Appetite for Love Page #8

I wanted to talk to you.

I know what you're thinking

but it's not what it looks like.

Well, it looks like you've been

lying to me this whole time...

...working with Reed

to shut me down.

Yes, we work together,

but that was not the plan.

Well, I don't think there's

any doubt in your mind whether...

...or not you should marry him.

You two are perfect for each other.

Looks like

you and Paisley are, too.

- What does that mean?

- I saw you, kissing her.

- That's not what...

- Not what?

What it looks like?

- She kissed me.

I promise you,

it's over between us.

You know what,

it doesn't matter.

All these years, I've been

trying to prove to myself that...

...even in this small town,

I could make something of my life.

- You have.

- You know what the worst part is?

Is I actually thought that you

might fall back in love with me.

- Clay...

- But you're right.

Nothing changes.

I'm still a small town guy,

and you're still the same girl...

...that'll run over anyone

to get what she wants.

At least this time,

I'm the one walking away.

Hi, honey.

- Clay was going to propose to me.

- What?

I found a letter and a ring.

I always thought

he didn't want to be with me...

...that he just wanted to stay here

and do nothing with his whole life.

Well, what did it say?

It said he didn't

want me to leave.

That he'd be lost without me.

That he knew we were young...

...but that his heart knew

we were supposed to be together.

It said he wanted me to meet him

on the dock the next day.

He had something important

he wanted to ask me.

The day you left.

Oh, baby!

Honey.

I messed everything up.

Okay.

That new motor's

looking real good.

You know it. Darrell

was practically givin' it away.

We've gotta fix those

vinyl seats, too.

Hey, listen, man. I'm really sorry

about this whole thing.

- Deacon, don't.

- No, if you hadn't have...

...given me that loan...

- And I'd do it again.

You're my best friend.

That's the way I roll.

Well, I really appreciate it.

Will you clock the wheel for me?

I want to see if she turns.

It's perfect.

So, what are you gonna do now?

Nothing.

Not about the restaurant

about Willy.

She went back to Atlanta

to marry that guy, Reed.

She may be goin' back to Atlanta,

but she's not goin' back...

...to that jerk. They broke up.

- Who told you that?

Lewis saw the whole thing at the

festival last night. He told me.

- Are you sure?

- No. His eyesight is goin'.

But what does it matter?

You love her.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself

and go fight for her.

Go get that girl back.

Okay.

Thanks, bud.

And finally

a big thank you to Phil...

...our Executive Vice President,

who's joined us today.

And now, let me turn things over

to our brand manager...

...for the national launch

of Hart's Americana Restaurants...

...Mina Jones.

- Thank you, sir.

- Congratulations.

Thank you, Larry.

I...

I think we're making a mistake.

In fact, I know we're

making a huge mistake.

I think that, what Mina's

trying to say is that...

I've got this, Larry.

We shouldn't be launching Hart's as

just another cookie- cutter chain...

...but as a completely new,

organic, farm- to- table concept...

...providing quality food

at small- town prices.

Ms. Jones, as much

as I appreciate your input here...

...this is not the place or time

to be making significant changes...

...to the brand.

- Then when is?

"Fresh- casual"

is the new fast food.

ICB needs to be a company

that listens...

...to what the American

people want.

Larry, I just want to say, that

I have nothing to do with this.

I wasn't consulted at all...

- That's true...

...so why don't you just sit down

and zip it, Reed.

Okay.

What if we actually put the food

before the fanfare?

What if we went back to

a simpler time...

...when people ate at restaurants

where the food is fresh...

...not frozen?

And grown locally...

...not trucked across country

in big bags and cans?

Where locals, like Lucien...

...are as creative

as the top chefs in Atlanta...

...where Clay, the owner

has come up with a way...

...to use the

mineral-rich spring water...

...something no one else

is doing...

...to cook in the kitchen

and irrigate the garden.

He's a forward- thinker,

who's been coming up with...

...environmentally sustainable

concepts for years now.

What if we went back to a time...

...where people actually talked

while they ate?

Where pictures of Little League

teams were on the wall...

...instead of relentless

advertising and 60-inch TVs.

The old Hart's is the new idea

you're missing out on.

We don't need

to re- brand Hart's, sir.

We should be using Hart's

to re-brand ICB.

It's Clay, you know what to do.

Hi, Clay. It's Willy.

I'm sure you don't want to ever

talk to me again...

...so I'll make this short.

Somehow, I managed to convince

ICB to change the entire concept...

...back to what you and Lucien

were doing before I showed up...

...and made a mess of everything.

And I understand

if it doesn't change...

...what you think of me.

Honestly, I don't even know...

...what to think of me anymore,

but I'm sorry. I just...

Hello?

- Hi.

- I was just leaving you a message.

- What were you saying?

You should probably

just listen to it yourself.

- Why don't you tell me in person?

- What?

Turn around.

What are you doing here?

I guess I just wanted to see

what it was you left me for.

And you're right,

this city, it's beautiful.

Clay, I know it doesn't make up for

all the pain I've caused you but...

...there's good news. You're

going to get your business back.

I love you.

I've loved you

ever since I can remember.

Go or stay, it doesn't matter.

I just want to be with you.

I'm tired of wondering what

my life would have looked like...

...if I had done this

15 years ago.

Willy Jones...

...will you marry me?

Yes.

Yes!

Bon appetit.

We're back to officially

being a mom and pop restaurant.

Well, it's gonna take at least

nine months to make it official.

Happy Valentine's Day, Mr. Hart.

Happy Valentine's Day, Mrs. Hart.
