- [CELLPHONE RINGS] - Hey, Phil.

PHIL: Jay, where are you? What are you doing?

- I'm just walking into my house. - Stop! Don't you take another step!

What the hell are you talking about?

Claire just told me your Valentine's plans for Gloria.

You're walking into a buzz saw!

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Get in.

- [ENGINE TURNS OFF] - [SIGHS]

What am I looking at here?

- Nothing. - Oh, it's a role-playing thing

we do on Valentine's. It bumps the lovemaking up a notch.

- Phil, why? - Gloria is mad at you.

If you walk in there with some lame gift,

she will bite your head right off, mister.

Well, you worried for nothing. I bought her a nice cookie,

and the biggest Mylar balloon they sold at the grocery store.

Wake up, man! You're losing her!

- When did you talk to Gloria? - This afternoon.

I'm just taking Claire up to the overlook on Mulholland

for a little old-school make-out sesh.

Oh, Phil.

You're so good at Valentine things...

unlike some ungrateful, selfish men

- that don't appreciate women! - [GLASS SHATTERS]

You need to step it up tonight.

How?

By dressing up in costumes like weirdos?

It's not weird, Dad. It's fun.

Yeah. Tonight, we get to be 17 again,

when we were just a couple of innocent,

- wide-eyed virgins. - [CHUCKLES]

[HUSHED] Shut up.

I'm not doing it.

Today, when Gloria found out what we were doing, she said,

[AS GLORIA] "Damn it, Phil. You are so good at Valentine's.

I wish Jay was as sexy as you."

She never said that.

[NORMAL VOICE] I'm paraphrasing.

[NORMAL VOICE] Okay, call Gloria,

tell her to meet you at a hotel bar,

and then you show up as some romantic character.

- Who would I be? - Anybody.

Think of the most exotic person you can.

General Eisenhower, the father of the American freeway.

You're gonna want to think a little sexier than that.

You have not seen the right photos.

What are you doing? I thought he was taking you out to dinner.

I'm pre-eating so I don't look like a pig.

Oh, please tell me you don't eat on dates.

Who's the lucky guy?

Oh, this professor from Alex's college.

Normally, I wouldn't go out with a guy like that,

but there's something about him.

"Something about him"? He's a genius.

He's one of the most respected minds on campus,

who also happens to look like the protagonist

from a Jane Austen novel.

He's totally out of your league.

Oh, well, now you're being crazy.

Are you into him or something?

No! I'm just genuinely concerned

you're going to embarrass yourself or me.

At least look up the difference between astrology and astronomy.

Okay, alls I know is,

is that you're being a real Capricorn right now.

The sun revolves around the Earth, and not you.

I cannot believe we got into this restaurant.

I know. Oh, you know what?

Let's take a picture and use Facebook the way it was intended.

Oh, to find out how racist our high-school friends are?

No, to make people in our lives feel worse about their lives.

Your table's being set up right now.

Okay.

Can we have a... Can we have a different table?

- I'm sorry, not tonight. - Um...

If you guys don't want it, I have 10 other people who do.

Okay. You know what?

Tonight was supposed to be a romantic night.

- [SIGHS] - I-I don't want to watch him

make his sweaty moves on his conquest of the week.

And some of them buy it. Under what gas leak is

he finding these brain-dead bimbos?

And have you heard how mean he's gotten?

The other day, he called us "catty."

- He called us catty? - Yeah.

You sure he wasn't talking about the dead cat on his head

- he calls a haircut? - [WHEEZING] Oh, my...

Hey, guys!

- Hi! - Hey, Luke! What a coincidence.

I think it's nice that we're helping out

Dad and Gloria tonight.

I know. I'm just a little bummed

that we're stuck here, watching Joe,

when we could be messing around in a Trans Am.

Or... did we just take it up a notch, huh?

I'm the foxy babysitter. The kid's asleep.

