Love Blossoms Page #3

We've been waiting for

you for over half an hour

to look at the

new designs.

Sorry about that, I

got a little distracted.

It's my fault.

The kid was

just helping me.

You should probably

get out of here.

Look I'm sorry, but your

talents are being wasted here.

You could shine

at our Perfumery.

I mean, with your

olfactory talents--

Enough with

the nose, really.

I was just

offering you a job.

I'm good, thanks.

Okay, I guess I'll just "uproot"

and "plant" myself elsewhere.

(laughs)

Think about

it, please.

(engine rumbling)

Mr. Loxley?

My name is--

I know you who

are, Ms. Caine.

I've read the articles about

your copy-cat business.

Well, glad to know my

reputation precedes me.

And please,

call me Olivia.

Olivia, you're

not welcome here.

Oh, well I have

something for Violet.

She's been

ignoring my calls.

Oh...

For her

consideration!

You're wasting

your time.

Excuse me.

Have you seen

a necklace here?

With like a

little thing...

Um, sorry.

(panicked breathing)

Is it

over here?

Oh no.

Okay, come on.

Where are you...

Come on.

(screams)

Oh shoot.

I'm okay, it's okay.

I'm sure it's

right here.

Ahh!

Here!

Yes!

Oh!!

Okay.

Oh my god.

(camera snapping photos)

Do you have any idea how

precious these orchids are?

I'm sorry,

I'm so sorry.

Your girlfriend just

destroyed them!

She is not

my girlfriend!

I didn't mean to.

This is bad.

This is worse

than bad.

I will take

care of it, okay?

It was just

an accident.

Right.

I'm sorry!!

She's up at the

conservatory.

She falls down in the

middle of the garden,

she flattens everything...

including the orchids.

People are taking

pictures of her,

Brophy's head literally

looks like it's gonna explode.

What was she

even doing there?

She came there to offer

me a job making perfume.

Cool, are you

gonna take it?

I don't know.

It's slightly

intriguing, I guess.

I've been designing

gardens for years,

but I've never

designed a perfume.

And you'd get to work with

Little Miss Black Coffee.

Her name

is Violet.

Oh is it?

It is.

You, my friend,

are hooked.

Get out of here, don't you

have something to clean?

Yes, I do.

Thank you.

(phone ringing)

Hey Kimmy.

Who's here?!

Oh, okay.

Oh hi!

Hey.

Hold on, I'm

coming down, okay?

Yeah, yeah.

No worries.

Sorry, lots of stairs.

What's up?

I just came by to see if

that job was still open?

The job, of course!

It's still available.

What made you

change your mind?

I dunno, I was thinking about

what you said about

not letting "my talents to

go to waste" and here I am.

That's wonderful,

when can you start?

Tomorrow morning?

Really?

Okay, yes.

Awesome.

Just come back

here at 9:
00 a.m.

No tie.

Good, I was hoping

you'd say that.

Okay.

I'll see you

tomorrow?

I'm gonna go.

See you then.

Okay, bye.

Tootle-ooo.

(clapping)

You are very quiet,

penny for your thoughts?

(sighs)

I hired a Nose today.

Really?

That's great!

Who?

His name is Dec.

And he's

a Botanist.

You're kidding.

No, I'm not.

Well, you need a

Master Perfumer.

Oh I know.

A master can smell up to, you

know, 3,000 different smells,

but our applicants

today couldn't smell

Roquefort cheese

on a hot day.

So you hire

a Gardener?

A Botanist, yeah.

What's his

experience?

Well he has the most

natural sense of smell

I've seen

since my dad.

Yeah, that doesn't exactly

qualify him for the job.

I really wish you'd consult me

on these things Violet, really.

I know, but I just

didn't feel like

I had a whole

lot of options.

I mean, we searched

for the formula.

You know?

Look, I think

he can do it.

Okay.

Okay.

So what happens when

you finish SKY, huh?

What then?

Well then have to finish

the marketing campaign...

Something tells me you're

thinking more long term?

This was supposed

to be a short visit

to sort out your

father's estate.

Mm-hmm.

I wasn't going

to say anything,

but there's an

offer on the table.

What do

you mean?

To purchase

Chappel's.

Caine?

Listen, before you say no,

I've read over the offer.

It's a good offer.

I'm not selling

Chappel's.

Violet, I'm not

saying you should.

I'm not, but if you

can't meet the deadline...

Just think about it, think

about how it's gonna affect you.

And your staff, they're

gonna be looked after

and you can return to Boston

with a clear conscience.

I'm not selling Chappel's

to Caine, end of story.

Okay.

It's late.

Lets talk about

this another time.

Chappel has been in the perfume

business for over a 100 years,

and we're known for our

unique and complex blends.

Oh Raymond!

This is Dec,

Dec, Raymond.

Raymond, Dec.

Raymond is

our head chemist.

He's working on our

current best seller, SEA.

Pleased to

meet you.

You too.

See you

in a bit.

We're gonna

head this way.

This is Kimmy, you've met,

our office administrator.

And through these

doors is our laboratory!

We make

perfume here.

Perfume is twenty

percent concentrated oils,

the rest is

water and alcohol!

Can you

drink it?

No, no, no.

It's 190 proof.

Oh.

Yeah.

Did you know that it takes

thousands and thousands of roses

just to make two

cups of rose oil.

Well, I would rather

have one living rose.

But, okay.

This is going to be

your workstation.

We'll, you know, clean it up and

get you settled in here soon.

If you want to

follow me this way...

Through that door is

where the vats are,

and the vats

hold the perfume

until we can bottle them

up and ship them out.

So if you want to follow

me in, I'll show you.

Okay, so a perfume has

three layers of fragrances.

The Head, the

Heart and the Ground.

Now, the Head note, it's

unstable and it dissipates...

Are you

chewing gum?

No...

No, no.

Okay.

Just spit it out.

Yeah, that's-- it interferes

with your sense of smell.

Lovely.

It doesn't--

sorry, hold on.

Hey Kimmy.

Yes, yes I will

be right there.

(sigh)

(coughs)

Yeah, let me

reiterate this Olivia.

Violet's

not available

and she's never gonna

sell Chappel's to you.

Okay?

Sorry about that-- oh.

Um...

There you are.

Hey!

Hey.

This is such

a beautiful spot.

Yeah, it's been in

my family for years.

Just no one ever knew

what to do with it.

Do you want

a Nut Bar?

No, I'm all

nuttered out, thanks.

What are

you drawing?

Just some ideas.

Wow.

How did you

end up here?

I just came down the

path from the gate...

No, how did you

end up in Bruges?

It's a long,

boring story.

Were you

always a Botanist?

Nope.

No?

Nope.

What were

you before?

(laughing)

I was a stock

trader in New York.

Really?

Yeah.

No way.

Yeah.

Pressed suits.

Pot of coffee

for breakfast.

A granola

bar for lunch.

Kinda like your Nut Bars,

but not nearly as delightful.

One day I just

gave it all up.

I started travelling through

Europe for four months,

and spent the last three

years here in Belgium.

Wow.

Um-hmm.

Do you ever miss

your previous life?

No,...

No, I really

love what I do.
