All language subtitles for The Middle s04e15 Valentines Day IV.eng

(Crows cawing)

(Frankie) There are all
kinds of Valentine's gifts.

Some are better than
others, but the best ones

come straight from the heart.

Oh, my gosh. Brick!

I love it.

So... pretty.

I know I'm supposed to
wait till Valentine's Day,

but I just couldn't. I think
it's some of my best work.

And I think you'd be right.

Oh, thank you so much, Brick.

Oh. I am gonna cherish this forever.

(Clatter)

(TV playing indistinctly) Hey, dad,
I know you're probably wondering

what I'm doing for Valentine's Day.

I don't exactly have a date,

and that could really bum me out,

'cause last year was so great

- 'cause I had Matt and everything.
- Your mom's in the kitchen.

She told me you guys were in here.

Anyway, the school is having a dance,

and I signed up to be
on the cleanup committee.

I may not be in love,

but I can still clean
up for people in love.

Oh, my God. Nobody goes to that lame dance.

You're just mad because your
girlfriend is out of town.

She's at a wedding...
something you'll never be in.

I suggest buying a wacky hat

and starting your cat collection now.

That's not even an insult. I love cats.

So, dad, are you doing anything
for mom for Valentine's Day?

Anything romantic?

Ah, we're not those kind of people.

But you have to do something,

even if it's just writing her a note

or sending a cute text telling
her how much you love her.

Well, I'm doing something.
I'm taking the Christmas tree

out to the curb without being asked.

(School bell rings) This is it?

I thought you said Boss Co.
would be in the black by now.

Is black the good one or the bad one?

Look, we really ate it,

trying to get that
possum out of the garage.

Between Darrin's stitches
and the rabies shots,

we got hosed.

I can still see those
pink eyes coming at me.

That's it, dudes. We're broke.

And we can't lay anybody
off, 'cause we're all bosses.

How can we be so powerful and
powerless at the same time?

I can't believe you're breaking up with me

- right before Valentine's Day.
- I'm sorry!

Really, I don't know what else to say.

Well, thanks a lot. Now I
don't have a date to the dance.

I hate you! (Cries)

(All) Whoa.

(Snaps fingers)

Wait a sec. There's a lot of guys

wanting to get out of relationships

before Valentine's Day, right?

That way, they can avoid
spending all that money

and taking things to the next level.

- Go on.
- I will.

Breaking up in person's horrible,

and the text dump can be forwarded,

land you on the douche
list, so what if we did it?

Did what?

What if guys paid us to break
up with the girls for them? Huh?

Boss Co. breakup service.

(Both laughing)

Okay. Explain it to me one more time.

Mother? Why is this in the trash?

Oh! Thank God you found it!

I have been looking everywhere for that.

Uh-huh. You are a lousy liar.

(Sighs) Okay. Here's the thing.

You guys bring home a lot of stuff,

and that's great, but
I can't keep everything,

and truthfully, this is not your best work.

And yet you keep this picture Axl drew

of two butts orbing in the earth.

(Sighs) Are the butrronauts
still up there? (Clatter)

(Sighs)

Look, Brick, I didn't throw
everything of yours away.

I saved the important stuff.

Oh. Where is it?

Put away in boxes.

Can I see it? The years
have gone by so fast,

I'd like to reminisce.

(Whispers) Reminisce.

That's fine.

But you know, all the
current magazines are saying

we should live in the present, so...

Find it.

(Sue screaming)

I've got a date to the dance!

Oh! I'm not gonna be a loser after all.

Oh, my God. I'm so relieved.
I can barely breathe.

So what happened?

Well, I just got off the phone with Matt.

Turns out he broke up with Sheri.

I knew it wouldn't last.
And he realized he missed me

and loved me and couldn't live without me.

And he asked if he could
have the honor of taking me

to the Valentine's dance!

(Screaming)

Oh, honey. That's so great.

I'm gonna ride my bike over to Carly's

and tell her all about it. Aah!

(Door opens)

(Door closes) (Gasps) Guess what, dad?

I'm going to the dance after all!

Romantic, huh?

Oh, and I see the tree's still up.

Just sayin'.

Aah!

So you are... Amanda, right? (Pen clicks)

And you date Connor?

Now this may seem abrupt... (Pen clicks)

but now that you're both
seniors and going to college,

he feels it's a natural time
to start seeing other people.

