1
00:00:16,391 --> 00:00:18,351
And...

2
00:00:18,435 --> 00:00:20,228
c'est fini!

3
00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:29,112
There.

4
00:00:30,321 --> 00:00:33,283
This is a fairly rich dessert.

5
00:00:33,366 --> 00:00:35,994
A light supper,
perhaps a roast chicken,

6
00:00:36,077 --> 00:00:38,329
would make a perfect
accompaniment.

7
00:00:38,413 --> 00:00:40,415
And here I have
a chilled Sauternes,

8
00:00:40,498 --> 00:00:42,500
one of the noble
wines of France,

9
00:00:42,584 --> 00:00:47,505
to drink with our glamorous
mousse à la framboise.

10
00:00:47,589 --> 00:00:50,592
And that's all for today
on "The French Chef."

11
00:00:50,675 --> 00:00:52,260
I'm Julia Child.

12
00:00:52,343 --> 00:00:53,928
Bon appétit!

13
00:00:54,012 --> 00:00:55,638
And cut!

14
00:00:55,722 --> 00:00:55,889
Yes, she's all yours.
Yes, she's all yours.

15
00:00:55,889 --> 00:00:57,932
Yes, she's all yours.
Yes, she's all yours.

16
00:00:58,016 --> 00:00:59,309
Yes.

17
00:00:59,392 --> 00:01:01,936
Oh, you've got the spoons
out already.

18
00:01:06,357 --> 00:01:07,859
Mmm.

19
00:01:07,942 --> 00:01:09,319
God almighty.

20
00:01:09,402 --> 00:01:10,695
It's like --

21
00:01:10,779 --> 00:01:13,782
It's like biting into
a raspberry chocolate cloud.

22
00:01:13,865 --> 00:01:15,241
Julia!

23
00:01:15,325 --> 00:01:16,618
Uh, Russ!

24
00:01:16,701 --> 00:01:17,744
Assemble.

25
00:01:17,827 --> 00:01:19,329
To what do we owe
the pleasure?

26
00:01:19,412 --> 00:01:20,914
What's wrong?
Hmm?

27
00:01:20,997 --> 00:01:23,583
Uh, listen,
things are afoot.

28
00:01:23,666 --> 00:01:26,711
KQED has invited Julia
to do promotion

29
00:01:26,795 --> 00:01:29,172
for "The French Chef" --
eh, radio,

30
00:01:29,255 --> 00:01:32,717
interviews, a TV spot --
in San Francisco.

31
00:01:32,801 --> 00:01:34,135
Oh!

32
00:01:34,219 --> 00:01:35,595
How fabulous!

33
00:01:35,678 --> 00:01:36,971
No.
No, not fabulous.

34
00:01:37,055 --> 00:01:38,556
We have French onion soup
next week.

35
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:39,933
We have six days to prep.

36
00:01:40,016 --> 00:01:41,976
There's no time --
Onion soup, shmonion soup.

37
00:01:42,060 --> 00:01:43,812
Just reduce it.

38
00:01:43,895 --> 00:01:44,854
That was a soup joke.

39
00:01:44,938 --> 00:01:47,732
Oh, yes.
Eh, it's three days.

40
00:01:47,816 --> 00:01:50,318
Hotel stay, airfare
on their dime.

41
00:01:50,401 --> 00:01:51,778
-Impossible.
-That's what I thought,

42
00:01:51,861 --> 00:01:53,947
but I've got the prepaid
tickets to prove it.

43
00:01:54,030 --> 00:01:56,074
No, I-I mean,
she can't leave right now.

44
00:01:56,157 --> 00:01:59,160
Russell, we are a public
television station.

45
00:01:59,244 --> 00:02:01,371
We do not say no to free.

46
00:02:01,454 --> 00:02:03,623
Then there's Tripp Wilson,
head of programming.

47
00:02:03,706 --> 00:02:04,958
He hates small talk,

48
00:02:05,041 --> 00:02:06,543
hangs up the phone
without saying goodbye.

49
00:02:06,626 --> 00:02:07,669
You'll like him.

50
00:02:08,002 --> 00:02:10,296
He's the line producer,
and Tom handled the negotiation.

51
00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:12,549
He's very sharp.
Oh, also, the head of the network --

52
00:02:12,632 --> 00:02:14,717
Al. Take a breath.

53
00:02:14,801 --> 00:02:17,720
Can you write all this down for me?
Sure.

54
00:02:17,804 --> 00:02:21,391
A haiku,
not an epic poem.

55
00:02:21,474 --> 00:02:23,977
No way, not with
Mickey Mantle in the lineup.

56
00:02:24,060 --> 00:02:25,145
He's injured. Again.

57
00:02:25,145 --> 00:02:26,896
Hope springs eternal.

58
00:02:28,731 --> 00:02:29,983
Good show today.

59
00:02:30,066 --> 00:02:32,235
It's been so much smoother
having you back.

60
00:02:32,318 --> 00:02:35,363
I hope we can keep it that way
while Julia is gone.

61
00:02:35,446 --> 00:02:37,198
I've broken up the time
Julia will be away

62
00:02:37,282 --> 00:02:39,909
into half-hour and hour-long
segments for us to work through.

63
00:02:39,993 --> 00:02:41,953
The red boxes are hours,
blues are 30 minutes --

64
00:02:42,036 --> 00:02:44,706
Oh, uh, honey, honey, you
remember from the pilot episode

65
00:02:44,789 --> 00:02:46,374
the way Julia likes
to work.

66
00:02:46,457 --> 00:02:49,419
We'll just, you know,
have to feel it out first.

67
00:02:49,502 --> 00:02:51,337
Just a touch
of spontaneity.

68
00:02:51,421 --> 00:02:52,922
I am all for spontaneity,

69
00:02:53,006 --> 00:02:54,716
but can't we schedule
a time for it?

70
00:02:56,217 --> 00:02:57,385
Certainly.

71
00:02:57,468 --> 00:02:59,012
Oh, uh, darling?

72
00:02:59,095 --> 00:03:00,221
Darling.

73
00:03:00,305 --> 00:03:01,806
Blue or...

74
00:03:01,890 --> 00:03:04,976
I'm sorry, Judith,
Paul is trying to blind me.

