[theme music plays]

[orchestral music]

[sighs]

[in French] So Hubert and Elodie

will be here in less than half an hour.

Did you make us something good?

[in French] Listen

Antipasti Rosso et verde e mozzarella.

- And risotto

- Wait,

- you've made Italian food?

- Yes.

Why Italian?

Well, because you told me

they loved to eat Italian food.

I never told you

they loved eating Italian food.

I told you his wife

got her p*ssy eaten by an Italian guy.

Oh, my God.

It nearly f*cking destroyed

their relationship.

They've just barely gotten over it.

You never listen to me, Justine!

Sorry, I must have been confused,

I heard "eat" and "Italian".

Well

[in English] Hey, Mom.

Can I have a popsicle?

[in French]Yes, of course, sweetheart.

What are you watching?

[in English] I'm watching a documentary

on John and Yoko.

You know, like, she wasn't that bad.

She inspired him,

helped him write "Imagine."

It's actually really interesting.

I'll watch it again with you

if you want.

Oh, I would love that.

Thanks, "Maman."

"Thanks, 'Maman.'"

[in French] We have to try harder

with the French.

I understand you didn't want him to go to

the French Lycée because it's too strict,

but now we've got an American boy.

[in French] What do you want me to say?

We've made a mistake.

We can't take him out of his school now,

he loves it.

So he knows everything

about transgender rights,

but he doesn't know multiplication tables.

It doesn't matter,

he'll learn them in 12th grade.

So, for tonight,

it can't be an Italian dinner, all right?

Figure it out. Because I swear,

Hubert can't walk past a pizzeria

without losing his sh*t.

[operatic music]

[doorbell rings]

[whispers]

Okay, right off the bat,

we're gonna tell them

that our sitter has to leave at 8:00

and we can only stay

for one drink.

Okay. I mean, you know

I hate lying like this,

but we'll just have to.

It's fine.

- [in French]Hi, hello.

- How are you?

- [in English] Hey.

- Hi, man.

Thank you. Oh, Chianti.

Oh, you shouldn't have.

Well, come in. You're a bit early.

Justine is still in the kitchen.

Oh, well, we can only stay

for one drink.

- Ah.

- Right, um,

unfortunately, our sitter

had an emergency, so

[Martin] Oh, that's too bad.

Well, I'm super excited for you to meet

one of my oldest friends from Paris.

- Oh, great.

- Yeah.

Okay, I'll put this in the kitchen.

- Yasmin, you look beautiful.

- Thank you.

But I hear you can't stay

for dinner?

- Only one drink. We have to

- Hey.

- Yeah, unfortunately the sitter.

- Mwah. Mwah.

But it smells so good in here.

- Maybe I can give you a little doggie bag?

- Please, I will take it.

- Oh, my goodness, are you kidding?

- Yeah.

- So he said that it's all body

- Mm-hmm.

No visuals,

and that a half a square

- Mm-hmm.

- can give you a mild trip.

[mellow rock plays on stereo]

- [munching loudly]

- [chuckles]

- [doorbell rings]

- Party is starting.

Yeah, please.

- Hey.

- Hello!

And you are early, too.

I'm impressed.

I love Americans.

Well, it's LA, you know.

Everything's over at 10:00.

- Yeah.

- Buonasera.

- [in Italian] Chiante per te.

- Ah, you shouldn't have.

[in Italian]

Ti piace mi Italiano?

- Buonasera!

- Hey!

- Ciao, bella.

- Ciao.

[in French] Oh, no,

not the 2009, seriously.

Hey, guys, I want

to show you something. Come.

- Bye.

- Bye.

- Okay, come.

- Mangiare! Mangiare!

Let's have a drink first.

So listen, listen to this:

Everything I'm serving tonight

is French Corsican.

- The food? Not Italian, okay?

- Why?

Just, I it's too long to explain.

Just go along with it, please.

So much drama with you tonight.

- What's happening tonight?

- I love the intrigue.

It is Italian.

It's not a big deal,

but just tell George, okay?

And Will. No Italian food.

All these lies are stressing me out,

though. Little lies.

- French Corsican, okay?

- Put on your red lipstick.

- I can't. I have to go.

- No, no, she's right.

You always look so pretty

in lipstick.

It'll just take a second.

It's worth it.

