[theme music plays]
[piano music plays]
[sneezes]
[in French] sh*t,
I think I caught Albert's cold.
Oh.
[Martin, in French]
If you're sick, stay away from me.
With the presentation
I have to do this week,
I can't afford to get a cold,
or I will never get the job.
f*ck, I just can't anymore.
What does that mean, "you can't anymore"?
What can't you anymore?
You are such a talented architect,
I can't bear the fact
that nobody can see your work here.
I had a dream job in Paris.
I dropped everything to follow you here,
because you thought
that Paris was depressing.
Isn't it depressing here too,
with the psycho we have for a president?
I can't help it if French food
is in fashion but not French design.
I know things will turn out okay
for you eventually, Martin.
I'm just very tired,
and I wish that you would sometimes
take care of the groceries
when you're in between jobs, like now.
I keep buying more and the fridge
is empty on the next day. It feels
I just can't anymore.
I'll take care of the groceries for us
if you want. No problem.
Okay, thank you.
[sneezes]
[classical string music plays]
I want to try all of their oil.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Just to try, to have it you know.
- Hey, Frank. How are you?
- Justine.
Well. You? Hi.
Look at this chanterelle!
[sniffs]
Well
They don't have any smell today.
Really?
Gjelina just placed a huge order.
Mm. No, actually,
these are extremely fragrant.
- Try that.
- [sniffs]
No, I can't smell anything.
Are you kidding?
Do you have truffles?
Oh, my God, look at these.
The true beauty.
Wonderful.
Maybe I'll take another one.
This one has been a little bit eaten
by a big worm.
Ooh, look at this one.
- Hmm.
- Perfect.
[sniffs]
[sniffs harder]
Wait. Can I bite into it?
I can't I can't taste anything.
[stammers]
What's going on?
- [sniffs]
- Oh, my God.
Nothing.
Nothing, I can't
Turmeric.
[mouth full]
I can't taste it.
Nothing. Basil, nothing.
I can't even smell
[sniffs] garlic.
- Okay, sweetie
- I'm sorry.
But what am I gonna do, Evan?
Sweetie, you have a cold,
okay?
Look, it's all good.
I can be your nose for a few days.
Thank you, Evan.
What would I do without you?
- Sorry. Sorry, Frank. I'm having
- It's okay.
a tiny panic attack.
I can't smell anything.
- I'm so depressed.
- It's okay.
I'll Venmo you.
[small dog howling]
[howling continues]
They did it again.
- Will, they left him outside.
- [howling continues]
He'll be howling all day.
- [dog yipping, howling]
- [phone buttons beep]
- [line ringing]
- Okay, I'm gonna
get started on breakfast.
- He's gonna get up soon.
- [man] Hello, Animal Services.
This is Brad speaking.
How may I help you?
- [dog howling]
- Yes, hello Brad.
- How are you?
- [dog barks]
Good, good.
Listen, I'd like to report
a howling dog.
Yeah, it belongs to my neighbors.
Well, they
they leave this poor thing
to fester in his own feces
for days on end.
Sometimes even nights.
Well, you know, I mean,
I'm an animal lover
and I just
I hope he's not being abused.
Not to mention,
we've spotted coyotes recently.
- I know.
- [dog howls]
Listen, when do you think
they'll be able
to come talk to my neighbors?
Um, 3155 Superba Street.
Great. No, thank you, Brad.
[upbeat music plays]
Oh, honey.
No gymnastics today.
- You have soccer.
- But, Mom,
this is my version of athletic wear.
At school they always tell us
to live in our truth.
- Sebastian, cut it out.
- Of course, of course.
Cut it out. You need to put on
your uniform.
- Come on.
- It is no big deal.
We're already late. Come on.
I can put the jersey over it.
It's it's not
Let me handle this, Anne.
Let me handle this.
- Come on, honey.
- [Sebastian] The shorts are uncomfortable.
