Ahmed: What case?
Manuel: Let's go to the Law library to figure it out.
Ahmed: For what?
Manuel: So you can learn about your case. Don't just take the deportation when you don't even understand your situation.
Ahmed: I understand my situation. Look man, I am not like you. No one gives a shit that I'm in here.
Manuel: Look, my lawyer's coming, you should try to talk to her because if you don't defend yourself, no one will.
