Эмили в Париже: Ужин с Минди

Ah. Cute alert! How do you know about this place?

ɑ. kjut əˈlərt! haʊ du ju noʊ əˈbaʊt ðɪs pleɪs?

I live right down there, and every time I pass by, it's packed.

aɪ lɪv raɪt daʊn ðɛr, ənd ˈɛvəri taɪm aɪ pæs baɪ, ɪts pækt.

Ah. Bon appétit.

ɑ. bɑn appétit.

Santé.

santéé.

Santé.

So, what brought you to Paris?

soʊ, wət brɔt ju tɪ ˈpɛrɪs?

Mm. At first, business school. My father insisted, and he's used to getting his way. Uh, he's the Zipper King of China.

mm. æt fərst, ˈbɪznɪs skul. maɪ ˈfɑðər ˌɪnˈsɪstɪd, ənd hiz juzd tɪ ˈgɪtɪŋ hɪz weɪ. ə, hiz ðə ˈzɪpər kɪŋ əv ˈʧaɪnə.

The Zipper King?

ðə ˈzɪpər kɪŋ?

Yes. And also many other kinds of... fasteners. He's got the world by the balls. Literally.

jɛs. ənd ˈɔlsoʊ ˈmɛni ˈəðər kaɪnz əv... ˈfæsənərz. hiz gɑt ðə wərld baɪ ðə bɔlz. ˈlɪtərəli.

And, um, well, it's his dream to have his only child, me, take over the family business.

ənd, əm, wɛl, ɪts hɪz drim tɪ hæv hɪz ˈoʊnli ʧaɪld, mi, teɪk ˈoʊvər ðə ˈfæməli ˈbɪznɪs.

Well, what's your dream?

wɛl, wəts jʊr drim?

Just anything but that. But ever since I was a child, I was obsessed with the idea of living in Paris. So I enrolled in school here and dropped out. I'm used to getting my way, too. Merci.

So that's why you became a nanny?

soʊ ðæts waɪ ju bɪˈkeɪm ə ˈnæni?

Yes, because when my father found out, he cut me off.

jɛs, bɪˈkəz wɪn maɪ ˈfɑðər faʊnd aʊt, hi kət mi ɔf.

Ow. I'm sorry. That's harsh.

oʊ. əm ˈsɑri. ðæts hɑrʃ.

No. No, no, no, it's wonderful. I mean, I'd much rather have my freedom. Otherwise, I'd be living a very predictable life in China. You know, it's funny. I grew up with nannies, and now I am one.

noʊ. noʊ, noʊ, noʊ, ɪts ˈwəndərfəl. aɪ min, aɪd məʧ ˈrəðər hæv maɪ ˈfridəm. ˈəðərˌwaɪz, aɪd bi ˈlɪvɪŋ ə ˈvɛri prɪˈdɪktəbəl laɪf ɪn ˈʧaɪnə. ju noʊ, ɪts ˈfəni. aɪ gru əp wɪθ ˈnæniz, ənd naʊ aɪ æm wən.

Well, I'm very glad you're here.

wɛl, əm ˈvɛri glæd jʊr hir.

Mm-hm.

mm-hm.

This steak isn't cooked at all. Excuse me! Pardon. Monsieur.

ðɪs steɪk ˈɪzənt kʊkt æt ɔl. ɪkˈskjuz mi! ˈpɑrdən. məsˈjər.

Oui.

wi.

I ordered this medium, and it's still kind of bloody.

aɪ ˈɔrdərd ðɪs ˈmidiəm, ənd ɪts stɪl kaɪnd əv ˈblədi.

Elle aimerait son steak mieux cuit, s'il vous plaît.

ɛl aimerait sən steɪk mieux cuit, s'il vu plaît.

Uh, yeah. What she said.

ə, jæ. wət ʃi sɛd.

Yeah. Just make sure to never order the ris de veau.

jæ. ʤɪst meɪk ʃʊr tɪ ˈnɛvər ˈɔrdər ðə ris də veau.

What's that? Rice with veal?

wəts ðət? raɪs wɪθ vil?

No. See, that's what I thought. I think it's brains or balls, but it tastes like ass.

noʊ. si, ðæts wət aɪ θɔt. aɪ θɪŋk ɪts breɪnz ər bɔlz, bət ɪt teɪsts laɪk æs.

The chef tells me the steak is correct.

ðə ʃɛf tɛlz mi ðə steɪk ɪz kərˈɛkt.

Um, well, correct for him, but not correct for me.

əm, wɛl, kərˈɛkt fər ɪm, bət nɑt kərˈɛkt fər mi.

I suggest you try it.

aɪ səˈʤɛst ju traɪ ɪt.

Maybe you suggest he cook it longer?

ˈmeɪbi ju səˈʤɛst hi kʊk ɪt ˈlɔŋgər?

I'll take yours, you take mine.

aɪl teɪk jʊrz, ju teɪk maɪn.

No. Come on. The customer's always right.

noʊ. kəm ɔn. ðə ˈkəstəmərz ˈɔlˌweɪz raɪt.

See, no, here the customer is never right.

si, noʊ, hir ðə ˈkəstəmər ɪz ˈnɛvər raɪt.

Well, maybe I'll educate the chef a little bit about customer service.

wɛl, ˈmeɪbi aɪl ˈɛʤəˌkeɪt ðə ʃɛf ə ˈlɪtəl bɪt əˈbaʊt ˈkəstəmər ˈsərvɪs.

You think you're going to change the entire French culture by sending back a steak?

ju θɪŋk jʊr goʊɪŋ tɪ ʧeɪnʤ ðə ɪnˈtaɪər frɛnʧ ˈkəlʧər baɪ ˈsɛndɪŋ bæk ə steɪk?

Gabriel?

ˈgeɪbriəl?

Emily.

ˈɛmɪli.

Mindy.

ˈmɪndi.

Wait, you're the chef here?

weɪt, jʊr ðə ʃɛf hir?

Oui. Is there a problem?

wi. ɪz ðɛr ə ˈprɑbləm?

No! No. I love it. Everything is perfect.

noʊ! noʊ. aɪ ləv ɪt. ˈɛvriˌθɪŋ ɪz ˈpərˌfɪkt.

You haven't touched it. You know, I'd be happy to burn it for you, but promise me you'll try it first.

ju ˈhævənt təʧt ɪt. ju noʊ, aɪd bi ˈhæpi tɪ bərn ɪt fər ju, bət ˈprɑməs mi jul traɪ ɪt fərst.

Yeah, try his meat, Emily.

jæ, traɪ hɪz mit, ˈɛmɪli.

Mm! It's surprisingly tender.

mm! ɪts səˈpraɪzɪŋli ˈtɛndər.

Tender.

ˈtɛndər.

See. I knew you'd like it if you gave it a chance. Bon appétit, ladies.

si. aɪ nu jʊd laɪk ɪt ɪf ju geɪv ɪt ə ʧæns. bɑn appétit, ˈleɪdiz.

Bon appétit. I'd bone appétit him.

bɑn appétit. aɪd boʊn appétit ɪm.
