Transcript

Right now we're off for a little outdoor restaurant in the forest of Gombe, in the suburbs of Paris. Hello? Gourin! Corin! Wait a...

Yes, Miss you. Wait a minute, have you seen a beautiful woman? To a Frenchman, all women are beautiful. Except he's white. Well, that's a fine thing to say, Waiter, to a man who's about to get married.

You are planning a romantic rendezvous, but not will you, fiance? Of course not. Oh, dog. You don't seem to get the idea, though. You see... I'm going to be married in June, all the beginning of May.
