The Perfect Man Page #4

No, him.

No, you didn't do that,

did you?

Well, how long

did you keep her waiting?

What? An hour?

Of course she's mad.

What? Hold on.

This is Holly.

Hi.

Hi, Holly.

Nice to meet you.

Why wouldn't she be mad?

Well, there's only one thing

you can do:
Flowers.

And you can't go cheap,

either. Nope.

A dozen, long-stemmed.

He knows about females.

He knows more about females

than I know about females.

In my opinion,

roses always work, always.

He doesn't actually

believe that, does he?

But who am I to know?

Call me tomorrow

and let me know

how it worked out. Bye.

Yes, I do believe that.

Don't you?

That flowers always work?

Yeah.

Not if the guy's a loser.

The flowers aren't going to

change anything.

Flowers are

just flowers, right?

Wow, your friend's

so cynical.

Sounds like

she's not into romance.

You know what?

This is for you.

Why?

Because a flower like this

is perfect.

And giving a woman

a dozen of them,

it's like saying...

there is such a thing

as perfect.

And it's out there.

Don't give up.

You'll find it.

Really?

A yellow rose says

all of that?

Actually a yellow rose

is for your sick grandma.

For a woman, a red rose.

But if you really want

to knock her socks off,

you give her an orchid.

Why? What do orchids say?

You ever seen an orchid?

How it floats in the water,

so delicate and beautiful?

When a woman gets an orchid...

well, she feels like...

she's floating on a cloud

of infinite possibility.

I swear I'll pay you back.

I still don't get how flowers

from you will fix things.

Well, they're not flowers,

they're orchids.

And they're not from me.

They're from her perfect man.

Then let him pay.

I would, if he existed.

I'm lost.

Do you remember

what your uncle said?

An orchid will make

my mom feel special.

Which will make her happy.

And not so desperate.

Which would make me happy,

and then everybody wins.

Holly?

What?

Are you sure

this is a good idea?

I'm sure.

A few flowers

never hurt anyone.

"Annoying mammal. "

Six letters.

Hey, Mom.

Badger.

Boy, am I thirsty.

Was that the buzzer?

Five letters for

"In line to get, maybe. "

Mom, wasn't that

the buzzer?

The Times thinks

they're so clever.

I've got to go take

a shower right now.

Hey.

Excuse me.

Hello, that's my flower.

No, it's not, it's mine.

Is your name Jean?

No, that's my girlfriend.

Okay, what's the card say?

It says,

"To my dearest girlfriend...

"on her birthday,

I love you so... "

Give me my flower back.

Could you be

any more crazy?

I was just

bringing them to you.

Wow! How beautiful.

Who are those for?

Me.

Isn't that weird,

someone left me flowers?

Who? What's the card say?
