Week-end Family (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - The Neighbor's Get Together - full transcript
At the neighbors' get-together, secrets are revealed and Emma meets her new thesis advisor.
Opa! Welcome home. Hey,
hey, hey. Romy, the door!
My hands are already full here
and donuts are heavy, you know.
- Yeah. Good one.
- Thank you.
We help each other.
We're family, okay?
- Wow.
- Oh, the neighbor party.
- It's gonna be fun.
- I get to eat dry cake with baby boomers.
- Love that.
- One day you will be 40 as well,
and I just hope your neighbors
throw parties like ours.
- Really?
- Yeah. Last year we had DJ Snake.
- Whatever.
- No, I swear.
- No way.
- Papa, DJ snake, awesome.
Seriously. He took an
apartment here, right upstairs.
- I am not kidding.
- He's above that.
- Not for himself. For his big coats.
- Excuse me.
May I pass?
- Please. Go ahead.
- Of course.
Yeah. A colleague of mine
talked to me about you.
No way I'm going.
Yes. Well, may I remind
you that you're grounded?
- And by the way, Alexis is coming.
- No. No, you cannot do that, Dad.
- You're grounded.
- You can't do that.
(SINGING) Grounded, grounded,
grounded! Grounded, grounded, grounded!
Grounded...
(GRUNTS)
Thinking that bothers
me? (SCOFFS) Whatever.
And Mr. Veron's newspaper.
WILD GAME GAZETTE
SAINT-ETIENNE, LOIRE
Wild Game Gazette.
Animal killer, murderer.
And DJ Snake? DJ
Snake? Whatever.
FRIDAY
(STRUMMING GUITAR OFF TUNE)
Yes, I am going to send you an email
with my dissertation attached to it.
Hey! What's up?
Well, I can say electronic
mail, if you prefer that.
- Yes. Have a nice weekend.
- So close.
- Hi, Daddy.
- Hey. How are you?
Listen. Guess this song.
Go on.
(STRUMMING GUITAR OFF KEY)
Ta-da.
Are you finished?
- Yeah.
- It's amazing.
It also sounds Indian?
- No, no. It's...
- Hey, Vic.
Hey. Forbidden Games.
Exactly. But the Indian version.
Maybe I can play at
the neighbor party.
Of course you can. I'm sure
everyone will enjoy it.
- (CONTINUES PLAYING GUITAR OFF KEY)
- Heck yeah.
- How are you, honey?
- EMMA: What?
- You doing okay?
- Yeah. Yeah.
You remember Michelle
Christina Brazzino?
The specialist on my
dissertation panel.
Michelle Christina Brazzino.
Yes. Well, she is no longer
available to be on my panel.
So she asked one of her colleagues
to replace her. So annoying.
All right. Can we all
just take a deep breath?
- Yeah.
- Is it that bad?
It's not really that bad, right?
- No, it's awful.
- Think positive.
The guy's probably wonderful.
Ka...
- Kadiake.
- Kadiake.
Yes, I see that.
What?
What do you mean what?
- I don't know. You okay?
- Yeah, no, it's not...
No, because it's funny.
It's the exact same name
as our downstairs neighbor.
Is it the neighbor who always
gives us the stink eye?
- Yeah, but it can't be him.
- No, but do you think it's, you sure?
No. He's president of the condo
council, entirely different. Entirely.
But he doesn't do that
for a living. So...
He told me he was a doctor.
- That's completely different.
- But that's...
It doesn't matter if it's
Catherine Michelle Angeolo...
- Michelle Christina Brazzino.
- Or Kadiake.
- It's trivial. You got to be positive.
- Yes, yes.
Okay? Some of my
basketball player friends.
You have basketball player
friends? Since when?
And they said,
before taking a shot,
they try to picture the ball
going right through the basket.
So you just got to visualize
that things will be fine.
They'll be fine.
I'm picturing it.
- You picture it and... almost in.
- Almost.
All right, now let
me try it. Here.
- It's going to work.
- Wait, I'll picture it with you.
- Sweet! Yeah.
- Did it go in?
- Incredible. So great.
- Oh, yeah. Great.
(GRINDING)
- Whole paper workshop in 5 minutes. Over.
- VIC: Okay. Be right there.
SATURDAY
CLARA: Hey, what are you doing?
My chef specialty.
- Rigatoni. Want to try?
- It looks really tasty.
I would. Thank you.
I'm not saying this
because I made it.
- Come on. Let me try it.
- It's delicious. Come on.
Sun dried tomatoes, onions.
Mmm, mmm.
- Pesto. Mmm.
- Mmm, mmm, mmm.
It's really good but
it's missing something.
Remember, you're cooking for
your special neighbor party.
(CHUCKLES)
- Okay. How about now?
- Yep. Now we're talking.
(SPEAKING ITALIAN)
Victoire, it's a little early
to be playing music already.
Sorry. It's the only
time Alexis could come.
Hi, Clara.
Is that Alexis?
- I don't get it.
- Is that Alexis?
- Is it... Alexis?
- Alexis. Of course.
Pardon me. Hey, Alexis.
He's good. He's teaching
me lots of stuff.
- Listen.
- (STRUMS GUITAR OFF KEY)
That's great. Well, I am going
to, I guess I'm going to,
I'm going to go get ready.
I'll see you at
the neighbor party.
I am not sure what
time I'll be there.
Well, all right.
Let's do that. Bye.
I can't do it.
You're pinching these
two chords like that.
You gotta press here
with these fingers.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Not so loud.
So these guitar lessons
are free, right?
