NO SIGHTSEEING TOGETHER

NO PERSONAL CONVERSATIONS

FOLLOW THE STARS, LITTLE LIBRA

NO LIPSTICK WITH HEART-SHAPED LIPS

NO WINKING, NO DINNER OR LUNCH TOGETHER

NEVER TOUCH HANDS

NO MASCARA

AVOID TEMPTATIONS

I must be tamed

You mustn't meddle in my gaze

Are you helping me or what?

Um

You asked me

to be straightforward, right?

Yes.

All right,

then, these

may need to stay here.

Mm-hmm.

Huh?

All right, all right, all right.

Just calm down.

We have been planning

how to do this all night, Tio.

The calm Alice left

the building five hours ago!

Everything is gonna be fine.

This is just one night, Alice.

- Hmm?

- Mm-hmm.

Stay in your room at the hotel,

empty the minibar.

The next morning, you wake up,

go to interview the professor,

and before you know it,

you'll be heading back home on the train.

Hmm?

You would be the last thing on my mind

You got this.

CAPRICORN

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

- Wait, I'll take

- No, thank you. I got it.

Uh-huh. All right, one more time.

These here are your seats on the train.

And this here,

is our handsome Davide Sardi.

And that's how we determine that

your ideal seat is right here. Hmm?

Not to his side because it's too intimate.

Shoulder-to-shoulder always leads

to overly personal conversations.

That's why

no.

Uh

Six C.

- That's my seat, Tio.

- Hi.

- Would you like to have a bite?

- No, thanks.

- Oh, this looks really good!

- All right.

Well, I ate it, though.

Okay.

We should review and prepare

Oh sh*t! Shoulder-to-shoulder always leads

to overly personal conversations.

I've started jotting down ideas somewhere.

Here it is.

Choose your next journey

with the best comfort.

Alice.

The train is arriving.

f*ck.

Sorry.

Alors,

the reservation is for

two rooms on the same floor

with adjoining doors.

Never accept adjoining rooms.

Um

Yes?

Uh, would you happen to have

a room available maybe on a higher floor?

I don't think that will be possible.

No, because it's my first time

visiting Paris.

So, I'd like to enjoy

a nice panoramic view of the city.

I'm sorry.

The only room

we have available is the

Suite Deluxe on the top floor.

I'll take it.

It is 825 euros.

Oh jeez.

Put it on my credit card.

- No, no, no, are you kidding?

- I'll pay for it.

Oh!

Woo!

Okay.

Sorry.

Ooh.

- There.

- Uh, yes. Uh

Merci.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Bye.

Wow!

Woo!

LOVE

Who needs more Paris

when you already have all this?

Mmm.

Delicious.

Mmm.

Cheers to you!

Mmm.

If I'm honest, I wouldn't have bet on it,

but you should be proud.

Proud of yourself.

Yes. I'm super proud of myself.

Oh! Dammit!

Well, all right.

DAVIDE: GOOD MORNING.

I'LL WAIT FOR YOU DOWNSTAIRS.

Room service!

Room service!

Don't look at him, Alice.

Don't look at him.

You got this, Alice.

You'll be home soon.

That's him.

Yes.

Here I am.

I'll be right there.

Welcome to the Klauzen Institute.

Professor Klauzen.

I am extremely sorry,

but we are going to have

to postpone our interview.

I was just informed

of a personal situation

which I need to handle urgently.

I can be available

at some point tomorrow morning.

Would that work for you?

Um

I realize this

is not ideal for you, but, um

Of course.

Excellent.

And by way of apology,

we'd like you both

to enjoy a wonderful day in Paris,

at our expense, of course.

We Capricorns are reliable.

We're known for that.

So, this seems to me like

the least I could do.

Gifted with the sense of humor

of an old hairdryer,

Capricorns are serious and reliable.

They want to settle down.

With you.

Especially if they got to take a look

at your accounts and tax returns,

and they're certain you're about

to inherit a large amount of money

from the distant great-auntie you had.

Therefore

call the flower shop,

start sending out the invites,

but most of all

get cracking with

a solid prenup agreement.

