- Um... 1.

- Right. This table, gentlemen.

I know I'm springing it on you.

You've made a life for yourself here.

You've turned your father's brasserie

into your own restaurant.

I'll understand if you say

you can't leave or don't want to leave.

Surrounded by everything

that makes you happy.

But I wanted to ask anyway.

You never know...

Maybe you're not so... so happy.

Maybe you'd like a different life.

Lots of people do.

Pascaline?

- Table 6.

- Uh, table 6 is already occupied.

Oh, uh, table 11, at the back.

Oh dear, I'll have to answer that.

- Table 11, please.

- Can't we sit here?

Mr Clment.

Already decided, the XC90?

- Table 2 is reserved.

- There's no one sitting there.

I show you

to a table, give you the menu,

bring you the food and you pay.

Table 11.

This table, please.

- It's a ridiculous idea, Frank.

- Yes, I know. But I'm asking anyway.

OYSTER GRATIN WITH SPINACH

AND A CHAMPAGNE SAUCE

Table 7, elderly couple,

vegetables well cooked

and the man is allergic to

oysters and nuts.

Christ! What does he want instead?

Table 6 wants the first course

without spinach.

And table 11 wants sea bass twice

as the second course.

We said it was a set menu on

Valentine's Day, not la carte.

Careful, Ingrid, it's hot.

- That interrupts my flow.

- Chef can't work like this.

- Kevin, tray.

- Yes, Chef.

- Table 2, did you take the reservation?

- Yes.

- Telephone number?

- Sorry, Sis.

- How often do I have to tell you to ask?

- Yes, I know.

- Ingrid?

- Yes?

- Just now, I wanted to ask...

- Kevin.

- Yes, Chef?

- The gratin won't brown like that.

Frank...

Buenos Aires. Dammit!

Half of the grapes used to make

the Ct Pontoise 2006

are from vines that are 25, 30 years old

and half are from very young vines

found mainly round

the Gironde estuary.

A fruity finish and

a very agreeable wine.

- Corked.

- Corked?

- Sorry, sir, I don't think...

- I'm certain. Bring me another bottle.

OK.

- What does corked mean?

- That it tastes of cork.

May I smell it?

- I've got a good nose for that.

- Uh, of course.

- It's fine.

- Yes, I thought so too.

There you are, sir.

A new Ct Pontoise 2006.

Look at that, darling.

Oysters, scallops, pigeon and champagne.

All aphrodisiacs...

- I'll end up feeling really horny.

- Hold on, I've got something for you.

- Here you are.

- Oh, thank you, honey.

- I'll put them on for you later!

- Promise?

Excuse me, could you be

a bit more discreet?

- Get a life, woman!

- Shhh, sweetheart.

Yes! Sold.

The biggest one.

He was still hesitating.

I managed to persuade him.

Well done, darling.

I've earned my evening, haven't I?

I suppose you'll want sex later too?
