Be My Valentine (2013) - full transcript

♪

Farrell. Got it.

Come on, Chelsea, we're up.

Saddle up.

Let's go!

- What is it?
- Commercial. Slow burn.

OK.

Let's go.

- Here we go.
- Come on.

- Move it!
- Move it!

- Come on, everybody!
- Get on! Let's go!



- Who knows? It may not even be real.
- Only one way to find out.

Let's go, ladies.

- All right!
- Fifteen seconds to lift-off!

- Moving out here!
- Let's move it! Chop, chop!

- Let's roll, let's roll!
- Roll!

That was so scary.

- What was that?
- I don't know. Some kind of an explosion. Are you OK?

Here they are.

Wow, that was fast.

- Guys, let's go.
- Here we are. - Move it.

Oh, I hope the shop's OK.

Aerial 16 on scene, A side,
west side, heavy smoke showing.

- It's our shop.
- Anybody else inside?

- No, it was just us.
- This is Chelsea,



our paramedic. She's gonna
take care of you. Get them back

- away from the building, OK?
- You got it.

I just heard this pop
in the cold storage unit.

Then there was suddenly
all this smoke, but no flames.

- OK, no unusual redness.
That's good.

- We got out of there fast.
- Smart. You ladies crawl out?

- No.
- OK, well, if you're ever in that situation again,

hit the floor,
get on your hands and knees.

Most casualties in a fire happen with smoke
inhalation, but you don't see that coming.

- Heads up.
- There's lots of smoke.

Sounds good. You guys just sit
tight, all right?

All right, thank you.

- Oh, here they come.
- You got lucky.

The fire was in the flower storage
unit, but we contained it there.

- So there was no fire damage?
- Well, the compressor's toast,

and that ethylene couldn't be
good for your flowers, but...

- there's no structural damage.
- Great.

Just we need with Valentine's
Day around the corner.

At least you're safe.

Right. Thank you.

Are you... Dan Farrell?

- Yeah.
- Wendy. Wendy Clark.

- You were in my big brother's class at Chatham High.
- Steven Clark! Ha! Ha!

- How many years has it been?
- Oh, uh, let's not do that math.

- This is my business partner, Kate Burlingham.
- Hi.

I'm sorry about the
circumstances. Pleasure to meet you.

You too. Thank you.

Hey,

- say hi to Steve, all right?
- Yeah, yeah.

- Saddle up, fellas!
- All right, guys,

- let's load up.
- Get back to the shop.

- Shall we face the music?
- I don't think we have a choice.

Dan Farrell.

He was such a great guy
in high school.

I found out at a reunion that
his wife died a few years ago.

- Oh.
- Laura Halloway. She was in my brother's class too.

- That is so awful.
- Yeah. Can't imagine.

Hey, hey, Dad?

Hey.

Hey.

You're reading
The Mercenary Fables?

Well, what do you know?

Do you play the game?

- Constantly.
- 'Cause the books don't make any sense if you don't.

On my phone, my notebook,

- and my computer.
- What about the cloud version?

- It's on the cloud now?
- Yeah, since Friday.

- Shut up!
- It's the best yet.

- Majorly interactive.
- I'm so gonna hook into that.

Ah, good, you're here. Hey.

- Muah. How was the bus, hon?
- Long and boring.

I know, why do they have
to make so many stops?

Right? I mean, seriously,
every corner?

Do you go to Central?

Parkview.

- Ah, who do we have here?
- Hey, uh,

this is my daughter Rebecca;
Rebecca, Lieutenant Farrell.

- Nice to meet you, Rebecca.
I see that you've met my son

- Tyler.
- That's your son? Wow.

Hey. Chelsea.

- Hi.
- Hey.

You guys on your way back
from a fire?

- Small one. A compressor fire.
- So you didn't get

- to break out the hoses?
- No need. Never got rolling. - That's too bad.

Gotta watch out for those
fires, though, because sometimes

the toxic gases are more
dangerous than the flames.

Oh. Cool.

So, uh, who was that lady?

You know, with the daughter.

She's, uh, one of our new EMTs.

New?

She seems kind of old to me.

Well, she's new to us.

I knew her from when she worked
Emergency over at the hospital.

- And her daughter?
Is she going to be coming by

after school, like, every day?

Why? Is she a pain?

- Oh, no, no, no.
She's... she's OK.

You know, for a girl.

Get in the house.

Come on.

I can't believe
we have to shut down

less than two weeks before
the biggest day of the year!

I know, but look
on the bright side:

For once, you can actually
enjoy Valentine's Day.

I have a husband
with a one-track mind.

Enjoying Valentine's Day has
never been a problem.

Are you complaining?

No. Not even.

How about you? Big plans
for the romantic day?

Absolutely. I actually have
two dates lined up.

- Really?
- Brad Pitt and Colin Firth,

provided there isn't
a video streaming meltdown.

- Well, I don't know.
Single women, Valentine's Day...

It could be the perfect
broadband storm.

Seriously, ask SOMEBODY out.
Show yourself a good time.

I plan on having
an excellent time.

Did I not mention ice cream cake
with gumdrop hearts? I'm good.

Oh, we need to get you back
into circulation.

No, no, no, it's selfish
to keep all this wonderfulness

- to yourself.
- Oh, well, maybe I'll join you and Nick.

Or plan B and we get you a date.

I'm fine, Wendy! I'm fine.

- Bam!
- Oh! Well,

you just played
the wrong card, buddy.

Bam! You just got served
the Queen of Spades.

- Ah, settle down, Magnum.
Read 'em and weep.

- You didn't keep a heart?!
- No, I was trying to protect my hand.

- How'd that work out for you?
- Not so good.

- You know, I don't see why it's gotta be me, guys.
- Seriously, we've done this

- over and over again.
- Because you're single.

- Dan is single.
- You're the young

stud muffin, OK?
They're gonna eat you up.

That's what I don't like about
it, Dan. I feel like a commodity.

- Poor baby.
- No, seriously, "win a date with one of our bravest"?

- What's wrong with that?
- It's demeaning.

- It's for a good cause.
Think about the kids.

- Do it for the children.
- What about if she wants to go

- to, I don't know, the opera or something on our date.
- She?

Keep it up.

- Look, it's a tradition, OK?
And a big money maker.

Just enjoy the fact that you're
still young and bankable.

See? A commodity.

Welcome to my world, girlfriend.

- Hey, guys.
- Hey, dude! How was school?

Great.

By the way, I win.

- The battle, not the war.
- Yeah. Let's go. We gotta

- clean the rig. Can't put that off for another day. Chop, chop.
- Hey.

