I don't wanna go back to New York.
It's gone by too fast.
Maybe I don't.
Maybe I stay here and paint.
No, no, no, we have a plan, remember?
It just feels like goodbye.
No, no goodbyes.
Look, it'll just be a few months.
You have to finish school.
I have to finish work.
Have you told your father you're quitting?
I will.
Hey, we'll be back together by Valentine's Day.
Top of the empire state building?
Doesn't sound quite as romantic
as the top of the Eiffel Tower,
but it will have to do.
We'll lock it on the bridge,
and our love will last forever.
Forever?
Forever.
Forever...
Okay.
With this lock, I thee...
Whoa!
You did that on purpose.
No, no, no, that was your fault.
You-you grabbed for it.
Thank you.
Good morning, Maggie.
Morning, Lindsey.
First cup of coffee?
Third.
How are we doing with the Valentine issue?
You just need to pick a cover.
Not the cupid.
The last thing I want to think about
is a chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon.
Hmm, such a romantic.
Not that one.
Speaking of which,
Trent Greer's in your office.
What?
Sorry, he's a really hard guy to say no to.
What's he doing here?
Who cares? He's gorgeous.
Now, do something with your hair.
What's wrong with my hair?
You could try wearing it down sometimes.
Don't you have something to do?
Trent...
Hey...
What a surprise.
Oh, yeah? Good or bad?
Good. Good...
Um, actually, I wanted to catch you before you left,
because your assistant said
that you're going to Paris tomorrow
with your daughter.
Oh, did she tell you
what I had for breakfast as well?
French toast?
God, I can't believe you're old enough
to have a daughter old enough
to be in college.
I am also old enough to know when I'm being buttered up.
All right.
Okay, here it is.
I really want to take you out.
Oh.
Yeah, and I want to buy your magazine.
Oh.
Okay, now, was that a "yes/yes,"
a "yes/no," or a "no/yes"?
Yes.
And no.
I-I don't know...
Let me tell you this, Lindsey,
you've done an incredible job with pov.
It is-it is a unique magazine,
you've done it yourself, on a limited budget...
Thank you?
The problem is, the readership's maxed out,
and it does not have to be like that,
and I can help you take it to the next level.
You want to buy me out.
I want you to stay on to consult.
So I'd be working for you.
With me.
You know, Trent, the thing is,
I've kind of become used to being my own boss.
I do get that.
Believe me.
When I opened my first publishing house,
the last thing on my mind was selling it,
but I did.
I did, and I built something bigger and better
than I ever imagined.
So, do me a favor.
While you're traveling,
just think about it.
And the other "it," too.
I will.
And I will.
Great.
And, one other thing,
um, I'm actually going to be in London next week,
and it's a short flight to Paris.
I'd love the chance to show you our Paris office.
Wow, you must really want my magazine.
Oh, yeah, that too.
Tell me he's not the best-looking guy
you've ever seen.
Looks have nothing to do with it.
What's wrong?
He wants to buy the magazine.
Seriously?
What did you say?
I wanted to say "no," but somehow I didn't?
Hmm, I'm pretty sure he has that effect
on everyone.
Would it be so bad to sell?
I'm saying goodbye to my daughter,
I don't want to say goodbye to my business, too.
I know, it's just...
He's just so gorgeous.
Maggie, that's all you can think about.
Let's finish up this layout.
That's great.
Really great.
You packed yet?
Tonight.
Throw in something sexy.
Why?
You're going to Paris, girl,
not New Jersey.
All right.
This looks good,
except move the gaucher to the center,
and increase it to 5x7.
Oh, and also, increase the opacity
so we're seeing the titles.
Yeah, like that.
Hi, mom!
'Lex? You're early!
Yeah, I caught a ride with a guy from school!
What guy?
Uh, some guy who's name I found on the ride board in my dorm.
You drove all the way from Connecticut
with a total stranger?
And two other friends.
So the three of you drove from Connecticut
with a total stranger.
Mom, you are helicoptering again.
You're right.
Engine's off.
Hey! I remember that.
It used to be in the hallway.
Yeah, we have better taste now.
No, we don't.
You should put it up again.
It's too big.
You were so good. Why did you stop?
Hmm, I guess my fine arts degree
taught me the fine art of unemployment.
Maybe you'll start again.
No, it's your turn, kiddo. You hungry?
Pasta? Alfredo sauce?
Extra cheese!
I can't wait for you to meet Hugo.
Me either.
He is the best teacher.
But he's a little bit of a meddler,
so don't tell him too much about your social life.
Not that you'll have one,
because you'll be too busy studying.
Uh-huh, right...
Ten letter word for "soulmate"?
"Delusional?"
You're terrible.
Or realistic.
Why should there be only one person for everyone?
But what if there is?
Honey, remember when I had to tell you
there was no tooth fairy?
Well, brace yourself.
Okay, just because you were right about the tooth fairy
doesn't mean you're right about this.
It's dad.
See? Proof positive.
Hi, dad.
Yes, I'll be careful.
Yes, I have my passport.
Okay, um... say hi to Jane.
Okay, love you, too.
Yeah, bye.
Who's Jane?
Um...
Dad and Marcie separated,
so it looks like he's heading for number three.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
And you shouldn't refer to your dad's wives
as numbers.
At least you're still number one.
Yay.
You know what I look forward to?
The day that I get to tell dad
that you are seeing someone else.
I'm more concerned with work, you know that.
Yes, that's what you always say.
Actually,
someone wants to buy pov.
Actually, not just someone.
Trent Greer.
The publishing guy?
Yeah.
That's great.
It would be, if I was selling.
Would that be such a bad thing?
It's what I do every day.
It's... who I am.
Why would I sell my life?
What life? You work all the time, and...
I mean, I love the magazine, but...
It's kind of the only relationship you have.
I have you.
Okay...
When's the last time you went out?
And not for something business-y.
Not that long ago.
I don't think.
Can you believe you're about to go to Paris
for three months?
Mm-hmm, nice pivot.
Helicopters pivot, right?
And I can't wait.
Done!
Place de la concorde!
Wait till you see it with all the lights.
Mom, look, it's the Eiffel Tower!
We have to go.
We will.
Have you ever been to the top?
Just once.
I can't believe you never came back.
Well, I am now.
Bienvenue a Pierre du calvet.
Thank you.
Wow.
I guess this is us.
It's so us!
It's perfect!
Of course it is, Hugo picked it.
I like him already.
Welcome to Paris.
Merci.
I mean, really?
Already? We just landed.
Bonjour.
Bienvenue a l'hotel Pierre du calvet.
Merci, quel bel hotel.
Merci.
Nous avons une reservation au nom de Wilson,
s'il vous plait?
Impressive.
Why is your French better than mine?
Maybe because you stopped in the 12th grade?
Not to worry.
Our staff speaks English.
Yes. Your friend, monsieur Hugo,
had you upgraded to a suite.
