[Ric and marianna laugh]

Marianna: I can't believe how priceless this piece of paper is.

Ric: Yes, you are now free from deportation. You have an application for a green card, and you have a work permit.

Marianna: Thanks to you.

Ric: Oh, no.

Marianna: Hmm. And all because I knew how to make a good cup of coffee.

Ric: Well, hardly.

[Marianna chuckles]

Ric: So --

Marianna: So -- what happens now?

------------------------------

Marianna: I would've made coffee had I known you wanted it.

Ric: I know that. That's why I didn't tell you that I wanted it.

Marianna: Thank you.

Ric: What are you doing?

Marianna: I was just looking --

Ric: No, no, no, no, no, no.

Marianna: For a job and a furnished room to rent.

Ric: There's no rush for you to do anything.

Marianna: Well, I think there is. If I stay here, people are going to get the wrong idea.

Ric: Oh, really? And what would that be? Friends trying to help out another friend?

Marianna: No, I told you, people talk. And there were those in martha's vineyard who suspected randy abused me and thought I deserved what I got because I used him to come to america, and --

Ric: Yeah, but you didn'T.

Marianna: You only have my word for everything.

Ric: Well, that's all I need, ok? I believe you. You got no reason to lie to me. Hey, listen, I went to martha's vineyard to find myself, ok? And while I was there, I was able to -- to get rid of some demons. I think it's about time you do the same. Hmm? Nobody's going to hurt you ever again. Ok?

Marianna: Ok.

---------------------------------------

Marianna: Hmm.

Ric: I want to take you somewhere tomorrow.

Marianna: Hmm. We just came from somewhere.

Ric: No, no, no. This is downtown. You know that deed that my father wants to get his hands on so badly?

Marianna: The waterfront properties?

Ric: Mm-hmm, yeah. I want to take you to see it.

Marianna: Why?

Ric: You got a good sense about things.

Marianna: Huh -- except where my life is concerned.

Ric: Well, you had the good sense to be nice to me, right?

Marianna: Oh, that is awful.

Ric: What?

[Marianna chuckles]

Marianna: Makes me sound so calculating.

Ric: Oh -- well, you're not and you know that I know that, so calm down.

Marianna: Oh.

Ric: I'm sorry.

Marianna: No, I just -- I can't help it. It's my mom, she had nothing and she just -- she still had so much happiness in her. She always warned me "never want more than you can hold in your arms or someday you'll just have to leave it behind."

Ric: Oh. Well, I think that's good and bad advice. See, I want everything for molly.

Marianna: Well, no one could have everything. Hey, I mean, if someone did then -- then there wouldn't be anything to wish for or -- or to dream about.

Ric: What do you want? Hmm?

Marianna: I want to be free.

Ric: Oh, well, you're well on your way.

Marianna: And what do you want?

Ric: Well, we both have a lot of things that we got to think about here. And for right now, I want what I can hold in my arms.

[Marianna sighs]
