"Let's go, let's go." "Ready for them?" "Rosie, open up." "Vamos." "Afuera." "Vamos." "Okay, let's go." " Just give me five." " What?" "What do you want me to do?" "Look, it's not my problem." "All I'm asking, Stevens, is did the old man get seen to?" "He was sweating and shaking when I put him on the bus." "He said his arm felt numb." "Jesus Christ, Brogan." "Everything is a humanitarian crisis with you." "You signed off on more orders of recognizance than the rest of your unit combined." "Don't give me that shit." "The man's about to have a goddamn heart attack." "I want him seen to." "Here he is." "Your guy was given a clean bill of health by Doc Sturgess." "He bused out three hours ago." "You happy now?" "Yeah, I'm happy now." "Hey, Max, you're coming on Wednesday, right?" "For my dad's nationalization party?" "Max, it's an important thing in my culture to make my father proud." "You know they've been wanting to meet you." "I give you my word, they're not as scary as I made them out to be, okay?" "You better do it before they blow the lunch whistle." "All right, let's go, compadres." "Let's do it." "Get down!" " Over there." " I got it." "Sorry." "What you waiting for, Brogan?" "A marriage proposal?" "Come on." "Come on." "Hey, hey!" "Gene." "I got her." "Thanks." "No, no, no." "No es posible." "Muy bonita." "You get her number?" "I smell an O.R." "Yeah, he's always giving the pretty ones a pass, sometimes even the not-so-pretty ones." " Oh!" " Okay?" "Now knock it the fuck off." "Okay, everybody say, "Thank you, Mr. Kossef, for singing that beautiful song."" "Thank you, Mr. Kossef." "You know, that was actually a pretty tough crowd." "Yeah." "Well, was I shit?" "No, actually." "No, and for somebody who just learned the song last night," " I thought you did a very good job." " Oh, good." "'Cause I had absolutely no idea" " what I was singing about." " Yeah." " Oh, you could tell?" " Yeah, and also, please don't take this the wrong way, but what kind of Jew gets hired at a Jewish day school who doesn't speak any Hebrew or even really, like, know the first thing about Judaism?" "Well, I guess, the atheist kind." "Excuse me?" "No, I'm sorry." "It's just..." "I just needed a job." "And it was actually my manager's mom" " is the principal of the school." " Ah." " You didn't completely suck." " Oh, thank you." "I do not want you to say a word about this to anyone." "I mean anyone." "It could be very serious trouble for the school," " and for me." " No, I'm not gonna say anything." "I want you to know" "I am only doing this because of my son, because he says to me, "Mom, Gavin is going to be an important musician."" " Oh, yeah?" " Yeah." "Otherwise, I wouldn't do anything like this." "Well, thank you." "Thank you, Rachel." "Honestly, I can't thank you enough." "She'll be right along, ma'am." "Thank you." "Oh." "Mmm." "Mmm." "Hold on just a second." "Would you like to draw?" "Here you go, honey." "I have something else for you this week, too." "Your teacher, Madame Ntende, sent this to me in the mail." "She said that you lost it right before you left and that you were really sad." "And she found it a few weeks ago." "Honey, it's gonna be a little while longer, and we are working very hard to find you a good mommy." "She won't ever replace your real mommy, but she will love you." "And I promise that she'll never leave you." "The men involved in this terrorist attack have been vilified, demonized, and condemned by the Western world." "But we never want to talk about the 9/11 Jihadists as real people." "The media and our leaders are quick to label them as terrorists and monsters and murderers." "But shouldn't we try to understand them as human beings?" "Fuck, no." "Everybody calls them cowards for murdering helpless passengers and causing the deaths of thousands of innocent lives." " What would you call them?" " Hey." "It's the truth." "But cowards do not knowingly sacrifice themselves for a greater cause." " I don't agree at all." " The cause is to kill us?" "You may not agree with their cause..." "I don't understand why she's up there." "But I do not believe their actions were either cowardly or irrational." "You know you don't want to hear this shit, Ms. B." "She's talking." "I feel that, like the oppressed Palestinian people, or