Grazie for welcoming us to your incredible city.

We are molto emozionato to be continuing our relationship with Bavazza.

And what better way to celebrate our two cultures coming together than with a

crisp, invigorating Bavazza tea.

We agree.

It was so popular at our event in Paris. We can wait for everyone in Roma to try

them.

It's 10 a .m.

So? It's coffee.

Rich Italian espresso.

And vodka.

Yeah. Great.

Smooth, sophisticated French vodka.

They're coming together... molto well.

Ah, molto.

Now, it's where was I?

The launch party.

Oh, yes.

Everything's confirmed for our Bavazzatini launch party at La Posta

week. Look at those views.

I mean...

Oh, and for entertainment, we booked Mindy Chen, who's just arrived.

Ma che figata!

Everyone in Roma loves her song, Ruins. They love her even more singing in a

martini glass.

She's going to have her heart racing just like a bavazzatini.

How does Mindy feel about nipple tassels?

Let's sidebar that for the rehearsal tomorrow.

Okay.

Thank you for coming. Thank you for booking me a job.

Okay, this.

Molto Italiano.

The hair, the scar.

A Marcello says it will protect me from Coppa D 'aria, which is a hit of wind, I

think. I don't know. Italians take it very seriously.

You let him dress you?

Mostly undress.

You're never coming back to Paris, are you?

It's going to burn.

Yeah, it's always good to hear.

Listen, it takes a little more time than planned, but I can't leave until the

Rome office is not autonomous.

And how long will it take?

I don't know.

Laurent, listen, I'm not asking you this question when you're in Saint -Tropez,

so I don't see how long we've been trying to do what we're interested in.

Sorry to interrupt, but we have our lunch with Maratori.

Oh, how's that going?

Well, Antonia agreed to do the fragrance, so Antoine clearly won her

Marcello thinks she has a crush on him.

Antoine will flirt his way into any woman's checkbook.

But if she's happy, we're happy.

Bye, Andiamo.

So you license the use of the moratorium name to Antoine, and he'll do the rest.

The formula, the packaging.

And we'll handle the marketing.

Which we will approve.

Naturally. Any questions?

Just one.

Are you wearing the fragrance again?

I am.

Still like it.

So the next step is marketing the fragrance. We'd like to hire a director

shoot a commercial.

Let's call it a short film.

that captures the essence of Muratori.

Well, many major brands collaborate with world -class directors.

Canzo used Spike Jonze, Chanel had Baz Luhrmann, and Dior had Sofia Coppola.

That sounds expensive.

Well, not necessarily.

I'm close to one of Italy's best directors,

Giancarlo Petri.

And I'm sure I can convince him to keep his fee more down -to -earth.

Oh, and we'll premiere the film on Muratori's Instagram account.

Ah, then we'll work. Sorry.

Mama's not a fan of social media. We don't even have an account.

Well, you do now.

You've always... Oh, you know, but Emily found so many lovely photos of your

father with the goats.

It would be a shame not to share them.

You're good.

Yeah, don't say I didn't warn you.

Uh, old man.

To truly understand our brand and who we are, you should visit our town.

Come spend the weekend with me in Solitano.

Well, that's a wonderful idea.

I'd love to.

And I'll get my CFO to join us.

It meant even better during the day.

Next time you're booking client travel, please organize an airport transfer.

Mindy had to take a taxi, which was an ordeal for me.

Of course. Sorry, I didn't know Mindy was a client.

She's not. She's here to perform at the Babadla event.

It's just hard keeping track of who's a client and who's dating a client like

Mindy and Alfie.

How long have they been together?

They're not.

Well, they sure looked cozy outside of Gabriel's restaurant.

Alfie is Emily's ex.

Another one?

Genevieve, I think you should focus on work and stop spreading rumors.

Arrivederci. I know people at Ferrari, Ferrero, Ferragamo, all the apps.

Fantastic.

Jane, you must be looking for Sylvie. Actually, I was just telling Luke about

all the brands I can connect you with in Rome.

Do either of you like speedboats? Do I look like I would?

I love boats. I live on one.

That feels right.

Oh, Jane can get us a speedboat. For a fee?

