Love Blossoms Page #6

very good with kids--

What kind of car

does he drive?

He can cook.

He's very handy

around the house.

I think I'm good

being single for now.

You know

Olivia Caine?

What?

Why didn't

you tell me?

She gave me a ride the

day my bike broke down,

it's not a big deal.

It's a pretty

big deal.

It was

just a ride.

I told you

about Olivia.

Look, ours is a

cut-throat industry.

It's not just pretty

bottles and perfume.

What did you tell

her about SKY?

Does she know we

don't have the formula?

What was

she wearing?

What?

She's got

great style.

Look, Olivia's the one who's

been spreading rumors to Harv.

Did you think about that

before you got in her car?

Hold up, all right?

Let me get

this straight,

this is how you treat the member

of your "big, happy family"?

I've got

work to do.

Watch your back

with that one.

I just asked what

she was wearing, so...

I've known you for years,

you never get sick.

I'm breathing recycled air

24/7 with the perfume police.

What do you expect?

Boss Lady giving

you a hard time?

Violet with her

Super-sanitized boyfriend,

with his manicured this

and tailored that.

Everything's...

(coughing)

Perfect?

Maybe if you call buffed

nails and pocket squares

in your overly designed suits

perfect, then yeah I guess.

Brother, you

are a goner.

(phone ringing)

Hey.

Dec is what?!

So it is true, umm, I guess

you really are really sick.

Yeah, how's

your nose?

Nice to see

you, too.

Look, I'm sick,

I'm sorry, okay?

I couldn't smell a

skunk right now.

Don't even worry about

it, I'm here to fix it.

So if you just take an

antihistamine now,

an anti-inflammatory

in two hours--

Already took vitamin

C and Echinacea--

That's great, so you'll

start feeling better

in like

two months...

Really?

Is that all I am to you,

a facial appendage?

No.

I'm sorry, it's just the

stress of the deadline

and we were

finally making--

(sneezes loudly

and coughs)

-- progress.

I'm sorry.

No, it's okay.

Sorry.

But if I wasn't

working 20 hours a day

in that cave

you call a lab,

I'd probably have a

functioning immune system.

I know.

You know what, we're in

this together, all right?

So you just

get some--

some rest and I will

go hold down the fort.

And I'll check

in with you later.

And maybe think about

taking medicine please?

Okay.

Mr. Brophy?

Yeah?

I'd like some information on

one of your former employees,

Stefan Granger.

Wish I could help

but that's confidential.

Maybe I should

speak with your Boss.

(rings buzzer)

(rings buzzer again)

May I come in?

Uh...

Nice place.

So lush

and so green.

So why didn't you tell

me you copy perfumes?

Well, hardly criminal.

Why didn't you tell

me you're a Botanist?

Irrelevant.

Soup?

You know, my family

owns a huge estate.

One that requires a full

time Landscape Artist.

I hear you're

very skilled.

(laughs nervously)

I can make

it happen.

All I need from you is

one tiny little formula.

Think about it.

You'll never have to

work in a lab again.

So, what did

you put in this?

Oh you know, a little of

this, a little of that.

What kind of

soup is it?

Chicken?

It's minestrone.

Yeah, I was standing at the

balcony, I saw Violet leaving.

(coughs)

Don't be a fool, Dec.

Violet is

just using you

and once she gets

what she wants,

you'll be

yesterday's news.

She has no real need

for your skills.

But I do.

Feel better.

I'm not crazy about the

color scheme on this one,

but I do like the

bottle as an option.

Maybe they could show

me a few different ones

in case we want

to use that one...

Stefan:
I'll see you

soon, have a good flight!

Kimmy, pull

the job posting!

I have got you the best

Perfumer in the business!

What are you

talking about?

Carrie Steilman.

Chanel's Carrie

Steilman!?

Yes, her and her husband

want to relocate from Paris.

Isn't this marvelous?

What's the matter?

I thought you'd

be thrilled.

What about Dec?

What about him?

You didn't

even ask me.

This isn't how Chappel

treats its employees.

Okay, well give the

gardener a severance pay?

He'll be fine.

You worry too much.

Dec!

Hi!

Hey!

I was just coming

to see you.

Actually, how are you--

how are you feeling?

I feel much

better, yeah.

Thanks.

Kimmy told me

you were here.

I wanted to come by and

say thanks for the soup.

Of course.

You know, actually,

now that you're here,

I would really love

to talk to you about...

What is that?

What?

Where are

you going?

That's it.

That's what I've

been smelling in SKY.

What?

This?

Yeah.

This is a rare tree my

father had imported,

it's called

"Herb of Apple."

We tried apple

essence, though.

You said

it didn't work.

It's this

particular scent.

The missing note is a

scent above the Head note.

Like a-- I don't know,

like a halo note.

Is that possible?

Of course.

I mean, of course.

My father developed

this secret technique

that only he

would use

where he would evoke

the emotion of a place.

For LAND, we

used French moss.

For SEA, he

used real sea kelp.

He had to have

done it for SKY!

SKY smells like the

air around this tree.

Of course!!

Let's get

to the lab.

Don't worry,

we'll get this.

I'm not gonna

leave 'til we does.

I told you Nut Bars

were addictive.

That's not what

I'm addicted to.

Moment of truth.

Let's have it.

(disappointed sigh)

Seriously??

We did it.

What??

Yeah.

Seriously?!

What great news!!

Oh my god,

you did it!

No, we did it!

Oh my...

Hey, we did it,

we just made SKY.

Oh well isn't

that wonderful.

This is

Carrie Steilman.

So good to meet

you, Ms. Chappel.

I'm a huge fan of

your father's work.

What?

Hi.

I'm Carrie, the

new Perfumer.

Perfumer?

And this is

Dec and he--

I'm just

leaving, actually.

No, Dec!

Listen, it's not--

Please, I can explain.

No need to

explain, have fun.

Bye.

Stefan said that you need

me to start immediately.

I can begin working

this afternoon.

I'm sorry, you're going

to have to excuse me.

Violet!

I'm sorry Carrie, let's

go over the contract

and I'll show

you around, okay?

Hi handsome!

How's the

sniffles?

Look, I know what you want,

it's not gonna happen.

Oh, everyone

has a price.

She's using you

and you know it.

You're a fill-in,

no experience

or even apprenticeship

as a Master Perfumer.

Sooner or later,

Violet won't need you.

Face it, Dec, to them, you

will always be a Botanist.

Come work for me.

And you will never feel

like an outsider again.

You won't regret it.

What are

you doing?

I am filling out the

paperwork for Carrie,

and I am

terminating Dec.

Okay, well

you can stop.

What?

Stop.

(Stefan sighs)

When Chappel's gets a real

Perfumist, the Gardener--

I'm sorry, the

Botanist, he goes.

I thought that's

what you wanted?

No, that's not

what I wanted.

Look, this isn't

right, Stefan.

We already have

a perfumist.

Dec's the one who helped

me figure out the formula.

Okay, he's

our perfumer.
