All language subtitles for Paris Is Always A Good Idea S01E03 720p WEB H264-JFF

11 years ago, I
met a boy in Ireland.

I'd marry you tomorrow
if you'd let me.

So I
went chasing my first what if.

Chelsea Martin.

Can I meet you
for dinner in the pub?

I mean, you remember Mom
and Dad together, how they were.

They were-- they were
each other's everything.

Love with Sherrie?

You barely know her.

I'm going to ask
her to marry me.

Wow!

You're going clubbing
again, Martin?

She has a date.

A sheep farmer?

Your date
went well, I assume?

It was a train wreck.

He's married.

Are you flirting
with me, Annabelle?

No.

Because I want you to flirt.

Colin wasn't my only what if.

Maybe I should reach
out to the other two.

Yes.

Sebastian wrote back.

The French guy?

Maybe
the thing I was looking

for was in Paris after all.

OK.

So now I should tell you
about my second what if.

After Ireland, I spent
a few months in Le Perche,

in a forest in France.

I could have spent a lifetime
exploring those trails.

I just love the peacefulness
of the place.

And I didn't mind getting my
hands dirty, but I missed Colin.

We'd exchanged
messages at first.

But after a few weeks,
they became sparse.

And eventually, they
stopped altogether.

It hurt to feel him drift away.

No.

I mean, no, merci.

I'm-- I'm a mess.

You look beautiful.

I'll ask you again tomorrow.

He wasn't kidding.

He came back every single day
asking to take my picture.

Sebastian grew up locally
without much money.

He spent everything he
had to buy that camera.

He was an artist even then.

- No.
-Please.

Let me take your photo.

I'm building a portfolio
and you inspire me.

I can't.

I wouldn't possibly know
the first thing about posing.

That's not what I
see when I look at you.

You're in your head all
the time yet you feel so deeply.

Please, let me show you.

You can't share
them with anyone.

I would be mortified.

I mean it, ever.

You have my word.

He chose the time,

so the lighting
would be perfect.

He said if he only got
to photograph me once--

I want to get it right.

So tell me about yourself.

There's not much to tell.

Your heart is broken, yes?

I left him.

I didn't want to.

I was planning to go back.

I think I may have
lost him already.

Frenchmen are not so fickle.

You know, most Americans
who volunteer here, they

go to Paris for the weekend.

But you, you're always working.

I want to learn.

About how to clean the river?

Yeah, about the local ecology.

I want to get my PhD
in sustainability.

Why sustainability?

Uh, well because I
wasn't good enough

at chem to go to med school.

You don't strike
me as someone who

gives up when things are hard.

The truth is I didn't even
really want to go to med school.

I just wanted--
you're going to laugh.

Try me.

I want my life
to mean something.

I want to make a real, tangible
difference in the world.

Beautiful.

For the first time in my life,

I saw myself as beautiful.

I told you.

Sebastian
captured something real,

something I didn't
show everyone.

And I love that he kept
the photograph between us.

It was just ours.

Wait.

I'm so sorry.

I-- I've read this all wrong.

No, no no, no, you
read this very right.

But I'm leaving soon.

He'd been accepted

to a photography
program in London,

and I was only in France
for another month.

It just wasn't
the right time for us.

But it didn't stop us
from getting closer.

We both had big ambitions,
passions, goals.

It was something we
really connected on.

But no matter how we felt
about each other, neither of us

would ever ask the other
to set aside their dreams.

But when it was
time to say goodbye,

my heart ached at the thought
of leaving him.

I wish.

No, I will not be
the cause of your sadness.

You have the world to change.

We both do.

I always wondered

what we could have been,
but our timing was never right.

Until it was.

We were both in Paris
for work and--

Annabelle, I just
need two seconds.

You're not supposed
to be up here.

Don't get me wrong

If I'm looking kind of dazzled

I see neon light

Whenever you walk by

Don't get me wrong

If I'm acting so distracted

I'm thinking 'bout the fireworks

That go off when you smile

Hey, do you care about
a window seat on the flight

to Paris?

