(LAUGHING)

That's terrible.

Well, I'll work on it.

I think you should.

You're not what

I expected.

No?

You're different.

Different?

Different is good.

Is it?

You make me think it is.

You make me

feel different.

Sorry.

Why?

Mostly I always

feel the same.

Same people,

same conversations, same parties.

None of it means anything.

But you help people.

I mean,

you're raising money, building schools.

I wish I were part of

something that important.

But that's my father.

That's not me.

I do nothing.

I've never been

to those schools.

I've never been

to Africa, to Romania.

I'm only faking

my way through.

GRACE:
I know what

that feels like.

But there is nothing

fake about you.

I want to

show you something.

(MOUNTAIN AND THE SEA PLAYING)

(SINGING) You call me a mountain

And I call you the sea

You can move me

if you want to...

Thank you.

And then we're gonna go

meet his friends

and then we're

gonna go dancing!

Meg, what has

gotten into you?

I know.

(SIGHS)

I'm sorry.

Me, too.

Oh. (LAUGHS)

Hey, mate.

What?

The necklace.

There's the Meg

that I know.

What were you thinking?

Stay classy, Meg.

RILEY:
You good?

Yeah. I'm perfect.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

First class.

(TAKE IT EASYPLAYING)

(SINGING) Relax, take it easy

For there is nothing

that we can do

Relax, take it easy

Blame it on me

or blame it on you

Relax, take it easy

(LAUGHING)

(ALL CHATTERING IN FRENCH)

Jerome.

Merci.

Excuse me.

There are people for that.

Yeah, I know.

THEO:
Give me your hand.

GRACE:
Thank you.

Wow.

THEO:
I'm trying

to impress you.

GRACE:
Mmm. So far, so good.

When I was little,

I had a snow globe of the Eiffel Tower,

and when you

wound it up it played

La Vie En Rose.

(LA VIE EN ROSEPLAYING)

And when I shook it,

the snow inside sparkled.

(HUMMING)

LOUIS ARMSTRONG:
(SINGING)

When you kiss me, heaven sighs

It was magical.

Just like this.

I see la vie en rose

Just wait.

When you press me

to your heart

I'm in a world apart

A world where roses bloom

And when you speak

Look at this one.

Angels sing from above

Everyday words seem

to turn into love songs

This is amazing!

(LAUGHING)

And life will always be

La vie en rose

I had a lovely time tonight.

Me, too, Cordelia.

Theo, I need to

tell you something.

- (ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

- Yeah, sure, please.

Hi, good evening.

Maybe tomorrow.

All right, then tomorrow.

I'll see you

at the auction, all right?

Bonsoir.

Bonsoir.

(CHATTERING IN FRENCH ON TV)

Emma?

I'm in here.

- GRACE:
Hey.

- Hey.

Domenico?

Mmm-hmm.

What are you watching?

Grace Kelly.

(SIGHS)

You know how on

Hastings Avenue,

how all the houses

are set way back?

With the front walks

and big lawns and driveways.

I always wondered about

the kind of people that lived there.

You know,

the kind of people with

the dimmer switches

on their lights.

I thought Owen

and I were gonna

live in a house

like that one day.

(SIGHS) It's crazy.

It's not crazy.

So stupid.

I don't need a fancy house.

I just need Owen.

Grace, what if I blew it?

Emma...

Oh, hey.

Hey, don't you

worry about it.

Okay?

We'll work it out.

We always do.

I know. I know you will.

Then what?

I just...

I finally meet a guy

who likes me for me,

and I'm not even me.

But I feel like I am

when I'm with him.

If Theo finds out,

he's gonna hate me.

Grace, trust me.

Once he knows the real you,

the Grace that I know,

he's just gonna know

how lucky he is.

You think?

I knew it

from the minute I laid eyes on you.

(SIGHS)

You're going places, kid.

Wait.

Where's Meg?

Close your eyes.