So, where's my office?

You're working here now?

Yes. Jane is consulting for us.

Senior executive of brand relationships.

And as promised, I have landed you a meeting with the head of marketing at

Fendi. That's incredible.

For a fee. We're meeting with Fendi? That's huge.

Who said anything about you?

Wait, you can't meet with Fendi's head of marketing without the head of your

office. You're the head of the office.

That's still under consideration.

Grazie, tesoro.

You shouldn't get hung up on titles.

Thank you for the advice, Princess.

You asked me to run this office. What changed?

That's when we only had one account.

Now I'm trying to build something more substantial here.

And senior executive a brand relationship?

That's under consideration.

Find a way to work with Jane.

If the office is going to succeed, we need people with connections, not just

followers.

After an aperitivo, next was antipasti. Si, then primi, the pasta course. I

overdid on the cacio e pepe. I barely had room for secondi. Second?

No, that's main course. Oh.

Everything was so delicious.

I'm as stuffed as those zucchini flowers.

That's why we take a passeggiata, a stroll to walk up dinner.

Oh, or even better, we dance it all.

Oh, oh.

Look at you, drinking and dancing on a work night.

Rome Emily is the best.

Oh, hi now.

Oh, looks like Marcella found a friend.

Oh,

say hi.

Oh, okay.

Oh, Emily, this is Lucia, Lucia, Emily.

Ciao, ciao.

Marcello! Oh, I'll be right back.

So, you're American.

Marcello's never dated one before.

Oh, well, here's a first time for everything, I guess.

He's so sweet.

Just don't get too...

I don't know how you say it in English.

Attached?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's how we say it.

You okay?

You seem like Paris Emily again.

I do, don't I?

Meeting his ex just brought up old feelings.

About Gabrielle and how Camille was always hovering around like a ghost

in limbo?

Yeah, I know. It's dumb.

No. No, it's not.

That was a really tough time for you. But people can be friends with their

and it's not complicated.

Like you and Alfie. You two are just friends, right?

Like... There are no feelings there anymore, right?

No. Yeah, no, there's not. You're right. Good point. Yeah.

So, I have a meeting with one of my favorite brands today.

No.

Fendi? Oh, if Grandma could see me now.

Oh, no.

Is Granna Ghost, too?

What? No, she lives in Lake Bluff.

I still can't believe that she gave this to me. She loved it so much.

You've never let me see it in daylight.

Donny. No natural oils until the beeswax leather conditioner dries.

Okay.

I'm surprised you brought it to Rome.

What, I'm leaving it with you in Paris?

Who knows what you'd get up to while I was away.

Oh, don't forget we have your rehearsal for Bavazza later.

Cool, cool. I'll meet you there.

And, Em, about Marcello, don't open the X -Files.

The truth is not out there.

Wow, I am such a Fendi fan.

They're celebrating their 100th anniversary this year, so we could help

them into a new era. Fendi doesn't need our help. This meeting is about making a

good impression.

What the Italians call fare bella figura.

Wait, you don't think I'm making a good impression?

I have a few notes.

Fare bella figura isn't just about what you wear.

It's how you hold yourself, conduct yourself.

I think Emilia has a very bella figura.

Thank you, Luke.

Molto bello.

Just let me do the talking, huh?

To commemorate our centennial, we will be holding events in major cities across

the world, starting in Rome and ending in Paris. And at each stop, we will be

releasing a new baguette bag inspired by the city.

A runway road show.

Exactamente. Well...

Since Agence Crateau has a foothold in Rome and Paris, we're well suited to

share expertise in both cities.

Good to know.

Not to put you on the spot, but since you're Parisians, I'm open to hearing

ideas for the new Paris baguette design.

Nothing to do with the Eiffel Tower of the Paraguay.

Why not a baguette designed to look like an actual French baguette?

A playful note with original inspiration.

It could even smell like a baguette.

Very amusing.

Maybe not couture enough for our anniversary.

Excuse me.

What is that?

Oh, I thought you'd like it. It's an original 1997 release from my

May I? Of course.

Sorry, my dear, but this is a fake.

No, it's not.

