 Dramatic Shattering: Scene 3 starts with an angry Amir throwing his glass down on the balcony and shattering it. His career has gone south after he spoke out in defense of Imam Fareed.

 As You Know: When Abe comes calling in the opening scene, Emily does the audience a favor by referring to him as "your nephew."

 The Loins Sleep Tonight: Emily and Amir haven't had sex in the three months since Amir spoke out for the imam and was subsequently embarrassed by his name getting in the paper.

 Meaningful Rename: Part of the denial of identity. Amir is not happy that his nephew changed his name from "Hussein Malik" to Abe Jensen. Abe points out that Amir is a hypocrite who changed his last name from "Abdullah" to the more Indian-sounding Kapoor. At the end Abe, angry at America and getting back to his Muslim roots, says he's changed his name back.
