caring for the cheese.

You see

It's losing moisture.

Needs a breather.

And this Gouda has mold.

Do you have to throw that whole thing out?

00:34:22Cheese is just mold.

00:43:18GASTON: [speaking french]

00:43:19ELLA: Oh, it's so pretty.

00:43:21GASTON: I love fireworks.

00:43:22ELLA: Oh.

00:43:29GASTON: You know, Ella,

he loves me a lot.

And this was right after telling me

00:44:21that he's never told anybody

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1057

1058

1059

Honeydon't feel the same way.

00:44:36Ella, you don't

I sold that condo

00:46:13and I don't need

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1104

open up a wine

and cheese bartastings, and events,

00:46:23and workshops.

00:46:24Well, you seem to have

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1111

with a smile and by name.

But all you'll sell is cheddar.

Absolutely.

It's versatile and subtle, yet satisfying.

00:46:40Yet you eat it on a

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1119

1120

1121

1122

1123

1124

1125

1126

a Camembert for that man.

That man?

You mean Hugo who's been coming here a year and a half?

00:47:16Hugo whose wedding you catered?

00:47:18Ella, I pay you to

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1138

877

1140

596

[chuckles] I have to go

82

1144

1145

1146

1147

to take a short break.

Hugo.

What are you doing here?

I have a [speaking french] for you.

00:48:13[gasps] Nothing in a

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1157

1158

347

talk with you about what

you said on Bastille Day.

OK.

What did I say?

Je t'aime bien.

Yes

I appreciate that.

I know what a big deal it is for you to say that.

00:48:49I'm not sure that I

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1173

877

might not be enough.

Why wouldn't it be?

I'll text you later.

Au revoir.

Is there any inventory or anything I can do?

00:49:28Actually, I thought

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1181

1182

404

1184

kitchen is on the left.

ELLA: What is this?

Is this like a little mini guillotine.

00:49:52Are we going to re-enact the

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1189

1190

making Camembert.

[squeals]

And why we're making Camembert?

Because it's a quicker cheese.

It takes only four to six weeks to ripen so it should

00:50:07be ready before you leave.

00:50:08Oh, don't remind me.

00:50:09[sighs] Thank you, though.

00:50:11I'm really excited.

00:50:13I've always wanted to

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1202

1203

a culture

Gosh

You taught yourself how to make cheese.

00:50:27I was just, you know,

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1210

1211

decade to my [speaking french]

College sweetheart.

Oh

So we were renovating a househad adopted a puppy, you know,

00:50:54the whole thing.

00:50:55And then what happened?

00:50:58She realized that she had

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1219

affair of the heart.

All right

Now we can add the culture.

Oop

Yes.

That's it.

All right.

So while we wait for the rennetI want to show you something.

00:51:27ELLA: OK.

00:51:29[gasps]

00:51:30The landlord has asked

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1234

and cheese tastings.

And then partner with local wineries and host events.

00:51:46And you could do

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1241

blown through my nest egg

by now.

But you would if you could?

[sighs] Definitely.

I feel like there would be so much joy and community here.

00:52:06I wouldn't be saving

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1249

1250

1251

You've got the client base.

It would work.

Yeahworks well and it's contained.

00:52:26Is it contained or

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1264

1265

this place open before I leave.

[sighs] All right.

Partners?

Really?

SERGE: Why not?

Partners.

[chuckles]

[upbeat music]

Thank you so much.

[speaking french]

[chuckles]

Yes

I'm throwing a little party at my friend's penthouse

00:53:31overlooking the [french].

00:53:33So the apartment's all yours.

00:53:37Don't behave yourself.

00:53:38I'll try.

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1302

food of French cuisine.

It's so salty and one note.

I know.

But you knownever had your fondue.

00:55:41That's right.

00:55:45This much cheese is good.

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1310

1311

surprised that you want

more cheese after your what?

Five a day.

I'm just down to one now.

Oh.

So why did you stop with the five?

00:56:02[upbeat music]

00:56:04I was trying to enjoy what

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1322

1323

enjoy and appreciate

what you have in front of you if there's endless options?

00:56:19How could you have

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1328

1329

to live your life?

Just chasing the next cheese?

[chuckles]

I meanchasing the next cheese.

