## Dialogue

#### Start New Day

> **Naima**Here we are, ladies. The jewel of Dara's Gardens...
> The Community Garden! Build by the community, for the community.**Lily**And look at all of us! No more secrets, finally working together.**Kath**Yes, despite our deceptions, we've been able to create a strong community of our own.**Regina**Then what are we waiting for: let's get to work!

#### Dara's Touch

> **Lily**So where are we at with fundraiser preparations?**Naima**I've got a number of calls lined up today with potential sponsors.**Regina**And I'm gonna call Melissa and Philip to discuss some ideas I've got.**Kath**Then you two should go off and make your calls.**Regina**I would... but I can't leave Lily with all these tasks.**Kath**Don't worry: I can lend a hand. My dad taught me a thing or two about gardening.**Lily**We've got this, Regina! You gals make your phone calls...[Regina and Naima exit.]**Lily**And as for us...duty calls! We've got weeds to weed.
> Wow, Kath! You definitely have Dara's touch.**Kath**It's not very often a Hollywood producer gets dirt under her fingernails...
> But I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel great!

#### Stairs & Cares

> **Lily**What do you know about stair installation?**Kath**Almost nothing...but I've used stairs quite a lot in my life.**Lily**It'll come easy just fiddle your hands a bit and then...

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Poof! Stairs worth staring at.**Kath**Wow, you really make this look easy. I wish we had met much earlier.
> You wouldn't have let the garden wither like I did.**Lily**It's a huge place, Kath. And a giant responsibility. You shouldn't be down on yourself.**Kath**I know... but I still feel the guilt.
> I should have taken care of this place. Like my father took care of me...

> **Lily**But you were grieving...that's a heavy burden on its own.**Kath**I just should've done more. My dad never stopped working. Why did I?
> I was too ashamed to ask for help until it was nearly too late.**Lily**But it wasn't too late, Kath. We're here. And we're bringing the garden back to life.**Kath**You're right. You and your husband have been life-savers. I'm so grateful.**Lily**We've got so much love! It'd be a waste to keep it to ourselves.

Made the gradient - 3 stars

> **Lily**You picked up the stair design pretty quickly...
> How do you think you'll do with ramp installation?**Kath**It'll be an uphill battle...but I'm a quick learner!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**An uphill battle? Oh my gosh? Oh my gosh! Kath, did you make a joke?**Kath**Of course. I'm a laugh riot.
> When Dara adopted me. he also adopted a book of terrible dad jokes.**Lily**It comes with the territory, I guess.
> But I must say, I'm super impressed with your dad.
> Adopting a kid and showing them love and care isn't easy.**Kath**It's not different from how you take care of Karen.
> Love and care can take all different shapes and sizes.

Fully-Vertical Ramp - 3 stars

> **Lily**Stairs? You aced 'em. Ramp? Knocked it out of the park.
> But how will you fare against this wall?**Kath**I'll just try making an impossibly steep ramp. It should work out.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Kath, if producing doesn't work out, you have a great future in design.**Kath**Thanks, Lily! But I should probably be getting back to the set.
> We've got a movie to make after all.**Lily**And I'm sure releasing a movie requires more oversight than not releasing one.**Kath**It's gonna be great. We've got a killer crew and Santi's a major talent.
> It might not be the biggest money-maker in studio history...
> But it's why I got into this junk: to help passions blossom into reality.**Lily**You're sounding a lot more like your dad, Kath. A gardener of stories.**Kath**I am? Huh... I guess I am.
> Good luck, Lily. I'll see you later.

#### Gaffers Gotta Gaff

> **Luke**A new day in Hollywood. And now that all our problems are solved...
> The only thing left to do is...
> Oh my gosh! We need to put out an actually good movie now!
> I gotta get to work. Starting with some new lights.

*Player selects an option*

> **Luke**Amazing! Glad I made no major gaffs with this gaffing job.
> I can't tell if actually releasing this movie is giving me new enthusiasm...
> Or a slowly-churning case of anxiety...
> But either way I'm pumped on adrenaline.
> I'm gonna give this movie all the magic I've got.

#### Troubled Genius

> **Luke**You know what? I don't have to be worried. This isn't my first rodeo. I'm a professional.
> I can set design without freaking out about the results.**Will Donald**My dude! I can't direct this movie. I'm freaking out about the results!**Luke**Will, chill! Where'd all your usual bravado go?**Will Donald**In the toilet. In my solid gold, Gucci toilet.
> I'm all brawn, no brains. I care more about cellulite than celluloid.**Luke**Get a hold of yourself, man! You're Will Donald...and this is an amazing opportunity.
> Who cares why they hired you? Are you gonna look this gift horse in the mouth?**Will Donald**No, that's my equestrian orthodontist's job.**Luke**You have a lot of experience. It's time to use it. You can do this, bro.**Will Donald**I can?**Luke**Of course you can. Now put your vision to use and pick some set decor.

