Hi. May I help you?
Yeah. Um. You see, I need some flowers for my wife, and uh, and, you know, I ...
Let ... Let me guess. You forget your anniversary, and you're trying to make things up, right?
Oh. Yeah, is it that obvious?
Well, yeah. We see men like you all the time that are so involved in their work that they simply forget about us.
Well, in, in ... in this case, it's not like that.
Sure. What do you need?
Well, uh, I'd like to get a dozen roses with some greenery, and a very nice card.
Do you really think a dozen roses is going to cut it?
Well, yeah ...
I mean, if my husband forgot our anniversary, he'd be in the doghouse for sure. [Well ...] You need at least two dozen roses, a dozen balloons, and a romantic evening at an expensive restaurant.
Well, I only have $10, and ...
Ten dollars? Well, that will buy you a single rose and a hamburger at McDonalds, but that's it.
Uh, wait. I actually have twelve dollars and ... wait, hang on, let me see here ... thirty-two cents, so that might be ...
Forget playing golf this weekend. Your wife is way more important.
Oh, no. OH, NO! My wife is out in the parking lot looking for me. Oh. And, and ... she's looking this way. PLEASE, PLEASE. Help me! She'll wring my neck for sure.
Okay, Okay. Uh, let's see. Hum. [PLEASE, PLEASE!]. Well, well, it looks like I can arrange a small bouquet of roses. [Okay.] A couple are a little wilted [Oh, that's okay.], but that's the best I can do. [Oh, yes. Oh, yes. That's fine.] And I can also attach a small card and tie a nice ribbon around the flowers.
Oh, that would be great. You're a lifesaver. I'll put you on my Christmas card list forever.
Okay. Okay. That'll be twelve dollars even.
You're an angel. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, no. [What?] Now, she's parked in front of your store waiting for me. I'm dead meat. Do you have a back door?
No! It looks like you need to face the music and just talk to her. [I can't, I can't.] She'll probably be very understanding after you promise ... [You don't know my wife.] Well, you need to promise to wash the dishes and clean the bathroom for the next six months. Get out there and be a man.
Could you call an ambulance ... just in case? This could get ugly.