the Iraqi citizens under occupation in their own homeland, that they found themselves without a voice." "Hey." "And that the only way for them to be heard is to scream with the might of tons of steel and thunderous jet engines behind them upon impact." "Okay, okay." "Their voices were heard." "You may not like what they had to say or how they got their message across, but for the first time, we heard it." "We gotta listen to this shit?" " What we heard was a cry for justice." " Hold on, hold on, hold on." "Okay, okay." "Yes, thank you." "Hey, Ms. B., thank you." "I am..." "I am not sure that that was the point of the assignment, Taslima, but, uh, yes, it was certainly thought-provoking." " Bullshit." " Yeah, bullshit." "You can sit down now." "College is hungry for her." "Fucking traitor." "Crybaby." "Why don't you get the fuck out of our country and go back to camel-humping Saudi Arabia," " where the fuck you camel-humpers live." " Brian." "Brian." "I know you're upset, but I'm not going to condone an outburst like that." "Yo, what's your name?" "Taslima bin Laden?" "Hey, yo, I just got one question, Ms. B." "Did you frisk her?" "What if the bitch be strapped with dynamite or TNT or something?" "She going to get a grenade!" " Yo, take us all out." " Boom!" "Marcus!" "Sure, I'm up for that." "Oh, shit, it's my brother." "Hey." "I thought I told you not to come." "Javier's giving me a ride home." "It's on my way." "I just need five minutes to finish up." "I'm in the middle of an order." "Look at you." "Cover yourself up." "Just go." "I'll meet you in the car." "Please." " Um, Heavy-eye?" " Javier." "Hi, I'm Claire." "We spoke on the phone, remember?" "Right." "Yeah." "Okay." "Is that okay?" "Yeah, it's good." "Come back on Friday." "Friday." "Is that the soonest?" "Yeah." "Okay." "See you Friday." "Okay." "He's lying." "I did it last night." "##" "Oh, mama's boy taking out garbage." "Who made you the bitch of the family?" " You got no sister to do your grunt work?" " We take turn." "You gotta keep that shit under control, motherfucker." "Tomo." "Let's hit it." "Where to?" "Damn." "Oh, shit, I got this little Glock, homie." "Okay, check it out." "Wan's uncle's into him for 50 large." "Pays out on Saturdays, gets the cash in the store" "Friday night right before closing." "We're gonna roll by and scope it out." "Yeah, you the bitch." "Give Yong the Ruger." "Sweet gat, yo." "Tell me this don't make your little chachi hard." " Pussy." " Yong, you're gonna pop your cherry, fool." " That's right." " You up for that, Yong?" "Better be, homie." "Bysunbathing, crocodiles accelerate the chemical reactions in their bodies." "Once the croc is up to speed..." "No, I don't know her name." "I'll recognize her when I see her." "Yes." "Andasol Fabrics." "I'm gonna come down and have her released on an O.R." "She's got a minor child left unattended." "Are you sure?" "How long ago did they bus out?" "Wait, wait, wait." "Did anybody from Children's Services see her?" "Yeah." "Okay." "Thank you." "Fuck it."

" You did?" "You got a part?" " I know, it's unbelievable." "Oh, fuck." "That's a big deal, babe." "It's big news." " Yeah." " We should get a drink." "I'll get it." "Thanks, babe." "So how did you pull it off?" "I don't know." "The casting director knows my situation." "She's given me until Friday to get my l-9 in." "So there's a fellow I met through someone at Crunch." "He works at one of those photocopying stores on Fountain." "Come on, no, no, no." "You can't do that." "If you get caught with a fake green card, you could be done for fraud."

"I just want to know where this guy is." "Your Captain America who's gonna come down he's gonna sweep you off your feet, he's gonna marry you, he's gonna make you legit." " Isn't that what you're looking for?" " Captain America?" "I just wonder what's taking you so long." "Here you go." "Thanks, babe." "Yeah, listen, I gotta go." "I gotta go." "It was a real pleasure meeting you..." " Rose." " Rose." "Yeah, just give me an email when your TV thing comes out." "Gavin, I'll see you... before." "You know?" "Yeah." "Yeah, maybe." "She owes me money for the week." "What are you doing, negotiating with me?" "Is that what you think you're doing?" "How much?" "$50." "If it's not the right kid, I'm coming