My Old Lady Page #2

- Thank you.

I'll get the femme de mnage to

make up a room for you upstairs.

- Do you have any luggage?

- Just the one bag.

- That's it?

- That's it.

I think you need some air.

Take a walk by the Seine.

The night will be beautiful.

Only don't... Please don't jump in.

You'll probably fail to drown yourself

and just end up with a dreadful cold.

Dinner is at 8:
00, precisely.

Don't be late,

or I'll start without you.

I'm still six hours behind.

I'll have to charge you

something for staying here.

I always need money,

and that watch is gold.

You're a pirate, Madame Girard.

C'est vrai.

Auguste Lefebvre. Pardon.

Lefebvre. I'm Mathias Gold. Call me Jim.

- Any chance you speak a little English?

- Yes, yes, of course I do.

- A little bit, Jim.

- Oh, good.

I'm wondering

if you have an apartment...

about 400 to 600 square

meters I could see?

I might have something, yes.

Sit down, please.

- How big did you say?

- Around 400 to 600 square meters.

Yes. With a little imagination...

and a bit of money...

this could be, un vrai palace.

Masterpiece.

And... this is... how much?

Oh, the owners ask 12 million.

But I think you can make

an offer with enough...

Twelve million. And how much would

this be worth if there were a...

garden in the back that's equally,

if not bigger, in size?

Why do you ask this?

Actually, I'm... I'm looking to sell.

D'accord. And where is your apartment?

It's in the Marais.

Yeah. I inherited it.

It's... It's really big.

I've got some pictures.

- Let's see.

- See? It's two stories.

It's about that long.

And this huge garden.

- This is good.

- Yeah. There's only one problem.

See that old lady?

Yeah. She lives there.

It's a viager.

- This is not good.

- Yes.

No... She's 90.

- Not so bad.

- Yeah.

This French guy,

whose name I can't pronounce,

he's called me a couple of times.

We Skyped while I was still in New York,

and he's really hot to buy it.

Of course I didn't tell him about

the old lady. I didn't know about her.

If you see him, tell him she's

90 right away. Tout de suite.

Good point. Yeah.

Do you have a... a card?

Oh, yes, yes. Of course.

Of course, I do.

- Voil.

- Thanks.

- I'll be in touch.

- Okay. Call me.

I eat dinner each night

at precisely 8:
00.

And breakfast is at precisely 8:00 a.m.

I don't eat lunch.

Lunch is not a meal that interests me.

Please?

It's a 10-year-old Gigondas.

Should be lovely.

Ten years is a perfect age for Gigondas.

Any younger, and the Syrah

overpowers the Grenache.

Any... Any older, then the alcohol...

overpowers everything and everyone.

You're very precise.

Very precise, Madame...

- Girard.

- Precision is the key to a long life.
