I tried to write down every single movie available on my flights in March 2024. I handwrote some of my notes to pass the 13 hours which is why there are ??? when I couldn't read my own writing/abbreviations. Note that not all titles were available on all flights, and my list is missing a chunk of them (especially titles beginning with "S" for some reason). Hope someone finds it useful! Maybe someone will get to creating a Letterboxd list of them all before me! [Posted this in movies and thought delta users might find it useful too]

Young Punx: A Punk Parable
Zombieland

I am looking into getting a half-dumb phone, and I was thinking about acquiring a Blackberry. I've read there's a lot you can not do anymore with them.
Do you know if this model in particular can do calls & SMS? Internet connection in the EU? WhatsApp even?

I recently found an old blackberry curve 9330 and I was wondering what all I could do with it. I know I can’t do much due to BB shutting down, but is there anything at all that can be done with this thing? Any help is appreciated.

So ive just dug out my old 9900 (a product of recently watching the Blackberry movie and getting all sentimental) I have the Blackberry id popup happening, I think I hit the correct password but its not progressing. I know that the BBid server is no longer, does this mean I can not get into this phone any longer? I have Z10 Z30 9000 and curve that I can at least open with the bbid thing popping up. Any tips would be most welcome. Would love it to be a weekender for calls and txt but also would love to read old txt threads. TIA

I wan’t to smell like a natural garden - fresh, wet, green, herbal, earthy, aromatic (https://www.fiskars.com/-/media/fiskars/images/legacy/inspiration-tips/gardening/how-to-plant-a-shade-garden/page_main_image_how-to-plant-a-shade-garden.jpg):

• Herbs
• A bit of soil or related earthy smells
• Greenery, but not fresh cut grass, more as in some green leaf that is aromatic in itself, like black currant leaves, or something like that.
• Maybe some water, like dew drops or something
• Maybe some fresh berries or apples in the mix, but not as main characters - I don’t want this fragrance to be of ‘fruity’ accord, more of ‘green’, ‘earthy’, maybe ’aromatic’, maybe ‘fresh spicy’ accord
• Maybe some cucumbers even???

But not limited to only these ‘ingredients’ because I myself might not know what I’m looking for. I just know I probably don’t want it to be citrusy, because that’s immediately a whole different vibe for me. And maybe it shouldn’t have a strong floral accord, because it would also overpower my initial green garden wish (but maybe somewhere in the background would help with the photorealistic garden feel?)
I also want to share my 'library' of potential garden scents. Big part of them I haven’t even smelled yet so let me know if something from this list matches my criteria. Meaning - if something you would recommend is already in this list, I still want to hear your recommendation! Some are more straightforward green garden, some are less, some are a bit foresty gardens, but all of them are mostly green:

Hallo! Ich habe derzeit ein Setup von 2x 27 Monitoren. Ich spiele FPS (Hunt:Showdown), einige Multiplayer und viele Singleplayer wie NoMansSky, Dead Island 2 und RPGs alá Witcher3 usw. Der MainMonitor vor mir läuft auf 165hz und 1440p und der rechts als Side auf FullHD und 100hz. Jetzt möchte ich meinen Main vergrößern auf 32" Curved, wobei ich a) ein paar Fragen zum Monitor habe und b) zum Setup danach:
1) Welchen Curved Monitor 32" könnt Ihr empfehlen? Ich mag Geld sparen.
2) Die Auflösung muss nicht mehr als 2k sein.
3) Reicht mein Ryzen7 3700x 3.60GHz / 32GB Ram / RTX4070 danach noch aus Games auf dem Curved in 2k zu daddeln? Ich war nie der MegaHighEndGrafik-Fan, stabil und flüssig macht auch Spass.
4) Gibt es die Möglichkeit dann 3 Monitore anzuschliessen? Hochkant/Curved/FullHD
5) Etwas anderes Thema, gibt es ein Tool oder eine Einstellung das wenn ich den mittleren Monitor Fullscreen benutze, alle anderen dann automatisch schwarz schalten?
Ich danke fürs lesen und die Antworten.

I remember in my 20s... I saved up $25 for 15 months straight to afford my 1st smartphone(blackberry curve). I took pride in not going into debt.
I churned credit cards for the bonus money. Opened checking accounts solely for the $200 direct deposit bonus.
Agressively saved all my money. My mentality was that i had all the time in the world. Why rush?
My mindset back then was "why be an early adopter?? Prices always fall". "If I cant pay cash, then I can't afford it" , "wow,, the bar is a waste of money..i can save tons by drinking at home!!, im not a sucker"!
I felt so smart and ahead of all the sheep.
But now in my 30s...i feel like time is shorter these days. If I want something ,I get it right away. Ill sit at the bar and leave a big tip. Who cares if the latest smartphone will be 1/2 off a year or two after release ?
Soon..ill be in my 40s.... I can get A dehabilitating disease and all the money im my bank account wont even matter.
I surprised myself with this mindset shift. I never thought i would be the wasteful person that I am now.
Anyone else became less frugal in their 30s?
Note: im not in debt or anything. But i dont hoard cash like I used to neither.

I am asking this because my 9300's housing is damaged and needs a replacement and I can't find 9300's housing.
Please help me

