Formidable.

Show me.

Ah. One minute,

s'il te plaTt.

There is a diamond

there somewhere. Yes?

That's not just

the reflection of the light?

You're impossible.

Paolo is a bus driver.

He saved a year for this.

I was just joking,chrie.

It's a beautiful ring.

And I couldn't be happier

that you're in love.

All marriages should start

out this way, uh, before-

- Before what? - Nothing. You

should enjoy it while it lasts.

Especially with an Italian.

[Speaking Italian ]

Did I tell you

you look radiant today?

Really.

You're lit up with love, chfle.

- Why is he doing this?

- He's French. He can't help it.

They think

they invented love.

Uh, it's true. We did.

They don't call it

German kissing, do they?

Frangois, I'm horribly sorry

I ever showed you the ring.

You need help.

Okay.

Um, Want to have a drink

with me when we get to--

Where are we going

today, Fritz?

Munich, I think.

[Speaks French ]

Munich.

So how about

a drink in Munich?

J" [Jazz]

[Woman]

I I made up my mind

I Leave it all

back far behind I

I No trouble or grief .P

X Gonna be dead by me X

[ Bicycle Bell Rings]

[ Bell Clangs]

I I said no trouble

or grief gonna be .P

I mean, I had to literally, like,

guide him through the whole proposal.

You guarded him? No, I didnt guard him.

l guided him.

Ah.

[Chattering ]

I worry about you

and Paolo,chrie.

You do?

Uh-huh.

Why? Because men prefer

women who are, um-

How shall I put this?

More French.

No, Frangois. You prefer

women who are "more French,"

and who will say "Oui, mon amour.

Oui, oui, oui."

And they're gonna put their

arms around you when you walk,

and they're gonna hang on your

every word, and they're gonna say,

"Whatever you want, sweetie.

Just say the word, hmm?"

Oh!

Maybe there is something I could be

able to do for you right now'? Hmm'?

Paolo and I are just fine.

You don't have to worry.

Enjoy our hotel.

Hi, Gerd.

Hello.

[ Clears Throat ]

Will that be

one room, or two?

One.

Two.

[ Mouths Word ]

Hello?

You know what this means?

This is your last chance

for a fling.

It's not gonna happen.

- Paolo is Italian, right?

- Mm-hmm.

Italian men think

that "fidelity"...

is the name of the woman

who lives across the hall.

They can't help it.

It's genetic.

Frangois, I'm gonna go to my

very own room now. Danke.

I'm gonna soak. I'm gonna try to

forget what you've done to me today.

Okay.

I'm not finished yet.

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

No, no, no. Just--

Zzzt!

I've known Paolo

for three years now,

and he's just not the type

who will get attracted...

to the first good-looking

woman that passes by.

[ Snores ]

Thanks.

Oh.
