Different Flowers Page #6

Oh

(groans)

Emma.

What?

Get up, get up.

- No, we gotta go upstairs

before we fall asleep down here.

What?

No this is good.

I'm cozy.

- My head hurts.

- Such a wuss.

Why would you do that to me?

(car pulling up)

(gasps)

I'll show you who a wuss is.

That really wasn't that tough.

(thunder rumbling)

(cries out)

- Oh whoa whoa whoa...

- Oh god!

Whoa, are you okay?

Yeah, I...

Hey!

Just stay back,

don't come close.

Okay yeah no I surrender.

Please, don't cook me.

You should probably stay inside.

Tornado watch is in order

for another hour or so.

- Oh watch, smatch, I only

go inside for warnings.

Oh I see.

A true midwesterner.

Yeah.

We would sit on our porch

and watch 'em go by.

Cool, yeah.

I'm Blake.

Millie.

This is my grandma's house.

- Oh Mildred's your grandma.

- Mm hmm.

Cool, cool.

I'm staying with my uncle

for the summer, Rodney.

Yeah well, he pretty much

just keeps to himself.

Mildred asked me to keep

an eye on the animals

and then he asked me to

come over and make sure

they didn't get too spooked

here with the weather.

Of course.

- She was going down to her

granddaughter's wedding?

Were you there?

Yeah.

It was lovely.

Nice.

Uh... so what's with the weapon?

I was making eggs.

Uh huh.

I'm sorry if I scared you.

No, you didn't scare me.

I was just weird.

Stay still.

(hits)

- Ow!

Ah, just saved your life.

Thanks for that.

I like it out here.

It's good when you need a place

to be alone and just think.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

- I'm gonna go check on the

chickens if you wanna come.

- Oh that's exactly

where I was headed.

Sure, just you know,

don't get too close.

(chickens clucking)

Looks like the chickens

are still here.

(chuckles)

Yeah, looks like it.

You wanna do a lap

around the silo?

Yeah.

That's a great idea.

Love that idea.

- [Blake] So you're

just visiting?

[Millie] Yeah.

[Blake] Bummer.

I just mean there aren't

a whole lot of people

to hang out with here in Marcy.

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

Do you wanna get married?

- Wow Millie I'm

flattered but we just met.

No, no not with me.

God I just meant like in life.

I dunno, maybe someday.

- Yeah I really thought

I was gonna get married

but now I'm not so sure.

I just keep thinking about

all the things I wanna do,

you know?

Well.

I think whoever you marry

should help you do those things,

not keep you from doing them.

Yeah, I totally agree.

(hits)

Ow!

Wow.

- Got him.

Two in a night.

Look at that, that is fantastic.

So maybe I'll see you around.

- Yeah I mean... I

would... maybe tomorrow.

- I just meant maybe

I'll see you around.

Kinda have a girlfriend.

I mean we haven't really talked

about it so I don't really

know for sure but

she's just so great.

Of course.

You'd really like her.

You actually kinda

remind me of her.

Ah!

- Alright.

- Okay.

Yep, both going this way.

(rooster crowing)

(light music)

Hey.

Good news, the power's back

on so that means coffee, woo.

Do you want any

breakfast, eggs, bread?

How do you want me

to cook your eggs?

Fried?

- You want me to

poach your eggs?

Scrambled?

- There we go,

that's more like it.

Oh my god, eggs.

That's a far cry from how

we used to eat here as kids.

What's the name of that

cereal we used to eat.

Ooh, chocolate puffs.

- I thought I was

chocolate crisps.

Nuh uh.

Coco Nuggets, you ingrates.

- Grandma!

- Hi Grandma!

- What in tarnation are

you doing at my house?

You didn't tell her?

- I...

- No.

No she did not, nobody

tells me anything.

Oh Grandma I'm so so sorry.

Mm hmm.

You know Millie, you've

caused a lot of trouble.

But this is some next level BS.

I thought you knew.

- Would I let you wallow

in self-pity alone?

Absolutely not.

I was cleaning up

the mess you made.

Little did I think I'd

return to more mess.

- I'm sorry, let me

help you with that.

(gasping)

Oh!

Waffle iron.

Ba ba ba ba ba!

We're going to

write apology notes

and return every

single one of those

so don't get any big ideas.

Wait are all of these for me?

- Yes, they're all

for you goofleberry

and the cake is in the car.

You mean the groom's cake.

It's the least you can do.

- Well Grandma please

just throw it out,

it's gotta be stale.

I'm not above it.

Never waste a good cake.

She gets it.

Grandma, why didn't you just

mail these from Kansas City?

It's gonna cost a

fortune from here.

Don't you worry.

Go on, get.

- Ow!

- Ow!

God look where you're going.

Get in the car.

- God I cannot believe that

you didn't tell Grandma.

- This is exactly my

problem with you Emma.

You're a pathological liar.

Oh my god, no I'm not!

Please don't yell at me.

- You're the one

whisper yelling!

(gentle music)

[Emma] What have I done now?

[Millie] You upset Grandma!

[Emma] She seems fine.

It's kinda fun having her here.

[Millie] Fun?

Oh yeah great, splendiferous.

- Splendiferous, really.

Yeah, look it up.

- [Emma] You're just

gonna walk away?

What?

I have a date with

the hand number guy.

[Millie] A date, seriously?

(knocking)

You're leaving?

- Who is it?

[Emma] I'll be back.

- Whatever you're selling

we've already got it.

It's for me.

- Well you can't be

too careful these days.

I've got a walk in closet full

of Wilderness Girl cookies.

(clears throat)

- Hi.

- Hi.

Thank you.

[Blake] Wow I was just here.

[Emma] Grandma, this is Blake.

- [Blake] Mildred,

yeah we go way back.

- Well hi, nice

to see you again.

Thanks for watching my place.

Oh my pleasure.

- Can I offer you a

glass of iced tea?

Cake?

- Oh no no no, we

have tickets, right?

So we should probably go?

- Yeah we probably

should get going.

- Yeah.

Sorry.

- [Emma] Blake this

is my sister Millie.

Hey Blake.

It is so nice to meet you, wow.

You take good care of this one

'cause she's my little sister

and you know what

don't stay out too late

'cause we have dinner plans.

Huh.

No worries.

It was a pleasure to

meet you as well, Millie.

Yeah.

Okay.

Now that we've all met and,

you know, shaken hands,

been sufficiently awkward,

I think that we can go.

Right?

- Yeah.

(clicks)

Nice seeing you.

You have fun!

So much fun, all the fun.

What?

Everything's cool.

- Isn't he a cool

drink of water?

- Yep, Emma always

catches that worm.

Oh the hot ones go to Emma.

- I want some tea,

do you want some tea?

Oh yeah I'd love some tea.

And cake.

Ooh, you got it.

(knocking)

Don't get up, I

got it, I got it.

(knocking)

What'd you guys leave something?

What do I do?

Open the door.

Okay.

Hey.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

- I just really

wanted to talk to you.

Brought your mail.

Oh.

- You know I have to

do my childs poses.

If you don't mind, could

you move this to the porch?

(pensive music)

[Charlie] You okay?

I've been better.

Yeah me too.

Mills, hey.

You know I've had a lot of

time to think about this

and I got a lot to say.

Is that alright?

I love you.

I love you so much and