Hmm?

That's very kind of you.

It's no problem at all.

I'm sure we'll manage to find something

to do on our free time.

Don't do this to me.

Perfect!

I guess it is now time for me to leave.

Great meeting you. See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

- Bye-bye.

- Au revoir.

Now what?

What is the sticky-note

for this situation?

There wasn't one.

What do you mean "There wasn't one"?

Well, you just can't plan

for the unexpected.

Uh, and also because, this is

a really complicated situation, sweetie.

The stars are speaking loud

and clear today.

- Can I help you?

- No, no, thanks.

- You sure?

- Yeah.

And you're gonna be facing

a great deal of temptations.

Temptations which

you can succumb to

or which you can resist.

Well, no.

Succumbing to temptation

is not even a practical option, Tio.

Plus, you remember how

it ended last time, right?

He's been really clear.

We are two coworkers,

and we know how to be professional.

Together.

Here I am.

Sorry.

Listen.

I know this is not easy,

but I feel this is getting ridiculous

that you and I can't even make small talk.

Not to mention the fact that

that I'm actually ruining

your first time in Paris.

A bit.

So let's give it a try.

We could go

and have a nice lunch together.

I promise you

it'll remain strictly professional.

Actually, you know what?

If you want to eat in silence,

fine by me.

Okay.

Okay.

I was supposed to come here

after I graduated from high school,

but I ended up getting sick

the day before I was set to leave, so

That's too bad.

Yeah, it is.

- Bonjour.

- Bonjour.

- Merci.

- Merci.

Bon appétit.

Merci.

Mmm. It's good.

It is. It's excellent.

Okay. Okay.

Are you in love with her?

What?

Do you love her?

What did you just say?

Oh, no!

No, no, no, no!

I'm sorry. Don't answer. Um,

I shouldn't have asked you that question.

It's none of my business actually.

I'm sorry. Uh

Okay. Yes.

Here it is.

- No, Alice

- No, don't worry.

I I just asked you

a very silly question.

You clearly love her.

Why wouldn't you?

I, um

Okay.

I'm sorry, but for me it's

For me, it's just too

It's just too hard.

I can't do this.

I'm sorry.

Well, that's why I told

I suggested that we try to

I don't want to be your friend, Davide.

I

Say it.

I'd l

Say it.

I'd l

Say it!

I'll see you later.

Where is your famous joie de vivre?

Did she just get up and leave you?

Oh, city of love

Send me a sign

The one I dream of

Will they be mine?

I'm looking for love

Are you looking for me?

Is there a star in the sky above

To shine on me?

ALICE: THE STARS ARE NO

JUST UNFAVORABLE, TIO.

THE STARS ARE REALLY PISSED OFF WITH ME!

Begging the stars in the sky above

To shine on me

Looking for love

From the Place de la Bastille

To the Place de la Concorde

From the Gare Montparnasse

To the Gare du Nord

Looking for love

All along the Rive Gauche

And Rive Droite of the River Seine

From the Bois de Boulogne

To the Bois de Vincennes

Looking for love

In all the cafe

The bistro, and the bar

All along the passage

The avenue, and the boulevard

I'm looking for love

Are you looking for me?

Is there a star in the sky above

To shine on me?

Looking for love

A charger, s'il vous plaît.

One moment, please.

Come on, Miss!

I'm sorry.

Ugh.

Where the heck is my wallet?

Next.

What are you doing here?

What's so funny, Davide?

They stole my money.

I need to call the police,

or better, go to the gendarmerie.

Or maybe I should just

go to the embassy, right?

And also, my phone died.

No need to go to the police

or the gendarmerie, Mademoiselle Bassi.

You left it at, um,

at lunch.

- Oh.

- I was looking for you to give it back.

I tried to call you.

Thanks.

If you allow a nostalgic ex-Parisian

to be your guide,

I promise my phone won't die.

- All right.

- Mmm.

Tell me more about this tour around Paris.

Follow me.

Um, right behind you,

this is the Moulin Rouge,

which is the biggest consumer

of champagne in the world.

