"I'll give you fifty bucks if you let me smoke in here." "It's a hundred dollar fine." "Your sister ever do anything like this before?" "This is her fourth arrest." "Three prior for disorderly conduct." "I see she likes to hit people." "She's scrappy." "Do these scrappy types commonly keep folks in their trunks?" "I admit that's odd." "Hello?" "I'm not sure how this precinct interrogates people, but generally it's QA." "Doesn't anybody wanna talk to me?" "......." "I'll talk to you." "Oh please, don't." "If I go to jail I'll rat your ass out faster than you can say "boo."" "They'll think you're crazy." "I don't care." "I'm tellin' them." " Then do it." " I will." " Fine." " Fine." "Hello, Jaye." "I'm Officer Hale." "Hi." "Go ahead." "Tell her." "You got yourself into some trouble." "Yeah." "Again." "Yeah." "Help me help you." "What?" "I wanna help you." "Tell me how do I do it?" "Um... release me?" "You think that's funny?" "I wasn't speaking rhetorically." "I said do you think that's funny?" "You broke the law, bitch." "And you presume to come in here and waste my time being funny?" "Who the fu ...." "Now, I didn't like that anymore than you did." "I don't enjoy raising my voice to people." "I enjoy respecting people." "I enjoy communicating with people." "Are we gonna be able to communicate, Jaye?" "Yes." "Good." "That makes me happy." " You don't have anything to hide, do you?" " Nuh-uh." "You don't feel like you need a lawyer, or..." "Good." "So let's communicate." "Tell me about the last time you saw your family's housekeeper before she ended up in your trunk?" "You might wanna hold that from the bottom." "There's no reason for you to be talking so shut your little mouth." "Just shut it." "Only trying to help." "Hi." "Hello." "Sorry." "I'm PMS-ing." "That'll do it." "Jaye, wait a minute. ............" "No, I have to tell you, they sense she's not right." "Who?" "That Gibson woman across the street." "Every cat she has runs away the first chance it gets." "They never stay more than a week." "Maybe she's eating them." "That's an ugly thought." "We should keep an eye on her." " Morning, sweetheart." " Hi." " Bonjour." " Bonjour, Yvette." "Sit." "I make you a pancake." "They're very good." "She put figs in the batter." "No thanks." "Wish I could." "But here's my laundry." "Oh, sit down and have some breakfast." "I can't." "Always in such a rush." "You never stay for more than five minutes." "I'm beginning to think you're trying to avoid spending time with your family." "No." "I just don't wanna be late for work, that's it." "The store doesn't open for another hour." "I admire your work ethic." "That boy who runs things... what's his name?" "The mouth-breather?" "He said there's room for improvement but he's been generally very happy with your performance." "Why are you talking to the mouthbreather... about my performance?" "I called you at work, he answered the phone." "Seemed rude not to have a conversation." "Of course it did." "Sweetheart, Doctor Ron asked about you the other day." "You really should go back and see him." "Ignoring your little stress issue won't make it go away." "It will if we stop talking about it." "Cherie, you look too pale." "Have a pancake." "I don't want a pancake." "Mooooo." "Have a pancake." "I don't want a pancake." "Then have some fruit." "..........." "Aren't you supposed to be at work?" "Yes, but now I'm here." "A word." "Thank you for breakfast, Yvette." "You're welcome, Mister Tyler." "................" "I don't want a pancake." "I don't want a pancake." "I don't want a pancake." "I don't want a pancake." "Yvette, can you make me a pancake?" "I'll make sure you get lots of figs in yours." "Were you just talking to the Cow Creamer?" "No." "Because it looked like you were." "Well, I wasn't." "How could you let this happen?" " It's not my fault." " Oh my god." "Yvette." "You need to go with Sharon now." "Her toilet's flooded." "It's an emergency." "By "emergency" do you mean there's poop everywhere?" "Yes, Aaron." "There's poop everywhere." "Come on, let's go." "I only just poured the batter." "I'm supposed to have a pancake." "She should eat." "You worry about her being thin." "Does she have time for a pancake?" " No." " No time for pancakes, sweetheart." "Good morning, sir." "I'm Officer Donikian with the B.C.I.S." "Oh, you must be looking for Sharon." "She's in the kitchen." "Go right on in." "I'm late for a Cholecystectomy." "Not mine." "Somebody else's." "Keep up the good work." "Just let her have the pancake." "The poop isn't going anywhere." "Now, Yvette." "We have to go now !" "It's almost finished." "Look, bubbles." "........." "Good morning." "I'm