0:02:320:02:34

Oh, I'm so nervous.

0:02:340:02:36

You're supposed to be nervous on your wedding day.

0:02:370:02:40

Right.

0:02:400:02:41

You really look absolutely gorgeous.

0:02:410:02:43

Oh, thanks. I borrowed the dress.

0:02:430:02:46

It's a marvellous thing you're doing, Bronte.

0:02:460:02:48

-Oh, Anton, please...

ALL CHEER

0:03:050:03:07

Nice to meet you.

0:03:190:03:21

You too.

CAR HORNS HONK

0:03:230:03:24

You were very good.

0:03:250:03:27

So were you!

0:03:270:03:28

Oh, here's Anton.

0:03:290:03:31

There's a copy for you, Bronte.

0:03:320:03:34

0:03:340:03:37

-C'est arrange maintenant.

-Thank you.

0:03:370:03:38

Merci.

0:03:380:03:40

I'll never forget Afrika.

0:03:410:03:43

Africa?

0:03:430:03:44

Yes. Where we met.

0:03:440:03:46

Oh, the coffee shop. Right.

0:03:460:03:48

OK, so good luck with your life.

0:03:480:03:51

-Merci, Anton. Vraiment.

-De rien.

0:03:510:03:53

-Telephonez-moi.

-Bien sur.

0:03:530:03:56

-Good luck with your composing.

-With what?

0:03:560:03:58

Your music.

0:03:580:04:00

Oh, yes. Right.

0:04:000:04:02

Yes. OK.

0:04:020:04:04

So, what happens next?

0:04:070:04:09

That's it. You don't have to see him again.

0:04:090:04:12

-MAN SPEAKS QUIETLY:

-Did you look at that?

0:04:130:04:16

Mm-hm.

0:04:160:04:18

It could potentially be a problem.

0:04:180:04:21

Mm-hm.

0:04:200:04:23

MAN CLEARS THROAT

0:04:230:04:26

Africa?

0:04:330:04:34

Yes.

0:04:350:04:37

That's where we met.

0:04:370:04:39

And he's there now.

0:04:390:04:41

Again.

0:04:400:04:43

I... I wish he were here.

0:04:430:04:45

But he's not.

0:04:450:04:46

He'd love the apartment though.

0:04:470:04:50

He travels a great deal.

0:04:500:04:52

But he's the quiet type.

0:04:520:04:54

We both are really.

0:04:540:04:56

What's he doing there?

0:04:560:04:58

He's a composer.

0:04:580:05:00

African music.

0:05:010:05:02

Not drums?

0:05:020:05:04

We couldn't have someone who played the drums here.

0:05:040:05:07

Oh, no. No.

0:05:070:05:09

He studies their music. He's an academic.

0:05:090:05:12

He himself is not...

0:05:120:05:13

African?

0:05:130:05:15

He's French.

0:05:150:05:17

Oh, oh, French. Oh.

0:05:170:05:19

What is this?

0:05:190:05:21

"Green Guerillas"?

0:05:210:05:23

Not some sort of army, is it?

0:05:230:05:25

It's a volunteer gardening group, Mrs Bird.

0:05:250:05:28

They do very good work amongst the poor.

0:05:270:05:30

Mrs Faure is also with our City Parks Department.

0:05:300:05:33

We did have problems with a recent tenant -

0:05:330:05:36

a single gentleman who neglected the responsibilities

0:05:360:05:41

associated with 12F.

0:05:410:05:43

That's why the board feels that a young married couple

0:05:430:05:47

would be more suitable.

0:05:470:05:48

Well, Mrs Faure being a horticulturalist

0:05:480:05:51

is very much in her favour.

0:05:510:05:53

Yes, but it is highly irregular to give our approval...

0:05:530:05:56

I like the couple from the bank, not the one with the dog.

0:05:560:06:00

Look, I'm very aware of the situation.

0:06:000:06:02

It's just that...well, I could bring the garden back

0:06:020:06:05

to how the late professor had it.

0:06:050:06:08

I don't want to get too technical,

0:06:080:06:10

but the Maranta staconera needs thinning,

0:06:100:06:12

the crinums and the zamias are sadly neglected.

0:06:120:06:15

The chamaedorea's root-bound.

0:06:150:06:18

And special care must be taken for the poor Cyathea dickensonia.

0:06:180:06:21

Not to mention the cordyline or the heliconia.

0:06:210:06:24

And there's work nurturing the aspidistra, begonias.

0:06:240:06:28

The bromeliads.

0:08:410:08:43

Talk about the eleventh hour, huh?

0:08:430:08:45

I've got some good news.

0:08:450:08:47

Oh, what's that?

0:08:470:08:48

How about 3,000 square feet of quality topsoil?

0:08:480:08:51

-You're kidding!

-No!

0:08:510:08:52

Get this. Burger King does this...

0:08:520:08:54

this press hype over the Sheraton Centre.

0:08:540:08:56

They re-create Texas with a giant burger in the middle.

0:08:560:09:00

They don't know what to do with the soil.

0:09:000:09:03

Dave says, "I'll take it off your hands."

0:09:030:09:05

Hey, Harry, how're you doing?

0:09:050:09:07

Look at this - we're officially approved!

0:09:070:09:09

Ask Bronte and Phil.

0:09:570:10:00

I'm starved.

0:10:010:10:03

Me too.

0:10:030:10:05

-Hey, Bronte, are you hungry?

-Yeah.

0:10:060:10:08

-Wanna get something to eat?

-Uh-huh.

0:10:080:10:10

-How about you?

-Yeah.

0:10:100:10:11

-Let's go.

-All Nations OK?

0:10:110:10:13

Yeah.

0:10:130:10:14

-Oh...

-Mmm.

0:10:140:10:16

Let's think of certain plants we can plant there.

0:10:160:10:19

-Can we order?

-I'm not your waiter.

0:10:190:10:22

-Who's our waiter?

-You decide.

0:10:220:10:23

-Hey, man, are you our waiter?

-No, sir.

0:10:250:10:28

-Georges, la carte.

-J'arrive.

0:10:280:10:30

Let's get out of here. It's awful.

0:10:300:10:32

Don't think we'll find any place else open now.

-Uh...

-Somebody else start.

0:10:490:10:52

What are your specials?

0:10:510:10:53

From Switzerland we have calf's liver with a special sauce

0:10:540:10:58

and, uh, from old England we have roast beef.

0:10:580:11:01

-I don't eat meat.

-Why not?

0:11:010:11:03

Pardon me?

0:11:050:11:06

If you don't eat meat we have fish.

0:11:060:11:09

I don't eat fish either. I'm a vegetarian.

0:11:090:11:11

-Ah...

-Do you have a vegetarian special?

0:11:110:11:14

Of course. All Nations Vegetables.

0:11:140:11:15

I'll have that, but no oil...

0:11:150:11:17

-..or salt.

-No salt for you. OK.

0:11:170:11:20

-I'll take the fish.

-Me too.

0:11:200:11:22

Fish. Two for the fish. OK.

Let me come up?

0:12:420:12:43

-Mmm, no.

-What is it, a girls' dorm?

0:12:430:12:46

I've never seen your apartment. Why the secrecy?

0:12:460:12:49

What secrecy?

0:12:490:12:51

Well, most girls I've known have tried to crowd me.

0:12:500:12:54

-Mmm.

-Except you.

0:12:540:12:56

I could do with some crowding from you.

0:12:560:12:59

Evening, Mrs Faure.

0:13:190:13:21

Hello, Oscar.

0:13:220:13:23

There's some mail here.

0:13:230:13:25

Mostly addressed to Miss Parrish.

0:13:250:13:27

I guess some folks don't know you're married.

0:13:270:13:30

I still use the name Parrish.

0:13:300:13:32

-Women's lib, huh?

-I guess so.

0:13:320:13:34

Nothing from Africa.

0:13:340:13:35

-Oh.

-I already checked.

0:13:360:13:38

I guess he's still on safari, huh?

0:13:380:13:41

Something like that.

0:13:410:13:42

-Mrs Faure?

-Yes.

0:14:320:14:34

My name is Gorsky.

0:14:340:14:35

I'm with the Investigations Department of the INS.

0:14:350:14:38

-The what?

-Immigration.

0:14:380:14:40

My partner and I are downstairs.

0:14:400:14:42

We wondered if we might talk with you...and your husband.

0:14:420:14:46

GENERAL CHATTER

0:14:520:14:54

What is it you want?

0:14:550:14:57

I just want to speak with Georges Faure.

0:14:570:14:59

-He doesn't work here any more.

