Julie And Julia Page #3

- I didn't have the courage I needed...

- She's so adorable.

... the way I should've.

But you can always put it together.

And you're alone in the kitchen.

Who's to see?

Pearls. The woman is wearing pearls

in the kitchen.

... you've just got to practice, like the piano.

I'm Julia Child.

Bon apptit.

- Bon apptit.

- Bon apptit.

Bon apptit.

Julia Child is coauthor of the book

Mastering the Art of French Cooking.

Bon apptit.

"For the servantless American cook."

That's me, all right.

Okay, here's a problem.

I've never eaten an egg.

And I have a hyperacidic stomach.

We'll deal.

So I'll cook my way through

the Julia Child cookbook

and write a blog about it.

- But I'll probably need a deadline.

- Why?

Because otherwise it'll be like

everything else I do.

'Cause let's face it, I never finish anything.

- Hey.

- Well, it's true.

You know why I think it is?

- ADD.

- You have ADD?

Yes. That's why I'm so bad at housework.

Oh, is that it?

I'm just saying, a deadline would be good.

So a deadline. "I love deadlines.

"I love the sound they make

as they go whooshing past."

- Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

- I mean it.

- Okay, so a year, or so.

- A year?

This thing weighs like two pounds.

I have a full-time job. Sometimes

I don't get home until 8:00 or 9:00 and...

It's crazy. It's crazy.

- Is it crazy?

- Yes. Yes.

- Okay, you want to do Blog Z?

- Yes.

Blog Z it is.

Nobody here

but us servantless American cooks.

"Servantless American cooks."

- What do you think?

- Love it.

"Start blogging."

"The Julie/Julia Project."

The Book,

Mastering the Art of French Cooking.

First edition, 1961 by Simone Beck,

Louisette Bertholle,

and, of course, Julia Child, the woman

who taught America to cook and to eat.

It's 40 years later and no one can touch her.

The Challenge, 365 days, 524 recipes.

The Contender, Julie Powell.

Government employee by day,

renegade foodie by night.

Risking her marriage, her job,

and her cat's well-being,

she has signed on for

a deranged assignment.

How far it will go, no one can say.

Dear Charlie, we're settled in finally,

and Julia loves it here.

She wants to stay forever.

You know how famously grouchy

the French can be, dear brother.

Everyone here is so delightful.

But Julia brings out the best in a polecat.

So charming.

So she thinks they're the most

wonderful people in the world.

I feel that I am French.

I just must be.

Well, you might be.

As for staying here forever,

I have to say, I wouldn't mind it myself.

And I'm so glad that you came,

- I can't tell you.

- It was a very nice show.

- Thanks for coming.

- I enjoyed it.

- Paul, congratulations. Excellent exhibit.
