0:01My base hasn't.0:08Now!0:09You can stuff yourself0:15and it'll0:17curse Will even.0:19There, yes.0:21We are gathered here today to celebrate the union of Jason and Marie0:26on this blessed day, and before all of you, they make a solemn promise0:29to cherish and tenderly watch over one another for their entire lives.0:33Marriage requires trust, trust in the other,0:37but also trust in oneself, just like fortune.0:41Love smiles on the bold.0:43And you are one of them.0:47The symbol. I.0:53All my best friends know.1:00Ah! There you are, Helen.1:01Sorry, Carole, I'm late.1:03Again.1:03Staying for the ceremony. It was so moving.1:06Well, don't worry, you're coming.1:09Five orders, three miracle compositions, and two "I'm thinking of you.1:13" Didn't spot any single people at this wedding?1:15No. On the other hand, it was that charming Gregson who was in charge of the buffet and1:19says hello.1:34To the man.1:35Let's party!1:36That's the style.1:45New New Jersey.1:46You make me want to do it and everything.1:52Oh no!1:52Did you ask for all that?1:57You know it's coming?2:01It's leaning a bit to the left.2:04Anything2:06to my left or your mouth?2:09It's perfect, as usual. Oh.2:12You went all the way out of your way here to tease me?2:14Yes, I'd be perfectly capable of it.2:15But not today.2:16I stopped by to give you this.2:20Your horticulture course.2:22It's an application form. Yes, I saw that.2:24Do you want to participate?2:25No, not me. But I was thinking of you, of me.2:28But I don't have any flowers to show.2:30Sorry, but of course I do! Aunt Rose. Mystery.2:33And no kidding, you've been creating new roses for years and this one2:36is your greatest achievement.2:38You're only saying that because you're my best friend.2:40No, I'm saying it because it's the truth.2:42Maybe next year.2:43I was afraid you'd stall since I already signed you up.2:47Are you kidding?2:48No, everything's on track. But you have to fill this out.2:50Because flowers without names can't be submitted to the jury's vote.2:53Come on, go for it! Create this gem.2:55We laugh, we laugh. It's a great name.2:57We laugh. It's perfect.2:59And think about it.3:01Okay, that still works.3:02This is 12, Hélène.3:04I have three more bouquet orders.3:06Thank you, dear.3:08Did you take anyone after all?3:10Yes, I might have to reschedule for lunch3:14. Okay, see you3:16later.3:18Sorry.3:21But no, not anymore.3:24Oh no, of course not.3:26But I don't think you are.3:30You'll get the hang of it quickly.3:31After a few weeks at the shop, you'll be an expert.3:35Why is it called The Rose?3:36A mystery, that one?3:37Because our dear Hélène still hasn't found a name for it.3:40It's one of your creations.3:43How do you create a new rose?3:45Oh! Well, it's all about the art of hand hybridization3:48, and it takes patience.3:49Often, it doesn't work out.3:51You try to find complementary flowers, species that get along3:56, and sometimes from the right3:57combination, something new and wonderful can be born.4:01It smells really lovely.4:03It reminds me of strawberries. Hmm.4:06Oh, sorry.4:07Yes, they have a lot of pollen.4:09I wanted it to appeal to the bees too.4:11Hélène, you've developed dozens of roses.4:13It never took you more than two days to find a name for them.4:16I know. But right now, I'm stuck.4:19The problem is that unnamed flowers aren't selected4:22for the international horticultural competition.4:25Ah, I see that Madame has been talking with Henri.4:27What's this competition you're talking about?4:29The Super Bowl of flower breeders.4:31Only the very best of the best crossbreeds in the world4:34are selected4:37, and people work4:38their whole lives to create a rose worthy of being chosen.4:41It's serious.4:42You have to prepare a little.4:43I think you should introduce yourself, though.4:45Life's worthless without a touch of risk, that's for sure.4:48And besides, you have nothing to lose.5:00And hi.5:01Hi. What are you doing here?5:03I wanted to see you before going to work, but5:06I have two quick questions.5:08No, I haven't come up with a name for my dress.5:11That was my second question.5:14And the first one was, what5:15are you doing? What? Tonight?5:17Bouquets.5:18Look what I've got.5:21Let me make you some in there.5:22It's an invitation from the Brooklyn Metropolitan Gallery for5:26the black and white event.5:27It's at the Botanical Garden this year.5:29The manager, Mr. Carlyle, insists I be present5:32to answer any questions5:33people might have about flowers, plants, and so on.5:36Tonight.5:37My agent, here, look, I've already planned everything. I'm going to buy masks.5:43Why are you laughing?5:44I look much better in a mask.5:45Yes, it does look like Zorro. Classy!5:49Look, I'm sorry, but I can't go with you5:51to a masquerade ball if you only tell me in the morning for the evening.5:55It would take weeks to prepare something like that.5:57Weeks. Oh really? What do you think?5:59Between the dress, the shoes, and thermal underwear?6:02All you have to do is throw on a tuxedo to be stylish.6:04I concede.6:05No, it's true that I...6:09That's very kind, but6:11I'm caught off guard.6:12I wouldn't feel comfortable.6:14Okay, my guard, quickly, and take this too.6:17There's a mask for you in there.6:18That way you're prepared just in case you change your mind.6:21But if you want to invite someone else, no problem.6:33Do you have an invitation for the black and white party?6:35They're impossible to get.6:37Why didn't you tell me you had plans for tonight?6:39Because I don't.6:41Henry just came by to invite me, but I told him I couldn't go.6:44Why do you have to go?6:46An opportunity like this only comes once in a lifetime,6:49but I haven't finished the centerpieces.6:52We can help you with that.6:54The three of us will do it in no time, but I don't even have a dress to wear.6:58My sister works in a shop three blocks from here.7:00They have gorgeous things.7:02You can stop by during my lunch break.7:04So that settles it.7:06Thanks to us, you'll go to that ball.7:11Okay.7:15So, who's your date?7:17Oh no, it's not a date.7:19HENRY. Could we call a faithful friend?7:21He's above all an amazing friend.7:23If he gives you an introduction,7:25it's true, he's a fantastic guy.7:28You've known him for a long time.7:29We met at university.7:31We both studied botany.7:33He went back to Montana after graduating.7:35But we ran into each other again a few years ago7:37when he got a job at the Botanical Garden.7:40Now, give him the short version.7:42Tell him a little about your reunion.7:46I doubt he'll be interested in that story.7:49Yes, I assure you, Cécile, he will.7:53Very well. So, it was a little before7:54Valentine's Day, because it's non-stop in the store.7:58Oh yes.7:58Anyway, one morning he ordered an arrangement for a birth8:01and a magnificent wreath, full8:03of bright blue flowers with a ribbon that says "it's a boy," the same one.8:07And that same morning,8:08he also ordered a bouquet8:09for his brother to celebrate his first day at work.8:13Whatever8:14So, in the end, we mixed up the orders.8:17And