-What?

0:14:590:15:02

He insulted a customer. We don't tolerate that.

0:15:020:15:04

-Excuse me.

-Please, I must find him.

0:15:040:15:06

-Do you know where he lives?

-Georges Faure is trouble.

0:15:060:15:10

You would do best to avoid him.

0:15:100:15:12

Now, if you'll excuse me, young lady,

0:15:120:15:14

I have customers waiting.

0:15:140:15:16

0:15:480:15:50

Oh? And who are you?

0:15:500:15:52

Mr Faure.

0:15:520:15:54

-Mr Faure?!

-Yes.

0:15:540:15:55

Oh, I'm sorry. I've never seen you before.

0:15:550:15:58

Welcome back. How was Africa?

0:15:580:16:00

-Africa?

-Yeah. You got any bags?

0:16:000:16:02

No, no. Just me.

0:16:020:16:03

At first I thought, "This guy's stepped out of the jungle."

0:16:030:16:07

And I was right!

0:16:070:16:08

It's great to see you back.

0:16:080:16:10

I hate to see young couples separated.

0:16:100:16:13

It's bad for the marriage.

0:16:130:16:14

-Call me old-fashioned...

-No!

0:16:140:16:16

..but that's this country's problem.

0:16:160:16:17

The family's going down the toilet.

0:16:170:16:19

-The toilet?

-Yeah!

0:16:190:16:21

15 years I'm married to the same woman.

0:16:210:16:24

-See my kids?

-Yes.

0:16:240:16:25

I call her twice a day.

0:16:250:16:27

I'm not into that women's lib stuff -

0:16:270:16:29

couples living in sin.

0:16:290:16:31

Well, come in.

0:16:550:16:58

Right...now, these people are due here any minute, so, um...

0:17:060:17:10

I think we better talk about the situation, don't you?

0:17:110:17:15

You got my note?

0:17:150:17:16

Of course you did, otherwise you wouldn't be here.

0:17:160:17:19

Uh, I spoke to my lawyer.

0:17:190:17:21

He said not to panic. It's probably just routine.

0:17:210:17:24

Have you got some coffee?

0:17:260:17:28

-Coffee?

-Yes.

0:17:280:17:29

Right. Good idea.

0:17:300:17:32

We'll just have coffee like any normal married couple.

0:17:330:17:36

How's the composing?

0:17:380:17:40

Didn't you get the big job in California?

0:17:400:17:43

No, I don't like them, you know?

0:17:430:17:45

I'd rather be a waiter than work for such people.

0:17:460:17:49

But you're not at the restaurant anymore.

0:17:490:17:52

No, I quit.

0:17:520:17:54

They said you were fired.

0:17:560:17:58

Really?

0:17:580:18:00

Funny.

0:18:000:18:01

I hate that captain, you know.

0:18:020:18:04

He's really a snob type.

Ah.

HE HUMS A TUNE

0:18:080:18:10

These people are due any minute

0:18:100:18:12

and you stroll around MY apartment touching MY things.

0:18:120:18:15

Do you realise the situation you've put me in?

0:18:150:18:18

I'm sorry, Betty.

0:18:180:18:20

Uh...

0:18:200:18:21

It's Bronte.

0:18:240:18:25

Oh.

0:18:260:18:28

This is hopeless.

0:18:280:18:30

The coffee?

0:18:310:18:33

-The coffee?

-Yes.

0:18:330:18:34

You're getting deported, but what about the coffee?!

-This is Immigration.

0:18:460:18:48

OK, come on.

0:18:480:18:49

What...

0:18:510:18:52

What are you doing?

0:18:520:18:54

Better put them in my closet.

0:18:540:18:56

Oh.

0:18:560:18:57

Oh, God.

0:19:060:19:07

We have to talk, for God's sake!

0:19:300:19:32

-Talk about what?

-How we met.

0:19:320:19:34

They'll ask us questions.

0:19:340:19:35

They just want to see us together.

0:19:350:19:38

This happened to a guy at the restaurant.

0:19:380:19:40

-They see us, they go. Simple.

-DOORBELL RINGS

Can you get it, cherie?

0:19:420:19:44

-Let me do the talking.

-No, I will.

0:19:440:19:47

You don't speak much English. I'll just...

0:19:470:19:49

Relax. We're together.

0:19:490:19:52

OK?

-Hello.

-Hello.

0:20:110:20:13

Hello.

0:20:130:20:14

-WOMAN:

-Oh, isn't this...quaint.

0:20:140:20:17

Thank you.

0:20:170:20:18

Come on up.

0:20:180:20:20

Georges?

0:20:260:20:28

This is Mrs Sheehan and Mr Gorsky.

0:20:300:20:33

Hi.

0:20:360:20:38

Hello.

0:20:380:20:40

-Hi.

-Hi.

0:20:400:20:41

Please sit down.

0:20:410:20:43

CLEARS THROAT

0:20:520:20:53

-Mr Faure...

-Georges, please.

0:21:050:21:07

Yes.

0:21:070:21:08

You entered the country five months ago

0:21:080:21:11

according to our records.

0:21:110:21:12

Yes. And already I love it.

0:21:120:21:14

Yes. Well...

0:21:140:21:16

Land of opportunity. Such a GREAT country.

0:21:160:21:19

-Yes.

-Already I feel at home.

0:21:190:21:21

-Ah...

-So lucky.

0:21:210:21:22

Beautiful wife.

0:21:220:21:25

-Apartment.

-Yeah.

0:21:250:21:26

-Plants.

-Oh.

0:21:260:21:29

So lucky.

0:21:290:21:30

Well, um, your visa - a B2, a tourist visa -

0:21:300:21:34

allowed you only six weeks.

0:21:340:21:36

Now, that in itself is an offence.

0:21:360:21:38

But more recent events have overtaken that.

0:21:380:21:40

Your marriage, of course, gives you automatic residency status.

0:21:400:21:44

Now, this is your place of residence?

0:21:440:21:46

-Of course.

-Yes.

0:21:460:21:48

You moved here AFTER the marriage?

0:21:480:21:50

-Yes.

-Mm-hm.

0:21:500:21:51

We spoke to the chairperson of the building.

0:21:510:21:54

He said you'd been away, Mr Faure.

0:21:540:21:56

In Africa.

0:21:560:21:58

Yes. Shooting elephants.

0:21:580:22:00

-Oh...

-With a camera!

0:22:000:22:02

-Of course!

-Oh!

0:22:020:22:04

And he brought me back some plants.

0:22:040:22:06

Some violets.

0:22:060:22:07

-African violets.

-Violets.

0:22:070:22:09

Uh-huh.

0:22:090:22:11

And where did you live, Mr Faure, before the marriage?

0:22:100:22:14

Oh, all over the place.

0:22:140:22:17

In the park one night.

0:22:180:22:20

-And where do you work?

-Pardon?

0:22:230:22:25

My husband's a composer.

0:22:250:22:27

He's working on an important composition right now,

0:22:270:22:29

based on his African research.

0:22:290:22:32

A composer! We don't have a note of that.

0:22:320:22:35

And, uh, you write what - rock'n'roll?

0:22:350:22:39

Ballet.

0:22:400:22:42

I write for the ballet.

0:22:420:22:44

Ballet!

0:22:440:22:45

Your statement on your passport application

0:22:450:22:48

said you had no criminal convictions.

0:22:480:22:50

Is that a true and correct statement?

0:22:500:22:52

Of course.

0:22:530:22:54

Do you speak French, Mrs Faure?

0:22:540:22:56

Oh, not really.

0:22:560:22:58

-Si, un peu, vraiment parfait.

-Not exactly.

0:22:580:23:01

No barrier to love though, hmm?

0:23:010:23:03

HE CLEARS THROAT

0:23:030:23:04

Well, that about does it.

0:23:040:23:08

We're sorry to have troubled you.

0:23:090:23:11

There's been a major clampdown on illegal aliens

0:23:110:23:14

marrying for residency status and the Green Card.

0:23:140:23:17

It's come down from the top.

0:23:180:23:20

-The White House.

-Mmm.

0:23:200:23:23

Well, you don't want to get the wrong type.

0:23:230:23:26

Precisely.

0:23:260:23:27

We understand.

0:23:270:23:29

As a matter of curiosity, how did you two meet?

0:23:290:23:33

I'm sure it was very romantic.

0:23:330:23:35

-We...

-Well...er...

0:23:390:23:41

-You go ahead.

-No, you, please.

0:23:410:23:43

-We just...

-We crashed into each other. Boom!

0:23:430:23:45

-Like that.

-Goodness!

