Well, no.

Look at the wild dandelions.

Mmm. With a little olive oil, crushed

anchovies, salt and pepper...

They make a marvelous salad.

I'm sure the Romans ate them.

Does everything

remind you of eating?

Yes.

Stay, please.

The light is perfect.

Mmm?

Yeah?

Turn a little.

Oh, yes.

Now come in close.

It's great.

Oh, yeah.

This is Erik Satie.

He was a very eccentric man.

Did you know he never

washed his shirts?

So, his wife did them?

No, he did not have a wife.

No?

No, not everyone has to

have a wife to be happy.

So, when his shirts got dirty,

he just threw them away.

Mmm-hmm.

Jacques.

Yeah?

I'm not French.

Yes, that is correct.

Please.

Our dinner reservation is in 45 minutes.

Can you be ready?

I'll meet you downstairs.

Okay.

Bonsoir, madame.

Bonsoir.

Hi!

I was thinking about you.

Yeah, what were you thinking?

About your sweet little ears.

So how's Paris?

I'm actually not there yet.

Why, what happened?

Nothing, really. Jacques

wanted to stop for the night.

He what?

Look, he's not

the greatest driver.

It's probably a good thing we're

not on the roads after dark.

Yeah.

Hey, don't forget,

he's a Frenchman.

How's Budapest?

The hotel is great. It has an

amazing view of the Danube.

How are you feeling?

Better.

Those ear drops

are really helping.

What ear drops?

Michael, let's go on a real

vacation, just the two of us.

Yeah, my phone not invited.

Honey, I think I'm getting

my back thing again.

Do you know where

my pill pack is?

It's in the pocket of your kit.

I looked there.

It's on the inside zip one.

Okay, thanks.

You're the best.

Uh, what time do you think

you'll get to Paris tomorrow?

Early afternoon, I guess.

Okay. Call me when

you get there. Love you.

All right. Love you, too.

I'm sorry, I don't speak French.

I'm sorry.

What did he say?

He said, "you're very lucky to

be having dinner with Jacques."

Oh.

The chef here was famous

for roast baby lamb.

What looks good to you, Anne?

Oh...

Everything looks good.

I can't decide.

You don't have to.

I'm full already.

The wines of the region

are condrieu and cote-rotie.

We'll have them both.

This looks great!

Mmm.

Mmm.

So, Michael tells me you've

closed your dress shop.

Yes. My partner moved to

London with her husband.

I couldn't keep it open by myself.

Do you miss it?

I miss our customers

and all the pretty clothes.

But I'm ready to

try something new.

What interests you now?

I notice you take

a lot of pictures.

Oh.

Those are just for fun.

I started taking photos

for our shop announcements.

Mmm-hmm.

And now I can't stop.

Now.

Eh?

Another one.

Oh.

I did this with our daughter,