Officer Donikian." "This is Officer Arnold." "We're with the B.C.I.S." "Who?" "The Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services." "Who?" "The I.N.S." "We're looking for Yvette Lagimodiere." " She's not..." " I'm Yvette Lagimodiere." "Miss Lagimodiere, we have a warrant for your deportation." "I was hoping this was one of those odorless cocaine dolls." "I never seen one of them before." "Sorry." "So what's with the cow?" "I like cows." "They're docile and... keep to themselves." "Most of the time." "Any reason you're fond of this particular cow?" "My sister sort of responded to it." "She doesn't respond to other cows?" "Not like this." "Ew." "Get it off." "Is this triggering recovered memories or something?" "No, no." "It's just... it's dirty." "And there are already too many things here with faces." "You're being weird." "Why are you being weird?" "Are your pupils dilated?" "I expect the entitled invasion of privacy from Mom and Dad and whatshername, but not from you." "This is not an isolated incident." "The last time you were at the house, you got mad at those little pigshaped salt and pepper shakers." "Is this about farm animals or is it about condiments?" " Lay off the pipe." " No no no." "Strange men came into our home like those homosexuals that do makeovers,and just... they just took Yvette." "They took her." "And you didn't even blink." "I blinked." "I blinked plenty." "I'm sad Yvette got deported." "She cooked and did things." "She practically raised us." "I said I was sad." "I'm gonna miss her." "I already miss her." "Mooooo..." "Bring her home." "You're doing it again." "I am not." "I mean, doing what?" "Bring her home." "Bring her home." "Bring her home." "Bring her home." "I'll just put that in a bag." "Why?" "Is it talking to you?" "Would you listen to yourself?" "Bring her home." "Bring her home..." "So what are you gonna do?" "What d'you mean what am I gonna do?" "You have to bring Yvette home." "She practically raised us." "You should do something." "Hey." "Why aren't you talkin' to Sharon?" "She's an immigration attorney for godssake." "She might surprise us all and be useful." "C'mon." "Who do you think got Yvette deported?" "What ?" "We have sent a message to our illegal population that our immigration laws cannot be ignored." "However, I assure you no one's rights were violated." "And I'd just like to add that the United States has a generous program for legal immigration to which aspiring Americans are welcome to avail themselves." "You're a horrible, horrible person." "Yvette practically raised you." "I didn't even know she was illegal until this morning." "She's been living here on an expired visa since 1982." "That's the summer she took me to see E.T. and told me I had boobs." "You must be kicking yourself." "You could've got her deported a long time ago." "I could've got her citizenship, you ass." "This isn't my fault." "It's not like I reported her." "She was on a list." "So now it's her fault she lied and got caught?" "If we're being brutally honest, then yes." "Hi." "Hi." "They deported two busboys and a dishwasher." "They took our housekeeper." "Did you meet my sister, Sharon?" "This is all her fault." "Nice to meet you." "I saw you on the news." "You're a horrible person." " Oh." "And thanks." " You're welcome." "See." "Everybody blames you." "So strange because I blame you." "That a fact?" "You needed that pancake?" "Was it worth it?" "Was it the best pancake ever?" "I hope so." "This is not about breakfast food." "It is about breakfast food." "I was trying to get Yvette out of the house but you just had to have that pancake." "Yeah." "You were being really weird with the whole pancake thing." "Can't you just fix it?" "You know, like before they ship her off to Mexico or whatever." "I tried." "She's gone." "They're putting her on a bus." "They're kicking her out of the country and they're not letting her back." "Aw, crap." "It was the pancake." "Stupid cow." "Selfish bitch." "I love them, I do." "But they can be mean-spirited." "I wouldn't say they're mean people, but they can be mean-spirited." "They used to ignore me for hours... when we were much younger." "If they did that now I'd..." "I'd just leave the room." "You think the way this went -- what it devolved into -- that might've been a personal attack on you?" "No." "Oh, god, no." "The thing I've learned about Aaron and Jaye it's never about me." "Ever." "It's like I'm listening to my own life story." " I've got a couple of sisters..." " Except right now." "Right now, this is about me." "I did everything in my power short of breaking the law to keep Yvette in this country." "That