Louis

Which one?

wɪʧ wən?

Jessica

The blue one.

ðə blu wən.

Louis

They're both blue.

ðɛr boʊθ blu.

Jessica

I made my choice.

aɪ meɪd maɪ ʧɔɪs.

Louis

I just want to look perfect for your citizenship interview. This is a big moment for you. You're like an immigrant caterpillar, and

aɪ ʤɪst wɔnt tɪ lʊk ˈpərˌfɪkt fər jʊr ˈsɪtɪzənˌʃɪp ˈɪntərvˌju. ðɪs ɪz ə bɪg ˈmoʊmənt fər ju. jʊr laɪk ən ˈɪməgrənt ˈkætəˌpɪlər, ənd

now you'll be an American butterfly.

naʊ jul bi ən əˈmɛrɪkən ˈbətərˌflaɪ.

Jessica

Why must every single moment of our lives be so sentimental? Getting my citizenship, moving to Orlando, Eddie's first word...

waɪ məst ˈɛvəri ˈsɪŋgəl ˈmoʊmənt əv ɑr lɪvz bi soʊ ˌsɛnəˈmɛnəl? ˈgɪtɪŋ maɪ ˈsɪtɪzənˌʃɪp, ˈmuvɪŋ tɪ ɔˈrlænˌdoʊ, ˈɛˌdiz fərst wərd...

Evan

I still don't understand how Mom is not a citizen if I'm a citizen.

aɪ stɪl doʊnt ˌəndərˈstænd haʊ mɑm ɪz nɑt ə ˈsɪtɪzən ɪf əm ə ˈsɪtɪzən.

Louis

Because you boys were born here. And I'm a citizen because I applied for the green card lottery, and then I naturalized. And after that, I

bɪˈkəz ju bɔɪz wər bɔrn hir. ənd əm ə ˈsɪtɪzən bɪˈkəz aɪ əˈplaɪd fər ðə grin kɑrd ˈlɑtəri, ənd ðɛn aɪ ˈnæʧərəˌlaɪzd. ənd ˈæftər ðət, aɪ

sponsored Grandma, who also then naturalized to become a citizen.

ˈspɑnsərd ˈgrændmɑ, hu ˈɔlsoʊ ðɛn ˈnæʧərəˌlaɪzd tɪ bɪˈkəm ə ˈsɪtɪzən.

Jessica

And now she gets to stay here forever.

ənd naʊ ʃi gɪts tɪ steɪ hir fərˈɛvər.

Grandma

(In Mandarin) That's right. Stay mad.

(ɪn ˈmændərən) ðæts raɪt. steɪ mæd.

Louis

But your mom is a permanent resident with a green card. Remember when we got your green card? How they took us into separate gray rooms

bət jʊr mɑm ɪz ə ˈpərmɑˌnɛnt ˈrɛzɪdənt wɪθ ə grin kɑrd. rɪˈmɛmbər wɪn wi gɑt jʊr grin kɑrd? haʊ ðeɪ tʊk ˈjuˈɛs ˈɪntu ˈsɛpərˌeɪt greɪ rumz

and grilled us about how we met.

ənd grɪld ˈjuˈɛs əˈbaʊt haʊ wi mɛt.

Emery

Tell us the story of how you guys met again. It's my favorite love story, after My Girl, of course.

tɛl ˈjuˈɛs ðə ˈstɔri əv haʊ ju gaɪz mɛt əˈgɛn. ɪts maɪ ˈfeɪvərɪt ləv ˈstɔri, ˈæftər maɪ gərl, əv kɔrs.

Jessica

Emery, please, don't get him started.

ˈɛməri, pliz, doʊnt gɪt ɪm ˈstɑrtɪd.

Louis

It was a crisp autumn day. [Sighs] We went to the same college but didn't even know it until the rotten octopus of fate reached out its

food-poisoned tentacles and pulled us together. It was love at first sight.

food-poisoned ˈtɛntəkəlz ənd pʊld ˈjuˈɛs təˈgɛðər. ɪt wɑz ləv æt fərst saɪt.

