- I'll have the beef.

- How do you like it?

- Medium rare.

Same thing, rare.

And you, honey?

The sea bass, please.

Actually I'll have the fish too.

Same wine?

Perfect.

She's a cutie.

Don't you think she's pretty?

Gilles, stop it.

What'd I say?

Her dress is very pretty.

Excuse me...

- Where are the restrooms?

- Downstairs.

Gonna wash my hands.

When do you go back to work?

Tuesday.

Monday, then.

I'm not sure we should.

Please.

I want you to take me shopping.

As Virginia?

Virginia?

I mean as a woman.

I like that. Virginia.

He's coming.

Pick me up at 2.

Pull into the garage.

I'm starving!

I like David, he's a good guy.

- What's wrong?

- Nothing.

- Come on, I can tell.

- The waitress thing was obnoxious.

What'd I say?

David just lost his wife!

I was just lightening things up.

Anyway, he clearly wasn't interested.

I've always felt he was a bit...

A bit what?

There's something very...

feminine about him.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I'm sure he loved Laura

and she loved him.

But I imagine men like him too.

- Did you come?

- No.

But it's ok.

David, are you here?

Coming!

Hello.

Are you serious?

What's wrong?

I agreed to go out discreetly.

Not with a 6 foot 4 tranny

drawing looks.

What do we do?

Couldn't you just wear pants?

My first time out,

I want my legs to breathe.

Where's the other dress?

- Which one?

- The one you let out.

- It's in the hamper.

- Get it.

- It's wrinkled!

- This isn't a fashion show.

It's just two girlfriends shopping.

Ok.

Just let me iron it.

There.

Perfect.

Do I keep the stockings?

- I don't know.

- Or wax again?

Keep them. It's faster.

I'll need your help

with my lower back hair.

I can't reach it.

Damn this dress.

Hang on.

Thanks.

Careful, it comes loose.

Look what you make me do!

Harmless fun.

Got a less flashy wig?

I've got plenty-

There we are.

Nice, you did my hair like Laura's.

Isn't this a bit much?

- The neighbors mustn't know.

- For sure.

- Where to?

- Downtown.

Where?

The mall, so many shops!

Claire!

Is my wig ok?

It's fine.

- Are you sure?

- Very pretty.

Let's go.

You'll call me Virginia?

Ok.

My first time out as a woman!

You might want to change your voice.

Hello.

Got the car keys, Virginia?

Cat got your tongue?

They're in your purse.

Right, silly me!

Room for improvement, Virginia.

Just you wait.

- Think they can tell?

- No.

- Wish I'd worn the other dress.

- No, this is great.

It proves you're credible.

Look!

Too much?

No, it's you.

Virginia?

Like it?

Beautiful.

- Looks great.

- Thanks.

But is it me?

Sure! It's gorgeous with your hair.

Gives you a tiny waist.

- Really?

- And it's a steal.

Have a nice day, ladies.

François Ozon

François Ozon (French: [fʁɑ̃.swa o.zɔ̃]; born 15 November 1967) is a French film director and screenwriter whose films are usually characterized by sharp satirical wit and a freewheeling view on human sexuality.