(LAUGHS) Do it.

Where did you find that?

For you.

Hmm.

Now, run.

Hey!

(PROTESTS IN FRENCH)

(PRODDING IN FRENCH)

- Bonjour.

- Bonjour.

(SIGHS)

This is me.

Back up to

the old Grimaldi Suite.

You're staying here?

Yeah. Sort of an upgrade.

Offer stands, Meg.

It's not as posh as this.

There's a place in Tuscany.

You just pitch your tent

right on the beach.

And

the company is good.

I wish I could.

The train leaves at noon

if you change your mind.

Change your mind.

(SIGHS)

Have a nice trip.

You, too, Meg.

GRACE:
Meg? Meg?

Hey!

Where have you been?

Will you relax?

It's okay, she is right here.

The article said

millions, Emma.

Yeah, I heard you

the first hundred times.

On my neck.

I'm not going to

relax until that thing is back in its case.

What is going on

with you two?

Can you please just

give her the necklace?

What necklace?

Oh! Riley!

It's in his backpack.

I put it in his backpack to be safe!

GRACE:
Backpack? Wait!

Wait! What?

Whose backpack?

Riley's.

Okay, so Riley has it.

Where is he staying?

He's not. He's gone.

He stole the necklace?

No, Emma,

he didn't steal anything.

He's getting on

a train to Italy.

Are you kidding me?

At noon.

How far is the train station

from here?

PHOTOGRAPHERS:

Cordelia! Cordelia!

Oh, hey,

what's she doing here?

Oh! Mademoiselle Scott.

Room key.

Faster.

(KEYS RATTLING)

Sorry.

Pillow, there.

Now the blankets.

Nobody in Majorca

knew...

Cordelia?

Right.

Cordelia.

(SIGHS) Hold on, Victoria.

Yes?

Good morning.

Forgot how I hate the French.

Do not even think about it.

(SHRIEKS)

Shanghai?

Well, can you wait for me?

I just have this

tiresome auction I have to deal with.

I suppose it...

(INVITING IN FRENCH)

Well, let's just...

I was meant to have a suite.

Put those in there.

Wait. Wait.

Stavros is supposed

to be here, isn't he?

I don't see his boat.

He's in Mykonos.

PORTER:
Mademoiselle?

Hold on.

Yes?

If you have finished,

you may go.

If you have finished,

you may go.

- Emma, go.

- No, I can't move.

- Move!

- You have to go!

Do it! Go.

(EXHALING) Okay, okay.

Oh, God.

- Don't look down.

- I'm sorry.

I looked down.

Okay.

EMMA:
I can't breathe,

I can't breathe, I can't breathe.

Emma, stop it. It's over!

Calm down. Shh!

(RATTLING DOORS)

It's locked.

Come on.

It's locked, too!

Oh, no.

No, no, no. Meg!

Wait, no!

Wait!

No, no, no! Wait!

No! No!

- The train.

- The necklace.

Riley.

Yes, I'm here, Mother.

So unfair.

I never get to see my friends.

I never do what I want.

When is it

going to be my turn?

Ugh!

(SCREAMING)

You know what?

Let's just get

on a train and go.

I can't.

I pretended to be

that girl and now I lost her necklace.

You didn't lose

her necklace.

I did.

No, I did.

Well, I lied

to Theo, about everything.

I have to go back.

- What?

- I have to fix this.

Or at least try.

Okay.

Okay, we go back.

We'll explain.

Maybe she'll understand.

Fat chance.

Could you be

a little positive?

One night out

and look at you.

Cheers, mate.

Excuse me, excuse me.

I was wondering

if you could tell me

where the Grimaldi

Suite is, please.

- (PHONE RINGING)

- Pardon.

Hello?

This is Cordelia

Winthrop Scott.

I've been robbed.

Call the police.

Robbed! I will call securit.

No, I said police!

Call the police!

Yes, securit.

No, I said police!
