It's his calmness.
Ali is used to having her ability to stay clinical and calm win arguments for her, clearly. Even if the other has a better more valid point, the winner will always be the one that manages to do so and everything that she says is a stone cold bullet intended to make the other angry and lose it.
But Khaled is some kind of zen master. I don't know how he does it, tbh.
He is far better at handling someone like Ali than me... I would have happily and loudly called her a ****ing bitch as she walked away from me like she did him, especially at his age