00:56:35It's living a life of

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1340

thinking about paint.

Did you decide if you wanted cloud or eggshell?

00:57:03Oh, and did you see

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1352

here is a fantasy.

And I'm going to go home and have no job, and no savings,

00:57:21and no prospects, and really

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1357

to be doing.

It's just a rude awakening to find out that wherever you go,

00:57:31there you are.

00:57:32You still have a month.

00:57:34So I'd say, don't give up.

00:57:38Jump.

00:57:39[upbeat music]

00:57:41ELLA: Ooh.

00:57:42[grunts]

1377

1378

for the expansion space.

And the grand openingwe going to have a party?

00:58:17I don't like parties.

00:58:18Too many people.

00:58:19Too much attention.

00:58:20Right.

00:58:22Who wants a party if too many

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1392

on the Seine both times

I came to Paris.

I meanfirst up is the Eiffel Tower.

00:58:44Why did you come here?

00:58:46Well, my dad.

00:58:51He passed when I was young.

00:58:53And he used to tell me all these

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1401

list of things he wanted to do.

Wellbelieve in bucket lists.

00:59:07No?

00:59:09Instead, I have a

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1406

I have left is what

I can't live without doing.

OK.

[chuckles] So what is left on your reverse bucket list?

00:59:28I'm still a tough nut.

00:59:31I don't think you are.

00:59:33I think you're just afraid of

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1421

1422

1423

long arms

Yeah.

Ready?

Yeah.

So grouchy.

The grump.

Whee.

Ow.

OK

I'll smile.

Gaston

01:00:20OK, bye.

01:00:24Hello, you're back.

I love who I am here.

And you helped bring that out in me.

01:01:49[speaking french]

01:01:50ELLA: Yes.

01:01:54Oh, I don't want to go home.

01:01:58Maybe you don't want to go home

01:02:00because you're already home.

01:02:03Oh.

01:02:04[chuckles]

01:02:08I thought the French don't hug.

01:02:10They do when you need it.

01:02:17[sighs] The only jobs I'm

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

And if the expansion takes offthen I could recoup my savings.

01:07:14That's a lot of ifs.

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1665

croissants and Camembert

I actually wouldn't be staying here for one of the men.

01:07:46I'd be staying here for me.

We can do this together.

I know I told you I came to Paris to start something new

01:09:49but life here was

1727

1728

something here

Yeah.

Oh

I'm sorry.

I just... I can't quite yet.

Why not?

It's just complicated.

Oh

The cad.

I don't think he's a cad.

But yestold me he loved me.

01:10:26And you believed him.

01:10:31Why wouldn't I believe him?

01:10:32Ella, you're here with me.

01:10:34I know because I feel...

01:10:37No, Ella, sorry.

1746

1747

1748

1749

1750

1751

the right thing because I

know that he's been hurt.

And he just put all his walls up and pushed me out.

01:11:24I see this as

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1756

1757

I think you're going to meet

someone great back home.

Back home?

Momabout is getting me back home?

01:11:38Because I really

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1763

searching for something

that you've lost your thread.

Mama

supportive unless I'm doing things the way

01:11:51you want me to do them.

01:11:52No, I have to tell you this.

01:11:54Don't you want me to be happy?

01:11:56Don't you want me to not have

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1772

make good decisions

and to be able to take care of yourself.

01:12:03Is that not what I'm

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1776

1777

01:12:48Can I have that word

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1797

to break up with me?

I thought we agreed that what was between us wasn't serious.

01:13:06We did.

01:13:07But then you said

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

This whole thing snowballed but I think we can figure it out.

01:14:19There is something

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1831

1832

1833

1834

could I trust being with you?

What do you mean?

Who would I be with when you don't know who you are?

01:14:54[upbeat music]

01:14:59LAURIE: I've done some thinking.

01:15:01I'm sorry for not

1863

627

1865

1866

should invite Gaston tonight to write about the opening.

1870

1871

you two

Yes

It was just... it was a misunderstanding,

01:16:30my misunderstanding.

01:16:32I really should stick to

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890

1879

about how I acted

how I muddied things between us.

We were good friends.

I shouldn't have tried to make us more.

01:16:52[dramatic music]

01:16:54So can we keep in

5 00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:56,890
