Good Year A

en
00:01:23 Max!
00:01:24 Uh-huh?
00:01:25 Ready to concede?
00:01:27 No!
00:01:43 I thought as it's
00:01:45 ...it only appropriate that we
00:01:50 Bandol.
00:01:51 Excellent choice.
00:01:52 Tempier Bandol, 1969.
00:01:57 The kind of wine that'll pickle
00:02:00 I once saw a Castilian prizefighter...
00:02:05 ...collapse in a heap...
00:02:06 ...after drinking just a single glass.
00:02:09 Perhaps my knee landing
00:02:13 ...may have been partly to blame.
00:02:16 What was I talking about before?
00:02:18 You said the importance
00:02:20 ...can never be overstated.
00:02:21 Quite right.
00:02:22 A blue suit is the most
00:02:25 More important
00:02:27 ...is the man who fits it for you.
00:02:29 Once you find a good tailor...
00:02:31 ...you must never
00:02:33 ...not even under the threat...
00:02:35 ...of bodily harm.
00:02:39 (music continues in background)
00:02:43 Now, where were we?
00:02:45 - Whose turn is it?
00:02:46 Uh-huh.
00:02:51 Uh-huh.
00:02:53 Max, have I told you why I enjoy...
00:02:56 - Making wine so much?
00:02:57 ...make the wine, Uncle Henry,
00:03:00 In France,
00:03:02 ...who makes the wine.
00:03:04 Even though he does
00:03:07 ...with binoculars
00:03:10 No, I enjoy making wine
00:03:14 ...is quite simply incapable of lying.
00:03:17 Picked too early,
00:03:20 The wine will always whisper
00:03:23 ...with complete,
00:03:25 ...every time you take a sip.
00:03:30 Mmm...
00:03:32 ...delightful.
00:03:33 Now, Maximillian...
00:03:35 ...now you know why
00:03:38 ...have you anything
00:03:41 Yes, I do.
00:03:42 Yes, what is it?
00:03:48 Checkmate.
00:03:50 You little shit.
00:04:08 - Good morning, lab rats.
00:04:11 Today we're shifting gear.
00:04:13 Today... is Greedy Bastard Day.
00:04:18 The secret to riches, lab rats...
00:04:20 ...is the same as the secret to comedy...
00:04:24 ...timing.
00:04:26 - 115.10, Max.
00:04:29 So I thought we should move now.
00:04:31 - Not yet, Alf.
00:04:33 ...why do you keep calling me Alf?
00:04:34 Because you're an aggressive
00:04:36 And as your boss...
00:04:37 ...and genetic superior...
00:04:39 I can call you whatever I want.
00:04:42 Max Skinner's phone.
00:04:43 It's Kimberly.
00:04:45 Yeah. One moment, please.
00:04:46 It's Kimberly.
00:04:50 - Sorry, Kimberly, Max isn't here.
00:04:53 He and his fiancée...
00:04:54 ...are at their wedding
00:04:56 - Their what?
00:04:58 No, I don't want
00:05:00 Okay.
00:05:02 115.90...
00:05:04 116...
00:05:07 116.10.
00:05:08 All right, lab rats,
00:05:09 ...we're not here for the dental plan.
00:05:11 50 big!
00:05:14 Sell.
00:05:20 That's yours!
00:05:25 I said that's yours!
00:05:33 That miserable sod Skinner's
00:05:34 - Onto the market.
00:05:36 There's a gentleman's agreement
00:05:38 A gentleman's agreement presupposes...
00:05:40 - There's a gentleman involved.
00:05:42 ...he put out $5 billion
00:05:44 - Crashing through the floor!
00:05:46 ...people, get off your asses!
00:05:47 Come on, step to it!
00:05:49 - Sell!
00:05:54 They should bury you
00:05:56 ...because that's the way you're going.
00:06:04 Free big figures to 113.50!
00:06:09 Sell! Sell!
00:06:10 Still going down.
00:06:12 Buy.
00:06:13 Fuckin' buy it all back!
00:06:15 Buy it all back immediately!
00:06:17 Buy it all back!
00:06:18 Don't worry about it!
00:06:20 You're a genius, Max!
00:06:25 Filthy bugger,
00:06:26 He's gonna buy everything back
00:06:28 Start buying!
00:06:30 Buying now! Start buying!
00:06:43 - I can!
00:06:45 Well done today, lab rats.
00:06:48 Wonderful work.
00:06:49 We all made
00:06:53 Today we proved the adage that...
00:06:55 ...winning isn't everything...
00:06:57 It's the only thing!
00:07:09 And there were strange goings-on...
00:07:11 ...on the bond market today.
00:07:12 Prices crashed to 112.5,
00:07:17 ...unloaded $3 billion in sell orders.
00:07:20 Then in an extraordinary
00:07:23 ...at a substantially
00:07:25 ...making over $77 million...
00:07:27 - in the process.
00:07:30 Cries of foul play were loud...
00:07:31 ...and widespread, with talks
00:07:36 Morning, Mr. Skinner.
00:07:38 - Morning, Bert.
00:07:40 - Thank you.
00:07:42 Mr. Skinner.
00:07:43 I'll give you a tip, Bert:
00:07:45 Never pat a burning dog.
00:07:49 Wanker.
00:08:39 Oh, Henry, bloody hell.
00:08:43 Ready for the fan mail?
00:08:45 Shoot, sunshine.
00:08:47 - "Bastard."
00:08:49 "Bastard."
00:08:50 Uh-huh.
00:08:50 - "Burn in hell."
00:08:52 "Rot in hell."
00:08:53 Oh. Lovely.
00:08:54 "Die."
00:08:55 Charming.
00:08:56 Maxie?
00:08:57 "Congratulations, you're my hero."
00:08:58 Who said that?
00:09:00 Your lawyer.
00:09:01 - Oh.
00:09:02 I just got off the phone
00:09:05 That's the notaire handling
00:09:08 She the one that sent me the letter?
00:09:09 Yeah.
00:09:11 Anyway, listen,
00:09:15 ...your Uncle Henry...
00:09:16 ...hasn't updated his will...
00:09:18 ...in over 20 years.
00:09:19 Which is why,
00:09:21 ...they take over a month...
00:09:22 ...to notify us.
00:09:23 All right, so what do we do with that?
00:09:25 Is there a reading of the will...
00:09:26 ...or do we just download...
00:09:27 ...that sort of thing these days?
00:09:29 No, that's the point, Max.
00:09:31 Sorry?
00:09:33 There is no legal will.
00:09:35 Really?
00:09:36 You're his closest
00:09:37 - So you get everything.
00:09:40 ...and his Edmundo Ross LPs?
00:09:42 The house, you git.
00:09:44 You get to keep his house.
00:09:46 What, the old farmhouse...
00:09:47 ...and the vineyards and
00:09:49 Place like must be worth
00:09:53 Hey.
00:09:54 - Hmm.
00:09:55 I've booked you a flight...
00:09:58 ...and an appointment with Auzet
00:10:01 Just a few papers to sign.
00:10:03 Come on, I can't go
00:10:04 Gem, I'm the toast of the town.
00:10:06 I need to do
00:10:07 ...around the city,
00:10:09 ...have a late night or two.
00:10:11 ...you heard the mail-
00:10:12 ...when everyone hates you,
00:10:14 Go on, Max-
00:10:15 ...of the place when you're gone.
00:10:17 No problems.
00:10:18 Right.
00:10:19 - Ken.
00:10:21 Why don't you go
00:10:22 ...some small animals to hurt?
00:10:24 I know, find a poodle and
00:10:35 Hmm?
00:10:36 - Tell me something, Max.
00:10:37 Did you care for him?
00:10:40 Yes, I did.
00:10:43 When was the last time you spoke?
00:10:45 A long time ago.
00:10:47 Why?
00:10:48 Well, I don't know, Gemma.
00:10:49 That's probably got
00:10:50 ...with me becoming an asshole.
00:10:54 Okay.
00:11:14 Max!
00:11:15 - Hello, how are you?
00:11:17 - Congratulations.
00:11:19 I'm looking so much forward
00:11:22 Oh, well, follow me.
00:11:28 - Danny, how are you?
00:11:30 - Thank you. Austin.
00:11:32 Say hello to your dad for me.
00:11:33 Oh, love, mm.
00:11:35 - Very well. How are you?
00:11:37 - Hello.
00:11:39 Whoops.
00:11:40 He's adorable.
00:11:46 Mm, magnificent bouquet.
00:11:48 Alluring nose.
00:11:50 Honey and spice.
00:11:51 And all things nice.
00:11:53 Inspection of the polyphenolics
00:11:55 ...of brick red,
00:11:58 It's a burgundy.
00:12:02 Yes, I knew it's burgundy.
00:12:03 One for you, sir?
00:12:04 I think I shall have an eclipse.
00:12:07 - Thank you.
00:12:09 ...our minds off the double
00:12:11 ...and onto the French real estate?
