Hey there, all you sleepy Angelenos. A good, good morning to you.
It's your buddy, Romeo Midnight. I know.
I'm the voice you normally listen to in the middle of the night.
But today is special, Los Angeles. It's my favourite day of the year.
Today is Valentine's Day.
And that's why I'll be here all day and all night, playing the songs you love...
...and the songs you love to love to.
Hi.
Okay.
When I was a kid, most of the advice that my dad gave me was crap.
There's one thing that he said that was pure genius.
He said, "If you ever are with a girl...
...that's too good for you...
...marry her."
So...
- Really? - Happy Valentine's Day.
Happy Valentine's Day.
She said yes!
Julia, call me as soon as you get this. I got big news. Big news.
- She said yes. - You're kidding.
- What? - I mean, you're kidding!
- You thought she'd say no. - Man, come on. You know me...
...always preparing for the worst. Immigrant mentality.
- Forget it. She said yes. This is good news. - Yeah, and get this:
I don't even have to play it cool today. I can be a sappy cheeseball all day...
...mooning about love to total strangers, and no one'll think I'm a moron.
Because it's Valentine's Day, huh?
And everyone is romantic on Valentine's Day.
Get your head out of your ass and use your damn turn signal...
...you freaking moron.
Good morning, Los Angeles.
I'm Sherry Donaldson with the KVLA news team.
- And now let's check the weather. - Good morning.
Sun shines on late morning, and look at these numbers.
Highs in the upper valleys in the 60s, and a bit cloudy by the coast...
...until mid-morning, when the marine layer burns off.
Susan, what the hell is this?
Oh, the boss thinks it's gonna up the ratings.
And we're clear.
Not talking about Pippi Longstocking, I'm talking about this.
I'm a sports journalist, I don't do lifestyle.
You're my number two sports journalist, Kelvin, which means...
...that on slow sports days, you do the pieces I want you to do.
The station wants more fluff.
I'll do some follow-up stories, do some investigative reporting...
...bring it back to you?
There's only one story today, Kelvin. It's all yours.
It's not complicated. It's your basic man on the street.
"Tell me, John Q, Jane Q, what does Valentine's Day mean to you?"
It gives me acid reflux. That's what it means to me.
We spend a lot of money. Nobody cares. It's not a real holiday.
We don't take the day off. Come on, Susan.
And we're coming back in five, four, three...
Listen, I'm a player...
...but I shut down my player-ness...
...from New Year's to Saint Paddy's Day just so I can avoid this day.
I need happy, I need romantic, I need love...
...and I need it from you.
You need Jesus.
Go. Go away now.
Sunflowers! Beautiful!
Good morning!
- Hello, good morning. - Hello, hello.
I need my lucky bamboo. Actually, I need both flats, and...
- Do you hav...? I actually need the whole lot. - All of them?
- Want my Gerbera daisies too? - No, no, no. No... Yes.
Alphonso's gonna pick everything up later.
- Mr. Reed, why are you always happy? - Why not be always happy?
- Reed? - Simon.
- Reed. - What's up, man?
- How are you? - All right.
- What's going on? - Hey, I'm gonna be on TV.
- Interviewer over there. - Really?
Nice! Listen, I need to talk to you.
Morley said yes.
She said yes?
What is with everybody? She said yes. I'm getting married.
It's great news, huh?
Listen, I need to get her something, like, really nice, though, like...
Not roses, something out of the ordinary, you know?
- Wow, what is it? - No, no, no.
Do not open until perfect moment.
Ready for the interview.
Kelvin Moore here, KVLA Channel 13...
...right here at the downtown flower mart with Mr. Simon Pham...
...that's P-H-A-M, not with an F.
Mr. Pham, how many red roses do you sell on Valentine's Day?
The Captain and Tennille were married on Valentine's Day.
What's that you said?
The Captain and Tennille were married on Valentine's Day.
A hundred and ten million red roses are sold in America every Valentine's Day.
- Sixty percent are produced in California. - Does he work for you? I mean...
I'm a florist.
I own Siena Bouquet, 2173 Rosewood.
- And what's your name, sir? - Reed Bennett.
- Hi. How are you? Sports guy. Sports. - Reed Bennett. Yeah, sports.
- Okay, from Santa Montica... - Siena Bouquet.
- Santa... What is it? Siena Bouquet. - Siena Bouquet.
In the Val... Off of Ventura.
Well, you do have a flaw after all.
- Oh, yeah? What's that? - Your job.
I thought women liked doctors.