- What?
- He's very much enjoyed your time together,

but I'm afraid that time
has... come to an end.

And he would've been here himself,

but he thought this was for the best.

I can't believe he's
doing this. What a jerk!

Don't despair.

You're a beautiful young lady
with lots of love ahead of you.

Any guy would be lucky to have you.

Just not Connor.

(Rustles)

(Dog barking in distance)

"I know I never say it, but
you're very special to me."

(Beep)

(Cell phone buzzes)

"You're special to me, too." Jim?

(Door closes)

Ah, Jim, uh... hey,
listen, about that text...

Yeah. I was kinda wanting
to talk to you about it, too.

Uh, no. We don't have to do that.

See, uh, in fact, that text was...

The nicest thing anybody's ever done.

I'll just say it.

You're the best boss I've ever had, Mike.

Uh, all right, then. Thanks.

I've been... kinda going
through a rough patch lately,

and you telling me I'm special
is just the boost I needed.

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

I never told anyone this.

But I've always had a hard time fitting in.

When you're a kid, all you
wanna do is belong, you know?

Sure.

See, I started going bald
when I was in grade school.

You ever see a 180-pound
12-year-old with a comb-over?

(Exhales) It feels good just to say it.

(Exhales deeply)

I heard about your guys' service,

and I wanna dump my girlfriend,

but I don't wanna hurt her feelings.

You've come to the right place, Evan.

(Bell rings) What am I signing?

Ah, it's a standard release form

saying we're not liable
if anything goes wrong.

And that if your ex is hot,
we, the members of Boss Co.,

reserve the right to ask her out

after the appropriate 7-day waiting period.

Correction... 3-day waiting period.

Sorry, Rachel, but Spencer
feels you two have grown apart.

(Crying) It's never gonna work.

(Sobbing)

We're sorry, Miss Poltorak,
but Mr. Whiteman thinks

you guys are looking for different things.

You're too good for him anyway.

Really?

Definitely.

Now could you go online
and take a brief survey

saying you were broken up with
in a kind and courteous manner?

Oh, and if you could take a moment

to "like" us on Facebook,
that would also be great.

So Brick's stuff was missing,

and knowing Brick, he
wasn't gonna let it go.

I learned my lesson.

Next time I throw away
any more art projects,

I'm using the dumpster
behind the mini-mart.

Anyway, I was desperate,
and I knew what I had to do.

Hey, Nancy.

Oh, hi, Frankie. Wanna
come in for a cinnamon bun

and watch Dr. Oz?

Oh, no, thanks.

Listen, this is kind of embarrassing,

but I can't find any of
Brick's old art projects.

I'm pretty sure Mike threw them all out.

Men do the craziest things, huh?

Tell me about it. Remember Ron's perm?

Ooh. Anyway, I was
wondering if I could borrow

one of your kids' old projects
and pass it off as Brick's.

Absolutely. Believe me, I get it.

Three kids... no way you
can keep up with everything.

(Click)

(Whirring)

(Gasps)

(Singsongy) Hey, lookie what I found.

(Normal voice) Brick's
centerpiece from Thanksgiving.

There's no way in hell Brick made that.

(Sighs) Damn it, and this
was the worst one, too.

(Sighs) I can't believe I
threw away all my son's stuff.

Seriously, what kind of a mother am I?

According to Brick's school,
not actively involved.

Well, they're right, Mike.

I'm a terrible, terrible mother.

Uh... what were the
buttronauts doing in the trash?

Do you not understand what
the buttronauts represent?

They represent butts in space.

Show a little respect.

(Whistle blows in distance)

I'm a good guy, Mike.

I bust my hump around here.

Yeah. You work hard.

When why didn't I get

a sweet, heartfelt text
from you like Jim did?

Oh, no. Look, Dave, that was...

I thought we were more than co-workers.

I thought we were friends.

I mean, we watch games together.

Your family's been to my church.

I even fixed the hole in your kid's wall.

Okay, fine. You are...

really valuable around here.

Not feeling it.

You're special to me, too.

All right.

There it is.

Now bring it in for a hug. Come on.

Okay.

All right.

With Valentine's Day only two days away,

the Boss Co. breakup service was booming.

And nobody knew who was gonna be next.

(Man) * I can't take you to heaven

- We got a runner!
- Now let's be grown-up about this.

It'll all be over soon.

(Panting)

Aren't you tired of running, Emma?