0:23:450:23:47

I was carrying a lot of parcels.

0:23:470:23:49

-Parcels?

-Yes, parcels.

0:23:490:23:51

And Anton, don't forget about Anton.

0:23:510:23:53

-Anton, yes.

-He was with Georges.

0:23:530:23:55

-I knew him.

-He helped pick up the parcels.

0:23:550:23:58

Actually, darling, he introduced us.

0:23:580:24:00

-So he did.

-Mmm.

0:24:000:24:02

He did, yes. Anton.

0:24:020:24:04

And?

0:24:040:24:06

-Well...

-So...

0:24:060:24:08

-It was raining.

-Oh, yes, we got soaked.

0:24:080:24:10

I took one of her parcels when I picked up mine.

0:24:100:24:14

You had parcels too?

0:24:140:24:16

-Ah.

-Everyone had parcels.

0:24:160:24:18

So many parcels.

0:24:180:24:20

So I... I...

0:24:200:24:21

-I picked up one of hers.

-By mistake.

0:24:210:24:24

So I had my parcels and her parcel.

0:24:240:24:28

And I was...

0:24:280:24:30

..staggering around.

0:24:310:24:33

Like this.

0:24:330:24:34

PHONE RINGS

0:24:340:24:36

And...er...

0:24:420:24:43

Yeah.

0:24:430:24:45

PHONE CONTINUES TO RING

0:24:450:24:46

Somebody better get the telephone.

0:24:460:24:49

-Couldn't be for me.

-It could be, dear.

0:24:490:24:52

But don't worry, I'll get it.

0:24:510:24:54

We don't want to have a husband-and-wife fight now.

0:24:530:24:57

Hello.

0:25:000:25:01

Phil! You're still upstate, aren't you?

0:25:010:25:04

No, I'm not glad you're there.

0:25:050:25:07

Do go on, Mr Faure.

0:25:070:25:08

Phil, I can't talk right now.

0:25:080:25:10

-Hmm?

-The parcels?

0:25:100:25:12

-You said you had her parcels.

-Oh, yes.

0:25:120:25:15

-Yes.

-I'm excited.

0:25:150:25:17

-So I found this extra parcel.

-I'll call you back.

0:25:170:25:20

I had nine and now 10.

0:25:200:25:22

"What was going on?" I said to myself.

0:25:220:25:25

And I open it and it was...er...

0:25:250:25:28

ladies' underwears.

0:25:280:25:31

Ladies' underwear?

0:25:310:25:33

Exactement.

0:25:320:25:34

-So...

-Oh!

0:25:340:25:36

-Mm-hm.

-I called Anton.

0:25:360:25:38

And he said it must belong to Betty.

0:25:380:25:42

You mean Bronte?

0:25:430:25:44

Yes. Bronte.

0:25:460:25:49

But I didn't know her name.

0:25:490:25:51

And...er...so...

0:25:510:25:54

Now I did.

0:25:540:25:55

-That's it.

-Oh, yeah.

0:25:550:25:58

May I use your bathroom?

0:25:580:25:59

Hmm?

0:25:590:26:01

Bathroom?

0:26:010:26:02

What for?

0:26:020:26:04

Oh, well, I need to use it... er...a bathroom.

0:26:070:26:10

Oh!

0:26:100:26:12

-Please, go ahead.

-Where is it?

0:26:120:26:14

-What?

-The lavatory.

0:26:140:26:17

Could you show me where it is?

0:26:170:26:19

Oh, yes.

0:26:190:26:21

Please, follow me.

0:26:210:26:22

Am I whispering?

0:26:230:26:25

Oh, that's great.

0:26:270:26:28

Just great.

0:26:280:26:30

Oh, that used to be the bathroom.

0:26:460:26:49

Before the renovations.

0:26:490:26:51

I keep forgetting.

0:26:510:26:53

Oh...

0:26:540:26:55

We made the broom closet into the bedroom, you see?

0:26:550:26:59

And this door is the bathroom.

0:26:590:27:01

Voila.

0:27:010:27:02

Let him move into my apartment? What are you saying?

0:27:100:27:13

Don't look so shocked.

0:27:130:27:14

Frankly, young lady, I think your priorities are all wrong.

0:27:140:27:18

You married a stranger to get a greenhouse.

0:27:180:27:20

That shocked me!

0:27:200:27:22

I'm old-fashioned when it comes to marriage.

0:27:220:27:24

I think love has something to do with it.

0:27:240:27:27

You don't? Fine.

0:27:270:27:29

But if marrying a stranger doesn't shock you,

0:27:290:27:31

letting him sleep on the sofa for a few nights

0:27:310:27:35

shouldn't shock you either.

0:27:350:27:36

This isn't happening to me!

0:27:360:27:38

There's a second interview on Monday.

0:27:380:27:40

It's Friday. That gives you the weekend.

0:27:400:27:42

Two days! Why can't he just meet me here in the park?

0:27:420:27:46

Because this interview will be in-depth.

0:27:460:27:48

They'll question you separately.

0:27:480:27:49

They'll want to know the colour of each other's toothbrush.

0:27:490:27:52

What does he like eating? Does he snore?

0:27:520:27:55

You're gonna have to study each other's habits.

0:27:550:27:58

It's like cramming for an exam.

0:27:580:28:00

Oh, God! Is there no alternative?

0:28:000:28:02

Sure. You can confess everything now.

0:28:020:28:04

He'll be deported, you could face charges and no more greenhouse.

0:28:040:28:08

-It's like living in a police state.

-No.

0:28:080:28:11

It's called "breaking the law".

0:28:110:28:13

However trivial it seemed to you at the time,

0:28:130:28:16

that's what you've done.

0:28:160:28:17

Anyway, I think you should introduce Georges

0:28:170:28:20

to some of your friends.

0:28:200:28:21

-What?

-Let him get to know them.

0:28:210:28:24

Say he's visiting from Paris.

0:28:240:28:25

I couldn't bear that.

0:28:250:28:27

He's such a slob.

0:28:270:28:28

-Nobody will know.

-That's up to you.

0:28:280:28:31

But listen, get that story straight.

0:28:310:28:34

Oh, by Monday evening, this will all be over.

0:28:340:28:38

And you can start planning the divorce.

0:28:380:28:40

I can't wait.

0:28:400:28:42

For your pond.

0:29:120:29:14

Oh, right.

0:29:150:29:16

Thank you. I'll show you around.

0:29:160:29:18

There's not much to see.

0:29:180:29:20

You know where the bathroom is.

0:29:200:29:22

Go on! Go on!

0:29:380:29:40

Shoo! Shoo!

0:29:400:29:42

HE WHISTLES

0:29:460:29:48

Do you mind not smoking inside?

0:30:010:30:04

HE SLURPS

0:30:100:30:12

-What's this?

-It's coffee.

0:30:160:30:17

-No.

-Yes, it is.

0:30:170:30:19

It's decaf.

0:30:190:30:21

Look, do you have any real coffee?

0:30:210:30:23

I'm afraid not.

0:30:230:30:25

I'll make you the best coffee you ever had.

0:30:250:30:28

I only drink decaf.

0:30:280:30:29

You'll change when you taste this.

0:30:290:30:32

I don't want anyone knowing about this, OK?

0:30:330:30:35

We need a story in case we meet my friends.

0:30:350:30:38

Something simple.

0:30:380:30:40

You're an old friend. I admire your ballet music.

0:30:400:30:43

-You're visiting from Paris.

-Mm-hm.

0:30:430:30:45

You're staying for a couple of nights.

0:30:440:30:47

-You're gay.

-Gay?

0:30:470:30:49

-I don't want to be gay.

-OK.

0:30:490:30:51

You're not gay. Just an old friend.

0:30:510:30:54

-The hotels are all booked up.

-Oh.

0:30:540:30:56

Not a very good story.

0:30:560:30:58

Think of a better one.

0:30:580:30:59

Oh!

0:30:590:31:01

I don't know. Something political?

0:31:010:31:03

Terrorist, maybe?

0:31:060:31:08

No.

0:31:090:31:10

Not a terrorist, but political's good.

0:31:100:31:12

A refugee. That's it.

0:31:120:31:14

That'll work.

0:31:140:31:16

Yes!

0:31:160:31:17

No, we don't say anything.

0:31:170:31:19

Just a friend staying for a few nights.

0:31:190:31:21

This is New York.

0:31:210:31:23

-You're right.

-Mmm.

0:31:230:31:24

OK, you sleep on the couch and we split expenses.

0:31:240:31:28

I'll cook, hmm?

