Will you be my Valentine?

16
00:02:08,261 --> 00:02:10,096
Do you prefer flowers
or candy?

17
00:02:16,370 --> 00:02:18,304
"Dear coach...

18
00:02:18,338 --> 00:02:20,139
"I've been dating

Signed...
'Should I move on?'"

27
00:02:35,522 --> 00:02:36,989
probably...

28
00:02:37,024 --> 00:02:38,591
Or she wouldn't have asked
my advice.

29
00:02:43,563 --> 00:02:45,998
Dear "should I move on?"...

30
00:02:47,467 --> 00:02:49,268

00:02:51,571 --> 00:02:53,239

00:02:53,273 --> 00:02:56,409

00:02:56,443 --> 00:02:57,543
We need
more powdered sugar.

35
00:02:57,577 --> 00:02:59,278
I got a response
from "consult the coach."

36
00:02:59,312 --> 00:03:00,279
Who?

37
00:03:00,313 --> 00:03:01,614
The advice column.

38
00:03:01,648 --> 00:03:03,215
"...not someone

39
00:03:03,250 --> 00:03:04,550
"you should trust

00:03:04,584 --> 00:03:06,719
"Don't waste time on Mr. wrong.

Go find Mr. right."

42
00:03:10,557 --> 00:03:13,125
The coach thinks
I should move on.

43
00:03:14,227 --> 00:03:15,194
Want my advice?

44
00:03:15,228 --> 00:03:16,395
Don't take
your marching orders

45
00:03:16,430 --> 00:03:18,564
from some so-called
"coach."

46
00:03:23,236 --> 00:03:25,104
That might have been overkill,

47
00:03:25,138 --> 00:03:27,339
but I'm probably saving her
a lot of grief.

48
00:03:28,375 --> 00:03:30,476
I know how this turns out.

49
00:03:30,510 --> 00:03:32,244
Oh! I'm gonna be late.

I'd like to make
a reservation

56
00:04:03,710 --> 00:04:05,745
for four for 7:30.

57
00:04:08,548 --> 00:04:11,584
Oh! That's too bad.

58
00:04:11,618 --> 00:04:13,753
This is Lauren port
from the banner.

59
00:04:15,355 --> 00:04:17,656
Ohh! You can?

60
00:04:17,691 --> 00:04:19,191
That's wonderful.

61
00:04:19,226 --> 00:04:21,460
Yes. 7:30.
We'll see you then.

62
00:04:21,495 --> 00:04:22,595
Thank you.

63
00:04:22,629 --> 00:04:23,596
Well played.

64
00:04:23,630 --> 00:04:25,531
Listen, I want to give you
a new assignment.

65
00:04:25,565 --> 00:04:27,366
Instead of
dispensing advice,

66
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,402
I want you to write
some very special columns.

67
00:04:30,437 --> 00:04:31,570
Great!

68
00:04:33,473 --> 00:04:34,807
"All things
Valentine."

69
00:04:34,875 --> 00:04:37,376
We are going to be doing
a cross-media campaign,

70
00:04:37,410 --> 00:04:39,445
spanning all
the banner outlets...

71
00:04:39,479 --> 00:04:41,213
Newspapers, websites.

72
00:04:41,248 --> 00:04:43,382
We are going to become
the go-to spot for...

73
00:04:43,416 --> 00:04:44,717
All things
Valentine.

74
00:04:44,751 --> 00:04:47,453
And I want a column
on Valentine's

75
00:04:47,487 --> 00:04:49,588
every day between
now and February 14th.

76
00:04:49,623 --> 00:04:50,823
You know, I think
I'd be better off

77
00:04:50,857 --> 00:04:52,191
sticking to advice.

78
00:04:52,225 --> 00:04:54,193
Why? What's the problem?

79
00:04:54,227 --> 00:04:56,328
This is an opportunity.

80
00:04:56,363 --> 00:04:57,830
You're a good writer,
you can do this.

81
00:04:57,864 --> 00:04:59,765
It's the subject matter
that I have a problem with.

82
00:05:01,301 --> 00:05:04,370
What's the objection
to Valentine's day?

83
00:05:04,404 --> 00:05:06,105
Well, typically,
it's a disaster.

84
00:05:06,139 --> 00:05:07,139
How so?

85
00:05:08,175 --> 00:05:10,509
Oh. Okay. Well, um...

86
00:05:11,578 --> 00:05:12,711
There was the time

87
00:05:12,746 --> 00:05:14,713
that I spilled an entire bottle
of cherry soda

88
00:05:14,748 --> 00:05:17,316
on my sixth-grade crush
at the Valentine's day dance.

89
00:05:17,350 --> 00:05:19,218
And then, in college,
my boyfriend

90
00:05:19,252 --> 00:05:22,188
regifted the iPod I gave him
for Valentine's day

91
00:05:22,222 --> 00:05:23,422
to the homecoming queen.

92
00:05:23,456 --> 00:05:26,759
She eventually dumped him,
but she kept that iPod.

93
00:05:26,793 --> 00:05:28,494
And yet you graduated
summa cum...

94
00:05:28,528 --> 00:05:30,563
Magna cum laude, but...

95
00:05:30,597 --> 00:05:32,598
And then
there's the kicker,

96
00:05:32,632 --> 00:05:34,834
the one that I really
just can't get over.

97
00:05:37,871 --> 00:05:40,573
I was dating this guy
and I was in love,

98
00:05:40,607 --> 00:05:42,408
or I thought I was,

99
00:05:42,442 --> 00:05:45,778
and I went over to his place
on Valentine's day and...

100
00:05:45,812 --> 00:05:48,581
Yeah, you know
the rest.

101
00:05:49,616 --> 00:05:51,717
It's that
stunning moment

102
00:05:51,751 --> 00:05:53,752
that steals
your faith in love.

103
00:05:57,757 --> 00:05:58,824
Wow.

104
00:05:58,859 --> 00:06:00,826
You do have a way with words.

105
00:06:00,861 --> 00:06:03,529
Yeah. Not so much with men.

106
00:06:04,698 --> 00:06:06,465
"Consult the coach"
is anonymous.

107
00:06:06,499 --> 00:06:08,667
It wouldn't be you
writing those columns,

108
00:06:08,702 --> 00:06:12,738
but someone
who adores Valentine's day.

109
00:06:12,772 --> 00:06:14,607
An anonymous fraud.

110
00:06:14,641 --> 00:06:15,774
Avery...

111
00:06:15,809 --> 00:06:17,543
Your readership is down.

112
00:06:17,577 --> 00:06:19,578
This could
give it a boost,

113
00:06:19,613 --> 00:06:21,614
and it may just
revise your opinion

114
00:06:21,648 --> 00:06:24,516
of a pretty wonderful
day of the year.

115
00:06:35,195 --> 00:06:36,829
Okay, have some more of that.

116
00:06:36,863 --> 00:06:38,297
This is yours, right?

117
00:06:40,533 --> 00:06:41,533
Just a little piece.

118
00:06:43,570 --> 00:06:44,670
Every single column,

119
00:06:44,704 --> 00:06:46,538
about something
I would rather avoid.

120
00:06:46,573 --> 00:06:48,207
That's a lot of
Valentine's day.

121
00:06:48,241 --> 00:06:50,342
How come they don't
give you a byline?

122
00:06:50,377 --> 00:06:52,344
Oh, I don't want a byline.
I like the anonymity.

123
00:06:52,379 --> 00:06:54,413
The "coach" isn't who I am,
it's just something I write.

124
00:06:54,447 --> 00:06:55,948
What will
you write about?

125
00:06:55,982 --> 00:06:58,350
Well, I've got my first column
figured out...

126
00:06:58,385 --> 00:06:59,818
"Romantic restaurants."

127
00:06:59,853 --> 00:07:00,853
Ooh!

128
00:07:00,887 --> 00:07:03,355
After that,
I'm gonna need your help.

129
00:07:03,390 --> 00:07:04,523
What kind of help?

130
00:07:04,557 --> 00:07:07,326
Well, you guys all
love Valentine's day.

131
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,694
You love the flowers
and the cards...

132
00:07:08,728 --> 00:07:11,664
And the perfect "remind him why
he fell in love with you" dress.

133
00:07:11,698 --> 00:07:13,532
I remember
why I fell in love.

134
00:07:13,566 --> 00:07:15,601
Your braised chicken.

135
00:07:16,636 --> 00:07:17,603
I'm gonna need input

136
00:07:17,637 --> 00:07:18,604
from all
you true believers.

137
00:07:18,638 --> 00:07:19,672
You gotta get over

138
00:07:19,706 --> 00:07:20,806
this aversion
to Valentine's day.

139
00:07:21,841 --> 00:07:23,208
What's an "aversion"?

140
00:07:23,243 --> 00:07:24,877
Means she doesn't like it.

141
00:07:24,911 --> 00:07:26,679
How come?

142
00:07:27,914 --> 00:07:31,417
A boy I liked
hurt my feelings.

143
00:07:31,451 --> 00:07:33,285
What a dummy!

144
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,486
Yeah.

145
00:07:34,521 --> 00:07:35,788
Aunt Avery?

146
00:07:35,822 --> 00:07:38,958
I kinda like Valentine's day.

147
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,794
Really?

148
00:07:46,366 --> 00:07:47,900
Tell me what you like about it.

149
00:07:47,934 --> 00:07:50,769
Mostly for the candy.

150
00:07:50,804 --> 00:07:53,505
And Josie ward,
she's in my class.

151
00:07:53,540 --> 00:07:57,409
I made her a card
and I hope she likes it.

152
00:07:57,444 --> 00:07:58,777
Well, if she doesn't,
she's a dummy.

153
00:07:58,812 --> 00:08:01,547
No, she's okay.
She's perfect.

154
00:08:01,581 --> 00:08:02,915
You know,

155
00:08:02,949 --> 00:08:05,317
if anybody could help me
rethink Valentine's day,

156
00:08:05,352 --> 00:08:06,952
it'd be you.

157
00:08:06,987 --> 00:08:08,387
Thanks.

158
00:08:08,421 --> 00:08:09,488
Eat your broccoli.

159
00:08:09,522 --> 00:08:10,522
I'm gonna tell your mom.

160
00:08:10,557 --> 00:08:11,924
No.

161
00:08:16,396 --> 00:08:18,630
Hey, what's wrong?

162
00:08:18,665 --> 00:08:20,666
Uh...

163
00:08:22,902 --> 00:08:24,970
Valentine's day.

164
00:08:25,005 --> 00:08:26,338
What about it?

165
00:08:27,407 --> 00:08:29,308
Well, it's the...

166
00:08:29,342 --> 00:08:31,043
Most romantic day
of the year

167
00:08:31,077 --> 00:08:33,412
and we don't have any plans yet.

168
00:08:34,714 --> 00:08:36,482
I have to work that night.

169
00:08:36,516 --> 00:08:37,783
I'm sorry, McKenna.

170
00:08:40,453 --> 00:08:43,856
I don't think
that we're on the same page.

171
00:08:43,890 --> 00:08:46,725
What page is that?

172
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,862
The page where we have a date
on Valentine's day.

173
00:08:49,896 --> 00:08:51,697
Like the one
we're having right now?

174
00:08:51,731 --> 00:08:54,566
The one you're not enjoying
because it's on the wrong day?

175
00:08:54,601 --> 00:08:58,003
There are stages
in relationships,

176
00:08:58,038 --> 00:09:00,439
and we're just...

177
00:09:01,541 --> 00:09:03,008
We're not going anywhere.

178
00:09:03,043 --> 00:09:05,778
Can't we just enjoy
each other's company,

179
00:09:05,812 --> 00:09:07,679
see where it leads?

180
00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:14,787
I can't do this. Um...

181
00:09:15,889 --> 00:09:16,855
What do you mean?

182
00:09:16,890 --> 00:09:19,925
I can't put it
as well as this.

183
00:09:19,959 --> 00:09:21,093
What is this?

184
00:09:21,127 --> 00:09:23,062
- "The coach."
- Who?

185
00:09:23,096 --> 00:09:24,063
Read it.

186
00:09:27,467 --> 00:09:29,501
Read it.

187
00:09:30,904 --> 00:09:33,005
"His insensitivity

188
00:09:33,039 --> 00:09:36,075
suggests the kind
of man he is."

189
00:09:36,109 --> 00:09:37,076
Is this about me?

190
00:09:37,110 --> 00:09:38,143
Yes.

191
00:09:39,746 --> 00:09:43,082
"Not someone you should
trust with your heart."

192
00:09:43,116 --> 00:09:46,652
This "coach" person should not
be trusted with a computer.

193
00:09:46,686 --> 00:09:49,054
"Don't waste time
on Mr. wrong."

194
00:09:49,089 --> 00:09:52,458
"Wrong" because
of Valentine's day?

195
00:09:52,492 --> 00:09:55,794
"Wrong" because you don't
even understand what's wrong.

196
00:10:00,834 --> 00:10:03,669
I like you a lot, Brendan.

197
00:10:04,704 --> 00:10:05,938
I like you, too.

198
00:10:07,707 --> 00:10:09,575
Apparently not enough.

199
00:10:10,910 --> 00:10:14,780
I-I don't know what
you want me to say here.

200
00:10:19,786 --> 00:10:22,054
Then I'll just say it.

201
00:10:23,490 --> 00:10:24,623
It's over.

202
00:10:36,035 --> 00:10:37,903
- Oh, I want one of these.
- See you Friday.

203
00:10:37,937 --> 00:10:39,805
Just have to find you
the right guy first.

204
00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:40,906
Hey, Hannah,

205
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:41,974
we can watch Jeremy
on Valentine's day

206
00:10:42,008 --> 00:10:42,975
so you two can go out.

207
00:10:43,009 --> 00:10:43,976
Oh, can I get in
on that?

208
00:10:44,010 --> 00:10:45,511
No date
on the horizon?

209
00:10:45,545 --> 00:10:46,778
I can be
your date.

210
00:10:46,813 --> 00:10:49,181
Now, who can top that?

211
00:10:49,215 --> 00:10:51,617
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

212
00:10:51,651 --> 00:10:52,818
Goodnight.

213
00:10:52,852 --> 00:10:54,453
- Thanks.
- Bye.

214
00:10:54,487 --> 00:10:56,588
- I love you.
- I love you.

215
00:10:56,623 --> 00:10:58,590
- 'Night, daddy.
- Bye.

216
00:10:58,625 --> 00:11:00,826
Okay, next Thursday.
I'll give you a call.

217
00:11:00,860 --> 00:11:02,461
All right,
I should go, too.

218
00:11:03,463 --> 00:11:05,531
Where's busby?

219
00:11:06,599 --> 00:11:08,634
Hey, busby.

220
00:11:09,969 --> 00:11:12,504
Busby?

221
00:11:12,539 --> 00:11:13,872
Aw, sweetie.

222
00:11:13,907 --> 00:11:16,008
This isn't like you.

223
00:11:17,644 --> 00:11:19,011
Come on, let's get you home.

224
00:11:19,045 --> 00:11:21,513
Come here.
Oh, I know. I know.

225
00:11:21,548 --> 00:11:23,081
Is he okay?

226
00:11:23,116 --> 00:11:24,449
I've got you.

227
00:11:24,484 --> 00:11:26,585
I don't know. It's really weird.
He's never like this.

228
00:11:35,161 --> 00:11:36,795
So McKenna
just walked out?

229
00:11:36,829 --> 00:11:38,697
Yeah, they hadn't even
served the entrees yet.

230
00:11:38,731 --> 00:11:41,266
Huh. My dates usually
eat before they run.

231
00:11:41,301 --> 00:11:43,936
What upsets me
is the "coach."

232
00:11:43,970 --> 00:11:45,470
I read her online bio.

233
00:11:45,505 --> 00:11:47,873
She doesn't even
reveal her identity,

234
00:11:47,907 --> 00:11:49,508
and she's not even
a professional!

235
00:11:49,542 --> 00:11:51,543
She should not be
giving advice.

236
00:11:51,578 --> 00:11:52,678
Well, "dear Abby"
wasn't a professional,

237
00:11:52,712 --> 00:11:53,745
she gave advice
for years.

238
00:11:53,780 --> 00:11:55,013
But this woman's
giving bad advice.

239
00:11:55,048 --> 00:11:57,049
How do you condemn a man
you've never even met?

240
00:11:57,083 --> 00:11:58,050
Yeah, but...

241
00:11:58,084 --> 00:11:59,084
But what?

242
00:11:59,118 --> 00:12:00,686
Well, why...
Why didn't you

243
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,521
want to make plans
for Valentine's day?

244
00:12:02,555 --> 00:12:04,022
Besides the fact that
I'm working that night?

245
00:12:04,057 --> 00:12:06,191
Come on! You're on-call
in case of emergency.