How nice. Thank you.
Unfortunately,
it won't be ready for a few hours.
Oh, we don't need a room, we're in Paris!
Pas de probleme.
Hey, where to first?
Arc de triomphe, place de la concorde...
The louvre?
Or we could save the louvre for our last day together?
Ah! Can you please not use the phrase
"last day together"?
You're not allowed to be sad yet.
We have almost a week left.
Four days. 96 hours and counting.
Yeah, we can do a lot in four days.
We should go to the "love locks" bridge.
It's supposed to be so romantic.
It's just a bridge.
With locks.
Yeah, but those locks
are people pledging their love for each other.
Yeah,
and how many of those people
are still together today?
All of them, in some way.
You're such a romantic.
Yeah, well,
everyone's supposed to fall in love
in Paris, right?
Yeah.
Until they go back to their real lives.
C'est ouvert!
Bonjour, Ricardo!
Put the paint anywhere,
just don't make a mess like the last...
Charming as ever.
- Hugo... - Lindsey...
Mon coeur.
Alexa!
My new protegee.
Oh, "protegee".
Now I can only disappoint you.
Oh, well, you'll only disappoint me
if you stop painting, like your mother.
I just took a little time off, that's all.
What, 20 years?
I painted my apartment.
Navajo white, ecru trim.
Oh, ecru, ecru...
You have learned nothing from me, huh?
It's livable, and neutral.
Neutral?
Neutral is the color of the canvas
before you put on the paint.
I couldn't agree more.
And thank you for recommending me to the program.
Oh, well, I promise you
you will love the university,
and my class will be your favorite.
And until you move into the dorms,
I hope that the hotel accommodations are good?
We love it.
And thank you for the upgrade.
Who did you bribe?
Well, I am a friend of the manager.
Same old Hugo.
You know half of Paris.
Well, how else shall I sell my work?
Wow.
Is it possible you've gotten better?
Well, I'm like a fine wine.
This is amazing!
Here, come, I'll show you.
How about this one?
The love locks bridge.
It's beautiful.
Why isn't it finished?
Well, ask your mother.
This is yours?
I can't believe you kept it.
Well, this could be your best work,
if you finished.
Some things are better off left unfinished.
Well, maybe you'll finish it while you're here.
Don't count on it.
We'll see.
So, you're staying for my show?
We wouldn't miss it.
Whoa...
I'm never going to be able to go to a dorm after this.
I'm never going to be able to go back to anything
after this.
I think I'm already in love!
What?
'Lex?
Alexa?
I've always wanted to visit New York.
I've always wanted to come here.
How long you are staying?
For a semester, at the sorbonne.
I'm there, too. Third year.
Oh, what are you studying?
Mathematics. You?
Art.
I love art.
I love math.
Really?
Uh...
I mean, I could. I could love math.
I have a day off tomorrow.
Maybe I could show you around?
Oh, I'd love that,
but I'm going to be with my mom.
She's going through this whole empty nest thing.
Empty nest?
You mean, um...
Comme un oiseau?
Uh, like a-a bird?
Um, it's more like a... Like a raptor guarding an egg.
I'm not sure I understand.
Me neither, but...
I love her.
- Excuse me. - Yes?
I seem to have lost my daughter.
Oh, my.
Well, how old is the child?
Actually... 18.
Ah, well, not lost then, just being 18.
That's what I'm afraid of.
I did see a young woman heading out to the courtyard
with Jean Paul.
Jean Paul?
Bellhop?
Yes, yes, I think he does
a little of everything around here.
He's a lovely young man.
- Thank you. - Mm-hmm.
Alexa?
Hi, mom!
This is Jean Paul.
Madame,
you need not to worry about your nest.
My what?
Uh...
Enjoy your evening.
Aw, you scared him away.
Please, if he scares that easily,
he's not for you.
And you know that how?
Because, sweetie, he lives in Paris,
and chances are, if you start something now,
it'll end in three months.
End? It hasn't begun.
I know you think I'm just your mom,
but I was you once.
And what happens
if you fall in love with Jean Paul?
- I just met him. - Exactly.
The semester will be over, you'll go home,
you'll never see him again,
and Paris will be ruined for you,
and all this excitement you're feeling right now,
it'll all be ruined, too,
because everything will remind you of him.
Okay, look,
I don't know what's going on with you right now,
maybe it's the jet lag.
Um, I'm going to go get ready for dinner,
and you should go to the bar,
get yourself a nice glass of wine,
and remind yourself that...
I'm an adult.
Excuse me,
I'll have a glass of white wine, please?
Uh, yeah, we actually have a very nice...
Lindsey?
Jack?
What are you doing here?
I'm... pouring you a drink.
You're the bartender?
Actually... I own the place.
Hugo didn't mention this was your hotel.
Yeah, I guess that's why
he just called me out of the blue.
I didn't recognize your last name.
It's my married name.
Oh, congratulations.
We're divorced.
Condolences.
Thank you, and thank you.
So, what are you doing here?
Dropping my daughter off at school.
You have a daughter.
Alexa.
She's studying art.
Wow.
Like mother, like daughter.
You have kids?
Oh, no, no, no.
Um, it's just me and the hotel.
It's a nice place.
Yeah. Yeah, it, uh,
it's been a little while.
Going on 10 years.
You cut your hair.
That's been going on about 20 years.
You...
You look...
Older?
Uh, I was going to say beautiful.
Oh.
Thank you.
Oh, my goodness,
you look just like your mother.
Alexa, this is Jack.
He's, um...
I'm an old friend.
Nice to meet you.
Funny that you never mentioned him.
I'm sure I did.
No. You didn't.
Well, it was a long, long time ago.
Well, yeah, but it feels like it was yesterday.
Well, it's late.
Actually, it's 8:00.
Uh, it's late in New York.
Well, uh, it's earlier in New York...
Great seeing you!
All right, well, you'll be seeing a lot more of me,
since if you want extra towels, I'm your guy!
We have to move hotels.
Why? I like this hotel.
You'll adjust.
No, I just unpacked. We're not moving hotels.
So re-pack.
Who is he?
Just...
Someone I used to know from the sorbonne.
He was finishing up his degree,
his father was in the hotel business here.
And...?
And... nothing.
I went back to college,
he said he would follow me, and he didn't.
And that's it?
We called, we wrote.
Time passed,
life happened.
I met your dad, and you know the rest.
You were in love.
Mom, this is fate!
No, this is Hugo, meddling,
like the old days.
The love locks!
Wow, there are so many now.
Ah! All that love!
It's beautiful.
They're all rusted.
Which means they lasted.
Ah, the sound of texting
in the morning.
You're awake.
And you're smiling,
which means it must be a boy.
It's JP.
Oh, "JP."
Yesterday, it was "Jean Paul."
That was yesterday.
Would it be okay if he took me to the university
to register for classes?
Oh.
I thought I was going to do that.
It's just, he's registering, too,
and he can show me around.
