Emily went to the United Nations Headquarters for schooling.
-
"Dad, Mom! I got in!"
"Where? Which school?"
"The U.N! I'm going to be an Arabic translator!"
-
There she met a man who used to be an Islamic militant, her teacher. He confided in her when his memories were too much. Later on, she ended up marrying him.
-
"Hello, I'm Jahal, your personal teacher."
"Emily Winchester. Nice to meet you."
-
"My head hurts."
"Why? Do you want medicine?"
"No, no. It won't help. My nightmares cause my pains."
"Nightmares about what?"
"The people I killed."
-
"Our religious backgrounds are different, Jahal. It wouldn't work."
"Civil ceremonies are wonderful."
-
Emily traveled all around the world, translating, while Jahal traveled too, teaching others of what horrors the terrorists commit.
-
"Hello, Ms. Beah. Please tell Mr. Ahmadinejad, 'good day and hopefully we can resolve this conflict of interest involving our countries'."
"Yes, Ms. Rice."
-
"And our guest speaker tonight is Jahal Beah, a previous Islamic militant."
Applause.
-
They had two children before setting down in New York where they both worked at the U.N., but in different departments.
-
"Leigh sounds like a nice American name."
"It's is, Jahal."
"Let's name her that then."
-
"Jibar is an Iranian name, right?"
"Yes, Emily."
"Do you like it?"
"Yes, Emily."
"Jibar Beah is our new son then."
-
"We can't keep touring the planet, Jahal. We have kids now. It's affecting them."
"I know."
"We should settle down."
"Let's live in New York. We can still work at the United Nations then."
"Smart man."
-
They met a lot of controversy though, over their marriage, but they pulled through.
-
"You don't harass gold diggers."
"So?"
"We at least married for love."
