to really enjoy it.

I wasn't?

No, because it has to be savoured

fresh out of the oven

to fully appreciate the aroma

and the fragrance

in all of its intensity.

We went over this.

Do you remember?

Look, Amy, if this is about

me being insensitive, I apologize.

Things at work have been...

let's say challenging.

Well, challenging is

when something you want

makes you work harder

to get it.

Is that what you mean?

Where are you going with this?

Well, I thought, you know,

don't get all uptight

and throw around

the four-letter words.

Just let the wine decide

what's gonna pair with this...

little love-bird.

Where's Sebastian?

Bas-man?

Bastian?

Where is he?

(knocking)

(knocking)

Saffron?

It's Amy.

Hi.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Um, I was just.. I was

going to the market

and I was going to make dinner

and I was thinking,

maybe we could

have dinner sometime?

Oh, tonight's not a good night.

I'm really behind on a deadline.

Oh, I wasn't thinking

about tonight.

I'm so busy too, um...

What about next week?

Not a good week for me.

Well, I'll just

check back in with you.

I.. I appreciate the dessert.

Oh!

Did you like the profiteroles?

Oh, yeah, they were wonderful.

Thank you.

Did you like the way the hot

and the cold mixed together and--

Thank you.

Appreciate it.

Mmm.

Mmm, don't you just love

the smell of fresh baking?

I'm sorry to keep asking, Amy,

but something is bothering me

about your neighbour.

You said she was a recluse.

Now, where does a recluse

come up with

all that advice about sex?

Well, maybe she had a lover.

All you need is one.

Did you, um,

ever see any of her movies?

Not that I recall. I don't really follow

who's who, except in the kitchens.

Go ahead. Try it.

You know, I'm really just

a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy.

Oh, a bite won't kill you.

I'd love to, but I have this, uh,

bad flap, that if I eat

something like this, I get...

I.. I even take a pill for it.

Oohh.

Hmm

Mmm.

You know,

they sell you the vanilla extract

and it's not pure.

That is unfair.

What about you?

Anyone in your life?

No. No one.

Well, someone is

definitely missing out.

I got rid of the last one.

I'm free as a bird.

Sometimes you get so far gone

that you can't see

what's good for you anymore.

And when a new opportunity

presents itself,

you have to go for it.

(Audience cheers)

Mmm-- now, fish en croute

with lemon butter sauce

isn't as intimidating

as it sounds.

A dish like this speaks volumes.

It says, 'I've made this for you

with affection'.

(knocking)

May I suggest fish en croute

with lemon butter sauce?

I just renovated my kitchen,

so it's kind of a celebration.

Thank you for thinking of me,