00:12:12 What do you think it's worth?
00:12:13 Max, barely a day has passed
00:12:15 ...of the long-lost uncle's...
00:12:17 ...departure from this world...
00:12:19 ...and all you can think of is money.
00:12:21 The very same uncle you're
00:12:22 ...the man who taught me every man
00:12:24 Okay, when are you gonna
00:12:27 ...because an estate agent
00:12:28 ...he can sink his teeth into.
00:12:30 Well, uh, it's been a while...
00:12:32 ...since I've been there,
00:12:34 ...at least half a dozen
00:12:37 ...court, a decent-sized kitchen...
00:12:39 - Thanks.
00:12:42 Bloody hell, Max, it sounds
00:12:45 What's a château go for these days?
00:12:47 Well, we're obviously in the
00:12:50 - Maybe several.
00:12:51 God bless Henry.
00:12:53 I won't count my commission.
00:12:54 I wouldn't expect you to, Charles.
00:12:56 That's why I'm fond of you.
00:12:57 Well, in that case, Max...
00:12:59 ...here's to you.
00:13:33 Gemma.
00:13:42 Parlez-vous anglais?
00:13:58 - Yeah?
00:13:59 I want the current
00:14:01 I want an update on the figures
00:14:04 ...and I want you to get
00:14:06 ...out of my chair.
00:14:07 Thank you.
00:14:11 How'd he know that?
00:14:18 Lance Armstrong!
00:14:38 Maxie! Hi. How are you?
00:14:40 Gemma, come on, love,
00:14:42 ...because I didn't shag you
00:14:44 - isn't it?
00:14:46 Max, they didn't have
00:14:50 So, where are we, Max?
00:14:52 Oh, for bollocky's sake!
00:14:54 Right, I've gone
00:14:56 - Look, they're both the D-3.
00:14:59 I've got Menerbes on my left,
00:15:01 ...and they're both on the D-3.
00:15:03 - Go! Go!
00:15:05 Okay, okay, hang on a minute.
00:15:08 I've got a...
00:15:09 - Go! Go!
00:15:11 quite frankly,
00:15:15 Okay, listen, you turn left
00:15:17 ...onto the N-7, and if you
00:15:20 ...you might even get
00:15:26 - Bollocks! Bugger!
00:15:32 Mission control.
00:15:33 All right, love,
00:15:35 ...my meeting with the notaire...
00:15:37 ...for first thing tomorrow morning.
00:15:38 Okay.
00:15:39 What about the keys, Max?
00:15:41 - Oh, there used to be a stone, you know.
00:15:43 Uh, by the front door. Ask her to put that...
00:15:46 ...and I'll, um,
00:15:48 Okay, copy that. Copy that.
00:16:12 Huh.
00:17:08 Hello?
00:17:13 Henry?
00:19:03 UNCLE HENRY'S VOICE:
00:19:07 - That's it, Maximillian.
00:19:10 - It's not funny.
00:19:12 What are you, a man or a mouse?
00:19:15 Fine, then, I'm a mouse. Squeak, squeak!
00:19:32 Hopeless, you're hopeless.
00:19:34 Oh, stop it!
00:19:48 Match point.
00:19:51 Ace!
00:19:52 Game! Set!
00:19:54 - Match!
00:19:57 - Hey.
00:19:58 - You have to rub it in?
00:20:00 The point is, Max, why
00:20:03 Because I lost!
00:20:04 Well, a man
00:20:06 ...his losses just as gracefully
00:20:12 Come on, give us a jig.
00:20:13 Give your old uncle a jig.
00:20:15 - Oh, yeah, I lost.
00:20:16 Yeah, great, yeah, I lost! I lost!
00:20:19 - Uncle Henry won!
00:20:21 - Three cheers!
00:20:23 Well done, Uncle Henry.
00:20:24 This is stupid.
00:20:26 You'll come to see...
00:20:29 ...that a man learns
00:20:31 The act of losing, however,
00:20:35 Not least of which is, uh...
00:20:37 ...how much more enjoyable it is to win.
00:20:40 It's inevitable to lose now and again.
00:20:43 The trick is not
00:20:46 Drink?
00:21:09 Chicken shit.
00:21:10 - Excuse me?
00:21:12 On the roses.
00:21:14 Oh, fertilizer.
00:21:16 Oh, Tati.
00:21:18 Hello.
00:21:20 Duflot?
00:21:22 Oui.
00:21:23 - Max.
00:21:24 Haven't you... Matured.
00:21:27 Ah, c'est vrai,
00:21:30 - Right.
00:21:33 - Fanleaf disease in '93.
00:21:35 - Fanleaf disease.
00:21:36 ...corked away another
00:21:40 But I still have my wife, Ludivine.
00:21:41 - Ludivine.
00:21:43 And my dog...
00:21:47 I expect you're hungry, no?
00:21:48 Please, come tonight.
00:21:49 My wife is roasting a lamb- Mmm!
00:21:51 To tell the truth...
00:21:52 I haven't had much
00:21:54 ...since I learned of Henry.
00:21:55 Oh, the very last years,
00:21:58 But I tended to things
00:22:01 We became very close.
00:22:03 Almost like...
00:22:08 Well, I am most appreciative...
00:22:11 ...that someone was here for him.
00:22:13 Well, my wife will
00:22:15 ...with croissants, okay?
00:22:16 Huh? She will resume her duties.
00:22:18 - Allez! Bon!
00:22:33 Hmm.
00:22:37 "Welcome."
00:22:41 Ah.
00:22:43 Don't mind if I do.
00:22:52 Here's to you, Henry.
00:22:53 Devoting your life to the vines...
00:22:57 ...and bottling the truth.
00:23:05 Hmm...
00:23:11 That was honest.
00:23:13 Jesus, ought to have
00:23:25 Ah... Coffee, coffee.
00:23:28 What's in here?
00:23:30 And that?
00:23:33 Piss off.
00:23:39 Hmm.
00:23:41 Morning, Henry.
00:23:43 Milk.
00:23:49 Hmm.
00:23:58 Maxie!
00:23:59 Madame Duflot!
00:24:00 Maxie! Maxie! Maxie!
00:24:06 - Oh...
00:24:25 Morning, Gemma.
00:24:26 Are you enjoying yourself, Max?
00:24:28 Oh, yes, as bereavements go, you know.
00:24:30 This will cheer you up.
00:24:32 You've been busted.
00:24:33 Morning Financial Times headline:
00:24:36 "Lorden Brothers trade
00:24:39 You don't have to worry
00:24:41 The FSA today launched
00:24:44 ...into recent Lorden Brothers
00:24:47 Yes, well, I double-checked
00:24:49 I covered our asses, okay?
00:24:51 It's just bollocks to placate
00:24:53 Oh, he doesn't think so.
00:24:55 - Nigel?
00:24:59 He wants a meeting with you today,
00:25:02 Well, it must be
00:25:04 Um, what time is my meeting
00:25:06 A little over an hour from now.
00:25:08 My time or yours?
00:25:10 Oh, shit.
00:25:11 Oh, Gemma!
00:25:42 Yes?
00:25:43 How's the house, Max?
00:25:45 Well, to tell you
00:25:47 ...it's a little bit shabby.
00:25:48 We don't say shabby, Max.
00:25:49 We say filled with the patina
00:25:52 - How's the wine?
00:25:54 Uh, bouquet of a wet dog.
00:25:55 Hits the palate
00:25:57 ...with a finish that hints of awful.
00:26:00 So the house is falling apart...
00:26:01 ...and the vineyard
00:26:02 Excellent.
00:26:04 One thing you are going
00:26:06 All right, what's that?
00:26:07 It's a sort of licensed wine expert.
00:26:09 They take soil samples- Bits of
00:26:11 ...tests them- There must
00:26:14 And also, I would need
00:26:16 ...to get the punters clamoring...
00:26:17 ...and I have an e-mail address for
00:26:20 Hold on a second.
00:26:23 Okay, shoot.
00:26:24 Provencelistings@
00:26:26 ...abroadproperties. Inc.
00:26:29 Shit.
00:26:30 - Hello?
00:26:34 - Hello?
00:26:37 - Max?
00:27:07 Auzet.
00:27:11 Hello.
00:27:12 Max Skinner.
00:27:14 The vigneron makes the wine...
00:27:17 ...and the estate owner
00:27:21 Mr. Skinner?
00:27:22 Yes, hmm, right, well, delightful.
00:27:25 This is how your uncle
00:27:28 ...worked for over 20 years.
00:27:30 Naturally, Monsieur Duflot...
00:27:31 ...will be anxious
00:27:34 I think I can speed this up.
00:27:37 I have no intention
00:27:40 So let Monsieur Duflot
00:27:44 ...and you enjoy the estate
00:27:47 I'm not sure you understand me.
00:27:48 My life is in London.
00:27:50 I don't do weekends.