75
00:03:05,059 --> 00:03:06,477
Can you say that again?

76
00:03:06,561 --> 00:03:08,396
I've scheduled
a book signing for you

77
00:03:08,479 --> 00:03:09,981
on Saturday
for "Mastering."

78
00:03:10,064 --> 00:03:11,482
A book signing?

79
00:03:11,566 --> 00:03:14,402
Well, I do love the way
your scrappy mind works, Judith,

80
00:03:14,485 --> 00:03:17,447
but we purposefully
left Saturday open.

81
00:03:17,530 --> 00:03:20,158
Ooh. No.
Um, tell her it's fine.

82
00:03:20,241 --> 00:03:22,785
We have all day.
We can spare an hour or so.

83
00:03:22,869 --> 00:03:25,914
The book needs you.

84
00:03:25,997 --> 00:03:30,210
On second thought,
count the Childs in.

85
00:03:30,293 --> 00:03:32,045
Paul. Raincoat.

86
00:03:32,128 --> 00:03:33,922
Good. I'll see you there.

87
00:03:34,005 --> 00:03:35,256
Bye-bye, dear.

88
00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:36,424
Bye.
Bye.

89
00:03:36,507 --> 00:03:38,259
Alright.

90
00:03:40,345 --> 00:03:41,930
Uh -- ooh.

91
00:03:42,013 --> 00:03:43,765
That shirt.
Mm-hmm.

92
00:03:43,848 --> 00:03:46,017
You wore it in Marseille
with the buttons undone.

93
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:47,644
Mm.

94
00:03:47,727 --> 00:03:49,562
After the signing,

95
00:03:49,646 --> 00:03:53,066
I'll take you to this
wonderful gallery in Sausalito.

96
00:03:53,149 --> 00:03:56,444
And from there, we can stroll
to this little bistro

97
00:03:56,527 --> 00:03:59,614
with the most magnificent
artichoke risotto.

98
00:03:59,697 --> 00:04:01,115
Is it artichoke season?

99
00:04:01,199 --> 00:04:02,784
Mm-hmm.
Ooh.

100
00:04:02,867 --> 00:04:04,410
Californian artichokes.

101
00:04:04,494 --> 00:04:06,663
Mm-hmm.
Dripping in butter.

102
00:04:06,746 --> 00:04:09,791
You know, artichokes are
an aphrodisiac.

103
00:04:09,874 --> 00:04:12,460
In ancient Rome, women were
forbidden from eating them,

104
00:04:12,543 --> 00:04:15,129
lest they be tempted
to lift their togas.

105
00:04:15,213 --> 00:04:17,465
Oh, Paul.

106
00:04:17,548 --> 00:04:19,717
Oopsy-daisy.

107
00:04:27,725 --> 00:04:29,936
All these plaid dresses
for summer.

108
00:04:30,019 --> 00:04:32,313
Who wants to look
like a checker board?

109
00:04:32,397 --> 00:04:35,400
Not me.
I am not a game.

110
00:04:38,486 --> 00:04:40,947
How's the San Francisco
trip going?

111
00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:43,408
They're probably
just landing, Mom.

112
00:04:43,491 --> 00:04:46,035
I doubt I'll hear
from them at all.

113
00:04:46,119 --> 00:04:47,495
Unless something goes wrong,

114
00:04:47,578 --> 00:04:49,831
in which case,
it will be my fault.

115
00:04:49,914 --> 00:04:52,166
Don't take your frustration
out on these pleats.

116
00:04:52,250 --> 00:04:53,835
This is your
most flattering dress.

117
00:04:53,918 --> 00:04:55,461
San Francisco was my idea.

118
00:04:55,545 --> 00:04:58,423
I did the work, and they act
like it just happened.

119
00:04:58,506 --> 00:05:00,341
I didn't even get
a thank-you from Russ.

120
00:05:00,425 --> 00:05:03,594
Who's Russ again?
My boss.

121
00:05:03,678 --> 00:05:05,847
Maybe if I were a man
or white,

122
00:05:05,930 --> 00:05:07,432
or better yet,
a white man --

123
00:05:07,515 --> 00:05:09,350
Oh, stop that.

124
00:05:09,434 --> 00:05:12,020
Honey, do you think
it wasn't difficult for me,

125
00:05:12,103 --> 00:05:13,688
or for your father
in med school?

126
00:05:13,771 --> 00:05:15,356
Did you think it was going
to be different for you?

127
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:16,649
No, I know that
it is difficult.

128
00:05:16,733 --> 00:05:18,109
That is what
I'm talking about.

129
00:05:18,192 --> 00:05:20,028
Even when you agree with me,
you disagree with me.

130
00:05:20,111 --> 00:05:21,571
Your grandma always said,

131
00:05:21,654 --> 00:05:23,573
"I don't want to hear about
how hard it is.

132
00:05:23,656 --> 00:05:26,826
I want to hear what you're
going to do about it."

133
00:05:26,909 --> 00:05:28,786
You know you can't afford
to have a negative attitude.

134
00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:30,246
I don't know why
I ask you anything.

135
00:05:30,330 --> 00:05:31,914
I always know what
you're going to say.

136
00:05:31,998 --> 00:05:33,207
Oh, really?
What's that?

137
00:05:33,291 --> 00:05:36,461
Well, you can't afford
a negative attitude,

138
00:05:36,544 --> 00:05:38,338
a hard head
makes a soft behind...

139
00:05:38,421 --> 00:05:39,547
Mm.

140
00:05:39,630 --> 00:05:41,549
Mm, you just need
to find a good man.

141
00:05:41,632 --> 00:05:45,720
Oh, I knew I had something
I wanted to tell you.

142
00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:48,973
His name's Isaac.

143
00:06:07,992 --> 00:06:09,577
Are we early?

144
00:06:09,660 --> 00:06:11,287
Don't take it personally,
my love.

145
00:06:11,371 --> 00:06:13,956
Californians
don't read.

146
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,125
-Hello.
-Hello.

147
00:06:16,209 --> 00:06:18,753
I apologize for taking up
your Saturday, Les.

148
00:06:18,836 --> 00:06:20,004
Are you kidding?

149
00:06:20,088 --> 00:06:22,548
I'm just trying to avoid
a fire hazard.

