Different Flowers Page #7

I've loved you for so long

and so deeply, so purely

and I've spent eight

incredible years with you.

I know.

- So can we just get out

of here please, together?

I'm here to win you

back, Mildred Haven.

Oh Charlie.

- I love you and I

accept you, all of you.

If you apologize I'll take

you back in an instant.

An apology?

- I've just been feeling

terrible, I'm sure you have too.

We just gotta come

back together.

- I don't wanna be

with you, Charlie.

You don't mean that.

You don't mean

that baby, come on.

What about our plan?

The plan?

The yellow house.

- That's not me anymore,

I don't want that.

(laughs)

- Babe, come on,

of course you do.

It's what we've talked

about, babe that's the dream.

I don't want the yellow house.

I want arguments, I want

big cities and trouble.

Okay you can have both.

I can give you both.

- Oh god I knew you were

gonna say that, Charlie.

Charlie you are the

kindest man that I know,

and it makes me feel guilty

that I'm not more kind

or sweet or perfect.

- But you are perfect,

you're perfect for me.

- No, no I'm not, I'm

not, and I know that

and I'm okay with that,

I'm... I'm figuring that out.

- Can you just come

home with me please?

Can we just go home and we

can figure this out together?

Charlie.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry that I hurt you.

I just can't.

Is this because of Emma?

'Cause this doesn't sound like

you, this sounds like her.

I knew it.

I knew it as soon

as you two took off.

Can we just talk about this?

- Don't touch me!

Don't touch me!

Oh my god it doesn't matter.

You know what it

doesn't matter because

the last few days without

you have been happier

than I can ever

remember feeling.

And do you know what

that freedom feels like?

It feels like summer.

It feels like all the

things that I didn't think

I was allowed to feel.

I was just doing what I

thought I was supposed to do

but that is not the

same as loving someone.

("Moon River" by Sara Morgan)

Moon river, wider than a mile

I'm crossin' you

in style some day

Old dream maker,

you heartbreaker

Wherever you're goin',

I'm goin' your way

Two drifters, off

to see the world

There's such a

lot of world to see

We're after the

same rainbow's end

Waitin' 'round the bend

(kissing and laughing)

My huckleberry friend,

Moon River, and me

(clanks)

Dropped your weapon.

Thank you Blake.

Nice to see you Millie.

I'm gonna talk to

you soon, okay?

- Great yeah.

- Okay yeah.

(light music)

You're looking real good.

So.

You met Blake.

Sure did, yep.

And?

- Probably a little

too muscular for me.

Sure.

But you know, to each his own.

What?

- I dunno, just you know the

next time that you ask out

my man friend could you

please just tell me about it?

If you could communicate

that to me with words

that would just be helpful.

- I talked to Charlie.

- No!

Don't change the subject.

He's actually really

important to me.

Oh, sorry.

- But I mean, how many

hot guys did you think

there were in Marcy?

Everyone's so geriatric.

- You know when you

put it like that.

- Right?

- Mm hmm.

So.

You called Charlie.

Mm, nn nn, he came here.

What?

Way to bury the lede!

He was here.

- Yeah.

Where is he now?

He's gone.

He's gone?

He's gone.

Gone gone.

Well good for you.

Girl gang.

- Girl gang.

- Boop.

(laughing)

(gentle music)

- Emma?

- Hmm?

- Hey chickadees, what's

all that squawking about?

(laughing)

[Both] Nothing.

- You know you girls are so

lucky to have each other.

Growing up with four

brothers is hard.

I do love 'em, but oh my

sweet lord, they were a pain.

All I ever wanted was

a good girl friend.

And I tried, but... I was

sharp around the edges.

I look at you two and I

think how great it must be

to have someone

that just gets you.

Sisters are special.

You have someone to

be different with.

Now, whatever is going

on between you two,

you need to let it

out, let it all out.

Howl at the moon,

and then let it go.

Because there will never

be someone as important

as the one standing

right next to you.

So get off your

darn high horses.

You know what to do.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

- That was good.

(laughing)

You know Emma, ever

since you were a baby

you knew exactly

what you wanted.

Now one day you decided

that I was your favorite.

Well I felt so special.

I was the only one that

could make you stop crying.

And then the next day

it'd be someone else.

Huh.

- But the only one that

could always make you laugh

whether they cared

about it or not...

Wait, really?

- You two are very

important to each other.

I think it's time you stopped

being such boneheads about it.

- Grandma what was

I like as a baby?

Fussy.

(scoffs)

You sure were darn cute though.

You were cute.

Mm hmm, I heard that.

- Yeah, not present

tense, past tense.

Hey Mills?

Yeah.

Think I need to talk to you.

I don't wanna go.

- What?

No no, I was gonna say I

kind of want to go alone.

- Oh I wanna stay

here for the summer.

I wanna stay and see

what happens with Blake.

It needs to be whatever

it wants to be.

- Emma Haven look at you,

jumping off the deep end!

- Is that okay?

- Yes!

You finally found a good

one, I am so proud of you.

Ugh.

- No this'll be good,

this will be good.

I'll swing by home

for damage control,

and then I'll do

the drive to DC.

What?

What if you don't get in?

I'll just figure it out.

- Millie Haven and

not having a plan!

Well I learned from the best.

- Oh that's true!

- That's you.

(laughing)

- Guess I can't use

these, but, you know what?

I think he likes you.

- Me?

- Mm hmm.

(gentle music)

Albert you're my number five.

Hey.

You forgot these.

(uplifting music)

Hit the dashboard,

just whack it!

Turn on the wipers,

hit the dashboard.

[Millie] Got it!

Woo!

("Go Back" by Darlingside)

We were always on our way

Rolling up our sleeves

Ever moving forward

In the tracks where we

lived our simple lives

Kept our blinders on

Eyes to the horizon

I know I'm no

doctor but I know

You can't live in the past

But the only way

to go is to go back

And return to who we were

Before we disappeared

Into the thick of big ideas

Now we can see

the sweeping view

But we're waiting

out the storm

Stuck under the awning

I know I'm no

doctor but I know

You can't live in the past

But the only way

to go is to go back

Into everglades, greener

yesterdays, skip the stones away

Go back to the start

Photos in the darkroom

before they fade

So we hold to who we are

Even into the arc

Beyond our furthest edges

To a world full of

strange and towering skies

And a chance to choose in time

To set out on our own way

I know I'm no

doctor but I know

No doctor but I know

You can't live in the past

But the only way

to go is to go back

(gentle music)