00:27:52 I intend to sell La Siroque...
00:27:54 ...as soon as possible.
00:27:55 And what about, uh...
00:27:57 Monsieur and Madame Duflot?
00:27:59 Look, in all cases like this,
00:28:00 ...just comes down to a figure.
00:28:02 Well, if there's nothing else,
00:28:05 Right.
00:28:23 You're selling La Siroque?
00:28:26 There has been a mistake, I think.
00:28:28 News travels fast.
00:28:30 But your uncle...
00:28:32 ...he meant for you to have it...
00:28:34 ...not sell it.
00:28:35 Well, I'm sure if he did...
00:28:36 ...he would have written
00:28:38 He didn't.
00:28:40 You know, Henry was not
00:28:42 He was a man of secrets,
00:28:45 He didn't write things down.
00:28:46 You would take me
00:28:48 My vines, Duflot.
00:28:51 I live in them...
00:28:53 I breathe in them.
00:28:54 They tear my hands.
00:28:56 Look, Francis, when
00:28:59 I do intend to make you
00:29:02 Do you know, monsieur,
00:29:05 ...more than your own life?
00:29:07 To submit your days and nights
00:29:10 I have only a few vintages left.
00:29:12 Soon my body and spirit will
00:29:16 And you would dare come
00:29:18 ...my last few chances of immortality?
00:29:20 Afraid so. Be in touch.
00:29:32 Leaving now.
00:29:34 Oh, good.
00:29:35 'Cause Sir Nigel has made
00:29:37 - Is everything okay?
00:29:39 Good. Oh, did you remember
00:29:42 Yes.
00:29:43 - Damn it!
00:29:45 Idiot.
00:30:39 Let's see you then.
00:30:43 One... Two...
00:30:44 ...and go!
00:31:09 - Yes?
00:31:11 Get off my camera.
00:31:19 - Bollocks!
00:31:40 Oh, come on!
00:31:44 Where are you, tosser?
00:32:32 - Hold on!
00:32:36 Come to Papa. Come to Papa.
00:32:44 Gemma, for God's sake, keep calling!
00:33:03 Hello.
00:33:05 Oh, no, don't worry about me.
00:33:07 I'm... I'm the pool man.
00:33:09 I do this every Thursday.
00:33:11 It's just routine maintenance.
00:33:15 It's been lovely chatting to you.
00:33:23 And, and you are
00:33:28 But any chance for a rope
00:33:31 Is that your little car?
00:33:34 Uh, yes, I'm the temporary custodian...
00:33:36 ...of the lime green roller skate...
00:33:38 ...but it's a hired car; it's a rental.
00:33:40 It's not for sale. Sorry?
00:33:41 - Can you swim?
00:33:42 ...but not in a foot of cow shit.
00:33:48 Hello?
00:33:58 Will all passengers on Flight...
00:34:03 He's not on the flight.
00:34:06 Right, right.
00:34:08 Okay, roger that.
00:34:37 What is it, Major Lawrence...
00:34:39 ...that attracts you, personally,
00:34:44 It's clean.
00:34:46 I like it because it's clean.
00:35:11 Great.
00:35:30 You better be in prison, Maxie.
00:35:32 Yes, just tell him I'm sorry.
00:35:34 There was nothing
00:35:36 Sorry's no good, Max.
00:35:38 Oh, shit.
00:35:40 Um, what time is the first
00:35:43 Oh, there's no point
00:35:45 You know, the last thing
00:35:49 - was to suspend you for a week.
00:35:52 What the f- Does he expect me
00:35:54 Take a holiday?
00:35:56 Christ, he didn't say that, did he?
00:35:58 No, I just did.
00:35:59 Right, Gemma. Never say that.
00:36:01 If anybody calls...
00:36:02 ...do not say I'm on holiday.
00:36:04 All right?
00:36:06 Now, look.
00:36:07 I'll be back in the office
00:36:09 - You just make sure
00:36:10 That every man jack
00:36:12 Set it up so I can
00:36:14 What?
00:36:16 Get him a clearance
00:36:18 ...on Sir Nigel's recommend.
00:36:19 Are you mad, Max?
00:36:21 Who cares? Just do it.
00:36:22 Don't tell anybody, all right?
00:36:23 Especially not that
00:36:25 Max, is there a problem?
00:36:27 No, I'm having a great time.
00:36:29 - You sure?
00:36:30 - You just be careful, okay? Okay. Ciao.
00:36:33 Bye.
00:37:32 - Oh, shit!
00:37:33 Shit! Scorpion! Scorpion!
00:37:38 Scorpion!
00:37:39 - Oh! Drop it! Bloody hell!
00:37:42 Get that little bastard!
00:37:47 Of course.
00:37:48 Okay.
00:38:13 Fits very well; beautifully.
00:38:14 Max?
00:38:16 Are you back in Blighty?
00:38:18 On the contrary, chuckles.
00:38:19 I've decided to stick around
00:38:23 So it's true,
00:38:25 No, I'm not getting
00:38:27 I'm just exploring my options,
00:38:30 ...the full potential
00:38:32 Well, speaking
00:38:33 ...how soon before we can view?
00:38:35 It's cosmetic stuff mostly, I'd say.
00:38:36 Surprising, actually,
00:38:39 Hmm. So you don't need...
00:38:40 ...a contractor or anything like that?
00:38:42 Uh, no, no, no, no.
00:38:44 ...a coat of paint
00:38:47 Okay, you sure?
00:38:48 - No problem at all, Charlie.
00:38:51 Charlie?
00:38:54 Charlie, can you hear me?
00:38:56 - Yes.
00:38:57 Can you hear me now?
00:38:58 - Yes.
00:39:01 ...about what I said
00:39:03 It is not, I repeat,
00:39:07 - Will that affect our price?
00:39:10 Uh, well,
00:39:12 - And it makes you angry.
00:39:14 I can't imagine the damage
00:39:16 Well, we'll just have
00:39:18 ...our buyers don't know
00:39:20 We'll concentrate on the Americans.
00:39:23 Just make sure she's match-fit
00:39:26 72 hours.
00:39:27 Righto.
00:39:32 A Lamborghini tractor.
00:39:34 Paintbrush...
00:39:35 ...paintbrush, paintbrush.
00:39:40 Paintbrush!
00:39:56 You old bugger.
00:40:27 Duflot.
00:40:31 I was just about to use
00:40:35 It's my paintbrush.
00:40:36 Gee whiz.
00:40:38 This is fun.
00:40:39 Tell you what...
00:40:41 I'll give you 20 euros
00:40:44 - Hmm?
00:40:45 No?
00:40:46 Fifty.
00:40:47 I'll give you a hundred euros
00:40:50 I don't care.
00:40:55 When you sell, I stay vigneron.
00:40:57 I keep my vines.
00:40:59 You want to stay with your vines?
00:41:00 - Mm-hmm.
00:41:01 That means you...
00:41:02 ...must help me...
00:41:05 ...do the gardens...
00:41:06 ...paint the house,
00:41:09 ...if at all possible,
00:41:11 ...the new owners
00:41:13 ...of your services.
00:41:14 D'accord?
00:41:17 A Frenchman's hand...
00:41:19 ...is his word.
00:41:22 An Englishman's word is his bond.
00:41:25 - Concord?
00:41:28 Frog tosspot.
00:41:30 English prick.
00:41:50 No.
00:42:28 Awfully sorry.
00:42:32 Goal of the day.
00:42:50 Bat. Come on.
00:42:53 Here comes the ball!
00:42:57 Champion of the over- Unh!
00:42:59 Let's play.
00:43:02 Come on.
00:43:06 All right, I'm 12-none out.
00:43:11 Okay.
00:43:18 It won't last one month.
00:43:20 If things go
00:43:22 ...it will be somebody else's problem.
00:43:28 Monsieur Max!
00:43:30 Yes?
00:43:31 There is, um... A person...
00:43:35 - At the door.
00:43:37 A person.
00:43:42 Bonjour.
00:43:44 Bonjour.
00:43:48 The only country that issues
00:43:51 Oh.
00:43:52 You speak English.
00:43:53 - Like a native.
00:43:55 I'm Christie Roberts.
00:43:56 I'm looking for Mr. Skinner.
00:43:58 You lucky devil, you found him.
00:44:01 Impossible.
00:44:03 You're way too young.
00:44:05 You know, I was just thinking
00:44:08 I meant too young to be my dad.
00:44:13 Henry Skinner is my father.
00:44:17 She has Henry's nose.
00:44:19 Allez. Allez.
00:44:23 Wow.
00:44:27 This your mum?
00:44:29 In all her Flashdance glory.
00:44:33 So, uh...
00:44:35 ...is he around?
00:44:39 Oh, bollocks.
00:44:40 Um...
00:44:44 I'm sorry.
00:44:46 - It's Christie.
00:44:48 You see, Christie, um...
00:44:51 Henry...
00:44:55 He's dead, huh?
