Montreal Talk-Show Host:
[leaving his guest stranded to fend for himself as he comes down to interview girlfriend]
Hello?
[in French, causing a deer-in-the-headlights startled look from her]

Montreal Talk-Show Host:
What? Pussycat got your tongue?
Tina Menzhal:
[uncomfortably]
I'm sorry, I don't speak French.
Montreal Talk-Show Host:
[in her language now:]
Nobody's perfect. But I think you are very close.
[audience loves this]

Montreal Talk-Show Host:
I saw you coming in with this guy. Is he your boyfriend?
Tina Menzhal:
I can't talk.
Montreal Talk-Show Host:
[in French, to audience:]
She can't talk. The plot thickens, let's unravel this mystery.
[leads panicking girl to the stage, clowning along the way]

Montreal Talk-Show Host:
Why don't you have a seat? Merci.
[to his abandoned guest, in French:]

Montreal Talk-Show Host:
Okay, Philippe, that monologue must have exhausted you. Go sit in my chair, it's much more comfortable.
[in effect, shooing him out of the way, with the pretty girl all to himself]

Montreal Talk-Show Host:
Go. Thanks.
[to her:]

Montreal Talk-Show Host:
So, are you ashamed of this man? Is there a dark secret you wish to share with us?
Tina Menzhal:
Well, I'm not supposed to be seen with him.
Montreal Talk-Show Host:
Why? Because he is too old for you?
Philippe Gascon:
[in French:]
Thanks a lot!
Montreal Talk-Show Host:
[in French:]
Don't mention it!
Tina Menzhal:
Well, it's like, if other photographers knew I was with him, they wouldn't hire me.
Montreal Talk-Show Host:
We won't tell.
Tina Menzhal:
Yeah, right. Now the whole world knows.
[gesturing at Philippe]

Tina Menzhal:
Look at him. He's laughing. I'm toast. They're gonna send me back to Cornwall, thank you very much.
Philippe Gascon:
Come on, you're going to Paris.
Montreal Talk-Show Host:
Paris? Paris, France? My God. But, you don't speak French.
Tina Menzhal:
I know a few words.
Montreal Talk-Show Host:
Say one.
Tina Menzhal:
[delightfully naïve]
I can't. They're all dirty words, I think.
Montreal Talk-Show Host:
[in French, to Philippe:]
You taught her smut?
Philippe Gascon:
[in French, laughing:]
You gotta start somewhere.
Montreal Talk-Show Host:
[in French:]
You pervert.
Tina Menzhal:
I know this one... Vicieuse. He likes it when I am vicieuse, or...
[tries in French:]

Tina Menzhal:
And also, 'slut.'
Montreal Talk-Show Host:
[in French, theatrical, to audience, who is lapping it up:]
Is it me, or is it really getting hot in here? I'm gonna pass out. I need some water. Be right with you.
[drinks from glass, she looks at him, butter won't melt in her mouth, audience loves this]

Montreal Talk-Show Host:
Do you know some other words?
[audience laughter grows]

Montreal Talk-Show Host:
Please speak French to me!