150
00:06:37,397 --> 00:06:40,149
Are they all here
for my signing?

151
00:06:40,233 --> 00:06:43,111
I don't think they're here
for the new Hannah Arendt.

152
00:06:46,239 --> 00:06:47,323
Thank you.

153
00:06:47,407 --> 00:06:48,658
Bye-bye.

154
00:06:48,741 --> 00:06:50,618
We absolutely adore
your show.

155
00:06:50,701 --> 00:06:53,371
Oh, thank you, dear.

156
00:06:53,454 --> 00:06:55,289
What recipes
have you tried?

157
00:06:55,373 --> 00:06:56,749
Oh, we don't cook.

158
00:06:58,418 --> 00:06:59,585
Ohh, thank you.

159
00:06:59,669 --> 00:07:00,878
I made this for you.

160
00:07:09,262 --> 00:07:11,139
-Thank you.
-Thank you.

161
00:07:18,312 --> 00:07:20,064
Thank you.

162
00:07:20,148 --> 00:07:21,315
Jul?
Hmm?

163
00:07:21,399 --> 00:07:23,192
If you don't mind,
I'm going to sneak out

164
00:07:23,276 --> 00:07:24,986
to the gallery
before it closes.

165
00:07:25,069 --> 00:07:27,780
Oh, Paul,
I didn't realize

166
00:07:27,864 --> 00:07:30,199
it was going to turn
into this display.

167
00:07:30,283 --> 00:07:31,659
It's marvelous, kitten.

168
00:07:31,742 --> 00:07:34,328
I'm just itching to explore.
I'll see you at the hotel.

169
00:07:34,328 --> 00:07:35,163
All this, for that?

170
00:07:35,246 --> 00:07:36,747
You didn't
expect it, either?

171
00:07:36,831 --> 00:07:38,040
You kidding?

172
00:07:38,124 --> 00:07:39,750
KQED has no means
of measuring our ratings.

173
00:07:39,834 --> 00:07:41,586
There's been positive
feedback, though.

174
00:07:41,669 --> 00:07:43,045
Nearly 24 letters.

175
00:07:43,129 --> 00:07:45,047
So, when do I get
to meet the boss?

176
00:07:45,131 --> 00:07:46,549
Oh, he's not coming.

177
00:07:46,632 --> 00:07:48,134
Alice Naman?

178
00:07:48,217 --> 00:07:49,760
Alice? Right.

179
00:07:49,844 --> 00:07:51,637
Eh, she's back in Boston.

180
00:07:51,721 --> 00:07:53,264
She works for me.

181
00:07:53,347 --> 00:07:55,224
Helluva salesman.
Relentless.

182
00:07:55,308 --> 00:07:56,976
Thought I was
her special guy,

183
00:07:57,059 --> 00:07:59,562
then I get a call
from Chuck Loudermilk in Philly, WHYY,

184
00:07:59,645 --> 00:08:01,564
the other day asking about
"The French Chef."

185
00:08:01,647 --> 00:08:03,274
Oh, yeah?
What'd you tell him?

186
00:08:03,357 --> 00:08:04,400
Nothing yet.

187
00:08:04,484 --> 00:08:06,235
Waiting to see
how this goes.

188
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:07,361
Right.

189
00:08:11,449 --> 00:08:13,326
Sign my spatula?

190
00:08:13,409 --> 00:08:15,536
Ohhhhh! Ha-ha!

191
00:08:15,620 --> 00:08:17,371
James!

192
00:08:18,122 --> 00:08:19,665
It is an honor.

193
00:08:19,749 --> 00:08:22,084
You know I have a soft spot
for tall cooks

194
00:08:22,168 --> 00:08:23,794
with hearty appetites.

195
00:08:23,878 --> 00:08:25,046
Oh.

196
00:08:25,129 --> 00:08:28,090
James Beard, have you
met Judith Jones?

197
00:08:28,174 --> 00:08:32,303
Not officially, no,
but I am a fan.

198
00:08:32,386 --> 00:08:34,597
Thank you.
Likewise.

199
00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:38,976
Well, I'm absolutely gobsmacked
by this turnout.

200
00:08:39,060 --> 00:08:43,439
San Francisco is a town
of sensualists like us,

201
00:08:43,523 --> 00:08:45,608
unlike dreary Boston.

202
00:08:45,691 --> 00:08:48,110
Beans and cod
and the like.

203
00:08:48,194 --> 00:08:49,946
Ugh!
Ugh!

204
00:08:50,029 --> 00:08:51,739
And I'll prove it.

205
00:08:51,822 --> 00:08:53,533
I'm taking you both out
to dinner tonight,

206
00:08:53,616 --> 00:08:55,326
to my favorite restaurant
in the Bay.

207
00:08:55,409 --> 00:08:58,913
The food is spectacular,
the room is charming...

208
00:08:58,996 --> 00:09:01,290
Oh!
...and the waiters are delicious.

209
00:09:01,374 --> 00:09:03,960
Oh!
Well, I'm sold.

210
00:09:05,378 --> 00:09:07,755
Oh, Paul, my husband,
is in town with me.

211
00:09:07,838 --> 00:09:09,590
Oh, the more
the merrier.

212
00:09:20,893 --> 00:09:22,979
The artist straps himself
into a harness

213
00:09:23,062 --> 00:09:26,357
and paints upside down.

214
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:27,942
Remarkable.

215
00:09:28,025 --> 00:09:29,652
Can I help you
with anything?

216
00:09:29,735 --> 00:09:32,071
I'm only here to look
and -- and learn.

217
00:09:32,154 --> 00:09:36,158
I'm -- I'm an artist myself,
from Boston.

218
00:09:36,242 --> 00:09:38,911
I paint standing up.

219
00:09:38,995 --> 00:09:41,330
And, uh, what brings you
to San Francisco?

220
00:09:41,414 --> 00:09:44,125
Are you showing in town?

221
00:09:44,208 --> 00:09:47,253
Uh, I'm here with my wife,
actually.

222
00:09:47,336 --> 00:09:50,172
She's promoting
her television program,

223
00:09:50,256 --> 00:09:51,841
"The French Chef."

224
00:09:51,924 --> 00:09:53,301
Have you seen it?

225
00:09:55,928 --> 00:09:57,930
Julia's weapon of choice.

