In this short scene, we learn that Madame Tussaud's boss, Madame Bovary, has fallen in love with a young man named Yulan, who is also a model. Madame Bovius, the boss's friend and confidante, is shocked to learn of the news. She asks Yulan if he has heard about the news, and he tells her that he has not. He tells her to hurry up and report the news to Madame Bovy, because it is probably fake. He also tells her not to worry about the details of the marriage, because he has some important business to attend to.
