(FLORIST stands behind a checkout counter. FEMALE CUSTOMER approaches them.)
FLORIST
Found everything you needed?
FEMALE CUSTOMER
Actually I just was wondering, this plant looks very dehydrated but it’s incredibly green still. That can’t be right.
FLORIST
Yes, that plant is dead.
FEMALE CUSTOMER
Excuse me?
FLORIST
Yup, in fact they all are. When they die, I just paint ‘em green! See.
(FLORIST pulls out a dead plant and a can of green spray paint from under desk, then coats the plant with it.)
FLORIST (CONT’D)
Tada!
(MALE CUSTOMER walks up to FLORIST holding a plant.)
MALE CUSTOMER
I’d like to buy this please.
FLORIST
Sure thing!
(FLORIST charges MALE CUSTOMER, MALE CUSTOMER leaves.)
FEMALE CUSTOMER
(upset)
You can’t just scam people like that.
FLORIST
Sure I can.
(OLD LADY walks up to florist holding a plant.)
OLD LADY
Your plants are so beautiful! I can’t find more like them anywhere!
FLORIST
Thank you, we pride ourselves in it.
(FLORIST charges OLD LADY, OLD LADY leaves.)
FEMALE CUSTOMER
I want to speak to your boss!
FLORIST
(smiling)
Sure thing!
(FLORIST disappears behind desk. Spraying sounds are heard. FLORIST reappears holding a beige coloured skeleton.)
FEMALE CUSTOMER
That can’t be your boss, it’s just a painted model.
FLORIST
Oh it’s my boss, he died years ago!
CUT TO BLACK
THE END
