Mediterranean Food Page #2

You once asked me for a job.

I have one now.

Do you'?

I want you to work for me.

I just work for myself.

I'll be the maitre

at a four star hotel.

The chef is interesting

and I talked to him about you.

I've been spying on you, I can make

something important out of you.

Can you?

I can make you a great cook.

Isn't this a job for men?

This place is too small for you.

I don't want to be a great cook.

- What, then?

- I want to be the best.

You won't make it without help.

- And that would be you.

- Yes, me.

Lucky you, I'm here.

Come with me.

You won't walk out on me again

on a gas station. Understood?

Calm down.

I'm not offering again.

- Fine.

- Fine.

Here.

Toni...

I wanted to give it to you later,

but I can't wait.

Oh, Toni.

Toni, it's too much.

How much was this?

Let's announce it now,

- in front of everyone.

- You're crazy, Toni, my love,

I can't marry and have children now.

Not now, someday.

I don't know if I want to marry you.

Why not?

We do everything together,

it's as if we were married.

I don't know if I'm ready,

if I'm giving enough.

You make me happy, you feed me,

you give me everything.

- I need to meet other men.

- What for?

When you go shopping, you don't

take the first thing you see.

But I'm the best in the market:

Beef fillet.

- What if I want pork?

- Then I'll be a pig.

I can be whatever you want me to be.

You know I can be dirty.

Toni...

I really love you,

but I need to go

make desert, OK?

You won't wear the ring

so you won't drop it in the desert.

- That's it, right?

- That's it.

So...

Come on, let's say it.

I can see how come you sell

so many houses.

I can't wait. I love you.

I love you.

- I'm going for a shower. Later.

- Later?

Later?

Listen!

Wait a second!

Tonight we'd like

to make a special announcement,

but we'll do that later,

so go on dancing.

What's this?

Sofia!

Sofia! Sofia!

Sofia! Wait, wait!

Your father isn't a fag, OK?

Do you have a light?

- He must be drunk.

- No...

People are one thing,

and your dad is both.

It's usual among men

who spend a long time on a boat.

Don't think I'm unhappy,

because I'm very happy.

I hope Toni will make you

as happy as I am.

- Toni!

- David, drive.

The rest, push.

I can't stand my mum, I can't.

- That's who she is.

- She can only give me recipes.

- It's OK, isn't it?

- No, it isn't.

Whatever I do,

it's never right.

- Come on, let's go.

- Who saved the bar? I did.

What would they do without me?

Are you gonna push or fight?

- Come on.

- Come on.

You know what?

I'm leaving.

I'm leaving this shitty place

- Don't be angry at me.

- But...

- Can I get on?

- Yes, go ahead.

- What about me?

- There's only room for one.

Thanks, Laura.

- Welcome.

- Thanks.

Can you stop crying?

Well, your room...

Do you like it?

Here's your key.

I'll sleep upstairs.

I never lock the door,

come if you need anything.

So you're not sleeping here?

This is a professional relationship,

we don't want to make mistakes.

- Do we?

- No.

Who sleeps here, then?

Hello.

- I'm Nuria.

- Hello.

Pleased to meet you.

This is my bed.

Do you mind...?

Sorry.

- Do you also work in the kitchen?

- No, I'm a waitress.

I would never cook,

it's all men.

- You must be the new one.

- Sofia.

- I don't like people who pull strings.

- OK.

I didn't come for strings.

I'm the second sub chef.

I cook mains without meat.

I'll be your boss.

In case of doubt, ask me.

- Leave the chef alone, he's nasty.

- Is he?

There's trout, monkfish

and sole.

Let's see how you fry,

stew and grill.

Can I use other ingredients?

There's everything you need.

Excuse me.

You might be right.

You didn't come for strings.

Fresh foie grass

and beef with onion sauce.

Beef with orange

and hare with beetroot.

What about the pig's trotters

and the civet?

Grate some carrot and peal

some potatoes.

I've been steaming hake

for sick people for a month.

How can I become the best cook?

Cooking fish in a meat restaurant?

Don't laugh! You promised

the best, and I can't see it!

Where is it?

Get off.

Have you had lots of girlfriends?

- I don't have girlfriends.

- You don't? What, then?

I do my own thing

and don't depend on anyone.

If I wanted you to,

you'd depend on me.

I would become

the love of your life.

Or my death.

- But I won't.

- What?

I like your pretending to be hard.

It's what I like the most

about you.

You came here to learn,

not to play mum and dad.

I didn't come to play with you.

But I don't want you to let me down

with this lousy menu.

- What are you talking about?

- The menu.

There's nothing I can do,

it's the Chef.

You make me leave my town,

my kitchen, my boyfriend, for this?

In this business, one comes first,

then two, then three.

- I was on five.

- You weren't.

I don't even have a number now!

- What are you doing?

- Putting my pajamas on

You use pajamas?

And you use a nightdress,

and it must be downstairs, so...

- Am I sleeping in my bedroom?

- Where else?

So nothing happened.

We f***ed.

We don't need to move in together.

- Fine.

- Fine.

F*** off, Frank.

Sofia, open. It's me.

Toni!

Open up, it's me.

What are doing here?

I told you I wouldn't come,

but I miss you so much,

I had to.

I can't accept living

away from you, do you understand?

Here. It's from your mum.

She keeps fighting

with the new cook.

- How's my dad?

- Better.

He's handling the crutches

and goes to the beach every day.

- You need to come back.

- I can't.

I signed a contract, I can't.

F*** the contract. I love you.

Jesus, you scared me!

Shut up.

Sorry.

Let's go home.

The car's at the front.

- Really?

- Come on.

I need five minutes to pack.

I'll wait at the lobby. Sofia.

I'm crazy about you.

I'm really crazy.

- I'll wait at the lobby.

- OK.

I told you I...

I'm working on you, OK?

I'm investing time and energy

because you're gifted.

But I know how to do things,

you don't,

so we're doing it my way.

I want to sleep!

We can share the room, but we're not

man and wife, we're partners.

- Does that mean no sex?

- No, it doesn't.

OK, you'll help me with the fish.

I'll help you as much as necessary,

but don't push me so hard.

Deal.

Deal. Come on.

Frank,

- I can't go up with you.

- What?

Toni is downstairs.

What's he doing there?

- He wants me back home, with him.

- And you said no.

I said yes. But it was your fault.

Don't push me.

Sorry.

- I'll talk to him.

- No!

You can't talk to him,

he doesn't know you're here.

Let's see...

I told him I had a job,

but didn't tell him it was with you.

Why?

I didn't want him to think

I was following you.

OK.

OK.

Let's see how you manage.

Thanks, I owe you two turns.

Why do I have to come up'?

I've been thinking about it,

and I can't.

You can't'? Why?

Didn't you read your mum's letter?

- What?

- Didn't you read your mum's letter?

I did, but...

I'm learning a lot,

people are amazed with my dishes.

I need to stay, do you understand?
