It's not like yeah reality stars. And the American version is like the reality stars. I'm like, a fuck off. like I i got yeah couldn't make it through one episode without hating everybody so bad I couldn't watch it anymore.

Has like the Traders New Zealand, the Traders Australia, the Traders, the original Traders, which is, I believe it's the Netherlands or Denmark or somewhere out there. Oh, I thought it was the thing.
00:01:27
Speaker
No, the original Traders is um Northern Europe. I don't remember which which country.
The Social Experience of Watching Reality TV
00:01:32
Speaker
Oh. But it's all on Peacock. The problem is, I need to watch that show with somebody. Caitlin and I watched all of that together. And now, who am I going to turn to and say, can you believe this? Yeah, exactly. Can you believe this? I've got to have somebody to watch the Traders. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, totally. Absolutely. Reality TV... I don't think is for solo watching because there's so many times that I'm just like, well, of course, Max, Max, all you've done is complain. Why are you saying you never complain? You just told Captain Sandy.
00:02:07
Speaker
Captain
Exploring 'Nirvana the Band, the Show'
00:02:08
Speaker
Sandy. Yeah, it's it's a fun time. I saw a movie the other day, I think everyone should go see it. It is called Nirvana the Band, the show, movie. Have you heard of this? Oh, I've heard of this. I've seen trailer, I'm curious...
00:02:25
Speaker
I had not even seen a trailer. I had just heard about it. And then I've seen a bunch of like four and five star reviews on Letterboxd. And yeah um a podcast I listen to a lot. um One of the people on there is obsessed with it, has been talking about it. He saw it at South by Southwest like last March. And wow the thing he said is, I don't see how this is ever going to get ah released in theaters. And somehow it did. And that is, it's absolutely like, it's a comedy. I don't want to say anything too much about it because you don't really need to know anything about it. It's based on this Canadian TV show that was originally a web show. These two got kids made in their apartment, like in 2007, 2008.
00:03:04
Speaker
And then 10 years after that, they've got like a real show on CBC and some, I don't remember what what other station it was on, but it was, you know, it's Canadian. Yeah, yeah.
00:03:15
Speaker
And it was kind of a remake of the web show. And then that then that they made this movie based like as an extension of that.
Comparisons with Other Mockumentaries
00:03:22
Speaker
And it is about two guys who are in a band. It's a mockumentary kind of thing where they're like talking to the camera and stuff.
00:03:29
Speaker
It's a little bit like what we do in the shadows there or, or fly to the concords, but there's no music really. i mean, the one guy plays music sometimes, but the band doesn't have any songs.
00:03:40
Speaker
They don't have, they're not really a band. Yeah. They're called Nirvana the band and they want to play at this kind of this bar in Toronto. And that is what every episode of the show is about. And that is what the movie is about. They want to play at the Rivoli and things get weird. And it's one of the, it's kind of like the mission impossible movies where you're like, how did they make this movie? except it's even more so because it's so low budget.
00:04:04
Speaker
Okay. You're watching and you're just like, is it is this real? Like, did they did they do this? This is fucking crazy. this real? if So it's the best to go in as blind as possible. It's um it's it's great. it's so It's so fun. It's the best movie I've seen all year.
Adapting 'Wuthering Heights' for Screen
00:04:19
Speaker
I mean, it's only March, but still. Yeah, and you haven't seen Wuthering Heights yet.
00:04:24
Speaker
Um, no. yeah
00:04:30
Speaker
Um, I told my mom about it. I was – Direct to listeners to our – fuck, what was the last episode? I don't even remember. I don't remember. Oh, ah sweet home um Sweet Home Alabama episode. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Talk yeah about Wuthering Heights.
00:04:44
Speaker
Yeah. um Oh, no, wait. I think we talked about it in the notebook because I just edited the notebook and released it today. Oh, okay. So, yeah. There you go. But I told my mom about it yesterday. I was like, Mom, have you seen Wuthering Heights yet? And she was like, no, I haven't. i was like, well, have you read the book? She's like, oh, yeah, several times. And I was like, oh.
Storytelling Techniques in Classic Novels
00:05:01
Speaker
Well, then I don't know if you're going to like it. You know who didn't the book? Emerald Fennell. Yeah. Yeah.
00:05:10
Speaker
ah I was like, it ends with, um it ends with, ah i mean, spoiler for Wuthering Heights. It ends with Kathy dying. And she goes, you don't get Kathy haunting Heathcliff? That's the best part of the book.
00:05:23
Speaker
That's like the last third, really. It may be even longer than that. Yeah. Well, I'm a little over halfway through the book and we have yet have her. And how romantic is it?
00:05:34
Speaker
It's not romantic. Well, there's some romance. No, it's I mean, when she dies. Like many books of the 19th century, it is about how hard it was to be a woman in the 19th century and how your life is decided by the worst people in the world. Yeah. And like, if I'm going to pick a battle, it's that why the hell in the 19th century did every single author have to do every single book like...
00:06:02
Speaker
From like in one of those, I'm a guy going on a journey and then I'm sat down and told the story. Like what the fuck? Because they didn't have a context for it. I mean, that's the thing. Like the novel is relatively new. Like the novel was only invented in English, at least in like the 1700s. So it was only barely a hundred years old and not, you know, super popular by that point anyway. Like poetry and And drama were were far, far more popular than than the novel for for a long time. It wasn't really until the 19th century that the novel became popular. And all of this had to... like It's kind of like how before um Eisenstein in the movies, like people were afraid to cut away from something to something else without what what late because they thought they thought the audience would get confused. Because there's no... Because you don't have a um You don't have a... like a um
00:06:59
Speaker
a context for for watch for film watching. mean, you don't have a context for for reading prose either. So all of it, so again, like a lot of early novels had to be okay. Like, here's a guy.
00:07:12
Speaker
here's what's happening. Like you can't just drop into it that way. I'm just going on this journey. And I came across this guy, Dick guy in his like farmhouse. And then I'm sat down by his maid and I'm like, who are all these weird people in the house? And she's like, well, let me tell you a tale.
Introducing 'Go Get Your Girl' Podcast
00:07:31
Speaker
And that's Wuthering Heights. And I'm like, no Kathy POV, no Heathcliff POV. That's fine. They didn't really do POVs until maybe the 20th century. I'm not sure. What's the first book with POVs, y'all?
00:07:47
Speaker
i I don't know. Twilight? Certainly not that. Twilight famously is only one POV. Twilight is first person. Correction, Midnight Sun is Edward's POV. Yes, but that's a different book.
00:08:04
Speaker
But it's part of the Twilight series. Oh my God. Okay.
00:08:12
Speaker
Twilight, famously featured in today's film. I guess. That's right. You guessed it, guys. This is Go Get Your Girl. This is the podcast where Emma and Katie are two...
