Love Happens Page #4

Wow. Are you kidding me?

You look strong,

you look happy and...

Right.

It's a mock-up at this point.

Anyway, continuing on...

Hey, that was great.

Don't forget,

when Mr. Vernon

gets into town...

Hey, I gotta take them

down to the museum

and show them

around like an idiot...

Did that beep? Hey,

Burke. It's me, Eloise.

So, where are we going?

It's all good.

You'll see.

Okay, I will be right back.

Is this...

Is this your house?

No, it's my mom's.

I'm just gonna

go grab something.

I mean, you're more

than welcome to come in.

Okay.

H i, Mom.

Oh. H i, honey.

Bob left the keys

on the counter.

Oh, great.

Great. How was your day?

Oh, fine. I had

lots of coupons.

Oh, really?

So, that was busy, huh?

Mmm-hmm.

H i. I brought you flowers.

Oh. Those are

so pretty. Thanks.

Mom, I'd like you

to meet a friend of mine.

I wasn't expecting company.

H i. I'm Burke.

Burke Ryan!

Ellie, you didn't tell me

you were dating a celebrity.

Well, we're not dating.

I wish you would have told me.

I look like hell.

Not at all.

It's just the opposite.

I see where Eloise

gets her looks.

Let's show him

your pictures.

You know,

no, I don't think so...

I'd love to.

No, really.

You know... Okay,

I'm gonna get the keys.

My word, you have

Pocahontas here.

Eloise was state archery

champion two years in a row.

No.

Oh, Mother.

Don't be modest.

This is Burke Ryan.

I loved you

on The Today Show.

Now how old is she here?

Okay. I got those keys,

so thank you for that.

We gotta go. Look how cute you are here.

A- Okay.

A- Okay.

It was very nice meeting

you. N ice to meet you.

Hope to see you again.

Yeah. Take care. Bye-bye.

I am so glad you're not

dating that musician.

Mother. Oh, God.

I love you.

Thanks. Thank Bob.

Burke Ryan.

Oh, my God!

Wow.

She's so sweet.

She loves you.

I really enjoyed that.

It was very sweet.

Oh, Mom. No, no, no.

This way. Come on.

Where are we going?

It's fun not knowing,

isn't it?

Ah.

You'll see.

What, are you trying

to avoid the FBI?

You'll see. Please,

just get in the truck.

I think I forgot

my hard hat.

Oh, really?

Well, here you go.

What you doing?

Your chariot awaits.

Seriously?

Me, in bucket?

Yes. Trust me.

Have you had any

cold medicine today?

Not today.

We're good.

Okay, now watch this.

Very dangerous. Fingers. U h-huh.

Lock us in. Got it?

Do you know what you're doing? U h-huh.

Ready?

Oh, Lord.

Are we in? Buckled?

Locked? Loaded?

Okay.

All right, here lies

Burke Ryan, dead...

Oh, stop it. I had a crash

course this morning from Bob.

Who is Bob, and why is

my life in his hands?

Bob's my mom's neighbor.

Current boyfriend

of the moment.

Mmm-hmm.

Okay. Here's

what I was thinking.

I wanted to pick up

from last night.

And I wanted to get you

tickets to Rogue Wave,

but they've been

sold out for weeks.

So, I figured where there

is a will, there is a way.

Heaven is a switchboard

that you meant to fight

She would D even miss you

if you taught her sight

Power politician

leaning to the right

Baby's got a trust fund that

she'll meant to go off like that

Get off my stack

Leave a little window

Get off of my stack

Now we wear

same-colored yellow uniforms

Sky is burning

but at least we're warm

If I had a nickel for

every time I saw a concert

from a telephone truck,

I'd be...

Thank you.

It was exquisite.

Don't thank me.

Thank Bob.

Thank you, Bob.

Hey, I got your book.

I'm halfway through it.

Really?

Well, wait till you get

to the recipe chapters.

They're top-notch.

I'm sorry

about your wife.

How come you didn't tell me

that's what happened?

I don't know.

Never came up.

Well, it sounded like

you really loved her.

Yeah, I did.

But that was

a long time ago.

Three years?

Twenty-one in dog years.

I had a really,

really great time.

Me, too.

That was really fun.

What?

I'm waiting to watch you strut

back to your bitchin' rig.

All right.

Bye.

Is that the international

song for "got laid"?

No! Hardly.

Come on, throw me a bone.

What happened last night?

It was fun.

So, are you going

to see him again?

I don't know. Maybe.

May I just point out that you

broke up with Tyler 72 hours ago

and now you're dating

some other guy

who's not even gonna be

in town for 72 hours?

Can I just point that out?

Okay, we're...

We're not dating.

We just met and,

you know, I like him.

We're just hanging out.

Well, just be careful.

Men are hairy.

Thank you for that.

Two minutes.

Give him two minutes.

He gets called away

for emergencies, you know.

"Her freckles frame eyes

the color of mermaid's tears

"Her ears like waking up to

the sound of children at play"

"My first five senses are reeling

like an old-school cassette tape

"rewound and played

electric relaxation all day"

"You and your phallus

may run this world

"But this Amazon b*tch

will cut you down to size!"

Thank you.

That was slamming.

Thank you. I tried to mix

up the iambic pentameter

with a little

haiku motif.

Kick-ass, Mart. Drink?

Yeah, all around, on me.

And can we have more of the

Istanbul Black Demon shisha, please?

Black Demon?

Thank you. So wicked.

Want to try it?

Go ahead, try it.

Okay.

"Try me."

Sure.

Sh*t. Excuse me for

one second, will you?

Who is that man?

I beg you, please

make sense of this.

I'm just enjoying

a little local flavor.

Since when do you

enjoy anything?

How did you even find me?

I'm Lane goddamn Marshall,

okay?

You asked directions

from your concierge.

What is going on here?

We're on the verge of the

deal of the century here

and you're off playing

Prince of Persia.

Drinks, gentlemen?

No. Get out of here.

Hey, Lane.

No, thank you.

Will you calm down?

I will not calm down.

Their CEO is coming

in two days.

Do you have any idea

the blood, sweat and tears

it's taken me to put

this thing together?

You know, U nicom didn't even

know your name six months ago.

I know and I appreciate it.

No, you don't.

Yes, I do.

No, you don't!

Lane.

Friend to friend,

do you not want this?

You can tell me.

Look, I'm ready.

Okay?

So, for the next two days,

you're gonna be

where I tell you to be

when I tell you to be there?

Yes. Scout's honor.

You with the scouting.

Oh, God.

Will you relax? You're

gonna have a heart attack.

I had a heart attack. I had four

heart attacks on the way here.

So, who are these fine folks

that you're consorting with?

J just people I've met.

Yeah?

Her name's Eloise.

Well, what hath struck

the earth? Details.

She's...

Yeah?

That's great.

Yeah.

That's great.

So, I'm gonna get back.

Yeah, we'd better.

All right, yo, a pleasure to meet

you guys. Welcome to the rainy city.

Should I belly dance?

It's tragic.

They were so young.

It's just so sad.

I know.

I don't know how you deal

with all that death every day.

Well, I have to deal

with it no matter what.

I think that funerals are

archaic and a waste of money.

Actually, funerals are an important
