French Kiss Page #7

Synopsis: Kate and Charlie have a perfect life planned out before them: buying a house, marriage, kids, the whole works. Kate's fear of flying keeps her in Canada while Charlie goes to Paris for a medical convention. While there Charlie is smitten by the lovely Juliette. He calls off the wedding with Kate and she nervously boards a plane to get him back. She ends up sitting next to the petty French thief Luc Teyssier. He hides a stolen necklace and smuggled grape vine in her bag to get it through customs. Her bag is stolen, the necklace apparently lost, and Kate and Luc head to Cannes -- Luc to find the necklace and Kate get Charlie back. Along the way, Kate and Luc begin having feelings for each other -- which change the course of their lives.

I mean, when do I

tell him that...

That you love only him...

And still you want him.

You will know the moment.

You will tell him,

and that will be that.

You know what I am

going to do for you

to ensure victory?

What's that?

Juliette.

Juliette?

She will be feeling

a little sad tonight...

A little angry...

A little vulnerable.

I will find her, and I will...

Comfort her.

Well, I wouldn't want you

to do anything too unpleasant.

I do it for you.

Well, what about your little...

My little problem

will not be such

a problem tonight.

Suddenly, I'm feeling

like you, relaxed.

I will go to her.

I will find her

and talk to her...

Let's just dance.

I keep the bonsai.

The lamp we got

in New York is yours.

The living room love seat...

Tell me if you

think this is crazy.

Right down the middle

with a chain saw!

Make two chairs.

Can we not talk about this?

It's depressing, isn't it?

It's business,

the business of breaking up.

If you can't handle it,

I can sell everything and

send you half the cash.

You must hate me.

I don't. The CDs

will be tough, though.

Why don't you just

let me have them?

You don't hate me?

No. Oh, I did, Charlie.

I really did, but...

Now...

No.

Kate.

I...

Oh, sweetie, are you crying?

No.

No, no. I... I'm...

You know, I just feel

so totally, horribly guilty.

Listen, don't feel guilty,

because then I'll start

feeling guilty

that I made you feel

guilty, and...

You know...

Actually, that was the old me.

Just feel guilty. Swim in it

till your fingers

get all pruny.

You're amazing.

You really are.

Kate.

Will you dance with me?

Just...

One last dance?

Please?

You're right about his chin.

Sometimes I want to hit it.

He's a waste of your time.

No, he's wonderful...

so tender.

Not like a French man.

You know what I mean?

Yes, I understand.

How could he do this to me?

When I was younger...

this wouldn't have happened.

He would be with me in my room

and she would wait all night.

I can imagine.

Look at me, please.

Tell me what you see.

You seem so different...

But the same.

It's like somebody

turned a light on

inside you.

Why wasn't it me?

Is something wrong?

No, in fact everything is fine.

Wait a second.

Please forgive me.

I must have been insane.

Luc...

Oh, Kate...

What did you just say?

I said "Kate."

Oh, Kate!

Stop.

Yeah. Oh, darling.

Charlie...

I said... Stop!

What?

Charlie...

What? What?

Why wasn't it you who

turned on the light...

The big shining Kate light

that burns so bright now

that you can't resist dumping

your new girlfriend

for your old one?

What?

wanted was Juliette.

Juliette? I...

She's wonderful...

Exciting.

And...

When I met her,

I wasn't thinking.

Sometimes you just do things.

You don't think about them.

You just need to do them,

do what you're feeling.

Maybe... Maybe I was

just... I was afraid,

afraid of where we were headed.

You know? I was afraid

of getting married.

Charlie?

You weren't afraid of

getting married to her.

You know, no matter what

I might seem like tonight,

it's still the same

old me from yesterday

you'd wind up with tomorrow...

The same old me

who wants the home

and the family,

who wants to plant some roots

and see them grow.

You want to be a farmer?

Sorry.

There's just one thing

I don't want anymore.

I'm sorry, Charlie.

Yeah, it's open.

Good morning.

So how did it go?

What happened?

Well, he wants to come back.

Congratulations.

What about you?

The old bull back in business?

We better get going.

Cartier is waiting.

Merci.

Everything as you said.

The egg?

Nest egg.

It was wired from

your bank in Toronto,

and Cartier's agreed

to issue the check

in exchange.

The illusion is complete.

Thank you.

Why are you doing this?

You're not with Luc.

You will probably

never see him again.

I don't know.

I must come to Canada someday.

You are a very

sympathetic people.

Well, I'm not

really a Canadian.

In fact, I'm...

Currently without country.

Just out of curiosity...

What is it worth?

I would say

over $100,000.

What do... Do... Do...

This is not possible!

Wha...

Why did I listen to you

and your little walk and...

He said there was a flaw.

- A flaw?

- Some flaws.

Some flaws?

Right. He said they're

beautiful diamonds,

but officially,

there are these flaws.

Sorry.

It's OK.

It's OK?

It is not as much

as I was hoping,

but it is enough

to buy the land

and to start the planting.

It will take longer,

maybe six years

before we have a decent bottle,

but...

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

You're my angel of luck.

Who would have thought it?

I have to go...

'Cause Charlie's waiting.

No, I... I love you!

I had dinner with her...

Why don't you go back to her?

You went up to the room

like a freed stri...

Juliette!

Love, it's wonderful.

What are you doing here?

Some guy paid his hotel bill

with a stolen credit card.

I've taken care of it.

That's not true love.

What do you know?

Would you like to hear

a true love story?

I know a good one.

Really?

Does it have a happy ending?

I don't know.

Maybe you can help with the ending.

Me?

Yes.

Imagine... an airplane.

Kate?

Yes?

You are not afraid

to fly anymore?

You are thinking of your

little stone cottage?

It's on a hillside next

to a beautiful vineyard.

But that's not really

what I'm thinking about.

What are you thinking about?

You.

And I am thinking...

You should not

be flying anywhere.

I shouldn't?

In fact, I am sure of it.

You are?

I am thinking...

I want you...

You want me...

That's all.

I want you.

Hold Me Close

And Hold Me Fast

The Magic Spell You cast

This Is La vie en rose

When You Kiss Me

Heaven Sighs

And Though I close my eyes

I See La vie en rose

When You Press Me

To Your Heart

And In A World Apart

A World Where roses bloom

And When You Speak

Angels Sing From Above

Everyday Words Seems

To Turn Into Love's Song

Give

Your Heart And soul to me

And Life Will Always Be

La Vie En Rose

Luc, sing that song again.

What song?

The Bobby Darin song.

It's not Bobby Darin.

Yeah, the Bobby Darin song.

Charles Trenet.

No. Somewhere Beyond the sea...

No, no, no. La Mer.

It is La Mer.

Well, maybe your guy

covered it for Bobby.

No. It is a French song.

Could you just sing the song?
