How can we be honored by having Cairo's lights extinguished, while we refuse displacement and Israeli temptations?

Who are you afraid of? Expel the ambassador or expel me?

I'm telling you right now, directly.

No, ma'am, we're benefiting from him.

The Israeli ambassador.

Perhaps he's useful.

Okay, how are we benefiting from the ambassador?

He might be useful at a certain stage.

No, no, I can't hold back my laughter any longer.

She couldn't help laughing at what she said, let alone us.

Ma'am, I know that laughter heals any wound.

But not the wounds we're dealing with right now.

I'm sorry, but you're really missing the point here.

Basically, when the Israelis challenge all of Egypt, saying we can't expel the ambassador...

And Egypt really can't expel the ambassador.

So, frankly, what other option do we have?

Ma'am, the least you can do, if you can't withdraw the ambassador...

Take something else away from him.

Your greeting, for example.

We're benefiting from him.

I'm dying to know why we don't want to withdraw the ambassador.

Everyone, this guy is basically getting paid while we do his work.

Because he's useful.

Why does she treat the ambassador like he's some piece of junk?

For certain uses, obviously.

So what are the uses of the Israeli ambassador?

He creates discord between two Arab countries, for example.

He helps implement the peace treaty.

Besides, what does peace itself accomplish?
