June in January Page #2

YES, BUT ALL I WANT TO PLAY

ARE THE LATE QUARTETS.

BEETHOVEN?

THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.

AND SAD.

THEY MAKE ME:

EVEN MORE DEPRESSED.

SO THIS YEAR I THOUGH I WOULD TRY

TO DEAL WITH IT HEAD ON.

MM-HMM.

I THINK:

WHAT YOU'RE EXPERIENCING

IS SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER,

NOT INAPPROPRIATELY,

"S.A.D." FOR SHORT.

IS THERE SOMETHING

YOU CAN GIVE ME FOR IT?

YES, BUT BEFORE WE GO

THAT ROUTE,

WE SHOULD TALK ABOU YOUR SLEEP PATTERNS, DIET,

EXERCISE ROUTINES,

SEE IF THERE'S

A NATURAL WAY:

WE CAN HELP YOU:

THROUGH IT.

WHATEVER YOU ADVISE, OKAY?

I JUST WAN TO FEEL BETTER.

WELL, THEN,

THIS WILL BE EASY.

WE HAVE THE SAME GOAL.

CHECK IN WITH ME

IN ABOUT A WEEK OR SO.

LET ME KNOW:

HOW YOU'RE DOING.

I WILL.

[BABIES CRYING

IN WAITING ROOM]

WHO'S NEXT?

THE REDMAN FAMILY,

THEIR FLU SHOTS.

ALL SEVEN OF THEM.

I'LL LINE UP

THE NEEDLES.

[KIDS SHOUTING AND PLAYING]

[]

I KNOW IT'S HARD

TO IMAGINE NOW,

BUT EVERY JUNE,

THIS PLACE IS ABLAZE

WITH PINK AND RED ROSES.

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL.

I BET.

SO THIS WOULD:

WORK FOR YOU?

WOULD IT WORK FOR YOU?

YEAH.

WELL, THEN,

WE SHOULD BOOK IT,

NOW, BEFORE

ANYBODY ELSE DOES.

[CHUCKLES]

I SHOULD PROBABLY

GET BACK TO WORK, THOUGH.

OKAY.

[]

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

THANK YOU.

I'LL TAKE THAT IN HERE.

ALEX BLACKWELL.

HI.

YEAH, IT'S GOOD

TO HEAR FROM YOU.

SURE, I HAVE A MINUTE.

WHAT'S UP?

WELCOME.

HI.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

WELL, I'M IN THE MARKE FOR A FLORIST,

AND EVERYBODY SAYS

YOU'RE THE BEST.

OH, DO THEY, NOW?

WHAT'S THE OCCASION?

I'M GETTING MARRIED

IN JUNE.

WOW, GOOD FOR YOU.

THANK YOU.

CAN I SHOW YOU:

WHAT I HAVE IN MIND?

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

A WOMAN WHO KNOWS

WHAT SHE WANTS.

I LIKE IT.

MY MOM AND I STARTED

SAVING THINGS WE LIKED

WHEN I WAS SEVEN.

PEONIES AND RANUNCULUS.

REALLY ORIGINAL.

WITH BUNCHES:

OF CORAL FLOWERS

TO ADD A LITTLE POP.

IT'S PERFECT.

YEAH... AND YOU SEE

HOW THESE CLAY POTS

WERE USED AS VASES,

WITH DIFFERENT COLORED

RIBBONS WRAPPED AROUND?

WE LOVED THAT.

I CAN SEE WHY.

YOU AND YOUR MOM

MAKE A GREAT TEAM.

"MADE."

SHE, UM, DIED A FEW YEARS AGO.

OH, I'M SORRY.

WELL, HOW WONDERFUL IT IS

THAT YOU HAVE THIS.

YEAH, IT IS.

AND MY GUARANTEE

THAT I'LL GET EXACTLY

THE WEDDING I ALWAYS DREAMED OF.

[]

HEY, YOU.

HELLO.

[GIGGLES]

DID YOU TEXT ME:

YOU WERE COMING OVER?

I DID NOT.

I JUST WANTED TO SEE YOU.

IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

IT'S AMAZING.

I HAVE, UH,

I HAVE SOME NEWS.

SOME EXCITING NEWS.

- WHAT?

- YOU KNOW I'VE ALWAYS WANTED

TO LITIGATE ENVIRONMENTAL LAW

FOR A TOP FIRM.

OF COURSE.

I CONTACTED:

A HEADHUNTER LAST MONTH

TO FIND THAT JOB.

MM-HMM.

AND HE FOUND IT.

IT'S, UM,

IT'S NOT JUST A TOP FIRM.

[GASPS]

ALEX!

THAT'S FANTASTIC!

I KNOW.

UM... ONE SMALL CATCH.

TWO.

A CATCH?

OR TWO.

SO THIS...

THIS JOB, IS, UH...

IT'S GONNA BE...

IT'S IN CLEVELAND.

CLEVELAND?

OHIO--

YEAH, I KNOW

WHERE CLEVELAND IS.

YEAH, UM...

AND IT STARTS IN EARLY FEBRUARY.

EARLY FEBRUARY...?

AND I'M LEAVING IN A MONTH.

WHAT?!

NO!

ALEX!

NO, NO, YOU CANNO GO TO CLEVELAND,

NOT WITHOUT ME.

I-- I KNOW.

WHICH IS WHY I THINK

WE SHOULD GET MARRIED NOW.

NOW.

MM-HMM.

[WHISPERS] NOW?

HEY, SO I'M LOOKING

AT THE CALENDAR.

IF WE GET MARRIED

THE LAST WEEKEND OF THE MONTH,

THE 30th--

IT'S A SATURDAY--

THAT GIVES US THREE WEEKS

TO PLAN THE WEDDING.

AND PACK,

AND FIND A REPLACEMEN AT WORK. I...

IT'S A LOT.

I KNOW... NO WHAT YOU HAD IN MIND.

WELL, NO.

I MEAN, GETTING MARRIED IN JUNE

HAS ALWAYS BEEN:

A DREAM OF MINE.

MY PARENTS WERE MARRIED

IN JUNE.

I WAS BORN IN JUNE.

THEY NAMED ME JUNE.

JUNE'S YOUR TRADITIONAL

WEDDING MONTH. I GET IT.

I REALLY DO.

BUT I LOVE YOU.

AND I WANT YOU TO BE MY WIFE,

AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SPEND--

DITTO. ALL OF THAT.

IT'S JUST...

I NEVER IMAGINED

NOT HAVING A JUNE WEDDING.

OKAY, WELL,

IF IT'S REALLY

THAT IMPORTANT TO YOU,

THEN LET'S JUST HAVE I IN JUNE.

I HATE THE IDEA:

OF LIVING:

HALFWAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY,

IN ANOTHER CITY:

THAN YOU,

BUT IF WE HAVE TO DO IT,

WE HAVE TO DO IT.

I HATE THAT IDEA, TOO.

NO.

WE CAN ABSOLUTELY, 100% DO THIS.

AND IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT.

IT WILL BE.

YEAH.

ALL OF IT.

ALL OF IT.

PROMISE.

OKAY.

YOU'RE LEAVING.

NO.

YEAH.

IN A MONTH.

I UNDERSTAND:

I NEED TO ADVERTISE

FOR A NEW:

NURSE-PRACTITIONER.

I'M SORRY.

I'D SAY "ADVERTISE

FOR A REPLACEMENT,"

BUT YOU'RE

IRREPLACEABLE, JUNE.

YOU'RE PRETTY

IRREPLACEABLE YOURSELF.

WHERE ARE YOU:

AND ALEX HEADED?

CLEVELAND.

YEAH, I ALREADY

STARTED LOOKING:

AT JOB LISTINGS OUT THERE.

WELL, LET ME KNOW

IF YOU NEED ANY HELP.

THANK YOU.

BUT GIVEN:

THE GREAT EXPERIENCE I GOT HERE,

I THINK I SHOULD BE OKAY.

I'M REALLY GONNA MISS YOU GUYS.