Jessica

For you, maybe. I was busy being sick from the waist down.

fər ju, ˈmeɪbi. aɪ wɑz ˈbɪzi biɪŋ sɪk frəm ðə weɪst daʊn.

Louis

After an explosive start and a lengthy courtship, she finally accepted my proposal. I know you've said no five times already, but I'm going to

ˈæftər ən ɪkˈsploʊsɪv stɑrt ənd ə ˈlɛŋθi ˈkɔˌrʧɪp, ʃi ˈfaɪnəli ækˈsɛptɪd maɪ prəˈpoʊzəl. aɪ noʊ juv sɛd noʊ faɪv taɪmz ɔˈrɛdi, bət əm goʊɪŋ tɪ

keep asking. Will you marry me?

kip ˈæskɪŋ. wɪl ju ˈmɛri mi?

Jessica

Yes. I will marry you.

jɛs. aɪ wɪl ˈmɛri ju.

Louis

It was magical. Even your mom was a little teary.

ɪt wɑz ˈmæʤɪkəl. ˈivɪn jʊr mɑm wɑz ə ˈlɪtəl ˈtɪri.

Jessica

The ring was pinching my finger.

ðə rɪŋ wɑz ˈpɪnʧɪŋ maɪ ˈfɪŋgər.

Louis

We took the world by storm. We bought a minivan.

wi tʊk ðə wərld baɪ stɔrm. wi bɔt ə ˈmɪniˈvæn.

Jessica

Because I wanted so many kids. I told him shop closed after two.

bɪˈkəz aɪ ˈwɔntɪd soʊ ˈmɛni kɪdz. aɪ toʊld ɪm ʃɑp kloʊzd ˈæftər tu.

Louis

So what made you decide to have me?

soʊ wət meɪd ju ˌdɪˈsaɪd tɪ hæv mi?

Jessica

White wine.

waɪt waɪn.

Louis

And now here we are.

ənd naʊ hir wi ər.

Jessica

Why do you have to romanticize everything? You proposed several times. I said no. You wore me down. I said yes.

waɪ du ju hæv tɪ roʊˈmæntəˌsaɪz ˈɛvriˌθɪŋ? ju prəˈpoʊzd ˈsɛvərəl taɪmz. aɪ sɛd noʊ. ju wɔr mi daʊn. aɪ sɛd jɛs.

Louis

True love is worth fighting for.

tru ləv ɪz wərθ ˈfaɪtɪŋ fər.

Jessica

See? You're doing it again.

si? jʊr duɪŋ ɪt əˈgɛn.

Louis

Déjà vu.

déjàà vu.

Jessica

Just don't tell these stories in the interview. I want it to go quick. The immigration office is on the bad side of town, so I want to hit the

ʤɪst doʊnt tɛl ðiz ˈstɔriz ɪn ðə ˈɪntərvˌju. aɪ wɔnt ɪt tɪ goʊ kwɪk. ðə ˌɪməˈgreɪʃən ˈɔfəs ɪz ɔn ðə bæd saɪd əv taʊn, soʊ aɪ wɔnt tɪ hɪt ðə

99-cent store and then fill up the Accord with the cheap, cheap gas.

  1. Can you describe Jessica's situation regarding American citizenship? How is it different from Louis's?
  2. Jessica says she wanted two kids, but she has three. What is her explanation? Do you think it is okay to tell Evan (their youngest child) this?
  3. Have you or anyone you know gone through a similar immigration process? Can you describe the steps?
  4. Do you know how your parents met? Is it a romantic story?
  5. What is the most romantic (real) first-meeting story you have ever heard?
  6. Anyone born on American soil automatically gets American citizenship. Is this the same in your country? Do you think this is a good law? Why or why not?
  7. How about you? If you are in a relationship, how did you meet your partner? Is it a romantic story?
  8. Five characters have their citizenship at the beginning of the clip: Louis, Grandma, Eddie, Emery, and Evan. How did each get their citizenship?
  9. From this short clip, how would you describe the relationship between Louis's mother and Jessica? Do you have a similar relationship with your in-laws?
  10. Louis romanticizes everything. Jessica seems much colder and more practical. Who are you more similar to? Can you give some examples?
