Thus the Immigration Department plans on deporting her back to Japan. Immigration has referred her file to the Department of Employment for their assessment of Mrs. Livingston's "exceptional abilities" that would qualify her to stay under that proviso. Miss Harriet Ritter, in charge of Mrs. Livingtson's file, is a self-important, self-absorbed woman, who will not listen to Tom's arguments for letting Mrs. Livingston stay. She believes that Tom's sole interest in Mrs. Livingston is that of a substitute wife. When Tom strikes out with Miss Ritter, Eddie accuses Tom of lying in that he was going to get Mrs. Livingston's permanent visa. Eddie is mad and disappointed and plans on going back to Japan with Mrs. Livingston to take care of her. Finally Tom figures that what Miss Ritter needs to hear is that they love Mrs. Livingston in a caring way and not a romantic way. Eddie's expression of love and of explaining Tom and Mrs. Livingston's relationship is so innocent in its delivery, that he convinces Miss Ritter there is no impropriety between Tom and Mrs. Livingston. Mrs. Livingston will get her visa. Written by Huggo See less