''Welcome, my guest, to the palace of Jericho!''
The prince said, waving his hands around, as we made it past the massive doors. Inside, a view very few peasants ever saw in their lives. Of absurdly tall ceilings, of intricate pillars, of statues commemorating past monarchs and high-standing officials. I Dieudonné couldn't believe my eyes, and followed the prince, savoring every sight and every second.
''Tell me, where would you like to have tea? We can go to the royal terrace, the balcony, the inner gardens...'' The prince asked me, as we made our way up the stairs of the atrium. I scratched my head and wondered, what would be the smartest answer?
''Well you see, I've always wanted to see what a prince's chamber would look like... If that's not asking too much of you, my liege.''
The prince turned around, with an annoying look on his face. ''Listen, you don't have to be so formal. Let's just be friends and enjoy ourselves.''
I jumped on the opportunity and raced to him, slapping him on his back, telling him how glad I was. ''But I don't want to be your friend just because you're the prince, don't get me wrong. I just like clever people is all'' I told him, and I saw him smile, through his nose and eyebrow gold chain, scintillating in the light of the hundreds of candles and torches around us.
Alone in the private chamber of the prince, I sat on the pillow on the ground, next to a low wooden table. My new friend the prince poured water in a kettle and put it over the fire. I wondered, why in the world would he make his own tea?
''Tell me, why not ask a servant?'' I finally asked him.
''Well I wouldn't really be treating you for tea, then, would I?'' He replied, walking toward me with a wooden box.
I made sure not to show any greed on my face, yet I couldn't stop wondering if that box was a present for me, considering the sheer luck I had of meeting the prince by chance, and becoming his friend as well. The prince put the box down in front of me, and opened it, revealing dozens of compartments, each holding fine quality ingredients, such as colorful powders, seeds like anis and cardamom, cinnamon bark and so many others I had never seen before.
''Tell me, what's your favourite tea? Do you like sweet, or bitter, hot or cold? Spiced or not?''
I Dieudonné was outmatched for once. I admitted I had no knowledge in tea whatsoever. ''I only know the dry, black one, that you break appart..''
The prince had a surprised look on his face; ''You mean tea bricks? I didn't think you'd be one of those types...''
I asked him what he meant by that, and he explained that people's taste in tea reveals a lot about themselves, who they are truly. I thought it incredibly funny how he needed tea preferences to tell the nature of people, when all I needed was to look at their face. But I rather enjoyed his little trick, this prince wasn't as stupid as people are usually...
''If I could have any tea, I'd have orange tea. I just don't think it's appropriate to ask for that, since you've already been so generous to me.''
For once I was being honest with him. I wouldn't dream of telling him the whole story about my father and the orange, the incense, but it felt good for once to tell the truth. The prince smiled and closed the wooden box, its overwhelming aroma taken away. He rushed out and left me all alone, in his room. For once in my life, I heard it. Complete silence. If not for the occasional crackling of the fire.
I Dieudonné closed my eyes and relaxed. I couldn't wait to sip on orange tea! Insidiously Greed got a hold on me once more, and I got up on my feet, remembering my plan, my princely plan...
I stepped around the room, looking at everything. The comically large bed, the white silken bedsheets, the pillows filled with feathers. The bookshelves full of not only books and scrolls but also of trinkets like a globe of the earth, a telescope and most intriguing of all a tiny chest, half-opened. I could see, if I got close enough, coins perhaps?
I kept listening to any coming footsteps, so as not to be caught in the act, but the kettle started boiling and whistling. I had to get back to my seat but my body was moving on its own! Only one of these gold coins would give me the life of a prince, if only for a single day... And the door opened. I shifted my gaze to the telescope, pretending not to hear the prince coming in, to be fascinated by the instrument.
''Tell me, do you look at the stars sometimes?'' The prince asked me, in his hands, a bowl, filled with orange powder.
''I don't think I've spent a single night not looking at the stars'' I lied, looking at him smiling.
He placed the bowl on the table, brought over the kettle, as I took my seat once more, just before stealing a last look at the tiny chest in the bookshelf. From under the table he took out a tea making kit, with a few cups, a tray and two peculiar statuettes, representing a dragon and a sheep.
I sat there and looked at my new friend, the prince of Jericho, brew orange tea. He gave me a tiny hourglass, instructing me to flip it over once he pours the boiling water on the tea. Instantly the aroma filled the chamber, and I noticed we both started smiling. I brought my cup closer yet to my surprise he poured the tea over the statuettes, wasting the tea.
''Why waste it?'' I couldn't help asking. He laughed and explained how the first steep is merely to wash the tea, and is offered to the tea pets. I sat there, nodding, arms crossed. Ah yes. It seems the prince is a tea connoisseur! I couldn't help but think he just wanted to show off to me, his new friend.
The prince poured the water once more, I flipped the hourglass once more, and he offered me the first cup. I brought it to my nose and Heavens did it smell good. I dipped my lips into it but at that instant I thought about Daysha, how happy she would've been to be here right now, and what she was doing instead, for my sake..
The tea was surprisingly bitter, yet so aromatic! The prince laughed and laughed, and poured himself a cup. His laugh was surprisingly familiar, much akin to the ones of my neighboors back in my hometown. He gulped down his tea and got up, clapping his hands. I did the same and saw him run to the telescope. He brought it over to the window, and gestured me to come over. Stargazing now, are we?
He took a few minutes to set everything up, while I waited outside on the balcony. The view was already incredible, overlooking the inner palace and most of Jericho as well. From here I could see the plaza, but not beyond the tall walls. The prince finally said it's ready, and I got closer, curious as to what that tool could show me that I couldn't see with my eyes. Stars are stars after all.
But what I saw, in that strange little tube was not a star but an orange, stripy ball, with some bright dots around it... What in the world?
''That, my friend, is Al-Mushtari, as the arabs call it. We call it Jupiter, the greatest god of them all!''
To gaze at gods themselves! I fell on my butt, suddenly dizzy. The prince laughed and looked through the telescope as well, smiling ever more. At that moment I really wanted to leave, but also to make sure I'd see the prince again, for my plan hinged on that.
''My prince I must thank you for your hospitality. What pleasure to share tea and spy on the gods with his majesty-'' I started, but he turned toward me with a puzzled look on his face.
''Don't tell me, you're off already?''
I explained to him how I just got to Jericho today, and that I had to get back to my sister and uncle, and he stopped me once more;
''Well remember, then. I'll meet you tomorrow morning at the plaza. I truly wish to meet this family of yours, and offer my blessings. Take care now, my friend.''
And for the first time in my life, the man I was talking to had the face of a friend, and I didn't know what to think for a while. He walked me out in silence, and shook my hand, leaving in it a tiny bag. I smiled and walked out, escorted by the palace guards, inspecting in my hand yet another present from the prince; more of that orange tea powder.
Standing there in front of the metal gate of the palace, that closed behind me, I felt somewhat alone, if only for an instant. I am, after all, Dieudonné, a man that is truly free. Yet I couldn't help but look forward to meeting my new friend again, the prince. And gifting the orange tea to my foolish sister, as an apology. Yet beyond that, the dark clouds that were my princely plans loomed over all.
Making my way back to the fruit shop, I couldn't help but think back on Daysha and that tall man Lemarcus. As much of a fool as she is, my sister truly saved me there, and made it possible to meet the prince as well. This present may not be much, but I hope it'll show her how grateful I am of her help. Though she did owe me one...
The streets of Jericho were unusually quiet and empty. Some loners were here and there, smoking and drinking. Others were hurrying their steps, as if late to some important meeting. How miserable. At that moment I Dieudonné realized I was one of them! One more of these rats, scurrying about in the dead of night, hurrying toward the void that is their lives!
No matter what face I have truly, that of a prince or of a peasant, what matters are my actions. No more of this! I know what to do, to become prince at last, and fate itself landed me a hand! Yes, I will go forth with my plan, no matter what. For the life of a prince is the only life worthy for me.
I passed under a low banner and in this dark alleyway I thought back on Daquan, that guard I had poisonned so cleverly. I couldn't help smiling, and I didn't really like what that meant about me. Is killing a man that simple? Behind me, a fool, coughing and stumbling, his breathing raspy and annoying. I hurried my steps, as I was close to the fruit shop, but it seemed like the sick fool behind me hurried as well. I turned around briefly, and in the feeble moonlight I saw his bearded, scarred face, no longer that of a gambler, but that of a vengeful killer. We crossed eyes and he yelled ''Dieudonné you peasant!''
I didn't like that. I faced him, separated by a few dozen meters, surrounded by boxes and garbage bins and low hanging banners. We were completely alone here in the alleyway, and the only thing I could hear was his struggling breathing, and his coughing, as he was hurrying toward me, holding something in his hand, what, a knife?
I Dieudonné had enough of that man. No matter how grateful I was of the hand of fate, bringing me closer to my goal using that despicable man, I decided to finish what I had started.
''What, you want to kill me, good guard?'' I taunted him, looking at his curved dagger in his shaky hand. Daquan coughed once more and leaped toward me, screaming, murder in his eyes, but he was so slow from the rat poison. I punched his arm and his dagger fell on the ground loudly. ''What did you do to me?'' he shouted, his face so close to me I could smell his incoming death. I remember just how ugly and pityful he seemed to me. He had the face of an angry child, throwing a tantrum for having his favourite toy taken away.
''You deserve this, you failure of a man..'' I whispered, as I grabbed him by the neck. His bloodshot eyes then filled with fear, with dread, and at that moment I let go of him, frightened. What was I trying to do?
But Daquan reached for his dagger once more and I remembered my vow. To do whatever it takes. ''I can't die, for I become prince tomorrow.'' And so I kicked his face and his belly, I turned him on his back and pummeled his face, his gambler face, and ignored whatever he was trying to say to me, until his weak arms couldn't stay up anymore.
I didn't notice rain had started, and I got up from down there, my fists bloodied in red, my head aching. I looked down at the dagger and laughed, what a ridiculous tool. I pushed Daquan to the side of the alley, under a few boxes and a fallen banner, and I spat on him, as he extended his hand to me, begging for help. ''Die as the rat you are..''
I ran away from there, back to the fruit shop. I didn't know if I wanted to laugh at the top of my lungs or collapse and cry. All I wanted was to be alone. I made it to a crossway, and looking around I- well I was lost. Where the hell am I? What am I doing here?
Tall dark buildings. Banners whirling in the wind, wires flailing about, crows cawing, flying around high above me, under the feeble rain. I looked to one side, and the other, I couldn't tell the difference! Where is Daysha, where is the black lake, and my hometown? Why am I here, in this hellish city, alone, my hands stained with murder?
I noticed I was shaking, and couldn't breathe properly, and my mind was spiraling, how dizzy I felt. I sat down, there in a dark corner of an alley, and I placed boxes over me, and covered my feet with a fallen banner, and tried to sleep, just to escape. I tried to sleep just to see if all that really happened. I tried to sleep and realized once more, I was nothing different from Daquan! Here I was, same as him, except I'm to keep living in this shithole of a life I have been so proud of living.