- Okay.

- Use the hot

Don't ask me why,

but Justine wants us to say

tonight's dinner is not Italian.

Right, but we're we're not even

gonna be here for dinner, so

- Oh, right.

- So, irrelevant.

Right, right, right.

- 'Cause our sitter has an emergency.

- Yes, yes, right. Sitter.

It's not Italian anymore,

it's Corsican.

- So do you have a French playlist?

- [doorbell rings]

Yeah, yeah.

I got a great French playlist.

Hey, salut.

[in French] Hi, so good to see you.

Come in, come in.

[in English] So, uh, guys.

Uh, everybody, this is

my friend Hubert Duchamps,

and his delicious wife,

Elodie Couturier.

So this is Anne and George.

Hi.

[in French] Nice to meet you.

- [in English] Uh, Yasmine.

- Hi.

- Nice meeting you.

- And I've been wanting

to introduce you guys

for quite a while.

My two nerdy friends.

Oh, William.

I finally get to meet you.

I'm a big fan.

Wait, um, did you say

this is Hubert Duchamps?

[Martin] Yeah.

- Hubert Duchamps from Epic Tech?

- That's me.

Martin [chuckles]

Why'd you bury the lede?

Huh? Who did I bury?

No, nobody,

but you didn't tell me

that Hubert Duchamps

was your friend.

I did tell Justine, but she probably

forgot to tell Yasmin?

No, I told her.

Yasmin,

I told you about, uh, Hubert.

- Right?

- Right, yes, I'm so sorry.

I totally spaced.

You know, foreign names.

- I'm terrible with anything foreign.

- No, no big deal.

- I mean, this is wonderful, right?

- Yeah, yeah.

Okay, come in, come in, come in.

Sit down.

[in French] Hello. I'm his wife, Justine.

[in English] Welcome to America

- [in French] well, what's left of it.

- Thank you.

Come sit down.

Come, have a seat right here.

[in English] Saw that McMansion

down the street that they're building.

- It's like, uch.

- That adds value to your house.

- Oh, really?

- Oh, for real. Yeah.

- We should have moved to Mar Vista.

- Yeah.

Our house is now worth

at least 10% less

than what we paid for it.

We have this situation

with homeless I'm sorry.

Unhoused people in Venice.

- More like an invasion

- Honey, you can't

- To be honest.

- No, that's

I mean, I'm just it is what it is.

Yeah, this one guy

that came right?

One morning and he took a sh*t

in the kids' sandbox.

I told Orion

that that was a big cat.

No, you shouldn't have done that.

See, that was the problem.

- No, but, like,

- When you distort reality

- humans don't poop in sand.

- You distorted his reality.

Cats poop in sand.

Our son was going through

a creative play period

- at Montessori

- We had to wash

- It was bad. He had to wash it.

- sh*t off of the walls.

- But I

- Anyway.

The important thing is, it's tragic.

You know, I mean,

our whole society just throws

these human beings away.

Is it like that in France?

You know, especially in Paris,

but, uh

it doesn't affect real estate.

At least we don't think of it

in those terms.

- Right.

- No, Paris,

no matter what happens,

you know, it's so expensive.

But when I bought this house,

here 15 years ago,

Mar Vista,

no one wanted to live here.

[in French] So you bought this house

15 years ago?

- [Justine, in French] Yes.

- When did you two meet?

- About

- Thirteen years ago.

Yes, 13 years ago. And I got pregnant

right away, three months later

[in English] Oh, I love

when they speak in French.

It sounds like glockenspiel bells,

doesn't it?

- [imitates glockenspiel bell dings]

- [laughs]

Okay. Okay, so I have, um,

red or white?

I know, you,

it's tequila and lime, yeah?

[in Italian]

[Martin]

Okay, tequila is good for you?

Two shots.

[in French] Red? White?

- [Elodie] Red.

- Me, too.

Uh, me too, red.

Just, every time I say it,

I feel weird now.

Red wine is great with Corsican food.

I mean

- [in French] I made a Corsican dinner.

- Oh, I've never eaten Corsican food.

- Oh, it's delicious.

- Oh, the figatelle.

Yes.

[in English] She's really talented.

How did you turn cryptology

into poetry, man?

I mean, I read your codes.

I'm like, "This guy's an artist."