00:44:57 A month ago.
00:45:02 Um...
00:45:06 Cup of tea?
00:45:07 Yes?
00:45:09 Madame Duflot.
00:45:12 Well, no, it's more
00:45:14 What if the girl
00:45:15 Oh, come on, she turns up...
00:45:16 ...a couple months after he parks it?
00:45:18 Far too sweet, Charlie;
00:45:20 You need some
00:45:21 ...and you need it fast,
00:45:23 ...screws up the whole deal.
00:45:25 Asking price?
00:45:26 Uh, it's seven and a half.
00:45:28 Did you get that?
00:45:29 Right.
00:45:36 Christie, I'm just going
00:45:39 Oh, no problem-
00:45:41 ...just in case the old man...
00:45:43 - was schizo, you know?
00:45:44 Oh, you mind dropping me off?
00:45:46 I really got to get
00:45:50 Why don't you just get
00:45:52 Got plenty of space, lots of room.
00:45:54 You can clean up, take a shower.
00:45:56 - I'll be back in a jiff.
00:45:58 Absolutely, absolutely.
00:46:00 Madame Duflot?
00:46:02 Voila.
00:46:07 In the French law, there is no difference between...
00:46:10 ...legitimate and illegitimate
00:46:13 ...to their right to inherit.
00:46:16 That's bloody ridiculous.
00:46:17 She never even met Henry.
00:46:19 She could very well be an impostor.
00:46:20 That is precisely why
00:46:23 ...to produce some form...
00:46:24 ...of documentation.
00:46:26 Photo or even...
00:46:28 ...correspondence- A love letter.
00:46:30 Yes, yes, yes, but what if I just...
00:46:34 ...before she even makes her claim?
00:46:37 No; legally, she could
00:46:41 ...even after the transfer of title.
00:46:42 Bugger.
00:46:44 My advice, Mr. Skinner...
00:46:45 ...is to treat her
00:46:48 Goes without saying.
00:46:50 And hope she'll be on her way.
00:46:52 ...bugger off.
00:46:54 Don't let this... End in court.
00:47:16 Merci.
00:47:31 Joan of Arc?
00:47:33 Oh, Jacques Cousteau.
00:47:37 You tried to drown me.
00:47:38 And you tried to run me
00:47:41 What are you talking about,
00:47:43 What sort of bollocks is that?
00:47:44 Down the road
00:47:45 ...you were driving your
00:47:49 Bonjour. Bonjour.
00:47:50 And I believe...
00:47:52 ...had your head stuck
00:47:54 Look at the damage
00:47:57 You tried to kill me...
00:47:58 I tried to kill you.
00:48:05 My God.
00:48:07 She's fantastic.
00:48:14 Hey, Max.
00:48:17 Look at the view.
00:48:18 It's like Cézanne.
00:48:37 Oh, Tati. Psst.
00:48:44 Francis...
00:48:45 ...in, uh, in town today...
00:48:48 I was, um...
00:48:51 I was passing by this restaurant...
00:48:53 Her name is Fanny Chenal.
00:48:56 Right.
00:48:57 Many times, I've seen...
00:48:58 ...this same look on your uncle's face.
00:49:01 But you deserve credit.
00:49:03 Why is that?
00:49:04 You are now the town hero
00:49:07 ...her derriere.
00:49:13 She, um...
00:49:16 Who?
00:49:17 Fanny Chenal.
00:49:20 I believe, yes.
00:49:22 She, um...
00:49:26 She otherwise spoken for?
00:49:28 She was once.
00:49:30 A football player- For Lyon.
00:49:33 He was shit...
00:49:34 ...just like his left foot.
00:49:36 He treated her very badly, you know.
00:49:38 Since then, it's rumored
00:49:41 ...near her heart.
00:49:53 So she's alone, then.
00:49:56 Who?
00:49:58 Fanny Chenal.
00:49:59 Max...
00:50:00 ...recall what Proust said:
00:50:02 "Leave pretty women...
00:50:04 ...to men without imagination."
00:50:06 Duflot, I'm a banker.
00:50:09 I have no imagination.
00:50:11 Stop.
00:50:17 Fred Perry.
00:50:20 Henri Lacoste.
00:50:36 Love-15.
00:50:42 15-all.
00:50:47 Yes!
00:50:51 No, no, out.
00:50:53 Cannot be serious!
00:50:55 Ball. Ball!
00:51:01 Ah, good.
00:51:06 - Yeah! Hey!
00:51:09 Oh... Oh, bollocks!
00:51:29 My point.
00:00:19 Game.
00:00:20 Hmm.
00:00:42 Eh, Tati.
00:01:15 Voila.
00:01:22 Oh, Maxie.
00:01:24 Oh, look, Ludivine, um...
00:01:26 ...she's my cousin.
00:01:27 Well, she might be...
00:01:29 ...to be, um, a relative, uh,
00:01:31 Uh-huh.
00:01:33 This is perhaps
00:01:34 No.
00:01:35 Half the aristocrats in France...
00:01:37 ...have liaison with their cousins.
00:01:39 Gosh, that explains a lot.
00:01:41 - Ooh.
00:01:45 Oh, won't do.
00:01:49 Anything but, uh...
00:01:51 Vin de merdre.
00:01:56 No label.
00:02:01 HENRY: Careful on those steps.
00:02:08 What do you see up there?
00:02:10 Fervens.
00:02:11 Are you speaking in tongues, boy?
00:02:14 "Fervere"- it's a Latin term.
00:02:16 It means "to boil."
00:02:18 The native yeasts in your cellar
00:02:22 ...inside the grapes to alcohol.
00:02:24 The release of
00:02:27 ...is what causes the bubbling of it.
00:02:29 I must be suffering from dementia.
00:02:31 I don't recall ever
00:02:33 You didn't.
00:02:35 Monsieur Duflot explained it to me.
00:02:37 Well done.
00:02:39 Proves the adage...
00:02:40 ...that wisdom can be found
00:02:44 To watch Duflot on bended knee...
00:02:47 ...doing something as simple
00:02:49 ...he brings a magnificent poetry...
00:02:51 ...in his devotion
00:02:55 Perhaps it'd inspire you...
00:02:57 ...to find devotion in what you do
00:03:01 I want to be a professional
00:03:05 Or a comedian.
00:03:06 Maximillian...
00:03:07 ...ask me what is...
00:03:10 ...the most important thing in comedy.
00:03:13 What is the most
00:03:16 - in comedy?
00:03:20 Timing.
00:03:27 Have you tasted Dad's wine?
00:03:29 Oh, yes, indeed.
00:03:31 But I do recommend it...
00:03:32 ...for getting the paint out from
00:03:35 So you know.
00:03:36 Well, I'm more of a cognac drinker.
00:03:38 I'm too impatient
00:03:40 If I'm gonna get drunk,
00:03:41 ...to spend all night doing it.
00:03:42 Try that.
00:03:46 It's better.
00:03:47 It's extraordinary.
00:03:50 Like a Bordeaux...
00:03:52 ...only velvet rather than wool.
00:03:53 Well, well...
00:03:55 ...guess who knows a thing
00:03:57 Back in Napa...
00:03:58 ...we're known to gargle...
00:03:59 ...and spit on occasion.
00:04:01 That sounds like fun.
00:04:03 Is, uh, is this made here...
00:04:07 ...on the estate?
00:04:08 "Coin Perdu."
00:04:10 Doubt it.
00:04:11 Different bottles.
00:04:13 Same corks.
00:04:14 Un petit mystery, n'est-ce pas?
00:04:16 Well, Henry always was
00:04:18 How so?
00:04:20 He loved England,
00:04:23 And he loved women...
00:04:25 ...but never the same one
00:04:28 ...a certain period of time.
00:04:30 He never got married.
00:04:32 And he loved adventure.
00:04:34 But every single one of...
00:04:35 ...my memories takes place...
00:04:36 ...within about 100 steps
00:04:40 Are they good memories?
00:04:42 No.
00:04:44 They're grand.
00:04:48 I'm going to go upstairs...
00:04:50 ...finish my book.
00:04:53 Death in Venice.
00:04:56 That's my book.
00:04:57 Don't tell me the ending.
00:05:06 Well, actually, I never
00:05:07 Hello, old mate, how are you?
00:05:10 Just a quick question.
00:05:11 Yeah, hang on. Shirley.
00:05:15 Yes?
00:05:16 You'd know this.
00:05:17 In France...
00:05:19 ...is it actually illegal
00:05:21 Only if she's ugly.
00:05:23 Right.
00:05:30 Bollocks.
00:05:33 Lance Armstrong!
00:05:41 I know, I'm so sorry.
00:05:42 I'm supposed to be here
00:05:45 30 minutes, I'm sorry.
00:05:47 Oh, come on.
00:05:49 I know. I know.
00:05:50 You said we'd be seated right away.
00:05:52 I know. Okay, you have a drink.
00:05:54 We'll offer you a drink...
