Love Blossoms Page #5

Everybody thinks

that I'm crazy.

But I can't.

Not to a fake

like Caine.

She's everything

my Father wasn't.

Wait, Caine?

Olivia Caine is this woman who

has made millions of dollars

copying other

peoples' perfumes.

But she's never been

able to copy my Father's

because his blends

are too complex.

Now she's begging

to buy us out.

Well, maybe you should

take her up on her offer.

Think of all the Nut

Bars you could buy.

(laughing)

Truck loads.

So try

these three...

(phone ringing)

Is that

Harv again?

Yeah, he's

relentless.

Kind of sounds like

somebody else I know.

Very funny.

Okay, missing scent?

I don't know, I've been

doing this over and over.

Umm...

Okay, do you think

it's something spicy?

Maybe it's more

of a soft smell?

Or sharp-edged,

herbaceous warm?

Maybe our

balance is off.

How much Vetiver did

you say there is?

A splatter?

Scientific

precision please.

A Geiger...?

A Geiger?

Yeah, it's definitely

a Geiger, you know,

the thing that's used for

measuring ionizing radiation.

(laughing)

Sounded pretty

scientific to me.

(heavy sigh)

It's just all starting

to smell the same.

Oh, here!

Smell this.

What is that?

It's a wool sock, it helps

reset your olfactories.

So sniffing a sock is supposed

to make me smell better?

Yeah, sniffing

Raymond's sock.

Just try it.

That's nice, things

are progressing, I see.

Actually no, we're

kind of stuck right now.

Is that what

you call it?

Okay, well I'll let

you two get on with

whatever it

is you're doing.

Voil, thank you.

You okay?

(Dec yawns)

Yeah, I'm fine.

No, you're not.

Neither are you.

We're spending twenty

hours a day in here

on nothing but

candy and catnaps,

we need some food.

I forgot, let's

go take a break.

Let's hit up

the snack bar.

Violet, come on.

You sit in the same chair,

looking at the same view,

day in, day out.

Monday you have a nutbar,

Tuesdays you have a nutbar--

oh look, it's

three o'clock,

let's head to the snack

bar and get more Nuts!

If I smell one

more Test Strip,

I'm literally gonna

lose my mind.

All right, we need

to get out of here.

No look, I can't, I have Harv's

deadline hanging over my head.

Violet, don't

worry about Harv.

Just come with

me, trust me.

Please.

Come on!

I have to finish

mixing that though!

Pastry, how

about this guy?

Get one, yeah.

All right, I'll

get one too.

Merci.

That must have been good,

you scarfed that down.

What was

in yours?

Let me see, the

Head note is pastry.

The Ground note

is cream cheese.

And the Heart note is

lots and lots of butter.

I applaud your effort but

your analogy was all off.

The Ground note

would be butter.

It makes up the

biggest proportion.

And here I thought I was

making progress, Professor.

Slow learner.

So why were you raised in

the US if your Dad is Belgian?

My mom's American and they

divorced when I was young,

so we moved back.

But I spent every

summer here in Bruges.

You know that's the first

thing I've seen you eat

that isn't

shrink-wrapped.

Now you sound

like Stefan.

Oh great.

And how do you like

living in Bruges?

I'm just here until

we get Sky launched

and then

it's back home.

Why, what's there that

you don't have here?

Well, my mom, my

friends, my life.

Oh, all that stuff.

I also have a research contract

with a pharmaceutical company.

Really?

You never cease

to impress.

Come on.

No, I'm serious.

I mean, you're smart,

you're kinda funny.

Oh really?

Yeah, you're accomplished,

yet you're willing to risk

your dreams to keep

your father's alive.

That's great, most people

won't sacrifice for others.

Anyone would do the

same if it's my dad.

That is not

true, trust me.

We should probably

head back to the lab.

Yeah, you know actually

I've got something

I want you

to see first.

I think you might

find it inspiring.

Yeah?

Yeah.

What do you

say, yeah?

Yeah.

All right,

come on.

Stefan:
Where

is Violet?

I don't know, did

you try her cell?

Yes, it's just going

to her voice mail.

She didn't tell you

where she was going?

No.

Almost there.

Wow.

This is

breathtaking.

I mean, it's like you

can smell the colors!

Yeah, it's

the blue hour.

It's the time when the

flowers smell their strongest.

Of course...

L'heure bleue.

(laughs)

See all

these?

The Peonies, the Moon flowers,

that Lily of the Valley.

I seeded

all those.

So where

are we?

This is the

Cultivation Garden,

this is where everything's

seeded and transplanted.

It's like all

the colors

and all the scents

that Nature gifted us,

all squeezed into

one little spot.

It's heaven

on earth.

Nature's perfume.

Exactly.

My father

would have...

he would have

loved it here...

You know, all he

ever wanted was

just for me to

come and visit.

It had been ages

since I'd seen him.

I just kept putting it off

because of life and work

and, you know,

I'd tell him,

I'll come next week,

and maybe next week and...

God, I'd

give anything

just to have one

minute with him again.

I wish he'd just give

me a sign he was near.

In life we

don't always get

clean endings

and nice good-byes.

You're lucky, you

have good memories.

Even if though your father's not

actually here, he's always near.

You know, one of these days

he well send you that sign,

and when he does,

you'll know it.

(sprinklers turn on suddenly)

We can't.

Sorry.

(sighs)

Violet, Harv Willard here--

Violet, Harv Willard

here, calling you again--

There you are!

Hi.

Where have

you been?

I stepped outside

for a breather.

Yeah?

I've been

texting, calling.

I know, I left my

phone here, I'm sorry.

You know what?

It's been a while since we've

been to diner, you and I.

You want to

get out of here?

Honestly, I can't.

I'm swamped and now I

need to play catch-up.

I mean I'm breathing

and sleeping

and dreaming Harv Willard,

so I just need to...

Okay.

All the more reason for

you to get out of here.

I'm not gonna take

no for an answer.

Okay.

Okay?

Yeah, just let

me turn off...

Okay, yeah.

Raining?

Yeah, I got

caught in the rain.

I miss this.

I miss you.

Um-hmm.

Oh look, they have your

favorite, the Chateaubriand.

I wonder if it's as good as

the place back in Boston.

You know, the

bistro that we go to

around the corner from

the theater district?

What's it

called again?

Stefan?

Hmmm?

Hi?

Hi, you just

order what you want.

This night's

all about you.

(electronic clicking

from Stefan's phone)

Oh!!

How was

yesterday?

What do

you mean?

Your day, dinner

with Stefan?

Oh, it

was fine...

The day was-- the

day was fine, yeah.

Dinner was fine.

Everything was fine.

Okay, dish.

What's going on?

What do you mean?

Well, you just said

fine four times.

Oh I did?

Um-hmm.

Huh.

Morning.

Uh, morning.

Hmmm...

What?

Oh, nothing.

Everything's...

Fine.

Um-hmm.

Sorry, I

just need to...

My nephew would be

perfect for you, Kimmy.

He's smart, he's an accountant,
