Love Happens Page #6

Really bad.

Well, I have to go pick

some phalangiums right now.

Would you like to

come with me?

Yeah.

Good.

Personally, I like to put the

waffles and bacon in first.

I'm increasing

the pH level.

Hey. You do your thing.

I'm still trying to wrap my

head around what your thing is.

You're just gonna

have to read my book.

You're slippery.

I prefer "mysterious."

How long you

been at this?

Oh, I've always

wanted to do it.

I finally got up the guts a couple

of years ago to open my own shop.

Good for you.

"Julie, we have

never met..."

No. Hey!

Wow. Nosy.

I'm sorry.

Sorry. I don't mean to...

But these are just...

They're from deliveries.

They're copies I've made

of cards that have,

you know, stuck with me.

So...

Can I...

Really? Would you... Yeah. I'd like to.

Okay.

"Julie, we have never met,

"but I've watched you

lovingly all these years.

"Congratulations

and have a beautiful wedding.

"Love, your father."

May I?

U m...

Let's see.

"Stacy, these are supposed

to last two weeks.

"I'll be back in time

to see them bloom."

Yeah, deployed Marine.

He never saw them bloom.

One last one.

"My dearest wife,

happy 50th anniversary.

"Sorry about

the rug burns last night."

Thanks for the visual.

Life on a 3-by-5.

Okay, well, I mean, if

this is the candle of truth,

then I guess

I should be honest.

I... I used her

life insurance money

for a down payment

on a condo in Mexico.

Well, because we had talked about

it before. He liked the idea.

So, I... I made

a mold of his, you know...

That way, when he was gone,

we could still, you know...

Who's next?

Walter?

Not much to say, really.

Walter, there's always something

to say. Come on, tell us.

How did your son die?

I used to be a contractor. He

was my little right-hand man.

Only 12, but he could frame a

garden shed better than I could.

We stopped by my

construction site.

I had to pick up some

blueprints from my trailer.

I told him to

wait in the car.

He fell off a scaffold and

snapped his spinal cord in two.

J just like...

J just like that.

And every day...

Every day is...

I should've known he

wouldn't stay in the car.

Walter, you said,

"I used to be a contractor."

I can't even walk

into a hardware store.

I clean buildings

at night now.

And I lost my business.

My wife left me.

Thank you, Walter.

There's a dirty little

secret. It's fear.

How many here

don't fly anymore?

Come on, raise your hands.

Who here gets an annual

checkup three times a year?

How many of you

don't take elevators

or gave up skiing, biking, surfing,

kayaking, whatever it might be?

Well, listen to me.

Fear is a state of mind.

We're gonna prove

that right now.
