Post by bunniefuu »

[theme music plays]

Are you upset I'm leaving, my love?

You've been looking sad since yesterday.

What is it?

Nothing.

You don't want to stay alone

with Daddy?

No, it's it's just

Mommy,

are we completely white?

What do you mean?

Do we have anything else

other than white ancestors?

I'm not 100% sure,

but pretty much, yes.

We're studying sl*very.

White people

were sl*ve traders, Mom.

sl*very was so evil.

Yes, sl*very was a true evil thing.

And we're the terrible white people

who did those things, Mom.

Our ancestors.

They would separate families,

sell children, whip them.

Listen, Albert,

our ancestors were growing cabbage

near Saint-Malo in Brittany,

and on your dad's side, in Auvergne,

mostly sheep farmers.

We don't have ancestors

that were sl*ve traders.

Really?

I mean, France was more colonial,

which is not great but

What about my friends at school?

Are they descendants

of sl*ve traders?

Well, I can't speak for their ancestors,

but for us,

strictly cabbage and cheese.

Are we rich, Mom?

Uh, rich? Yes.

We're good. We're fine.

You don't have

to worry about anything.

It says that John and Paul

came from poor families.

Kids of rich people don't

achieve great things.

Hmm.

Well, we're not that rich because

if I lose my job tomorrow,

we'll lose everything.

Even the house?

Even the house.

[chuckles]

Good night, Mom.

- [in French] - I love you.

- I love you.

[in English] Do you remember

that beautiful little lime green frog,

the ring holder you made me?

I was looking at it this morning

and I was thinking

it would be so nice if you made me

something like that again.

So, that's why doing your birthday

at Pottery Corner

is such a great idea,

you know?

You and Dad said yes to paintball

because this year

it's actually my real birthday.

You know how much I hate

being born on a leap year.

- It's not fair.

- All right.

I don't want you to get upset.

I just I'm a little concerned.

The other kids, you know,

their parents

might not let them go,

you know?

All my friends were super excited.

All right.

I just I don't understand

why you like

sh**ting g*ns so much, Orion.

It's just a game, Mom.

I'm scared of real g*ns.

We can go to Pottery Corner

over the weekend

and I'll make you

whatever you want. Okay?

[chuckles]

Yeah. All right. It's a deal.

[smooches]

All right.

You should get some sleep

[in Farsi] my dear.

- Good night.

- Good night.

[in English] Yeah?

Do you think that Dad

is gonna come back

and live with us anytime soon?

I don't know, sweetie.

Well, you don't have to be sad.

You have me

and we have each other.

And that's the truth.

That is the truth.

[chuckles]

Sometimes I wish we could go live

in a tiny little burrow,

like bunnies.

I love bunnies.

Like this.

- [Sebastian] It's so cozy.

- [Anne chuckles]

[Sebastian] Can we go live

in a burrow with Sir Gaga?

[Anne] Yes.

We'll live with him. Only him.

[both laugh]

Sweetie, I'm so sorry.

I fell asleep.

I just

I'm gonna make you some dinner.

- What do you guys want?

- Mom, it's 10:00 PM.

I made mac and cheese

and then put Kai to bed.

Well, that's really sweet of you.

Thank you.

Yeah, he's a good kid.

You're all good kids.

I'm a super lucky mom.

- So where's your brother?

- He's in the bathroom.

He's been in there

for 20 minutes and I don't know why.

Oliver?

[Oliver] Can I have some privacy?

I'm pooping.

- Oliver.

- Leave me alone.

No, no one poops at 10 o'clock.

Go to bed.

- [Oliver] Oh, my God.

- [rattles door]

[Sarah] Dude, go to bed.

♪♪♪

[in French] Do you really

have to leave for two days?

[in French] Yes, I have to.

There's the radio thing tomorrow

and a photo op this afternoon.

Don't forget to disinfect your hands

and the belt buckle in the plane.

Also, avoid touching your face.

That's super important.

Don't you think you're being overdramatic?

Not at all. I heard there are

a lot of cases in San Francisco.

I talked to a very high-level expert.

- A very high-level expert?

- Yes. It's only the beginning.

[in English] Mommy, look!

Oh, look at that giant crow.

[in French] That's not a crow.

That's an eagle.

[in French] Of course not, Martin.

It's all black. It's a crow.

No, that's an eagle. Not a crow.

[in English] I mean, it's really hard

to tell because of the light.

[in French] Is it?

I was sure it was a crow.

Not at all! Are you blind or something?

That thing's obviously an eagle.

- Yeah, maybe. You're right.

- Yes, obviously.

It must be an eagle, then.

[man, in English] Did you guys see

that giant crow?

- It's amazing.

- [crow squawks]

[car horn honks]

[in French] Ah, here comes the car!

- I'm leaving.

- Bye.

- I love you, Mum.

- I love you!

- Don't forget to wash your hands!

- Yes.

[crow squawking]

I love you, Mum.

- Bye.

- Goodbye.