246
00:12:06,226 --> 00:12:08,627
Hardly qualifies as
holding down the fort.

247
00:12:08,661 --> 00:12:10,062
I know.

248
00:12:10,096 --> 00:12:12,030
I was just trying
to be a good guy

249
00:12:12,065 --> 00:12:13,031
and not lead her on

250
00:12:13,066 --> 00:12:14,633
if I'm not sure
how I feel about her.

251
00:12:14,667 --> 00:12:16,201
You're way
too cautious.

252
00:12:16,236 --> 00:12:17,703
I'm careful.

253
00:12:17,737 --> 00:12:19,271
I know how wrong
it can go.

254
00:12:19,305 --> 00:12:21,073
Yeah, well,

255
00:12:21,107 --> 00:12:23,242
there are no
guarantees with love.

256
00:12:27,046 --> 00:12:28,013
Wait a minute.

257
00:12:28,047 --> 00:12:30,215
Who am I to give advice?

258
00:12:30,250 --> 00:12:32,584
I can't even remember
my last romance.

259
00:12:32,619 --> 00:12:34,620
Actually, wait, no,
that's wrong, I do remember.

260
00:12:34,654 --> 00:12:37,689
How do you reject a guy
for inferior bowling?

261
00:12:37,724 --> 00:12:39,258
I'm gonna miss
going to the bakery,

262
00:12:39,292 --> 00:12:41,927
but, you know, it's just
gonna be too awkward.

263
00:12:41,961 --> 00:12:43,095
Sorry, buddy,
I gotta go,

264
00:12:43,129 --> 00:12:44,529
I'm hooked
on pru's scones.

265
00:12:44,564 --> 00:12:46,098
You know who's
gonna be sorry?

266
00:12:46,132 --> 00:12:47,299
The coach.

267
00:12:47,333 --> 00:12:48,900
What do you mean?

268
00:12:48,935 --> 00:12:51,003
She's committed a foul
and I'm throwing the flag.

269
00:12:51,037 --> 00:12:52,170
Just let it go!

270
00:12:52,205 --> 00:12:55,007
Uh-uh. Somebody's
got to call her out.

271
00:12:55,041 --> 00:12:56,275
Let's go!

272
00:12:57,343 --> 00:12:58,877
"There are lots of things

273
00:12:58,911 --> 00:12:59,878
"to do on Valentine's day,

274
00:12:59,912 --> 00:13:02,547
"but a candlelit dinner
is a must.

275
00:13:02,582 --> 00:13:04,049
"So here you go...

276
00:13:04,083 --> 00:13:07,119
The 10 most romantic places
for Valentine's day dinner."

277
00:13:11,057 --> 00:13:12,090
Busby?

278
00:13:15,795 --> 00:13:17,062
Are you okay?

279
00:13:23,069 --> 00:13:25,037
I think
kit is making his way over here.

280
00:13:25,071 --> 00:13:26,204
Not much
of a newsflash.

281
00:13:26,239 --> 00:13:27,572
He works across
the street.

282
00:13:27,607 --> 00:13:28,573
Yeah, but he's
Brendan's best friend.

283
00:13:28,608 --> 00:13:29,574
What do I say?

284
00:13:29,609 --> 00:13:30,609
"Good morning."

285
00:13:31,944 --> 00:13:33,245
Good morning.

286
00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:34,813
How you doing, McKenna?

287
00:13:34,847 --> 00:13:36,348
I'm fine.

288
00:13:36,382 --> 00:13:38,817
I'm absolu... I'm fine.

289
00:13:38,851 --> 00:13:40,118
Thank you.

290
00:13:40,153 --> 00:13:41,186
That's... that's good.

291
00:13:41,220 --> 00:13:42,220
Morning, kit.

292
00:13:42,255 --> 00:13:43,322
Morning, pru.

293
00:13:43,356 --> 00:13:44,356
What can I get you?

294
00:13:44,390 --> 00:13:45,791
A raspberry scone.

295
00:13:45,825 --> 00:13:47,259
How many today?

296
00:13:47,293 --> 00:13:48,727
Uh, just one,

297
00:13:48,761 --> 00:13:50,696
I'm kind of on a health kick,
and I can't go cold Turkey, so.

298
00:13:50,730 --> 00:13:52,331
For here or to go?

299
00:13:52,365 --> 00:13:54,733
I have a few minutes
before I got to go back to work.

300
00:13:54,767 --> 00:13:55,801
For here.

301
00:13:55,835 --> 00:13:57,302
'Kay.

302
00:13:58,738 --> 00:14:01,640
Ahh.

303
00:14:07,814 --> 00:14:09,147
So...

304
00:14:09,182 --> 00:14:11,149
I guess you heard
about Brendan and I?

305
00:14:11,184 --> 00:14:12,818
Yeah. Yeah. I, uh...

306
00:14:12,852 --> 00:14:15,754
Brendan's a good guy,
and you couldn't be nicer.

307
00:14:15,788 --> 00:14:17,055
Sometimes,
these things just...

308
00:14:17,090 --> 00:14:18,223
Don't work out.

309
00:14:18,257 --> 00:14:20,726
Hmm.

310
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,861
Ahh. Duty calls.

311
00:14:22,895 --> 00:14:23,995
An Alaskan husky,

312
00:14:24,030 --> 00:14:26,264
not the type of patient
you wanna keep waiting.

313
00:14:30,737 --> 00:14:33,872
Uh, thank you, pru.

314
00:14:33,906 --> 00:14:35,040
See you.

315
00:14:35,074 --> 00:14:36,808
See ya, kit.

316
00:14:42,715 --> 00:14:43,715
You okay?

317
00:14:43,750 --> 00:14:45,751
I've been better.

318
00:14:46,786 --> 00:14:48,220
Maybe you were
rushing things

319
00:14:48,254 --> 00:14:50,155
with Brendan.

320
00:14:50,189 --> 00:14:51,857
I have a plan.

321
00:14:51,891 --> 00:14:54,159
If you wanna have it all,
you've got to have one.

322
00:14:54,193 --> 00:14:56,294
Married by 30,
3 kids, and a career.

323
00:14:56,329 --> 00:14:58,296
Well, you can't
just corral someone

324
00:14:58,331 --> 00:15:00,198
into your picket-
fence fantasy.

325
00:15:00,233 --> 00:15:02,401
Are you saying
this was my fault?

326
00:15:02,435 --> 00:15:06,671
I'm saying get to know the guy
before you make him the guy.

327
00:15:06,706 --> 00:15:07,873
Hmm?

328
00:15:07,907 --> 00:15:08,940
Mm.

329
00:15:08,975 --> 00:15:11,109
How about you?

330
00:15:11,144 --> 00:15:12,944
Oh. I'm trying
"no guys,"

331
00:15:12,979 --> 00:15:16,348
better than the "gone guys"
I usually pick.

332
00:15:20,787 --> 00:15:22,287
Gone guys.

333
00:15:25,224 --> 00:15:26,191
Dear coach!

334
00:15:26,225 --> 00:15:27,225
Thanks a lot.

335
00:15:27,260 --> 00:15:28,493
Your restaurant suggestions

336
00:15:28,528 --> 00:15:30,128
are on par with your advice
about relationships.

337
00:15:30,163 --> 00:15:32,164
Your next patient is here.

338
00:15:32,231 --> 00:15:33,265
Great, thanks.

339
00:15:33,299 --> 00:15:34,766
Thanks.

340
00:15:57,290 --> 00:15:58,290
Hi.

341
00:15:58,324 --> 00:15:59,357
I'm Dr. bains.

342
00:15:59,392 --> 00:16:00,425
Hi.

343
00:16:01,494 --> 00:16:03,261
Well, thanks
for fitting us in.

344
00:16:03,296 --> 00:16:06,131
What seems to be the problem
with busby today?

345
00:16:06,165 --> 00:16:09,768
Well, um, he's just not
his usual chipper self.

346
00:16:09,802 --> 00:16:11,803
Let's take a look.

347
00:16:12,839 --> 00:16:13,972
What's going on, buddy?

348
00:16:14,006 --> 00:16:17,976
You could just tell me
and make my job a lot easier.

349
00:16:31,190 --> 00:16:32,224
Well...

350
00:16:32,258 --> 00:16:34,259
Telltale warm nose.

351
00:16:34,293 --> 00:16:37,128
Our friend, busby,
is running a fever.

352
00:16:37,163 --> 00:16:38,330
Aw, busby.

353
00:16:38,364 --> 00:16:40,065
9 times out of 10,
it's nothing.

354
00:16:40,099 --> 00:16:42,200
Well, what if he's in the 10%?

355
00:16:42,235 --> 00:16:44,269
Do you have some tests
that you could run?

356
00:16:44,303 --> 00:16:45,270
We have plenty of tests.

357
00:16:45,304 --> 00:16:46,805
They are sophisticated

358
00:16:46,839 --> 00:16:48,173
and expensive,

359
00:16:48,207 --> 00:16:49,207
but I recommend this,

360
00:16:49,242 --> 00:16:51,543
and bring him back
in a couple days,

361
00:16:51,577 --> 00:16:54,279
and we'll see how he's doing.

362
00:16:54,313 --> 00:16:56,047
You're really good with him.

363
00:16:57,049 --> 00:16:59,217
Don't tell
any of my other patients,

364
00:16:59,252 --> 00:17:02,187
but busby here
is my favorite breed.

365
00:17:02,221 --> 00:17:04,422
I had one just like him
when I was growing up.

366
00:17:04,457 --> 00:17:05,924
She's the reason
why I became a vet.

367
00:17:05,958 --> 00:17:06,925
Really?

368
00:17:06,959 --> 00:17:08,960
Mm. It's a pretty
awesome story.

369
00:17:08,995 --> 00:17:11,129
Oh, well,
I like an awesome story,

370
00:17:11,163 --> 00:17:14,900
especially when
it involves a dog.

371
00:17:14,934 --> 00:17:16,868
Well, Max had a run-in
with a porcupine,

372
00:17:16,903 --> 00:17:18,336
so I took her to the vet.

373
00:17:18,371 --> 00:17:20,205
I offered to pay him
with my allowance,

374
00:17:20,239 --> 00:17:22,340
but he let me
work off my debt.

375
00:17:22,375 --> 00:17:24,843
I was in his office
every day after school...

376
00:17:24,877 --> 00:17:26,945
For four years.

377
00:17:26,979 --> 00:17:28,179
He, uh...

378
00:17:28,214 --> 00:17:30,448
Was like a father to me.

379
00:17:30,483 --> 00:17:32,350
I wanted to be just like him.

380
00:17:34,053 --> 00:17:36,855
Well, it sounds like
busby's in really good hands.

381
00:17:45,431 --> 00:17:46,998
Thanks again.

382
00:17:47,033 --> 00:17:49,334
Okay, see you again soon.

383
00:17:52,471 --> 00:17:54,005
Office-to-door
service?

384
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,574
We're a concierge clinic now?

385
00:17:55,608 --> 00:17:57,142
She had her hands full.

386
00:17:57,176 --> 00:17:59,511
How do you explain
that grin on your face?

387
00:17:59,545 --> 00:18:01,513
I like the dog!

388
00:18:01,547 --> 00:18:02,647
Uh-huh.

389
00:18:03,950 --> 00:18:05,951
I like your new vet.

390
00:18:09,655 --> 00:18:12,290
All right.
Get cozy, buddy.

391
00:18:19,932 --> 00:18:21,566
"Your
"10 most romantic places

392
00:18:21,601 --> 00:18:22,968
for Valentine's day dinner"

393
00:18:23,002 --> 00:18:24,269
"are already booked.

394
00:18:24,303 --> 00:18:26,271
"Coaches I know have
usually done their homework...

395
00:18:26,305 --> 00:18:27,505
"Or is that your column

396
00:18:27,540 --> 00:18:29,874
"is just a poorly disguised
product placement.

397
00:18:29,909 --> 00:18:31,943
Signed...
'Bench the coach'."

398
00:18:31,978 --> 00:18:33,979
What a creep.

399
00:18:43,956 --> 00:18:44,923
Hi!

400
00:18:44,957 --> 00:18:46,057
Hey. What's going on?

401
00:18:46,092 --> 00:18:48,560
I may have an idea
for your Valentine's day column.

402
00:18:48,594 --> 00:18:50,228
Oh? Great.

403
00:18:50,262 --> 00:18:51,396
There's this cute
little store,

404
00:18:51,430 --> 00:18:52,497
it's a confectionery,

405
00:18:52,531 --> 00:18:54,065
they're having an event.

406
00:18:54,100 --> 00:18:56,034
The flyer says,

407
00:18:56,068 --> 00:18:57,102
"make something sweet

408
00:18:57,136 --> 00:18:59,037
for your Valentine's day
sweetheart."

409
00:18:59,071 --> 00:19:00,472
That sounds promising.

410
00:19:00,506 --> 00:19:01,539
Yeah. I was gonna

411
00:19:01,574 --> 00:19:03,642
go with Reed,
but Jeremy has soccer practice.

412
00:19:03,676 --> 00:19:06,244
Aw. Okay, well,
thanks for the tip.

413
00:19:06,278 --> 00:19:08,113
Let me know
what I missed.

414
00:19:08,147 --> 00:19:09,180
Bye.

415
00:19:14,987 --> 00:19:16,054
Come on, busby.

416
00:19:17,156 --> 00:19:18,356
We've got to get ready.

417
00:19:21,927 --> 00:19:24,663
Well, he's back
to his normal self.

418
00:19:24,697 --> 00:19:27,365
He's chomping on the furniture,
and kissing my face at 6:00 A.M.

419
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,035
I know, I know.

420
00:19:30,069 --> 00:19:32,003
He's a pretty
great dog.

421
00:19:32,038 --> 00:19:33,004
Aw. Thank you.

422
00:19:33,039 --> 00:19:34,005
You have my card.

423
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:35,974
Call if anything changes,

424
00:19:36,008 --> 00:19:37,108
and one last thing...

425
00:19:37,143 --> 00:19:40,045
Why don't you and busby
stand right over there,

426
00:19:40,079 --> 00:19:42,380
'cause you are going
on the "wall of fame."

427
00:19:44,016 --> 00:19:45,150
Okay, buddy.

428
00:19:47,586 --> 00:19:49,054
Okay, busby!

429
00:19:49,088 --> 00:19:52,290
Smile!
One, two, three.

430
00:19:52,324 --> 00:19:54,626
That'll be a nice addition.

431
00:19:58,030 --> 00:20:00,532
Now, that's a lot of
happy patients.

432
00:20:00,566 --> 00:20:03,068
I just love it
when February rolls around.

433
00:20:03,102 --> 00:20:05,537
Romance is in the air.

434
00:20:05,571 --> 00:20:09,240
Oh! And we have to get
more silk roses.

435
00:20:09,275 --> 00:20:12,677
Nothing says "Valentine's day"
like flowers.

436
00:20:13,979 --> 00:20:17,515
Not a fan of
Valentine's day, I see?

437
00:20:17,550 --> 00:20:18,717
No. Not really.

438
00:20:18,751 --> 00:20:19,718
Me neither.

439
00:20:19,752 --> 00:20:21,553
And I thought
I was the only one.

440
00:20:21,587 --> 00:20:23,722
I do like
the chocolates.

441
00:20:23,756 --> 00:20:25,690
But that's it.

442
00:20:28,227 --> 00:20:29,994
Well, I should go.

443
00:20:30,029 --> 00:20:31,596
Thank you.

444
00:20:34,133 --> 00:20:36,968
So I'm going to this thing
tomorrow night,

445
00:20:37,002 --> 00:20:39,404
it's a... it's a class
at a confectionery,

446
00:20:39,438 --> 00:20:40,638
they make chocolates.

447
00:20:40,673 --> 00:20:42,173
That sounds fun.

448
00:20:42,208 --> 00:20:45,443
Well, cool.
I'll text you the address.

449
00:20:45,478 --> 00:20:46,444
Maybe I'll see you there.

450
00:20:46,479 --> 00:20:47,445
All right.

451
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:48,480
Have a nice day.

452
00:20:56,455 --> 00:20:59,591
"Just the dog I like."
Right.

453
00:21:12,271 --> 00:21:14,038
Okay, everyone,
we're going to get started.

454
00:21:14,073 --> 00:21:16,441
Please find a station.

455
00:21:20,713 --> 00:21:24,048
I'm Lisa the confectioner,
and I love Valentine's day.

456
00:21:24,083 --> 00:21:25,049
February 14th...

457
00:21:25,084 --> 00:21:26,351
Sorry I'm late.

458
00:21:26,385 --> 00:21:27,752
...is all about letting people
know how much you love them.

459
00:21:27,787 --> 00:21:31,156
And nothing says "love" like
giving them the perfect sweet...

