Madeline, you're in Adweek.

Yes! I am here to prove that a master's in French does not go to waste.

This is going to be amazing for you.

I have been dreaming of moving to Paris forever. I mean, French men, they love older women, you know? Look at their president. He's young.

He's hot. He married his school teacher.

hiz hɑt. hi ˈmɛrid hɪz skul ˈtiʧər.

Oh, I just emailed you my thoughts on the presentation for the new IBS drug. It's a social initiative to add meditation to your medication.

If you like it, you can pitch it later. Uh, you know, for your last hurrah.

I want you to pitch it.

Seriously?

Seriously. The client has to start getting comfortable with you.

ˈsɪriəsli. ðə klaɪənt həz tɪ stɑrt ˈgɪtɪŋ ˈkəmfərtəbəl wɪθ ju.

Well, I don't want to step on your toes.

wɛl, aɪ doʊnt wɔnt tɪ stɛp ɔn jʊr toʊz.

You're not. You're stepping into my shoes. And you're ready, okay? This is an opportunity for both of us. Come here. Try this.

De L'Heure. It's the latest fragrance from Maison Lavaux.

Mmmm.

I'll be handling them, their account in Paris. What do you think?

aɪl bi ˈhændəlɪŋ ðɛm, ðɛr əˈkaʊnt ɪn ˈpɛrɪs. wət du ju θɪŋk?

It's like wearing poetry.

I'm going to use that.

Hm.

həm.

Oh, that smells really... Does that smell weird to you?

No, just floral.

I'm going to be sick. I'm going to be sick.

Oh. Oh.

oʊ. oʊ.

Can we get a couple of beers here?

kən wi gɪt ə ˈkəpəl əv bɪrz hir?

White wine, actually. Anything French if you have it.

waɪt waɪn, ˈæˌkʧuəli. ˈɛniˌθɪŋ frɛnʧ ɪf ju hæv ɪt.

Waitress For sure.

ˈweɪtrəs fər ʃʊr.

I have some crazy news. Madeline is pregnant.

aɪ hæv səm ˈkreɪzi nuz. ˈmædəlɪn ɪz ˈprɛgnənt.

Madeline?

ˈmædəlɪn?

Mm-hm.

mm-hm.

Like, your boss, Madeline? I thought she was too old to get pregnant.

laɪk, jʊr bɔs, ˈmædəlɪn? aɪ θɔt ʃi wɑz tu oʊld tɪ gɪt ˈprɛgnənt.

Well, so did she. Until she got completely nauseous sniffing this perfume she was planning to promote. She went to the doctor this afternoon.

wɛl, soʊ dɪd ʃi. ənˈtɪl ʃi gɑt kəmˈplitli ˈnɔʃəs sˈnɪfɪŋ ðɪs pərfˈjum ʃi wɑz ˈplænɪŋ tɪ prəˈmoʊt. ʃi wɛnt tɪ ðə ˈdɔktər ðɪs ˌæftərˈnun.

But now that she's pregnant, she's decided she's not going to take the job in Paris.

bət naʊ ðət ʃiz ˈprɛgnənt, ʃiz ˌdɪˈsaɪdɪd ʃiz nɑt goʊɪŋ tɪ teɪk ðə ʤɑb ɪn ˈpɛrɪs.

So, there goes your promotion?

soʊ, ðɛr goʊz jʊr pərˈmoʊʃən?

Not exactly. They still need someone there. Like American eyes and ears to help with the whole transition. So they asked me if I would take the

nɑt ɪgˈzæktli. ðeɪ stɪl nid ˈsəmˌwən ðɛr. laɪk əˈmɛrɪkən aɪz ənd ɪrz tɪ hɛlp wɪθ ðə hoʊl trænˈzɪʃən. soʊ ðeɪ æst mi ɪf aɪ wʊd teɪk ðə

job for a year.

ʤɑb fər ə jɪr.

What? In Paris?

wət? ɪn ˈpɛrɪs?

They said that if I did that they'd guarantee me senior brand manager when I'm back.

ðeɪ sɛd ðət ɪf aɪ dɪd ðət ðeɪd ˌgɛrənˈti mi ˈsinjər brænd ˈmænɪʤər wɪn əm bæk.

Huh.

hə.

So, the apartment there is already all set up, and there's a relocation bonus. And just to explore the idea, here's a spreadsheet I made for the

soʊ, ðə əˈpɑrtmənt ðɛr ɪz ɔˈrɛdi ɔl sɛt əp, ənd ðɛrz ə ˌriˈloʊˈkeɪʃən ˈboʊnəs. ənd ʤɪst tɪ ɪkˈsplɔr ðə aɪˈdiə, hɪrz ə ˈsprɛdˌʃit aɪ meɪd fər ðə

next year. Weeks when you might be able to come to Paris, times I can come back to Chicago, taking into consideration vacation and sick days.

Wait. You're serious?

weɪt. jʊr ˈsɪriəs?

I know it's crazy, but when will we get a chance like this? It'll be an adventure.

aɪ noʊ ɪts ˈkreɪzi, bət wɪn wɪl wi gɪt ə ʧæns laɪk ðɪs? ˈɪtəl bi ən ədˈvɛnʧər.

Unless I missed something, you don't speak French.

ənˈlɛs aɪ mɪst ˈsəmθɪŋ, ju doʊnt spik frɛnʧ.

You look worried.

ju lʊk ˈwərid.

Oh, I'm not worried. It's the French who should be worried.