fine's not per cigarette, is it?" "I put my ass on the line." "But that wasn't enough for them." "No, Mike." "It wasn't." "And now she's in some serious trouble..." "Yep." "Real serious." "She could go down for this." "How far down?" "This is a mistake." "You were at the naturalization ceremony when Yvette took the pledge of allegiance." "She's as American as any of us." "There was no naturalization ceremony." "She failed that little U.S.A. test three times." "What're you talking about?" "She's not American." "She's French" " Canadian." "At least it's the same continent." ".........." "A while. .........." "So you've been lying to your entire family about this for twenty years?" "I ..........." "lying the whole time." "There was the initial lie and then I just never bothered to tell you the truth." "I'm not proud of it." "I knew she should've gone to those citizenship classes." "I couldn't have her in school all day." "There were things that needed to be done." "I'm just sick about this." "How do you think I feel?" "Like a liar, I imagine." "This is why I was afraid to tell you." "I knew you'd be upset." "Do you know how embarrassing this is for Sharon?" "She looks like an ass." "I look like an ass." "I play golf with politicians who feel very strongly about this issue." "We employed an illegal alien." "Oh, don't be such a drama queen." "Can't you just make a phone call?" "No, I can't just make a phone call." "This isn't a victim-less crime." "The money you were paying Yvette could've gone to an American minority worker or someone who doesn't have a high school ............" "We didn't like those minority workers, we liked Yvette." "She's the one we invited into our home." "And then told her to clean it." "Sorry." "It's just very, very sad." "I'm very sad." "Sharon, go talk to your father." "You're his favorite." "I thought I was his favorite." "We don't have favorites." "Can't we just go get her and smuggle her back?" "It is only Canada." "Your father would have an aneurysm." "So we just stick her in a storage unit with a mini-fridge and a Port" " O-Potty until he cools off." "Or a hotel." "The important thing is we bring her home." "That's what we need to do." "That's our goal." "I realize that, sweetheart, but..." "I'll give you all the cash I have in my wallet." "He's really upset." "I'm making tea." "Let me help." "So that bus Yvette is on?" "Where do you suppose it's going?" "I remember one time Yvette sayin' she was from Canada, but I sorta stopped listening after that." "I guess her family was really, really poor and..." "" ..." "lived very much like my little cherie , Miss Jaye."" "Stop it." "She did not say that." "You know she did." "She was an only child and had no friends and when she was sixteen a baby Jesus ornament ignited the Christmas tree and burned the entire house down." "Her parents died in the fire." "Ohmygod." "Ohmygod." "Why does everything have to be so dramatic?" "I know, right." "Can you imagine if the baby Jesus killed Mom and Dad?" "That'd suck." "Yeah." "I'd be devastated." "My life would never be the same." "Yeah." "And you know Sharon's gonna throw herself on Dad's coffin when it goes into the ground." "Yeah." "Somehow I don't think the folks dying' is gonna have that big of an impact on your life." "What?" "You're not gonna be throwin' yourself on anyone's coffin." "That doesn't make me a bad person." "Not at all." "But you are insulated." "You wear your hillbilly trailer park lifestyle around your neck like a ring of garlic." "Are you trying to ward us off?" "Mom and Dad have no concept of boundaries." "I'm sorry, but they drive me crazy with the constant interest about everything." "You do know she goes through your stuff all the time ?" "Like all the time." "How can you stand living there?" "It helps that I don't pay rent." "Oh, you're turning into them." "You're turning into Mom and Dad with your constant interest." "I'm not interested." "I'm concerned." "Can't you keep it to yourself?" "I thought you and I had an unspoken agreement never to get into each other's business uninvited?" "I never said that." "That's why it's unspoken, .......... ." "Okay." "Well." "If you won't talk to me... will you talk to this?" "You're scaring me." "Oh, boo-hoo." "Because I don't like your stupid Cow Creamer?" "Because you won't talk to me." "Hey, how ..........?" "Good... how... how are you?" "Just nifty." "Is there a problem?" "Are you having second thoughts about visiting our little country?" "No, no." "We're just... no." "We're looking for our passports." "Is that them there?" "Oh." "Look at that." "A snake would'a bit ya, eh?" "Sure would." "If you like, you