460
00:21:31,190 --> 00:21:35,160
The one that's perfect
for them.

461
00:21:35,194 --> 00:21:36,761
My best friend likes
her candy sour,

462
00:21:36,796 --> 00:21:38,763
so I make "tart hearts."

463
00:21:38,798 --> 00:21:43,234
But what if you don't know
someone's favorite sweet?

464
00:21:43,269 --> 00:21:48,039
You can never, ever
go wrong with chocolate.

465
00:21:48,073 --> 00:21:50,308
And no chocolate goes better
with Valentine's day

466
00:21:50,342 --> 00:21:52,477
than chocolate fondue.

467
00:21:52,511 --> 00:21:53,745
It's so easy to make,

468
00:21:53,779 --> 00:21:56,381
and tonight,
you're gonna learn how.

469
00:21:56,415 --> 00:21:58,082
I think you're
gonna need this.

470
00:21:58,117 --> 00:21:59,617
Thank you.

471
00:22:00,653 --> 00:22:01,619
All right.
Ready? One, two, three...

472
00:22:01,654 --> 00:22:04,088
Is it too hot?

473
00:22:04,123 --> 00:22:05,557
Yes? Yes?

474
00:22:05,591 --> 00:22:06,591
It's not too hot.
It's delicious.

475
00:22:06,625 --> 00:22:08,459
Oh!

476
00:22:08,494 --> 00:22:10,428
Caramelized.
It's nice, right?

477
00:22:39,792 --> 00:22:42,594
Okay, I did not know
that that class was for couples.

478
00:22:42,628 --> 00:22:44,796
My sister got
a flyer in the mail...

479
00:22:44,830 --> 00:22:47,298
I actually had
a lot of fun.

480
00:22:47,333 --> 00:22:49,334
Oh, good. Good.

481
00:22:49,368 --> 00:22:52,604
So what's your grudge
against Valentine's day?

482
00:22:54,740 --> 00:22:57,175
Let's just say
some romantic missteps

483
00:22:57,209 --> 00:22:59,744
that occurred on that very
loaded day of the year.

484
00:22:59,778 --> 00:23:01,179
Ahh.

485
00:23:01,213 --> 00:23:02,580
How about you?

486
00:23:02,615 --> 00:23:04,249
It's not exactly
Valentine's day

487
00:23:04,283 --> 00:23:05,350
I object to.

488
00:23:05,384 --> 00:23:06,417
It's focusing

489
00:23:06,452 --> 00:23:07,752
on all the symbols
of relationships,

490
00:23:07,786 --> 00:23:09,854
instead of the things
that make them last,

491
00:23:09,889 --> 00:23:13,691
like a shared fondness
for the Red Sox.

492
00:23:13,726 --> 00:23:16,661
Or... the Yankees.

493
00:23:20,232 --> 00:23:21,900
Now, given your history
with the holiday,

494
00:23:21,934 --> 00:23:24,202
why did you want
to take that class?

495
00:23:24,236 --> 00:23:26,671
It was research
for my job.

496
00:23:26,705 --> 00:23:27,839
What line of work

497
00:23:27,907 --> 00:23:29,807
requires you to eat
chocolate fondue,

498
00:23:29,842 --> 00:23:31,276
and where do I apply?

499
00:23:31,310 --> 00:23:33,444
I'm a writer
and it is for a...

500
00:23:33,479 --> 00:23:36,614
Project that
I'm working on.

501
00:23:36,649 --> 00:23:40,418
Well, maybe we could
commiserate again sometime.

502
00:23:40,452 --> 00:23:45,657
Us anti-valentiners
are a misunderstood lot.

503
00:23:45,724 --> 00:23:47,258
Okay.

504
00:23:47,293 --> 00:23:48,559
I could come by
after work,

505
00:23:48,594 --> 00:23:52,330
check on busby,
see how he's doing.

506
00:23:52,364 --> 00:23:53,798
A vet who makes
house calls?

507
00:23:53,832 --> 00:23:55,166
I am very dedicated.

508
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:56,167
Yes, you are.

509
00:23:56,201 --> 00:23:58,336
Mm-hmm.

510
00:23:58,370 --> 00:24:01,205
How's Wednesday night?

511
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,874
Wednesday could work.

512
00:24:08,714 --> 00:24:11,549
Valentine's day gifts
can be a challenge.

513
00:24:11,583 --> 00:24:14,319
What if I give him
something he doesn't like?

514
00:24:14,353 --> 00:24:15,653
Maybe we should find
something we can do together.

515
00:24:15,688 --> 00:24:17,455
A cooking lesson?

516
00:24:17,489 --> 00:24:20,625
A lingering kiss
on a moonlit beach?

517
00:24:20,659 --> 00:24:22,460
Yeah, I went there,

518
00:24:22,494 --> 00:24:24,896
but wouldn't it be wonderful?

519
00:24:26,298 --> 00:24:27,799
Are you writing a column

520
00:24:27,833 --> 00:24:29,634
or a romance novel?

521
00:24:29,668 --> 00:24:31,769
There are no beaches
around here.

522
00:24:31,804 --> 00:24:33,271
As to the gift issue...

523
00:24:33,305 --> 00:24:36,274
Someone should give you an atlas
for Valentine's day.

524
00:24:36,308 --> 00:24:37,875
Is there a special someone?

525
00:24:37,910 --> 00:24:39,510
Do you speak from experience,

526
00:24:39,545 --> 00:24:41,512
or is it wishful thinking?

527
00:24:41,547 --> 00:24:42,613
"Send."

528
00:24:42,648 --> 00:24:44,816
Why not just
let it go?

529
00:24:44,850 --> 00:24:46,818
I don't know. She...

530
00:24:46,852 --> 00:24:49,754
Irritates me,
she intrigues me,

531
00:24:49,788 --> 00:24:52,757
whatever it is,
it's hard to resist.

532
00:24:55,928 --> 00:24:57,562
A moonlit country Lane, then!

533
00:24:57,596 --> 00:25:00,531
I was talking romance,
not geography.

534
00:25:02,301 --> 00:25:04,969
And as to my personal status
and a special someone...

535
00:25:08,741 --> 00:25:10,274
Hey!

536
00:25:11,310 --> 00:25:12,310
Hey, dad.

537
00:25:13,879 --> 00:25:14,979
What's up?

538
00:25:15,014 --> 00:25:17,749
Valentine's day research...
My least favorite topic.

539
00:25:17,783 --> 00:25:19,283
Of course, I'm out of ideas,

540
00:25:19,318 --> 00:25:21,586
so Hannah says I should
do a column on cards.

541
00:25:21,620 --> 00:25:24,822
When did you start
saving these?

542
00:25:24,857 --> 00:25:26,524
Early on.

543
00:25:26,558 --> 00:25:28,626
Remember,
I'm a hopeless romantic.

544
00:25:28,660 --> 00:25:30,628
Oh, so your
macho auto-parts gig

545
00:25:30,662 --> 00:25:31,796
is just a cover?

546
00:25:31,830 --> 00:25:32,930
Real men don't
save valentines.

547
00:25:36,835 --> 00:25:38,903
Your mom gave me this
when we were dating in college.

548
00:25:40,506 --> 00:25:42,874
Our first Valentine's day
after we got married,

549
00:25:42,908 --> 00:25:44,809
I gave her
the exact same card.

550
00:25:44,843 --> 00:25:45,977
You still
remember that?

551
00:25:46,011 --> 00:25:47,578
Like it was yesterday.

552
00:25:47,613 --> 00:25:48,579
And these...

553
00:25:48,614 --> 00:25:50,882
Are from you
and your sister.

554
00:25:50,916 --> 00:25:52,517
Oh, my gosh...

555
00:25:52,551 --> 00:25:54,619
I remember these!

556
00:25:54,653 --> 00:25:56,421
Oh!

557
00:25:56,455 --> 00:25:57,955
I must have cut out
a dozen paper hearts

558
00:25:57,990 --> 00:25:59,524
before I got
this right.

559
00:25:59,558 --> 00:26:02,360
It was sad when you guys
stopped giving them to me.

560
00:26:02,394 --> 00:26:04,495
Oh...

561
00:26:04,530 --> 00:26:05,997
I guess we just grew out of it.

562
00:26:06,031 --> 00:26:07,598
One of those turning points
for a dad,

563
00:26:07,633 --> 00:26:10,601
when other guys start
claiming his daughter's heart.

564
00:26:11,904 --> 00:26:13,337
Hannah's heart is claimed,

565
00:26:13,372 --> 00:26:14,906
mine is still up for grabs.

566
00:26:14,940 --> 00:26:15,907
Maybe it's time

567
00:26:15,941 --> 00:26:17,308
to give love
another chance.

568
00:26:17,342 --> 00:26:19,010
Fall down 10 times,

569
00:26:19,044 --> 00:26:20,812
get up 11.

570
00:26:20,846 --> 00:26:22,914
Yeah, I wish
it were that simple.

571
00:26:22,948 --> 00:26:24,982
Some of us guys
are okay.

572
00:26:25,017 --> 00:26:26,084
Yeah, and some of you are not,

573
00:26:26,118 --> 00:26:27,952
and I seem
to attract the latter.

574
00:26:29,455 --> 00:26:32,323
This really rude guy
keeps commenting on my column.

575
00:26:32,357 --> 00:26:34,492
I wish he would just go away.

576
00:26:34,526 --> 00:26:35,560
Honey.

577
00:26:35,594 --> 00:26:37,795
You can't write off
a whole gender.

578
00:26:39,865 --> 00:26:43,367
Well, actually,
I did meet someone...

579
00:26:43,402 --> 00:26:45,670
Busby's new vet.

580
00:26:45,704 --> 00:26:48,606
He's just a friend, but...

581
00:26:49,875 --> 00:26:51,676
That smile bodes well.

582
00:26:57,449 --> 00:27:00,017
As a matter of fact,
there may be someone.

583
00:27:00,052 --> 00:27:03,121
He's a friend,
but it has potential.

584
00:27:03,155 --> 00:27:04,789
And since you are so cynical,

585
00:27:04,823 --> 00:27:06,858
I will assume
you are not involved,

586
00:27:06,892 --> 00:27:10,161
and if you are,
she is in for a rude awakening.

587
00:27:13,765 --> 00:27:14,866
Kit, listen to this.

588
00:27:14,900 --> 00:27:16,434
I already saw it.

589
00:27:16,468 --> 00:27:17,435
If this
is a war of words,

590
00:27:17,469 --> 00:27:19,637
the coach
may be winning.

591
00:27:23,008 --> 00:27:25,710
The battle has just begun.

592
00:27:37,389 --> 00:27:39,323
Your numbers
are improving every day.

593
00:27:39,358 --> 00:27:41,726
People are loving the column.

594
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:42,994
Although...

595
00:27:43,028 --> 00:27:44,962
"Best Valentine's day movies"...

596
00:27:44,997 --> 00:27:48,866
Love actually
is a Christmas movie. Actually.

597
00:27:48,901 --> 00:27:50,768
You've got real momentum.
I want to keep that going.

598
00:27:50,802 --> 00:27:52,370
It's just
me giving advice

599
00:27:52,404 --> 00:27:53,638
about Valentine's day

600
00:27:53,672 --> 00:27:54,639
seems like
such a stretch.

601
00:27:54,673 --> 00:27:56,507
Oh, well, I'll tell you
why it's working...

602
00:27:56,542 --> 00:27:58,576
You're making it more personal.

603
00:27:58,610 --> 00:28:00,745
Your readers can identify.

604
00:28:00,779 --> 00:28:02,480
Not everyone's
a fan.

605
00:28:02,514 --> 00:28:04,649
Oh, you mean
"bench the coach"?

606
00:28:04,683 --> 00:28:06,984
Yeah, is there any way
that we could block him?

607
00:28:07,019 --> 00:28:08,352
Why would we?

608
00:28:08,387 --> 00:28:11,522
Every time he posts a comment,
the hits go way up.

609
00:28:11,557 --> 00:28:14,492
People want to see
what he's gonna post next.

610
00:28:14,526 --> 00:28:15,493
Great.

611
00:28:15,527 --> 00:28:17,762
I want you
to try to engage him,

612
00:28:17,796 --> 00:28:18,763
turn up the heat.

613
00:28:18,797 --> 00:28:20,097
I don't want to do that.

614
00:28:20,132 --> 00:28:21,799
Your fun
little face-off

615
00:28:21,833 --> 00:28:23,668
is part of the whole
Valentine's day conversation.

616
00:28:23,702 --> 00:28:25,036
It's not exactly
pulitzer material.

617
00:28:25,070 --> 00:28:27,505
But a happy employer
will have to suffice.

618
00:28:32,177 --> 00:28:34,712
Your best
Valentine's day movies

619
00:28:34,746 --> 00:28:36,380
are a bit predictable.

620
00:28:36,415 --> 00:28:40,051
Put away your hanky
and rethink the genre.

621
00:28:40,085 --> 00:28:41,419
Here's my list.

622
00:28:41,453 --> 00:28:43,888
I like my love stories
to have a dose of reality.

623
00:28:43,922 --> 00:28:46,424
Let's open it up
to your readers.

624
00:28:46,458 --> 00:28:47,758
Who has the better list?

625
00:28:48,860 --> 00:28:51,462
It's a column,
not a contest.

626
00:28:55,567 --> 00:28:56,534
Hi.

627
00:28:56,568 --> 00:28:57,535
Hi.

628
00:28:57,569 --> 00:28:59,070
Come on in.

629
00:29:00,105 --> 00:29:01,138
Are you okay?

630
00:29:01,173 --> 00:29:02,640
Oh, it's just
a work thing.

631
00:29:02,674 --> 00:29:05,610
This really opinionated guy
I can't seem to shake.

632
00:29:05,644 --> 00:29:06,677
Sounds like a drag.

633
00:29:06,712 --> 00:29:08,446
Oh, you have
no idea.

634
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,181
Anyway...

635
00:29:10,215 --> 00:29:11,182
Hi!

636
00:29:12,651 --> 00:29:16,120
Hey. You're not much
of a watchdog, are you?

637
00:29:16,154 --> 00:29:17,421
Hmm? I could've
grabbed her purse

638
00:29:17,456 --> 00:29:18,923
and been halfway
down the block by now.

639
00:29:18,957 --> 00:29:20,625
Well, he's a lover,
not a fighter.

640
00:29:20,659 --> 00:29:21,892
Well, in my
professional opinion,

641
00:29:21,927 --> 00:29:24,061
you have
a very happy dog.

642
00:29:29,468 --> 00:29:30,601
You?

643
00:29:30,636 --> 00:29:32,203
'Fraid so.

644
00:29:33,472 --> 00:29:36,540
That's just a piece
that I'm trying to finish.

645
00:29:38,477 --> 00:29:40,177
Oh, and the photos?

646
00:29:40,212 --> 00:29:44,015
Yes. Now, that
is my first love.

647
00:29:44,049 --> 00:29:46,684
That, and traveling.

648
00:29:46,718 --> 00:29:48,819
Nice.

649
00:29:50,956 --> 00:29:52,056
Valentines?

650
00:29:52,090 --> 00:29:53,824
Have you had a change of heart?

651
00:29:53,859 --> 00:29:54,825
No!

652
00:29:54,860 --> 00:29:56,027
They're from my family.

653
00:29:56,061 --> 00:29:57,995
They're super into it.

654
00:29:58,030 --> 00:29:59,997
Well, does your family
live nearby?

655
00:30:00,032 --> 00:30:01,232
Yeah, about
10 minutes away.

656
00:30:01,266 --> 00:30:02,633
What about yours?

657
00:30:02,668 --> 00:30:05,169
My mom lives in St. Louis,
that's where I'm from.

658
00:30:05,203 --> 00:30:08,072
I have to
get her something.

659
00:30:08,106 --> 00:30:09,573
I usually just get her a card,

660
00:30:09,608 --> 00:30:11,142
but I want to
up my game this year.

661
00:30:11,176 --> 00:30:13,144
My brother just got married
and moved away,

662
00:30:13,178 --> 00:30:15,046
so I think she's feeling
a little lonely.

663
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,581
Well, what's she like?

664
00:30:17,616 --> 00:30:18,983
She's a gardener,

665
00:30:19,017 --> 00:30:21,619
so flowers are...

666
00:30:21,653 --> 00:30:22,787
Redundant.

667
00:30:22,821 --> 00:30:23,821
Mm-hmm.

668
00:30:23,855 --> 00:30:25,990
I was thinking
maybe a piece of jewelry.

669
00:30:26,024 --> 00:30:27,892
Something subtle,
not too flashy.

670
00:30:29,795 --> 00:30:31,762
What about
an antique locket?