00:08:27
Speaker
People who just don't want to have a normal job and they just want to bang old dudes for money and live their fabulous lives on the southern coast of France. um But along the way... where ua a c a ah but along the way we meet a very charming gentleman who we think is is also a rich gentleman. Turns out he was just the valet or the bartender or whatever his job was at that hotel. And he's poor as hell.
00:09:02
Speaker
He's bit of a jack of all trades at the hotel, it seems. Yeah, little bit of a jack of all trades. Almost like a manager, but not quite a manager. ah i I really would love to see the White Lotus version of this film. Yeah.
00:09:16
Speaker
Well, you'll see it. That's the next season is, I believe, don't know, it's Marseille or or somewhere like that. Oh, That's true. That's true. Yeah, yeah. But yeah. And so along the way, and then we bang. And then um that are rich fiance old fiance finds out that we banged this other dude and then breaks up with us. And now we got to be like, well, are you going to pay for my lifestyle? And he's just like, I'll try. And so we basically financially ruin him.
French Comedy and Cultural Humor Differences
00:09:46
Speaker
Big time.
00:09:47
Speaker
ah Big time. Along the way, we become friends. ah And also, he starts banging an old lady and comes to our side of the the the world.
00:10:00
Speaker
yeah Yeah, yeah, I don't know. but We fall in love. Blah, blah, blah, French. I'm Emma. And I'm Katie. And...
00:10:11
Speaker
This is go Get Your Girl or Va Chercher Ta Meuf. Oh, oui, oui. And um we were talking about the 2006 movie Priceless or Au De prix, which is ah French for Without a price. Yep.
00:10:31
Speaker
but yeahp Which doesn't mean priceless, really. It means, like, just really, which I guess priceless also just means really expensive. But the term yeah priceless in English means something different. Whereas, au du prix means, like, just really expensive. and Priceless in in English has the connotation of, like, like literally, like, you can't put a ah price on it. like Like, love, for example. Yeah, exactly. Like, love.
00:10:58
Speaker
But they don't really have that concept to that phrase in French. Yeah. they They have a price on love. And it is a euro every 10 seconds. Yeah. Which is a lot.
00:11:10
Speaker
It's a lot, especially the exchange rate. Like, it's not good for the American dollar right now. um it I don't know if that's true. I'm going to assume that's true. i that It is written and directed by Pierre Salvadori, um who has written and directed a lot of French comedies that no one in America has seen or heard of. Nope. um It is also co-written with Benoit Graffini or Graffite. It may have autocorrected to Graffite.
00:11:40
Speaker
So it might be, let's see. is it Graffite? Graffite. I'm going to assume it's graffit. No, it's graffin. Graffin. um So, yes. And they have made a bunch of French comedies that no one has seen, including a movie called The Trouble With You with Audrey Tateau and Beautiful Lies with Audrey Tateau.
00:12:02
Speaker
I mean, she's fabulous. And a bunch of other stuff. Like, French comedies are so crazy because, like, so they are... They make them constantly in France. They're yeah very, very popular. And they are like...
00:12:16
Speaker
like A lot of them are completely unwatchable to American audiences. like Yeah. They're they're real dumb. They're so stupid and bad. Yeah. think I'm sorry, France. Like, I love France. Yeah. Yeah.
00:12:29
Speaker
If anybody knows Katie, they know Katie loves France. But my God. Can't watch this shit. There was lot in this movie that I was just like, wow, this is so French. Wow. I guess I'd get this more if it I were French. Yeah. I wrote, it's a, um it's a, it's a cheating comedy or as they, a cheating rom-com or as they say in France, a rom-com. A rom-com. But a bunch. They, but they're, they're very popular. um This guy, Gad Elmalat is a superstar in France. oh yeah He is, he's a standup comedian. He's the biggest, he's probably the biggest standup comedian in France. I mean, what do I know? But, He's very popular. He's popular enough that I've heard of him. Yeah. But he's he's made a couple of English movies. He's definitely tried to break through to America, and it didn't work out for him, just like a lot of like um yeah ah foreign superstars have have tried. There's that Mexican guy who's ah so popular. he tried He made like three or four American movies, and none of them did well, because comedies don't do well in America, no matter yeah you are. Yeah.
00:13:35
Speaker
Yeah. um you what talking about? No, actually I don't. I know. i mean I'm wondering, my brain is sort of like on this rabbit hole of, I'm wondering if the our main guy, Jean, is the, um I listened to a Netflix, or Netflix. I listened to an NPR special about a French comedian who's huge in France. And then he tried to come over and do his standup in the US and it just flopped.
00:14:05
Speaker
And it's like disgusting. Well, mean, humor is so different in different countries. Like, it's one of the least translatable um genres. Yeah. um a Eugenio Derbez is the actor I'm thinking of, the Mexican actor who has, like, he has done some
Setting and Plot of 'Priceless'
00:14:21
Speaker
successful movies. He was in the Angry Birds movie, too, which, I mean, that was huge hit for some reason. what' it he Was it? He was in CODA, which, you know, won the Academy Award for Best Picture despite no one seeing it.
00:14:32
Speaker
I did not see CODA. And then I watched it and I was like, oh, I should watch it. And then I never watched it. i hear it. I'm sure it's good. I hear it's good. I hear it's good. Yeah. No one's seen it.
00:14:43
Speaker
Nope. hey Even though it's on Apple TV and you can watch it anytime you want if you have Apple TV. Mm hmm. Still haven't seen it. Nope, not yeah So... So, Paisel. So Gad Elmala, and again, I'm not 100% sure on the pronunciation of that. He is Moroccan ah French, and so there's a little bit of, I'm not sure if it's 100% a French name or or whatever. I'm not 100% sure I'm pronouncing that correctly, but um he is playing a waiter or yeah
00:15:15
Speaker
you know, ourten or a guy who works at this hotel. Yeah. Yeah. I think i' in odd jobs. Yeah. I think that he looks a bit like, this is going to sound stupid. I think he looks like Tom Cavanaugh.
00:15:31
Speaker
In what just way? The exact same character actor that I used to describe the actor from um people we meet on vacation. Not everybody looks like Tom Cavanaugh. I feel like they both kind of look like Tom Cavanaugh. Like...
00:15:46
Speaker
I don't know. There's just something about it's their eyes and their head. More like Tom Cavanaugh than the guy from people we meet on vacation. Yeah, I think I agree. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah I think he looks like shout out to Tom Cavanaugh. Come on the show. Tom Cavanaugh. Come on the show. We'll we'll have you. We'll do one of your movies. I'm sure you've done a rom-com. You've done, you know, he's done some Hallmark movies, I think. Yeah, you've done. Oh, you will have you on for Christmas.
00:16:13
Speaker
Yeah. There you go. So we start in Bialyce, which is in Basque country. Do you know about Basque country? i know what a Basque waist is.
