Masculin Féminin

Emily in Paris 1×2

Emily Cooper: French is such a funny language. Why is it la plouc and not le plouc?
Sylvie Grateau: I guess it depends on the plouc you're referring to.

Sylvie Grateau: Listen, I... don't agree with your approach. You want everything to be everywhere, accessible to everyone. You want to open doors. I want to close doors. We work with very exclusive brands. And they require mystery, and... you have no mystery. You're... You're very... very obvious.
Emily Cooper: Maybe I am. But... I do understand what it means to be on the outside looking in. I have a perspective that you will never understand because, no, I'm not sophisticated or French, and I don't know how to look like you. That slouchy, sexy, je ne sais quoi thing. But I am the customer that wants it. And you're not because... you've already got it, and you don't even know how you did it.

Sylvie Grateau: Emily unfortunately does not speak French.
Antoine Lambert: And why did you come to Paris?
Emily Cooper: To bring an American perspective from a marketing point of view.
Antoine Lambert: Hm. And how do things look from that point of view?
Emily Cooper: I think you have an amazing, sexy product that could practically induce pregnancy in older women.

Julien: Sylvie is Antoine's mistress. You never flirt with another woman in front of your mistress. It's worse than doing it in front of your wife.

Emily Cooper: But I don't get it. What's the point of being married if you're gonna cheat on your spouse?
Mindy Chen: Uh, maybe after you're married for 20 years, you might feel differently. I mean, the French are romantics, but they're also realists.

Emily Cooper: Come on. The customer's always right.
Mindy Chen: See, no, here the customer is never right.
Emily Cooper: Well, maybe I'll educate the chef a little bit about customer service.
Mindy Chen: You think you're gonna change the entire French culture by sending back a steak?

Emily Cooper: Why is the vagina masculine?
Sylvie Grateau: Pardon?
Emily Cooper: Why is it le vagin, and not la vagin?
Sylvie Grateau: Oh, you mean le vagin... Maybe it's because it's something a woman owns and a man possesses.
Emily Cooper: Your language is seriously effed up.

Emily Cooper: I feel like Alice Through the Looking Glass. It's like up is down. I'll never learn the language or understand anything here. Do you realize this city is laid out in circles? Like they deliberately designed it to confuse us.
Mindy Chen: It's an illogical culture, but it's a beautiful one too. Better to just let it wash over you.
Emily Cooper: Yeah, but that's just it. I'm worried I might drown.

Emily in Paris

Emily in Paris 1×1

Emily Cooper: You lost me at bonjour.

Paul Brossard: I was in Chicago once, and I ate the deep-dish pizza.
Emily Cooper: Ah. That is our specialty. We take a lot of pride.
Paul Brossard: It was, uh, dégueulasse. How you say?
Sylvie: Disgusting.
Paul Brossard: Like a quiche made of cement.
Emily Cooper: Uh... Oh, no, you must have gone to Lou Malnati's.

Paul Brossard: And the people are so fat. Why are they all so fat?
Sylvie Grateau: Well, perhaps from the disgusting food.
Emily Cooper: True, we are in the midst of an obesity epidemic. In fact, Merck was one of our biggest clients. They make a diabetes drug that we marketed the heck out of. Sales went up 63 percent.
Julien: So you create the disease, then you treat the disease, and then you market the treatments of the disease.
Emily Cooper: Well...
Sylvie Grateau: Perhaps stop eating.
Julien: There is no money in that.

Emily Cooper: Cigarettes cause diabetes and cancer.
Paul Brossard: Yes. Well, smoking is a pleasure. And without pleasure, who are we?
Sylvie Grateau: German?

Julien: What are you doing?
Emily Cooper: I've been here since 8:30.
Julien: Pourquoi? We open at 10:30.

Mindy Chen: Do you love it?
Emily Cooper: Uh, yes, of course I love Paris. And the food is so delicious. The fashion, so chic. The lights, so magical.
Mindy Chen: But the people... so mean.
Emily Cooper: I mean, they can't all be mean.
Mindy Chen: Oh, yes, they can. Chinese people are mean behind your back. French people, mean to your face.

Luc: It's a balance. ... I think the Americans have the wrong balance. You live to work. We work to live. Yes, it's good to make money, but what you say is success, I say is punishment.
Emily Cooper: But... I enjoy work... and accomplishment. It... It makes me happy.
Luc: Work makes you happy?!
Emily Cooper: Yes. I mean, it's... it's... it's why I'm here. For work. And look where it's brought me. To this beautiful city.
Luc: Maybe you don't know what it is to be happy.