671
00:30:31,797 --> 00:30:32,763
Maybe.

672
00:30:32,798 --> 00:30:34,098
You could put
your picture on one side

673
00:30:34,132 --> 00:30:36,000
and your brother's
on the other.

674
00:30:36,034 --> 00:30:37,635
My Uncle has
owns antique store

675
00:30:37,669 --> 00:30:38,636
and he sells

676
00:30:38,670 --> 00:30:40,071
some vintage jewelry.

677
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,008
Maybe we should
check it out sometime.

678
00:30:44,042 --> 00:30:47,144
Well, I-I could meet you
there tomorrow.

679
00:30:47,179 --> 00:30:48,713
I'd like that.

680
00:30:48,747 --> 00:30:50,147
Me too.

681
00:30:51,917 --> 00:30:53,050
Uh-oh!

682
00:30:53,085 --> 00:30:54,185
I think
somebody's jealous.

683
00:30:54,219 --> 00:30:56,287
Yeah, well, it is
his house call, after all.

684
00:30:56,321 --> 00:30:57,888
I could make
a habit of this.

685
00:30:57,923 --> 00:30:59,590
The house calls, I mean.

686
00:30:59,624 --> 00:31:01,625
Right. Right!

687
00:31:10,168 --> 00:31:11,302
That one's
really pretty.

688
00:31:11,336 --> 00:31:12,636
What do you think?

689
00:31:12,671 --> 00:31:13,637
It's very pretty.

690
00:31:13,672 --> 00:31:15,239
Try it on,
see how it looks.

691
00:31:15,273 --> 00:31:17,041
Oh, Uncle Henry,
it's not for me.

692
00:31:17,075 --> 00:31:19,076
Who's it for?

693
00:31:19,111 --> 00:31:20,177
It's for my mother.

694
00:31:20,212 --> 00:31:22,079
Oh! That's nice.

695
00:31:22,114 --> 00:31:24,148
Well, try it on anyway,

696
00:31:24,182 --> 00:31:26,851
so he can see
what a good son he is.

697
00:31:26,885 --> 00:31:28,853
Yeah. Here. Let me.

698
00:31:29,855 --> 00:31:32,656
So this, I, uh...

699
00:31:33,992 --> 00:31:34,959
Should warn you,

700
00:31:34,993 --> 00:31:36,260
I could be back here
for a while.

701
00:31:36,294 --> 00:31:38,295
Okay...

702
00:31:42,934 --> 00:31:44,802
There we go.

703
00:31:46,738 --> 00:31:48,739
Okay.

704
00:31:50,275 --> 00:31:51,242
It's perfect.

705
00:31:51,276 --> 00:31:54,178
It's perfect.

706
00:31:54,212 --> 00:31:56,981
I'll take it.

707
00:31:58,016 --> 00:31:59,250
I'll get you a box.

708
00:32:03,321 --> 00:32:05,156
Well, great,
I'm glad this worked out.

709
00:32:05,190 --> 00:32:06,924
Yeah, my mom
is gonna love it.

710
00:32:06,958 --> 00:32:08,959
There's just one problem.

711
00:32:08,994 --> 00:32:10,728
What?

712
00:32:10,762 --> 00:32:12,830
I will never
be able to top this.

713
00:32:20,172 --> 00:32:22,139
So... so, your Uncle,
he's... he's great.

714
00:32:22,174 --> 00:32:25,676
Yeah, he's really sweet.
He's super-protective.

715
00:32:25,710 --> 00:32:27,378
When I was little,
he got me a tricycle,

716
00:32:27,412 --> 00:32:30,047
and he would not let me
ride it without a helmet on.

717
00:32:30,081 --> 00:32:31,649
Wait, actually,
that might've been my dad.

718
00:32:31,683 --> 00:32:33,150
No, it was my unc...
Anyway, doesn't matter.

719
00:32:33,185 --> 00:32:34,251
There I was,

720
00:32:34,286 --> 00:32:37,054
this little
four-year-old biker girl,

721
00:32:37,088 --> 00:32:38,756
tearing around
the neighborhood,

722
00:32:38,790 --> 00:32:40,057
in this bright pink...

723
00:32:40,091 --> 00:32:42,293
What? Am I
insane right now?

724
00:32:42,327 --> 00:32:44,195
It's okay.

725
00:32:48,900 --> 00:32:50,367
Thank you.

726
00:32:54,339 --> 00:32:56,240
Even the box
is an antique.

727
00:32:59,044 --> 00:33:00,644
Thanks.

728
00:33:00,679 --> 00:33:02,646
Okay. Enjoy
the rest of your day.

729
00:33:02,681 --> 00:33:04,882
Yeah, you too.

730
00:33:04,916 --> 00:33:06,717
Uh, you know,
I was thinking

731
00:33:06,751 --> 00:33:09,353
that maybe we could
grab dinner sometime.

732
00:33:09,387 --> 00:33:12,890
Uh, the anti-
Valentine's day club

733
00:33:12,924 --> 00:33:15,960
get together to air
their grievances.

734
00:33:15,994 --> 00:33:16,961
Sure.

735
00:33:16,995 --> 00:33:18,229
You like
Mexican food?

736
00:33:18,263 --> 00:33:19,363
I love Mexican.

737
00:33:19,397 --> 00:33:20,931
In fact, I know
a great little place,

738
00:33:20,966 --> 00:33:22,700
that's super-casual.

739
00:33:22,734 --> 00:33:24,068
Great! The club
needs a hangout.

740
00:33:24,102 --> 00:33:26,770
How's Friday?

741
00:33:26,805 --> 00:33:28,272
Friday's great.

742
00:33:28,306 --> 00:33:31,876
I'll, uh, I'll
pick you up at 7:00.

743
00:33:31,910 --> 00:33:33,244
Okay. See you then.

744
00:33:33,278 --> 00:33:34,845
Okay. All right. Bye.

745
00:33:50,929 --> 00:33:53,030
So, what
do you think?

746
00:33:53,064 --> 00:33:54,732
Ooh! I like that.
That's nice.

747
00:33:54,766 --> 00:33:56,267
Yeah? Ah...

748
00:33:56,301 --> 00:33:57,434
I already have one
like this at home.

749
00:33:57,469 --> 00:34:00,437
Do you really think
Reed will object to this?

750
00:34:00,472 --> 00:34:02,373
Probably not, no.

751
00:34:02,407 --> 00:34:03,374
I don't know,

752
00:34:03,408 --> 00:34:05,142
I want this Valentine's date
to be special.

753
00:34:05,176 --> 00:34:06,310
I want to wow him.

754
00:34:06,344 --> 00:34:08,345
The romance has fizzled
since parenthood.

755
00:34:08,380 --> 00:34:11,015
Yeah, well, I hear
that's pretty common.

756
00:34:11,049 --> 00:34:13,217
Yeah. We just need
to reconnect as a couple.

757
00:34:13,251 --> 00:34:16,453
But why do you need
a specific day to do that?

758
00:34:16,488 --> 00:34:18,822
Same reason
you need birthdays,

759
00:34:18,857 --> 00:34:19,890
anniversaries,

760
00:34:19,925 --> 00:34:22,192
or any special
day, really.

761
00:34:22,227 --> 00:34:23,260
I don't know.

762
00:34:23,295 --> 00:34:24,361
A new dress says...

763
00:34:24,396 --> 00:34:26,797
"I'm still in love with you,

764
00:34:26,831 --> 00:34:29,166
and I want to look
special for you ."

765
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:30,200
And don't tell me

766
00:34:30,268 --> 00:34:31,502
you've never felt
that way before.

767
00:34:31,536 --> 00:34:33,404
I have, but we all know
how that panned out.

768
00:34:33,438 --> 00:34:36,240
How're things going
with the new vet?

769
00:34:36,274 --> 00:34:37,975
How do you know
about him?

770
00:34:38,009 --> 00:34:39,243
Dad told mom,

771
00:34:39,277 --> 00:34:41,045
who then told me.

772
00:34:41,079 --> 00:34:42,479
No secret is safe
in this family.

773
00:34:42,514 --> 00:34:45,449
It's going fine.

774
00:34:45,483 --> 00:34:47,785
I really like him.

775
00:34:49,020 --> 00:34:50,054
Enough to invest

776
00:34:50,088 --> 00:34:51,322
in a new
Valentine's day dress?

777
00:34:51,356 --> 00:34:52,957
He's just a friend.

778
00:34:52,991 --> 00:34:54,058
"A friend
with potential."

779
00:34:54,092 --> 00:34:56,093
I read your column.

780
00:34:58,897 --> 00:35:00,998
Maybe it doesn't hurt
to look.

781
00:35:04,869 --> 00:35:05,970
Oh...

782
00:35:06,004 --> 00:35:08,005
Oh, this is gorgeous.

783
00:35:08,039 --> 00:35:09,473
I love the color.

784
00:35:09,507 --> 00:35:11,508
It's very Valentine's day.

785
00:35:12,544 --> 00:35:14,578
What if he doesn't ask me?

786
00:35:16,014 --> 00:35:18,048
Worst case, you end up
with a gorgeous new dress.

787
00:35:18,083 --> 00:35:20,050
One that
I can't afford.

788
00:35:23,555 --> 00:35:26,056
I don't think the price
is the problem.

789
00:35:39,170 --> 00:35:40,471
You want
another scone?

790
00:35:40,505 --> 00:35:41,472
Uh, yeah.

791
00:35:41,506 --> 00:35:43,173
Actually, no.

792
00:35:43,208 --> 00:35:45,542
Well, maybe.

793
00:35:45,577 --> 00:35:46,810
Not a trick question.

794
00:35:46,845 --> 00:35:49,113
Uh, you know what?
I better not.

795
00:35:49,147 --> 00:35:50,114
I better check on the muffins.

796
00:35:50,148 --> 00:35:52,349
Okay.

797
00:35:55,420 --> 00:35:57,421
So. How's Brendan?

798
00:35:57,455 --> 00:35:59,923
He's okay.
He's, uh...

799
00:35:59,958 --> 00:36:01,025
I don't mean to put you
on the spot.

800
00:36:01,059 --> 00:36:02,960
Was the whole, you know,
Valentine's day thing

801
00:36:02,994 --> 00:36:05,295
just a little, like,
overboard?

802
00:36:05,330 --> 00:36:07,131
You should...
You should talk to him.

803
00:36:07,165 --> 00:36:08,265
You think?

804
00:36:08,299 --> 00:36:11,001
Yeah. Yeah, no. Definitely.
Definitely. Definitely...

805
00:36:14,072 --> 00:36:15,305
Stop talking
about the scones.

806
00:36:15,340 --> 00:36:16,407
Tell her how you feel.

807
00:36:16,441 --> 00:36:18,208
It's that obvious?

808
00:36:18,243 --> 00:36:20,277
Yeah, it is to me,
maybe not pru.

809
00:36:29,954 --> 00:36:31,388
Want another scone?

810
00:36:31,423 --> 00:36:32,890
I don't want to
talk about scones.

811
00:36:32,924 --> 00:36:34,224
I thought you liked them?

812
00:36:34,259 --> 00:36:35,859
I do,
I just don't want

813
00:36:35,894 --> 00:36:37,227
- ...to discuss it.
- Okay.

814
00:36:38,496 --> 00:36:40,497
You have some flour
on your... on your cheek.

815
00:36:40,532 --> 00:36:42,266
No. The other one.

816
00:36:42,300 --> 00:36:45,502
Oh.
Professional hazard.

817
00:36:47,205 --> 00:36:50,040
Your hair looks
really good that way.

818
00:36:50,075 --> 00:36:51,642
It looks the way
it always does.

819
00:36:54,145 --> 00:36:56,146
You look great in that color.
Great!

820
00:36:56,181 --> 00:36:58,482
Uh, it's the uniform.

821
00:36:58,516 --> 00:37:01,085
It's not exactly
my best look.

822
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:03,520
I better get to work.

823
00:37:03,555 --> 00:37:04,521
Have a nice day.

824
00:37:04,556 --> 00:37:05,923
Ugh.

825
00:37:09,594 --> 00:37:11,261
I think he likes you.

826
00:37:11,296 --> 00:37:13,163
I don't know
what his story is.

827
00:37:13,198 --> 00:37:14,164
Yes, you do!

828
00:37:14,199 --> 00:37:16,066
I have a policy...
I don't date customers.

829
00:37:16,101 --> 00:37:17,401
Since when?

830
00:37:17,435 --> 00:37:19,136
Since the last time
I dated a customer.

831
00:37:19,170 --> 00:37:20,471
Okay, but kit's
different.

832
00:37:20,505 --> 00:37:22,039
He doesn't
have tattoos.

833
00:37:22,073 --> 00:37:24,007
You wanna know
my "life plan"?

834
00:37:24,042 --> 00:37:25,175
Pay the mortgage
off my house,

835
00:37:25,210 --> 00:37:26,443
keep this place
afloat.

836
00:37:26,478 --> 00:37:28,312
I don't have time
for a broken heart.

837
00:37:28,346 --> 00:37:29,646
Oh, who says he's gonna
break your heart?

838
00:37:29,681 --> 00:37:30,681
Says the girl

839
00:37:30,715 --> 00:37:32,249
who's still pining
over kit's best friend.

840
00:37:32,283 --> 00:37:34,518
I'm not
"pining," okay?

841
00:37:34,552 --> 00:37:36,120
I am confused.

842
00:37:36,154 --> 00:37:37,321
Yeah, well,
I don't have time

843
00:37:37,355 --> 00:37:39,523
for that kind
of confusion.

844
00:37:43,495 --> 00:37:45,696
Why don't you come over
for dinner tonight?

845
00:37:45,730 --> 00:37:48,398
Oh, I can't.
I'm having dinner with the vet.

846
00:37:48,433 --> 00:37:51,635
Brendan. I think
it's time you knew his name.

847
00:37:51,669 --> 00:37:53,103
I already
like this guy.

848
00:37:53,138 --> 00:37:55,172
But I can come over
later this week.

849
00:37:55,206 --> 00:37:57,074
Maybe bring you some food,
give you a break from cooking.

850
00:37:57,108 --> 00:37:58,509
Only if
you bring Brendan.

851
00:37:58,543 --> 00:37:59,510
I want to meet him!

852
00:37:59,544 --> 00:38:01,378
I think it's
a little soon for that.

853
00:38:01,412 --> 00:38:04,181
Is that wisdom,
or fear talking?

854
00:38:05,283 --> 00:38:07,050
Both!

855
00:38:09,621 --> 00:38:11,054
Oh, that's cute!

856
00:38:11,089 --> 00:38:12,089
Oh!

857
00:38:14,459 --> 00:38:16,260
When it comes to fashion,

858
00:38:16,294 --> 00:38:17,461
I've learned

859
00:38:17,495 --> 00:38:19,463
that second-guessing
what might interest someone else

860
00:38:19,497 --> 00:38:21,398
is foolish.

861
00:38:21,432 --> 00:38:23,300
Sure, sometimes,
it's fun to experiment,

862
00:38:23,334 --> 00:38:26,336
but, in the end,
I just try to be true to myself.

863
00:38:26,371 --> 00:38:30,040
Why do women
go to so much trouble?

864
00:38:30,074 --> 00:38:32,142
It's a date,
not an audition.

865
00:38:32,177 --> 00:38:33,277
Be who you are,

866
00:38:33,311 --> 00:38:35,312
not who you imagine
he wants you to be.

867
00:38:36,648 --> 00:38:38,148
If you want your "friend"

868
00:38:38,183 --> 00:38:39,483
to turn into more,

869
00:38:39,517 --> 00:38:42,152
focus on the conversation,
not on the outfit.

870
00:38:42,187 --> 00:38:43,587
Goodnight.

871
00:38:43,621 --> 00:38:46,623
We know he's attracted to you,
or you wouldn't have a date.

872
00:38:59,604 --> 00:39:02,005
This is
unbelievable.

873
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:03,373
Yep. Thought
you might like it.

874
00:39:03,408 --> 00:39:05,375
How do I not know
about this place?

875
00:39:05,410 --> 00:39:06,443
Because Roy doesn't
want you to know.

876
00:39:06,477 --> 00:39:07,711
Why?

877
00:39:07,745 --> 00:39:09,046
Because
more people means

878
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:10,180
more work for him.

879
00:39:10,215 --> 00:39:11,181
He's gonna have to expand.

880
00:39:11,216 --> 00:39:12,182
Avery!

881
00:39:12,217 --> 00:39:13,650
Hey, Roy.

882
00:39:13,685 --> 00:39:15,185
I want you to meet
my friend, Brendan.

883
00:39:15,220 --> 00:39:16,653
- Brendan!
- Roy.

884
00:39:16,688 --> 00:39:18,055
So how're you doing?