- Yeah, OK.
- Is... Rebecca here?

Nah, she's at taekwondo.

- She does taekwondo?
- Yeah, she's working on her red belt.

That's... Wow.

Hey, you taking a date
to the ball this year?

- Me?
- Yeah.

Why does everybody
keep asking about that?

Well, because my sister just
came through a messy divorce.

- Wait, Serena?
- Yeah.

Woo-ee! She is hot.

- Hard to believe they're from the same gene pool, huh?
- Hey, you're telling me.

Ha, ha, ha, ha. No, come on,
I'm serious. Invite her to the ball,

- turn on that Farrell charm, and make her feel sexy again.
- Ha! Ha! What Farrell charm?

Hey, Joey, if he's
not interested, I'm your guy.

She doesn't date adolescents.

- Rinse, rinse, rinse.
- I'm a grow man.

- Hey!
- Rinse.

That's it, you can't
date my sister.

Is it my imagination, or are
these jackets getting smaller?

Never too late
to say no to carbs.

- Later, Chelsea.
- Hey, Dan, whoa. Uh, do you have a sec?

That time clock. I'm still
having trouble with it.

- That's still acting up?
- Yes.

- OK, come on.
- Hey, Tyler. - Hi.

May I please be excused?

You're finished?

Yeah, I got some homework.

I thought you did it
at the firehouse.

- Well, I couldn't do all of it.
- Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, don't throw that out.

I thought you loved
my carbonara.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
it was great.

It's just...

I'm not that hungry.

You're not hungry?

Is that even possible?

I guess so.

Hai-yah!

Hey, Alex.

You all right?

Um, what's up?

You texted me earlier...
Help with your math homework?

Yeah, yeah, uh,
just let me get my books.

- Here you go. - Thanks a lot.
- You're welcome.

Welcome to Danby's.

This week, our special is
on baby back ribs:

Only $5.99 per pound.

See what happens when the best
florist in town closes? People are forced

to buy their flowers
at the grocery store.

Kate.

- Yeah. Dan, right?
- Yeah.

- They had to shut you down?
- Just until the insurance comes through

so we can fumigate
and restock and...

- Of course.
- How are you?

Oh, well, I'm great now
because I'm with an expert

and I don't know
the first thing about flowers.

Well, at least you're trying.

I mean, I'm sure your girlfriend
appreciates the effort.

- No, no, I don't...
I don't ha...

The firehouse is doing
its annual fundraiser,

and it's a Valentine's Day ball,
and I'm sort of

the decorating committing. I'm
here doing a little research.

Uh, what are you raising
money for?

It's a scholarship fund

for the children
of fallen firefighters.

- That's a amazing.
You know what,

don't get your flowers here.
Go to Carney's.

What's Carney's?

It's the best flower market in the
state, and it's only 20 minutes from here

- up Highway 27.
- Let me write that down.

Twenty-seven?

- Yeah.
- OK.

Oh, except Carney's is
a wholesaler,

and you need a florist's licence
to shop there.

Oh, bummer.

I have a licence.

- I... I don't want to ask you to do that.
- No, you're not asking.

I'm offering.
It'll be my contribution

- to the fundraiser.
- You sure?

- Yeah.
- Great, because I could use all the help I could get.

Uh, what kind of arrangements
did you have in mind?

Do I look like I know?

Tell you what, why don't you show
me the venue, and we can figure it out?

You sure that's
not asking too much?

No, no, I mean, Dan,
flowers are my business,

and I'm temporarily
out of a job, so...

- use me.
- OK, I will.

Here, um, I'll just...

give you my number
so, uh, you can

call me whenever you want
to go see the venue.

- Perfect.
- Great.

- Great to see you.
- Yeah, you too.

Bye.

The mall near your school?

Yeah, I don't see why not.

Your dad and I, we're planning
to go see a movie,

so we'll just see one there. That'll
give you a couple hours, OK? All right,

sweetie, I love you.

- Bye. Hey, Tyler.
- Hi.

- Hey.
- Um...

- was... was that Rebecca?
- Yeah.

You know, that girl would spend
all weekend at the mall

with her friends. You know they don't even
buy stuff? They just walk around and hang out.

- That's... kinda weird.
- Yeah.

That's kinda "girl". I did the
same thing when I was her age.

We're not like you, Tyler.

Yeah, I noticed.

I don't need to get anything.

Why go to the mall if you're
not going to buy something?

Take us, and it'll be...

fun.

I still think it's kinda lame.

Whatever.

Well, when we had it here
last year,

the DJ booth was here
in the corner,

and the buffet was back here
against the wall.

Um, the bar was over here
in the back room,

and we had tables all around.

Oh, OK. Do you want
arrangements on every table?

- Sounds great.
- Maybe a garland

- around the bar.
- Whatever you think.

Oh, by the way, we have to make
sure we decorate the auction block.

- Auction block?
- Yeah.

- This Valentine's Day ball just got a little more interesting.
- We auction off

a date with one of our single
firefighters. It is...

- very popular with the ladies.
- I bet it is.

- Are you in the block this year?
- Me? No. No, no.

- Just for the younger guys.
- Right, 'cause you're way too old.

My son seems to think so.

How old is your son?

- Tyler is 12.
- Is he your only child?

Mm-hmm.

Wendy told me about your wife.

I'm very sorry.

Thank you.

- It'll be great.
- Yeah, this is it.

- Yeah, it's a beautiful space.
- Yeah.

And how do you know that
he doesn't have a girlfriend?

He kinda told me.

Why would he "kinda" tell you?

I... maybe fished
a little.

You like him.

Come on, he's a firefighter,
for crying out loud.

And not exactly hard
on the eyes.

No, ma'am, not hard
on the eyes at all.

So, what's not to like?

Oh! Ladies and gentlemen,
Kate Burlingham is back.

The blood is flowing,
there's a definite uptake

in the heavy breathing
department, and, oh, oh, oh!

I think we've even detected
a pulse!

- Thank you, Dan!
- Stop it! I am helping him

- with the flowers for his fundraiser.
- Of course you are.

'Cause you're not a woman;
You're a philanthropist.

OK, well, seeing as you're
back from the dead,

give me your opinion
on something.

Which...

of these two outfits...

do you think would
look sexier on me?

I don't think there's enough
fabric to qualify as "outfits".

I'm just trying to surprise
Nick for Valentine's Day.

I think he'll be plenty surprised
with either one of them, and then some.

You really love Nick, don't you?

Yeah.

Well, that's why I married him.

You were right to draw a line
in the sand, Kate.

