Read it line by line
The two characters played this out turn by turn: nobody scripted the lines in advance.
First impressions
If I may — that's a very honest brim you've got on that umbrella. You've been holding it like a hat for ten minutes.
Honest, love? It's a lie. It's a very expensive lie about the weather. And you're the only person tonight who's looked at my hands instead of the subtitles on that placard.
The challenge
The placard says 'artist unknown'. I think the translation is wrong, though. Unknown to whom, I'd ask. Someone knew. If I may, the hat on that portrait was blocked on a 1920s form. Somebody remembered it wrong on purpose.
Remembered wrong on purpose. That's the best description of subtitling I've ever heard. Forty-two characters to say what a whole grandmother meant. I always lose the grandmother.
The decision
Then let me keep the grandmother. I'll fix the collar of whatever you translate next, and you can tell me when I've blocked the word wrong. Is that a plan or merely a tour?
It's a tour with a bad ending, love, so let's take the long way out. Fix the collar. Argue with me about the grandmother. We'll see what the placard says.

The date
First impressions
They meet by the umbrella stand, trading insults about brims.
The challenge
The 'artist unknown' placard becomes a shared argument about who remembers wrongly on purpose.
The decision
Ludovic offers to keep the grandmother, and Isadora turns her collar toward him.
The twist
The placard they argued over turns out to have been translated by a freelancer very like Isadora.
The finale
They leave by the long way, arguing happily about one word and a collar neither will let go.
Ending: A second date
Who leaves the date first? They leave together
The box score
How this was scored
A second date: chemistry 71 and attraction 63 carried it (a date played for genuine chemistry counts chemistry most). Endings read where the numbers finished, not how far they moved. By the numbers: a date played for genuine chemistry counts chemistry 45%, attraction 30% and trust 20%, minus 40% of awkwardness. This one came out +13.1 against an ordinary date: friends needs +11.0, a second date +16.0. Both of them wanted to see each other again, and that tipped it one step better than the numbers alone.
“Remembered wrong on purpose. That's the best description of subtitling I've ever heard.”
