- You okay, down there?

- Yeah.

I'm just a clumsy oaf.

Here. Come over here.

Thank you.

I do this every time.

I have a wine in one hand...

just messy...

Hello. Hi.

I like your hair. It looks really good.

- You look good in red. I like it.

- Thank you.

- You having a good time?

- I'm having a great time.

- Good.

You have an accent.

You have an accent.

- I don't have an accent.

- Yes, you do.

I do.

I'm from England.

I'm from Spain.

We have to go.

- You okay?

- Nope.

Clams and champagne. Come on.

Um... okay, well, we have to go.

- It was nice to meet you.

- Don't forget your wine.

Um... I got to go.

I gotcha. I gotcha.

- Thank you.

- For what?

I can trust you. You're

always there for me.

Well, I held your hair back, didn't I?

- Good night.

- Night.

Oh, my God.

I feel like I drank a

bottle of paint stripper.

Who was that guy you were

talking to last night?

Which guy?

The tall, handsome one

you were drooling over.

- Oh, that guy.

- Oh, that guy.

He was cute.

Mnh. Sorry. It's all I've got.

I'll stick to my coffee.

You should have asked him out.

We should get going.

- Jack, it's jammed again.

- I'll grab the spare.

Uh... how are we lighting this?

I don't know!

- You're the lighting expert. - Michael,

the client needs to see you A.S.A.P.

Do the setup you did for the Clarent job.

- I loved that.

- Okay.

Go. Go, go.

I'm sorry, Jack.

But you said it was just a

question of me renewing my visa

and then I could apply for my green card.

After 9/11, all the rules have changed.

What exactly does that mean?

You'd have to go back to England

and start the whole process again.

No! That's impossible.

I did everything you told me to do.

Well, how long would I have to go back?

I mean, how long would

I have to be in England?

Some of my clients' cases

have been pending for years.

Years?

With a denial on your record,

it'll be almost impossible

for you to get another visa.

You could come here as a tourist.

- A tourist?

- I am so sorry.

Well, what if I was to

overstay, work under-the-table?

Jack, I know your situation.

If they find you living without papers,

they'll deport you right away.

You'd be banned from entering

the states for 10 years.

You wouldn't want to put

your family through that.

I'm not leaving, Gloria.

I shouldn't say this,

but if you have a girlfriend,

now would be a good time to marry her.

I love you, Tara.

You know that?

I know. You say it all the time.

Right.

Come on in.

- Where are you going?

- Nowhere.

I'll be right outside.

Can you leave the door open?

Of course.

- Night-night.

- Night-night.

- She go to sleep?

- Yeah.

Mya, there's something I have to tell you.