Oh. That means so much,

coming from you.

Thank you. Thank you.

- [in French] Martin, are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine,

but the way you presented it,

it sounded like it was your house

and I forced my way in.

No, I didn't mean it like that.

I was just saying

You're always trying to make me look like

I live off you, like some rat

Never do this to me in front of Albert,

it's a terrible thing to humiliate

a father in front his son.

And how are the

It doesn't look like antipasti anymore

I don't know, it looks disgusting,

but it'll do. It'll be fine. It'll pass.

Good job, honey.

Well done.

- Okay, I'll take care of the wine, then.

- Take the wine, it's on the end table.

- There.

- Yes.

[Yasmin, in English]the story.

I'll tell you more when we have more time.

[indistinct chatter]

- Excuse me. I'll be right back.

- Sure.

- Can I talk to you for one second?

- Yes.

- [whispers] We really need to go.

- [whispers] Yeah.

- We have to go now.

- But I kind of want to stay now,

because I'm getting all this really good

first-hand info about Europe.

But we can't, 'cause we told them

we're only staying for one drink.

- So we gotta go.

- I mean,

we both don't have to go,

though, do we?

Wait, so, you want to stay

and you want me to go home

and take care of Orion?

Yeah, but you're not really going home

to take care of Orion.

You're going to that party.

Everyone here's gonna think I'm some,

like, 1950s housewife

and you're sending me home

to take care of the kid.

No one's gonna think anything.

No one's gonna think that.

That's crazy.

This was your party.

You were the one

who convinced me about,

gotta make some contacts

and network, right?

Yeah, so you should go.

You should go to that party.

Oh, my God, I can't do that.

I'm your plus one,

and you know I will be the only one.

There's there's that one Black guy

Oh, my God, he's Indian!

- I can't. This is

- Okay, well, whatever.

Whatever. Look, just tell them

that I'm sick.

No, you know I hate lying.

[scoffs] Never mind. I can't.

- I have to go, you sweeties.

- Hey, you're leaving?

[both]

Mwah, mwah.

Yeah, you know, I just I feel like

I'm coming down with something.

- Like, ech, I don't know.

- Okay, well, you told me

you have to relieve the sitter

anyway, right?

- Yes, also that, so

- And you're both going.

- Yeah, no, I'm gonna stay.

- Will is actually gonna stay

uh, and enjoy.

I'll go home and relieve the sitter.

- Okay.

- So, I'm sorry, I can't.

- All right, all right.

- Enjoy the rest, yeah?

- Yeah, thanks.

- Bye, guys.

[in French] Bye.

[in English] Bye, honey.

[in French] Hey, shall we go ahead

and sit down to eat?

No, Ell is not here yet.

Yes, but she's always late,

what do you want me to say?

We said drinks at 6:00, dinner at 7:00,

so we should go ahead, no?

All right, fine.

[doorbell rings]

[Justine] We have some simple

grilled vegetables, and then we have a

[in English] Hi. I'm so sorry I'm late.

Kai had a complete meltdown.

He was like hanging on my left.

He was like, "Mommy, don't go."

- Yeah, come in. It's fine.

- Sorry.

- Hey, everybody!

- [mutters] We're French.

I'm so sorry I'm late.

Um, I hope you don't mind.

I invited Joan for dessert.

She was so depressed.

She had another one

of her worst dates ever.

[man] I just want to make sure

you don't have kids.

Women will lie

about crap like that.

I hate baggage.

Obviously, now you're too old

to have a kid, so that's a plus.

And you like baseball.

That's my number one requirement

for a broad.

No. No. I, um

I I never

I never said I liked baseball.

Modern art, but no, that that

It must've been another match.

[man] You look much older

than in your pictures,

- you know that?

- Um

don't we all? Just

You know. Yeah.

But I come bearing gifts!

Ta-da!

Beautiful cupcakes

in the colors of Italia!

- You shouldn't have.

- Oh.

They taste better than they look.

[nervous chuckle]

[Justine] Thank you, Ell.

I didn't do anything.

My little angels made them.

- Hello.

- [Justine] Ell.

- I'm Ell.

- Elodie and Hubert.

- Hi.

- Hello.

Ell is a teacher for children

with re mental

- Learning challenges.

- difficulties.

[in French] She teaches disabled children.