All this bullshit.

The whole time

he just wanted me

to spy on my husband?

My God, I thought I was part of

this grand espionage for carpets

and I find out I'm in The Americans,

but with less f*cking.

Yasmin, you know

the landscape right now.

We're all walking on eggshells.

We have to comply with everything.

This is

a dangerous time for us.

[scoffs]

I'm an American citizen, Darian.

I gave three years

of my life protecting this country.

William, he has no political

consciousness at all.

I mean, that's I don't know.

He's a liberal. He recycles.

He would compost

if he could find the right bin.

That's about it. I mean, that's

the whole reason I married him

is that, you know,

he's exactly who he says he is.

There's no twists and turns

with him.

- [sighs]

- Then clear him. You'll be done.

That's what you say now.

I mean, you're never done.

They always find a way

to suck you back in.

It's like a damn cult.

- [in Farsi] Don't think so.

- Don't touch me.

Why not?

[in English] I'm not

in a cuddly mood, okay?

I wasn't that night either.

I was drunk.

My girlfriend had just broken up

with me and we cuddled.

"Cuddled."

You had a hard-on.

I had never felt that before.

You're my cousin.

Yas, I was asleep.

My p*nis got hard.

Can we not?

I was 16 years old.

That's all I'm saying.

And I was 17, Yasmin.

You forgot?

Don't act innocent, okay?

You always betray me.

How so?

♪♪♪

I can't imagine a more blissful

Saturday at home

then with that scrumptious

8-hour pot au feu

simmering on the stove.

You don't have to stay home

because actually I leave it so low

that there's no danger.

You know, you can go about

your day and then come back

seven hours later

and put in the vegetables.

[chuckles]

I love everything about this.

Your prose recipes,

your tongue-in-cheek tone.

I will have an order in by tonight.

Oh, great.

Margaret, right?

Yeah. That's right.

- Nice to meet you.

- You too.

Bye.

That was Margaret Von Arcs

from Williams-Sonoma.

Congrats.

That's like 230 stores right there.

Oh, my God.

Thanks.

Yeah, that's great.

[sighs]

[man] Hola.

- Hola.

- Mm-hmm.

[inhales]

[Hmm. [clicks tongue]

Yeah. I prefer the real thing.

You mean me

compared to the photo?

- Well, thanks.

- [laughs]

I mean, they make you look

like a starving model.

Don't get me wrong.

You look absolutely stunning,

but a starving chef?

I mean, what's the point?

That's not very good publicity, no?

- [chuckles]

- Well, I'm definitely not a starving chef,

but they, you know, they kept on

Photoshopping everything.

I told them not to.

Well, I'm Francisco Ortega.

My stand is over there.

If you like Argentinian cooking,

I can give you my book.

Yeah. I would love

- Great.

- I love Argentinian cooking.

I'm Justine Loiselle.

French mostly French cooking.

- Little Corsican.

- Oh.

I can see it, Justine Loiselle.

People like us, we take care of

the people we love with our cooking.

The Americans think

it's about fancy pans and recipes.

No, no, no.

Cooking is love.

Love. [sighs]

My mother.

She died with a smile on her face

after eating my grilled squid.

There she was,

just eating my love for her.

And then she was gone

[chuckles]

with a smile

I will always remember.

Wow. This is so sad

and beautiful in some ways.

Do you wanna

Do you wanna try

the soup dumplings of a lifetime?

I know the place in Chinatown.

Mmm.

But we've got to leave soon

because after 4:00,

it gets kind of crazy.

Come on, Justine.

Little light, fluffy ba*ls

of deliciousness

that melt in your mouth

like tiny little clouds.

- Poof.

- Poof.

[both laugh]

Well, how can I resist?

20 minutes.

Bye.

- Sophie?

- Hmm?

Can I can I go

in about 20 minutes?

- Mm-hmm. No worries.

- It's all yeah.

We're all good now.

- Thanks.

- Mm-hmm.

My parents keep bugging me

about those pictures

- from Orion's school play.

- What are you doing?

You changed the code.

Of course I change it.

You should be changing yours, too.

He's at that age.

They get on YouTube and

something innocent

like a centipede

turns into something

not so innocent.

I can hear you and

we can just put up a firewall

and I'm done with my homework.

Can I do a little iPad?

- Yes, you can. [chuckles]

- Yeah.

You're too smart for me, honey.

Speaking of YouTube,

I watched Ell's thing.

It's actually pretty funny.

It is funny.

I'm just I'm surprised.

That doesn't seem like you.

- Why? She sent it to us.

- I don't know. Yeah.

You know what?

You never told me

how it went

up in Palo Alto that time.

Pr fine.

- Yeah?

- Yeah. I saw a lot of old friends.

- Mm-hmm.

- Bunch of people

I haven't seen in years.

- Mm-hmm.

- Yeah.

Yeah. Orion, didn't you

You mentioned something

about a tiger, right?

It was so cool.

