Hey! Hello!
Hey.
What is this?
Sorry, I didn't want to bother you.
Are you billing me? I paid you cash.
No, no, wait. The idea is for you to read that without me here.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold it. Stay right there.
What does this mean?
A poem? I mean not the meaning of the poem, but why a poem?
Small token.
Of what?
Friendship.
That you give all your clients?
The flower that you give all your clients?
So you don't hit on all your clients?
I'm not hitting on you.
I'd like to get to know you better.
The plan was not to be here when you read it,
so you can have your own space and time to consider it.
Consider what?
Spending time together.
I don't even know you, except that you did some work on my apartment.
You know my name and where I live, alone with my kid.
And now you're dropping off gifts and scurrying away like a thief.
That's creepy with a capital K.
Okay, I'm not a creep.
You said that last time and yet here you are, stalking.
I'm not a stalker!
No! You're a lover, you come into people's homes, and you make friends with the lonely wives.
And then you separate them from their *** with flowers and poems.
Chocolate works really well too, I bet. Right? On the fatties.
Look, I've never once been involved with a client.
Okay, I'm not a predator, okay? I'm a serious person.
I'm law-abiding, hard-working, Christian, family-oriented.
I'm sober. And I don't mean that I'm a sober alcoholic, I mean that I like to make sober choices.
I'm coming across like a real big bull right now, but I'm not.
Look, I'm a great dancer.
Okay, I'm sorry if I jumped to conclusions.
We know nothing about each other.
No, but we could.
You were here for a half an hour the other day and we barely spoke.
You don't know anything about me. I could be the freak for all you know.
What's there to go on?
Instinct.
And, um, the attraction, to be frank.
What's this from?
I wrote it.
Recently?
You mean if I wrote it for you? No.
But I also didn't write for any other girl.
Oh, that's good.
Roy.
Roy.
Thank you for this. Really. It's really nice.
The flowers are beautiful.
Yeah, my brother grows them.
Wow, he's good.
Yeah it runs in the family. The green thumb.
Perhaps you're unavailable. Generally
I'm single.
So am I.
Okay.
Look my number's on the card, my personal cell.
So if you don't call me then I won't bother you anymore.
Sounds good.
Uh hmm.
You ever solved that mystery.
Of what was stuck in there?
Yeah it was my son and his friend horsing around.
At least they got protection, right?
You have kids?
No. not yet
You ever been married?
I got left at the altar once. Does that count?
Wow, literally at the altar?
Yeah, with three-hundred guest sitting in pews.
And many filling in from back east and Mexico.
Ouch.
Hey! This date is going pretty well.
Maybe we should have another?
Get out of here.
Okay.
I got it.