226
00:10:00,516 --> 00:10:01,642
Oh!

227
00:10:01,726 --> 00:10:03,394
Oh, that is nice.

228
00:10:03,477 --> 00:10:05,688
Avis, you really know your way
around this kitchen.

229
00:10:05,771 --> 00:10:07,148
Well, I should.

230
00:10:07,231 --> 00:10:09,692
I found this house
for Julia and Paul.

231
00:10:09,775 --> 00:10:11,652
You know, it's funny.

232
00:10:11,736 --> 00:10:14,238
I actually met Julia
because of knives.

233
00:10:14,322 --> 00:10:15,698
Street fight?

234
00:10:15,781 --> 00:10:17,199
No.

235
00:10:17,283 --> 00:10:20,244
Actually, she wrote a letter
to my husband about knives.

236
00:10:20,328 --> 00:10:22,455
Bernard wrote a column
for Harper's

237
00:10:22,538 --> 00:10:25,333
about the evils
of stainless steel knives.

238
00:10:25,416 --> 00:10:28,002
Julia felt the same and
wrote to him in solidarity.

239
00:10:28,085 --> 00:10:30,630
I was in charge
of Bernard's correspondence,

240
00:10:30,713 --> 00:10:31,839
so I read the letter.

241
00:10:31,922 --> 00:10:33,883
I loved it so much,
I wrote back to her.

242
00:10:33,966 --> 00:10:36,802
And then we became
pen pals.

243
00:10:36,886 --> 00:10:38,304
For a decade.

244
00:10:38,387 --> 00:10:39,680
Ah.

245
00:10:41,641 --> 00:10:43,768
Then when Bernard passed

246
00:10:43,851 --> 00:10:47,980
and my children started to live
their grown-up lives,

247
00:10:48,064 --> 00:10:51,192
I saw myself
turning into that woman.

248
00:10:51,275 --> 00:10:54,820
Hiding behind the curtains
and watching the neighbors,

249
00:10:54,904 --> 00:10:57,281
waiting for "Perry Mason"
to come on,

250
00:10:57,365 --> 00:11:01,160
telling the grandchildren about
the time she was the May Queen.

251
00:11:01,243 --> 00:11:03,079
Oh, you were
the May Queen?

252
00:11:06,290 --> 00:11:11,295
And then Julia moved here,
and life became exciting again.

253
00:11:13,422 --> 00:11:14,757
Ah!

254
00:11:16,425 --> 00:11:19,303
It's the onions.
I swear.

255
00:11:19,387 --> 00:11:20,763
I never cry.

256
00:11:20,846 --> 00:11:22,598
Oh!

257
00:11:22,682 --> 00:11:24,100
Well...

258
00:11:24,183 --> 00:11:27,186
Now we have enough oignon.
Now we have enough oignon.

259
00:11:27,269 --> 00:11:29,605
It's time for the butter.

260
00:11:29,689 --> 00:11:33,109
Let's go easy --
say, eight sticks.

261
00:11:34,610 --> 00:11:40,741
The tiniest splash
of vermouth, for flavor.

262
00:11:44,995 --> 00:11:48,290
Wait till you try the bread.
It is a poem.

263
00:11:49,709 --> 00:11:51,836
I just need to make a quick
phone call, so excuse me.

264
00:11:51,919 --> 00:11:53,713
Just one sec.
Oh!

265
00:11:56,716 --> 00:11:58,467
Oh,
Paul didn't answer.

266
00:11:58,551 --> 00:12:01,095
I so wanted him
to come to dinner.

267
00:12:01,178 --> 00:12:02,763
He'd adore
the ambiance.

268
00:12:02,847 --> 00:12:04,014
Well, you tried.

269
00:12:04,098 --> 00:12:07,059
You just checking in
with your husband?

270
00:12:07,143 --> 00:12:09,145
No, the old
ball and chain.

271
00:12:10,855 --> 00:12:12,648
Hello?
It's Judith.

272
00:12:12,732 --> 00:12:14,275
I'm sorry
for calling so late.

273
00:12:14,358 --> 00:12:16,944
You know I don't sleep.
I've been trying to reach you.

274
00:12:17,027 --> 00:12:18,279
I haven't been back
to the hotel.

275
00:12:18,362 --> 00:12:19,947
It's been a wild day.

276
00:12:20,030 --> 00:12:22,742
Did you wake up at noon,
talk about your feelings,

277
00:12:22,825 --> 00:12:24,702
and have a lunch
of fiddly sprouts?

278
00:12:24,785 --> 00:12:27,037
Not exactly.
I have news.

279
00:12:27,121 --> 00:12:29,248
As do I.
You first.

280
00:12:29,331 --> 00:12:32,752
Julia Child's book signing
was packed.

281
00:12:32,835 --> 00:12:34,086
Overcapacity.

282
00:12:34,170 --> 00:12:36,672
We ran out of copies
of "Mastering."

283
00:12:36,756 --> 00:12:39,216
It was like a Beatles concert
or something.

284
00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:40,593
Sounds noisy.

285
00:12:40,676 --> 00:12:42,386
I, however, can do you
one better.

286
00:12:42,470 --> 00:12:44,680
Your boy Updike
has been short-listed

287
00:12:44,764 --> 00:12:47,475
for the National Book Award.

288
00:12:47,558 --> 00:12:48,809
Holy damn!

289
00:12:48,893 --> 00:12:50,895
damning right,
holy damn.

290
00:12:50,978 --> 00:12:52,438
Well!

291
00:12:52,521 --> 00:12:57,985
Well, this is very,
very, very exciting.

292
00:12:58,068 --> 00:13:00,613
Um, congratulations.

293
00:13:00,696 --> 00:13:03,783
Congratulations to you,
my dear.

294
00:13:03,866 --> 00:13:04,992
You did that.

295
00:13:05,075 --> 00:13:06,327
Goodnight.

296
00:13:13,584 --> 00:13:17,213
A bottle of the '55
Saint-Emilion

297
00:13:17,296 --> 00:13:18,714
and two martinis.

298
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,343
Sorry.

299
00:13:22,426 --> 00:13:25,137
I'm worried
I smell like onions.

300
00:13:25,221 --> 00:13:27,223
I'm worried that I will always
smell like onions.

