Love Locks Page #5

Yeah?

Pont Neuf.

Oh, Pont Neuf!

The last love locks bridge.

I hear

they're cutting off the locks.

Yes, tragic.

15 years ago,

James surprised me

with an antique lock,

heart-shaped,

inscribed

with our names.

We were likely the oldest

couple on that bridge.

I thought I'd try to find it

and bring it back with me.

Well, then let's go.

Now?

Yes, now.

What better time?

Oh, but surely,

it would be

a fool's errand.

Then you have

the right man for the job.

Yes, we'll go,

we will find it.

It doesn't matter.

Well, it matters to you.

And besides, I have

a confession to make.

You have a lock

hanging there, too?

The love of my life.

But it was not meant to be.

I'm sorry.

Yes, well,

the time we had was short,

but it was magic.

So, how long

did you and your James

have together?

My whole life.

I envy you both.

Mom? What is it?

Nothing.

Oh, hey!

Bonjour.

Uh, madame?

I am on lunch break,

may I take you

and Alexa to the cafe?

Aw...

That's so sweet,

but, um,

my mom and I have plans.

Thank you, though.

Of course.

Another time.

You know,

you two should go.

No.

Yes.

I have to call Maggie

at the office anyway.

Go.

Are you sure?

Yes, positive. Go!

Okay, here.

And my phone's

charged.

Okay.

How was

sightseeing?

Sightseeing was great.

Oh, what have

you got here?

Oh, yeah...

The cat guy.

Cat guy.

I... left a couple bikes

out there

in case you wanted

to show Alexa the old route.

Oh.

Thanks, but she's

gone off with JP.

Again?

I'm gonna have to put

that guy on a double shift.

Come on, give me a hand.

Thank you, Jack,

this is very thoughtful.

That's me,

monsieur thoughtful.

Help me take

these bike inside

in case you and Alexa want

to take them out later...

Or... we could go.

Now.

We?

Oui.

All right, you know what,

just give me a sec,

I've got to make

a quick phone call.

All right, here we go.

Right up here.

What do you mean?

The bikes will be fine.

You sure?

Yeah.

Come on.

Jack,

isn't it closed?

Come on.

What have you got

up your sleeve?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

I won't even ask

how you made this happen.

Let's just say I have

friends in low places.

Hmm, so

nothing's changed.

Nope.

The first time

we came here,

you thought "monet"

was a champagne.

It isn't?

Thank you for

bringing me here.

You know, it was always

so crowded before,

I never really saw these.

It's all part

of the Paris experience.

Hmm,

you do this

for all your guests?

Yeah, of course.

Later this afternoon, I'll be

closing down the louvre

for a ping pong tournament.

No, come on,

I've never brought

a guest back here.

I've never brought

anyone back here.

I'm honored.

What?

Nothing.

Just, looking at you, uh...

I wanted to say three words.

What three words?

"Ooh la la."

"Life is the art of drawing

without an eraser."

Who said that?

You did.

What? I mean...

If I said that,

I was probably just

quoting Hugo or something.

Yeah, well,

it stayed.

I mean, I've made

a few decisions

I wish I could erase.

Who hasn't had those?

What happened to those

two people that were us?

Life, I guess.

I thought for sure

I'd be married by now,

with a couple kids,

a dog, maybe two.

Really?

Yeah, one day, but...

"One day" never happened.

Yet.

You know, maybe

you're placing too much

expectation on "one day."

Nah. Mm-mm.

It's your fault.

You're a hard act to follow.

Obviously, not that hard,

because you didn't follow... me.

Where's that eraser

when you need it?

Pardon, monsieur?

Oh. Yeah, okay.

Come on,

we gotta go.

No, they're...

They're gonna

wax the floors.

Come on.

Lindsey, come on!

Yeah, and have it by then.

We should have

the contracts signed...

Merci.

By Monday.

Perfect.

That is great.

Okay.

Lindsey!

Trent?

I wanted

to surprise you.

Well, you-you did.

What a surprise.

Your assistant said

you were staying here,

and I thought

it would be convenient.

Wow...

How-how great.

- You look beautiful.

- Thank you.

Come, let's have a drink.

Great, okay.

Come on.

All right, well,

take care of his bags,

I guess.

Throw them

in the street?

Yeah.

I'm kidding.

Bring 'em in.

Right this way,

just watch your step.

There we go.

Oops, sorry, it's, uh,

a little narrow in here.

And we're just back here.

Here we are.

Grab that, thanks.

Okay...

Voila, huh?

Huh...

This is cozy.

Where should I put this?

Uh, the hallway?

Can't you find him

a better room?

Yeah, uh, no, sorry,

we're all booked up.

Valentine's Day.

That's not

for a while yet.

Ah, well, you know Paris,

any excuse to celebrate love.

Thank you, sir.

Um...

On the chance that

you're free tonight,

I did make us reservations

for the three of us

at the St. germain.

Oh, man,

I can't make it.

I'm so sorry, I'm working

the front desk tonight.

I meant Lindsey

and her daughter.

Oh...

Duh, of course, you did.

I'm sorry about that.

Um, anything else

I can help you with?

We're good,

thank you.

Uh, you know what,

that's fine.

You're gonna need it

if you're going to St. germain,

and if I were you,

I would not order the fish.

Great, thank you

very much.

Excuse me,

tight fit.

Okay...

This is something, huh?

Wow, this room is so small...

I'm not even sure it's a room.

You know, I've been

in smaller.

Really?

Never.

So, I hope it's

all right that I'm here.

I just thought

it was really

the perfect opportunity

to show you

our Paris office.

You are persistent.

Well...

Maybe, um,

maybe after dinner?

Hold on one second.

Yup. Trent.

Mm-hmm.

Well, I mean, it's not

a great time, but, uh...

You know, we...

Yeah, no, it's okay.

Sorry, hold on...

It's okay...

Mm-hmm. Yup, mm-hmm.

Uh, well, you tell them

when I'm back

in the states that...

Hugo...

Bonsoir, Nicholas.

Please...

Merci.

Well, I'm sorry

that we couldn't find your lock.

Here, let me.

Thank you.

It was good of you

to indulge me.

I don't know

what I was thinking.

Well, you were

thinking about love,

which does strange things

to everyone.

So maybe I go back

to the bridge,

and I take a flashlight

and bolt cutters.

No, if you do,

you'll be arrested.

Well, it won't be

the first time.

Oh, dear.

It makes me happy

when you laugh.

It's been a while.

How long has it been

since you've had a...

A decadent, uh...

Meal?

Dessert.

Nicholas!

Chocolat!

Oui, monsieur.

Tout de suite.

You will love this.

I'm really sorry that

Alexa couldn't join us.

Merci.

Well, she didn't

want to intrude,

and also,

she's busy falling

in love with someone

she's only known

two days.

Well, who hasn't

done that, right?

Are you trying

to sweep me off my feet

so you can get

my magazine?

Please tell me it's working.

One foot's

off the ground.

To the other foot.

Oh.

You are good.

Lindsey, how about

we don't talk business tonight?

Oh. Oh...

Oh, so this would be a...

Some might

call it a "date."

Right,

one of those.

Or not...

No, no, no, we could...

No, we could
