Which I guess is why he'd care about the Israel stuff? Did we know this about him? I am, I will tell you right now, shit for Middle East politics. Realpolitik in general interests me less than matters of faith, which makes decoding this stuff a lot tougher, literally because of how my brain works. But I'll try to stay on it for you as much as I can.
Brody: "Herm hmm bleghhh you should leave."
Roya: "For real, okay. Issa's birthday is Monday. He would have been 13, had he survived the drone strike. Do you remember what you gave him for his tenth birthday? He was scared of the big, black crows that perched on the villa walls. You made him a slingshot."
Brody: "I'm listening. You said the magic word."
Roya: "Nazir wants you to do something tricky. David Estes is briefing you tomorrow morning on homeland security. Here's the code to a safe in his office which contains the encryption key to a database of potential targets."
Brody: "Meaning you're planning hit one of them, I assume."
Roya: "Pronoun check! I think you meant 'we' are."
Brody: "Listen, I told Nazir I'd influence these lawmakers by becoming a Congressman. That's a full-time, scary terrorist job. I do not need two jobs."
Roya: "I know you honestly think that. And it's adorable, but..."
Brody: "No matter how unlikely it is that I would be able to maintain this 'working within the system' fantasy, I'm still not willing to consider myself a terrorist. I gave that up once I took off my suicide vest."
Roya: "Well, first of all you are totally a terrorist. But maybe we should Luntz it up and call this a justifiable act of retaliation."
Brody: "Uh, it's still innocent civilians getting killed..."
Roya: "And the 3000 Iranian civilians Israel just took out?"
Brody: "Those numbers are bullshit. Iran and Israel both have different reasons for okaying those numbers, but come on."
Roya: "Either way, blatant aggression against a sovereign nation cannot go unanswered. What are they, Palestine? Iran is a real country! You come on."
Brody: "But it will be hard!"
Roya: "No, it will be easy. You leave this up to me."
