You can also hear Freya speaking French in her first Casting(s)  (she is in at least three other episodes ) : http://www.canalplus.fr/c-divertissement/pid6349-c-castings.html?vid=946871

Translation (I'm French and I speak a little of Arabic) :

Richard : You need to speak Arabic since the movie is based in the suburbs of Ouarzazate. The movie is produced by Scorsese and will be shown in the USA.So it’s a huge movie . You speak Arabic ?

Actor : Yes, I’m fluent.

The desert’s pearls

Freya : This was the moment an old man advised me to take a bus to Casablanca

Ali Marhyar (he played the prisoner in Zero Dark Thirty) : It’s not possible

Freya : Yes I swear he told me to take the bus to Casablanca and then …

Ali : You were saying to Casablanca …

Freya : Yes ! To Casablanca !

François : Sorry what ?

Richard : Which dialect do you speak ?

François  : Almost all of them .

Richard : Great ! Come in ! Let’s do the questioning scene ! Action !

Freya : They asked me why I was there …

Ali : Sorry the doe (/gazelle), I’m stopping the scene because I was thinking and there’s no direct bus to Casablanca. I’m from Morroco so I know . You need to stop at Birji ,take the little train to Derb Sultani and then the boat to Casablanca.

Actors : Come on !

Richard : Answer them something in Arabic !

François “trying” to speak Arabic.

Freya : For those fresh dates , I’m going to rest now

Ali : There’s no  fresh dates near Debarhashi (?) in February .

Richard: Stop it ! Stop it !

François  “trying” to speak Arabic .

Richard  : I think they don’t understand.

Old actor : Nothing !

François : I’m not surprised since it’s a dialect used in the south of the country.

Old actor : He’s not an Arab.

Richard : I don’t care if you have doubts ! You’re a comedian and we’re paying you to believe what you’re telling us ! So stop !

Ali : Yes ! Allo ? Yes ,auntie Hnina,it’s Ali ! Congratulations on the 305 (an old French car). I saw the picture , it’s awesome ! By the way,I’m at work and we were wondering a few things

Actors : Come on , speak !

François  : Inch allah ? (God willing (hopefully))

Ali : Do you have a pen ?

Richard : Stop ! Enough with your 305, Abdelzak ,Abdelsantali (fake Arabic names) ! I don’t care ! Fuck off ! You’re not doing the casting anymore !

Ali : Wait Richard , I’m sorry ! I’m not a Morroccan , I’ve never been there ! I was pretending just to have the part ! Let’s do the scene with Freya again ! Freya ,come back !

Richard : François , I just had the producers on the phone and you’re going to Morrocco for 6 months ! You got the part , that’s  awesome !
François : I don’t speak Arabic ! I was lying ! I don’t speak the language !

I also read that Nina Gold (casting director of GOT and the next Star Wars movie) did the casting for Sunshine on Leith so it would be nice if Freya and/or Antonia got a part or even auditionned for GOT or Star Wars.

character: mini mcguinness, actor: freya mavor