You didn't have to draw a line
in the sand with Nick.

Not overtly;

Subtly I did. I mean, I think
that's what women do...

We just nudge guys in the right
direction. I mean, let's face it...

It usually takes them
longer to commit than us.

So maybe I should have
given Gavin more time.

You gave him plenty of time.

And why are we even talking
about Gavin? Let's talk about Dan,

and what you're gonna wear
when you see him next.

Something with plenty of fabric.

Ah, right. It's only
your second date.

We are not dating!

- Dessert?
- Right, reveal yourself

slowly, in layers,

like an onion.

Is this your idea of fun?

Walking around all day?

It's good exercise, and we're
not even walking that fast.

Come on, let's go!

I get plenty of exercise.

Well, you know, there's actually
people who come to the mall TO exercise.

They, like, do laps
around it. In groups.

Yeah, and you know
what they call those people?

Geezers.

OK, fine, we'll
go in a few minutes,

only if we don't...

Don't what?

And weren't we supposed to meet
your dad like 20 minutes ago?

What?

You brought me here
because of girls?

- Where are you, buddy?
It's, uh, it's 3:50.

Call me when you get this.

Her name's Rebecca.

My dad works with her mom.

Are you, like, into her?

I don't know. I guess. This
is gross. What are you eating?

- What should I say to her?
- How should I know?

Oh, man.
This is creepy.

Stop.

It's really awk...
Excuse me!

What's the story? You were supposed
to meet me at the mall entrance at 3:30.

- I've been calling.
- You have? - Yes!

- Sorry. I forgot to turn it on.
- Forgot to turn it on.

You? You think I'm buying that?

What's with you these days?

I'll tell you what's with him.

Is that, uh, Chelsea's daughter?

He came here to see her,
and now he won't even talk to her.

Let's just go.

I mean, how lame is that?

So, you like Rebecca?

I don't even know her.

- Well, get to know her.
Ask her to be

a Facebook friend.

- That'd be like...
stalking her.

Kinda like today?

I'm kidding.

You know, I was right around
your age when I met your mother.

- Can we not talk about this?
- You know, you want some intel

on how to get to know Rebecca,
take it from your old man.

I've been there, done that.

No?

Nothing? You got...
nothing for me?

- OK.
- OK, so, the thing is,

when I first met Rebecca,

it was, like, super easy
to talk to her

'cause she was... you know,
just this person.

Now it's like I just keep hoping
that she'll come to the station

after school every day,
and at the same time

I'm scared because... well,
what am I'm gonna say to her?

- Well, what did you talk about the first time?
- Books,

the cloud, buses...

OK, well, what else is she into?

She's into taekwondo.

Dude, that's perfect!

- You have that in common.
- I know.

- How awesome is that? Ha! Ha! Ha!
- That's pretty awesome.

That's what you talk about. You
get her? That's what you talk about.

- OK.
- Try to find something to do outside the firehouse.

Do you mean like a...

- ...a... a date?
- Yeah. Taekwon-date. Ooh!

- Waaaah.
- OK. Mm-hmm.

Hi, Wendy.

Hey, Kate.

You figured out what you're
going to wear tomorrow?

Something with plenty of fabric.

You got a shot
at a great guy here.

You need to use every weapon
in your arsenal.

Oh, I recommend something
in red.

- "let me be your Valentine" message.
- Good night, Wendy.

Good night!

Hey.

Guess who's here?

Give it your best shot, kid.

- Hey, Tyler.
- Hey, Rebecca.

- How's it going?
- Going great.

- Good. That's...
that's good.

So, uh...

your... your mom told me
that you were into taekwondo.

Oh, yeah, big time.

Well, there's this,
uh, 3D movie playing...

The Korean national team.

Right, doing
demonstrations. I read

- about that.
- Yeah. Wednesday being...

being a half day and all, I was
thinking of going to see it after school.

Cool.

Does Parkview do half days
on Wednesdays?

Yeah, I think
that's district wide.

Huh.

Well, if you're not doing anything
after school on Wednesday,

I was thinking...
maybe we could, um,

go... together.

That'd be totally awesome.

OK.

Did you always want
to be a fireman?

Sometimes I think the whole
fireman thing was just...

part of the way it was
supposed to be, you know?

I mean, I met Laura
when I was just a kid,

and then everything fell
into place...

You know, sweetheart,
family, job.

We... had a full life together.

Over 20 years.

Better than most couples
these days.

That's a very sweet way
of looking at it.

Isn't it dangerous,
firefighting?

It can be. I mean,

my station never lost anybody
or had any serious injuries,

but some of the others
around town, you know,

they haven't been so fortunate.

- Mm-hmm.
- How about you?

How did you get started
in the flower business?

Well, believe it or not,
I have an MBA.

- Impressive.
- Top of my class, no less.

- Very impressive.
- Yeah, I set my sights high.

I was going to be CEO
of something

by the time I was 40.

Six months into my first
corporate job, I came home

from yet another soul-destroying
networking party,

and I looked myself
in the mirror and said,

"Kate, what do you really want?
Because it is not this".

What was your answer?

That I wanted to do something
that made me happy. And...

flowers make me happy.

So I took everything I learned

about big business,
applied it to small business,

and never looked back.

Laura loved flowers. She used
to have arrangements like this,

- you know, all around the house.
- And none of that

rubbed off on Mr. I-don't-know-
anything-about-flowers?

It was her thing.

I just, you know, loved
that it made her so happy.

So, I'll put together some
samples and drop them by.

I'm sure whatever you come up
with will be great.

- I will do my best.
- Thank you.

- No, it was...
it was my pleasure.

What's with
all the softball swag?

Well, now that I've got some
time on my hands, I'm trying

to get my swing back. I'm actually heading
to the field now to take a couple of hacks.

- You play?
- All-state in high school,

- but I don't like to brag.
- You don't understand.

The firefighters have a co-ed softball league.
We never have enough women. You've gotta play.

- Well, sign me up.
- You... you don't... play first base, do you?

All-state in high school,
and maybe I do like to brag.

Where have you been all my life?

So, how often are you supposed
to change those things?

- About once a year.
Hey, I got a new slogan.

Check it out.
You're gonna love this.

"Show her you love her
on Valentine's Day:

Change the battery
in her smoke detector."

Pretty good, huh?

What? You don't like it?

It seems kinda unromantic.

Protecting the life
of somebody you love? Please.

What's more romantic than that?

Speaking of romance,
what time is this movie

- you're going to tomorrow?
- Three thirty.

- OK, perfect.
I want you to take the bus

- over to the mall, and I'll pick you up after work, OK?
- OK.

