What are you doing? Hi, Gwendolyn. I'm
going down to the basement to hunt for

spiders. Why?

You wouldn't understand. It's a guy
thing.

Gotta jam.

Wait. Did you know this Sunday's
Valentine's Day?

So?

So I was wondering...

Would you like to be my valentine?

Why?

You wouldn't understand.

It's a girl thing.

wants me to think that she's gone.

an evening, kid.

Everybody likes you.

Then how come I can't get that delicious
stew to notice me?

Well, don't you worry, Gwendolyn. I will
get you and Richie together.

You see, I'm an expert when it comes to
a lot more.

minx absolutely adores me.

But she disguises her undying love for
me with what appears to be total

repulsion. It's a classic case of
denial.

This day and age to read any good news
on the newspaper page. And love and

tradition of the grand design.

Some people say it's even harder to
find.

Well, then there must be some magic clue
inside these gentle walls.

Because all I see is a tower of dreams.

What a miserable evening.

Calm down, Harriet.

You're overreacting. I am not. I don't
ever want to go to that restaurant

Well, that's just as well, because
you'll probably never be allowed to go

in that restaurant again.

What? Oh, nothing. Never mind.

Oh, no, no, no, no. Don't nothing. Never
mind me, Carl. If you have something to

say, just spit it out.

were a little abrasive tonight.

Abrasive? I was not abrasive.

Well, yeah. Maybe abrasive is the wrong
word.

Maybe a better word is loud.

Loud!

Like that.

And you got louder every time you made
the maitre d' move us to another table.

Carl, our first table was right next to
the entrance where everybody... waiting

to be seated. I do not like 30 people
hanging over my shoulder saying, hey,

senora, can you eat a little faster?

I understand that.

So they picked up all our stuff and
moved us.

Yeah, right next to the bathrooms.

Ordinarily, I'd like a table next to the
water.

But not when it's swirling around a
porcelain tank.

understand that. So they picked up all
our stuff and moved us again.

And deliberately sat us next to a cigar
smoker.

You know, you were rude to that guy,
Harriet.

I simply put out a cigar.

In his soup.

Did I embarrass you, Carl? Is that the
problem?

Yes, Harriet.

To be quite frank, I was embarrassed.

And so were all the other customers.

No, they were.

It's to another restaurant.

Carl, I am not a weak, wimpy woman
that's afraid to speak her mind. When

unhappy about something, I say so. And
it would be nice if you would support me

sometimes instead of hiding behind your
napkin worrying about what other people

think. I do not care what other people
think. You most certainly do. I do not.

And keep your voice down. The neighbors
might hear.

You mean this table, or would you like
to move to another table?

Hi, guys.

I'm going shopping. I'll see you later.

Oh, would you like me to come along?

Oh, no.

You know how I act in public.

I wouldn't want to embarrass you.

Oh, you're right.

You might get us banned.

the market, too.

Uh, do I sense some marital discord?

Might I suggest a romantic dinner for
two at a cozy little restaurant?

I know a wonderful little place where
they give you doggy bags in the shape of

swans.

I walk here, use my hanky.

You know how Chantel is.

First, she wiggled past him.

And then she said...

too much of each other.

under your nose.

What?

Well, sure, baby.

In a few hours, you just may say to
yourself, hey, Steve is looking kind of

hunky.

Only a desperate loser would pursue a
woman on the

rebound.

That lovely.

and get a chocolate surprise.

Surprise!

Sweets for my sweets.

At least taste the nutty one in the
middle.

No pe -

Will you be my Valentine?

Steve, every year you ask me to be your
Valentine.

And every year I turn you down.

What made you think this year would be
different?

Oh, I don't know.

I just thought that since you and Ted
broke up, well, you might be feeling

of lonely.

And since I'm always lonely, well, I
thought that maybe we could be each

Valentine.

And for a short while, a few bittersweet
hours,

We could help guide each other through
the rocky shoals of human heartache.

Oh, Steve, that's beautiful.

Thanks. Carmen saved that to Miss Piggy
in The Muppets Go Hawaiian.

Listen, I might agree to be your
valentine.

But only on one condition.

On what thing?

There can't be any lip contact.

negotiator and i take it or leave it
i'll take it happy valentine's day steve

happy valentine's day

Richie, why, you cut quite a dashing
figure.

Why do I have to wear my dress up close?
I haven't worn this stuff since Uncle

Louie bought the farm.

I didn't know your Uncle Louie died.

Good evening, Mr. Crawford, and welcome
to Shea Winslow.

Eddie? Yes, I'm Edward, and I'll be
serving you this evening.

What's going on?

Would you like something to drink while
you wait for your dinner companion?

My what?

Let me see if I have one available.

Ah, table one.

You look very pretty tonight, Gwendolyn.

Watch some cartoons.

Whatever you say, dear.

Mrs. Winslow?

Yes, Mr. Winslow?

Would you accept a dozen roses?

As an apology for the reprehensible
behavior of your foolish husband?

Nope.

Oh.

Well, how about if I throw in a two
-pound box of chocolates?

Now you're talking.

Honey, you know, I just hate it when we
fight.

Me too.

You know what I realized a few moments
ago?

That you couldn't sneak a piece of this
candy without breaking the seal?

Besides that.

No, I realize that I was angry at you
for being stubborn and pushy at the

restaurant. And I was angry at you for
being wimpy and indecisive.

I know.

But, you know, I guess another word for
stubborn is strong -willed.

And another word for pushy is assertive.

Sweetheart, one of the main reasons why
I fell in love with you is...

Because you're a strong and assertive
woman.

I guess other words for wimpy and
indecisive could be tolerant and

understanding.

Those are the things that I've always
loved about you.

Do you remember when we bought this
house?

You were so strong and assertive that
the seller came down ten grand just to

you off his back.

You know, Carl, maybe the qualities that
we admire about each other are also the

qualities that annoy us.

I mean, depending on the circumstance.

You're right.

But you know, no matter how angry I get
at you, sweetheart, I will always love

you from the very bottom of my heart.

I love you too, Carl.

Hey, Mrs. Winslow.

Will you be my valentine?

I'll take that as a yes.