[Gretchen, in German]
I can wear the jersey over it.
Dad, please!
- He's fine. He's fine.
- Uh-huh.
Relax, it's okay.
He's an individual.
He believes in himself
and he has to feel
good about himself.
That's his identity
and we have to stay out of it.
Maybe. Maybe not.
Maybe not.
You really have to let it go.
[speaks indistinctly, mouth full]
- Is that good?
- These are delicious!
We made a compromise.
- Buddy, you look fantastic.
- I love your hair.
- You look like David Beckham.
- [Sebastian scoffs]
[spectators cheering]
- [bottle sprays]
- [Justine gasps]
- [Justine] Almost!
- [laughs]
That is never gonna happen.
Look at Sebastian.
He's so graceful.
[Yasmin] He really is.
He looks good out there.
Just look at him.
He's like a little gazelle.
They're so perfect and cute.
You know, someday
they're gonna be hairy and smelly,
and they're not gonna want
to cuddle with us anymore.
Oh, that's so sad.
So sad.
I get sick to the thought of
Albert sticking it into
some stupid American
teenage p*ssy.
- [laughs]
- Oh, my God, Justine.
What's wrong
with American vaginas?
I think what she means is,
she would prefer
if it's a French vag*na.
- Always. Always.
- All right.
- That's fair enough.
- Oh, yes.
But I told Albert,
if his first girlfriend is American,
she has to sign a contract
stating that she's 100%
okay with it.
- That's ridiculous.
- Well, no, that's where we are.
I wouldn't have minded
if we had to sign
some kind of form
when I was a teenager.
Although then there would be
a paper trail.
- Which would be bad.
- [bottle sprays]
Justine, you look blotchy.
What are you
What is this?
Listen, I have a cold.
I'm all clogged up.
I can't smell sh*t, literally,
and this is some over-the-counter crap.
It's not working.
Do you know
how many celebrities have died
- from over-the-counter crap?
- First of all,
- this is a steroid.
- Prince. I'm pretty sure.
No, actua Prince, that was a
that was a prescription.
Oh, that was fentanyl,
you're right.
Yeah, if you want to be mad
at somebody,
the doctors who prescribe
that stuff are the
you can't keep using this.
Okay. Whoa whoa whoa whoa!
[Yasmin]
What? What? [gasps]
Oh, get in there, Albert.
Oh, my God!
That was so close.
You know what? For effort.
I was actually telling Ell
wait, where is Ell?
She texted me.
She got a job.
Yes, at the Natural History Museum.
- Amazing.
- What's she doing there?
- Something with kids.
- [Yasmin] Really?
The velociraptor's diet
was strictly meat,
but many dinosaurs of the
Late Cretaceous were herbivores.
So if the velociraptor
- [panting]
- was around today,
would he eat meat?
[kids, shouting] Yeah!
Whoa! Oh, no!
But not now!
No, uh, uh, eat them!
Yeah, eat them!
- [roars]
- [kids shriek]
- Mom.
- What?
Ryan just said I looked
like a fairy farted in my hair.
Oh, that's not nice.
Come here.
[Yasmin] Ryan.
Come here, honey.
- I'm sorry.
- Right now.
I heard what you said to Seb.
We've talked about this, right?
Like, how do you think he feels
when you say stuff like that?
But Mom, I didn't say it
in a mean way.
You always tell me
to tell the truth.
His hair does look like
a fairy farted in it.
Okay. Well, sometimes
the truth needs to be told
in a way that
doesn't completely reveal
exactly what you're truly thinking.
Okay?
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay, honey.
Come on, Seb.
Well [clears throat]
It's official.
- I'm a piece of sh*t.
- What happened?
Oh, look, everyone.
The dinosaur's
taking a huge poop!
[laughter]
Who you calling poop,
you little sh*t?
- That's a good one.
- That's funny.
But, did they fire you?
- Yeah.
- Aww.
I mean, you're the worst Jew I know.