- I'll tell him no. - Wait, wait, wait.
Tell him yes.
You sure?
Yeah, you should go meet some other students.
I love you, mom.
I love you, too, Lex.
Have fun.
Au revoir!
Merci.
Hey!
Just saw Alexa ride off
on the back of JP's scooter.
They looked like they were having fun...
Jack!
Oh, calm down, he's a great driver.
Like you were?
You're talking about that one wrong turn I made?
Up that one-way street?
Yeah, we went... one way,
and the traffic was all going the other way.
Here, I brought you
your crossword.
Oh. Quite the host.
Yeah, that I am.
You mind if I join you?
Thank you.
Hey, so, uh, what are you painting these days?
My nails?
I'm not really painting anymore.
What?
Why? That's terrible.
I have an art magazine.
It's only in New York,
but we have a nice little following.
Oh.
Well, that's great.
Yeah, thanks.
It's not what I planned, but it's worked out well.
Yeah, well, life is what happens
when you're making plans.
We both know that.
How's your father?
He's good.
He, uh, he took over a hotel in nice.
With my niece.
Nice.
Niece.
Listen, I-I...
I just wanted to say I'm sorry about, uh...
About everything...
It's okay...
No listen, I-I just want to say,
you know my father wanted me to stay behind,
help run the business.
I was going to come and visit,
but then, you know,
a lot of time had passed, and...
Seriously, it's okay.
I don't even know what we were thinking.
Well, we weren't thinking, we were in love.
We were young.
Actually, I think the problem was
you knocking that lock out of my hands.
Oh!
Oh, as I recall, your hands were a little shaky.
Yeah, well, it was freezing outside.
It's okay,
we didn't really believe in that lock stuff anyway.
Actually,
they cut off all the locks off of our bridge.
What?
Yeah, in fact,
they cut the locks off of all the Bridges
all over Paris.
I just saw them last night.
Except for Pont Neuf.
You know, those Bridges date back to Napoleon,
and all the weight
from all the locks on all the railings
were causing them to collapse,
and it was becoming a hazard.
Huh.
The hazard of love.
Pont Neuf is the last one,
and then all of Paris will be love-lock-less.
Oh, Mrs. Daltry.
I don't know if you've met Lindsey.
Not officially.
I'm Kathryn.
Kathryn, so nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, Lindsey.
I didn't realize you two were together.
Oh, we're not.
Well, we were...
We're not.
I see.
Well, I won't keep you two.
Enjoy your day.
Oh, no, no, no, please, uh, Mrs. Daltry,
I actually, uh,
I have to go back to work.
Thank you for the crossword.
Not a problem.
And... 2 down is "artichoke."
Please, Kathryn, join me.
Thank you.
Jack's turned this into such a charming place
over the years.
When my husband and i first stayed here...
Merci.
It was just a hole in the wall.
Oh, when was that?
Our honeymoon, 40 years ago.
Whoa.
Are you back to celebrate?
No. He died.
Oh.
I'm so sorry.
It's been two years now.
We would come here
every anniversary.
This is my first time back since.
I thought if I could just,
I don't know, see everything again,
I could hold on to the memories.
That sounds silly, I know.
It doesn't sound silly at all.
It sounds like you had a wonderful marriage.
We did.
You know, I'm visiting a friend today,
who has an art studio.
Sort of an artist/meddler.
Would you care to join?
Well, I wouldn't want to intrude...
Oh, trust me, he is "un-intrudable."
Sounds intriguing.
I'd love to.
I love it already!
Come on, I'll show you the dorms.
You're in the best one.
Okay.
The art department is over there.
And the math department?
Just across the way.
We can wave to each other through the windows!
So your mother went here?
Yeah, a semester abroad, just like me,
but I cannot believe she never came back!
Well, she's here now, though.
Yeah, she is.
Come on.
Lindsey! Mon coeur.
Hugo blanchett, this is Kathryn Daltry.
Kathryn, this is Hugo.
Ah, mon plaisir, madame.
How do you do?
Your work is incredible.
Oh, well, thank you, thank you.
Half the people who come here think the opposite.
Well, it's the other half you should listen to.
Well, I wish you were an art critic.
You're not, huh?
No, just a tourist.
Oh, I doubt that.
How you like your hotel?
Uh, you could have mentioned it's Jack's.
What would be the fun in that?
Oh, you never change.
I hear he's single.
Stay out of it, Hugo.
Madame, how long are you in town?
Just a few days.
Ah, yes...
Enough for me to paint you.
Well, no... I couldn't...
Oh...
Give me one reason.
Well, I'm sure I could give you several.
Hugo, maybe another time...
Ah, ah, ah! How many times I told you,
seize the moment.
The moment is now, carpe diem...
Ah?
It would be...
An honor.
Just a quick sketch, hmm?
S'il vous plait?
Well, I suppose that would be all right.
Yes. Lindsey, go gesso the canvas, please?
Oh, I haven't done that in...
In 20 years, I know. She was my best student.
He's prone to exaggeration...
Well, we'll never know, 'cause you quit!
If you've forgotten, it's the brush, the paint,
it's all coming back to you now?
Yes, maestro.
Now...
You have a sadness in your eyes.
And a joy.
I'll try to catch both.
Hmm?
Coming!
Wow.
These are for you.
Thank you.
You shouldn't have.
I didn't.
They're from... "Trent Greer"?
Thank you.
I thought you were allergic to roses.
Not anymore.
Are you...
Waiting for a tip?
No. Nope, I'm good.
Okay.
Well then, thank you.
Yeah, don't mention it!
Ah, Lindsey, I was hoping to see you.
Won't you join me?
How was your sitting with Hugo?
He's very opinionated.
He is.
And demanding.
That too.
He wouldn't show me the sketch.
And he won't,
not until he's finished.
Are you going back?
No, I don't think so,
but thank you for the introduction.
I mean, if things were different, perhaps, but...
I don't think I should have come back here.
Hmm.
I've had those same thoughts,
and if it weren't for my daughter,
I probably wouldn't have.
You fell in love in Paris.
A long time ago.
Ah...
James and i had the best times here.
Just walking and talking,
nothing out of the ordinary,
yet somehow extraordinary.
You're very lucky to have had a love like that.
Yes, I am.
I know we've just met,
and I am no expert on love,
but I can't help but think
he'd want you to be happy like that again.
That's exactly what he'd want.
And if only I could.
Where have you been?
Oh.
Uh, folding towels?
I thought you were Alexa.
Oh, she's not back yet?
Or answering her cell.
All right, well,
I left a message with JP.
They probably just lost track of time.
Hey, how long have you known this JP kid?
Um, I don't know, a couple of months.
That's it?
He's a good kid.
He's studying mathematics.
I mean, how dangerous can he be?
Okay.
You know what, grab your coat.
We're going for a walk.
So, if you were two young people,
and you were in love,
where would you go?
In love?
They just met yesterday.
