that the floor numbering here makes absolutely no sense. [chuckles]
You are very wet.
What? Oh. [chuckles]
Yeah, um... I just ran five miles,
but I don't really know what that is in kilometers.
Can I get you a glass of water? It's a long way to the fifth floor.
Nah, I have to get to work,

No problem. Bang any time.

Bonjour, la plouc.

[chuckles]
[in English] I think I like you.
French is such a funny language.
Why is it la plouc and not le plouc?
I guess it depends on the plouc you're referring to.
[clicks tongue] Look, I know that you all aren't that happy to have me here
and my French could use some work.
-A little bit. -[Emily] Okay.
It's basically merde,
but I have some ideas about marketing De L'Heure
that I'd like to share with you.
[clicks tongue, enunciating] De L'Heure.
-[imitating slowly] De L'Heure. -De L'Heure.
-De L'Heure.
[sighs, slowly] De... L'Heu-re.
-De L'Heure. -De L'Heure.
-De L'Heu-re.
I don't think that's the account for you.
I studied the marketing plan before I got to Paris.
It's weak.
Oh, how so?
You're piggybacking off the ad campaign.
Very little social engagement. I know you're about to launch,
-and you're keeping me out of the loop. -True.
The party is tonight.
Tonight? What...?
What? Were you gonna tell me this, uh, never?
[clicks tongue] Listen, I...
don't agree with your approach.
[chuckling] You want everything to be everywhere,
accessible to everyone.
You want to open doors.
I want to close doors.
We work with very exclusive brands.
And they require mystery, and... [scoffs]
...you have no mystery.
You're... You're very... very obvious.
Maybe I am.
But... I do understand what it means to be on the outside looking in.
I have a perspective that you will never understand
because, no, I'm not sophisticated or French,
and I don't know how to look like you.
That slouchy, sexy, je ne sais quoi thing.
But I am the customer that wants it.
And you're not because... you've already got it,
and you don't even know how you did it.
So, you want to go to this party?
Bien sûr.
Fine. Be there at eight.
Wonderful.
Any tips on what to wear?
Not that.

Emily. Quelle metaporphose ! Très belle.
Oh, merci.
-Emily has just arrived from, uh, America. -Oh.
Antoine Lambert. And my wife, Catherine.
-Enchanté. -Enchantée here as well.
Antoine, of course, owns Maison Lavaux,
-and he is the best nose in France. -[gasps]
Well, it's... it's very symmetrical.
[group laughs]
Not literally my nose.
A nose is what we call the perfumer, the one who composes the scent.
-[chuckles] -[Paul] Emily unfortunately
does not speak French.
-[Emily chuckles softly] -And why did you come to Paris?
To bring an American perspective from a marketing point of view.
Hm. And how do things look from that point of view?
I think you have an amazing, sexy product
that could practically induce pregnancy in older women.
-I mean, it's part of the reason I'm here. -Sorry? [chuckles]
[chuckles] Uh, yeah...
-Never mind. Sorry. It's a long story. -[Antoine] Please.
I'm curious.
Well, I think we can do much more on social.
Last year at my company, we marketed a vaccine
to help combat the chikungunya virus and saturated the web
with such gorgeous content, we were actually responsible
for increasing tourism in the Virgin Islands by 30 percent.
If you googled "tropical beach," "vacation," "paradise,"
or even "topless beach selfies," you were directed to our product.
Oh, and the best thing is
we can track everything.
Who have used what, when, where, and for how long.
What is she saying? [scoffs]

Juliette from Marie Claire is waiting to talk to you.
Please.
Interesting ideas.
It's nice to meet you.

Bonsoir.
How are you enjoying Paris?
I love it. I mean, who wouldn't, right?
I'm sorry if I was talking too much about work.
Sometimes I just get a little over enthusiastic,
and, uh, I know it's a party.
-Cheers. -Santé.

You're not wearing the perfume.
-Not yet. I'm sorry. -[Antoine] Here.
Try a little here.
[perfume spritzes]
And right here.
-[perfume spritzes] -[sniffs]
It suits you.
Ah, it smells really good.
I'm just not usually a perfume girl.
[Antoine] And why not?
It's like wearing beautiful lingerie.
Makes you feel more confident. Sexier.
Happier.
And, of course, with the right chemistry, it can be an aphrodisiac.
I will keep all of that in mind for our marketing materials.
User experience is key.
Mm-hm. And how do you experience it?
What does it smell like to you?
-[sniffs] Gardenia. -[Antoine] Mm-hm.
Leather.
Musk.
And a little bit like sweat... [chuckles]
...although that's probably me.
It's like wearing poetry.
Génial.
I love it.
Like wearing poetry. Exactly.
Perhaps you wear it and see how you feel?
And how other men feel around you?
Or other women. As you please.
I usually please men.
Uh, prefer.
I usually prefer men.
Ah. Well then, you need to find yourself a nice French boyfriend.
That's the best way to learn the language. In bed.
I have a boyfriend. In Chicago.
We're basically engaged to be engaged. He's... He's coming here soon.
I'm not sure that's gonna help with your French.
I'm very happy to have an American on my team.
We will learn from each other.
[sniffs]
[smacks lips] Expensive sex.