301
00:13:28,474 --> 00:13:30,142
Eau de French Chef.
Mm.

302
00:13:30,226 --> 00:13:31,727
You'll love it here.

303
00:13:31,811 --> 00:13:33,479
Julia and I come here
all the time.

304
00:13:33,562 --> 00:13:36,357
And Paul third-wheels.
And Paul third-wheels.

305
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,903
So, this can't just be my own
personal "This Is Your Life."

306
00:13:40,986 --> 00:13:43,197
Um, why television?

307
00:13:44,907 --> 00:13:47,576
Do you remember the first
episode of "The Twilight Zone"?

308
00:13:47,660 --> 00:13:50,287
I don't remember any episode
of "The Twilight Zone."

309
00:13:50,371 --> 00:13:51,413
Oh!

310
00:13:51,497 --> 00:13:53,040
"There is a fifth dimension

311
00:13:53,123 --> 00:13:55,292
beyond that
which is known to man.

312
00:13:55,376 --> 00:13:58,838
The middle ground between
science and superstition.

313
00:13:58,921 --> 00:14:01,924
It lies between the pit
of man's fears

314
00:14:02,007 --> 00:14:04,510
and the summit
of his knowledge.

315
00:14:04,593 --> 00:14:07,513
The dimension
of imagination."

316
00:14:07,596 --> 00:14:09,056
Ooh!

317
00:14:09,139 --> 00:14:11,892
I knew from the first episode,
television was my future.

318
00:14:11,976 --> 00:14:14,186
Mm.
Endless possibilities.

319
00:14:14,270 --> 00:14:15,688
It's not so easy,
though.

320
00:14:15,771 --> 00:14:18,566
You don't know watching at home
just how hard it is

321
00:14:18,649 --> 00:14:21,235
to make one little
half-hour program.

322
00:14:21,318 --> 00:14:23,195
The tears.

323
00:14:23,279 --> 00:14:25,614
I don't know
what you're talking about.

324
00:14:27,825 --> 00:14:30,619
The mussels are fantastic.

325
00:14:30,703 --> 00:14:32,246
And the steak frites.

326
00:14:32,329 --> 00:14:36,375
Gougères -- delicious
French cheese puffs

327
00:14:36,458 --> 00:14:39,587
that explode in your mouth
like firecrackers.

328
00:14:39,670 --> 00:14:41,547
They're rough
on my stomach.

329
00:14:41,630 --> 00:14:42,756
You've had them?

330
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,758
In Paris, actually.

331
00:14:44,842 --> 00:14:46,135
Huh.

332
00:14:47,761 --> 00:14:50,014
I studied some French
at Oberlin.

333
00:14:50,097 --> 00:14:53,017
My parents took me to Paris
when I graduated.

334
00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:57,605
And here am I, mispronouncing
cheese puffs to you.

335
00:14:57,688 --> 00:15:00,441
Ah. Merci.

336
00:15:00,524 --> 00:15:03,569
After you,
mademoiselle.

337
00:15:03,652 --> 00:15:06,071
La salade paysanne,
s'il vous plait.

338
00:15:06,155 --> 00:15:07,740
I'll have the same.

339
00:15:07,823 --> 00:15:09,199
And French fries.

340
00:15:09,283 --> 00:15:10,618
Oui, madame.

341
00:15:13,495 --> 00:15:17,207
I wonder how they're doing
in San Francisco.

342
00:15:17,291 --> 00:15:19,877
Clever of Russ to sell the show
across the country,

343
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,712
don't you think?

344
00:15:24,673 --> 00:15:28,260
Mind you, there's no place
on earth I'd rather be

345
00:15:28,344 --> 00:15:32,264
than right here with
wunderkind Alice Naman.

346
00:15:32,348 --> 00:15:35,017
Thank you
for joining me.

347
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:37,019
I hate eating alone.

348
00:15:38,938 --> 00:15:40,689
Me too.

349
00:15:46,111 --> 00:15:50,950
If music be the food of love,
play on.

350
00:15:51,033 --> 00:15:53,202
Give me excess of it.
Give me excess of it.

351
00:15:53,285 --> 00:15:56,372
Well, these shrimp
are the food of love.

352
00:15:56,455 --> 00:15:58,874
Flay on!
Flay on!

353
00:16:00,501 --> 00:16:03,754
Oh, James, you must go
onstage again.

354
00:16:03,837 --> 00:16:05,839
We chefs are
natural performers.

355
00:16:05,923 --> 00:16:07,633
No, do you think so?
Mm!

356
00:16:09,051 --> 00:16:11,428
Well, I was a theater
major in college.

357
00:16:11,512 --> 00:16:12,930
As was I.
Mm!

358
00:16:13,013 --> 00:16:15,099
No one thought I was
particularly good, I'm afraid,

359
00:16:15,182 --> 00:16:17,059
but I did break
the world record

360
00:16:17,142 --> 00:16:21,021
as Torvald's
tallest little bird.

361
00:16:21,105 --> 00:16:22,606
You played Nora?
Mm!

362
00:16:22,690 --> 00:16:23,899
You like Ibsen?

363
00:16:23,983 --> 00:16:27,444
I loved throwing myself
into characters,

364
00:16:27,528 --> 00:16:29,530
becoming someone else.

365
00:16:29,613 --> 00:16:33,075
Mind you, I always had
an affinity for ham.

366
00:16:35,119 --> 00:16:36,537
Oh, I'm the opposite.

367
00:16:36,620 --> 00:16:40,624
I -- I was only ever
really able to play myself.

368
00:16:40,708 --> 00:16:44,294
Well, it's a very
good part.

369
00:16:44,378 --> 00:16:45,504
Ohh.

370
00:16:45,587 --> 00:16:47,464
Mr. Beard, we're so honored

371
00:16:47,548 --> 00:16:49,299
to welcome you back.
Oh, thank you.

372
00:16:49,383 --> 00:16:51,760
Mrs. Child,
I'm a huge fan.

373
00:16:51,844 --> 00:16:54,221
Oh, you're kidding.
Bon appétit.

374
00:16:54,304 --> 00:16:55,556
Amazing.

375
00:16:56,473 --> 00:16:58,517
Would you like to see
the kitchen?