885
00:39:18,089 --> 00:39:19,690
Oh, my feet are swollen,
my back hurts,

886
00:39:19,724 --> 00:39:21,758
and, uh, I'm making
a whole lot of money.

887
00:39:23,061 --> 00:39:24,628
So, to celebrate my misfortune,

888
00:39:24,662 --> 00:39:27,397
I'm throwing a party
on Valentine's day.

889
00:39:27,432 --> 00:39:29,032
8:00 to 12:00,
dinner and dancing.

890
00:39:29,067 --> 00:39:31,368
You're invited...
Of course, with a friend.

891
00:39:31,402 --> 00:39:34,037
Roy, you do not seem
like the type of guy

892
00:39:34,072 --> 00:39:35,372
who'd be
into Valentine's day.

893
00:39:36,507 --> 00:39:40,043
Oh, I proposed to my Angela
on Valentine's day

894
00:39:40,078 --> 00:39:42,479
and I married her exactly
one year later.

895
00:39:42,513 --> 00:39:44,147
It's been almost 30 years.

896
00:39:44,182 --> 00:39:46,617
Valentine's day
is my anniversary.

897
00:39:47,652 --> 00:39:48,652
And there she is.

898
00:39:49,687 --> 00:39:51,255
Have a wonderful evening.

899
00:39:53,825 --> 00:39:56,593
I grew up
on Mexican food.

900
00:39:56,628 --> 00:39:59,730
Well... frozen burritos.

901
00:40:01,165 --> 00:40:02,399
Why frozen?

902
00:40:03,434 --> 00:40:05,602
My mom worked long hours.

903
00:40:06,871 --> 00:40:09,239
My parents got married
way too fast.

904
00:40:09,274 --> 00:40:12,075
A couple strangers
have a couple kids...

905
00:40:12,110 --> 00:40:14,177
Divorce is inevitable.

906
00:40:15,513 --> 00:40:16,713
I'm sorry.

907
00:40:16,748 --> 00:40:19,216
Mm. I'm not jaded by nature,

908
00:40:19,250 --> 00:40:20,851
it's just
that Valentine's day

909
00:40:20,885 --> 00:40:23,720
always seems to remind me of all
the things that can go wrong.

910
00:40:27,525 --> 00:40:29,493
I'm doing all
the talking here.

911
00:40:29,527 --> 00:40:32,663
Now, what is the story...
The real story...

912
00:40:32,697 --> 00:40:35,365
With you
and the dreaded holiday?

913
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:36,700
Real story?

914
00:40:36,734 --> 00:40:37,801
Mm-hmm.

915
00:40:37,835 --> 00:40:42,239
A really, really, really
bad break-up.

916
00:40:43,308 --> 00:40:44,875
And I got him a watch,

917
00:40:44,909 --> 00:40:46,877
which I promptly
gave to goodwill,

918
00:40:46,911 --> 00:40:48,111
so there's some guy out there

919
00:40:48,146 --> 00:40:50,113
walking around with a watch
that says

920
00:40:50,148 --> 00:40:51,782
"happy Valentine's day.
Love Avery."

921
00:40:51,816 --> 00:40:54,418
That's what my watch says.

922
00:40:55,787 --> 00:40:57,120
Crazy!

923
00:40:58,356 --> 00:41:00,424
Well, the food's
pretty good,

924
00:41:00,458 --> 00:41:02,492
and so is the company.

925
00:41:02,527 --> 00:41:04,428
I don't want to get
kicked out of the club,

926
00:41:04,462 --> 00:41:06,463
but how would you feel
about coming back here

927
00:41:06,497 --> 00:41:08,231
on Valentine's day?

928
00:41:09,267 --> 00:41:10,734
I think that I could
probably handle it.

929
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:11,735
Yeah?

930
00:41:11,769 --> 00:41:12,736
Mm-hmm.

931
00:41:12,770 --> 00:41:15,172
Mm. So it's a... non-date?

932
00:41:15,206 --> 00:41:17,374
Right.

933
00:41:17,408 --> 00:41:19,743
All right.

934
00:41:24,749 --> 00:41:25,816
Listen, Avery,

935
00:41:25,850 --> 00:41:27,918
there's... there's something
I should tell you.

936
00:41:28,953 --> 00:41:29,920
What?

937
00:41:29,954 --> 00:41:33,256
And it's best
that I just tell you now,

938
00:41:33,291 --> 00:41:34,524
get it
out of the way.

939
00:41:34,559 --> 00:41:35,659
I-I don't want it

940
00:41:35,693 --> 00:41:37,961
to come between us.

941
00:41:39,630 --> 00:41:41,832
Okay.

942
00:41:41,866 --> 00:41:45,302
I am a horrible dancer.

943
00:41:46,671 --> 00:41:47,637
No rhythm.

944
00:41:47,672 --> 00:41:48,772
No coordination.

945
00:41:48,806 --> 00:41:49,906
I have stepped
on many a toe.

946
00:41:49,941 --> 00:41:51,942
It's okay, I am not
much of a dancer myself.

947
00:41:51,976 --> 00:41:53,510
Then we'll just
sit on the sideline?

948
00:41:53,544 --> 00:41:54,511
Yes. Absolutely.

949
00:41:54,545 --> 00:41:55,545
- Of course.
- Thank you.

950
00:41:55,580 --> 00:41:56,546
Although, you know,

951
00:41:56,581 --> 00:41:57,914
I did see
something online...

952
00:41:57,949 --> 00:42:00,250
"Learn to dance
by Valentine's day."

953
00:42:00,284 --> 00:42:02,853
It's at one of
the dance studios downtown.

954
00:42:02,887 --> 00:42:04,421
Could be fun?

955
00:42:04,455 --> 00:42:06,857
I'm game, if you are.

956
00:42:07,892 --> 00:42:09,760
Yeah.

957
00:42:09,794 --> 00:42:10,927
All right.

958
00:42:16,901 --> 00:42:19,202
Happy comes at a price.

959
00:42:19,237 --> 00:42:22,706
If he can make me
feel this good...

960
00:42:22,740 --> 00:42:25,776
He can make me
feel just as bad.

961
00:42:26,778 --> 00:42:28,378
I have a date
for Valentine's day.

962
00:42:30,314 --> 00:42:31,815
But what if he hadn't asked?

963
00:42:31,849 --> 00:42:33,884
I'd be miserable.

964
00:42:33,918 --> 00:42:37,721
Although I'd never admit it,
not even to myself.

965
00:42:45,763 --> 00:42:47,864
You asked if I was involved.

966
00:42:47,899 --> 00:42:50,333
I met someone I really like,

967
00:42:50,368 --> 00:42:52,669
and she doesn't need
any Valentine's day validation

968
00:42:52,703 --> 00:42:54,371
to feel worthwhile.

969
00:42:54,405 --> 00:42:57,407
You could learn a lot from her.

970
00:43:00,912 --> 00:43:04,748
Leave it to you to ruin
a perfectly good night.

971
00:43:09,187 --> 00:43:10,754
What is?

972
00:43:10,788 --> 00:43:12,122
Bench's responses
to the column.

973
00:43:12,156 --> 00:43:13,723
There's hundreds
of comments here.

974
00:43:13,758 --> 00:43:15,125
Really?

975
00:43:15,159 --> 00:43:16,460
Yeah. They're not all fans.

976
00:43:16,494 --> 00:43:17,494
Some of them
agree with bench.

977
00:43:17,528 --> 00:43:19,162
You can't be serious.

978
00:43:19,197 --> 00:43:21,198
He's bringing in
a male readership.

979
00:43:21,232 --> 00:43:22,332
There's a real

980
00:43:22,366 --> 00:43:24,468
"he said/she said" thing
going on.

981
00:43:24,502 --> 00:43:25,836
Great reading.

982
00:43:25,870 --> 00:43:26,837
Great.

983
00:43:26,871 --> 00:43:28,572
So I suppose you want me
to push back,

984
00:43:28,606 --> 00:43:29,573
keep boosting the numbers.

985
00:43:29,607 --> 00:43:31,308
Oh, we're gonna do
much more than that.

986
00:43:31,342 --> 00:43:33,477
We are?

987
00:43:33,511 --> 00:43:35,779
Yeah, you drop by my office.
I'll tell you my idea.

988
00:43:37,248 --> 00:43:39,850
How do I get rid of this guy?

989
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,282
You have company.

990
00:44:14,752 --> 00:44:15,719
Good morning.

991
00:44:15,753 --> 00:44:17,921
Hi, pru.

992
00:44:19,490 --> 00:44:20,590
Hello.

993
00:44:20,625 --> 00:44:22,425
Hey. You got
a minute?

994
00:44:22,460 --> 00:44:26,296
I was hoping that
we could bury the hatchet.

995
00:44:27,398 --> 00:44:28,865
Okay.

996
00:44:28,900 --> 00:44:31,935
Um...

997
00:44:31,969 --> 00:44:33,904
So, how
are you doing?

998
00:44:33,938 --> 00:44:36,439
I'm okay.

999
00:44:37,808 --> 00:44:39,309
Listen.

1000
00:44:39,343 --> 00:44:41,244
I've been
thinking about us.

1001
00:44:41,279 --> 00:44:43,280
Maybe it was a mistake,

1002
00:44:43,314 --> 00:44:44,748
writing to
"consult the coach."

1003
00:44:44,782 --> 00:44:48,618
"The coach"
is not really qualified

1004
00:44:48,653 --> 00:44:50,220
to give advice.

1005
00:44:50,254 --> 00:44:51,688
You've been
reading her column?

1006
00:44:53,457 --> 00:44:55,559
As a matter
of fact, I have.

1007
00:44:55,593 --> 00:44:57,961
Someone's been giving
her a lot of grief,

1008
00:44:57,995 --> 00:45:00,263
and it's given me
second thoughts.

1009
00:45:01,465 --> 00:45:03,433
"Bench the coach"

1010
00:45:03,467 --> 00:45:04,834
is me.

1011
00:45:04,869 --> 00:45:06,836
What?

1012
00:45:06,871 --> 00:45:08,238
Maybe I overreacted,

1013
00:45:08,272 --> 00:45:09,940
but what she said,

1014
00:45:09,974 --> 00:45:11,741
she's never even met me.

1015
00:45:12,777 --> 00:45:15,612
Do you want coffee
or something?

1016
00:45:15,646 --> 00:45:17,380
I-I should get going.

1017
00:45:17,415 --> 00:45:19,282
I'm glad you stopped by.

1018
00:45:23,621 --> 00:45:24,688
Brendan?

1019
00:45:24,722 --> 00:45:26,990
I'm...

1020
00:45:28,292 --> 00:45:29,993
Sorry if I went overboard,

1021
00:45:30,027 --> 00:45:32,729
with Valentine's...

1022
00:45:32,763 --> 00:45:34,297
It's just...

1023
00:45:34,332 --> 00:45:36,399
I love romance

1024
00:45:36,434 --> 00:45:39,035
and Valentine's day
is really important to me.

1025
00:45:39,070 --> 00:45:41,438
I understand.

1026
00:45:41,472 --> 00:45:43,039
Maybe we could do something...

1027
00:45:43,074 --> 00:45:45,375
You know,

1028
00:45:45,409 --> 00:45:46,443
low-key?

1029
00:45:46,477 --> 00:45:48,411
Dinner and a movie,
no big deal.

1030
00:45:48,446 --> 00:45:51,014
Oh, McKenna,
I am sorry, I can't.

1031
00:45:52,083 --> 00:45:54,684
Oh. Can I ask why?

1032
00:45:55,953 --> 00:45:58,555
I'm going to a party.

1033
00:45:59,957 --> 00:46:02,425
You have a date
for Valentine's day?

1034
00:46:02,460 --> 00:46:04,461
It just kind of happened.

1035
00:46:04,495 --> 00:46:05,996
I met Avery after you...

1036
00:46:06,030 --> 00:46:07,964
I hope you two have
a lovely night.

1037
00:46:07,999 --> 00:46:09,032
McKenna.

1038
00:46:21,078 --> 00:46:22,579
You want
me to what?

1039
00:46:22,613 --> 00:46:23,580
Pull back
the curtains.

1040
00:46:23,614 --> 00:46:25,548
Let people know who
the coach really is.

1041
00:46:25,583 --> 00:46:26,750
What would
be the point?

1042
00:46:26,784 --> 00:46:28,385
Force "bench"
to reveal who he is.

1043
00:46:28,419 --> 00:46:29,986
I couldn't care less
who he is.

1044
00:46:30,021 --> 00:46:31,421
Here's what
I'm thinking...

1045
00:46:31,455 --> 00:46:32,756
An event
to generate buzz.

1046
00:46:32,790 --> 00:46:35,325
"The gloves are off
and now the masks."

1047
00:46:35,359 --> 00:46:37,494
My mask is staying
right where it is.

1048
00:46:37,528 --> 00:46:41,064
Stop raining on your own parade
and hear me out.

1049
00:46:41,098 --> 00:46:42,732
We build it up,

1050
00:46:42,767 --> 00:46:44,467
and then the day before
Valentine's day,

1051
00:46:44,502 --> 00:46:46,770
we reveal the identity
of the coach,

1052
00:46:46,804 --> 00:46:49,706
and then we challenge bench
to do the same.

1053
00:46:49,740 --> 00:46:52,609
And then you want us
to, what, box?

1054
00:46:52,643 --> 00:46:54,544
Wrestle?

1055
00:46:54,578 --> 00:46:55,712
Cage-fight?

1056
00:46:55,746 --> 00:46:56,780
Debate.

1057
00:46:56,814 --> 00:46:59,082
I want you to debate
your brains out.

1058
00:46:59,116 --> 00:47:00,383
Think of
the publicity!

1059
00:47:00,418 --> 00:47:01,384
You'll do interviews.

1060
00:47:01,419 --> 00:47:03,520
Your phone will be
ringing off the hook.

1061
00:47:03,554 --> 00:47:04,954
I don't have
a phone with a hook.

1062
00:47:04,989 --> 00:47:06,056
And bench might not even show,

1063
00:47:06,090 --> 00:47:07,791
which would mean
you would win by default.

1064
00:47:07,825 --> 00:47:08,858
Look, the problem is,

1065
00:47:08,893 --> 00:47:10,960
I like the fact
that the coach is anonymous.

1066
00:47:12,029 --> 00:47:14,564
Do you know why your column
is so popular?

1067
00:47:14,598 --> 00:47:17,767
It's because you write
about your feelings.

1068
00:47:17,802 --> 00:47:19,969
It's time
for you to stop hiding.

1069
00:47:33,017 --> 00:47:36,753
There's no such thing
as "I can't dance."

1070
00:47:36,787 --> 00:47:38,955
It just takes practice.

1071
00:47:38,989 --> 00:47:41,691
Okay.

1072
00:47:42,993 --> 00:47:44,627
Oh! Sorry.

1073
00:47:44,662 --> 00:47:45,862
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

1074
00:47:45,896 --> 00:47:48,598
No, my fault.
It's okay.

1075
00:47:54,472 --> 00:47:55,872
Ow...

1076
00:47:55,906 --> 00:47:57,073
I am a disaster.

1077
00:47:57,108 --> 00:47:59,042
I... are you okay?

1078
00:47:59,076 --> 00:48:00,677
Yeah, I'm fine.

1079
00:48:00,711 --> 00:48:02,145
You just might have to
carry me home.

1080
00:48:02,179 --> 00:48:03,146
Okay.

1081
00:48:03,180 --> 00:48:04,147
You mustn't give up.

1082
00:48:04,181 --> 00:48:07,417
Let's try something
a little slower.

1083
00:48:07,451 --> 00:48:10,086
Give your feet time
to catch up with your heart.

1084
00:48:10,121 --> 00:48:11,688
All right.

1085
00:48:11,722 --> 00:48:13,923
Now hold
your partner close.

1086
00:48:13,958 --> 00:48:15,692
Ahh...

1087
00:48:15,726 --> 00:48:17,994
Closer...

1088
00:48:18,028 --> 00:48:21,731
Now look into her eyes.

1089
00:48:24,668 --> 00:48:28,471
Surrender to the moment
and the music.

1090
00:48:34,812 --> 00:48:37,714
There's never been anybody
I couldn't teach!

1091
00:48:46,657 --> 00:48:47,991
Look at them.

1092
00:48:48,025 --> 00:48:51,060
They've been together so long,
and they're still holding hands.

1093
00:48:51,095 --> 00:48:53,563
Oh, yeah.

1094
00:48:53,597 --> 00:48:55,965
All those years
of loving each other,

1095
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:57,934
and the fighting
and making up.

1096
00:48:57,968 --> 00:49:00,970
Hanging in when
the going gets tough.

1097
00:49:08,879 --> 00:49:12,048
The past doesn't have
to define the future.

