Different Flowers Page #2

just stayed in my car.

- I thought we were gonna

get hit by lightning.

- [Charlie] Just we

talked, you know?

We talked for hours.

Yeah.

It was perfect.

- [Charlie] Millie you

and I, we're perfect.

Oh god Charlie.

It just doesn't feel like

it's perfect anymore.

- Millie all of these

people are waiting

for us to get married.

- Well this is about us,

this isn't about them.

- [Charlie] If it's about

us then what's the problem?

We're meant to be together.

(pensive music)

I don't know.

I don't know about that.

- [Charlie] I can't

believe this is happening.

I can't either.

- [Charlie] Can you just

tell me where you are?

We need to talk about this.

I'm sorry.

Charlie I...

(phone goes dead)

(honking)

So?

I'm even more confused now.

Okay well...

There's no turning back now.

The damage is done.

I apologized to him.

What?

Ugh.

Jerk.

- What?

No.

No he's hurting, just like me.

I feel terrible.

It's gonna be okay.

Trust the system.

Ooh, there she is.

Alright, rule number

three, new look.

So let's get you out

of this situation.

Millie, how are you breathing?

I'm not.

Oh god Jesus Christ!

Out, out!

Ta da

What?

You couldn't have worn

these in the wedding?

- Oh you couldn't have

worn these to the wedding?

Hold that.

- Why do you have

a ukulele in there?

- You never know when the

mood's gonna strike, you know?

No.

What are these from your failed

t- shirt for millennial business?

I wouldn't say failed.

You know what?

You know what?

I'm good.

- Dude it's clean.

- It's been in the

back of Albert.

These look like you.

- Look, let's put

your ukulele back.

This thing.

- It's just a

beautiful brassiere,

I don't know what your issue is.

What are you...

Serio... oh my god, you are

the prudest person ever,

you know that?

Okay.

You're super covered now,

I can't see anything.

- Hey.

- Hmm?

What about Mom?

Oh, don't worry.

It's all handled.

(light music)

Come on, you know

what step four is.

- What if I want to

look at them again?

- No, no, you have

to delete it all.

Out with the old,

in with the new.

Yep.

- Did these rules

even work for you?

Because trying them

on for the first time,

I gotta be honest.

I think I may not have

known what I was doing.

Just trust the system.

Alright well...

I'm sure you have a plan.

- We are going to, wait

for it, Grandma's house.

What?

Yeah.

Well come on.

You've always loved

it at the farm.

- No I really haven't,

I'm not a farm girl.

- Well once a farm girl,

always a farm girl.

- Except for I was

never a farm girl.

That was always you out

with Grandma, you know?

Playing with the chickens

and goats and fish, ugh.

I mean is Grandma okay with it?

Of course.

Why, do you have a better idea?

No.

(phone vibrating)

Oh god, it's Mom.

Emma please, I don't want to.

- I can't take it.

- I don't wanna take it.

Please?

No, I'm driving a car.

(clears throat)

Hi Mom.

- [Mom] Where in the

absolute heck are you?

I'm with Emma.

- Okay well that's great

but you gotta get your butt

back upstairs, you've

got a wedding to perform.

- You said that

you handled this.

I did.

I did.

I did, I texted her.

- You texted her?

- Yeah.

You texted her?

- Oh Jesus.

- What?

Oh Jesus.

What?

- Um it didn't go

all the way through.

Emma, are you kidding me?

You are a nincompoop!

Millie, Millie, Millie.

What's going on?

We're all waiting!

I'm so sorry Mom.

Emma and I, we can't... we

can't come back.

I can't marry Charlie.

Calm down, everyone calm down!

Are you alright?

Are you physically alright?

Yeah.

- Then what the heck

is wrong with you?

Is this Emma's idea?

No, no.

Look I'm so sorry Mom, I...

- You can save your

apologies for your prayers,

Mildren Haven.

Have you thought

about this at all?

[Millie] Yes!

Of course I have.

(string quartet music)

Really?

'Cause it doesn't seem that way.

Can you please keep it down?

Honey, I know that this is

a very stressful day for you

and it's also gonna be

the best day of your life

and you've put me in a

little bit of a pickle.

I'm sorry Mom.

Have you talked to Charlie?

How does he feel about all this?

How does Charlie feel?

Mom have you even asked me

how I feel, do you care?

- Of course I do

sweetheart, it's just...

You couldn't come up

with this revelation

just a couple of months ago

before I paid all the deposits?

I gotta go sweetheart I

got a lot to do, okay?

I'll talk to you later.

- Okay look, I am really...

(phone goes dead)

What the hell Emma?

I said I'm sorry!

No you haven't!

Okay well I am.

How's Mom, is she okay?

Oh my god how is Mom?

How about me?

How about how is Millie?

I just left my wedding.

Hey Millie, how are you?

- No, don't ask me now, I

don't want you to ask me now!

- Shh, take some deep breaths,

just nice deep breaths.

I know exactly what you need.

(upbeat pop rock music)

This song?

Yeah.

- This is what you

thought I needed?

(feedback squealing)

Um.

There's been a change of plans.

("Face in the Moon" by

Springtime Carnivore)

Millie.

Come on, quick pit stop.

- Emma, no I'm really

not in the mood.

Come on, it'll be fun.

You're standing there

Brushing the comets

out of your hair

Are you coming back to her

Yeah okay.

- Okay.

For a little while

You think that love

Always rises out of your reach

It's a cold and distant thing

You can barely see

Calling to the dark

Is anybody out there

Woo!

Is anybody out there

Come on Millie!

That's when I fall apart

You gotta try this!

I'm the one right here

I'm the one right here

Oh I hope you see it soon

(phone vibrating)

Are you gonna find that

Face in the moon

- Look Millie, I'm

giving you some time.

Just say the word and I'm there.

I love you.

I hope to talk to you soon.

You don't like it easy

No no

You don't like sure

I press my hands to the glass

Of the revolving door

All your pain

You're spinning

like a weathervane

And you know I would be

The end of your storm

Calling to the dark

Is anybody out there

Is anybody out there

That's when I fall apart

I'm the one right here

I'm the one right here

Oh I hope you see it soon

I applied to law school.

In DC.

Are you gonna find

that face in the moon

What?

No way!

Do Mom and Dad know?

No.

I haven't told them,

I haven't told anyone.

Oh Charlie would

kill me if he knew.

He wants to put a down

payment on a house.

Well he wanted to.

But if I get in, I

would move in the fall.

- Millie that is

such a big deal.

I know.

(laughing)

There is this historic

prosecutor who lectures there.

I'd really like to

be the tough guy.

You are a tough guy.

(laughing)

Yeah, we'll see.

- You're gonna be

a real grown up.

I don't know about that.

Charlie and I spent so much

time talking about Tupperware

and sofas and cable providers.

Mmm, cable providers.

Sounds like such a sexy time,

I hope you used protection.

[Millie] Ha ha.

- No really, I had this

one friend who dabbled
