[talking with Nadi] Kathy: I grew up in this house. It's the house that my father left to me and my brother when he died. The county evicted me from this house by mistake and your husband bought it and now, he won't sell it back for less than four times what he paid. Now, I don't want to argue with him. You know, I really don't. It's just that if this goes to court, it could take... Nadi: [interrupting] They want to deport us? Kathy: I don't know. Nadi: You must see... they will kill us. They will shoot my childen. [breaks down and crys] Kathy: [comforting her] Hey, hey. You don't understand a word I'm saying, do you? Nadi: Please, you are a very nice girl. [grabs a notepad and pen] Nadi: Please, you write for me everything. I want for to understand for discussing with my husband. OK? Kathy: OK.

Esmail: Why did that man say we would be deported? Behrani: I do not know. But we are American citizens. We own this house. They can do nothing to us now. Esmail: I feel bad for that lady, bawbaw-jahn. Behrani: The woman's house was taken from her because she did not pay her taxes. That happens when one is not responsible. Esmail: [interjects in Persian] Behrani: Do you understand? Do not feel bad. Americans they do not deserve what they have. They have the eyes of small children who are forever looking for the next source of distraction, entertainment, sweet taste in the mouth. We are not like them. We know rich opportunities when we see them and do not throw away God's blessing.

Behrani: Perhaps you did not come here to live like a gypsy, but I did not come here to work like an Arab... to be treated like an Arab. For four years we have lived a life we could not afford and spent almost everything to marry Soraya with a good family. This apartment alone has cost us over 140,000 in rent. And what of Esmail's university education? Soon we will have nothing... And then you sill see what it is like to walk in the shoes of the gypsies

Behrani: [to his son Esmail] Pesaram, she is a bird, a broken one. Your grandfather used to say that a bird which flies into your house is an angel. You must look upon his presence as a blessing.
