Valentine (2001) - full transcript

Valentine's Day 1988: At the school dance, geeky Jeremy Melton bravely faces one rejection after the other when asking four popular girls to dance with him. A fifth girl, plump and insecure, agrees, but they end up making out under the bleachers. When a group of school bullies catches them, the girl claims that Jeremy attacked her. This causes them to strip off his clothes and beat him up in front of the entire school. Flash forward to 2001. We meet the five girls who were in that school gym: Kate, Paige, Shelly, Lily and the formerly plump Dorothy. They are all in their 20's now and trying to sort out their love lives, which is appropriate, since Valentine's Day is coming up. After a disastrous date with a loser, one of the girls, a pre-med student, is murdered by a Cherub-mask wearing killer who sent her a death threat in the form of a Valentine card prior to the attack. After the four remaining girls are reunited at her funeral, they all start receiving threatening cards and messages. At first they don't know who would want to hurt them, but eventually they figure that maybe Jeremy is responsible. Police records show that Jeremy has completely disappeared, so no one knows what he looks like. Could the formerly nerdish Jeremy have had plastic surgery and turned into one of the girls' handsome boyfriends? Who ever it is, the lone survivor has to put a stop to this spurned individual's murder spree before she, too, becomes a valentine to die for.

Shelley?

Dance with me?

In your dreams,

loser.

Oh, Lily?

Wi... will you

dance with me?

Eww.

Um, Paige?

W-w-would you

dance with me?

I'd rather be

boiled alive.

Hi, Kate.

Want to dance?

Maybe later, Jeremy.

Okay. Maybe later.

Hi, Dorothy.

Um...

Do you want to

dance with me?

Come on up here.

- Shh.

- Shh.

Check it out!

Thick and thin

gettin' it on.

That's nasty.

Like it, BuffaJo?

gettin' hot?

Stop it.

Get away from me.

Is Pervert at it again?

Perv attack you?

Yeah. Jeremy attacked me.

He attacked me.

Pervert jumped Buffalo.

I didn't know.

Pervert.

Come on,

let's get him!

Yeah!

Pound him!

Slap him in the face!

Get him!

Oh!

It's simple, really,

Shelley.

You see...

from an evolutionary

point of view,

Jason looks for

an attractive young woman

because he wants

healthy children.

and a young woman

like yourself

looks for

a successful man

like Jason...

because she wants

to feel safe.

Um...

Jason has some, uh,

spinach in his teeth.

Oh.

Thanks.

Anyway...

and so the species

survives.

I mean...

what else is there,

really,

in the end?

In the end.

Well...

there's the check.

Check, please.

Yes.

Can I get you

to get my car?

- Of course.

- Thank you.

Um...

No dessert?

Um, no.

I'm sorry, I have finals.

Oh, that's too bad.

- Thank you very much.

- Thank you.

Whoa.

Muy expensivo.

Let's see...

you had the salmon

and the crab cocktail.

I had the chicken

and the salad.

and that would be...

Right.

Okay, well,

thank you, Jason.

It was nice

to meet you.

What, that's it?

What's it?

Don't I get a kiss?

Excuse me?

It's just a little

frickin' kiss.

Oh, God.

Look, this "hard to get" shit

doesn't play with Jason.

You know, Jason,

I'm not a doctor yet,

but it's

my considered opinion

you seek

psychiatric help.

Soon.

Says you.

Jason likes your dress.

Okay, Chad,

it's just you and me now.

I promise to be gentle.

Strong, silent type.

How refreshing.

Okay.

Transversus abdominis.

Someone there?

Hello?

Hello?

Oh!

Oh, God.

Jesus.

Oh my God.

You scared the shit

out of me.

Sorry.

Oh wow.

It's awfully late.

You gonna be okay

in here all alone?

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

I've got Chad.

My corpse.

Oh.

Uh...

well, uh...

Good luck tomorrow.

Yeah, thanks. you too.

Thanks.

"The journey of love

is an arduous trek"

"My love grows for you

as you bleed from your neck"

That's nice.

That's...

that's really nice.

Okay.

Aah! Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Aah!

Oh...

Oh, shit.

Oh my God. Stop!

Shit.

Stop fucking around.

Aah!

Uh... uh...

Oh!

Shit.

Aah! Aah!

No!

Aah! No!

Uh-uh.

Come on, Kate.

You promised.

Paige, today at work,

I wrote a column about

computer monitor dust wipes.

Mm-hmm.

Isn't that enough pain

for one day?

This isn't painful.

I mean, painful's

blind dating.

Painful's meeting

someone on the internet

and finding out that

6-footish really means...

5'4" with loafers.

I know.

Oh, Kate. You meet

thirty guys a night.

And you get thirty seconds

apiece unless you want more.

