Love Happens Page #7

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.

Let's put

our hands together.

Ready? Here we go.

Step, step, step, step.

Okay? Come on, Natalie.

The only thing separating

you and me is in your head.

Come on. You can do this. Come on.

Okay. Walter?

Come on, Walter!

Come on, Walter!

Here we go!

Come on, Walter!

Here we go.

Come on, Walter!

Come on!

Walter.

It's okay. It's okay.

I'm sorry.

This is just silly.

I'm not gonna

feel A-Okay

because I walked

across some damn coals.

Okay, then it shouldn't be

that big of a deal, Walter.

It's not a big deal.

It's just...

It's a step.

It's an important step.

Well, it has nothing

to do with my Stephen.

Walter, would Stephen

want you like this?

Or would he want you to move

on, to take a step forward?

You don't know

anything about my son.

Walter, watch.

Walter, come on.

Come on, Walter.

You can do this.

Come on.

Walter!

Okay. All right,

we all go at our own pace.

He'll get there.

All right, well, let's give

ourselves a round of applause

For daring to kick fear

right where it hurts.

Buddy, this stuff

is gonna hurt.

How many layers of skin

do you think you have?

Not enough.

You know, you can't

do the work for them.

You know that, right?

The guy needs help.

Fine, but you can't

do it for them.

This is gonna

sting a little bit.

Ready?

Count of three.

One.

Lane! You're fired!

Once you sign with us, you're no

longer an independent contractor.

You've got all 32 divisions

funneling your image 24-7.

Within a year, we'll increase your

household name recognition by 65%.

The Burke Ryan Show will subsequently

launch in the third quarter.

Followed by the DVD

line, a new set of books,

syndicated

talk radio, et cetera.

"Et cetera" is good.

All of this lays the foundation

for a branding strategy

that taps into demographics

well beyond your current base.

Studies indicate that persons

grieving the loss of a loved one

put on 30 to 40% more weight

than the national average.

Introducing the Burke Ryan

Calorie Reduction Plan.

"Finally, a loss you

can feel good about."

Ooh.

Look at that.

I like that picture.

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.
