I think they are.

Right.

We're opening a boutique

in the Printemps department store.

You'll have certain responsibilities,

but it's a step above salesgirl.

I understand that.

It's very hard work,

and to be honest

not very well-paid.

I've thought it over and I want it.

Do you know our line?

Of course.

We target active women with

limited means but who expect quality.

Not exactly your profile.

But the store

attracts a lot of tourists,

Sure. No problem.

many of them Asian, so speaking

several languages is a major asset.

Come meet Madame Gregory.

She runs the show here.

She's busy overseeing

our new lingerie collection.

Obviously

you'll have to fit into our mold.

- Meaning?

- You can't dress like you are now.

Or like you did on your cable show.

It would look bad.

- You saw the show?

- It was my generation.

It was a lot of fun.

It was before cable TV caught on.

It was for the happy few.

The cool set.

There's Madame Gregory.

- Are you home?

- I'm going out soon.

How was it?

Awful.

- It didn't work out?

- Yeah, it'll work out.

I don't exactly have a choice.

I learned that in prison.

- Learned what?

- To adapt.

If I want to see Jay

I have to change my life.

Even if the new life sucks.

It's the life most people live.

- Yeah, but it's grim.

- Being a junkie was better?

I don't know.

I honestly don't.

- You went shopping.

- A little. For Jay.

He can sleep downstairs.

Don't bother. I'll make room

with me. He'll be fine.

It's no bother for a weekend.

Exactly. If I only have two days

I want him near me the whole time.

Don't get carried away.

What do you mean?

What happens when he has to go?

Back to London. Then back

to Vancouver. It's far away.

I'm sorry to be harsh.

You're right.

Maybe it's better if I don't see him.

I don't know.

Why is Albrecht coming?

I wrote him to say I'm doing well

that I found a job.

I guess he doesn't believe me.

He's checking.

Are you up to the test?

I'm trying to change...

But I don't know

if I can take care of a child.

I want a coffee.

I'll meet you inside.

Got any change?

Remember I told you about Gloria?

- The girl you met in prison?

- She's out.

I thought she was in for a while.

It turns out the case was dismissed.

She called last week.

She wants me to join her.

- Where?

- San Francisco.

She found a label.

They like our demos.

Be careful.

Do you have a contract?

She didn't mention one.

Is there any money in it?

They're willing to pay for sessions

with a real producer.

- What's his name?

- David Roback.

- Got a light?

- No.

He has a group called Mazzy Star.

Excuse me, do you have a light?

Sorry for bothering.

Thank you.