0:31:290:31:31

Oh!

0:31:390:31:40

Oh.

0:31:400:31:42

MAN SPEAKS SPANISH

0:31:430:31:45

Good.

0:31:550:31:56

Doesn't smell good, put it back, please.

0:32:010:32:04

-For your birds?

-What?

0:32:180:32:19

-This is birdseed, no?

-It's muesli.

0:32:190:32:21

Put it back. I'll get some croissants.

0:32:210:32:23

But I like birdseed.

0:32:230:32:25

-No, OK.

-No, go ahead.

0:32:290:32:31

-Go ahead.

-No, please.

0:32:310:32:33

Oh!

0:32:350:32:36

Bee? Bronte?

0:32:390:32:42

Oh, it is you!

0:32:420:32:44

-Hi!

-Lauren, what are you doing here?

0:32:440:32:46

What am I doing here?

0:32:460:32:48

I'm like, you know, buying food.

0:32:480:32:50

Well, it's just not your neighbourhood.

0:32:500:32:53

Mother's having another musical soiree.

0:32:530:32:54

I'm picking her up a few things.

0:32:540:32:57

-When do I see your new apartment?

-Hi.

0:32:570:32:59

Hi.

0:32:590:33:01

You're together?

0:33:050:33:07

Sort of.

0:33:060:33:08

This is an old friend Georges Faure.

0:33:080:33:11

-This is Lauren Adler.

-Hi, Lauren.

0:33:110:33:13

Ooh, that accent! You're French, right?

0:33:130:33:16

-Oui.

-Oui!

0:33:160:33:17

Exactement. This is so weird.

0:33:170:33:19

Everything in my life is French lately.

0:33:190:33:21

Monday, I buy a French jacket.

0:33:210:33:23

Wednesday, I see a French movie.

0:33:230:33:25

Then last night, Tony says "Let's eat French."

0:33:250:33:27

It's like Carl Jung...what do you call it...coincidence, something?

0:33:270:33:32

Coincidence, exactement, really.

0:33:320:33:34

Oh. Is that so?

0:33:340:33:36

Nice to meet you, Bronte's French friend.

0:33:360:33:38

Mmm.

0:33:380:33:40

-Well, Lauren...

-Look.

0:33:400:33:42

If you want to eat French again, I'm cooking.

0:33:410:33:45

For Bronte.

0:33:440:33:46

Hmm?

0:33:460:33:47

-Er...

-Mm-hm?

0:33:470:33:49

I'd live in the south of France all the time.

0:33:530:33:56

-Yes.

-Oh, thanks.

0:33:560:33:58

The last time was for six months.

0:33:580:34:01

You carried it through like that?

0:34:010:34:03

Oh, Mr Faure!

0:34:030:34:04

Kids, meet Mr Faure.

0:34:040:34:06

-He's been in Africa.

-Hi.

0:34:060:34:07

-Bonjour.

-Kids, huh?

0:34:070:34:09

Maybe you two will think about starting a family soon.

0:34:090:34:12

-Shh!

-Oh, shh.

0:34:120:34:14

-Georges!

-Yes.

0:34:140:34:15

Georges, hold the elevator!

0:34:150:34:17

Wait! Going up.

0:34:170:34:18

Hold it!

0:34:190:34:21

Hold it.

0:34:210:34:22

-ELEVATOR BUZZES

-Going up!

0:34:220:34:24

Wait for me!

0:34:240:34:26

They should fix those doors.

0:34:300:34:32

Somebody get killed around here.

0:34:320:34:34

What did those government people want?

0:34:420:34:44

-It's nothing.

-We don't know exactly.

0:34:440:34:47

-What's this?

-Georges's visa...minor problem.

0:34:470:34:50

They said, "Does Mr Faure do this and that?"

0:34:500:34:53

And about Mrs Faure.

0:34:530:34:55

"Did she go to Africa?"

0:34:550:34:57

-And so on.

-Mrs Faure?

0:34:570:34:59

(Georges's mother.)

0:35:000:35:01

She died in Africa.

0:35:010:35:03

Oh, I'm sorry.

0:35:030:35:05

Yes. Killed by the elephants.

0:35:050:35:08

Elephants.

0:35:080:35:10

HE SINGS

0:35:110:35:13

I could sit and watch you all day, Georges.

0:35:180:35:21

You're lucky, Bee, having a French chef as a guest.

0:35:210:35:24

Stop it, Lauren.

0:35:240:35:26

What are you doing in New York, Georges?

0:35:260:35:29

-Just crashed and...

-Georges is a political...

0:35:290:35:31

-You go on.

-No, go on.

0:35:310:35:33

-No, you, please.

-A political what?

0:35:330:35:35

Political...ballet.

0:35:360:35:39

I can't imagine a political ballet.

0:35:410:35:43

-You know, sort of a...

-HE SINGS

0:35:430:35:47

Georges writes for the ballet.

0:35:470:35:48

-He's an old friend. He's...

-Not gay.

0:35:480:35:51

-Of course not!

-Good.

0:35:510:35:53

He just couldn't find a hotel and he's been in Africa.

0:35:530:35:56

-Look, we're old friends.

-Yeah.

0:35:560:35:58

So I don't fuck her.

0:35:580:36:01

HE SINGS

0:36:010:36:03

What? Did you kill somebody for this place?

0:36:070:36:10

You probably cut them up and used them for mulch.

0:36:100:36:13

This is amazing. So's your French friend.

0:36:130:36:15

-I want details later.

-Oh, Lauren, please!

0:36:150:36:18

My mother would adore this.

0:36:180:36:21

Oh, speaking of my mother, guess what.

0:36:200:36:23

She and Daddy are leaving New York.

0:36:230:36:25

No! What about her beautiful garden?

0:36:250:36:27

They're leaving it.

0:36:270:36:29

I've told Daddy about the Green Worms.

0:36:290:36:31

-Green Guerillas.

-Yeah, well.

0:36:310:36:32

Being this great old liberal,

0:36:320:36:36

he'd like to give you and your group all the plants.

0:36:350:36:38

No. Not those beautiful trees?

0:36:380:36:41

The trees, the plants, everything.

0:36:410:36:43

That's fantastic. Our stocks are so low.

0:36:430:36:45

We're desperate for plants.

0:36:450:36:47

Wait a minute, there's a problem.

0:36:470:36:49

-Mother won't hear of it.

-CORK POPS

0:36:490:36:51

If you talk to her, maybe she'll change her mind.

0:36:510:36:55

-GEORGES SINGS

-Georges!

0:36:550:36:57

-Ca c'est fantastique.

-Non!

0:36:570:36:59

-Ah, oui!

-C'est normale.

0:36:590:37:02

Bronte, you didn't eat anything.

0:37:010:37:04

It's not my kind of food.

0:37:040:37:06

She likes birdseed.

0:37:060:37:07

It's just not healthy, all that butter.

0:37:070:37:09

What's the point of life if you don't enjoy yourself?

0:37:090:37:12

Do you mind?

0:37:120:37:14

You're like an old married couple.

0:37:150:37:17

How did you two meet?

0:37:190:37:20

Well, you know, Lauren, I was carrying a lot of parcels.

0:37:200:37:25

Lauren, it's a long story.

0:37:250:37:27

Can I tell you later?

0:37:270:37:29

I've got lots of cataloguing.

0:37:290:37:31

I can take a hint.

0:37:310:37:32

-No, finish your wine.

-Oh.

0:37:320:37:34

-Merci.

-There's a bit more.

0:37:340:37:36

OK?

0:37:360:37:37

-Nice meeting you, Georges.

-You too, Lauren.

0:37:370:37:39

-Au revoir.

-Au revoir. See you again.

0:37:390:37:43

LAUREN GIGGLES

0:37:430:37:44

-He's gorgeous.

-Lauren, look, I...

0:37:450:37:49

I can say this now. I didn't like Phil.

0:37:490:37:52

So earnest, my God!

0:37:520:37:53

Phil and I are still together.

0:37:530:37:55

Oh, I'm sorry.

0:37:550:37:56

I'm so embarrassed. I mean I like Phil.

0:37:560:37:59

He's very concerned about the environment and all that.

0:37:590:38:02

-Yes, he is.

-Typical me, putting my foot in it.

0:38:020:38:05

Forget it.

0:38:050:38:07

In that case, I wouldn't mind seeing Georges again.

0:38:070:38:10

He's dishy.

0:38:100:38:11

-Gardeners are so weird. Ciao.

-Bye, Lauren.

0:38:110:38:14

HE HUMS

0:38:160:38:18

Why did you ask her for lunch?