back." "What's his name?" "Juan." "Juan Sanchez." "Thanks, pal." "I need a reverse I.D. on a Tijuana number." "Let's see." "It is 661-555-7782." "Appreciate it." "Oh, I think it's this goddamn stomach flu that's going around." "I've been throwing up all morning." "Well, let them know I'll call in later tomorrow." "Okay, let's go." "Uh, I'm not finding any record of your l-539 in our system." "You said you sent it in six weeks ago?" "Eight." "Eight weeks ago." "Okay." "Well, do you have a mailing receipt?" "No, because I just copied my l-94 and sent it by regular mail." "Okay, well, then how about a cancelled check for the application fee?" "Um, well, I paid by money order." "I don't have a checkbook." "I didn't get a receipt for my money order." "Listen, I'm starting to get a little concerned here..." "Ma'am, you are not out of status until you receive a decision on your extension application." "However, if that application is lost in the system or for whatever reason it doesn't get to us, then how are we supposed to know that you even sent it in in the first place?" "From our perspective, with no mailing receipt or cancelled money order, you're out of status, unless..." "My application just turns up." "Son of a bitch." "Fuck." "It's a brand-new fucking car." "Sorry, didn't I..." "I didn't have time to stop." "You just shot out like that." " I signaled, didn't I?" " No, and even if you did, it's supposed to be clear before you turn into the street." "You okay?" "Yeah." "Yeah?" "You look dazed." " No." " Do you need to sit down?" "Does it hurt anywhere?" " No, no, no, no, no." " You sure?" "Yeah, I'm all right, I think." "I've just had a really, really shitty day." " Where you from, New Zealand?" " Australia." "It's always one or the other." "I can never quite tell the difference." "I said New Zealand to impress you in case I was right." "Most people usually say Australia, which upsets the Kiwis." "I don't have the money to pay for this." "I'm not insured on my car." "Ouch." "That's not good." "I must have fucked someone over really badly in a past life because shit is just piling up for me today." "I just spent the last three hours in there trying to convince some bureaucratic bitch that I actually did file for an extension on my visitor's visa." "Which I fucking did." " What's your name?" " I'm sorry." "I'm Claire Shepard." "Claire Shepard, I'm Cole Frankel," " and I know of your frustrations." " You do?" "I'm a supervisory center adjudications officer." "What that means is I get to determine whether a green card application has merit or not." "Ah, that must be interesting." "Yeah, I'll tell you what's interesting, and what's of a bit of concern to me, aside from you not having insurance, and that's someone who's filing for an extension of their visitor's visa" "driving around with a stack of head shots in her car." "There's nothing wrong with a beautiful woman like yourself having head shots in her car if you were back in Australia." "You're not authorized to be seeking employment in the United States, Claire." "Am I wrong about that?" "All right, here's what I propose." "We call AAA... my card, of course." "If you don't have insurance, you sure as hell don't have AAA." "Then we get your vehicle sorted out." "Then we go grab some lunch together." "Excuse me?" "I want to buy you lunch, Claire, and explain your options to you." "or we could just take a walk back into the building and sort it out there." "Juanito!" "Juanito!" "Juanito!" "Juanito!" "Gracias, Señor." "Sanchez." "Mireya." "24." "It would be last night or early this morning." "You positive?" "Yeah, okay." "Thanks." "That's a great show." "Nothing can touch that on TV." "I thought you said you wanted to discuss my situation." "All right." "Here's the thing, Claire." "You want to be an actress like Nicole and Naomi, obviously." "You know as well as I do the work they do in Australia doesn't count for shit." "They're stars because they make movies here in America." "If you were to get deported, or even chose voluntary departure, you ain't getting back into this country for a minimum of ten years." "And with voluntary departure, they say it's closer to five, but the truth is, you're lucky if you ever get back in." "What's your wife do?" "She works for the other