Bonjour, Emily.
Bonjour, Julien.
[Paul] Hey.
Very successful party last night.
Antoine was impressed with you.
He would like you to work on the account.
-Really? -[Paul] Yeah.
[sighs] That's great. I thought maybe I was too enthusiastic.
Oh, I would... I would love the help on the account,
but we discussed that Emily
-was gonna work on Vaga-Jeune. -Uh, what... what's Vaga-Jeune?
Uh, suppositoires
-so that the vagina can become mouillé. -I'm sorry?
Suppositories to promote vaginal wetness in older women.
Because the weather in the vagina when the lady is older...
Isn't so moye anymore, I... I get it.
[chuckling] Mouillé. Très bien.
So you learnt a new word.
So, Emily will work on this for now?
Oui, oui. It's an important product.
A necessity.
So first, you start with the necessities, and then you move to the luxuries.
[Sylvie] Yeah, exactement !
And your experience is with pharmaceuticals,
so this makes total sense.
Of course.
-Good. -Good.
Oh, also...
[quietly] ...I think perhaps
last night you were a little too friendly with Antoine.
What? No.
Mm, he seemed very friendly with you.
I think he was just being French.
[chuckles] And you find him attractive?
Yes. No! No.
-He's married. I met his wife. -[Sylvie] Hm.
So you do find him attractive.
He's a client.
A married client.
Exactement !
And his wife is very nice and a very good friend of mine.
I will send you all the materials for Vaga-Jeune.
[energetic instrumental music playing]
[quietly] Something you should know.
[whispers] Sylvie is Antoine's mistress.
[Emily sighs]
[phone locks]
You never flirt with another woman in front of your mistress.
It's worse than doing it in front of your wife.
They were in the same room, to be precise.
Oh. Then they probably know each other.
-I'm sure they're friends. -Really?
You think Antoine's wife knows about his affair with Sylvie?
Of course. I'm sure she approves.
Why?
Nobody wants to have to have sex with the same person forever.
I bet she has a lover, too.
Okay, my head is just completely spinning.
-They're all in it together? -[laughs]
I think it's probably tolerated more than discussed.
But I don't get it.
What's the point of being married if you're gonna cheat on your spouse?
Uh, maybe after you're married for 20 years, you might feel differently.
I mean, the French are romantics, but they're also realists.
Ah. Cute alert! How do you know about this place?
I live right down there, and every time I pass by, it's packed.
Ah. Bon appétit.
-Santé. -Santé.
So, what brought you to Paris?
[smacks lips] Mm. At first, business school.
My father insisted, and he's used to getting his way.
Uh, he's the Zipper King of China.
-The Zipper King? -[Mindy] Yes.
And also many other kinds of... fasteners.
-He's got the world by the balls. -[chuckles]
-Literally. -[both laugh]
[Mindy] And, um,
well, it's his dream
to have his only child, me, take over the family business.
-Well, what's your dream? -Just anything but that.
[scoffs] But ever since I was a child,
I was obsessed with the idea of living in Paris.
Um, so I enrolled in school here and dropped out.
-I'm used to getting my way, too. -Merci.
So that's why you became a nanny?
Yes, because when my father found out, he cut me off.
Ow. I'm sorry. That's harsh.
No. No, no, no, it's wonderful.
I mean, I'd... I'd much rather have my freedom.
Otherwise I'd be living a very predictable life in China.
You know, it's funny,
I grew up with nannies, and now I am one.
-Well, I'm very glad you're here. -[Mindy] Mm-hm.
Ugh. This steak isn't cooked at all.
-Um... -Ooh.
Excuse me! Pardon.
-Monsieur. -[waiter] Oui.
[Emily] Uh...
I ordered this medium, and it's still kind of bloody.
Elle aimerait son steak mieux cuit, s'il vous plaît.
Uh, yeah. What she said.
[waiter clears throat]
Yeah. Just make sure to never order the ris de veau.
What's that? Rice with veal?
No. See, that's what I thought. [inhales sharply]
I think it's brains or balls, but it tastes like ass.
-[chortles] -[Emily] Ew.
The chef tells me the steak is correct.
Um, well, correct for him but not correct for me.
-I suggest you try it. -Ah,
maybe you suggest he cook it longer?
-I'll take yours, you take mine. -No. Come on. The customer's always right.
See, no, here the customer is never right.
Well, maybe I'll educate the chef a little bit
about customer service.
You think you're gonna change the entire French culture
by sending back a steak?
-Gabriel? -Emily.
Mindy.
Wait, you're the chef here?
Oui. Is there a problem?
-Well, you-- -No! No. I love it.
Everything is perfect.
You haven't touched it.
You know, I'd be happy to burn it for you, but promise me you'll try it first.
Yeah, try his meat, Emily.
[Emily] Hm.
Mm! Mm.
Mm!
-It's surprisingly tender. -Tender.