WOMAN: Of course on the
day of the neighbor party,
I have to remove hand
prints. I'm sick of it.
Wait. I'll take a
picture of this.
See who's laughing then. Ready.
- (CAMERA CLICKS)
- Set. There.
I am just so done.
Don't be embarrassed. You
look so cute in your pajamas.
Thanks, but I look
like an eight year-old.
Since we are talking about
Alexis, he's all yours.
Guitarists aren't my type.
Really?
Hello.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Started this garden at
the beginning of the year.
How are you? Hope you're
having a good time.
So, yeah. This is my garden.
Mr. Kadiake, sorry. I know
this is a happy occasion.
However, I do have an issue.
Every weekend I have to scrub the
glass doors clean. Every weekend.
As president of the co-ownership board,
you've got to do something immediately.
Listen, I'm pretty sure someone
is stealing my Wild Game Gazette.
Mmm-hmm.
I haven't received
one in two months now.
Some people in this
condo are insane.
You did right to
mention it to me.
I'm going to report these
and we'll find the culprit.
I'm also facing some issues
with some noisy neighbors.
I sent you an email earlier
to keep you fully informed...
- Do you mean an electronic mail?
- That's another way to say it, yes.
It's odd some electronic
mails get lost.
The other day, a colleague of mine,
a researcher, swore she sent me one.
- But I didn't receive anything.
- (GASPS)
- No problem on Monday but...
- Don't you have time before then?
Monday's good.
- Hey, guys. Hey, Fred.
- Hello.
You're looking super fit.
Fred, may I speak to
you in private please?
- Sorry, guys.
- No problem.
- You guys good? Congratulations.
- They just got married.
- Congratulations, guys.
- Thanks.
It's an emergency.
Kadiake is not a medical
doctor, but he is a doctor.
- It's the same thing.
- No, Doctor of Psychology.
Kadiake, the one who lives downstairs
from us is the Kadiake on the panel.
- Are you sure? That's a crazy coincidence.
- Yes.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Daddy?
- Yes?
Do you think I should play something
by Beyoncé or Rock Classic?
Vic, hold on a second,
okay? Talking to Emma.
He seems a little
off-putting, doesn't he?
- A little?
- Yeah.
He's completely off-putting.
He filed a complaint because
I was laughing too loud.
- No.
- No, I'm kidding.
He left a note in my mailbox, though,
saying, "Yeah, it's great you laugh,
could you laugh a little less?"
There's been no other
notes for about a year.
- Yeah.
- So we're good.
But I need to go introduce
myself. Otherwise it'll be weird.
- Sure, go ahead.
- We've burned two thirds
of all our natural habitats.
Howdy?
Hello.
There's only one left, and it's
delicious, so you should hurry up.
If I were you, I would.
Hi, Mr. Kadiake. You won't believe
this, but I am Emmanuelle LeMay.
We talked on the phone
yesterday about my dissertation.
So you're the PhD student
who needs a jury member.
- Precisely. That's me.
- It's really funny.
I didn't expect to see a
colleague in the building.
My partner knew there was
a doctor here somewhere,
although he thought you
were treating the sick.
Well, in a way, I
treat our souls.
Oh, yes, of course.
Yes, absolutely.
I briefly checked your dissertation
this morning, and it looks promising.
I hope you enjoy the rest
of it as well. (CHUCKLES)
- Don't spoil it.
- No. (CHUCKLES)
By the way, your approach
reminded me of Cecilia Knuth.
She's everything to me.
She completely revolutionized
child psychology.
Yes. Cecilia and I
studied together.
- She's an old friend of mine.
- (GASPS)
- I can introduce you to her.
- No, no!
- Yes.
- Oh, wow!
- Breathe.
- Yes, yes. Of course.
This is a great
idea. Thanks so much.
I'm glad you like it. All
right. Come on, children.
We're going to play
a fun game now.
You put your hand in the paint over here,
and then you'll place it on the wall.
And write your name.
Come on. Come on. Let's go.
That's right. It'll
be lots of fun.
There.
Green and yellow, the colors
of Brazil. I mean, their flag.
Green, yellow and red.
Here's to Bob Marley.
Hey, did you know that
on the Rastafari flag,
it's not yellow, it's gold?
It's representative
of Ethiopia as well.
You're an encyclopedia.
What should I call
you now? Clara-pedia?
I'm glad that you're
still friends with me.
Well, yeah.
I am as well.
I made that pâté myself.
It's a mixture of three types of meat
that I caramelize in a frying pan.
Then I mix them.
I add garlic, parsley and thyme, let
it marinate, in fact, for two weeks.
That's what gives it a gamey
taste to enhance the flavor.
I then add some olive oil. Yum.
It's quite tasty.
Mmm-hmm.
Daddy, I need to
tell you something.
What's going on, sweetheart?
Mr. Kadiake might have left more
than one note at our mailbox.
What? Why on earth did you
hide notes from Kadiake?
(SIGHS)
Well, one Saturday, I saw him leave a
note and I knew that it was bad news.
Since you're always
tired on the weekend,
I hid all the bad news so
we could enjoy ourselves.
That's so sweet. So sweet.
But that strategy doesn't work.
You see, I've tried it
when I get parking tickets.
What do I always tell you?
If Clara is not looking,
we can do as we please.
What? No, no. Not that.
What do I tell you about
having a team spirit?
- You've never said anything, Dad.
- Of course I do.
Whenever we have bad
news, we gather the team,
which for us is our family.
Then we bombard them with
good vibes, all positive.
All the bad turns to good.
Don't worry, it's all
right. It'll be fine.
We're going to get them
back and it'll be fine.
