I keep my luggage light! And, by the 
way, you know what they did at the 
customs? They wanted to know if I was 
single! And then they asked me to prove 
that I was only a tourist, they were 
like: "why do you have such a big bag" - 
well duh that's because I travel so 
light that I don't check in! I was 
trying to explain them that I'm a nomad, 
I showed them all my stamps on my 
passport, but they couldn't care less! 

LEKU 

Did they get you to the security room? 

JESSA 

No, please. But they were so annoying. 

ZIYANDA 

Yeah. They take me to the security room 
every single time I travel. Tales of a 
Black woman entering Schengen... 

JESSA 

Yeah. Border are so...now that I've been 
to Lebanon, that is what I'm gonna go 
through if I enter Israel. 

LEKU 

Well well well come on now, time to 
relax. I'm gonna get your luggage 
repaired. Let's chill and...look at that 
awesome gin I bought for old times sake! 

JESSA 

Oh yeah, no...I don't drink. I started 
detoxing in Bali and I just feel so good 
now!  

LEKU 

Cigarette? 

Jessa answers negatively through a skeptical smile. She grabs 
some edamama beans while Leku goes to the kitchen. 

JESSA 

Oh, that feels so nice! 

ZIYANDA 

What's that?
