Sometimes here.

Sometimes.

Sometimes.

Thank you, mister. No, thanks.

Ladies and gentlemen.

That's what you think, kid.

Truck loses brakes. Driver and passenger killed.

What's he get the wife for Valentine's? Nothing yet.

Glenn, Valentine's Day is tomorrow.

What? Who is that guy? He's right.

I got no brakes.

Who's the handbrake? The handbrake.

He saved our lives. We had no breaks.

I got a delivery.

St. John's Hospital, emergency.

Taxi!

At St. John's Hospital, fast.

You got it.

I got sunshine on a cloudy day.

Hey, baby.

What are you stopping for? No reason, other than that red light.

Get out of here.

Here.

That ain't your lunch?

Uh -uh.

Buckle up.

You a square positive?

No, no, no. I run a bar.

McGiffey, you might have heard of it. Gary Hobson, not either.

Is this the sideline or something?

No, no.

Would you watch where you're going? You just hold on to the heart, Hobson. And

leave the driving. Damn it, Brown.

Go, let's go. Get the door. I got it. Go. Here.

Go ahead.

All right.

Dr. Pietro!

Here's your heart.

What? For the transplant.

Transplant? I'm an orthopedist.

Well, look, all I know is there's a heart in there. It's addressed to you,

suggest you better do something with it right now.

That's so sweet.

His name's Gary Hobson.

He gets tomorrow's newspaper today.

He doesn't know how.

He doesn't know why.

He only knows when the early edition hits his front door.

He has 24 hours to set things right.

We risked our lives for Valentine?

I could have been killed. My cab could have been dented. Relax, would you?

Surprise?

Steven. Who's that?

You are so romantic, Dr. Burroughs.

Thank you, Judy.

So, what do you say?

I don't know what to say. I know. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, but my

the medical supply house is a day off, so it was now or never.

You could have mailed it.

And you are?

I am the guy who risked his life, almost got killed trying to deliver your

stupid valentine. The delivery van, it broke down, so we delivered it for you.

Oh.

So, what do you say?

Stephen, I... You're overwhelmed. I understand.

Well, I didn't expect it. Say no more. Look, I'm late. So why don't you keep

ring, and I'll put it on your finger tomorrow night at dinner.

Say, uh, six o 'clock, Cape Cod room?

Congratulations, Dr. Pietro.

Thank you, Jimmy.

Are you really going to marry that guy?

Uh,

it even can be a little hard to take sometimes. Hard to take?

Well, he's the top orthopedic surgeon in Chicago, and he treats all the star

athletes, so sometimes that can go to his head, but he's a great guy.

Mm -hmm.

No, he is, really.

Goes to his head.

I'd like this to go to his head. Anybody here park a camp in a no -stopping

zone?

Excuse me.

Wait, that's my cab. You can't tow my cab.

We're saving lives here, officer.

Yeah, yeah. So tell him, Hopson. Miller paralyzed pitching ink struck by falling

camera.

Yo, Hobson! Tell the nice officer why we had to park here. I gotta go.

Wait, wait!

You can't run off on me now!

After all we've been through, I thought we were safe!

Have a nice day.

I'm standing here with several hundred Cub faithful to Chicago Hilton hoping to

catch a glimpse of pitcher Andy Miller, who is due here any minute.

Wow, you see this? Sammy Stoltz says I can make the Cubs champ.

Doing Kerry Wood in the same rotation?

Are you kidding?

Be the biggest thing since Koufax and Drysdale.

Too bad they'll never see it.

We're not interested in Chicago?

Andy, come on.

Yeah, but Sammy says that we're... You can make anyone a competitor, kid.

Not the issue. The issue is... Commas and zeros, of which there are far more

New York than there are in Chicago.

Right. Chicago just gets the drumbeat going, that's all.

It just seems a shame to get all those fans' hopes up when they don't have a

chance to sign to me. What am I always telling you?

You just take care of your fastball.

Let me take care of the hardball, all right?

Well, actually, I've just received word that Andy has arrived here at the hotel.

He was due here any minute. In fact, here he is now.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Very nice of you. Excuse me.

What do you think you're doing?

I need to get through. Yeah, you and everyone else.

Very good.

Sam.

Andy Miller is perfectly fine, thank you. Which is more than I could say for

morning. I've got this camera here.

Come on.

Hold it. I've got to think this guy. You write him a letter. I've got to find

him. I thought you said he was okay.

You reporters don't twist anything, huh?

Come on. You said you worked on Roger Clemens. I think he lives in Chicago.

Yeah, Burroughs. That's him.