So, aren't you supposed

to bring a girl something
on a first date?

- I don't know.
What'd you have in mind?

I don't know,
like... candy

or flowers.

It sounds kind of
"Archie and Betty" to me.

- Who?
- Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait,

wait. I've got a great idea.

Make her a mix tape.

- What's that?
- Come on! Are you kidding me?

It's when you put
all your favourite songs

on one of those... what do you
call... You know, the...

the MP3, uh, playlist!

- Of songs I like?
- Yeah!

- What if she thinks they stink?
- Well, then you ask her why

and you figure out what songs she
does like, pal, because that's all part

of the process of getting
to know each other.

Hey, when I first met your mom, I made her a mix
tape, and I put "Walk Like an Egyptian" on it.

- What?
- Never mind. The point is,

I was afraid she wasn't going
to like it, and she LOVED it.

We used to sing it all the time... in
fact, to the point where we kind of

- drove our friends crazy.
- Oh, a tape!

- Yeah!
- You made her a video!

- No, no, not a video...
- That's a great idea! I'll make her a DVD

of YouTube videos of songs
I like. Thank you so much, Dad!

Uh...

OK. Well,

that's... what I'm here for.

Well, I can't fault his taste in girls,
but... my commanding officer's son...

I don't know.
What if she breaks his heart?

Then I'll make your life
a living...

Hm, right.

- Your costume's here, Michael.
- What costume?

- For the auction.
- No, no, no. Nobody said anything about a costume.

- It's a tradition.
- The ladies love it.

Oh, yeah, no, no, no,
we sure do. It's super sexy.

What is this?

It's called "the love god".

Cupid meets Hercules.

No, no, no, no. I'm not,
I'm not, I'm not wearing this.

- Oh, but you must.
- It's a commitment, Michael.

Come on, where are you going?
Oh, come on!

No, I'm starting to hate
Valentine's Day.

- He can't take it!
Yeah, baby!

Oh, no.

I think we parked on this side.

I'll be right there.

Remember that flying spinning
hook kick? That was awesome!

I didn't actually really
catch that at all.

Well, it was over the guy's head,
then he did a roundhouse to the cheek.

- Well, I didn't see that. No.
- Come on, you do this! There's your mom.

- Yep.
- Whoa.

That's MY girl.

- Bye.
- Yeah, OK.

- See you later, guys.
- See you tomorrow.

Well?

She loved the movie,
she loved the mix!

- What'd I tell you?
- Ha! Ha! And she said

that we're gonna hang out at
the softball game on Saturday.

- This sounds like a date.
- I guess so.

Whew! Wow.

- Hey, Dad?
- Yeah?

How come you don't date?

Uh... I don't know.

- It's not because of me, is it?
- No, son, please.

You know, like,
because I miss Mom,

and you don't have a girlfriend
'cause you think I wouldn't like it?

Like you were replacing Mom
or something?

I don't have a girlfriend
because...

the circumstances aren't right.
You know, you have

to meet the right person and...
Dad.

Seriously.

Look, your mother and I had
a full life, right?

An amazing relationship for over 20 years,
and that's more than I could say for...

- Most couples these days?
Yeah, I know.

You always say that.

But... it couldn't have been
that full.

She didn't get to see me
go to high school,

learn to drive, start shaving...

- A million things!
- Nope.

When you say you've already
lived a full life,

I feel like...
I don't know,

like I'm not there.

That's not what I meant
by that, son.

I just wish you'd stop pretending
to be so happy all the time.

I am not pretending.

Well, you have to be...
At least a little, because

we lost so much.

That's true.

But we still have each other.

And you, son...
are the best part

of your mother and me.
You got that?

Even if she won't get
to see you shave.

All I'm saying is
it's OK with me.

What?

You know, if you want
to have a girlfriend.

So, you're giving me permission?

Yeah, yeah.

But first you have to get
a girlfriend. Come on, old man.

- Hurry it up.
- Get over here.

Observe.

Classic human mating ritual.

The smile, little touch
of the arm.

Oh, yeah? 'Cause, uh,
Dan's doing the same thing.

Ah, so...

- the male reciprocates.
- Yeah, why not? She's a babe.

What are you ladies
gossiping about?

- Uh... Dan's hitting on Kate.
- Not hitting on;

He's circling, testing
the waters, putting out signals.

- Why not? She's great.
- Oh, yeah, she's a total babe.

- That too.
- 'Cause Dan's never been into anyone, ever, except Laura.

Wow, he's gotta get
back out there, huh?

- I will see you soon.
- She's coming.

- I just wanted to come and say goodbye.
- Hey!

- You'll be seeing her Saturday.
We've got a new ringer

- on our softball team. - You play softball?
- All-state in high school.

Please tell me
you're a first baseman.

- All-state.
- Oh! Why didn't your compressor catch fire sooner?

Sorry.

- Sorry. - He's kidding.
- Yeah. By the way,

- you inspired me.
- I did? - Yeah.

Tomorrow I'm heading over to batting
practice. I'm gonna take a couple of hacks.

Really? Why don't we go
together? Three o'clock?

- Sounds great.
- See you tomorrow. - Cool.

- And I will see you Saturday.
- See you Saturday. - Saturday.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- What did I tell you? Hmm?
- Wow, you guys played that right.

- What are you talking about?
- You're into her.

- She's... a friend.
I just met her.

Then why are you going
on a date?

- I'm not... That's not a date.
- Well, when a woman

and a man go out and, you
know, do stuff, that's a date, Dan.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. In no known
universe is batting practice a date.

It is in mine.

Well, you're an ape.

Get back to work.

All right,
have fun on your date.

- Date, date, date!
- YOU'RE an ape.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah!
- I remember that.

Yeah, she's cool.

Hey.

You gotta shut it down, buddy.

Way past your bedtime.

OK.

Yeah, you heard that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I gotta go.

Yeah, you too.

OK. OK, bye.

- How's Alex doing?
- Oh, that wasn't Alex;

- That was Rebecca.
- Rebecca?

What were you two talking
about for over an hour?

- I don't know...
everything.

So, I was wondering...

You know this
Valentine's Day ball?

- Mm-hmm.
- Um... is it just for grownups?

I-I don't know. I mean,

no kids have ever wanted
to go before.

- Well, I do, and I want to bring Rebecca.
- Well,

it's a hundred bucks a pop. You got 200 bucks
stashed around here somewhere I don't know?

Maybe you could advance
my lawn-mowing money?

That's... 20 mows. That's
like a two-summer advance.

- Well, you could charge me interest, right?
- Tell you what.