This kid was 10

and he had a tiger

sleeping in his room.

- My God.

- Yeah, some Saudi kid.

- Mm-hmm.

- [quietly] He was an as*h*le.

He kept bragging

about his pet tiger.

Calling it his big cat.

He had, like, a live cam

in the tiger cage.

It's like, we get it.

You have a tiger.

- Good for you.

- Okay.

Yeah. I mean, you know,

Saudis.

- They can buy anything they want.

- Yeah.

- And anyone they want.

Everything's for sale when

you're that f*cking rich, right?

Mm-hmm.

[scoffs]

What's going on with your eyes?

Oh, nothing.

They're just little dry.

Oh.

I'll go get you some drops.

Sure.

- [Justine] Ooh, la la.

- [Francisco] Whoo-h*-h*.

Soup in a dumpling,

I agree, it defies logic,

but like everything

that defies logic, it is magical.

And you know it's good

when they get a C rating

because you need a really dirty kitchen

for this kind of food.

- [laughs]

- Really? [laughs]

Yeah. This kind of taste.

Okay.

Oh, no, no, wait! Don't let it get out.

You've got to drink it.

- You've got to drink it like this.

- How? What?

- Look. You puncture. [slurps]

- Oh. Okay, okay.

[slurps] Wait. [slurps]

Wait, don't drink it all.

Wait. Wait.

You leave a little bit inside

and then

you eat the whole thing.

Okay.

Mmm!

I can't get it.

[muffled speech]

Mmm!

[full-mouth laughs and speech]

It's so embarrassing!

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Thank you for taking me here.

I would have never known.

It was an amazing dinner.

Hmm. No, this wasn't dinner.

This was

[in French] an appetizer.

[in English] I'm planning

to cook for you later.

- Really?

Oh, that's delicious.

Full of flavors.

Oh, my God,

it reminds me of that stew.

I had this stew when

I was like, uh, 15 years old.

- Uh-huh.

- I went to in the South of France,

we went, like, a school trip,

bunch of kids and

and this guy,

this guy from this village,

a weird guy had prepared

this amazing stew, okay?

He had cooked it for three days,

a wild boar stew

that he had probably,

- I don't know, m*rder*d, you know.

- [laughs]

- Somewhere, hunt hunted somewhere.

- Mm-hmm.

And we were all at the table laughing

and screaming and suddenly,

we tried the stew

and everyone went quiet.

It was so amazing that we

we all started crying, all together.

It was incredible.

And that's why I decided

I mean, that's what made me

decide to be a chef, basically.

That's amazing.

Wow.

You know what we should do?

We should go to the fish market

tomorrow morning.

- It's so beautiful.

- [inhales deeply]

I can't. I know,

I hear it's amazing,

but I have,

uh, this radio interview

and then I have to fly home.

When are you going

back to Buenos Aires?

I have an interview tomorrow evening

in Los Angeles

and then I fly the next morning.

What interview

do you have in LA?

I have an offer

to take over The Great Depot.

Oh, my God.

It's an amazing restaurant.

How did you get the visa?

I mean, sorry, just to work.

- You know, the papers?

- No, they took care of everything.

- You're lucky.

- Yeah, I know.

I'm just Justine, I'm[sighs]

I'm just not sure

if I could live here.

You must miss France.

No, I do. I do. And and, you know,

I go back in the summer,

but the truth is before I moved here,

when I was in France,

people would tell me

I couldn't be a chef.

Like almost every day.

[in French] "You can't do that!"

- [in English] The French.

- The French. [laughs]

It was horrible.

Anyway. [gasps]

Oh, my God.

That's a very big scar.

Yeah. That is the price we pay

for being chefs.

Oh, oh, no. Wait, wait.

- Locro.

- Locro. The soup.

- Mm-hmm.

- Argentinian soup.

Yeah. It's so good.

- Hmm, this is like a souffle.

- Hmm.

Soufflé au fromage de chèvre.

Goat cheese souffle.

Your skin is like goat milk.

- Baa.

- [snorts]

[laughs] Justine.

So when are you going to move

to LA with your family?

Well, my son studied in Madrid,

so he's there right now

and my wife, let's just say

we have a lot of fun

playing Scrabble, but

there's no more magic

on either side.

What about you?

Oh, I have a son, Albert.

He's 11

and he's playing the piano

all day long.

And then his dad,

Martin is an amazing dad

and he's very supportive

and he's great.

A a brilliant architect

and he's really been great

because he moved to LA

because of me,

and then he's a brilliant architect

and he's very supportive

and he's he's great. I mean

What about the magic?

Well, there's still magic.

- [chewing]

- Aah!

That's lucky.

It must be awesome to still

Sorry to bother.

I have a bunch of coupons

can I combine them

I'm sorry, ma'am,

That's trout.

Very bony fish.

If he's a fish,

why is he not swimming?

because a fisherman

fished him from the sea and

then brought him to the store

Yeah,

everybody eats dead fish.

Liar! The fish I eat does not
