fan of the masters.

Let me guess.

- El Greco.

- No.

- Goya.

- No.

No, I've got it.

Dali.

I'm right, yes?

The artist doesn't

matter so much.

It's the expression

on the baby's face.

Yes. We musn't

take that for granted.

And the holy mother.

How she loves him.

Madame, (SPEAKS FRENCH)

The dinner is served.

So, tonight's a sort of

last supper in a way.

This maybe the last time

you see this painting.

I'm brokering this sale

to Antoine Bernard.

Oh, Monsieur Antoine.

He's a friend

of the family.

Ah, excellent.

Let me introduce myself.

I am David Morgan.

I live in London.

I am Maria.

No second name?

No, no. Not tonight.

I'm a friend of madam.

A friend of a friend.

HBO, not ABC.

Oh, thank you.

Bon Appetit.

BOB:
Bon Appetit, darling.

JANE:
So being married to the

mayor of London makes you what?

Everybody's asking.

Just another

queen I guess.

Wow. That's great.

You should carry a purse.

And what do you do

for a living?

I'm a hairdresser.

Oh great.

No, I'm joking.

I used to be.

Then I thought I can't

be gay and a hairdresser.

- Too much of a clich. So I changed everthing.

- Oh. And you became?

- Butcher.

- Oh.

I'm joking.

He's a shrink...

He let you

run for office?

I know.

Malpractice.

I'll say.

So, France, Paris.

Why did you come here?

This house

for one thing.

- And my grandfather was French.

- Oh.

And to keep a woman, at some point

you have to satisfy their neurosis.

They are all satisfied

analyst in New York.

She talks about him?

Oh, not of everyone.

I think the good doctor Schwiman

can teach Michael a thing or two.

- About billing, no question.

- (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

Did you rehearse?

Or do you always

speak this fast?

Yes. In such a brilliant

and sarcastic way.

- Years of training, my dear.

- Oh.

It's harder to lie when

you speak faster.

I guess that's why my

husband speaks so slowly.

The Eiffel Tower has a sexual symbol

supposed to save your marriage.

I will ask him.

Do you really think

that love can last?

I mean,

you're so smart.

Could you still be

one of those?

You have to let go.

Well, flowers freeze

and blossom again.

(SMIRKS)

Don't be so cynical.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

Oh. And what do

you suggest?

Adultery, darling.

You're just taking the problem

with you wherever you go.

Make a best friend of your husband

and have lunch with me tomorrow.

Oh. You're evil.

No, I'm French.

(CHUCKLES)

Oh, oh!

Go. Go.

Let me help.

It's only water.

I like to pour water on

myself so women can help me.

Looks like fun.

BOB:
It's generic.

When women sees a stain,

she must come and rub.

You're funny. I mean,

for an American, obviously.

Wow. Every guy from Cambridge