I still can't believe
Sebastian is there.

Chels, it is a sign.

I still
don't believe in that.

What?

He just so happens to have
a magazine shoot in Paris

this week?

I mean, Mom is
practically screaming

at you from beyond the grave.

- Annabelle.
- Come on.

He lives in New York now.

That's barely even
a long distance

relationship from Boston.

We're just meeting, OK?

We're not getting married.

Not yet.

Listen, there's
a flight in four hours.

Do you think you could be ready?

I mean, it's not like
you actually unpacked.

Uh, I could.

I will just have
to cancel on Declan.

Oh, the bartender?

He's persistent, so I--

I told him he could take me out.

OK, so you should stay.

It's a date.

No, you need me.

What?

Are you really not
going to go on a date

to make sure that I go on mine?

How's that fair?

You got to take care
of your own needs.

Did you just therapize me?

- I did.
- I hated it.

I loved it.

It's OK if I skip this one.

All of my dates end
in disaster anyway.

Well, I just went on a date
with a married man, his wife,

and their lovely
children so can't really

get much worse than that.

True.

It has been a while since
I liked a guy for real.

It's a long while ever
since you ended it with Rylan.

Yeah, not for lack of trying.

It just hasn't worked out.

OK.

So if you like
Declan, then stay.

You sure?

Yes.

Be honest.

You're just trying
to shake me so you

can look at your work emails.

No, I can't let Knightly get
all this extra credit with Aidan

while I'm gone.

The stakes are too high.

But don't worry,
I will multitask.

You should stay.

OK.

What?

She's coming?

Well,
that's the fastest

you've ever read an email.

I-- I sent you that info as
an FYI, not to ruin your trip.

You don't need to be
in Paris for this meeting.

I can handle a new
client intro on my own.

You didn't ruin anything.

I came back earlier, which
means I am coming to the meeting

so you don't get
to one up me this time.

No, no, it'll be more fun
to one up you in person.

I'd like
to see you try.

I will give you this.

Wooing additional
donors to maximize

our time in Paris while we
wait for Apolline very smart.

A compliment.

Is this a trap?

Uh, no, because it's
followed up with a "but."

Ah!

I do think this
meeting is getting

a little ahead of itself.

I mean, the ACC doesn't have
an international tax incentive.

Yet.

We're putting it in place
for the Apolline donation.

If we get it.

We're getting Apolline.

I know, but we
can't guarantee that.

Confidence, Martin.

I just don't like
making empty promises.

But that's exactly
how you operate.

All style, no substance.

Whoa, whoa!

I have plenty of substance.

But it's good to know
you think I'm stylish.

So what?

We're just going to spend
the rest of the day prepping

together so we can
be overprepared

to your perfectionist liking?

Actually, no.

I have somewhere else I have to
be, so I'll talk to you later.

Wait, why are you in--

in Paris?

Listen, before we go
in, just to be clear,

and I don't want to argue,
but dinner's on me.

OK?

We're celebrating your success.

I-- I can't accept that.

Sebastian, I know you can pay
your own way, but it's a treat.

It's a gift before
you head off and

become a famous photographer.

It's too much.

When you become a household
name, you can take me to dinner.

Let's go.

After you.

Wow!

Chelsea, just
as beautiful as ever.

Hi.

This is amazing.

Oh, thank you.

Come, come.

Chelsea, this is Emma.

- She's our muse for today.
- Enchante.

Oh, it's so nice to meet you.

That might be the prettiest
dress I've ever seen.

I just wear it.

SEBASTIAN: OK.

Come on.

Oh, you would have
been a better muse.

OK.

Now you're just being crazy.

- Yes.
- Oh, thank you.

It's for you.

Let me finish here and then
just spend the day together.

I just have a few hours.

I have a-- a meeting.

Ugh, you guys.

