:43:03
Why?
:43:05
Because I could.
:43:08
Because it's like a free pass.
Nobody can judge you...
:43:12
...if you almost died.
:43:15
Well, I judged her.
:43:19
Maybe I was being judged too.
:43:23
It was like a month after that, Hurricane
Andrew came along and just...
:43:27
...swooped down
like an angel of God...
:43:32
...and just wiped out everything
I had left.
:43:37
Everything.
:43:39
I knew it'd break my heart
to start another nursery...
:43:43
...so, you know,
when the Seminoles called...
:43:45
...they wanted a white guy or an expert
to get their nursery going, I took the job.
:43:51
I wasn't gonna give them a
conventional little potted-plant place.
:43:56
I was gonna give them something...
:43:59
...amazing, you know?
:44:01
Yeah, I know, John.
:44:05
I know.
:44:07
"I was going to give them
something amazing."
:44:12
It's beautifully written.
You have such a unique voice.
:44:15
Thank you very much.
:44:18
- We're big fans.
- Thank you.
:44:21
Laroche is such a fun character.
:44:24
- Yeah.
- It's funny and fresh.
:44:27
And sad in a way.
:44:30
So we were wondering what's next.
:44:32
Well, Random House has asked me...
:44:35
...to expand it into a book,
so I'm gonna be doing that.
:44:37
- And...
- Susan, we would like to option this.
:44:42
- You wanna make it into a movie?
- Into a movie.
:44:46
Oh, God!
:44:48
- That's really...
- How does that sound?
:44:51
- That's very exciting.
- Good.
:44:53
It's just comical. I hadn't thought of it.
I've never written a screenplay before.
:44:57
Don't worry about that. We have
screenwriters to write the screenplay.