1098
00:49:13,884 --> 00:49:15,819
I wrote that once.

1099
00:49:15,853 --> 00:49:18,721
Not sure that
I believed it then.

1100
00:49:18,756 --> 00:49:20,790
You believe it now?

1101
00:49:21,959 --> 00:49:24,027
I want to.

1102
00:49:26,130 --> 00:49:27,730
I mean, that's what
everybody dreams of

1103
00:49:27,765 --> 00:49:30,099
when they're
younger, right?

1104
00:49:30,134 --> 00:49:33,136
A love that stands
the test of time.

1105
00:49:38,309 --> 00:49:41,211
Valentine's day
came early this year.

1106
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,114
I think I have a boyfriend.

1107
00:49:58,629 --> 00:49:59,596
Look at you,

1108
00:49:59,630 --> 00:50:00,797
getting all
serious and fit.

1109
00:50:00,831 --> 00:50:01,865
I've already
lost five pounds.

1110
00:50:01,899 --> 00:50:02,866
You're not gonna be
the only veterinary stud

1111
00:50:02,900 --> 00:50:03,867
in the neighborhood.

1112
00:50:03,901 --> 00:50:06,069
How often
are you running?

1113
00:50:06,103 --> 00:50:07,604
Every day.

1114
00:50:07,638 --> 00:50:09,205
Nice.

1115
00:50:09,240 --> 00:50:11,508
What inspired
this transformation?

1116
00:50:11,542 --> 00:50:12,842
Oh, I just want
to get in shape.

1117
00:50:12,877 --> 00:50:14,210
You know,
lose the love handles,

1118
00:50:14,245 --> 00:50:15,945
work the cardio,
live a little longer.

1119
00:50:15,980 --> 00:50:18,047
Who is she?

1120
00:50:19,283 --> 00:50:20,917
It's pru.

1121
00:50:20,951 --> 00:50:22,619
Why haven't you
asked her out yet?

1122
00:50:22,653 --> 00:50:24,053
I'm just waiting for
the right moment.

1123
00:50:24,088 --> 00:50:26,122
You have literally had
hundreds of moments.

1124
00:50:26,156 --> 00:50:27,257
You're in there every day.

1125
00:50:27,291 --> 00:50:28,625
All right,
the right words then.

1126
00:50:28,659 --> 00:50:29,626
The right wardrobe.

1127
00:50:29,660 --> 00:50:30,760
It would help
if I was taller.

1128
00:50:30,794 --> 00:50:32,562
You just gotta get
out of your comfort zone.

1129
00:50:32,596 --> 00:50:33,763
I stepped out
of mine with Avery,

1130
00:50:33,797 --> 00:50:35,031
and I couldn't
be happier.

1131
00:50:35,065 --> 00:50:36,165
I don't have
a comfort zone.

1132
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:38,601
I have varying
degrees of anxiety.

1133
00:50:41,839 --> 00:50:42,972
Avery and I

1134
00:50:43,007 --> 00:50:45,074
made a date
for Valentine's day.

1135
00:50:45,109 --> 00:50:47,076
Huh! You're really
taking the plunge.

1136
00:50:47,111 --> 00:50:48,645
I like her a lot.

1137
00:50:48,679 --> 00:50:51,180
I just can't
help thinking

1138
00:50:51,215 --> 00:50:53,616
what if it
doesn't work out?

1139
00:50:53,651 --> 00:50:55,718
What's the worst
that could happen?

1140
00:51:09,700 --> 00:51:11,267
I need you to do something.

1141
00:51:23,781 --> 00:51:24,981
Hi, McKenna.

1142
00:51:25,015 --> 00:51:27,250
How come you didn't tell me
about Brendan?

1143
00:51:28,319 --> 00:51:30,053
Tell you what
about Brendan?

1144
00:51:30,087 --> 00:51:32,288
That he was dating
somebody new.

1145
00:51:32,323 --> 00:51:34,958
Ava... Emory...

1146
00:51:34,992 --> 00:51:35,959
Avery. Avery Parker?

1147
00:51:35,993 --> 00:51:37,660
What's she like?

1148
00:51:37,695 --> 00:51:38,661
I-I don't
know her that well.

1149
00:51:38,696 --> 00:51:40,263
She brought her dog in
a couple times.

1150
00:51:40,297 --> 00:51:41,664
Is it serious?

1151
00:51:41,699 --> 00:51:43,833
- The dog is fine.
- You know what I mean.

1152
00:51:43,867 --> 00:51:46,903
You should talk to Brendan.

1153
00:51:56,914 --> 00:51:59,415
You know what?
I'm gonna go.

1154
00:52:03,687 --> 00:52:07,023
If you wait too long
you're gonna lose him.

1155
00:52:07,057 --> 00:52:08,858
He makes me nervous.
I hate that feeling.

1156
00:52:08,892 --> 00:52:11,027
I think that means
that you like him.

1157
00:52:11,061 --> 00:52:13,696
No, it means
we need to drop it.

1158
00:52:14,732 --> 00:52:16,199
Okay, you made
your point.

1159
00:52:17,234 --> 00:52:19,369
Tell me
this isn't an omen.

1160
00:52:19,403 --> 00:52:22,405
The omen needs
more cinnamon.

1161
00:52:22,439 --> 00:52:24,674
I'll bake
another batch.

1162
00:52:30,147 --> 00:52:31,781
Thanks
for bringing dinner.

1163
00:52:31,815 --> 00:52:32,782
Of course!

1164
00:52:32,816 --> 00:52:34,283
Anything to avoid writing.

1165
00:52:34,318 --> 00:52:36,753
Why do you want
to avoid writing?

1166
00:52:36,787 --> 00:52:39,022
Because you're not considered
a real writer if you don't.

1167
00:52:39,056 --> 00:52:40,657
I'm a real writer.

1168
00:52:40,691 --> 00:52:42,091
Oh, is that so?

1169
00:52:42,126 --> 00:52:44,193
Wanna see
what I wrote to Josie?

1170
00:52:44,228 --> 00:52:46,229
I sure do.

1171
00:52:48,966 --> 00:52:50,366
Wait till
you see this.

1172
00:52:50,401 --> 00:52:51,367
It is so sweet.

1173
00:52:51,402 --> 00:52:52,902
Oh, and Reed said
he's gonna be late,

1174
00:52:52,936 --> 00:52:54,804
so we should
start without him.

1175
00:52:54,838 --> 00:52:56,205
Aunt Avery.

1176
00:52:57,274 --> 00:52:58,307
Oh!

1177
00:52:59,743 --> 00:53:01,177
That's so pretty.

1178
00:53:01,211 --> 00:53:03,012
Thanks. Read it!

1179
00:53:04,014 --> 00:53:05,448
Hey. Why don't you read it?

1180
00:53:05,482 --> 00:53:07,850
It's always better
in the author's own voice.

1181
00:53:07,885 --> 00:53:09,085
"Dear Josie,

1182
00:53:09,119 --> 00:53:10,853
"I am glad you are my friend.

1183
00:53:10,888 --> 00:53:13,056
"I like how you laugh

1184
00:53:13,090 --> 00:53:14,857
"and you are really good
at math.

1185
00:53:14,892 --> 00:53:16,993
You also have
very pretty hair."

1186
00:53:17,027 --> 00:53:19,429
She has very pretty red hair,
like yours.

1187
00:53:19,463 --> 00:53:21,964
Girls love it
when you say stuff like that.

1188
00:53:21,999 --> 00:53:25,101
"I hope you have
a happy Valentine's day,

1189
00:53:25,135 --> 00:53:30,139
and I hope you like this card
as much as I like you."

1190
00:53:32,209 --> 00:53:34,977
I think she's gonna love it.

1191
00:53:35,012 --> 00:53:37,380
I wish I could be
as honest in my writing.

1192
00:53:40,484 --> 00:53:42,151
Thanks.

1193
00:53:42,186 --> 00:53:43,319
All right.
Go wash up for dinner.

1194
00:53:43,353 --> 00:53:45,021
Okay.

1195
00:53:47,357 --> 00:53:50,159
I think your writing
is very honest,

1196
00:53:50,194 --> 00:53:51,160
especially lately.

1197
00:53:51,195 --> 00:53:52,428
You sound like my editor.

1198
00:53:52,463 --> 00:53:53,463
Maybe it's Brendan.

1199
00:53:53,497 --> 00:53:55,465
This new romance has
given you more daring.

1200
00:53:55,499 --> 00:53:57,200
Okay, I wouldn't call it
a romance.

1201
00:53:57,234 --> 00:53:58,201
Not yet.

1202
00:53:58,235 --> 00:54:00,870
Why don't you invite him
to mom's potluck?

1203
00:54:00,904 --> 00:54:02,939
No! It is way too early
for him to meet my family.

1204
00:54:02,973 --> 00:54:05,508
Mention it as a casual,
off-the-cuff thing,

1205
00:54:05,542 --> 00:54:07,276
and then ask him
how many kids he wants to have.

1206
00:54:07,311 --> 00:54:09,445
Who are you talking about?

1207
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:10,980
Aunt Avery's
new boyfriend.

1208
00:54:11,014 --> 00:54:12,048
Enough.

1209
00:54:12,082 --> 00:54:14,917
What'll I wear
to the wedding?

1210
00:54:17,821 --> 00:54:19,856
This place
is a dog's paradise.

1211
00:54:19,890 --> 00:54:20,923
This place is beautiful.

1212
00:54:20,958 --> 00:54:21,991
We come here
every weekend.

1213
00:54:22,025 --> 00:54:24,260
It's a trek,
but it's worth it.

1214
00:54:24,294 --> 00:54:25,795
Do you notice
who he's been

1215
00:54:25,829 --> 00:54:26,896
spending a lot
more time with?

1216
00:54:26,930 --> 00:54:28,965
Seriously. Are you
gonna go there?

1217
00:54:28,999 --> 00:54:30,099
I'm just saying.

1218
00:54:30,134 --> 00:54:31,434
Come on.

1219
00:54:31,468 --> 00:54:34,837
No, no, we both know
who has his heart.

1220
00:54:34,872 --> 00:54:37,507
Well, I'm glad you're
giving up on that easily.

1221
00:54:37,541 --> 00:54:38,541
Oh, it's just as well.

1222
00:54:38,575 --> 00:54:41,077
I don't want to
confuse the little guy.

1223
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:43,880
Before he took off,

1224
00:54:43,914 --> 00:54:45,448
my dad used to
take me hiking

1225
00:54:45,482 --> 00:54:47,350
at a place almost
as beautiful as this.

1226
00:54:48,919 --> 00:54:51,521
I can't imagine
how rough that was.

1227
00:54:51,555 --> 00:54:53,956
Do you wanna go
to dinner tomorrow night?

1228
00:54:53,991 --> 00:54:56,492
We could go back
to El adobe.

1229
00:54:56,527 --> 00:54:58,194
I would love to,

1230
00:54:58,228 --> 00:55:00,296
but I've got a potluck
at my mom's house.

1231
00:55:00,364 --> 00:55:01,931
It's kind
of a tradition.

1232
00:55:01,965 --> 00:55:03,866
No problem.

1233
00:55:03,901 --> 00:55:05,902
You want to come?

1234
00:55:07,271 --> 00:55:08,337
You know what?
It's okay.

1235
00:55:08,372 --> 00:55:11,007
My family can be
really overwhelming.

1236
00:55:11,041 --> 00:55:12,108
It would be a lot of...

1237
00:55:12,142 --> 00:55:15,444
What does one
bring to a potluck?

1238
00:55:15,479 --> 00:55:17,180
Well, "honorary Parkers"
don't bring anything.

1239
00:55:17,214 --> 00:55:20,316
That's... that's what
my mom calls a guest.

1240
00:55:20,350 --> 00:55:22,385
I'm okay
with that handle,

1241
00:55:22,419 --> 00:55:24,554
but I do want to
bring something.

1242
00:55:29,126 --> 00:55:30,359
Seriously?

1243
00:55:30,394 --> 00:55:31,894
The anti-valentiners

1244
00:55:31,929 --> 00:55:33,930
are challenged
around every turn.

1245
00:55:33,964 --> 00:55:36,365
Hearts are becoming
unavoidable.

1246
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,635
I'm not as "anti"
as I used to be.

1247
00:55:41,872 --> 00:55:45,107
I'd hate to disband
the club, but...

1248
00:55:45,142 --> 00:55:47,910
Sometimes, you just got
to go with the flow.

1249
00:56:07,331 --> 00:56:09,031
What's the matter
with you?

1250
00:56:09,066 --> 00:56:11,033
"Bench the coach"

1251
00:56:11,068 --> 00:56:13,002
I think
it's a little too harsh.

1252
00:56:13,036 --> 00:56:15,004
I'm trying to unsend it.

1253
00:56:15,038 --> 00:56:16,272
You do realize
that you and bench

1254
00:56:16,306 --> 00:56:17,974
are the same guy,
right?

1255
00:56:18,008 --> 00:56:21,410
We seem to be diverging.

1256
00:56:21,445 --> 00:56:22,545
I'm not as critical.

1257
00:56:22,579 --> 00:56:24,313
Not anymore.

1258
00:56:24,348 --> 00:56:26,215
Why? What'd you write?

1259
00:56:26,250 --> 00:56:29,452
A snarky one-liner
about her corny taste in music.

1260
00:56:29,486 --> 00:56:32,154
I think
she'll survive.

1261
00:56:33,323 --> 00:56:35,024
She's probably
just some lonely soul

1262
00:56:35,058 --> 00:56:36,959
with no one in her life.

1263
00:56:36,994 --> 00:56:38,160
Except for bench.

1264
00:56:38,195 --> 00:56:39,662
Maybe that's
why she's responding.

1265
00:56:39,696 --> 00:56:41,330
You wanna
grab some lunch?

1266
00:56:41,365 --> 00:56:42,331
Let's go to the deli.

1267
00:56:42,366 --> 00:56:44,467
I have to get potato salad,
a lot of it.

1268
00:56:44,501 --> 00:56:46,569
Okay. How much do you want?

1269
00:56:46,603 --> 00:56:49,038
Enough to feed
six to eight people.

1270
00:56:49,072 --> 00:56:50,306
You are hungry.

1271
00:56:50,340 --> 00:56:52,108
It's not all for me.

1272
00:56:52,142 --> 00:56:53,609
Avery invited me
to dinner with her family.

1273
00:56:53,644 --> 00:56:55,678
So you could barely
handle Valentine's day,

1274
00:56:55,712 --> 00:56:57,280
and now you're
meeting the family?

1275
00:56:57,314 --> 00:56:58,347
It's no big deal.

1276
00:56:58,382 --> 00:56:59,448
I asked her to dinner,

1277
00:56:59,483 --> 00:57:02,251
she was going to her mom's,
and invited me along.

1278
00:57:02,286 --> 00:57:03,486
Right. Right.

1279
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:05,288
Well, don't make
yourself nuts.

1280
00:57:05,322 --> 00:57:07,223
It's just a meal.

1281
00:57:07,257 --> 00:57:09,225
With her family.

1282
00:57:10,627 --> 00:57:12,628
When are you
gonna ask pru out?

1283
00:57:12,663 --> 00:57:13,629
Soon.

1284
00:57:13,664 --> 00:57:15,498
Great!

1285
00:57:15,532 --> 00:57:16,565
Someday.

1286
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:17,566
Good.

1287
00:57:17,601 --> 00:57:20,002
You know.
I don't know.

1288
00:57:20,037 --> 00:57:22,038
She might
turn me down.

1289
00:57:22,072 --> 00:57:24,473
There's only one
way to find out.

1290
00:57:25,676 --> 00:57:27,176
Right.

1291
00:57:29,179 --> 00:57:31,213
It's no secret to my readers

1292
00:57:31,248 --> 00:57:33,482
that I wasn't a fan
of Valentine's day.

1293
00:57:34,518 --> 00:57:37,153
But once I started
writing about it...

1294
00:57:37,187 --> 00:57:39,388
My attitude changed.

1295
00:57:40,390 --> 00:57:42,024
Valentine's day
is a way to celebrate

1296
00:57:42,059 --> 00:57:45,561
the relationships
that give our lives meaning.

1297
00:57:45,595 --> 00:57:48,130
Something "bench the coach"
doesn't seem to understand.

1298
00:57:48,165 --> 00:57:49,732
He's trying!

1299
00:57:49,766 --> 00:57:51,467
So it's time to call him out.

1300
00:57:51,501 --> 00:57:53,569
This Thursday at 3:00,

1301
00:57:53,603 --> 00:57:55,571
I'll be
at the Portland banner.

1302
00:57:55,605 --> 00:57:58,007
Come meet the person
you've been attacking.