We do like lab coats, but the flying around everywhere is not so good.
I'm only going to San Francisco for one night.
Couldn't somebody else do it, just tonight?
No, I'm the best.
If it's any consolation, when I'm fixing his heart...
...you can hold mine.
Oh. Thank you.
Hey, what are you doing? No. I can't miss my plane. No.
I can't believe you're leaving me on Valentine's Day.
- You said you had something to do. - I do have something.
I do have something to do. I just don't know that I wanna do it.
- You know my friend Kara? - Which one's Kara?
Neurotic, hot mess.
She throws this annual "I Hate Valentine's Day" dinner.
- It's a bit of a downer, actually. - What's there to hate?
Nothing, if you're a handsome, divorced doctor.
But for the rest of us single women, it's kind of a giant cosmic bitch slap.
It's the universe saying, "Look, remember when you were 14...
...and you had cystic acne and braces...
...and you played the saxophone in the band...
...and no one would invite you to the winter formal?
Well, nothing's changed."
I would crawl over cut glass to take you to the winter formal.
And then I would prescribe Retin-A for your skin.
That's why you're my valentine.
So we have a professional here.
I'm sure you've heard a lot of stories on Valentine's Day.
Do you still believe in love?
Hell, yes. Love is the only shocking act left on the planet.
Well, if he said it, folks, it must be true, because he is a florist.
What is it?
Oh, you're up.
- Did you get my good side? - I don't know. Roll over.
Last night...
Was...?
- Amazing. - Okay, thank you.
- Well, I used to be a gymnast. - Oh, well, that explains a lot.
Yeah, I didn't hurt you, right?
- You're so cute. - I thought you wanted to be a poet...
...not a photographer. - A girl can change her mind, Jason.
That's how last night happened.
- Anyway, I could not write that photo. - Okay, yeah. Um...
Is my nose kind of...? It looks kind of big for my face.
I think that's L.A. Talking. I think you have a great nose.
Oh, my God. Is that the time?
What? What? No, it's 3 minutes fast. I don't like being late.
- I have to go. I just... - Just like that?
Yeah, I'm sorry. I just... Skirt? Skirt, skirt, skirt.
What? Oh, right. I think I half-remember that.
- Three minutes? Why not 5 minutes ahead? - I don't wanna seem eager.
But, yeah, you know what? Stay.
Hang out for a little bit. Maybe we can grab breakfast.
- Oh, I knew it. I knew it. - What is that, techno?
- What? - The ring.
Oh, no, I think it's, like, a little more retro. It's kind of '70s.
Thank you so much for last night. I had a blast.
And there is fresh coffee for you in the kitchen.
- I think I'm out of coffee. - You were.
I borrowed some from your neighbour. She was surprised...
...you had female company, thought that you were gay.
Don't worry, I set her straight.
Bye.
Hi.
Oh, I was thinking about you all night long.
Oh, I'm sorry I didn't answer on the first ring.
It's not my fault.
I was thinking about what you were gonna do to me...
...and I just couldn't wait. I didn't have a free hand.
Oh, baby. You know just how Katia likes it. Mm.
Well, it's Valentine's Day, sugar.
How about something special?
My roommate just got home. Do you wanna have a threesome?
If he says yes, it'll take me a minute to change.
Ooh. I think that's a very good idea.
Edgar, we said we were not gonna give each other presents this year.
I know, I lied.
So did I.
Today's the day I make most of my dough. I deliver love-grams to businesses.
I even delivered a breakup-gram today.
Folks, from the chubby messenger of love himself...
...that Valentine's Day is about love.
It's about romance. It's about commercialism that...
- Found the glue, Grandma. - Well, good.
This is really a hard day for him...
...because they used to make handcrafted cards together.
Well, maybe we should've offered to do that with him.
I did.
But he said it was only fun when it was with his mother.
So, Edison...
...what are we doing for breakfast today? - I can't eat, Grandpa.
Who said that? So you can't eat?
What's the matter? What's the matter, you sick?
Yeah. Lovesick.
Julia, it's Reed. I've been trying to reach you.
Call me back, please.
Oh, boy. Oh.
- Hi. - Hi.
So my boyfriend texted me this morning.
And he was like, "Look outside your door."
Oh.
And... But, you know, I look outside my door...
...and my boyfriend's nowhere to be found.
Right.
- But there's this giant white bear. - Yeah, the bear.
- On the ground. The floor. - I get it.
- Yeah. Isn't that the sweetest thing ever? - Ever and ever.