You're so bad at business.
- Oh, my God.
- What?
You can't say stuff like that.
You're not even Jewish.
- [Yasmin scoffs]
- Well, it makes sense.
You know, all French people
are anti-Semitic.
- That's right.
- We are not!
[laughter]
We have the largest
Jewish population
after Israel and the US.
Oh, come on.
That's impossible.
- It's true.
- She's right.
I will Google it for you.
Uh, I'm sorry. Didn't Pétain
send all of us to gas chambers?
No, I'm sorry, "work camps"?
Wait, you think the French
were happy to be invaded
- by the German after World w*r I?
- [cell phone ringing]
- Yeah.
- We hated them.
Ooh, I'm sorry, guys.
I gotta take this.
Keep talking. Hello, this is Ell.
I'm the granddaughter of
resistants, okay?
Every French person
I know says that.
- [laughs]
- Oh, God.
- Just saying.
- Can we have a truce here?
- I love you.
- So there are
- Okay.
- more Jews in France
than anywhere else except
for the US and Israel.
- Okay.
- So.
- Hello.
- Uh, uh, hello.
You don't get to use Jewish people
as an excuse
for why the French are
just a tiny bit anti-Arab.
- Oh, I can't take this anymore.
- Justine?
[Anne]
What are you doing?
Justine, that's the trash.
- Oh, my God.
- I can't.
- Not even orange peel.
- Ew.
- I can't even smell it.
- Okay, I'm calling my ENT.
He is so amazing.
He really helped George
with this nose [sniffs]
back in the day.
I'm texting him right now.
- Oh, God.
- All you need to do
is stay out of the trash
and stop with the steroids.
You will get through this,
my friend.
All right, I'm really happy.
I'm really lucky
Evan is here taking over
the restaurant because
I do not trust him.
He's so over-solicitous with you.
What does "over-solicitous" means?
Means she thinks you
he kisses your a*s.
- Yes, he does. [slurps]
- [Justine] Oh.
- He does?
- [Yasmin] Yeah. A little bit.
Okay, I gotta go.
- Justine
- Love you.
- Is she gonna be okay?
- [chuckles] Yes.
[in French] I need to go, Martin.
- No.
I'm serious, I need to go.
We said today would be a family day.
What am I going to tell Albert?
[in English] Bye, Albert!
[in French] See you later!
Look, I need to take care
of an emergency at the restaurant,
I will be back in an hour.
Okay? Don't worry.
[in English] Everything okay?
[clicks tongue] Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. I don't know.
She doesn't I don't know.
You know, the the other day
I was reading this, uh
super interesting article
in Le Monde
and this new research
says that boys
actually need their dads
more than their moms.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I thought mothers were everything
to little boys.
Yeah, yeah, so did I.
But apparently, boys that are
brought up by widowed fathers
end up, you know,
much better than the boys
being raised by widowed mothers.
- Widows?
- Yeah.
Uh[stammers]
Orion loves his mom.
But you know, Justine,
she's always been all about her work.
And from the beginning,
she refused to breastfeed.
So it made Albert very
I don't know, very attached to me.
- Hmm.
- Yeah.
I vaguely remember Yas saying
- that Justine had mastitis or something?
- Ah, yeah.
- Maybe that's what it was.
- Yeah, sure.
I mean, you know, frankly,
I don't even think
it's a real condition.
You know, I think it's something, like,
created by the Western doctors.
It's like postpartum, right?
I mean,
let's go ask the women
working the fields in Africa
if they suffer
from f*cking postpartum.
- Right?
- Right.
Right.
[in French] Come on!
[Jerry] No, but I think
you're doing a great job.
Really, I mean,
the whole vibe here
is just like
it's a fresh feeling, right?
Thanks, Jerry. I've been working on it.
I appreciate it.
Yeah, no, thank you, man.
- Love working with you.
- Yeah. Pleasure.
[both chuckle]
- Pour yourself a stiff one.
