S: That's a Casa Blanca lily. If you're familiar with the language of flowers, it represents beauty, class, and style.
R: That's perfect.
S: However, it is one of my more expensive flowers . . . Is this for your wife?
R: Wife? No, no, no! It's for a girl I like.
S: How about a rose or a tulip? Tulips represent perfect love.
R: Everyone gives roses. And there's no such thing as perfect love.
S: Hmm . . . (Shows Ray a small bunch of flowers) How about baby's breath? It represents everlasting love and purity.
R: It's beautiful. I think that's the one.

H: Hi, I'd like a cactus, please.
S: And you seem determined to get one!
H: I've done my homework. I'm getting a cactus for my office desk to clean the air and cheer me up at work.
S: Right, one cactus coming up. (She places a small cactus on the counter.) This one is well suited to an office environment.
H: I'll take it.
S: Now, it's important not to give cacti too much water. Water it every couple of weeks or when it starts to wilt.
H: I understand. |
