Different Flowers Page #4

Do not let her drive, okay?

What?

- [Mom] Yeah she

can't drive right now.

You gotta be kidding me, why?

- [Mom] She got a DUI and

her license was suspended.

Mom.

[Mom] She can't know you know.

She's so embarrassed by it.

Just insist on

driving, okay lovey?

- Mom, she drove me

the whole way here.

[Mom] What?

Millie how could

you let that happen?

- Well you could have

told me something earlier!

- [Mom] I've had quite a

bit on my plate, missy.

Someone walked out on her

wedding and created a madhouse

of 200 heartbroken people

and I can't get my refund

from Chef Souza.

- Okay okay okay.

I'm sorry, okay.

- Okay, alright, thank you.

Thank you, I appreciate that.

(pensive music)

I'm on the phone!

I'm not really hungry,

you'll know when I am.

Chicken breast and a salad,

dressing on the side.

Oh wait no you know

what I want some...

- Hey Mom?

- Yeah?

Yeah, I'm here.

- How did you know

that you and Dad

couldn't be together anymore?

- [Mom] Well I guess we just

weren't meant to be, honey.

Thank you.

[Mom] You're welcome baby.

Take care of yourself, okay?

Promise?

Yeah.

Oh Mom.

- Yeah?

What?

- Um... do you think you might

be able to go to our apartment

and get my mail?

Maybe send anything

that looks important?

Or just call, you

know, whatever.

Whatever's easiest, I just...

I don't really

wanna ask Charlie.

- [Mom] Sure, of

course I can sweetie.

Thanks.

[Mom] I love you.

I love you.

Bye.

- Bye.

[Emma] Okay, I'm ready.

You can't wear that.

Why?

This is like my

most popular shirt.

- Yeah you're gonna

have to change.

(light music)

(sighs)

(singing)

Is it better?

Sure.

Oh bye Macaroni.

That's a different chicken.

They're all Macaroni to me.

- That's okay I

got it, I'll drive.

- Oh please, you're

in a weakened state.

You've driven plenty.

No really, I don't mind.

Don't...

Don't be a child, Emma.

Look I didn't want to say this.

But Mom told me.

Oh.

That's none of your business.

What happened?

You're not an idiot, why

would you drive drunk?

It's not what you think.

You lied.

And we had a bottle

of vodka in the car,

that's really messed up Emma.

I'm a good driver.

- That's not the point.

- I know.

You put yourself at risk.

You really need to think

about what you're doing.

- I was thinking that I

was taking care of you.

- I don't need you

to take care of me.

Yeah clearly not.

(light music)

- [Dolly] Carl, keep

that bacon coming.

(text notifications dinging)

Yes, three bars, finally.

Well.

What can I get you

ladies this morning?

(laughing)

Emma!

- Hi Dolly!

Millie.

Well I understand you're

a married lady now.

It didn't work out.

Oh.

You know what they say.

They say breakfast

makes anything better.

(laughing)

- Amen.

- Amen.

And y'all looking so pretty.

Why wasn't that long ago

that you all were in here

bouncing up and

down on the tables.

I know.

Two Dolly specials

and hot apple pie.

- That sounds nice.

- Absolutely.

Absolutely?

Absolutely.

Coming right up ladies.

Thanks Dolly.

- Emma, if Dolly knows

that means the whole town

is gonna know.

You don't know that.

What?

Marcy Swap and Shop.

Mildren Haven seeks new groom.

You've gotta be kidding me.

(gasps)

I am.

Emma could you...

Could you please put that away?

This is actually

really hard for me.

What?

Everyone is staring at me.

- Nobody here gives

a hoot about you.

Wow thanks.

Tough love, baby dove.

- Should I call Charlie?

- What?

Just you know check in.

No, no!

You don't leave a man

at the alter and then

grovel at his feet.

Woman up, Millie.

I think you should

take that off.

(pensive music)

Ah.

Okay.

I think we should play a game.

- A game?

- Mm hmm.

It's called tiny thefts.

Okay.

Here's how it goes.

We each do a lap

around the diner

on our way to the

restroom or whatever.

And we steal something small,

we bring it back to the table

and we compare and whoever

stole the best thing

gets a prize.

- Emma I'm not gonna

steal something.

- You don't know

what the prize is.

Okay, what's the prize?

One million dollars.

No it's not.

- Winner gets to drive.

- No.

Top bunk.

- Okay.

- Yes.

Tiny thefts.

You go first.

No no no no.

No nubes go first.

- You literally just made this

game up, how are there rules?

- Oh and it has to fit

in the palm of your hand.

What, are you kidding me?

These are the rules.

Excuse me.

(murmuring)

Can you eat something else?

- Yeah, of course I

can eat something else,

I always can eat something else.

(chuckles)

How about them Belgian waffles?

What are you thinking?

No man, I'm too full.

Some key lime pie?

You don't need any more.

- Oh my god, oh

my god, I did it!

- Real suave.

- I did it!

Is that a wallet?

- No no no no, you're supposed

to steal something small

like a salt shaker or something.

What?

- Yeah no what happens

when these people

wanna pay for their check?

Oh yeah.

You have to go put that back.

- Well I haven't gone yet, and

I'm pretty sure I would win

because I wouldn't do

something that would get us...

Oh definitely not.

Oh you have no idea.

- You can't even

just let me win.

There's so many tiny things!

- It was your stupid

idea in the first place!

- My stupid idea wasn't

to steal somebody's money

it was just to

steal somebody's...

- Do you like me?

- I guess I like you.

- You're prettier

than me, take it.

That is insane, I am not...

- Take it.

- Why?

Excuse me ma'am.

Were you just over

there by my mama?

Seems like we're

missing something.

I...

- Now I'm gonna ask you

nicely to give it back!

You know we're good people.

There wasn't much

money in there anyways.

(laughing)

Oh my god!

What's wrong with her?

I'm so sorry, here.

Thank you.

- She just left a

man at the alter

and they've been together

for almost a decade.

- Oh my god.

- I know.

Oh my god.

Honey I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry, that's so sad.

So sad.

I mean.

I... you... this was... I... I feel

guilty like for everything.

And I don't know...

- No no no it's not

your fault sweetie.

He sounds like a real loser.

(laughs)

You really spooked us.

You can't go around

stealing people's wallets.

I know!

I don't do that.

We're not stealers.

- Not usually, no.

- No.

You look like you need a hug.

She does!

- I don't want a

hug, I don't think...

Stanley, what are you doing?

Can't believe you.

You take care, alright?

Okay, we'll do that sir.

Two Dolly specials.

Hot apple pie coming up next.

Thank you Dolly.

You girls take your time.

It's so good to see you.

Yes.

- Don't steal my salt

shakers now hear?

Oh, one time.

You win.

Well, I'm about ready for a nap.

- A nap?

- Mm hmm.

- I'm still like shaking,

I'm like physically shaking.

Um...

What?

No.

- Please?

No.

No way.

- Please.

I'm wrecked.

No.

- Please?

Please?

Please?

Please?

I really hate the puppy face.

I've never like the puppy...

- Please please

please please please.

Go, please go.