It's beautiful.

But Irish summers are
colder than you think.

Oh, hang on.

Chelsea sent me a photo.

Whoa!

Well, show us.

OK, but I did
not send you this.

Whoa!

Wait.

Is that Emma Drew?

Who?

The model.

The famous model.

Yeah, the one who
dated Joe Burrow.

- Yeah.
- Oh, oh, whoa!

Whoa!

What's Chelsea doing with her?

Is she
still being weird and distant?

She hasn't called.

I'm sorry.
I tried to talk to her about it.

I'll try again.

Annabelle, it's not
your job to fix this.

It's Glenn's.

I think it's Chelsea's.

Honey, you're her dad.

You need to make it right.

And you, you need to start
putting yourself first

and stop worrying about them.

It's funny, Chelsea said
pretty much the same thing to me

earlier.

Oh!

Did she?

She'll come around, Sher.

It's OK, honey.

I don't want to force it.

You can give her time.

OK.

You tell me more
about this Irish guy.

Where's he taking you tonight?

Hopefully, somewhere
with a fire inside.

Ah!

Yeah, we got it.

That's a wrap.

OK.
Come with me.

- Done?
- Yeah.

Now you're all mine.

Where are we going?

What are we doing?

Making up for 10
years of lost time.

Wait.

Wait?

Are you single?

Do you have a girlfriend,
a wife, anyone?

No anyone.

You?

- Same.
- OK.

OK.

Now, where were we?

Oh!

Oh!

Right.

I want to see you tonight.

Really?

If you say no,
I'll keep asking.

I'd love that.

Just kind of surprised.

I thought you wouldn't
be so available.

I mean, you're fancy now.

Fancier you get, the more
you appreciate people like you.

This is me.

You sure you can't
blow off your meeting?

I wish.

Thank you.

Martin?

Sorry, I'm late.

Well, first
time for everything.

Sebastian, this is Jason
Knightly, my colleague.

Knightly, this is Sebastian my--

Yours.

I'll pick you up at 8:00?

Sounds good.

Sorry.

We have a history.

Now, that didn't sound
like an Irish accent.

And you didn't really
smell like sheep.

I will explain later.

We got to get our heads
in this pitch.

I also didn't notice
a wedding ring on his finger.

It's not the same
guy, Knightly.

Pitch, focus.

I know how you
expect me to drop this.

I mean, this is
far too intriguing.

As soon as we're done
working, I will tell

you all the boring details.

Even you can't make
whatever that was boring.

Let's go.

Well, I'm so glad
you decided to come.

Might be out of my depth
with the small talk here.

I've never been to any
of these places.

I think that was a verbal
acknowledgment that you need me.

Don't let it go to your head.

Have you really never
been to the Eiffel Tower?

We couldn't take vacations
when I was little, Martin.

We were lucky if we
made it to Revere Beach.

Well, you have been
in Paris for three days.

Working.

Isn't this supposed to be
a tourist trap anyway?

Yeah, for a reason.

Because everyone should
do it at least once.

My Boston mate.

Hey.

You really from Dorchester?

All my life.

Dorchester High.

Till it shut down.

Kids today, they're
spoiled, right?

No heat makes you tough.

Come on.

Can you believe
a Dorchester kid like me

ends up owning a company
with its office

right on the Golden Triangle.

It's the dream.

- Thank you.
-Come on in.

Thanks.

The ACC has led
programs on new research,

launched cutting-edge
treatments, cell engineering,

immunotherapies, along with--

You know, I'm
Into cutting-edge tech myself.

I first implemented
AR in all of my tours

before any
of my competitors did.

Oh, that's-- that's great.

Yeah, then I'm sure
you'll appreciate

being on the forefront
of development.

And in our case, we can use
that tech to save lives.

Plus, donating to the ACC
looks good for you.

How many of your customers
are American?

Pretty much all of them.

61% of Americans under 40
prefer to buy from companies who

support what they believe in.