1303
00:58:01,678 --> 00:58:03,646
"Attacking" may be a bit strong,

1304
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:05,982
but consider me called out.

1305
00:58:06,016 --> 00:58:07,550
All right, buddy!

1306
00:58:11,288 --> 00:58:13,255
And my landlady
pounds on my door.

1307
00:58:13,290 --> 00:58:14,957
Her cat
had swallowed an earring,

1308
00:58:14,992 --> 00:58:16,592
so I retrieve the earring,
save the cat.

1309
00:58:16,626 --> 00:58:20,529
She was so grateful,
she let me live there rent-free.

1310
00:58:20,564 --> 00:58:22,064
I was able to pay off
my student loans.

1311
00:58:22,099 --> 00:58:23,966
That cat
paid for my education.

1312
00:58:24,001 --> 00:58:25,468
Maybe I'll be a vet
when I grow up.

1313
00:58:25,502 --> 00:58:27,570
Or a writer.
Or a fireman.

1314
00:58:27,604 --> 00:58:29,605
They say kids your age
will live to be a hundred,

1315
00:58:29,639 --> 00:58:31,974
so maybe you'll have time
to be all three.

1316
00:58:32,009 --> 00:58:34,010
Do you still live
in that apartment?

1317
00:58:34,044 --> 00:58:35,077
I finally got a house,

1318
00:58:35,112 --> 00:58:37,346
and then I got a cat
to remind me I'm home.

1319
00:58:37,381 --> 00:58:38,447
Aw!

1320
00:58:38,482 --> 00:58:41,217
How many kids
do you wanna have?

1321
00:58:41,251 --> 00:58:42,585
A dozen, at least.

1322
00:58:42,619 --> 00:58:45,021
When are you guys
getting married?

1323
00:58:45,055 --> 00:58:46,222
Okay! Wow! Sweetie. Um...

1324
00:58:46,256 --> 00:58:48,991
Brendan and I
are just friends.

1325
00:58:49,026 --> 00:58:51,594
But my mom needs to know
what to wear to the wedding.

1326
00:58:51,628 --> 00:58:52,661
Okay!

1327
00:58:52,696 --> 00:58:54,930
I'm so glad
you could meet my family.

1328
00:58:54,965 --> 00:58:56,132
So am I.

1329
00:58:56,166 --> 00:58:57,566
Dinner was great.
Thank you.

1330
00:58:57,601 --> 00:58:59,468
Wanna see
grandma's new canary?

1331
00:58:59,503 --> 00:59:02,505
I thought
you would never ask!

1332
00:59:06,309 --> 00:59:08,010
Well, we know
he likes kids.

1333
00:59:08,045 --> 00:59:10,079
He's wonderful, Avery.

1334
00:59:10,113 --> 00:59:11,180
I agree.

1335
00:59:11,214 --> 00:59:13,215
I'd like him better
if he wasn't so good-looking.

1336
00:59:13,250 --> 00:59:15,184
Yeah, well,
nobody's perfect.

1337
00:59:15,218 --> 00:59:16,685
Why don't you invite him
to the face-off with bench?

1338
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:18,487
The canary is sleeping.

1339
00:59:18,522 --> 00:59:19,989
I'll meet him next time.

1340
00:59:20,023 --> 00:59:21,390
Who wants chocolate?

1341
00:59:21,425 --> 00:59:22,425
Hmm?

1342
00:59:22,459 --> 00:59:24,160
'Tis the season.

1343
00:59:24,194 --> 00:59:25,494
It certainly is.

1344
00:59:25,529 --> 00:59:27,396
Brendan, how do you feel
about basketball?

1345
00:59:27,431 --> 00:59:28,531
Great!

1346
00:59:28,565 --> 00:59:30,399
I got a big-screen TV
and a comfortable couch.

1347
00:59:32,369 --> 00:59:34,703
I like your friend,
aunt Avery.

1348
00:59:34,738 --> 00:59:37,006
So do I.

1349
00:59:55,192 --> 00:59:57,560
Brendan? You okay?

1350
00:59:59,396 --> 01:00:02,064
I'm going out
for an hour or so.

1351
01:00:02,099 --> 01:00:04,133
Okay.
Where you going?

1352
01:00:05,168 --> 01:00:07,203
There's this...

1353
01:00:07,237 --> 01:00:09,538
Thing I have to go to.

1354
01:00:11,241 --> 01:00:14,443
"Consult the coach"
called me out.

1355
01:00:14,478 --> 01:00:16,112
You're gonna go
confront her?

1356
01:00:16,146 --> 01:00:17,980
Brendan, don't do it.

1357
01:00:18,014 --> 01:00:19,482
You don't understand.

1358
01:00:19,516 --> 01:00:21,150
Look, whoever she is,
she means well.

1359
01:00:21,184 --> 01:00:23,185
I'm through fighting.

1360
01:00:23,220 --> 01:00:25,521
She was right
about McKenna and me.

1361
01:00:25,555 --> 01:00:27,423
And she was right
about Valentine's day.

1362
01:00:27,457 --> 01:00:30,292
Huh. What brought about
this change of heart?

1363
01:00:30,327 --> 01:00:32,328
Avery.

1364
01:00:32,362 --> 01:00:34,563
I had a really good
time last night.

1365
01:00:34,598 --> 01:00:35,764
It was a little weird

1366
01:00:35,799 --> 01:00:38,067
when her nephew demanded
to know what my intentions are,

1367
01:00:38,101 --> 01:00:40,536
but I haven't laughed like that
in a long time.

1368
01:00:40,570 --> 01:00:41,570
See?

1369
01:00:41,605 --> 01:00:43,506
You're in a good place
right now.

1370
01:00:43,540 --> 01:00:45,808
So why go to this showdown
with the coach?

1371
01:00:47,043 --> 01:00:49,078
I'm gonna
apologize to her.

1372
01:00:52,349 --> 01:00:53,782
Well, good for you.

1373
01:00:58,321 --> 01:00:59,722
Good for you!

1374
01:01:06,429 --> 01:01:08,330
Is this
really necessary?

1375
01:01:08,365 --> 01:01:11,667
We want the world's
first glimpse of you to dazzle.

1376
01:01:12,702 --> 01:01:15,304
Has there been
any follow-up from "bench?"

1377
01:01:15,338 --> 01:01:16,739
Nope.

1378
01:01:16,773 --> 01:01:18,807
Good.
Maybe he won't show.

1379
01:01:18,842 --> 01:01:20,776
Well, he better.

1380
01:01:21,778 --> 01:01:23,779
Showtime.

1381
01:01:34,858 --> 01:01:37,059
Brendan? Hi.

1382
01:01:37,093 --> 01:01:38,427
Hey! What are you
doing here?

1383
01:01:38,461 --> 01:01:39,662
Like we'd miss this.

1384
01:01:39,696 --> 01:01:41,564
You're, uh,
fans of the coach?

1385
01:01:41,598 --> 01:01:43,332
Imagine that.

1386
01:01:50,774 --> 01:01:51,774
There!

1387
01:01:59,382 --> 01:02:01,650
Welcome
to the Portland banner.

1388
01:02:01,685 --> 01:02:04,386
I'm Lauren port,
the executive editor.

1389
01:02:08,325 --> 01:02:13,095
"Consult the coach" is one of
our most popular columns

1390
01:02:13,129 --> 01:02:16,498
and its author
has always been anonymous,

1391
01:02:16,533 --> 01:02:19,235
but today, all that changes.

1392
01:02:19,269 --> 01:02:21,837
It's time to put a name
and a face

1393
01:02:21,871 --> 01:02:24,273
to the column.

1394
01:02:24,307 --> 01:02:27,142
I would like to introduce you
to the real "coach."

1395
01:02:27,177 --> 01:02:29,712
Please, say hello

1396
01:02:29,746 --> 01:02:31,447
to Avery Parker!

1397
01:02:34,384 --> 01:02:35,384
Hi.

1398
01:02:36,820 --> 01:02:39,622
Wow, um,
thank you all for coming.

1399
01:02:39,656 --> 01:02:41,590
Um...

1400
01:02:41,625 --> 01:02:44,426
I have to admit,
this was not my idea.

1401
01:02:44,461 --> 01:02:46,629
There's a comfort
in being anonymous,

1402
01:02:46,663 --> 01:02:50,432
and this is a little bit
scary for me,

1403
01:02:50,467 --> 01:02:51,900
but...

1404
01:02:51,935 --> 01:02:53,369
I'm proud of the column

1405
01:02:53,403 --> 01:02:55,838
and I'm really honored
that I get to write it.

1406
01:02:55,872 --> 01:03:00,309
And I know that you're not
all here just to see me.

1407
01:03:00,343 --> 01:03:03,379
There's somebody else
you would like to meet.

1408
01:03:03,413 --> 01:03:04,813
So...

1409
01:03:04,848 --> 01:03:07,483
Here I am, "bench."

1410
01:03:08,652 --> 01:03:11,687
Time to show your face.

1411
01:03:29,673 --> 01:03:30,939
But Brendan did!

1412
01:03:30,974 --> 01:03:32,408
Wasn't that sweet?

1413
01:03:32,442 --> 01:03:33,475
Brendan?

1414
01:03:33,510 --> 01:03:35,210
Yeah, where'd he go?

1415
01:03:35,245 --> 01:03:36,545
Wait. He was here?

1416
01:03:36,579 --> 01:03:37,713
Didn't you see him?

1417
01:03:37,747 --> 01:03:39,782
No. How would he
even know about this?

1418
01:03:39,816 --> 01:03:40,916
Maybe he heard us

1419
01:03:40,950 --> 01:03:43,352
talking about it
last night.

1420
01:03:43,386 --> 01:03:44,620
Maybe.

1421
01:03:46,790 --> 01:03:48,324
...the real "coach."

1422
01:03:48,358 --> 01:03:49,825
Please, say hello

1423
01:03:49,859 --> 01:03:51,727
to Avery Parker!

1424
01:03:53,963 --> 01:03:55,464
Hi.

1425
01:03:55,498 --> 01:03:57,366
What are
you watching?

1426
01:03:57,400 --> 01:03:58,701
Uh, "consult the coach."

1427
01:03:58,735 --> 01:04:00,636
They revealed
her identity today.

1428
01:04:00,670 --> 01:04:02,338
Oh, right.
Was it even a woman?

1429
01:04:02,372 --> 01:04:05,407
Yeah. Her name is
Avery Parker.

1430
01:04:05,442 --> 01:04:06,775
Why does that name
sound familiar?

1431
01:04:06,810 --> 01:04:08,277
Oh! Did she
and "bench the coach"

1432
01:04:08,311 --> 01:04:09,712
have their epic
smackdown?

1433
01:04:09,746 --> 01:04:11,714
He didn't show.

1434
01:04:11,748 --> 01:04:14,650
What's the problem?

1435
01:04:14,684 --> 01:04:18,354
Avery Parker is
Brendan's new girlfriend.

1436
01:04:18,388 --> 01:04:20,756
I don't get it.

1437
01:04:22,292 --> 01:04:24,560
Neither do I.

1438
01:04:25,729 --> 01:04:26,829
I am glad

1439
01:04:26,863 --> 01:04:27,930
people know who
you are now.

1440
01:04:27,964 --> 01:04:30,632
Your columns have
become very special.

1441
01:04:30,667 --> 01:04:32,501
I think there's
a reason for that.

1442
01:04:32,535 --> 01:04:33,669
Besides my mentoring?

1443
01:04:33,703 --> 01:04:35,537
No, in addition
to your mentoring.

1444
01:04:35,572 --> 01:04:36,805
Writing this column

1445
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:38,507
has actually been
really good for me.

1446
01:04:38,541 --> 01:04:40,476
I'm starting to believe
in love again.

1447
01:04:40,510 --> 01:04:42,945
And I met a guy.

1448
01:04:42,979 --> 01:04:45,514
He's honest
and he's kind,

1449
01:04:45,548 --> 01:04:48,917
and charming,
and I trust him.

1450
01:04:48,952 --> 01:04:50,652
That's a huge
step for me.

1451
01:04:50,687 --> 01:04:52,921
First step
to genuine happiness.

1452
01:04:52,956 --> 01:04:56,792
I'm glad you found someone
that you can count on.

1453
01:04:56,826 --> 01:04:58,660
I mean,
what are the chances?

1454
01:04:58,695 --> 01:04:59,695
Well, what
did you say to her?

1455
01:04:59,729 --> 01:05:01,430
Nothing. I left.

1456
01:05:01,464 --> 01:05:03,599
So, wait...
She doesn't know?

1457
01:05:03,633 --> 01:05:04,833
No, not yet.

1458
01:05:04,868 --> 01:05:06,435
No, Brendan. Brendan.
You have to tell her.

1459
01:05:06,469 --> 01:05:07,936
And say what?

1460
01:05:07,971 --> 01:05:09,671
This is a disaster.

1461
01:05:11,741 --> 01:05:12,708
It's Avery.

1462
01:05:12,742 --> 01:05:14,376
Talk to her.

1463
01:05:17,414 --> 01:05:19,381
Avery. Hi.

1464
01:05:19,416 --> 01:05:21,750
Mom and Hannah said you were
here today, at the paper.

1465
01:05:21,785 --> 01:05:23,452
I'm sorry
I couldn't stay.

1466
01:05:23,486 --> 01:05:24,920
We had an emergency.

1467
01:05:24,954 --> 01:05:29,057
A, uh, German Shepherd
with a fractured femur.

1468
01:05:30,827 --> 01:05:32,528
Is everything okay?

1469
01:05:32,562 --> 01:05:34,296
Sure.

1470
01:05:34,330 --> 01:05:36,064
You sound funny.

1471
01:05:36,099 --> 01:05:38,333
It was a tricky procedure.

1472
01:05:39,803 --> 01:05:41,570
Well, I was thinking

1473
01:05:41,604 --> 01:05:43,872
of going to El adobe
to celebrate my big reveal,

1474
01:05:43,907 --> 01:05:46,008
and I thought it would be nice
if you could join me.

1475
01:05:46,042 --> 01:05:48,043
That's a good idea.

1476
01:05:48,077 --> 01:05:49,912
It'll give us
a chance to talk.

1477
01:05:51,714 --> 01:05:53,048
7:30?

1478
01:05:53,082 --> 01:05:54,616
See you then.

1479
01:05:54,651 --> 01:05:56,718
Great.

1480
01:06:02,358 --> 01:06:03,992
You have to
tell her.

1481
01:06:04,027 --> 01:06:05,594
I will.

1482
01:06:05,628 --> 01:06:07,796
I just have to
figure out how.

1483
01:06:12,902 --> 01:06:14,736
Excuse me.

1484
01:06:14,771 --> 01:06:15,804
Um...

1485
01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:18,340
Are you Avery Parker?

1486
01:06:18,374 --> 01:06:19,641
That's right.

1487
01:06:19,676 --> 01:06:21,109
I tried to call,

1488
01:06:21,144 --> 01:06:23,545
but I couldn't
get through.

1489
01:06:23,580 --> 01:06:25,948
I-I'm sorry.
Do I know you?

1490
01:06:25,982 --> 01:06:28,450
I read your column.

1491
01:06:28,518 --> 01:06:31,620
And you do know me,
I mean, sort of.

1492
01:06:31,654 --> 01:06:33,489
I wrote to you
a while ago.

1493
01:06:33,523 --> 01:06:35,023
"Should I move on?"

1494
01:06:36,793 --> 01:06:37,926
Oh, right!

1495
01:06:37,961 --> 01:06:39,995
Yeah, I was writing
to you about my boyfriend.

1496
01:06:40,029 --> 01:06:42,164
His name
is Brendan bains.

1497
01:06:43,533 --> 01:06:46,768
You told me
that I should move on

1498
01:06:46,803 --> 01:06:48,737
and now
he's your boyfriend.

1499
01:06:56,913 --> 01:06:59,114
I-I don't know
what to say right now.

1500
01:06:59,148 --> 01:07:02,017
I'm sorry for just
showing up like this.

1501
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:05,854
I'm just really confused.

1502
01:07:06,956 --> 01:07:10,492
I thought
you should know.

1503
01:07:10,527 --> 01:07:11,760
What do you mean?

1504
01:07:11,794 --> 01:07:14,429
Brendan is
"bench the coach."

1505
01:07:22,505 --> 01:07:23,772
Goodnight.

1506
01:07:23,806 --> 01:07:25,507
Goodnight, Esther.

1507
01:07:25,542 --> 01:07:28,010
Oh! Hi.

1508
01:07:30,580 --> 01:07:31,980
I thought
we were gonna meet

1509
01:07:32,015 --> 01:07:33,115
at the restaurant.

1510
01:07:34,751 --> 01:07:36,818
Is it true?

1511
01:07:38,054 --> 01:07:40,055
Are you
"bench the coach"?

