Oh my goodness, you must be Rose!
Yeah, but who are you?
Oh right, we haven't met. My name's Carter.
Carter? I feel like we've met.
Nooo, my cover's been blown!
What?
I mean, oh look there's Ethan!
How do you know Ethan?
I may or may not be his best friend a.k.a wingman.
Wingman? Why do y-
Hello Rose, babe. How are you? Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Actually no. Hey, have you gotten new tulips or something? The store looks amazing. Not that it doesn't always look amazing. I mean it's seriously the best store.
Hey Ethan, you can cut the intro short now.
Uh, hi.
Oh my god, you are perfect for each other. You were definitely right, she is such a beauty.
Shut up, Carter. No one asked for your opinion.
Mate, bu-
Um...
Carter! Leave!
Will you be alright without me?
Not here.
Mate, it's just that I love you so much.
Uh..
Yeah, yeah. Don't say that here. Everyone will think we're gay, not that I have a problem with it but I'm not gay.
Okay, sorry but, seriously ask her out.
Twinkle twinkle little star, I want to hit you with a car.
Not this again.
I'm so confused...
Okay, go, she's looking.
I'm here you know... I can hear everything you're saying no matter how far you are standing away from me.
Goodbye Rose darling, same to you mate.
Carter!
What was that all about?
Nothing. Nothing at all.
Okay then. I'm not going to question it.
Rosebush, you've changed so much. I'm loving it.
Rosebush? Really? And if you love it so much, have some McDonalds. Do I know Carter?
I don't know. Only you know the answer.
I can't remember.
Well then, you don't know him.
He just seems so familiar.
Oh look at the time, time for me to turn on my flirt mode.
Flirt mode? What are you t-
Hey there darling, what's on the menu? Me-n-u
Not the cheesy puns.
But you love them. Don't be scared to admit it.
Yeah right. Since when did you have a flirt mode?
Since always, babe. But you were too blinded by my good looks to notice.
You are too blinded by your ugliness to notice how terribly they are.
Woah, girl. That one hurt.
Okay then, buy your flower or I'll kick you out.
Harsh girl. Just plain harsh.
That's what I am and always will be.
I thought you were Rose, but I guess not.
Haha.

Why another tulip?
Meh, I'm bored, and it's your favorite flower so I might as well get one.
Wow, okay. That's $2.00.
Like always, take my money please.
Gee, thank you so much. Have a good day, Ethan.
Let's put our tulips together.
Ethan leaves the store.
Why do I let him make these stupid puns all the time?
