Be more sexy.

- Look at me, please, Gina.

Gina, speak me.

Look me, please.

- This is what we call a

[speaks foreign

language] in French.

A bad friend, because

it makes you feel

that it's the same word as an

English word, but it's not.

For instance, it's

not a journey.

It's a day.

Like, [speaks foreign language]

sounds like a

preservative, but it's not.

It means a condom.

- Condom?

[laughs]

- Yeah.

- How do we say, "I need you?"

- I need you, it's...

-[Lorraine] Gina, I

haven't heard from you.

How are you feeling?

Give a call.

[voicemail beeps]

Just heard from Charles

you're not coming back.

Even though we'll miss you,

we're so happy

you're doing so well.

[voicemail beeps]

Just got the photo

of you and Jerome.

He's so handsome.

[voicemail beeps]

We're flying Paris again

this month, hope to see you.

[doorbell buzzes]

- Hi.

-[Gina] Hey.

[giggles]

- Oh, you already

give me so much.

No, I can't take it.

- Please, open it.

Open it.

It's a trip for us.

- Oh, okay, it is

not a surprise now.

- For tonight, to Giverny.

- Okay.

-[Gina] You know?

Monet?

- Yeah, but I'm working

tonight, you know?

- Tonight?

- Well, you should

call in sick.

- No, I can't.

Franz need me, and, you know?

But go, it's beautiful.

- But--

-[Jerome] No, no,

it's not possible.

- I already bought the tickets.

Can you call in sick?

- Yeah, no.

Go, go, go.

Enjoy, enjoy, go, go.

I'm sorry.

Bye.

See you soon.

[door slams]

[exotic music]

- Where's Jerome tonight?

- Oh, it's so great to see you.

- It's great to see you.

- You look so beautiful.

-[Gina] Thank you.

-[Faye] You look awesome.

-[Gina] Thanks, so do you.

- How's the new, sexy boyfriend?

- Oh, he's really good.

He's great, yeah.

He's sick, so he's

not here tonight,

but everything is

very, very good.

- I'm so glad you're happy.

- Yeah.

Are you guys on layover?

- Yeah, we had to see you.

- Oh, wow.

It's so nice to see you.

-[Faye] Can you bring

out some drinks?

- Of course!

I'll get, um, you want shots?

-[Faye] Yeah, shots.

- Yeah?

Okay, tequila, three?

Three shots of tequila.

Four, okay.

- He's not happy.

- Okay.

[doorbell buzzes]

- Hi, it's me.

- Gina.

-[Jerome] What are

you doing here?

- Oh, I thought we

had plans tonight.

- No, I am busy.

- Oh, um, could I

use your bathroom?

It's an emergency.

- Hi.

Didn't realize you had company.

- Yes.

The bathroom is over there.

- Oh, yes.

Yeah, I remember.

- Yeah, go.

- Okay.

- Everything's okay?

- Yes, yes, okay.

Yeah, I'm fine.

- Okay.

- Oh, do you have

any white wine?

- Just whiskey.

[whimpers]

- Cool.

- I said, you will come with us.

- Oh, yeah, okay.

I didn't put my name in!

I didn't put your name in.

- I put your name down.

- No, no, no!

-[Crowd] Gina, Gina, Gina!

[winsome music]

Time is on my side

Yes, it is

Time is on my side

Yes, it is

That you wanna be free

You'll come running back

You'll come running back

You'll come running back to me

Time is on my side

Yes, it is

Time is on my side

Yes, it is

You're searching

for good times

But just wait and see

You'll come running back

You'll come running back to me

My girl, my girl,

where will you go?

I'm going where

the cold wind blows

-[Woman] You have

such an amazing voice.

My girl, my girl

Don't lie to me

Tell me where you

slept last night

[eerie music]

[glass shatters]

- Gina.

I'm glad you're okay.

- Thank you for staying with me.

- It's okay.

- We'll do something

really special tomorrow.

- What'd she say?

- She said, um--

- Do you wanna know about love?

- Yes, love.

- Okay.

- What does it mean?

- She said my real love is

coming in my life, is here.

[phone ringing]

- What?

What?

- Uh, she said it's real.

It's now, it's fine.

It's now.

Go, go take your call now.

[phone ringing]

Uh, okay.

- Well, there's gonna be no way

that I can come in tonight,

so can you please just make

something up?

I don't know, Charlie.

Just lie for me.

Just say anything.

I don't care, please.

-[Narrator] Jerome

didn't believe in fate,

in crystal balls or mysticism,

but he had began to think

that maybe, just maybe,

the tarot cards were right.

"Your true love is

already beside you."

He had to go to her.

[rock music]

[crowd cheering]

[dreamy music]

[girls chattering]

Even in a sea of beautiful

women, Jerome knew,

in that instant, that

Clemence would be his wife.

Gina, meanwhile, began

to spiral into despair.

She fell behind on

her rent payments.

She couldn't motivate

herself to bathe or eat

for days at a time, barely

able to leave the couch.

[romantic music]

- I have work.

Why?

Come on.

I missed one day, and

I have to work tonight.

Will you please go get Franz?

I need to talk to Franz.

I have to work tonight.

- Okay.

- Thank you.

- Wait here.

Stay here.

I'll be back.

- Hey, Gina.

What's happening with you?

- Franz doesn't want to see you

right now. He's, he's-- - -

- Okay, I don't need your help.

- I just need to talk to Franz.

- Let me talk to him first.

- I'll convince you to

take him back.

- I'm not going to f*** you.

- What?

You're not what?

-[Gina] I'm not

going to f*** you.

- You're not going to f*** me?

-[Gina] That's right.

- What makes you think

that I want to f*** you?

You want to talk to

Franz? I'm gonna get Franz.

- Hello, again.

Hello, again.

- You're fired.

[haunting music]

[doorbell buzzing]

- Please, come

back another time.

- No, I just had to find my

earring. I left my earring

here. The rose one, the red one?

- Okay, go find, go find.

- It's a red rose earring.

It was my mother's.

- Gina, Gina, stop, stop, stop.

You have to go now.

- No, I have to find my earring.

I can't leave

without my earring.

- I can find it tomorrow.

- You have to go.

You have to go now.

Please, please, Gina.

I go away with you now.

- You'll come with me?

- Yes, I come with you.

- You have to go now.

- You have to go.

You have to go.

Come, come.

Come, okay?

- Yes, my home.

Yes, right here.

Yes, come.

- What?

- Come, come.

[keypad beeping]

You want a drink?

Can I get you a drink?

- It is a joke?

It is a joke?

You live here?

You live here?

Go to America!

Okay?

- But I love you.

- Yeah?

[door slams]

[eerie music]

[knocking on door]

[romantic music]

[knocking intensifies]

- I have a room under

the name Gina Campbell.

- Okay, let me check.

Um, I don't have a

reservation under Campbell.

I have Royalton Air, but

nothing under Campbell.

There should definitely be a

reservation under my name.

Can you please check with

your supervisor?

- Oh, yes.

- Thank you.

- I'm sorry, Madam, but you

are not under the system.

There is no reservation

under Campbell,

and the hotel is full.

- I'm really sorry, there

is nothing I can do for you.

- Well, I stayed

here a million times,

and I've been on

my feet all day.

I would really love

to just get to sleep,

- I understand, but there
