Valentine's Day Page #8

- Well. I guess we're done here.

- All right.

You can check with Heather.

- Dhe'll validate your parking.

- You have a blessed day.

MAN:

On your mark.

Get set.

GREG:
I'm Greg Gilkins at

my old high school. Henderson High...

...and today's subject: Young love.

I'm joined by Felicia. Whose boyfriend.

Willy. Will be joining us shortly.

- Felicia. If he's the star athlete. You are?

- Not the cheerleader.

- I'm on the dance team.

- Maybe you could show us a little bit.

Five. Six. Seven. Eight.

GREG:

Don't hurt yourself.

- Yes.

GREG:
I haven't seen moves like that...

...since the '94 Northridge quake.

You guys are...

How do you feel about each other

this Valentine's Day?

- Oh. My gosh. I totally love him.

- I'm crazy about her.

Willy. What is it about her

that makes you so happy?

Well. She's beautiful.

She makes me laugh...

...and she does my geometry.

- Bonus.

- Yep.

- And. Felicia...

...what is it about Willy that's so cool?

What. Besides the fact that he's totally hot?

He's an amazing athlete.

Go show them. Babe.

Go show them. Go show them.

He's so good.

[CHEERING]

How about this? I cook her dinner and then

serve it to her in front of a fireplace.

- That says romance.

- That says cheap-o.

Okay. Not a problem.

I got her tickets to the movie

at the Hollywood Cemetery.

Oh. Yeah. Chicks love the cemetery...

...on Valentine's Day.

- Don't you think you should get a gift?

Gift? I'm supposed to get her a Prius?

We've been dating for like two weeks.

Is there a two-week gift?

If you want there to be a third week

there is.

- Do how did you guys meet?

- It's really funny. Actually.

Like. I was not into him at first.

He used to shoot spit wads at me

in Dpanish class...

...which is. Like. So junior high.

But then one night I was brushing out

my hair when I got home...

...and I found this spit wad.

But it was really a note.

And it said. "What's up?"

And I was like. "That is so cute."

And then I liked him.

Oh. My God. Baby. Are you okay?

Walk it off. Baby. Just walk it off.

You're still hot. Baby. You're still hot.

GREG:
He rolled out of that like a ninja.

- He's usually good at those.

He's quite the athlete.

You're quite the dancer. Huh?

- Five. Six. Seven. Eight!

- No. I think... I think we're okay.

Oh. We haven't seen that one.

- Way to go. Dhe tell you the spit-wad story?

GREG:
Dhe did.

- Yeah. She's mushy like that.

- You like it.

- I know.

- Oh. I miss high school.

There you have it. Young love.

Full of promise. Full of hope...

...ignorant of reality. From Henderson High

on Valentine's Day. I'm Greg Gilkins.

Okay.

Dorry. Mr. E... but they can't get your

flowers delivered today...

...but they'll figure it out tomorrow.

- No. It has to be today. It has to.

Oh. Just let him go.

Let him go. Let him go. Let him go.

I'll tell you. Today's a lot of pressure for

anyone. Let alone a little kid. Come on.

Tell me about it. I haven't been having

the best day myself.

Is everything okay with Alex?

- Not really.

- Uh-oh. What happened?

Alex and I were supposed to...

...have sex today.

For the first time. For both of us.

I wanted it to be magical.

And I'm realizing that...

...it's hard to plan something

to be magical. You know?

- Yes. That it is.

- Love can't be planned.

It's not love she is talking about. Edgar.

It is sex.

GRACE:

He's going to Dtanford.

I'm going to Yale.

And it's just hit me recently that...

...it's gonna be really hard

to stay together.

Do I guess I thought that if we had

this amazing thing connecting us...

...it'd make it easier. Somehow.

But I don't know...

...hearing myself say it out loud.

It all sounds really stupid.

And it's not like I'm gonna sleep with

one person for the rest of my life. Right?

I mean. That's just crazy. Who does that?

- Oh. Crazy people like us. We did.

- No.

- That's amazing.

- Well. Granted. It was a different time...

...and people weren't as promiscuous

as they are now.

And there were times we spent

long periods apart. But we managed.

I'm not saying it was easy

or suggesting it for you.

Just saying it's possible.

And actually. We're gonna renew our vows

this spring. Right?

[PHONE RINGING]

- Would you excuse us a minute?

GRACE:
Yeah. I'm gonna take this.

Hey. No. I'm just at Edgar and Estelle's.

What are you doing?

Alex. I gotta tell you something.

I don't know if today's the day.

I want it to be special.

You want it to be special...

...and. You know. We tried

to make it special. But. You know...

Do you wanna go back there and see

my mom after what happened earlier?

I don't think so.

All right. Well. Okay.

Um...

You know what. Alex. Sorry.

I need to call you back.

I have to go. I'll call you later. Bye.

Edison!

Remember when you went away

to Florida to build the apartments?

You remember that.

And you were gone a very long time.

Yes.

You were gone so long.

I was so Ionely.

And...

Well. Joey came over. It was my birthday.

And he brought flowers. And...

- I sent you flowers. Hon.

- Yes. You did.

And champagne.

Joey? Wait a minute.

- Joey Keenan?

- Yes.

- My business partner.

- That's right.

And we sat and we talked

and we had dinner. And we...

And then...

It wasn't anything at first. And...

- You had an affair.

- Yes. But it didn't last long. Edgar.

Didn't last long.

And we regretted it very much.

I'm so sorry.

- You're the only man I've ever loved.

- Then why tell me now?

It's been bothering me.

Our vows and everything.

And I wanted to tell you the truth.

The truth?

Well. Unfortunately. Estelle...

...the truth makes everything else

seem like a lie.

I'm sorry.

KATE:

Why do you hate heart-shaped candy?

I think it's because it reminds me that this

is Valentine's Day. And I'm recently single.

- We weren't on the same page.

- Dorry.

- It's okay. It's over.

- Nothing to be done?

No. No. I've seen the enemy

and the enemy is me.

You could go for the stewardess.

Dhe seems to like you.

I think she likes everybody.

That's her job.

Dhe looks over here every 5 seconds.

- No.

- Ready?

- Five. Four. Three...

- You wanna bet on it?

- I'll bet you a bag of pretzels.

- Okay.

Five. Four. Three. Two...

- Oh. There it is.

- Okay. All right. That was a coincidence.

- Five. Four. Three...

- Dtop it. Dtop it.

- Looked on three. Dhe's gonna come here.

- Excuse me.

- Can I get you anything?

- A bag of pretzels. Please.

Two. Actually.

Thank you for the flowers. Mr. Troken.

Ready for your sponge bath?

MAN:

Yes. Please.

Hi. Excuse me. Hi.

Could I ask you a question?

I'm looking for Dr. Copeland.

Is he here tonight?

- Not tonight. No.

- Dorry. Dr. Harrison Copeland.

Not tonight.

- Could you tell me where I could find him?

- Are you a patient? Is something wrong?

Look. Can I ask you a question.

Just woman to woman?

Okay.

Is Dr. Copeland married?

Not divorced or not separated...

...just full-on married

to a woman named Pamela?

They just celebrated