I think she knows a fake when she sees one.

You see these uneven spaces between the stitches?

The clasp? Very poor quality. The logo isn't as sharp either.

Very easy to trick the untrained eye.

That's why it's so important to pay close attention to details. Please give

time to workshop more ideas and... What about a fake, Fendi?

Scusi?

Why not create a baguette that celebrates, no, embraces its

errors? A real fake Fendi. So is it real or fake?

Exactly. That's the question that will be on everyone's lips.

It's fake, but it's real.

Get it?

I get it. Very clever.

Not suitable for Paris.

Too American -ata.

Maybe it would work in Los Angeles.

Si.

Better for Los Angeles.

Well, that went well.

No, it didn't. She said si.

I mean, sure, it wasn't an idea for Paris. When Italians say yes, they don't

always mean it. They value politeness, they don't want to offend, so they say

yes even if they don't agree.

Ah, like how the French always start everything with a no.

No, we don't.

Well, at least answering no gives you the option of later saying yes. If you

start with yes, then you suck.

Not in Italy.

They just take it back later.

Do you think Fendi will ever give us another chance?

That's a no.

Oh, my God.

You offended Fendi.

I thought I had something special, but it wasn't real. All that beeswax leather

conditioner for nothing?

Grazie for doing this, Mindy. Of course.

Your chariot away.

Oh, why is the martini so dirty?

It's a grande bavazzatini.

Oh, yeah, I'm not sure I want to splash around in muddy water.

You don't want to swim in the espresso martini.

Um, how are you two not seeing what we're seeing?

Oh, I see what's wrong with it.

Yeah, I know.

We forgot the coffee beans.

So much better.

Ground water with loaders.

Now it's an unflushed toilet.

Luke, was this your first idea?

No, number two.

Okay, I got you.

Yeah, I think we can do better.

It's lovely.

Is this considered an aperitivo?

No.

This is dolce and caffè rolled into one.

Delicious and dangerous.

Oh, my kind of drink.

Scusatemi.

Marcello Muratori, I'd like you to meet Giancarlo Petri, who's attached to

direct our Muratori fragrance film.

That's wonderful news. I'm such a fan.

Lauto della Fuga is one of my favorite films.

Oh, thank you. You're too kind. I look forward to seeing how you capture my

family's brand.

Babazzatini? Oh, no, no. After what happened today, I need a real drink.

I'll find you a glass of wine. I'll join you.

I'm sorry again about Fendi.

Okay, what is done is done.

But you need to learn that you don't always have to have the answer.

Admitting you don't know something is stronger and more honest.

I will take note of that.

Who in the world would buy real fake Bendy? It's super meta and self

-referential. Okay? And that's exactly where fashion is headed.

Emily, it's important to know what's real. Huh?

Hey. Hi.

It's showtime.

Emily, thanks for saving Mindy's dance number.

No problem.

Jane's connections really came through.

It's a great party.

Just one more.

Now he's thinking about me every night, oh.

If that's sweet, I can go.

Baby, please, baby, I know. Let me let you go.

Moving up, down, up, right, up. Pushing up like Nintendo.

Baby, you can't please.

Baby, I know.

Let me let you go.

I can't breathe.

Do you dance for me?

What are you doing here? Well, I wasn't going to miss that.

Wait, did you follow me to Rome?

Yeah, I did.

I just can't stop thinking about you.

No, you idiot.

I'm here for work.

Oh.

Oh, my God. Hi, you're here.

Hi.

Antoine wanted me to negotiate a moratorium deal. Oh, yeah. Nice.

Yeah. Great.

I think.

Mindy Chan, right?

Yes. I knew I recognized you. I must have watched your ruined song on TikTok

thousand times.

How long are you in Rome?

I'm leaving tomorrow.

No, you can't. I need you on Ballando, Ballando, Ballando.

Dance,

dance, dance. It's the biggest celebrity dance -off on Italian television.

Oh, my God.

See, I'd love to.

Fantastic. Here's my card.

Grazie mille. Call me tomorrow, okay?

Yes.

Aw, look at us.

All here in Rome together.

Yay.