How long did it take us?
Okay, well, that was different.
If you say so.
This can only end one way.
So if something ends,
it should have never started?
I just don't want them to go through
what we went through.
We were happy.
We were.
So "Trent Greer" of Greer publishing,
offices in New York, London, and Paris.
Google.
You Googled my roses?
I Googled your roses.
How come he didn't know you were allergic?
He's... he's trying to buy my magazine.
Oh, so they're business roses?
Yeah, business roses.
Oh...
'Kay.
Yeah.
Mademoiselle.
Oh, merci.
Remember that picnic we had here?
Yeah, I remember a lot of ants.
And that little dog who stole our sandwiches?
And a thunderstorm.
So, what was your husband like?
My ex? My ex-husband?
Your ex-husband,
what was your ex-husband like?
Um, pretty much... The opposite of you.
Ouch.
No, you know, I think
I just didn't want to be reminded of you.
Or us.
Anyway, it didn't last long.
Well, I'm sorry about that.
No, it's fine.
It's almost as old-news as us.
Plus, I got Alexa out of it, so I'm grateful for that.
Yeah, you should be.
I'm going to go out on a limb
and guess you never said, "I do"?
I did not.
Still dodging the commitment thing, huh?
No, I'm very much committed.
I'm committed to the hotel.
You two seem very happy together.
Yeah, we have a great relationship.
You know, we have our ups and downs,
but, uh... all in all,
we are pretty good.
Voila.
How did you know they'd be here?
JP teaches tango lessons here
on mondays.
Ah. Well, you could have just told me that.
Yeah, I could have just told you that.
Mom?
Alexa.
This is so embarrassing.
You weren't answering your phone.
My battery's dead.
I'm sorry, madame, we lost track of the time.
Where did you learn to tango?
My grandfather is from Argentina,
but after he and my grandmother divorce,
he move here.
Oh, he lost his dance partner?
He lost all his dance partners.
That is why he and my grandmother divorce.
Ah-ah-ah...
Aw, yes...
- Oh, no. - Yes.
- Oh, no, no, no... - Yes. Come on...
No, Jack, I don't remember...
You remember.
I don't...
Yeah, just feel it.
Feeling it?
There you go. Spin around.
Do you like it?
Wait a minute, wait, here it...
Oh! Oh, no... Okay, whoa.
Easy, now. Easy.
Okay...
Yes, I like it. I like it.
Oh...
Here we go.
Ah, yes.
And then, give it to me one more time.
Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Rayce,
have a great night.
All right, so my footwork might be a little bit off.
A little?
Jack...
There you are.
You promised to take me to dinner.
Oh, was that tonight?
No, but I am here.
Um, Lindsey and Alexa, this is Nicole.
His girlfriend.
So nice to meet you.
And how are you enjoying our city?
Oh, you know what they say,
a bad day in Paris
is better than a good day anywhere else.
How charming.
Come on, mom, we have that thing.
Right. We have a thing.
So...
Where do you want to go?
Wherever you want.
Um...
I was thinking Italian.
Okay.
Mm-hmm?
You okay?
Of course, I'm okay.
Why wouldn't i be okay?
Just checking.
Look who's worrying about who.
You guys just looked so cute, dancing.
You said we looked terrible.
But you were terrible together.
Yeah, well, we're not together.
Look at that.
The city of lights.
The city of love.
Let's just stick with city of lights.
And the best chocolate ever?
Ooh...
Well, "we'll always have chocolate."
Mm! Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
I hope it doesn't go by too quickly.
It will.
I have our whole day planned.
I'd expect nothing else.
First, we'll see the Rue du Tertre.
There's a secret little corner I want to show you.
Maybe we should invite Jack.
No, no, no, he's seen it all.
Yeah, that's right, I have seen it all.
Hey, uh, Jean Paul, you mind
saving some of these pastries
for some of our other guests?
Thank you.
Ladies, how was your evening?
Good.
And dinner with Nicole?
Oh, uh...
You know, dinner's dinner.
Would you like another croissant?
Oh, no, you were going to save those
for the other guests.
Yeah.
Hey, um, you should know
this, uh, thing, with, uh, Nicole and I,
it-it's nothing serious, it's just casual.
Okay.
Yeah, you know, it's only been, like, uh, a few weeks.
Okay.
That's actually, uh, that's not true,
it's been a little longer than that.
Cas'.
Yes. Casual.
Because you're committed to your hotel.
Yes... correct.
So, I thought we'd start with the Rue du Tertre,
and then see the louvre.
Mom...
You are not going to believe
how small that Mona Lisa is.
Are we not going to talk about this whole Jack thing?
No.
Because I'm here for you.
And that's the only reason.
Speaking of which, um,
could you be a little... Less there for me?
Okay, maybe a little.
Can I get you anything, ladies?
JP, if you're free tomorrow,
we'd like to invite you to an art show.
I'm totally free.
I thought you might be.
It's just like I pictured it!
It hasn't changed at all.
Did you come here a lot?
All the time.
I used to come here and paint.
Maybe one day, I'll come set up here, too.
Excusez-moi, monsieur?
Est-ce-que c'est possible que-tu te souviens de moi?
Pink easel?
I used to come here
a long, long time ago.
Mais oui...
The pink easel, I remember.
With a young artist behind it,
she wanted to paint all of montmartre.
We artists, we are just children
who refuse to lay down their crayons, non?
Kathryn!
I wasn't sure you'd come back.
I wasn't going to,
but something Lindsey said made me change my mind.
Well, I am charming when you get to know me.
Whatever she said, I'm glad you're back.
I was working on your portrait.
Oh, may I have a look?
No, no, no, no, no...
You, uh, can see it at the show.
You're putting it in a show?
You can't be serious.
Tomorrow. You come, hmm?
Actually, I was planning on leaving tomorrow.
So soon?
I really only came to see it all again.
Oh, you've seen it all, huh?
Non...
Well, there is one more place.
Yeah?
Pont Neuf.
Oh, Pont Neuf!
The last love locks bridge.
I hear they're cutting off the locks.
Yes, tragic.
15 years ago,
James surprised me with an antique lock,
heart-shaped,
inscribed with our names.
We were likely the oldest couple on that bridge.
I thought I'd try to find it and bring it back with me.
Well, then let's go.
Now?
Yes, now.
What better time?
Oh, but surely,
it would be a fool's errand.
Then you have the right man for the job.
Yes, we'll go, we will find it.
It doesn't matter.
Well, it matters to you.
And besides, I have a confession to make.
You have a lock hanging there, too?
The love of my life.
But it was not meant to be.
I'm sorry.
Yes, well, the time we had was short,
but it was magic.
So, how long
did you and your James have together?
My whole life.
I envy you both.
Mom? What is it?
Nothing.
Oh, hey!
Bonjour.
Uh, madame?
I am on lunch break,
may I take you and Alexa to the cafe?
Aw...
