Delicious: Emily's True Love/Fresco's Diner Express

This is the third episode of Emily's True Love. After Emily decided to go to Train Station, she goes into the train instead of a plane.

## Chapter 1: The Mix Up

* Emily enters the train. The ride starts.
* Emily: So exciting! Paris by train!
* Emily: My, what a lovely dining car you have here!
* Fresco: I knew it! The health inspector! Please, don't close me down!
* Fresco: Please! Come back another time! I have five children to feed! FIVE!
* Emily: Er... I'm not an inspector, I just wanted a snack.
* Fresco: Oh, in that case we're closed.
* Fresco: My entire staff quit. They said working with me was like being on an 'emotional rollercoaster.'
* Fresco: Because of that, chores have just been pilling up.
* Emily: I can help you clean up the restaurant to impress that health inspector.
* Emily: I'm pretty good of this. Let me see what I can do.
* Fresco: Great, then I can finally take a day off to order more ingredients!
* Fresco leaves the diner.

#### Afterward

* Fresco enters the diner.
* Fresco: Wow, you really are good at this!
* Emily: Always happy to help a fellow restaurateur.
* Fresco: Muchas gracias! My name is Fresco.
* Emily: Nice to meet you Fresco, I'm Emily.
* Fresco: Emily, I wish I has six more just like you! That health inspector, he's gonna be here soon, I know it.
* Emily: Well, I'm here until Paris and I'll be glad to lend a hand until then.
* Emily: I'm going to find my sleeping car. Goodnight!
* Emily goes to the sleeping car.
* At night, there was a critic in the car.
* Emily: YOU!
* Philippe: I see you've come for that kiss after all.
* Emily: What are you doing here?
* Philippe: I should ask you the same thing.
* Emily: But... I booked this car! Here, my ticket's in my suitcase. I show you.
* Emily gets a ticket.
* Emily: Uhm... this isn't my suitcase...
* Philippe: I'm sure the conductor can sort things out for us in the morning. Goodnight!
* Philippe, the food critic, goes to sleep.
* Emily: Great. I guess I'll just sleep on that trunk, then.

### Day 2

* Emily reads: Do you remember? How on a horse made crimson by the colors of the sunset, we made one rider?
* Emily dreams about a horse with Jean Paul.
* Philippe enters the diner.
* Philippe: Good morning. Sleep well?
* Emily: The trunk is lumpy and you snore.
* Philippe: The bed is quite comfortable... if you join me I assure you there'd be less snoring... or sleeping.
* Emily: I'd rather sleep in the luggage compartment.
* Philippe: Perhaps that can be arranged...
* Philippe: ... the conductor is looking for you, something about 'validating your ticket'.
* Fresco enters the diner.
* Philippe: Also, your friend Carlos called. Your suitcase got mixed up with that of someone else. Yours will be waiting for you in Paris.
* Philippe: Hmm... not bad. A little bitter perhaps.
* Fresco is now the cleaner.

#### Afterward

* Fresco leaves the diner.
* The conductor is looking at Emily.
* Conductor: There you are. You must be Emily. I'm afraid I need to see your ticket.
* Emily: I left it behind in my suitcase. It'll be waiting for me in Paris! I can show it to you then.
* Conductor: Then I'm sorry, but you must buy a ticket or exit the train first thing in the morning.
* Emily: Great. I can't afford another ticket. Guess I'm off the train tomorrow.
* Emily goes to a car.
* Philippe: Hello. I fear we 'got off on the wrong foot'. I thought we'd start now.
* Emily: That's er... very sweet of you Philippe, but I'm exhausted. I better get some sleep.
* Philippe: Perhaps a 'goodnight kiss', then?
* Emily: In your dreams.
* Philippe hops on the bed.
* Philippe: See you in my dreams, then.
* Emily goes to sleep on the luggage. Good night, Emily and Philippe!

## Chapter 2: 'Just' Dinner

### Day 3

* Emily reads: And I felt that if I asked it sweetly enough, it would take us to our private world.
* Emily dreams about a picnic in Jean Paul.
* Emily: Hi, I can't buy a new ticket, so I guess I'll deport now.
* Conductor: No need! Your ticket has been taken care of.
* Emily was so scared. The Conductor leaves the diner.
* Fresco enters the place, giving Emily a hug.
* Emily: Thank you SO much, Fresco!
* Fresco: Er... You're welcome!
* Philippe: Did you know you're an amazing kisser?
* Emily: What are you talking about?!
* Philippe: Oh, the dream I had last night!
* Philippe: You know, you don't have to go chasing old boyfriends around to find love, Emily.
* Philippe: Sometimes it's right in front of you.
* Emily: You read my letter?
* Philippe: If you didn't want me to read it you shouldn't leave it out in the open.
* Emily: It was in my jacket pocket!
* Philippe: Which was out in the open. Au revoir, Emily.
* Philippe leaves the diner.

#### Before the event

* There was a rolling table rolled out of the diner.
* Fresco: Oooh! I swear that cart has a mind of its own!
* Emily: I'll keep an eye on it, don't worry.
* Fresco: Be careful! It's devious, I tell you! Devious!

