MJ: As I said, Naji, you know, there's scrutiny on you, and that's not going to go away. There's scrutiny on your mom, she's a contractor with the embassy, that's not going to go away unless we sit down and get down to business. You don't want to come into the embassy, for good– you say for good reason, but meanwhile your mom is employed at the US consulate. So for you to say as an American, "I don't want to go into the embassy to meet with you, and there's a good reason for that." It's just, to us, it should have been done there. We did you a favor by agreeing to do it outside of the embassy, here, in this city. So, you know, Naji, there's really just not more I can say right now.
NM: I'm even trying to decipher what you're trying to say right now.
MJ: What I'm trying to say is, you don't want to come into the embassy to do it. Fine. You know, I– we said we'd do it outside of the embassy. This isn't a, meeting hasn't been a priority to you. In fact, you haven't wanted to sit with us, since we've talked, since I've been back in country. Okay. You say you want to get things resolved. I say there's scrutiny on you. There's scrutiny on your mom. She's employed by the consulate, and yet you don't want, or she's employed at the consulate, through a contractor, and you're saying you don't want to come to the embassy, and there's a good reason for that. So I said meet us.
NM: Exactly. My position hasn’t changed. My position hasn't changed. The scrutiny on my mother has nothing to do with anything, unless you you're making a threat. And currently I told you the situation here, [Mike], that in this country I'm kind of like, have you heard of the expression that beggars are not choosers? I'm on contract. I'm on contract, so I'm not giving you any illegitimate excuse. While you're here, I've bent over backwards. And I really don't like your tone. I don't like your tone, [Mike]. I don't like your tone.
MJ: Naji–
NM: You have scrutiny on me for what? What do you have on me? You have nothing on me. I've done nothing. You cannot tell me…
MJ: Then let's sit down and talk about it.
NM: I'm trying to work something out with you here, but you don't understand my situation and you're trying to push me into a corner. Make me feel bad about shit that I have no control over!
MJ: Naji, I'm trying to set up a meeting with you.
[BREAK]
MJ: Naji, it's [Mike].
NM: Yeah.
MJ: Listen, as I said, I highly suggest you make yourself available to us to talk. But I'm not going to beg, and that's all I can say.
NM: I'm even trying to decipher what you're trying to say right now.
