Happy Valentine's Day.

What's so happy about it? It's all about love and somebody loving you. It's

depressing.

I thought it was 7 .30, but your watch says it's 8 o 'clock.

I am not hating.

But when our man slept with his secret hoochie, he pulled my heart out of my

chest and twisted it into a pretzel, which has been salted by my tears.

Oh, hey, you. Happy Valentine's Day.

I got you these Valentine's Day cards.

Oh, how nice. Thank you.

Oh, it's going to be like old times, the three of us spending Valentine's Day

together. By three of us, you must mean you, Brianna, and a Sandra Bullock

movie.

Because I have a date.

A date?

But I thought we were hanging out on Valentine's Day.

We are, for Valentine's Day.

My date is on Valentine's Night.

So while the sun is out, I'm all yours, Valentine.

I'll wait in the car. We got five minutes until school.

I don't need his pity or his Snoopy Valentine.

I think he's been sweet in his own big -headed way.

Ooh, ooh, I got Franklin the black guy on mine.

You know what? I've had enough of sweet.

That's how they get you.

Sweet guys pull you in, making you think they're never gonna hurt you.

At least for the bad boy, you know what you're gonna get.

What, a high -speed car chase?

Yes, but on the highway of passion.

You know.

Hey, thanks, Platt. I need to get Candy's Valentine's gift.

I hid it here so she wouldn't find it.

Oh, you hid it in her workstation. Oh, she never looked there.

Man, you say that like I'm stupid or something. I didn't hide her gift here.

I hid a note to myself telling me where her gift was hidden in case I forgot.

Which I did.

Man,

what are you doing wearing my girlfriend's Valentine's gift?

I found a note that said, candy in the closet.

So naturally, you went to the closet and opened up the box that said candy.

Naturally. But when I saw there were no confectionary delights, I instead

adorned this delightful frock.

Man, we'll close up your frock because your delights are showing.

Matt, look, you ruined this. I can't give it to Candy because every time she

puts it on, I'll see your face.

Ace, what are you doing here?

I got kicked out, Flex.

My girlfriend Peaches caught me cheating with her sister Cherry.

Oh, what a jam you're in.

You can't stay here, man.

Oh, come on, Flex. Help me out.

I just need a couple of weeks so I can find my own place.

Ace, if you needed a robe, you should have asked me.

I have one hanging up in my spare bedroom.

Three, two, one.

Wait a minute.

You need a place to stay, and I'm broke.

Why don't I find you a place to live and charge you a finder's fee?

Yeah, I can use my spare room as an office.

Allow me to cut through the brain damage.

Why don't you let Ace move in with you, and you two can split the rank?

Huh. All right.

But I still want my finder's fee.

Oh,

great. The awning fell again.

Just something else I'm going to have to get fixed before I sell this place.

Oh, good morning, Flex.

Welcome. Have a seat.

What can I get you? Some kimchi?

Maybe some bibimbap?

Or a breakfast burrito.

We're trying a few new things.

Thank you, but I already had breakfast. I just came by to talk to you about the

awning out front.

Well, they used to be out front.

Oh, it fell down again?

Ah, serves us right for using a company called Good Awning America.

Yeah, maybe that other company, What's Going Awnings, would be better.

I'm calling it an estimate.

You're a good businessman, Flex. I only hope whoever buys your shop is as good a

neighbor as you.

Or is a hot chick?

Hey, Sue, what's that?

Hey, Flex.

Sue!

What do I keep telling you about keeping your hair out of your face? You are not

Lucy Liu.

Yes, Appa.

Ah, now there's my little girl.

My father, he's so old -fashioned.

Even though I'm 25, he still thinks of me as his little girl. Well, happy

thinks of his daughter as a little girl.

Well, you don't see me as a little girl, do you, Flunk?

Well, luckily, I'm not your father.

Are you flirting with me?

Well, that depends.

If you like it, yes.

If you don't, then I'm just stating a fact. I'm really not your father.

Man, I'll be glad when Valentine's Day is over.

Oh, look at them.

Can y 'all take this? Get to the boiler room like a normal couple.

Excuse you.

Oh, my bad.

Here you go.

Rihanna.