That's so sweet, but, um,
my mom and I have plans.
Thank you, though.
Of course.
Another time.
You know, you two should go.
No.
Yes.
I have to call Maggie at the office anyway.
Go.
Are you sure?
Yes, positive. Go!
Okay, here.
And my phone's charged.
Okay.
How was sightseeing?
Sightseeing was great.
Oh, what have you got here?
Oh, yeah...
The cat guy.
Cat guy.
I... left a couple bikes out there
in case you wanted to show Alexa the old route.
Oh.
Thanks, but she's gone off with JP.
Again?
I'm gonna have to put that guy on a double shift.
Come on, give me a hand.
Thank you, Jack,
this is very thoughtful.
That's me, monsieur thoughtful.
Help me take these bike inside
in case you and Alexa want to take them out later...
Or... we could go.
Now.
We?
Oui.
All right, you know what, just give me a sec,
I've got to make a quick phone call.
All right, here we go.
Right up here.
What do you mean?
The bikes will be fine.
You sure?
Yeah.
Come on.
Jack, isn't it closed?
Come on.
What have you got up your sleeve?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I won't even ask how you made this happen.
Let's just say I have friends in low places.
Hmm, so nothing's changed.
Nope.
The first time we came here,
you thought "monet" was a champagne.
It isn't?
Thank you for bringing me here.
You know, it was always so crowded before,
I never really saw these.
It's all part of the Paris experience.
Hmm,
you do this for all your guests?
Yeah, of course.
Later this afternoon, I'll be closing down the louvre
for a ping pong tournament.
No, come on,
I've never brought a guest back here.
I've never brought anyone back here.
I'm honored.
What?
Nothing.
Just, looking at you, uh...
I wanted to say three words.
What three words?
"Ooh la la."
"Life is the art of drawing without an eraser."
Who said that?
You did.
What? I mean...
If I said that,
I was probably just quoting Hugo or something.
Yeah, well, it stayed.
I mean, I've made a few decisions
I wish I could erase.
Who hasn't had those?
What happened to those two people that were us?
Life, I guess.
I thought for sure I'd be married by now,
with a couple kids, a dog, maybe two.
Really?
Yeah, one day, but...
"One day" never happened.
Yet.
You know, maybe
you're placing too much expectation on "one day."
Nah. Mm-mm.
It's your fault.
You're a hard act to follow.
Obviously, not that hard, because you didn't follow... me.
Where's that eraser when you need it?
Pardon, monsieur?
Oh. Yeah, okay.
Come on, we gotta go.
No, they're...
They're gonna wax the floors.
Come on.
Lindsey, come on!
Yeah, and have it by then.
We should have the contracts signed...
Merci.
By Monday. Perfect.
That is great. Okay.
Lindsey!
Trent?
I wanted to surprise you.
Well, you-you did.
What a surprise.
Your assistant said you were staying here,
and I thought it would be convenient.
Wow... How-how great.
- You look beautiful. - Thank you.
Come, let's have a drink.
Great, okay.
Come on.
All right, well,
take care of his bags, I guess.
Throw them in the street?
Yeah.
I'm kidding. Bring 'em in.
Right this way, just watch your step.
There we go.
Oops, sorry, it's, uh, a little narrow in here.
And we're just back here.
Here we are.
Grab that, thanks.
Okay...
Voila, huh?
Huh...
This is cozy.
Where should I put this?
Uh, the hallway?
Can't you find him a better room?
Yeah, uh, no, sorry, we're all booked up.
Valentine's Day.
That's not for a while yet.
Ah, well, you know Paris, any excuse to celebrate love.
Thank you, sir.
Um...
On the chance that you're free tonight,
I did make us reservations for the three of us
at the St. germain.
Oh, man, I can't make it.
I'm so sorry, I'm working the front desk tonight.
I meant Lindsey and her daughter.
Oh...
Duh, of course, you did.
I'm sorry about that.
Um, anything else I can help you with?
We're good, thank you.
Uh, you know what, that's fine.
You're gonna need it if you're going to St. germain,
and if I were you, I would not order the fish.
Great, thank you very much.
Excuse me,
tight fit.
Okay...
This is something, huh?
Wow, this room is so small...
I'm not even sure it's a room.
You know, I've been in smaller.
Really?
Never.
So, I hope it's all right that I'm here.
I just thought
it was really the perfect opportunity
to show you our Paris office.
You are persistent.
Well...
Maybe, um, maybe after dinner?
Hold on one second.
Yup. Trent.
Mm-hmm.
Well, I mean, it's not a great time, but, uh...
You know, we...
Yeah, no, it's okay. Sorry, hold on...
It's okay...
Mm-hmm. Yup, mm-hmm.
Uh, well, you tell them
when I'm back in the states that...
Hugo...
Bonsoir, Nicholas.
Please...
Merci.
Well, I'm sorry
that we couldn't find your lock.
Here, let me.
Thank you.
It was good of you to indulge me.
I don't know what I was thinking.
Well, you were thinking about love,
which does strange things to everyone.
So maybe I go back to the bridge,
and I take a flashlight
and bolt cutters.
No, if you do, you'll be arrested.
Well, it won't be the first time.
Oh, dear.
It makes me happy when you laugh.
It's been a while.
How long has it been
since you've had a... A decadent, uh...
Meal?
Dessert.
Nicholas!
Chocolat!
Oui, monsieur. Tout de suite.
You will love this.
I'm really sorry that Alexa couldn't join us.
Merci.
Well, she didn't want to intrude,
and also,
she's busy falling in love with someone
she's only known two days.
Well, who hasn't done that, right?
Are you trying to sweep me off my feet
so you can get my magazine?
Please tell me it's working.
One foot's off the ground.
To the other foot.
Oh.
You are good.
Lindsey, how about we don't talk business tonight?
Oh. Oh... Oh, so this would be a...
Some might call it a "date."
Right, one of those.
Or not...
No, no, no, we could...
No, we could call it a date, yeah.
Okay. Good.
I'm sorry, I'm a little... I'm a little out of practice.
Actually, I am, too, so...
Why do I find that hard to believe?
It's true.
I, uh... I work, like, 24/7,
and, really, I am trying to change that.
Starting about 30 seconds ago.
How am I doing?
Pretty good.
- You think? - Mm-hmm.
Caviar...
Oh, look at this.
- Very good. - Yeah?
♪ Coo-coo...
You're always working.
Oh, really?
I always feel like I'm not working enough.
I see she's more
than just a hotel guest.
Oh, this?
Oh, come on, it was a lifetime ago.
You look happy.
Yeah, well, everybody looks happy in sketches.
But not everyone digs up old pictures.
All right, well, you know,
maybe seeing her here
has stirred up some old memories,
but I told you, it was a lifetime ago.
When is she leaving?
Um... a couple of days.
Is it possible she could leave sooner?
Come on, her life is in New York.
That's good,
because...
I am going to Milan next weekend,
and I want you to come with me.
