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...

[CHILDREN CHATTERING]

- 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... Dtop 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.

Dtop it. Dtop 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.

Dhe 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.

[BELL RINGD]

- 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.

Dhe doesn't know I love her.

Dhe didn't get her flowers.

Dhe 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.D.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.

Dpeaking of which. I am going to

Dan Francisco. Dorry I won't be there.

Whack the heart for me. Honey.

I gotta go. Bye.

[DOG BARKING]

REED:

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.

Okay. All right. Yeah. Okay...

Did you even consider marrying me?

Of course I did.

But when you ask a girl to marry you.

Do you want her to just consider it?

Or do you want her to just know?

MAN [ON RADIO]:

It's Romeo Midnight, back again.

And if those topsy-turvy feelings

have got you twisted inside-out...

... think of the poet Rumi,

who 800 years ago said:

"All we really want

is love's confusing joy."

Amen, brother.

Dhe was there. Huh?

Is that it?

Do this. You believe.

You don't buy it

when she says yes to me...

...but when she dumps me...

...that you can wrap your head around.

I had a feeling.

- Excuse me?

- That it wasn't right. Reed.

- Man. You know. An inkling.

- An inkling?

You had an inkling.

And you kept it to yourself?

[DPEAKING IN DPANIDH]

You don't keep inklings to yourself.

You share them. You're like:

"Hey. Guy. I got an inkling...

...you're headed for a fall here."

That's what friends do.

That's common knowledge.

It's in the damn handbook.

I'm sorry. Reed. You're right.

I gotta stop Julia. Don't I?

If it's the damn handbook.

I think you better.

Now. Let's go.

WOMAN:

Next.

JULIA:
I'm going to visit my boyfriend.

I'm surprising him.

- Oh. Yeah. Guys love surprises.

- Is that sarcasm?

I surprised my husband once.

Now he's my ex-husband.

- Oh. That sucks...

- Yes. Never touch security. Ma'am.

- Yes. Ma'am. Copy that.

- Okay.

- Next.

- Have a nice day.

You too. Ma'am.

I never had a inkling before.

I didn't know what to do with it.

We gotta get to the airport.

- Oh. Sh*t. The flowers.

- Well. I'll deliver them. You go.

I don't have a car. All I have is this van.

My cousin Flaco lives nearby. He's got

a car you can borrow. It's a Chevy.

Yeah?

A hybrid.

Right over there.

Guy leaves. I said. "We can't take the dog."

He says. "You know. He'll be right back..."

Hi. I need your first ticket...

...out of terminal G to Dan Francisco.

- This counter for oversized items.

Right. L... But you sell tickets.

- This counter for oversized items.

- But you sell tickets. Right?

That counter is for oversized people

this counter is for oversized items. Okay?

Okay. Here's my luggage.

Now it's a matched set.

Buddy. I'm 52 and I'm wearing

a bright blue shirt to work.

- Please don't make me madder than I am.

- I'm sorry.

- There's this girl.

- Don't tell me...

...that'll take the fun out of guessing.

Gonna be tough.

There's a very pretty girl.

And she's about to get on a big airplane.

And if you don't stop her.

She'll never know how you really feel.

- Not exactly.

- What am I missing?

If she gets on the plane.

She's gonna find out the hard way...

...that the guy

that she thinks she's in love with...

...is a spineless. Lying creep.

- That's no good.

No. It is no good.

And I can't let that happen.

Because this girl. She is great.

Dhe's like...

Like sunshine.

Everything is better when she's there.

I can't stand the idea of some jerk

hurting her. I just can't. I can't.

[DOG BARKING]

Can you please be quiet...

...so this nice young man

can sell me a ticket. Please?

Take it easy.

Here. This'll get you

to any gate in the place.

- Dhe's like sunshine. Huh?

- Yeah.

Well. In that case. It's on me.

Go on. Get out of here.
