[MRS. KANG, spoken]
So, May, what do you do?
[MAY, spoken]
Well, I was just fi- freelancing! A freelance florist!
[MAY]
Part-time, year-round
Make the best bouquets in town
We’ve got lotus, lily and chrysanthemum
Taking a break right now
‘Cause school comes first, no doubt
I’ve been pursuing a degree in
Environmental engineering since it- it, um
Makes a lot of money!
[MRS. KANG, spoken]
Oh, engineering? [?] Your parents must be so proud. What do they think?
[MAY, spoken]
…Are these from Williams Sonoma?
[MAY]
Isn’t that funny?
We had [?] the same ones at home
[MRS. KANG]
Isn’t it pretty?
Best dinnerware I know
[MAY]
Absolutely
And they’re so durable!
[MRS. KANG]
I know
I’ve had this set for years
[MAY, MRS. KANG, OLIVER, & SOPHIE]
Mm-mm mm-mm
Mm-mm
[MRS. KANG, spoken]
Ah, so, how did you two meet?
[OLIVER, spoken]
Oh, uh, we actually met, um, at, uh… at May’s flower shop!
[SOPHIE, spoken]
Didn’t she say freelance?
[OLIVER]
It was my grocery turn for the house
But rain was pouring down that day
[SOPHIE, spoken]
Rain? In June? In L.A.?
[OLIVER, spoken]
Sophie, it’s called climate change!
[OLIVER]
Took cover at the nearest shop
[MAY]
He was like a…
Wet puppy when I saw him!
[OLIVER]
She offered me a dry towel
[OLIVER & MAY]
And soon found out we had a lot in common!
[OLIVER]
As we waited for subsiding showers
[MAY]
The two of us chatted for hours and hours
[OLIVER]
I ranted and ranted about the CFC
She taught me all about the honeybees
[MAY]
The population’s dying
It’s really sad
Since the climate crisis
Is getting really bad
[OLIVER, spoken]
I know, right?
[OLIVER & MAY]
It just makes me really mad!
[OLIVER]
Isn’t it sweet?
Isn’t it great?
When our eyes met
It just felt like fate
Isn’t this delicious? Try it!
Have a taste
[MAY, MRS. KANG, OLIVER, & SOPHIE]
Mm-mm mm-mm
[MRS. KANG]
[?] Another place
[SOPHIE, spoken]
This was two months ago? Oliver, it hasn’t rained since March
[OLIVER, spoken]
Alright, stop gaslighting me, Sophie!
[SOPHIE, spoken]
You don’t even know what that means
[OLIVER, spoken]
Yeah, yeah, what about you, Sophie? Any boys in your life?
[SOPHIE]
…Isn’t it warm?
Or is it just me?
There’s something in the air
Smelling fishy!
[OLIVER]
Isn’t it sweet?
Isn’t she great?
Isn’t life better now
With May?
[MAY, spoken]
That was delicious, Mrs. Kang
[MRS. KANG, spoken]
Thank you. I actually cut up some fruit for everybody!
[OLIVER]
Isn’t it delicious?
[MAY]
Ah, it’s so delicious!
[OLIVER & MAY]
I mean it!
[MRS. KANG, spoken]
Ooh, very interesting!
[OLIVER & MRS. KANG]
Have some more to eat
[MAY & SOPHIE]
Thanks, but I’ve had enough
[OLIVER & SOPHIE]
[?] Some more, some more
[MAY, MRS. KANG, OLIVER, & SOPHIE]
Isn’t it lovely?
Oh, how I’m glad!
[MAY]
The best food I’ve had!
[SOPHIE]
And questions to ask
[MRS. KANG]