can pull on forward and I'll see to it you're taken care of." "Great." "Passports, please." "Thank you." "Business or pleasure." "Pleasure?" "When an agent of a sovereign nation asks those questions, you're expected to answer truthfully." "It's the law." "Do you think you're above the law, Jaye?" "Not really." "I mean, I got arrested, didn't I?" "Did you just give me tone?" "No." "There was no tone." "You entered a foreign country under false pretenses with the intent of committing a crime." "I actually haven't admitted that." "So you can't put that down." "But you admit you were driving the vehicle and the vehicle you were driving was yours?" "And at no time during your stay with our neighbors to the north did someone else drive your vehicle?" "Can I put that down?" "Sure." "No sign of her." "The woman at the ticket counter said the bus from Buffalo dropped everybody off two hours ago ." " Ohmygod." " What?" "That guy just blew his nose on the ground." "I thought Canadians were supposed to be clean." "Just don't make eye contact." "So what do we do now?" "I guess we work our way up and down the streets canvassing the 'hood." "We look for hotels, motels, all night diners, women's shelters, anyplace she might..." "There she is." "Yvette!" "Children!" "But what are you doing here?" "We came to take you home." "I have not a home." "Of course you have a home." "And it's getting dirtier by the minute without you." "We should go." "The important officials have taken from me my passport." "Oh, you don't need that." "They will send me to jail." "They told me this." "Only if you get caught." "Which you won't, because you'll be in the trunk." "See?" "We've got pillows and a blanket in there." "Your teddy bear blankie." "They're Ewoks." "This is a most beautiful kindness." "But it is too dangerous." "No, it's fine." "I tested it." "Not this danger, cherie." "The danger is to your family." "To your parents, and your sister, no?" "Mom wants you back, Dad'll get over it, and Sharon..." "Sharon's a bitch." "I don't want to hear these words from your mouth to your sister." "Yes, Yvette." "She is a good heart that maybe beats too fast." "Please give to your father this." "It is my key, also a birthday card." "You give it to him." "On his birthday." "In eight months." "I know when is his birthday." "This was all they had at the bus station." "I had to say goodbye and I'm sorry." "Please." "Take it." "Fine." "But we're not leaving you in this bus station." "A hundred and forty-four dollars." "That's everything Mom gave us." "One hundred forty-four U.S." "It will go further here." "I will have a very nice room." "Do you have your ATM card?" "I just use it to clean my nails." "I don't actually have any money." "You have to have some." "Uh, I actually pay rent." "Children, please don't fight." "Moooo." "Bring her home." "I can't." "She won't let me." "She won't let you what?" "Nothing." "You weren't even talking to us, were you?" "Does your mother know you took her creamer?" "Right on red." " What?" " Right on Red!" "Right on red!" "Mooo!" " What are you doing?" " I don't know!" " It's one-way!" "It's one-way!" " I know!" "I know!" "Is anyone hurt?" "Are you alright?" "We're fine." "Sorry about your yard." "My god..." "My god..." "I don't believe it." "Hello, Mother." ""Bring her home..." No way." "My god..." "Dad..." "My daughter..." "I thought they were supposed to be dirt poor?" "These people aren't even French!" "Or dead." "I can't believe it's you." "Cindy." "Cindy?" "Why she's just a great big liar." "Awesome." "You knew about this." "What?" "No." "You expect me to believe we just ended up on Yvette's-dead-parents'" " who-aren't-really-dead-lawn by chance?" "I honestly don't care what you believe." "Well -- of course I care what you believe." "So, anyway..." "You've come home..." "You should have told us... we would have understood why you ran away." "She ran away?" "...you were pregnant." "I'm your Grandfather Fred and this is your Grandmother Helen..." "Call me Nanoo Helen." "I don't wish to." "Mom, Dad " " Jaye and Aaron aren't my children." "So you employ my daughter, do you?" "She works for our parents." "I see." "She's more a member of the family than anything else." "I'm the Tylers ' housekeeper, Dad." "But she practically raised us." "That's not true." "Your parents raised you." "Don't ever think otherwise." "Well, good." "If their family can afford a live-in housekeeper they shouldn't have any trouble paying for the damage done to the lawn." "Thank you, Yvette." "I'm sorry we don't have anything proper to serve you." "It's fine, we're fine." "Yeah." "These are great." "If you had