I, Dieudonné, thought of suicide for the first time that night.
The crows woke me up once more, not their cawing but their beaks! I jumped awake and chased the black birds away. Did they think I had died? As if I would die such a meaningless death... My head was aching all the more, and I got up, trying to piece out where I was exactly. I was just a few buildings away from the flower shop actually. All around me, the bustling life of Jericho had started anew, in the early hours of the morning. The sun had just started to rise, and a soft breeze washed away my worries, if only for an instant.
I Dieudonné entered the fruit shop, nonchalantly, my hands in my pocket, for they were still bruised. But no one was there. I was expecting Daysha, ready to jump in my arms, and the tall Lemarcus to be standing in his doorframe in the back, reeking of tobacco. Only the parrot greeted me, with his usual ''Thief, thief, thief I say!''
But I had had enough of that, and as I made my way to the back of the shop I shooed the bird with my hands. Upon seeing my bloodied, bruised knuckles the parrot flew away screeching ''Murderer! Thief! Murderer!'' and I froze. Did I really kill that man? And not by poison, with my own two hands? I walked in the bathroom there, and I noticed a big tall mirror. I made sure not to see my reflection. I jumped in the shower and washed away the dreadful night, to be ready for the dreadful day I become prince at last.
All ready I walked to Lemarcus's door, and knocked quietly. ''Daysha?''
I heard some rustlings, a few steps, and my sister whispered as well from beyond the closed door. ''Go away Dieudonné. I don't want to see you ever again. What a brother you are.''
Her words hit me like a brick. I kneeled down and slid under the door the little bag of orange tea, the prince had given me. ''All I want to say is, I'm sorry.'' I told her. And I meant it.
I heard her pick it up, and scuffle back to the bed. I heard Lemarcus's voice, and Daysha's voice, such loving words, and I was taken aback. I thought she would hate him!
I stole some lotion in the bathroom for my knuckles, thank you Lemarcus. I made haste for the plaza, for the prince himself was waiting for me. On the way there, I could hear faint music, festivities, growing louder and louder. I hurried my steps, much like a child would do, and low and behold a full on festival was taking place, with dozens of musicians playing drums, flutes, lutes and others singing. Dragons and sheeps were dancing to the music, their big colorful bodies going up and down, moved by the many feets beneath them. Kids were running around, petals were falling from Jericho's sky and a new, bold banner was erected, its calligraphy impeccable : Tea Festival.
And there, standing alone at the entrance of the plaza, the prince. Approaching him I noticed his smile, and how relaxed he looked. I took the time to really look at him, at the gold chains on his face, at his crown, at his clothes so elegant. On his face I saw the face of a happy man, and I didn't like that.
He saw me at last and ran toward me, smiling, his eyes full of life. I noticed around him, the people, recognizing their prince, and smiling, and bowing, and I could see how respected he was. I thought, back then, about just how badly I needed that, just how badly I needed everyone to look up to me, to worship me. My vow strenghtened once more, and hugging my new friend smiling I could only think of murder, of deceit.
We entered the fruit shop, and it was still empty, the closed door of Lemarcus in the back there made me wonder if they were still in or out. No matter. All I needed was a few minutes. ''I'd like to treat you to tea, as well, as we wait for my family.'' I told the prince, and he sat down. How glad I was of the parrot not being there, that irritating creature. To my surprise the prince said ''I always wanted to taste that tea brick of yours!'' and I couldn't help laughing.
The kettle whistling, just like it did the day before at the palace, I poured into it the harsh bits of black tea. A far cry from the expensive ingredients of the prince. I told him to bring over a few blackberries, how nicely would they go with our black tea. In the meantime I poured myself a cup, and quickly threw in the rest of the rat poison I had bought the day before in the kettle. I exhaled and closed my eyes for a second. The prince came back and pretended to throw a berry in my mouth, laughing. And he did, a perfect throw! How oblivious can the prince be?
''So, my prince, what are you planning to do today?'' I asked him, pouring down his death sentence in his tiny cup.
The bitter, almost poor aroma of the leaves surrounded us, and as he lifted his cup he told me how he didn't have much planned today, and that they could perhaps spend time at the tea festival. I looked deeply in his eyes, waiting for him to drink his tea at last.
Right then the backdoor opened, and tobacco filled the air, to my annoyance. The prince put down his cup and got up, bowing to the tall man and the curly woman looking at us. Right there I cursed the heavens, and slammed my cup on the table.
''My sister Daysha, uncle Lemarcus, please meet my new friend, the prince of Jericho!'' I proclaimed, a bit too loudly.
I remember the look on lemarcus's face, his squinty eyes, pinning me down, I could tell he didn't like me. Once again Daysha proved to be a useful fool and grabbed his arm, dragging him toward us.
The prince sat back down, and offered them to share tea with us. I got up and took the kettle, saying how I'll just make a new batch, but the prince insisted. ''As you told me yesterday, why waste it?''
Of course I wanted the prince to drink it and die, so that I could take his place. And I didn't mind if that man lemarcus dies, for I despised him. But I didn't want Daysha my sister to die such a meaningless death!
''Very well, but Daysha, you won't like it. Why don't you bring us some refreshments instead?'' I proposed, trying to get her to look me in the eyes, and notice what was going on. But the fool was clutching at lemarcus's arm, smiling, and told me she'll just add my present to the tea, that she took out.
The orange tea I gifted her! And so the prince took it upon himself to pour two more cups to Daysha and Lemarcus. She added the bright orange powder to her cup, and also to everyone's cups, smiling.
Daysha asked a few questions to the prince, as they ate berries, holding their lethal cups, warming their hands. I Dieudonné sat there, and debated if I should just flip the table and maybe punch lemarcus, as a pretext to stop everyone from drinking the tea. After all, I'd get another chance sooner or later.
I looked down at my cup, and catched a glimpse of my reflection, amidst the scintillating of the orange powder, much akin to the prince's golden chains on his face, and at once the fountain of greed within me sprang anew. Damn it all!
She's a fool, he's a lustful man, and he's the prince I'm meant to be!
''Now, let's drink to our new friendship!''
And I burned my throat, gulping down the tea, not even tasting it. I slammed the cup on the table, and to my horror, to my bliss, they all did the same.
With how much rat poison I had put in the tea, the effects would start rather soon. My sister, with rosy cheeks, asked me ''Dieudonné, you told us your friend is the prince, yes, but you never told us his name?''
And at that I couldn't hold my laughters, it was too much for me.
''Yes, you never did ask for my name, even after you told me you didn't care about me being prince...''
We all grew silent. The prince added, smiling, ''Tell me, are we really friends?''
This is when they started dying.
Coughing, and retching, and all that. I dragged Daysha and Lemarcus to their room, making my best impression of someone worried for his friends, for his sister. She held my arm, and in her eyes, the same fear in saw in Daquan the day before. She whispered, in my ear, how she wanted to give me a present, as thanks for bringing her with me here to Jericho. She placed in my hand, orange incense. We both got teary eyes. I told her, once again, for the last time, ''I'm sorry.''
I closed the backdoor. Alone once again with the prince, I towered over him. He was asking for a glass of water, and to go fetch a guard, to bring him back to the palace.
I lied to him once again ''Now, my friend. I have an antidote, but first you have to tell me everything I need to know about you, about the prince of Jericho.''
He was shocked, and couldn't breathe for a few seconds. I fell to my knees and slapped him. I told him ''You see, my friend, I'll take your place as prince, and become the man I was always meant to be.''
At that the prince struggled to laugh, holding my arms; ''I was never the prince! I did just like you, Dieudonné my friend. I took the jewels and the clothes and the knowledge of the last prince, and I made myself prince.''
I got up, and stared him down. He added ''And the prince before that! All pretending, all greedy, all imposters!''
He struggled to get up, fell to his knees, and whispered to me, holding my legs ''I have only ever showed you kindness, generosity, friendship... And you would kill me, and take my place?''
I saw, at that moment, the prince had the face of despair. I pushed him down on the ground, and I couldn't help but cry as I removed his clothes, his crown, and painstakingly removed his golden chains, the true symbol of his majesty.
All the while the prince was laying there on the ground, staring at the ceiling. He tells me, his voice raspy and his breathing short; ''So you'll get my haircut, get some new piercings, wear my clothes and my jewels... So you'll be the new prince of Jericho... Will that satisfy you?''
I froze. I looked down to him. he added, pleading;
''Will you at least spare me, your friend? I'll tell you everything you need to know, the name of the servants, how you should act, secrets, all of it. Just give me the antidote, and give Daysha and Lemarcus the antidote. And go, I'll forget about you, Dieudonné, the man I thought was my friend.''
He told me everything, and I lied to him once more, about how the antidote will save his life. I made him drink some of my tea, and he smiled. I asked him his name, and he told me, crying.
But I forgot.
As I walked out, the parrot rushed in, yelling ''Murderer! Murderer! Thief!'' Once more.
The next day, I was walking down the main road, on my way to the palace of Jericho. On my face, the gold chains, on my head, the crown. And adorning me, clothes beffiting of a prince. And on everyone's faces, admiration, love, respect.
I held my head high, and smiled broadly, for at last I was a prince, with the face of a prince. What bliss.
I entered the palace, and made haste to my chamber, where a few days ago I drank tea and laughed with the previous prince. I jumped on the bed, took a nap. Never slept better in my whole life. I awoke and filled my pockets with gold coins, emeralds and ivory. I demanded a servant to make me some orange tea, but I didn't drink it, I wasted it.
I pushed open the bathroom door, avoiding the mirror once more. And there, the bathtub of a prince, with lotions and soaps and warm water on tap. I poured myself a bath, filled with all the luxury products I could find. I reached for my pocket and took out the orange incense Daysha had given me, before dying of my hand.
I placed it down on the counter, in front of the mirror, and lit it, its fragrance, taking me all the way back to my hometown, to little Daysha and my family.
I glimpsed at the mirror at last, looking at my perfect reflection. Never before had I seen my face so clearly, if not from the still surface of the cursed lake. In the flickering of the candles, I saw the face of a murderer. I saw the face of a thief. I saw the face of a spiteful man.
I couldn't take it anymore, I punched the mirror, reopening my wounds on my knuckles. The mirror cracked, and my reflection was mutliplied. I looked at my bloodshot eyes, at my golden chains, at my stupid haircut, and I grabbed the golden chains and screamed as I tore them with all my force. Blood gushing out, pieces of my nose, my ear and my eyebrow, at the tip of the golden chains. I threw away the crown and tore down my clothes, drops of red staining the royal floor, as I ran away toward the exit, toward the roads of Jericho.
Outside, I walked around, aimlessly, my mind, numb. I was just so tired of it all. So what if I was prince at last?
There, walking toward me, peeling away his orange, the tall man in the white hat, the blind man, the man with the wise face. He puts a hand on my shoulder, and says, as if to himself :
''Ah! There is the man with the cursed face. Welcome to Jericho!''