00:16:25
Speaker
Okay. Well, yes. A basque waist is a um very popular waistline in bridal gowns. It is where it does it goes down at a point versus like across your natural waist. It's sort of is almost like a drop waist. It was very popular in the 80s and the 90s. It's making it come back and it really elongates the torso. um So it'll snap you. That's not what I need.
00:16:47
Speaker
yes I don't need my torso elongated. Well, then you don't need a basque waist. Well, if I ever get married, well, you'll be the first person I come to, Emma. There we go. There we go. the I'm not going to though because I'm going to be alone for the rest of my life. No, you're not. um You're going to marry Tom Cavanaugh. It's going to happen like a rom-com. He's like 65 years old It's going to happen like a rom-com. I think that he's married. Listen, no offense to Tom Cavanaugh. I think that you're an attractive man, but you're too old for me and I'm pretty sure you're married.
00:17:20
Speaker
he's going to come on the podcast as a guest and be like, oh my God, he's going to look at you in the eyes and you guys are going to instantly fall in love. And then he's going to be like, Katie, will you be, will you be my Katie? Will you be my wife? I was going to say my mistress. I was watching Bridgerton.
00:17:34
Speaker
I don't know. Jesus Christ. Anyways, way more talk about Tom Cavanaugh than I expected to be on here. I know, right? Who knew? i Yeah. NBC release Ed on DVD.
00:17:46
Speaker
um So yes, Bialyce is a famous like ah coastal French city. It's right on the edge of France and Spain. It's in Basque country. So Basque country covers parts of France and Spain. ah The Basques are a a people. It might just be the Basque. I'm not 100% sure.
00:18:06
Speaker
ah It's B-A-S-Q-U-E for those of you who are inclined. um It is a, it's an ethnic group. It is a people, um one of the first people to settle in Europe. They, they have their own language, which is completely unrelated to Spanish and French and every other language. It's like Finnish. It's one of those things that like, it had it's unrelated to all other languages. um It's its own thing. And, um, it's, they, uh, they are in that, um, that one, i mean, there, there is a diaspora of course, but that is primarily that little area, um, right there on the border on the Pyrenees, on the border of, uh, of France and Spain on the coast, um, where most of the Basque people live. Yeah.
00:18:46
Speaker
Well, how about that? The more, you know, uh, Bielitz is a, um, is a very famous, like ritzy town, uh, on the, on the coast. Uh,
00:18:57
Speaker
Yes. um This takes place in all the fanciest places in France. It does. Yeah. I mean, all along the south. of It's the the Riviera. But I believe Bialyts is on the Atlantic Ocean and not the Mediterranean Sea. But I could be wrong about that.
00:19:13
Speaker
It is. It is on the Atlantic Ocean, yes. It doesn't matter. It's the place. That is where, I'm sorry, it's the context, you know, is important. You gotta know. You gotta know. We gotta know where it's set. I know how much care about where the movie is set. And I tell you, they don't tell you for a while in this movie where it's set. Yeah, I just assumed that we were on the Riviera the entire time. And then at one point we were in Monte Carlo and I was like, I mean, that's the Riviera, right? I don't know if they are in Monte Carlo because it says the Hotel Monte Carlo, but they're also the hotel in Biarritz. It's called the Hotel Paris. Oh yeah, I got confused. I was like, wait, when did we get to Paris? So the hotel might have just been called the Hotel Monte Carlo because I'm pretty sure we're still in Nice, but I could be wrong because I don't think they go anywhere. I think there's just two locations, right?
00:20:02
Speaker
I missed them moving from Nice to Monte Carlo if they do go to Monte Carlo. So I'm not sure. It's in a different language. It was hard to follow. Yeah. I mean, that's the thing. It's subtitled movies. Like, I look down to take a note and then I look up and I may have missed something. yeah So. you don't go on your phone with a subtitle movie.
00:20:20
Speaker
I have to take notes. No, I know. I went on my phone a few times and I was like, ah, fuck. Yeah. um Anyway, so Audrey Tateau, this is 2006. This is five years after Amelie. She is 30 years old in this movie. And God is, God? is it Gad? but Probably Gad. It's Gad. Gad.
00:20:41
Speaker
Is 35 this movie. And their names are Jean and Irin. Irin, which is John and Irene. Yeah, we we can call them John and Irene if you'd prefer. but John and Irene.
00:20:57
Speaker
um And he is walking dogs for rich old ladies for tips at the beginning of this movie. And she has an old drunk boyfriend. Yep. Beyonce.
00:21:07
Speaker
ah Well, not yet. He doesn't propose yet. Oh, sorry. Yeah. um And it's her birthday. And she goes to the bar where for some reason it's completely empty. ah yeah He is there and there's this old rich guy who tells him to smoke this 120 euro cigar with him.
00:21:26
Speaker
Yep. He wants him down and watch some sort of French sports with him and smoke a fancy cigar and drink some fancy whiskey. the And poor Jean ah is just so tired because he's working like 18,000 side hustles. And because he just wants money.
00:21:42
Speaker
And, ah you know, this is about two people that love money. Capitalism, baby. yeah This is about two people that love money that fall in love. and And maybe they don't care as much about money at the end as they do at the beginning. I like to think. But again, I'm a communist, so...
00:21:55
Speaker
I had a whole thought about the ending. It was very, I was very confused as to what was going to happen next. Um, but, but I digress. We'll get there when do we get there. Um, yeah so he's like sitting down watching this TV and then the old guy goes, like leaves him, not ghost him, but just like leaves and, and he falls asleep because he's been exhausted and he was falling asleep at the bar and he's supposed to stay up until all the guests have like gone to bed and um this old guy will go to bed and then so he falls asleep with a cigar in his hand watching this euro football and she comes in and she goes where where are all the people what what is up with this bar so dead and oh my god he's wearing a tuxedo
00:22:39
Speaker
yeah which i don't know about france but to me if i see a man in a tuxedo my first thought is waiter like in a fancy hotel like if you see somebody wearing a tuxedo i would think waiter before i thought rich guy which is exactly why i was just like oh she automatically clocks that he's staff yeah but a waiter wouldn't have uh wouldn't have like brandy or or whiskey or whatever he's drinking and a cigar i guess so whatever fair enough um and maybe more people will wear tuxedos in france ah Very likely. I mean, I've never been to any of these fancy places. They wouldn't let me in. um
00:23:16
Speaker
She thinks he's rich and he lets her think it. He starts lying to her immediately. um She tells him it's her birthday and she's like, I want a cocktail with a bartender's not here. And he's like, well, I can make you a cocktail. Yeah. um So they make champagne cocktails, which is the name of the drink. It's called champagne cocktail.
00:23:33
Speaker
which is usually cherry juice and champagne. But i just oh I was like, how did you know what cocktail it was? um Yeah, it's just called champagne cocktail. Yeah. Oh, well, it looked delicious.