Oh, I need to put more clothes on. Okay, bye -bye. Bye.

Ciao. Bye -bye.

Ciao. Don't you ciao me. Something is going on between you two.

Who?

People are talking.

About me and Alfie?

Gross, look at him.

His shirt is way too tight.

I'm not into muscles.

Yes, you are. Who isn't?

Nothing's going on, Julian.

Drop it.

Hi.

Emily?

This is Celia.

Hi, nice to meet you. You too.

Oh, three.

Three is for close family and friend.

Well, any friend of Marcello is a friend of mine.

Isn't he the greatest?

He is.

How do you two know each other?

Our parents are friends.

Well, they tried very hard to push us down the aisle, and they almost

Yeah.

Celia's family owns this hotel.

Oh, what a coincidence.

Not really.

Luke asked me for venue recommendations, and I told him you can't beat La Posta

Vecchia. It's so beautiful.

Yeah,

I should get back to work.

Excuse me.

So...

Was anyone else in the running to direct a Muratori film? Oh, it was very

competitive, but somehow I knew you could handle it. I'm sure I can.

Let's get a room here tonight.

I'm sure I can arrange that.

Sylvie!

Isn't that your husband?

Laurent, what are you doing here?

Surprise!

I had imagined spending the night with you, but apparently the place is already

taken.

Giancarlo. I know who you are.

In her

defense, Sylvia has been upfront about

your marriage from day one. No, I don't need defending.

And stay out of other people's relationships.

Get your own. She chose to stay here for a reason. Oui, for work.

See? You're just a fling like all the others.

That's what she does.

Whenever people get too close, she leaves.

I should know.

Followed her to Paris, now to Rome.

But maybe, Sylvie, I should stop chasing you.

Now, can we fuck off and let me talk privately with my wife?

I'm not going anywhere.

She's with me. We're married.

Barely. Just leave. You leave. Okay, I'll leave.

Sylvie!

Sylvie!

Do you even know how to drive a boat? She does.

oh that's rough

I've known that family a long time. He's a player.

He's always speeding around in his Vespa with another leggy beauty.

Then I look at you, and I wonder, what is it about you?

Is your family rich?

What? No.

Well, my husband thought he married me for my money, and I thought I married

for his.

We were both fooled.

Girls like us can't be too careful.

Emily, wait.

Are you leaving?

No, I didn't think you'd notice. You seemed pretty busy flirting with Celia.

Flirting?

What are you talking about?

I've been down this road before.

Okay, I don't want to be in a relationship where I'm constantly

shoulder worried about your ex. It doesn't feel good.

Shelly and I are friends.

That's all.

She's engaged.

Oh, come on. Your hands were all over each other. That's how Italians talk.

We are very physical. It doesn't mean anything.

Well, I don't know what anything means in this country. I don't, I don't. Are

really together?

Or are you just a player and I'm your next ex?

Where is this coming from?

I thought my grandmother's bag was real, okay? I thought that I was running the

Rome office. I thought that, yes, meant yes.

I thought that... I just, like... I thought that I'd found someone special.

And now I'm not so sure.

Okay, you have these impossibly beautiful women in your life.

And I'm just worried that you're a fake Fendi.

That what we have isn't real.

Can I pick you up at your apartment tomorrow morning?

There is someone I'd like to take you.

Sure.

You look beautiful this morning.

I find that hard to believe because I didn't sleep at all.

Me neither.

I was thinking about what you said, and I want you to know that all those women

are in my past.

Ancient history.

Yeah, well, that's the problem with Rome.

Ancient history is everywhere.

True, but you and me, this is the future.

Look, I don't know what happened with your ex, but I'm not that guy.

I've never lied to you, and I never will.

There she is.

Thank you for saying that.

I think I just got in my head and projected my ancient history onto you.

Now you're going to tell me where we're going?

You know how I feel about surprises.

It's a good one, I promise.

Cindy, really?

Trust me.

Pick any bag you want.

Oh, that's so generous, but you don't have to.

I've recovered from my whole fake Fendi fiasco.

This isn't about a bag.

I want you to know you have the real thing.

Because from the moment I met you, I knew I did.