Come on.
Let's see.
Friday, October 12th, 1:30 p.m.
"Nighttime noise."
Nighttime noise at 1:30 p.m.?
Does he start his evening at noon?
"Sunday, the first
of May. Clamoring."
Clamoring? This guy's
from the Middle Ages.
Skateboard. What is
he talking about?
"5:30 p.m. A husky laugh."
Come on. That's not true, is it?
Well, yeah.
(LAUGHS)
That's not... All right.
Listen, none of this matters.
Forget it. Are you stuck again?
Is getting stuck your new hobby?
All right, listen.
Get it out! Get it
out! Get out! Get out!
What if he sees us?
- Vic, stop.
- No, wait, I'm almost there. (SCREAMS)
- Fred, are you okay?
- What's happening?
(GRUNTS)
- Are you okay?
- What's going on?
What are you doing
with the mailboxes?
It wasn't properly
attached to the wall.
I tried to hold
it. I don't know.
Look who it is again.
It's always them. And they also leave
their hand prints every weekend.
- Look, here's the girl.
- Oh, dear.
Isn't this your
little hand here?
She's faking it.
That's not true.
- Unbelievable.
- Romy, if this is your hand,
apologize immediately.
- Sorry.
- So you're the one
stealing my Wild Game Gazette?
- No, it wasn't.
- No, no, no. It's me. I'm responsible.
I threw away your newspapers.
- Clara?
- These are my letters.
Why are they on the floor?
- Can you explain this to me?
- They were already there before.
It could be that some
rodents are chewing your...
- Giant rats.
- This is complete anarchy.
Mr. Kadiake, if you could...
We're trying to keep
this house in order.
- Wild Game Gazette disappearing.
- The Wild Game Gazette is not even yours.
Fred, Fred, Fred, no. We can
actually explain all of this.
No. You are all standing
here accusing us...
(GUITAR STRUMS OFF KEY)
How about a song by Beyoncé?
All right. It's true that
Kadiake is quite upset.
However, we'll find
a solution, right?
- Yeah.
- All right, darling?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, darling?
- That's my ice cream.
- No.
It's everyone's ice cream.
I'm going to bed.
But it's only 5:30, my love.
- Isn't it a tiny bit early for...
- I need some peace and quiet.
Kadiake was impressed, but
now everything's ruined.
To you it doesn't mean anything,
but for me, there's a cost, okay?
He was going to introduce
me to Cecilia Knuth.
Do you even know how difficult it is
to find a position as a researcher?
(SOBBING) No, you wouldn't know.
Because it's not your dream.
Here, Clara. You got a letter.
I took it by mistake
with Kadiake's notes.
ALEXIS: "The sunshine leads
my way, and so does your hair.
To be more clear,
"I can't stop thinking
about you, Clara. Alexis."
- What is it?
- That's my bus card.
A neighbor found it out
there. I had lost it.
- Well, that's good then.
- Best day of my life. Are you kidding?
(SIGHS)
SUNDAY
I am preparing you
some really nice toast.
You okay?
Yeah.
- Do you want some kumquat juice?
- Yeah, that's really good.
No, thanks, no.
Listen, I'm really
sorry about yesterday.
- If you need me...
- No, it's fine, it's fine. Don't worry.
It's all good. Let it go.
I'm gonna go because
I have work to do.
Got to go.
- Got to go.
- Okay.
You think Kadiake
will want revenge?
No.
No.
I hope not.
But it's possible. (SIGHS)
We're talking about a guy
who sent 250 complaints
regarding screechy slippers,
hoodies being unzipped loudly.
Can you believe that this guy
can hear when we open our coats?
Husky laugh.
Ah.
What do you mean "ah"?
I don't think now, is the right
time to talk about that laugh.
No, it's not. You're right.
You have a good point.
But I am hurt because,
because my laugh is perfect.
It's an ideal laugh,
and I can even say,
out of all the laughs I've heard in
my entire life, it's in the top 10.
It's a stylish laugh,
a handsome man laugh.
And often when I'm laughing in the
street, people look at me and say,
if my husband had the same laugh
as you, we would still be together.
My laugh is amazing.
- VIC: Daddy, come here.
- ROMY: Papa.
Yeah, right.
Papa, come see what we found.
(SINGING) Hello, my name
is Clotilde I'm, Parisian
I am 30 years old
I wanted create something
fun not a boring CV
I'm clumsy but
creative (VOCALIZING)
And just what am
I looking at here?
It's her CV.
Full of good humor It's the
only thing I want to do.
It's my dream to
work at SciencesPo.
Wow!
- That's a really cool CV.
- Our idea was to do a CV for Emma.
We could list all of her qualities
and then sing it to Kadiake.
And maybe then, too, we could
apologize for our behavior.
When I look at the three
of you, you're so cute.
You remind me of the Lakers.
Well, they weren't really cute,
but they were always together.
They had positive, good energy.
Magic Johnson, Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar, Vlade Divac.
You know, you're
just like these guys.
I don't get it.
- Sorry.
- Sometimes your generation flips me out.
Seriously. I mean, it's really
it's part of the culture.
Can I sing the song I made up
in the shower this morning?
Sure. Go ahead. Yeah.
(CLEARS THROAT)
(SINGING) E for exceptional!
M for magnificent!
M for amazing!
And A for I adore her!
Woo-hooo!
- CLARA: That's cool.
- That is cool.
But there might be
some spelling issues.
M for amazing?
I couldn't think of
anything for amazing.
All right. But what
would you say with F?
F like cute? Like that?
I guess if I was
inspired, I would...