376
00:17:11,488 --> 00:17:13,157
Julia, could you --

377
00:17:23,542 --> 00:17:24,918
Sorry.

378
00:17:44,146 --> 00:17:47,608
Ooh, it smells
like heaven in here!

379
00:17:47,691 --> 00:17:50,110
Jason grows
all his own herbs.

380
00:17:50,194 --> 00:17:51,445
Oh?
We have a garden in the back.

381
00:17:51,528 --> 00:17:53,197
It's practically a farm.

382
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,408
Yes, Paul grows our herbs
in the garden, too.

383
00:17:56,492 --> 00:18:01,955
He would especially appreciate
your attention to detail, Jason.

384
00:18:02,039 --> 00:18:04,291
In we go.
Yes.

385
00:18:04,374 --> 00:18:05,667
Mm!

386
00:18:07,419 --> 00:18:08,837
Ooh, yes!
Ohh!

387
00:18:08,921 --> 00:18:10,130
That is exquisite!

388
00:18:10,214 --> 00:18:12,800
Julia,
I could bathe in it.

389
00:18:12,883 --> 00:18:15,469
Oh, my gosh.

390
00:18:15,552 --> 00:18:18,722
I was 21, I had just
graduated college.

391
00:18:18,806 --> 00:18:22,142
We had this makeshift stage,
totally uneven surface.

392
00:18:22,226 --> 00:18:25,604
One of the leads broke her leg
on opening night.

393
00:18:25,687 --> 00:18:27,606
I suppose
you told her to?

394
00:18:29,358 --> 00:18:30,901
She took direction well.

395
00:18:32,277 --> 00:18:35,531
You know,
I translated "The Maids."

396
00:18:35,614 --> 00:18:37,491
Of course I know.

397
00:18:37,574 --> 00:18:40,160
I used your translation.

398
00:18:40,244 --> 00:18:42,329
You know,
it doesn't surprise me at all

399
00:18:42,412 --> 00:18:44,123
that your background's
in theater.

400
00:18:44,206 --> 00:18:47,417
Why?
A gateau isn't exactly Genet.

401
00:18:51,839 --> 00:18:53,841
Some people are simply
meant to be on a stage.

402
00:18:53,924 --> 00:18:55,759
Yes.

403
00:18:57,261 --> 00:18:59,096
Oh, no, sit.
Sit, sit.

404
00:18:59,179 --> 00:19:01,181
Another round.
I've already paid the check.

405
00:19:01,265 --> 00:19:04,977
Oh!
Time for Act II of the evening.

406
00:19:05,060 --> 00:19:07,354
I have a surprise.
I'm beat.

407
00:19:07,437 --> 00:19:09,273
Oh, nonsense.
The night is young.

408
00:19:09,356 --> 00:19:11,525
Alas, I am not as young
as the night,

409
00:19:11,608 --> 00:19:13,152
and I am
three hours ahead.

410
00:19:13,235 --> 00:19:16,446
Julia, this cannot
be missed.

411
00:19:16,530 --> 00:19:19,116
I am putting my foot down.
Please.

412
00:19:19,199 --> 00:19:21,660
Say yes.

413
00:19:23,704 --> 00:19:26,832
Paul, I called earlier --
Oh!

414
00:19:26,915 --> 00:19:28,208
James Beard here.

415
00:19:28,292 --> 00:19:30,919
I need to borrow your wife
for a while longer.

416
00:19:31,003 --> 00:19:34,006
We have an important mission
in the Mission.

417
00:19:35,716 --> 00:19:40,554
Join us if you can,
but there's no time to waste.

418
00:19:40,637 --> 00:19:42,472
Are you up for it?

419
00:19:42,556 --> 00:19:47,519
Uh, you go if you want to,
but I am in for the evening.

420
00:19:47,603 --> 00:19:49,188
Well, I won't
be home late.

421
00:19:49,271 --> 00:19:51,773
Hello?
Ooh, Julia!

422
00:19:51,857 --> 00:19:56,069
It's the city calling.
We have to go, go, go!

423
00:19:58,780 --> 00:19:59,948
Have a good time.

424
00:20:00,032 --> 00:20:01,074
Oh, I love you!

425
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:36,068
Make a drink?

426
00:20:36,151 --> 00:20:37,819
Okay.

427
00:20:38,403 --> 00:20:40,864
Mm!
Okay.

428
00:20:40,948 --> 00:20:42,783
Mm.
Hmm.

429
00:20:45,118 --> 00:20:48,121
Oh, my.
Who put that there?

430
00:20:48,205 --> 00:20:50,123
Ah...

431
00:20:52,084 --> 00:20:55,754
A Russian gymnast told me
A Russian gymnast told me

432
00:20:55,837 --> 00:21:00,634
that the key
to preventing a hangover...

433
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,180
...is vodka.

434
00:21:13,897 --> 00:21:15,274
Oh. Oh.

435
00:21:15,357 --> 00:21:18,568
Oh. Oh.

436
00:21:18,652 --> 00:21:21,863
Oh, James.

437
00:21:21,947 --> 00:21:25,450
Perhaps it's time
I tucked you in a cab.

438
00:21:25,534 --> 00:21:28,036
I have a full day tomorrow.
Mm-hmm.

439
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:30,372
Mm-hmm.

440
00:21:33,333 --> 00:21:34,710
Shh, shh!
Quiet.

441
00:21:34,793 --> 00:21:37,254
Mm. Shh.

442
00:21:37,337 --> 00:21:40,173
Ma.

443
00:21:40,257 --> 00:21:42,634
Ma.

444
00:21:42,718 --> 00:21:44,469
Ralphie?

445
00:21:44,553 --> 00:21:46,096
I met her.

446
00:21:48,140 --> 00:21:49,891
Julia Child.

447
00:21:51,810 --> 00:21:53,395
You what?

448
00:21:58,984 --> 00:22:00,819
Oh, damn.

449
00:22:00,902 --> 00:22:03,864
Oh, I wish Coco were here.

450
00:22:03,947 --> 00:22:05,824
Bless you, Paul.
Coco?

451
00:22:05,907 --> 00:22:07,451
Yes, that was her name.

452
00:22:07,534 --> 00:22:10,370
His name.
The queen.

453
00:22:12,539 --> 00:22:14,666
Are you alright?
Mm.