I'm sorry, but you plus Kyle
no longer equals forever.

(Crying)

So, Brick, listen,

I've looked all over, but I
can't seem to find your stuff,

so I'm just gonna be honest with you.

I think your dad threw it out.

Okay, look, I'm sorry.

I really am. I don't know.

Maybe it's 'cause you're the third kid,

or our house isn't big enough,

or I'm just a sucky parent,
but I don't have your stuff.

You don't have Axl or Sue's stuff either?

We're talking about you now.

But the point is, stuff doesn't matter.

What's important is the feeling
I had when you gave it to me.

I'll never lose that.

I see. So it's all gone.

Nothing of mine made an
impression. Interesting.

Because I distinctly remember
a ceramic sponge caddy

that said "I hate housework."

I'm sorry. Do you like housework?

Because I think that would
be something you would keep.

(Chair scrapes floor)

(Door opens)

I'm just gonna say it.

I've been working here
longer than Jim or Dave.

If anybody should get a
nice text, it should be me.

What about me? You know, I
gave my hearing to this place!

(Men speaking at once)

He gets a text. I don't get a text.

(Men continue speaking at once)

Hey, hey. The text
wasn't even meant for Jim.

Okay? It was supposed to go to my wife

for Valentine's Day.

Wait a minute. That's what
you texted your wife for v-day?

(Chuckles) She's your lady.

You gotta tell her you love her, man.

I'm with Chuck. It sounds
like you have intimacy issues.

You do throw up walls, Mike.

You should talk to somebody.
Our insurance covers half.

Hey, nobody's throwing up any walls.

And for your information,
I didn't just send a text.

I also took the Christmas
tree down to the curb

without being asked.

Hey, don't be afraid, man.

Tonight, when you're on
your futon with your lady,

- you just lay...
- No, no!

That's it. Everybody back to work.

Let's go. Thanks for your interest.

Oh! (Laughs)

(Sniffs) Man, I love America.

Now that I'm rich, I guess
I should finally start

thinking about giving back.

You know, maybe talk to
some loser kid at school

or plant a bush in a park

with a giant plaque with my name on it.

(Laughs) Whoo!

Hey. What's wrong with you, dude?

That breakup with Kelly McCarthy was awful.

Totally blindsided her.
She cried her contacts out,

and then I heard she failed a calculus test

'cause she couldn't see.

She might not get into college.

I need a man's opinion.

For the dance tonight, should
I wear my hair up or down?

Over your face. You can weave it
into your braces so it'll stay.

Up.

Thanks. Mom says my forehead
is one of my best features,

so...

Look, Sean, it's just
a business, all right?

These girls are gonna
get broken up with anyway.

If we didn't do it, somebody else would've.

This way, we build a successful company,

sell it to the Chinese,
buy some recording time,

cut a hit album, rock the planet,

then start a men's fragrance line.

Yeah, but at what cost?

I agree with Sean.

All this money is covered in tears.

(Telephone ringing) Phone!

- (Sue) So get it!
- No, you get it!

I'm getting ready! I'm
in a business meeting!

- But you're closer!
- So?!

- So get it!
- No, you get it!

(Answering machine beeps)

Uh, hi, Sue. This is Matt.

Listen, Sue, I can't take you to the dance

'cause Sheri and I got back together.

So... hope you're good.

Again, not taking you to the dance.

Sorry. (Beep)

(Answering machine clicks) Wow.

He can't cancel day of.

I mean, yeah, Sue's a dork,
but he knew that going in.

This Matt guy sucks.

Dude, you gotta tell her.

Well, I can't tell her. She's my sister.

What if she... cries or something?

I can't comfort her. I think it's illegal.

Well, don't look at me. I'm spent.

I don't have another breakup in me.

Fine. I'll do it.

What's one more girl who doesn't like me?

(Knock on door)

Uh... hey, Sue.

Hey, Darrin.

Thanks for the hair recommendation.

It does look better up.

So...

what do you think?

You look really nice.

Thank you.

So... listen... about that phone call...

I don't know how else to do
this but to come out with it.

Matt's back together with
Sheri. He's a major jerk,

and he's not coming to Orson
to take you to the dance.

What?

Please don't make me say it again.

But...

Oh.

This is so embarrassing.

Oh. I bragged to everyone about
going to the dance with Matt.

I'm really sorry, Sue.