I mean,

it's brilliant.

It'll be fun.

I haven't really completely

broken up with Adam yet.

Oh, but you will.

Believe me, relationships

don't make U-turns,

and Adam's a drunk.

He's not a drunk.

He's a borderline

addictive personality

who happens to

like alcohol a lot.

Uh-huh.

All right. Fine.

Let's just do it already.

You know, my mother's family

dates back to the Mayflower.

I traced it myself.

She makes

her own turtlenecks.

She had nine children.

Awesome, huh?

She's, uh...

she's a pretty

amazing woman.

Hi.

Left me out

in the goddamn blue.

Says she can do better.

Says...

I don't fulfill

her needs.

Sexually.

It's obvious to me...

girl's gotta

be a dyke.

Greatest team...

in the history of

professional football.

49ers. Yee-ha!

The Bible.

The Bible is the foundation

of morality and marriage.

I know what

you're thinking.

You do?

You're thinking you want

to get the hell out of here.

That's pretty good.

Hi there.

Hi there.

I'm Paige.

Brian.

Brian,

did my friend mention

that she's in

a serious relationship?

No, actually, she didn't.

But I'm free.

You are appalling,

you know that?

Hey, you had

your thirty seconds.

24. You took my last 6.

Oh, right.

Hello?

Dorothy, you're never

gonna believe

what Paige made me do.

What?

Oh my God.

What?

Shelley Fisher

was taken long before her time.

we mourn not her loss,

but ours,

and so this is a time for

those of us left behind

to share our burden.

I never know what to do

in situations like this.

I'm really bad at it.

I know that we're

supposed to be...

takin' a break and all,

I just thought

you needed a friend.

I'm glad you're here.

Yeah.

So, um...

What do I do?

I'm sorry.

Hey...

Front page.

Kate, that's for

Spencer Marks.

You remember.

I mean, we both started

on the paper together.

Look, anyway, they just named

him lead reporter on the Giants,

so I just got it for him

as a gift. That's all.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

It doesn't matter.

Of course it matters.

Look, I haven't touched

a thing in three weeks.

I'm doing

really good, Kate.

So, uh...

You think we can...

get together this week?

Dinner or something?

I don't know.

Come on.

It's just dinner.

Not a marriage proposal.

Adam, the last time

you and I had dinner,

we ended up in a hotel in

Lake Tahoe for three days.

Oh, yeah. Right.

That.

- That.

- Yeah.

Yeah.

I'll call you, okay?

Yeah.

- Take care.

- Okay.

Hmm.

He looks good, huh?

Kate, that boy

always looks good.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Was that Adam?

Please don't give me a hard

time about this right now.

Sorry.

Jesus, Paige.

It's a funeral.

What?

Did you guys see

the police are here

talking to people?

Yeah, I know. So awful.

How are you doing,

Lily? Are you okay?

I don't know. I...

I can't believe

she's gone.

Excuse me, ladies.

I'm Detective Vaughn.

I understand you're

friends of Shelley?

Yeah, we've known her

since we were kids.

Care if I ask you

a few questions?

- Sure.

- Yeah.

When's the last time

you saw her?

Um, about a year ago.

- More like two for me.

- Same here.

Yeah, she was really busy

with med school.

You know anyone by the name

of Jason Marquette?

Who's that?

Shelley was with him

the night that she died.

Now he's missing.

Listen, ladies,

If you think of

anything, anyone...

just give me

a call, okay?

Okay, ladies.

Take care.

Thanks.

Ooh.

Hmm.

"Roses are red...

"Violets are blue...

"They'll need dental records

to identify you!"

Hey, Dorothy.

Oh. Hey, Campbell.

Come in.

Cozy little place you have.

Is everything okay?

Uh... well actually I feel

a little weird about this.

In fact, I tried

calling you earlier,

but you weren't home.

I need to ask you

a favor.

Sure.

Well, my roommate,

he's left town,

and he hasn't been paying

his share of the rent.

So when I got home today,

I found out that all my stuff

had been thrown out

on the sidewalk.

Skis, CDs, clothes,

everything just gone.

And of course the timing

couldn't be worse

because every penny I have

is invested in this start-up.

Millie?

Millie!

Can you please make up

a guest room?

- Oh, no, Dorothy, I couldn't...

- Wait.

Did your father say?

No. I said.

Uhh, Dorothy, I'm embarrassed

about this.

- I mean...

- Don't be ridiculous.

Go get yourself

settled in,

and I will be

right there.

You...

You're the best.

Mmm.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Mmm, mmm, mmm.

Who's your friend?

His name is Campbell,

and I met him at yoga,

and he's off-limits.

So just let my dad know he's

staying here for a few days.

Is he the reason

you've been

spending all your time

on the treadmill?