no, you delivered the wrong bouquet.8:19Can you imagine his face when he saw the big blue wreath?8:23That's just like me and I...8:25Really, I love this story.8:30And you two had an affair?8:33No, no.8:34I believe in love, in love at first sight, in love at first sight.8:38Yet, you're the one who should know, Hélène.8:41The most beautiful flowers take time to bloom.8:44Mom said it over and over again; as soon as Dad met his gaze,8:47she knew he was the one.8:49Not all love stories necessarily begin that way.8:52Yes, I know, but8:54that's what I dream of.8:59So, what's the verdict?9:02Oh, he...9:04You look magnificent!9:06Isn't it a bit much?9:07You're going to be the belle of the ball.9:10Is it just me, or is something missing?9:12Maybe earrings?9:14Oh, I know, I have exactly what we need.9:16I came to get you from home especially.9:18I had a feeling it might come in handy.9:24It belonged to your mother.9:26Yes, I remember.9:29It's so beautiful.9:30They're flowers, aren't they?9:33The flower of the victorious gladiators of Rome,9:36it's a symbol of courage.9:39So it's the perfect accessory9:42for an evening of adventure.9:45There was no one braver than Mom.9:48I would have found so much of her in you.9:52That's true.9:53Of course it's true.10:34But. Yes.10:50With all these people, I really thought I'd never find you.10:54What? What's wrong?10:56It's the dress.10:58Yes, it's a bit much, isn't it?10:59No, I was going to tell you it was perfect.11:04You don't look awful.11:06No. Sorry. I'm sorry.11:09I made a mistake.11:09The masked man.11:20Good evening.11:21Yes. Yes. Who else would it be?11:25Yes, of course.11:25I'm so glad you could come.11:27I'm glad too.11:28You look absolutely beautiful.11:31Thank you. And you?11:32You're stylish. Dressed badly.11:36I don't like suits.11:37I know, I'm calm.11:38But I look like I'm going to play the accordion at my uncle's wedding.11:40And that's a good thing. You need to learn patience.11:43Are you serious?11:43I think that's it.11:44But there you go. It's perfect.11:47Yes, thank you. Okay.11:53I can't believe I'm here.11:55It seems so unreal.11:57Why have you been here hundreds of times?11:59We had lunch right here a week ago.12:00I'm not even going to mention the place and everything else.12:03Look around you. Did you see all these beautiful people?12:05There are artists, debutantes, people from high society.12:11And what's the difference,12:13huh?12:13A debutante is necessarily from high society,12:15so where's the difference? I don't know.12:17There aren't any. That's not the point.12:19The point is...12:21I don't feel like I belong, that's it. That?12:23Please.12:26Around us, there are only important people, and I'm just me.12:29I'm just Hélène.12:32We're at a masquerade ball, so tonight,12:36you can be whoever you are.12:41Your own. There12:47you go.12:49Let me see.12:52And FYI,12:55personally, I'm a big fan of just Hélène.12:58Yes, yes,13:00miss.13:04I'm really13:05glad you managed to escape the shop for a few hours.13:08I know it's difficult at this time of year.13:10February at the florists, I don't know about the sensitive souls.13:13Yet, you know better than anyone, there's no point in rushing.13:16Carole wasn't built in a day.13:18No, you didn't dare.13:19If I'm being funny, I admit I made a little joke.13:22Yes, a very, very little one. You.13:26Finally, I think you will.13:28You have to step out of your comfort zone from time to time13:31and open yourself up to new experiences. Well said.13:33So let's drink to audacity13:36and seizing opportunities.13:44Do you feel like dancing?13:46Do you promise not to step on my feet?13:48No, I'd be too afraid of breaking my word.13:50But I promise I'll try. Okay, that's something. Okay.13:53But do it too.13:54Oh no, that's asking too much.13:56I think it's better to give up right now.13:58Too much stress.13:59Good evening.14:02Henri would have liked Carla.14:05Excuse me for interrupting.14:06I have to kidnap you.14:08It's alright, go ahead.14:09It'll give me time to go see the paintings at auction.14:11Oh, we have to go. There are some truly beautiful paintings.14:13Well,14:15I don't really know how long we have,14:16but as soon as I'm done, I'll go looking for you.14:19Yes, okay, yes, go ahead. Okay,14:23thank you.14:31We absolutely must make a good impression.14:33This man is a shrewd investor.14:35That's exactly what we're doing. We might be able to.14:37Of course, Mr. Carla, I understand.14:39That said, to be perfectly honest with you,14:42since you confided in me that the garden14:43was having financial difficulties, I've been exploring contingency plans.14:46With any luck, you won't need them.14:47Now we come to Mr. Grey.14:49This is our scientific advisor, the talented botanist Henri Henri.14:53I'd like to introduce you to Andrew Green.14:54Pleased to meet you, sir. Likewise.14:56This is my wife, Julie.14:57It's a pleasure.14:58Listen, frankly, the pleasure is all mine.15:00What you've put together is wonderful.15:02Thank you.15:03Henri is here to answer all your questions, of course.15:05Perfect!15:06He'll give you all the necessary answers, short or long.15:11I have quite a few questions.15:12Henry has all the time in the world. Yes.15:27So this.15:27This. This. His.15:52You're planning to bid and laugh.15:56At her?15:58Please, don't run away again.16:00I think my ego would have a hard time with it.16:03I'm sorry about earlier.16:05You mistook me for someone else.16:06I know, I understand.16:09But now.16:14Well.16:18No, I doubt I'll leave again.16:20But it doesn't hurt to try.16:35My mother saw a painting like this16:37when I was little, in a pretty wooden frame.16:42It must have been a standing woman.16:45She was an artist.16:47She traveled to the four corners of the world16:50painting people and landscapes.16:53She died when I was ten.16:57And here I am, telling my life story to a stranger.17:00Well, that can be remedied by the fact that I'm a stranger.17:05My name is...17:05Oh, my!17:07That's the first time anyone's reacted to it.17:08Especially since I said it.17:11No, it was the17:12flower in your buttonhole that made me react. Oh!17:16It didn't have its name where I bought it.17:18It's a unique hybrid.17:20You won't find it anywhere else. Ah!17:23You seem to know a lot about flowers.17:26Do you work for the botanical garden?17:29Or something like that?17:31Well, perhaps you could show me your favorite flowers?17:34I'd like to learn a bit more. Oh!17:39I'm waiting for a friend, actually.17:42Maybe another time.17:47Wait.17:51With pleasure.17:54After you.18:02So tell me, why this love of flowers?18:05Well, my father died a few months before I was born.18:07But he was in the navy and traveled all over the world.18:12When he started seeing my mother, he sent her dried flowers18:16from the different countries he visited.18:18She kept them all in an album.18:20that we used to leaf through every night before I went to sleep.18:23She told me stories about him and flowers.18:28Flowers18:29are a language in their own right.18:32They help us communicate, create connections.18:36How