Oh, my God. Did you see the way that guy Nightmare looked at you?

connection. Oh, my God. The whole hallway felt it. Everyone's talking

Really?

No.

You grow up to hear yourself talk sometimes. It's really immature.

Dude, I heard you totally let one go in history class. You rock, dude.

What a good nightmare.

Oh, Slim and Shady.

Word is, he's trouble.

And I hear he rides.

Somebody dangerous.

Cover me.

I'm going in.

Hey, Nightmare.

I just want to thank you for picking up my books.

Ain't no thing. They were on the ground, weren't they?

So?

He's so rude.

I think I love him.

Cover me. I'm going back in.

chemistry class and Ms. Newport said we had to pick lab partners, so do you want

to be partners?

For sure, for sure. How about your place tonight?

I'll bring the books and you bring the looks.

For sure, for sure.

Hey, Ewan, I got the estimates for that awning. Let me know what you think.

Oh, no, no, no, no. This time you stay and eat. It's customary to treat a

like family. Okay, and it's customary for me never to turn down free food.

Twice.

Hey, Flex.

What are you doing here alone on Valentine's Day?

Well, why don't you join me? That way I won't be alone.

Okay.

So, tell me, what am I about to eat?

Okay.

This is kimchi, fermented vegetable.

In Korea, they love it so much, they even have a festival for it.

Oh, kind of like our ham hocks parade down Pratt Street.

Now, try this one.

What does that mean?

Excuse me?

Oh, you mean like, say what?

So, how does a date with me compare to your usual dates?

This is a date?

Well, we just enjoyed a lovely meal by candlelight. We spent the last hour

engrossed in stimulating conversation, and we're all alone.

Well,

I've only dated Korean guys, and one Puerto Rican guy who was passing is a

Korean.

All right, so if this was a date with a Korean guy, what would you do next?

I don't know if you're ready for that.

Reunited and it's so good.

Reunited and it understood.

There's one perfect fit and sugar, this one is good.

You get better than you think.

I do everything better than I sing.

Sue! What are you doing?

I'm not talking to you.

Sue, what are you doing? This is Ramon all over again.

I do not approve of this. You know I don't want you with someone like him.

bad for...

When you say you don't want Sue with someone like me, what exactly are you

implying? What do you think? I offer you food and you make a meal out of my

daughter.

Dad, please.

Oh, I get it. I'm not good enough to date your daughter, but I'm good enough

pay for half your awning. Oh, keep the awning.

I'm sorry.

I know it's not your fault, Sue. And you, that awning, it was going to be

retractable.

Isn't this just the perfect Valentine's Day?

Me, you.

The periodic table?

Too bad we got a test on Monday.

I'll be all over you like rust after oxidation.

Is that good?

Girl, with me, it's all good.

I can't believe my lab partner dumped me on Valentine's Day. I might as well

stop shaving altogether.

Can I study with you guys?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. Let's all go to the library.

We can go to this pizza place, right? Because they have really great pizza. I

really like their pizza. It's really good.

Now, back to our chemistry.

Isn't it ironic that we would be studying that subject?

Ironic? Why?

Because we have so much chemistry.

That's a coincidence, not irony.

Huh?

Irony is the characterization or expression of disdainful humor.

Yo. Wait a minute. Hold up. You know stuff.

I thought you were a thug.

Oh, so I can't be smart?

No. You're supposed to be mean and tough.

Oh, so you want me to step to you like, like, come here, shorty. You frontin' on

me? No.

Hey,

man, get off my door. Hit him in the face. Hit him in the face.

Let me go. I didn't do anything.

No, Daddy's Nightmare, my lab partner.

Nightmare? Yeah, but with a Y.

Nightmare?

No, I'm getting plenty. Night, night, nightmare.

Go,

go.

Daddy, how could you?

Let's see, I came in, saw a thug on my daughter, threw him out.

That's pretty simple.

But, Daddy, we were just studying chemistry and playing around.

Well, I didn't see the studying part. It's the playing around that I'm worried

about. But I was just... But nothing.

Now, I'm your father, and I know what's best for you, and it's definitely not

that Mary boy.

You are grounded.

in front of the door. Yeah, no more annoying walks across the room.

Then you move the fridge by the couch.

