Question 3 of 3
Naomi: Getting a bank account.

Rami: Another straw.
Mariam: One more straw.
Rami: Where will I get one of them? Oh.
Mariam: Oh ice. Ice, ice, ice.
Rami: Ice, ice, ice.
Mariam: We've got to help these two get a bank account.
Ziad: Uncle, that is not an ice cube. Sorry.
Mariam: You guys really need to get an Australian bank account.
Leila: Oh. Yes. Actually, I need a local bank account for my new job.
Ziad: Tell him you want to be paid cash, Leila. Cash, always cash.
Leila: Better to have cash in a bank than frozen in a block of ice.
Rami: Unless, of course, you are planning on making me more cash cocktails.
Mariam: Most employers don't want to pay cash. Many people don't use cash, they tap their card or use their phone. Tap.
Leila: Okay, let's look at some banks. Ziad, find all our cash.
Ziad: Leila, I don't like all this tippy tapping. The freezer cash stays. Just in case, you know, like...
Rami: More cash cocktails?
Ziad: Exactly, Uncle.
Mariam: Now, let's find one and see what forms of ID they need.
Leila: ID?
Mariam: Identification, to prove who you are. You just need to go down there with your two passports and some phone bills with this address on them.
Rami: Uh, I think I should drive you to the bank.
Ziad: Yallah Uncle, let's go. Can we stop for a meat pie?
Rami: Yes, have you got any cash?
Ziad: Little bit.
———
Ziad: First working week done. Congrats my little Aussie.
Leila: You've got mail.
Ziad: What's this? A love letter? Oh you have one too.
———
Naomi: After showing some ID, identification, they got their account and later the bank sent them their cards. Their cash is now in the bank.
So earlier, Ziad was all like. And now he's all like, bleep. All the bleeps.
