Tuiskoms

So, what do you think about Werner's offer?

It's another restaurant.

Exactly. And I know nothing about flowers.

No.

But…

there's YouTube.

And your name literally means "flowers."

Just because your grandparents were high when they named me,

doesn't mean I know how to arrange flowers.

I think it's symbolic.

I think you read too much.

Yeah, every parent's biggest fear.

Fleur…

it's temporary.

-I say, take it. -It's irregular hours again.

Yeah, and it's cold at night on the streets under a blanket.

Stop looking for excuses.

It's a job.

You need a job, like, today. Stop being picky.

Fleur!

Is he my new dad?

Don't you have homework?

Are you taking the job?

Well, you said it so beautifully and gently.

I don't have a choice.

And so, Fleur started a new chapter.

It wasn't without apprehension, but with a firm commitment.

As usual, she would face it head-on.

Okay.

I'll do it.

Thanks for the opportunity.

Fantastic. You won't regret it.

The price of your coffee?

That would make Gift very happy.

Come.

Mari is our florist.

She's Doc Paul's wife.

Was a receptionist.

I think there was plenty of hanky-panky during lunchtime.

Werner, I'll give you a spanking.

Who's that?

My grandmother.

We have a few book suppliers. We get flowers from a few farms.

We don't really do functions but we have a few contracts.

What does he do?

Sean. Mari's grandson.

He's supposed to be her "assistant." His parents kicked him out.

Which POS have you used before?

You can have a look, but the shop runs smoothly.

Thanks. I'll still have a look.

See you tomorrow.

Fleur was determined to make a success of Bloom & Bean

and get her life back on track.

-Have you done your maths? -Yes.

The problem is Fleur is a Capricorn.

And whether you believe in star signs or not,

one thing was certain,

she is a mountain goat.

Music sheet for choir?

Whatever the question is, the answer is yes.

You have to admire the mountain goat's determination.

But they're also incredibly stubborn, and sometimes…

Really?

…only sometimes,

simply brazenly cheeky.

Mom, please.

Alright. Have a nice day.

I hope you won't be this way at the shop today.

My dearest daughter, as usual, hit the nail on the head.

Fleur had big plans for the shop.

Bloom & Bean would not be a repeat of Juntos.

Of that, she would make sure.

TUISKOMS

We simply can't. They're for everyone.

-Have you discussed it with Werner? -I was hoping he'd be here, but…

It's better she knows already.

I should dye my hair. Always wanted to be a blonde.

-Where's my lunch box. -Maybe black?

What about brown? Brunette?

I'll try your colour, then we'll be--

-No. -You're a pocket-size version of me.

Did you and Luke actually just talk?

Was that a conversation?

I've only heard him speak five times.

And he's so hot.

Not Ferdinand hot, but…

-Jock-hot. -Whatever.

-Where is my lunch-box? -Did you take it?

Yes!

-I should listen to my mom more often. -No! They can never know they're right.

INCOMING CALL JOHNATHAN

-Let me read the first chapter. -You'll have to wait like everyone else.

-Where does it take place? -Kimberley in the 1870s.

Diamonds! Exciting. I'll bring your latte.

I don't know. She's just--

-I've been calling all day. -Sorry. Busy. Howzit going here?

Can we sit down? There are a few things that--

Can it wait until tomorrow? I…

I'm helping the German tourism industry with an outreach job tonight.

-Enjoy your evening. -Are you going to pay for that?

Can't I take you to school?

Fleur, the taxi is fine. Let it go.

I miss our time together in the car.

Yes, we laugh and chat and you make the funniest jokes.

We braid each other's hair.

What? Like last night over supper?

Sorry.

There's plenty happening at the shop.

Growing pains and…

Is that your grandmother?

Who's that with her? Mom!

Morning.

Where are you going?

William and I are going out. Have a nice day!

Who's William?

I don't know, but he's hot.

Silver fox vibes.

Go get in the bus.

BLOOM & BEAN

Perfect.

Howzit going here?

Fine.

Still getting used to everything.

Ag, wait a minute.

Sean!

Please fill the flower buckets with water.

We can't afford to waste.

One day here, and she's a flower specialist.

Howzit going with Dad?

Good. Yes.

Your mom frustrates me. She's not answering my calls.

We need to discuss the divorce.

Are you serious? Can't you resolve things?

I would've done it anyway.

It's 45 years. One doesn't just move on.

Lucy and I are moving in together.

What about counselling, or--

Fleur, it's over, please.

Things can't stay the same. They just can't.

I have to go.

You and Kelly can live with us. There's enough space.

Yes. I…

I really have to…

Maybe I should go for pink. But then my mom will say I'm cheap.

Maybe lime green. Do you think Ferdinand would like that?

Did you know nail polish has been around since 3, 000 BC?

There's a braai at the beach tonight. You should come.

-A braai? -Yes.

Come.

Maybe, yes. I'll see.

You draw well.

He must really like you.

Losing a pet is tough.

If something had to happen to Kerneels…

I'll add a few things to cheer you up.

Mari, we can't continue to give away freebies.

How's your mom?

How's her hip?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Fleur.

Oh, yes. I should've mentioned.

Michael is my best friend.

He moved in with me after his wife dumped him.

Thanks.

Your son urinates everywhere except in the toilet.

Don't expect sympathy.

-Usual, please. -Aweh.

Werner, the open mic.

We did the same at Juntos and it's usually a waste of money.

-People don't eat, order one drink-- -We're not cancelling.

-But-- -It's not up for debate.

The open mic night is actually fun.

I'm sure.

Are you adapting?

At least it's a job.

Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful.

-Yes, don't stress. I understand. -Enjoy your evening!

The business chamber's monthly mixer is tonight.

I could introduce you to a few people.

-You don't have to feel bad. -I don't.

Okay, I do.

But there are people I can introduce you to.

So, join me.

What time?

Bloom and Bean.

I'll have a look.

No, we don't have yellow roses.

Let me check.

No tulips either.

The roses are right there!

Marius wants to send flowers to Tersia again.

She's way out of his league.

I'm helping him.

You just cost us money.

-You can't-- -Don't you have anything better to do?

Like licking plates?

You're fired.

You can't fire me. You're only here until Werner seduces you.

Leave my shop. Now!

Leave!