No one is opposed
to fighting cancer.

Trust me.

Oh, well, no, I mean,
that's interesting.

We could do
a brand partnership.

Take one of our patients from
the youth treatment program

and send them on one
of your tours.

Be a whole PR move.

Take a sick kid to Paris.

Smart.

The trouble is we're
a French corporation.

You're a US-based non-profit.

So the tax breaks are just--
they're just not there.

That's not necessarily true.

We are in the process
of securing,

well, an unprecedented donation.

A part of that deal is
incorporating in the EU,

which means, well, tax breaks.

You make that happen, I'm in.

OK.

OK.

I will reluctantly admit you
are very good at schmoozing

even without the Eiffel Tower.

That guy loved you.

And you were totally right about
dangling the tax break carrot.

Oh, can I record you
saying I was right?

I just want to listen to it
every night before I go to bed.

Well, it's never
happening again

so you have missed your chance.

Oh, too bad.

But the secret to schmoozing is
to figure out what people want,

you know?

I mean, everybody goes into a
conversation wanting something.

That guy, all he cared
about was appearances.

People like that
just want to hear

how we can make them look good.

I mean, some people
do get into this

because they want to save lives.

That's just you.

Aidan.

Aidan wants to find greater
meaning in his existence.

You know, a sense of purpose.

What about Jonesy over
at Children's Hospital?

So win whatever bet
he placed that night.

Oh, come on.

I'm serious.

You know the Seven Robotics guy?

He wanted to be a pioneer.

I had to figure
out a way for him

to innovate with his donation.

What about you?

Why are you in this business?

I'm good at it.

No one's as noble
as you are, Martin.

Me?

Oh, please.

Nah!

Half the time I'm just trying
to figure out how to beat you.

What about Sophie Arnault?

What does she want?

I'll tell you when I meet her.

Fair enough.

If we ever get
this meeting reset.

I'm still waiting on a new time.

Wait, are you worried?

Please don't tell me that.

About securing the donation?

No, you got them wrapped
around your finger.

But I can't stay
in Paris indefinitely.

Well, I mean, yeah, what with
the Bleacher Bar do without you.

Oh, you're-- you're serious?

I just-- I have
responsibilities.

Like what?

My sister is 15.

And she goes to this really
great private school outside

of town, and I drive her.

But at this point, the--

the car bill is going to drown
me if I stay here much longer.

What about your parents?

Not everyone has a
picture perfect family, Martin.

Anyways, it's not your problem.

I'll-- I'll figure it out.

I'm sorry.

Why?

Are you the one
prolonging the meeting?

No, but I--

I definitely made some
unfair assumptions about you.

Yeah, most of them are true.

I do love the Bleacher Bar.

Listen, I'll--

I'll call Aidan
and make sure he knows

the tourism account is all you.

Uh, wait.

What?

I don't do handouts, Martin.

It's not a handout.

I wasn't even supposed
to be in the meeting.

I mean, you found the company.

No, I-- I sent you the list.

You found the Boston connection.

- You got us in the door.
- You did all the legwork.

It is your win.

No, no, no, it's our win, OK?

We did it together.

Look, I-- I didn't tell
you about my sister for you

to feel sorry for me, OK?

That's not what we do.

We fight.

We make each other better.

I'd rather you hate me
than feel pity for me.

You think I make you better.

I said it goes both ways.

OK.

No handouts.

Good.

Wow!

Oh, Sebastian

All right.

Time's up, Martin.

You promised me all
the boring details, remember?

OK, wait.

So you're reconnecting
with three exes

because your late mom is sending
you on a quest to find love?

My sister makes it
sound really weird

when she talks about it, too.

I don't know if there's a way
to make it sound normal, Martin.

It's cool.
It's different for you.

I know, right?

But I kind of like it.

I mean, I love
my job, obviously,

but I have used it to avoid
dealing with some things.

Grief and emotions.

I don't know, Martin.