Wait, no. Being inspired and
spelling are two different things.
- You two. (CHUCKLES)
- Enough of that.
Spelling. Culture.
- You've got issues. You're old. That's it.
- I genuinely feel so much smarter already.
It's your generation.
You're really old.
So what if I'm old?
(IN SHAKY VOICE) It's
my bedtime, girls.
Okay. After "with the kids"...
(SINGING) With the kids.
Yeah. Yeah.
He's coming. Let's go!
Stop it!
Excuse me, Mr. Kadiake.
We wanted to talk to you
about something important.
We wanted to apologize
on behalf of our family.
Yeah, because we misbehave
sometimes. But Emmanuelle is great.
She's really amazing and we want
to tell you something about her.
Go on, Vic.
(PLAYING GUITAR OFF KEY)
(SINGING) Emmanuelle LeMay.
At sixteen years of age.
Got a diploma.
Not only first she was in
class at university, she was...
Emmanuelle LeMay.
Emmanuelle LeMay.
Solves all of our problems.
- She defeats them all.
- With maple syrup!
Figure skating prize
winner Champion of the day.
Emmanuelle LeMay.
The future of psychology.
She's here to stay.
Well, thanks, ladies.
May I take the elevator?
If you could take the
stairs, then that'd be
because of the carbon,
carbon footprint. Never mind.
He loved it because
usually he's all... grr!
We need to make an
album. We'll be famous.
A flower can kill
A wave can die.
It's out of control
I don't know why.
Nothing compares
to mother nature.
She'll survive us in the future.
Some birds can fly
But can't stay adrift.
For too long.
CLARA: I'm taking out the trash.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Somebody's wrong.
Somebody's wrong.
Okay.
Alexis, I got your
letter only yesterday.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, well, your minimalist poem.
Ah. Okay.
Yeah. (CHUCKLES)
It's actually called like
a, it's like a haiku.
- It's Japanese.
- Really? Okay.
Well, I like that.
Letters in 2021.
I'm like Cyrano de Bergerac.
Well, I don't mean to brag,
but you know what I mean.
Luckily you don't have
the same nose as him.
I thought you'd think me childish
after seeing me in my panda pajamas.
In your panda pajamas?
No, come on, they're cute.
I mean, you as a panda...
(LAUGHS) Not just pandas.
It's okay, really. (LAUGHS)
I thought you'd read my letter
and that you didn't care.
No, no, it's just the opposite.
I feel the same
way as you do, so.
- Really?
- Yeah.
(LAUGHS)
Well...
Vic, Clara and
Alexis are kissing.
Romy. Romy, shh.
Love, love, love. Heart, heart.
(EMMA WHISPERS) Quietly.
(SHUSHES)
Easy, easy, easy, easy.
EMMA: Go, go, go.
Oh, Emmanuelle. I
wanted to speak to you.
Wait. Let me go
first, Mr. Kadiake.
On behalf of my family,
I wanted to apologize.
We're very sorry.
I know our family can be
noisy, crazy and invasive.
- Yes, uh...
- But mostly we're alive.
And in our work, we meet
seemingly perfect families.
But once you dig a bit, you
see it's more complicated.
And well, we might do things
that are a bit bizarre but...
But we do learn
from our mistakes.
Your step-daughters have already
apologized, and they went all the way.
They created a beautiful propaganda
show and were very convincing.
The Lakers spirit.
EMMA: What?
So are you really an
ice skating champion?
- Yeah. She is.
- A champion? No.
Yeah. Show him how you...
That skating thing.
- Yeah, Emma. Come on. Do it for us.
- She's amazing.
Do it.
Some people here really believe in
you, and they're absolutely right.
However, when it comes to the
condominium, it might be good to respect.
That's in the past.
- Now we are all about respect.
- One last thing.
Your live CV was impressive
specifically with the guitar.
It was a nice jazz fusion.
She chose it. She just
adores be-bop. (SCATTING)
Fred, Fred, Fred.
Thanks, take care. We'll
talk about my dissertation.
(BOTH SINGING) Emma,
Emma, she's so very nice.
Not like Cecilia Knuth
(ALL LAUGHING)
All right, ladies.
Listen, listen, listen.
Did you hear Kadiake?
Okay. If we want to
make noise, go outdoors.
Vic, don't play
guitar before 10 a.m.
Clara, no phone at night, because
when you talk to your friends,
you're constantly
giggling. (IMITATES TURKEY)
- What? Stop that.
- Sounds exactly like a turkey.
- Hey, you think this is funny, do you?
- Romy.
You are the noise problem.
You are the epitome of noise.
But what's making noise? I
have nothing making noise.
- Your mouth. Just your mouth.
- You.
You don't need an
instrument or the phone.
You make noise.
So maybe you should
live outside, actually.
- Well, Fred.
- I don't make noise.
Then I think we also
need to address this.
- No way.
- No, no.
We have to keep that.
It belongs right there.
- So are we keeping it?
- FRED: Mmm-hmm.
But on one condition. Try not to
be so cheerful in the morning.
Wait, what? Are you serious?
- Yes, look.
- What?
Yeah, you can make less
noise, just a little bit.
Someone had to tell
him eventually.
- Excuse me?
- What?
- What's wrong with me?
- You woke me up singing gospel.
Gospel is wonderful.
- And it's too much.
- It's the music of love,
of joy. Of beauty and purity.
You're saying I'm
like the sun to you?
EMMA: Yes, you're my
sun and I love you.
- Exactly.
- EMMA: I love you.
- Then let yourself bask in my sun.
- EMMA: Yes, but after 8 a.m. Got it?