IN THE QUR'AN

THE CAVE

We are now firmly anchored in synchromysticism, and it is in this context that I notice other correspondences with the Qur'an.
I was still pondering the word "club" when a scene from an episode of The Simpsons piqued my curiosity. From there I discovered what I call a synchromystic correspondence between part of the Simpsons episode and the story of the companions of the cave described in Surah 18 of the Qur'an, The Cave.
From an entry point, if we use similarities as markers, the unfolding of the Simpsons scenes is almost in sync with the sequence of ayat in Surah 18 from the moment the young men entered the cave. I'll try to clarify this for you:

In the cave

Sources

➔ Qur'an 18:[17-18]; The young men entered the cave:

18:17 And [had you been present], you would see the sun when it rose, inclining away from their cave on the right, and when it set, passing away from them on the left, while they were [lying] within an open space thereof. That was from the signs of Allah. He whom Allah guides is the [rightly] guided, but he whom He leaves astray - never will you find for him a protecting guide.
18:18 And you would think them awake, while they were asleep. And We turned them to the right and to the left, while their dog stretched his forelegs at the entrance. If you had looked at them, you would have turned from them in flight and been filled by them with terror.

Qur'an 18:[17-18]	The Simpsons - sun
18:17 "And [had you been present], you would see the sun when it rose, inclining away from their cave on the right, and when it set, passing away from them on the left,"	Note that in the first scene of the video the thrown ball is shown merging with the sun. Then the next ball has a deviated trajectory from left to right: "Oh, a cunning stratagem, sir. It's curving right toward the green, and it's... there."
18:17 "while they were [lying] within an open space thereof."	A 👁️‍🗨️ wide open space (clearing) between group of trees.
18:18 "And you would think them awake, while they were asleep."	A character suddenly loses consciousness, causing another character to be confused.
18:18 "And We turned them to the right and to the left,"	A character turning on himself (starting from his left) with a club in his hand. (⇢ read [q-l-b] below the table ⬇️)
18:18 "while their dog stretched his forelegs at the entrance."	👁️‍🗨️ Two parallel golf clubs on the ground, in the foreground in front of the clearing. (⇢ read [k-l-b] below the table ⬇️)
18:18 "If you had looked at them, you would have turned from them in flight and been filled by them with terror."	A character flees in haste at the sight of another lying on the ground.

[q-l-b]: Note that Homer turns through 360° with a club in his hands and the club itself turns on its axis in the air. In Ayah 18:18 the word used to express the action of turning something is "wanuqallibuhum" from the root q-l-b; wa[and]-nu[we]-qallibu[turned]-hum[them].
There is a 🔊 resemblance in sound between the consonants of the word club in English, c-l-b, and the root q-l-b in Arabic (the sound produced by the letter Qaf in Arabic is a kind of [k] pronounced further back in the throat).
---
[k-l-b]: Same idea as [q-l-b] here. In Ayah 18:18 the word used for "while their dog" is wakalbuhum; wa[and]-kalbu[dog]-hum[their]. Kalb from the root k-l-b.
The consonants of the word club in English, c-l-b, and the root k-l-b in Arabic are 🔊 very much alike in sound.
And the dog stretches forth its two forelegs, "dhira'ayhi", which is a declension of the word dhira' (cubit, from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger). Their shape could well be represented by golf clubs.

They said, "Your Lord is most knowing of how long you remained. So send one of you with this silver coin of yours to the city and let him look to which is the best of food and bring you provision from it and let him be cautious. And let no one be aware of you.
18:20 Indeed, if they come to know of you, they will stone you or return you to their religion. And never would you succeed, then - ever."

18:21 And similarly, We caused them to be found that they [who found them] would know that the promise of Allah is truth and that of the Hour there is no doubt. [That was] when they disputed among themselves about their affair and [then] said, "Construct over them a structure. Their Lord is most knowing about them." Said those who prevailed in the matter, "We will surely take [for ourselves] over them a masjid."

▶ The Simpsons - party; The Simpsons go to the reception.

Qur'an 18:21	The Simpsons - party
18:21 "[...][That was] when they disputed among themselves about their affair"	Arguing characters
18:21 "and [then] said, "Construct over them a structure1️⃣. Their Lord is most knowing about them2️⃣.""	"I'm driving up to the main building. They've got valet3️⃣ parking tonight."
18:21 "Said those who prevailed in the matter, "We will surely take [for ourselves] over them a masjid4️⃣.""	The dominant character chooses that they should walk instead: "Stop the car. We're walking." Following that decision they find themselves in a situation 👁️‍🗨️ reminiscent of the faithful behind their imam in a masjid (a mosque).

^1️⃣In other translations "bun'yanan" is translated as "building".
^2️⃣"them" refers to the people of the cave. These people are described earlier in the surah as "young men of sound judgment" (fit'yatun). Fit'yatun is a declension of the word fatan. Fatan has another meaning, used later in the same surah, that of "servant/valet/slave" (lifatahu), remember that.
^3️⃣See 2️⃣ above, young man/valet/servant are definitions of the same word in surah 18.
^4️⃣I don't have a clear idea of what the sentence means. The term masjid means a station of prostration, it is used to refer to mosques for example because the faithful stop there to practice prayers composed of prostrations (sujud).

