(both sigh)

(chuckles)

Well, you're all smiles this morning.

It's not every day a girl's fantasy comes true.

Sleeping with a rock star is just as great as I imagined.

I'm not a rock star.

Cute, talented and modest.

You know what?

Can I have your autograph?

(chuckles)

Would you settle for great tickets

to Cirque du Soleil tomorrow?

Just say, "Be my valentine," and I can die happy.

(alarm clock beeping)

(gasps)

(pop song playing over radio)

Check this out.

Hey, that's your song.

Did you know they were gonna play it?

No, I didn't have a clue.

Do you know how hard it is

to get a song in rotation on this station?

Rotation? Does that mean they're gonna play it a lot?

I hope so. All the time.

♪ All I see is forever... ♪ Wow.

Well, I guess it wasn't much

of a fantasy after all.

Mm.

(song continues indistinctly in background)

You're not upset about this are you?

What, about the Donna connection?

No, no, not at all.

I mean this is, this is what we both want, right?

David, I'm telling you-- I couldn't be happier.

♪ It's not the end, it is forever, yeah... ♪

(song playing over radio)

Oh, my God, it's his song.

Yeah, so you said.

No, no, wait-- listen, it's on the radio!

Not anymore.

Noah, God.

(song resumes)

(chuckles)

♪ Lost any chance of resistance... ♪

Go ahead.

I know it's what you want.

Shh-shh.

Oh...

Excuse me, you know

it's not every day that one of my best friends

has a song on the radio.

I'm happy for him.

No, you're not. But you should be.

The guy's got a place to live, a job, someone in his life.

For the first time since

I've met him, he's finally on his own.

Hopefully, so are we.

Tell him I said congratulations, okay?

DEEJAY: That was "Keep it Together" by Jasper's Law,

a hot new single climbing the charts.

Now let's get back to some more music.

(phone rings)

(grunts) Hello?

Hello?

(dial tone)

(keypad beeping)

Who is it?

Your muse.

Hello? Hello?

Hi. Star 69?

Yeah, afraid so.

Hey, I just heard the song. Congratulations.

Thanks. Look, um...

can I call you back?

Yeah, sure.

Listen, I hope I didn't make things more difficult.

Not possible.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Bye.

Your phlebitis is under control, Mrs. Hazelton.

There's no need to come back unless it flares up.

Thank you. You're such a comfort.

(chuckles)

Have I told you about my Sarah?

Labor lawyer, great cook,

delicately reconstructed nose.

555-7921.

I won't say another word.

But I happen to know she's home tonight.

Hmm, aren't we the eligible one?

It's part of the Hippocratic oath.

First, do no harm. Second, get set up.

Third, come with me

to my stepbrother's housewarming party tonight.

Sarah's gonna be crushed.

(chuckles)

Brandon, too.

He hasn't called in days.

I think he's moved on.

And you're okay with that?

I mean, with

tomorrow being Valentine's Day.

Which I'm looking forward to spending with you.

Good.

So you are okay with it?

Yeah, I am.

Well, issue is in.

Great.

Here you go.

Tempted to call?

Oh, yeah.

Wow, looks really good.

"The Rise and Rise of David Silver."

"Valentine Dos and Don'ts."

What section would I find renting a movie and moping in?

You don't have a date?!

Hey, it's not like some crime's been committed here.

Oh, so I take it you're alone, too, huh?

For your information,

Valentine's Day is completely artificial.

Chocolates,

pink hearts... Guh!

STEVE: What about that Cupid thing?

Bows, arrows, diapers!

Diapers. I don't get it.

If you need a day

to tell someone how you're feeling,

you're obviously not feeling very much.

That's right.

Ah, so this is a protest thing.

Exactly.

Exactly. And if

either of you two were in a relationship?

We'd be saying the opposite.

Mm-hmm. It used to be so easy.

In college, if you'd break up with a girl,

you'd throw a frat party.

The talent pool,

it was so deep,

you didn't have to labor.

Now I actually have to talk to a woman.

The horror. You know what?

I know I'm gonna regret this,

but I know someone that you guys would really like.

Some... one?

Mm-hmm. Someone great.

Scissors, rock, paper?

Read 'em and weep, baby.

Two out of three? So, what's her name?

Sorry, bar's closed.

Yeah, I'm looking for Noah Hunter.

Uh, he should be here any minute.

Are you a friend?

No, I'm his brother.

Really?

Well, he's never mentioned a brother.

Yeah, well, that's because one of us is the black sheep.

Trouble is, we can never agree on which one.

My name's Josh.

Valerie. Hi.

The bar's closed.

Yeah, so I've been told.

He says, um,

he's your brother.

I don't have a brother.

Noah... No, no, see, I did, once.

He was a little bit older than I was.

Everything the guy did, I wanted to do.

Everywhere the guy went, I wanted to go.

I looked up to him.

And he wanted nothing to do with you.

So what happened?

As far as I'm concerned, he died.

Here's where I'll be staying,

in case you change your mind.

You can't just let him walk away.

Watch me.

And so we give this token to our formerly homeless,

formerly unsuccessful, future superstar.

A framed copy of the first in a series of articles

on your upward mobility.

It's true.

(applause)

Whoo!

This is really, uh, embarrassing.

(chuckles)

Um, thank you.

I-I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you guys.

And, uh, if I ever do become a big superstar,

I'm sure I'll forget you all.

(all laugh)

Thanks.

Thanks. Congratulations, man.

STEVE: Forget all of us, huh?

(laughter)

Huh. That was nice.

Yeah. I'm really happy for him.

The guy deserves everything he gets.

So do you.

Hey, Brandon.

Jeff, glad you could make it.

Excuse me.