FRED: You can't ask the sun to rise
at a specific time. It's the sun.
hey, hey. Romy, the door!
My hands are already full here
and donuts are heavy, you know.
- Yeah. Good one.
- Thank you.
We help each other.
We're family, okay?
- Wow.
- Oh, the neighbor party.
- It's gonna be fun.
- I get to eat dry cake with baby boomers.
- Love that.
- One day you will be 40 as well,
and I just hope your neighbors
throw parties like ours.
- Really?
- Yeah. Last year we had DJ Snake.
- Whatever.
- No, I swear.
- No way.
- Papa, DJ snake, awesome.
Seriously. He took an
apartment here, right upstairs.
- I am not kidding.
- He's above that.
- Not for himself. For his big coats.
- Excuse me.
May I pass?
- Please. Go ahead.
- Of course.
Yeah. A colleague of mine
talked to me about you.
No way I'm going.
Yes. Well, may I remind
you that you're grounded?
- And by the way, Alexis is coming.
- No. No, you cannot do that, Dad.
- You're grounded.
- You can't do that.
(SINGING) Grounded, grounded,
grounded! Grounded, grounded, grounded!
Grounded...
(GRUNTS)
Thinking that bothers
me? (SCOFFS) Whatever.
And Mr. Veron's newspaper.
WILD GAME GAZETTE
SAINT-ETIENNE, LOIRE
Wild Game Gazette.
Animal killer, murderer.
And DJ Snake? DJ
Snake? Whatever.
FRIDAY
(STRUMMING GUITAR OFF TUNE)
Yes, I am going to send you an email
with my dissertation attached to it.
Hey! What's up?
Well, I can say electronic
mail, if you prefer that.
- Yes. Have a nice weekend.
- So close.
- Hi, Daddy.
- Hey. How are you?
Listen. Guess this song.
Go on.
(STRUMMING GUITAR OFF KEY)
Ta-da.
Are you finished?
- Yeah.
- It's amazing.
It also sounds Indian?
- No, no. It's...
- Hey, Vic.
Hey. Forbidden Games.
Exactly. But the Indian version.
Maybe I can play at
the neighbor party.
Of course you can. I'm sure
everyone will enjoy it.
- (CONTINUES PLAYING GUITAR OFF KEY)
- Heck yeah.
- How are you, honey?
- EMMA: What?
- You doing okay?
- Yeah. Yeah.
You remember Michelle
Christina Brazzino?
The specialist on my
dissertation panel.
Michelle Christina Brazzino.
Yes. Well, she is no longer
available to be on my panel.
So she asked one of her colleagues
to replace her. So annoying.
All right. Can we all
just take a deep breath?
- Yeah.
- Is it that bad?
It's not really that bad, right?
- No, it's awful.
- Think positive.
The guy's probably wonderful.
Ka...
- Kadiake.
- Kadiake.
Yes, I see that.
What?
What do you mean what?
- I don't know. You okay?
- Yeah, no, it's not...
No, because it's funny.
It's the exact same name
as our downstairs neighbor.
Is it the neighbor who always
gives us the stink eye?
- Yeah, but it can't be him.
- No, but do you think it's, you sure?
No. He's president of the condo
council, entirely different. Entirely.
But he doesn't do that
for a living. So...
He told me he was a doctor.
- That's completely different.
- But that's...
It doesn't matter if it's
Catherine Michelle Angeolo...
- Michelle Christina Brazzino.
- Or Kadiake.
- It's trivial. You got to be positive.
- Yes, yes.
Okay? Some of my
basketball player friends.
You have basketball player
friends? Since when?
And they said,
before taking a shot,
they try to picture the ball
going right through the basket.
So you just got to visualize
that things will be fine.
They'll be fine.
I'm picturing it.
- You picture it and... almost in.
- Almost.
All right, now let
me try it. Here.
- It's going to work.
- Wait, I'll picture it with you.
- Sweet! Yeah.
- Did it go in?
- Incredible. So great.
- Oh, yeah. Great.
(GRINDING)
- Whole paper workshop in 5 minutes. Over.
- VIC: Okay. Be right there.
SATURDAY
CLARA: Hey, what are you doing?
My chef specialty.
- Rigatoni. Want to try?
- It looks really tasty.
I would. Thank you.
I'm not saying this
because I made it.
- Come on. Let me try it.
- It's delicious. Come on.
Sun dried tomatoes, onions.
Mmm, mmm.
- Pesto. Mmm.
- Mmm, mmm, mmm.
It's really good but
it's missing something.
Remember, you're cooking for
your special neighbor party.
(CHUCKLES)
- Okay. How about now?
- Yep. Now we're talking.
(SPEAKING ITALIAN)
Victoire, it's a little early
to be playing music already.
Sorry. It's the only
time Alexis could come.
Hi, Clara.
Is that Alexis?
- I don't get it.
- Is that Alexis?
- Is it... Alexis?
- Alexis. Of course.
Pardon me. Hey, Alexis.
He's good. He's teaching
me lots of stuff.
- Listen.
- (STRUMS GUITAR OFF KEY)
That's great. Well, I am going
to, I guess I'm going to,
I'm going to go get ready.
I'll see you at
the neighbor party.
I am not sure what
time I'll be there.
Well, all right.
Let's do that. Bye.
I can't do it.
You're pinching these
two chords like that.
You gotta press here
with these fingers.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Not so loud.
So these guitar lessons
are free, right?
WOMAN: Of course on the
day of the neighbor party,
I have to remove hand
prints. I'm sick of it.
Wait. I'll take a
picture of this.
