- We're not that open. We are not.

- We are!

We talk... You may not be open,

but Anna and I are.

We talk about everything. I'm sorry.

I have to tell you this right now.

So don't be embarrassed.

You are being grown up?

- You are being adults?

[laughs]

[Bernard] You do not have to answer.

[Anna] Yes.

Thank you. That's all I needed

to know. That's perfect.

Jacob, do you like whiskey?

Just to change the subject completely.

- That is a very good idea.

- I'm learning. Anna's been teaching me.

She's an expert. Of course,

she learned from the master.

What's your favorite

that we've tried?

- La... Laphroaig.

[Bernard] Laphroaig!

- I love Laphroaig. It's my favorite.

- She does.

- It's great.

[Bernard] That's very sophisticated.

- Drive safe. Bye-bye.

- Bye-bye.

Bye.

[Jacob] OK. Close your eyes.

[Anna] Why?

Because. Close your eyes.

[laughs]

- Close your eyes.

Close them. Count to 60.

Fifty-eight Mississippi,

I can open them now?

I can sense you've

brought something.

Thank you. Thank you.

- It's my chair.

- Mmmm.

Look underneath.

It's your first one.

I love you...

like crazy.

[whispering] What are we going

to do after we graduate?

We... We'll sort something out.

Don't think about it now.

I'll come back

and I'll get a work visa.

I hate thinking about it.

I'm not gonna leave.

- Promise.

- OK.

Yeah. Yeah.

[mother] Sweetheart, you all packed?

[Anna] Yeah, pretty much.

I just can't believe it's tomorrow.

The time's gone so quickly.

You certainly left it

to the last minute.

Well, it's difficult,

because I won't see Jacob

- for the whole summer, so...

- How's he doing?

He's good.

He's just in the shower.

He's got his website up and running,

so he's pleased about that.

Darling, I know

you're going to miss him.

Yeah, I just wish I could

stay a bit longer, that's all.

Anna, darling, Dad told you what the

lawyer said about overstaying the visa.

This is important.

You know that.

Yeah, I know.

Those are the rules.

We'll get things sorted

over the summer.

Then you can go back to LA

after Sarah's wedding.

Yeah, I know. So, um...

I'll see you tomorrow, Mum.

I'd better get going.

Yeah, we can't wait.

We can't wait!

Yeah. Bye, Mum.

Are they excited

that you're coming back?

[Anna] Yeah, they can't wait.

My mum is very excited.

Mm. I'm glad that we're

getting away for a...

for a night.

But we'll come back here

on the way back,

- before I go to the airport?

- Yeah.

- What time is the boat?

- 10:
30.

- We haven't got that much time.

- Don't worry. It's OK.

I'm not worried.

[soft piano music]

[Jacob] Wow.

Ow!

- What happened? You OK?

- Ow! Yeah.

- I just caught my finger.
