Emily in Paris (2020) s04e05 Episode Script

["Deux êtres à part (feat. Elephanz)"
[by Toukan Toukän playing]
[man] The humble apple
is a pride of our chef's homeland,
so we're calling this A Taste of Normandy.
Oh! Haven't you sampled enough
of Normandy's goods?
But looks can be deceiving.
- [Emily and Mindy gasp]
- [Mindy laughs]
I really thought it was an apple.
- It's a trompe-l'oeil.
- Excusez-moi?
It's French for "to deceive the eye."
- An optical illusion.
- Ah.
Some wine, perhaps?
Oh, yes, please.
Let me open it for you.
- [Mindy] Oh! [laughs]
- [Emily] What? [gasps]
It's chocolate.
- Wow. Kind of wish it was wine, though.
- [chuckles]
- Ladies, bon appétit.
- [Mindy] Merci.
[song continues softly over speakers]
- [Mindy] Mmm!
- [Gabriel sighs]
He's driving me crazy.
I'm sorry for the magic show.
- [Mindy] Mm-mm!
- Why? We loved it.
A wine bottle made out of solid chocolate?
Who'll eat that?
- [Mindy chuckles]
- It feels a little too much.
No, it was wonderful.
You should send one
to the woman at the table over there.
[Marianne laughs]
You remember Luc's girlfriend
is the Michelin inspector?
- [Mindy] Mmm!
- She's already been here three times.
- That's a good sign, right?
- Yeah.
I don't want to get my hopes up.
Well, maybe a little taste of Normandy
will sweeten your chances.
- I guess it can't hurt.
- [Emily chuckles]
You never stop, huh?
You're like a feisty little pug.
- Pugs are actually quite lazy.
- Oh.
I'm more of a terrier. We live to work.
Oh, yeah, you do.
You're just like my friend, Li,
who's joining us for a drink.
- She lives in London now
- Ah.
and she's become
a bit of an entrepreneur.
Oh, I would love to hear more about that.
- Trust me. You will.
- [chuckles]
[in French] Don't open that.
You'll flatten my soufflés.
[Mindy laughing]
- [in English] Hey!
- Oh! Bonsoir!
- [both] Mwah!
- Hi. It's so good to see you again.
It's good to see you too.
- We ordered you some wine.
- [Li] Oh!
Not that.
- What is Mmm.
- [Mindy] Here we go.
No! [chuckling] I don't believe it.
- [waiter] Bon appétit.
- Um
- Excuse me. I will be right back.
- Mm-hmm.
- [Li] Mmm! Hey!
- Cheers!
Pretty impressive desserts, right?
Unbelievable.
Gabriel is heading in the right direction.
Towards the star? [chuckles]
That's all up to the Michelin gods.
That's it? There's
[inhales] nothing I can do?
Actually, there's one thing you can do.
[whimsical music playing]
It's on me.
Or Agence Grateau,
if Sylvie will let me expense it.
Oh, good luck with that.
[chuckles]
- [whispers indistinctly]
- [music fades]
Well, that was the most expensive
meet-and-greet.
I hate when things are out of my control.
Sounds like you need something
to dig your little terrier teeth into. Li?
Okay. I'm trying to launch
- a skincare product in Paris.
- Oh.
I've only sold direct to customers so far,
but I have investors backing me,
and can afford a French marketing firm,
maybe even Agence Grateau.
Oh, so this drink was a trompe-l'oeil.
- A what?
- [Mindy] It's okay.
When Em learns a new French phrase,
she loves to apply it to everything.
Guilty. But I would love to hear more
about the product.
Okay.
["Belladelic" by Les Bellas playing]
Every time I go to open the oven,
he screams that I'm going to flatten
his precious molecular soufflés.
- [objects clattering]
- [Emily] Oh.
Move-in day?
[panting] Yeah.
At least we're not going far.
[Gabriel] Let me help you. [grunts]
Merci. [panting]
[whimsical music playing]
- Hi.
- Hmm.
So, this is going to be the nursery.
Uh Or my art studio. [chuckles]
Babies don't need light.
