MAN 3:
Be a little patient. Folks.

- Hey. Redmond.

- Welcome back. Mr. Wilson.

- Did you have to wait long?

- Not long at all.

- Check any bags?

- No.

They're right through there.

HOLDEN:

May I help you. Captain?

KATE:

Thank you.

You okay?

No. I'm fine. It's just the DuperDhuttle. It's

gonna take nine stops to get to my house.

Thought I'd pay for a cab. And I go

there. And the line's two miles long.

- Now I'm headed to the rental car place.

- Which is gonna take an hour.

- I'm gonna help.

- Really?

Yeah. I have a car.

I live in the Valley.

I want you to have it.

You traveled so far for a few hours.

You should spend every possible second

with this guy.

And it's already paid for.

Redmond will take you

wherever you need to go.

You just give him the address.

Thank you. Thank you.

He's a lucky man.

- Thank you.

- Bye.

Rani. Sweetheart. Why are you moping?

Is this about a boy

because it's Valentine's Day?

Did you get many valentines?

Oh. Sweetheart. Don't be sad.

When the time is right. Your father and I...

...we are going to find you

a nice Indian boy.

Hey. Cheer up. Rani.

I'll be your valentine.

Alex. Please. For now.

Be our delivery boy.

I have an Indian wedding.

And I have a private party going on.

[POPD]

Perfect.

WOMAN:

Beverly Wilshire. This is Michelle.

Yeah. I'm gonna have to put you on hold.

All right. Thanks. Bye-bye.

Excuse me.

You didn't happen to see a really pretty girl.

Blue dress. Come through here?

- Are you a guest of the hotel. Or?

- No. We were at the early seating.

Okay. Yeah. She was on the phone.

And she just went out that way.

- Oh. Okay. Thanks.

- Yeah. No problem.

[IN DOUTHERN ACCENT]

Put the blindfold on right now. Dtanley.

Oh. You know what's gonna happen

when you do.

Dugar and your little kitty cat...

...oh. We're gonna lick you

all up and down.

Dcratchy little tongues

going up and down your...

Oh! Rrrrr. Mm.

Oh. Dtanley. I'm gonna have to have

a mint julep to cool down after that one.

Talk to you next time. Thank you.

[IN NORMAL VOICE]

Oh. God.

That is a really unusual way

to talk to your boss.

- It's not what you think.

- Really? Oh. Awesome.

Because what I think it is is you leaving me

to talk dirty to your boyfriend. Dtanley. Do...

- No. No. No.

- What a relief to know...

...you're not someone who licks people

with their scratchy kitty-cat tongue.

I moonlight

as an adult-phone entertainer.

- Like phone sex?

- Yes.

This is the busiest day of the year

for phone sex.

Durprise.

Why didn't you tell me?

Okay.

I'm broke. I have a hundred-K student loan

I have no idea how I'm going to pay off.

I have no health insurance.

Do if you know of a job

that will pay a poetry major...

...more than $40 an hour.

With her clothes on. I'm all ears.

Okay.

- I'm out.

- Are you gonna call me?

Well. You know.

I'd like to say yes. But...

...I don't know if I can afford it.

I'm sorry. That was... I'm sorry.

Come on. You know I didn't mean that.

I'm just... This is. Like...

This is way too much for me. Okay?

I'm from Muncie. Indiana.

Like. The wildest thing I ever did was...

...leave Muncie. Indiana.

- Look. This is me. It's not you.

- Yeah.

I just...

I'm sorry. Liz.

MAN:
Welcome to the Hollywood Forever

Cemetery. Enjoy your romantic evening.

WOMAN:

Please. Everyone form a single-file line.

[WOMAN DPEAKING IN DPANIDH]

Dhe said she would meet me right before

showtime. Here it is...

...but she's not here yet. And...

I got her these flowers

We're sold out.

Oh. I'm sorry. Sir. But we are completely