so?18:39Well, for example,18:40erosion is a sign of friendship,18:44and white is traditionally associated with affection.18:48But it can also symbolize purity or innocence.18:52And tell me a little about this one.18:59Lavender?19:01And what does it symbolize?19:04Love at first sight?19:07You know what I just realized?19:10I didn't ask you your name?19:13Uh. I'd rather not say.19:15Why?19:18Well, I think anonymity is part of the charm of a masked ball.19:22That's the basic principle.19:24To make a point.19:25Okay, we'll keep it anonymous.19:30You probably think I'm silly. Not at all.19:34Let's continue.19:39I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the botanical garden19:42for hosting our gala evening.19:43Truly, I'm entirely at your disposal.19:45So, if you'd like to win a painting, now's your chance.19:52Oh no!19:53What is it?19:53The lady upped the ante.19:55You know, not so long ago, I would have given up.19:58But not tonight.20:00This painting is mine.20:01You'd better hurry then.20:11Oh, that's a lot.20:25I've got it!20:25I did it.20:29Oh! She saw me.20:32She's coming back.20:34I have an idea. Don't move.20:36Here, good evening.20:38Remind20:41her then, I mistook you for someone.20:43I'm delighted to have met you.20:46Best of luck. Goodbye20:47.20:53So I say.20:55Congratulations. Thank you.20:57I know exactly where I'm going to hang it.21:00The music has just started up again.21:02Shall we dance to celebrate your acquisition?21:05Gladly.21:19You promise not to step on my feet?21:21Of course.21:29When I think I almost21:30didn't come at all.21:35I often find these kinds of parties boring,21:37just like conversations with strangers.21:43You're a wonderful surprise. A.21:53It's time to go.21:56I'm sorry.21:57I have to let you go.21:59I didn't realize how quickly the time had passed.22:00Friends, I met you for me.22:27Ah, there you are!22:30I just had an amazing evening.22:32But where were you?22:34I looked for you near the auction, but...22:36You didn't get my message. Your message?22:38I left my phone in the cloakroom.22:40Excuse me.22:42I'm so sorry.22:42I just had to push for you to come to this gala and then I...22:47I left you alone all evening.22:48No, actually no, I didn't.22:50I didn't spend the evening alone.22:52I met someone.22:54Before. Who?22:55A man who was wearing a mask.22:57I know all the men there are wearing masks,23:00but he was charming.23:01And we strolled through the garden. We danced.23:04Yeah.23:05It seems like he really made an impression on you.23:08I'm sure of it.23:10I'm even surprised. So what?23:13This masked seducer has a name, I suppose.23:16Yes, he has a name like everyone else.23:19The thing is, I don't know it. He.23:28Good evening.23:29So, I'd like to retrieve painting number 4323:33of 43.23:37It's a mother and daughter in a field of flowers.23:40Oh, it's already gone.23:43But I won it.23:45I was the last healer. Your name?23:48Helene Russell.23:50Helene Russell.23:53Oh! Did someone make a final offer?23:55When I brought back the ledgers.23:56I'm sorry.24:04But we're there.24:14Look,24:16I'm opening the door for you.24:17That's kind of you. Yes.24:21Well, thank you.24:23I had a wonderful evening.24:25And once again, I'm sorry I disappeared.24:27For so long.24:28Don't worry, it's not your fault.24:30And then24:32I met someone lovely.24:34Yes, that's clear.24:38Good night.25:54Hello.25:55You really don't know anything about him there?25:57Not really, no.25:58Unfortunately, nothing at all.25:59Neither his name, nor his job, nor his shoe size.26:02The problem is,26:03it was a masked ball, so I wanted to play the mystery card.26:07Well, there's the time.26:08What do you mean, you have to find him?26:11Uh. You've already forgotten?26:12No name, no job, no shoe size?26:16And then,
does all this bother me a little? I admit.26:19But it's okay, it's been a wonderful adventure.26:24It might not be over yet.26:25If he was wearing a mystery rose in his buttonhole, that's bound to be good.26:28At home, for sure, but I have loads of buttonholes on me.26:31If he paid by card,26:34we'll have his name.26:40I have another one, Norman Becker.26:43No, that's Becker's husband who runs the tea room on Jet Street.26:47I would have recognized him.26:49And the last one, he must have paid in cash.26:53So we missed one.26:56A Mystery Pink buttonhole.26:58Purchase date February 6th, the day of the gala, by a certain Charles Brad Fields.27:04Charles Brad Field.27:06Now, I think you're onto something.27:09They might have a guest list at the Botanic Gardens.27:11It's possible.27:12Well.27:13Yeah. So, what are you waiting for?27:16Go find it.27:17What? Right now? Of course, right now.27:19Can't I leave the store in the middle of the day?27:22No, of course I can, provided I'm going on a delivery.27:25And I think today's your lucky day.27:28And that's.27:29What.27:30I'll bring you your jacket?27:31Uh. I don't really know. I'm keeping the shop.27:34I'll stick to easy arrangements.27:37Um. How's the delivery going?27:42And remember everything we've discussed.27:45Great!27:56I have a delivery for Thursday.27:58Oh, what a wonderful bouquet!28:00Come in!28:04Oh! Oh!28:07Magnificent!28:09I wonder who it could be from.28:13Happy birthday to you.28:16In the sunshine of my life.28:18I'm loading.28:23George, he's my husband.28:27He died last winter.28:29He must have foreseen this.28:33It seems he loved you very much.28:35Oh yes.28:36And yet, I almost didn't put it down.28:39Why did I panic on the wedding day?28:42Oh, but that happens very often.28:44Perhaps.28:45But I wanted to escape through the window during the march of the "no's."28:49I must say that at the time, I was much more agile.28:53Why did you change your minds then?28:56George found me.29:00And we had a very long discussion, he and I.29:03He let me pour out all my anxieties29:06, and when I was finished, he took my hand29:09and looked me straight in the eye.29:12"Would you prefer we cancel?"29:17And then I knew.29:17I had made the right choice.29:18I was relieved.29:22It's a beautiful story. I'm29:27so glad I seized my opportunity.29:48Hélène, what are you doing here?29:51We were supposed to have lunch together.29:52I'm sorry.29:53I'm so busy that... No, no, no, we didn't have any plans. I was29:55just dropping by.29:59Oh, well, you'd have to...30:04There's no flower problem that can't be untangled.30:06It's not about flowers.30:08It's about plants. No.30:09Neither flowers nor plants. It's about Charles Maurras.30:12Who is Charles?30:13That's what we're going to try to find out.30:23Normally,30:24he doesn't give out the guest list, but I used my charm30:27and lied, saying we needed it for our records.30:31So here it is.30:32Okay, this is the moment of truth. Very well.30:36Thank you.30:43So, what do you think?30:45No, I don't see his name anywhere.30:47Well, what happens now?30:50I have no idea. No30:53idea.30:55For now, all hope is not lost.30:56We can try to find him on the internet30:59without having any idea of his address.31:00Can you imagine how many results there will be?31:02You see.