All they do is sleep. A cupboard would do.
And, yes, we need furniture.
That's why we're going
to the Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen.
[gasps] I love that flea market.
It's huge.
- [Camille] Mm-hmm.
- Unlike this place.
- [Emily] Well, I'm gonna go to work.
- Yeah.
- See you later.
- See you later.
- Good luck at the market.
- Thank you.
Yeah, actually, I'll follow you out
because we still have
more stuff at Gabriel's.
[in French] I found something of yours
while I was unpacking.
- [sighs] Here.
- Non, non.
I want you to keep it.
It was your grandmother's.
It belongs in your family.
We're going to be a family, you keep it.
[gentle music playing]
Merci.
[Camille breathes deeply]
[exhales]
["Ne joue pas avec mon cœur"
by Les Terribles playing]
[gasps] Bonjour.
[in English] Here he is!
We're so glad you're back.
Me too.
I'm gonna miss
having my own office, though.
Or my old desk.
[song fades]
Oh. Yeah.
- It was nice while it lasted.
- Bzzz!
Oh, Sylvie, we have a new client
coming in today.
I know. I got your calendar invite.
But you didn't accept it. [chuckles]
Okay [vocalizes] Accept.
It's this amazing face moisturizer
called Kadiance.
I know. I hit accept, didn't I?
- Luc.
- Yeah?
[in French] Can I talk to you
in my office, please?
- You mean just you and me?
- [Sylvie] Oui!
But why? [hesitates]
Laurent and I
have been so busy opening his club
that we didn't celebrate his birthday.
I want to take him
somewhere special for dinner.
Ah. D'accord.
You need a recommendation?
More like a reservation. At a place
where it's impossible to get a table.
[whimsical music playing]
I was hoping your friend, Marianne,
could use her connections
Sure, of course!
I'm delighted to be able to help you.
Thank you.
[music fades]
[in English] She asked for a favor?
That's good.
You need a better relationship
with Sylvie to get a raise.
She just rehired Julien.
I'm not sure it's the right time
to ask for more money, you know?
If not now, when?
I will call L'Ambroisie.
By the end of the night,
you will get the raise you deserve.
- You think?
- [line disconnects]
Huh? Marianne? Marianne?
[cell phone clatters]
[peppy music playing]
[music fades]
And under the eyes,
Kadiance immediately softens dark circles.
Which I didn't have, to begin with.
Our online sales are strong,
but gaining retail shelf space
is proving a challenge.
Well, it's a competitive market.
[quirky music playing]
- What?
- [hesitates]
No, nothing. You're just so shiny.
[Emily chuckles]
Is she supposed to be that shiny?
Yes. [chuckles]
Matte is out. Wet is in.
It's a Korean beauty trend
called glass skin.
- All K-beauty influencers are doing it.
- [Li] Mmm.
- Oh.
- [Li] Thanks to hyaluronic acid,
peptides, and antioxidants,
it not only protects and plumps,
it locks in moisture
for full glassification.
It could be the next La Mer.
We just need to get it in front
of the same high-end cosmetics consumers
so they can try it.
Well, I have a contact
at Galeries Lafayette.
- Whoa.
- Oh, my God. Really?
But sampling events are expensive
and not always efficient.
I understand the risk.
All right, I'll make the call.
[all exclaim]
[Mindy] Oh, my God.
But, like, how shiny am I? [chuckles]
Very shiny.
Oh, yeah.
["La vérité nue" by Juniore playing]
So, what do you think?
It goes on and on.
Where do we even begin? [chuckles]
[gasps] With that.
[song fades]
Oh, my God!
[indistinct chatter]
It's a little early for
children's furniture when we don't have
actual furniture.
But it's so cute.
- Okay, come on. Let's be practical.
- [Camille chuckles]
[mellow violin music playing]
Oh!
Look at this easel. [gasps]
- Oh. Feel it. Feel it.
- [both chuckle]
It's French oak and iron.
Wouldn't this look stunning
on the window facing the square?
I thought we were being practical?
Yes, I am.
I would use this.
[Sofia] What?
