[in order to convince the immigration adjudicator that he is entitled to receive Green Card, Gavin is requested to demonstrate his familiarity with the Jewish religion by reciting "Kaddish" prayer - a Jewish prayer, most of it Aramic. Since the atheist Gavin has little knowledge of Jewish religion, he recites instead a mishmash of prayers, blessings, hymns and non-religious songs in Hebrew]
Gavin Kossef: Baruch ata, Adonay, melech haolam...
[= Blessed are you, Lord, King of the universe]
Gavin Kossef: Hevenu shalom alechem...
[= We brought you peace]
Gavin Kossef: Bore pri hagafen...
[= Who creates the fruit of the vine]
Gavin Kossef: Vetzivanu lehadlik ner shel shabat...
[= And commanded us to light a candle of Sabbath]
Gavin Kossef: Melech haolam...
[= King of the universe]
Gavin Kossef: Hevenu shalom alechem...
[= We brought you peace]
Gavin Kossef: Adon olam asher malach...
[= Eternal Master, who reigned supreme]
Gavin Kossef: A-a-a-men.

[first lines]
Max Brogan: What do you want me to do?
San Pedro ICE Processing Agent: Look, it's not my problem.
Max Brogan: All I'm asking, Stevens, is did the old man get seen to? He was sweating and shaking when I put him on the bus. He said his arm felt numb.
San Pedro ICE Processing Agent: Jesus Christ, Brogan, everything is a humanitarian crisis with you. You've signed off on more orders of recognizance than the rest of your unit combined.
Max Brogan: Don't give me that shit. The man's about to have a goddamn heart attack. I want him seen to.