00:23:44
Speaker
um She's wearing a curtain, we should say. yeah um Throughout this entire movie, it's a it's a variety of different fancy Chanel curtains. Yes, it's. But the first one she's wearing, it's like the, the you know, the the rope tie thing. yeah It looks exactly like that satin. like braided rope around her neck and then just a curtain barely covering her her front. It's completely backless. Yeah. And it's because it's Audrey Toto that she pulls it off.
00:24:10
Speaker
Yes. She's very, very skinny. ah She's very teeny tiny and she's very charming and she's very cute. Yes, she is. that Well, she's less... shit She's less charming and cute in this than Amelie for certain. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. She's not trying to scam that many people with Amelie. She's kind of a bitch. um They both are. yeah ah that They both suck. They kind of both suck.
00:24:34
Speaker
Yeah. They get drunk on champagne and make out in the elevator. He takes her to the Imperial Suite, which he has the keys to because he works at the hotel. Yeah. um And ah then they they have sex and he wakes up and she's gone.
00:24:50
Speaker
yep And then we get a one year later. But in French. Un... Annivers... No. Un... Un... Un... Year. Uh-huh.
00:25:04
Speaker
Whatever that is.
00:25:08
Speaker
Un... Year later. Un is year. Yeah. Un... It would be... Sorry. Un... Un...
00:25:17
Speaker
olita yeah Probably. I don't know. Again, my French is not great. Yeah. I like to think that I know more French than I actually do. And so when I'm watching this, because like when I watched this and then whenever I was really addicted to Call My Agent, um the French comedy show about an agency in France. They're remaking it for America. Oh, yeah. They remade it for the UK, too. um The original is great.
00:25:44
Speaker
ah Was Gad El Mala on it? I want to say yes. But it seems like something he probably would have done. They had a lot of French, like famous French actors on there. was a big show. Like, I mean, it it was on, I mean, it was on Netflix in America. So it got to be a certain size for sure. Yeah, exactly. Um, but, uh, yeah, so I like to pretend that I know more. And so like, I'll like look up from the subtitles and then I'll be like, yeah. Oh, yeah. Uh, yeah.
00:26:18
Speaker
ah bonjou ah They talk too fast is the problem. And they have lots of accents and they have lots of ah slang and stuff. So it's it's it's pretty difficult to follow someone actually speaking. yeah Yeah. When they get past level one of Duolingo, that's when I'm lost.
00:26:39
Speaker
Sure, sure, sure, sure. Yeah.
00:26:43
Speaker
I should work on my French, you know? I mean, I might have to flee the country, and and I think France would be a good a good place to go. so Yeah, I think France would be a great place to go. Anywhere but here. I'm so sorry.
00:26:56
Speaker
um Hey, things are bad in America, y'all. If you're listening to this in the future, i hope we're still alive. um Things aren't great. Too dark? Too dark, Emma?
00:27:07
Speaker
For a French comedy? Never! um So it's a year later, he sees her again, and he immediately like abandons his like waiter duties to pretend. He abandons his job, and everyone's like, John, what are you doing? And like the guy who he was serving was like, sir, can I get another, sir? Well, first of all, he snaps at him, and in which case I would also ignore him. like you don't Don't snap it at waiters. I mean, I know it's a different country, but like maybe they don't have that stigma there, but yeah, you snap at me, I'm not responding to you. I'm sorry. Yeah.
00:27:39
Speaker
um she's I wrote she's with um a different old man or maybe the same one. I can't tell. I think it is the same man. it's it's I think it's the same man. Yeah. It is the same man. yeah Because their conversation where they fight. Yeah.
00:27:52
Speaker
Yes. He proposes to her. She says yes. And then she immediately runs ah to fuck John as soon as she sees him. Yep. um And she sleeps in when they have sex this time and she gets back and Jacques has, he says, older people wake up early, you know, and I'm like, oh. Oh.
00:28:11
Speaker
and He's cut up her credit card and he's cut her off and now yeah she's screwed. and And then he does this really weird thing when he breaks up with her to take the ring back. He like, he like deep throats her finger and you're like, oh, is he being romantic? Like what's happening? ah For a second, I thought he, I thought he was going to take the ring off with his mouth for a second and then he didn't. yeah um But like, he does it very sensually and I'm like, what?
00:28:36
Speaker
Okay. Just, I think it's effective because I also thought he was going to take the ring off with his mouth, but then he didn't and then pulled it off her finger. It's very cruel. Yeah. Yeah. yeah and Not a good guy. sounded like it hurt.
00:28:48
Speaker
Yeah. No, Jacques sucks. Yeah. He was just lubing up her finger with his mouth. Yeah. So also he makes up, that he's making up the bed. I'm like, so they fucked in that bed and he's not washing the sheets for the next guest. Yeah, we should exactly. Which is an American family of five. it is, yeah. I mean, they could be English, actually. We don't hear them say anything, do we?
00:29:09
Speaker
That's true. We don't. It is an English or an American family of five. We just know that they speak English because the guy who's giving them the tour is speaking English to them.
00:29:20
Speaker
And he's saying the exact same words that that ah Jean said to her when he gave her the tour of the of the room. So it's a little clue for her. um And yeah, so they they get... um ah So she comes in there and she's like, let's spend the whole day together. But then, of course, they're giving the room away and she discovers that he's um that he's a waiter. And she's like, oh fuck off. And then she leaves him because yeah she didn't want to fuck a waiter. She thought he was rich. She only cares about yeah money. Also, in it she was naked in front of an entire family of five.
00:29:53
Speaker
Well, it's France. They that's really like I don't care about that.
00:30:00
Speaker
Especially if you look like that, you know, like. He only cares about the fact that he's not rich. Yeah. Yeah. um ah They ah there's this whole thing where they um where she's describing ah the ah knife at the um yeah at the restaurant. And I kept writing in my notes. Sharks don't have bones.
00:30:24
Speaker
No, but it's made of shark bone and it takes years to cure. It doesn't matter. There's sharks don't, sharks famously, one of our animals with no bones. Sharks are made entirely of cartilage, which decomposes.
00:30:39
Speaker
I'm sorry. Well, maybe it was originally whale bone. And then the um producers were like, we can't have whale bone. We can't. that's It's possible. Yeah. Say shark.
00:30:49
Speaker
Say shark. Yeah. Don't look into it. It's 2006. There's no Google. Don't look into it. Yeah. Yes. um ah Yeah, and i wrote that this happens earlier than I expected. Like, this is still, like, in the first 30 minutes of this movie, she finds out that she's not rich and storms out. Oh, yeah. And we cut to Nice, which is a long way away from Bialyte's. She takes the train.
00:31:14
Speaker
I wanted to give you some um some context for this, Emma, because I know you're from Texas. ah go on From Beale to Nice is about the same. it's so it's It's a little bit further. France and Texas are about the same size. um it's It's almost like going from Houston to El Paso.
00:31:33
Speaker
That is how far it is. That's a far, definitely. It's about as far away as you can get from each other as two cities in France.