Hey, you know him? Well, kind of. Yeah, well, you can show us from the limo. Oh,

no, I can't do that. No, you're coming with us. No, I can't.

Take John's hospital.

Jackals. If that camera had hit you... Hey, hey, don't do that. Just... I'm

okay.

Andy Miller.

Gary Hobson. How do you do? Thanks a lot.

You have to learn what you're throwing on.

My agent, Elliot Rosenfield.

His bark's worse than his bite.

I don't believe him.

So you really plan on coming to Chicago?

Well, I got to tell you, the fans will go nuts.

There's no better place to play ball than Wrigley Field. I love Wrigley. I

pitched for one hitter here last year. I was at that game. Yeah?

Cubs fans gave me a standing ovation.

Elliot?

Cubs fans.

Cubs fans, best in the world.

Cubs fans will pay to see anyone in a Cubs uniform. That's why you haven't won

pennant in 50 years.

We call that loyalty.

I call that ridiculous.

The way I see it, if you take the heart out of baseball, there's no sense

playing because it's just none of the business.

That's the way I feel.

Yeah?

Thank God it's not the way I feel. You'd still be playing for Peanuts and

Palooka though.

Hey.

Is that your injured shoulder?

It was.

We should probably go take a look at it.

Mr. Miller suffered several minor contusions to the deltoid region, but

the full extent of the damage.

The only serious question is whether he'll be playing in a Cubs uniform next

season. Andy, Andy, how's the shoulder?

Andy, is the shoulder 100 %? First off, I would like to thank Gary Hobson, owner

of McGinty's Pub, for helping me out this morning.

That's McGinty's on Illinois Street.

I'd also like to thank Dr.

Burroughs and especially Dr.

Pietro for her...

expertise. What about the Cubs, Andy?

Well, you guys have always known I've loved playing in this town, and since

arriving this morning, I can tell you that I have better feelings about

here. Thank you so much, folks. Thank you.

Do you believe all the publicity?

Your fiancé can be all over the news tonight.

Dr. Burroughs, can we talk to you for a second?

Great work.

You just strengthened our hand with the meth more than you know.

Even had me believing we're serious about the cops. I bet they're adding a

more zeros in New York as we speak. That

was

the scene this morning when Andy Miller narrowly escaped serious injury.

Miller had just arrived in town for talks with the Cubs when a video camera

from a balcony in the Chicago Hilton Hotel.

Miller could have been seriously injured had it not been for the heads -up

tackle made by local Chicago resident Gary Thompson, owner of the Yeti's Pub.

Hello.

Good morning.

Excuse me, I've got some work in the kitchen.

Okay. What?

Ever since I told Erica about the paper, she acts like she avoids me.

Well, take it easy, partner. I mean, tomorrow is Valentine's Day and romance

in the air. I mean, you did ask her out on a date, didn't you? Oh, yeah, sort

of. Sort of?

Well, I told her I couldn't make definite plans, so I have to lift the

Mr.

Romantic. Excuse me.

Hey, Mr. Hopson. Oh, that was awesome this morning.

Oh, thanks. Listen, listen.

You can tell me, is Andy going to join the Cubs?

Cubs are coming out awfully strong.

Well, if you're willing to go to an eight -year contract, then I could...

this is not the... Those are not the numbers that I... Yeah.

Yeah, all right, I'll see you tomorrow. We can scream at each other in person.

Is that all right with you?

New York's balking on eight years, but I am not giving up, Andy.

Eight years, what?

They gave it to Piazza, they could give it to you.

Well, the Cubs won't offer me a long -term contract?

Three years max.

And the money?

Forget Chicago, kid. Put it out of your mind.

You know, my shoulder's been feeling a little stiff.

Maybe we should stay another day, have it checked out again.

Can't do it. Matt's sending a company jet for us tonight, and we...

Let him sweat, right?

Let him think we had a breakthrough in Chicago.

Andy, you are brilliant. You are.

You say things sometimes. It just comes out of your mouth. You don't even know

what you're saying.

You're a genius.

What are we doing? We're staying.

What is that?

A karaoke machine.

A what?

Oh, Miss Clark said that was okay.

See?

Your host, Patrick Quint.

That's me.

Did I know about this?

I told you, but you probably weren't listening.

I'm kind of busy. Can I talk to you for a minute?

About tomorrow, Valentine's Day. I thought we could make plans, definite

Well, don't you have to check tomorrow's newspaper?

Well, that's just the point. If we have to wait for the paper, we'll never make

plans. So what do you say tomorrow afternoon about 2 o 'clock? What if

comes up? I'll work around it. How?