It would have been better if you'd fallen31:03head over heels for an Alejandro, for example, wouldn't it?31:07You don't hear that every day.31:08I'll pay more attention next time.31:10Good.31:16Do you think it's him?31:17I don't know31:19for a second. Him?31:28Excuse me.31:28Sorry.31:32Charles. Yes.31:34No, sorry. It's another Charles.31:35Excuse me.31:36Okay. Very pretty.31:37Thank you. I just bought it.31:40Excuse me.31:40Sorry,31:42sorry.31:44Charles.31:47Uh, no.31:47Peter. Sorry, it happens. Have a good day.31:53It was him.31:54His salary?31:54That's irrelevant.31:57It's about time I got back to running.32:18Excuse me.32:19Yes. What can I do for you?32:21What is this dress?32:22I've never seen one like it anywhere else.32:24Oh, this is exclusive to our store.32:27You're in the only place in the world where you can buy it.32:30And what's its name?32:31Well, for now, we're calling it the Mystery Rose.32:35Would you be interested in an assortment?32:37Another time? I came in to order a wedding bouquet. Oh!32:40Well, I'll show you our different arrangements.32:42Unless you'd prefer to choose?32:44Yes, I'll make my own arrangement.32:46Perfect.32:47I'll take your order as well.32:53None of these films seem to match.32:56And there are loads of them. It's unbelievable!32:59We don't even know if that's really his name.33:00What's more,33:03I think it's over.33:05Yeah, but maybe that's for the best.33:08Why do you say that?33:09Well, you don't know the guy.33:10He might be a jerk who never leaves a tip.33:17You know, last month,33:18a customer asked me for 50 orange blossoms at the shop.33:22In January.33:23Yeah, I know, I tried to steer him towards something else,33:26but it was no use. It was orange blossoms or nothing.33:28He told me he and33:29his girlfriend33:30had met in an orangery33:31and he wanted to surprise her.33:33Yeah, so mimosa was completely out of the question.33:36And so I made a dozen phone calls until I found some.33:40We had them delivered express and the next day,33:43we had a meeting right here, under this tree.33:47I helped him scatter the petals all over the ground33:51, and an hour later, his girlfriend joined him33:53, and he proposed to her, getting down on one knee at the foot of the tree.33:57And she said yes, yes!34:00In that case, it's a very beautiful story.34:05I love my job;34:07I love the idea of being part of these moments,34:11of helping so many people connect.34:15I think I was hoping34:17that this time, it would be different34:20, just a one-off.34:22That I would be the one living a wonderful fairy tale.34:26But oh well, it's not so bad.34:29And here we are. That's it.34:30Right? Maybe there's still hope?34:32Oh no, I suspect it's probably just not meant to be.34:46Here.34:48No, thank you.34:50Rest for a minute.34:54That's kind of you.34:57So34:58I heard you were looking for a mysterious man.35:02It was nothing at all.35:04Tell me more.35:04Anyway.
Nothing at all.35:08I met someone.35:09Gala. And that's nothing at all for you.35:12I had a glimmer of hope, but it only lasted a minute.35:17Hmmmmmm.35:21What?35:21Oh, I didn't say anything.35:22No, but you've given us your idea, which speaks volumes!35:25What is it?35:26And why not? Laughing?35:29Aunt Carole, how many times have I told you?35:31We're friends, that's all.35:32Listen, you can say what you want,35:34but I've been watching you for years.35:36There's a real understanding between you.35:38Frankly, I don't understand35:39why you're wasting your time chasing after this mysterious man35:41when you have a real gentleman right here.35:43Weren't you the one who said I should be more adventurous this time?35:47It would really be taking35:48the easy way out to start a relationship with my best friend.35:51Oh, darling, it's not easy opening your heart to someone you love.35:56It's actually the scariest thing in the world.36:01Yeah.36:02Anyway, it doesn't matter, since36:06he's not in love with me.36:09What about you?36:09Are you in love with him? No.36:14You don't seem very sure of yourself.36:25There you go.36:27Thank you. Good evening.36:29Good night.36:30I'd like a coffee, but I don't have any change.36:32Can I pay you with this?36:34Of course, no problem.36:38Oh, excuse me.36:40Sorry, but36:42you wouldn't happen to be Charles, would you?36:44That's why I think you can36:47help me.37:10Hello?37:14Hi37:16and hi.37:17Thank you for coming.37:20I'm glad to be calling you, actually.37:23It's good that we're seeing each other because37:25there's something I'd like to do as well.37:27Oh, really? Go ahead. The honor.37:30Uh, no, you first.37:32I found it.37:37Right away.37:38Really?37:42Love it.37:43It's the trademark.37:46It was the same with the first one.37:50I thought we had to remain anonymous.37:55I changed my mind.37:57Nothing could have pleased me more.38:00I'm delighted to meet you,38:03Hélène.38:11Whoa, Joker!38:14Did you put your painting on the wall?38:17Oh! Oh no, actually, I didn't win it.38:21But someone must have placed a bid on the sly, so I missed out.38:24Wow! That's really unsportsmanlike.38:27If I hadn't participated, I would have left without the painting, and then38:30I would have had regrets.38:31But I took my chance, and I know that in the end, the result is the same.38:35But strangely, I'm taking it well.38:37It's true.38:38No, I really wanted that painting.38:43I have to confess something.38:47Well, here I am, back again.38:52That's right.38:55I scanned the dance floor, and when I realized you'd left38:58young, I asked around to see if anyone knew your name.39:01But no one could help me.39:04Apparently, asking the woman who loves flowers39:07doesn't get you very far in a botanical garden.39:13I'm really glad39:14your friend came to see me.39:19Me too.39:20He's a lawyer at a very prestigious firm in the city,39:24but his job takes him around a lot.39:26Last month, he was in Rome, just before Paris.39:30In France.39:31Not Paris. In Texas.39:33But before Texas, he'd been to Milan39:36, and he rides horses.39:38He's very close to his family, and he speaks three languages, too.39:42Wow!
