A Lady Without Passport

Palinov, Gulf Stream Cafe Havana:
A shrewd man never asks questions until he has gathered enough information to be able to distinguish between lies and truth.

Marianne Lorress:
Havana does look lovely.

Peter Karczag INS aka Josef Gombush:
It's a way station. The last one. Then the United States.

Marianne Lorress:
Is it everything people dream about?

Peter Karczag INS aka Josef Gombush:
I don't know. It is what many have dreamed. Others whose dreams have edges too round, colors too bright, they are disappointed.

Marianne Lorress:
Oh, I'm not looking for streets paved with gold. A home, respect, freedom. And neighbors who want the same thing.

Peter Karczag INS aka Josef Gombush:
Marianne, don't hope for too much.

Marianne Lorress:
I'm just beginning to hope.

Peter Karczag INS aka Josef Gombush:
Even if things go as you expect, I've been to the United States... a little thing like an accent, a foreign name, it will set you apart. There's always someone who laughs.