00:05:57 ...and you'll have your table in
00:05:59 All righty. Okay.
00:06:01 All right, what I want is-
00:06:02 ...get ready, write it down:
00:06:08 Caroline?
00:06:16 Bonsoir.
00:06:17 Monsieur...
00:06:20 Well, I hope your
00:06:22 ...because your service
00:06:24 Please, Monsieur, I'm too busy
00:06:25 - Where are all your waiters, love?
00:06:28 - My hands are full without fun and
00:06:29 - My hands are full without fun and
00:06:30 McDonald's is in Avignon,
00:06:35 Table six?
00:06:36 Allez, allez!
00:06:41 - What are you doing?
00:06:43 Done this before.
00:06:44 Where?
00:06:45 Worked my way through university...
00:06:46 ...at London's finest restaurants.
00:06:49 Monsieur!
00:06:50 - Mais qu'est-ce qui se passe?
00:06:53 Venez, monsieur!
00:06:55 Okay, okay.
00:06:56 But remember, if there
00:06:58 ...in France,
00:07:01 Table six.
00:07:03 Table six.
00:07:15 Bonsoir...
00:07:17 Table?
00:07:18 Uh... 16.
00:07:27 Champagne?
00:07:30 Yes, cheers. And wha-what
00:07:32 Garkin! Garkin! Get over here.
00:07:34 - I need, need help over here.
00:07:36 Where you going?
00:07:38 Garkin!
00:07:39 Oh, do you speak American?
00:07:40 'Cause this menu
00:07:42 ...and we don't understand it.
00:07:43 Yeah, we need some silverware.
00:07:45 But, uh, let me tell you
00:07:46 Mm-hmm.
00:07:47 I would like a salad "Nicoisee..."
00:07:49 ...with ranch dressing on it.
00:07:50 Wait, wait, baby,
00:07:52 Oh, that's right.
00:07:54 So, I would like low-cal
00:07:57 And could you sprinkle
00:07:59 McDonald's is in Avignon...
00:08:02 ...fish and chips, Marseille.
00:08:04 You people got some serious attitude around here.
00:08:22 Here are your tips.
00:08:24 Thank you for your help.
00:08:27 You're fired.
00:08:31 You know, my vigneron said that...
00:08:34 ...you grew up around Gord.
00:08:36 Monsieur Duflot is mistaken.
00:08:38 I only visited Gord during
00:08:42 I used to spend my summers here.
00:08:44 I wonder if we ever met.
00:08:50 Well, if we did,
00:08:55 You're a local.
00:08:58 Where would a young man,
00:09:03 ...for a drink?
00:09:06 What?
00:09:08 Are you asking me on a date?
00:09:13 No, it's more of an apology.
00:09:16 I just don't, uh, want you to
00:09:19 ...who goes around running people
00:09:21 I'm not interested.
00:09:24 Have a good night.
00:09:59 Sunday night, 8:00.
00:10:01 Place de I'Etang.
00:10:02 Don't be late.
00:10:05 I shall see you then.
00:10:13 Oh, my God.
00:10:15 Help! Scorpions!
00:10:16 - Scorpions!
00:10:17 Help!
00:10:18 Oh, my god!
00:10:21 Et voila!
00:10:22 Et voila.
00:10:24 - La lavande...
00:10:28 La lavande...
00:10:46 Merci.
00:10:47 You're welcome.
00:11:20 You dance very well, Ludivine.
00:11:22 Thank you.
00:11:24 I miss Henry.
00:11:26 He was an excellent dancer.
00:11:28 Yeah.
00:11:32 - Do you want to dance?
00:11:33 Oh, what happened?
00:11:34 Uh, the tennis with
00:11:37 Oh, poor boy. Do you
00:11:39 No.
00:11:40 Antiseptic?
00:11:41 No.
00:11:42 Oh, you are coming...
00:11:45 ...to our house tonight,
00:11:49 Oui.
00:11:50 - Huh?
00:11:51 I am cooking for you, Max.
00:11:57 Merci.
00:12:23 Bonjour.
00:12:24 Vous parlez français?
00:12:26 Ouais.
00:12:28 Francis Duflot, vigneron.
00:12:32 Christie Roberts.
00:12:34 Illegitimate daughter.
00:12:36 The resemblance to
00:12:39 The nose.
00:12:41 For 23 years, I toiled
00:12:46 Even now, he works from
00:12:50 That's when I first
00:12:53 But now they are sad and tired.
00:12:56 Except here.
00:12:57 Here?
00:12:59 Nothing but rocks and grief.
00:13:03 Limestones absorb the sunlight.
00:13:05 Keep the vines warm at night.
00:13:09 Wine brat.
00:13:10 I spent summers working
00:13:13 Oui, mais...
00:13:14 In California, they don't make wine.
00:13:16 They make Hawaiian Punch.
00:13:18 Mondavi might argue with that one.
00:13:21 Maybe Henry's daughter...
00:13:22 ...would be interested in
00:13:24 - Okay.
00:13:26 If we are lucky,
00:13:45 Paid to the order
00:13:48 How much?
00:13:49 Uh, 87 francs.
00:13:51 Mm...
00:13:53 ...sign!
00:13:54 Henry Skinner.
00:13:59 - Next?
00:14:00 Not a sous to that grease monkey.
00:14:02 The old Jag's still coughing
00:14:05 Next.
00:14:07 Uh, Jean-Pierre Lesourdre.
00:14:09 How much?
00:14:10 How much?
00:14:11 2,000 francs.
00:14:12 Huh? Uh, okay, okay.
00:14:16 You're a genius, Maximillian.
00:14:19 You could be me.
00:14:22 The photos worked like a charm.
00:14:23 MAX: Really?
00:14:24 Yeah, massive interest, Max.
00:14:26 Wonderful.
00:14:27 Yes, money, money, money,
00:14:29 So I decided it's time
00:14:32 So I booked a flight.
00:14:34 I'll be with you tomorrow afternoon.
00:14:35 Terrific.
00:14:37 Well, I'll alert the staff
00:14:39 What do you mean, chain up the dogs?
00:14:41 No, I don't have any dogs,
00:14:43 ...that's just a figure of speech,
00:15:11 Max!
00:15:13 Pretty cool, huh?
00:15:15 Bonsoir.
00:15:18 Ça va?
00:15:19 Ça va...
00:15:21 Allez, we must have an appero.
00:15:23 We must have a big one.
00:15:31 Ah, Ludivine.
00:15:33 Ah, non, non, non,
00:15:36 Bonsoir.
00:15:37 Hello.
00:15:38 Ça va?
00:15:39 Ça va?
00:15:40 Oh, merci.
00:15:42 C'est gentil, merci, merci, merci...
00:15:44 Of course.
00:15:50 Ah, I took the liberty...
00:15:52 ...of inviting Henry's
00:16:00 Pastis?
00:16:00 - Oui.
00:16:02 Bonsoir, coz.
00:16:04 Bonsoir.
00:16:06 I see you've managed...
00:16:08 ...to ingratiate yourself
00:16:12 Where'd you get the Halston?
00:16:13 Dad's closet.
00:16:14 Ta-da.
00:16:16 I wonder what she wore home.
00:16:19 A simple meal after a day's work
00:16:22 Eggplant...
00:16:23 Caviar de Bergine-very good.
00:16:26 Where are the heads? We didn't,
00:16:28 No, no, no.
00:16:29 Uh, mushrooms of the region.
00:16:31 Et voila...
00:16:33 And finally civet
00:16:37 ...marinated in red wine and blood
00:16:41 Why would you have it any other way?
00:16:43 Allez, attaque.
00:16:45 Help, help.
00:16:47 Wine, Max?
00:16:48 La Siroque?
00:16:50 Mais non.
00:16:51 Uh... Christie?
00:16:51 - Wine?
00:16:56 Oh, Papa.
00:17:01 Papa speaks Provençal.
00:17:03 You know?
00:17:04 Oh, but very few
00:17:06 It's now exclusively practiced...
00:17:09 ...by poets and sodomites.
00:17:12 What a sodomite is, by the way?
00:17:14 I will explain you tonight.
00:17:18 Francis.
00:17:19 Mmm...
00:17:21 Mmm...
00:17:22 The asparagus is-is lovely.
00:17:24 Mmm, thank you.
00:17:26 Very chewy, but...
00:17:28 Iovely.
00:17:29 Eh, bravo, eh, Ludivine?
00:17:30 And the boar, mmm!
00:17:32 Perhaps the best boar I've had.
00:17:36 Can I have some bread, please?
00:17:37 Oh, yeah.
00:17:40 Francis, Francis?
00:17:43 Papa, donne-moi ca, Papa.
00:17:48 Sorry.
00:17:50 C'est Le Coin Perdu.
00:17:51 It's a local vin de garage, c'est...
00:17:53 "Vin de garage?"
00:17:54 It's a garage wine.