You are the foxy bad boy

who sneaks over with some wine coolers...

Oh, radical.

Now that I'm six, I like girls,

but I love two girls...

The Little Mermaid and Claire.

[JOE CLEARS THROAT]

Oh. Joe. W-What are you doing up?

Hello, Claire. I made this for you.

Oh, my goodness.

Look, it's a Valentine.

It's two love bugs.

Aww.

Two love bugs.

Three's a crowd.

Well, let's just say,

I'm just a lady that works in the evening.

But I am not available to any man.

So charm me, Mr. Matadore.

This hotel...

has the finest closets in all the land.

We have lighted rods and soft-close doors.

I was once married to a man

- with this gal. - Mm-hmm.

- Get back out there, go to a bar! - Yes!

I hear that.

- A guy like you, great head of hair... - Yep.

Nah, I'm too depressed.

Besides, I prepaid for my meal. I guess I'll order.

Just forget I'm here.

Anyway... happy Valentine's Day.

- Thanks. - You look so handsome.

Ugh! This sucks.

I can't believe I let you talk me into doing this crap.

- I need help! - PHIL: It's okay.

Underneath it all, it's just you and your wife.

That's the problem.

I don't know how I got her to begin with.

And I'm starting to feel if I can't pull this off,

she's gonna figure out she got duped the first time.

Let me start by saying "thank you" for being so vulnerable with me.

I hate you.

Also, I'm no expert at this,

but I have a friend here who is.

[AS CLIVE] Clive Bixby here. How can I make your night sexier?

If I can't role-play with her, I'm not doin' it with you.

Whatevs, Daddio.

I'm gonna give the phone back to Philip.

[NORMAL VOICE] Phil here. Listen.

It's all about commitment and confidence.

What's... What's your character?

Raoul Matadore, hotel owner, like Andy Garcia...

In "Ocean's Eleven"... I love this for you!

Did you go with the timepiece?

Yeah, I thought at some moment, I'd pull it out,

smash it on the bar, and say,

"I want to remember the exact moment I fell in love."

- I'm an idiot! - No.

That silence is me picking my jaw up off the floor.

We're all walking, and you're flying, mister.

Seriously? You think so?

1,000%! But don't take it from me.

[AS CLIVE] Clive again.

Mr. Matadore, I tip my turtleneck to ya.

Hello?

ARVIN: All right, no peeking.

- HALEY: Oh, no peeking. - [LAUGHS]

I hope you're not disappointed.

[GASPS] Wow! It's so pretty!

You know what else is pretty?

Oh! Stop.

- [LAUGHS] - Oh.

Well, I was going to say "Venus."

But sure, let's go with you.

[CHUCKLING] Come on, have a look.

Ooh!

Nope.

- Oh! Okay. [LAUGHS] - Yep.

Wow!

Yeah, there's a new moon, so it's the perfect night

to observe faint star clusters.

- [LAUGHS] - And... And right in the middle,

there's a variable star that I discovered.

[SIGHS] It's right next to a white dwarf.

[GASPS] Oh, I don't think you're allowed

to say that anymore.

Yes, tricky times we live in.

Wow, this is so cool.

Right. Have a... Have a think about this...

There is a theory that suggests the universe is so large

that everything that can happen is happening all the time.

Do you smoke weed?

Oh. [LAUGHS] No.

Sor... Sorry, I'm a little obsessed with space.

I-I built my first Dobsonian telescope when I was 10.

You made a telescope?

The only thing I've ever made was an ashtray for my mom

that says, "Rub your butt here."

[LAUGHS] Oh, like cigarette butt.

Yeah.

What are you doing next August 27th

at, uh, 8:00 p.m.?

I have no idea. Why?

NASA is giving me an award for a radiation shield,

- and... - NASA's giving you an award?

I need a date. There's no pressure.

But it saved the lives of a bunch of astronauts.

Wow, you've done a lot.

