Love Flower

How much money was in there?

You know, I didn't actually count it.

Ballpark it.

Feel that?

Yeah, I fucking feel that.

Fuck.

- You having trouble with that? - Yeah, I am.

There it is.

Shit.

Joshua.

Joshua, hurry up!

My ointments.

Jesus.

Oh, my God, is it really that hard?

No, it's just, that...

Never mind.

Why are you dressed like this?

They're giving me a chance to do sales today

and one of the Healer's big clients

is coming into the studio.

Which reminds me, we're running low

on brain boost and Kava Calm,

so, do you have any cash?

I don't get paid until Friday.

Yeah, we're not going to make it until then.

You can borrow some of my Kava Calm.

But you need it.

Not like you do.

What's that supposed to mean?

Nothing.

Are we going for a walk today?

We are.

You are so handsome.

You are the most handsome.

What the fuck, Joshua.

It's time for your medicine, okay?

Water?

What are you holding in your hand, Joshua?

Mm, I feel more focused already.

Today's energy rush, silly.

I'll be home at like seven, okay?

Okay.

- Bye. - Bye.

Well, good morning, sweet thing.

Good morning, Wade.

Hey, what's up, Joshua?

Hey, you wouldn't still happen to have

any of those pills I sold you?

I may have a few of them left.

The brain boost and the Kava Calm?

You know me, I'm naturally calm and intelligent.

Can you bring them by later?

Yeah, definitely.

I'll be home at seven.

Hey, Wade, are you done borrowing my blender?

Yeah, man, funny story about that, remember that chick, Alexis?

So, we've been flirting for a little while, and you know,

dancing around the whole idea of the bone ceremony.

I saw her at a show last week, we start dancing a little bit, making out,

told her come back to my place, she obliges, and the next thing you know.

I got to go to work, man.

Hey, can I borrow your coffee maker, by the way?

Look, man, you're borrowing my blender,

my shovel, my air pump...

Yeah, but it's all good man, no problem.

I have to get caught up on Netflix, anyway.

- There's this show... - Cool, bye.

No worries.

Josh.

You're a little late today.

We got a lot going on, so I'm going to need you to make getting here on time

a pri-o-ri-ty.

It is, I know. I'm sorry.

It's okay, we'll make up for it later.

I need you to be the lead on this one.

She's paying cash,

- pri-o-ri-ty. - Alright.

Oh, and I really want you to see this, come over here.

This right here is a steady increase since day one.

And right here,

that's you, that's a 0.3% increase

just in the last quarter.

That's a direct result of your commitment and expertise.

Shit sells itself, man.

Mm, that's what I like to hear.

Can't put a price on security, right, Josh?

That's right.

You seem like someone who's into full body wellness,

am I correct?

Yeah, I like to take care of myself, sure.

Wonderful, may I, may I show you something?

- Okay. - Come over here.

So, what I have here is a full body wellness system,

it's an array of tinctures and ointments,

that can really help you reach your full potential.

I think this endocrine cleanse tincture would be marvelous for you.

Are you interested?

I...

- Sure. - Wonderful.

So that will be $75.

Yeah, I'm working on one right now that uses hemp instead of whey protein.

- Oh, my God, yes. - So that way you don't get like the inflammation stuff.

Yes.

You should get paid for this, it's like the best massage I've had in a long time.

Yeah, okay gone, later, Rach.

See you tomorrow.

So, where have you been?

I told you I would be home at seven.

- The boss made me stay late. - Again?

Yeah.

And then you just came straight here?

Where else would I go?

I don't know.

I never know with you.

What's that supposed to mean?

I don't know, dude,

at least Wade is always around to keep me company

whenever you're staying late at work.

Did he bring my blender back?

Oh, fuck.

What, who is it?

What is up, brother?

Right now?

What's going on?

- It's Bucky. - Who?

Oh, yeah, that's Rachel, my girlfriend.

Um...

Yeah, seventh of Moat River,

in like 20 minutes.

Alright.

Well, who was that?

Bucky.

You already said that Joshua,

who in the fuck is Bucky?

So, how do you two know each other?

Porn.

Joshua never told you about his illustrious porn career?

No.

We met in college.

This guy's a real stud muffin.

Sprays more thick creamy loads than Starbucks.

But I'm sure you know all about his prowess.

Anyway, we worked at the same pizza joint.

That's a lie.

Joshua never showed you the dildo that's an exact

mold of his eraser head?

Careful.

Why have you never talked about this?

Yeah, Joshua, why haven't you talked about this?

And where can I get one?

Anyway, what have you been up to, Bucky?

Smoking.

That shit will kill you.

Why don't you want to talk about your dick?

Can you think of more interesting

topics to spend time on?

Let's talk about your beard. Can I touch it?

Where are you staying?

- Your couch. - I'm not sure.

Yeah, we didn't talk about this.

Whose name is on the place?

It's not a trick question guys.

Mine.

Great. BRB.

Maybe he'll buy us some of those nicotine addiction drops.

Does he have any money?

So, porn.

Don't pretend to believe him.

Maybe you guys should get a real job.

Me? Fuck you.

What is wrong with him?

So much.

So much.

There's a blanket.

There's more beer in the fridge if you need it.

What?

I got to go to bed man,

I work at eight.

Sucker.

Good night.

I could tell him to get a hotel room, but he probably won't.

How long?

You were as hell as welcome quickly.

Dude was never welcomed.

He likes to stay beyond the point

where everybody is uncomfortable.

Wow.

He sounds like a great friend, Joshua.

Yeah.

Who are you?

Who the fuck are you?

I'm Wade, do you smoke?

You fucking leech, you can't buy you some cigarettes?

What's up, Wade?

Hey, man, who is that guy?

That's my old pal Bucky.

Hey, you still have that laptop with the webcam on it, right?

- Mm-hm. - Well, there's this app called Naughty Neighbor,

but it's not like that, it's this app where we can live stream

in between each other's houses,
