Paris Can Wait
Yeah?
No, no.
Hey, Budapest
could be huge for us.
They say we'll cut
production costs in half!
No, a vacation can wait.
Yeah, Annie knows.
She understands.
Oh, right, I met with Mr.
Yamamoto this morning.
He finally said yes to our deal.
Yeah. I almost threw
my back out bowing.
Okay, later.
Mmm.
You have no idea
how good this tastes
after seaweed and fish.
Why can't the Japanese distributors
just serve croissants?
I mean, we're in France,
for Christ sakes.
Can I offer you some
delicious cold coffee?
Let me see.
Oh...
I gotta keep packing.
Ooh.
You okay?
Oh, I'll be fine,
it's just my ears, you know.
Right.
Oh, come on, One hundred camels?
Where the hell are we gonna get
100 camels, for Christ sakes?
What does the script say?
Goats. I thought so. And those
Moroccan goats work cheap.
You tell the director,
no more creativity.
He's gonna use
the goddamn goats...
And he's lucky
he still has a job. Okay?
Have I mentioned that overseas
production is a b*tch?
Mmm-hmm.
Seriously, Twelve Euros
for a bottle of water.
And look, they charged you for a
hamburger and a cheese sandwich.
Well, I wanted a cheeseburger,
but I couldn't order one...
So, I got both
and I made my own.
Honey, what are you
working so hard for
if your wife can't have a
cheeseburger when she wants one?
Baby, I'd buy you
a billion cheeseburgers,
but you know how much I
hate wasteful extravagance.
Ah, yes. Because your cufflinks
were such a bargain.
Have you seen that book I, uh...
Thank you.
Now let me check
those little ears.
So sweet.
Yeah. Okay.
I'll be right down.
Honey, would you
call the bellman?
Have him come up
and get my bags.
We're sorry, all lines are busy.
Ugh...
Excuse me.
Oh, sorry.
Madame, I'm so sorry.
Would you please
hold this under Lockwood?
Thank you.
You're welcome.
It was my real dream to act.
And so I went to Paris
seven years ago.
And it was
a wonderful experience.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Oh.
I enjoyed
talking to you. Good luck.
Pleasure to meet you, too.
Hi, honey.
Bonjour, Anne.
Hello, Jacques.
You're all set. I've checked you
out and the car is waiting.
You look lovely.
She does, doesn't she?
Come on.
Mr. Lockwood,
can I have a photo?
Thank you.
Your driver is here.
I read the script.
Yes?
And I'm telling you,
and it's commercial, too.
Classic and commercial?
Come on. Let's go produce it!
Only for a minute.
What's the matter?
What the hell?
Oh, Michael, you know I am
not a whiner, but my ears...
Oh, baby, I'm sorry.
You'll be able to rest
when we get to Budapest.
And wait till you see
where we're staying.
It's Mario.
Uh, what's my inseam?
34 inches.
86 centimeters.
Ah.
The food on the plane will not be food.
So I got you something good.
Try this sausage.
The old man in that
shop makes it himself.
Mmm.
And look at this Dijon mustard.
It's Edmond Fallot.
The best in France!
Anne, here are some
drops for your ears.
Thank you, Jacques.
Our director in Morocco
has gone completely crazy.
He's into double
overtime every day.
He seduced his leading lady but
now they're fighting on the set.
It's a nightmare.
Yes, but he's had
three straight hits.
Relax, we can trust him.
What's he doing now?
I don't know.
Mmm.
Smell that perfume!
And it's full of vitamins!
Mmm.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Ah...
I can't believe
Laszlo sent this.
I told you he wants to
be in business with us.
Be careful, because
he's not a generous man.
Madame.
Yes?
I notice your ears
seem to be bothering you.
Well, yes.
I must warn you that the cabin
pressure can be quite painful.
I don't recommend you fly today.
Thank you.
Michael, I think
I should skip Budapest
and just go straight to Paris.
What?
Yeah.
I mean, you're gonna be working
the whole time anyway.
Well, honey, I'm just sorry I didn't
know you were feeling so bad.
May I make a suggestion?
I'll take care of her.
Really?
Yes.
I have meetings
tomorrow morning in Paris
and I'm driving back now.
Oh, that's fine. I can
take the train, it's fine.
Everybody's leaving Cannes today.
The trains are full.
So, let me drive you.
Uh...
That's very generous,
but you sure it's okay with you?
Uh...
You'll be there by dinner time.
Look, I don't bite.
- You rest up in Paris.
- I'll call you tonight.
Baby, I love you. Uh...
Hold on one second please.
I gotta go. Bye.
Michael!
This is a lovely car.
Yes. She's with me for a long time.
Hmm.
No, no, no, no.
You need lunch. Come.
Oh.
Here.
I like to stay here
when I'm in Cannes,
away from
the crowd at the beach.
It's a beautiful day.
Are you nervous?
Maybe. A little bit.
We've never actually
been alone together.
So you didn't believe me
when I said I don't bite.
Uh, would you like
a glass of wine?
Mmm-mmm.
No, no.
No, no. Thank you.
Yes!
When in France.
You'll like this wine,
it's Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
Ooh. That's good!
Merci.
This wine goes well with your
ham de Bayonne and melon.
Merci.
Mmm.
It's delicious!
Mmm.
I know it's rude, but, Anne, I
may have to take some calls.
It's okay.
I'm used to it.
You shouldn't be.
Anne, a deal offer is like a souffle.
It's all about timing.
Yes, you don't
want it to collapse.
Yes?
No, tell him I'm not in unless