Do you live here? In this building? Because I see you in the lobby all the time.
- Because I live here. - No, I just visit. Just visiting.
All right, well, I'm gonna go to school now.
Gonna take my bear with me.
- I hope you get a lot of valentines today. - Thanks.
Hello, everyone. This is your captain speaking.
On behalf of myself and the flight deck...
...we wanted to wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day.
Hope you had an opportunity to get a little rest.
But according to my digital readout here, we've still got another six hours...
...before we reach our final destination of Los Angeles...
...where the weather is expected to be warm and sunny after three days of rain.
- Oh, hello. - Hey.
- Hey, is Reed here, or is he on a run? - Yeah, he's in there.
- Okay. Hey, guys. - Hi, Julia.
- How was last night, brutal? - Yeah.
- Have you been up all night? - Hey.
- Wow, everybody's here today. - Oh, whose child is this? Hello?
- Oh, there's your mother. - Please hold.
- Hey, Nikki. - Good morning.
Oh, these are yellow. Where's Reed?
Your pal's in the café. The pastries were late.
Oh, yeah. I think he might be having a rough morning.
Hello, Siena Bouquet.
- Hey. Reed. - Just need...
We need the morning glories. Oh, there they are. Perfect. Great.
- Hey, I got your message. You okay? - Yeah.
- What happened? - Well, you just sounded like...
- You sounded like maybe she said... - "Yes."
- She said yes. - No.
Why doesn't anybody have confidence?
- She said yes? - Yes.
Oh, my goodness. Okay. I didn't... I didn't get it, but congratulations!
- Call me Mr. Engaged. - You're getting married.
Hi, I ordered some tulips.
Yes. You can't put the baby on the counter, it's dangerous.
- But I can't get my money out. - She should be off the counter. Thanks.
- Here, let me hold her. - Thank you.
- You should know we're Jewish. - God loves us all.
- Thank you. - Hello, Siena Bouquet.
He's the first decent guy I've dated in a long time.
It's going that well, huh?
I am so sick of dating. I'm so jealous of you guys.
When do I get to meet the phantom physician?
- I think soon. - You guys got plans tonight?
No. He has to go to San Francisco, so we're gonna talk on the phone.
You know what you should do?
You should fly up and surprise him.
- You think so? - Yeah. Why not?
- No. - Come on.
I don't know where he's staying...
You make a call, you find out. What's the big deal?
- God, you really think I should go? - Why not?
Come on, it's Valentine's Day. You don't think. You just do.
Go.
- Get out of here. - Congratulations.
- Hello there. - Hi.
Hey, honey. I'm just pulling into the airport.
I'll call you when I land, okay?
Okay, I get it. Okay, have a safe flight. I'll talk to you later. Bye.
Thanks. Bye-bye.
Hello. Good morning. I'm home.
- Hi, Daddy. - Hey, peanut.
Hi, sweetie.
- Did you fix all the broken hearts? - I did.
- Happy Valentine's Day.
Happy Valentine's Day to you.
- Surgery went late. I stayed at the condo. - I figured.
Doesn't Daddy juggle well?
Yeah.
What are you doing?
Sorry, l... Excuse me, I was trying to close the window.
I'm sorry.
No. For leaning on my shoulder? Come on, it's the least I could do. A 14-hour flight.
Oh, God, that's better.
- You on active duty? - Yes, sir.
- Two bars. Is that lieutenant? - Two bars is the captain.
You have a loved one in L.A.?
Well, I'm sure he'll be happy to see you.
How long...? How long has it been since you've been home?
Eleven months.
And how long do you get to stay?
Just till tomorrow.
Fourteen-hour flight both ways just for one night.
Wow, that's romantic.
You're a romantic. I mean, that's quite a gesture.
That's commitment.
You on Facebook?
- I need some chrysanthemums. - What? You should speak English.
- I had to learn when I came. - Chrysanthemums and calla lilies.
- I don't know what it... - Michael, calm down.
What language do you speak in?
I used to speak Bulgarian, but I'm an American citizen now.
Does anybody here speak English with a Bulgarian accent?
- Over here. I do. - There he is.
Bulgarize away. Here we go.
There she is! The future Mrs. Reed Bennett!
Oh, chrysanthemums.
- Hi, babe. - Hi, baby.
Hello, fiancée.
It sounds weird. Have you said it yet? Nikki, take over for a minute.
Come this way.
Wait, these are for you. I knew they were for somebody.
- Sarah, have you met my fiancée? - Hi, Morley.
- Hi. - I just like saying it. I feel so grown-up.