[music fades]
I've already said this room is a nursery.
Yes, and it will be.
When the baby is born.
You're starting to sound like
you don't even want a baby.
No, Camille.
Look, I get it.
You were dragged into this.
But lately, you've been kind of negative,
saying things like,
"The baby can sleep in a cupboard."
[laughs] That was a joke.
Was it, though?
Yes.
Oh, my God. Buy the damn rocking horse
if it means so much to you.
I will.
Good.
["Keep It Rough" by Deepend
and WEDONT playing]
Keep it rough ♪
A wildfire in my soul ♪
After there's a storm ♪
Keep it rough ♪
[song fades]
- [in French] Seriously?
- [laughing]
How did you get a reservation?
I have my ways.
- Mmm.
- [soft music playing over speakers]
Bonsoir.
- Good evening. Welcome to L'Ambroisie.
- Merci.
Your name, please?
Grateau. For two.
Oh. I have you down for four.
Four?
Yes.
The other members are already seated
[Luc exclaims]
[in English] Over here. [laughs]
Hi.
Oh, mon dieu.
[in French] Let's go.
Let's find somewhere else.
Non, non.
We're here now, so let's have a good time.
[Laurent exhales sharply]
On y va?
[pleasant music playing]
[low indistinct chatter]
[Luc in English] Hey, Laurent.
- Ça va?
- Ça va bien. Bonsoir. Bonsoir.
Have a seat.
This is so thoughtful, Luc.
- What an unexpected surprise.
- [Luc chuckles]
[Marianne] It's not Luc's fault.
Unfortunately, I can't make a reservation
and not be present.
Of course.
But don't worry.
They always look after me here.
You're about to have a meal
you'll never forget.
- [Laurent chuckles]
- [chuckles hesitantly] I'm sure.
[mellow music playing]
[Gabriel sighs wearily]
Sorry to make you wait.
It's fine, really.
I thought I'd be done by now,
but we still have tables.
People must be talking
about these new desserts.
Word of mouth travels too slow.
[in French] The apple.
I made it with icing,
and finish with a delicate chocolate stem
and a little mint.
Et voilà.
Perfect on all sides. Like me.
See you later.
[in English] Ah, so you're the reason
we're fully booked.
Just doing my job.
Yeah, and I feel like Fabien's doing mine.
Taking over my kitchen with his soufflés
and chocolate wine bottles
that are so expensive to make,
I lose money when someone orders one.
[sighs wearily] I need a drink.
Can we go out tonight?
I'd like to take you
to my favorite late night spot.
It better not be the roof again.
- [chuckles] No. Unless you insist.
- [chuckles]
[mellow music continues]
- A sweet treat to end the degustation.
- [Luc exclaims]
More. [laughs]
- [Marianne] Look at those.
- I can't eat another bite.
- And I can't help myself.
- [Marianne laughs]
This is one of the best meals I ever had.
Fine food and even finer company.
The pleasure was all ours.
And dinner is our treat.
Oh! Well, that's so nice.
I hope someday we can return the favor.
Sure.
[soft music playing over speakers]
I want a raise.
- [cork pops nearby]
- [drink pouring]
Uh
What Luc is trying to say
is that he's been loyal to you, Sylvie,
far more than Emily or Julien.
[Luc] Yes.
And he would love to explore opportunities
to expand his role
and remuneration at Agence Grateau.
- Exactly.
- [Sylvie] Oh.
I see.
But my husband's birthday dinner
is hardly the appropriate place
to have this conversation.
Let's find another time to discuss this.
Yeah. Sure.
L'addition.
Thank you for comping our meal.
We wouldn't want
one of those precious stars to collapse.
Or explode.
You've got some nerve, Marianne.
I'm sorry, do I know you? [chuckles]
This woman is a fraud.
- [woman] What?
- [people gasp]
[Luc scoffs]
[Luc] She is not.
She's a Michelin inspector.
She used to be.
She was fired last year
for insider dining.
I'm sorry. How do you know this?
Because I am a Michelin inspector.
You're meant to be anonymous.
