Monsieur Morgan?!

Madame Dune?

What are you doing here?

What do you mean?

It's Tuesday.

It's Wednesday, monsieur.

Wednesday? Are you sure?

Yes, monsieur.

Would you like me to make you

some breakfast, monsieur?

No, thank you.

How about some lunch later?

No, thank you.

(TELEPHONE RINGS)

I'm going out to lunch.

Monsieur?

Yes, I would like a ham

and cheese baguette to go,

with the pickle on the side.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

Jambon, that one.

Take the pickles off.

And put the pickles on the side.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

Like always, monsieur?

No pickles, and water?

Thank you.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

Thank you.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

Thank you...

mademoiselle.

Now speak after me:

J'ai faim.

Je t'aime.

Can I eat my lunch now?

You're never going to learn

the language this way, chri.

I don't have to.

I have you.

But what if...

What if we enjoy "la dejeuner"?

Le djeuner.

Le djeuner.

S'il vous plait?

S'il te plait.

S'il te plait.

MATTHEW:
Pardon.

Pardon.

(SPEAKING FRENCH SHARPLY)

- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

- Yeah, sorry, sorry.

(SPEAKING FRENCH) You okay?

Yes, thank you.

Pardon.

Those steps are tricky when they're wet.

They can be.

Thank you, you're very kind.

De rien, monsieur.

Would you maybe like me to walk you home?

Do you live near here?

Thank you, that...

that's not really necessary.

I really don't mind.

I've got time.

See now?

I am now officially Girl Scout material.

Pardon?

Sorry, uh... um...

it's not far.

This is my place.

You've been very kind.

May I buy you a cup of coffee?

I'm sorry, but I can't.

I've got to go to class.

But thank you very much

for the invitation.

- You're a student?

- No, I'm a teacher.

Really? So am I!

Really?

What do you teach?

Well so was I.

Philosophy. And you?

Cha cha.

Au revoir.

Good-bye. Thank you.

De rien.

- MILES:
Susan?

- Susan?

It's 7 a.m.

Why would Susan call you at 7 a.m.?

Isn't she there?

Hi, Dad.

Is everything alright?

- Yeah.

- Where is Susan?

Yeah. She's just...

visiting her mom for a couple of days.

Then why are you whispering?

Kyle's here.

He had a bad dream.

Yeah, well, I was just checking in.

How is everyone?

We're fine.

Did you buy your tickets yet?

No... um, I need to talk

to you about that.

We might not be able

to come over this year.

Susan might have other plans.

Oh, I see.

What other plans?

Hang on.

KYLE:
Hello, Grandpa.

Hello, Kyle, how are you?

- Not bad. And you?

- Not so bad myself.

Mom said we're not gonna

see you this summer.

Uh, listen, Kyle, um...

I-I gotta go.

Will you tell your father

we'll talk another time?

Okay.

(CALL ENDS ABRUPTLY)

(TRAFFIC SOUNDS)

Damn.

She is waiting,

Monsieur Morgan.

- For quite a while, I might add.

- Thank you.

I'm sorry I'm late, Colette.

I lost track of all time.

You are forgived.

You are forgiven.

Ah, yes. Thank you.

- Voici.

- Merci.

No need for a bad...

how would you say mauvaise conscience?

- Conscience?

- Conscience.

Yes! So it's the same,

only you say it differently.

Isn't that I think strange?

We say science

and you say science.

We say conscience

and you say...

- Conscience.

- Conscience. It's a mystery, non?

I'm so fond of our

little lessons, Matthew.

I hope you will never get

tired of my terrible accent.

(MAN SPEAKING FRENCH)

Will you order maybe in French?

Have some practice?

Not if you're hungry.

(CHUCKLES)

Okay. All right, I will order.

The same like always?

Ouais. Y-yes.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

(AMERICAN ACCENT) Non, merci.

Far away from home, eh?

Actually, this is my home.

Paris, that is.

Really.

What's your area?

- St. Germain.

- I meant as a collector.

No, I'm... I'm not

actually a collector.

No. I'm thinking

about it, though.

Well, let me

tell you something.

And don't get me wrong.

But... small goals.

That's what you have to do.

Keep your expectations low.

To get started

at your age, well...

I've been doing this for

35 years and I tell you,

I have yet to

scratch the surface.

Really? I thought

stamp collecting was for...

Trust me.

It's just starting

to get interesting.

I took on Scandinavia

in the '70s,

but after a few years

I realized

there was no way

I was gonna get together

a decent collection

in one lifetime.

So... I narrowed it down.

- To what?

- Sweden.

Now I'm starting

to look at Iceland.

Interesting island.

Not a lot of mail.

If you want my advice:

Think Eastern Europe.

Romania is down

that way to your left.

MAN:
Pardon!

Hello!

Well! What a surprise.