0:38:200:38:22

This is my apartment.

0:38:220:38:24

Oh, this won't work.

0:38:240:38:25

It won't work if I don't know about you.

0:38:250:38:28

That silly story about the parcels.

0:38:280:38:30

Your mother, the elephants, lying to my friends.

0:38:300:38:33

It's all so horrible.

0:38:330:38:35

I know you've got a cigarette there. Smoke it outside.

0:38:350:38:38

You began lying when you married.

0:38:420:38:44

I didn't make you.

0:38:440:38:45

-I didn't ask her to lunch.

-Always blaming me.

0:38:450:38:48

-You did it too.

-What?

0:38:480:38:50

Married me. I did it for the Green Card.

0:38:500:38:53

-Why did you? No-one made you.

-Outside! Outside!

0:38:530:38:56

Push me to be a beast, I'll be a beast.

0:38:560:38:59

So take care!

0:38:590:39:00

Now look what you've done.

0:39:000:39:02

You silly... French...oaf!

0:39:020:39:05

Oh!

0:39:150:39:17

BROKEN GLASS TINKLES

0:39:300:39:32

Oh!

PHONE RINGS

0:39:420:39:44

-Hello.

-Hey, it's me.

0:39:490:39:51

I wanted to thank you for lunch.

0:39:510:39:53

That greenhouse... I'm so jealous.

0:39:530:39:55

Oh, Lauren, I'm so sorry about lying to you.

0:39:550:39:58

What are you talking about?

0:39:580:40:00

Not telling you. Not having you over here before.

0:40:000:40:03

You're my oldest friend.

0:40:030:40:04

Oh, please forget it, Bee.

0:40:040:40:06

I haven't been myself lately, you're right about that.

0:40:060:40:09

Things are complicated right now.

0:40:100:40:12

Mother's having this dinner party tonight.

0:40:120:40:14

I just spoke to her and she's invited you.

0:40:140:40:17

Great chance to work on her about the trees.

0:40:170:40:20

You could bring Georges.

0:40:210:40:23

What are you doing in here?

0:40:410:40:43

I bought some beautiful tomatoes for you.

0:40:430:40:46

Oh, look, that's sweet, but...

0:40:460:40:50

And outside, come on.

0:40:500:40:51

Outside.

0:40:510:40:53

Look, here we have a radish, peppers, carrots...

0:40:530:40:56

Oh, no, my plants.

0:40:560:40:57

Weeds. I pulled them out.

0:40:570:40:59

-This is my research.

-Oh, I'm sorry.

0:40:590:41:01

-I bought this for you.

-Don't touch anything.

0:41:010:41:04

-OK.

-Don't go in the greenhouse anymore.

0:41:040:41:06

That's all I ask.

0:41:060:41:07

It's my special place.

0:41:070:41:09

Oh!

0:41:090:41:11

You like plants better than people.

0:41:110:41:13

Some people.

0:41:130:41:14

Oh!

0:41:140:41:16

BIRDS FLUTTER

0:41:280:41:30

Oh, God!

0:41:340:41:36

Look, truce, OK?

0:41:550:41:57

I don't make the war.

0:42:000:42:01

You asked before why I did it, the marriage.

0:42:040:42:07

-Well, it was for the greenhouse.

-Greenhouse?

0:42:070:42:10

I don't expect you to understand.

0:42:100:42:12

Oh, I understand.

0:42:120:42:13

You want something, you take it, hmm?

0:42:130:42:18

We work tonight?

0:42:210:42:22

Study? Just like school.

0:42:220:42:24

I have to go out.

0:42:240:42:26

Then I'll come too.

0:42:260:42:27

-No.

-Why?

0:42:270:42:29

Ah, your boyfriend, the vegetarian.

0:42:290:42:31

-No, he's away.

-So!

0:42:310:42:32

No! It's Lauren's parents' place, snob types, you'd call them.

0:42:320:42:37

-Oh, I will embarrass you, huh?

-No!

0:42:370:42:39

-Yes, too much oaf.

-No!

0:42:390:42:41

The Adlers are thinking about giving some trees

0:42:410:42:44

to a gardening group I'm in.

0:42:440:42:46

-What's that?

-Oh, it's just a gardening group.

0:42:460:42:48

We go into poor areas like the Lower East Side.

0:42:480:42:52

I came from there. You waste your time.

0:42:520:42:54

-What?

-Yeah.

0:42:540:42:56

Nothing changes down there.

0:42:560:42:57

It will always be that way.

0:42:570:42:59

-Forget about it.

-Forget?

0:42:590:43:01

Yeah. Look, the trees are very good.

0:43:010:43:03

Sure, sure. But you can't eat the trees.

0:43:030:43:06

Well, nothing changes without hope.

0:43:060:43:08

You think gardens make hope?

0:43:080:43:09

Well, it's something.

0:43:090:43:11

Go to the country if you want trees.

0:43:110:43:14

Try telling that to the children.

0:43:140:43:16

They live with...chaos.

0:43:160:43:18

Despair.

0:43:180:43:20

You may think it's nothing to give them a garden or trees

0:43:200:43:24

but at least it's something.

0:43:240:43:25

If it amuses you, do it.

0:43:270:43:29

Amuses me?

0:43:290:43:30

Oh! Oh!

TYRES SQUEAL

Your hair looks better down.

0:44:290:44:30

I'll be back by 10pm. We'll work then.

0:44:320:44:34

Please don't answer the phone.

Don't be late.

Bronte! How exquisite you look.

0:45:300:45:32

-Thank you for asking me.

-Not at all.

0:45:320:45:35

Wonderful to see you.

0:45:350:45:36

Apparently you've got a brilliant new apartment.

0:45:360:45:38

Yes. Is Lauren here yet?

0:45:380:45:40

The question wasn't about pornography.

0:45:400:45:42

The question was whether it qualifies as art.

0:45:420:45:45

But your own daughter! Have you seen the stuff she does?

0:45:450:45:49

Lafayette was on the horse.

0:45:490:45:50

Then he got off the horse

0:45:500:45:52

and saluted my ancestor on both cheeks.

0:45:520:45:55

-Kisses.

-Did he need to get off?

0:45:550:45:57

It's stupid for these environmentalists to plant trees

0:45:570:46:00

when they don't know what they're doing.

0:46:000:46:02

They don't listen to me, needless to say.

0:46:020:46:05

Of course, I'm just your average layman.

But I have written the appropriate...

GUESTS LAUGH

0:46:180:46:20

-At last!

-Hi, Mother.

0:46:230:46:26

This is Georges Faure from Paris.

0:46:250:46:28

Hi!

0:46:280:46:30

-Oh...

-Come on in, Georges.

0:46:300:46:32

Georges is Bronte's house guest. She's too shy to bring him.

0:46:320:46:36

-You don't mind, Mother?

-Of course not!

0:46:360:46:38

I found him all alone at Bronte's.

0:46:380:46:40

Soyez le bienvenu. Do come in.

0:46:400:46:42

Georges is a very important composer.

0:46:420:46:44

-No, no.

-You'll have lots to talk about.

0:46:440:46:47

Tres interessant, Monsieur!

0:46:470:46:48

Mother plays the piano a little. Get it? A little.

0:46:480:46:51

Alberto, another place if you will.

0:46:520:46:56

Everybody, I'd like to present Georges Faure.

0:46:560:46:59

A leading French composer.

0:46:590:47:02

-Ah, bonsoir.

-Oh, no. No.

0:47:020:47:04

-Bonsoir.

-Bonsoir.

0:47:040:47:06

Good evening.

MURMUR OF CONVERSATION

0:47:110:47:15

Do you live in Paris, Georges?

0:47:150:47:18

Bronte, he was all by himself. I think he wanted to come.

0:47:180:47:22

It's OK. It's OK.

0:47:220:47:23

Simon and Grace are about to celebrate

0:47:230:47:25

their 40th wedding anniversary.

0:47:250:47:27

THEY CONGRATULATE

0:47:270:47:30

-WOMAN:

-How long have you been married?

0:47:340:47:37

MAN: 25 years.

0:47:370:47:38

Are you married, Georges?

0:47:380:47:40

-Me?

-Mm-hm.

0:47:420:47:44

Well...not usually.

0:47:440:47:46

Whatever do you mean?

0:47:470:47:49

Oh, well...

0:47:490:47:51

Not normally.

0:47:510:47:53

-You're getting divorced.

-Yes, definitely.

0:47:530:47:55

Bee, you'll never get married.

0:47:580:48:00

What makes you say that?

0:48:000:48:01

You've turned down enough offers.

