Poor Elia!! - Tumblr Posts

transcript below.

(trees rustling, ocean waves crash in the distance)

(Poppy walks quickly towards the flower field)

Poppy: Elia?

Elia: Look at you! You’ve grown along so nicely, little friend.

Poppy: (in distance) Elia?! Where are you?

(Elia rises from flowers)

Elia: Poppy? I didn’t know you were —

Poppy: There you are! Why don’t you answer your phone?!

Elia: Hello to you too?

(Poppy paces nervously)

Poppy: I have news.

Elia: Okay.

Poppy: Bad news!

(Elia reaches for flower, then abruptly stops)

Elia: Uh oh.. What’s wrong?

Poppy: Well. (sharp exhales) God.

Elia: Go on.

(Poppy walks ahead, Elia follows)

Poppy: Maybe you should sit down first.

Elia: Huh? Is someone hurt?

Poppy: Worse.

Elia: Poppy?!

Poppy: It’s the wedding venue!

Elia: That’s it?! You scared m—

Poppy:They.. They canceled on us. It fell through!

Elia: (confused) What?

Poppy: Apparently they double booked. “A new employee mix up.” Can you believe?! The next date isn’t available until like, two years from now!

Elia: But..

Poppy: I know. I know! I’m scrambling, it’s all fucked! The flights, the hotel, the catering, the everything!

Elia: So.. I’m not getting married where my parents did?

(Poppy looks down, defeated)

Poppy: No.

Elia: I-I don’t know what to say. (attempts to hide the sadness in her voice) That.. Really sucks.

Poppy: I tried everything, I even offered more money! They wouldn’t budge. I’m so sorry, Elia.

Elia: I know you must;ve. It’s not your fault.

Poppy: Look at you, you’re heart broken! (groans) Those assholes. Screw you Windenburg Chalet Gardens! 

Elia: Hey, no.. It’s—

Poppy: Don’t say it’s fine. It’s not fine. Any other bride would be freaking out right now. I’m more upset than you are!

Elia: What, do you expect me to yell at you? Throw a fit? It won’t change a thing.

Poppy: It’d at least be better than the sadness I see now.

Elia: It is what it is.

(Poppy sighs)

Elia: Well.. What do we do? Do I call it off and elope?

Poppy: No! No way. 

Elia: Hard to believe we can do anything now. We’re at square one.

Poppy: Give me a few days and I’ll fix this. We can still have a wedding, a damn good one at that!

Elia: (doubtful) How?
