Thank you.

Thank you.

Right this way. Come on. Let me see.

All right.

Hey. Sir. Dir.

- Just a moment. Sir.

WOMAN [OVER DPEAKER]: Attention please.

Flight 464 to San Francisco...

... is now boarding at gate 13

in terminal G.

The... The man left his shoes.

Mister. The man forgot his shoes.

We've got a Code Foxtrot.

- Excuse me. Excuse me!

- We've got a Code Foxtrot.

Oh. On Mount Tam?

Do you think? Because I heard

there's a little restaurant...

He's a friend of mine. It's okay.

What are you doing?

- Just...

- Where are your shoes? Are you okay?

He's married.

- What?

- Harrison. He's married.

He was married. And now he's divorced.

No. He's still married. Her name is Pamela.

They live in Brentwood.

I know because I delivered flowers to her.

I tried to tell you at the school.

Did he say it was his current wife?

"I'm sending flowers to my current wife"?

He didn't have to. I could tell.

Like you could tell

that my old boyfriend Eddie was gay.

- Eddie was gay.

- Eddie is married with two beautiful kids.

- Eddie has a cat named Babs.

- You've tried to talk me...

...out of every boyfriend since we've met.

- I'm telling you the truth. I promise.

I'm going.

No. Hang on. Hang on.

Come here. Come here.

Why. Hello there. I'm with security.

Do you think that Morley

and I belong together?

- What does that have to do with anything?

- Just tell me. Do you?

I don't know.

If you love her and if she loves you...

- Answer the question.

- Fine.

No.

- Personally. I don't see it.

- That's what I'm doing here.

Because apparently everyone

and their mother felt that way...

...but nobody had the guts to tell me.

And now. I'm left with some stupid ring

and an empty closet...

...and an ache in my gut the size of Texas

because nobody told me.

- Dhe left you.

- Today.

I'm sorry.

This will serve as your final boarding call

for flight 464 to Dan Francisco.

- I don't want this to happen to you.

- I'm sorry about Morley...

...but I'm going to see my boyfriend.

You know it's the truth.

Dir. Your shoes are still at security.

We're not allowed to touch them.

Dir. What kind of man takes his shoes off

and leave them off in public?

Now. You know.

It's some nasty stuff on these floors. Sir.

Whoa.

Dorry.

WOMAN:
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure

you've noticed we're experiencing turbulence.

Nothing to be concerned about

but the captain has turned on...

... the seat belt sign for safety.

Please return to your seats

until we pass through this...

...which should be in just a few minutes.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- I'll just put it there.

Watch your hands.

You look very pretty.

Thank you.

- Are you nervous?

- Yes.

No reason to be. The minute you walk

through that door nothing else...

...is gonna matter.

Thank you.

Franklin rules!

Hey. Edison. Wanna warm up together?

Yeah. Edison.

Warm up with your girlfriend.

Grow up. Franklin.

Are you gonna watch

Discovery Channel tonight?

- It's about giraffes.

- No. I can't.

I have to work at my mother's restaurant.

- The one with the pointy towers?

- Yeah.

I went there for your birthday party.

It's a busy night for us. We have a wedding.

And a party for people...

...who hate Valentine's Day.

- Why hate Valentine's Day?

- I don't know.

We have it every year.

And it's all of Miss Fitzpatrick's friends.

Really?

Not in Franklin's house!

Come on. The game's starting!

- Edison. What the heck is wrong with you?

- I'm in love.

Do am I. But I can move my feet.

Did you see it?

I went like this with my head.

I kicked the ball with my head!

Didn't you see it?

WOMAN:
Oh. I did see it. Honey.

Mommy's so proud of you.

Let's go find Daddy.

I'm Kelvin Moore. Happy Valentine's Day.

MAN:

Welcome to the famous Hollywood Dtars...

WOMAN:

Don't you know who I am. Huh?

- You think I wouldn't find you here?

- What are you doing?

- I'm trying to work.

- Look at this. Everyone!

This is not in... This isn't for pictures.

Miss. Oh. Mother, what's going on?

Why so...?

"Cisco Martinez is a cheating rat."

Dhe's loco.

I don't know what she's talking about.

- No. rata. You rata!

- Cisco! Cisco!

- What are you doing? This is...

- Oh. She kneed him in the gonads.

My goodness. I feel for you.

The Dodger Dog.

- I'm okay.

WOMAN:
Dleeping with them?

Anyway. My name is Kelvin Moore.

Happy Valentine's Day.

KVLA. Channel 13.

[PHONE BUZZING]

We done?

Got a text. Dean Jackson

is calling a press conference.

This could be my exclusive. Okay?

Listen. Keep filming.

All right. Do some B-roll

or something like that. All right?

GREG:

No worries. Boss.

It's my day.

Hey. Listen. I need to be able

to talk to Kara for two seconds.

I already gave you everything on the

press conference. So we are good.

I'm trying to do something special.

Look at the profile. I'm from KVLA.

- The number two sports guy.

- On my way to number one.

I wanted to ask her one question

about Dean Jackson.

I need to be able to ask Dean Jackson

one question on camera.

Dhe's on a conference call.

She's very busy.

- I don't know if I can...

- My bladder.

I gotta use the bathroom. Got a bathroom?

Oh. I dropped my notes.

- No. You can't just barge into an... Kara.

- Kara.

- Damn.

- Oh. Kara. Are you okay?

- Oh. Do I look okay?

- Dhould we call a doctor?

No. It's this day.

Christmas. New Year's. Fourth of July.

She's fine.

- Valentine's Day. Not so good.

- What are you doing tonight. Kelvin?

I'm actually here about the Dean Jackson

interview. But we could talk.

Relax. I'm not asking you out.

I'm just curious.

How are you spending

this happiest of all days?

- Let me just...

- You don't wanna call somebody?

I just wanna know if. In fact...

...I am the only person

on the whole freaking planet...

...who is completely

and 100-percent alone on Valentine's Day.

I asked you a question.

Yeah. I'm working.

I got three telecasts: 9. 10. and 11:00.

Usually. I do two. But people want it off.

So I'm happy to cover for them on this day.

You don't like to go out

on Valentine's Day?

- I hate it.

- Me too.

It's my fault I'm alone.

I'm neurotic to the nth degree.

I don't have time to work on myself...

...because I'm too busy

fixing everyone else.

- Right.

- My closest relationship...

...is with my BlackBerry.

- Right.

- Thank God it vibrates.

- Oh. No.

- But do you know...

...who has always been there for me?

- Who's that?

- My best friend: Candy.

- There's somebody.

I cannot get enough.

And I know it's bad...

- Kara.

...but I need it.

I need it. And there is not a shortage

on Valentine's Day.

And that is my future.

I'll be a Ionely old lady

with rotting teeth.

- No. No. No. No. You're not.

- And a chocolate mustache.

[KARA DOBD]

Okay. Maybe you should try some tofu

or something.

Okay. It'll balance out your emotions.

I don't want a mustache.

You'll look hot with a mustache.

Or without it. It doesn't matter.

- You can let go of me now.

- Yeah. I should.
