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...

Dkirt? Dkirt. Skirt. Skirt.

[WHIDTLED]

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? Dtay.

Hang out for a little bit.

Maybe we can grab breakfast.

[RINGTONE PLAYING

ON PHONE]

LIZ:
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 neighbor.

Dhe was surprised...

...you had female company.

Thought that you were gay.

Don't worry. I set her straight.

Bye.

[RINGTONE PLAYING

ON PHONE]

[IN DOFT VOICE]

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.

[LAUGHD]

Edgar. We said we were not gonna

give each other presents this year.

I know. I lied.

- Do did I.

- Wow.

Today's the day I make most of my dough.

I deliver love-grams to businesses.

I even delivered a breakup-gram today.

KELVIN:
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.

EDTELLE:
Well. Good.

This is really a hard day for him...

...because they used to make

handcrafted cards together.

EDGAR:
Well. Maybe we should've offered

to do that with him.

EDTELLE:

I did.

But he said it was only fun

when it was with his mother.

EDGAR:

Do. Edison...

...what are we doing for breakfast today?

- I can't eat. Grandpa.

Who said that? Do you can't eat?

What's the matter?

What's the matter. You sick?

Yeah. Lovesick.

REED [ON RECORDING]: Julia, it's Reed.

I've been trying to reach you.

Call me back, please.

Oh. Boy. Oh.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Do 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.

MAN [OVER DPEAKERD]: 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.

- Well. You just sounded like...

- You sounded like maybe she said...

- "Yes."

- Dhe said yes.

- No.

Why doesn't anybody have confidence?

- Dhe 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.

- Dhe should be off the counter. Thanks.

NUN:
God loves us all.

- Thank you.

MAN 3:
Hello. Diena 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 Dan 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.

[LAUGHD]

Go.

- Get out of here.

- Congratulations.

Thanks. Bye-bye.

Hello. Good morning. I'm home.

OLIVIA:
Hi. Daddy.

HARRIDON:

Hi. Sweetie.

HARRIDON:

Happy Valentine's Day to you.

Doesn't Daddy juggle well?

OLIVIA:
Yeah.

PAMELA:
Mm-hm.

What are you doing?

Dorry. 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?

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.

Wow. 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?

WOMAN:
I need some chrysanthemums.

- I don't know what it...
