A bit tough on Ruby,

don't you think?

It's because she's so talented.

Ah, interesting technique.

Well, don't you have

thirty two fortes

to unleash on your next class?

Hey, Neal,

it's Johnnie Blackwell here.

I've left you a ton of messages and I

haven't heard anything back from you.

Got my cash, and I really

need that Green Card.

Call me, please.

Hey, whoa, what are you doing?

- Going to see my lawyer. -You've

got to sign in here first.

Who do you want to see?

Neil Tamlen.

From Tamlen

and Ginsburg Law Firm.

No, you got the wrong

building, buddy.

I don't think so.

That's our address,

but, there's never been a Ginsburg

and Tamlen on this building.

At least not for the last

15 years I've worked here.

That's impossible.

It's an immigration law firm,

I've been Neil's client

for the last 3 months.

You've been up to this guy's

office in this building?

No, I always met him

outside the office.

Sorry, kid.

Card's a fake.

Fat free, sugar, carbs.

Fat free.

Fat free.

Oh, but there's chocolate

with peanut butter!

Are you going to buy something

or you just talk to the machine?

Oh, I'm sorry, go ahead.

Thank you.

Fat free!

Always.

- Hey, pretty girl.

- Hey, Kyle.

There you go.

One loaner violin bow.

You break it, you buy it.

It's the best you've got?

Hey, Ruby, right?

- Yeah.

- How's first week going?

Good! Well,

challenging, actually.

Yeah, mine too.

I, uh...

broke my bow playing Bartok.

Ooh, sounds painful.

Yeah, it is, I've to

use this lame loaner

till I can get

to the music store.

- They loan instruments here?

- Yeah.

Hey, I'm off to practice,

but I'll, uh...

- see you around?

- Okay, yeah, bye.

Hi.

Yes?

Can I borrow

that violin, please?

This is a viola.

I meant the other violin.

- To the...

- To the right.

Okay.

- Are you a student here?

- Yes, sir, I am.

Can I see some ID, please?

I have it right here.

Okay.

One violin.

Need a bow, too?

Oh, yes, please.

So, are you

entering the competition?

What competition?

That competition.

There you go.

Hey, Simon.

- How's London? -What do you think?

It's cold and it's wet.

Where's my rent money?

I'm sorry it's late.

You know, I had an unexpected

setback, but um...

I'm working on it.

Oh, you better work quickly

or you're out on the street.

Listen, Johnnie,

I'm not messing around here.

- You hearing me?

- I hear you.

Hey, what's going on, baby?

Hey.

Hi.

Oh, I love your place.

Yeah, thanks.

- It's not mine.

- You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

What's that?

It's a loaner violin

from my school.

Crazy idea.

You can enter into this contest

for the Peterson Foundation.

Winner gets $25,000.

So, you could buy a new violin.