Milan, wow...
Uh, I wish I could, but...
The hotel.
I can't.
Of course, you can, it's your hotel.
Uh, coming!
I'm sorry.
All right, you are all set.
Here are your keys, Owen has your bags,
and enjoy your stay.
Merci, monsieur.
Hey!
How was St. germain?
Well, you were right,
we should not have ordered the fish.
I told you.
Oh, Trent, this is my daughter.
Oh, it is nice to meet you, Alexa.
You, too.
- And you've already met JP. - Of course.
Thank you for that generous tip, sir.
So, what have you two been up to tonight?
Oh, we had so much fun.
We had bread and cheese.
And we walked along the seine.
Oh, don't forget the rock.
Oh, we found this rock that's shaped like a heart!
It's good luck.
What did you guys do?
We had an amazing dinner,
and an amazing dessert,
and then Trent showed me his offices here, which are...
Amazing?
Oh, hey!
Guys, here is my girlfriend, Nicole,
who is also amazing.
Ah, party in the lobby!
Ah, and this is Kathryn Daltry.
Hello.
Yes, the exquisite Kathryn Daltry.
Oh, Hugo, you are too kind.
Ah, well, no one's ever accused me of that before.
Agreed.
And this is Hugo blanchett the artist.
Well, I'm more than that, but it will do for now.
Hugo, pleasure to meet you Trent Greer.
Bonjour, Mr. Greer.
Hugo is Alexa's painting teacher.
Yours too.
I did not know you painted.
Well, it's sad to say, she's given it up.
Hugo took me to Pont Neuf.
We searched for hours for my lock.
You have a lock on the bridge?
Mm-hmm, I thought I might find it
before the city cuts them off.
Cuts them off?
Yes, well, they have their reasons, I suppose.
That's awful.
It's just a bridge, sweetie.
Yeah, but all those promises.
I admit,
I'm sentimental about it, too.
Uh, innkeeper,
uh, uh, drinks for all my friends.
Just put it on my tab.
Hugo, you don't have a tab.
Well, what better time to start one.
Did you decide?
About what?
The magazine.
Actually, we didn't even talk about it.
So it was a date?
Kind of.
What about Jack?
What about him?
So, I get to call dad and tell him
you're not just seeing somebody,
but two somebodies.
I am not!
And don't you dare.
I'm gonna!
Alexa, my company is sponsoring a concert series
at le zenith next weekend,
and I thought I would leave two tickets
for you and JP at will call.
If your mom is okay with that.
Yeah. Yeah, thank you.
That's so nice.
Great. Great. Um, I have to run,
but, um, you sure you won't come with me?
Thanks, but we're helping Hugo set up for his show.
Right, right, what time is that?
4:00 P.M. Les Archives.
- The Archives? - The Archives.
Okay.
I have a 4:00 editor's meeting,
but I will, uh, I will meet you there.
Sounds like a plan.
Terrific.
Okay, I'm on my way.
Uh, would you mind
taking these to Hugo for me? Thanks.
What is it?
Um, they're croissants.
I lost a bet.
Oh!
Croissants!
- From Jack. - Ah, he's man of honor.
I'm not even going to ask
what the bet was.
Well, there's a good choice.
Hey, where is everything?
Well, it went to the gallery.
They're coming for the last load.
I thought we were going to help.
Well, you are.
You see, this could be your best work.
Hugo...
The first step back is,
you take the brush.
Alexa can finish it.
No, Alexa has her own life to paint,
you need to finish yours.
What if I can't?
Of course you can.
Now, while you are here, allow yourself to be...
The artist.
Hmm?
Take the brush.
Hmm?
And Alexa and I will be putting together the gallery
for a brilliant show...
Right, now, the most important thing
about hanging a painting
is the light.
And, uh...
You can make a really bad painting
look like a masterpiece with the right light, huh?
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, wow.
Art, like love, has no cure,
but if it is true, it will stay with you.
Hmm?
Are you trying
to sell us a painting, Hugo?
Of course! Of course!
But I mean every word.
One day, you'll be hanging your work here.
Maybe. One day.
When the semester's over, you can come to New York?
I can apply to grad school.
We can have the whole summer together,
and I'll show you all the sights,
starting with the statue of Liberty,
which is actually...
French.
Oh, excusez-moi.
Kathryn!
Oh, Hugo.
You made it.
Well, I realized it was something
I just did not want to miss.
I'm so happy you came.
Come, I'll show you something.
Okay.
Oh...
Yes?
Oh, wow.
Oh, did I make you cry?
Oh...
Hmm?
You've made me, uh...
You've made me look so full of life, and...
Well, I paint what I see.
It's just that, um,...
It's just that I've felt so sad, and...
Well, look,
you can see both.
Life and love, it's complicated.
That's what makes it great.
Thank you, Hugo.
Mon plaisir, madame.
Oh, yeah, there we go,
I see it, yup.
It's a hamburger and a spatula.
Oh, no, wait a minute,
it's a grilled cheese and a spatula.
You must be hungry.
It's supposed to be two people in love,
at least that's what Hugo says.
Oh, yeah, okay, I see it now...
- Really? - No.
I didn't know you were coming.
Yeah, uh, Hugo invited me.
Huh.
Where's Nicole?
Um, he said there wasn't enough room
for a plus-one.
Hmm.
He never gives up.
There's something to be said about that.
Where's your plus-one?
He had business, he'll be here later.
Great.
So... publishing.
Yup.
Yup, publishing.
Let me guess how you guys met.
It's a quaint little bookshop in soho.
You walk in, your eyes meet,
you both reach for the same renoir book...
Close.
Editors' convention, 500 people.
Oh, hot.
Be still my beating heart.
How did you and Nicole meet?
Um, sort of a similar romantic story.
We were both in the waiting area
of a dental office.
Hmm! Hmm.
You remember how we met?
Art history class.
No, actually, we met before that.
Really?
Yeah.
You were painting on the pont des arts bridge.
I pedaled past you, you smiled, waved.
I don't remember that.
Yeah, that's the whole reason I enrolled
in that art history class.
How come you never told me that?
Well, I am now.
Mom!
JP's coming to New York for summer break!
Wow.
I know, right? And...
- There's more? - Lots more.
Look what he gave me.
Don't be a ring... - It's gonna be a ring...
A lock.
We're putting it on the bridge,
and I don't care if they cut it off,
or melt it down...
It's ours.
Hello!
Mesdames et messieurs!
Thank you!
Thank you all for joining me here today,
my friends, my colleagues.
We have shared many moments together,
some good, some not so good...
But, as the great John w. Gardner said,
"life is the art of drawing without the eraser."
Many of you have asked me what defines my art...
What a question. I can't answer.
Art is not what you see,
but what you make others see.
So, eat, drink, enjoy the work,
and if you find something you can't live without,
don't!
You, uh, see anything
you can't live without?
Hey.
So, um, are you going to tell her?
