Love Locks Page #2

I can't believe

you never came back.

Well, I am now.

Bienvenue

a Pierre du calvet.

Thank you.

Wow.

I guess this is us.

It's so us!

It's perfect!

Of course it is,

Hugo picked it.

I like him already.

Welcome to Paris.

Merci.

I mean, really?

Already?

We just landed.

Bonjour.

Bonjour.

Bienvenue a l'hotel

Pierre du calvet.

Merci, quel bel hotel.

Merci.

Nous avons une reservation

au nom de Wilson,

s'il vous plait?

Impressive.

Why is your French

better than mine?

Maybe because you stopped

in the 12th grade?

Not to worry.

Our staff

speaks English.

Yes. Your friend,

monsieur Hugo,

had you upgraded to a suite.

How nice. Thank you.

Unfortunately,

it won't be ready

for a few hours.

Oh, we don't need a room,

we're in Paris!

Pas de probleme.

Hey, where to first?

Arc de triomphe,

place de la concorde...

The louvre?

Or we could save the louvre

for our last day together?

Ah! Can you please

not use the phrase

"last day together"?

You're not allowed

to be sad yet.

We have almost

a week left.

Four days.

96 hours and counting.

Yeah, we can do

a lot in four days.

We should go to

the "love locks" bridge.

It's supposed to be

so romantic.

It's just a bridge.

With locks.

Yeah, but those locks

are people pledging

their love for each other.

Yeah,

and how many

of those people

are still

together today?

All of them,

in some way.

You're

such a romantic.

Yeah, well,

everyone's supposed

to fall in love

in Paris, right?

Yeah.

Until they go back

to their real lives.

C'est ouvert!

Bonjour, Ricardo!

Put the paint anywhere,

just don't make a mess

like the last...

Charming as ever.

- Hugo...

- Lindsey...

Mon coeur.

Alexa!

My new protegee.

Oh, "protegee".

Now I can only

disappoint you.

Oh, well, you'll

only disappoint me

if you stop painting,

like your mother.

I just took a little

time off, that's all.

What, 20 years?

I painted my apartment.

Navajo white, ecru trim.

Oh, ecru, ecru...

You have learned

nothing from me, huh?

It's livable,

and neutral.

Neutral?

Neutral is

the color of the canvas

before you

put on the paint.

I couldn't

agree more.

And thank you for recommending

me to the program.

Oh, well,

I promise you

you will love

the university,

and my class

will be your favorite.

And until you move

into the dorms,

I hope that the hotel

accommodations are good?

We love it.

And thank you

for the upgrade.

Who did you bribe?

Well, I am a friend

of the manager.

Same old Hugo.

You know half of Paris.

Well, how else

shall I sell my work?

Wow.

Is it possible

you've gotten better?

Well, I'm like a fine wine.

This is amazing!

Here, come,

I'll show you.

How about this one?

The love locks bridge.

It's beautiful.

Why isn't it finished?

Well, ask your mother.

This is yours?

I can't believe

you kept it.

Well, this could be

your best work,

if you finished.

Some things are better off

left unfinished.

Well, maybe you'll finish it

while you're here.

Don't count on it.

We'll see.

So, you're staying

for my show?

We wouldn't miss it.

Whoa...

I'm never going to be able

to go to a dorm after this.

I'm never going to be able

to go back to anything

after this.

I think

I'm already in love!

What?

'Lex?

'Lex?

Alexa?

I've always wanted

to visit New York.

I've always wanted

to come here.

How long

you are staying?

For a semester,

at the sorbonne.

I'm there, too.

Third year.

Oh, what are you studying?

Mathematics.

You?

Art.

I love art.

I love math.

Really?

Uh...

I mean, I could.

I could love math.

I have a day off tomorrow.

Maybe I could

show you around?

Oh, I'd love that,

but I'm going to be with my mom.

She's going through

this whole empty nest thing.

Empty nest?

You mean, um...

Comme un oiseau?

Uh, like a-a bird?

Um, it's more like a...

Like a raptor guarding an egg.

I'm not sure I understand.

Me neither, but...

I love her.

- Excuse me.

- Yes?

I seem to have

lost my daughter.

Oh, my.

Well, how old

is the child?

Actually...

Ah, well, not lost then,

just being 18.

That's what I'm afraid of.

I did see a young woman

heading out to the courtyard

with Jean Paul.

Jean Paul?

Bellhop?

Yes, yes,

I think he does

a little of everything

around here.

He's a lovely young man.

- Thank you.

- Mm-hmm.

Alexa?

Hi, mom!

This is Jean Paul.

Madame,

you need not to worry

about your nest.

My what?

Uh...

Enjoy your evening.

Aw, you

scared him away.

Please, if he scares

that easily,

he's not for you.

And you know that how?

Because, sweetie,

he lives in Paris,

and chances are,

if you start something now,

it'll end

in three months.

End?

It hasn't begun.

I know you think

I'm just your mom,

but I was you once.

And what happens

if you fall in love

with Jean Paul?

- I just met him.

- Exactly.

The semester will be over,

you'll go home,

you'll never see him again,

and Paris

will be ruined for you,

and all this excitement

you're feeling right now,

it'll all

be ruined, too,

because everything will

remind you of him.

Okay, look,

I don't know what's going on

with you right now,

maybe it's

the jet lag.

Um, I'm going to go

get ready for dinner,

and you should

go to the bar,

get yourself

a nice glass of wine,

and remind yourself that...

I'm an adult.

Excuse me,

I'll have a glass

of white wine, please?

Uh, yeah, we actually

have a very nice...

Lindsey?

Jack?

What are you doing here?

I'm... pouring you a drink.

You're the bartender?

Actually... I own the place.

Hugo didn't mention

this was your hotel.

Yeah, I guess that's why

he just called me

out of the blue.

I didn't recognize

your last name.

It's my married name.

Oh, congratulations.

We're divorced.

Condolences.

Thank you, and thank you.

So, what are you doing here?

Dropping my daughter off

at school.

You have a daughter.

Alexa.

She's studying art.

Wow.

Like mother, like daughter.

You have kids?

Oh, no, no, no.

Um, it's just me and the hotel.

It's a nice place.

Yeah. Yeah,

it, uh,

it's been a little while.

Going on 10 years.

You cut your hair.

That's been going on

about 20 years.

You...

You look...

Older?

Uh, I was going to say

beautiful.

Oh.

Thank you.

Oh, my goodness,

you look just like

your mother.

Alexa, this is Jack.

He's, um...

I'm an old friend.

Nice to meet you.

Funny that

you never mentioned him.

I'm sure I did.

No. You didn't.

Well, it was a long,

long time ago.

Well, yeah, but it feels

like it was yesterday.

Well, it's late.

Actually, it's 8:00.

Uh, it's late

in New York.

Well, uh, it's earlier

in New York...

Great seeing you!

All right, well, you'll be

seeing a lot more of me,

since if you want extra towels,

I'm your guy!

We have to move hotels.

Why? I like this hotel.

You'll adjust.

No, I just unpacked.

We're not moving hotels.

So re-pack.

Who is he?

Just...

Someone I used to know

from the sorbonne.

He was finishing up

his degree,
