I've included all the

proof of income statements.

It's there.

And Mrs. Singh...

...thank you...

For everything.

You too.

Marva...

You come to the party?

Sh*t! I forget mi pass card.

Come on, girl.

Manana means tomorrow but...

Pajama means tonight.

Colin...

That actually works for you?

We can find out now.

Then I'll say manana.

You have to try it

before you buy it, baby.

Alright.

Marva!

I was just lookin' for my ID card...

She hear everything, man!

Go on...

Settle down. Whatagwan?

Just go on!

Eh, me just want to talk.

It's not what you think.

Sidney, there's only

one way this can end.

Don't worry 'bout that now, Marva.

In f***.

You have better tings for

you t'worry about. Don't it?

What I was trying to...

Ah! Come on now, Marva.

I have a secret.

And you have a secret too.

Not true?

Ahh.

Mi still call Dr. Abraham.

I know a better way you can fix me.

Everting is a joke, right?

You are definitely not a joke.

Cherry...

Constance...

Whoa, wait, wait, wait, wait...

Hold.

Wait.

Ow, ow...

Breathe.

Breathe.

and I love you still

I will follow you,

For many moons,...

You're beautiful.

Will you carry me?

Yes.

Miss Johnson.

This is a surprise.

I need to talk to you about

something, Miss Parker.

And I want to talk to you.

You see we've been discreetly

investigating our staff.

...for some time now.

There's been a series of thefts

these past couple of months.

Cash taken out of guest's rooms.

No. I have nothing to

do with that Miss Parker.

And in fact...

In fact, the police faxed

me your file this morning.

We have a zero tolerance

policy against hiring deportees.

Please return your pass card

to me, along with your uniform.

Yes?

You're in this.

With Sydney, aren't you?

I tink you had better leave.

...before you make tings

worse for yourself!

I've been through a lot

in these past three years...

...but you know the one

thing that I've learned?

Is how to spot a liar.

I'm calling security...

Good. You should call them...

...and you should call the

police while you're at it.

Because I'm sure they'd

be very interested.

...in what I have to say.

Look...

Perhaps, I've been hasty...

I'm here to look for my son!

I don't have time to waste!

That's fine.

I'll be waiting in

the front lounge area.

Real estate agent...

Obviously doesn't have a watch.

Who needs a watch in paradise?

I definitely say you need a vacation.

Hmm. I suppose.

I couldn't help overhearing,

you're buying property?

Yeah, in Ochi.

Ochi Rios...

How nice for you.

It's really for my son.

Lucky guy...

I wish somebody would

buy me a house down here.

Are you alright?

Um...

Yeah, um...

Thank you.
