Can I take some samples?

Only with a purchase.

- A little more lipstick?

- Sure.

Thank you.

- What are you doing here?

- I stopped by to say hi.

You look like a whore.

Can I have a menu, please?

No, the fridge is full at home!

How you talk to me!

Bring me a menu. I'm not going home.

I have the right to eat, don't I?

I'll eat and go.

And a Martini, please!

Dream on!

- What's the matter?

- Nothing.

A customer's giving me sh*t.

Which one?

- 'Night, Mum.

- Where you going?

Justin wants a steak

at the Buffalo Grill.

Nice dress. I've never seen that.

Come here.

It's gorgeous.

You look beautiful.

Justin, don't you think

she deserves better than a grill?

- Don't get lipstick on me.

- I can't even kiss her anymore.

I have something for you.

A finishing touch.

What did I do with it?

I have to pause it.

I'm making a Brazilian tape

for Patrice.

If he can even listen to it, now that

the cops towed away his car.

- Mum, we're late.

- Two seconds.

There!

You can make a pretty bandana.

It's great with your dress.

Okay, see you later.

- Sleeping here?

- I don't think so.

- Have fun.

- You, too.

- Bye.

- Bye, Justin.

Oh, Esmerelda!

I have a job interview tomorrow!

Cool!

I think I'll go to bed early.

It's at the candy store.

She's at that ungrateful age.

She's 22! She's not a kid anymore.

That's what depresses me.

She's an adult.

She knows her mind

and doesn't like me.

Don't say that.

I feel like she avoids me.

We never eat together,

we have nothing to share.

It all started

when we moved to Tourcoing.

We always used to be inseparable.

In Guadeloupe, it was great!

Sure, she had friends.

But after school,

we'd go to the beach together.

The problem is,

in Tourcoing, the beach...

Who cares about the beach?

We were close.

Yeah, I got that.

The truth is, I've got to find a job

and settle down.

It's been ages

since I gave her anything and...

Even if she has a boyfriend,

I should spoil her,

show her I can take care of her.

I put a quarter in the juke box

hours ago!

Give it time.

Anyway, I'm crossing my fingers.

I think I may have found something.

How did your job interview go?

Was it real estate?

A fiasco!

It was selling what they call

"timeshare" apartments.

I'd have had to move to Ostende...

Without a car, I'm limited.

I couldn't.

Who cares? You'll find something.

We've got what it takes

to find something.

Finally!

Don't be mad. I'm dying to dance!

Then I'll take you home.

Patrice, stop!

We're going Dutch! You always pay!

Don't start, Babou.

Let's just say it's for the tape.

Even if I've got no player.

- What's up, Babou?

- Do I ask you questions?

Sh*t.

I came miles for your chocolates.

Thank you, that's nice.

I'd given up on you.

I'm sorry, my car broke down.

And the bus took forever.

Anyway, I'm here.

How can I rely on someone

who's late for a job interview?

It'll never happen again.

I'm very punctual.

Fine, but no. I'm sorry.

please...

You're an hour and a half late.

I'm not hiring you.

And look at your hair!

Well, I ran here.

That's not my problem. We had

an appointment and you weren't here.

You're responsible for your actions.

Anyway, my response is based on that.

Have a nice day.

Excuse me.

Have you tried our new specialty?

They're cookies

with cocoa and slivered almonds.

What?

I don't believe this.

Are you crazy? She's nuts!

Hello!

Come on, sweetie.

Let's walk, okay?

Excuse me? You don't need

a nanny, by any chance?

No, I'm the nanny.

"I'm the nanny."

A concierge who rings your bell

and asks for a Christmas gift?

No way! It's up to the tenant!

Slip her an envelope,

if she deserves it.

Come on, Patrice.

She doesn't do sh*t.

Your building's a pit.

Last week we even had

to put the garbage out.

Am I tripping?

Say, "Take 10 out of 20

and give me change."

You're nice but you got taken!

Hold on.

What is it, Esme?

I'm free for dinner tomorrow,

if you are.

I'll call you back.

Sure, I'd love to!

- Okay, see you tomorrow.

- See you tomorrow.

Hugs to Justin.

Find something?

No, they stripped the section.

Just the dregs are left.

How to Cook Offal,

So what'd you get?

Indian Flavors

It's specific.

I'll make do

but ingredients will be hard to find.

I always had a recipe file

on my travels...

in Israel, Spain. But I've moved

so much I can't find it.

Hey, this doesn't look bad!

I'll just substitute

shrimp for the squid.

Squid's great.

You can get it cheap, frozen.

Esme doesn't like squid.

I'm glad things are better.

I was just venting.

Her boyfriend's the problem.

It'll never work.

She'll dump him one day.

He's so serious. Kind of a pain.

Quiet!

Some people are trying to work.

Serious.

- Hi.

- That means "welcome" in Indian.

You see,

I planned a thematic evening.

A cocktail to start.

Thank you.

Excuse me,

I've got something on the stove.

Saris are nice

but impractical for frying.

- Did you have a nice day?

- Not bad.

But I flunked my Latin test.

Why do you have to take Latin

when you're a contemporary lit major?

Ask my advisor.

I'm sure she'd love your advice.

You're dumb.

Is this invite for tonight?

You wanna go?

I thought we might stop by,

if we're still awake.

In that getup?

It's more elegant

than the local riffraff.

I have a phonetics class at 8 AM.

I'm not going nightclubbing.

Next time.

Cheers.

I couldn't find cardamom

at the discount store.

- I've been wanting to talk to you.

- Have some more.

You're not listening.

Yes, I am.

You've been wanting to talk to me.

Justin and I

have decided to get married.

please, don't start.

I didn't say anything.

Exactly.

I can see that look on your face.

You're not happy. Is that it?

Mum, we've thought it over.

I know you think

it's bourgeois and superficial.

But it's important to us.

We want to do it and...

we've made our decision.

Don't you think you're a bit young

to get married?

If you'd been around

and needed stability,

I could understand.

I've been around plenty with you!

After all you put me through,

can't I settle down?

All I put you through!

You'd think I had you robbing banks.

Let's not rehash old times.

All your schlepping around

got me a sh*t education.

Now I want to change all that.

I want a normal life,

I want to have a family.

Can't you understand?

I understand

but I think it's a shame.

I tried to open you up to the world

and now

you shut yourself in, as if...

We're getting married near Amiens.

Justin's parents found a nice place

to have a party after church.

It's a church wedding, too!

Justin and his parents are into that.

I don't mind.

Have you picked a date?

When I visited his parents.

You could have consulted me.

Justin's parents wanted to call you

but I told them you were in Brazil.

Pardon?

They wanted you to chip in,

so I said you'd gone to Rio.

Now you won't have to pay anything.

I'm a big girl. I can say

I'm broke and irresponsible.
