- for the whole summer, so...

- How's he doing?

He's good.

He's just in the shower.

He's got his website up and running,

so he's pleased about that.

Darling, I know

you're going to miss him.

Yeah, I just wish I could

stay a bit longer, that's all.

Anna, darling, Dad told you what the

lawyer said about overstaying the visa.

This is important.

You know that.

Yeah, I know.

Those are the rules.

We'll get things sorted

over the summer.

Then you can go back to LA

after Sarah's wedding.

Yeah, I know. So, um...

I'll see you tomorrow, Mum.

I'd better get going.

Yeah, we can't wait.

We can't wait!

Yeah. Bye, Mum.

Are they excited

that you're coming back?

[Anna] Yeah, they can't wait.

My mum is very excited.

Mm. I'm glad that we're

getting away for a...

for a night.

But we'll come back here

on the way back,

- before I go to the airport?

- Yeah.

- What time is the boat?

- 10:
30.

- We haven't got that much time.

- Don't worry. It's OK.

I'm not worried.

[soft piano music]

[Jacob] Wow.

Ow!

- What happened? You OK?

- Ow! Yeah.

- I just caught my finger.

- 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,"

because of the violation.

[stammering] I'm gonna find somebody

and I'll come get you, OK?

- OK, somebody's coming.

- I'm gonna talk to...

- I have to go now.

- I'll see you soon, OK?

I promise I'll see you soon.

[soft piano music]

Do you know where customs is?

- Customs?

- Over there.

All right, thank you.

- You have no idea?

- No, I'm sorry, sir.

So this is what's gonna happen. You will

not be allowed to leave the airport.

Two agents from Homeland Security are

gonna come in here after I leave.

You'll be placed back on the plane

immediately and returned to the UK.

Do you understand?

Do you have any questions?

[on phone] Hi, Jacob. It's Anna. I'm

sorry I missed your call again, uh...

It's been pretty busy here.

Are you around

at about five today?

So, five, um...

eight for you...

9:
OO... 9am for you.

I can't believe I missed you again.

Let's try for later today,

- and if not, then hopefully on Monday.

[Jacob] Uh...

[Jacob] Look, I'm gonna head to bed.

Maybe we can try tomorrow.

I know you said you had a thing for

the magazine, but, uh, I'm just, um...

I'm, like, really exhausted

and I have to get up early for work.

So why don't you just send me

an email and let me know, um...

let me know

when it's good for you to talk.

OK, I'll talk to you soon. Bye.

[telephone ringing]

Have you looked at those paginations?

I need you to approve them.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Which pages don't you like?

I'm working with these...

these guys that I've worked with before.

- And, uh...

- Yeah. These.

They're looking for

a bedroom set for their...

They have a two-year-old

and a nine-month-old.

- Can we pull this out?

- Anything you want.

This is fantastic.

Let me see this.

- This is similar.

- This is, this is... yeah.

- Is this home, too?

- Yeah, right up there's home.

- That's great.

- Yeah.

When does he want delivery?

First week of June.

So I'd say we could push it

probably to the tenth of June.

- OK.

- He doesn't need it right away.

He's just getting into

the whole sort of redesign.

Then are you going

to the UK after that?

No.

- You're not? No?

- No, no, no. No, no, no.

We sort of, a couple months ago,

we agreed not to...

You guys can just be

like friends, you know?

Yeah.

- Thanks, man. Yep.

- All right. I'll see you later.

- There she is!

- Hey!

How are you GUYS?

- You took so long!

- I know.

Whenever I'm going out the door,

she gives me four more things to do.

- Can I get a whiskey and ginger?

- Whiskey and ginger?

Yeah, and no ice.

Thanks.

[Pop music]

- I know, but it's so hard.

[man] Just save up some money and go.

Once you're in your job,

it's just impossible.

[woman] Let's do a shot!

[man] Let's do shots.

- Tequila shots?

- Oh, God.

[woman] Cheers!

[Anna] Cheers!

[man] Down in one.

[groans]

Bolivia was two months, maybe.

But I was traveling all around.

Going around the little islands

around South America.

Yeah, it was intense.

Have you traveled?

Yeah, I spent some time in America.

- Where?

- When I was studying.

- Oh, yeah? Where about?

- I went to college in LA.

- Oh, yeah?

- So, um...

- Yeah, I made some...

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