- They bake cakes, things like that.

- Yes, yes.

Ah!

[in Italian] Mom's pizza!

[in English] That is not pizza.

It's a Corsican dish.

What is it called again?

[in French] It's a fougasse.

A fougasse with truffles and goat cheese

from Corsica.

[Ell, in English] Well, me like.

[laughs]

Um, how do

all of you know each other?

- Uh[laughs]

- I met Ell

when we were waitressing

at this café.

- Yeah, at Formosa.

- Formosa Café.

Kind of landmark, for LA.

And then we immediately,

we were, like, super tight.

- Super tight. Best friends.

- Really quickly.

And then after college

I was interning for your friend Greta

in her interior design company.

- Yes.

- And then we met Yasmin,

who just left, Will's wife,

and we had

this crazy new year in 1999.

- At the chateau, yes.

- The 2000 the millennium.

A millennium party.

She'd just moved to LA,

I went to college with her.

She was really depressed.

Well, she didn't know anyone,

so I said, "Hey,

just come to this party with me

and meet my friends.

You're going to love them."

She was super depressed all night.

I mean, like, she

we missed the new year,

but whatever.

We had a great time.

It was an amazing party.

Sounds fun.

Can I tell how I met Justine?

- Yes!

- Okay, so

- No, wait, wait, wait. Wait.

- Justine no, no, no, no, no.

Justine had f*cked this guy.

- [spit takes]

- A total male sl*t named

- What was it? David. Yes.

- David.

No, no, no. She didn't f*ck him.

She blew him.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

of course.

And it was the '90s, so A*DS.

And Justine was freaking out because

she had just had her teeth cleaned.

My my gums were bleeding a little bit,

and I was really

- I was worried.

- [Ell] So this is when she shows up

at my door can I just go on?

In the middle of the night,

weeping, hysterical.

You just had this, like, sweet little

studio in the Miracle Mile

that used to belong to

Cecil B. DeMille's cousin.

- Oh, amazing.

- So sweet.

- Very pretty place.

- And she starts to obsessively call

every 1-900 A*DS hotline

in the country.

She keeps asking the same question

over and over again:

"Can I get A*DS from giving a blow job?

Can I get A*DS from giving a blow job?

Can I get A*DS from giving a blow job?"

So she'd only blown him

the week before,

but she was convinced that she had

the symptoms of full-blown A*DS.

- [laughs]

- Well, no.

- Not really. I mean

- Then I remembered

I remembered that my friend Anne

used to f*ck David

without a condom, right?

- Of course.

- Ah! That's my girl.

So I said, "Hey, Justine,

why don't you call my friend Anne?

She used to

actually have sex with David."

So, in the middle of the night

the phone rings,

and there's this hysterical French girl

on the other line

demanding to know whether

I'd been tested for A*DS

and what kind of a loser

would f*ck a loser

like David without a condom?

- [Anne laughs]

- Yes.

And then what were you doing

in the background?

You were crying about something.

Yeah, because the phone bill.

It was crazy.

I got like a $400 phone bill.

Did you know that?

- No, no.

- Because of you.

It was not $400.

Martin,

we know how to pick them, no?

- [Ell] It was $400, Justine.

- Okay.

Anyway, long story short,

that is how we met.

- [Elodie] Wow.

- [Justine] Yeah. Beautiful.

Impressive.

I was young.

I had just moved to Los Angeles,

and I was very naive.

Yeah, I hadn't heard this story,

and I thought I heard them all.

[chuckles]

- We were kids. Right?

- Sure, sure.

And that's what kids do, huh?

[Elodie] Aw, so cute.

[Yasmin] Hi, guys.

- Oh.

- Sorry to interrupt.

This looks so fun.

Um, honey, there's something

wrong with the car.

- Could you come?

- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay. Sorry, everybody.

- Enjoy!

- Excuse me. Be right back.

[Justine, in French]

Would you like vegetables?

[in French] Some vegetables

with Camembert cheese.

[in English] So,

what's wrong with the car?

How could you do this to me?

We had a plan.

You made me lie to my friends

so we could go to your party

that I didn't even want to go to

in the first place

and then you just dump me.

Do you know how

that makes me feel?

Like, alone in the world.