I'm reporting you.
[scoffs softly] Please,
go ahead. Report me.
I look forward to that.
Enjoy your evening.
We weren't able
to comp the meal on this occasion.
Thank you for dining with us.
Luc.
[quirky music playing]
Oh, mon dieu.
I can't afford this.
At least not without a raise.
I'll get this.
[softly] Merci.
Our conversation will have to wait.
And so will Gabriel's Michelin star
I imagine.
[gentle music playing]
[Sofia sighs]
[music fades]
What's going on?
I came to Paris
because I was worried about you.
I was not planning to move here.
Especially not across the hall
from your ex.
[chuckles]
So that's it?
You're leaving?
Yeah, I'm going home.
Sofia, wait. Can we discuss that?
You know,
you could come with me, if you want,
to Athens.
Paris isn't the only place
to raise a child.
You know I can't do that.
Because of him.
Because you can't live
more than two blocks away from Gabriel,
let alone 2,000 miles.
- You're not being fair.
- Oh! [scoffs]
["Désolée" by Fanny playing]
Camille. You are an amazing woman.
But I have a life in Athens.
Let me know
when you're ready to join me there.
[song continues]
[sighs deeply]
[door closes]
[sobbing]
[song fades]
I'm so sorry, Luc.
Why did you lie, Marianne?
Because you wanted me to be this thing.
It impressed you so much.
I would be with you. No matter what.
So if you don't work for Michelin,
what do you do?
How many times do I have to tell you?
I work for the phone company.
[both laugh]
You're crazy.
I know.
Yeah, you know that, huh?
- [groovy music playing]
- [both chuckle]
I know.
- Oh, Bouillon Chartier, huh?
- [Gabriel] Yeah.
I didn't think this was your kind of spot.
I always see a line outside.
Not at this time of night.
This is where we unwind
- after a long shift.
- [Emily] Oh.
- [Gabriel] Hey! Ça va?
- [man] Hey! Oh!
- [Gabriel] Hugo! You sexy beast!
- [man] Look who's coming.
[Hugo] Yeah, man! All right, all right.
Emily, this is Hugo.
Don't trust anything he says.
- [chuckling] Bonsoir.
- [laughs] Bonsoir. Enchanté.
Um, am I allowed to be here?
I'm not violating some secret
chef club code of conduct, am I?
- Ma'am, you're breaking all the rules.
- [Gabriel chuckles]
But we'll make an exception
because Gabriel
rarely comes by these days.
Too busy stargazing.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Come on, Gabriel. Give me a break.
L'Esprit de Gigi
is on the short list and you know it.
There's a short list?
Is that posted somewhere?
It's just chef's gossip.
Well, it's a very small,
incestuous community.
- Not that we're all sleeping together
- [chuckles]
even though we are.
- Hey.
- [Hugo laughs]
So, down those.
And catch up, because we are playing
- Biscuit!
- Biscuit.
- Oh, boy.
- Oh, yeah.
Biscuit?
["U CANT STOP ME NOW"
by Mandaworld playing]
[all cheering]
- Santé! Santé.
- [Hugo] Cheers.
- Biscuit!
- Biscuit!
[all exclaiming and laughing]
[laughs]
[all cheering and exclaiming]
Oh!
- [whoops]
- [laughter]
[all exclaiming]
[Hugo] Sorry.
[laughter]
All right, Michelin man. You're up.
I'd like to take this opportunity to say
[Gabriel exclaiming]
There are rumors going around,
but what's most important for me
is a high quality restaurant
that people want to come back to
time after time. That's it.
- [person 1] Sure.
- Bien sûr.
[overlapping chatter]
- [person 1] Sure.
- Okay.
And a star would be nice too.
[all laughing] Yeah.
And I hope And I hope it happens for you,
because when that call comes in, guys,
- your life completely changes.
- [person 2] Mm-hmm.
- [Hugo] Yep.
- It already has.
[all] Aw!
Ah, please, shut up.
Yes, shut up. Just for
[person 3] You shut up.
[Emily] Who knew chefs could be so fun?