Next, please!
- Look what you forgot. - See, that is...
Is one empty hand.
Oh, yeah.
Don't be mad.
Mad? Why would I be mad? I'm concerned.
Well, just...
Do you have any idea what it would be like at work today if I wore that thing?
- I mean, people will be asking me... - "Where'd you get the big ring?"
You know, "How many bridesmaids?" And, "How did he do it?"
- "Gonna have kids? How many?" - Three.
- What? - Two dogs, and maybe some chickens.
- We can talk about it. We don't have to. - Sweetheart, I just think right now...
...it would be better if maybe we could just keep it a secret.
- Where are you from? - I am from Ruse.
All right, you guys can start a Bulgarian village together. All right.
Oh, my God, look, there's the bride. Hi.
Listen, I called my BFF, Tony. He is already on the dress.
He does all the gowns in Vegas. Cher, Celine, Carrot Top.
This is going to be so much fun! Oh, my God, it's...
- Breathe, breathe. - I have to breathe.
Okay.
- See what I mean? - Yep, I get it.
So...
...love is the problem?
- Did you ever have it? - Oh, yeah.
How old were you when you got it?
Let's see. I'd just started working at an architectural firm...
...and there was this beautiful young girl, and she was studying to be an actress.
Was your heart kind of going:
Yeah. Yeah, just that way. It went, bumpada, bumpada, bumpada, boom.
You betcha. Just like that.
One day I got up the courage to introduce myself.
I walk out, walked right up to her and opened my mouth and...
...nothing comes out. - Nothing?
Nothing. Not a peep. But she's just waiting for me to say something, I'm like a statue.
So finally she says, "All right, I'll meet you here at 6:30."
She knew what you were going to say.
Yep. Yeah. She's been reading my mind like that for 51 years.
The pretty girl was Grandma, right?
The pretty girl is Grandma, right?
- When are we gonna get there, Grandpa? - Coming up to Moorpark.
Making a left turn right here. What's Moorpark spelled backwards?
- I don't know. - "Kraproom."
- Grandpa. - And don't say that in school.
Hello, Siena Bouquet.
- I'll come with you on runs. - You got it.
But we gotta hustle. They're flying in now.
I'm always hustling, baby.
No, no, no. Like, "hustle" hustle. Like, no, don't dilly-dally, okay?
Let me tell you, I don't dilly-dally.
- I only upsy-daisy. - All right.
Crazy businessman.
This guy, like, he wants to give family discounts to his 30 cousins.
What is this? What have you got going...?
Excuse me. Can I help you?
I'd like to send a dozen of those to the best girl at my school.
- And this musical card. - A dozen of those with thi...?
This... It's...
Okay.
- All right, where am I sending these to? - Falcon Crest Elementary.
You can MapQuest it.
I actually know where it's at. I got a friend that goes there.
Cool. During recess would be the best time.
When you get there, just hand me the flowers, and I'll do the rest.
- Okay? - I'll be there. Thank you, sir.
What's up with the cutest kid in the world coming in here?
And he shorted me. He just gave me, like, 15 bucks for a $55 arrangement.
- Could I please have my receipt? - What, did you get audited last year?
I did.
They always get the good guys, I'm telling you. Here.
Thanks.
So, like, last night, amazing.
This morning, she couldn't get away fast enough.
Any chance there was a little, shall we say, disappointment on her part?
No. What? No. None.
At all.
- Well... No, no, no. It was fine. - Fine's not good enough, dude.
It was better than fine. It was a solid A.
Minus. B plus, A minus. A minus.
I hate Valentine's Day.
Why can't these guys deliver their flowers to their girlfriends themselves?
- Wait, what? - They just dump them in the mailroom.
I mean, if they don't wanna take the time to...
- It's Valentine's Day today? - Hello?
Happy Valentine's Day.
Wha...? No, it's a Monday. Valentine's Day always falls on a Thursday.
That's Thanksgiving, Hoosier-head.
- Really? - You're 25. You thought that for 25 years?
Dude, he's from Indiana. They only celebrate Love Your Cousin Day.
No, you're thinking of Kentucky. Of course Liz was acting weird this morning.
You do have something planned for tonight, right?
How could I have something planned for tonight? I didn't even know until right now.
I can do my lunch break, and I can do after 5?
Okay, great.
No, no, no. I don't mind people with fetishes.
No, no, no, very creative people. I gotta put you on hold, sorry.
Good morning.
- You're a strong, confident person. - Good morning. Who are you?