Kim, you're not

my girlfriend,

and you're

not my mother.

I'm just taking an interest

in your life, Dorothy,

you know,

as your stepmom.

When you're old enough

to rent a car by yourself,

we can discuss your role

as my stepmother.

In the meantime,

don't talk about my sex life.

You have a sex life?

Yeah, I do, and I don't charge

by the hour like you.

How dare you!

Oh, get your

hands off me,

you mail-order bride

from hell.

Hey! Break it up,

you two.

She just called me

a mail-order bride from hell.

Dorothy.

Well I don't even know

what she just called me.

It's okay, sweetheart.

You have to show

more respect to my wife.

But, dad, she...

Hello?

Hello?

Oh, come on.

Not today.

Geez.

Classic.

Murray, Murray, Murray.

Hi. You've reached Murray,

the super.

Leave a message.

Murray,

it's Kate in 403.

So, I don't

have any water,

and I have to be at work

in a half hour,

and I've got crap

in my hair.

And... damn it!

Murray!

are you there?

Shit.

Ha.

Of course.

Oh, God.

Ugh.

Perfect timing, Murray.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello, Kate.

Hi, Gary.

You look great, Kate.

How about

a date, Kate?

You can be my mate,

Kate.

You're scary, Gary.

This could be

our fate, Kate.

Uh...

hey there, Lily.

Hey there, yourself.

Thank you for

requesting my tape.

My name's Lance.

Hello, Lance.

I think

I'm perfect for you.

- Mmm.

- I'm outgoing, I'm fun,

I'm 6-footish.

I like board games,

I play a lot of,

uh, ocean sports,

you know, kayak...

Good-bye, Lance.

Better luck

next time, Lance.

Who is it?

Who is it?

There's nobody there.

Probably just Lance.

He doesn't clear

the peephole, remember?

Hello!

Hmm.

- That's strange.

- They were fast.

Ooh, I bet

it's from Max.

The rose.

Valentine.

Let's see it.

"'Tis a well known fact

that beauty is skin deep,

savor the taste...

you are what you eat"

Well, that's sweet,

I think.

It's the strangest

valentine I've ever seen.

Oh, look,

it's not from Max.

Look, "J.M."

Must be for you.

Why?

Because you've covered much more

of the alphabet than I have.

Who's J.M.?

Bite me.

It's definitely for you.

Okay.

You say it's for me,

it's for me.

Mmm.

Oh!

John McCray.

Never even

made a pass at me.

Jeff Malik?

Hmm... not his style.

Jake Matheson.

Gay.

Who is the guy who sent you

the computer virus?

Beckett Broda.

Oh... damn.

J.M., J.M., J.M.

Jeremy Melton?

Who's Jeremy Melton?

I'm kidding.

No, who... who's

Jeremy Melton?

Come on.

Sixth grade?

Pervert,

60 pounds...

buck teeth,

"You look so pretty,

Paige."

He can't still live

in town, can he?

Lily, I'm kidding.

No, I know.

it's just...

what do you think

happened to him?

I don't know.

What does it matter?

It doesn't.

God, we were so horrible

to that kid.

Whatever.

All I know is,

that was nasty.

Guh.

I'm talking maggots.

Actual live worms

inside the chocolate.

Well, at least

he left it at the door.

I swear, there was

someone in my apartment.

I'm telling you, you must have

left your door unlocked.

I mean, we were all

so looped by the time we left.

Yeah, but it still

freaked me out.

You should have

seen this mask.

Look what

we have here.

He's subtle.

Well?

You want to

come over?

Guess not.

- Bye.

- Hey, guys.

This is Max.

Hi, Max. I'm Kate.

Hello, Kate.

That'll do, Max.

I'm just

being polite, Paige.

So, isn't

the show great?

Yeah, it's great.

Cheers.

Better than

your last one.

You hate it.

No. N-no.

It's all right.

I hate it, too,

sometimes.

But an artist

has got to explore.

Mmm.

Max. I'm sorry.

We're having trouble

with the video playback

in the maze.

Christ.

Forgive me.

- Mmm, girl.

- Mmm.

Whoo.

I'll be right back,

you guys.

Hi.

Hello.

I'm Paige.

Oh, hi, Paige.

I'm Campbell.

So, what brings you

to this fascinating

cultural event, Campbell?

That's a very good

question, Paige.

- Actually, I'm here with...

- Hi, guys.

I see you've met Campbell.

Yeah, Paige was just

hitting on him.

Sorry,

I didn't know.

Campbell, this

is Kate and Lily.

And I see you've

already met Paige.

Nice to meet

all of you.

The four of us all had headgear

and braces together.

Really?

Well, it seems

you've all turned

out all right.

Yeah, well.

- Can I get you a drink?