Babe, I I'm just not in the mood

to do small talk

with a bunch of celebrities

who pretend that they care

all about the environment

and then charter private jets.

You want me to go

to that party by myself?

They're just gonna think

you ditched me,

that you, like, abandoned me.

You know what?

I'm not gonna go there.

Right. Just don't go to the party.

You're right.

No, I mean "don't go there"

metaphorically.

- Oh.

- God, you know what?

I just

I think you don't love me.

No, I do, I love you, Yasmin.

I just I don't want to go

to the party.

- Mm-hmm. [sniffs]

- That's it.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Is there anything wrong

with the car?

I I don't know.

[in French] I'm so sorry about this,

it's It's

[in French] I don't give a f*ck.

As for the risotto, that'll never work.

- [in French] Tomorrow night, Palm Springs.

- Awesome.

[in English] Whatever this is,

it's delicious.

What I don't understand,

isn't Corsica part of Italy anyway?

- Mm-mm.

- No?

No, no, it's Sardinia.

Corsica is in France.

- Oh.

- Yeah. You know Napoleon, maybe?

Short man.

[gasps] Oh, my God,

that came right out at me.

[laughs] I think

I just saw Napoleon's d*ck.

- I'm serious.

- Anne, maybe some Bordeaux?

Oh, yes, I love French wine.

Top me up.

You know, I brought a Chianti,

but for some reason,

Justine said

that it's no longer Italian.

- Oh, really?

- Food.

[in French] A rice salad with chestnuts

from Corsica.

[Anne in Italian] Mm! Risotto!

[in French] f*ck.

[in French] Oh, sh*t.

[in English] Oh, my God.

[in French] No, it's no big deal,

Don't worry, it's fine.

- Justine, let me do it.

- It's nothing at all. It's all good.

[in English] I am having a kind of

strange trip all of a sudden.

[Justine, in French] No worries.

[in English] What is wrong

with that girl over there?

Maybe she's possessed.

Maybe it's a demon.

- [laughs]

- [George] Not today, Satan.

- Put some music on.

- Yep. Yep.

["L'italiano" by Toto Cutugno plays]

No, no, no.

[in French] Would you like

some rice chestnut salad?

- Yes. Thanks.

- There.

Just play anything French.

Anything. Thank you.

[in French] Would you like

some rice chestnut salad?

- You love risotto, don't you?

- No, it's not a risotto,

it's a rice chestnut salad.

- And you also love Italian sausage.

- Please, stop.

[blows nose]

Oh, what a beautiful song, I love it.

I love this song.

[in English] Me, too.

[in French] You wh*re. I can't look at

your whorish face anymore. I can't.

Hubert, please. Please.

- [in English] He said, "You wh*re."

- [gasps]

- "I can't look at your whorish face."

- Oh, my God.

[in French] Don't you think I know

everyone here is mocking me?

Not at all, it's the opposite.

She had made an Italian dinner

because she didn't know.

I realized at the last minute,

so we changed it to Corsican.

- Right, Corsican.

- It was completely innocent, I promise.

Right, innocent. Like my b*tch of a wife.

If you f*cked me more often,

maybe I wouldn't have f*cked someone else!

That's enough, I have a little boy

in the next room watching

a documentary about John Lennon.

Well, we don't have children

because Hubert's sperm is deformed.

- There you go.

- Their head is limp. And I'm not a b*tch!

Elodie! f*ck, Elodie!

Well done, great job. Hubert.

- Elodie!

- Hubert!

[in English] Whatever salope is,

it's delicious.

It's "b*tch." Yes, yes.

Whenever anything gets emotional,

I suddenly understand French.

- [laughs]

- That's so weird.

All I want is for you to tell me

you love me.

I I say it all the time.

I can't remember

the last time you said it.

I just said it five minutes ago.

That I don't remember that.

I wish someone was

recording this right now,

because I just said,

"I love you, Yasmin."

[Elodie, in French] It's over.

[in French] You can't leave.

I love you, Elodie. I love you.

[in English] "Je t'aime."

That means "I love you" in French.

- Okay.

- Hey, guys!

Are you guys leaving?

Wait, the party's

not over already, is it?

No, we just

we have another engagement.

- We could only stay for one drink.

- Oh. Okay.

Can I take your spot?

- Sure.

- Thank you. [blows kiss]

- I'm gonna drive.

