00:24
>> What? Why not?
00:27
>> I need one quick photo first.
00:28
>> One photo? Sure, no problem.
00:30
>> Great. Move your hand away from the
00:33
plate.
00:35
>> I was only holding my fork.
00:36
>> Exactly. It ruins the picture.
00:38
>> Come on. It will get cold soon.

01:01
>> Wow, it really is.
01:04
>> Please, Emma, just one bite.
01:07
>> No, the cheese still looks perfect.
01:09
>> I never knew food could be busy.
01:11
>> This pasta has a future online.
01:14
>> My future looks weaker every minute.
01:16
>> You are funny when hungry.
01:19
>> I am not trying to be funny.
01:21
>> That makes it funnier.
01:23
>> Are we on a date or in a photo studio?
01:24
>> Both. Lucky you.
01:27
>> Can I at least smell the food closer?
01:29
>> Fine, but do not breathe on it.
01:32
>> That is the strangest rule ever.
01:34
>> Beauty needs discipline.
01:36
>> My stomach disagrees loudly.
01:38
>> I heard that again.
01:41
>> Look, the steam is disappearing.
01:42
>> Oh, no, you're right.
01:45
>> Finally, can we eat now?
01:46
>> Wait, one last video.
01:48
>> Emma, please tell me that was the last
01:50
one.
01:53
>> Almost. I need a better angle.
01:53
>> The best angle is inside my mouth now.
01:55
>> Wow, that was clever.
01:58
>> Hunger makes me creative.
02:00

02:05

02:08
>> Are you always like this with food?
02:10
>> Only when it looks beautiful.
02:12
>> What if I look beautiful, too?
02:13
>> Then I would take your photo next.
02:16
>> Please feed me first.
02:18
>> Fair request.
02:20
>> Thank you. Finally.
02:21
>> Wait, I forgot dessert. Pictures later.
02:23
>> I suddenly hate dessert.
02:25
>> You don't mean that.
02:27
>> I right, I love cake.
02:29
>> I knew it.
02:31
>> Can I eat now, photographer?
02:32
>> Yes, carefully.
02:34
>> Why carefully?
02:36
>> Because I may still need one close-up
02:37
shot.
02:40
>> Emma.
02:40
>> Kidding. Relax.
02:42
>> That was not funny.
02:43
>> It was a little funny.
02:45
>> Wow, this pasta is amazing.
02:46
>> See, worth waiting for.
02:49
>> Maybe 5 minutes, not 10.
02:51
>> Fine, I can negotiate.
02:53
>> Next time, three photos only.
02:55
>> Four photos and one video.
02:58
>> That sounds suspiciously specific.
03:00
>> Because I already planned it.
03:02
>> You are dangerous.
03:04
>> And organized.
03:06
>> Fine, but next time I eat first.
