Girl on a Bicycle

Ah, jolie! Ah, oui!

Buongiorno. Prego.

Buongiorno.

Buongiorno.

Buongiorno.

Buongiorno, sorella.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am Paolo Moretti,

and I welcome you on board of our tour of Paris,

which, by the way, is a city that was founded by the Romans...

in 54 Before Christ.

I will be giving you the true story,

and not some old, boring history lesson about Paris.

In fact, Paris is the most Italian city outside of Italy.

Ja.

Ja.

Oh!

This is the Arc de Triomphe.

It was built in 1836...

and is, of course, modeled after the Roman...

triumphal arches that still stand in Rome.

It's not really a very good copy of the Italian arches.

I mean, it's a- Well, I wouldn't say anything to the French,

because they like their arches very much, and they would feel really bad...

if they knew this is a poor copy.

But if you really wanna see a beautiful arch, you must go to Italy.

Check this out.

What is it, a mobile disco?

It's an engagement ring, idiot.

Paolo, I am overwhelmed.

I mean, I must call my parents at once.

I didn't think I'd get married again after my third wife.

It's for Greta.

Well, I do hope we can be friends still,

because I think what we had together was very special.

Grazie.

Does it feel hot in here?

Um, it might be a little warm, yes.

No, I mean, like, really hot--

like, uh, sweltering, suffocating hot, like a sauna.

Like you can barely breathe. No?

Maybe some cold water?

Yeah. Good idea.

Hmm?

Now I'm sweating.

So, I was thinking,

like, uh,

when you have a baby, like the baby is sleeping,

and you want to go for a pizza,

like the last minute, right,

you just can't do it anymore, right?

They deliver.

Ah.

Ah, they deliver.

Okay, Greta,

We've been living together for three years, no?

So-— Two months, 11 days,

seven hours and four minutes.

You have an app in your phone that tells you how long you lived with a man?

No, not with a man. Only you.

I got it after we met on the Rome flight...

because I knew that I would never have to reset it.

That's nice.

Let's see.

- I have something to ask you. - Mmm!

But I can't really breathe, so-

I can't catch my breath.

Paolo, take long, deep breaths,

and then ask your question, hmm?

Very good.

And now we need to get organized here.

Is there maybe something you wanted to give me?

Yes.

Yes.

- Maybe you wanted to kneel? - I know. I'm sorry.

Push the button.

It's beautiful.

May I?

Aspetta.

Greta, you are my life,

and I want to ask you, with all my heart,

if you will marry me and be my wife.

This is how much I love you.

Now? Yeah.

I would be very, very happy to marry you, Paolo.

It's such a beautiful restaurant here,

and it's so lovely of you to bring rne here to propose to me.

But would you maybe prefer pizza?

Yes.

Yes. They deliver.

No. Why?

Why? Why?

Why this motorcycle? Why? Why? Why?

- Who are these people? - Okay, pause. Pause.

- No, no. - Pause.

Ready? Mm-hmm.

Okay, go. Go.

By. Nice.

Still no by.

Who's this? Yes!

I don't like this game anymore.

Because you're bad. And I'm good.

And now-—

Mm-hmm?

Talk to me in Italian, please.

Come on. Work that Roman magic on me.

I'm not from Rome. I'm from Palermo.

I heard about that. And now let's hear some Italian.

I don't want to talk Italian.

Talk to me in German.

Yeah, right. What?

Paolo, seriously. You can't make love in German.

Why not? I mean, like, German people make love in German all the time, no?

The only thing you can do in German is make sure everything is in the proper order.

Eins, zwei, drei, vier,

and then you come together.

Well, I don't want to talk Italian.

Talk to me in German. I'm tired of talking Italian all the time.

Say some beautiful German words. Come on.

I don't know what I'd say.

Just say the first thing that comes to your mind, please.

Okay.

More German. Louder. Louder.

Louder? Okay.

Ooh.

Ah!

Hey, guys.

Impressive. Show me.

Ah. One minute, s'il te plaît.

There is a diamond there somewhere. Yes?

That's not just the reflection of the light?

You're impossible.

Paolo is a bus driver. He saved a year for this.

I was just joking,chérie. It's a beautiful ring.

And I couldn't be happier that you're in love.

All marriages should start out this way, uh, before-

- Before what? - Nothing. You should enjoy it while it lasts.

Especially with an Italian.

Did I tell you you look radiant today?

Really.

You're lit up with love, chérie.

- Why is he doing this? - He's French. He can't help it.

They think they invented love.

Uh, it's true. We did.

They don't call it German kissing, do they?

François, I'm horribly sorry I ever showed you the ring.

You need help. Okay.

Um, Want to have a drink with me when we get to--

Where are we going today, Fritz?

Munich, I think.

Munich.

So how about a drink in Munich?

I mean, I had to literally, like, guide him through the whole proposal.

You guarded him? No, I didn't guard him. I guided him.

Ah.

I worry about you and Paolo chérie.

You do? Uh-huh.

Why? Because men prefer women who are, um-

How shall I put this?

More French.
