I got in the mail.

That's not smart.

They want to keep you in debt.

I know that.

I see documentaries.

Good for you, kid.

I lived there for a year.

- You never told me that. - Yep. I was there

when Serge Gainsbourg died.

- It was a crazy time.

- Weren't you, like, eight?

- Yeah, it was the end of Euro-disco.

- I have so much to do.

I think I'll probably read Proust...

because sometimes it's good to do what

you're supposed to when you're supposed to.

Proust is pretty heavy.

- It's worth it, I hear. - I meant the

book-carrying it on the plane.

I should probably

learn French first...

and then read it in French.

Undateable.

Well, kid, we've gotta run.

- Nice meeting you.

- Oh, you too. You're very pretty.

- Thank you.

- See you around, weirdo.

[Cell Phone Ringing]

- Hello?

- [Sophie] Frances?

Sophie!

Oh, my God! Hi! Hi!

- Hi.

- Hi.

I called you to tell you

I'm moving to Japan with Patch.

Is that good?

Are you excited?

I know things are weird

between us, but...

we're having a kind

of going-away party tonight...

and I wanted to say

you're invited.

I'm -

- I can't.

- You don't have to lie.

I'm not lying.

I'm really not.

- That's awesome about Japan.

- It's crazy.

Last week Patch's boss

called Patch into his office...

and was like,

"Japan, b*tch. "

I wish I could come tonight.

Me too.

- We could get dinner next week.

- Why now? No, I want to...

but Patch's grandfather

is real sick...

and we're all going to Chicago

for these special treatments.

Being sick when you're rich

is totally awesome.

They replace all his cells

or something.

We'll be back to New York a lot.

We'll just be based in Tokyo.

- You'll learn Japanese. - We can

videochat. Twenty-first century. What up?

- My computer doesn't have that.

- New places are good for you.

- Yeah.

- You should travel, Fran.

I am. I will.

I'm going to.

I'm really happy for you.

I just -

No, you know What?

I'm just really happy for you.

- We're gonna have a blog.

- Together?

Yeah. Barf.

We'll upload pictures

and stories and stuff.

I'm so sorry I missed

your Christmas show.

- I guess I was mad.

- I didn't -

I wasn't so good anyway.

How's all that going?

Good. Great.

I'm meeting on Monday

with Colleen to talk about stuff.

You'll finally be in the company?

For real?

Yeah. I'll probably

be touring, though.

That's so great, Fran.

Yeah, it is.

Where are you living? I heard

you're not with the boys anymore.

Hey, do you want to live

in our apartment while we're in Japan?

No, I- No.

I'm gonna have

my own place real soon.

Maybe one day

I'll stay with you.

Maybe.

I should go.

Thanks for calling.

I'm - I'm sor- I'm sorry too.

- Apology accepted. - Don't

be a dick about it. - I wasn't.

- This phone call's costing me a fortune.

- Why?

Just kidding. It's not.

Hey, Is Abby in Paris night now,

do you know?

- I think so.

- Okay.

- You sound really good, Frances.

- I am.

I am really good.

Thank you for calling.

I'm going to say something now...

but I don't want you to

feel obligated to say...

...anything back, so I'm

gonna hang up right away.

I love you, Sophie. Bye.

Hello. When did

Puss in Boots start?

- Everyone's a winner, baby

That's the truth. That's the truth

Making love to you

is such a thrill

Everyone's a winner, baby

- That's no lie

- That's no lie

You never fail

To satisfy

- Satisfy

- Let's do it again

[Alarm Beeping]

Do it again

[Woman] Hi, Frances.

Honey, we just got your messages.

I don't know why

they didn't come through before.

We're here.

We'd love to see you.

This is so wild.

You remember Gerard,

Nicolas' brother?

The one who looks like

Jean-Pierre Laud?

[Chuckles] Well, he's divorced now,

and hes staying with us.

I think you'd really like him.

Come to dinner tonight.

He'll be there,

as well as a philosopher...

and a painter couple

who are really great.

Oh! This is such good timing.

Hey, you. Come on in.

- Rachel said you were in Paris.

- I was.

- Back so soon?

- Well, we had this meeting.

We could've moved it.

I mean, I almost canceled it...

myself this morning.

I woke up with this tickle

in my throat.

Listen, do you want

to take over Nancy's position?

- Nancy, who works in the office?

- She 3 pregnant.

Oh. No, I don't.

Who told you that?

No, I'm asking you.

I assumed you're not

keeping on with the company.

- You don't want to be an

apprentice for life. - Nope.

You should think about putting

your own stuff together.

- Like how?

- Like, your own work.

Oh, no. I kind of

gave that up after college.

Plus, that was basically like...

cheerleaders

doing my choreography.

- I always liked the stuff you did,

even for the kids. - Yeah?

You really should think

about taking Nancy's position.

It's not a lot of money,

but it's enough to keep you going.

- Why would I do that?

- It's just a good day job...

while you figure out whether

you want to choreograph.

- You say it like it's easy.

- No, it's not easy.

But if you work here,

you can use the studio space.

No.

I'll get something else.

I'm really close to getting something.

- A job? - Yeah. Dancing. I'm still

gonna be a dancer. Just not here.

Wow! Well, good for you.

That's great.

I know.

Well, good luck to you,

Frances.

Yeah.

Good luck to you too.

- [Frances] Hi Mom.

- [Mother] Hi honey.

- [Frances] H1i Mom.

- Tom, pick up the other phone.

- How is it up there?

- Good. Good.

I I'm dancing, kind of

I get to live in a dorm

I didn't live in, which is fun.

- All the RAs live in dorms. - Not the one

in the living room. The battery is dead.

- Is it strange to be back?

- It's nice.

It's so empty in summer.

It's weird. It's like

I went back to college...
