And the best part? Meriam's final hearing passed, and she's here to stay. The real Jason and Meriam are still together, still married, and (I hope!) still in love.
Watch it if you have the chance...

- Quotes
Meriam's Mother: You kissed him. In the desert.
Meriam: No, no I didn't!
Meriam's Mother: At the Tree of Life, you kissed him. The secret police saw your lips on his.
Meriam: The secret police? You had me followed!
Meriam's Mother: I don't need to have you followed, Meriam. Everyone knows who you ARE! Everyone but me. I trusted you! I should never have let you go to that mall, to those American movies...kissing in public! What do you do when no-one else can see?
- Alternate versionsA later pressing of the movie had a postscript tacked at the end of the movie that updated the condition of the real life couple, from the Americanization of Mariam to the couple's divorce.