It seems Mr. Perfect really is the perfect man.39:47No, nobody's perfect. Yes,39:49but it's true, he's not far off.39:53I can't believe you found it.39:55I just got lucky, that's all.39:57Yes, but you did a great job.39:59I owe you a lot, so you can ask me for anything.40:03Anything I want. Anything40:04you want.40:06Find a name for your rose and complete your competition entry.40:10Believe it or not, I'm seriously considering it.40:13That's right, yes.40:14I'm starting to think it might be worth taking a risk.40:35What should we call it?40:38A lady?40:47Cupid's arrow?40:52Are you kidding40:54me? A rose?40:57Heartbeat?40:58No, that's no good either.40:59That's rubbish.41:01I'll have to go now, sir.41:03I have another appointment.41:04But really, I wish you both the best of luck from the bottom of my heart.41:07Well, thank you for taking the time to see us.41:09Thank you again. Yes, thank you.41:23We still have some options up our sleeve.41:26I think this was our last hope41:28before we had to close.41:31Please know that I appreciated your work and your determination.41:34And yes, I want the transition to go as smoothly as possible.41:39So if I can ever recommend someone, I'd be delighted41:42to help you get back on your feet.41:46If I can help you at all.41:48Let me know, don't hesitate.41:50Thank you.41:53A new chapter begins, but...42:03Henry.42:05Oh! Hello Charles.42:07I'm pretty sure that was you. Are you here to meet up?42:09No, I have a business meeting,42:11but I really wanted to thank you for acting as an intermediary.42:14Hélène, and Hélène is an exceptional woman, we can all agree on that.42:19I hope it works out.42:21Yes, of course, I'm certain42:24it will . La. Rose.42:30Blanche42:32was looking for a simple and effective name.42:35I'm sure it's already been registered.42:38I hear you've found one, Charles.42:40That's right.42:40I saw her again. Yes. And then?42:42Well, it was great!42:43We talked a lot, like the night of the gala42:47, and you're going to see him again. I don't know about that.42:49He didn't ask me anything then?42:50And what? What are you going to do?42:53Oh, I'll43:08be back in a minute.43:12Ah, that's right, it was over there.43:13There you go.43:16Hello Hélène.43:18I was just calling to see if you had any plans for this evening.43:21Not at the moment.43:23So, would you like to meet up43:26? When do we have dinner together? With pleasure.43:28We can just meet at 6 p.m.43:33Uh, no, our idea43:36is the Yellow Star Bistro or why not? Oh43:40Oh!43:42I'd love to try their crazy food.43:43That's a very good idea.43:46And then, we could maybe take her.43:49She loves boats, go down to the harbor and see the boats.43:53It will be the perfect evening.43:56And yes, I sometimes make a detour on my way home43:59to go by the marina.44:01It's so beautiful, all those lit-up boats!44:03Thank you, Father, I'm very happy.44:05Well, see you later.44:08Late.44:10Well done.44:11Yes, I was impressed.44:13Just before Valentine's Day, you're our personal Cupid.44:18Thank you.44:30Thank you.44:38Good evening.44:41Hi.44:42What are you doing here?44:43I saw you as I was walking by.44:44So I just said44:46good evening.44:47Good evening.44:50Charles is going to join me for dinner at [location].44:55He called to say he'd be late.44:57Would you like me to keep you company until he arrives?45:00That would be lovely. Thank you.45:03This is at least the third time the waiter has come to refill my water glass.45:06He must think I've been stood up.45:08Oh, I doubt it.45:11Oh, I know we were supposed to come here together.45:13I'm sorry, but... No, it's not a big deal.45:15However, I demand a report on the strawberry cake.45:17Of course.45:18Okay, I can't believe it was the place I was dying to try.45:22It's like we were meant to be.45:24To think I45:25seriously hesitated to look for it again after the gala.45:29I would have missed out.45:30It's really worth taking risks.45:34Quarries,45:36you know?45:37Don't you remember45:39Spring Break, our last year?45:40You saw everyone jumping into the water, didn't you?45:42I don't know how many meters, but you didn't want to.45:44You refused to try.45:46You'd get close to the edge and every time, you'd turn back.45:49It was crazy. It's true.45:51But in the end, before everyone else went back in,45:54you jumped in like a pro.45:57If you hadn't held my hand,45:59I never would have found the courage to jump in.46:02Do you remember what you told me right after?46:06That I felt like I was flying. And.46:10I should have decided sooner.46:14Hi.46:14Sorry I'm late.46:15Oh, don't worry, Henry.46:18Henry saw me through the window and came over to say good evening.46:20That's very kind of him. I saved you a seat.46:23Thank you.46:24I appreciate it.46:25Well then, I wish you a good evening.46:27Thank you, Henry.46:29You're welcome46:30. Good evening. At.46:48The pace.46:49What? A coffee? Oh, Valentini.46:52You're just in time. Ah yes.46:55I've found a name for the rose and finalized the registration.46:57Wow! Congratulations!47:00What will you do if you win? Uh.47:02Everything in its own time, not to be rushed.47:05You're right.47:05But I could accompany you to the awards ceremony, please.47:08What?47:09I'm just.47:10No, seriously, I'm proud of you.47:12Very proud47:13that you're taking the bull by the horns.47:15Me too, I'm quite proud.47:17So, what name did you choose?47:20Well, this whole adventure is a bit like taking the plunge for me.47:23You agree? But I'm with you.47:25So I named her Crystal the Rose.47:28Crystal.47:31I love it.47:33Me too.47:37What are you doing tonight?47:40I was planning to finish some work late.47:43Why don't you want to come over for dinner?47:47With pleasure.47:48Oh, great!47:50Charles will be here too.47:52I want him to meet Carole.47:54It'll be nice to all have dinner together.47:56Yes!47:59It seems to be going well.48:03Listen, honestly, I've had a fantastic week.48:05I might actually experience a real Valentine's Day this year.48:09You know.48:12I'm extremely happy for you.48:15It's a yes.48:15So, of course. Here48:25you go.48:26Selected poems by Emily Dickinson.48:29Yes, Ellen48:30loves putting quotes from her poems on the sign outside the shop.48:34But don't you think she'd prefer a bracelet48:37or something?48:37No, no, no!48:40She'll be over the moon, believe me. And it's her.48:42It's the first edition too,48:45that's fantastic.48:46I didn't think you'd give me something, did you?48:49Good advice, but thank you.48:51Thank you so much.48:52It caught my eye several times when I walked48:54past the bookstore window, so I don't really deserve any credit.48:57Are you sure you wouldn't prefer to give it to her yourself?49:01No, no, no, no, it will have much more impact coming from