- Yes, please.

Dorothy, what else have you

been keeping to yourself?

Valentine's Day...

What does it mean?

What's it really about?

A celebration of true love?

It was really strange...

a cupid mask,

like a cherub.

Like at that

Valentine's Day dance?

What dance?

Junior high.

God, Jeremy Melton.

Oh, my God,

this is so weird.

We were just talking

about him this afternoon.

Ahem.

So, ladies

and gentlemen,

I hope you enjoy

your blind date.

If you would,

I need the ladies to go

to the left,

and the men to the right.

Ladies one side,

men the other.

Uh-uh-uh.

Ladies one side,

men the other.

Oh...

I really like

the abstract frames.

Mm-hmm. Yes.

What do you like to do?

Wow. What is wrong

with this guy?

- Dorothy!

- Sorry.

Look at that one.

What do you like to do?

What do you like to do?

What do you like to do?

This is like

a lingerie commercial.

That's his point.

It's art. Just keep going.

Love me.

Love me.

Love me.

Love me.

Love me.

Love me.

Guys?

Oh!

What?

Who's that?

Hey, Amy.

That's Amy.

What do you mean,

"That's Amy"?

Get her out of here.

I invited her here.

Excuse me?

Please, relax.

What the hell

are you doing?

It's not like we're in

junior high school, okay?

Look, I've got to go.

I have an early

flight tomorrow.

I don't have

to deal with this.

Great. What...

what's the matter?

Oh, what's the matter?

Well, the problem is,

you turned out to be

a cheap,

hypocritical sleazeball.

Yeah, but you knew that.

So does this mean you're not

gonna be my Valentine?

Hold me.

Love me. Love me.

I'm so lonely.

Hold me.

Love me. Love me.

Love me. Love me. Love me.

'Til death do us part.

'Til death do us part.

To love until death...

Don't walk away

from me.

Don't walk away from me.

Don't walk away from me.

Don't walk away from me.

Woman, distorted:

Love me. Love me...

love me... love me...

I said I want

my money back.

Hey, leech,

I'm talking to you.

Listen, I have no idea

what you're talking about.

- Oh, really?

- That's right.

- Hey, is everything okay?

- Yeah.

Oh. Well, well.

If it isn't the latest victim.

Excuse me,

who are you?

That's none

of your business.

- She's no one.

- No one?

That's right,

I'm just the idiot

who's still waiting

for the return

on her internet

investment.

What did you call that

again, hmm?

Bleed Me Dry dot com?

Yeah, that's nice.

Okay, let's go, Dorothy.

Watch your back, leech.

Well, sorry

I couldn't make it.

You didn't

miss much,

Except for Dorothy's

boyfriend

getting attacked

by some crazy woman.

Oh, and some

really bad art.

I mean, this stuff

was basically porn.

That sounds okay.

I don't know, things have

just been really weird lately.

I mean, today I find

this cupid mask

in the elevator.

I turn around,

and there's my creepy

neighbor leering at me.

"Don't be late, Kate.

You're first-rate, Kate."

- That guy?

- Yes, that guy.

Every time I do

my laundry, he's there.

Day, night,

doesn't matter.

Knock it off.

And yesterday

I noticed

that my underwear

was missing.

Oh, yeah, don't worry

about that. That was me.

I like to try them on,

you know?

Makes me feel free.

I tap in to my,

you know, feminine side.

What's it gonna be

tonight?

Can I please

have a Corona?

Just a club soda,

please.

Actually,

make that two.

Sure.

So...

what do you say?

I'm just asking you

for a chance, that's all.

I want to, Adam, but...

You drink. And you

get out of control,

and it scares me.

I've stopped.

I've changed.

So then it won't

make a difference

if you have

to wait a little.

Right.

I don't get it.

We told you,

we haven't seen Shelley

in over a year.

How are we going

to help you?

Humor me.

By the way, wasn't there

another one of you?

Lily.

She's out of town.

These are remembrance cards

sent to the parents.

Take a look at this.

It's odd.

Jeremy Melton.

J.M.

Jeremy Melton,

geez.

Who's Jeremy Melton?

This loser

from sixth grade.

He and Shelley

were friends?

No,

that's the thing.

we haven't seen him

in years.

Why would he send

a card?

Because it's him.

It's Jeremy.

I got a valentine the other day,

and it was awful,

it was someone saying that

they were gonna kill me,

and it was signed "J.M."

Ours, too... the card

in our chocolates.

You both received

threatening notes signed "J.M."?

And after I tell you I'm looking

for a Jason Marquette,

you don't think

to mention it?

I thought

it was a joke.

Okay. Why would Jeremy Melton

want to hurt you?

Well, he attacked me

at a dance in junior high,

and he got sent to reform

school because of it.

