Did you take a picture of your...

Of my p*nis.

It's called a p*nis, Manue.

And a nude, we send it to people
who we sleep with.

- When is bedtime...
- Thanks, I'm not interested.

You surprise me.

- Are you letting go of her?
- [Theo] I'm fine.

I heard you chatted
with the man of your dreams.

Oh no, not at all.

I created my profile and it pissed me off.

- Hello.
- Hello, Naïm.

- What are we talking about?
- It was nothing.

- Blake's app.
- Blake's app?

Blake. Sexy, millionaire,
who lives here?

The jacket guy.
He made the Dear You app.

Oh yes.

- I'm not very diligent.
- [notification Grindr]

[little laugh]
That's it, my cat.

You should be the one downloading
Dear You. No need for pictures!

It's sure that for you,
It's all about personality.

What does that mean?

- Are they always like that?
- Yes.

- All right.
- [notification]

- Otherwise, you...
- I'm going.

Okay, no worries.

[he sighs] Hello.

[Alma] Hello.

- [Alma] Mme Blake ?
- Mrs. Blake. I would like that.

M. Blake ?

M. Blake ?

[the door closes]

M. Blake ?

M. Blake ?

- [water flow]
- M. Blake...

Is anyone there?

Yes ?

Ah, it's you. Hello.

Good morning.

- You wanted to see me?
- Yes.

Can we make the room?
We're having a press day here.

- Press day?
- Yes.

So you're staying?

Didn't we tell you?

Besides, I'm having lunch at the hotel.

If you could predict something?

- OK.
- THANKS.

[upbeat music]

[Alma] Why does he stay?

For the quality of service.

What's your problem?

- I find him nice.
- [Marco] Soul?

- Have you seen Mr. Blake?
- Right now.

He spoke about a press day.

He decided
to do all his PR in Paris.

It suits me,
he occupies my Prestige suite.

Take care of him personally.

- Me?
- Yes.

For what ?

This is your new job, Alma.
Meeting customer expectations.

Yes, I know that.

But not necessarily
become their assistant.

No, except when it's a request.
He demanded your presence.

- Is there a problem?
- Non.

It's just that I have a lot of work.

The priority is Blake.

All his information is on the CRM.

I told you so.

Quality of service.

[exclamations from the cooks]

Chef, I have a carpaccio
of Saint-Pierre.

[in English]Okay.

It's not on the menu anymore.
Who is asking?

Alma for Blake.

- [in English] Do it.
- We don't have any.

[in French] She's boring me.
She doesn't understand anything.

[in English] No John Dory.
Do you understand?

[she speaks in English]

I don't understand a thing of what she's saying.

We replace the John Dory with halibut.

[in English] "Go", you understand?

Be careful with JB.

If you think that a basic straight
freaks me out.

[Blake] Where are we?

[Océane] I just hung up
with GQ , Society and Marie-Claire .

I'm still waiting for further feedback.

But it's super difficult
to organize this at the last minute.

I know, Ocean,
but we launch a dating app.

It's better to do it
in the city of love rather than LA

- [Océane] Yeah.
- [there is a knock]

I'll call you back.
See you later.

Excuse me,
the photographer is in the patio

- for the sh**ting.
- OK.

- Your lunch is ordered.
- Thank you, Alma.

If there is anything I can do,
don't hesitate.

Will you be there?

For the sh**ting?

No, it's not planned.

Would that bother you?

My pleasure, Mr. Blake.

- See you soon.
- See you soon.

[upbeat music]

Hey.

Thanks. I said "no parsley"!

What ? Where from?

JB already pissed me off...

Sorry, that's not my problem anymore.

Are you serious?

Oh yeah, you're ready for anything.

Blake hates parsley.

What ?

It's in the CRM.

Admit it, you kind of like him.

[sigh]

He's an as*h*le
condescending and arrogant

who thinks he can do anything
because he's not bad.

Was it in the CRM too?

And you said "not bad".

You can remove "photogenic".
Look at him, you miskine .

[photographer] OK...

We must help him.

[photographer] Relax your shoulders.

Did you hear Marco?

This is the customer you can't miss.

You go.

[photographer] Look into the distance.

Come on.

I made you a carpaccio
halibut, if you're hungry.

Thanks. I'll eat it later.

I understand better Dear You.

Photos aren't your thing.

I hate it.

You don't want to try to...

- Relax?
- Oh yes !

- No, but in the body.
- Yeah.

Move your right leg forward, to see?

OK.

Um, put your hand on your thigh.

May I allow myself?

Uh... yeah.

That one in the pocket...

There, like that.

- Like that ?
- To be ?

I feel like a f*cking idiot.

[he blows]

Smile, to see?

A little more.

Don't smile.

Relax your face, like this.

- [laugh]
- [photographer] Great.

- THANKS.
- [photographer] Very good.

On continue.

[click]

That's great, let's continue.

Alright, relax your shoulders.

Very good, that.

Alright, let's continue.

[Océane] It helps, a model mother.

To get a job too, I guess.

- Who told you about my mother?
- The housekeeper.

I hadn't made the connection.
right away.

You don't look alike.

Are we looking straight ahead?
Yeah, very good.