454
00:22:14,750 --> 00:22:17,419
Yes, I learned this trick
last night.

455
00:22:20,380 --> 00:22:22,716
Seems that San Francisco
has fallen in love with you,

456
00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:24,092
even the fairies.

457
00:22:24,176 --> 00:22:26,762
Oh, I don't know about that,

458
00:22:26,845 --> 00:22:28,722
but it's certainly
the only place on earth

459
00:22:28,805 --> 00:22:32,059
my singing
will ever be applauded.

460
00:22:32,142 --> 00:22:34,895
A standing ovation,
imagine that.

461
00:22:34,978 --> 00:22:36,480
Hmm.
Oh.

462
00:22:36,563 --> 00:22:39,358
Did you know Achilles
was a drag queen?

463
00:22:40,484 --> 00:22:44,154
His heels
were killing him.

464
00:22:44,237 --> 00:22:46,490
But it was just the one heel.

465
00:22:50,243 --> 00:22:53,580
Oh, merde.
I'm late.

466
00:22:53,663 --> 00:22:56,750
Will you come meet me later at the station?
Mm.

467
00:22:56,833 --> 00:23:01,797
Well, um...won't James be
there for support?

468
00:23:03,715 --> 00:23:06,009
I could use your support.

469
00:23:06,093 --> 00:23:08,845
I'm busy, actually.

470
00:23:08,929 --> 00:23:10,180
Oh?

471
00:23:10,263 --> 00:23:12,015
I'm having lunch
with Claire.

472
00:23:12,099 --> 00:23:14,810
You've been making
your own plans, so...

473
00:23:14,893 --> 00:23:18,355
Well, that's wonderful.
But I just assumed...

474
00:23:18,438 --> 00:23:20,440
What?

475
00:23:20,524 --> 00:23:22,109
Nothing.

476
00:23:24,194 --> 00:23:26,154
Send her my love.

477
00:23:27,864 --> 00:23:29,950
I'm sorry.
I have to go.

478
00:23:30,033 --> 00:23:31,785
The car is...

479
00:23:41,294 --> 00:23:43,213
Duty calls.

480
00:23:43,296 --> 00:23:44,840
Off you go.

481
00:23:50,429 --> 00:23:52,055
Sam has so many
darn patients,

482
00:23:52,139 --> 00:23:54,224
he's on track
to outpace your father.

483
00:23:54,307 --> 00:23:57,519
My dream is they'll open
a practice together.

484
00:23:57,602 --> 00:24:00,605
Dynamic doctor duo.

485
00:24:00,689 --> 00:24:03,191
But where would
the office be?

486
00:24:03,275 --> 00:24:07,654
Close to here, of course.
Your father's is too small.

487
00:24:09,906 --> 00:24:13,326
There's some great space
on Maple Street.

488
00:24:16,037 --> 00:24:18,498
Alice,
are you even listening?

489
00:24:20,500 --> 00:24:23,378
Mom, could you be
more supportive?

490
00:24:23,462 --> 00:24:25,630
Of what?

491
00:24:25,714 --> 00:24:28,508
Of me.

492
00:24:28,592 --> 00:24:31,761
Can't I talk about your brothers
without you getting competitive?

493
00:24:31,845 --> 00:24:33,346
It's not about them.

494
00:24:33,430 --> 00:24:35,515
Mom, it's hard for me
at work.

495
00:24:35,599 --> 00:24:38,226
I have to constantly
explain myself,

496
00:24:38,310 --> 00:24:41,521
who I am,
why I'm there,

497
00:24:41,605 --> 00:24:43,064
and when I come to you,

498
00:24:43,148 --> 00:24:45,775
sometimes, I just want
you to listen.

499
00:24:45,859 --> 00:24:47,486
Oh.

500
00:24:47,569 --> 00:24:49,321
Alice.

501
00:24:49,404 --> 00:24:52,699
I'm your mother,
not your friend.

502
00:24:54,493 --> 00:24:57,537
Let's move those
C-stands over there.

503
00:24:57,621 --> 00:25:00,957
She's quite the sorceress,
isn't she?

504
00:25:04,211 --> 00:25:08,006
I've fallen under
her spell.

505
00:25:08,089 --> 00:25:10,717
You know, when
"Mastering the Art of French Cooking"

506
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,427
debuted...

507
00:25:15,055 --> 00:25:17,224
I was quite jealous.

508
00:25:17,307 --> 00:25:20,894
Not only of the idea,
the scope of it,

509
00:25:20,977 --> 00:25:23,438
but the voice.

510
00:25:23,522 --> 00:25:27,526
Even the title, the gerund --
it invites you in.

511
00:25:27,609 --> 00:25:30,237
That was your idea,
the title, yes?

512
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:31,571
Mm.

513
00:25:31,655 --> 00:25:34,699
I want my cookbooks
to sing like that,

514
00:25:34,783 --> 00:25:36,701
Judith,
and I need your help.

515
00:25:36,785 --> 00:25:39,037
Do mine next.
Oh.

516
00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:43,250
James, I'm flattered,
but that's not what I do.

517
00:25:43,333 --> 00:25:45,418
Well, that's quite clearly
what you do.

518
00:25:45,502 --> 00:25:47,170
Oh. No.

519
00:25:47,254 --> 00:25:50,590
I'm a fiction editor
who happens to --

520
00:25:50,674 --> 00:25:52,175
how did you put it?

521
00:25:52,259 --> 00:25:53,760
Uh...

522
00:25:53,843 --> 00:25:56,137
...have fallen under
Julia's spell.

523
00:25:56,221 --> 00:25:59,849
I edit Julia Child,
not cookbooks.

524
00:25:59,933 --> 00:26:02,811
I am not
a-a cookbook editor.

525
00:26:04,938 --> 00:26:07,399
Places, everyone.
One minute to go.

526
00:26:07,482 --> 00:26:09,985
We should find
our seats.

527
00:26:10,068 --> 00:26:12,946
Live audience members can
go ahead and take your seats.

528
00:26:13,029 --> 00:26:15,282
Let's move cameras to marks
and fly equipment out.

529
00:26:15,282 --> 00:26:17,450
This is a universal
crepe batter.

530
00:26:17,534 --> 00:26:22,747
You may add spices to the mix
if you like, or nutmeg.