Themes of Deception and Empowerment in 'Priceless'
00:31:40
Speaker
I mean, going north would maybe be a little bit further, but it's all the way. So it's on the, Biarritz is on the Atlantic Ocean all the way to the east, and Nice is all the way to the west. And um yeah on the border with um Italy. yeah That's one whole day of driving.
00:31:56
Speaker
ah yeah Yeah, it would be like nine hours at least, something like that. And longer on the train. Yeah, and she takes the train. Well, they do have the TGV in France. They have, like, the bullet trains in France. yeah. So maybe it wasn't that yeah, yeah.
00:32:12
Speaker
Yeah, I wish the U.S. had bullet trains. Well, we're not gonna. We're not gonna have anything nice. Nope, we can't have anything nice. This is why we can't have nice things. This is why we can't have nice things.
00:32:23
Speaker
For those of you listening in the future, today is the day that um Donald Trump bombed Iran um yeah for the first time, we should probably say. Yeah. Yeah. And ah the state of Kansas took away driver's licenses for trans people.
00:32:40
Speaker
Oh, did they? i didn't even know that. how I thought that's why you were really upset. And I was like, that that is very valid. Wait, what happened? I'm sorry. um Take on me started of playing in my...
00:32:54
Speaker
Who was it? Kansas took away driver's license from trans people? Is that what you said? yeah. oh yeah sorry it's so inappropriate for me to be laughing right now but it's just like oh I'm so sorry I can't hear you take on me it happens all the time it happens all the time Um, ah yeah, so he somehow followed her to niece.
00:33:13
Speaker
Um, no, he found out he he from the people he at the hotel. He was like, they said that you got train tickets to niece. So I just sort of came here and I've been at every single bar like just. He's stalking her. Yeah, he's stalking her and she's just trying to land her next big ticket old dude. But they're all dead or married. immediately completely obsessed with her. She's been sitting outside because she doesn't have any money um trying to to find – like she didn't put anything away. Like here's the thing. You got to put some stuff away. You got to make yourself a little egg, you know? That's the thing. Irene isn't that smart.
00:33:50
Speaker
Neither of them are. Yeah. She keeps making dumb choices. And I'm like, Irene, girl. Like, at the end, I'm like, what are you guys going to do? What are you two going to do? Neither of you guys. I mean, he likes to work, but like.
00:34:03
Speaker
You don't like working and you have a very, very rich lifestyle and you refuse to, you know, compromise on that. So it's like what it's bad. you can do They're going to become con people. That's that's what I think the sequel is, is that I'm con people. I mean, they're already kind of con people. Yeah.
00:34:20
Speaker
But they just they become worse con people. Yeah. Because they're in a couple. He. He asks her to dinner and she's like, fuck off. um I need a rich guy. And so she finds a guy that she used to date. His grandson is there.
00:34:37
Speaker
But Jean freaks him out because he's stalking them. yeah And he's staring at them from across the way. he stares at them entire time. And the guy's like, I'm getting a lot of weird vibes from this dude. She's like, just ignore it. And he's like, I don't think I'm going to ignore it. I feel very uncomfortable. Anyways, um so here's here's money for dinner. Okay, see you later. Bye.
00:35:00
Speaker
um And she's like, fine, you can take me to dinner. And she takes him to a very expensive restaurant that he can't afford. yeah He's like calling his bank, getting all of his money moved around to his accounts because he can't afford any of the shit that she's doing. Yep. she um But she's she like, okay, we'll come back to this hotel and and you know you can pay for the room here. Yeah.
00:35:22
Speaker
Gives him the credit card. And the guy like just by looking at the credit card knows this guy can't afford this hotel. Exactly. Which I thought was a good, a nice little moment. Yeah. Because I'm assuming that like instead of like an Amex black card, he gives him his debit card. And it's like, bro.
00:35:40
Speaker
Yeah. Bro. Rich people know how to make money make money. Yeah, I wrote that she just seems like a bitch more than anything. um she took She takes his card and goes and buys a bunch of like designer clothes. Right. yeah And then he he's just seeing her rip off all the tags and like seeing all it all like add up like all of the amounts of money. of all of her new clothes but like and then she demands more clothes and she he's like what would you like to do today and she goes he was like do you want to go on a walk she was like no i want a handbag so then they go get a handbag and they have a nice little glass of champagne and get day drunk and then he's like do you want an ice cream now like what do what do you want to do and she's like no i want a dress i well she's intentionally fucking with him at this point like she's doing it yeah
00:36:28
Speaker
There's because there is a level of her. Exactly. There's a level of her like recognizing what she's doing and seeing how far she can push him and seeing how far she can sort of like poke this bear and he won't back down. They're both playing like money chicken. ah And until it ultimately blows up in his face.
00:36:47
Speaker
She got him a train ticket back to Biarritz, and she's like, here, here's your train ticket. I got you a first-class train ticket back, you know, with your money. He's like, oh, yeah thanks. yeah Because she knows he's out of money, and he has a one-euro coin, and he's like, another 10 seconds. And she's like, okay. And then he just spends 10 seconds staring at her, which is creepy.
00:37:06
Speaker
um ah Or Fred? Yeah, he goes back to the hotel and they're like, we're calling the police because you can't afford any of this. You can't pay it. And we meet Madeline, which is um this older woman. And she she she met him earlier in the elevator.
00:37:23
Speaker
And she's like, you can stay with me. And now he's got a sugar mama. This is like, this is the sugar baby story, really. Yeah. This is sugar baby origin story. And so like, she's, she was so impressed with how he like picked up her bags earlier because, um, he was like walking to the elevator and he just overheard the bar, the hotel manager say, um, take miss Madeline's bags to her room, please. And he just ah automatically, the hotel employee in him just grabbed the bags and started walking to the elevator. And then he was like, oh no, sorry. I, I have, I have bags like that. Don't worry about me. Um, and so, but she was very, very taken with him and then they bang and, uh, he bangs this old lady. Yeah. Yep.
00:38:09
Speaker
And he, I mean, to be fair, she's a very beautiful lady. She is. Yeah. But also he doesn't care about her. No, he, he does not care. Um, and he's fucking her for money. yeah Yeah, exactly. And then she takes him to go get shirts. Yeah.
00:38:23
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. She gets him some, she takes him to Bonobos and gets him some short nice shirts. um it's It's not Bonobos. Bonobos? Like the shoe company? make shirts. They make men's clothes of all kinds.
00:38:39
Speaker
Bonobos? No, she probably takes him to like, i don't know, what's a, met like a Jean Varvatos? I don't know what they have. They probably don't have that in France. Louis Vuitton. Something.
00:38:51
Speaker
Does Louis Vuitton make men's clothes? Do they make clothes at all? Yeah. I don't know. Louis Vuitton makes clothes. Okay. Yeah. I believe you. I'm looking at Bonobo's shirts.
