00:01What about you? You're awfully quiet over there.
00:05I'm compassionate, I'm hard-working, and I'm lit.
00:19You should just marry her. She'd marry you in a second, you get papers, and then you'd be good.
00:24Everyone knows what fake marriage is like. Immigration, they grill you until you slip up.
00:28What kind of lotion does she wear? What's it smell like?
00:30Musa, you're her boyfriend.
00:32But you know what she smells like?
00:34I'm not gonna lie to you, this is not gonna be easy.
00:37And each of your cases is obviously, you know, very different.
00:41Political asylum isn't the only way to go, but it's my understanding it's best for, you know, young people like you.
00:50What material have you found so far?
00:52Just the stuff that you know already.
00:53And does Isaac think that's enough?
00:55I don't know. I hope so.
00:56You need to find him when he's asking for.
00:58There's no guarantee here.
01:02What your family is doing to you is not right.
01:05It's called neglect.
01:06This is neglect.
01:11And I'm pretty sure it's something else too, isn't it?
01:16We can't talk about these things at school anymore.
01:18Why didn't you tell me?
01:19I'm so sorry.
01:20Don't do this.
01:21This.
01:24You think you're an American?
01:27Well, you're nuts.
01:30And they will never let you be.
01:33What, Tiffany?
01:34Did I say something to you?
01:35Stop.
01:36Stop.
01:37Don't run.
01:38Let me see some IDs.
01:39We didn't do anything.
01:40Your parents saw your hair?
01:41How could I think I had anything to teach these kids about reality?
01:51Can't!
01:52If you had anything to teach,
01:53yeah I don't really work with these two animals.
01:54Can't actually teach these kids about reality.