531
00:26:22,831 --> 00:26:24,958
Good wrist work, Ken.

532
00:26:25,041 --> 00:26:27,043
I can see you've had
plenty of practice.

533
00:26:28,670 --> 00:26:31,756
Have you made crepes
like this before, Ken?

534
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,384
Haven't used a hot plate
since chemistry class.

535
00:26:34,467 --> 00:26:36,803
Oh, well, cooking is just
like chemistry,

536
00:26:36,886 --> 00:26:40,640
but we are encouraged
to lick the instruments.

537
00:26:43,143 --> 00:26:45,854
Oh, Ken,
if you can assist me.

538
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,405
Kenny, Kenny.

539
00:26:55,488 --> 00:26:59,242
Ooh, you're not afraid
of a little flame, are you?

540
00:26:59,326 --> 00:27:01,453
Didn't I read that
your television station

541
00:27:01,536 --> 00:27:02,621
burned to the ground?

542
00:27:02,704 --> 00:27:04,581
Oh, that's before
my time, dear.

543
00:27:04,664 --> 00:27:07,042
Before my time.

544
00:27:10,170 --> 00:27:12,756
This is great
television.

545
00:27:12,839 --> 00:27:15,759
Well, if lily-livered Ken
won't help me

546
00:27:15,842 --> 00:27:18,762
complete my show-stopper,
perhaps my dear friend

547
00:27:18,845 --> 00:27:20,805
James Beard
will come to the rescue?

548
00:27:20,889 --> 00:27:24,476
James Beard, everyone!
James Beard, everyone!

549
00:27:26,478 --> 00:27:28,521
And now, we flambé!

550
00:27:31,900 --> 00:27:34,653
Julia, did you know
that Crepes Suzette

551
00:27:34,736 --> 00:27:36,279
were created by mistake?

552
00:27:36,363 --> 00:27:40,450
A waiter accidentally
set fire to --

553
00:27:40,533 --> 00:27:41,701
Suzette.

554
00:27:45,121 --> 00:27:47,791
A little bit of the sauce
on top of it.

555
00:27:47,874 --> 00:27:49,250
Thank you, James.

556
00:27:49,334 --> 00:27:53,797
And there she is --
Miss Crepes Suzette.

557
00:27:56,716 --> 00:28:02,138
Remember to tune in to
"The French Chef" on KQED.

558
00:28:03,890 --> 00:28:05,558
Ah.
There you are.

559
00:28:05,642 --> 00:28:07,143
Oh!

560
00:28:07,227 --> 00:28:10,146
Teaching America how to cook
is hard work, I see.

561
00:28:10,230 --> 00:28:12,649
Those lights were
awfully hot.

562
00:28:12,732 --> 00:28:15,694
Anyway, I'd best be off.
I have a plane to catch.

563
00:28:15,777 --> 00:28:18,405
Oh, so soon?
You came all this way.

564
00:28:18,488 --> 00:28:20,532
Don't you want to play
awhile longer?

565
00:28:21,866 --> 00:28:23,284
No more play for me.

566
00:28:23,368 --> 00:28:26,037
Julialand is the most
entertaining place,

567
00:28:26,121 --> 00:28:28,665
but there is a mile-high
stack of novels

568
00:28:28,748 --> 00:28:31,167
in my office
calling me away.

569
00:28:31,251 --> 00:28:32,669
It's good.

570
00:28:32,752 --> 00:28:35,797
It's my work.

571
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:40,343
Somehow, I always feel
replenished after time with you.

572
00:28:40,427 --> 00:28:43,179
And my pants,
always a little tighter.

573
00:28:48,143 --> 00:28:49,811
Russ, I'll see you back there.
Yeah. Okay.

574
00:28:49,894 --> 00:28:53,022
Nice to meet you.
Yeah, that's great.

575
00:28:53,106 --> 00:28:55,066
She killed on the radio
this morning, too.

576
00:28:55,150 --> 00:28:56,693
I loved the bit
about iceboxes.

577
00:28:56,776 --> 00:28:58,486
I never call them
"refrigerators" either.

578
00:28:58,570 --> 00:29:00,029
Who has the time?

579
00:29:00,113 --> 00:29:02,323
You really got something.
It's funny.

580
00:29:02,407 --> 00:29:04,659
I didn't understand it at all
till this weekend.

581
00:29:04,743 --> 00:29:07,162
A cooking show?
With her as host?

582
00:29:07,245 --> 00:29:09,289
I don't think we've seen
anything quite like this.

583
00:29:09,372 --> 00:29:12,041
Oh, and Russ,
I spoke with Philly.

584
00:29:12,125 --> 00:29:14,127
Expect a call.
Oh.

585
00:29:14,210 --> 00:29:15,503
Thank you.
Great.

586
00:29:15,587 --> 00:29:18,173
How did you come up
with "The French Chef"?

587
00:29:18,256 --> 00:29:20,592
I mean,
how did you know?

588
00:29:20,675 --> 00:29:22,051
I didn't.

589
00:29:22,135 --> 00:29:24,220
I had no idea.

590
00:29:24,304 --> 00:29:28,308
I think my mother would
have loved "The French Chef."

591
00:29:28,391 --> 00:29:29,893
Oh, Edith
with a television?

592
00:29:29,976 --> 00:29:32,061
Can you imagine?

593
00:29:32,145 --> 00:29:35,940
She was too busy
to sit still long enough.

594
00:29:36,024 --> 00:29:38,735
You know, when she
was bedridden,

595
00:29:38,818 --> 00:29:40,153
I would draw for her,

596
00:29:40,236 --> 00:29:42,822
just so she would have
something to critique.

597
00:29:42,906 --> 00:29:46,451
She lived to deliver
pithy barbs.

598
00:29:46,534 --> 00:29:50,246
My work gave her
ample opportunity.

599
00:29:50,330 --> 00:29:53,583
But I loved her, so...

600
00:29:53,666 --> 00:29:56,586
I'm sorry that I haven't
been able to visit you,

601
00:29:56,669 --> 00:29:58,379
or Robert,
as much as I'd like.

602
00:29:58,463 --> 00:30:01,216
You've always been there
for both of us.

603
00:30:01,299 --> 00:30:04,260
And now Julia's right there
in my l
