Garnet, Jamie and others in “Unfinished Business”

Garnet

I didn't mean to upset you.

Jamie

Then will you go out with me?

Garnet

No!

Jamie

But I've loved you since the moment I saw you.

Garnet

Love at first sight doesn't exist. Love takes time and love takes work. At the very least, you have to know the other person. And you literally have no idea who or what I am. [shades glimmer]

Jamie

But I bloom for you like— like a... camellia... under moonlight?

Garnet

No, you don't! [long beat] You make a very convincing lovesick fool. You convinced these children. [adjusts her shades] You even convinced yourself. [smiling] You're a fantastic actor.

Jamie

[beat] ..What am I supposed to do now?

Garnet

Start with local theater. [slaps Jamie's back, then walks away. Connie and Steven walk closer to him]

Connie

Are you okay?

Jamie

Yeah. That was some pretty solid advice.

Steven

Were those more letters you wrote to Garnet?

Jamie

No. That was the mail I was supposed to deliver on my last route.

Steven

[beat] We'll help you pick it all up.

Jamie

Thanks.
