00:06A boy reaches the age of accountability when he has something called a wet dream, which is a dream about
00:12water.
00:13I've had a lot of wet dreams.
00:15Alright, that was very personal.
00:20My mustache started growing when I was 10 years old.
00:23It's a problem. I'm not supposed to shave it.
00:26Don't Ilyaz, it will only grow back more.
00:29At some point, I realized that I exist within a complex lattice of rules that govern my entire life.
00:34Are you crying?
00:38What do you want to do next? You want to join a gang?
00:42Ilyaz!
00:43You are going to Miller High School.
00:44Just so you know, you gotta go something under there.
00:46I want to go back to Cordoba. There must be something I can do.
00:49Yes!
00:50Do you want to be friends?
00:53Ilyaz is not like Asim.
00:54What if Miller High turned me into a bad newsletting?
00:57Would they be forced to send you back?
01:00Will you help corrupt me?

01:24It's not my fault!
01:25Whose fault is it, Ilyaz?
01:28Don't stop creating, even if it's just to figure yourself out.
01:31Lately, I've been imagining myself going somewhere where I can finally be alone.
01:35No one would ever have to see me or my upper lip ever again.
01:38Oh my God, you're so dramatic.
01:42Ilyaz?
01:45That was, uh, we have to invest in the youth.
01:49Okay.
01:51Did you just buy a Big Mac, then cook your own halal burger to trick us all into thinking
01:56you're eating an actual Big Mac?
01:58I'm loving this.
01:59I learned this at public school.