you, believe me.49:06Thanks again. Here it is.49:08That's really very generous of you.49:09No problem, see you tonight.49:16It's open.49:17Come in.49:19Good evening.49:20I made our specialty.49:23I'm so glad you were able to come.49:24I wasn't going to miss the chance to meet your Prince Charming.49:27I'll help in the kitchen.49:28Yes, please. Okay.49:32And so here she is coming towards me.49:34She corners me,49:35talking a mile a minute and I can't interrupt her.49:38Because she was absolutely convinced that the man standing before her49:41was a wreck.49:43Yes, well, to be fair, everyone was wearing a mask.49:46Didn't you tell me about that?49:48Well, it's a bit awkward.49:50I think it's the most romantic story I've49:53ever heard.49:54It's like a real fairy tale.49:56I admit she bewitched me immediately.50:00So tell us, Charles, what do you do in your free time?50:03Well, at the moment, I don't have much.50:04To be honest, I'm very busy with work.50:07I have extremely demanding clients.50:09Like us.50:09At this time of year,50:11Valentine's Day is a real challenge50:13. There's only one other event that makes florists tremble like this50:15: Mother's Day.50:17Oh no, don't tell me we're going to do this again in a few months.50:20I don't even know if I'll survive February 14th,50:22but by Mother's Day, you'll be a pro.50:24Yes, a real warrior.50:27I'm not sure it's really comparable.50:31Hmm. Maybe so.50:33I imagine we...50:35You know, Carole and Hélène go to the flower market every day at 5 a.m.50:39And then there are the long days at the shop50:41and sometimes long hours of night work in the greenhouse.50:45I'm not implying you're twiddling your thumbs.50:47Of course, I know.50:50When I manage to free up a little time,50:51I don't say no to a game of poker.50:54Oh, my husband loved poker too.50:56He played every Thursday night, remember? Hélène?50:58Of course.51:00Yes, another passion that binds Hélène and me.51:03Definitely.51:07Didn't you tell me you were into poker?51:09Oh, I must have forgotten then.51:12Her uncle tried countless51:14times to get her to play, but she was never interested.51:17We had a good laugh about it.51:18I had a revelation.51:19It's recent then, because I wanted to teach you last year,51:22but you practically threw the cards in my face.51:28Personally, I play half-heartedly, you know.51:35Anyone want more butter?51:36I'd really like to try some.51:38I'll have some more.51:39Thanks.51:45It's going pretty well, isn't it?51:47Yes, yes.51:48But he has. He clearly has.51:52That day.51:55You hate...51:59I don't hate it, you're exaggerating!52:01I can confirm that he hates carrot cake.52:03Maybe I didn't take the time to appreciate it properly.52:08I can open myself up to new horizons.52:09Ah yes, yes, that's good.52:13To new horizons.52:16I'm the one hosting.52:17It's impolite to eat your guests. Well.52:22I have to tell you something.52:26Oh no.52:27What?52:28I know that tone.52:29That's all.52:29What tone? That serious tone?52:33It's bad news.52:34No, no, no, there's nothing alarming, there's just going to be some change.52:37Has the change come?52:38No, it's not bad. Maybe very exciting.52:43Okay, I'm ready.52:45Come on, tell me everything. Quick!52:47Like ripping off the Band-Aids.52:48I don't really know how to announce this.52:50To make it short, Hélène.52:52Your Charley is a real gem.52:55He's kind, he's really nice and he has a lot of charm.52:59He's charming.53:00Yes, yes, he has a lot of charm.53:02It doesn't surprise me, by the way, that you mistook him for me.53:05So funny! He's funny.53:06I'll help you serve.53:08Let's go!53:08It's carrot-flavored.53:09Oh, it's my favorite cake!53:11Ah yes, hers too.53:19That was really nice.53:22It's sincere.53:22You're not just saying that to make me feel better.53:24No, they're all three adorable.53:27Oh, I almost forgot.53:29I have a little gift for you.53:31But it wasn't necessary. No, I know.53:33But I wanted to. Go ahead.53:37I would have brought you53:38flowers, but I was afraid of choosing the wrong color and making a mistake.53:41You wouldn't believe it.53:46A collection of Emily Dickinson's poems.53:50Yes, I was at a bookseller's the other day and I thought of you when I saw it.53:54It's true, it's the first edition.53:57You really did everything perfectly and incredibly well.53:58I love it!53:59Thank you.54:06Bonnie. Hey.54:17Can you imagine?54:18Emily Dickinson?54:20Yes, it's the perfect gift for you.54:21So much beloved Carol.54:23I must say, he praised her cooking skills at least three times.54:27And you?54:28Well, I also think she's54:29a very good cook, but I didn't emphasize it as much, did I?54:32Three. What do you think of him?54:33It doesn't matter what I think, you're the important one.54:35It's important to me that you like him.54:37Oh yes, of course.54:39Why?54:41Because54:44he's my best friend.54:48Well.54:51I think he has many good qualities. That's true.54:54Yes. So, someone deserves to be happy.54:57That's you.55:00But it's true.55:05By the way, what did you want to say earlier?55:07Well, we'll talk about it later.55:16Is this your favorite?55:17I have more.55:18Come on, I'll show you.55:20It's over there, at the back.55:43Here, hi.55:44Hi.55:45Your little drawings are nice. Thank you.55:48It was cool chatting with you.55:49And with you too.55:51We'll have to do this again, all together,55:54with joy.55:56Call it time. Yes.56:11You're glowing this morning.56:14You remember that last night, we pointed out56:16that it was crazy at the store before Valentine's Day.56:20Good.56:21A little while ago, when I arrived, I found this on the counter.56:24Good luck.56:26I hope it helps.56:27I'm not being very nice of you.56:30What? Is it from Charles? Yeah.56:32Who else would give me something like that?56:34I thought...56:39So, what is it?56:39What's the story?56:42What do you mean?56:44Is he seeing someone?56:45Oh! No.56:51Why56:53would you be interested?56:54I don't know.56:56Anyway, we hit it off when you walked Charles home.56:59We chatted, and he has a pilot's license.57:02Did you know that? Yes, yes.57:04He's super smart, funny, and charming.57:08Don't you think?57:09Yes, yes, of course.57:13Oh, the customer is waiting for me.57:25Have a good day too.57:26Goodbye.57:30Hello.57:32Hello Henry.57:33Helen is in the back room.57:35Oh no, I'm sorry.57:37She went out with Charles. Ah!57:40I thought we were supposed to eat together, but I must have gotten the day wrong.57:43Oh! Well, I'll tell her you came by.57:46No, no need.57:48I'll try to run into her later. Okay. Goodbye.58:05No. Henry.58:10Ah, hi. Down.58:12How are you? Feeling good? Very well. And you?58:14But we're so swamped that I thought58:16I'd have to grab a bite to eat to tide me over until this