because it needs improvements.

- Money's not a problem.

- So?

I like Gambinos.

The keys are at my office.

Let's go see it right now.

Are you interested?

Do you want to see it?

- Now?

- Yes, now.

We should redo the dining room.

Let's go see it.

- Yes.

- Frank...

Let's

- Sofia.

- What?

- Are you coming?

- Me? I'm feeding the baby.

Fine, then.

Frank buys the Gambinos.

Toni stays with my brothers.

Sofia goes where Franks says,

but without him, as Toni wants.

Big sins in cuisine are lust,

the superficial and the unnecessary.

Simplicity is very hard to get.

My mum realizes the secret

of French cuisine is pretending.

The first exercise

is for you to watch us eat.

Andre-'s meals are a ceremony

where every cook cooks in secret

for the others to guess the author.

Alexandre.

Yes.

Michelon.

David.

Joel.

What are you going to do with that?

Sofia was born here,

and I'm taking it.

I calculated the amount of hair

I cut in my life.

Three thousand kilos.

- Are you coming for lunch?

- No, I'm not hungry.

I'll give the money back

as soon as possible.

- You don't have to.

- Well...

I'm going to play petanque.

Give me that.

- Is everything OK?

- No,

I fired the construction workers.

And hit them too.

The reformations are stopped.

Can you recommend someone?

- Things don't fit.

- What'?

If the restaurant's success

is going to be Sofia,

- she should own 50%.

- Don't be silly, Toni!

If so, I should tend

to our interests

and take care of the numbers,

because you have no idea.

Look.

Here's a proposal to set up a company.

Call if you have any doubts.

Sofia tries to be as French

as possible. Cooks 14 hours a day

and at night learns the language

through films.

Truffaut's masterpiece,

Jules et Jim.

With her being far away,

old enemies reach an agreement

And without even noticing,

Frank becomes part of the family.

Grilled foie with fruit

coated in caramel and fennel.

What's this?

It's mashed pumpkin.

I'll taste it.

You are a miracle.

How beautiful! You look smart!

What do you think?

It's very stylish, isn't it'?

If we open in September,

we have all summer to...

I'll kill him!

I swear I'll kill the electrician!

- Frank is great, isn't he?

- He is.

- And tonight... tonight...

- What'?

Tonight...

My love, this is...

This is wonderful.

And you are a prince, Toni.

Yes, but we're not spending

so much time apart again. You promise?

I promise.

- Say naughty things in French.

- Get off, Toni!

Go ahead...

- I'd jump into the water with you...

- So would I.

F***, we need to find him

a girlfriend quickly.

Right now! Right now!

It's not working.

We'll come back tomorrow.

I need to see the kitchen, Frank!

- There's no light.

- I'll die if I don't.

I'll bring some ?ashlights.

It's not going to work.

Now it's clear,

it's not going to work.

What do you mean?

I'm more than ready.

I dreamt a wonderful dish.

- I forgot, but...

- That's not what I mean.

The lights went out, but between you

and I there's enough electricity.

I can't do this to Toni.

He's great.

Frank, you can control yourself.

No, I can't.

Can you?

What's going on?

The last one?

- Well, the one before the last one?

- Here.

Careful! Careful!

Here.

She's crazy.

What the...

Sofia!

Who dares?

Through summer they devote

themselves to business.

The three of them

observe each other

but none of them talks

about what happened at the beach.

And on September 15th, 1995,

at 8 in the evening...

- Why are you here so early?

- I like being early.

What's wrong?

- It's just... I'm...

- You're sweating.

- I've been thinking of mum all day.

- She was a bad cook.

Terrible.

Don't touch it.

Well, remember:

Once a dish is finished, it needs

to be served in one minute, tops

The dishes will come out as ordered.

From the first to the second,

no more than ten or less than eight.

Is that clear?

Is that clear?

It is clear.

Well, the costumers tonight

are not average people.

I picked them, they know

everything about restaurants,

so they'll be hard judges.

But, if they're happy,

it'll be the best publicity.

Well, good luck

and let's get to work.

That boy knows it's not only

his restaurant, right?

Yes.

Let's go, love,

we're getting in the way

My stomach has been upset

all day.

We're ?ying high.

Hope we're good enough.

Let's f*** all these snobs.

Sofias dishes surprise the guests.

A well-known businessman

starts crying

when he tastes a symphony

of ?owers and vegetables.

Are you OK?

Two journalists can't stop laughing

with a raw tuna fish fillet

The smell of lamb

with autumn fruit

gives a politician

the strongest erection.

We passed, boys!

Well, everything was perfect, really.

- I'm so happy.

- People left satisfied.

We'll see how that works

when they pay for the food.

You're so handsome!

Hey, good job

Frank, really, perfect.

Don't expect to have it

fully booked tomorrow.

We have 8 reservations.

If we get 9 the day after tomorrow,

we'll be on the right track.

Is he the boss?

He organizes. Sofia's the artist

and your son is the manager.

- So, three bosses.

- There's also a god who's three.

Let's drink a toast!

- Here's to Sofia!

- To Sofia!

- Where's Sofia?

- Sofia?

I want to leave.

- Where?

- I don't know.

Far away.

Somewhere where we can be alone.

Alone, who?

- Do you have the car keys on you?

- I do.

Let's take the car and leave.

Who are you asking?

Us.

Who is us?

Us is the three of us.

Good morning!

Would you like some juice?

What am I laughing at?

I'm the husband.

What if you were the husband?

We can't break this.

Let's see, what...

What is "this"? The three of us?

Yes.

Sofia, I'm the husband!

And I'm the wife, right?

Would you like it

if I got another woman in bed?

I don't know,

but that's not the question.

What is the question, then?

We are OK, aren't we?

Can we share this, the three of us?

- Sharing is doing it again?

- No, no. Can you see?

- What do you mean, no? Why?

- Just because, I told you,

- I'm the husband.

- Forget your position for a second.

Can we or can't we, Toni?

Can we?

- If we can, what, then?

- Exactly.

To a place that's ours alone.

This is a mess.

- We could hold on and see.

- See what?

We've been holding on

for over a year.

Christmas is coming, we'll have to pay

I don't even dare

walking by the bank.

- We could lower the prices.

- We're not lowering standards.

F*** it, I'd rather give the food away

than having an empty restaurant.

It has to work, it has to.

F***ing hell.

I'm not ready.

I've been proud, I'm not ready.

Don't dare doubting.

You're great.

You're the best.

Well, OK. But it's not enough.

It's not enough, and that's it.

- We could make rations bigger.

- No.

People in the village say

you pay a lot and get little food.

We don't care about people.

People are like sheep,

they do as they're told.

We need more advertising,

some f***ing lea?ets.

I know:
a plane!
