[ Door Buzzes]
Buongiorno. Prego.
Buongiorno.
Buongiorno.
Buongiorno.
Buongiorno, sorella.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I am Paolo Moretti,
and I welcome you on board
of our tour of Paris,
which, by the way, is a city that
was founded by the Romans...
in 54 Before Christ.
I will be giving you
the true story,
and not some old, boring
In fact, Paris is the most
Italian city outside of Italy.
[Speaking German ]
Ja.
Ja.
[ Beeps, Chimes]
[ Intercom Chimes]
[ Beeps ]
Oh!

This is the Arc de Triomphe.
It was built in 1836...
and is, of course,
modeled after the Roman...
triumphal arches
that still stand in Rome.
It's not really a very good
copy of the Italian arches.
I mean, it's a- Well, I wouldn't
say anything to the French,
because they like their arches very
much, and they would feel really bad...
if they knew
this is a poor copy.
But if you really wanna see a
beautiful arch, you must go to Italy.
[Chuckling ]
[ Man ]
I Oh, last stop Paris
I Looks like I'm here to stay .P
Looks like
I'm here to stay I
Check this out.
What is it, a mobile disco?
It's an engagement ring,
idiot.
Paolo, I am overwhelmed.
I mean, I must
call my parents at once.
I didn't think I'd get married
It's for Greta.
Well, I do hope
we can be friends still,
because I think what we had
together was very special.
Grazie.
[ In English ]
Does it feel hot in here?
Um, it might be
a little warm, yes.
No, I mean,
like, really hot--
like, uh, sweltering,
suffocating hot, like a sauna.
Like you can barely breathe.
No?
Maybe some cold water?
Yeah. Good idea.
Hmm?
Now I'm sweating.
So, I was thinking,
like, uh,
when you have a baby,
like the baby is sleeping,
and you want to
go for a pizza,
like the last minute,
right,
you just can't
do it anymore, right?
They deliver.
Ah.
Ah, they deliver.
Okay, Greta,
We've been living together
for three years, no?
So-
Two months, 11 days,
seven hours
and four minutes.
You have an app in your phone that tells
you how long you lived with a man?
No, not with a man.
Only you.
I got it after we met
on the Rome flight...
because I knew that I would
never have to reset it.
That's nice.
Let's see.
- I have something to ask you.
- Mmm!
But I can't really breathe,
I can't catch my breath.
Paolo,
take long, deep breaths,
and then ask
your question, hmm?
[ Breathing Deeply]
Very good.
And now we need to
get organized here.
Is there maybe something
you wanted to give me?
Yes.
Yes.
- I know. I'm sorry.
[ Diners Murmuring ]
Push the button.
It's beautiful.
May I?
Aspetta.
Greta, you are my life,
and I want to ask you,
with all my heart,
if you will marry me
and be my wife.
This is how much I love you.
Now?
Yeah.
I would be very, very happy
to marry you, Paolo.
It's such
a beautiful restaurant here,
and it's so lovely of you to
bring me here to propose to me.
But would you
maybe prefer pizza?
Yes.
Yes.
They deliver.
[Video Game Sound Effects
] [ Paolo] No. Why?
[ Greta]
Why? Why?
Why this motorcycle?
Why? Why? Why?
- Who are these people?
- Okay, pause. Pause.
- No, no.
- Pause.
Ready?
Mm-hmm.
Okay, go.
Go.
By. Nice.
Still no by.
Who's this?
Yes!
I don't like
this game anymore.
Because you're bad.
And I'm good.
And now-
Mm-hmm?
Talk to me in Italian, please.
Come on.
Work that Roman magic on me.
I'm not from Rome.
I'm from Palermo.
I heard about that.
And now let's hear some Italian.
I don't want to
talk Italian.
Talk to me in German.
Yeah, right.
What?
Paolo, seriously.
You can't make love in German.
Why not? I mean, like, German people
make love in German all the time, no?
The only thing you can do in German is make
sure everything is in the proper order.
Eins, zwei, drei, vier,
and then you come together.
Well, I don't want to
talk Italian.
[ Groans ]
Talk to me in German. I'm tired
of talking Italian all the time.
Say some beautiful
German words. Come on.
I don't know what I'd say.
Just say the first thing that
comes to your mind, please.
Okay.
More German.
Louder. Louder.
Louder? Okay.
[ Speaking Italian ]
Ooh.
Ah!
He)', guys.
Formidable.
Show me.
Ah. One minute,
s'il te plaTt.
There is a diamond
there somewhere. Yes?
That's not just
the reflection of the light?
You're impossible.
Paolo is a bus driver.
He saved a year for this.
I was just joking,chrie.
It's a beautiful ring.
And I couldn't be happier
that you're in love.
All marriages should start
out this way, uh, before-
- Before what? - Nothing. You
should enjoy it while it lasts.
Especially with an Italian.
[Speaking Italian ]
Did I tell you
you look radiant today?
Really.
You're lit up with love, chfle.
- Why is he doing this?
- He's French. He can't help it.
They think
they invented love.
Uh, it's true. We did.
They don't call it
German kissing, do they?
Frangois, I'm horribly sorry
I ever showed you the ring.
You need help.
Okay.
Um, Want to have a drink
with me when we get to--
Where are we going
today, Fritz?
Munich, I think.
[Speaks French ]
Munich.
So how about
a drink in Munich?
J" [Jazz]
[Woman]
I I made up my mind
I Leave it all
back far behind I
X Gonna be dead by me X
[ Bicycle Bell Rings]
[ Bell Clangs]
I I said no trouble
or grief gonna be .P
I mean, I had to literally, like,
guide him through the whole proposal.
You guarded him? No, I didnt guard him.
l guided him.
Ah.
[Chattering ]
I worry about you
and Paolo,chrie.
You do?
Uh-huh.
Why? Because men prefer
women who are, um-
How shall I put this?
More French.
No, Frangois. You prefer
women who are "more French,"
and who will say "Oui, mon amour.
Oui, oui, oui."
And they're gonna put their
