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.

It's no different from photoshopping

your Social Security card

to remove the "Not

for Employment" stamp.

Or passing yourself off

as a religious Jew

when you're an atheist,

like, an actual atheist.

- Come home with me.

- What?

I'm serious. Come home with me.

It's not practical. You know that.

You know we can't make a go

of it without status.

I've gotta get legal, and so do you.

You've got to get legal.

You know that.

I'm working on that, all right?

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 b*tch.

F***. It's a brand-new f***ing car.

Sorry, didn't l...

I didn't have time to stop.

You just shot out like that.