- [Jerry] Oh.
I'm back.
I see that. Uh, I
I told you I could handle it today.
You didn't have to come.
Yeah, well, the carrots need
to be ready by 5:00.
Are the carrots ready?
Okay, please relax.
I have it all under control.
Okay? How could I not?
I learned from the best, hmm?
Well, apparently not.
You had the carrots peeled.
Who peels organic carrots?
All the subtlety of the flavor
is in the skin.
The woodiness,
the sour-meets-with-tanginess.
And the consistency!
I mean, what are these?
I mean, this is not carrots.
This is carrot puree.
Uh, those are steaming hot.
You're gonna burn your hand.
Brad, we need some ice, ASAP.
- [Fred] I'm on it.
- What is with all the screaming?
Justine, what are you doing here?
I thought you were in bed
with a cold.
Where are my onions?
My onions.
I, uh I told them to wait
until the last minute
so that they stay crispy.
Crispy?
We don't do crispy here, Evan.
We do caramelized.
Okay? I'm away for two hours
and suddenly it's
we're at McDonalds?
This is my kitchen!
Justine, are are you on something?
'cause you look your face looks like
Okay.
Something's wrong with me.
Because I'm not sucking anyone's d*ck.
[Jerry]
You shut the f*ck Justine.
- You are embarrassing yourself.
- Ha ha. Yes.
I'm embarrassing myself because
I'm showing my emotions.
Because I'm a woman.
Okay, that's it. You need to go home.
- [bottle sprays]
- That's it, yeah.
I'll go home.
I'll go home to die,
and when I return
from the dead,
I want to come back as a man.
Okay, right.
Okay, what what what
What is this? What is this?
What is this? Give it to me.
- Give it to me. Give it to me.
- [straining]
Give it to me. What
You used all of this?
Oh, my God, my heart.
- What?
- It's pounding so fast.
[Jerry ] Oh. Oh, my God.
Okay, we need to take her
to an urgent care.
Yeah, I'm taking her right now.
No, no, no, no.
I need you in the kitchen.
Okay, I'm so sorry, everybody.
This this is the worst day
of my life. I'm sorry.
- [Jerry] Okay.
- [Justine] Thank you!
Evan, I love you. [sobs]
- Yeah
- I love you, man, I love you!
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
- [Justine] You, too!
- Let's go, okay, come on.
- I love you too!
- [Evan] Uncrisp the onions.
[doorbell rings]
- Hi.
- Hi.
I'm Helen. I'm your neighbor
from next door.
We haven't met yet.
Oh, nice to meet you.
Yasmin.
Sorry to disturb you on Sunday,
but have you seen Patrick?
- Patrick.
- Our little dog.
We we can't find him.
I usually keep him
in the side yard
because he just goes crazy
cooped up inside all day,
and now he's gone.
I might have forgotten
to close the gate.
I just ah. You haven't heard
or seen anything, have you?
No, we actually have been at my son's
soccer game all morning, so
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Maybe he got snatched up
by a coyote, Mommy!
- Uh, Mom?
- Yeah, honey.
I saw a dog on the street
when we left for soccer.
It looked just like him.
- Oh, really?
- Yes.
Well, Patrick must've escaped, then.
Have you tried, like, driving
around the neighborhood or
Right, that's what we need to do.
We need to drive
around the neighborhood.
Uch. I hope we find him
before it gets dark.
- Thank you.
- Yeah, of course.
If there's anything we can do,
let us know.
Okay, thank you.
Patrick!
Patrick!
Hi, Brad. This is Yasmin.
We spoke this morning?
About Patrick, the howling dog?
From Venice?
Yeah, he's vanished.
What?
Why would you do
something like that?
But, you don't even leave a note?
I know you're not Fedex, but
No, no,
I just said the dog was howling.
I didn't say to kidnap him.
Where is he now?
What procedure?
I don't understand,
what does that mean,
his testes didn't drop?