See who's laughing then. Ready.
- (CAMERA CLICKS)
- Set. There.
I am just so done.
Don't be embarrassed. You
look so cute in your pajamas.
Thanks, but I look
like an eight year-old.
Since we are talking about
Alexis, he's all yours.
Guitarists aren't my type.
Really?
Hello.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Started this garden at
the beginning of the year.
How are you? Hope you're
having a good time.
So, yeah. This is my garden.
Mr. Kadiake, sorry. I know
this is a happy occasion.
However, I do have an issue.
Every weekend I have to scrub the
glass doors clean. Every weekend.
As president of the co-ownership board,
you've got to do something immediately.
Listen, I'm pretty sure someone
is stealing my Wild Game Gazette.
Mmm-hmm.
I haven't received
one in two months now.
Some people in this
condo are insane.
You did right to
mention it to me.
I'm going to report these
and we'll find the culprit.
I'm also facing some issues
with some noisy neighbors.
I sent you an email earlier
to keep you fully informed...
- Do you mean an electronic mail?
- That's another way to say it, yes.
It's odd some electronic
mails get lost.
The other day, a colleague of mine,
a researcher, swore she sent me one.
- But I didn't receive anything.
- (GASPS)
- No problem on Monday but...
- Don't you have time before then?
Monday's good.
- Hey, guys. Hey, Fred.
- Hello.
You're looking super fit.
Fred, may I speak to
you in private please?
- Sorry, guys.
- No problem.
- You guys good? Congratulations.
- They just got married.
- Congratulations, guys.
- Thanks.
It's an emergency.
Kadiake is not a medical
doctor, but he is a doctor.
- It's the same thing.
- No, Doctor of Psychology.
Kadiake, the one who lives downstairs
from us is the Kadiake on the panel.
- Are you sure? That's a crazy coincidence.
- Yes.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Daddy?
- Yes?
Do you think I should play something
by Beyoncé or Rock Classic?
Vic, hold on a second,
okay? Talking to Emma.
He seems a little
off-putting, doesn't he?
- A little?
- Yeah.
He's completely off-putting.
He filed a complaint because
I was laughing too loud.
- No.
- No, I'm kidding.
He left a note in my mailbox, though,
saying, "Yeah, it's great you laugh,
could you laugh a little less?"
There's been no other
notes for about a year.
- Yeah.
- So we're good.
But I need to go introduce
myself. Otherwise it'll be weird.
- Sure, go ahead.
- We've burned two thirds
of all our natural habitats.
Howdy?
Hello.
There's only one left, and it's
delicious, so you should hurry up.
If I were you, I would.
Hi, Mr. Kadiake. You won't believe
this, but I am Emmanuelle LeMay.
We talked on the phone
yesterday about my dissertation.
So you're the PhD student
who needs a jury member.
- Precisely. That's me.
- It's really funny.
I didn't expect to see a
colleague in the building.
My partner knew there was
a doctor here somewhere,
although he thought you
were treating the sick.
Well, in a way, I
treat our souls.
Oh, yes, of course.
Yes, absolutely.
I briefly checked your dissertation
this morning, and it looks promising.
I hope you enjoy the rest
of it as well. (CHUCKLES)
- Don't spoil it.
- No. (CHUCKLES)
By the way, your approach
reminded me of Cecilia Knuth.
She's everything to me.
She completely revolutionized
child psychology.
Yes. Cecilia and I
studied together.
- She's an old friend of mine.
- (GASPS)
- I can introduce you to her.
- No, no!
- Yes.
- Oh, wow!
- Breathe.
- Yes, yes. Of course.
This is a great
idea. Thanks so much.
I'm glad you like it. All
right. Come on, children.
We're going to play
a fun game now.
You put your hand in the paint over here,
and then you'll place it on the wall.
And write your name.
Come on. Come on. Let's go.
That's right. It'll
be lots of fun.
There.
Green and yellow, the colors
of Brazil. I mean, their flag.
Green, yellow and red.
Here's to Bob Marley.
Hey, did you know that
on the Rastafari flag,
it's not yellow, it's gold?
It's representative
of Ethiopia as well.
You're an encyclopedia.
What should I call
you now? Clara-pedia?
I'm glad that you're
still friends with me.
Well, yeah.
I am as well.
I made that pâté myself.
It's a mixture of three types of meat
that I caramelize in a frying pan.
Then I mix them.
I add garlic, parsley and thyme, let
it marinate, in fact, for two weeks.
That's what gives it a gamey
taste to enhance the flavor.
I then add some olive oil. Yum.
It's quite tasty.
Mmm-hmm.
Daddy, I need to
tell you something.
What's going on, sweetheart?
Mr. Kadiake might have left more
than one note at our mailbox.
What? Why on earth did you
hide notes from Kadiake?
(SIGHS)
Well, one Saturday, I saw him leave a
note and I knew that it was bad news.
Since you're always
tired on the weekend,
I hid all the bad news so
we could enjoy ourselves.
That's so sweet. So sweet.
But that strategy doesn't work.
You see, I've tried it
when I get parking tickets.
What do I always tell you?
If Clara is not looking,
we can do as we please.
What? No, no. Not that.
What do I tell you about
having a team spirit?
- You've never said anything, Dad.
- Of course I do.
Whenever we have bad
news, we gather the team,
which for us is our family.
Then we bombard them with
good vibes, all positive.
All the bad turns to good.
Don't worry, it's all
right. It'll be fine.
We're going to get them
back and it'll be fine.
Come on.
Let's see.
Friday, October 12th, 1:30 p.m.