You just don't whine when I ask
you to mow, you understand?

- OK.
- Or make your bed. Or take out the trash.

- Anything. - Or walk the dog.
- We don't have a dog.

In case we ever get one.

All right, deal?

- Deal.
- All right, lights out.

Come on. We've got
a big day tomorrow.

Wait, hey! What if she doesn't
want to go?

Well, you'd better work that
out before you buy the tickets.

- Good thinking.
- Yeah.

- Thanks, Dad.
- OK. You know, I've been thinking about this conversation

we had the other day
about dating.

I think I'm gonna
give it a shot,

- see how it goes.
- Oh, you'll like it, Dad.

It's pretty awesome.

That's what they tell me.

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

Hey, Kate.

Hi, Dan. It's Kate.

Right. Um... how are you?

I'm good. You?

How was the rest of your day?

Day was good. Yours?

Great. It was really great.

So, what's up?

Tomorrow,

batting practice. Um,

the field's on the west side
of town, or the east?

You know what, you probably did.

I'm just, uh, double checking.
Three o'clock, right?

Three o'clock.

Great. I will see you then.

Great.

Everything's great.

- Here it comes.
- All right.

Show 'em where you live, kiddo.

Nice! Whoa!

Nice!

Are you kidding me?

Wait till Joey sees you.

Hey, my turn.

All right.

The boys are the firehouse are
gonna love this.

- A little rusty.
- Our new secret weapon.

Let's see what you got.

Not so rusty.

Warning-track power.

Again.

Man, it felt good
to swing again.

It's been way too long.

Well, we're gonna kick
their butts on Saturday,

assuming we let you have
every at-bat.

Come on, you're a great hitter.

Thank you.

Hey, I was wondering,
since you've been

such a big help with the ball
and everything,

and it's such an awesome night,
I thought maybe you'd want

to come with me,
you know, as my date.

- I'd love to.
- Great.

I wasn't sure... you know,
if you had a boyfriend.

Um...

I had a boyfriend.

A serious one, but, uh,

five months ago he transferred
to LA and we broke up.

- I'm sorry.
- It's OK.

Not really.

I haven't thought about

dating anybody since he left.
Until now.

So... it's a date?

- It's a date.
- Great.

I'll take my bag.

I'm sorry.

I'm really glad you asked.

See you Saturday.

It was a lot of fun.

- See you Saturday.
- OK.

Bye.

Bye.

Joey.

No, no, no, no, no,

it was not a date, Joey,
but it is now,

'cause I just asked her
to the ball.

Yeah.

OK, fine, we're dating.

Yeah, in fact, I have to cancel
Brad and Colin,

'cause I have
a Valentine's Day date.

The firefighters' ball.

You are? OK, great.
I'll see you there.

Yes, Wendy, of course
I have you to thank.

I, uh, I doubled down.

I doubled way down.

OK, bye.

Kate?

Gavin?

Kate Burlingham,

will you be my Valentine...

forever?

- What are you doing here?
- I'm here for you.

Why didn't you tell me
you were coming?

- I wanted to surprise you.
- Oh, I'm surprised all right.

- All right, well, so...
what do you say?

About what?

I just proposed to you.

I say I need to sit down.

You... just sit
there, please.

Did... did you get
a good look at the ring?

Gavin, what is this about?

It's about me loving you.

I've always loved you.

Yeah, I loved you too.

- And we broke up, remember?
- What I remember is

a woman who wasn't willing
to move to LA with me

unless we were married,
and a me who was too stubborn

and set in his ways to ask her.

But I am not that me anymore.

Well, maybe I'm not
that woman anymore.

Is there somebody new?

Is there?

I-I'm seeing someone, sort of.

Define "sort of".

He just asked me out
on our first official date.

- OK, well, so there's still hope.
- Gavin.

Letting you go was
the biggest mistake I ever made.

I screwed up.
I know that now.

And I'm willing to do whatever
it takes to get you back.

I want us back again.

I wasn't ready for this.

No, I know.

I think I just need
to sort this out.

OK, well, I mean,

let me take you for dinner
and we can talk this through...

No, not tonight.

You broke my heart
when you left.

You know that, don't you?

I know.

And I'm so sorry.

I think you should go.

OK.

How long are you here for?

Well, until you say yes.

Did somebody say,
"Deep dish everything"?

Sweet.

- What are you working on there? Valentines?
- Yeah,

yeah, I want to make one for Rebecca
for when I ask her out to the ball.

- I'm just looking for ideas.
- Sweet.

Let me get some plates.

All right.

I can't believe
he did that to you.

He says he changed his mind.

Realizes that he made
a big mistake.

A little late in the game
for that, don't you think?

Wendy, I keep telling you
that this is not a game.

So you're thinking
about taking him back?

Kate, he had his chance
and he blew it.

So I shouldn't give him
a second one?

- Do you want to?
- I don't know.

I really love the guy.

I invested years
into this relationship.

Marrying him was part
of the big plan.

- Plans change.
- I know,

except I don't know if the way
I feel about him has.

OK, OK, hey, I get it.

When you love somebody,
you love him.

I mean, me and Nick went
through a... thing.

- You did?
- Back in the day.

We sorted it out,
and I guess, I don't know,

I'm sure it's just something
that couples go through.

I am not sure
about anything, believe me.

I mean, I think
I still love him, but...

I don't know if I can trust him
not to let me down again.

And then there's Dan.

You're in love with him too?

No! I mean, we are just
getting to know each other, but...

he's pretty special,

and being with him feels
really nice.

Wow. A week and a half ago,

your Valentine's Day date was
Netflix,

and now you have two real
live guys to choose from.

- I know.
What am I gonna do?

I don't know. Well, for
starters, some more of this.

That I can do.

Yeah! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Are you kidding?

That was awesome.

Did you see that? Woo-hoo-hoo!

You treat that woman

We don't want her

Don't worry about it, Charlie
boy, that's good, that's good.

- You'll get 'em next time.
- Well, look who it is.

- Let's go, Kate.
- Show 'em where you live, Kate.

- Show 'em where you live.
- Let's go, girlfriend! - Let's go, Kate.

Tattoo one, kiddo.

Tyler. You good?

As a matter of fact, don't touch
her at all. Don't even hold her hand.

- Come on, Kate!
- Take one look at her. I can't promise anything.

- Let's go, Kate!
- Lethal weapon!

- Wait for your pitch.
Wait for your pitch, Kate.

Drive it!

- Oh!
- No way!

Go! Go! Go!

- Nice one! Nice one!
- Are you kidding me?

- Yeah!
- Touch them all!

