He followed as much of the ridiculous conversation as he could, adding in his own limited vocabulary when Paul got stuck on conjugating a verb. "Ou est le fromage. Le chien est blanc. Allons enfants de la Patrie. J'aime les petits garcons."
Paul laughed but their waitress pulled a perfect pissed off Frenchie expression and looked pointedly at her pad of paper.
"Je m'appelle Pierre." Paul tried again. "Right? I think that's how you say it."
"Pierre?"
"Good and French, yeah?"
"I get to be Napoleon then. Je... What's it, again?"
They were completely ignoring her now, heads bent together so he could hear Paul's slow pronunciations.