0:48:010:48:03

You'll wind up some grand old Kate Hepburn

0:48:030:48:06

surrounded by beautiful plants.

0:48:060:48:07

Most men are too boring or vulgar to spend your life with.

0:48:070:48:11

Change your brand of men.

0:48:110:48:13

-Oh, really?

-Really, Bee.

0:48:130:48:15

You're nice, you look for that in the man.

0:48:150:48:18

That makes two..."nices".

0:48:180:48:19

"Nice"...ugh...what an awful word.

0:48:190:48:22

Well, Phil's nice isn't he?

0:48:220:48:23

Phil's different. He's a gardener.

0:48:230:48:25

-Are you any relation?

-Relation?

0:48:270:48:31

-Any relation to THE Faures?

-Who's that?

0:48:310:48:35

1:09:261:09:27

-Hello, darling.

-Hi.

1:09:271:09:29

-We'll talk later.

-How about the drums?

1:09:291:09:31

-(Later.)

-What?

1:09:311:09:32

I'll speak to you later.

1:09:321:09:34

If you'd called, I would've prepared something.

1:09:341:09:37

I made you something.

1:09:371:09:38

Since you never visit, it's up to us.

1:09:381:09:41

No, it's not that.

1:09:411:09:42

Your father had to see someone...

1:09:421:09:45

Hokey sort of entrance.

1:09:451:09:46

Oh, it's lovely.

1:09:461:09:48

This is Georges.

1:09:511:09:52

Hello.

1:09:521:09:54

Hi.

1:09:541:09:55

The handyman.

1:09:561:09:58

-Oh.

-Finish up the work, Georges.

1:10:011:10:04

Yeah, right. I just finish my work.

1:10:041:10:06

Darling, it's beautiful.

1:10:061:10:07

-Pardon!

-Eh?

1:10:071:10:09

I understand your excitement.

1:10:091:10:10

It's awfully small.

1:10:101:10:12

Did they sign the big contracts, Dad?

1:10:121:10:14

We're not discussing that.

1:10:141:10:16

Did they sign? No!

1:10:161:10:17

They backed out. Liars! They lied to me.

1:10:171:10:20

Dear, don't upset yourself.

1:10:201:10:22

One thing I can't stand is a liar!

1:10:221:10:25

Read your paper, dear. We'll look at the greenhouse.

1:10:251:10:28

-He's upset.

-Oh, yes.

1:10:281:10:29

Oh, it is too beautiful!

1:10:291:10:32

You want a hand there, Georges?

1:10:331:10:35

Thanks, I'm just measuring.

1:10:351:10:38

Oh.

1:10:381:10:39

Measuring.

1:10:391:10:41

She's had the baby already - premature.

1:10:431:10:45

-Premature? What did they name her?

-Tiffany.

1:10:451:10:47

Now they have a Tiffany and a Tarquin.

1:10:471:10:50

Thank you.

1:10:511:10:52

-Pretentious.

-Dear.

1:10:521:10:54

He's a pretentious writer too.

1:10:541:10:55

-Ho-ho.

-He is.

1:10:551:10:57

-Don't you think so?

-You're in a bad mood.

1:10:571:11:00

I need a screw.

1:11:001:11:01

Pardon?

1:11:021:11:04

I really need a screw.

1:11:041:11:06

I thought you were leaving.

1:11:081:11:10

I'll fix the door, but I need...

1:11:091:11:12

In the cupboard under the sink.

1:11:121:11:14

I'm gonna help Georges.

1:11:141:11:16

He seems a bit lost.

1:11:161:11:18

Let's get those orchids.

1:11:241:11:26

-I'm sure you want to go.

-Oh, no, dear.

1:11:261:11:29

We're not in a hurry...not at all.

1:11:291:11:32

You're not really a handyman, are you, Georges?

1:11:341:11:37

No.

1:11:431:11:45

I'm a composer.

1:11:451:11:46

Oh.

1:11:461:11:48

I used to be a cleaner, when I first started writing.

1:11:481:11:51

A long, long time ago.

1:11:511:11:53

We'd just got married.

1:11:531:11:55

Against the wishes of my parents, I might add.

1:11:551:11:58

Didn't have a bean.

1:11:581:12:00

We fell in love right off.

1:12:001:12:02

Oh, it was difficult, very difficult, but, you know...

1:12:021:12:06

..when you're in love, you know.

1:12:061:12:08

-Shipboard romance, it was.

-Excuse me.

1:12:081:12:11

-I'll get it.

-It's OK. No.

1:12:121:12:14

Bronte, come here a minute. What is this?

1:12:211:12:24

Thank you.

1:12:341:12:35

It was right in the middle of a lifeboat drill.

1:12:351:12:38

We suddenly found ourselves in the same boat.

1:12:381:12:41

Shouldn't you be going, Georges?

1:12:431:12:45

No, go on outside with your mother.

1:12:451:12:47

-Outside!

-But...

1:12:471:12:49

We have everything under control.

1:12:491:12:51

Go on, out you go.

1:12:511:12:52

We've been talking about music and love and skiing.

1:12:521:12:56

And all manner of things.

1:12:571:12:59

-Haven't we, Georges?

-LAUGHS NERVOUSLY:

-Yes.

1:12:591:13:01

Oh, I like your Georges, Bronte.

1:13:031:13:06

Charming man.

1:13:061:13:07

He's not MY Georges, Mother. He should've left by now.

1:13:071:13:11

He's keeping your father happy,

1:13:111:13:12

and you know how restless he gets, so let's be grateful.

1:13:121:13:16

I know, I saw it.

1:13:471:13:51

Correct. OK, my turn.

1:13:511:13:53

SHE SIGHS Eyes...green.

1:13:531:13:56

-Height...

1:13:551:13:58

-Oh, no.

-Yes.

Height...ah, 5'11".

1:14:011:14:03

Yeah.

1:14:031:14:05

Um, weight...

1:14:051:14:07

Uf! Weight! You worry too much about weight.

1:14:071:14:10

-Um, at 17 you met Helene.

-Yeah.

1:14:101:14:13

-She was at the University of Paris.

-Oui.

1:14:131:14:15

She taught you to read and write music,

1:14:151:14:18

and you lived together for...

1:14:181:14:20

-Seven.

-..seven years...

1:14:201:14:22

..until she died.

1:14:221:14:23

Then you gave up your music for many years.

1:14:231:14:26

-Right?

-Yes, but I don't write any music.

1:14:261:14:29

I just play piano always in the bar.

1:14:291:14:32

Yes!

1:14:321:14:33

And Anton heard you one night in Paris

1:14:341:14:37

and said he would help you start over in America.

1:14:371:14:40

And I wake up in America -

1:14:401:14:42

beautiful country, land of opportunity.

1:14:421:14:44

Ho-ho-ho-ho.

1:14:441:14:46

OK, back to work.

1:14:481:14:50

Um...

1:14:501:14:51

You lived with two men.

1:14:521:14:54

First Peter, then Steven - both nice guys.

1:14:541:14:57

-Nice?!

-Yes, that's what you said. Yes.

1:14:571:15:01

And Steven wanted to marry you, but you think marriage is boring.

1:15:011:15:05

Ah! Except for ours.

1:15:051:15:06

Oh, yeah.

1:15:061:15:08

Then you met Phil.

1:15:081:15:10

Phil.

1:15:121:15:13

Him you really love, huh?

1:15:141:15:16

But you can't tell them that.

1:15:161:15:18

And I left Phil...

1:15:201:15:23

And married me because...

1:15:231:15:24

You're different and...funny.

1:15:251:15:28

And don't forget... a good handyman.

1:15:281:15:31

Right.

1:15:311:15:32

You've had lots of women,

1:15:341:15:36

but you haven't really loved anyone since Helene, except for me.

1:15:361:15:40

And you fell in love with me because...

1:15:401:15:43

Ah.

1:15:431:15:45

What's a good reason?

1:15:441:15:46

I just can't think.

1:15:461:15:48

Can't be that hard to think of a reason.

1:15:491:15:52

Ah, let me see.

1:15:521:15:54

Ah!

1:15:551:15:56

There must be a reason!

1:15:571:15:59

Ooh, yes.

1:16:021:16:04

Yes.

1:16:041:16:06

Because I begin to hear music again.

1:16:071:16:09

..like Moma's little girl.

1:16:141:16:15

-Yeah?

-The same thing.

1:16:151:16:17

HORNS BLARE

1:16:181:16:20

No, I gave you a five, right? OK.

1:16:231:16:26

-What is it?

-Nothing.

1:16:271:16:28

What?