So you're telling me, you're gonna
have to put him to sleep,
just because
he has imperfect ba*ls?
Okay, so basically,
what you're saying is,
if someone doesn't claim Patrick
within the next 24 hours,
you are going to have to k*ll him?
[whispers] Oh, my God.
- The x-ray shows no polyps.
- [sighs]
[extremely stuffy]
No tumor?
Slight congestion, but nothing
to be worried about.
[sighs deeply]
It's just
it started with a big sneeze
this morning,
and then I couldn't smell anything!
Well, that's pretty standard
for a cold.
No, but, you don't understand.
If I can't smell, I can't taste.
If I can't taste, I can't cook.
- If I can't cook, I can't live.
- Okay.
Well, we definitely
want you to live.
So I'm going to prescribe
an antihistamine
which should help relieve
some of the congestion.
- Okay.
- But no more nasal spray.
- No.
- I'm also gonna give you
something for the redness
and I'm gonna prescribe
an antibiotic on the off chance
it could be bacterial.
Antibiotics?
But I already had antibiotics
twice last year.
Isn't that too much?
Well, those were for
recurring bladder infections.
That's not the same family
of antibiotics.
- Okay.
- Hmm.
Those were
some pretty serious infections.
Lucky you didn't get sepsis.
I was in so much pain.
I believe you.
Do you have more than one
sexual partner?
No. I'm, uh, married.
And and actually, each time
my husband and I have sex,
I get a bladder infection.
So, you had three bladder infections
in the past two years?
Yeah.
Well, you know how it is.
You have kids, you're so busy,
working,
- It just, like, exhausts
- Oh, yeah.
- Too exhausted to, you know.
- Right.
- The classic baby years.
- Yeah.
How old are your kids?
He's 11. One kid.
Eleven is a wonderful age.
He's very cute.
He's very handsome.
- Wow.
- When he was little
Well, enjoy it.
The time goes by so fast.
Of course, yeah.
I'm gonna give you
a little something for
Well, in case you ever feel
anxious.
- Okay, thanks.
- You're welcome.
All right.
Hi, honey.
[deep breath]
Can you believe
Patrick's disappeared?
Patrick
You know, the cute little dog
from next door?
Well, didn't you call Animal Control
about him this morning?
Well, I did, but I I
I didn't reach anyone.
You know what?
I bet they traced my call
and then took it upon themselves
to kidnap him.
I mean, okay, I did
leave a short message.
But I was very vague.
And then I spoke with them
40 minutes ago,
and they told me they came by
and took him.
And that if no one adopts him
within 24 hours,
they're gonna put this dog to sleep.
Okay, well, then you should
tell the neighbors
so they
they can go pick him up.
No, I can't do that.
Then they're gonna know
it was me.
I mean, who did it. Who
you know, who called Animal Control.
Left a message.
But, I mean, plus,
even if I tell them, right?
Apparently Patrick has some kind
of testicular disease
and Brad said that it comes
from neglect.
So even if they do try
to pick him up,
they won't give Patrick
back to them.
And it's not like anyone else
is gonna want a
you know, a sick little dog
with mono-ball.
Hmm. Hmm.
Who's Brad?
[sighs]
Hey guys, Mommy's got some news
she wants to share with everyone.
Sarah, can you get off
your phone, please?
Uh, I'm texting with Daddy.
Now.
So Mommy lost her job today.
Again?
Yes, again.
Thank you, Oliver.
- Uh, Mom?
- Yeah.
All my friends
are getting an allowance.
Oliver, not now. Please.
Mom, someone should make
a reality show about our family.
We could totally be like
the Kardashians, but poor.
- No.
- Like, super poor.
No. No. No.
I don't like that word.
I told you, we're not poor.
We're middle class,
and I told you
- not to watch reality TV, okay?
- [chuckles] Why?
The Kardashians are not in line
with our values as a family.
Since when do we have
family values?
- Question.
