Yes, I Do Page #3

---

Great to see you.

Charlotte, this is...

Nicole, yeah.

Yeah. I'm aware of that.

I just introduced her to you.

Yeah, no, um...

that Nicole.

That Nicole?

I know...

it's crazy, right?

Yeah...

I had no idea

you were the lady

from the magazine, right?

That's me.

I rebranded it

as Chocolate Monthly,

and everything

just fell into place

after... you and I broke up.

Yeah.

Well, it's great to see you.

Absolutely delightful.

I have some phone calls to make.

We have

a lot to talk about, Charlotte.

Jimmy,

we do, too.

I'm staying

at the Starboard Inn.

Tootles.

Tootles!

Jimmy?

Yeah.

Small world, huh?

Tiny.

The same Nicole Sweeney,

one of the world's most

renowned chocolate connoisseurs?

That's the Nicole

he was dating before you?

I only knew

her as Nicole.

Wow, for someone

who doesn't like chocolate,

he sure can pick 'em,

can't he?

It's like God

laughing at me

for leaving him

at the altar...

twice.

And she has no idea

about the two of you?

No, and I don't

want to tell her.

Why not?

Because it'll complicate

the competition.

Besides, you know

how some women can be.

She'll see me as the one

who stole James's heart.

You mean,

broke his heart?

I mean, if

she finds out

and thinks I'm some

terrible person,

then what is she

supposed to think

about my "fantastic

creations"?

I mean, you've seen her.

She's gorgeous...

which is so

confusing to me

because James

always described her

as being

so... plain.

Men always say that

about ex-girlfriends.

Doesn't mean anything.

Okay, so what?

She's his ex.

It was, what, like,

five years ago?

He's in love with you.

[breathing heavily]

No, I'm good.

I don't get it.

I could walk through

a whole poppy field in Oz,

but wedding flowers...

[sneezing]

Mind over matter.

Mind over matter.

Yes.

[Nicole]:

Hello? Jimmy?

So out of all of the

chocolate factories

in all of the world...

Yeah.

You really didn't know

I live around here, huh?

Not at all.

I've never been.

I've never met Charlotte either.

She seems

like a sweet girl.

Yeah, yeah,

very.

Look at you.

Your business has really...

taken off.

Right.

But you're still doing

odd jobs

like fixing delivery trucks?

Yeah, you know,

I just...

I like to help out

where I can.

How loyal.

Heh.

So how have you been?

Great.

Like I said, the magazine

is going really well.

Good.

That's good.

Uh, small talk

is just so awkward, isn't it?

We have so much

to get caught up on.

I thought you were engaged

a couple of years ago.

Uh...

I was.

Uh, am, or...

I was.

You were, or you are?

I was.

So, single then?

You know, it's complicated.

I like complicated.

Ha...

Let's grab dinner.

Yeah, that would be

complicated, too.

Come on,

what are the chances

of us running into each other

like this?

It's fate.

I feel like I'm giving

up all my secrets here,

but...

I've missed you, James.

We haven't seen each other

in five years, Nicole.

All the more reason.

Look, I just...

I can't right now.

I'm swamped

with everything, and...

it's great to see you.

So then coffee, tomorrow.

Yeah, okay.

Sure. Coffee.

Great.

There's no such thing as

being allergic to weddings.

You haven't seen it.

I have a garden.

I grow flowers.

Flowers decorate

my office,

but wedding flowers?

I can't stop

itching.

Dress materials,

pollen

in certain flowers,

food allergens

in a cake, maybe,

but weddings, no.

The only thing

you're allergic to

is chocolate.

Yeah, and isn't that

a cruel joke?

[Nicole]:
You know,

when I first read the article

about your chocolate

and how it was

sweeping the area,

and how people

would drive hours

just to come

and have a taste,

that was only half

the story for me.

Your profile was

what impressed me,

the story behind the flavor...

this young, vibrant woman,

following

her passions,

with business smarts

that could rival

any CEO in the country...

but what hooks me

was your reason

for expanding,

so that more people

could experience

the joy of your creation.

Yeah, it's a bit hokey,

though, huh?

Mm-mm, no.

It's authentic.

So you really think

I have a chance?

My little factory

against

all the big chocolate giants

out there?

If your new flavor

lives up to your reputation,

you have a real shot.

Great, um...

fantastic!

I'll walk you out.

Could I ask your advice

on something else,

girl to girl?

Of course.

How well do you

know Jimmy?

James.

I mean, I know

he works for you,

but other than that.

Oh, I'd say

pretty well.

He just seems so...

unhappy.

He does?

Clearly, he's still jilted

by his ex-girlfriend,

or ex-fiance,

whatever she was.

I think he's

still engaged.

That's not what he said.

Oh, he didn't?

What did he say?

I went to his place

earlier today.

It's clear

he still has his walls up.

He didn't go into detail,

but a woman can tell,

especially as well

as I know him.

She must have been a very,

very manipulative woman.

Well, I heard that

she was very, very nice,

and that she loves...

loved him a lot.

Like, a lot, a lot.

What about you?

What do you mean?

He's attractive.

You're... cute.

I'm not butting in,

am I?

Butting in?

He doesn't know it yet,

but I intend

on winning him back,

and I thought, well,

maybe you could talk to him

and convince him

people change.

Oh, I knew we were going

to be friends.

If I thought I was stealing

your man,

I would be mortified.

Me too.

Yeah.

[door buzzing]

[door buzzing]

Good morning.

Yeah, it's, uh...

6:
30 in the morning.

Oh, is it?

Sorry.

I'm having some car trouble.

I brought coffee.

Oh.

Great.

So, what's wrong

with your car?

It's making

a strange noise.

Mm.

A strange noise.

What kind of noise?

I don't quite know

how to describe it.

Mm-hmm.

It's not really making

a noise at all, is it?

No.

Okay, I just

wanted to talk.

And it couldn't have waited?

No.

I have to ask

you something.

Well, okay,

ask away.

Nicole.

Is there still, like,

a thing between you two?

What?

No, I...

She thinks

there is.

I doubt it.

Why didn't you

tell her about us?

Look, I just...

I know how she can be,

and unfortunately,

it could jeopardize

your chances

of winning

the contest...

but look...

there is nothing

between the two of us.

You mean...

the two of you?

Yeah.

But obviously,

we should keep us

to ourselves, right?

Well, I mean,

that's up to you, okay?

but knowing Nicole,

yeah, that's probably

for the best.

Okay.

Okay?

Okay.

Now I'm going to go

get ready for the day.

Thank you for that.

Invites are

going out soon.

Everything's

moving forward.

I'll believe it

when I see it.

I'm counting on that.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Bye.

Okay, I'm practically

busting at the seams.

I've kept something

from you,

and I don't like

doing that.

I feel like you and I

should be 100% honest

with one another.

Agree?

Yeah, agree.

Look, there's something

that I...

You don't have

to be nervous.

It hasn't been

announced yet,