called..." "It was a spur of the moment thing." "After twenty years, a phone call..." "You're right." "Should have called." "I'm sorry." "Let's do it again another time when it's more convenient." "These kids have a long drive." "But it's late." "Children?" "Let's go." "Yes." "Leave." "That's what you do best." "How would you know what I do best?" "You don't know a thing about me." "How could we?" "In twenty years we've received only half a dozen postcards." "Which is more than I received from you in all the time I was under this roof." "Mmmm." "Moist." "We gave you everything." "Everything except what I needed -- which was you." "What was the word I spelled to win the fifth grade spelling bee?" "Of course you can't be expected to remember something you never knew." "Because you weren't there." "Do you have any idea what you put us through?" "What I put you through?" "I was gone two hours and these children came to another country to find me!" "But you..?" "I was at the local youth hostel for four months praying for you to find me." "Did you even bother to call the police?" "You were willful!" "I was lonely!" "So..." "lonely." "You never wanted a child." "I was raised by teachers and camp counselors and the "help."" "If I was good at leaving it's because you held the door." "Say something." "It's okay." "Let's just go." "It's not okay." "It's not supposed to be like this." "It was sweet of you to do this, Jaye..." "I didn't do this!" "I didn't bring you here!" "I'm not..." "I'm gonna kill that cow." "Hope you're happy. 'Cause nobody else is." "What good did this do?" "Jaye!" "Open the door." "Open the door." "You make me bring her all the way here just so she can feel like crap?" "Please stop talking to that creamer." "What's wrong with her?" "Nothing." "There's nothing wrong with her, all right?" "Go away." "She looks cracked." "You shut up." "You will not speak to my wife like that!" "I'm not gonna argue with you about this." "Are you the Cow Of Pain?" "Are you?" "Bring her home." "What?" "Bring her home." "I told you to shut up." "And that's when you assaulted him?" "Euh... not exactly..." "Get in the car." "You don't screw with my family." "Hey -- no one's more surprised than me on that." "Honest." "Fine." "You wanted us to call the police?" "We'll call the police!" "Now are you ready to go home?" "Cherie..." "It's the tomato, cut the way you like, thin, on the good bread " " It's for your trip, cherie." "'Oblique.' That was the word you spelled." "Hop in." "You laid that guy out." "I barely tapped him." "Old people go down easy." "Did the Cow tell you to hit him?" "No." "Shut up." "I sense you're not ready to talk about this." " My god, it's like we're connected." " We are." "Which is why I just have to say, as your brother " "I'm gonna be relentless until you tell me what's going on with you." "Gawd." "As if I knew." "Look innocent." "Passports." "You bringing any produce in the country?" "Produce?" "No." "Unreported purchases?" "No." "Anything I should know?" "What?" "Is it anything I should know?" "Nothing you should know." "Go ahead." "Are we clear?" "Don't see anything " "Okay, then we're dead." "Step out of the vehicle!" "..........." "Put down your weapon." "Put down your weapon." "It's a cow." "How did they know?" "Bitch." "Say I'm your lawyer." "No." "Say I'm your lawyer so we can talk privately." "Say it." "She's my lawyer." "Well, if it isn't the squealer." "Thanks for squealing, squealer." "How am I a squealer?" "Um, could it be the squealing?" "You ambushed us with the fuzz." "You were all back-lit and evil-smoking like that guy on the X-Files." "You ratted out your own brother and sister." "Is this because we like each other better than we like you?" "You're hateful." "You're hateful." "The blonde one's queer." "Look at her." "Those fingernails are a dead giveaway." "Cut all nice and short." "Clean cuticle beds." "Lesbians always trim their nails like that." "Ya know why?" "You actually think I tipped the police?" "You were there waiting with them." "That's because they tipped me." "I knew you'd try something stupid like this, which is why I tagged your name so when it came up in the system" "I'd know about it." "And then you just dropped everything and came charging to the rescue?" "You're my sister." "When are they gonna release me?" "You might not want to think "release" so much as "parole."" "Which I'm sure you'll be eligible for at some point." "The Canadians are furious." "Furious Canadians?" "Does that even work?" "They've already filed for extradition." "Sharon -- this is your one chance to redeem yourself." "I don't care how you do it, but you can not let them send