- What?
Uh, do you think we're poor
'cause we make bad decisions,
or we make bad decisions
because we're poor?
Mom, even if we're poor,
we're happy,
- because we're family!
- Yeah, without our dads.
And you're the best mom
in the whole world
because you let me have
corn flakes for dinner.
Delicious.
Kai.
Can you say that again
for Mommy,
exactly the same way you said it,
but, like, with a big smile
this time?
You're the best mom
in the whole world
because you let me have
corn flakes for dinner.
Delicious!
Again.
You're the best mom
in the whole world
because you let me have
corn flakes for dinner.
Delicious!
- [liquid pouring]
- I'm worried about Justine.
I don't think she's very happy
with Martin.
I'm pretty sure she's just staying
because of Albert.
- What do you think?
- I'm not happy.
[laughter, indistinct chatter]
Want to open another bottle?
Anne, I'm not happy.
[laughter, indistinct chatter continues]
[Justine sniffs, sighs]
[sentimental music plays on phone]
[softly] Oh
[whispers] Oh, so cute.
[sniffs]
- Mom
- Oh, I'm sorry.
You're filming me again.
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
[sighs]
I can't smell your hair,
and I like the smell so much.
- It's clean.
- Did you brush your teeth?
Uh, yeah. Twice.
What did you do
with Daddy tonight?
Math.
- Oh, that's fun.
- Did you burn yourself again?
Oh, yeah. It's nothing.
Just another hot pot.
[chuckles]
Oh, Mom. Did you know that John
said he felt the same
when he met Yoko
as when he met Paul?
I think that's why his music
kept on being as good
after he went solo,
because it came from
his love for someone.
- That makes sense.
- Mm-hmm.
I'm gonna make you
your lunchbox.
What do you want to eat
tomorrow?
Oh, can you make me
one of those
five veggie wraps
with goat cheese?
I love your cooking, Mommy.
Oh, I love you too, sweetie.
Okay, go back to sleep.
Mwah.
[in French] Night-night.
[in English] Oh, Mommy.
Can you do your funny dance,
please?
[chuckles] Okay.
[Albert laughs]
[in French] Martin and Albert.
What about me?
- [radio plays softly]
- [dog whimpers]
Oh, my God.
[whimpers again]
I'm warning you.
Do not get attached to me.
I have the heart of a pirate.
[dog yips]
No licking.
[dog whimpers]
Okay.
- [sighs]
- [dog yips]
[dog whining]
It's one of your brethren.
There we go.
Don't stop wiggling.
Okay, okay.
Okay, okay.
Sorry about this. I'm sorry.
Patrick, are you okay?
[sighs in relief]
- [barks]
- [shushing] Go.
- [barks]
- I know.
I don't love you.
I don't love you.
- [barks]
- Okay, I do, I do. I love you.
- [barks]
- But you have to go.
You have this isn't gonna work.
Look, you have to go away.
I know. I know.
Oh, my God. Bye bye.
[fast classical piano music plays]
[sighs heavily]
[Martin] Justine?
[in French] Yeah.
[in French] What's going on? It's so late,
I've been trying to reach you for hours.
I had to go to the ER.
The nasal spray caused sort of reaction,
then I burnt my hand.
I've been so worried.
Call me when things like these happen.
I could have come for support.
I didn't want to trouble you.
Why do you always feel the need
to carry everything on your shoulders?
What about my cold?
You know,
I'm going to get it eventually, so
- What's wrong?
- f*ck.
What happened? Did I hurt you?
No, I just hurt my disc earlier,
when I carried the water bottles.
Oh, that's too bad.
Yes, I'm sorry.
Is it okay if we do this another time?
Maybe I could be on top?
No, that's even worse.
You would crush my vertebra.
Let's just watch a documentary.
Sure, that's a good idea.
I'm going to get changed.
Can you bring me two aspirins?
Sure.
We have everything.
We're just
We're just trying it out,
