Love Happens Page #3

Synopsis: Burke is a motivational speaker whose book about dealing with grief is a best seller. His wife died in a car accident three years ago. He's in Seattle to lead a week-long workshop on healing and to negotiate a major multi-media deal. But something's amiss: he's a closet drinker, he won't ride elevators, his moods swing, he's estranged from his wife's father, and he's very much alone. In a hotel hallway, he bumps into a woman arranging flowers, tries to chat with her, and gets the brush-off. She's Eloise, a local florist who's just broken up with a boyfriend. He's persistent and they eventually go to dinner - it goes badly. What's blocking Burke? Can the physician heal himself.

man. As good as new.

Make sure

he signs for it.

No problem.

Did you have company?

U m...

Yeah. I told you Frank and

I were working last night.

Frank wears lipstick?

Hey, listen. El, it's

not what you think.

It's business.

Totally platonic.

You know what? You

used that one last time.

No, she's got ties

to Sony. Hey!

Listen to me. You gotta

listen to me. Eloise!

I don't want to hear it.

How you

doing today?

Pretty good, thanks.

All right. Okay.

What's your name?

Alberto.

See you at workshop,

okay? Goodbye.

Mr. Ryan.

You are something.

Yes, sir.

Say, would you mind signing that

to "Donald and Shirley," please?

There you go.

Say, do you mind

if I share?

Share?

Yeah. See, there's

this fellow in his 60s

and he thinks he's just gonna, you

know, sail through his retirement.

But then one day, three

years and 13 days ago,

his daughter dies.

And the truth is he hasn't

been doing very well.

He doesn't sleep much,

and he and his wife, well...

You can understand.

But his daughter's husband,

well, he doesn't

seem to be having

any of these kinds

of problems. No.

She was crushed to death in

a car crash, but he, well...

He's making lemonade out of

lemons. Isn't that how it goes?

When are you gonna

stop lying, son?

Hypocrite.

Burke, I am so sorry.

God. The balls on him!

I'm fine.

Who does he think he is?

Her father.

Even so,

way over the line.

Forget that. You know

what? She'd be proud of you.

All right,

you're pissed off at me.

A thousand times you said no to

Seattle, but I wouldn't listen.

You gotta be

pissed off at me.

I'm fine.

Burke?

So, take a good look at them,

mister. A little preview of tonight.

I know how you love

the high heels.

I'll see you tonight at 8:00.

Standing ta!

Big kiss.

Love you.

"So, my ass don't

fit no Cosmo cover

"You think I can't be

some hot animal lover?

"You scared of my cerebral cortex?

That I'm Gloria's fish, chromosome X?

"Or maybe you're just afraid

of my battery-operated sex'

What do you think?

Hello.

There's something

wrong with that girl.

She said

she wanted to hear it.

Marty. Slam poetry,

coffee house.

My shop, work. Please.

Yes, ma'am.

Are there any

new receivables?

Just that birthday

arrangement I told you about.

Right. Great.

Marty, you did not

cauterize the stems.

Oh.

I was just about to.

You know what?

Here's what happens.

The sap pollutes the water and

then they die twice as fast.

I know, I know, I know, I

know. I'll get it. I promise.

I don't understand this. We

have roses, we have all of these.

I mean, come on. These are

flowers living out of water.

Are you all right?

Look, I just had a really... I've
