3.26 Pup In Paris

written by: Diane Wilk

Grandma Yetta is on the way over and Fran is supposed to take Chester to the groomer. They put Chester in his doggy carrier after C.C. gives him a sedative.

Mr. Sheffield is off to Paris on orders from his mother to try to talk some sense into his brother Nigel who has invested his entire fortune in a nightclub.

Mr. Sheffield forgets his bag, and Fran hands it to him on his way out.

When they pick up Chester's bag to go to the groomers, they discover that the bags were switched and Mr. Sheffield has taken the wrong one.

Fran chases after him all the way onto the plane. She finds Chester's bag in the closet, but the steward closes the door with her on the wrong side.

Mr. Sheffield discovers her in mid flight.

Always the gentleman, he makes the best of things. They call home to let the family know where Fran is and that everything is okay.	When they get to Paris there is only one room left in the hotel, so Fran and Max have to share. Which is okay with Fran.....
C.C. is not thrilled at the news. C.C.: Bonjour Maxwell, oh how I wish I were with you whisking off to Paris. Hold on a minute, Nanny Fine is babbling something next to me..... Oh, she's babbling something next to you.

Max: Well, I'm going to take a shower. Nigel should be here any minute and I thought we'd grab a quick bite at L'Orangerie. Try to talk some sense into him, talk him out of that ridiculous nightclub business.... Miss Fine, were you just going to sit there and let me take my clothes off? Fran: Well, I didn't want to spoil my stay in Paris either.	Nigel comes over and is happy to meet Fran.
	But isn't happy to hear a lecture from Maxwell and he leaves in a huff.

Fran won't let Maxwell go home with things unresolved between the brothers. She talks him into going to Nigel's club that evening, but they have a few hours before they can go. Fran: Now let me see.... what can a man and a woman do to kill a couple of hours in Paris? Max: Miss Fine! Fran: Oh come on, Mr. Sheffield. Right now, let's go. Take me.... shopping!

Meanwhile, back at the house.... C.C.: Niles, where's Maxwell? I've been trying to reach his room all day. Niles: Well, try Nanny Fine's room. It's 4592. C.C.: 4592 is Maxwell's room. Niles: Yes I know, isn't that funny? Funny, funny, funny.

The Paris Shopping Trip

That night at the packed club, they enjoy fine champagne and wonderful music from Eartha Kitt.

Max: I'm going to get my passion back. Fran: Well I'm right behind ya baby. Max: First thing I'm gonna do is tell my brother "good show". Then I'm gonna ring my mother and tell her to sod off. Fran: And the passion part would kick in exactly where? Max: Right now. I'm going to go for it Miss Fine. I'm going to grab the brass ring. I'm going to get back in touch and just do it. Fran: Go, grab, touch, do. Did I mention touch? Max: For God's sake, I'm in Paris with a beautiful woman. Come on, let's blow this nightclub and see where life takes us...

Max is jealous of his brother's excitement in his new adventure. He decides it's time to get the passion back in his own life.

Life took them right back on a plane home. But a little turbulence puts a scare it both of them. Fran: What? We hit a deer? We're in the air!	Fran: Oh Mr. Sheffield, I just wanted you to know that these last three years have been just the best years of my life. Max: Oh God, my children! They adored you Miss Fine. Fran: Ya know, now would be a good time to call me Fran. Max: I love you.
Max: Oh God, I never thought it would end like this. Fran: I did! I'm finally flying first class with a handsome millionaire. Of course the plane would go down, what else?
