As a perfect wife.

Well, well.

I can do that too.

Ben, it grinds!

Good, then I'll give up to yogurt.

Is that enough, yes?

I might miss one year

and still be ahead. - What?

I skipped math one year.

I've been waiting for you.

I love you.

I'll pick you up tomorrow.

We can fix that.

- No.

That will not do.

I love you too.

But not in this way.

Are you still clean the filter?

Did I ever will

No, because Margarita

Saves costs.

But instead of saying thank you,

Fire them.

Stupid Gringos.

I clean the pool

until you're better.

They can not even chemicals

mix! I'll do it for you!

Not for you!

Hi, Carlos.

- Jane.

You're crazy,

if you let it go.

Want to go to the movies today evening?

They will be shown.

send to Mexico.

What happened?

- A car accident.

With the wheel. We did not know

that she has no work permit.

You are not

the immigration program for nannies?

No.

Why not?

My cousin took me as a tourist

here to look for work.

I could hardly speak English.

I knew nothing of this program

and my visa was already covered.

I was 18th

- You were 18 when we set up?

You said you're 24th

- Now that you're 24?

Otherwise you would not set myself.

Why did not you say anything?

You never asked.

- Yes, out of consideration.

The memory of your family,

your past ...

Did not you trust me?

Wholeheartedly, when I asked you,

to marry me.

Did you ask me about the papers?

So I did not mean,

I'm sorry.

That does not matter anymore.

I'm going back to Mexico.

You must not go back again.

She has nothing there.

- You do not know that.

Why is she here?

A method

we can not afford.

We are not married.

- No.

Because you marriage

to "hetero-sexist" was.

Because you wanted to stay out of the church.

Because you every day

decide freely wanted.

Do you want to get married?

- Ben, you need to marry Margarita!

What?

Then she can stay!

- I am 30 years older than her!

And a hairy man!

- That's only means to an end.

The authorities do not know

that she is a lesbian.

You think you're an old sack,

exploits a poor Nanny.

And my reputation?

- What!

You make teeth white again!

Caution! Since there may be current plan.

Hello!

What are you doing?

The engine has blown.

- He has exploded.

That...

- All right, we fix it.

Gail thinks we should get married,

so you can stay.

Two women, which is illegal.

You are not married.

- We are living in concubinage.

We must

not even divorced.

Drawing by the screw.

It would be a commercial contract.

You stay in Canada and you live here.

- Healed for me again?

Without you, we're screwed.

So ... How do you fix

a blown engine?

The neighbors

have thrown away a blender.

I've since installed the engine.

- Do you have their garbage searches?

Want to still get married?

- Yes, we want to!

We?

Yes.

That's very generous.

I can not accept it.

I have headache.

Why do not they marry you?

She is in a desperate situation.

Thank you.

You've seen them.

You like it, right?

- You're scaring me.

Can we even talk about something else?

She's smart, funny ...

... and pretty.

Have you not noticed?

Yes, sometimes.

- You idiot!

What?

You've told it!

It has evolved into a goddess.

Goddess?

You said she's smart and sexy!

Mir remained our Mexican Venus

also not gone unnoticed.

Gail, you're not a lesbian.

Who knows,

if you do not try?

Same-sex marriages are legal.

I marry her.

Then she is my wife

and my husband,

I never had.

The wedding I do not pay.

Gail!

- No thing!

I keep seeing naked bodies.

And I examine more vaginas,

than I would like.

It's a shame, but ...

You're here for 6 years and I know

nothing about your life in Mexico.

How are your parents died?

- Motorcycle accident.

How old were you?

- Does it matter?

I was eight.

My grandmother took care of me.

She was sick,

could no longer work.

I had no money to help her,

So I came here.

And she died, right?

- Last year.

And you said,

you do not want back.

But actually it was because of the visa.

I did not even have given you freely.

Now I go back.

- No Please.

To marry Ben's funny,

for you as a lesbian.

It may sound

even crazier ...

It would be more credible if we say,

we would love us.

What?

- Who would pretend to be a lesbian,

only to help someone,

to stay in the country?

We say we have an affair.

And our secret meetings

Ben has caught us.

I should lie? - I say,

I can not live without you.

That's true! And when you

want to expel you anyway,

I threaten to kill me.

The risked none.

There are too few doctors in Canada.

So?

At the registry office!

- What for?

We are going to marry!

Margarita!

Say "yes" or not explain to me why.

The water will be colder.

- This is torture.

I want to marry only for love.

You're so young.

We want to find a way

so you can stay here.

We all love you, Ben, and I Mali.

Your family is here.

- Thank you...

Think of it as a contract,