[]

[SIGHING]

MRS. BAINBRIDGE

DROPPED OFF HER PAPERWORK.

OKAY.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

WELL, YEAH, I'M FINE.

WHY?

YOU JUST SEEM:

A LITTLE...

DISTRACTED.

I'M SORRY.

IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS.

ALEX HAS A NEW JOB.

IN CLEVELAND.

CLEVELAND?

HE AND JUNE ARE GETTING MARRIED

IN THREE WEEKS:

AND MOVING THERE.

WOW.

I'M JUST CURIOUS.

HOW DID ALEX AND JUNE MEET?

WHY DO YOU ASK?

I DON'T KNOW,

JUNE JUST DOESN'T SEEM LIKE

THE KIND OF GIRL

THAT ALEX WOULD NORMALLY...

HANG OUT WITH.

THEY MET PROFESSIONALLY.

OH.

SHE NEEDED AN ATTORNEY?

NO, HE NEEDED A NURSE.

STREP THROAT.

HOW ROMANTIC.

YEAH. APPARENTLY.

THIS IS SUCH:

A HORRIBLE THING TO SAY,

BUT DON'T YOU THINK IT'S

A LITTLE BIT OF A CLICHE?

WHAT?

THE NURSE:

WHO SNARES THE RICH GUY.

YES, THAT IS A HORRIBLE THING

TO SAY.

I'M SORRY.

DOESN'T MEAN

IT ISN'T TRUE.

I'M READY

FOR MY MORNING ESPRESSO.

I'M ON IT.

I LOVE THE FABRIC

YOU'VE CHOSEN

FOR THE RECEPTION

PLACE SETTINGS, JUNE.

I KNOW.

ISN'T IT COOL?

MOM AND I:

FILED THAT ONE AWAY

ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO.

IS IT STILL AVAILABLE?

AMAZINGLY, YEAH.

IT TOOK AN HOUR:

OF WEB-SURFING

TO TRACK IT DOWN,

BUT NOW I JUST NEED

TO ARRANGE:

TO HAVE THE PLACE SETTINGS

ACTUALLY MADE.

WELL, LET ME.

I LOVE TO SEW.

GRACE, I COULDN'T POSSIBLY

ASK YOU TO DO THAT.

YOU'RE NOT ASKING.

I'M OFFERING.

I'D TAKE HER UP

ON HER OFFER, JUNE.

I'VE SEEN HER QUILTS.

THEY'RE TERRIFIC.

[PHONE RINGS]

[CHUCKLING MODESTLY]

EXCUSE ME.

IT'S MY DAUGHTER IN NEW YORK.

YOU OKAY WITH THIS?

DAD, IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS.

YOU'RE ALLOWED

TO DATE AGAIN.

SO YOU DON'T MIND?

WHAT DID MOM SAY?

"CHARLIE, DON'T BE SELFISH,

MAKE SOMEONE ELSE

AS HAPPY AS YOU MADE ME."

SO, I'VE DIVIDED UP

THE TO-DO LIST.

THERE'S STUFF THAT WE'LL

NEED TO DO TOGETHER,

BUT WITH THE REST,

I FIGURE:

IF WE EACH TAKE HALF,

WE SHOULD BE ABLE

TO PULL THIS OFF.

HOW BIG A WEDDING

ARE YOU THINKING?

SMALL.

LIKE IMMEDIATE:

FAMILY MEMBERS ONLY?

OH, COME ON,

A LITTLE BIGGER THAN THAT.

I'M SURE YOU'RE GOING TO

WANT MATT TO BE THERE.

AND NO WAY AM I GETTING MARRIED

WITHOUT TESSA,

OR DR. MELLO,

AND DAD'S GONNA WANT TO

BRING GRACE.

ALL RIGHT, SO YOU STILL WAN TO DO IT HERE?

NO.

NOT THIS TIME OF YEAR.

WE'LL HAVE TO LINE UP SOMETHING

INDOORS,

AND FAST.

YOU KNOW, IT'S NO THAT EASY FOR ME

TO GET AWAY FROM WORK

RIGHT NOW.

I STILL HAVE TO PREP THE GUY
