Valentine's Day Page #11

I know. I know.

But this was really important.

- Dhe had to get her flowers.

- Is everything okay?

- Yeah. I'm his babysitter.

- I'm his florist.

Look. I'm glad you're okay.

Do you want me to come in there

with you?

No. I think this is one of those things

I have to do myself.

REDMOND:

I've been driving Holden for a long time.

He's never given his car up for anybody.

You must be pretty special.

YOUNG EDTELLE [ON FILM]: Over?

Why do you keep talking like it's over?

I love you.

EDTELLE:

Edgar!

- Hey. Get out of the way!

- I'll always love you.

- Edgar!

WOMAN 1:
Excuse me.

Down in front!

Edgar. Where are you?

I know you're out there.

PEOPLE:

Dhh!

MAN 1:
Who the hell is Edgar?

- He is my husband. And shut your mouth.

- Edgar. Answer me.

WOMAN 2:
Answer her. Edgar.

MAN 2:
Lady. I can't see through you.

- Edgar. Where are you?

- Estelle!

- Edgar. Answer me.

- Estelle!

- That must be Edgar.

I'm here! I'm coming.

[GROAND]

Dorry.

- I see.

MAN 3:
Hey. Run lower!

Listen to me. I know I let you down.

Maybe you don't think

I deserve forgiveness...

...but you're gonna give it to me anyway.

Because when you love someone...

...you love all of them. That's the job.

EDGAR:
I know that now.

EDTELLE:

I'm so sorry.

And now. Please. You gotta love

everything about them.

Not just the good things.

But the bad things too.

The things that you find lovable.

And the things that you don't find lovable.

Dhh. I understand.

I'll never leave you.

[DINGING]

At first I was afraid, I was petrified

Kept thinking I could never live

Without you by my side

[DINGING] Then I spent so many nights

Thinking how you did me wrong

And I grew strong

And I learned how to get along

And so you're back from outer space

Julia. I found this little friend of Rani's.

And I think he's looking for you.

I'm not little.

Edison. Are you okay?

Does somebody know that you're here?

Yeah. My babysitter's outside.

Okay.

- Oh, now go

- Go

- Walk out the door

- Out that door

Just turn around now

This is for you.

- For me?

- You're my valentine.

Thank you.

Oh. This is beautiful.

Wha...?

Are you sure that I am really the person

that you wanna give this to?

Yeah. I mean. I think so.

Why?

Well. When you pick a valentine you have to

be sure that you choose the right person.

Or else you could be overlooking someone

who's even more special to you.

Rani? But I don't love her. I love you.

Is it our age difference

that keeps you from going:

Boom. Boom. Boom.

Yeah. A little bit.

Is it my height? Because I'm gonna grow.

Well. Then. No. It's not your height.

It's just it wouldn't be right.

Because I know Rani likes you.

Really?

Well. I like her a lot too.

Dhe's the only other fifth-grader

who has Frank Zappa on her iPod.

- Dee?

- And she loves giraffes.

Dee. Giraffes. It's something you guys

have in common.

Dee. It's things like that

that can turn a friend...

...from someone that you like

into someone that you love.

Has that ever happened to you.

Miss Fitzpatrick?

Hello?

Hey, hey

Back to the chocolate!

I am the chocolate.

Oh. You are.

Thank you so much for coming.

You are the most special valentine

I have ever had.

- But it was great. And bye.

- Bye.

- Don't know how to do that.

- I'll teach you.

- There you go. Right on... There it is. Close.

- Okay.

I know. You gotta go to work.

Bolly. Bolly!

[ANJU RAMAPRIYAM'D "DIGNED DEALED

DELIVERED I'M YOURD" PLAYING]

Here. Happy Valentine's Day.

I don't usually go for girls my own age.

But you're pretty cool.

Wow. Thanks.

I don't really have anything else to say.

Now I'm wondering

If your love's still strong

Here I am

Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours

[PHONE CHIMED]

I saw Edison.

I tipped the valet

to keep an eye on him.

I have the delivery van

set up over there.

We could take a trip to Mulholland.

Come check it out.

- Alex. Can I be honest with you?

- I love it when you're honest.

I don't know if I'm ready for this.

- Lie to me.

- No. Iook. I'm serious.

Signed, sealed, delivered

KARA:

I'm gonna go now.

Signed, sealed, delivered

KARA:

Bye.

I guess that I thought that if we did this.

We'd have this special bond...

...and now I'm realizing that something

like this you can't just plan. You know?

It has to happen.

I mean. We have a chance

to make it happen.

But did you hear what you said.

"Make it happen"?

We shouldn't have to make it happen.

Look. Sit.

This is so sweet. And...

Look. Alex. I love you. I just...

I really think we should wait.

I'm sorry.

ALEX:

It's okay. I love you too.

And...

...we can still make out.

Bye.

[PHONE CHIMED]

[PHONE RINGD]

Paula Thomas. Whoever this is better have

a good reason for calling me this late.

You want me to do what?

Boy. Do you know who you're talking to?

Oh-ho-ho-ho.

Vladimir.

Well. Let me tell you something. Vladimir.

You don't know what rough is

until you've dealt with a true African queen.

Let me get my stick.

Kneel to Nzinga!

Attention. I'm going home now.

But I wanted to say goodnight

to the world's greatest boss...

...and tell him that we all love him.

Good night. Nikki.

You saw.

Yeah.

I'd like to take to comment

on the story that we broke earlier.

Quarterback sensation Dean Jackson...

...has popped the lock on the closet

and come out.

What does this mean? Will there be more

house music played in the locker room?

These questions aside. Mr. Jackson's

name is likely to be remembered...

...alongside Jackie Robinson.

Muhammad Ali. And Billie Jean King...

...who endured their share

of trash-talking as well.

But let's allow future generations to decide

where to place Dean Jackson in history.

But let's be clear: It's not about defiance...

...it's about what a man will do for love.

I stand behind you. Dean. Metaphorically.

- Oh. Jeez.

KELVIN:
Thank you.

Good night.

DHERRY:

And that's it for tonight's news.

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you.

Dherry Donaldson for KVLA. Channel 13.

- Good. Hey. Man.

- Excellent.

- Hey. Way to go. Bro.

WOMAN:
Cue music. Cue logo.

You sneaky little cupid.

You got romantic after all. Didn't you?

I may get a few letters on that.

But I got your back.

- Thank you.

- Happy Valentine's Day. Kelvin.

Dame to you.

Well. Those stairs never looked so good.

Interesting perspective on Dean Jackson.

[KNOCKING]

Just a second.

Who is it?

You forgot your camera.

Can I come in?

Dure.

Jason. I feel bad about

how you found out about my job.

It was awkward. And I'm sorry.

But that is the only thing

that I apologize for.

No. I should be the one apologizing.

If you want to be

a adult phone entertainer...

...that's cool.

I don't know. Jason.

When you found out something about me

you didn't like. You judged me and bailed.

I don't think that's a promising

foundation for a relationship.

You know what? You're right.

I just spent all night in a cemetery.

And I actually learned something.

In a relationship...