"Nighttime noise."
Nighttime noise at 1:30 p.m.?
Does he start his evening at noon?
"Sunday, the first
of May. Clamoring."
Clamoring? This guy's
from the Middle Ages.
Skateboard. What is
he talking about?
"5:30 p.m. A husky laugh."
Come on. That's not true, is it?
Well, yeah.
(LAUGHS)
That's not... All right.
Listen, none of this matters.
Forget it. Are you stuck again?
Is getting stuck your new hobby?
All right, listen.
Get it out! Get it
out! Get out! Get out!
What if he sees us?
- Vic, stop.
- No, wait, I'm almost there. (SCREAMS)
- Fred, are you okay?
- What's happening?
(GRUNTS)
- Are you okay?
- What's going on?
What are you doing
with the mailboxes?
It wasn't properly
attached to the wall.
I tried to hold
it. I don't know.
Look who it is again.
It's always them. And they also leave
their hand prints every weekend.
- Look, here's the girl.
- Oh, dear.
Isn't this your
little hand here?
She's faking it.
That's not true.
- Unbelievable.
- Romy, if this is your hand,
apologize immediately.
- Sorry.
- So you're the one
stealing my Wild Game Gazette?
- No, it wasn't.
- No, no, no. It's me. I'm responsible.
I threw away your newspapers.
- Clara?
- These are my letters.
Why are they on the floor?
- Can you explain this to me?
- They were already there before.
It could be that some
rodents are chewing your...
- Giant rats.
- This is complete anarchy.
Mr. Kadiake, if you could...
We're trying to keep
this house in order.
- Wild Game Gazette disappearing.
- The Wild Game Gazette is not even yours.
Fred, Fred, Fred, no. We can
actually explain all of this.
No. You are all standing
here accusing us...
(GUITAR STRUMS OFF KEY)
How about a song by Beyoncé?
All right. It's true that
Kadiake is quite upset.
However, we'll find
a solution, right?
- Yeah.
- All right, darling?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, darling?
- That's my ice cream.
- No.
It's everyone's ice cream.
I'm going to bed.
But it's only 5:30, my love.
- Isn't it a tiny bit early for...
- I need some peace and quiet.
Kadiake was impressed, but
now everything's ruined.
To you it doesn't mean anything,
but for me, there's a cost, okay?
He was going to introduce
me to Cecilia Knuth.
Do you even know how difficult it is
to find a position as a researcher?
(SOBBING) No, you wouldn't know.
Because it's not your dream.
Here, Clara. You got a letter.
I took it by mistake
with Kadiake's notes.
ALEXIS: "The sunshine leads
my way, and so does your hair.
To be more clear,
"I can't stop thinking
about you, Clara. Alexis."
- What is it?
- That's my bus card.
A neighbor found it out
there. I had lost it.
- Well, that's good then.
- Best day of my life. Are you kidding?
(SIGHS)
SUNDAY
I am preparing you
some really nice toast.
You okay?
Yeah.
- Do you want some kumquat juice?
- Yeah, that's really good.
No, thanks, no.
Listen, I'm really
sorry about yesterday.
- If you need me...
- No, it's fine, it's fine. Don't worry.
It's all good. Let it go.
I'm gonna go because
I have work to do.
Got to go.
- Got to go.
- Okay.
You think Kadiake
will want revenge?
No.
No.
I hope not.
But it's possible. (SIGHS)
We're talking about a guy
who sent 250 complaints
regarding screechy slippers,
hoodies being unzipped loudly.
Can you believe that this guy
can hear when we open our coats?
Husky laugh.
Ah.
What do you mean "ah"?
I don't think now, is the right
time to talk about that laugh.
No, it's not. You're right.
You have a good point.
But I am hurt because,
because my laugh is perfect.
It's an ideal laugh,
and I can even say,
out of all the laughs I've heard in
my entire life, it's in the top 10.
It's a stylish laugh,
a handsome man laugh.
And often when I'm laughing in the
street, people look at me and say,
if my husband had the same laugh
as you, we would still be together.
My laugh is amazing.
- VIC: Daddy, come here.
- ROMY: Papa.
Yeah, right.
Papa, come see what we found.
(SINGING) Hello, my name
is Clotilde I'm, Parisian
I am 30 years old
I wanted create something
fun not a boring CV
I'm clumsy but
creative (VOCALIZING)
And just what am
I looking at here?
It's her CV.
Full of good humor It's the
only thing I want to do.
It's my dream to
work at SciencesPo.
Wow!
- That's a really cool CV.
- Our idea was to do a CV for Emma.
We could list all of her qualities
and then sing it to Kadiake.
And maybe then, too, we could
apologize for our behavior.
When I look at the three
of you, you're so cute.
You remind me of the Lakers.
Well, they weren't really cute,
but they were always together.
They had positive, good energy.
Magic Johnson, Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar, Vlade Divac.
You know, you're
just like these guys.
I don't get it.
- Sorry.
- Sometimes your generation flips me out.
Seriously. I mean, it's really
it's part of the culture.
Can I sing the song I made up
in the shower this morning?
Sure. Go ahead. Yeah.
(CLEARS THROAT)
(SINGING) E for exceptional!
M for magnificent!
M for amazing!
And A for I adore her!
Woo-hooo!
- CLARA: That's cool.
- That is cool.
But there might be
some spelling issues.
M for amazing?
I couldn't think of
anything for amazing.
All right. But what
would you say with F?
F like cute? Like that?
I guess if I was
inspired, I would...
Wait, no. Being inspired and
spelling are two different things.
- You two. (CHUCKLES)
- Enough of that.