I am Liz. I am one of the receptionists. I'm subbing for Monica.
Oh, yeah, Monica, because she wanted today off.
Shit, she has a life.
She had a funeral, which is a life, I guess.
Well, Liz, I'm Paula.
I know they call me Bipolar Paula. Don't. But you should know I'm in crisis.
- Okay. - I don't wanna talk about it.
- Okay. - It has nothing to do with being alone...
...on Valentine's Day. - Of course not.
And everything to do with the client in crisis.
- That sounds challenging. - "Challenging"?
Gotta figure out if he still has an athletic career.
If he doesn't, big fat problemo.
Well, I'm here to help you solve that problem.
Who's on hold?
My mother.
I'm sorry.
Hangs up on her own mother.
That's cold.
We might just get along.
Hello, I'm Hannah Storm.
And with football season officially over...
...the only lingering question is: What will Sean Jackson do?
A devastating loss in the championship game last week...
...leaves his future in question.
His contract is up, and at age 35...
...he's one of the oldest quarterbacks in the league.
Does his team want him back?
Of course I want Sean Jackson back. But it's not my decision.
If not, will he test the waters of free agency?
Or will he make this easier on everyone...
...and just retire?
Come on, Hannah. Lighten up.
Hi, neighbour!
- Hey, Sean. - Hey, girls.
Hey, when are you gonna come over for a swim?
Oh, sorry, sweetie. I got lots going on today.
- I'm running out of patience. - And I'm running out of willpower.
But right now, I gotta make a call.
No. Uh-oh.
Help, Heather!
I'm coming, I'm coming! Yeah, hello?
Kara, it's Sean.
Hi, hi. What's going on? What's going on?
- Media blitz on my career has begun. - Yes, I know. Are you okay?
Of course I'm okay. It comes with the territory.
What I'd love is for my highly paid publicist to take care of it.
I'm on it. I've got my people standing by and a press release ready to go.
- What else? - I got a meeting with my agent today.
I want you to meet me there in about an hour. You'll be there?
Hello? Hello? Did I lose you?
Malibu. You pay a fortune to be here to get crappy cell phone reception.
No, no. I'm here. I'm here. I'll be at the meeting.
Outstanding.
Drumline, keep your eyes on Scotty.
Registration for the AP exam is due next week, so don't flake.
Hey, Grace.
I was thinking of putting together just a little test-prep group for the class...
...and I was hoping I could pick your brain about what to focus on...
...since you've taken the test, and I've... I haven't.
- Yeah, yeah. You know, no problem. - Oh, great. How about today after school?
You know, I can't today. I nanny after school.
How about today at lunch?
Uh. See, normally that would work for me...
...but today at lunch, I'm gonna have sex with my boyfriend for the first time.
- First time having sex for both of us. - That is quite a special time for you.
It's Valentine's Day, we're in love, we're both 18...
...and I just want it to be special and...
The point is, my parents work, so they'll be gone during lunch.
Lunch is the only time it can work out. You know, I'm free tomorrow lunchtime.
- Lunchtime tomorrow, I'll definitely be free. - Oh, you'll be done having sex by then?
- Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow. It'll be good. - All right.
Bye.
Come sign the latte petition. Right here, kids.
- Yeah. Right here. - Okay.
- You're gonna eat first? - No.
No? Maybe some Gatorade.
That's... Yeah, I don't wanna get dehydrated.
- You're not gonna eat lunch? - No. No lunch.
- Well, did you have a big breakfast? - No.
Do pushups. I'm telling you, I do them before I run.
- What? Pushups make you run faster? - No. Makes you look better.
I'll get you a sandwich when you come back.
- Yeah, thanks. That's a good idea. - Save the lattes.
They're putting lattes in the vending machines? Finally.
- Hey. - So I'm gonna go to English...
...and then I'm gonna go set up. - I'll see you there.
All right.
Thank you, Felicia.
Mr. Schwabbe, I'm so glad you're taking care of this.
- You got it. - And I like caramel lattes...
...just, like, FYI. - Duly noted.
Have fun at lunch!
What do you think?
We're gonna wait.
I think we should just, like, enjoy this time.
- Yeah. Okay. Good. - Did you like your gift?
- I didn't open it yet. - You need to open it.
It's... It's my track shirt.
Yeah, but I ironed on your lucky number on the back.
Thirteen.
But that's your lucky number.
You don't even like it.
- No. No, I love it. I can't wait to wear it. - Okay.
- Try it on now, then. - Now?
- Yeah. - Well...
