MARK
The subject, Patient D, is a 29-year-old, single, homosexual male who lives in a small rental apartment in 3 Line St in Greenwich Village. He works as an assistant in a neighborhood flower shop. At the time he first came to see me, Patient D had been working in the shop for several years. What he liked more than anything was spending his days in the nursery in the back, attending to the flowers and the plants and helping them grow

DAVID
Hey buds below
Up is where to grow
Up with which bеlow can't compare with
Hurry - it's lovely up herе

MARK
His boss thought he was gifted, but he was forever hiding his light under a bushel, and then hiding the bushel

BOSS
Davey, stop talking to the plants, and come out here, and start talking to the customers

DAVID
I'll be right there
Life down a hole takes an awful toll
What with not a soul there to share with
Hurry - it's lovely up here!

MARK
When he did let himself blossom, the results were unique

CUSTOMER
Oh, young man, it's marvelous. You're a real magician
DAVID
Oh, it's nothing. Did you hear that?
Wake up, bestir yourself
It's time that you disinter yourself
You've got a spot to fill - a pot to fill
And what a gift package of shower, sun and love
You'll be met above everywhere with
Fondled and sniffed by millions who drift by
Life here is rosy if you're a posy
Hurry it's lovely here!

MARK
Outside of work, the subject retreated from all adult responsibilities. His roommate thought he wasn't moving forward with his life

MURIEL
You're not moving forward with your life

MARK
Until, one day, she had an idea

MURIEL
I have an idea! Come with me to my psychology class. I think the reason you can't stop smoking is you can't remember why you started in the first place. I think it's all in your unconscious

DAVID
Muriel, I'm far too superficial to have an unconscious
MURIEL
And, you don't want to future with Warren, which you will, because you told him you already have stopped smoking...

DAVID
Muriel, I am telling you I can quit on my own

MURIEL
The class starts at 6. It's up to you

DAVID
Can you believe her?!
Come, rhododend! Courage, little friend
Ev'rything'll end rhododandy
Hurry! It's lovely
Hurry! It's lovely
Maybe I do need help... The Cravens Institute

MARK
Which is where I'm about to come in

DAVID
Dr. Mark Bruckner. I'm gonna do it! Goodnight, children! The next time you see me, I might be a whole other person

Climb up geranium
It can't be fun subterran-ium
On the exterior, it's cheerier
RSVP peonies, pollinate the breeze
Make the queen of bees hot as brandy
Push up azalea, don't be a failure!
Come up and see the hoot we're giving!
Come up and see the grounds for living!
Hurry it's lovely here!
