أتهم توفيق عكاشة باسم يوسف بأنه مأجور و يتذكر الشنكحاوى الزعبلاوى عندما رؤيتة , كما أكد أن أعطى الأجير حقة قبل أن يجف عرقة , و أكد أن الأخ عايز يتقلوظ , و **أبجنى تجدنى** , و أكد أنه لهط من البلد , و أكد أن نجيب ساويرس زعلان عشان أتكلمنا فى قلب المجتمع الإسرائيلى و أن لازم يكون فيه حقوق جوة إسرائيل و هما مش أحسن مننا

you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours
This Arabic slang idiom is equivalent to the British slang idiom:
you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours
Meaning: (saying) used to say that if sb helps you, you will help them, even if this is unfair to others
I heard this idiom used in a British comic movie while that guy was trying to bribe the policeman
