Midnight in Paris Page #4

Synopsis: Gil and Inez travel to Paris as a tag-along vacation on her parents' business trip. Gil is a successful Hollywood writer but is struggling on his first novel. He falls in love with the city and thinks they should move there after they get married, but Inez does not share his romantic notions of the city or the idea that the 1920s was the golden age. When Inez goes off dancing with her friends, Gil takes a walk at midnight and discovers what could be the ultimate source of inspiration for writing. Gil's daily walks at midnight in Paris could take him closer to the heart of the city but further from the woman he's about to marry.

I think I just want to take a little walk,

go to bed, and then we'll do it another night.

OK. Alright, well I can go, though, right?

- You want to go?

- Well, yeah,

Yeah, I mean, I'm not tired,

and I've been dying to go dancing,

and I'll just meet you back at the hotel.

- I'll take good care of her.

- OK.

I'll get a cab. Taxi!

- OK, but you should take a cab.

- No, I'm not taking a cab. I'm walking.

- No, you'll get lost.

- OK, I'm gonna walk.

Is he a good writer?

I mean, have you read his prose?

- Well, he won't let anybody.

- He won't let?

Oh look, I mean, if he wants, I'd be glad to

look over his novel and critique it for him.

- That would be great!

- Would you?

- You know, I think that's what he needs!

- Yeah?

- Well, it helps.

- To have it read by someone. Yeah!

- And you wouldn't pull any punches?

- Well, I certainly won't be letting

you know I won't do that.

-No.

I do that about you.

See, but, the problem is,

when it comes to his writing,

he has absolutely no respect

for anybody else's opinion.

Really?

Oh, excuse me! Parlez-vous...

Do you speak English?

- Uh...Htel Bristol?

- Parle pas anglais. Dsol.(We don't speak English. Sorry.)

(Hey! Get in! Come on!)

Montez! On va vous laisser!

(Get in! We're going to leave you!)

- What?

- Come on, guy.

- I didn't hear you. What?

- Come on!

Come on, guy!

Get in the car!

Guys, I think you've got me mixed up.

Vous allez me faire fatigu. Venir!

(You're making me tired. Come on!)

I can't understand you.

I'm a little drunk! I can't...

What is this, an old Peugeot?

I have a friend who collects these in Beverly Hills.

Come on, have a drink. Come on!

- Come on, buddy! Come on!

- OK.

Give me your hand. OK.

Sit down, here.

- Let's go in. Paris, the city of lights.

- Allez! On y va!(Let's go! We're off!)

OK, now, where are

you guys taking me?

On va faire la fte!

(We're going to party!)

Yeah, this isn't quite fair,

'cause I've already had a lot of red wine tonight.

Mais dtendez-vous! Vous voulez du champagne.

(Relax! Have some champagne.)

I do like champagne, yeah...

Sant! Sant!(Cheers! Cheers!)

- The night is young. Drink up!

- I'm drinking!

- Have a drink!

Yeah, drink up!

[Cole Porter's "Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love"]

Let's fall in love

In Spain, the best upper-sets do it

Lithuanians and Letts do it

Let's do it. Let's fall in love.

The Dutch in old Amsterdam do it

Not to mention the Finns

Folks in Siam do it - think of Siamese twins

Some Argentines without means do it

People say in Boston even beans do it

Let's do it - Let's fall in love

Romantic sponges, they say do it

Oysters down in Oyster Bay do it
