2.

Flynn and Samantha have headed to Miami, as an avid bird enthusiast, she wanted to see Jungle island( A park in Downtown Miami known for its bird sanctuaries and bird shows).

The show starts tommorow, but the park is open today

While Sam gets some rest, Flynn heads to the park in advance

Flynn: Hi there?

Attendant: Hi, do you have any questions about the exhibit.

Flynn: I'd actually like to speak to your events coordinator if I could.

Attendant: Oh yeah, sure.

He follows the Attendant

Manager: Good morning, young man. Is there an issue?

Flynn: No sir, I actually want to ask for a favor if I could.

Manager: A favor? Of what kind of nature?

Flynn: Theres this girl, I really really love her. I want to marry her. We have tickets for your 5:30 show tommorow, with Elena Bernstein, the bird lady. As far as I understand, once she recieves a payment via the bird, she sends back a receipt. I want her to send something else.

Flynn pulls out a note saying "Look next to you"

Manager: I'll have you know, we can't exactly do this as it violates the terms of our organization.

Flynn: No exceptions?

Manager: None whatsoever.

Flynn: Are you aware how much attention this could bring to your organization. If your boss catches word of this, he can promote you.

Manager: In the same way, he can fire me. Look, I get what you're doing. I'm married, I went through what you're going through. I also get what point you're trying to make, that it can bring us money, that it could make us look good and give us publicity. And in exchange, you get a nice memory for you and hopefully your future wife. I'm sorry, I can't risk my position.

Flynn: You said you were married?

Manager: Yes, I proposed to her 6 months ago.

Flynn: How'd you do it?

Manager: It didn't exactly go as plan. I wanted to ask the chef at a restraunt to present a dish. Then I would say "Allow me, please" and it would open to show the ring. Instead, the box never recieved a ring. I had it with me all along and because of that blunder it didn't go as I wanted it to.

Flynn: Doesn't that make you sad?

Manager: A little, its just... after 4 years you want everything to be perfect and then it just....

You know what, to hell with it.

Sir, you have a deal. If I fucked up, I out let someone else fuck up. This will bring attention and get me promoted. But more importantly, eternal happiness. Go with God sir. I'll make sure she gets this paper. What does she look like.

He presented an image of both of them together

Manager: Perfect. I'll see to it that Helen recognizes both of you.

Flynn: I can't thank you enough. What's your name?

Manager: Prescott Harvey.

Flynn: I'm Flynn Santiago, I'll make sure everything gets done.