Well, that would explain

why he threatened you,

but why go after Shelley?

Why your friends?

I don't know,

but he is.

You don't know that.

The truth is, some kid

that you all teased

in the sixth grade

is probably not worth

getting

all worked up over.

But I'll go

check it out anyway.

You do that.

I'm next.

I know I'm next.

What are

you talking about?

Because Jeremy got

sent to reform school

because of me.

Dorothy,

he attacked you.

Dorothy...

He did attack you, right?

No. He didn't.

I just said

that he did.

Why would you

do that?

You guys wouldn't

understand.

Do you remember what

I looked like back then?

You... you were bigger.

Y-you were

big-boned.

- You were plump.

- I was fat, okay?

The only person

that looked at me

the whole night

was Jeremy.

And then when

those guys came up,

and they saw us

making out,

I couldn't bear it.

and so...

I lied.

And I said

he attacked me.

Dorothy, why didn't

you say something

about this to Vaughn?

I just couldn't.

Dorothy, I really

wouldn't worry about this.

Jeremy Melton couldn't

manage a water fountain

without screwing up.

I don't think he's capable of

an intricate revenge plot.

Hmm.

- Hi.

- God, you scared me.

What are you

doing here?

I thought we were

having dinner.

We are?

Oh, we are. I'm sorry.

I completely forgot.

I'm just a little

distracted.

What's up?

Uh, it's probably

nothing.

And you wouldn't

believe me if I told you.

So you think

it's far-fetched, right,

this whole Jeremy Melton/

Revenge of the Nerds theory?

I don't know.

Well, what should I do?

I'm thinking Mexico,

the two of us,

just 'til this all

blows over, all right?

Well.

Well.

- Want to come up?

- Yeah, I do, believe me.

I do...

But...?

I don't want you

to do something tonight

that you're going

to write off

as a weak moment

tomorrow.

So... get upstairs

before I lose my will.

Kate.

Don't worry about it,

all right?

Everything's

gonna be all right.

Okay.

Okay, so first you

guys get Melton shipped off

to reform school.

A year later,

he lands in juvenile hall.

Six months after that,

a state-run mental hospital.

That's awful.

You must have done

some number on him

at the dance, huh?

Where is he now,

detective?

No idea.

All we know

is that his parents

died in a fire

a couple years back.

Was he involved?

Don't know.

Ruled an accident.

Follow me. I want to

show you something.

I pulled a file photo,

and I ran some

enhancements.

Here we go.

That's him.

Right.

But know anybody

that looks like this?

Or this?

Or this?

Or this?

Brown contacts,

blue, green.

Beard, goatee,

mustache.

Ten years

is a long time,

and that's not counting

the possibility

of plastic surgery.

Do you have any more

recent pictures of him?

If we did, don't you think

we'd be looking at them?

The point is,

this could be anyone.

Where's your friend Lily?

We told you,

she's in L.A.

What about Max Raimi?

What do you know

about that guy?

Just that

he's an artist. A bad one.

I know.

I've seen his work.

What about the rest of you?

Any boyfriends?

Paige, for example?

The short answer is no.

What about you?

Uh, sort of.

But I've known him

awhile.

Meaning what?

Meaning, we used to work

at the same paper.

He covers the Giants.

His mother's a lawyer.

His father's a teacher.

They're from Seattle.

How's that?

What about you?

I have a boyfriend.

But I can guarantee you

he's not Jeremy Melton.

Why don't you

let me decide?

His name's Campbell,

and he's very smart,

and he's starting

his own internet venture.

And how long

have you known him?

A month.

And where

did you meet him?

At yoga, but it's a very

exclusive gym, okay?

Wait, I thought you said

that Campbell

was staying with you.

Well, he is,

but, you know,

his roommate didn't

pay the rent, so...

Dorothy, you met this

guy a month ago,

and he's staying

with you?

Excuse me, Paige,

but there have been guys

whose last names

you didn't know

that you let

into your pants.

I'm just letting

this guy into my house.

Well you don't have

to be bitchy.

Fine!

So, while we're on

the topic, Dorothy,

what is Campbell's

last name?

You know, that's it.

This is bullshit.

And I don't have to

answer these questions.

I'll see you guys later.

That went well.

- I gotta go.

- Me too.

Paige, actually, I'd like

you to stay a moment.

Uh-oh.

am I in trouble, Detective?

You want to

interrogate me?

It'll just take

a second.

Talk later?

Sure, if I'm not

under arrest.

Please, take a seat.

So, Paige, what are we

gonna do about this?

I thought

that was your job.

You're the

detective, right?

I'm not talking about

the case, Paige.

Don't be coy.

I'm talking about this.

This?

Tension.

The tension?

The sexual tension.

Let's be frank.

