Overview

Jed prepares to interview French cineaste and self-appointed expert on the nature of love - Thierry Grimandi. The worldly and somewhat jaded Jed is dead-set on dismissing the auteur's musings as pompous and, well French, until his own relationship with Cheryl starts to fall apart and he is forced to re-evaluate the illusive subject. Soon everyone is talking about love: his relationship counsellor, drinking buddy Marcus and Marcus' girlfriend Sophie Beginnings, endings, tricks...could the French be on to something?

00:10:36 Okay, the beginning. Well, I didn't mistake her for a hooker.

00:13:24 - They're higher up the evolutionary scale. - Oh, I agree. Cheers.

00:40:59 Cheryl, you have done us proud.

00:45:58 Marcus was supposed to come, but something's come up at work.

00:48:22 That's hilarious. That's what you should be writing about in your novel.

00:51:39 Thank you.

00:54:49 Oh, is he? Oh, dear.

00:58:01 - Tell her what? - I'm leaving.

01:02:05 It may not feel like it now, but this is a success story, Cheryl.

01:06:30 There is no such a thing as a motif in a film.

01:11:45 That's exactly what he did.

01:14:02 - What? - I...

01:18:23 - Well, you've always been lazy. - I've always been honest.
