Supermarket. Veronica passes Nasir at the magazine rack (is that a Modern Anti-Semite I see?) and heads for the guy at the photo counter. She gives him a typical cock-and-bull story about her boyfriend "over there" (she nods at Nasir) being too embarrassed to pick up the photos he just dropped off, as they're pics of "special moments with special friends." The photo guy asks if Nasir's really her boyfriend. "It's like dating a young Omar Sharif," she says. "Desert fever." The photo guy says the machine's been jamming up, but it's on their last photo right now. While she waits, Veronica heads over to Nasir and asks him for the time. They're out of earshot, but the photo guy can hear them. Nasir churlishly obliges, and Veronica hilariously rubs his upper arm and says thank-you. Satisfied, the photo guy hands the pics over to Veronica, who tosses a "See you back at the apartment" Nasir's way as she leaves. And she blows a kiss. Nasir watches her leave and goes to ask for his photos. He's told that his "girlfriend" took them, and he flips out. Photo guy tells him to "count to ten" and says he's still got a few prints from when the machine jammed before. Which would be ridiculously cold comfort for anyone who isn't in Nasir's position of only wanting those one or two incriminating photos, so I guess we're all lucky this contrived situation worked out the way it did.
Elsewhere, Wallace and Piz are at a local bar, watching some brunette hottie play pool. It looks like she just finished hustling some dude, and Wallace decides that twenty bucks is worth losing if it means he gets to talk to her. Piz is like, "I thought tonight was about me." Wallace horndogs that that was before he saw Fast Lady Felson over there, but Piz cuts the little "Judas" off and makes the approach. He storms the table, slaps a twenty onto the felt, and says, "I got twenty bucks that says you can whip my ass and make me like it!" Fast Lady Felson says she likes a confident man and gets to setting up her rack. Also, she places the balls in the triangle thingie.
Veronica, meanwhile, shows up at Amira's dorm with the incriminating photos. Amira's grateful, for once, and invites Veronica in. Veronica says that Nasir, while a bit on the nosy side, wasn't too hard on the eyes. Amira says if she didn't have a problem being "treated like property," she'd probably be cool with marrying him. Veronica's picking up what Amira's putting down, but before they can go into it further, there's a knock at the door. It's Papamira, and boy is he pissed. He's got the partially developed photo Nasir gave him, and luckily, none of the good parts were lost to the vagaries of the photo machine. It's tough to tell if Papamira is angry about the Jewish thing on its merits alone or if it's merely that he believes Amira's coupling has drawn the ire of "the community" and that's why they got vandalized. Veronica asks whether "community" refers to Jews or Arabs. "Either," yells Papamira, "or both!" He continues his tirade, telling Veronica that none of this is her concern anymore: she's fired. Veronica gathers herself and says she works for Papamira's wife, and if Mamamira wants to fire her, she can ring her up. Poor Papamira looks like he needs a hug. And for all the women in his life to stop thinking for themselves.