Detective Vaughn.

Please remove your hand

from my thigh.

All right.

Where would you

like me to put it?

How about

up your ass?

Have a good day.

So you'll get

back to me on that.

Who the fuck are you?

It's not what it

looks like, brother.

Okay? Take it easy.

I am not well.

Aah!

Here you go.

Hey, Happy

Valentine's Day.

Happy Valentine's Day.

I came by to

drop off gifts.

I would have been

here earlier,

but I spent most

of the afternoon

talking to

that detective.

It was very

romantic, actually.

I wanted to explain

about that.

Nothing to explain.

He's just talking to as

many people as possible.

Kate, don't worry

about it.

Listen, do you need a date

for Dorothy's party tonight?

Come on, you

don't want to go

to a Valentine's

party alone.

True.

So where's my gift?

I picked it out

myself.

Very cute.

I got you

something, too.

Oh, you got

my suit cleaned.

Turn around.

"IOU... TLC."

That is outstanding.

Love that.

Can't get that

at the mall.

No.

Bye.

What the hell

are you doing?

What are you

doing here?

Detective Vaughn

is a disgusting,

lecherous scumbag.

What happened?

After you left, he put

his hand on my thigh.

Did you ask him to?

What do you think?

I don't know.

Hello.

It's Dorothy.

Uh, hold on, Dorothy.

Paige is here, too.

Hey, Dorothy.

Kate nearly clubbed me

on the head with an iron.

They came for Campbell.

Yeah, I know.

they questioned Adam, too.

Listen, Kate,

did they call Adam,

or did they question him

for two hours?

'Cause now they've

requested that Campbell

not leave town

for a few days.

It's humiliating.

Did you give

Vaughn his name?

No.

Well, then,

how did he get it?

He's a detective.

You know, you go back

and forth about Adam...

"should I or shouldn't I?"

Campbell's all I've got.

I don't feel like being dumped

before my party, Kate.

Come on, Dorothy,

just hang up the phone

and make it up to the guy

if he's so upset.

What do you mean?

Use your imagination.

Thanks, Paige.

you're welcome.

She's so ridiculous.

Do you need

instructions?

It's detective

Vaughn, Kate.

Uh, sorry, Detective.

Uh, good news.

We picked up Marquette.

Oh. So does this mean

that it's Jeremy?

Well, we haven't started

the questioning yet.

But if it isn't Melton,

you're gonna keep

looking, right?

We're gonna keep pursuing

every angle on this thing.

Meantime, be careful.

Stay with your friends.

I'll let you know

when I've got more.

Thank you, Detective.

Well?

Picked up Marquette.

- What do we have here?

- Hey.

The plan is to have this

up and running by tonight.

I'm sorry about

this morning.

Oh, just don't even

worry about it.

Really,

it's not a big deal.

Uh...

Happy Valentine's Day.

Oh. Dorothy, what...

I had no idea

we were exchanging.

Really, I'm embarrassed.

Do I have... do I open it?

- Mm-hmm.

- Okay.

Put it on.

Wow.

You like it?

Do I like it?

What are you...

- Dorothy, I love it.

- Yeah?

♪ I guess the honeymoon

is over ♪

♪ and all the champagne

is gone ♪

♪ Lately...

Don't worry about it.

It's just I...

♪ and everything

seems wrong ♪

I'm gonna go take

a shower.

Oh, Jesus!

Now it's my turn.

Wow.

It's so beautiful.

- Thank you.

- Mmm. Yeah.

So, listen, I have

that investor meeting.

But... you're leaving?

Well, just,

you know, for drinks.

It'll be an hour, tops.

But you have the militant

Millicent here,

and she's got her army

of caterers and workmen,

so I think

you'll be just fine.

Yeah, I guess.

All right.

Well, uh, do you

care to join me now?

Uh, it's tempting,

tempting, but, um...

I want to get a quick workout

in before my meeting, okay?

But I promise you I will be

back before the party, okay?

Evan Wheeler,

account number 3165936.

Look, we've been over this

three times already.

And I realize

it's the entire account.

February 16, 1940.

Mother's maiden name:

Sather.

Any other questions?

Uh... San Francisco.

What's that?

Look, don't tell me

where the fuck I was born.

Just transfer

the goddamn funds.

Campbell?

Campbell?

Fuckin'...

Yes, Dorothy?

We just lost the hot

water in the main house.

Could you do me

a big favor

and relight the pilot

in the basement?

Uh, yeah, yeah, sure.

That's no problem.

Fuckin' perfect.

Now I'm on the staff.

Perfect.

Great.

Damn it!

Fucking perfect.

Great.

Shit.

Yeah.

Think that's worth

at least a Porsche?

Yeah.

Shit!

Aah!

I'll get you one too!

