We are friends. You hang with friends

rum and will get paid.

And you can do it anywhere.

You can travel and get money for it.

Do you but today the dinner.

I lie down myself, am tired.

What should I cook?

- Surprise me.

All I want?

- Clear.

The food is in the oven.

Great, thank you.

You know,

you must not do that, right?

Mostly you get a severance package.

I thought so,

Therefore I expect that from in time.

I need a few weeks to get everything

to regulate. - As much as you want.

Have you ever told Mali?

That's your job, Mom.

Where is she?

- I do not know.

She is probably old enough

to alone to take care of yourself.

It's stupid to tell her now,

when she goes to bed.

I must do that, right?

The emotional work

always stuck with me.

I beg your pardon?

Margarita took over the parental role,

because you want to save the world.

I want to set an example

be for our daughter

and not only whiten teeth.

- But that brings money!

Would you have contributed something,

Would not have come this far.

I'm wearing nothing at?

- No you do not!

You have encouraged me,

To practice medicine.

I did not think you every night

volunteer work!

There are only two nights a week!

What about your addiction?

What addiction?

- The stupid investments?

Collecting plates?

- What else should do alone in the evening?

Go for a drink with the boys?

Have an affair?

You are addicted!

After work!

You only brings us nothing!

I wanted to MSF,

But you mean,

I could change what is here!

And you, great dentist

you big earners,

wanted us to finance,

while I

medically valuable work bar.

I wanted a daughter ...

... And be with you.

This was one of them!

We wanted

spend our lives together.

Gail, we

hardly even seen.

We wanted Summer

making in Africa.

You wanted to live in Mali.

At least

our daughter a nice name.

Do you regret how everything has gone?

Do you regret it?

- It is as if we were sleepwalking.

Why hate us Mali?

- They do not hate us.

For a teenager it is quite normal.

I hate it when they call me Gail.

- I know.

I know.

Can we regulate sensibly?

Call me, I love you.

Ready to go to work?

Why we do not Nanny Party?

Do you think I am celebrating

all day parties?

Come.

The toilet seat

is full of disgusting Po bacilli.

Verrhrst you it or removing it you?

Gail and Ben do not realize that.

- Me, yes.

Hurry up, there is still a lot of work.

- You're a nanny.

You must not do anything.

That's right,

but it is still expected of me.

That's not fair.

- Is well.

Then suction the hallway.

- We do not do together?

We work alone. I want you

undistorted glimpse get.

Did not you

renew the driveway?

Oh God!

- The Social Security Number

and the medical card, that's enough

for the university, but not for traveling.

How much?

- For the best nanny in the world?

In vain.

- Carlos!

IDs for Mexicans are cheap.

You all look the same.

Thank you darling!

- You are welcome.

Mali is there, I have to clean again.

What do you do?

- Now I understand everything.

What do you understand?

- That you carest here everything.

And that has nothing

to do with your job.

I'm writing an essay

on the Misuse of nannies.

Are you bisexual?

- Carlos and I are just friends.

Be Bisexual is cool,

because you have more choice, right?

Unfortunately, I'm just gay.

Hard to believe...

Why do you prefer Jane Carlos before?

That's odd.

- You're just straight.

How your parents.

I'm not straight, but bi.

It comes as it comes...

How is it?

Well ...

I get paid for 40 hours

but working 80th

On weekends I have free,

but I'm always on call.

I have 2 weeks vacation:

at Christmas and in March ...

... with you.

Converted I get

one US dollar per hour.

And we get

the worst room.

I meant sex.

How is it?

It is time to clean the oven.

- Thank you.

But I now have enough material.

I could almost be himself Nanny.

This is my life, Mali.

I'm not Mary Poppins.

It's your choice.

You can later make what you want.

What I want, I'm not getting anyway.

That's not true.

Gail and Ben will separate.

- No, they do not.

I did yesterday

Listen to argue again.

Gail would rather have gone to Mali

to get as me.

And Ben said she could go.

Something's going on here.

It's about me.

I can not stay always Nanny.

- You will not.

We study, we are looking for cool jobs

and travel the world.

I love you

like my little sister.

But unfortunately left

the big brothers and sisters first house.

No.

- I have to go.

You can not leave me here.

- Your parents love you.

Why are they then never here?

I know it's hard.

I want,

that you're happy for me.

I have gone through the move

lost all friends.

And now you're going too!

I will not leave even the country.

We can meet anyway,

we will stay friends.

I need to get something.

- I'll come with.

You are writing about the exploitation

by nannies, my little Zapatistin.

Come in, we lie down on the couch.

Beautifully comfortable.

Come.

I've got it already.

- Convenient so?

Is only sprained,

and a mild concussion.

It could have been worse.

- Yes?

That costs us $ 3,000.

And the immigration authorities checked us

because it operates illegally!

Do not get hysterical now.

- Pull yourself together, you're to blame.

Why am I to blame?

- You fired her.

We exploit 'ne illegal immigrant.

- Are you kidding?

She gets 20,000 a year

and Guru!

Always your guilt!

- You had synonymous times.

The tax payments

they have expelled me.

Did you their salary from the taxes

deposed? - This is legal.

Not when it is operating illegally.

We are in the ass!

- Keep both up!

Savings rather for the university!

I'll probably pay off tax debts!

I throw down the school!

- That's ridiculous.

They are idiots.

No they are not.

Had they not promised

me to pay a ticket to Mexico,

I was now in prison.

That's crazy.

You can not send you away.

- Yes, they can.

And then I can never re-enter.

... not so loud.

Treasure, because of the Uni ...

You do not have to worry.

What are you talking about?

You will be shown!

Since 6 years, she does it all here!

She was your slave!

Slave?

- You gets a dollars an hour!

Hardly likely.

Mali, why

Were not you in school?

We should today

go with their parents to work.

Why did you not come?

Because you hate your jobs.

- I love my job.

How should I know that?

You're never there!

You meet decisions

the ruin my life!

You're angry, but ...

- Why did you get fired you?

She was like a sister!

- You know the yet!

Do not stay here forever!

Because they are nanny! It is

not their job to take care of you!

I go with her to Mexico.

That's ridiculous.

- I know how to work as a nanny.

You do not go to Mexico

and will certainly not Nanny!

Oh yes?

Why not?

Then you can go to Mali last!

Smells Mexican.

Sweetheart?

- What?

Look,

she leads a household book.

Ceiling Fan, gutter, color,

Kitchen tiles ... And there are still