...you know, a little uncomfortable taking my shirt off in public.
- But, hey, I'll wear it later, okay? - Okay.
Are you gonna carry it around all day?
Shut up.
- Let's see if this fits in my locker. - Right.
This is his fifth paternity test. What are we talking about?
So I spoke with the GM. They passed.
Passed?
We got to the playoffs. I was all-league.
They decided to go another way. They're chasing that kid from Alabama.
I'm working on a press release saying it was a mutual parting.
- Well, so now what? - Well, we... We look for another team.
I don't know. Maybe I'm done.
- You're not done. - Absolutely not.
And I'm not speaking as someone who makes a lot of money off of you.
I'm speaking as your fan.
Right now, you can still make a ton of money doing what you love.
Well, the problem is, Paula, it's not the only thing I want out of life.
A relationship. Kids.
Well, you can still have that and play football.
Look, I'm not complaining. I've been lucky. But...
So, what is he telling me? What are we gonna do?
I think we should take a beat and let Sean think about what he wants.
- Right? - Right.
We have no time for thinking.
Put it on their tab.
- Come on! - Ha-ha-ha!
- That's seven in a row. - It's amazing.
You are like... This woman's a shark.
- You are good at this game. - Not really.
Just witnessed a tactical game of reading your opponent and adjusting accordingly.
Wait, are you saying that you're reading me?
Thank you.
- Happy Valentine's Day. - Oh, thank you.
Yes, I can read you. It's part of my training.
Everyone gives subtle hints.
- Hints? Like what? - Giveaways.
You boarded the plane wearing a suit but no wedding ring.
Serious, but not committed.
You let a stranger sleep on your shoulder.
Kindness, but also feels good to be needed.
The heart-shaped candy. Another giveaway.
Either you have a problem with sugar, which, based on the syrup...
...you put on your pancakes, I wouldn't think so.
Or you have a problem with candy in the shape of a heart.
Which means you might have a problem with romance...
...and things pertaining to this day in particular.
Not bad, soldier.
Okay, Edison. Thank you very much.
Now you all have seen how to properly place your valentines...
...into our fabulous envelopes, go ahead. Great.
And while you are doing that quietly, a little history about Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day was a massacre in Chicago where they shot everybody...
...and put a curse on the Chicago Cubs.
Thank you, Franklin, but this is a different Valentine's Day. Lose the hat.
Okay, in ancient Rome...
...Emperor Claudius II, who was also known as Claudius the Cruel.
Claudius the Cruel banned all marriages...
...because he wanted his soldiers to concentrate on war.
But there was a priest who was known as Valentine...
...who secretly married everyone anyway because he believed in love.
Claudius found out about the marriages, and he threw Valentine in jail...
Girls. I'm watching you.
Thank you.
Anyway, on February the 14th, Valentine wrote a note to his beloved...
...and he signed it: "Farewell, from your Valentine."
Let's see. Are there any questions?
Franklin, I can't wait to hear this. Go ahead.
Miss Fitzpatrick, are you in love with anyone?
I saw you on TV today.
- Was it on? - Yeah, that's why I'm here.
Yes. We're famous!
- Yay, we're famous. - Yes.
So you're the owner, I take it.
Yeah, tech... Yes. My grandfather actually started it in Italy.
Yeah, my dad brought it over, but now I got the shop.
That's great. It's a family business.
Look, I hate to play this card, but I'm a doctor.
I have surgery in an hour and a half. Is there any way you could help me?
- Say no more. - Thank you.
Could I get an order form, please, for the great doctor here?
I need two arrangements.
Something special, long-stemmed roses for each one of my...
...ladies.
I need your discretion.
We have an understanding, right?
I understand. There's a florist code.
Great. Here's the credit card. And here are the addresses.
These are the addresses for the ladies.
- Harrison Copeland? - Yes, you need... You want some ID?
Nope. Should be good. Uh...
Okay, this Julia Fitzpatrick, that would be your...
...girlfriend.
- Yes. - And this Pamela Copeland...
...it's the same last name as you. Would that be your wife?
Yes.
I thought we had some sort of code, understanding.
The code is the code. I just wanna make sure that your understanding...
...is the same understanding as my understanding. Understand?
- Yeah, can you run the card, please? - Yep.
Thank you. I have to get my wallet. I'll be right back.
- Wish me luck. - All us virgins are pulling for you.
If you need any help, text me.
Pushkin.
Good girl. Go play.
Pushkin, no. Downstairs, Pushkin.
One...