I'm sorry, Gary.

I'm really busy right now. We can talk later.

So, how about a drink?

Uh, Stephen, I have to say, I have a lot on my mind right now.

Say no more. Ratings take a lot of planning.

Um, Stephen, I... Shh!

We'll talk about all our plans tomorrow night.

Right now, I'm meeting the guys at the bar. I'm gonna catch my press conference

and all the newscasts.

Hope they got my good side.

Make sure in the house, everyone.

Enjoy.

This is a disaster. You've got to do something.

Me? Yes.

You have a good voice.

No, I'm not going over there.

Patrick,

we need Diane not to mention our customers.

Please.

I'll ask him what tapes he has, but, Erica, I am not promising anything.

Hey,

Erica. I've got customers.

Is there something wrong between us? Wrong? No, I wouldn't say there's

wrong. It's just the guy I'm interested in happens to get tomorrow's newspaper

today. Hey, shut it. Take it down. What, Gary? Who's going to believe me?

I mean, I happen to know it's true, and I don't even believe me. Well, you're

upset. Upset? No, freaked out is more like it. I'm just trying to do my job,

raise my kid, and carry on a relationship when I just discovered that

is made of green tea.

See, you admit, though, that we're having a relationship.

Gary, I'm not joking. Look, I know it takes a little getting used to. That

doesn't mean you have to avoid me. You know what I think?

I think you're a little afraid of getting involved in another

what you're doing is using the paper for an excuse. Oh. Gary, can I talk to you

for a minute?

Not anymore.

Go ahead.

You better sign these cards.

What can I do you for, Andy?

Do you believe in love at first sight?

Do I what?

You know that friend of yours, Dr.

Pietro? Well, we're not really friends. You think a guy like me stands a chance

with a girl like her?

I mean, she's a doctor and all, and I'm just a ball player.

What do you think of that?

Well, I think that... Aha!

Don't admit me.

You owe me $186 .32 for that toe, mister. I'm delivering a human heart.

Excuse us. Do you want to talk about this outside? Is that Andy Miller? Yeah,

but he needs a little bit of privacy right now. Andy Miller, you're going to

sign with the Cubs.

Andy. Yeah.

I'm really sorry.

Sorry? You ought to be sorry. How much do I owe you?

$186 .32.

$186? Yes.

I had to pay ransom to get that cab back.

Are you lucky I don't charge you?

It will be forever.

Here.

Gary.

Hobson.

Fine. Here you go.

Gary. Gary. Can I talk to you for a minute?

Yeah. I want to talk to you about your friend Andy.

He's not really my friend. I think I might have given him the wrong

today. And I don't want to mislead him or anything.

He's really a terrific guy.

But it's just not going to happen.

And so I want you to tell him for me. If you could just tell him.

I would tell him.

Hi.

Hi.

You're the next.

Yes.

what.

to my head And you linger like

a haunting refrain And I

find you spinning round in my brain

Like a bubble in a glass of champagne

And I find the very mention of you

like a kicker and

a juniper too.

Good morning.

Oh, morning. Oh, those are beautiful.

Who sent them?

You didn't, too?

Nope.

Morning, Mr. Thompson.

Morning. Good morning.

Oh, nice flowers.

Yes, they are, aren't they?

Marissa, you didn't by chance happen to send me flowers with your eyes with my

paper this morning, did you?

With the paper? That's strange.

Nope. Yes, isn't it, though?

Well, they certainly don't smell like roses.

No, they're not.

They're pussy willows and tiger lilies, actually.

Pussy willows and tiger lilies?

What's in a bouquet like that?

You

didn't.

No.

This is crazy.

Why? We hardly know each other.

I feel like I've always known you.

I know, but you haven't. Well, it feels like we've always been together.

Always will be.

It does?

Am I way off base here? Don't you feel it too?

Yeah, I do.

You do?

Yeah.

That's all I needed to hear.

Andy, where are you going?

To call a press conference.

What?

I'm going to hide with the cops.

Andy. What?

You work in Chicago.

I want to be in Chicago.

Well, I know, but Andy, I... I want to get to know you, Susie Pietro.

I want to know you for a long time.

Your agent is not going to go for this. You told me that... Elliot doesn't have

to know.

Not till after.

This is just, it's moving too fast for me. I don't have much time.

Elliot has me on a plane tonight.

Andy, I'm not like you. I've always played things safe.

What's safe?

It's not that simple.

Why not?

Well, because... Because, Andy, there's...

There's just things that I need to tell you because... I'm calling a press

conference at 3 o 'clock this afternoon.