00:39:04
Speaker
Um, no, yeah. Bonobo's shirts is way too cheap for where she's going. Yeah, yeah, yeah. they It's some boutique where they have men and women's clothes. because Yes, that's right. Yes, yeah And they have weird changing rooms where there's curtains to the person next to you that you can just open.
00:39:19
Speaker
It's France, man. Like, it's like so many responds so many like answers to the questions in this movie are like, it's france yeah c'est france uh we will uh and so like he they like are having a conversation while like he's trying on shirts and she's trying on dresses and he does the like um 10 seconds thing again with her and stares at her she she does it oh she does it oh sorry yeah she does it gives him back the one euro coin yeah
00:39:54
Speaker
Yeah. Because she wants him to zip her up. She goes, here, 10 seconds. And she gives it to him. And then she turns around and and he zips her up. Yeah. Yeah. Because, again, she's antagonizing him. Because she knows that she can.
00:40:04
Speaker
Well, and I think that she started to. she's She knows what he's doing. And she's kind of impressed. um And she's hooked up with Gilles, who is another old man. Yeah. um ah Giles, if you're nasty. Giles, if you're nasty.
00:40:22
Speaker
uh yeah yeah yeah um and then she's like okay let's see your haul like look at all the stuff that jeal bought me let's what did you get he's like i got some shirts and she's like what do you mean you got some shirts like right you need to get on this bitch you need to like milk her for this shit like it doesn't last forever you need stuff get your bag. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And he's just like, what? Okay. And then he, um, he gets into a fight with Madeline. She buys him tiny weights first, which is so funny. She's like, I got you a gift. And he goes, oh, it's so heavy. What is it? Is it, uh, you know, is uh, is it pants? Is it a belt? Or what is it? Shoes? And he opens it and they're, they're hand weights. And I'm like, they're like,
00:41:08
Speaker
And they're like two kilograms also. They're yeah like very light. ah Little tiny weights. I guess she wants him to like, she wants him to work out. um yeah Like later she takes him to a plastic surgeon and it gets his ear pin down.
00:41:21
Speaker
Without his consent. Crazy. Crazy. It's France. um ah And so, you know, Yuen is trying to like help him be a better sugar baby. um And she's like, she's like, her ways How to flirt. Like, not finishing your sentences is very attractive. Be like, I want to...
00:41:43
Speaker
I need to... a So there's the uh sound they do in French in between words. Yeah. And he's like, not finishing your sentences is attractive. And she's like, yes not finishing your sentences is attractive. Believe me. And so that's a running gag in this. Yeah. Yeah. um and then so more And it works because he does it. And then Madeline buys him a 30,000 euro watch.
00:42:10
Speaker
A very nice, fancy diamond watch. Yeah, they say the name of it. I didn't recognize it, but it's, you know, it's like Patek Philippe or Rolex or one of those, like, you know, it's it's not really a watch as much as it is just gold and diamonds. And a, like, statement on how loaded you are.
00:42:27
Speaker
Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. um ah And um he then like so then Madeline gets into a fight with him and she's like, listen, don't fuck with me. And he's like, fine, fuck you. And he takes the watch off and he sits it down and she's like and she calls his bluff and she's like, all right, fine.
00:42:43
Speaker
He buys her. She buys him a moped now. does She buys him a moped. she buys him a moped and like a bunch of other shit. It just cuts. It just to wearing this like fancy suit driving the moped with the watch. It's so funny. It's so funny.
00:42:58
Speaker
It's a very charming film. Irene is impressed because he's become a bigger whore than her. I wrote, which, you know, I suppose is a little cruel. um But, you know, listen. I mean, it's turn on for her.
00:43:08
Speaker
We're pro-sex work. um i I guess, you know, everybody in this, like, knows what they're doing, but it's just, oh, it's a little distasteful. You know? In this context, in the movie, it in this movie, it's distasteful. Not in general, like, be a sugar baby, do whatever you want. Banging for stuff.
00:43:25
Speaker
And they're like competing with each other about it. And obviously they care about the other one and they're, they're doing it to like, you know, they're, yeah, they're swinging genitals at each other, you know? Yeah. Yeah. it's Don't kink shame.
00:43:41
Speaker
I'm not. I'm just saying it's in the context of this, it's a little weird and gross. I mean, at the end of the day, they are sort of taking advantage of old people. They definitely are. They definitely, definitely are. um Because she, because also they're cheating on these people. Like, again,
00:43:58
Speaker
If you are in a sugar, if you're in a sugar relationship, like you have to have understandings. Like if you, is this exclusive? Is this like, are we poly about this? Am I allowed to go and fuck Sean on the beach or no? And in this case, they both are in these exclusive sugar, sugar baby relationships, right? Like they both of them are very jealous of them spending time with anybody else. So they are cheating on these people. Yeah. um Which is wrong.
00:44:24
Speaker
Yep. Yep. And just taking advantage of these old people's, the kindness of their hearts. Yeah. Their dicks. The kindness of their dicks and vagina. Vagina. um Metaphorical dicks.
00:44:39
Speaker
Yes. um We should say, so yeah, show they have this plan to meet. They're going to like run off to the beach together. um Yeah. We said they're, oh yeah, they're in Nice. Yeah, I'm not sure. So this is the point where they may have gone to Monte Carlo and they may have not. I'm not sure. I checked. They filmed in Monte Carlo, so they did go to Monte Carlo.
00:44:58
Speaker
Okay, so yeah, but it's very blurry as to when they move from Nice to Monte Carlo. I i definitely missed that.
Cultural References and Personal Anecdotes
00:45:05
Speaker
I sort of took it as to where this is a fictive universe where old people with their sugar babies all fly in the same circles and go to the same hotels at the same time. So they're just constantly each other. think that's true of actually, but I'm not... So I just assume they both went to Monte Carlo at the same time, and that was when he got the moped.
00:45:29
Speaker
That's when I... Nisa's very close to Monte Carlo. um um Well, looking at it here, because Monte Carlo is in, because Monaco is in between um Italy and and France there. um Yeah. Geography.
00:45:44
Speaker
so the the things I care about. Yeah.
00:45:50
Speaker
So, yeah yes. um ah She can't get Gilles to go to sleep. Yeah. He just keeps talking. And he's just become a chatterbox. Yeah. He's like, do you have any brothers and sisters? And she's like, oh, for fuck's sake.
00:46:03
Speaker
Yeah. Just with us in life. And so finally she fucks him and he falls asleep and they go to their, their beach rendezvous. Which is so cute because they like had both prepped for it. Like she was like taking a shower. She like had the shower running while she was like prepping a little picnic in her bag. And like he's i like each other. It's very cute. And they have this really lovely little date on the beach.
00:46:27
Speaker
And they talk to each other. Presumably they talk about things other than the other people that they're fucking, but we don't see much of that. I'm guessing it blurs over it. Yeah, exactly. then they call us the It's not a deep ah connection between the two of them, at least that we see in this film. Yeah.