Touch them all! Oh, yes!

Get over here!

Whoa! Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Oh, my!

New secret weapon! What?!

- Bob Ogden.
- Nice.

Um... Harry Potter.

- No. - Too easy.
- OK. Irma Pince.

- Q, Q, Q...
um... Quirinus Quirrell.

- OK, Rebecca, sweetie, it's time to go.
- 'K.

Wow, you know your Harry Potter.

There's a lot of downtime in a
flower shop, and I love to read.

What's your favourite?

You know what? I don't have
one. I pretty much love 'em all.

Yeah, me too.

So, um, you into
The Mercenary Fables?

- No, I never read 'em.
Should I check 'em out?

Definitely. They're awesome.

- OK. I will.
Thanks for the tip.

So, we on for tomorrow?

Um... Hey, Dad?

What's up?

Can I hang out with Rebecca
at the mall tomorrow afternoon?

I don't see why not.

We've got to go for the flowers
tomorrow, right?

- Right.
- Yeah, sure, no problem.

Cool. I'll walk you
to your car.

"I'll walk you to your car"?

Tyler seems like a great kid.

You sure made a great
first impression.

Come on, a Harry Potter game?

It's like fastballs...
Right in my wheelhouse.

Well, maybe we could all go
for a double date sometime.

Maybe.

I should get going.

- You played great today.
- Thanks.

You too.

I'll, uh, I'll see you tomorrow.

See you.

- Dad?
- Yo.

Hey, we gotta go.

OK.

Sweet.

- Do you like it?
- Yeah.

You inspired me.

Wendy.

Gavin.

Kate told me you were in town.

- What happened?
- A fire.

We'll be open again soon.

I just need to get
some documents from the safe.

Wendy, you don't have to say
it. I know what you're thinking.

I had no right to come back here
like this and make a play

- for Kate. - Something like that.
- I guess the thing is...

I love Kate.

I love her,

and I'll do whatever it takes
to win her back.

You have always been
determined, Gavin.

At least you recognize
that it's a game.

- So, do you know anything about her new boyfriend?
- Yeah.

Yeah, he's a friend of mine.

Well, tell me about him.

OK.

Yeah.

Hey, Kate.

- Hi.
- Hey, uh, Dan?

- Gavin Malone.
- Pleasure.

- Nice to meet you.
I'm an old friend of Kate's.

Wendy told me about the fundraiser and
obviously all the great work you guys do,

and I just thought I'd come by
and see if I could help.

We could always
use another hand.

- Great. I already grabbed us a cart.
- Let's do it.

OK, let's do it.

He looked like
a football player or something.

Yeah, a total jock.

Dude, you can't compete
with that.

What am I gonna do?

- Dump her!
- But I really like her.

- She's a two-timer, dude.
Two-timers are bad news.

What does she say?

- "Where are you?
Are you coming? Are you OK?"

I didn't.

- Good. Make her sweat.
Serves her right.

I guess.

You know, I still can't
figure out what a hedge fund is.

Ah, it's pretty simple,
actually. You know,

we provide an alternative
investment strategy

that works to mitigate loss
and preserve capital.

Now I'm really lost.

You do that from home?
The office? What?

Well, I work out of my office
down in LA.

I thought you lived here.

Not anymore.

You're the ex.

You're the new guy.

Hey.

Carney said that we could keep
the flowers in cold storage

till the afternoon of the ball,
and he offered a 15% discount

as a donation
to the scholarship fund.

- That's great.
- Fantastic.

Nice job.

I'm gonna go get another cart.

This is so not cool.

What? I was just
sizing up my competition.

Did you follow me here?

- All's fair in love...
- Look, if this is your strategy

for winning me back,
you'd better think again.

Hey.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

Take care of yourself.

Wait.

Gavin.

That sounded like goodbye.

Look, I shouldn't have come
back here.

It was selfish of me to think that we
could just pick up where we left off...

- That you'd even want to.
- I don't know what I want.

I see the way he looks at you.

It's pretty hard to miss.

I mean, it's the way
you used to look at me.

- Don't... don't go, OK?
Not yet.

I just... I need a little time
to figure this out.

All right, well, um...

will you have dinner with me
tomorrow night?

- You're here!
I was so worried.

Are you OK?

What is it?

What's wrong?

I, um...

- What?
- I...

You're freaking me out.

I saw you at the mall
with that boy.

- Boy?
- You were talking to him.

You took his number. You were...
Wait. Wait.

You came to the mall?

- And you just left?
- Well,

yeah. I-I mean, I saw you g...
Did you get my texts?

Yeah.

And you just ignored them?

Wow,

Tyler. Wow.

Wait! No!

Rebecca! Rebecca. Hey!

Please don't go.
I'm sorry!

- OK? I'm really, really sorry.
- You stood me up, Tyler.

- That is so not right!
- I know.

I'm an idiot!

It's just, I don't know
what I'm doing here.

- I've never done this before.
- Done what before?

Had a girlfriend.

A Valentine.

Well, neither have I, but
I'm absolutely positive this is

- NOT how you treat her!
- I saw you flirting with that guy.

- I wasn't flirting!
- He was flirting with you,

then, and you didn't seem
to mind.

Look, I shouldn't have
ditched you like that.

And I shouldn't have
ignored your texts.

I had no excuse except

I was jealous.

Maybe I was flirting with him.

He goes to my school,
and all the girls crush on him,

and he's never paid
any attention to me,

and I thought it was cool
that he was.

Well, of course he was.

You're amazing.

I guess when you're
somebody's Valentine,

- you probably shouldn't flirt with other guys.
- I mean,

I don't want you not to talk to
other guys, or... you know, like them.

I just... don't want you to like
them as much as you like me.

I don't.

I couldn't.

- Definitely trouble in paradise.
- I think you're right.

- Yeah, I guess if things don't work out, she'll quit the team.
- Don't think like that.

- I totally understand.
Don't sorry.

It's not a problem.

I-I thought I was over him.

I was over him.

And now I'm not so sure.

I was in love with somebody
for a long time too.

I get it.

- I'm just...
I'm really confused.

Well, that's why I should take
myself out of the situation.

- But I don't want you to.
- Listen, listen.

Our time together has been
really nice.

But you should probably focus
on what's happening

with you and Gavin.
Having me in the middle is

just... it's just going
to complicate everything.

What about our Valentine date?

Don't worry about that.

You're off the hook.

So, you got jealous.

I guess.

You guess? You saw her
at the mall with another boy,

you jumped to the wrong conclusion,
and you did a number on yourself.

Myself?

What do you mean myself?
I was angry at her.