Thus cutting down on more unnecessary walking.

Therefore, we buy less shoes.

Exactly. So you like it?

No!

Man, this is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Change it all back.

Well, can I keep the microwave by the tub?

Yeah, try it in the tub.

With you in it.

I know you're upset about your little thug friend, Nightlight.

But I just don't want you getting into that whole bad boy syndrome.

Bad isn't better.

For your information, Daddy, he's not a thug. He's smart.

I don't care how smart he is. I'm your father, and I didn't raise you to hang

out with a boy like that.

And what kind of boy is that?

A boy with tattoos?

A boy with an earring?

A teenage father?

He has a kid, too.

No, Daddy.

I was describing you.

Sue, you shouldn't be here.

One second, dog. Come on in.

Where are you going?

I'm furious with my dad. I'm going to find my own place.

Are you sure you want to do that?

I'm tired of him telling me who I can go out with.

If I want, I'll go out with that little crazy guy who lays on the ground and

smells our food from underneath the door.

Dwayne? Yeah, that's him.

Sue, I'm sorry all this happened.

Look, I had a great time with you.

And I'm willing to give up my family for that.

I mean, I know I'm a great kisser, dashing, charming, successful.

But am I worth leaving your family for?

I mean, probably, but you shouldn't.

It's not just you, Flex.

He doesn't get me.

The style of my hair, the length of my skirt, the music I listen to.

I told him I wanted to see Lil' Kim for my birthday.

He flew in my cousin from Korea.

Sue, I just don't want to feel responsible for driving a wedge between

your father.

Come on.

What do you want?

We have no fresh daughter on the menu today.

I came to talk to you, Yoon.

You know, we have more in common than you think.

Oh, you mean we both want to stab you in the heart with a chopstick.

Listen, I know what's in our nature is to want to protect our daughters.

But there comes a time when we have to trust that we've given them the tools to

decide what's best for themselves.

Sue is first -generation flex. To you, it means first -generation American. To

me, it means first -generation in danger of losing its culture. Hey, I can

respect that.

But ask yourself, what's worse?

Our daughters losing their cultures or us losing our daughters?

Sue.

Come back home.

You have to let me live my life.

I'm still going to date Fleck or whomever else I choose.

I just don't want you to forget where you're from.

Abba, I'm proud of who we are.

But I have to be free to make my own choices.

Isn't that why you came to this country?

No, that's why I stayed.

I came for spring break.

You're not so bad, Flex.

Back at you, you.

I'm sorry I treated you so shabbily, Flex.

Yeah, you said, uh, treat your friends like family.

You should hear what some of my cousins call me.

Arnaz, chemistry is not that hard.

Look, A -G is silver.

And just think of a silver necklace.

What do we say to people with silver necklaces?

Hey, G, can't you afford gold?

Cool.

I'm glad you switched lab partners with me.

Mine was so useless.

She thought a test tube was a baby.

Yeah, well, at least you wanted to leave your lab partner. I had no choice.

He wasn't the right guy for you anyway.

I mean, right, lab partner.

Night line, night sweat, night court, whatever your name is.

Mr. Washington, I know you don't want me here, but I just came by to get my

chemistry book.

Look, I know I was a little hard on you earlier, but to a father, you don't make

the best first impression.

I mean, the way you talk, the way your pants sag off your behind, man, pull

up.

And your name, your name doesn't help.

Come on, man, my real name is Clayton, but that don't play in Cherry Hill.

Whatever. But my daughter seems to think you're an okay guy.

So I'm going to go with that.

Until you give me a reason to think otherwise.

Don't give me a reason to think otherwise, Clayton.

Look, there is something I want to say.

Brianna, ever since you and I got together and almost, you know...

I just want to say... Daddy, Nightmare, what's going on?

Nightmare forgot his chemistry book, and I thought you two might want to hang

out a bit.

Really? What's the catch?

I trust you.

Thank you, Daddy.

Um, you know what?

I better go.

Oh, well, what were you going to say?

I was just going to say, happy belated Valentine's Day.

You moved the furniture back.

All right. Thanks, man.

Sure. I just wanted you to be comfortable in your own home.

I know I should.

Love you too, Netta.