#### After the chase

* The cart stopped rolling.
* Fresco: Good work! But it's only a matter of time before it breaks free again...
* Fresco: I'll be ready next time, you hear me? I'll be ready!

#### Afterward

* Fresco opens the oven, and saw a box.
* Fresco: Yuk, even cardboard would taste better.
* Emily: Fresco, let me cook dinner for you tonight.
* Fresco: For me? But you've already done so much!
* Emily: Not at all! I owe you! Sit down and relax, I'll take care of everything.
* Emily and Fresco are eating dinner. There was Philippe entered the diner.
* Philippe thought to himself: After all I've done- giving her a place to sleep, everything! We'll see about this...
* Philippe leaves the diner, giving Emily a place.

### Day 4

* Emily wakes up.
* Emily: You're up early.
* Philippe: I'm afraid I didn't sleep every well last night; food poisoning, you see.
* Emily: Not from Fresco's kitchen?
* Emily surprises and was scared.
* Philippe: Where else? I'm writing up my report now... your boyfriend better finds a new line of work.
* Emily: Fresco is not my boyfriend. He's a nice guy who did me a big favor without asking anything in return.
* Philippe: Oh, HE did you a favor, did he?
* Emily: Hey, it's not my fault the train double-booked us!
* Philippe: Dinner with me, tonight! Or I send in my review!
* Emily: Never!
* Emily leaves the car, going to the diner.

#### Afterward

* Emily: Sigh... it's just one dinner. I'll do it for Fresco.
* Emily leaves the diner and enters the car.
* Philippe: I knew you'd come to your senses!
* Emily: If I were sensible I wouldn't be here.
* Philippe: Come, Emily. We have drinks, music, the romance of the train, what else do we need?
* Emily: What I need, Philippe, is to have a real connection with someone before I enjoy their company.
* Emily: I need to know that I'm not just another conquest, that a man cares about me as a person.
* Emily: You may have read Jean Paul's letter, but you sure didn't learn anything from it.
* Emily: You do what you want with your review. I'm going to sleep in the dining car.
* Emily leaves the car.

## Chapter 3: Smooth Sailing

### Day 5

* Emily: Fresco, I think I know who the food inspector is...
* Emily: ...it's Philippe! The guy I was forced to share a sleeping car with!
* Fresco: Good! He loves it here.
* Emily: It doesn't matter. he's going to give you a bad report, and it's all because of me!
* "Well, if it isn't **Philippe Dubois**, food critic extraordinaire. Reviewing dining cars now, are we?"
* "Perhaps you can save me the trouble of an inspection by telling me what you think of this place?"
* Philippe: Hmm...
* Philippe: It's... it's... it's wonderful!
* Philippe: They use local ingredients, it's very clean... and they have the most beautiful servers in Europe.
* "Right, this is still a health inspection! I'm going to start by tasting some of your food."
* "I'll start with the shrimp salad."
* Emily: Don't worry, Fresco! The place looks great!

#### After serving

* "I suppose the food seems okay. I'll just have a look around."
* Fresco: That's it! I'm going to jump off the train!
* Emily: I suppose it went fine, Fresco. Relax!

#### Afterward

* Emily: So you're a food critic?
* Philippe: It was a natural fit... I have very discerning tastes.
* "Oooooh..."
* Fresco: Er... you must be motion sick.
* "I know food poisoning when I have it!"
* "Something here made me sick. Unless you can find the source I'm shutting you down!"

### Day 6

* Emily and Philippe are looking for something.
* Emily: Who would think you can fit this much stuff into such a tiny space?
* Philippe: The basil and oregano don't mind. In fact they seem to have fallen for each other.
* Emily: Philippe! I told you, there's someone else...
* Philippe: Ah, yes. Jean Paul, hes probably bald and has three chins by now!
* Emily: Besides, we have to find what made the health inspector sick before Fresco is shut down.
* Philippe: Can I help it if you're distracting? It's like trying to wax the floor underneath the Mona Lisa.
* Philippe leaves the diner. There's a train conductor.
* He is now the entertainer.

#### Afterward

* Emily and Philippe enter the car.
* Philippe: Pardon me, but I am exhausted, you will have to seduce me in the morning.
* Philippe goes to luggage bed to sleep.
* Emily: Why are you...
* Philippe: That bed is too soft for my back.
* Emily sits on the bed and reads a letter.
* "The Ferris Wheel turned, under a warm Paris night. I closed my eyes, I hugged you tight."
* Emily dreams about the Ferris Wheel with Jean Paul, again.

* Emily: We found it!
* Fresco: Hurrah! I'm saved!

### Day 8

* Emily reads a letter and dreams about Jean Paul's first kiss to Emily.
* Philippe: Why are you so obsessed with that letter, Emily?
* Emily: Jean Paul was the love of my life when I was sixteen.
* Emily: When I had left Paris I poured out my hear to him in a letter...
* Emily: ...his response was stuck in the mail for sixteen years! Can you imagine?
* Emily: It's just like...like the movies! It has to be fate!
* Philippe: Let me tell you another story... Two passengers, forced to share a sleeping car.