00:17:56 Like a boutique wine.
00:17:58 Small vineyards, small productions.
00:18:00 Seriously big prices.
00:18:03 It's overrated.
00:18:04 It didn't say that on the Web.
00:18:07 Turns out Le Coin Perdu
00:18:10 It changes hands
00:18:12 ...but nobody knows who makes it.
00:18:14 Well, uh, it's time for fromage.
00:18:16 Okay?
00:18:18 You want, uh, fromage, cheese?
00:18:19 - Allez.
00:18:22 And now, now...
00:18:24 Papa? Papa?
00:18:25 Trouble you for a spot of the Coin?
00:18:27 You know what it is, Christie?
00:18:29 It is Mar de Provence.
00:18:31 Wow.
00:18:33 It's a little bit strong.
00:18:34 But very good.
00:18:35 Chin-chin.
00:18:37 It's your father's recipe.
00:18:38 Yes.
00:18:40 Max.
00:18:41 - Little bit?
00:18:42 Tell-Tell us, Madame Duflot...
00:18:43 ...what is it that makes you so
00:18:48 Oh, but of course.
00:18:50 The nose.
00:18:51 Oh, the nose.
00:18:53 The glorious snout.
00:18:55 Is there something else? Anything?
00:18:58 No? Anything that might help...
00:19:00 ...corroborate Christie's claim?
00:19:04 Henry ever discuss California?
00:19:09 Did he ever mention a woman
00:19:13 It's funny, isn't it?
00:19:16 ...where he might have mentioned offspring?
00:19:20 No?
00:19:21 I mean, seriously.
00:19:23 Oh, because the last person that...
00:19:25 Henry would ever consciously
00:19:28 Yes, but, uh, in this moment...
00:19:30 I see more of Henry in Christie
00:19:34 Max...
00:19:36 ...all I want is to learn
00:19:39 This is my chance to find
00:19:42 I don't care if you
00:19:50 Oh!
00:19:52 Oh.
00:19:56 Monsieur...
00:19:57 Madame...
00:20:00 ...thanks for a lovely evening.
00:20:01 Oh, Papa will walk you back.
00:20:03 No, Ludivine, no.
00:20:05 The vines will guide me.
00:20:06 Bonsoir.
00:20:10 Good night.
00:20:11 - Whoa.
00:20:13 I'm okay.
00:20:14 Oh.
00:20:38 What are you doing?
00:20:39 I lost my shoe.
00:20:42 What?
00:20:43 I lost my shoe.
00:20:45 Why can't Henry be my dad?
00:20:48 Well, because now that
00:20:50 I'm not sure that
00:20:52 You don't believe me, do you?
00:20:54 Look, Christie, it's not a matter of that.
00:20:56 Ludivine told me your parents
00:21:00 You know, I... Grew up
00:21:04 Doesn't it matter to you...
00:21:06 ...that I may be the only
00:21:10 Yes, it does. That's why
00:21:24 Whoa... whoa!
00:21:41 This was my room
00:21:45 Sleeping here...
00:21:48 ...it was the safest place
00:21:51 No bedtimes, no chores.
00:21:55 No squabbling adults.
00:21:57 I loved Henry deeply,
00:22:00 ...around to telling him.
00:22:03 It's a shitty feeling.
00:22:09 He was someone who saved my life.
00:22:21 Thanks a million, Maximillian.
00:22:27 Bloody hell, Henry.
00:22:29 - Where does it come back in?
00:22:31 Bugger cooked the books.
00:22:41 Yes?
00:22:42 Max, my boy.
00:22:44 Amis, you old cheese.
00:22:46 So sorry to hear you're out.
00:22:48 Well, as usual, Amis...
00:22:49 ...the only thing right about your intelligence
00:22:53 Then again, you always were
00:22:55 You've crossed the line
00:22:58 You little runt!
00:22:59 By the by, thank you so much for
00:23:03 ...to my Aston Martin fund.
00:23:05 Did you get the flowers?
00:23:06 What flowers?
00:23:08 ...little schemes and ploys...
00:23:11 Well, you're nothing.
00:23:12 Plonker.
00:23:14 Oi! I heard that.
00:23:15 Who you calling a plonker?
00:23:17 You fat prat.
00:23:19 Hey? Hello?
00:23:20 - Skinner?
00:23:22 Hello. I'm Jean-Marie Bougnier.
00:23:25 Yes?
00:23:27 I've come to test the vines.
00:23:28 - Oh, the oenologue!
00:23:29 Right, great. Um, well, grab
00:23:33 Yeah.
00:23:36 (cell phone ringing)
00:23:39 Gemma, long time.
00:23:41 Max, I've just had a vision
00:23:45 ...a latte at Starbucks.
00:23:47 Getting comfortable
00:23:49 Yeah, listen.
00:23:50 Remember, we are not here
00:23:55 Sell, sell.
00:23:57 He's even taking credit
00:24:00 He's telling everyone in
00:24:04 ...that gave you the idea.
00:24:05 Well, if he wasn't an ambitious
00:24:08 I never would have given him
00:24:10 Yeah, but, Max,
00:24:12 Gemma... Just
00:24:14 ...and let him do what he needs to do.
00:24:16 All right?
00:24:17 Tout a I'heure.
00:24:22 Well...
00:24:24 Piquette.
00:24:25 Wonderful, wonderful.
00:24:27 No, no, it mean, um...
00:24:30 Yeah.
00:24:31 Uh... Shit.
00:24:37 Chicken shit, no?
00:24:41 It's very terrible,
00:24:44 It's like, um, in French
00:24:48 It's completely dead.
00:24:49 Oh, my God!
00:24:51 Look at this one; this is a...
00:24:52 It's a baby.
00:24:54 Look at it.
00:24:56 I test this one.
00:25:01 Wow.
00:25:03 Catastrophe.
00:25:04 Very, very bad.
00:25:06 I am really sorry. Eh!
00:25:14 More like a quarry than a vineyard.
00:25:18 Look at this-you know what it mean?
00:25:21 You cut off two of
00:25:24 What's left gets all the nourishment,
00:25:28 And why would you do that?
00:25:30 Perhaps the peasants
00:25:33 ...what they could, you know?
00:25:38 Right, um...
00:25:40 I think I follow you.
00:25:41 Um, so wh-what's the verdict?
00:25:44 Despite your vigneron's...
00:25:46 ...unbearable faults, you know...
00:25:49 ...this terroir is beyond help.
00:25:52 Nothing, um... Shit.
00:25:56 Nothing. No.
00:25:58 You might consider growing
00:26:04 I will have my office
00:26:07 ...and my invoice.
00:26:09 Thank you.
00:26:16 Oi!
00:26:17 Wakey, wakey, beach bunny.
00:26:19 What the hell do you think
00:26:20 These are Henry's private papers.
00:26:22 They're irreplaceable.
00:26:25 Did you know Dad mixed a martini
00:26:28 He also danced a waltz
00:26:34 Well, considering Amelia
00:26:36 ...that's a perfect
00:26:38 ...of exaggerator Uncle Henry was.
00:26:40 Want to know the real Uncle Henry?
00:26:42 Not the one your overactive
00:26:44 The real Henry Skinner
00:26:46 ...of committing to the real world...
00:26:48 ...that he retreated from life
00:26:50 ...to a lonely and loveless end!
00:26:53 Everything I need to know
00:26:57 It's right in front of me.
00:27:00 You know, and if this place
00:27:02 ...as I believe it did...
00:27:05 ...you're worse than I thought...
00:27:06 ...for even thinking about selling it.
00:27:15 I'll leave tomorrow.
00:28:08 Uncle Henry!
00:28:10 Let's see you then.
00:28:11 - One, two, and go!
00:28:39 Yes?
00:28:40 Hello.
00:28:41 You working out on the house?
00:28:43 Charlie.
00:28:45 Yes, at it since daybreak.
00:28:46 Really.
00:28:47 I hate to think of you toiling
00:28:50 We're English, Charlie, you know?
00:28:52 Born to rule and sacrifice.
00:28:54 Yes.
00:28:56 Where are you?
00:28:57 - I'm outside.
00:29:02 Wow.
00:29:06 Max, take my original estimate...
00:29:08 - And shove it up my ass.
00:29:10 - If I can't get you $5 million
00:29:12 ...for this baby, I'm in the wrong sport.
00:29:14 What?
00:29:15 What?
00:29:18 Oh, dear.
00:29:19 Huh?
00:29:20 This is a disaster.
00:29:23 Mr. Froggy Wineman...
00:29:25 ...has just knocked a million
00:29:27 Oh, bugger it, you know?
00:29:28 We just go to plan two, right?
00:29:29 Just flog it as fast as we can
00:29:32 And just keep in mind
00:29:34 ...he stays on
00:29:36 - I'll do my best.
00:29:37 Max?
00:29:38 So what's on the agenda
00:29:40 Steak frite?
00:29:42 Bottle of pastis?