1512
01:07:43,159 --> 01:07:44,126
Avery...

1513
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:46,028
Just tell me.

1514
01:07:50,567 --> 01:07:52,601
Yeah.

1515
01:07:52,635 --> 01:07:54,169
I'm "bench the coach."

1516
01:07:55,204 --> 01:07:56,505
I mean...

1517
01:07:56,539 --> 01:07:58,073
I was.

1518
01:07:58,107 --> 01:07:59,708
And I was gonna tell you...

1519
01:07:59,742 --> 01:08:01,810
I have been wrong
about men before,

1520
01:08:01,844 --> 01:08:04,079
but I have never been
this wrong.

1521
01:08:04,113 --> 01:08:05,514
Avery, wait.

1522
01:08:05,548 --> 01:08:06,548
All of those things
that you said...

1523
01:08:09,218 --> 01:08:10,218
What can I do?

1524
01:08:14,991 --> 01:08:16,558
Forget we met.

1525
01:08:27,003 --> 01:08:28,470
We like to give flowers

1526
01:08:28,504 --> 01:08:29,504
on Valentine's day.

1527
01:08:29,539 --> 01:08:34,109
Flowers are so beautiful
and festive.

1528
01:08:34,143 --> 01:08:36,211
They're the perfect metaphor
for Valentine's day.

1529
01:08:37,647 --> 01:08:38,914
However beautiful
the day may be,

1530
01:08:38,948 --> 01:08:40,983
it doesn't last.

1531
01:08:41,017 --> 01:08:42,117
Sooner or later,

1532
01:08:42,151 --> 01:08:44,686
that good feeling
you had on February 14th

1533
01:08:44,721 --> 01:08:47,956
withers and dies,

1534
01:08:47,991 --> 01:08:49,791
just like the flowers.

1535
01:09:49,018 --> 01:09:51,720
Happy Valentine's day.

1536
01:09:51,754 --> 01:09:53,288
Yeah, you too.

1537
01:10:02,899 --> 01:10:04,199
Happy Valentine's day.

1538
01:10:04,233 --> 01:10:07,102
Pretty unhappy,
if you ask me.

1539
01:10:08,671 --> 01:10:10,038
How's Brendan?

1540
01:10:10,073 --> 01:10:12,107
Not so good.

1541
01:10:12,141 --> 01:10:14,076
He and Avery split up.

1542
01:10:15,378 --> 01:10:17,312
Yeah, she's not
doing so good either,

1543
01:10:17,346 --> 01:10:19,047
judging by her column.

1544
01:10:20,383 --> 01:10:22,184
Relationships are impossible.

1545
01:10:22,218 --> 01:10:24,219
Why do we all
keep trying?

1546
01:10:26,989 --> 01:10:28,857
I went
to see Avery.

1547
01:10:29,992 --> 01:10:32,861
I told her that Brendan
was "bench the coach."

1548
01:10:32,895 --> 01:10:34,229
You did what?

1549
01:10:34,263 --> 01:10:35,831
I thought
that she should know.

1550
01:10:42,205 --> 01:10:44,406
Maybe I made a mistake.

1551
01:10:47,877 --> 01:10:49,978
I was just jealous.

1552
01:10:50,012 --> 01:10:53,281
And he's not even
the right one for me.

1553
01:10:54,650 --> 01:10:57,219
How do you know when
someone's the right one?

1554
01:10:58,921 --> 01:11:01,757
They meet you halfway.

1555
01:11:23,813 --> 01:11:26,248
Happy Valentine's day.

1556
01:11:45,468 --> 01:11:47,569
Dad, what are you
doing here?

1557
01:11:47,603 --> 01:11:48,837
Well, I was
in the neighborhood,

1558
01:11:48,871 --> 01:11:50,405
about to get
a cup of coffee,

1559
01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:53,542
and then I remembered
that you own a coffeemaker,

1560
01:11:53,576 --> 01:11:55,877
so I thought I'd drop over
and get a fresh-brewed cup.

1561
01:11:55,912 --> 01:11:57,979
Any of that true?

1562
01:11:59,882 --> 01:12:02,484
Your mom told me
about you and Brendan.

1563
01:12:02,518 --> 01:12:03,652
Do we have to talk about it?

1564
01:12:04,754 --> 01:12:06,788
I only met him once,
but I really liked him.

1565
01:12:06,823 --> 01:12:09,825
Yeah, well, the man you met
wasn't the real Brendan.

1566
01:12:09,859 --> 01:12:11,026
And "bench
the coach" is?

1567
01:12:11,060 --> 01:12:13,562
The problem is,
I have no idea who he is.

1568
01:12:13,596 --> 01:12:16,431
Maybe you're just scared,
and this is an excuse.

1569
01:12:17,533 --> 01:12:18,834
All I know is,

1570
01:12:18,868 --> 01:12:21,770
the guy I met couldn't
take his eyes off you,

1571
01:12:21,804 --> 01:12:23,538
laughed at
all your jokes.

1572
01:12:23,573 --> 01:12:25,574
That was
a guy in love.

1573
01:12:28,945 --> 01:12:32,280
Listen, nice try, dad,
but...

1574
01:12:32,315 --> 01:12:35,383
I don't think Valentine's day
is ever gonna be my day.

1575
01:12:36,686 --> 01:12:37,752
I'm sorry to hear that,

1576
01:12:37,787 --> 01:12:39,454
but give the rest
of us a break,

1577
01:12:39,488 --> 01:12:42,090
'cause today's column
was a real downer.

1578
01:12:43,626 --> 01:12:45,594
You read my column?

1579
01:12:45,628 --> 01:12:47,662
I especially liked it lately.

1580
01:12:47,697 --> 01:12:50,599
So sweet and so hopeful.

1581
01:12:50,633 --> 01:12:53,335
It appealed
to the romantic in me.

1582
01:12:54,670 --> 01:12:57,639
That means a lot to me.

1583
01:12:58,875 --> 01:13:02,043
Don't let go
of the joy you found.

1584
01:13:04,981 --> 01:13:06,948
I said my piece.

1585
01:13:06,983 --> 01:13:08,783
I better
get back to work.

1586
01:13:12,955 --> 01:13:14,322
Thanks, daddy.

1587
01:13:16,792 --> 01:13:18,860
Think about what I said.

1588
01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:33,875
You know what, busby?

1589
01:13:35,044 --> 01:13:38,413
It's time the "coach"
started thinking about the team.

1590
01:14:22,758 --> 01:14:24,192
Thank you.

1591
01:14:27,029 --> 01:14:28,830
Hi.

1592
01:14:28,864 --> 01:14:31,933
Thank you, uh,
for meeting with me.

1593
01:14:31,968 --> 01:14:34,536
Oh, of course,
of course.

1594
01:14:38,908 --> 01:14:41,910
I feel badly about
what happened before.

1595
01:14:41,944 --> 01:14:43,945
I should have never told you
about Brendan.

1596
01:14:43,980 --> 01:14:45,647
No, it's okay,
I'm glad you did.

1597
01:14:45,681 --> 01:14:47,215
No. It's not.

1598
01:14:48,484 --> 01:14:50,852
He was gonna
tell you himself.

1599
01:14:50,886 --> 01:14:54,089
Honestly, who told me
doesn't matter.

1600
01:14:55,091 --> 01:14:58,193
He just
didn't know how.

1601
01:14:58,227 --> 01:15:01,696
He was afraid
he was gonna lose you.

1602
01:15:01,731 --> 01:15:03,598
Well...

1603
01:15:05,901 --> 01:15:08,903
Relationships
are complicated.

1604
01:15:08,938 --> 01:15:10,839
I learned that from you,
reading your column.

1605
01:15:10,873 --> 01:15:13,041
They're not usually
this complicated.

1606
01:15:14,243 --> 01:15:16,644
In the last few weeks,
you really opened up.

1607
01:15:16,679 --> 01:15:18,513
You gave
the rest of us hope.

1608
01:15:18,547 --> 01:15:20,982
Oh, that's what makes
this all so hard.

1609
01:15:21,017 --> 01:15:23,084
The man I thought
I was falling for

1610
01:15:23,119 --> 01:15:25,754
is the same man who
was calling me a fool.

1611
01:15:27,123 --> 01:15:29,224
What's your heart
telling you?

1612
01:15:32,495 --> 01:15:34,996
I don't know.

1613
01:15:35,031 --> 01:15:37,799
You care for each other.

1614
01:15:37,833 --> 01:15:39,901
That hardly ever happens.

1615
01:15:41,070 --> 01:15:44,672
No, that happens all the time.

1616
01:15:44,707 --> 01:15:47,108
The problem is,
it hardly ever lasts.

1617
01:15:52,048 --> 01:15:53,948
I wish "bench" never existed.

1618
01:15:53,983 --> 01:15:55,784
He just needs
a better editor.

1619
01:15:55,818 --> 01:15:57,218
You have to let her
know how you feel.

1620
01:15:57,286 --> 01:15:59,154
I called, e-mailed.
No response.

1621
01:15:59,188 --> 01:16:01,656
Yeah, I know
the feeling.

1622
01:16:01,690 --> 01:16:02,757
I don't know how to
get through to pru.

1623
01:16:02,792 --> 01:16:03,925
Did you ask her out?

1624
01:16:03,959 --> 01:16:06,227
Uh, not in
so many words.

1625
01:16:06,262 --> 01:16:08,630
I could barely
get past hello.

1626
01:16:08,664 --> 01:16:09,964
I'd rather just
hang onto the fantasy

1627
01:16:09,999 --> 01:16:11,566
than risk rejection.

1628
01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:13,101
You gotta get
out of your own way.

1629
01:16:13,135 --> 01:16:15,136
How do I do that?

1630
01:16:16,272 --> 01:16:19,240
Just let her know
she's worth the risk.

1631
01:16:31,620 --> 01:16:35,156
My apologies
for yesterday's column.

1632
01:16:35,191 --> 01:16:38,660
I forget how much love I have
in my life.

1633
01:16:39,762 --> 01:16:42,797
My friends, my family,
my dog, busby.

1634
01:16:43,833 --> 01:16:47,669
These are my valentines,
today and every day.

1635
01:16:47,703 --> 01:16:50,205
If you have that kind of love...

1636
01:16:50,239 --> 01:16:52,540
Celebrate it.

1637
01:17:01,117 --> 01:17:03,585
Mom?

1638
01:17:03,619 --> 01:17:05,987
This is so cool.
Thanks, aunt Avery.

1639
01:17:06,021 --> 01:17:08,857
Almond bars?
I love these!

1640
01:17:08,891 --> 01:17:10,792
And dad...

1641
01:17:10,826 --> 01:17:12,293
This is for you.

1642
01:17:12,328 --> 01:17:13,695
Add it
to the collection.

1643
01:17:15,297 --> 01:17:17,265
You say you're proud
to be my daughter?

1644
01:17:17,299 --> 01:17:19,134
Well, I couldn't
be prouder of you.

1645
01:17:19,168 --> 01:17:22,337
We'd better go,
we have dinner reservations.

1646
01:17:23,372 --> 01:17:24,906
Honey,
you look... wow.

1647
01:17:24,940 --> 01:17:27,008
Where are you guys going?

1648
01:17:27,042 --> 01:17:28,576
He won't tell me.

1649
01:17:28,611 --> 01:17:30,645
Somewhere fancy
we can't afford.

1650
01:17:31,914 --> 01:17:32,881
Bye.

1651
01:17:32,915 --> 01:17:34,215
You look "wow" too.

1652
01:17:35,217 --> 01:17:38,686
Wanna hear about
my date with Josie?

1653
01:17:38,721 --> 01:17:39,754
Yes, I do!

1654
01:17:39,788 --> 01:17:41,823
I gave her the card,
she gave me one, too.

1655
01:17:42,892 --> 01:17:45,994
She gave one
to all the kids in the class,

1656
01:17:46,028 --> 01:17:49,130
but she drew a little heart
in mine.

1657
01:17:49,165 --> 01:17:52,333
Oh, wow.
That's such a pretty heart.

1658
01:17:52,368 --> 01:17:54,269
I think she likes you.

1659
01:17:54,303 --> 01:17:56,271
Her mom took us
out for ice cream.

1660
01:17:56,305 --> 01:17:59,174
I had chocolate chip,
she had strawberry.

1661
01:17:59,208 --> 01:18:00,808
At the end of the date,

1662
01:18:00,843 --> 01:18:03,244
she said
"happy Valentine's day,"

1663
01:18:03,279 --> 01:18:05,647
and then she kissed me
on the cheek.

1664
01:18:07,349 --> 01:18:10,952
That sounds like
a really great date.

1665
01:18:10,986 --> 01:18:13,755
I hope that dress
means you have a date?

1666
01:18:15,724 --> 01:18:18,193
I wore this for me.

1667
01:18:36,779 --> 01:18:38,880
Happy Valentine's day.

1668
01:18:40,182 --> 01:18:41,883
Same to you.

1669
01:18:41,917 --> 01:18:44,352
I have trouble
expressing myself,

1670
01:18:44,386 --> 01:18:45,887
or at least where
you're concerned.

1671
01:18:45,921 --> 01:18:47,956
I didn't want to
give myself any outs,

1672
01:18:47,990 --> 01:18:50,892
so I came with
a lot of visuals

1673
01:18:50,926 --> 01:18:53,127
that are pretty hard
to mistake.

1674
01:18:54,230 --> 01:18:56,231
I think I get the gist.

1675
01:18:57,299 --> 01:18:59,834
So... no pressure,

1676
01:18:59,868 --> 01:19:03,037
but I wonder if...

1677
01:19:03,072 --> 01:19:05,306
You would
like to go to dinner?

1678
01:19:16,218 --> 01:19:17,919
Don't you dare
break my heart.

1679
01:19:19,288 --> 01:19:20,722
I would never do that.

1680
01:19:20,756 --> 01:19:22,223
You say that now.

1681
01:19:22,258 --> 01:19:23,958
I'll say it
every single day,

1682
01:19:23,993 --> 01:19:25,994
if you'll let me.

1683
01:19:27,429 --> 01:19:28,863
I don't want
to spook you.

1684
01:19:28,897 --> 01:19:31,132
Was that...
Was that too much?

1685
01:19:32,201 --> 01:19:34,435
Maybe,
for a first date.

1686
01:19:34,470 --> 01:19:35,703
Okay.

1687
01:19:35,738 --> 01:19:38,006
I can definitely
tone it down.

1688
01:19:39,375 --> 01:19:41,276
You might want to
lose the bear.

1689
01:19:59,094 --> 01:20:00,194
All in all,

1690
01:20:00,229 --> 01:20:03,197
it's been a pretty good
Valentine's day.

1691
01:20:04,199 --> 01:20:06,534
The thing about love is...

1692
01:20:18,213 --> 01:20:19,947
Dear miss Parker,

1693
01:20:19,982 --> 01:20:21,215
I want to apologize

1694
01:20:21,283 --> 01:20:23,851
for anything I ever did
that might have hurt you.

1695
01:20:23,886 --> 01:20:26,120
The truth is,
I'm your biggest fan.

1696
01:20:26,155 --> 01:20:29,023
You would make me
the happiest man in the world

1697
01:20:29,058 --> 01:20:31,259
if you would give me
a second chance.

1698
01:20:31,293 --> 01:20:32,327
Shh! Quiet, busby!

1699
01:20:33,896 --> 01:20:36,030
Please tell busby
I come in peace.

1700
01:20:47,576 --> 01:20:49,377
You look beautiful.

1701
01:20:53,382 --> 01:20:56,150
This is hard to do
without using my thumbs...

1702
01:20:57,519 --> 01:20:58,886
Well, I think

1703
01:20:58,921 --> 01:21:02,824
you and I do better in person
than we do in print.

1704
01:21:14,870 --> 01:21:17,839
I've never cared
for Valentine's day,

1705
01:21:17,873 --> 01:21:19,507
but, somehow, it brought
you and me together,

1706
01:21:19,541 --> 01:21:21,275
and now it's my favorite
day of the year.

1707
01:21:23,545 --> 01:21:25,880
I said some things
I regret,

1708
01:21:25,914 --> 01:21:29,217
but what I regret most
is what didn't say...

1709
01:21:29,251 --> 01:21:31,319
That you...

1710
01:21:31,353 --> 01:21:34,856
Are the most wonderful
person I've ever met.

1711
01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:39,594
You're doing really well.

1712
01:21:39,628 --> 01:21:41,195
Go on.

1713
01:21:45,868 --> 01:21:48,202
Avery Parker...

1714
01:21:50,005 --> 01:21:52,340
Will you do me the honor

1715
01:21:52,374 --> 01:21:55,042
of being my Valentine?

1716
01:21:56,879 --> 01:21:58,379
