What, Uh--What

About The French

Mothers?

They, Um, They'Re

In Love With Their Sons.

And The American

Mothers Are Not?

Not As Much.

I Think Because

Of The Food.

Here You Go.

Merci.

Bartender:

Bonsoir, Monsieur.

Bonsoir,

Mademoiselle.

Bonsoir.

Are You American?

Yes. Why?

Because You Look

A Very Beautiful

American Woman

Sitting Alone

In This Bar.

Maybe I'M Waiting

For Someone.

Well, But You

Look Alone.

No?

My Name Is

Jean Paul Claremont.

What'S Yours?

Nora Wilder.

Nice To Meet You,

Nora.

Nice To Meet You.

May I Offer You

Another Drink?

Sure. Well,

After This One.

Cheers.

I Mean, What Were

The Chances That

I Would Find Him?

But, You Know,

The Funny Thing Is

After A While

I Wasn'T Even

Looking For Julian.

I Was Just Doing

My Own Thing,

And It Felt Good.

It'S Not Wrong

To Want Someone

To Love You.

Most People

Are Together

Just So They

Are Not Alone,

But Some People

Want Magic.

I Think You Are One

Of Those People.

Nothing Wrong

With That?

Nothing,

But It Doesn' Happen All The Time.

Does It Ever Happen?

First, Nora,

You Must Find Love

And Happiness

In Yourself.

Do You Understand?

I Think So.

Oh. We Are

Both Drunk.

I Will Put You

In A Taxi To Your Hotel.

It'S Time To Go.

Jean Paul:
Tomorrow,

You Will Start

Your Life Again.

I Don'T Know Why,

But I Will Never

Forget You.

I'Ll Never Forget

You Either.

Never.

[Telephone Ringing]

Hello?

Audrey:
Hey, Nora.

It'S Me.

Audrey, Hi.

How'S It Going?

Everything'S Ok.

I'M Just Leaving

For The Airport

In A Couple Of Minutes.

Well, Did You

Find Him?

No, I Didn'T,

But I'M All Right.

Really?

Yeah, I Really Am.

Ok. Good.

Listen. I Got To Go,

But I'Ll Call You

On The Way

To The Airport, Ok?

Ok. I Miss You.

Oh, I Miss You, Too.

Fly Safe, Ok?

Ok.

All Right. Bye.

Bye.

Hi.

Nora.

.

I Can'T Believe It

What Are You

Doing Here?

Well, I'M--I'M Going

To A Sound Expo

At Le Bourget,

But What Are You

Doing Here?

I--I'M Going

To The Airport.

What Time Is

Your Flight?

In 3 Hours.

They Make You Get

To The Airport

So Early Now.

[Man Speaks French]

[Julian Speaks

French]

Merci.

Ok. I Just Want To Ask

What You Are Doing Here.

Did You Come

To See Me?

Because I Don' Understand.

I Like You So Much,

And I Never Hear

Anything From You,

And Then You Are

Just Here

In Front Of Me Now.

Why?

It'S Really

Complicated.

Ok, But Try

To Explain.

I Came Here

To Find You.

Then I Lost

Your Number.

[Sighs]

You Came Here

To See Me?

And You Never

Find Me?

But Then You

Find Me?

And Now You Leave?

So You Like Me?

Yes.

Would You Stay With Me

For Another Drink?

But You Know You'Re

Gonna Miss Your Flight?

I Know.
