Yeah, I just, well,

just tell him that...

I can use my vacation days.

I just really need some rest.

Yeah, it's okay.

Oh, Lorraine,

Lorraine, I have to go.

I have to go, bye!

-[Narrator] She knew Jerome

had positioned himself

on that corner specifically

so she could see him

to coax her outside

and come talk to him.

- Jerome!

You?

- Yes.

But what are you doing here?

- Oh, I just was in

the neighborhood.

- I was talking through

the neighborhood. I saw you.

- Yeah, but, no, I mean,

what are you doing in Paris?

- Oh, I decided to stay.

- Really?

You really live in Paris now?

Okay.

- It's great, huh?

- I give my eyes to you now.

It's my fault.

Do you want stuff?

The rest of medicine?

For my treatment for

that in my place.

- If you want, I can give you--

- Oh, that'd be great, yeah.

-[Narrator] As the

antibiotic drops soothed

her diseased eye, Gina

became elated and thankful.

She had found someone who

knew how to take of her.

- Sorry, I have to leave.

- Hm?

- I have some stuff to do.

- Oh, what do you have to do?

- Because it's my

birthday party tonight.

- Tonight?

Is today your birthday?

- Yeah.

- It's your birthday today?

I can't believe it's your, mm!

Happy birthday!

- Thank you.

I am 40.

- Happy birthday.

- Thank you.

- Well, can I help you?

I'll help you buy some stuff.

I can make a cake.

- Uh, okay.

- Okay, okay.

Okay, hold on, let me just see.

Sorry.

- No, it's okay, it's okay.

- Oh, your--

-[Jerome] Oh.

- Okay.

[party music]

- Red wine?

Red wine.

-[Gina] Maybe I

can help you pick.

-[Jerome] No, no, it's okay.

-[Gina] Oh, I like this one.

I like that.

-[Jerome] Yeah, but I think--

- What she's wearing.

- Yeah, no, no, yeah, this one.

Yeah.

Yeah, if you want, you

can go down in the kitchen

and get some stuff,

some food for everybody.

-[Gina] Oh, yeah.

Yeah, of course.

Yeah, yeah, good idea.

- Thank you.

-[Gina] Okay, I'll be back.

- Thanks.

- Oh, I'm on leave

right now, so yeah,

normally, back and forth,

but now I'm here for a while.

- Enjoying?

- Yeah, enjoying it a lot.

- Cool.

- Well, you have to be

naked five days a week.

- Oh, but you're so

beautiful, you don't mind.

- Why, do you want

to work there?

- Oh, I don't think so.

- Not like a dancer, but like

a waitress, or a dishwasher?

[laughs]

- I don't know if

Jerome told you,

but I am a flight attendant.

- Oh.

Oh, okay.

And it's a very,

do you have jobs?

- Teacher.

[piano keys jangling]

- So, she said you

can't have your dessert

until you have your vegetables,

and then she took them back,

and I mean, she's much older,

she's been a flight attendant

for about 20 years