Spelling. Culture.
- You've got issues. You're old. That's it.
- I genuinely feel so much smarter already.
It's your generation.
You're really old.
So what if I'm old?
(IN SHAKY VOICE) It's
my bedtime, girls.
Okay. After "with the kids"...
(SINGING) With the kids.
Yeah. Yeah.
He's coming. Let's go!
Stop it!
Excuse me, Mr. Kadiake.
We wanted to talk to you
about something important.
We wanted to apologize
on behalf of our family.
Yeah, because we misbehave
sometimes. But Emmanuelle is great.
She's really amazing and we want
to tell you something about her.
Go on, Vic.
(PLAYING GUITAR OFF KEY)
(SINGING) Emmanuelle LeMay.
At sixteen years of age.
Got a diploma.
Not only first she was in
class at university, she was...
Emmanuelle LeMay.
Emmanuelle LeMay.
Solves all of our problems.
- She defeats them all.
- With maple syrup!
Figure skating prize
winner Champion of the day.
Emmanuelle LeMay.
The future of psychology.
She's here to stay.
Well, thanks, ladies.
May I take the elevator?
If you could take the
stairs, then that'd be
because of the carbon,
carbon footprint. Never mind.
He loved it because
usually he's all... grr!
We need to make an
album. We'll be famous.
A flower can kill
A wave can die.
It's out of control
I don't know why.
Nothing compares
to mother nature.
She'll survive us in the future.
Some birds can fly
But can't stay adrift.
For too long.
CLARA: I'm taking out the trash.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Somebody's wrong.
Somebody's wrong.
Okay.
Alexis, I got your
letter only yesterday.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, well, your minimalist poem.
Ah. Okay.
Yeah. (CHUCKLES)
It's actually called like
a, it's like a haiku.
- It's Japanese.
- Really? Okay.
Well, I like that.
Letters in 2021.
I'm like Cyrano de Bergerac.
Well, I don't mean to brag,
but you know what I mean.
Luckily you don't have
the same nose as him.
I thought you'd think me childish
after seeing me in my panda pajamas.
In your panda pajamas?
No, come on, they're cute.
I mean, you as a panda...
(LAUGHS) Not just pandas.
It's okay, really. (LAUGHS)
I thought you'd read my letter
and that you didn't care.
No, no, it's just the opposite.
I feel the same
way as you do, so.
- Really?
- Yeah.
(LAUGHS)
Well...
Vic, Clara and
Alexis are kissing.
Romy. Romy, shh.
Love, love, love. Heart, heart.
(EMMA WHISPERS) Quietly.
(SHUSHES)
Easy, easy, easy, easy.
EMMA: Go, go, go.
Oh, Emmanuelle. I
wanted to speak to you.
Wait. Let me go
first, Mr. Kadiake.
On behalf of my family,
I wanted to apologize.
We're very sorry.
I know our family can be
noisy, crazy and invasive.
- Yes, uh...
- But mostly we're alive.
And in our work, we meet
seemingly perfect families.
But once you dig a bit, you
see it's more complicated.
And well, we might do things
that are a bit bizarre but...
But we do learn
from our mistakes.
Your step-daughters have already
apologized, and they went all the way.
They created a beautiful propaganda
show and were very convincing.
The Lakers spirit.
EMMA: What?
So are you really an
ice skating champion?
- Yeah. She is.
- A champion? No.
Yeah. Show him how you...
That skating thing.
- Yeah, Emma. Come on. Do it for us.
- She's amazing.
Do it.
Some people here really believe in
you, and they're absolutely right.
However, when it comes to the
condominium, it might be good to respect.
That's in the past.
- Now we are all about respect.
- One last thing.
Your live CV was impressive
specifically with the guitar.
It was a nice jazz fusion.
She chose it. She just
adores be-bop. (SCATTING)
Fred, Fred, Fred.
Thanks, take care. We'll
talk about my dissertation.
(BOTH SINGING) Emma,
Emma, she's so very nice.
Not like Cecilia Knuth
(ALL LAUGHING)
All right, ladies.
Listen, listen, listen.
Did you hear Kadiake?
Okay. If we want to
make noise, go outdoors.
Vic, don't play
guitar before 10 a.m.
Clara, no phone at night, because
when you talk to your friends,
you're constantly
giggling. (IMITATES TURKEY)
- What? Stop that.
- Sounds exactly like a turkey.
- Hey, you think this is funny, do you?
- Romy.
You are the noise problem.
You are the epitome of noise.
But what's making noise? I
have nothing making noise.
- Your mouth. Just your mouth.
- You.
You don't need an
instrument or the phone.
You make noise.
So maybe you should
live outside, actually.
- Well, Fred.
- I don't make noise.
Then I think we also
need to address this.
- No way.
- No, no.
We have to keep that.
It belongs right there.
- So are we keeping it?
- FRED: Mmm-hmm.
But on one condition. Try not to
be so cheerful in the morning.
Wait, what? Are you serious?
- Yes, look.
- What?
Yeah, you can make less
noise, just a little bit.
Someone had to tell
him eventually.
- Excuse me?
- What?
- What's wrong with me?
- You woke me up singing gospel.
Gospel is wonderful.
- And it's too much.
- It's the music of love,
of joy. Of beauty and purity.
You're saying I'm
like the sun to you?
EMMA: Yes, you're my
sun and I love you.
- Exactly.
- EMMA: I love you.
- Then let yourself bask in my sun.
- EMMA: Yes, but after 8 a.m. Got it?
FRED: You can't ask the sun to rise
at a specific time. It's the sun.