And I still have to go because
I'm on the cleanup committee,

and I'm gonna have to walk in all alone

and watch everyone having a good time

while I mop up their
spills and cupcake sludge.

It's getting really hard to stay optimistic

about this night!

You don't have to walk in alone.

I can take you.

What?

Thanks, but you don't wanna do that.

I know seniors don't go to
the lame Valentine's dance.

No, I want to.

It'll feel good to do
something nice for a change.

(The Chevin's "Beautiful World" playing)

Oh, this is all so beautiful.
I love mirror balls.

Yeah, it does look nice.

Hey, come on.

Let's dance.

(Sue) Yeah. Okay.

* Such a beautiful world

* can't we all live as one in peace? *

* oh

* it's such a beautiful world

(laughs)

* Can't we all live as one in peace? *

*

* oh

* it's such a beautiful world

* and if you want it,
you just have to believe *

(Tv playing indistinctly)

Man, I never thought about
how we were hurting people.

Ugh. What have we done?

We're love hitmen.

We made money off other people's pain.

Oh, man! I wish we had a time machine

so we could go back and undo everything.

And it would be super cool
just to have a time machine.

Super cool.

(Sighs)

(Snaps fingers) Hang on a sec.

What's the opposite of
breaking things apart?

Well, the opposite of fission is fusion.

Everybody knows that.

Okay. So... what if we
practice some of that fusion

and got one couple together tonight?

Right. Get some isotopes together

and wait for a reaction.

(Chuckles) Uh... yeah.

(Laughs)

We're going out to find a couple

and get them together to
undo all the evil we've done!

(Frankie) Okay! Bring back milk!

So Axl and Sean tried to
get a couple together...

a journey which led them to the one place

seniors never go... the Valentine's dance.

Hey, Paige, you look really nice tonight.

So, listen, uh, here's the thing.

You and Wade seemed really good together,

so maybe if you guys just talked, uh...

Beat it, jerkwads. Haven't you done enough?

Ignore them, Paige.

No, no, we're not like that
anymore. We wanna help now.

Ha. Sure, you do. 'Cause
if you get us back together,

then you can break us up
again and make even more money.

Normally that would be very
sound business practice,

but I promise you that's
not what we're trying to do.

We just wanna undo all we
did and make you guys happy.

You wanna make me happy? Let
me punch your stupid face!

You know, there are chaperones here.

(Girls speaking at once)

We gotta get outta here. Look
at all the rings Becky's wearing.

So... (Chuckles) let's...
whoo! Look out. (Mutters)

Run! Get 'em!

(Girls shouting indistinctly)

(Water running in faucet)

(Clears throat)

Happy Valentine's Day.

Oh! Thank you. Oh, they're beautiful.

And happy Valentine's Day back. Mwah.

Well, I stuck to our usual plan

and didn't get you anything.

Mm, well, the guys at the quarry

had some weirdly strong opinions
about what I should do for you

for Valentine's Day.

Aw, well, tell them thanks from me.

(Water resumes running)

I know I don't say it enough, but...

You know...

Uh-huh. I do.

So... you talk to the
guys at work about me.

(Chuckles) Sometimes.

You know, you don't have
to stay and help clean up.

You've done enough.

It's okay.

I'm having a good time.

Oh, yeah!

Nothing but net!

(Laughs)

(Sue gasps)

Sorry!

(Both laughing)

(Sighs)

I still can't believe Matt ditched me.

Forget about Matt. He's a loser.

Well, on the bright side,

this is the second time he's dumped me,

so I'll probably get over him faster.

(Paper rustles)

Hey, listen. I know you're a senior,

and you guys don't usually
come to the Valentine's dance,

but I really appreciate you coming with me.

It was really nice of you.

Truth is...

(Clatters)

I didn't do it to be nice.

Dear Brick, I wanted to take a minute,

on this day devoted to
love, to let you know

that even though I may not be able to find

any of your art projects,
you are always in my heart.

I'm sorry I'm the kind of
mom who's tired all the time,

and I know I'm not the most
organized person in the world.

Maybe I'm lazy. I don't know.

But here's the thing.
This is the mom you got.

I'm not perfect. I'm
flawed... pretty darn flawed.

But I hope you'll read
this and always remember

that on Valentine's Day 2013,

your mom wanted you to
know how much she loves you.

Happy Valentine's Day, sweetie.

All my love forever. Mom.
