He leaves behind his wife, Oksana; his companions are his producer, Azamat Bagatov, and a pet chicken. </p><p>In <a href="/wiki/New_York_City" title="New York City">New York City</a>, Borat sees an episode of <i><a href="/wiki/Baywatch" title="Baywatch">Baywatch</a></i> on TV and immediately falls in love with <a href="/wiki/Pamela_Anderson" title="Pamela Anderson">Pamela Anderson</a>'s character, <a href="/wiki/C._J._Parker" title="C.

Borat is then informed by telegram that a bear has killed Oksana. Delighted, he resolves to travel to California and make Anderson his new wife. Azamat insists that they drive because of his fear of flying, which stems from the <a href="/wiki/September_11_attacks" title="September 11 attacks">September 11 attacks</a>, which he believes was "<a href="/wiki/9/11_conspiracy_theories#Israel" title="9/11 conspiracy theories">the work of the Jews</a>". Borat takes driving lessons and buys a dilapidated ice cream truck for the journey. </p><p>During the trip, Borat acquires a <i>Baywatch</i> booklet and continues gathering footage for his documentary. He meets <a href="/wiki/Gay_pride_parade" class="mw-redirect" title="Gay pride parade">gay pride parade</a> participants, politicians <a href="/wiki/Alan_Keyes" title="Alan Keyes">Alan Keyes</a> and <a href="/wiki/Bob_Barr" title="Bob Barr">Bob Barr</a>, and <a href="/wiki/African_Americans" title="African Americans">African-American</a> youths. Borat is also interviewed on a local television station and disrupts the weather report. Visiting a rodeo, Borat excites the crowd with <a href="/wiki/Jingoism" title="Jingoism">jingoistic</a> remarks but then sings a fictional <a href="/wiki/Meni%C5%8B_Qazaqstanym" class="mw-redirect" title="Meniŋ Qazaqstanym">Kazakhstani national anthem</a> to the tune of "<a href="/wiki/The_Star-Spangled_Banner" title="The Star-Spangled Banner">The Star-Spangled Banner</a>," receiving a strong negative reaction. </p><p>In Atlanta, Borat finds a hotel but is kicked out when he offends the front desk worker by talking and dressing like the African-American youths he met earlier. Staying at a <a href="/wiki/Bed-and-breakfast" class="mw-redirect" title="Bed-and-breakfast">bed-and-breakfast</a>, Borat and Azamat are stunned to learn their hosts are Jewish. The two escape after throwing money at two woodlice, believing they are their hosts transformed. Borat attempts to buy a handgun to defend himself but is turned away because he is not an American citizen, so he buys a bear instead. </p><p>An etiquette coach suggests Borat attend a private dinner at an eating club in the <a href="/wiki/Southern_United_States" title="Southern United States">South</a>. During the dinner, he offends the other guests when he lets Luenell, an African-American prostitute, into the house, and as a result, they are both kicked out. Borat befriends Luenell, who invites him into a relationship with her but tells her he is in love with someone else. Borat then visits an antique shop, where he clumsily breaks various <a href="/wiki/Confederate_States_of_America" title="Confederate States of America">Confederate</a> heritage items. </p><p>At a hotel, Borat sees Azamat masturbating over a picture of Pamela Anderson and inadvertently reveals his real motive for traveling to California. Azamat becomes livid at Borat's deception, and the situation escalates into a nude brawl, which spills out into the hallway, a crowded elevator, and then into a packed convention ballroom. </p><p>Azamat abandons Borat, taking his passport, their money, and the bear. Borat's truck runs out of fuel, and he begins to hitchhike to California. He is soon picked up by drunken <a href="/wiki/Fraternities_and_sororities" title="Fraternities and sororities">fraternity</a> brothers from the <a href="/wiki/University_of_South_Carolina" title="University of South Carolina">University of South Carolina</a>. On learning the reason for his trip, they show him the <i>Pam and Tommy</i> <a href="/wiki/Sex_tape" class="mw-redirect" title="Sex tape">sex tape</a>, which reveals that she is not a virgin.

He accompanies church members on a bus to Los Angeles and soon finds Azamat dressed as <a href="/wiki/Oliver_Hardy" title="Oliver Hardy">Oliver Hardy</a>. The two reconcile, and Azamat tells Borat where to find Pamela Anderson. Borat finally comes face-to-face with Anderson at a book signing at a <a href="/wiki/Virgin_Megastores" title="Virgin Megastores">Virgin Megastore</a>. After showing Anderson his "traditional marriage sack", Borat pursues her throughout the store in an attempt to abduct her, until security guards intervene. </p><p>Borat visits Luenell, and they return to Kazakhstan together. They bring several American customs and traditions back to his village, including the apparent conversion of the people to Christianity (the Kazakh version of which includes <a href="/wiki/Crucifixion" title="Crucifixion">crucifixion</a> and torturing of Jews) and the introduction of computer-based technology, such as <a href="/wiki/IPod" title="IPod">iPods</a>, laptop computers, and high-definition television. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Borat&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Borat_in_Cologne.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7e/Borat_in_Cologne.jpg/220px-Borat_in_Cologne.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="189" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7e/Borat_in_Cologne.jpg/330px-Borat_in_Cologne.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7e/Borat_in_Cologne.jpg/440px-Borat_in_Cologne.jpg 2x" data-file-width="584" data-file-height="502" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Sacha_Baron_Cohen" title="Sacha Baron Cohen">Sacha Baron Cohen</a> in character as Borat, at the <a href="/wiki/Cologne" title="Cologne">Cologne</a> premiere of the film</figcaption></figure> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Sacha_Baron_Cohen" title="Sacha Baron Cohen">Sacha Baron Cohen</a> as <a href="/wiki/Borat_Sagdiyev" title="Borat Sagdiyev">Borat Sagdiyev</a> (<a href="/wiki/Kazakh_language" title="Kazakh language">Kazakh</a> / <a href="/wiki/Russian_language" title="Russian language">Russian</a>: Борат Сагдиев), a fictional <a href="/wiki/Kazakhstan" title="Kazakhstan">Kazakh</a> journalist, distinguished by exaggeratedly strong <a href="/wiki/Antisemitism" title="Antisemitism">antisemitism</a>, <a href="/wiki/Sexism" title="Sexism">sexism</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Antiziganism" class="mw-redirect" title="Antiziganism">antiziganism</a>, which is depicted as apparently the norm in his homeland.
