- Let me see.

- It's OK. It's fine.

- Let me see.

There's nothing to see!

I just hit it.

- I caught it in there.

[kisses finger]

That feel better?

[engine rewing outside]

[bell tolling]

[Jacob] So, uh...

What are you doing on Catalina?

You look like a fisherman.

Are you a fisherman?

No?

Do you fish?

I love to fish.

I'm just trying to read, Jacob.

Mm. That's fine.

Fine with me.

It's a fine island.

It's a fine island for reading.

That's my yacht, The Ahi.

Yeah, I like tuna.

I like tuna a lot.

I like tuna enough

to name my boat The Ahi.

I saved a cat from a tree once.

[Soft music]

I love you.

I'm sorry.

It's OK.

You have nothing

to be sorry for.

In 24 hours, I will be home...

with my parents.

I wish I could come with you.

- It would be fun.

- Yeah.

Well... my parents could always...

- No.

- ...help out.

It's fine. In two and a half months,

you'll be back.

Yeah, I know, I know, I know.

I was just thinking...

as an option.

But it will go so quickly, actually,

that we won't even notice it.

- We won't even notice.

[chuckles] No.

[both laugh]

Ooh.

It's so nice.

Thank you.

[soft piano music]

[music continues]

[soft groan]

Jacob.

I've made a decision.

I'm gonna stay.

I'm gonna stay for the summer.

And I'll just go back for the wedding

and come back after that.

As much as I'd like that,

you can't do that.

- Why?

- Your visa.

I can't go back.

Then we don't have to be sad.

And we have so much fun.

And nothing to do. And we

can stay in bed all summer.

- OK.

[laughs]

Oh, man. OK.

OK.

[The Mary Onettes: "Century"]

[airplane approaching]

[cell phone beeps]

[man over P.A.] Attention, Los Angeles

International Airport travelers.

The TSA has limited the items

that may be carried through

the screening checkpoints.

Please state your reason

for entering the country.

- I'm going to be on holiday.

- OK.

- And where will you be staying?

- In Santa Monica.

[typing]

It appears you violated your prior visa.

Were you aware of that?

Um, but I'm traveling

as a tourist... this time.

Wait right here, please.

[The Mary Onettes: "Century"]

[cell phone rings]

- Hello?

[Anna] Hey, it's me.

Anna, what's the matter?

I gave her my passport and

she was asking about the visa.

- They said what?

- I'm not gonna be able to come through.

- Where are you right now?

- I've not even gone through.

I haven't even gone past passport...

customs yet.

- OK, baby, listen. I'm gonna talk...

- I told them you were coming,

and they said no, it has to be reviewed

when I'm back in England.

I was like, "Can I just come through...

through for... just for this trip?"

And she was like, "No,"
