Эмили в Париже: День рождения Эмили

I have one more piece of business before we wrap up. First, Rimowa loves the Cadault collab, so I'm hoping that their enthusiasm will sway Pierre.

aɪ hæv wən mɔr pis əv ˈbɪznɪs ˌbiˈfɔr wi ræp əp. fərst, rimowa ləvz ðə cadault collab, soʊ əm ˈhoʊpɪŋ ðət ðɛr ɪnˈθuziˌæzəm wɪl sweɪ piɛr.

Second, it's my birthday tomorrow, and I wanted to invite you all to a dinner party at my place.

ˈsɛkənd, ɪts maɪ ˈbərθˌdeɪ təˈmɑˌroʊ, ənd aɪ ˈwɔntɪd tɪ ˌɪnˈvaɪt ju ɔl tɪ ə ˈdɪnər ˈpɑrti æt maɪ pleɪs.

Excellent! I'll be there.

ˈɛksələnt! aɪl bi ðɛr.

Well, merci beaucoup, Emily, for the invitation. But first, Pierre is not at all swayable to the idea of working with Rimowa. He was on the verge

wɛl, mərˈsi ˌboʊˈku, ˈɛmɪli, fər ðə ˌɪnvɪˈteɪʃən. bət fərst, piɛr ɪz nɑt æt ɔl swayable tɪ ðə aɪˈdiə əv ˈwərkɪŋ wɪθ rimowa. hi wɑz ɔn ðə vərʤ

of not wanting to work with Savoir anymore. Luckily, Julien massaged his nerves, and he saved us from losing a client. And now Julien will be running

əv nɑt ˈwɑnɪŋ tɪ wərk wɪθ savoir ˌɛniˈmɔr. ˈləkəli, ˈʤuliən məˈsɑʒd hɪz nərvz, ənd hi seɪvd ˈjuˈɛs frəm ˈluzɪŋ ə klaɪənt. ənd naʊ ˈʤuliən wɪl bi ˈrənɪŋ

point on the account.

pɔɪnt ɔn ðə əˈkaʊnt.

Oh, great. I still have to tell Rimowa that the idea they love isn't happening.

oʊ, greɪt. aɪ stɪl hæv tɪ tɛl rimowa ðət ðə aɪˈdiə ðeɪ ləv ˈɪzənt ˈhæpənɪŋ.

They do look good.

ðeɪ du lʊk gʊd.

No, I'm not dealing with this today. That is my birthday present to myself.

noʊ, əm nɑt ˈdilɪŋ wɪθ ðɪs təˈdeɪ. ðət ɪz maɪ ˈbərθˌdeɪ ˈprɛzənt tɪ ˌmaɪˈsɛlf.

This is also for you.

It's my Chicago deep-dish pizza from Madeline! Yum!

ɪts maɪ ʃəˈkɑˌgoʊ deep-dish ˈpitsə frəm ˈmædəlɪn! jəm!

Oh, my God! This looks so good!

I know! We have to send Bill and Jean a photo.

aɪ noʊ! wi hæv tɪ sɛnd bɪl ənd ʤin ə ˈfoʊˌtoʊ.

What? You're on a first-name basis with my parents now?

wət? jʊr ɔn ə first-name ˈbeɪsɪs wɪθ maɪ ˈpɛrənts naʊ?

We discussed it in the text thread. You just never respond.

wi dɪˈskəst ɪt ɪn ðə tɛkst θrɛd. ju ʤɪst ˈnɛvər rɪˈspɑnd.

Bonsoir! Hi. So, I brought you the good stuff. The Grand Cru of Domaine de Lalisse champagne. Bon anniversaire, ma chérie.

bonsoir! haɪ. soʊ, aɪ brɔt ju ðə gʊd stəf. ðə grænd cru əv doʊˈmeɪn də lalisse ʃæmˈpeɪn. bɑn anniversaire, mɑ chérie.

You are too much!

ju ər tu məʧ!

I climbed a tree and hung over 20 feet of fairy lights?

aɪ klaɪmd ə tri ənd həŋ ˈoʊvər 20 fit əv ˈfɛri laɪts?

Okay, you both have done too much then. But I feel very, very lucky.

ˌoʊˈkeɪ, ju boʊθ hæv dən tu məʧ ðɛn. bət aɪ fil ˈvɛri, ˈvɛri ˈləki.

You are. Okay, I'm going to take this upstairs and let it chill.

Sure.

ʃʊr.

So, who's coming to this dinner?

soʊ, huz ˈkəmɪŋ tɪ ðɪs ˈdɪnər?

It's you, me, Mindy, Gabriel, which you know, and some people from the office.

ɪts ju, mi, ˈmɪndi, ˈgeɪbriəl, wɪʧ ju noʊ, ənd səm ˈpipəl frəm ðə ˈɔfəs.

Happy birthday party! It's La Cousine Bette, one of my favorite Balzac novels. It's about an unmarried middle-aged woman who plots the destruction

ˈhæpi ˈbərθˌdeɪ ˈpɑrti! ɪts lɑ cousine ˈbɛti, wən əv maɪ ˈfeɪvərɪt balzac ˈnɑvəlz. ɪts əˈbaʊt ən ənˈmɛrid ˈmɪdəˌleɪgd ˈwʊmən hu plɑts ðə dɪˈstrəkʃən

of her extended family.

Why did you look at me when you said that?

waɪ dɪd ju lʊk æt mi wɪn ju sɛd ðət?

Anyway, Pierre is doing the luggage.

ˈɛniˌweɪ, piɛr ɪz duɪŋ ðə ˈləgɪʤ.

Oh my God. Did Julien convince him?

oʊ maɪ gɑd. dɪd ˈʤuliən kənˈvɪns ɪm?

No, I did.

noʊ, aɪ dɪd.

Yay!

jeɪ!

No hugs necessary. I did it for the company, but I did bring you a little present for your birthday. Open it!

noʊ həgz ˈnɛsəˌsɛri. aɪ dɪd ɪt fər ðə ˈkəmpəˌni, bət aɪ dɪd brɪŋ ju ə ˈlɪtəl ˈprɛzənt fər jʊr ˈbərθˌdeɪ. ˈoʊpən ɪt!

Wow, a cigarette case. But you know that I don't smoke.

waʊ, ə ˌsɪgəˈrɛt keɪs. bət ju noʊ ðət aɪ doʊnt smoʊk.

Well, it's never too late to start.