What?
That you're still in love with her.
I couldn't help but notice.
No.
I'm not going to tell her.
Jack...
We rarely get a second chance.
Her life is there,
my life is here.
What...
What's the point? She's leaving.
So you're just going to bury your feelings?
Yeah.
It's been working for me so far.
Has it?
Because in all the years I've stayed at your hotel,
you've been alone.
Or with a different girl
that you don't seem to care all that much about.
Kathryn!
Someone wants to buy your portrait.
Oh, dear.
Have they had too much champagne?
Well, I told them it's not for sale,
but they want to meet you anyway.
Aw...
Pardon, Jack.
Well, looks like my plus-one
just turned into a minus-one.
Work.
Well, here's to the pluses and the minuses.
Well, Hugo should be happy.
Yeah, sold out.
I wish I could do that at the hotel.
Uh, you were sold out
the night Trent checked in.
Oh... right, about that.
You gave him that room on purpose.
What? No. I would never...
Yes, you did!
All right, I'm sorry...
No, you're not.
Hey, you know, that room isn't even that small.
It was a closet.
I've stayed in rooms way smaller than that.
- Seriously? - Yeah!
You remember my dorm room.
Oh, yeah, that was bad.
Oh, remember that poster you had
of the dogs playing poker?
I still have it, I love that poster.
That little bulldog?
That bulldog who's holding the pocket Ace
in his little, um... uh... hand?
Paw?
Foot? Whatever.
That dog can handle his cards.
Oh, boy...
Here we go.
Oh... you, me, locks,
and a bridge.
I feel like we've done this before.
Too many locks, not enough keys.
You know, I didn't drop that lock on purpose that day.
I was scared.
I know.
I guess I could have jumped on a plane to New York,
made some grand romantic gesture.
I waited too long.
We had our moment, and I let it slip away.
We both did.
I could gotten a job at a hotel in New York.
I could have come here.
So, what stopped us?
Maybe that's all we were supposed to be.
Thank you for a nice night.
Hey, you wouldn't happen to be hungry
by any chance?
Starving.
Ah. Come on, follow me.
Hey, you still throwing pasta up on the ceiling?
Of course. You?
That's the only way to know if it's done.
Nice to know some things never change.
Well, change is good, right?
Eh...
Doesn't really sound like a ringing endorsement.
I guess I'm scared.
Of what?
Losing control of everything.
You know, I'm saying goodbye to Alexa.
If I say goodbye to my business,
what do I have left?
Yourself?
Okay, so if someone wanted to buy your hotel,
would you sell it?
Well... that would depend on how much they were offering.
You know, I could always start a new hotel.
So much for that commitment.
No, come on.
Lindsey, these are things, okay?
Things... things can be replaced.
People can't.
Yeah, but what if that thing is who you are?
This isn't who you are.
You hardly know me anymore, Jack.
Uh... I think I do.
You're that girl on the bridge
with her paintbox and big dreams.
Yeah, well, all that's left of that dream
is a magazine about other people's art.
It sounds like you've got to learn to let go.
All right?
If you can't let go,
then you'll never get to the other side.
Trust me, I should know.
This is nice.
Yeah.
Anytime.
There you are.
Oh.
How was your meeting?
It was good, it was good...
I'm sorry I missed the show,
and I was hoping to take you to dinner,
but I see that I'm a little late.
Oh, yeah, this was...
This was just kind of spur of the moment.
Listen, uh, on the bright side,
I switched you to another room.
Oh, good. Uh, smaller, right?
No, no, uh...
A suite,
compliments of the owner.
I appreciate that, thank you.
Um, Jack... Is the bar open?
Absolutely.
As soon as I put on an apron.
Great.
We can turn pov
into something bigger and better,
and isn't that what you wanted when you started it?
Uh, I'm pretty sure when I started,
all I wanted was to pay the rent.
That won't be a problem anymore.
And my staff?
I can take some of them on.
How about all of them?
Do you have an office dog you want us take on as well?
No, but there's a pigeon that lives on the window ledge.
Hmm. All right, pigeon gets a corner office,
but that's as far as I go.
Does anyone ever say no to you?
Mm...
That's great.
You, actually, still have not said yes.
Now, Lindsey, I get it.
I mean, this magazine is your baby.
Yeah, well...
Babies grow up, right?
They leave the nest and fly away,
and maybe...
Maybe it's time for me to say goodbye.
Is that a yes?
That's...
That's a yes.
I'm in.
Congratulations.
I am so thrilled, that's wonderful.
Thank you.
Sorry, couldn't help but overhear.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Well, thank you very much, Jack,
and I say,
we go and celebrate.
Now?
Mm-hmm. Top of the Eiffel Tower.
I made us a reservation
on the chance you would say yes.
Well, once again, sorry to interrupt,
but the Eiffel Tower is gonna be closed.
Not tonight it's not.
Ah, you must have friends in high places.
Thankfully I do. So...?
You know, if you don't mind,
I think I'll go for a walk.
I've got a lot to think about.
Sure, that's probably...
Sure. A good idea.
Goodnight. And goodnight.
Goodnight.
Sorry to call you so late.
Is everything all right?
Well, I hope so.
You found it.
Oh...
I never thought I'd see it again.
Thank you.
Oh, you're up.
And...
I want details.
Starting with the moment I saw you leave the gallery,
with Jack.
Uh...
Do I interrogate you when you come in late?
Are you kidding?
We walked, we talked, we ate,
Trent showed up, and...
I decided to sell the magazine.
What?
Mom, are you sure?
I've been trying to keep everything the same,
you, our life.
But things change.
They grow up,
and that's okay.
I'm proud of you.
It's going to be great.
I know it.
Thanks, sweetie.
Wow...
Look at you.
A few days ago, you were in the lonely apartment,
hiding art in the closet,
and now you are in Paris,
with two men half in love with you.
No one's in love with me,
not even half in love with me.
Jack is.
That's ridiculous.
Is it?
Oh, you've been in Paris four days,
and you're an expert on love?
I'm an expert on you.
I was hoping to see you
before I left.
Look...
You found it!
Hugo did.
After the show,
he went back with a flashlight
and searched for hours.
I'm so glad.
You know, I thought I'd be sad if I saw it again,
but it's just the opposite.
It reminds me of how happy James and I were
on that bridge.
I found something
I thought was lost forever.
Hope.
He was the love of my life,
and I know he'd want me to find love again.
I'm sure he would.
And you should, too, my dear.
Is he what you're looking for?
Or is he just an excuse
to avoid what's really in your heart?
I'm not sure what you mean.
I think you do.
If you loved someone enough to keep away from Paris,
then nothing should keep you from that love.
Oh, my goodness, listen to me...
One rusted lock, and I'm giving out advice.
It just goes by so quickly.
Paris?
Life.
Hi!
I just wanted to say goodbye!
I have a feeling you'll be seeing a lot more of her here.
