what's up, guys? it's me, karim, from "are we famous now?" the other day... ...we went outside to shoot a video where i go out and ask people in public for dates... wearing this t-shirt. there was one reaction in particular that caught us off guard and was completely outrageous. that was when the woman found out i was a muslim. it was uncalled for. but you can see the reaction for yourself.
take a look. (karim) excuse me? *chuckle* (karim) i know this might be award but, i just might not get the chance again. i want to tell you, you're really stunning. you look beautiful. (woman) (chinese accent) well, thank you! that's sweet of you. (karim) you're welcome. my name is karim.
(woman) i'm denice, nice to meet you. (karim) nice to meet you, denice. so uh, do you come around here often? (denice) no, i'm actually waiting for my friend -- she's supposed to be here. (karim) okay. so uh, it's a she, not a he. (denice) it is a she. (laughs) (karim) okay, good! so that means you're, uh, single. are you single? (denice) i am.
(karim) nice. so, how 'bout you ditch your friend and come hang out with me? (both laugh) (denice) no. (chuckles) (karim) i was joking. i was joking, i was joking. (denice) i promised her we would hang out, just don't know why it's taking her so long. (karim) well, i mean -- it seems like you're busy, then. ahh, and i'm just gonna get going.
but is it ok, before i go to get your ...uh... number? (denice) my number? (karim) yeah. (denice giggles) (karim) c'mon. (denice) well, i don't know, but let me ask you a question first. (karim) sure. (denice) do you just do this to, like, every single girl? (karim) no, i don't "just do this" to every single girl.
but if they were as beautiful as you, i'd do it all the time. (denice) you're so cute. (karim) heh, thanks. so... i guess that's a yes for the number. (denice) i don't know. i guess... i guess... (denice) ...give it to you. (karim) thank you. (karim) you just gotta swipe right there. there you go. (denice) ah. (denice) just make sure you text me so i... i have your number.
(denice) text me your name. (karim) alright. you got it. it's karim, k-a-r-i-m. (denice) what'd you say? (karim) karim. (denice) where are you from? (karim) umm, well i was born here but my parents are egyptian, so... (karim) ...it's a muslim name. (denice) it's a what? (karim) it's a muslim name. means "generous."
(serious music begins) (denice) really, seriously. delete my number. (denice) ...i... (karim) is it becau-... (karim, groaning) oh my god... (chuckles sarcastically) (karim) nonono, lis-lis-... (woman) just erase my number, and stop following me. (karim) i don't even want your number, but just give me-- (karim) wow. unbelievable.