This is the Promenade plantée.

It doesn't even feel like we're in a city.

It's built over

an old railway track.

I loved coming here

on sunny days like today.

I bet you used to come here

with some gorgeous French girl.

No.

I

I've never brought anyone else here.

I've always loved imagining

what kind of life

the people behind those windows have.

I wonder what plans

that woman has for tonight.

Hmm.

Tonight.

Tonight is

a really important night for her.

This morning,

when she went out to get some bread,

she actually bumped into someone

Hmm?

in the street.

Oh, a man.

But not just an ordinary man.

An old high school friend?

Her very first love.

Who secretly still loves her to this day.

- Hola.

- Hello.

How beautiful, right?

How cute.

I bought one in every place

I've been to since I was six.

I bet your fridge must

be covered with them.

Every object you buy just ends up in a box

when it's time for you to leave.

You're so pragmatic, Davide Sardi.

It's just that we didn't have

a whole lot when I was younger.

- What'd you play with then?

- Bonjour.

Bonjour.

With my brother.

And with a tent.

It was our secret hideout.

We'd live in there.

Sometimes it was a castle

sometimes it was a submarine,

or even a spacecraft.

And this is the Canal Saint-Martin.

My favorite spot.

Come with me.

I want to show you something.

Right here.

That's where I lived.

In the attic with the planters.

Mmm.

Wanna sit down?

Here?

Yeah.

And how long did you live up there?

Five years.

With Claudio, most of the time.

My brother.

We were both working here back then.

And where is Claudio now?

Nowhere.

He died two years ago.

Oh.

I'm I'm so sorry

No.

You couldn't have known.

He was a great guy.

Always making me laugh.

A lot.

How did

In a car accident.

Down in the south of France.

It was a deer.

Crossed and hit his car, and

I wonder what your stars

would have to say about that.

Let's go get a drink.

Today, you asked me

if I was in love with Barbara.

The answer is no.

Not in the way that you think.

She was Claudio's girlfriend.

This is weird, but

knowing that I can be there for her

and in some way for my brother as well

that helps me miss him a little less.

And also,

if I left her, she'd be devastated.

She's not as strong as she seems.

Let's make a toast to the stars,

because, despite everything,

they guided us here.

To the stars.

It's a great day

It's a great day, oh, I feel it

No, no, no.

- After you.

- Thanks.

All right.

I'll see you tomorrow morning at 8:00.

Have a good night. Sleep well, Miss Bassi.

Have a good night, Davide Sardi.

Holy sh*t!

Woo!

And this is how the film ends.

I know you like what I got

I see you watching me

Mmm.

I'm coming ready or not

I won't miss a beat

Show me what you got

Show me what you got, baby

Whatcha got?

I got this

I am everything I need

I am everything I want

I am, I am

In technicolor

I am everything I need

I am everything I want

I am, I am

In technicolor

I am everything I need

I am everything I want

What are you thinking about?

About how we found each other today.

In Paris.

In the middle of a busy street.

Some couples never manage

to find each other.

Not in their entire lives.

Meaning,

that we're a couple now?

Alice

And right now,

what are you thinking about?

You know,

we don't always need to tell each other

about what's going on in our heads.

Simply observing you,

my dear Miss Bassi, in silence,

is just as effective.

You don't need to know horoscopes

or read instruction manuals

to know someone.

You think so?

I think I could really use

an instruction manual for you,

Mr. Davide Sardi.

Hey.

LOVE

Hey. Good morning.

Davide, did did I wake you up?

No. I, uh, came down early for

- Mimì's not well.

- What?

She's not doing well.

Something's wrong. She won't get up.

Barbara, calm down.

- Mimì's not doing well!

- What's going on?

I have no idea.

Well, maybe she ate something?

No, she didn't.

How did that

She's bleeding.

Should I take her to the vet?

Yeah, um

- Can you come back, please?

- I'll get on the first plane.

Don't worry. I'll be home soon.

Hmm.

Bye.

Bye.

Mimì.

My brother's dog.

She's sick.

They don't know what's going on.

I'm sorry.