Well, I'm... I'm sure you've had your share of accomplishments.

Oh, yeah! Yeah, of course.

[STAMMERS] Let's see. There was, um...

college...

Uh-huh.

Nope. Nope. That is a...

That is a bad road.

Well, uh, uh, okay, so professionally,

I've been kind of sort of dabbling in, like,

a lot of different... Pass.

Um... I-I-I-I once flew next to the bass player of The Killers.

Uh, you know, it just kind of looked like him.

Is there a bathroom? Here, I'm just gonna find it myself.

No big deal. I'm fine. I'm... I'm great. I...

So, are you seeing anybody new?

No, I didn't even make my mom a Valentine's card this year.

It's alarming that I asked about dating,

Alex, it's Professor Fennerman.

I'm sorry to bother you on Valentine's.

Uh, it's okay. Uh...

Have you heard from Haley?

- Isn't she with you? - She was...

and then she suddenly ran off.

I think... I think I may have bored her

to the point of fleeing.

You could never bore anyone.

You know who's boring? Professor Schaeffer.

Agreed. He's insufferable.

He never stops droning on.

He's like the cosmic microwave background radiation.

[LAUGHS]

Because he's the constant noise you can't get rid of!

Thank God somebody gets me tonight.

[SNORTS]

You know, I think it might have been a bad idea,

bringing her to the observatory.

I probably should have set my sights on someone

with whom I have more in common.

Do you know what I mean?

I... think I do?

Anyway, I think I'll wait here a little longer,

take in the stars, just in case she shows up.

Maybe she will.

Thanks, Alex.

[CELLPHONE BEEPS]

Oh, my God.

- What? - Haley blew him off.

I think he wants me to come to the observatory to be with him.

You have feelings for this guy?

Who wouldn't?!

I mean, do you know how hard it is

to find a good-looking genius?

There's him, and when I put in a little effort, me!

Then go.

I will.

Yeah, you will, a-and I'm gonna make a Valentine for my mom.

They're not the same!

Okay, open... open mine first.

- Oh. - It's... It's a kimono.

- I took an online origami class. - Okay.

"Friend, lover, husband.

My life started when we met.

You're my everything."

Ooh, let's see what you wrote in yours.

Aww. It's a tandem bicycle.

- Yeah. - It's so cute.

"Happy V-Day. Love, M."

No, no, stop it. You have great hair.

Luke feels the same way.

I mean, this is a guy who is ready for commitment.

Okay. Well, you know what? Good luck, honey.

- Bye, then. Yeah, take care. - Okay.

You see, we have the same address and the same last name.

I was just pretending to be a prostitute

because my husband has a thing for Jane Fonda in "Klute."

The body was crazy, unfortunately, so were the politics.

Well, I guess you didn't do anything wrong by hotel rules,

but based on my personal belief system...

We're not looking for any input. Thank you.

I can't believe I took romantic advice from Phil,

a grown man I've seen in lederhosen at least three times.

Phil told you to do the role play?

Yeah, he said you were mad this morning

because I always drop the ball on days like this.

I wasn't mad at you. I was mad at Joe

because he didn't make me a Valentine.

So your 6-year-old kid

doesn't give you a card, you get so mad,

you throw a tire iron through the windshield.

It's got to be deeper than that.

Manny, for the first time ever,

didn't make me a Valentine's, either.

That's not deeper.

That's just doubling down on the same disturbing thing.

Disturbing?

When Manny was 5 years old,

he told me that he would forever be my Valentine's.

Promises were made. I will not be ignored!

Okay, yeah. That sounded weird.

But the point is that I know

that you're not good at romantic things,

- and I'm fine with it. - Don't let me off the hook.

If I did more, you wouldn't depend on your kids for those things.

And if I learned anything

from trying to pick you up tonight,

it's how lucky I was to get you in the first place.

I've got to do better.

could get any sexier than Raoul Matadore.

I fell in love with you all over again.