The Hour is close, in sound.

➔ Qur'an 18:21; The Hour is to be expected:

18:21 And similarly, We caused them to be found that they [who found them] would know that the promise of Allāh is truth and that of the Hour there is no doubt. [...]

▶ The Simpsons - party; Homer hurries to the building, expecting to be called sir:

For once, maybe someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene".

The word translated as "the-Hour" is as-sa'ah. In the ayah, the word is pronounced as-sa'a-ta, but when the word is isolated, the final '-ta' disappears to be replaced by a small breath that comes from the bottom of the throat.
The ' in as-sa'ah corresponds to the Arabic letter 'ayn. It is pronounced by the expulsion of the breath through the constriction of the middle part of the throat. It can sound like a guttural /.
The words sa'ah in Arabic and sir in English are 🔊 close in sound.

18:22 They [i.e., people] will say there were three, the fourth of them being their dog; and they will say there were five, the sixth of them being their dog - guessing at the unseen; and they will say there were seven, and the eighth of them was their dog. Say, [O Muḥammad], "My Lord is most knowing of their number. None knows them except a few. So do not argue about them except with an obvious argument and do not inquire about them among [the speculators] from anyone."

[+] In addition to the normal continuation of the thread of ayat we're going to look back at ayat counting the beginning of the youths' story. These are ayat that we haven't covered yet:
➔ Qur'an 18:[13-16]; Beginning of the story:

18:13 It is We who relate to you, [O Muhammad], their story in truth. Indeed, they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.
18:14 And We made firm their hearts when they stood up and said, "Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. Never will we invoke besides Him any deity. We would have certainly spoken, then, an excessive transgression.
18:15 These, our people, have taken besides Him deities. Why do they not bring for [worship of] them a clear authority? And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah a lie?"
18:16 [The youths said to one another], "And when you have withdrawn from them and that which they worship other than Allah, retreat to the cave. Your Lord will spread out for you of His mercy and will prepare for you from your affair facility."

Semantic comparisons

I based my comparisons on the vocabulary used in Ayah 18:22. Specifically, the three roots m-r-y, ẓ-h-r and f-t-y.

m-r-y

18:22 [...] So do not argue about them except with an obvious argument

The words used in Arabic translated as "to argue"/"argument" are tumari/mira'an from the root m-r-y. This root generates three main groups of ideas: [dispute/opposition/contestation], [hesitation/doubt], and [squeezing the maximum amount of milk out of a camel's udder]:

Qur'an 18:22 "So do not argue [tumari] about them"	The Simpsons - triangle
[dispute/opposition/contestation]	[opposition/contestation] "I'm going to regale everyone with my anecdote. You know, the one I tried to say on the radio? Who's going to bleep me this time?"
[squeezing the maximum amount of milk out of a camel's udder]	["milking" an old lady for her money] "I'm going to pose as an Italian count and get some old lady to leave me all her money."
[hesitation/doubt]	[hesitation/doubt] "I'm going to ask people if they know their servants' last names or, in the case of butlers, their first."

[+] A little clue led me to take a closer look at the ayat 18:[13-16] narrating the beginning of the story. I made an observation based on Marge's words, "No vulgarity. No mischief. No politics.":

Qur'an 18:[14-15]	The Simpsons - triangle "No vulgarity. No mischief. No politics."
18:14 "[...] And We made firm their hearts when they stood up and said, "Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. Never will we invoke besides Him any deity. We would have certainly spoken, then, an excessive transgression." (⇢ read [shatatan] below the table ⬇️)	[vulgarity] "I'm going to regale everyone with my anecdote. You know, the one I tried to say on the radio? Who's going to bleep me this time?"
18:15 "These, our people, have taken besides Him deities. Why do they not bring for [worship of] them a clear authority?" (⇢ read [qawmuna] below the table ⬇️)	[politics] "I'm going to ask people if they know their servants' last names or, in the case of butlers, their first."
18:15 "Why do they not bring for [worship of] them a clear authority? And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah a lie?"" (⇢ read [mis-chief] below the table ⬇️)	[mischief] "I'm going to pose as an Italian count and get some old lady to leave me all her money."

[shatatan] The young people's story and their conversations are said to be narrated "bil-haqqi" (in truth), i.e. as it happened. "shatatan", translated here as "an excessive transgression", is an informal word that is part of youth jargon, according to one explanation I heard. It's a very familiar way of saying "utter nonsense", "an ENORMOUS absurdity".
Perhaps a notch less vulgar than "(talk) sh!t" (or "bullsh#t") but 🔊 phonetically resembling it.
---
[qawmuna] "hâulâi" (These) is used to target a specific group of people. In this case "qawmuna" (our people). This is a statement about community affairs. Incidentally, "qawmuna" is 🔊 phonetically close to "common".
"bi-sultanin bayyinin" (with a clear authority) suggests a thinly veiled criticism of the political power. Indeed, the word sultanin can be translated as "compelling evidence" but also as "authority", "rule, dominion" or "sultan".
---
[mis-chief] I've repeated the sentence about authority here, because in this story, political authority conditions the religious situation of the people.
In my opinion, it's not just a statement about the people's misguidance, but a barely concealed accusation against their chief and their attachment to him. A pseudo "sultan" who is accused of inventing a baseless lie and thus being a source of wrongdoing and obscurantism.
[+] Another observation:

Qur'an 18:14	The Simpsons - triangle
18:14 "And We made firm their hearts*️⃣ when they stood up and said,"	Homer's group begins to walk, and as soon as Homer speaks, the "camera" shots show the growing cohesion of the group until they end up in a tight row. They speak collegially and the camera following their faces forms a triangle (the triangle is reputed to be the most stable form for a structure).

^*️⃣"rabatna 'ala qulubihim", literally "we tied over their hearts" meaning we've fortified their hearts to keep their composure. It also suggests that their hearts are tied to each other, forming a steady union.

ẓ-h-r

18:22 [...] except with an obvious argument

The word used in Arabic translated as "obvious" is ẓahiran, which means "manifest (whereas previously latent)". This word comes from the root ẓ-h-r which generates seemingly distant meanings from each other. It gives the nouns back (of the body) and midday (when the sun is high) and also the verb to manifest.
A study in French tries to dissect the origin of the polysemy of this root: Une étude de la racine ظهر √ẓhr (A study of the root ظهر √ẓhr) by Jean-Claude Rolland with the collaboration of Jean-Marc Guyetand. The official link is dead at the time I publish this post, fortunately I had made a backup.
I skip the technical explanations and (do my best to) translate the conclusion into English:

Conclusion
There is only one root ظهر √ẓhr, which results from the crossing of the etymons {ẓ,r} and {h,r}.
– By the etymon {ẓ,r}, this root comes under the matrix of the throat and neck. Its semanticism is mainly oriented towards the back perceived as the extension of the back part of the neck, the nape of the neck. The etymon {h,r} only comes in reinforcement in the items relating to the notions of brilliance, midday, appearing, etc.
– But as there is only one word ظَهْر ẓahr to designate both the back of bipeds and that of quadrupeds, the root ظهر √ẓhr comes, by enantiosemy, to express both what is in the back of some, therefore behind them, hidden, invisible, and what is on the backs of others, therefore above, salient, shining, uncovered, visible.
(July 2020)

Qur'an 18:22	The Simpsons - highlight
18:22 "[...] except with an obvious [ẓahiran] argument"	"You kids should thank your mother. Now that she's a better person we can see how awful we really are." (⇢ read [ẓahiran] below the table ⬇️)

[ẓahiran] It seems to me that all of these notions carried by the root ẓ-h-r have been assimilated in the form of a cartoon scene:

• Verticality: Homer's statement carries in itself the notions of the root ẓ-h-r. Something that has reached a (supposedly) high point ("Now that she's a better person") leads to the manifestation ("we can see") of something not observed ("how awful we really are.").
  