*Player selects an option*

> **Lukr**See, Will? You've got a vision. And we're gonna bring it to life together.**Will Donald**You're right, Luke. I'm a genius. I don't know why I ever doubted myself.**Luke**Well, I didn't say you were a genius but... oh whatever!

#### A Touch of Home

> **Luke**Looks like our favorite expecting parents have arrived on set...**Santi**I can't take it any longer, my love. What is this surprise you speak of?**Alma**To me, you are the poet laureate of Isla Bonita.
> So what would your first film be without a touch of home?**Santi**Your extra suitcase! Could it be? Did you bring...**Alma**Yes, my love. Flowers from home. My small contribution to your art.

*Player selects an option*

> **Santi**This brings a tear to my eye, Alma. Isla Bonita follows me wherever I go.
> Coming here, believing in me, guiding me...you are an angel.**Alma**And you are my star, my shining piece of heaven.**Santi**Whatever happens with this film, all that matters is our love... and our family.

#### Chair Collaboration

> **Luke**I can handle the chairs on my own, Will. I'm sure you're plenty busy.**Will Donald**No can do, broseph. These chairs are for my favorite scene. I wanna help you pick...

*Player selects an option*

> **Alma**My goodness, Santi... Look! The setting of my favorite scene...**Santi**Ah, yes! This is where Alfonso will sit and ponder his final thoughts.**Alma**Long after his days at sea, sitting in a waiting room, his faculties failing...
> His chair begins to rock on imaginary waves, and he thinks...**Will Donald**"Even the earth floats gently on the sea."
> Our bodies contain more water than blood. Are our hearts controlled by the tides?**Alma**Mr. Donald, that is a beautiful thought. You have mused on this piece, yes?**Will Donald**My father was a navy man. Always traveling. I've been about this my whole life.**Alma**The waves of fate have brought you here to this work. We are blessed.**Santi**I am honored to have you direct my script, Will. I am forever grateful.**Will Donald**Right back atcha, bro. We're in this together. Let's give it all we got.

#### Back to basics

> **Lily**With everyone gone, it's back to basics for Lily Roberts.
> I'm gonna add some fresh plants and sniff the heck outta' em!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Is it just me or do these plants smell like snickerdoodles?[Vroom Vroom]**Lily**Melissa! What a nice surprise!**Melissa**Regina called me about the fundraiser so I raced over.
> I figured I could use my cart to sell baked goods to rise money.**Lily**People do love food trucks. And who can say no to treats?**Melissa**Not me! I was thinking we could auction off some baking workshops as well.**Lily**An "Ultimate Bake-Off" winner selling classes will bring in a huge crowd!**Melissa**And I've been trying to think of specialty-themed treats for the event...
> Maybe Justin has some ideas? He is a snack after all.

#### Green Thumbs Up

> **Lily**Would you mind switching from yeast cultures to horticultures?**Melissa**Of course! I don't hang out with my favorite gardener without getting my thumbs green.**Lily**Yay! Let's toil in the soil.

*Player selects an option*

> **Regina**Hey, Lils. Nice work here. I just got through a bunch of calls and...
> Melissa! I called you twenty minutes ago. How are you already here?**Melissa**I would have been here sooner, but I couldn't decide which spatula to bring.**Regina**Which one did you decide on?**Melissa**All 14 of them! You can never be too prepared.**Lily**How'd your calls go, Regina? You and Naima rally the troops?**Regina**Between our friends and Naima's contacts, this fundraiser is gonna be dynamite.**Lily**Boom! Should I be expecting any of your royal relatives?**Regina**Nope. Unless you count gramps as the King of Grouches.**Lily**Well if the fundraiser is happening, we've got to get ready as soon as possible.
> Let's split up the rest of the work. There's so much left to do.**Melissa**And I've got baked goods to bake good. Toodaloo, ladies!

#### Pretty Pots

> **Lily**Come on, little pots, let's pretty you up for the fundraiser!

*Player selects an option*

> **Holly**I heard a new F word that I'm a huge fan of.**Lily**Mom! What?**Holly**Fundraiser!
> Tell me everything.
> No forget it, I'm busy.
> I'm all in!**Lily**It's a fundraiser for the garden, Mom, not for you. It's not really your...scene.**Holly**I love a community!
> And everywhere is my scene, Lily. I'm a social chameleon.
> Besides I haven't given up on my dream of being a philanthropist.
> You know what they say! Sometimes you gotta give to get!**Lily**Who says that? Does anybody say that?
> Nobody says that!

#### Path Decor

> **Naima**Oh, Holly! It's so good to see you!**Holly**Naima, girl, missed you at Philanthropy Cocktail Hour!
> I was the only one there, but that's all you need for a party, am I right?**Lily**Naima, just in time! Help me choose the decorations for this path!**Naima**Oh yes. Get in here, Holly!

*Player selects an option*

> **Naima**Now, here's what I'm thinking for the fundraising event...