There you are!

Excuse me.

- There you are.

- Hey.

Hey, any luck

finding a date tonight?

I'm playing phone tag

with Brian.

- Who?

- Brian?

Remember the guy

from turbo dating?

Oh, right.

Well, I'm gonna

go look around.

Okay, have fun.

Hey.

Still no Campbell?

Nope.

Well, it's only 11:00.

He said he'd be here

before the party.

I'm not an idiot, Kate.

I know when I'm

being dumped, okay?

You're not getting

dumped, Dorth.

Right.

Happy Valentine's Day,

ladies.

Hey, Adam.

Hey.

- Mmm.

- Oh.

- You look great.

- So do you.

Yeah, you look great.

Nice party, Dorothy.

It blows.

Everything okay?

Oh, yeah, everything's fine.

It's just that men suck.

Oh, that's no offense

to you, Adam.

None taken.

Yeah, okay.

Excuse me. Ahem.

He'll get here,

Dorth. Don't worry.

Don't ask.

Listen, you doing

anything later on?

Uh, actually,

I'm busy.

I'm gonna hook up

with some young stud,

get a little action.

- Really?

- Mmm.

Sounds good.

Anyone I know?

Well, you know,

I'm young...

reasonably

good-looking...

it shouldn't be

that difficult

finding volunteers.

Hmm...

Yeah, you'll do.

Hey, hot stuff.

You came.

I like how you move.

Why don't you join me?

Wow.

You know...

I'd much rather

take you upstairs.

What's upstairs?

Something I want

to show you.

It's a surprise.

I love surprises.

So...

So?

Mmm.

We're upstairs now.

Yes, we are.

You got a surprise

for me?

Yes, I do.

Surprise.

You brought me up here

to show me your penis.

Aw, that's so sweet.

Well?

What are you

waiting for, honey?

Wax it.

Oh, you're unbelievable.

Paige, Paige, Paige,

Paige, come here.

Relax, okay?

It'll be fun.

All right.

Take off your shirt.

All right.

Don't forget your pants.

Now lay down.

What are you doing?

Never mind.

It's a surprise.

I knew it.

Knew what?

The first time I saw you,

I knew you were kinky, Paige.

You still want me

to wax it?

Yes, I do.

♪ Now I feel like

a baby... who has ♪

♪ just opened its eyes ♪

Ow! Oh, my...

Oh... God!

Paige.

Bitch! Oh!

This party sucks.

Things didn't go well

with Brian, I take it?

Mmm.

Oh, my God.

This is

a private party.

Get your little paws

off me!

What is she doing here?

She was just leaving,

Dorothy.

Hey, hey, hey! Hey!

That's my necklace!

What are you

talking about?

Campbell gave this

to me.

And what are you

supposed to be,

his Valentine?

I don't think so, sweetie,

'cause that necklace

was stolen from me

along with half

of the rest of my jewelry.

Hurts, doesn't it?

He loves me.

He loves your trust fund.

Trust me.

Okay, time to go.

Watch the jacket!

Bye-bye.

Now this party

officially sucks.

No kidding.

Where are you going?

To chill out.

Hello again.

Hey.

Hey, wait a minute.

Where are you

running off to?

What do you want, Max?

Easy, sweetness.

I just wanted to know

if you've seen Lily yet.

She's in L.A.,

and don't

call me sweetness.

Well, sweetness,

Lily's not in L.A.

What are you

talking about?

Well, I called her office,

and they said

she never showed up.

Are you sure?

About what?

Hello!

Max, about Lily.

How long have you

known this?

You know, you're really

at home in this outfit, girl.

You just look...

just... yum.

Ugh...

Oh, great.

What are you

supposed to be?

I... I... I was just, um...

No! No!

Aah! No! No!

Uhh!

- Dorothy?

- Hmm?

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Hey, listen.

That Max guy said that

Lily never showed up in L.A.

Have you heard anything

from her?

No.

But I bet Paige has.

Well, do you think

he's here?

- Who?

- Jeremy Melton.

God, I hope not.

Listen. Listen!

My dad's got a gun

in his study.

That's just a good way

to get us both killed.

Hello?

Kate, it's Detective Vaughn.

Listen, we had to let

Marquette go.

What do you mean?

I mean exactly

what I just said.

We didn't have enough

evidence to hold him.

He could be anywhere...

like your party, for example.

What? Wh-what happened?

Um, listen, Detective,

our friend Lily

never showed up

in L.A.

Stay put. Stay in groups.

I'm on my way.

What?

They had to let

Marquette go.

So now they've got

nothing?

Come on.

Which one of

the 12 steps is this?

Kate.

There you are.

You know, I've been looking

all over for you.

And I wasn't at the bottom

of the bottle?

Kate.