1:16:281:16:30

Don't wait up for me.

1:16:301:16:32

Phil!

1:16:321:16:33

-Phil!

-Hey-hey!

1:16:341:16:37

Hey!

1:16:391:16:41

Oh!

1:16:411:16:42

-Let's go to your place.

-Wait.

1:16:461:16:48

-Or round to Angelo's for dinner.

-No.

1:16:481:16:51

-God, I'm hungry.

-No, no, no, no.

1:16:511:16:53

No, no. It's all right. I've made a reservation.

1:16:531:16:56

Let's go have dinner just around the corner.

1:16:561:16:59

No, I have it all planned.

1:16:591:17:01

-Come on.

-No, no.

1:17:011:17:02

-What did you do while I was away?

-Not much.

1:17:021:17:06

Not much? Did you miss me?

1:17:061:17:08

-Oh, yes.

-Yes?

1:17:081:17:10

I missed you a lot.

1:17:101:17:11

-Sure you missed me?

-Of course.

1:17:111:17:13

-You sure?

-Yes!

1:17:131:17:15

Doesn't look like it.

1:17:151:17:16

No, it looks like I missed you more than you missed me.

1:17:161:17:20

It's not true.

1:17:201:17:22

You should've been there - it was beautiful.

1:17:261:17:29

I saw us there.

1:17:281:17:30

In the middle of nowhere, grow our own food.

1:17:301:17:33

One night there was this incredible moon.

1:17:331:17:35

-You should've seen it.

-We had the same moon.

1:17:351:17:38

But you should've seen it without all the pollution.

1:17:381:17:41

It was glorious.

1:17:411:17:43

It was a cloudy night, then this giant shaft of moonlight

1:17:431:17:46

suddenly breaks through the clouds.

1:17:461:17:48

It was all of a sudden like daytime.

1:17:481:17:51

Giant shadows being cast from the trees.

1:17:511:17:54

HE HUMS

1:18:081:18:10

HE LAUGHS

1:18:151:18:17

Oh.

1:19:111:19:13

Oh, lovely...

1:19:171:19:18

KEYS JANGLE

1:19:201:19:22

LAUGHTER Now go!

1:19:221:19:23

-No!

-Phil!

1:19:231:19:25

The guard isn't here.

1:19:251:19:27

Look, we'll get together tomorrow, OK? Please.

1:19:281:19:30

Just to the door, Bronte.

1:19:301:19:32

There might be some intruder lurking about.

1:19:321:19:37

KEYS JANGLE

1:19:421:19:43

Hey, this is nice!

1:19:441:19:46

OK, you've seen it. Time to go.

1:19:461:19:48

No, I can't go home until I've seen the greenhouse.

1:19:481:19:52

Phil, you've had too much to drink.

1:19:511:19:54

Come here.

1:19:541:19:55

-Mmm!

-Mmm!

1:19:551:19:59

Oh, you feel so good.

1:19:581:20:00

Oh, Phil, no.

1:20:001:20:02

-Please.

-Mmm!

1:20:021:20:04

-No.

-(Bronte.)

1:20:041:20:06

Phil!

1:20:061:20:08

-Mmm!

-SHE LAUGHS COYLY

1:20:081:20:09

Phil, no!

1:20:111:20:12

No.

1:20:121:20:14

You heard what she said!

1:20:141:20:15

GLASS SHATTERS

1:20:201:20:22

Merde!

1:20:221:20:23

HE GROWLS

1:20:251:20:26

She said go, OK?

1:20:271:20:29

-Who's this?

-I'll throw you out!

1:20:301:20:32

-How dare you?!

-Bronte, tell me.

1:20:321:20:34

Get out, vegetarian!

1:20:341:20:36

-Who are you?!

-Georges, no!

1:20:361:20:37

I'm the husband, that's who!

1:20:371:20:39

Argh!

1:20:391:20:41

Oh!

1:20:411:20:43

What did you say?

1:20:431:20:44

That's my wife you've been grabbing. Get out!

1:20:441:20:47

Bronte! Bronte, is this true?

1:20:481:20:51

Yes, but it's not the way you think. God!

1:20:511:20:54

-What?!

-Oh, God!

1:20:541:20:56

-Out!

-Now wait a minute!

1:20:561:20:57

Out, out, out!

1:20:571:20:59

Hey, you're the waiter from that restaurant.

1:20:591:21:02

Yes. Out! Out!

1:21:021:21:03

I don't know what's going on, but I'll find out!

1:21:031:21:07

Come on, get out! Cucumber!

1:21:061:21:08

-No!

-Now you go! Out!

1:21:171:21:19

-The interview...it's tomorrow.

-Out! Now!

1:21:191:21:22

-Are you upset?

-Upset?!

1:21:221:21:24

Upset? Out! Out!

1:21:241:21:26

-No. But the interview!

-I don't care.

1:21:261:21:28

-I don't care what happens!

-Bronte, please!

1:21:281:21:30

Go or I'll call Immigration.

1:21:301:21:32

Jail would be better than this - I'd have my own cell.

1:21:321:21:36

KNOCKING

1:21:361:21:37

Come on, don't be childish.

1:21:371:21:39

Bronte.

1:21:401:21:42

Ooh!

1:21:421:21:43

Bronte, open it. Bronte.

1:21:431:21:45

Bronte? Bronte.

1:21:471:21:49

Bronte.

1:21:501:21:51

SHE SIGHS

1:22:091:22:11

-MRS BIRD:

-Get up!

1:22:191:22:21

Go on, get up!

1:22:211:22:22

Out! Out! Out!

1:22:221:22:24

Oh, no!

1:22:241:22:26

-Up! Out!

-HE GROANS

1:22:271:22:28

Back to the subway!

1:22:281:22:30

-It's you!

-Ah, good morning, Mrs Bird.

1:22:301:22:33

Ever since you moved in there's been trouble.

1:22:331:22:36

Didn't want to wake you, cherie.

1:22:361:22:38

-You forgot your key again.

-Yes!

1:22:381:22:40

I'm always forgetting the key.

1:22:401:22:41

You should've gone to a hotel.

1:22:411:22:43

The Board wouldn't approve of such a thing!

1:22:431:22:46

Sleeping in the hallways!

1:22:461:22:47

This isn't Africa, you know!

1:22:471:22:49

I realise that, Mrs Bird. It won't happen again.

1:22:491:22:52

Mrs Bird.

1:22:521:22:53

Why did you do that last night?

1:22:551:22:57

-I don't like vegetarians.

-Ridiculous!

1:22:571:22:59

He was bothering you, I lost control.

1:22:591:23:01

Is that an apology?

1:23:011:23:02

-He's not right for you.

-Really?

1:23:021:23:04

He knows about people's feelings.

1:23:041:23:06

You don't have feeling.

1:23:061:23:07

You snore, have atrocious manners.

1:23:071:23:09

You're a snob.

1:23:091:23:11

You're a slob, you're overweight, disgusting!

1:23:111:23:13

You're a rebel, but afraid of your father.

1:23:131:23:15

My father's made something of himself.

1:23:151:23:17

You live life like it's from a book!

1:23:171:23:20

You sleep in the park.

1:23:201:23:21

You make nice love with Phil - like a vegetable. You need a fuck.

1:23:211:23:25

Language of the gutter, where you're from!

1:23:251:23:28

I'm the gutter, but you're like a plant. A cactus!

1:23:281:23:32

I had no opinion of you. Now I do... I really hate you!

1:23:321:23:36

Good, good. Your first feeling.

1:23:361:23:38

-Oh, God! The interview!

-Oh, my God!

1:23:381:23:41

-Oh!

-Oh!

1:23:431:23:45

-Do you have...

-I'll do it! I'll do it!

1:23:451:23:48

HORNS BLARE

1:23:491:23:50

-Move, you stupid moron!

-What's up?

1:23:501:23:52

Come on, we'll take the subway.

1:23:521:23:54

Take the subway, but you ain't going nowhere -

1:23:541:23:57

the water main broke.

1:23:571:23:58

-The park! Come on!

-The whole city's falling apart.

1:23:581:24:01

We'll get a cab on the other side.

1:24:011:24:04

But the park's too far, Bronte.

1:24:041:24:06

Bronte, it is too far!

1:24:061:24:08

Come on!

1:24:131:24:15

Over there.

1:24:151:24:16

This way!

1:24:191:24:21

-You sure?

-Yeah!

1:24:211:24:22

Because we can't get lost.

1:24:221:24:24

I'm sure! Of course I'm sure.

1:24:241:24:26

To the right. Right!