side." "She's an immigration defense attorney." "Oh." "Is she available for a consult?" "That's funny." "Sexy, great sense of humor." "You got it all, Claire." "Except for a work permit." "I don't think you'll feel so witty when they introduce you to a holding cell down in San Pedro." "Strip-search, the whole bit." "Some mama Latina makes you her bitch for a couple nights." "All right." "You've made your point." "So where would you like to do it?" "You're goddamn amazing." "Whew." "You really are... a perfect little fuck machine." "Without a green card." "Well, maybe we could do something about that." "You can get me a green card?" "I can't just manufacture one for you." "I'm not in the counterfeiting business." "But I can have your file and application, which would conveniently land on my desk, and regardless of the merits of that application, it would be approved." "You could really pull that off?" "Like, on what grounds?" "You're a recognized TV star in Australia, Claire." "I'm bloody well not." "I'm not even close." "I don't know that." "And no one else does." "You fabricate some credits, a few, uh, Aussie awards, some bullshit testimonials." "And I make it fly." "It's called an EB-1." "It's a green card for persons of extraordinary ability." "Are you jerking me around?" "Or is this real?" "Because if you can make this happen for me..." "You'd make it worth my while." "Mm-hmm." "For two weeks." "For a green card?" "Six months, baby." "I don't think so." "One month." "Three months." "Two months and you get me approved up front, all right?" "You can hold on to the paperwork, but I want to see it." "I want to know that it's real." "Done." "But you're on the clock from tomorrow." "I call, and you get your ass over to whatever address I give you." "All right." "So you through with me for the day?" "Can I go grab a shower?" "No, wait." "I got one more favor to ask of you, Claire." "I want you down on all fours at the edge of the bed." "You ain't got that yet?" " You cheated today." " Check it out, yo." "Wait, wait, wait." "You gonna talk to her, dude?" " Taslima." "Taslima!" " Oh, God." "It's the sand-nigger express." "Raghead chick can hide her face and nobody even know she butt-ugly." "Hey, maybe you can get your sister to convert or something, A.Z." "Shut up." "Ruff ruff ruff ruff ruff!" "Put on your belt." "No." "Immigration Customs Enforcement." "Open the door." "What is this about?" "Federal agents." "Open the door, please." "We have a warrant." "Hands against the wall, please." "Hands against the wall." "What is this?" "Why is the FBI here?" "Relax, sir." "Put your hands behind your back." "Are you Taslima Jahangir?" "I'm Special Agent Phadkar." "Will you show me to your bedroom, please?" "I don't understand what this is about." "Did you write this?" "Why do you have it?" "It was brought to our attention by the principal of your school." "He was troubled by the position you took." "I thought there was something like freedom of speech in this country." "You essay elicits sympathy for the 9/11 hijackers, suggests you feel their cause was just." "That's not what I wrote." "I wrote that I understand why they did what they did." "I didn't write that I support it." "Do you?" "Support their actions?" "I understand their need to be heard." "I don't think they went about it in the right way." "Agent Phadkar." "Do you have an interest in suicide?" "Your diary suggests you do." "That's not..." "Those are notes on a class paper on why religions oppose suicide." "And you're not opposed to it?" "I wouldn't become a suicide bomber, if that's what you mean." "But you condone suicide bombing as a legitimate means to make a statement?" "That's what you wrote in your essay." "You're twisting my words." "That's not what I wrote." "Well, reads that way to me." ""Upon impact, their voices were finally heard." ""You may not like what they had to say" ""or how they got their message across," ""but we heard it." "For the first time, we heard it."" "I was just saying that they got our attention and that maybe we should understand why they did what they did." "That's all." "So if someone's pissed off at America, they should hijack and fly planes into our buildings." "That seems like a reasonable thing to do." "Agent Phadkar, over here." "Take