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 abother 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.

During the day

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.

• 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!

Day 3

• 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.

• 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.

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.