When you see that, you're going to know Andy Miller finishes every game he

starts. And then I'm coming back here, and we're going to celebrate.

Celebrate.

No buts.

No buts.

They're beautiful.

Wow, big bucks.

The thought that counts, Patrick.

Hmm, roses.

Most beautiful you've ever seen.

Oh, Gary, thank you.

Huh? What's that for?

Oh, they're not from you?

Uh, no.

Uh, Miss Padgett, I think you dropped this.

Oh.

Mercer, they're for you. For me?

Happy Valentine's Day.

Damn it.

In flesh.

Thought maybe you and I could have lunch later today or something.

I'd love to.

Really? You would? I would. You would? I would.

The power of karaoke.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

Mm -hmm.

What? Two o 'clock.

What? We have reservations at Luciano's at two o 'clock.

What about the paper?

A couple of things in the morning, but in the afternoon, nothing.

What does it say about Andy Miller?

He's going to sign with the Cubs.

Are you kidding?

Are you kidding?

The paper's never wrong, is it? No, no, no. We're going to sign Andy Miller?

What's that about Andy Miller?

Nothing.

Now listen, I've got to go.

Now, Luciano, two of us at two o 'clock, right?

Yeah, I'll be there.

Good. Two.

Two. Okay, now, does that settle?

What was that about Andy Miller?

Nothing. This is Emmett Brown you're talking to. Number one Cubs fan in the

solar system.

I can't tell you.

Aha, so there is something.

I didn't say that. Come on. In evidence class, we would call this an adoptive

admission. Didn't know I was going to law school at night, did you? Yeah.

Don't try to slip one past Emmett Brown now.

I don't know. Cubs fan to Cubs fan. Fan, you are breaking my heart here.

Truly.

Can you keep a secret?

Where to, Big Spender?

Let's take me to Iron Mike's.

Great place.

Bears could use another coach like old Mike.

Yeah, Bears can use a lot of guys.

Yeah, true.

Sad, but true.

You a Cubs fan?

Why? You know Andy Miller, the pitcher?

What about him?

Can you keep a secret?

Call a press conference without me. You don't talk to the Chicago Cubs without

me. Well, I like Chicago.

Yeah, well, you like money, too, don't you, Andy?

There's more to life than money, Elliot. I know. I've seen Jerry Maguire, you

know, like six times.

All right.

What happened?

I met someone.

What do you mean you met someone?

I met a woman.

You want to throw away your entire career because you met some woman.

Not some woman.

Susie Pietro.

Who is that?

The doctor I saw yesterday.

The doctor that worked on your shoulder?

Yeah. Andy, you have known this woman for ten minutes.

We spent all last night together.

Okay, kid, listen to reason, please, okay? One night of hanky -panky does not

mean that you go and you sign with the Chicago Cubs.

There wasn't any hanky -panky, Elliot.

We spent all night talking.

Talking? Talking.

Okay.

Oh, now I'm really lost.

Well, I'm nuts about her.

And she's nuts about me.

And that's all there's to it.

Okay.

Okay.

Hey, you know what?

That's fine.

I just give it my sense of.

You don't have to take it.

I think you're making a big, big mistake. But hey, if that's what you

It is.

Then that's what we're going to do.

Really? You're the boss.

That's great. Yeah, that's great.

You're going to love these. Yeah, great, great. Just do me a favor. No more

phone calls. You let me take it from here, all right? Okay. You won't call

press conference, will you? Hey, I work for you.

Promise me you stay right here until then.

Hey, I promise. I promise. Good.

Okay? See you then.

Oh, yeah.

Great. Actually, I was looking for your partner, Dr.

Pietro. Uh, you mean my fiancée?

Your fiancée?

Yeah.

Doctor.

You and I are about to do each other a very big favor.

Thank you.

Yeah. I had to stop a woman from pulling up an old platform, so by the time I

got around to the floors... It's beautiful.

Nice.

Listen, there is one thing.

I want you to know that the reason I told you about this is because I got

of making up excuses.

You know, about where I was running around and breaking up the dates.

I wanted to bring us closer together, not push us apart.

So the last thing I want is for this to get between us.

So I'm going to set this right down there, and

I'm not going to touch it until we're through here.

You see, you take the paper out of the equation. I'm just an ordinary guy,

really. Very boring, actually. Nonetheless, just saying.

Listen, there are probably a lot of reasons that you might not want to go

with me.

But I don't want the paper to be one of them.

Okay.

Okay.

Is this certain?

Nope.

How about this?

Full range of mobility, no residual sickness.

Everything's great.

