A scene from Ghosted 2023
Cole
[Bagging a plant at a farmer's market]

No pesticides, more nutrients. It just tastes better, you know. [Takes dollar bill] Out of 20. Sorry, guys. [Uses phone to find cashbox] Five, six, seven. Have a good one.

Produce truck guy

You know you're gonna need to buy stock in those trackers. You'd lose your butt if it wasn't attached to you.

Cole

Well, you lost your hair, and that was attached.

Produce truck guy

I walked into that one.

Edna

Hey, Cole. Are you okay? Yeah, heard you got dumped.

Produce truck guy

Tough break, man.

Cole

Edna.

Edna

I gossip when I'm bored.

Cole

For your information, it was mutual.

Edna

Mmm.

Produce truck guy

That's what everyone says after getting dumped.

Edna

That's true. Hmm. Maybe try being a little less needy, you know? Girls don't really like that.

Cole

I'm not needy. We just grew apart. [Sighs] And I really just don't wanna talk about it.

Edna

You wanna go get high? I got a edible in the truck.

Cole

No, thanks.

Edna

Okay. Well, watch my booth. I'm gonna go get high.

Cole

Enjoy.
...

Cole
[Sadie approaches to Cole]

Can I help you?

Uh, yes, thank you. I'm gonna get that one.

Cole

Begonia. Nice choice.

Is that what it is?

Cole

Yeah.

It is pretty.

Cole

Yeah. Don't let any pets eat the leaves. They can be slightly toxic.

[Chuckles]

Pretty and slightly toxic. What is it with me and roommates? Didn't realize you roomed with all of my exes. Mmm. How much watering does it need?

Cole

Uh, every other day or so. Begonias need a little bit of love.

Uh... [Sighs] I... [Stutters] I'm actually gone a lot for work.

Cole

Okay. Okay, got it. Um, less love. [Chuckles] Um, what about a snake plant? They only need watering every two weeks.

Sometimes I'm gone longer, like a month or two.

Cole

Okay. Mmm. Sorry, then why do you want a plant if you're never home?

I'm not never home. I just... How about if you find me something a little less needy?

Cole

Right. Um, why not just get a plastic plant?

That's sad.

Cole

Well, not as sad as killing a plant. And some of the new ones, they look totally real. No amount of neglect will kill them.

Neglect? You know what, I'm... I'm gonna get this one.

Cole

Yep.

Thank you.

Cole

Sorry, I... I can't sell you this plant. I can't sell it to you in good conscience.

Good conscience? What are you, the patron saint of plants?

Cole

I just don't feel comfortable selling a plant to someone that can be so indifferent towards a living thing.

Indifferent? Is this how you speak to all your customers? 'Cause if you do, I'm shocked that you sell anything at all.

Cole

No, as a matter of fact, this isn't even my stall. I just don't wanna be an accomplice...

You're refusing to sell me a plant that you don't even own?

Cole

That's right.

Edna

Hey, Cole. What's going on?

Hi. Are these your plants?

Edna

Yes.

Awesome. 'Cause Farmer Clown here won't sell me one.

Cole
[Chuckles]

Farmer Clown. That's funny.

Edna

The plant is $10, honey.

Cole

Edna, sh... All right, you know what? Hey, want a plant? [Grabs a mini cactus off shelf] Here. [Sets it on counter] Cactus. Requires the bare minimum love a human can give, so you'll totally kill it.

You should fire him.

Edna

She's just gonna...

Cole

Have a good one. RIP, little guy. Can you believe that?

Edna

No. I thought for sure you two were gonna exchange numbers.

Cole

What?

Edna

Yes. I thought, under all that stupid fighting, you were flirting.

Cole

Wait, we were flirting?!

Edna

Are you kidding me?! Are you high? [Chuckles] The sexual tension was off the charts!

Cole

Edna, watch my stall.