Well, she didn't know that
until you told her. You were

- the one that was getting all bent out of shape, right?
- Yeah, you're right.

And it stinks, by the way.

Jealousy does stink.

And it can be very destructive.

Were you ever jealous with Mom?

Of course, especially
in the beginning.

But, you know, if you really care about
somebody and you grow to trust them,

then you learn to let
that kind of thing go.

Good, 'cause I don't ever want

- to feel like that again.
- To be honest with you,

I was jealous just today.
A little bit.

- With Kate.
- Really? Why?

'Cause her old boyfriend's
back in town, and he decided

to drop in on us when we were
shopping for flowers,

and it really bugged me.

She's two-timing you?

Where'd you pick up a phrase
like that, huh?

- Alex.
- Ah,

the relationship expert.

No, she was with him
for a long time.

I just happened to meet her
on the rebound.

So... I guess she's not
your girlfriend anymore?

She never really was
my girlfriend.

Hm.

What about this?

I guess I won't be
needing that, right?

That's too bad.

She's cool.

Yeah, she is pretty cool.

Hey, Sal.

Hey, Dan.

- Chels.
- Dan.

- How's it going?
- Good, how you doing?

Good.

- Hey, I got a question for ya.
- Mm-hmm?

You're a woman.

You noticed.

Look, I don't have
a lot of experience

with these kinds of things. Laura
and I met when we were just kids.

Kate broke up with you.

- Yeah.
- Why?

Her old boyfriend's
back in town.

Ah, OK, so she said she
didn't want to see you anymore.

Actually, she said
she was confused.

Ooh, what did you say?

I told her I should
just get out of the way.

So you broke up with her.

- Yeah, technically... yeah.
- I don't know, Dan. If I said

to someone I was confused,
I'd be saying, "I want to talk

to you about this, I want you
to help me not be confused".

So you actually might want
to still see them?

If I didn't want to see
someone anymore, I would

just say it. If I said I was
confused, that doesn't mean

I don't want to see you
anymore. Got it?

Yeah.

So, you ready?

I don't think I can do this.

- Come on, I can't do it alone.
- Why not?

It's a two-person thing.

So get Rebecca to do it!

Dude, it's a surprise.

That's the point.

Buy her a box of chocolates
or something.

That'll surprise her.

Come on, it's... I'm going
to a ball with her.

I'll look lame if I can't dance.

Things were way cooler
before you had a girlfriend.

Come on. Get up here, man.

I'll owe you one.

- You won't tell anybody about this?
- Of course not.

- All right.
But I will not waltz, OK?

- Why not?
- I just don't like the sound of it.

- Fine, whatever, all right?
No waltzing.

- What do we got?
- Hotel downtown.

♪ - One, two, three,

one, two, three.

Oh, my.

I'd better get this girl
for this.

You got that? Fourth and Cameron, south
side of the building. Fourth and Cameron.

You grab the defib.

We've got a live one, Joey.

Copy that.

- Lieutenant Farrell.
I got Pump 26, Aerial 16,

staging on the south side,
C side. I got smoke visible.

- ...under two minutes.
- Good?

I'm good.

All right, you guys run along. We're
gonna go check it out. You two come with me.

- Got it. - I'm set, let's go.
- Right, guys, let's do this.

- Chop, chop, fellas. Let's move.
- Let's go.

All right, you take two,
we're gonna take three, OK?

Got it.

Watch the lift.

I got flames.

Some pretty dark smoke up here.

Man down!

- Man down!
- It's Dan!

You know that thing
that we did near the end,

- the thing in three?
- Yeah, that was super fun.

Waltz.

- No way.
- Way.

- Hai-yah!
- Hold on.

Hai-yah!

Hello?

Hi, Joey.

- What happened?
- He's gonna be fine.

We just gotta get him
to the hospital to make sure.

He'll be at home
as soon as they release him.

OK. OK, Tyler.

What's wrong?

It's my dad.

Hey, what happened in there?

It was a mask malfunction.

Well, thank God
for the man-down system.

It's weird.

You're up there
gasping for breath,

you think about
some pretty scary things.

Like your life flashing
before you?

I wasn't thinking about me.

I was thinking about Tyler.

All right, let's get you
out of here.

Good?

Dad!

I'm OK.

I'm OK, son.

Hey, Wendy.

OK, tell me everything.-

Gavin couldn't have been
more charming.

No. No, we just talked.

It was nice.

Are you still mad at me
for telling him about Dan?

Furious.

Kate, he got to me.

And that little hiccup we had in
our relationship back in the day?

It was me.

So... I kind of identify
with what Gavin's going through.

Wow.

Well, I mean, Gavin is being
awfully sweet.

So then maybe you guys will

So, you have plans
for Valentine's Day?

Yes, he managed to get us
a reservation at Chez Georges.

He is being really sweet.

You didn't eat very much.

Yeah. I'm not
very hungry.

You usually inhale carbonara.

I know, but I think I might still be
feeling the effects from the smoke.

So, um, after this,
do you want to play some Wii?

- I don't think so, buddy.
I'm pretty beat.

So, do you want to watch
some of our shows?

- We're way behind.
- Not tonight.

I'm... I'm gonna pass.

Dad!

Snap out of it!

Snap out of what?

OK...

I know you really like Kate.

I mean, duh,
everybody knows that.

- We've talked about it already.
This is not gonna happen with...

- You're moping, Dad!
- Moping?

You seem like a...

like... like one
of those walking dead!

- Hey, Kate. It'd Dan.
I'm, uh, sorry I missed you.

Um... listen,

there's something I... um...

OK, when I said to you
the other day

that I really enjoy
spending time with you,

it was... an understatement.

I just really wanted you to know
that I...

you know, that I... really love
spending time with you,

and, uh, I'm a firefighter,
you know.

I, uh, I fight, and, um...

I just wanted you
to know that, uh,

I want to fight for you.

OK.

Dad?

Hey. Uh...

what are you doing out of bed?

- I heard you talking.
It woke me up.

- Was that Kate?
- Yeah,

her voicemail.

I'm glad you called her, Dad.

- I, uh, deleted the message.
- Why?

You like her.

- She should know that.
- Well, it's...

it's not that simple.

- Well, sure it is.
- When you get older, things get

- a little bit more complicated. You're just a little too...
- Don't say it, Dad.

Don't say I'm too young
to understand.

I like a girl too, you know?

I know what you're
going through.

- I appreciate that.
- Look, I'm not trying to give you a hard time.

Just, you've really
helped me out with Rebecca.

I want to return the favour.

Get over here.

You want to do me a favour?

