The Bodyguard [Dembe Zuma | Hisham Tawfiq] #3: "Maybe you should stop thinking about it and do it."

Dembe Zuma | Hisham Tawfiq
3rd A P P R E C I A T I O N T H R E A D



X

Dembe Zuma is former freedom fighter from South Sudan. He was born the youngest son of Samwel Zuma.
When Dembe's father reported a number of low-ranking operatives of a poaching organization to the authorities,
the cartel killed Dembe's father, mother and siblings and sold him to human traffickers.
He spent eight years in the world of human trafficking and was enslaved until the age of 14,
when Reddington found him half-dead and chained to a pipe in the basement of a brothel in Nairobi.
Reddington took care of him, nursed him back to health and made sure he got an education.
Dembe eventually got a Bachelor's degree in English Literature,
learned to speak four languages fluently and learned six others well enough to get by.

Quote of the moment

"About Tom. You should have told her some time ago.
Yes you do. You tell her the truth by telling her everything.
Maybe you should stop thinking about it and do it."
Episode 2x15
.....




credit to Miranda

The reasons

Because even though he barely speaks we love him so much.
Because he will be a series regular in s3!
Because he conveys so much emotion without speaking a word.
Because he knows when to tell Red how it is.
Because he likes ice cream when he gets the munchies.
Because he puts the safety and needs of others before his own.
Because he is a badass whether he's in action or standing still
Because he's loyal to Red.
Because he will protect Red at all cost.
Because he is brave and can be threatening when he needs to be.
Because he's got the best intentions for everyone.

Future titles

"His name is Dembe. Dembe Zuma."
"He speaks four languages fluently and can by on half a dozen more."
"He was left to die chained to a standpipe in the basement of a squalid brothel in Nairobi. Branded. Burned. Barely alive."
"He needed you to get the Fulcrum. He wanted you to discover secrets."
"He was 14 when I found him. Too old. Too tall. Too angry and dangerous."
"Maybe you should stop thinking about it and do it."

tftnt Miranda Love the title Too bad Red didn't listen


We really need to know more about Hisham. His life is pretty much a mystery to us. But he probably likes it that way. The more privacy for him and his family the better.

TFTNT, Miranda

We definitely need more future thread titles! We don't have any listed anymore. Something I'll start thinking about when I have some time, the latest the weekend.

But yes, Hisham is really quiet about his private life but that's okay I guess. Maybe he really is a very private person. Although I think he's sharing a lot of information with his fans lately. And pictures

I know. But he at least talked to Lizzie a bit in 2x19. We could use stuff from that episode at least... Or the one from 2x06, where he tries to stop Red from shooting that guy (I don't recall the name anymore). That was fantastic as well!

ETA - Forget about me suggestion one from 2x06 since we are using that one at the Red/Dembe thread right now

yeah we don't have a lot of Dembe quotes

Maybe "Because Who Needs Words When Silence Can Be Considered Golden" could be a thread title?

I like that title Amy.

I will rewatch the scene between Dembe and Liz tomorrow or Friday to see if there are any quotes we can use for a title.

Amy, I so love that idea for title! I'll add it right away if that's okay with you?

Aww, Miranda, that would be too awesome! I can't wait if we'll get anything.

See, and that would never be my weakness because I don't like oatmeal cookies at all

I don't like oatmeal cookies either but I though it was cute that he put that on Twitter.