00:46:44
Speaker
I um it's France. It is, again, yeah, c'est France. C'est France. She tells him that they're leaving for Venice the next morning, and she's like, okay, goodbye, then we're going to go to the Maldives, which is where she wanted him to take her back when she thought he was rich.
00:47:00
Speaker
Yeah. um can we Can we take a second, though, to acknowledge the fact that 2006. There are cell phones. There are. They have them. She still brings a full-on alarm clock to the beach with a timer, with like an alarm on it. guess. An alarm clock.
00:47:21
Speaker
It was very strange. Did old phones have like alarm clocks on They probably yeah sure they did, right? Yes. But like, why would you bring a whole fucking alarm clock? you um remember that, Emma? Why would you pick up a low live clock?
00:47:35
Speaker
It was very weird to me. I was like, i was like oh. Maybe, I mean, well hold on. Cell phone batteries die though, you know? like that's true. They didn't last that long. But like a whole alarm, not even just a watch.
00:47:48
Speaker
It's like, I don't know. Yeah, that's true. Well, I mean, i don't think his fancy 30,000 euro watch had an alarm clock on it. it Well, it was a big a big digital alarm clock. I was like, I feel like there's a better way for you to do that. Gotta high way there's got to be a better way. way.
00:48:05
Speaker
um So they, yeah. yeah Oh, and they talk about Pentateuch. Do you know Pentateuch? The The bread in that dessert bread in Italy. Yeah. Have you had it? ah Yeah. I live in a very heavily Italian American section of Connecticut. There's an Italian and restaurant every two feet. There's so many Italians in Connecticut. I don't know. Wow. are Wow. I don't know. Wow. I don't know how or why.
00:48:39
Speaker
But there's so many Italians. Sure. He says as one 32nd Italian American. one thirty second italian american Are you only one? I assumed that you were like mostly Italian. Your last name is Palizza.
00:48:52
Speaker
You would assume that, wouldn't you? Charlie likes to tell me all the time that I can't take any pride in any of my ethnicities, such as Italian or Irish. So I can't be like, yeah, it's too small. Apparently it's I'm just so much just crap. And he's just like, not Irish than are. I wouldn't put it that I wouldn't put it as crap. I don't think you're crap, Emma.
00:49:20
Speaker
Thanks. I'm largely French-Canadian, weirdly. Ah, okay. Weirdly enough. I'm largely Irish. ah I'm also Italian, Irish, German...
00:49:34
Speaker
But the last name is, but Polizia is Italian, right? Yeah, that's Italian. That's from my great-great-grandfather who moved from Italy to Quebec because America said no more Italians. And so he was like, well, I guess I'll go to fucking Canada. So he went to Canada, and then his son was like, well, this sucks.
00:49:58
Speaker
I'm going to go. I don't know. I'm going to go to Rhode Island. Fuck Canada, your grandfather said. Listen, I love Canada. no, no. Sorry, my great-great-grandfather. My great-grandfather. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Wow. I know. Yeah. it's But the whole thing, it's just a very weird – it's one of the reasons I refuse to change my last name or take Charlie's last name is that my – it is a weird, serendipitous circumstance that this last name has made it this far into my lineage –
00:50:31
Speaker
With so little Italian left. Yeah, i get that. I mean, no offense to Charles, but Emma Blunt just doesn't have the same yeah like ah ring to it as Emma Palizzo.
00:50:44
Speaker
Yeah, doesn't have the joie de vivre. Doesn't have that je ne sais quoi that Emma Palizzo has. Right. Emma Palizzo, she's a movie star. Emma Blunt is someone's fourth grade mom. Listen, if anybody listening to this is named Emma Blunt, I'm so sorry. so sorry.
00:51:00
Speaker
But unless you're trying to be an actor, like, it's a perfectly good name. Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's a great name. It's a great name. yeah ah But yeah. ah Oh, yeah. Panettone.
00:51:12
Speaker
Panettone. See, I'm not Italian. I can pronounce it. Love Panettone. Yeah, I'm sorry. I think I said Panettone. Panettone. Panettone. They have it everywhere. It's like a sweet a bread or that has... um a If you're gross, raisins. And if you're not gross, chocolate inside of it. It's cake bread. Kind baked in. It's very good. Yes. And you always buy it at Christmas to bring to parties and nobody ever eats it.
00:51:39
Speaker
I eat it unless it's got raisins in it. Unless like a terrorist has brought a raisin pentatone to a party.
00:51:50
Speaker
But they bond over pentatone and their mutual love of stuff. Yeah, they do love stuff, which like, same, girl. I also love stuff.
00:52:01
Speaker
When we're off the air, I want to show you ah an absurd purchase I made. I'm too embarrassed to talk about it on the podcast. I'm so excited. You're not going to care about it. um It's a very Katie thing.
00:52:12
Speaker
I love stuff. So he sells the watch ah to pay for... Oh, yeah, so Gilles finds out about everything. She's so bad at cheating on her boyfriend. She's really bad. She keeps getting caught. Yeah.
00:52:24
Speaker
and Um, Gilles leaves her there. She's like shivering at the pool, like all day as like the sun goes down because she can't, she can't go anywhere. Um, she's in her bathing suit. Like they, her clothes were in the room. Then she, Gilles apparently either took them or threw them away.
00:52:38
Speaker
Um, and so suddenly Jean has paid for everything. We find out he tells Madeline, I sold the watch. And he's like, she's like, God, you fucking suck. I thought you were different. And he's like, well,
00:52:51
Speaker
it was so expensive that he was able to not only pay for, ah what's her name? Uh, you're in to stay at the hotel with that money. But he also, he's like, I needed to buy, you I wanted to buy you a present, but I didn't have any money. So I had to sell the watch. And so he bought her diamond earrings and she's like, oh, Jean.
00:53:06
Speaker
Like he's so much better at this than she is really. like Right? He's really just sort of like succeeding hard and she keeps failing. And that's kind of the thing. like Like she like got him into this life and now he's surpassed her. It's a classic third act like situation, right? Yeah.
00:53:23
Speaker
And then he also he also buys Irene a dress as well. Yeah, Chanel dress, right? Yeah, yeah, Chanel dress. It has C's on it. I'm not sure. i wasn't sure if it was Chanel or they were just like, if they were designed or if they were C's. Yeah.
00:53:36
Speaker
I'm pretty sure Chanel had a ah foot in this movie because we see several Chanel shoes early on in the film. And that's very expensive. Like, I mean, maybe it was different in 2006 because some of those price tags are like 260, 260 euros, like euros, like euros. i'm like, yeah, that was her underwear.
00:53:56
Speaker
That seems cheap. Like. Yeah, I mean. um Yeah, oh maybe it was. Yeah, mean she's but she's, well, it's her shirt too. Well, she's not wearing much of her shirt. It doesn't matter. yeah it doesn't matter. So they're at this party ah since she's able to, and she puts the dress on and goes down to the party. And Jean is there with all of Madeline's friends. And um yeah she sees Jacques, the guy from the beginning who who told her, she told him she wouldn't he wouldn't remember her name, but he does remember her name. And then, He's like willing to get back in a relationship with her because, yeah i mean, she's very attractive, I guess.