evening.58:19You don't say! I know what it's like.58:22I don't do that.58:23And please.58:24Yes, of course.58:28What are you reading?58:30Oh, and58:32look, something I picked up in the bookstore across the street.58:34I was supposed to have lunch with Hélène, but it fell through.58:37You two have been friends for a long time, since college.58:40And when I moved back to New York, we reconnected.58:43Yes, Hélène told me.58:44It's a great story. Yes,58:46although I doubt it can compete with a misunderstanding.58:49A masked ball.58:51There was a floral misunderstanding.58:52Yes, you're right.58:53Let's say the two stories are tied. So.58:57Every time.59:06And ultimately, actually, I'm hungrier than that.59:09Are you sure?59:09Yes, some have taken a few steps.59:11Okay. I'm with you.59:13I don't know if I believe in destiny, but59:16at that precise moment, I wasn't far from it59:20because I had just moved back to New York59:24to start over. It was.59:27It was a difficult time.59:28I had just gone through a divorce, everything was a bit chaotic and.59:32And the minute I signed for the botanical garden,59:35I knew I'd made a mistake, and I can still see myself.59:39I was sitting in my office wondering if, in the end,59:42this whole move wasn't a colossal, cowardly blunder59:46.59:49With that ridiculous, enormous blue flower wreath.59:53And then I knew.59:56My doubts vanished.59:57I knew59:59I'd made the right decision.1:00:05Damn it.1:00:07What?1:00:08How could I have been so blind?1:00:10What are you talking about? You're in love with Hélène.1:00:12And I'm in love with... No, I'm not.1:00:25And it's been a long time.1:00:34A while.1:00:36Wait.1:00:36Not since the flower misunderstanding.1:00:39Yes, right.1:00:41And you never told her anything.1:00:45I never had the chance.1:00:46There was always something1:00:49at the very beginning, when I came back, when we reconnected, Hélène had a boyfriend,1:00:52and by the time they broke up, I was with someone.1:00:54Anyway, we never managed to be in sync.1:00:57But there you were, just the two of you.1:00:59You finally had the chance. Why did you tell him about Charles?1:01:02Because1:01:05I knew it would make him happy. Oh!1:01:13You're such an angel. Yes,1:01:16okay. Okay.1:01:17Here, it's on the house.1:01:19You need it more than I do.1:01:26I was just standing there.1:01:28And so I spent1:01:28almost an hour with the client scattering orange blossoms under the tree.1:01:33Excuse me, I have to take this off the phone.1:01:35Hello?1:01:36Try to stall. I can be there in 20 minutes.1:01:39Oh, duty calls. No problem.1:01:42I understand.1:01:43I'm about to close a sale.1:01:44When it's done, I'll have more free time again.1:01:46But right now, the stakes are really high.1:01:48I have to get this over with. It seems important.1:01:51Oh yes, I'm negotiating the purchase of the Botanical Garden.1:01:56The purchase of the Botanical Garden.1:01:58It's a prime location.1:01:59My client is going to build a luxury residence there.1:02:03Just a minute.1:02:04You want to replace the Botanical Garden with apartment buildings?1:02:07You didn't know?1:02:09How would I know?1:02:10Well, the Botanical Garden is drowning in debt.1:02:12The situation has become untenable, so he's going to sell it.1:02:18I was convinced.1:02:19You mentioned it.1:02:25Hi.1:02:27Hi.1:02:27Were you planning to tell me one day?1:02:29And tell you what?1:02:31Well, that the Botanical Garden is for sale.1:02:33You heard the news?1:02:35Yes, yes, of course, Charles is negotiating the deal and they want to1:02:38finalize it this week to transform the garden into some ridiculous apartment buildings.1:02:41Helene: The garden has had financial problems for months.1:02:44I tried everything to save it.1:02:46That's why I left you in the evening1:02:48to try and impress a potential investor.1:02:50Andrew Grey.1:02:51A guy, a super rich guy with a diversified portfolio.1:02:54So we were hoping he could save the garden, that he could bail us out.1:02:58But.1:03:00He finally said no.1:03:03But Henry,1:03:06what's going to happen to you?1:03:07Are you going to lose your job?1:03:08Well, since I saw this coming, I1:03:11had time to look for another job1:03:15and I ended up accepting a research position at a park.1:03:19A great job.1:03:21I'll be managing a whole team.1:03:25But that.1:03:26That's excellent news, isn't it? Yes.1:03:31But it's in Arizona.1:03:35In Arizona.1:03:36And I have to be there on the fourteenth.1:03:39But that's next Wednesday.1:03:40Yes, I. You were counting on it.1:03:42I tried. You tried?1:03:44Well, it was too much. So you were overwhelmed.1:03:46We always have time for something like this, but I.1:03:48Never found the right moment to tell you.1:04:17I'm sorry I didn't talk about it sooner. Still, I'm mad1:04:21at you.1:04:25I'm trying.1:04:32You won't be able to make it up to me with a coffee. One.1:04:35I know that's why I brought you a chocolate.1:04:40Not a very fair approach.1:04:47Weird.1:04:49I finally found someone.1:04:54And in the following week,1:04:56I lose the person I care about most.1:04:59And there's no way I'm losing myself.1:05:03I almost feel1:05:04like it's already happened.1:05:20I'm getting "Oh oh1:05:26oh oh!"1:05:30You say.
Also.1:05:36All the time1:05:37again, "You're not."1:05:45And "Oh no!1:05:50" "Oh yes.1:05:54" A point.1:05:57A. It's statistical.1:06:00And no mistake.1:06:02There.1:06:02It's the leech's fault1:06:08!1:06:09When?1:06:13The intern rented Lilas in high school.1:06:18Everyone1:06:20loves me.1:06:24Except the score, it.1:06:31Rings.1:06:34Good evening.1:06:35Hi. I knew I'd find you here.1:06:39Yes, I'm very predictable.1:06:41Sorry.1:06:44I know you have1:06:44a big wedding tomorrow, so I.1:06:47I'm just popping in to say goodbye.1:06:55I can't believe you're going to the other side of the country.1:06:58This week.1:07:00I wanted to come see you earlier, but I'm sorry, I couldn't find1:07:03the time. No, I understand, I assure you. You had everything1:07:06to do. Yes.1:07:15You. 4 p.m.1:07:25And I'm going to miss you terribly.1:07:31Yes, you too.1:07:35Happy Valentine's Day.1:07:44Okay. Wait a minute.1:07:47There.1:07:47That's better.1:07:51To have.1:08:23Said goodbye to Henry.1:08:25Harder than I thought.1:08:27I knew it would be tough.1:08:28But I understand.1:08:30He's your best friend.1:08:31It's normal that you're sad,1:08:33that's for sure. But1:08:36I think I was1:08:39more than sad.1:08:42What do you mean?1:08:44I don't know. I.1:08:46I don't know.1:08:46It's just that1:08:48I think.1:08:49I think I'm waiting for a sign, confirmation1:08:54that I made the right choice.1:08:58Helene.1:09:00Did you just get a package or something? A1:09:03present, a present?1:09:05So1:09:07what is it?1:09:11Oh!

