:43:02
Why?
:43:04
Because l could.
:43:07
Because it's like a free pass.
Nobody can judge you...
:43:11
...if you almost died.
:43:14
Well, l judged her.
:43:18
Maybe l was being judged too.
:43:22
It was lik e a month after that, Hurricane
Andrew came along and just...
:43:27
...swooped down
lik e an angel of God...
:43:31
...and just wiped out everything
I had left.
:43:36
Everything.
:43:38
I knew it'd break my heart
to start another nursery...
:43:42
...so, you know,
when the Seminoles called...
:43:44
...they wanted a white guy or an expert
to get their nursery going, l took the job.
:43:50
l wasn't gonna give them a
conventional little potted-plant place.
:43:55
l was gonna give them something...
:43:58
...amazing, you know?
:44:00
Yeah, I know, John.
:44:04
I know.
:44:06
'' l was going to give them
something amazing.''
:44:11

Laroche is such a fun character.
:44:23
-Yeah.
-lt's funny and fresh.
:44:26
And sad in a way.
:44:29
So we were wondering what's next.
:44:31
Well, Random House has asked me...
:44:34
...to expand it into a book,
so l'm gonna be doing that.
:44:36
-And--
-Susan, we would like to option this.
:44:42
-You wanna make it into a movie?
-lnto a movie.
:44:45
Oh, God!
:44:48
-That's really....
-How does that sound?
:44:50
-That's very exciting.
-Good.
:44:52
lt's just comical. l hadn't thought of it.
l've never written a screenplay before.
:44:56
Don't worry about that. We have
screenwriters to write the screenplay.
