California Solo Page #4
No.
Is this the one
you played when...
Mm-hmm.
Will you play me something?
No.
It's the best way to
impress a girl, you know.
I've been known to
use that tactic in my day.
Yeah, I'm sure.
You aren't
gonna give up, are ya?
Mm-mm.
Oh, f*** it...
Any requests?
No, you can choose.
My choice.
Well...
I did have a solo
album once the band broke up.
- It was called...
- I know.
I Googled you last week.
- "California Solo".
- Ooh...
You Googled me, did you?
- Mm-hmm, guilty.
- Oh, my God.
Where has all
the mystery gone, Beau?
You know, I remember the days
when people used to speak
to each other.
Old fashioned.
Okay.
# You know that good times #
# Are so hard to fi... #
I forget the words.
# But all your
yesterdays shine #
# But the dreams come rains
come tomorrow #
# I'm such a long, long way
from what I used to call home #
# And I know so much better
# I guess you and me were
just passing the time #
# And though I may be leaving #
# I'm still glad
# You were once mine
# And my heart's
filled with sorrow #
# Your tears and my pride
# they're both so hard
to swallow #
# And I love the way
that it starts come what may #
# But I hate the way it
all ends in disarray #
# And when I found out you
took back your sweet hand #
# Ah, but that's okay, babe,
# My beautiful lamb
# So as the teardrops fall #
# do I have to beg
# And when did
yesterday's sun #
# Turn into
raindrops tomorrow #
# I'm guessing that
we were just passing the time #
# But I'll always carry
you with me #
# in the back of my mind
# I've drunk all your wine
when I've been alone #
# Oh
# California I'm solo
but you lead me #
# Lead me home
Wow.
It's been a while.
That was beautiful.
Yeah?
Hey.
Listen, you sleep in the bed,
Oh, we can share the bed.
I mean, we're
both grown-ups.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're absolutely right.
Um...
just so you know...
nothing is going to
happen tonight.
No.
God, of course not, no.
Right.
Long day.
I'm drunk.
What do you think?
Underdeveloped.
Yeah.
But, by how much?
Couple of days, maybe a week.
I don't know.
Yeah, see.
Sh*t, I need to take this.
Yeah, Mister Domenico.
Okay.
And what is it?
Probation?
I'll have to go to court.
Okay.
All right, cheers.
Bye-bye.
Well, well.
Are you gonna keep us
in suspense?
No.
I got the plea bargain.
I'm not gonna get deported.
Then I guess we're
stuck with ya.
Unfortunately, for you.
Even more unfortunate
for you, my friend.
Lachlan Mac...
MacAldonich.
It's Lachlan MacAldonich.
Tough name to say.
Never take the easy road.
- I'm Carol Brody...
- Hi, Carol.
...your probation officer.
- Right this way.
- Sure.
I'm with Immigration
and Customs Enforcement,
I need you to come with
me, please, sir.
Oh, whoa, whoa,
whoa, what's this?
We'll explain everything.
Miss Brody?
ICE put a hold on you.
You have to go with them.
So, what is this...
So, is this a trap, yeah?
It's standard procedure, sir.
Well, you haven't even read
me my rights yet.
Because you're not
being arrested,
you're just being detained,
Mister McDonald.
Okay, name.
Lachlan MacAldonich.
Date of birth.
First of April, 1969.
All right.
Place of birth.
It's Kilmarnock in
Scotland, in the UK.
K-I-L-M-A-R-N-O-C-K.
Marital status.
Divorced.
Any children?
Yeah, a daughter.
Her age?
Thirteen, I think.
Occupation.
Agricultural worker.
All right,
Mister MacAldonich...
do you know why you've
been detained?
I haven't got a f***ing clue.
Well, your case was
referred to this division
after your conviction
on a DUI...
To initiate
removal proceedings.
Sir, this is a f***ing joke.
But I've already sorted
all this out with my lawyer.
Wanna watch your language,
please, Sir?
Now this is
your notice to appear.
check with your lawyers for
the exact date.
A judge... I'm sorry, I... I
don't want this.
This is a...
This is a f***ing mistake.
Those are your charging
papers for immigration court,
so you're gonna need those.
Yeah, but man, it's a mistake.
Not my problem, sir.
Okay, can I go now, please?
No, you can't.
You have a bond posted
for $10,000.
I thought you said that I
hadn't been arrested.
It's not bail, it's a bond.
Now if you need,
we have a list
of local bail bondsman
who will post bonds for
immigration removal cases.
I recommend you call
one of them.
Do you mind if I
make a phone call from here?
Yeah, go ahead.
Let me call my lawyers.
Tear 'em a new a**hole.
Well, well I thought we
took this plea deal
Well, it's not
an exact science.
You make a judgment
based on case law...
Well, well nobody told me
when I was signing up for this
that you were f***ing guessing!
All right, calm down...
No, don't tell me to
calm down, Mister Piper.
Don't tell me
to calm down, mate.
I took your sound legal advice.
I paid for your
sound legal advice,
and you've stuck me in
a raft and sold me
right up the f***ing river.
You still have a decent...
We are there.
We're here right f***ing now!
Look at us!
We are doing our
best to try and figure out...
Don't do your f***ing best!
You go fix this!
You will fix this or
you're gonna understand
why I was kicked out of
every f***ing club in the UK!
Do you get that?
I will not go back there!
I will f***ing not
go back there!
Okay... Okay.
Well uh, do you have
someone to post your bond?
I tell you what.
You post my bond, friend-o.
I'm sorry,
that's against firm policy.
I got all these Mexicans
working on my farm,
and it's the Scottish guy that
gets into sh*t with immigration.
Warren, I'm sorry, man...
I'll pay you back.
Yeah, how you gonna do that?
Is your boss planning
on giving you a raise?
Yeah, hello?
Hey, it's David Piper.
You got a sec?
Look, uh, I found out a little
bit more about your situation.
Turns out it was
that old drug arrest.
Three ounces of marijuana found
on your person.
It turns out they could've
deported you at any point
in the last fifteen years.
Then why didn't they?
Well, no one was
paying any attention.
Basically, we got two options.
Um, first one, you accept
the removal ruling,
you go back home,
and you never come back.
Oh, please, please don't
tell me I have to pack my bags.
- Come on.
- No, no, not necessarily.
It's something we call
extreme hardship.
prove that your removal
from the country would
cause extreme hardship
to a US citizen.
It's the only viable
choice we've got here.
Anyone you can think of?
I don't believe
there's anyone who gives a toss
whether I'm here or not.
Now that was The Cranks.
First track from the album
"Back Street Waltz".
I haven't listened to
this for many years, my friends,
