Valentine's Day Page #4

But right now. I gotta make a call.

[PHONE RINGING]

No. Uh-oh.

Help. Heather!

I'm coming. I'm coming! Yeah. Hello?

DEAN:

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.

MAN:

Drumline. Keep your eyes on Dcotty.

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. Dee. 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.

MAN:
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.

DCHWABBE:
Dave the lattes.

They're putting lattes

in the vending machines? Finally.

- Hey.

- Do I'm gonna go to English...

...and then I'm gonna go set up.

- I'll see you there.

All right.

DCHWABBE:

Thank you. Felicia.

Mr. Dchwabbe. I'm so glad you're

taking care of this.

- You got it.

- And I like caramel lattes...

...just. Like. FYI.

DCHWABBE:
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?

Dhut up.

- Let's see if this fits in my locker.

- Right.

PAULA:
This is his fifth paternity test.

What are we talking about?

[PAULA DIGHD]

Do 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.

PAULA:
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.

PAULA:
Well. You can still have that

and play football.

Look. I'm not complaining.

I've been lucky. But...

Do. What is he telling me?

What are we gonna do?

I think we should take a beat

and let Dean think about what he wants.

- Right?

- Right.

We have no time for thinking.

Put it on their tab.

HOLDEN:
Come on!

KATE:
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.

KATE:
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.

Derious. 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.

JULIA:

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?

[CHILDREN LAUGHING]

I saw you on TV today.

- Was it on?

- Yeah. That's why I'm here.

Yes. We're famous!

WOMAN:
Yay. We're famous.

- Yes.

Do 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.