00:29:44 Charlie.
00:29:45 Charlie, please;
00:29:47 ...and, uh, I have a...
00:29:49 ...an obligatory cultural activity
00:29:52 Can I come?
00:29:53 Will there be girls?
00:29:55 No and yes.
00:29:59 So you're leaving
00:30:02 ...in an eerie château
00:30:06 Charlie.
00:30:07 No. I'm leaving you alone.
00:30:11 And, um, you're not as alone
00:30:14 You'll find a friend.
00:30:15 Okay?
00:30:41 Max.
00:30:42 We thought you were dead.
00:30:44 Kenny, I've heard the word
00:30:46 ...is going to trade like a turd.
00:30:48 Oh, yeah?
00:30:49 A smart move...
00:30:50 ...would be to sell 28 gilt short
00:30:55 Good grief.
00:30:57 Are you sure?
00:30:58 It's risky as hell;
00:31:00 Now, of course...
00:31:01 I'm not allowed to do
00:31:04 I'm sure that you'll share
00:31:06 ...when the bouquets are passed around.
00:31:07 - Yes?
00:31:09 - See you later.
00:31:11 Boss, someone is shorting
00:31:17 Skinner.
00:31:19 Not this time, you miserable sod.
00:31:24 Buy!
00:31:26 Get your hands
00:31:55 Hello.
00:31:56 Hello.
00:31:59 Anyone there?
00:32:01 Hello?
00:32:03 Who are you?
00:32:05 I'm Charlie's friend Max.
00:32:07 No, I'm not.
00:32:09 I'm Max's friend Charlie.
00:32:10 Okay, Max's friend.
00:32:14 I need you to come up here
00:32:23 Thanks.
00:32:40 Have I told you you're a vision?
00:32:43 Oui, from the bottom of the pool...
00:32:46 ...when you were peeking up my skirt.
00:32:48 Gosh, guilty as charged.
00:32:49 Sorry about that.
00:32:53 - Bonsoir. You look lovely.
00:32:54 You, too.
00:32:56 Sartorial elegance by Henri.
00:32:59 Wow.
00:33:02 Le Coin Perdu?
00:33:05 I've never actually seen a bottle.
00:33:07 Have you heard of it?
00:33:08 It's expensive.
00:33:10 It's expensive.
00:33:11 Are you trying to seduce me, Max?
00:33:13 Oh, gosh.
00:33:16 The thought would never
00:33:17 ...not more than six or ten times.
00:33:22 Um...
00:33:25 Eh, right now...
00:33:26 ...it's sort of the color of...
00:33:28 ...ripe pomegranate.
00:33:32 Bummer.
00:33:33 Could you, uh... Look...
00:33:36 ...in the medicine cabinet
00:33:38 ...aspirin, bucket of ice.
00:33:40 Yeah.
00:33:42 Uh, I'm Christie, by the way.
00:33:45 Charlie.
00:33:47 How do you do?
00:33:48 I love your accent.
00:33:50 Thanks.
00:33:52 Love your bum.
00:33:54 Love your bum.
00:34:29 There's something you
00:34:32 Yes?
00:34:33 I'm very, very choosy.
00:34:36 Well, I'm very, very honored.
00:34:40 I'm also very,
00:34:44 ...very, very irrational;
00:34:46 ...and I have a very,
00:34:50 I'm also extremely jealous
00:34:53 ...just so you know.
00:34:55 Well, this promises to be...
00:34:57 - A lovely evening.
00:35:01 I wouldn't go to Rome.
00:35:02 It is quite overcrowded.
00:35:04 I mean, there's more
00:35:07 I've got to go somewhere,
00:35:11 Yeah, but it's sinking.
00:35:12 You know, one false move...
00:35:15 ...fall in the canal- Sorry.
00:35:17 Run down by a gondolier.
00:35:19 Whereas London has got it all...
00:35:22 ...including your own...
00:35:24 ...personal tour guide: moi.
00:35:27 Charlie.
00:35:31 Concentrate.
00:35:33 Sorry.
00:36:03 Alone at last.
00:36:05 You've been candid with me, so I
00:36:07 ...should be candid with you.
00:36:10 I'm famously callous...
00:36:12 ...even to the point
00:36:17 And I have an absolute
00:36:22 The only person I ever loved
00:36:26 I didn't contact him for
00:36:32 He often expressed great sadness...
00:36:34 ...as though he thought
00:36:38 You knew him?
00:36:40 As a woman living here...
00:36:42 ...it was impossible not to know him.
00:36:44 Right.
00:36:46 Um, he didn't, by any chance...
00:36:47 ...ever get out the Edmundo records...
00:36:48 - And do the, um...
00:36:50 Rumba?
00:36:53 No.
00:36:55 Thank you.
00:36:57 But of course I tried.
00:36:59 Well, you would, 'cause he
00:37:02 Yes.
00:37:05 I can't for the life
00:37:07 I stopped coming down here.
00:37:11 I love this place.
00:37:13 It's intoxicating.
00:38:06 Scorpions! Agh!
00:38:08 Ow!
00:38:09 - Scorpions!
00:38:13 There are scorpions in my bedroom!
00:38:19 I must go to work.
00:38:21 Isn't that usually the man's line?
00:38:31 Do you know the reason...
00:38:32 ...why I spent the night with you?
00:38:37 It is because once you have done
00:38:41 ...you will not return.
00:38:44 For us, there can be no future.
00:38:48 There is safety in that.
00:38:53 Well...
00:38:58 ...there's absolutely nothing...
00:39:00 ...stopping us from setting up
00:39:03 - London definitely needs...
00:39:05 ...a decent bistro.
00:39:06 Mm.
00:39:08 How typical... To assume...
00:39:11 ...that I live in Provence
00:39:14 Fanny, this place just
00:39:18 No, Max.
00:39:20 It is your life
00:39:28 Au revoir.
00:39:41 What happened to the diving board?
00:39:45 Hmm.
00:39:47 We did quite well, didn't we?
00:39:50 Yeah, I don't think we did
00:39:52 ...the oenologue's report.
00:39:59 You know, Charlie...
00:40:02 ...I think I'm in love.
00:40:04 I don't blame you, mate.
00:40:06 She's a goddess,
00:40:08 Not Christie, you silly sod.
00:40:10 My, um...
00:40:13 ...my obligatory cultural activity is a girl.
00:40:16 - Oh.
00:40:18 Fanny Chenal.
00:40:20 Ooh, la la.
00:40:24 I've been thinking,
00:40:26 Max, I think...
00:40:27 ...at the moment,
00:40:30 ...in the eau de French girl...
00:40:32 ...and when you have
00:40:34 ...things will look
00:40:36 I could keep it as
00:40:39 ...holiday house, you know.
00:40:40 Can I remind you what happened
00:40:43 ...a man you loved, took his
00:40:47 I stole his job.
00:40:49 Exact.
00:40:51 Max Skinner doesn't do weekends.
00:40:52 Max Skinner doesn't take holidays.
00:40:54 Max Skinner...
00:40:58 ...makes money.
00:41:00 So do what you do best, Max.
00:41:02 Hmm?
00:41:05 If you're going to sell it...
00:41:07 ...you got to sign it.
00:41:22 Shh.
00:41:29 Why is he singing to them,
00:41:31 Well, you see, Max...
00:41:33 ...the terroir needs more
00:41:36 It needs harmony.
00:41:38 It needs balance.
00:41:56 My whole life,
00:41:59 ...for singing to the vines.
00:42:00 I explained that, someday,
00:42:04 Here, they finally have.
00:42:07 You don't know what you are doing.
00:42:10 What are you talking about?
00:42:12 Here...
00:42:13 Le Coin Perdu.
00:42:15 It's not possible.
00:42:17 The oenologue said you couldn't
00:42:19 No, no, no, no, no.
00:42:21 The oenologue was paid to say that.
00:42:23 We thought that if you believed
00:42:26 ...you would leave things
00:42:29 ...so the status quo.
00:42:31 Why didn't you tell me this before?
00:42:33 Why didn't you trust me?
00:42:34 Max, would you trust you?
00:42:37 These vines, they are illegal.
00:42:40 Your uncle always intended...
00:42:42 ...to leave the estate to you...
00:42:44 ...but he worried about
00:42:47 "My nephew is selfish,"
00:42:51 "How can I give this
00:42:53 ...who can't even appreciate
00:42:56 So it was never written.
00:42:59 Plus, fate took him...
00:43:02 ...before he could decide what to do.
00:43:06 I've already sold it.
00:43:13 Then you have done
00:43:15 ...your uncle feared you would do.
00:43:18 You have sold his spirit
00:43:22 ...and betrayed the only man
00:43:32 Here, Max.
00:43:35 Here was Henry's fuck-you money!
00:44:00 This one.
00:44:02 Ah, well chosen.
00:44:04 It's not quite there yet.
00:44:07 Once you find
00:44:09 ...you have to take care of it.