a look at this." "She has a World of Islam account." "She's been frequenting some interesting chatrooms." "Global Jihad," "Jihad Talking Points." "I'm interested in all Muslim points of view." "It keeps me informed." "Taslima, your parents are in the United States illegally." "My brother and sister were born here." "They're American citizens." "True." "But you and your parents are not." "When your brother and sister reach the age of 21, they're entitled to petition for your parents to enter this country." "Until then, your family has no status." "Listen to me, Taslima." "Here's what I'm willing to do for you." "I'm not interested in detaining your family." "But I'd like to talk to you further." "Immigration and Customs Enforcement has every right to take your family into custody, but if you leave with us now and cooperate with us," "Immigration won't detain them." "They'll still have to resolve their status, but nobody's looking to make an issue of that right now." "You understand?" "Mr. Max, welcome to my home." " Thank you." " You honor me with your presence tonight." " Thank you." " This is my wife." "Very nice to meet you." "Welcome." "Thank you." "You have a beautiful home." "Thank you." "Congratulations, sir, on your naturalization." "Thank you." "Farid." "Come over here." "Come and meet an important gentleman." " He's my youngest son." "He's a lawyer." " Ah." " How are you?" " How do you do?" " It's a pleasure." " Hi." "How are you?" "This is Max." "He is the partner of Hamid." "You show him the respect, or he will have you deported." "He can't deport me, Baba." "I've already been naturalized." "You're the only person in this house who can be deported." "Until Saturday." "Then he becomes one of us." "I'm gonna go put her down." "It was good to meet you." " Thank you." " Okay, come on." "Hey, Max, I'm so glad you made it tonight." "I really appreciate it." "Get you a drink?" "Yeah, Scotch rocks, please." "Hey, guys, what are you doing?" "Inside." "My sister should not have come here tonight." "What's going on there?" "She puts herself before the family." "She shouldn't expect to be welcome around here." "Baba." "So, Max." "Hamid speaks so highly of you." "He looks up to you." "Never understood why he joined the immigration Gestapo." "I think that deep down inside he doesn't feel like he belongs." "I mean, what better way to prove you're red, white, and blue than by throwing out those who also don't belong?" "You're a lawyer, huh?" "I'm a junior partner at Berkhof, Mazolo, and Klein." "Specialize in personal injury." "We have 35 lawyers under us." "You're an ambulance chaser." "I don't chase anyone." "I turn clients away." "Excuse me." "You have another one of those?" "Max Brogan." "I work with Hamid." "I know who you are." "Thank you." "What does that say on your bracelet?" ""Little angel."" "My father gave it to me when I was 12." "You realize that they're staring at us." "Very disapproving looks you're getting for consorting with the outcast." "I'll risk it." "I've never been invited to a shunning before." "What is this?" "Something you guys brought over with you?" "I didn't bring it." "I was born here." "I'm the only one in this family who's an actual American." "Probably decided to naturalize." "Makes 'em every bit as American as you." "Let me tell you about my father." "The great American-to-be." "He was always critical of the Shah." "But after the revolution, one of his business rivals spread rumors that he was anti-Khomeini." "And the whole family had to flee across the border to Turkey." "He spent most of his savings trying to get everybody over here." "But see, he doesn't pine for the days of the Shah." "And I think he'd be perfectly content in that fucked-up Islamic shithole that that country is today." "Which is why he resents every day he spends here." "Well, he could go back." "He's too old to start over." "So what's your story?" "Any family?" "I have a daughter." "I'm not with her mother anymore." "How old is she?" "26." "Uh... no." "27." "You better get that straight, or you might piss her off." "I think I did that already." "Max, my father's asking for you." "It was nice meeting you, Max." "You, too." "I'm out of here." "Got a date." "Got a real hot date, Max." "Ignore her." "She's crazy." "I'm