Oh, Grace When I saw your face
Oh, Grace
Hey, you. Come on. Mommy's home for a minute.
Wha...? Come on, sweetie.
Made my heart race Like a high-speed chase
- Grace - Grace?
Oh, my...! Alex!
- Holy... Mrs. Smart. Oh, my gosh! - What are you doing here?
I'm rehearsing!
- Naked? - Naked! Yes!
It's... It's experiment...
I'm doing an... Experimental show. It's very, very avant-garde type of thing.
And the... Oh, shit! I mean, excuse me!
- It's okay. I've heard the word before. - Not shit!
God, look at the time. I gotta go. Thank you for everything, though.
- I'm so sorry! - It's okay.
- Are you okay? - Please! Do not come closer.
This does not look right, Alex.
- Thanks for everything and... - Oh, my God.
- No, Pushkin. Pushkin, no. - Pushkin. Pushkin.
That's okay. You know what, I'm gonna just...
All right. Breathe. Oh, my goodness. All right.
See you very soon, Mrs. Smart! Bye-bye.
Alex, honey, cover your hoo-hoo!
- Grace! Grace! - What are you doing? What happened?
- Mom. - What, your mom?
- Yeah, sure. My mom was at your house. - Wha...?
- My mom. What did you say? - That I was rehearsing.
Naked? Did she buy it?
I think so. My fear made me very convincing.
I wrote you a song.
If you do that again, Vladimir...
...I will have no choice but to get down off my horse...
...and punish you. - Hello? Who wants a valentine?
I am wearing my thigh-high black leather boots...
...carrying my riding crop.
Now pull down your pants and bend over.
I think this floor has the most valentines.
What a sweet little pink ass you have.
And I will beat it with my crop...
...until you submit to me, you filthy peasant.
I will beat it, and beat it, and beat it, and beat it.
Thank you for calling Naughty Nymphos.
The charge will appear on your credit card as Vague Entertainment.
Hi there!
Hi. Well, if it isn't the gymnast.
Well... Yes.
To paraphrase some poet:
"There's a hell of a nice universe next door.
- Let's go." - E. E. Cummings.
Yeah, E. E. Good stuff. Yeah. Good stuff.
- I think you said he was your favourite. - Yes.
I did say he was my favourite. He had me at the font.
I feel, like, so stupid for forgetting that it's Valentine's Day today.
- Oh, no. It's really not a big deal. - You know what, it is to me.
So can I take you out tonight?
Yes. That would be wonderful. Yes.
- How fast does that cart go? - Well, let's find out.
Liz...
...there's a man on line 2 asking me to cover him up in Vaseline and bubble wrap.
I'll take care of that. Damn prank callers.
And he doesn't have a Russian accent, so I don't think you'll need your horse.
- You heard that? - It's my phone line.
Oh, Paula. I'm so sorry. I am so sorry.
Am I fired?
It's cool. You got a way with dirty words, I like that.
Just make sure you answer my calls first.
Absolutely. Oh, you do not have to worry about...
...that.
Probably not gonna make Employee of the Month.
You're listening to "Mike and Mike in the Morning" on ESPN...
...America's number one sports talk show.
And, Greeny, the news of the hour: Sean Jackson, now a free agent.
- What's he supposed to do? - Maybe he can check out Craigslist...
...see who's hiring.
Oh, man. Hey, man, you see this?
You did this. Man, you're gonna pay for this.
Easy, big fella. I know it was my fault.
If you just call my business manager, he's got all my information.
And I'll have my business manager call your business manager, okay?
Sean Jackson. Oh, man, my neck. Oh, and my back.
And my chest. I'm just kidding.
- Whoa, dude, will you sign my hat? - Sure.
Thirty-five completions, three touchdowns on the ground.
They think you should hang it up. That's gratitude for you.
Well, thanks, buddy.
But that door's pretty messed up. You got another truck?
Yeah, but I'm already behind.
Valentine's Day is kind of a big day flower-wise.
I don't know why people get flowers delivered. You can give them yourself.
Some folks like to get flowers at the workshop.
To some people, love doesn't exist unless you acknowledge it in front of other people.
You're a superstar, Sean. Drive better.
Yeah, Kara, it's me. Listen, I know what I wanna do.
I think.
Oh, no, man, not today.
So, what do I do?
Do I tell her and break her heart, or keep it to myself and stay out of it?
- It's none of my business. - You want my opinion?
Yes. No.
Well, it depend... What's your opinion?
Ask yourself, if the situation was reversed...
...what would you want her to do?