Passion is an emotion
and you've got that in spades.

Thank you.

Also, anger.

You definitely have that.

I think I bring that out of you.

Well, at least
you're owning it.

Yeah, I've let work be
the only good thing in my life

for too long.

You really like
this French guy, huh?

I mean, it's incredible to
see, you know, what he's become.

I always knew he was
talented and driven

and I always thought
he would make it.

But to see it in action.

You knew him when?

Yeah.

And now he's buying
you $10,000 dresses.

That's not-- $10,000?

I googled it.

That's-- oh, I
can't wear that.

That's way too much.

I'm a spiller.

No, I got to give that back.

Oof!

If I bought a gift
like that for someone,

and they wanted to return
it, I'd be pretty hurt.

Unless it's just not your style.

No, I mean, it's--

it's beautiful.

It's everyone's style.

Well, then I guarantee all the
guy wants is to see you in it.

Your mom would tell
you to wear it, right?

You cannot play the mom card.

She sounds awesome.

Your whole family, they'd
all tell you to wear it.

That's why you called me
selfish before, isn't it?

Because you don't have a family
who would drop everything

to come to Paris to support
you and I was taking mine for

granted.

I could have been
nicer about it.

It wouldn't have
made a difference.

I was too annoyed
to hear you out.

Sounds like 90%
of our interactions.

I mean,
if Aidan could see us now--

He'd probably tell us to swap
the wine for probiotic tea.

You know what, at least
my aura is lighter.

Well, I'll let you get to it.

Big night.

Hey, Knightly?

Your sister's lucky to have you.

Chels?

Hi, Dad.

Uh, hi.

Thank you for coming to Paris,
for putting your whole life

aside to do things at my pace.

You've always been there
for me when I needed you.

I'm just-- I love you, Dad.

And I want you to know it.

And I'm so sorry that I'm
having such a hard time

wrapping my head around
the Sherrie thing,

but I want you to be happy.

I really, really do.

Are you saying that
you'll give her a chance?

I'm saying I don't
want to stand in the way

of you living your life.

Sherrie's a good woman, Chels.

I mean, she wants to get
to know you better.

She doesn't have
kids of her own.

Dad, you don't need
my permission to marry Sherrie.

Look, I know that.

I just-- I'd like
us to be a family.

And we are.

OK.

I kind of have to go
because I have a date.

With the famous photographer?

Annabelle told you.

Yeah, apparently he shot
the last royal wedding.

Oh, that's interesting.

Did she also tell you that she
stayed in Ireland for a boy?

That's good for her.

She needs to get back out there.

Aren't dads
supposed to be weirded

out by their daughters dating?

Well, not if they
trust that their girls

will make the right choices.

And I do, for the record.

OK, that's cheesy.

But I love you, Dad.

I love you, too, Chels.

Be safe.

All right.

Wow!

You're so beautiful.

You're too radiant for words.

I don't know what to say.

Just come with me.

OK.

I have a surprise planned.

Well, but you've
done so much already.

The dress, Sebastian.

It was made for you.

OK.

Keep your eyes closed.

- Right here.
- OK.

All right.

OK.

Open.

Our date is here?

Yeah.

You look so beautiful, I
have to take your photo.

Oh, no, absolutely not.

Well, you're my first muse.

That's how we met.

Sebastian, no.

I'm not a model.

You are the most
interesting woman

I have ever captured on film.

Please.

The portrait I took of you
is still one of my favorites.

All right.

So tell me, what are
you doing in Paris?

I--

Come on, Chels.

Humor me, please.

I'm here for work.

Cleaning the river again?

No.

I work for the American
Cancer Coalition,

securing a donation
from Apolline,

the biggest in ACC history.

Oh!

I've taken pictures
for Apolline in many times.

Sophia Arnault is
a close friend.

She is?

Mm-hmm.

I can give her a call,
put in a good word.

That would be amazing.

I mean, this
donation would just--

it would make a world
of difference.