tired, Hamid." "I'm gonna go home." "Max." "My father." "See you tomorrow." "Tell your family thanks for me, okay?" "You know what she said to the Yoruban interpreter today?" ""Are you my mommy?"" "The interpreter says she's losing her ability to speak the language." "It's 23 months that she's been in there." "23 fucking months." "I feel gutted every time I go." "Ah, it's a shitty situation." "But you can't keep beating yourself up over it." "I was thinking... we could maybe adopt her." "D." "I'm serious." "Her mother's dying of AIDS in a hospice." "Leike's dad back in Nigeria denies paternity and won't accept custody of her." "We're working on it." "One of our own." "And we can keep working on it." "I've thought about this a lot." "And it feels right." "It feels like it's meant to be." "You can't just lay this on me and expect me to..." "God." "Will you think about it?" "It's important to me." "Please." "Yeah, I'll think about it." "Thank you." " I can't do this." " Oh." "I haven't even spoken Hebrew since my bar mitzvah, you know?" "I didn't even know it then." "You know what?" "You guys, you're all the same." "All of you." "You're all reform at best." "Most of you haven't gone to Shul since your bar mitzvahs." "But first thing you do when you come over here is play the Jew card." "Haven't you got any shame?" "Ouch." "That's pretty..." "Oh." "Hello?" "Hey, Mum." "Hey, hey, hey." "How are you doing?" "Yeah, did you get my message?" "Uh-huh." "Yeah." "Well, what about the rabbi?" "No, I need you to get him to write a letter like on the Temple's letterhead saying, uh, that I attend services regularly." "Uh, I was bar mitzvahed by him." "And that I'm, you know," "I'm strongly committed to the Jewish faith." "All right." "Well, listen, I'm kind of busy right now." "But I'll get back to you, though." "And will you do that for me?" "Yeah, you promise?" "Okay." "Listen, M..." "Yeah." "I'll speak to you soon." "All right." "I love you, too." "Bye-bye." "Bye-bye." "Bye." "Bye-bye." "Ahh..." "look, I..." "I got to be home by 10, yeah?" "So, um..." " Good luck." " Thank you." " With everything." " Thank you." "Oh, what about if I just kind of twiddled these... these side bits here?" "You think I'd get away with that?" "If I just stick these out like that?" "I can go all night with my wife, but I'm like a teenager with you." "Doesn't sound like you've gone all night with her in a long while." "It used to be hot between us." "One day, you're just not into it anymore." "It becomes like an effort." "Easier to jerk yourself off in the shower than to rub her back for half an hour." "Bloody sad." "Yeah, it is." "Maybe I'll come watch you on the set next week." "That's not part of the deal." "It's not supposed to be." "I just thought I'd stop by and..." "Um, I got to go." "I've got a meeting with an agent." "If she signs me, it's major." "I'll call you tomorrow." "Denise Frankel." " Hello." " Hello." "Please, thank you for helping my daughter." "Clearly, this is not about her immigration status." "But they're using her lack of status to get around normal criminal and juvenile proceedings." "My wife wants to know when we can see her." "I'm working on that." "I'm pushing for a one-on-one with the FBI task force officer tomorrow." "Right now, your entire family is at risk for removal." "I recommend you do not go back to your apartment." "Do you have any friends or family with whom you can stay?" "Rosa." "Come on, Rosa." "Rosa." "Rosa." "Can't find you, Rosa." "And another one bites the dust." "We do our best." "I'm sure you do, sir." "Yes." "Yes, this is him." "Who?" "Hey, Hamid." "Hamid?" "Hey, Hamid." "Hey!" "What's up?" "I, uh..." "It's my sister." "What's the matter?" "Maybe you can help me." "Do you recognize him?" "Agent Baraheri?" "It's her boss, from the print shop where she works." "We've got security video from the motel of an unidentified male perp in a hooded sweatshirt leaving the scene." "Time of death somewhere between 11 and midnight." "Did you know that your sister was having relations with Mr. Bedraz, who was married with two young kids?" "I never talked to her about the details of her private life, no." "Do you know of anyone who may have had it in for her?" "Jealous of her, perhaps?" "Like I said, I didn't get into her life." "There's