- Yeah, okay.

[car alarm beeps]

[in French] I'm so sorry.

[Attenborough on TV]

The gazelle had no chance

to escape

the bite of the crocodile,

as the crocodile

has the strongest bite

ever measured

in the animal kingdom.

Its bite may rival that of a T. rex.

[Italian music playing]

- Are you getting there?

- Yes. Unh!

- [moans]

- A little to the left, honey.

Sorry! Sorry, sorry, sorry.

[both laugh]

Do you see that?

No, don't look!

[sighs]

[dog whines]

French toast

[in French] with plum puree.

[in French] Thanks, Mom.

[in French] Hubert still hasn't called?

[cat meows]

First off, I want to begin

by telling you

that the kids love you.

Oh, my gosh. Thank you.

I love 'em back.

They're so cute.

And I want to say, Frances,

thank you so much

for setting up this meeting.

I have been wanting

to talk to you about the budget

for the Valentine's Day crafts.

I have some very creative ideas.

Ell, I've gotten some phone calls

from the parents.

Apparently the kids were disappointed

because they weren't able

to actually eat

the Italian cupcakes

that they made on Monday.

Oh, yeah, you know,

there was a snafu with the oven,

and unfortunately,

the cupcakes were inedible.

Oh, okay. Well, what about

the tie-dye t-shirts

that they made

the week before?

- Right, so with those

- It seems that

one of the parents saw you

selling "Made in LA

by handicapped children" t-shirts

on the Venice boardwalk

last weekend.

Now, I told him he must've

been mistaken

because number one,

you would never, ever

sell their kids' t-shirts

and number two,

you certainly

wouldn't be passing them off

as t-shirts made

by handicapped children,

seeing as that their children

are in no way handicapped.

- Correct?

- Correct.

Twenty dollars. Made in LA

by handicapped children.

And breaking child labor laws

in completely ill*gal

and punishable by imprisonment.

Correct.

- Mom, look.

- Ah! It looks so good on you.

I know. It even looks good

with jeans underneath.

It's perfect.

Actually,

why don't you put it away?

It's my only sample, and, uh,

we go into production on Monday.

Ah. Okay.

He found the dress in my bag.

Yeah, you don't think

that he prances around like that

because you've been using him

as your fit model

since he was three years old?

He's an artsy kid, okay?

He likes fashion.

Would you rather he was a bully,

beat people up?

I'd rather you not encourage

that side of him.

- Okay.

- Good.

[cell phone ringing]

[cell phone ringing]

I don't want to talk to you.

How many times

do I have to tell you?

Don't call me.

[speaks Farsi]

[phone button beeps]

[big band music plays

on computer]

[sighs]

What's going on?

[Justine sighs]

Who did this?

Who did this?

Okay, I will not tolerate

this kind of behavior

- in my kitchen.

- This is unacceptable.

[Justine] Clear, everyone?

[hostess] I'm sorry,

but we're completely full.

[Hubert, in French] It can't be.

[in English] I was told this time

this week was a little bit free,

and that we could,

what do you call it?

Walk in,

that we could have fun,

and they said that walk-ins

are okay today,

- that it's not a problem.

- Elodie! Hubert.

Justine.

- [Justine, in French] Are you okay?

- Yes, but what are you doing here?

Well, this is my restaurant. Justine's.

[in English] I'll take care of them.

[in French] I never put it together.

Martin never told me.

Amazing. We were told

the food was delicious here.

Well, it's pretty good, yes.

But I'm so, so sorry about last night.

- No, don't be.

- No.

No, don't worry. An hour later,

we had already made up, so

- Oh, really?

- I did send a text to Martin to apologize.

- He didn't tell you?

- Last night.

Yes, yes, of course, he told me.

- I'll get you a table.

- Really?

- Yes, of course, it'll be my pleasure.

- So nice of you.

- Of course, it's my pleasure.

- Thank you.

I five minutes.

I'll take care of it.

[Justine, in English] This new recipe

came out of the unexpected.

I will call it

[in French] "The Rice Chestnut Salad."

[in English] Life is unpredictable

and cooking should reflect

the unknown, the unplanned.

Surrender to things that happen,

good or bad.

Improvise.

Do not be scared of failure.

Embrace change.

Be fearless

in the kitchen as in life.