Thank you.1:12:19I heard you visited the botanical garden1:12:21and were considering investing.1:12:23Let's just say I considered investing. Do1:12:27you want to see how things go?1:12:29I'd like you to reconsider.1:12:31Mr. Grey.1:12:33Excuse us for a moment.1:12:34Oh yes, of course.1:12:35Excuse me. Please.1:12:39What are you doing here?1:12:40I'm trying to save the botanical garden. I've practically...1:12:42Seal the deal and you're going to bring in a last-minute buyer.1:12:45I don't understand.1:12:45I can't just stand by while a place1:12:47I love is going to be turned into a parking lot.1:12:49Into a luxury residence.1:12:50I care deeply about this botanical garden, and if I have a chance to save it,1:12:54I have to...1:13:01Look, I admire1:13:02your enthusiasm, sincerely, I assure you.1:13:06Unfortunately, I doubt this garden is1:13:07a profitable investment.1:13:11You said you came1:13:12into my shop, and you're the one with your wife?1:13:16Yes, indeed.1:13:16This isn't a basic arrangement.1:13:19In other words, you selected these flowers yourself.1:13:23Yes, yes, that's right.1:13:24And what motivated your choice then?1:13:27I chose orchids because,1:13:30well,1:13:31they reminded me of Greece.1:13:34That's where1:13:36I met my wife.1:13:38And by the way, the carnations1:13:42are exactly the same color as the dress she was wearing.1:13:45The day I first looked into her eyes.1:13:50And why are you adding this two-tone rose?1:13:53Well, I chose this one because,1:13:57although I've known my wife for a while,1:14:01she'll always hold a certain mystery for me.1:14:05You chose these flowers because they evoked something for you.1:14:08They transported you somewhere.1:14:12Yes, you're right.1:14:15That's what you feel at the Botanical Garden.1:14:17They find treasures from the ends of the earth and bring them back to us1:14:20so we can enjoy them with the people we love.1:14:25I know1:14:26investing in the garden might seem like a risky gamble,1:14:29but I believe the most important things in life1:14:33involve a certain amount of risk.1:14:36If there's something precious at stake,1:14:39it's worth taking1:14:41the leap into the unknown.1:14:52So, what happened?1:14:54Let's just say I made my case.1:14:56He promised to think about it.1:14:58I'll have to call my client and fight for him to win the contract.1:15:01I know.1:15:03And if I win,1:15:05what will become of us?1:15:07You don't stand a chance.1:15:09I'll call Mr.1:15:10Grey every day, if I have to.1:15:11These past few weeks,1:15:12I've realized I can be much more combative than I've been letting on.1:15:16And I can't let this garden disappear.1:15:19Listen, Charles, I understand.1:15:21Don't worry.1:15:24It's not going to work.1:15:29I'm sorry. You1:15:32mustn't.1:15:35You know, the other night at the gala,1:15:38I felt something unique.1:15:41For me, that evening was truly a magical moment.1:15:46Meeting you1:15:48was a dream come true.1:15:50That's the whole problem with dreams.1:15:54You eventually wake up.1:15:58You have to believe.1:16:00Take care of yourself, okay?1:16:05I have a good dozen phone calls to make1:16:07, and I know in advance that I'm going to get yelled at. A.1:16:27Come on, please1:16:28, come here and spit.1:16:33Passengers on flight 2141:16:36are requested to proceed to the boarding gates.1:16:38Hello? Is that you? Right?1:16:41You're the one who found the painting for me.1:16:43Hélène.1:16:43Tell me the truth.1:16:47You were so disappointed to have missed it.1:16:51How did you manage to track it down?1:16:53I had kept the guest list.1:16:56Listen, Hélène. I...1:16:57I'm about to board the plane.1:16:59What's left?1:17:02Excuse me? What did you just say?1:17:05I want you to stay.1:17:08Here?1:17:10I don't understand.1:17:12For two weeks, I've been trying to get moving and take risks.1:17:16But there's one thing1:17:18I don't have the courage to do, and that's tell you how I feel about you.1:17:22But, Charles, what about all this?1:17:26We weren't meant for each other.1:17:27The other in the grief for the passengers.1:17:32I'm going to have to go.1:17:34Yes, honestly, it's a lot to take in.1:17:37I'll call you back.1:17:40Okay.1:17:42I'm sorry.1:17:44No, you mustn't.1:17:46I wish you a good trip. Thank you. See you1:17:48later.1:18:00A flight.1:18:01Taking risks.1:18:02But what happened?1:18:03You can't say I didn't try.1:18:05I first tried to find a masked man1:18:07who turned out to be more of a frog than a prince.1:18:11And then I confessed my feelings to my best friend1:18:14, who jumped on a plane to go to the other side of the country.1:18:17In short, it was a complete disaster.1:18:19Everything backfired.1:18:20Well, not taking risks doesn't necessarily mean success,1:18:24otherwise we'd call it something else.1:18:29I know you1:18:30gave me this necklace so I could be like Mom.1:18:33I feel like I've betrayed you.1:18:34Oh, Hélène, I didn't give you this necklace to change you.1:18:37I gave it to you because you already look so much like her. You're1:18:42kidding me.1:18:43Do you know where she got that necklace?1:18:46In Spain,1:18:48Portugal, France?1:18:51It was a gift.1:18:54From whom?1:18:56From me?1:19:03You gave it to her. Hmm.1:19:06It was the day before she left1:19:08for Paris to study.1:19:11She'd packed all her things1:19:14and was getting ready to leave behind everything she'd ever known.1:19:18Needless to say, she was nervous.1:19:20Quite simply, I'd never seen her so stressed.1:19:23It got to the point where she finally confessed that...1:19:26that she was even thinking of giving up.1:19:29Yet, she wasn't afraid of anything.1:19:31Yes, you're right.1:19:32But she needed to be reminded of that.1:19:34And you're the same.1:19:38I never would have imagined.1:19:41You know, your mother never claimed she wasn't afraid of anything.1:19:44She just said she was ready for anything.1:19:47And I think you inherited that, Adèle.1:19:53Have I ever thanked you, at least?1:19:57For everything you've done for me?1:20:00Oh, Hélène.1:20:02Watching you grow up since you were little is worth all the thanks in the world.1:20:06That will always be my greatest joy.1:20:11You are destined for great things.1:20:15You just have to believe in yourself.1:20:18Carole is on the phone.1:20:49Okay, we have another order to deliver1:20:52for the botanical garden.1:20:54A last-minute Valentine's Day bouquet.1:20:56Would you prefer I cover for you?1:20:58No, no, don't worry,1:21:00I assure you. Very well.1:21:02I have a suggestion. You do the arrangement.1:21:04I'll write the card.1:21:05Okay, you...1:21:30It's ready.1:21:31I'll be right back.1:21:32Oh, there's no rush.1:21:35Oh, and I stumbled upon a wedding.1:21:38I suggested she stop by sometime.1:21:43Good evening, Hélène.1:21:44Finally.1:21:50Carole.1:21:51Happy Valentine's Day.1:21:57Oh, is anyone there?1:22:06Is anyone there?1:22:17Oh yes!1:22:22What are you doing here?1:22:26It was too hard.1:22:28Are the flowers for you?1:22:30Not exactly, no.1:22:32They're for you.1:22:34Here, take the card.1:22:43Say yes.1:22:47Your aunt was kind enough to fill it out.1:22:49For me.1:22:53Helen.1:22:56You're my best friend1:22:59, and over the years we've spent together,1:23:04you've become so much more than that.1:23:10For a while, you drifted away from me, but then,1:23:13out of the blue, you reappeared in my life1:23:17with the wrong bouquet of flowers.1:23:22I loved you then.1:23:27And I still love you now.1:23:30So.1:23:37Ha! Ha!1:23:39Will you marry me?1:23:42Even though it sounds unbelievable, you've motivated me to take the plunge, so.