00:54:30
Speaker
She's very pretty. And like, but he's there with another chick. And so she's like, oh, well, well fuck, I got to fuck this up so that I can get back to Jacques. And so she basically, she corners Jean and she's like, you got to help me seduce this dude.
00:54:47
Speaker
You got to help me. And so they come up with a plan and she basically corners this new chick that Jacques is fucking. Her name is Agnès.
00:54:59
Speaker
anye ah a Agnes. Yeah. Agnes. It sounds so much better in French. Agnes. And she basically, they're having glass of champagne and they're bonding ah but by girls being girls. And she has Jean down smoking a cigarette off like...
00:55:22
Speaker
they're on like ah an overlook, like a balcony outdoor, like balcony veranda thing. yeah He's like down on the bottom bit. And she goes, Oh my God, that's the Prince such and such. And yeah you know, Agnes is like, wait, what? And she goes, he's so filthy rich. He's some Prince and blah, blah, blah, rich, rich, rich, blah, blah, blah. He's single.
00:55:43
Speaker
ah Let's go meet him. And so his wife died in a car accident. She's like, Oh, that's amazing. Yeah. Right? um Because these are two girls of the same color, if that makes sense. Yeah, 100%. They're not a horse of a different color. They are the same.
00:55:59
Speaker
ah Same person, different font. And so they go down and she's just like, she starts, ah Irene starts talking to Jean and um then Agnes is like, well, this is my moment. And she like sort of jets in and takes over and starts like really hitting it off and so basically has abandoned Jacques and so Irene is like okay you got this one I'm gonna go back to Jacques so she goes back to Jacques while Jean is seducing Agnes and takes her up to his room which is well Madeline finds them first oh yeah Madeline is like what are you doing you're supposed to bring champagne to me and my friends and you've been gone for like 20 minutes bless you god damn it
00:56:48
Speaker
you were supposed to bring champagne to me and my friends and you've been gone for like 20 minutes. And he's like, listen, I need to do this favor for somebody you, you have to understand. And she's like, no, fuck you. What are you talking about? And he's like, okay, fine. Then I'll leave the scooter at the thing. We're done. And then yeah she like tells him off and she throws a drink in his face and he like ye immediately plays it off to Amye. And he's like, oh, that was my ex mother-in-law. And she's, she can't stand to see me with another woman. Like he's gotten really good at this. Yeah, he's gotten really good.
00:57:16
Speaker
um So much so that he's like, you actually, no, you keep the scooter. You'll need it. Yeah, it's important, but he keeps the scooter, yeah. Yeah. um And so he is seducing Agnes, and um Irene has gone back to Jacques, and she's like chatting with him, and he's like trying to really like hit it off, but she keeps getting distracted because...
00:57:42
Speaker
coincidentally, veranda that they're sitting on and during the party looks directly over the hotel to the room that Jean is staying in. And so she can see him taking Agnes back to his room and then them like getting a drink and turning off the lights and closing the curtains. And she starts to get jealous and she's like yeah not paying attention to the conversation, like what she's supposed to be doing with Jacques. And so she's like, I'm so sorry, I gotta go.
00:58:10
Speaker
and so she basically gives herself the go get your girl speech um mentally yeah don't yeah not out loud but um no i wrote oh irene's jealous now all caps tiresome tiresome i was over it um but like i guess like by jean and agnes fucking that's the go get your girl speech um Yeah, and then so and then she, like, runs across the hotel, like, kicks her shoes off, and, like, she's wearing this dress that's, like, I assume he also bought her boob tape with that dress. like it Oh, yeah. He must have. like it I was so worried the entire time she was running as well. I was like, those have to be taped.
00:58:51
Speaker
They would just be clacking together like those, like, you know, like that thing with the balls. She was running with real, like, de vivre. I mean, she doesn't have, like, the biggest – I would say she's in the medium boobs club with you and me. Like, they're not, like – Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, like, that dress is so, like, billowy that – Oh, yeah. They're super glued in there for sure. Like, she is – she's booking it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:59:15
Speaker
And she runs to his room and ah and she interrupts them banging and ah he comes to the door and she's just like, ah Hey, Agnes, I'm so sorry. I lied to you. He is not a prince. Yeah. No, no, no. He is not a prince.
00:59:34
Speaker
And then Agnes is like, what? You're not rich? And he goes, no, no, I'm not rich. And she's just like, well, fuck. And so she walks off in blanket. like, not again. She's like, this happens all the time.
00:59:45
Speaker
All the time. God damn it. France. And then- This is, this is I mean, this is not for France anymore. if They're Monte Carlo. Like- Oh, sorry. Monte Carlo. Well, it's still French. It's a French film.
00:59:58
Speaker
It is. I know. I know. I'm just. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's French culture. um And so she leaves. and The whole situation is very French. It's. play Listen, i I, know for a fact that we have listeners in France and it is all from love. I love France. I've, yeah I've been, I've been to France only a couple of times. um But I, I, I, all the love in my heart yeah Please don't don't take this the wrong way. like Please feel free to make fun of Americans for being horrible people. We will also accept our stereotypes.
01:00:34
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Like eating cheeseburgers. I don't eat cheeseburgers. I'm a vegetarian, but then I'm sure I do something terribly tacky and American. Yeah. I'm wearing sweatpants right now.
01:00:46
Speaker
i think they wear sweatpants in France. i think I think they wear a lot sweatpants in France, actually. I think, like, joggers are very big in France. Oh, joggers. Well, I, yeah, America sucks.
01:01:00
Speaker
Listen, be the fras all countries, like, people are good and governments are bad. And, you know, France has had some bad governments. America's had some bad governments, especially right now. But, you know, you can't blame that. all You can't blame that on the people. Like, you know, what so what you what you see from it, like, French stereotypes of, like, over-sexed people cheating on each other and running around in rich hotels. Yeah.
01:01:27
Speaker
You're just going off of what Audrey Tantot shows us. Yeah, it's certainly like, you know, a more attractive stereotype than, you know, rednecks firing their guns in the air. Yeah, like Sweet Home Alabama. Yeah.
01:01:41
Speaker
Oh, I just realized that we went from Sweet Home Alabama to this. We sure did. Yeah, what ah what a ah a twist. um But yeah, and then they they kiss and, you know, they basically are like, well, I guess it's Well, he does the, I want to, I'd like to,

Speaker
Oh, yeah. Kiss you. And then they make out. And then they make out. And they run out on the hotel bill. Yep. they moped off together. then they get to the toll booth and they don't have any money. And then he pulls out the one euro coin that she gave him in the dressing room. Yeah. They drop it in the toll booth and drive off. And I'm like, okay.
