- Do you live in Paris?

- Yeah, yeah.

Not far from here,

where the immigrants live.

- Here?

- Yeah, in the city.

Wow, you must love it here.

No, not really.

Oh.

How long have you been Michael?

Hmm, I don't know.

I guess I was born this way.

Mmm, oui.

Bonjour.

Do you speak English?

- Do you like Marilyn Monroe?

- Yes.

So cute.

- Au revoir.

- Merci.

Au revoir.

So how long have you been Marilyn?

Since I first got my b*obs.

- Of course.

- Of course!

Merci.

Merci.

- Salut!

- Chin-chin.

I am married.

I have been married for seven years,

and my husband,

he lives as Charlie Chaplin.

He was Buster Keaton

before he became Chaplin.

I met him on a cruise ship while he was

doing his act. We have a daughter as well.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- How old is she?

- She's six, almost seven.

She lives as Shirley Temple.

- She impersonates?

- Yeah! Well, she tries.

- But she's so young.

- I know, but she seems to enjoy it,

and her father, you know,

it's very important for him.

So, what? Charles Chaplin

meets Marilyn Monroe on a cruise ship

and they have a daughter

named Shirley Temple?

Yeah, kind of. I wasn't Marilyn yet

when I met Charlie, but he showed me.

Mmm.

- When are you leaving?

- I leave in two days.

- On Sunday?

- Yeah.

Hm.

Where do you live?

I live in the Highlands.

- Really?

- Yeah, way up.

Why?

Well, it's kind of a long story,

but I guess it's not that long.

But isn't it cold over there, like freezing?

No, no, no, no, no.

It's cold, like, half the year

and the other half it's warm.

- And what do you do there?

- We do lots of things,

like, some people take care of the animals,

some people garden,

some people take care of the house.

Sometimes we perform for each other, then

we go out and perform for other people.

It's so beautiful there.

There are mountains all around.

You would just not believe

how beautiful it is.

And we're building a great stage and

we're gonna put a show on every night,

and it's only for people like us -

impersonators.

It's gonna be the greatest show on earth.

It's such a special place.

A place where everyone is famous

and no one ages.

A place that we created

and built ourselves.

There's gonna be nowhere like it on earth.

Do you wanna come?

I would love it if you came.

They would love you there!

- No, I don't think so.

- Why not?

- I don't know, what would I do there?

- Anything at all, anything you want.

We have many extra rooms.

And we need a Michael.

We don't have a Michael.

No, I... I wouldn't know

what to do in a commune.

Neither did I, but there's plenty you can do.

Oh, Michael, say you'll come.

Please come.

You must, you simply must.

I really don't know.
