Text

ZAID: Never been to Croydon before.

DEJI: It’s Purley.

ZAID: That’s not the same thing?

DEJI: No.

ZAID: Right.

DEJI: And what about my parents? Do they matter? They’re not going to be happy with me pretending to be Muslim.

ZAID: Don’t tell them. Simple. Welcome to benign Asian.

DEJI: But I’m not Asian.
