of our relationship

since we first met,

- that, um... that I produced each year.

- Uh-huh.

Let's see.

What are these tickets from?

We both really like Paul Simon.

And one of our first dates,

when we'd met,

we went to see him in concert.

- When was that, Jacob?

[Jacob] Uh, two months after we met.

- Mm-hm. How was the concert?

[Jacob] It was great.

[woman] Yeah.

- He's great live.

[laughs] Yeah.

- And here's your marriage certificate.

I know you got

married here in London

- just a few months ago, yes?

[Anna] Yes.

Well, I want to tell you

that I don't doubt the authenticity

of your relationship. However, what is

at issue... I see here...

four, is it, appeals.

These are the official documents dealing

with the violation of the student visa.

And this imposed a ban.

And that, unfortunately is the...

comes down to the reason

that I can't process your application

for marriage visa, nor lift the ban.

It has to come from

the student visa office.

Yeah, but we've already applied several

times throughout the last couple years,

as you can see. So I don't know how

many times you expect us to do it.

I mean, I don't know how...

We were told...

I was told by my lawyer

that this would be dealt

with separately

from the visa violation,

which is why we're here.

- We've appealed four times.

[woman] He was misinformed.

- That is what is in the way.

- This is a separate situation.

Then I want to know who he spoke to,

because we speak to someone different

- every single time.

[Anna] Should there not be one person

who's dealing

with our particular application?

[woman] I wish I could

process this right now,

but it is not up to me,

and I will handle it as soon

as I get a lift on the ban.

I'm sorry.

[people chattering]

[live band playing]

[chattering continues]

[Anna] Where did you go?

- Where did you go?

- Why did you just walk off?

I didn't. I went to look at something,

and then I turned around

and you were gone.

- You should have just said.

- Whatever. What do you want to do?

- I don't know. I'm really tired.

- Yeah, so am I.

So do you want to go or what?

Or do you want

to get something to eat?

Sure.

- I'm not really that hungry any more.

- Well, we don't have to.

Do you want to eat?

What does that mean?

Do you want to eat?

[car alarm blares]

[children shouting]

So is it worth talking about

you moving to London...

again?

[Jacob] Maybe.

I mean...

you could design furniture here.

Yeah. Absolutely.

Uh...

It would be difficult, but yeah.

- Who are you texting?

[Jacob] Just work.

An order.

[toilet flushes]

[Anna] So you're very close

to your work colleagues.

Well... what does that mean?

[Anna] Why didn't you tell me

that there was still something

between you and her?

- Why are you reading my phone?

- I didn't go through your phone.

I walked over there

and your messages are out.

- It's not that hard to...

- My messages were out?

Yeah. I could see them. It's not...

You don't have to be Einstein.

Just tell me what's happening

with you and her.

- There is nothing happening.

- Why didn't you just tell me, Jacob?

I told you.

There's nothing happening.

You're obviously involved in

something with this person.

I am not involved in anything.

You're not involved in anything

with this person?

There's nothing

between you whatsoever?

- Absolutely not.

- That's a lie.

Please don't go through my phone.

It's just going to make you paranoid.

Why didn't you tell me

that it was still...

There was still, like,

a thing between you and her?

- There is no thing between me and her!

- There obviously is a thing

- between you and her. There is!

- No, there is no thing!

- I just read your text message!

- She works with me!

- You shouldn't read my messages!

- Don't shout. Don't shout.

- You shouldn't read my text messages.

- Why did you just shout at me?

- I'm sorry that I shouted.

- Don't raise your voice at me.

People are gonna come around

if you keep shouting.

Oh, my God.

It's really important

if people come around.

Who's gonna come around? Simon?

Did you sleep with him?

- Did you? Tell me.

- Don't touch me.

- Jacob, don't touch me!

- Did you sleep with him, yes or no?!

- Did you?

- Jacob, don't.

"Jacob, don't" what?! Did you,

yes or no? It's very simple.

Very simple question,

very simple answer, yes or no. Did you?

I'm not answering your questions.

Why can't you look at me and tell me?

- Look at me and tell me!

- Don't shout!

- I'll shout if I want to shout.

- No, you won't shout in my house.

All right then!

I'll go back to my house!

- Yeah.

- I'd love to go back to my house!

- I'd go right now if I could!

- Why are you shouting at me?!

I don't understand why

you can say things like that!

- Don't shout!

- Yes, I'd rather f***ing be there!

[soft piano music]

Hi, baby.

- Is this mine?

- Uh-huh.

Thank you very much.

[man] Have a good day.

- Thank you very much.

Great.

[Jacob] Who said I was

terrified of heights?

- It was just that one time. One time.

- I've seen you on a Ferris wheel.

That Ferris wheel was shaking

in a way that Ferris

wheels aren't supposed to shake.

[Anna] Did you want to see me?

- Yes.

I wanted to know how my new

junior editor was doing.

[laughing]

- Yes-

[Anna] Oh, wow!

- Congratulations.

- Oh, thank you.

[Anna shouts] Thank you!

- Oh, I'm deaf.

- I shouted in your ear.

- Yes.

- Hello.

[Simon] Hello.

- How are you? [chuckles]

- I'm all right.

- What are you laughing at?

- Nothing.

- What's so funny'?

- Just, um...

I just got a little... job promotion.

- Are you serious?

- Yeah.

- About time!

- Yes!

[both laugh]

- Well done, darling.

- Mm.

Whoo!

Well... good for you.

You stuck it out.

- Thank you.

- I'm proud of you.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

- About time.

- Yeah.

- You tell Mum and Dad yet?

- No, I haven't, actually.

- I'll give them a call later.

- Bring them around.

Yeah, we'll have a dinner.

Patience... always pays off.

[giggles]

[both laughing]

[both breathing heavily]

[moans]

[both breathing heavily]

[Anna moans]

I lost my bracelet.

Where's my bracelet?

[Simon] It's there.

Here, here, here.

Oh, sh*t.

It's broken.

- You all right?

- Yeah.

- Hey.

- Hi.

[phone vibrates]

- You must be really starved?

- Yeah.

What you doing?

Just work stuff.

- Ready'?

- Yeah.

Yeah.

- Are you done?

- You sure?

Yeah, yeah. I'm ready to go.

I've got my shoes on and everything.

I'd better just get my coat.

OK. Do you want me

to meet you downstairs?

Yeah, I'll meet you down there.

Give me two seconds.

Hi.

[Samantha] Your breakfast.

- Oh, man.

- How long have you been up?

- An hour and a half.

Thank you. Even though I know

I don't get to eat the bacon.

[laughs] I don't share bacon.

Mm.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

[soft piano music]

[Henry] So I've actually got

the approval letter in my hand

and I spoke with the embassy today,

and everything is sorted.
