwyn

So maybe you don't eat meat on Fridays.

Marcus

No, I actually eat meat every day of the week. You're missing out, guy.

Darwyn

Well, look. You know, there's gotta be something in your life that you do or you don't do simply because you believe in it. No disrespect, but you don't cheat on your wife, right?

Marcus

What kind of a question is that?

Darwyn

Because if you did, you'd be breaking the rules that you believe in.

Marcus

No, I don't do it because I love her. If you ask me, only a member of the Taliban would compare eating pork to cheating on your wife. [grins awkwardly]