1:24:271:24:28

Come on, come on.

1:24:361:24:37

-Ahh!

-Don't fall. Take care.

1:24:371:24:39

SHE GASPS

1:24:431:24:45

Ohhh.

1:24:471:24:49

We're nearly there. It's not far.

1:24:491:24:52

Ohhh.

1:24:541:24:55

Come on.

1:24:551:24:57

-Taxi!

-Taxi!

1:25:021:25:04

-Taxi!

-Taxi!

1:25:041:25:06

-Taxi!

-Taxi!

1:25:061:25:08

Number 75.

1:25:091:25:11

PEOPLE TALK TOGETHER

1:25:141:25:16

We're the next.

1:25:181:25:20

Bronte...

1:25:231:25:25

OK, Lauren...

1:25:251:25:27

Father, Sydney.

1:25:291:25:31

Face cream Monticello. Monticello.

1:25:321:25:35

Monticello.

1:25:361:25:37

Is your father's name Bertrand or Bernard?

1:25:371:25:40

-Rene.

-Oh.

1:25:411:25:43

ELECTRONIC BEEP WOMAN: 76.

1:25:441:25:46

76.

1:25:461:25:48

Wait in here, Mr Faure.

1:26:131:26:15

Mrs Faure, if you'll follow me.

1:26:151:26:17

FOOTSTEPS ECHO DOWN CORRIDOR

1:26:401:26:42

FOOTSTEPS GROW LOUDER

1:26:441:26:45

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.

1:26:511:26:53

Mr Faure.

1:26:541:26:56

As you know, we have doubts that your marriage is bona fide.

1:26:561:27:00

I have some detailed questions here.

1:27:001:27:02

Your answers will help us make a determination.

1:27:021:27:05

I want you to be brief and to the point.

1:27:041:27:08

I'll ask you to raise your right hand...

1:27:081:27:10

Do you swear the evidence you're about to give

1:27:121:27:15

is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

1:27:151:27:18

I do.

1:27:181:27:20

I do.

1:27:201:27:21

Your name is Bronte Mitchell Faure?

1:27:211:27:23

Her father is a writer.

1:27:241:27:26

-His name?

-Sydney. Sydney Parrish.

1:27:261:27:29

He didn't have a formal education.

1:27:291:27:31

He ran away from home when he was 12.

1:27:311:27:34

Plants. She loves all flowers and weeds.

1:27:341:27:37

That's her research.

1:27:371:27:38

He knows I love salads.

1:27:381:27:40

He likes all fatty foods - you know, being French.

1:27:401:27:43

She likes to eat such a thing as birdseed.

1:27:431:27:47

-Birdseed?

-Yes.

1:27:471:27:48

Muesli and decaf. Ouf! Horrible coffee!

1:27:481:27:52

HE HUMS

1:27:521:27:54

-He hums all the time.

-Hums?

1:27:541:27:57

He's composing.

1:27:571:27:59

He hasn't written in a long time.

1:27:591:28:01

He says he's not sensitive.

1:28:031:28:06

But that's not true.

1:28:061:28:07

He's a very sensitive man.

1:28:071:28:09

BRONTE: He makes me laugh.

1:28:121:28:14

She's very kind to people.

1:28:151:28:17

Me, I don't think that way.

1:28:181:28:20

I don't trust people.

1:28:211:28:23

He's had a hard life.

1:28:251:28:26

In a way he hasn't learned to give

1:28:261:28:29

but he's got so much to give.

1:28:291:28:31

She has peace.

1:28:311:28:33

GORSKY WRITES BUSILY

1:28:331:28:35

I don't have peace.

1:28:341:28:36

He has passion. He eats life.

1:28:371:28:40

I'm sure that just about does it.

1:28:431:28:45

Just a few more details.

1:28:451:28:47

-Five feet eight.

-Five eleven.

1:28:471:28:50

-125.

-He won't say how much he weighs.

1:28:501:28:53

-She sleeps on the right.

-He's on the left.

1:28:531:28:56

-Her toothbrush? Green.

-Mine's green.

1:28:561:28:59

Her face cream?

1:28:591:29:01

Monticello.

1:29:041:29:06

Monaco.

1:29:081:29:10

Non. Monte Carlo.

1:29:101:29:13

That's the only answer I keep forgetting.

1:29:141:29:16

You remember all the other answers.

1:29:261:29:28

It's not her fault, so please, don't touch her.

1:29:361:29:39

I was good, I think.

1:30:181:30:19

Me too.

1:30:191:30:21

I think you'll get what you want.

1:30:241:30:26

-The Green Card.

-Oh, yes.

1:30:261:30:28

I'll see you again? I mean, I have to get my things.

1:30:311:30:35

I can leave them with Oscar.

1:30:351:30:37

Oscar, good idea, yes. Yes, you're right... Oscar.

1:30:371:30:40

As soon as we hear something we can start...

1:30:401:30:44

..you know, the divorce.

1:30:441:30:45

As soon as possible, yeah.

1:30:451:30:48

Good luck with your music.

1:30:511:30:53

I hope you get your big trees.

1:30:541:30:57

Goodbye, Georges.

1:31:011:31:03

Goodbye, Bronte.

1:31:031:31:05

Oh...

1:31:071:31:09

The ring.

1:31:091:31:11

-Madame, bijoux africains.

-No, thank you.

1:32:141:32:17

DOOR OPENS

1:32:271:32:30

DOORBELL RINGS

1:33:301:33:34

I...

1:33:381:33:40

Good morning, Mrs Faure.

1:33:401:33:42

Mr Faure asked me to give you this.

1:33:421:33:44

I guess his flight was delayed.

1:33:441:33:47

Yes. Well, thank you, Oscar.

1:33:471:33:49

SOUND OF GEORGES HUMMING HIS TUNE

1:34:051:34:09

-GEORGES:

-"Africa, Tuesday.

1:34:201:34:23

"Cherie, the elephants have been restless again,

1:34:241:34:28

"so restless, I just can't sleep.

1:34:281:34:31

"I would like to say a last goodbye

1:34:331:34:36

"before this next safari."

1:34:361:34:38

-It's OK.

-What?

1:36:461:36:48

Monticello.

1:36:491:36:51

I think I tried too hard.

1:36:511:36:53

I blew it.

1:36:531:36:55

Why didn't you tell me?

1:36:561:36:57

It's all right.

1:37:001:37:02

We made a deal.

1:37:031:37:05

If I leave quickly

1:37:051:37:06

then you keep your beautiful greenhouse.

1:37:061:37:10

I don't care about the greenhouse.

1:37:121:37:14

-GORSKY:

-It's time to go, Mr Faure.

1:37:161:37:18

No, no!

1:37:211:37:23

-I write.

-Let's go.

1:37:251:37:27

I write every day.

1:37:271:37:29

Now, Mr Faure.

1:37:291:37:30

And the letters will always say the same thing -

1:37:301:37:33

when are you coming, cherie?

1:37:331:37:35

# Last night I had a dream...

1:37:401:37:45

# Oooh... #

1:37:451:37:47

No!

1:37:471:37:49

No!

1:37:491:37:50

# About a home that was so right

1:37:501:37:53

# I don't know why

1:37:531:37:55

# It has to be a dream

1:37:551:37:58

# Why can't I, When will I... #

1:37:581:38:00

Do you still have them?

1:38:001:38:02

# Help me find a home

1:38:031:38:06

# Keep your eyes on the prize

1:38:061:38:12

# Don't be dismayed Don't be dismayed... #

1:38:121:38:18

I do.

1:38:181:38:19

# Deep in your heart you must believe

1:38:191:38:24

# Everything is gonna be all right... #

1:38:251:38:29

So do I.

1:38:291:38:31

# Everything is gonna be all right... #

1:38:311:38:37

THEY LAUGH

1:38:361:38:38

# Everything is gonna be all right

1:38:381:38:42

# Some day... #

1:38:421:38:44

BOTH LAUGH

1:38:441:38:46

# Sometimes hot and sometimes cold

1:38:491:38:55

# Sometimes I'm in Sometimes I'm out

1:38:551:39:00

# No, I haven't had much to eat

1:39:001:39:06

# Lord knows I haven't had much sleep

1:39:051:39:11

# You know, keep your eyes on the prize

1:39:101:39:17

# Don't be dismayed Don't be dismayed

1:39:171:39:23

# Deep in your heart

1:39:231:39:26

# You must believe

1:39:261:39:29

# Everything is gonna be all right

1:39:291:39:35

# Everything is gonna be all right

1:39:351:39:41

# Everything is gonna be all right some day. #
