French Businessman:
[walks up to the front desk]
Bonjour, monsieur. Vous Ãtes FranÃais? Vous parlez FranÃais?
[Hello, sir. Are you French, do you speak French?]
Michel:
No, sorry.
French Businessman:
Mais vous avez une accent FranÃais. Vous parlez pas FranÃais?
[but you have a French accent. Don't you speak French?]
Michel:
Sir, I'm just a simple country boy from Texas. I do not understand this "FranÃais" business you're babbling about.
Lorelai:
[approaches]
Pardon.
[takes Michel aside]
Lorelai:
He knows you are not from Texas.
Michel:
[looking over at the businessmen]
Smile when you say that.
Lorelai:
Michel, I told you there would be a French group here for a couple of days, and it's your job to keep them happy.
Michel:
Lorelai, I don't know how many French people you've met over the years, but most of them are insufferable.
Lorelai:
[sarcastically]
Really?
Michel:
Mm. That is why I left France.
Lorelai:
Huh. I thought it had something to do with the torches and the villagers. Michel, talk to them.
Michel:
Never.
[turns away from Lorelai, she just glares at him]
Michel:
You are giving me that look, aren't you? Your patented "Do it or something unspeakable shall befall you" look.
[pause, sighs]
Michel:
Fine, I shall be French, but I shall not be happy.
Lorelai:
Then you will be yourself. Good choice.
Michel:
[trudges over to the businessmen]
Bonjour, messieurs. Je m'appelle Michel, ce soir pour vous aider.
[Hello, gentlemen, my name is Michel, I am here to assist you]
French Businessman:
[laughs]
Vous avez fait un blague to?t . l'heure! TrËs drÙle, trËs drÙle, Michel!
[you played a joke just now! Very funny, very funny!]
French Businessman:
[kisses both his cheeks]
Michel:
[pretends to laugh, to Lorelai]
Kill me now.
