"I know you hate requests, but do you have any Shannon?"
My mother, after a meal at The Helmand: "America, what a funny place. They'll go to war with you, but then eat your food, too."
Last night, as Nas' "One Love" was playing:
Do you have any more Moroccan music?
More Moroccan music?
Yes.
More?
Yes.
No, we don't have any Moroccan music, sorry.
(Silence. Disappointed, almost judging look.)
Sorry.
(Disappears around corner.)
(To Chhay, the other DJ) Did she say Moroccan music? Or 'more rockin'' music? I didn't know we played Moroccan music here.
(Re-emerges from behind wall) I said Moroccan music. Something more mellow. (Squeezes face) Not this gangster rap.