Would you really do that for me?

Yeah, we could help
each other, perhaps.

I don't know that I have
anything to offer you.

That's not true.

So many people don't live
up to their promises.

But you, from the first
photo I took of you,

I knew you were different.

Special.

You know, I have an exhibition
at Parsons next fall,

retrospective on my career.

It would mean so much
to me to have you there.

Really?

Why?

I'll fly
you there, first class.

OK.

What do you want?

Nothing.

I'm just taking your photo.

Everyone comes
into a conversation

wanting something, Sebastian.

Please, just be honest with me.

Can't I just admire you?

I thought we were
going to dinner.

Chelsea, I know all
the best chefs in Paris.

Just name it, I'll take
you anywhere you want.

I just want the truth.

SEBASTIAN: OK.

It's the exhibition I
told you about, Parsons.

They want to feature
my early work, all of it.

OK?

The portrait I took of you
was the start of my career

so I need a written
consent to include it.

Sebastian, that
photo was just for us.

You promised.

I know, but you belong
in my retrospective.

Do you know how
beautiful you are?

I wanted to remind
you with new pictures.

And these ones can
be just for us.

So that's what
this was all about?

The whole day.

Send me a dress, you make me
feel special, you flirt with me.

What?

Just to coerce me into signing?

Come on.

Do you think so low of me?

No, but what if I
hadn't reached out to you?

Really, would my photo
just be hanging in New York

without my knowledge or--

It doesn't matter
what would have been.

But--

You're here with me.

Do not get confused by anything
that happened today.

I want you, and I always have.

I mean, think of the power
couple we could be together.

OK.

So what if I say no?

What if I don't sign?

I need you to sign.

Right.

Goodbye, Sebastian.

OK, wait.

And just in case I wasn't
clear, my answer is no.

You're not supposed
to be up here.

I just got to take
shots of the dress.

Fine.

It's in there.

Thank you.

So how much did it sell for?

Huh?

The portrait
of me by the river.

Your agent said there would
be an auction after I signed.

I would never sell it.

Well, not yet anyway.

These portrait of celebrities
are more valuable right now.

Your portrait will be
worth more when I'm older,

towards the end of my career.

Wow!

You asked.

Wow, wow, wow.

You told me to be
honest moving forward.

I listen.

All right, just take
good pictures today, please.

I don't take bad photos.

I told you I would
photograph the wedding

in exchange for the portrait,
and I meant it.

These will be perfect.

Perfect.

I just have to get back to this.

Yeah.

I got what I need.

Great.

All right.

Sebastian wasn't the one.

But my short time
with him-- well,

both of my short times
with him, they did

teach me something valuable.

Oh, food.

Thank you, Paris.

Person is feminine
so you say.

I will say anything you
want for a plate of fries.

Of course.

I don't believe in signs.

Huh?

A colleague, a friend.

Sebastian taught me
how to see myself

through someone else's eyes.

How to feel beautiful.

Martin.

- I'm too hungry to talk.
- OK.

How about it?

Mm!

No French photographer?

Uh-uh.

Ugh!

Bad date, huh?

What was your first clue?

The fact
that you're starving.

Thank you.

I mean, who doesn't
plan for dinner?

That's a big
mistake, for sure.

Although that wouldn't be enough
to send you over the edge.

Let me guess.

Um, secret wife?

Worse.

Two secret wives?

Ulterior motives.

Oh!

You were right.

Everyone wants something.

I can't imagine wanting
anything else in the world

while you're in that dress.

And look, it feels

good to see beauty in yourself.

But you know what
feels even better?

I know you're a spiller.

Being seen.

Being known.

And oh, yeah, being fed.

All right, so tell me.

So

Love stuck
by you from the glue

I guess I'm stuck
forever by the glue

Oh and you

Finding the right words
to use for this song

I have you in mind
so it won't take so long

Never thought I'd find you

But you're here
and so I love you