Yes, well, it's just a train ride away,
and I do love the train.
When I come back, I'd love to see all your paintings.
I'll give you a private showing.
Brilliant.
And when do you leave?
Tonight.
Well, you'll have to let me know how it all turns out.
Oh, I'm sure Hugo will be giving you every last detail.
I'm counting on it.
I'm so glad we're doing this.
One last walk.
Don't say "one last walk."
Did I say "last"?
I meant, "first walk of the last day."
You've come a long way, mom.
We've come a long way.
Oh, look at all this love!
I wonder how many of these people
are actually still together.
All of them.
In some way.
That's not what you said last time.
Well, maybe I'm less un-romantic than I thought.
"Less un-romantic."
Double-negative.
You do realize that means... Romantic.
You're supposed to fall in love in Paris.
Okay, uh, let's hit the louvre.
Or, um...
We'll take a selfie
at the clock tower at the sorbonne,
unless you did that last time you were here.
"Selfie?"
We didn't have selfies.
We didn't have phones.
You're old.
Don't worry, I'll be with her every day.
Not helping, JP.
I just mean I will look after her.
Thank you.
That means a lot.
I'll leave you two to say goodbye.
- Bon voyage. - A la prochaine.
I like him.
I love him.
I know.
You're not going to talk me out of it?
I couldn't anyway.
And no.
This whole trip, it's been...
So much fun.
You sure you don't want me to stay
and help you set up your room?
Did I hear a helicopter?
I'll make your bed with hospital corners.
I appreciate that, but, um...
It's time for me to make my own bed.
Now, go. You have just enough time
to say bye to Hugo before your flight.
I love you.
I love you, too, sweetie.
I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Mom...
Did I say tomorrow? I meant the next day.
Hi!
Hugo!
Mm? Good!
I thought you sold out.
Well, I always keep a few of my favorites,
you know that.
Your best work.
So far.
You really do always say that.
Well, this time, it might even be true.
What do you think will happen when all the locks come off?
Well, people always find a way
to show love.
You know, music, art.
Maybe even the ineloquent words
of a sappy teenager,
or an aging artist, or...
A hotel owner.
Want me to ship it to you?
Keep it here.
Good, I was hoping you'd say that.
I have a special place for it.
Good, then I'll see it when I come back.
I'll count the days.
Me too.
I'm going to miss you, Hugo.
I know.
Take care of my girl.
Oh, she will do fine.
You did.
There we go.
Great.
Well, thank you again for the upgrade.
Don't mention it.
And I'll be sure to recommend the hotel
to all my associates.
And we will be sure to put all of your magazines
in our lobby.
Oh, you'll need a bigger lobby for that.
Hey, good luck with everything.
Yeah, you too.
Oh.
Yup.
Oh, hold on one sec. There she is.
I'll see you when I'm back in New York.
- Great. - Bye-bye.
I'll see you then.
Bye.
So...
This is it, I guess.
Yeah, I guess, uh...
I guess it is.
Um, Lindsey, I got you a little something
before you go.
You shouldn't have.
I've been holding onto it long enough,
and now it's your turn.
You kept it?
I always thought it'd be worth something someday.
Um...
Listen, Lindsey...
I...
I just wanted to say that...
I'm...
I'm in...
Jack!
It's starting to snow.
I heard you were leaving.
Yes.
Do come back and visit us someday.
I will.
Goodbye, Jack.
Goodbye, Lindsey.
And... I'm back.
Five-letter word for "Valentine..."
"Cupid."
Nine-letter word for "heartbreak..."
"Artichoke."
You're back!
I'm back!
And I brought you chocolate and perfume.
Hmm, not a boyfriend?
Sorry.
Hi!
How's Alexa?
Are you sad?
Actually, I'm okay.
So there's a cure for empty nest syndrome.
There's no cure, but there is Skype.
Hey, guys.
So, you really said yes to Trent.
I really did,
and if you want to stay on with the magazine, you can.
Are you kidding me?
I can't believe I'm going to be working
with the hottest guy on the planet.
Because that is the most important thing.
I'm sure I'll get tired of looking at him,
after 10 or 20 years.
He's here.
Send him in.
Hey...
Hey, you.
Come here.
Wow, so...
You ready for all this?
About that...
What, you didn't change your mind, did you?
No, the magazine's still yours,
to make bigger and better.
Great.
It's just...
I'm not staying on.
What?
What? Why? What happened?
Paris, I guess.
The truth is,
I started an art magazine
because I wasn't brave enough to be an artist.
Whoa...
I've never really admitted that out loud before. Um...
I... I want to paint again.
And I know I may not be good enough.
Maybe I'll just end up with a cat
sketching people in the park,
but at least I'll have tried.
Paint?
Yeah.
You're sure about all this?
No.
But I'm doing it anyway.
So I get the magazine, but...
But not you.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, me too.
I guess someone can say no to me.
I doubt it'll ever happen again.
Yeah.
Okay. All right.
Wow.
Um, you should probably have your lawyers
check that out,
and, uh...
That'll be that.
Goodbye, Lindsey.
Goodbye.
All right.
Hey, Nicole, can I come see you?
We need to talk.
About us.
Tell me you're not alone on Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day...
Is that today?
Mom, JP and I put our lock on the bridge today.
It was beautiful,
and I don't care if they cut it off.
People will always find a way to show their love.
'Lex? Uh, I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Have fun with JP tonight, okay?
Happy Valentines Day. I love you.
I love you, too.
Jack?
Hey.
Uh, happy Valentine's Day.
What are you doing here?
This is, uh...
This is a grand romantic gesture gone awry.
It's freezing!
Get inside!
Okay... okay, yeah...
Okay, I got it.
Okay. Okay...
I thought...
I thought you were going to notice me
a lot sooner than that.
Wow...
No one does romance quite like you.
No one does romance quite like us.
Business flowers?
These are definitely not business flowers.
Okay, I...
I should have come to follow you 20 years ago,
I should have come to follow you two days ago.
But I'm here now.
And I'm asking for another chance.
I think something can be arranged.
Now, that's your best work.
Hugo... you always say that.
Hey!
We're heading back to campus, do you wanna grab lunch first?
Oh, thanks, sweetie,
but I think I'm going to stay and finish this.
Have fun.
Beautiful, madame.
Thank you, JP.
I'll see you Monday?
Tango Monday.
Young love.
Nothing like it.
Well, old love's not so bad.
Hey, will you close up for me?
I have to meet Kathryn for tea.
Tea?
Well, she's having tea, I'm having everything but.
Uh... Rouge.
More red on the bridge, hmm?
Salut.
This looks familiar.
Yes, it does.
Shall we try this again?
Yes, and this time, `brought extra locks.
How many?
Lots.
Good.
All right, this is it.
Any last words?
Just those three.
"Ooh la la"?
Uh, no.
I was thinking...
"I love you."
I love you, too.
Well, it may have taken us a while...
But we got here.
We did.