- Why you gotta be so sensitive? - It's because you're so fragile.
Okay, so a neutral chlorine atom has 17 protons and 17 electrons.
And, if these two atoms become...
- Hi. - This order came into the shop for you.
- I thought I'd deliver it myself. - Hey, guys, this is my friend, Reed.
- Say hi. - Hi, Reed.
Take a look at chapter 10, section two. Just, quietly, to yourselves.
They're from Harrison. Did he come into the shop?
Did you meet him?
I kind of need to talk to you. Do you have a second?
Yeah, sure.
Edison, you're in charge.
- Recess. Let's party. - Sit down, and be quiet. Got that?
I'm just glad you got to see them. They're so cute.
- Yeah. They're great. - Hey, guess what.
I got a flight. I'm leaving at 5:30. I'll be there by dinner.
You know what, actually, I don't think it's a good idea.
- Why? It was your idea. - Well, sometimes I have bad ideas.
It was a genius idea.
- Mr. Bouquet, what about my flowers? - Is everything okay?
- I gave you $13. - Oh, right. I remember.
Yeah, they're probably on the truck. Don't worry, man, they'll be here soon.
Edison, I've known Mr. Bouquet for a long, long time.
If he tells you your flowers are gonna be here, then they will be here.
Just give me 30 seconds. Hold down the fort. I'll be right back.
Don't get on the plane.
Why not?
You're sweet.
Is this because Harrison came into the shop?
And it made you realize that things could change between us.
No, it's not about me.
Because up to now, all these years, I've just been there for you.
And with Morley, if she works late...
...if you wanna see a bad movie she doesn't wanna see...
...or if you wanna have junk food that she's not gonna have...
...I'm clearly your go-to girl. - And you're the best.
And now, there's this guy in the mix. And he's not just a guy...
...he's a man.
- You're afraid he's gonna steal me? - No. When he came in...
Because, listen, since l...
- I'm your buddy. Don't worry. - I know.
I'm not going anywhere.
But thanks for coming. I'll call you later.
Hey, what's happening in here? Get back in your seat!
What in the... Stop that.
Get back. That is enough.
Have you lost your minds? To your seat. That's it, that's it.
I can't talk right now! I'll have to call you later!
Break it up. Let's go. Come on.
Stop it. Stop looking at me like that. I tried to tell her.
Not hard enough, Reed.
- You don't know. - Oh, I don't know?
No, you've never seen her sad.
She looks like an abandoned puppy dog when she cries.
I'm not gonna do that to her.
Especially not today. I'm not gonna ruin Valentine's Day for her.
I know what day it is. We got a van full of flowers. At least hurry up. We're behind.
You can't rush love.
I'm gonna drop this off in the bedroom before Morley gets home. I'll be right back.
He's not gonna hurry.
I'm gonna fish.
- Hey, how was your day? - Go, go.
- What...? - Go!
No, wait.
- I want to get out of here. - Okay, breathe. Like I taught you.
All right, now tell me what's wrong.
She doesn't know I love her.
She didn't get her flowers. She doesn't know.
I need to make things right. Will you please help me, Grace? Please?
Of course. But first, soccer.
Hang on. Okay, I can hear you now.
Okay. It's gonna be me all alone at my own party.
Nobody R.S.V.P.'s. It's L.A. Everyone wants you to think they have a life.
- I hate you being so in love. - Oh, I know. Thank you.
Speaking of which, I am going to San Francisco. Sorry I won't be there.
Whack the heart for me, honey. I gotta go. Bye.
Carmine, relax. It's me.
- Hey. - Reed.
What are you doing here? Are you okay? Is it...?
I'm sorry.
I love you.
But I'm just not ready for this kind of commitment.
And I didn't know that this morning.
No, it's okay.
I shouldn't have rushed it. We can wait.
You didn't do anything wrong.
I shouldn't have been surprised when you asked.
I should be thinking about our future together.
But I'm still focused on my future.
Look, you can still have your career, baby.
We're getting married. We're not becoming monks or something.
And then there's the whole thing with my parents' horrible...
Your parents? Wait a second. Just because your parents had a bad divorce...
...does not mean that you're going to have a bad divorce.
They're not hereditary. It's not like it's contagious, all right?
You're not getting it.
You know, the first phone call I made after you proposed was to my office.
To confirm my 10:00 meeting.
It's really beautiful.
For someone else.
Don't worry. It's...
Me and Carmine will be fine. Won't we?
Won't we, Carmine?
Right, baby?
Carmine, come. Come here.