• Horizontality: Marge turns her back to Homer and the children, and the moment Homer's words hit her is emphasized by a play of light and shadow. Something emerged, the light grows on the front side until it stops at the boundary between front and back. And vice versa, when she finally turns back to Homer and the children. Plus, the dress clearly highlights the throat and neck.
  

f-t-y

18:22 [...] and do not inquire about them among [the speculators] from anyone.

The word used in Arabic translated as "to inquire" is tastafti. It is a verb formed from the root f-t-y which is declined in different meanings. From this root comes the word fatan which is used in this same surah (n°18) under its two definitions, "young men of sound judgment" (fit'yatun) and "servant/valet/slave" (lifatahu).

Qur'an 18:22	The Simpsons - triangle
18:22 "[...] and do not inquire1️⃣ about them2️⃣ among [the speculators] from anyone."	"I'm going to ask people if they know their servants3️⃣' last names or, in the case of butlers, their first." | "No! No! No! Not tonight!"

^1️⃣The word in arabic is "tastafti" from the root f-t-y.
^2️⃣"them" refers to "fityatun" (from f-t-y; young men).
^3️⃣see explanation above the table.

Tomorrow

Sources

➔ Qur'an 18:[23-24]; Tomorrow:

18:23 And never say of anything, "Indeed, I will do that tomorrow,"
18:24 Except [when adding], "If Allah wills." And remember your Lord when you forget [it] and say, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to what is nearer than this to right conduct."

▶ The Simpsons - sir; Back to the "sir" scene.

Re-verse engineering

Homer Simpson:

For once, maybe someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene".

I think I can reconstruct some semblance of Homer's line by drawing on the two ayat above:

The Simpsons - sir	Qur'an 18:[23-24]
maybe someone will	18:24 Perhaps my Lord will
call me	18:23 "wala taqulanna" (And never say). "qul" means "say". An emphatic suffix is added to give the form "-qulanna"; that is phonetically close to qul-'ana' (ana = me, I) ~~> qul 'me' ~~> call me.
sir	? (⇢ read [?] below the table ⬇️)
without adding	18:24 Except [when adding]
"you're making	18:23 "Indeed, I will do
a scene"	18:23 that. "that" refers to "of anything" or more precisely to lishay'in; li[of]-shay'in[a thing]. I find that the /sh/ and /s/ sounds are often interchangeable in this kind of comparison. Which leads me to say that the English word scene and the Arabic word shay'in are 🔊 consonant.

[?] In the first part of the topic I mentioned a trivial correlation that, surprisingly, makes sense here. I wrote in ALL IN ONE > COLUMBO > "sir" scenes:

▶ The Simpsons - sir; Homer says: "For once, maybe someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene"."
▶ Columbo - sir; The character hears himself called "sir" and arguably, he's making a scene...

In the Columbo video, the character reacts to being called "sir" by reciting a line of dialogue from a scene in Macbeth: Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, Macbeth - Act5, scene 5.
It was long before I could see any point in it, that serendipity led me to link "sir" and "tomorrow". That may be the missing link (the "?") of the table above.

Synchronicity

"sir" scene

I was in the process of typing up the content of this section when I watched, for the first time in my life, the film A Few Good Men (1992) with Tom Cruise. And there, synchronicity seems to reinforce the idea of correlation between "sir" and "tomorrow":
▶ A Few Good Men - sir; Particular reaction to being called "sir":

- Is this your signature?
- Yes, sir.
- You don't have to call me "sir". Is this your signature?
- Sir, yes, sir.
- You certainly don't need to do it twice in one sentence.
[...]
- What's a garden variety Code Red?
- Sir?
- Harold, you say "sir", I turn around and look for my father.

tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow...

Immediately following the "sir" scene of the interview with the two Marines, I noticed a sequence of short scenes all formed on the same principle: the character played by Tom Cruise talks with another character, and the scene ends with a "see you tomorrow" type of mention. A cinematographic method to create teasing or a certain tension probably, but less trivially it's the synchronicity with the writing of my topic that I'm highlighting here:
▶ A Few Good Men - tomorrows; Tomorrows in a row.

The right conduct

Something I noted:

Qur'an 18:24	The Simpsons - sir	A Few Good Men - sir
18:24 Except [when adding], "If Allah wills." And remember your Lord when you forget [it] and say, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to what is nearer than this to right conduct."	Homer says: "For once, maybe someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene"." In other words, that his conduct would be in accordance with etiquette.	"What's a Code Red?" | "Sir, a Code Red is a disciplinary engagement." | "What's that mean exactly?" | "Sir, a Marine falls out of line, it's up to the men in his unit to get him back on track."

Getting the count right

Qur'an 18:25	The Simpsons - thirty-three hundred
18:25 And they remained in their cave for three hundred years [...]	"We'll have a thirty-three hundred dollars credit at Chanel."
18:25 [...] and exceeded by nine	"We'll have a thirty*️⃣-three hundred dollars credit at Chanel."

^*️⃣"nine" in Ayah 18:25 is "tis'a" (with a 'ayn). Sounds like tisra with an 'r' from the middle part of the throat.
Placing the last syllable of the word "thirty" at the beginning gives "ty-thir". The pronunciation of the 'th' in thirty is close to the /s/ sound. So it sounds like tee-thir, quite close to 🔊 tis'a.

[Green and Silk]

[...] and will wear green garments of fine silk and brocade

The whole surah revolves around the idea of comparison between two parties, I see here the entanglement of the notions of life in the "gardens of perpetual residence" and life in this world. I explain, green garments enters the lexical field of gardens while silk is part of the aspirations of this world.
Another thing about silk. I heard an explanation about the locution "sundusin wa-is'tabraqin" (fine silk and brocade). This would refer to fine silk garments with added thickness of fabric (is'tabraqin). The addition of "is'tabraqin" to the locution is understood to express the most expensive silk garments.
Back to The Simpsons:

1. ▶ The Simpsons - city; The main character of the episode is looking for high quality clothing: "Miss? Do you have a Chanel suit or any other high-quality clothes?"

Marge	Busboy
"But, you know, we realized we're more comfortable in a place like this."	"Man, you're crazy. This place is a dump. Oh man, I'd be anywhere except this place, that's for sure."

The Good Place

It's likely that some of you have already made the connection with The Good Place show. As for me, I only know it by name, but I understand that the main plot coincides with this subject. I refer to it here because, in addition to that, the 👁️‍🗨️ official imagery features characters sitting on a sofa.

IN THE QUR'AN

THE CAVE

We are now firmly anchored in synchromysticism, and it is in this context that I notice other correspondences with the Qur'an.
I was still pondering the word "club" when a scene from an episode of The Simpsons piqued my curiosity. From there I discovered what I call a synchromystic correspondence between part of the Simpsons episode and the story of the companions of the cave described in Surah 18 of the Qur'an, The Cave.
From an entry point, if we use similarities as markers, the unfolding of the Simpsons scenes is almost in sync with the sequence of ayat in Surah 18 from the moment the young men entered the cave. I'll try to clarify this for you:

In the cave

Sources

➔ Qur'an 18:[17-18]; The young men entered the cave:

18:17 And [had you been present], you would see the sun when it rose, inclining away from their cave on the right, and when it set, passing away from them on the left, while they were [lying] within an open space thereof. That was from the signs of Allah. He whom Allah guides is the [rightly] guided, but he whom He leaves astray - never will you find for him a protecting guide.
18:18 And you would think them awake, while they were asleep. And We turned them to the right and to the left, while their dog stretched his forelegs at the entrance. If you had looked at them, you would have turned from them in flight and been filled by them with terror.