Well, thanks for the house call, Doc. Appreciate it. My pleasure.

Actually, I'm knocking off early today.

Oh, yeah?

Valentine's Day plans?

Yeah, I'm having dinner with my fiancée.

Fiancée. Congratulations.

Hey, who's the lucky girl?

Actually, you've met her.

I did?

Yeah, my partner, Dr. Pietro.

Susie? Joking.

He proposed to her yesterday.

It was so romantic. He gave her the ring and everything.

And she took his ring?

They're so in love.

Everyone's been waiting for it to happen.

I'm sorry, sir.

That's all right.

I'll get a towel.

What's in the paper?

Miller Snapscott.

Well, sometimes the paper changes.

But that's what I can't figure out, because it only changes if I do

didn't do anything. The only thing I did tell you, and then in telling you, that

shouldn't change anything.

Oh, no.

Oh, no what?

Well, if I told

someone that...

Couldn't change anything, would it? Somebody who?

Just Emmett.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming.

I hate to disappoint everyone, but there's been a change of plans today.

Andy won't be here today.

I know there's been speculation linking my client to the Cubs. He even spoke to

them directly early this morning.

But since then, he's had a change of heart.

As much as Andy appreciates the fine quality of the Cub organization, and its

fans, he has decided to look elsewhere.

Jock. That's lousy. It's all about money these days.

Merrick, have you seen Emmett?

Not yet.

Well, what's going on? I'll tell you what's going on. Our friend Emmett knows

something he's not supposed to know.

Emmett! Andy Miller's going to the Mets. Emmett? You told me he was signing with

the Cubs.

The question is, who did you tell?

What difference does it make?

So you did tell someone.

I didn't say that.

In evidence class, that's what we call adoptive admission.

Hello, will someone clue me in here?

Emmett, who did you tell?

Just some guy I picked up at the Hilton, a sports agent.

Elliot!

Hello, anybody?

We're never getting to get to Andy now.

Come on, come on, let's go.

Why, where are we going? We're going to St. John's Hospital. Again? Yes, again.

I just forgot my coat.

We're finishing up the meniscus now, Mr. Albert. Then we'll move on to the ACL.

This is better than the Discovery Channel.

Okay, what you pay for?

Yeah, come in here. Susie, I need to talk to you. Gary? Get out of my OR,

Andy Miller is leaving town.

I know.

Judy, call security.

Wait a second. I know for a fact he was going to sign with the Cubs this

morning. You didn't talk to him this morning, did you? No. Judy! But, Dr.

Burroughs, we saw Andy Miller a couple of hours ago at his hotel room.

What?

Steven?

His agent called, asked me to look at his shoulder.

You didn't say anything else to him, did you?

You told him about your engagement, remember, Dr. Burroughs?

Engagement?

I may have mentioned something about that. Steven, we're not engaged.

How could you do that?

That's why he didn't sign with the Cubs.

What are you talking about? He hardly knows you.

Steven, we have to talk.

What's happening?

Things are heating up.

What do you mean you spent the night with him? We were talking, Steven, just

talking. I've known you for three years. I gave you a ring. I know.

Look, look, you gotta make a decision right now, okay? It's either him or me.

Come on, girl.

What? What?

I'm sorry, Steven.

Get Andy Miller.

Emmett, I hope you're not breaking any laws.

Oh, this is great.

You're going to pull over, aren't you?

See that lady in the back?

Andy Miller's in love with her, but he thinks she's engaged to another guy.

If we don't get her to med, Phil's faking this out. He's going to sign with

meds. You hear me? The meds.

We got to do this, so we got to.

We'll see you tomorrow.

The cave kid.

Eight -year contract.

Sixty...

Million dollars.

Gentlemen, we're ready to board now. Come on, kid.

All units requesting escort to Migs Field. City emergency. Move. Let's go.

I'm sorry.

Look, I should have told you.

Stephen asked me, but I never said yes.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Will you forgive me?

I don't suppose it would make any difference if I told you that the Cubs

even have a private jet plane.

Get out of here. Go ahead.

Go ahead, beat it.

I'm sorry.

I know, I'm sorry.

I love you, Amy.

Is this how it would have come now?

You were right.

Paul.

You were right.

About what?

About using the paper as an excuse to run away.

What paper?

What's going on? Well, it's hard to explain it, but I could demonstrate.

Demonstrate?

Ready? Ready.

Oh, goodness.

Love.

What a lousy idea.

L is for the way you look at me.

O is for the only one I see.

D is very, very extraordinary.

E is even more than anyone that you adore can

love. Is all that I can give to you.

Love is more than just a game for two.
