Marinette is cutting fabric.
Xuppu: I'll bet you anything it's a tablecloth for a picnic.
Marinette: Not even close, Xuppu. It's a cape. (She gets up.) This one's for the superhero of creation. (Walks over to a red cape.) This one's for the supervillain of destruction.
Xuppu: Capes for Cat Noir and Ladybug?
Marinette: No, it's for a movie. (The kwamis ooh.) You know, those make-believe stories they show on TV?
Tikki: I'm so excited and the best part is me and Plagg can be human and we can get a good view of your amazing work
Sass: You guys are lucky you can be human, some of the Kwamis lately have been trying to figure out how you two can do it
Marinette: Remember they'll probably ask you guys to help us out, I mean you know how to use your hands
Tikki: That's true, and I can show them my taste
Orikko: Are you two gonna be famous?
Marinette: No, I'm the costume designer, I'm not acting in it. We are gonna be on the news. (Gasps.) I'm gonna be late! (She grabs two flashlights and leaves.)
Tikki: Gotta go see you all later (Turns Human and goes through the window)
Nadja: And now, the very original project coming from the Françoise Dupont school in Paris. Clara Contard reporting.
The students are getting ready for the movie.
Clara: Under the initiative of the art teacher, Jean-Pierre Monlataing, one of Françoise Dupont school's alumni, Thomas Astruc, who's become a successful film director, is participating in an ambitious project. (Thomas Astruc shows Zoé and Mylène how to use the swords.) He's overseeing this group of students who are volunteering their own vacation time to produce a real-life movie. (Nino and Jean-Pierre supervise Nathaniel as he draws.) From script to storyboard, not to mention costumes, (Rose admires Marinette's costumes)—everything's being done by the students themselves (Alix and Chloe paint a sword green.) with financial support from Paris' city hall.
André: Yes; you know, I myself directed a few in my youth, and—
Clara: And the cherry on top is that the film will be released in select movie theaters thanks to famous producer Bob Roth. (An image of him appears, and André peeps from behind. Rose and Marinette help Mylène and Zoé with their costumes.) What a lucky break for these student-filmmakers, as well as for the two young actresses who'll be starring in the main role!
Zoé: (reading script) You may hate me, but I love you, and I always will!
Angela: (throws banana peel at the screen with Zoé) A film with my half-of-a-sister as the star?! Ridiculous!
Sabrina: (offering a banana from a bowl) Do you want another banana, Angela? I've heard they help put people in a better mood.
Angela: (grabbing the banana) What I want is to go tell that bunch of lamoes how things work in real life! (She walks off. Sabrina runs after her.) In my life.
Zoé and Mylène are rehearsing.
Zoé: You may hate me, but I love you, and I always will—
Angela: (slamming the door open) How dare you all! Giving the lead role to my half-of-a-sister who just came out of nowhere?! Instead of me or at least the better sister! And with daddy's money, on top of it all.
Chloe: Sis Uh, it's not actually funded by us, but by the city. There's obviously a difference
Angela: Nope it's Same thing. (Walks over to Zoé.) You—I told you that you'd be sent back to New York if you ever crossed my path, and now, not only are you on my path, but on TV, too!