Qur'an 18:[17-18]	The Simpsons - sun
18:17 "And [had you been present], you would see the sun when it rose, inclining away from their cave on the right, and when it set, passing away from them on the left,"	Note that in the first scene of the video the thrown ball is shown merging with the sun. Then the next ball has a deviated trajectory from left to right: "Oh, a cunning stratagem, sir. It's curving right toward the green, and it's... there."
18:17 "while they were [lying] within an open space thereof."	A 👁️‍🗨️ wide open space (clearing) between group of trees.
18:18 "And you would think them awake, while they were asleep."	A character suddenly loses consciousness, causing another character to be confused.
18:18 "And We turned them to the right and to the left,"	A character turning on himself (starting from his left) with a club in his hand. (⇢ read [q-l-b] below the table ⬇️)
18:18 "while their dog stretched his forelegs at the entrance."	👁️‍🗨️ Two parallel golf clubs on the ground, in the foreground in front of the clearing. (⇢ read [k-l-b] below the table ⬇️)
18:18 "If you had looked at them, you would have turned from them in flight and been filled by them with terror."	A character flees in haste at the sight of another lying on the ground.

[q-l-b]: Note that Homer turns through 360° with a club in his hands and the club itself turns on its axis in the air. In Ayah 18:18 the word used to express the action of turning something is "wanuqallibuhum" from the root q-l-b; wa[and]-nu[we]-qallibu[turned]-hum[them].
There is a 🔊 resemblance in sound between the consonants of the word club in English, c-l-b, and the root q-l-b in Arabic (the sound produced by the letter Qaf in Arabic is a kind of [k] pronounced further back in the throat).
---
[k-l-b]: Same idea as [q-l-b] here. In Ayah 18:18 the word used for "while their dog" is wakalbuhum; wa[and]-kalbu[dog]-hum[their]. Kalb from the root k-l-b.
The consonants of the word club in English, c-l-b, and the root k-l-b in Arabic are 🔊 very much alike in sound.
And the dog stretches forth its two forelegs, "dhira'ayhi", which is a declension of the word dhira' (cubit, from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger). Their shape could well be represented by golf clubs.

^3️⃣See 2️⃣ above, young man/valet/servant are definitions of the same word in surah 18.
^4️⃣I don't have a clear idea of what the sentence means. The term masjid means a station of prostration, it is used to refer to mosques for example because the faithful stop there to practice prayers composed of prostrations (sujud).

The Hour is close, in sound.

➔ Qur'an 18:21; The Hour is to be expected:

18:21 And similarly, We caused them to be found that they [who found them] would know that the promise of Allāh is truth and that of the Hour there is no doubt. [...]

▶ The Simpsons - party; Homer hurries to the building, expecting to be called sir:

For once, maybe someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene".

The word translated as "the-Hour" is as-sa'ah. In the ayah, the word is pronounced as-sa'a-ta, but when the word is isolated, the final '-ta' disappears to be replaced by a small breath that comes from the bottom of the throat.
The ' in as-sa'ah corresponds to the Arabic letter 'ayn. It is pronounced by the expulsion of the breath through the constriction of the middle part of the throat. It can sound like a guttural /.
The words sa'ah in Arabic and sir in English are 🔊 close in sound.

18:22 They [i.e., people] will say there were three, the fourth of them being their dog; and they will say there were five, the sixth of them being their dog - guessing at the unseen; and they will say there were seven, and the eighth of them was their dog. Say, [O Muḥammad], "My Lord is most knowing of their number. None knows them except a few. So do not argue about them except with an obvious argument and do not inquire about them among [the speculators] from anyone."

[+] In addition to the normal continuation of the thread of ayat we're going to look back at ayat counting the beginning of the youths' story. These are ayat that we haven't covered yet:
➔ Qur'an 18:[13-16]; Beginning of the story:

18:13 It is We who relate to you, [O Muhammad], their story in truth. Indeed, they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.
18:14 And We made firm their hearts when they stood up and said, "Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. Never will we invoke besides Him any deity. We would have certainly spoken, then, an excessive transgression.
18:15 These, our people, have taken besides Him deities. Why do they not bring for [worship of] them a clear authority? And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah a lie?"
18:16 [The youths said to one another], "And when you have withdrawn from them and that which they worship other than Allah, retreat to the cave. Your Lord will spread out for you of His mercy and will prepare for you from your affair facility."

Semantic comparisons

I based my comparisons on the vocabulary used in Ayah 18:22. Specifically, the three roots m-r-y, ẓ-h-r and f-t-y.

m-r-y

18:22 [...] So do not argue about them except with an obvious argument

The words used in Arabic translated as "to argue"/"argument" are tumari/mira'an from the root m-r-y. This root generates three main groups of ideas: [dispute/opposition/contestation], [hesitation/doubt], and [squeezing the maximum amount of milk out of a camel's udder]:

Qur'an 18:22 "So do not argue [tumari] about them"	The Simpsons - triangle
[dispute/opposition/contestation]	[opposition/contestation] "I'm going to regale everyone with my anecdote. You know, the one I tried to say on the radio? Who's going to bleep me this time?"
[squeezing the maximum amount of milk out of a camel's udder]	["milking" an old lady for her money] "I'm going to pose as an Italian count and get some old lady to leave me all her money."
[hesitation/doubt]	[hesitation/doubt] "I'm going to ask people if they know their servants' last names or, in the case of butlers, their first."

[+] A little clue led me to take a closer look at the ayat 18:[13-16] narrating the beginning of the story. I made an observation based on Marge's words, "No vulgarity. No mischief. No politics.":

Qur'an 18:[14-15]	The Simpsons - triangle "No vulgarity. No mischief. No politics."
18:14 "[...] And We made firm their hearts when they stood up and said, "Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. Never will we invoke besides Him any deity. We would have certainly spoken, then, an excessive transgression." (⇢ read [shatatan] below the table ⬇️)	[vulgarity] "I'm going to regale everyone with my anecdote. You know, the one I tried to say on the radio? Who's going to bleep me this time?"
18:15 "These, our people, have taken besides Him deities. Why do they not bring for [worship of] them a clear authority?" (⇢ read [qawmuna] below the table ⬇️)	[politics] "I'm going to ask people if they know their servants' last names or, in the case of butlers, their first."
18:15 "Why do they not bring for [worship of] them a clear authority? And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah a lie?"" (⇢ read [mis-chief] below the table ⬇️)	[mischief] "I'm going to pose as an Italian count and get some old lady to leave me all her money."

[shatatan] The young people's story and their conversations are said to be narrated "bil-haqqi" (in truth), i.e. as it happened. "shatatan", translated here as "an excessive transgression", is an informal word that is part of youth jargon, according to one explanation I heard. It's a very familiar way of saying "utter nonsense", "an ENORMOUS absurdity".
Perhaps a notch less vulgar than "(talk) sh!t" (or "bullsh#t") but 🔊 phonetically resembling it.
---
[qawmuna] "hâulâi" (These) is used to target a specific group of people. In this case "qawmuna" (our people). This is a statement about community affairs. Incidentally, "qawmuna" is 🔊 phonetically close to "common".
"bi-sultanin bayyinin" (with a clear authority) suggests a thinly veiled criticism of the political power. Indeed, the word sultanin can be translated as "compelling evidence" but also as "authority", "rule, dominion" or "sultan".
---
[mis-chief] I've repeated the sentence about authority here, because in this story, political authority conditions the religious situation of the people.
In my opinion, it's not just a statement about the people's misguidance, but a barely concealed accusation against their chief and their attachment to him. A pseudo "sultan" who is accused of inventing a baseless lie and thus being a source of wrongdoing and obscurantism.
[+] Another observation:

Qur'an 18:14	The Simpsons - triangle
18:14 "And We made firm their hearts*️⃣ when they stood up and said,"	Homer's group begins to walk, and as soon as Homer speaks, the "camera" shots show the growing cohesion of the group until they end up in a tight row. They speak collegially and the camera following their faces forms a triangle (the triangle is reputed to be the most stable form for a structure).

^*️⃣"rabatna 'ala qulubihim", literally "we tied over their hearts" meaning we've fortified their hearts to keep their composure. It also suggests that their hearts are tied to each other, forming a steady union.

