** "'''''[[ThisIsGonnaSuck LACTOSE INTOLERANCE]]!'''''"
*** The build-up to it, actually.

to:

** During her train ride with Luc, Kate decides one morning to live adventurously and try all types of cheese for the first time in years, not remembering why she never liked cheese in the first place. A couple hours later, she's belching and whimpering in pain, much to Luc's confusion. She has symptoms like "spasms" and sensitivity to "the rocking" of the train. And when Luc tries to get her mind off her discomfort by pointing out the scenery and the cows, it only makes it worse because "[she] just ate that cow".
*** And then we have the pay-off, when she remembers why she hasn't eaten cheese in years:
"'''''[[ThisIsGonnaSuck LACTOSE INTOLERANCE]]!'''''"
*** The build-up to it, actually.
INTOLERANCE]]!'''''"

** "I [[DarkReprise hate]] Paris in the Springtime, I hate Paris in the Fall when it drizzles(...) Oh why do I hate Paris? Because my Love is there with his ''slut'' girlfriend."
** When Kate hears an announcement on the plane in French, she worriedly wonders to Luc what she was saying. He "[[TheGadfly translates]]" that [[BlatantLies there's a crack in the engine but the plane will take off anyway]]. Kate can only give a JawDrop at how incredulously careless these airlines are. ...Until she hears the real English translation overhead, suspects Luc was messing with her head, and shoots him a dirty look for it.

*** Building on that, there's a beautiful juxtaposition between Charlie's and Luc's family. Charlie has caring parents who took a shine to Katie, but other than that, he only has one [[{{Jerkass}} rather rude]] younger sister. In contrast, Luc has loving parents ''and'' a slew of warm-hearted siblings and cousins and relatives who took to Katie like ladle to soup. What makes this all so special is, if it's to be believed Kate's own parents are [[ParentalNeglect so distant]], Luc has the kind of family she's always wanted.

** Luc's family really liking Kate. When Luc says Kate is "just a friend" to his sister, his sister smiles that screams, "Oh, a companion you call a friend? You must ''really'' like her." Later, Luc's family applauds Kate enjoying a dish.