You make sure that you get
a good night's sleep tonight,

OK? Because you're going to need
to be on your A game

if you want to sweep this girl
off her feet tomorrow. You got it?

All right.

But you shouldn't have
deleted that message.

And you should let Kate know
how you feel.

Got it.

Which way are you leaning
shirt-wise? Dark or light?

Let's see. Here.

I don't know.
I can't really decide.

You know what Rebecca's wearing?

- A dress, I guess.
- Yeah,

- what colour dress?
- I don't know.

'Cause you don't want to clash.

Wow, you're really into this.

Yeah, I want you to look good
for your girlfriend.

I thought you thought
girlfriends were lame.

Maybe not so much as I used to.

I mean, if Rebecca wanted

to, you know, introduce me
to one of her friends

or something, that'd be cool.

- Hm. I guess I'll see what I can do.
- Hey, Chief,

I'm gonna head out and make sure
everything's all set up for tonight, OK?

- I should be back around five.
- OK.

But, Dad, did I tie this right?

And do you like the colour?

Well, the knot's a real
hatchet job, but, yeah,

the colour's great.

- Are ties always supposed to choke you?
- You notice your old man never

wears one? Try the open collar
with a sport coat. It's a great look.

- Cool. All right.
- And I'm back at five.

- Don't be late.
- All right, later.

You should try to come tonight.

It's a fun event.

Well, thanks, but, uh,
we like to stay in

on Valentine's Day... you know,
have a nice romantic dinner at home.

That sounds nice.

- Well, this'll be our 43rd.
- That's a good run.

We're not anywhere near done
yet... not if I can help it.

What about, uh, you and Kate?

- Oh, no, we're... - Aren't you, uh...
- No, we're just friends.

Oh. Well,

- have fun tonight.
- You too.

OK. See you.

Seriously, she tried on like a dozen
dresses before she found the one she liked.

- You're kidding me.
What a riot.

When I left this morning,
Tyler was trying on suits.

- Aww!
- That's unheard of.

Aww. Well, they may not be
destined for each other,

my friend, but I cannot imagine
a better first boyfriend

for my why-must-you-grow-up-
so-fast daughter.

That's very sweet of you to say.

- You never know.
- No, never know.

These arrangements, look
at them, they're knockouts.

Kate really has an eye, huh?

Yeah, she sure does.

Hey, sorry things didn't
work out with you guys.

It's OK.

I'm cool.

OK.

Listen, I'm gonna go home
and get, uh, all gussied up.

- See you tonight!
- See you tonight. - See ya.

Great guy like that should
not be alone on Valentine's Day.

He won't be;
He'll be with us.

- Which makes it worse.
- Infinitely.

Well, we saved his life
once before.

There's no reason
we can't do it again.

No, ma'am, no reason at all.

- Where's Kate?
- She and my dad broke up.

- Oh, no! Why?
- Something about an old boyfriend.

But it stinks 'cause my dad
really likes her.

I heard him leave a long message
telling her that.

At least she knows how he feels.

- Yeah, but she doesn't.
- Why not?

Dad deleted the message.

If there had been
an "undelete" option,

I think he would have taken it.

An "undelete" option.

That'd be pretty cool.

Uh, Dan, you remember
my sister Serena?

Uh, wow.

Yep. I'm just trying
to keep things interesting.

- Just kidding.
- OK.

I was here
a couple of years ago,

and it got down to one serious bidder who
walked away with a dream date for a song.

I'll make sure
that doesn't happen again.

- Perfect. I love that. You're number 60.
- You know,

Kate isn't just my business
partner; She's my best friend.

She tells me pretty much
everything.

In high school, I thought
you were a great guy.

Lo and behold, you still are.

My favourite.

You remembered.

How could I forget?

Open it.

We should wait
till after dinner.

No. Open it.

Here we go again.

Kate Burlingham...

will you marry me?

- OK, let's do this.
- Bring it in.

Listen to me. I'm going to be
on the mic working the room, OK?

Now, sometimes these bids are
shout-outs, but a lot of times

the ladies just raise their paddles,
so I need you to be my spotters.

- If there's a bid that I don't see, you gotta let me know.
- Cool.

- All right, I'm counting on you. Pound it.
- Pound it.

- Hey.
- Hey, what are you doing?

There's a been a change of plan.

- What change of plan?
- Dan is not going to be dateless on Valentine's Day.

Ladies and gentlemen,

can I have
your attention please?

Normally you would say
"ladies and gentlemen",

but for this next part, the
fellas have nothing to do with it.

That's right, that's right.

The moment you've all been
waiting for.

We're about to auction off date
night with one of Manchester's bravest.

The hot, the sexy,
the one and only,

Mr. Hollywood himself,
firefighter Michael Carrier.

I need to see you
in the bathroom.

- Just give us a minute, please.
Thank you.

- We want men! We want men!
- Was it something that he ate?

Oh, I don't know,
but it came on fast.

- Michael's sick?
- As a dog.

See?

Michael, are you OK?

No!

- He can't go on the auction block like that.
- He has to.

- No, you want him to hurl on bidders?
- We need a replacement.

Like who?

No way. What about you?

Whoa, with that 'stache?

Sorry.

- I'm not doing it. No, no, no.
- No, no, no, no.

It's for the scholarship fund,
Dan.

It's why we're here.

We want men!

- We want men!
- Yep.

- We want men! We want men!
- Thank you for your pat...

- We want men!
- Thank you for your patience,

everybody. Uh, due to...

unforeseen technical
difficulties, Michael Carrier

will not be able to serve as
our auction prize tonight.

I know, I know, I'm sorry.
Not to worry.

We have a substitute.

And this being "win a date
with one of our bravest",

I can tell you from personal
experience that there are

none other braver
than our very own

Lieutenant Dan Farrell!

Come on, big guy!
Get out here!

Make him hear it!
Come on! Come on!

Woo!

Look at that guy!

Woo!

- She can't bid.
She doesn't have a paddle.

- She does now.
- Thank you.

OK, well, just so you know, I got a
huge settlement in my divorce. Huge.

Good for you,
but just so you know,

I bought 1,000 shares of Apple
back in '97 and held on to them.

Hello? All right.

We've got $3,500.
Do I hear 36?

- Thirty-six.

When I make up my mind,

I make up my mind.

She's a lucky woman.

He's all yours.

Thank you.

Five thousand going once,

5,000 going twice...

Sold for $5,000!

That is a ball record!

Way to go, buddy.

I know I paid for this, so
it's... kind of a sure thing,

but... Dan Farrell,
will you be my Valentine?
