Flowers of the Apocalypse 4.2: Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now Pink: Second day of work and it’s top of my career! I’ve shown that maybe we don’t have to cover the landscape in concrete to control the weeks if we take just a little extra effort to do some gardening and cleaning up in the yard.
Watcher: Well done, Pink, and you did it on Sunday in time for us to sort out your yard.
Pink: What can we have instead?
Watcher: Nothing but it’s better than the industrial concrete. Plus you can employ a gardener to help look after all those dragonfruit plants.
Pink: Can I plant some more things?
Watcher: Knock yourself out!

Marguerite: Dolls Dolls Dolls
Adrian: I sometimes wish we could play something else but there’s nothing else creative for you to do (Retail). I can’t even read you a story (Babysitter).
Marguerite: Dolls Dolls Dolls
Adrian: Yes! Lot’s of dolls.

Adrian: You’re really good at painting now. You’ve done nearly all our children.
Primrose: About that….
Adrian: I guess you do all the child care too. We’d be lost without you.
Primrose: And I was thinking….
Adrian: I know Marguerite really loves all the time you spend with her.
Primrose(sigh): Yes, I know.

Poppy: This is nice! A real family evening. Marguerite tucked up in bed and everyone else doing homework!
Pink: Actually, Mum - Dad, I had a call from the Principal. He said I could graduate early!
Adrian: Well done, Pink! And that’s with a part-time job too.
Pink: I’ve given that up too!
Poppy: But what are you going to do all day?
Pink: Did you know that Aunt Prim was planning to move out?
Poppy: No! Not Prim! Where’s she going?
Pink: Just over the road. You know we’ve got plenty of money so she’s had her own place set up. We can visit any day we want.
Adrian: But how will we manage?
Pink: With me! We’ll manage with me. Marguerite’s nearly ready for school and I love looking after the garden. I think I can get the hang of the repairs if everyone pitches in with cleaning and other chores…
Poppy: Oh! Are you sure?
Pink: It’ll be fun!

Orchid: Are you sure you know what you’ve let yourself in for?
Pink: Look, I might or might not be the Gen 4 heir, finding a baby daddy and all that…
Orchid: What?
Pink: You must realise the deal. It could be you! Anyway, if it turns out I’m not, Aunt Prim has got a spare bed. I’ll move over there.
Adrian: ZZZZZ

Umber: Pfft
Pink: How do you feel?
Umber: Well I want to Live Fast but do it in a Proper fashion. As well as being Neat. I’m a bit conflicted!
Pink: Mum always wants to be Proper but I don’t notice anything much different. You’ll cope!

Watcher: Another OK wardrobe.
Orchid: But what about his hair?
Watcher: It looks OK to me.
Orchid: Come on! That’s got to be gel in there. Hair doesn’t quiff up like that without some sort of product.
Watcher: So you’re an expert on product now?
Orchid: Oh yes! Oops – it’s been a while. Time for facial cleanser.

Poppy: Your turn now, Marguerite!
Marguerite: Pfft
Adrian: Happy Birthday. Wow – our first Green Fiend!
Poppy: And our first Top Notch Toddler!

Watcher: Well, a few swaps and you’re good to go.
Marguerite: Orchid said you’d need to change my hair.
Watcher: No – a simple bun is fine. I’m not a fan of a dressing gown for sleepwear. It looks uncomfortable to me but it’s all fine.
Marguerite: Just fine?
Watcher: Yep!

Poppy: Oh Adrian, the children are growing up so fast. And did you know I’ll be an adult next week?
Adrian: You’ll always be my baby, Angel Eyes!
Poppy: Even when I’m old, Care Bear?
Adrian: We…ell, there is a way we can slow that down…
Poppy (giggling): And the nursery is just there…

Poppy: Are you sure?
Adrian: If you are…

Watcher: Oh, hi Marguerite. I didn’t expect to find you in here.
Marguerite: I just woke up and thought it would be a great morning to water the plants.
Watcher: You know you’ve got a gardener now. She can take care of that.
Marguerite: Well – I like doing it.
Watcher: In your dressing gown.

Umber: Argh!
Watcher: What’s the matter?
Umber: School! Puberty! Mood Swings!
Watcher: Oh dear. Well you weren’t going to get promoted today anyway as your Charisma needs to rise…
Umber: Charisma Schmarisma! I’m ENRAGED!
Watcher: I’m a bit worried about your colleagues….and customers!

Watcher: Another day and a different person!
Umber: I’m sorry about yesterday, Watcher. With all Saturday to chill and catch up with schoolwork, I went off to work this evening feeling great!
Watcher: Well done. This will make life so much easier!
Umber: Yes! With sharp organizational skills and lightning fast fingers at the checkout line, I have helped the local market keep itself open 7 days a week. Supplies might still be limited but convenience is back, and with a smile!
Watcher: You said it!