- [Gabriel] Uh
- [Emily laughs]
- [Gabriel chuckles]
- [playing mellow tune]
Aw! It's so beautiful.
It's funny that Pont Neuf means new bridge
when it's the oldest one in the city.
- Live music and a French history lesson?
- [chuckles]
[chuckles] What a night.
[Emily sighs heavily]
[Emily sighs]
[Gabriel sighs]
[laughs]
[Gabriel] I just wanna freeze this moment,
standing here with you.
[soft, romantic music playing]
I love you, Emily.
I hope you know that.
I do now. [chuckles]
I love you too, Gabriel.
[romantic music soars]
[music fades]
[mellow music playing]
[Gabriel] I won't be able
to play that game ever again.
[Emily] What? I No.
I was pretty impressed with myself.
[Gabriel] I'm not sure.
[Emily laughs]
[mellow music continues]
Thanks again for tonight.
I had a really great time.
[softly] Me too.
[Emily chuckles]
[Emily chuckles]
[Emily laughs]
[music fades]
["Kananga" by AZUR playing]
[Li] And Kadiance is perfect
for lymphatic draining
and softening dark circles.
Which I don't have.
[song continues softly over speakers]
It's rare for an unknown brand
to catch on this quickly.
Let's see how sales go.
I usually don't take
referrals from friends,
but you made the right call,
bringing Li in. Hmm?
Merci. I'm glad the risk was worth it.
Have you two tried Kadiance yet?
- Oh, no.
- Not yet.
Well, you can't market it
without feeling that glass skin glow.
[Emily chuckles]
Come on.
Ooh.
Um, are we sure
Li's product is what she says it is?
- [Sylvie] Hmm?
- Because you reminded me of something,
so I did some digging,
and you both need to see this.
[softly] Luc. Viens par là.
Quoi?
[Julien] Li was on Fox's Lair last year.
Ooh, what's Fox's Lair?
You Americans call it Shark Tank.
- [gasps]
- Must you relabel everything?
Thanks to hyaluronic acid,
peptides, and antioxidants
What she said to us.
That is the same product.
- Yeah, wait for it.
- [Li] It's absolutely fantastic.
It protects, plumps, and locks in moisture
for sensual arousal and mutual pleasure.
This is some face cream.
Well, I tried it at home with my husband,
and we loved it.
We were slipping
around the sheets all night.
- Oh, God.
- [woman on video laughs]
But the profit margins are too low.
I'm not going to Harrods
to buy personal lubricant.
Kadiance is is lube?
Face lube.
[Li on video] And my question to you is
I had no idea, I swear.
why would you use
The beauty market
is very hard to penetrate,
but this product
is really pushing through.
[Julien] Hmm.
And look at my skin.
I look like a baby. [chuckles]
- Like you were just born.
- [Julien chuckles]
[chuckles]
Margaux, there is something
we need to tell you.
You may wanna sit down.
[intriguing, upbeat music playing]
- [imperceptible]
- [laughter echoes]
- [imperceptible]
- [music crescendos]
[music fades]
We think we should raise the price.
Yeah.
I was thinking the same thing. [chuckles]
Yeah, yeah, the more people want it,
the harder it should be to get.
[Margaux] Agree.
Our shelves are pretty tight,
but I think
we can slip it through the back door.
[Emily] Hmm.
Thank you for sliding it in.
- [Emily, Luc and Julien chuckle awkwardly]
- [quirky music playing]
I can't believe we got away with this.
I feel so cheap.
Do you wanna tell Margaux the truth?
No, of course not.
I'm just worried you're rubbing off on me.
I don't know if I like it.
Oh, Emily, you must feel like
everyone is out to deceive you, huh?
Uh No. Why would you say that?
You didn't tell her?
Luc, it's your mess, not mine.
Uh, let's let's talk about it tomorrow.
Talk about what?
[Luc hesitating]
It's a little bit awkward.
Or maybe you will laugh. [chuckles softly]
Uh, it turns out Marianne's
not a Michelin inspector anymore.
Ha-ha.
I don't understand. What are you saying?