her back there." "Not Yvette." "You." "Me?" "They want to send me to Canada?" "To face charges." "Reckless endangerment... vandalism... assault... driving the wrong way down a one-way street..." " Okay." "I get it." " I don't think you do." "After they're finished with you there, the U.S. will probably bring you back here to answer for attempted smuggling." "You're wanted in two countries." "Guess it's a lucky thing I got me a good lawyer, huh?" "Actually, you might want to consider new representation " "I don't think I can stop this, Jaye." "I'll be okay." "Just try to get Aaron out." "He's already out." "Bastard!" "He sang?" "!" "No." "You admitted you were driving the car." "Oh." "I sang." "There's like six "Law And Orders" on the air now." "Have you never seen one of them?" "And I guess they already sent Yvette back." "Hilariously enough, she gets to stay." "She does?" "In a U.S. jail, until her identity can be established." "Did you know her real name's Cindy something?" "I'm really sorry about all this." "I'm sorry I asked for that pancake." "I'm sorry you got deported." "I'm sorry I made such a mess of things." "I'm sorry about your parents and sticking you in the trunk." "I'm just really, really sorry." "I'm not." "Okay, well maybe the trunk thing." "But not the rest of it." "I feel like I'm free finally." "Okay, well that's just ironic." "I never thought I'd see them again." "But every day for twenty years, I've wondered if I made a mistake." "Now I know I didn't." "So you recommend this whole running away from your family thing, then?" "'Cause I've kind of been considering it." "Dear, I've met your family." "You may have wheels on your house -- it's not gonna help." "Yes, you're right." "I think Mom had a Lo-Jack surgically implanted in me when I was born." "And now that I'm being shipped off to Canadian justice " " I'm kinda glad." "At least they'll know where to send me stuff." "You'll always be taken care of." "I guess that's true." "Cindy?" "I have a confession to make..." "What's that?" "I miss Yvette." "And she miss es you, cherie." "Tyler." "Let's go." "So is Canada still ruled by the Queen of England?" "Because if the judges there are gonna be wearing wigs, as an American I might have an issue with that." "You're not going to Canada." "Ever again, probably." "They've put a restriction on your passport." "What?" "Charges have been dropped." "You're going home." "Mom!" "You sprung me!" "How?" "Wasn't me, dear." "I take back every bad thing I ever said about you -- you're the best lawyer a sister could have!" "How'd you pull it off?" "I made tea." "Made tea?" "Please." "It wasn't her..." "It's just very, very sad." "I'm very sad." "Sharon, go talk to your father." "You're his favorite." "I thought I was his favorite." "We don't have favorites." "Can't we just go get her and smuggle her back?" "Are you okay?" "She's been with us for over twenty years." "We practically raised her." "Let me make you some tea." "Sydney." "Darrin." "Feel like a game of golf?" "I made tea." "You made tea?" "Please." "It wasn't her..." "Your father's very upset." "Make sure you thank him." "He compromised his principles and wrote a very large check to the Bradleys." ""Cindy's" parents." "How will I ever adapt to that name?" "Daddy's girl." "You weren't mistreated, were you?" "I wasn't, either." "They didn't mistreat me." "Forty-five hundred dollars." "American or Canadian?" "I'm sorry I made you compromise your principles." "The first principle is always family." "You take care of them first." "You ready?" "Oui, Mister Tyler." "Yes, yes." "How did you...?" "That's like magic." "Your father had a little round of midnight golf." "He arranged a limited amnesty for Yvette " " Cindy." "And this time she's gonna pass that test and become a proud American." "Yes, Mister Tyler." "Let's go home." "Cindy." "Thank you." " Morning, girls." " Morning." "Branches of the government ." "I know !" "Of course you know, you're already an American." "Executive, legislative, and judicial ." "I govern these branches." "Who am I?" "You are the constitution." "Where do you want your Ewok linens?" "Oh, could you put those in my room?" "How about I throw them over here." "Sweetheart, .........?" "The store doesn't open for another hour and the mouth-breather doesn't come in until noon." "I plan on being late." "Can I have a pancake?" "It would be my pleasure." "Oh my god, .............?" "So, what happened to the cow creamer?" "Aaron broke it." "You realize it was a Limoges." "It still works." "The constitution adopted by the first thirteen states was...?" "The articles of Confederation." "Very nice." "............"
