What... uh...

who is it?

Delivery.

It's him.

It's...

what is it?

Flowers.

That's

what he does.

He's

a delivery boy?

It's sort

of a hobby.

It's... ah...

what do you

want me to say?

Tell him

nobody's home.

He's got flowers.

Forget it.

We've seen what

you do with those.

Kim!

Can I please

just see

What Mr. Right

looks like?

Just...

Delivery?

Is Mr. Right

kind of short,

About 16,

with a little...

all right.

There you go.

"Thank you

for a day

Of too much

perfection."

No. No.

They took a break

between 12:
00 and 8:00.

Other than that,

they've been coming

On the hour.

I don't know where

to put them anymore.

That little guy

must be exhausted.

No. There's

another one, too.

They go in shifts.

I know. It's great.

But he's

just wasting it

On the wrong person.

Marry him.

Marry him now.

Oh, my god.

This can't

continue.

No, no, no, no.

That's not

going to be enough.

I'm going to need

at least another 12 dozen.

Fly them in

if you have to.

It's important. Thanks.

You're going to

blow this, buddy.

Have you called

morrow's yet?

You cleaned them out

about six hours ago.

You're going to

scare her off.

I already did that.

Jeez, Lewis, not

for nothing, but-

Randy,

I just found her.

I screwed up once

in my life.

I don't want

to do it again.

Rosen's- We haven't

tried Rosen's yet.

Hey, Pete.

This is Lewis.

I was wondering

if you had any more...

uh, I'll call you back.

Hey.

Hi.

I'll, uh,

I'll clean up.

All right?

Yeah.

Hi.

How are you

doing?

Jimmy, let's go.

Take it easy.

I cleaned out the city.

It's all

in my apartment.

Look, um, I'm sorry

about yesterday.

That was all wrong.

I moved too fast.

No, you didn't

move too fast.

I'm just not

used to having, uh...

look,

I know I don't

really know you,

But, uh, yesterday was

one of the nicest days

I've had

in a long time.

I just...

I forgot...

it's not...

it's not you.

It's me.

Just...

you're just wasting it

on the wrong girl.

I won't bother you

anymore.

You're not...

you're not

bothering me.

My, uh...

my wife

painted this.

She used to...

to work for museums

Restoring paintings.

I was still

on the trading floor

When she

did that one.

See, we, uh,

We met

in high school,

Started dating,

And after

I got this job

As a runner

at goldman sachs

Working these 14-,

16-hour days,

Paid my dues,

got my own desk-

Six months later,

we, uh,

We got married.

She stayed home,

and she painted,

And I kept

climbing the ladder.

Then she got pregnant.

One night, I was

working pretty late,

And I got this call.

They told me that

she'd gone into labor,

And...

and that there

were complications.

I lost everything

in one second.

So I just-

I cashed out.

Then one day,

I saw this guy

delivering flowers,

And I thought,

"Maybe that's

what I should do.

"I'll deliver

flowers.

"Has to be the best

job in the world.

Everybody's always

happy to see you."

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry to lay

all this on you.

One question.

Why me?

I guess...

I guess I finally

looked up...

and...

and your light

was on.

Hey!

Hey.

Morning.

Did you, uh,

you sleep well?

Yeah. My clothes?

I took them

to the dry cleaners.

I hope that's ok.

I had

some things to get-

So I'm a hostage.

I can go get them

real easy.

I'm just kidding.

Uh, I also got you

some toothpaste

And your own

toothbrush

And, uh,

your own bathrobe

So you don't

have to walk around

In the sheet,

And there's some

new towels, too.

Exactly what time did you

get up this morning?

Yeah. Bacon-

Do you like bacon?

Because

I wasn't sure,

So I got some ham,

And I got

some steaks.

If you're not

a meat eater,

You know,

I didn't know.

I got some of these

tomatoes here

And some

green peppers

And, um,

Uh, but I

don't know.

Coffee.

Uh, coffee-

Regular or decaf?

Or maybe

you want some tea-

Some

english breakfast,

Earl grey,

orange pekoe?

Coffee, coffee, coffee.

Fine.

Coffee.

Uh, sweet 'n low?

Sugar?

Half-and-half?

Milk?

Black.

Black?

We don't actually

have to eat at all.

The other morning,

You didn't order

breakfast.

I wasn't sure

if that was because

You weren't

a breakfast eater

Or because you thought

I would kill you.

Yeah. I...

was.

Actually,

I'm starving.

Are you? Good. Good.

I must seem pretty

ridiculous here.

Mm-Hmm.

I'm not sure,

you know.

Ah...

you're kidding.

It was amazing.

He's amazing.

I mean,

We delivered

flowers.

I wore a hat.

It's just...

the whole thing

was...

just completely-

Amazing?

Look who's back.

Hey.

We'll talk later.

You'll tell me everything.

Hello?

Yes. Hi.

I'm sorry.

Hang on a sec.

Hello.

Aha! The creature lives.

Where have you been?

Danny.

You've been working all weekend

again, haven't you?

Can you

hang on a sec?

Um, it's Danny.

Oy.

Can I

call you later?

You better.

Bye.

Hi.

Um, can you

have lunch?

Come on. Guess.

You and your

mysteries, Lewis.

I don't know.

You heard the most

amazing new story?

No.

You bought

a new hoe?

Wen, you're not

even trying.

What?

You built a beach

On top of

the World Trade Center?

No...

I, uh, I met somebody.

Sam, I'm going

to need the car.

Well, it's

a great story-

Standing

in the window,

Juliet

on the balcony.

I just don't want to make

any mistakes this time.

I just want to

get everything right.

I want it

to be perfect.

Lewis...

do you, um,

Do you remember

when you were-

You must have been

Jason's age,

Like 7 or 8,

And you were working

with grandpa Lewis

In the garden?

Yeah. He was

teaching me

How to water the plants,

and I thought

If a little water

was good,

Then a bunch...

by the time

we stopped you,

The whole place

looked like Thailand.

Right. Lake Lewis.

I was very proud of that.

It's just that,

you know,

This is your first

time out there.

I just... I would

really be afraid

To see you put

too much on this.

Hmm.

Well, I think

It might be

too late for that.

I think

I'm in love with her.

It's great.

So how did it end up?

He was actually

pretty relieved.

We'd been going for a

long stretch this time.

Listen, how about

I come over later

And maybe

bring us a pizza?

I can't.

I'm leaving early.

Oh. I...

excuse me?

"Snowflakes fell... "

You don't

remember that?

Come on. Hello?

The fruit cocktail.

Thank you.

That year,

we were the only two

Who didn't go home

for winter break.

So we went

up on the roof

And ate

fruit cocktail

And drank

peppermint schnapps

Until I threw up

all over the place.

So how come

you didn't go home?

My mother

was going through

One of her nightmare

dominatrix periods.

You really

don't want to know.

No, you don't.

Why don't you

tell him

About the kids?

I warp young minds.

She works for, um,

an outreach program.

Explain it to him.

Well, you know,

We work on building

their self-esteem,

Working with them

as a team,

And every year

we put on a play.

For example,

we put a little girl