ẓ-h-r

18:22 [...] except with an obvious argument

The word used in Arabic translated as "obvious" is ẓahiran, which means "manifest (whereas previously latent)". This word comes from the root ẓ-h-r which generates seemingly distant meanings from each other. It gives the nouns back (of the body) and midday (when the sun is high) and also the verb to manifest.
A study in French tries to dissect the origin of the polysemy of this root: Une étude de la racine ظهر √ẓhr (A study of the root ظهر √ẓhr) by Jean-Claude Rolland with the collaboration of Jean-Marc Guyetand. The official link is dead at the time I publish this post, fortunately I had made a backup.
I skip the technical explanations and (do my best to) translate the conclusion into English:

Conclusion
There is only one root ظهر √ẓhr, which results from the crossing of the etymons {ẓ,r} and {h,r}.
– By the etymon {ẓ,r}, this root comes under the matrix of the throat and neck. Its semanticism is mainly oriented towards the back perceived as the extension of the back part of the neck, the nape of the neck. The etymon {h,r} only comes in reinforcement in the items relating to the notions of brilliance, midday, appearing, etc.
– But as there is only one word ظَهْر ẓahr to designate both the back of bipeds and that of quadrupeds, the root ظهر √ẓhr comes, by enantiosemy, to express both what is in the back of some, therefore behind them, hidden, invisible, and what is on the backs of others, therefore above, salient, shining, uncovered, visible.
(July 2020)

Qur'an 18:22	The Simpsons - highlight
18:22 "[...] except with an obvious [ẓahiran] argument"	"You kids should thank your mother. Now that she's a better person we can see how awful we really are." (⇢ read [ẓahiran] below the table ⬇️)

[ẓahiran] It seems to me that all of these notions carried by the root ẓ-h-r have been assimilated in the form of a cartoon scene:

• Verticality: Homer's statement carries in itself the notions of the root ẓ-h-r. Something that has reached a (supposedly) high point ("Now that she's a better person") leads to the manifestation ("we can see") of something not observed ("how awful we really are.").
  
• Horizontality: Marge turns her back to Homer and the children, and the moment Homer's words hit her is emphasized by a play of light and shadow. Something emerged, the light grows on the front side until it stops at the boundary between front and back. And vice versa, when she finally turns back to Homer and the children. Plus, the dress clearly highlights the throat and neck.
  

f-t-y

18:22 [...] and do not inquire about them among [the speculators] from anyone.

The word used in Arabic translated as "to inquire" is tastafti. It is a verb formed from the root f-t-y which is declined in different meanings. From this root comes the word fatan which is used in this same surah (n°18) under its two definitions, "young men of sound judgment" (fit'yatun) and "servant/valet/slave" (lifatahu).

Qur'an 18:22	The Simpsons - triangle
18:22 "[...] and do not inquire1️⃣ about them2️⃣ among [the speculators] from anyone."	"I'm going to ask people if they know their servants3️⃣' last names or, in the case of butlers, their first." | "No! No! No! Not tonight!"

^1️⃣The word in arabic is "tastafti" from the root f-t-y.
^2️⃣"them" refers to "fityatun" (from f-t-y; young men).
^3️⃣see explanation above the table.

Tomorrow

Sources

➔ Qur'an 18:[23-24]; Tomorrow:

18:23 And never say of anything, "Indeed, I will do that tomorrow,"
18:24 Except [when adding], "If Allah wills." And remember your Lord when you forget [it] and say, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to what is nearer than this to right conduct."

▶ The Simpsons - sir; Back to the "sir" scene.

Re-verse engineering

Homer Simpson:

For once, maybe someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene".

I think I can reconstruct some semblance of Homer's line by drawing on the two ayat above:

The Simpsons - sir	Qur'an 18:[23-24]
maybe someone will	18:24 Perhaps my Lord will
call me	18:23 "wala taqulanna" (And never say). "qul" means "say". An emphatic suffix is added to give the form "-qulanna"; that is phonetically close to qul-'ana' (ana = me, I) ~~> qul 'me' ~~> call me.
sir	? (⇢ read [?] below the table ⬇️)
without adding	18:24 Except [when adding]
"you're making	18:23 "Indeed, I will do
a scene"	18:23 that. "that" refers to "of anything" or more precisely to lishay'in; li[of]-shay'in[a thing]. I find that the /sh/ and /s/ sounds are often interchangeable in this kind of comparison. Which leads me to say that the English word scene and the Arabic word shay'in are 🔊 consonant.

[?] In the first part of the topic I mentioned a trivial correlation that, surprisingly, makes sense here. I wrote in ALL IN ONE > COLUMBO > "sir" scenes:

▶ The Simpsons - sir; Homer says: "For once, maybe someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene"."
▶ Columbo - sir; The character hears himself called "sir" and arguably, he's making a scene...

In the Columbo video, the character reacts to being called "sir" by reciting a line of dialogue from a scene in Macbeth: Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, Macbeth - Act5, scene 5.
It was long before I could see any point in it, that serendipity led me to link "sir" and "tomorrow". That may be the missing link (the "?") of the table above.

Synchronicity

"sir" scene

I was in the process of typing up the content of this section when I watched, for the first time in my life, the film A Few Good Men (1992) with Tom Cruise. And there, synchronicity seems to reinforce the idea of correlation between "sir" and "tomorrow":
▶ A Few Good Men - sir; Particular reaction to being called "sir":

- Is this your signature?
- Yes, sir.
- You don't have to call me "sir". Is this your signature?
- Sir, yes, sir.
- You certainly don't need to do it twice in one sentence.
[...]
- What's a garden variety Code Red?
- Sir?
- Harold, you say "sir", I turn around and look for my father.

tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow...

Immediately following the "sir" scene of the interview with the two Marines, I noticed a sequence of short scenes all formed on the same principle: the character played by Tom Cruise talks with another character, and the scene ends with a "see you tomorrow" type of mention. A cinematographic method to create teasing or a certain tension probably, but less trivially it's the synchronicity with the writing of my topic that I'm highlighting here:
▶ A Few Good Men - tomorrows; Tomorrows in a row.

The right conduct

Something I noted:

Qur'an 18:24	The Simpsons - sir	A Few Good Men - sir
18:24 Except [when adding], "If Allah wills." And remember your Lord when you forget [it] and say, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to what is nearer than this to right conduct."	Homer says: "For once, maybe someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene"." In other words, that his conduct would be in accordance with etiquette.	"What's a Code Red?" | "Sir, a Code Red is a disciplinary engagement." | "What's that mean exactly?" | "Sir, a Marine falls out of line, it's up to the men in his unit to get him back on track."

And they remained in their cave for three hundred years and exceeded by nine.

Getting the count right

Qur'an 18:25	The Simpsons - thirty-three hundred
18:25 And they remained in their cave for three hundred years [...]	"We'll have a thirty-three hundred dollars credit at Chanel."
18:25 [...] and exceeded by nine	"We'll have a thirty*️⃣-three hundred dollars credit at Chanel."

^*️⃣"nine" in Ayah 18:25 is "tis'a" (with a 'ayn). Sounds like tisra with an 'r' from the middle part of the throat.
Placing the last syllable of the word "thirty" at the beginning gives "ty-thir". The pronunciation of the 'th' in thirty is close to the /s/ sound. So it sounds like tee-thir, quite close to 🔊 tis'a.

[Green and Silk]

[...] and will wear green garments of fine silk and brocade

The whole surah revolves around the idea of comparison between two parties, I see here the entanglement of the notions of life in the "gardens of perpetual residence" and life in this world. I explain, green garments enters the lexical field of gardens while silk is part of the aspirations of this world.
Another thing about silk. I heard an explanation about the locution "sundusin wa-is'tabraqin" (fine silk and brocade). This would refer to fine silk garments with added thickness of fabric (is'tabraqin). The addition of "is'tabraqin" to the locution is understood to express the most expensive silk garments.
Back to The Simpsons:

"But, you know, we realized we're more comfortable in a place like this."	"Man, you're crazy. This place is a dump. Oh man, I'd be anywhere except this place, that's for sure."

The Good Place

It's likely that some of you have already made the connection with The Good Place show. As for me, I only know it by name, but I understand that the main plot coincides with this subject. I refer to it here because, in addition to that, the 👁️‍🗨️ official imagery features characters sitting on a sofa.