He's saying she's a fraud.
What about Gabriel?
Does that mean he's not getting a star?
- But
- [Luc] Emily.
Please keep your cool and let me explain.
It began with a passionate love affair.
It's What?
[pleasant music playing]
[Camille in French]
I've been under a lot of stress. Um
Almost got married.
Moved house.
- Going through a breakup.
- Mm-hmm.
And this morning, I started spotting
- Ah.
- which made me worry about the baby.
You're pregnant?
Oui.
I should have come in sooner.
- You did a home pregnancy test?
- Mm-hmm.
I'm a bit lost right now.
Understandably.
Come on, let's have a look.
["La Fin" by Wreck Theory and Flo playing]
[song fades]
So I just had an appointment with my gyno.
Well, I'm not pregnant.
- Mmm.
- [Elise] Oh, là là.
Camille.
What? I'm sorry. What happened?
Nothing happened.
I was never pregnant. That's it.
What did she say?
She said that test I did
must have been a false positive,
that it was rare,
but could have been caused
by medications I'm taking.
And I didn't get my period
because of stress.
[Elise] Oh, là là.
It's been a stressful time for you.
Are you okay?
My whole body felt different.
I was so sure I was pregnant.
I was sure.
I'm sure it will happen one day.
[in English] Okay?
[in French] How did Gabriel take the news?
[Elise exclaims empathetically]
Camille.
I haven't told him yet because
he was so happy, so excited about this,
and has been so supportive.
And then the baby
has been keeping us in each other's lives.
- I have no idea what'll happen now.
- Attends, Camille.
Breathe. You're gonna
take some time for yourself first.
And when you're ready,
you'll break the news to Gabriel.
[wistful music playing]
[Fabien speaking indistinctly on video]
[Gabriel in English]
Hey, this is a nice surprise!
Uh, I'm not so sure about that.
Is everything okay?
[solemn music playing]
Not really. Um
Luc's girlfriend
isn't a Michelin inspector, after all.
She was fired a year ago,
and she's been pretending
to be one ever since.
[scoffs] Why would she do that?
I don't know. To impress Luc?
All I know
is that you're not getting a star.
Uh [sighs]
All that time and and effort and money.
I know. I'm really sorry.
[breathes deeply]
[music fades]
Would you excuse me for a second?
What are you doing?
Non, non, non, non!
[in French] You opened it!
My soufflés!
Non, non, non.
My soufflés.
In my restaurant.
Now pack up your bag of tricks,
and get out of my kitchen.
[gasps]
You're fired.
Allez!
["Deux êtres à part (feat. Elephanz)"
[by Toukan Toukän playing]
[Gabriel in English]
Honestly, I'm so relieved.
[in French] Drinks are on me!
[all] Oui!
[in English] I've never seen him so happy.
He should lose a star more often.
I think he's putting up a strong front,
- and reality will set in tomorrow.
- Hmm.
- I'm gonna go check on him.
- Mm-hmm.
Mmm. Mmm, hey, hey, hey, hey.
[Emily] Ooh! [laughs]
- Wow. [laughs]
- [Gabriel chuckles]
- [Gabriel and Emily chuckle]
- [Gabriel] Have some champagne.
[woman laughs]
- Hey!
- [Mindy] Bonsoir!
Grab a drink, it's a party.
They're engaged?
What? No. Can you imagine?
- [chuckles]
- Oh, my God. [laughs]
- What is he celebrating then?
- [Gabriel] Camille!
[Camille] Hey!
I'm not getting a Michelin star.
Oh. Is that good?
Yes. Yes, that's good.
That's that's very good.
It was too much pressure.
And I fired Willy Wonka over there,
so cheers to that.
- [Camille chuckles]
- Listen, honestly,
I have everything I need.
I have a great restaurant,
a smart, beautiful girlfriend
- [Emily chuckles]
- and a baby on the way.
[Camille] Mmm.
I'm the luckiest man alive.
Champagne?
Um No. Not for me. Thank you.
Baby.
- [Gabriel] Cheers.
- [all] Cheers!
[upbeat music playing]