I launch.

So, Dear You is an app
dating without photo.

It's original. Why this concept?

Because it’s original, precisely.

The market is saturated,
we wanted to differentiate ourselves.

How was Dear You born?

With my wife, Louise,

we met on an app.

At the time, I had just released Pix,
which had worked well.

- Your 1st app.
- Yes.

I've been in the media quite a bit.

It was very new to me, I...

I am the discreet type,
I'm not a fan of all that.

So it was difficult
to meet someone.

It's hard to know if it was
precisely me who they liked.

I signed up for an app,
without putting a photo.

I haven't had many matches.

There I met Louise.

Which she also didn't have a photo of.

She came
from a traditional aristocratic family,

Getting on an app was tricky.

And... it was love at first sight.

We fell in love like that,

chatting without ever having seen each other.

[soft music]

[journalist] And then?

And we met for the first time.

Here at the Folie.

And a year later, we...

I proposed to her here.

But the physical remains important.

Of course.

There are other apps for that.

That's all there is to it!

[little laugh]

Those who want to consume
will go to these kinds of apps.

And those who want
really meet someone

will go to Dear You.

Take, for example.
Mrs. Caretti,

can you come for two minutes?

I need you.

Please.

THANKS.

For example, you,

you prefer
someone smart or handsome?

Well, I would say...

- Intelligent, of course.
- [he laughs]

And rather funny or rather beautiful?

Quite funny.

- And...
- Attentive, kind,

passionate, curious, interesting

or beautiful?

So.

For a typical user
like her,

Physical appearance matters less than anything else.

You can also want someone
intelligent, kind and handsome.

[he laughs] Yes. But there,
you want it all, then.

I'm speaking in general.

I am not
than a typical user.

[reporter] Thank you, Mr. Blake.

- It's good for me.
- THANKS.

- How was it?
- Alright.

- GOOD ?
- Super.

Every time, the media, it...

I'm picking up the microphone.

[Blake] I'll leave you...

- I'm going to tidy up.
- Get all that back.

Bye.

Alma ?

It went pretty well, right?

And I insisted on the hotel
so that it is in the article.

- That's nice.
- [little laugh]

I have a problem to deal with.

Are you coming back after?

I would like you to stay.

I am neither your assistant nor an object.
to use in your interview.

- Especially if it's for...
- If it is for?

What, for me?

Especially if it's to sell.
your app on your wife's back,

which doesn't seem to matter that much.

[soft music]

Two seconds.
I'm looking at how to make a Negroni.

[he mumbles] Tac, tac...

- You don't know how to do them?
- Non.

You know, you?

No. But I'm not a bartender.

Me neither.
Basically, I'm a cook.

There is more space in the kitchen.

But you have room at the bar,
SO...

barman.

You took a job as a bartender,
but you're not a bartender.

That's it.

I don't even drink alcohol.

But I'm a fast learner, look.
I have classes.

Everything is fine.

Vermouth.

Hein ?

You... you wanted something?

A tea with lemon
in a cup.

Oh yes.

I know how to do that.

[droning]

Hop. Watch out, it's hot.

Tea, and lemon right here.

There you go, hop there.
[he blows]

[Manue] We finish the turndown of the 3rd
and we're done.

[Sam] Very well, thank you, Manue.

Next time, give us more warning.
for special requests.

It messes up my whole schedule.

I asked to make the room
Blake's for the interview.

[Alma sighs]

- How are you ?
- I don't really know.

Between Théo and Manue, now...

Nobody respects me, I think.

It's not for me.

Hey, Alma, everything's okay.

They have to get used to it,
that you find your marks.

Everyone screws up, at first.

I still screwed up pretty badly.

Mr. Blake was talking about his wife
while he cheats on her.

I put it back in its place.

Maybe I shouldn't have
talk to him like that.

Apple, Apple, Apple.

His wife is dead.

When ?

A year ago.

The person you are trying
to join is not available.

Hello, Albert, it's Alexandre.

I'm in Paris, I'd like to talk to you.

- It's about Louise.
- [there is a knock at the door]

Please call me back.

Glen Moray 21 single malt.

I think this is your favorite.

[little laugh]

I wanted to tell you, I'm sorry.

I didn't know about your wife.

I should never have spoken to you like that.

I got ideas.

It was very inappropriate.

And especially not professional.

I hope you will be willing
forgive me.

THANKS.

Do you want a drink?

I can't, I have work.

OK. Next time, then.

My pleasure.

Good evening.

Good evening.

[̂soupir]

[sigh]

[Théo] Question of presence,
of charisma...

[Manue] You can't learn that.

- I don't know...
- It's innate.

- How are you ?
- Yeah and you?

I know it's been complicated

and that our new report,
It's weird.

When I ask you something,
you have to do it.

It's not to play boss.
This is our job.

Manue, you didn't have to
to talk to me like that.

Hmm.

Theo, we are friends, but when we are here,

We must maintain a professional relationship.

OK.

I have a lot to learn
and I need your support.

THANKS.

I'll let you b*tch.

If it brings you closer, that's something.

[Theo] Who b*tch? You b*tch?

[Manue] "b*tch", is that the beach?