Kate, come on.

Kate, don't be mad.

It's Valentine's Day.

Get away from me!

Hello.

Hello.

Does someone

want to be my Valentine?

Come on.

Hello.

Come on.

Come on.

Brian.

All right,

get the fuck out.

Ah!

Get your hands off of me!

Oh, God!

Stop!

Help!

Somebody, please help me!

Ah! Somebody help me!

Help!

Someone!

Aaah!

Uh! No!

Aah!

Aah!

Oh!

No!

Aah!

Wah! Aah!

Aah!

- Kate?

- Yeah.

Hey, Kate...

shit, we blew a fuse.

Come on,

grab Stephanie and let's go.

Jesus, this place

cleared out fast.

Where the hell

is Paige?

Oh, she's probably

in a hot tub.

she always ends up

in the hot tub

at these parties.

Where's Adam?

I don't know.

Did you check the wine cellar?

Could be him,

you know?

What could be him?

Oh, come on, Dorothy.

No, no, no. don't

"come on, Dorothy" me.

Why the hell not?

Because I know Adam.

Okay, fine... he's no angel,

but he's not a murderer.

Well, you didn't know

he was an alcoholic

when you first met him,

either, did you?

I'm just saying I don't know

if I trust your judgment.

That's enough.

Come on, Kate...

with a little working out

and, I don't know,

some plastic surgery,

why couldn't Jeremy Melton

become Adam Carr?

Okay, fine.

then by the same logic,

why couldn't Jeremy Melton

be Campbell?

You...

should take that back.

Look, Dorothy,

I'm not saying it's true.

I'm just saying if we're going

to be pointing fingers here...

I mean, you heard what

that Ruthie woman said.

And how well

do you really know Campbell?

I mean, you don't even know

his last name, for God's sake.

You really can't stand it,

can you?

Can't stand what?

That I found someone just

as good as your boyfriend...

just as smart

and just as good-looking.

That's ridiculous.

I mean, why...

I mean, why should I...

why should the fat girl

get a turn, huh?

- What?

- Oh, come on, Kate.

You've always been

the popular one,

and Shelley was always

the brainy one,

and Lily was

the fun one,

and Paige was

the sexy one,

and I was

the big, fat one.

And as far as

you're concerned,

that's exactly

the way that it is.

Well, you know what?

Screw all of you!

Dorothy, come back.

Come on.

Come on, Vaughn.

This is Detective

Leon Vaughn, S.F.P.D.

Leave a message.

Aaah!

Aah!

Paige... Dorothy!

Paige... Dorothy!

Hi.

It's you.

It's me.

You're still here.

I'm still here.

I heard a noise.

I thought something might

have happened to Dorothy.

Dorothy's a big girl.

What do you mean?

Dance with me, Kate.

No, Adam, I just want

to find Dorothy.

I'm asking you nicely.

Dance with me.

Don't make me beg, Kate.

Please.

You know...

I screwed up, Kate.

You had

a couple of drinks.

It's not the end

of the world.

No, you're disappointed.

I'm just worried

that you'll hurt me.

Hurt you?

Hurt you?

No, baby, I love you.

And you're the only

good thing in my life.

All these other people,

they can just die

as far as I care.

But you...

Hey...

You mean something to me.

What's the matter, baby?

You're shaking.

I don't want to hurt you,

either, Adam.

I understand.

But I will.

Oh... Jesus!

God.

Dorothy!

Dorothy!

Dorothy!

Hello, Kate.

What the hell's

going on?

Nothing.

What happened

back there?

I just want to talk

about this.

I'm sorry.

I guess I was just

a little upset

about the drinking.

I mean,

you were doing so well.

- Kate!

- Aah!

- Kate!

- Aah!

- Kate!

- Aah!

Paige!

Why do you want

to hurt me like that?

I love you.

I always loved you.

Stay away from me.

Oh, come on, Kate.

- Ah!

- Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

shit.

Shit.

Aaah!

Aaah!

Adam, I'm sorry!

It's all right.

I'm so, so sorry.

It's all right,

It's over.

It's over.

No, don't go near it!

It's all right.

It's okay, all right?

Dorothy.

Hey, don't look at her.

It's at the top

of the street on the right.

Please hurry.

Police are on their way.

I don't understand.

A few weeks ago,

she was so happy...

happier than

I'd ever seen her.

It's okay.

I just don't understand.

All I can think is...

if someone is

that lonely

and that angry,

then they can learn

to hide it.

But inside,

it never dies.

It just stays there,

eats away at you...

'til one day, you have to

do something about it.

And we all liked her.

We were her friends.

Sometimes that's

not enough, I guess.

I am so sorry

for the way I was before.

None of that

matters now.

I love you, Adam.

I love you, Kate.

I always have.