00:44:11 You have to let it grow.
00:44:23 Christie.
00:44:26 What are you doing?
00:44:28 Sure, I can.
00:44:29 Well, what about last night?
00:44:30 I nursed you through
00:44:33 You were sweet.
00:44:35 And I seriously damaged
00:44:37 Frostbitten?
00:44:39 Like your heart.
00:44:45 Bye, Charlie.
00:44:47 Bye, Christie.
00:45:02 Where you headed?
00:45:03 Not exactly sure.
00:45:05 I brought you something.
00:45:07 Your book.
00:45:08 You didn't finish it.
00:45:15 Christie?
00:45:18 You do have his nose.
00:45:23 Au revoir.
00:45:25 Au revoir, coz.
00:45:31 Dear Max...
00:45:33 I know it's been many years
00:45:36 ...but I find myself
00:45:39 ...and I'm afraid I need your help.
00:45:41 The thing is, Max, old boy, I'm dying.
00:45:45 I know this because, uh,
00:45:48 ...has stopped talking
00:45:50 ...and begun discussing the weather.
00:45:52 Convinced that death,
00:45:57 ...would be unable
00:45:59 ...and having always
00:46:02 ...to be written invitations
00:46:04 I find myself impelled
00:46:09 I have a daughter,;
00:46:13 Sadly, we have never met.
00:46:15 Her mother's name was Allison.
00:46:18 She was a tour guide
00:46:21 ...in Northern California.
00:46:24 Max, I should like you
00:46:25 ...and to this end,
00:46:28 ...what is rightfully hers.
00:46:30 I hope this decision
00:46:33 ...and as successful as you are,
00:46:36 I hope you understand...
00:46:39 ...because, for me,
00:46:41 La Siroque is a place of magic...
00:46:45 ...and it is my heartfelt wish...
00:46:47 ...that Christie should share
00:46:52 I like to think ofher here.
00:46:55 After all, she and La Siroque
00:46:59 Your loving uncle...
00:47:01 Your loving uncle...
00:47:02 Henry Skinner.
00:47:04 Henry Skinner.
00:47:12 Il est un petit, um, wrinkle.
00:47:15 What do you mean? What...
00:47:17 Uh...
00:47:20 Ah, Genghis, back from the dead.
00:47:22 Just a lovely tie.
00:47:24 Do tell your mother
00:47:26 Welcome back, boss.
00:47:28 Oh... I bet.
00:47:31 You wanker!
00:47:33 Kenneth. Nice haircut.
00:47:35 You set me up.
00:47:36 Oh, dear boy...
00:47:37 ...you haven't been fired
00:47:39 A short order.
00:47:40 Did my nuts in
00:47:42 You didn't?
00:47:43 Lost us six million quid.
00:47:46 Couldn't have anything to do
00:47:49 You bastard!
00:47:51 Morning, lab rats.
00:47:53 - Morning, boss.
00:47:54 Morning, Max.
00:48:00 Bonjour, Jasminda.
00:48:04 Ça va?
00:48:06 Bonjour?
00:48:09 You look different.
00:48:12 Give me everything
00:48:13 ...and an espresso.
00:48:15 Max?
00:48:17 Hmm?
00:48:18 Sir Nigel's waiting for you.
00:48:21 Make it a double.
00:48:55 Auf Wiederherren.
00:49:05 Van Gogh.
00:49:10 Hope you've got a good lock
00:49:13 Don't be soft.
00:49:15 It's not real.
00:49:16 The real one's in my vault.
00:49:18 It's a copy.
00:49:19 200 grand for a knockoff.
00:49:21 200 grand for a knockoff.
00:49:23 Sit.
00:49:27 Art's a passion, Max.
00:49:31 Got to have passions.
00:49:33 I have horses, cars, money...
00:49:37 Are they passions or vices, sir?
00:49:38 Have I finished talking?
00:49:42 When I finish talking,
00:49:45 ...and it better be good!
00:49:47 While you've been
00:49:49 I've been in a shitstorm!
00:49:52 Sir, I do appreciate that my actions
00:49:56 Max...
00:49:59 You're one of the ballsiest
00:50:03 ...but you've got to learn
00:50:04 ...to your sort of behavior.
00:50:09 There it is.
00:50:13 You have one hour.
00:50:20 So, shall I pack my Smurfs?
00:50:42 Oh, Max!
00:50:44 Look after Madame Chenal's
00:50:46 ...while I give her mother
00:50:48 Uh, but I really want to finish
00:50:50 ...of Death in Venice.
00:50:52 Well, given the book's title...
00:50:53 I don't think you'll be
00:50:56 You be good, Fanny.
00:50:58 Come now, Madame Chenal.
00:50:59 There are many attractions
00:51:01 ...beginning with the view,
00:52:05 That's a lot of zeros, Max.
00:52:08 Or a full partnership for life.
00:52:11 My choice.
00:52:15 Now you listen to Mommy, Max.
00:52:17 Partner-you're made for life.
00:52:20 Sir Nigel didn't become partner
00:52:22 ...and look at him.
00:52:25 Yes.
00:52:28 Look at him.
00:52:34 Now what's it to be:
00:52:36 ...or your life?
00:52:42 When do you ever see it, Nige?
00:52:43 The real one?
00:52:46 When do you look at it?
00:52:47 Do you make late-night
00:52:49 ...just to see it or?
00:52:52 What point are you making?
00:53:25 Bonjour.
00:53:33 I think so.
00:53:37 You sure you don't need more time?
00:53:39 No, I know what I want.
00:53:42 You're sure?
00:53:46 Absolutely.
00:53:51 So, what is it to be?
00:53:55 How's the soup?
00:53:58 The soup is finished.
00:54:01 Like my job.
00:54:07 The fish?
00:54:08 We've run out.
00:54:11 That's like me with excuses.
00:54:17 Don't waste my time.
00:54:18 Choose something we have.
00:54:23 I would like a lifetime spent...
00:54:25 ...with an irrational
00:54:31 Some short-tempered jealousy
00:54:36 ...and a bottle of wine
00:54:40 ...and a glass that's never empty.
00:55:04 You remember what
00:55:09 ...when we were kids in the pool.
00:55:12 And it seems that you do, too.
00:55:15 Bien sur.
00:55:17 But it was not
00:55:20 ...that I recognized you: Max.
00:55:54 I said no.
00:55:56 What, "No, no, no, no."
00:55:57 No way. You are not
00:55:59 But this is the way...
00:56:00 I've always done things, you know.
00:56:02 We want structure
00:56:04 Leaving the stems on
00:56:07 And the wine will taste like rocket fuel.
00:56:09 No way!
00:56:10 You are not de-stemming
00:56:11 All acids and tannins.
00:56:13 Oh, you say acid and tannins...
00:56:14 Yes, I say tannins...
00:56:15 I say flavor and cojones, you know...
00:56:17 - Barolo super Tuscans.
00:56:18 That's what's selling out there.
00:56:19 Not some wimpy wine from Louveron!
00:56:24 Ah, Max.
00:56:26 I will not work with this
00:56:30 I love her, this woman, she...
00:56:34 ...she's like Henry, with a nice ass.
00:56:39 Oh...
00:56:41 I can't deal with this guy, Max.
00:56:43 What is it with the French?
00:56:48 Oh, and, uh, by the way...
00:56:51 ...you were running low
00:56:53 ...so I bought you some more.
00:56:55 - Never know.
00:56:58 You might want to write
00:57:06 Yes?
00:57:07 Max, how's Christie?
00:57:09 How's the sale going, Charlie?
00:57:11 Apartments in this bracket
00:57:13 I'm very confident of getting
00:57:15 Bullshit, Charlie.
00:57:16 If you don't give me
00:57:18 ...you're off the gig, Sunshine.
00:57:21 Max, you do realize, of course...
00:57:24 ...it's not going to last
00:57:26 You don't say.
00:57:27 And as impossible
00:57:30 ...the very things that are
00:57:33 ...will soon be the dread
00:57:36 And after a few months of eating...
00:57:39 ...and drinking and sleeping...
00:57:42 ...and shagging, what have you got
00:57:46 Boredom.
00:57:49 I mean, what are you going
00:57:54 Max, I'm your best friend...
00:57:55 ...and I'm telling you, you won't last.
00:57:57 We'll see about that, Charlie.
00:58:00 Okay, okay, okay.
00:58:02 Like this, l-I...
00:58:15 You know, that was Charlie
00:58:17 Ah, no, no, no.
00:58:24 Un arbre.
00:58:30 Oiseau.
00:59:37 So, uh, are you an actual rapper?
00:59:42 No, he's the rapper.
00:59:45 Mm.
00:59:48 I'm Jasminda, by the way.
00:59:51 Gemma for short.
01:00:00 Bollocks!
01:00:21 Oh.
01:00:33 Shh.
01:00:59 - Viva La Armstrong!
01:01:16 - Be in touch.