something else." "I found these while going through Mr. Bedraz' jacket looking for identification." "They come in sets of threes." "Green card, driver's license, social." "All counterfeit." "We found more of this stuff at his apartment earlier this afternoon." "As best we can figure, he was cranking them out after hours at the store." "We've referred that end of it to your documented benefit for our task force." "Think it might be Mexican mafia, upset about him cutting into their action?" "We're looking at a number of possibilities right now." "When would be a good time to interview your other family members, Agent Baraheri?" "Can I just..." "I'd like to spend a moment with my sister alone, please." "Of course." "Um..." "I'm sorry for your loss." "I hate the fucking smell of that place." "I know you're judging me, Max." "What are you talking about?" "My sister." "What you witnessed last night." "Now I'm mourning her." "You doubt the veracity of my heart." "I'm just sitting here feeling your pain, my friend." "Feeling for your entire family." "It's a sad, terrible thing, your loss." "No way do I doubt your love for your sister." "No way." "Well, if you need someone to talk it through with..." "Thank you." "Officially, she's being held for an unlawful presence in the United States." "Unofficially... and I'll never repeat this outside this room... she's being detained for presenting an imminent threat to the security of the United States, based upon evidence that she planned to be a suicide bomber." "And what evidence would that be?" "Don't play coy with me, counselor." "The signs are all there." "We're talking about a devout Muslim young woman who at 15 years of age walks around veiled." "Who engages in internet talk focused on the duty of Jihad." "And writes openly about suicide." "Did you take a look at her bedroom?" "How austere it was?" "This isn't the life of a normal teenager." "Everything about her is a red flag." "Only when viewed through the distorted looking glass of your own paranoias." "I could joust with you all day, but here's the reality of our situation." "She's illegal." "She's removable." "And I intend to have Immigration and Customs Enforcement remove her to ensure the safety of the American people." "Just like that?" "You would uproot a 15-year-old American teenager who came to this country when she was 3 years old?" "Who doesn't speak Bangla, at least not with any fluency." "And based on the most circumstantial of evidence, you would exile her to a Third World garbage dump that to her might as well be another planet?" "That's exactly what I'm going to do, counselor." "What about the rest of the family?" "The two younger siblings are American citizens." "Yes, they're American citizens, and they're shit out of luck." "Unless..." "##" "Have you got company?" "No." "Are you looking for some?" "I'm not being funny, all right, Claire?" "But I just want to know why some INS guy would commit fraud for you." "It's not like you're famous enough" " to get that kind of visa." " All right." "No, I'm only saying." "I only know 'cause I tried." "Well, they don't call it the INS anymore." "Gavin?" "Come on." "I always thought I'd have to marry an American guy." "That's why I didn't see any point in us, you know?" "But I don't have to do that now." "I don't have to marry an American guy." "I can be with the guy that I'm into." "This changes everything for us." "You know?" "I just, uh..." "I just want to know why he's taking all that risk for you." " You know?" " Oh." "Are you paying him?" "Where'd you even get the case worker?" "Oh, baby." "No." "It..." "Don't go there, baby." "Oh, come on, Claire." "How are you paying him?" "Well..." "Come back." "No." "How are you paying him, Claire?" "How are you paying him?" "No." "No." "You are fucking kidding me." "You are fucking kidding me." "I am such a fucking idiot." "You are fuck..." "Are you serious?" "Baby, I want to be with you, baby." "You know I want to be with you." "Were you with him today?" " Please don't do this." " Were you with him today?" " Baby, please don't do this." " Just tell me." "Were you with him today?" "Was he inside of you today?" "Were you with him today?" "Oh, fuck, fuck, fuck." "How many times?" "How many times, Claire?" "I just want to know."