> **Naima**A sponsored nature run through the gardens!**Holly**Natural run! They're nude! I love it! It's like Naked and Afraid without the Afraid!**Lily**Mooooom.**Naima**What?! No.
> The run is sponsored. They're wearing shirts--clothes!--from their sponsors.
> And it's a relay! So it takes teamwork, just like building a community!**Holly**Listen, I know a thing or two about being passed around...
> If you want a real challenge, they relay with full margarita glasses!**Naima**This is a fundraiser, not a frat party, Holly.**Holly**So no tequila sunrise fountain??**Naima**...

#### A Lily Problem

> **Naima**Nautral does not mean nude!**Holly**But it's great for bonding!**Lily**Okay, I'm just gonna...
> go over here, and...
> Yeah, that's a them problem.
> This gate is a me problem. And my favorite kind!

*Player selects an option*

> **Lily**Gosh, I can't believe this is all happening!
> One minute we're finishing a beautiful, innovative garden...
> The next, it's a mad dash to help a community in need!
> I guess you never know what life will bring you. But two things are always constant:
> Friends and gardening!

#### Chaos Gate

> **Naima**All right, ladies, I have to keep moving.
> So much to do, so many things to organize!
> I'm sure I'll be in and out again, nothing ever goes according to plan!**Lily**Do you need help, Naima?**Naima**Nope, I thrive in chaos! Bye now![Naima exits]**Lily**Mom, want to help me with this gate?**Holly**Nope.

*Player selects an option*

> **Holly**Unlike Naima, I do not thrive in chaos.**Lily**Mom, you don't really... thrive.
> And you basically ARE chaos.**Holly**That must be why Naima and I get along so well!

#### A Good Cause

> **Regina**Well, we can't have a proper party with all these weeds everywhere!
> Timelapse time!
> Much better.
> Hey, Caleb!**Caleb**Regina! I can't believe it! I heard about everything! The gardens--the film set--
> I'm shocked!!**Regina**You're actually one of the bigger reasons we managed to put it all together.**Caleb**I am??**Regina**If you hadn't mentioned that your mom and Kath are friends...
> We may have never made the connection.**Caleb**Gosh, this is wild.
> Listen, I know I said I didn't want to do the big bird show my mom wanted.
> But...I want to help! And a big bird show could draw a big crowd. With deep pockets.
> Mom and I aren't fighting anymore and this is a good cause.**Regina**Really?? That would be amazing, Caleb!**Caleb**It'll raise money and awareness at the same time. I'm happy to do it!

#### Path to Ideas

> **Caleb**Can I help you, Regina?**Regina**Totally. I'm just trying to decide what to do with this space.
> First things first, I'll build the path to it.

*Player selects an option*

> **Caleb**What if we use this area over here as a dance floor??
> Get all those rich donors to bust a move!**Regina**Oh great idea!
> And then over here we can set up tables and have a big community dinner.**Caleb**Yes! The heavy hitters who eat together...uh...donate together?**Regina**Sounds about right to me!
> And we can give the leftovers to the community fridges and soup kitchens.

#### Dancing King

I think he built one for the film set. Hang on...
I am the Dancing Kind! I am the Lord of the Dance!

*Player selects an option*

> And a key fundraising element!**Luke**Oh, that reminds me...
> I talked to Will and he offered to auction himself off for charity.**Regina**As what?**Luke**Um. I dunno. Like as a date? A bachelor auction?**Regina**Uh, no. It's not that kind of fundraiser.**Caleb**But he's pretty popular actor among certain circles...**Regina**All right, all right. We can auction off a meet-and-greet with him. Sound good?
> No romance allowed. All clothes required. Pass that info on.**Luke**Yes ma'am!

#### The Unstoppables

> **Lily**Hey guys! Wow, look at this place! It's beautiful!**Regina**Lils, just in time to hang some lights with us.**Lily**Sounds perfect!

#### The Who?

> **Lily**Mom! What!?
> What is all that?**Holly**Oh, this is just junk I nicked at Woodstock.
> You have this big dance floor here. You need a band!**Luke**Did she say Woodstock??**Holly**Stevie Nicks left his tambourine in my tent, so I considered it forfeit.
> She's got hundreds of 'em.
> And this kid named Peter offered me this guitar after I pulled him from a mud pit.
> Can't remember what he said the band's name was, though, he was pretty out of it...**Caleb**Who?**Holly**Oh, that's it!**Luke**Oh my god.**Regina**I mean, she's right...we do need a band...**Lily**Well, let's get set up, then!

*Player selects an option*

I'm excited.**Caleb**Me too!**Regina**I'm excited but I also feel like I might throw up. Is that excitement??**Luke**In my experience? Yes.**Lily**You okay, Regina?**Regina**I know what it is. I'm excited for the fundraiser...
> And nervous because Whitney is coming home tomorrow from her FBI assessment.**Luke**Whoa, sick! I wonder if she'll already have a badge!**Regina**I just want to know how she did and if she made it and if our lives are about to change!**Lily**Well! You'll know tomorrow. All we can do is wait to find out!