Still okay about tomorrow night?

So what do you think, boys?

How many issues are we gonna do on this?

Uh-huh, yeah.

Even if I included a hotel room on the itinerary?

If it's, if it's too much...

No, it's not.

You sure? Yeah, actually,

I'm looking forward to it.

Good.

You want to talk about it?

Got a couple years?

My father killed himself.

My mother blamed me.

I can name that dysfunction in two notes.

We're half brothers.

Different fathers?

Different mothers.

So your mom is wife number two?

She and my father had an affair, and...

so he left Josh's mom for mine.

We lived in the same house.

And resented you from day one.

As soon as my trust fund kicked in,

he was the first one to contest it.

Said I wasn't a real Hunter.

Considering what a brat he is, I take it as a compliment.

So he hurt you.

But he's still your brother.

That's why it hurts.

You know, my dad was a nightmare.

I hated him until the day he died.

But the next day...

a little part of me wished I hadn't.

Val, I can't reach out to him.

That's too bad.

Because sooner or later, you'll wish you had.

Hey, still looking for a date for tomorrow night?

Well, that depends.

Why?

Model.

Okay, I'm looking.

Mm, I met her at a photo shoot.

Just broke up with her boyfriend.

Beautiful and vulnerable.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, okay.

Okay, thanks, Donna.

All right. (chuckles)

I'm sorry I hung up on you this morning.

It wasn't that you hung up, it was that you called.

I called to congratulate a friend.

And I knew you'd read more into it, so...

Did Noah read more into it, too?

You know what, Val, forget it.

If you can't see what a good thing you have with David,

I can't help you.

Come a long way.

Yeah, I have.

Val says I should worry about you and Donna.

Really?

That's a nice thing to say.

Anything to it?

No.

I'd like to believe that.

(chuckles)

Given you no reason not to.

You seem good.

Thanks.

You know that proverbial light at the end of the tunnel?

I think I've finally seen it.

Good.

How's work?

Great, great.

Put the Valentine's issue out--

dos and don'ts, ten best places to take your girlfriend.

You know, the usual.

So where's Jeff taking you?

Oh, it's a surprise.

I don't know. You?

Blind date.

Which means I'll be home in time for SportsCenter.

Speaking of which, it's, uh, it's midnight.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Same to you.

JEFF: Hey.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Thanks.

Got my message, huh?

Where you headed, the airport?

Yeah, I have to get back for a dinner meeting

about our merger with Phipps Oil.

Real hostile takeover, huh?

(chuckles)

Hardly.

I'm engaged to the chairman's daughter.

You and Suzie Phipps?

Bound for the altar.

Congratulations.

Suzie's in Paris right now amassing the trousseau.

(chuckles)

Women still do that, huh?

Tradition's got us in a grip.

Like a vice.

So, anyway,

I am out here hunting for a best man.

And right now, you're the best I know.

Look, Josh, I'm flattered, but I can't do it.

If I go back, before you know it,

I'll be strapped behind a desk, wearing a silk tie.

I'd be dead from the neck down, you know?

Hey.

You are not trapped. Oh, yeah.

Right down to the seating at the bridal table.

Josh, if you don't want to marry her...

Do what, Noah?

Call it off?

Huh? Create a scandal?

Why not?

Because I'm not like you.

I mean, the way you turned your back on the family,

the way you ran away... (scoffs)

You know, I reach out to you and you call me a jerk.

No, you don't get it.

I'm the one that's the jerk here.

Everything that I hated you for...

...it's everything I want to be.

Well...

Hey, Josh...

Why don't you hang out awhile?

We can do some catching up.

Yeah, I'd like that.

All right, come on.

So you're sure Noah's gonna like the stereo?

Yeah, of course.

I put one of my singles in the player.

Can't miss.

You didn't.

(laughs): Of course I did.

(laughs)

Look, I know they're delivering it to the marina.

You want me to come help you set it up or anything?

What, and chance him walking in on us?

Doing what, Donna?

Nothing.

I know, just, trust me, it's not worth explaining.

(sighs)

Does he know you're with me today?

I told him I had to stop by the office.

But you know, I just want

his Valentine's present to be a surprise.

Nah, you don't have to explain it to me.

I know you're innocent. (chuckles)

Hey, let me buy you a cappuccino.

Let me hide you behind this pole, please.

Just... DONNA: What?

DAVID: Quiet.

Donna, trust me, okay?

Who is it?

It's Valerie.

So it is.

(clears throat) I'm sorry,

did we just hide from your girlfriend?

Yeah, I know. Like you said,

it's a lot easier than having to explain, okay?

It shouldn't have to be like this.

Yeah, well, we both know how insecure Valerie is.

And Noah.

Hi.

Hey.

I, uh, brought you some of your stuff.

What is this?

A couple of CDs, an old phone book

and, uh, some of those hair things.

Oh, thanks.

Guess you won't be needing those for awhile.

No, but maybe someday.

Thanks.

Nice flowers.

Yours?

They're from a grateful patient.

Jeff doesn't buy you flowers?

Brandon.

Okay.

Don't answer that.

So you came all this way

to give me some scrunchies?

Yeah.

And to tell you that, um,

it was nice seeing you last night.

I felt the same way.

Well, I guess, uh,

guess you got a lot of work to do.

Yeah.

Yeah...

You know, it's... it's a funny thing,

that light at the end of the tunnel.

You feel like you're getting to it,

but you never do.

You looked like you were on your way last night.

It's just hard, you know.

You play games with yourself.

What if I wait it out?

What if I can make her understand?

What if...

...she loves me?

See you around.

DONNA: Want me to drop you at home?

Val's probably back at the After Dark.

She shouldn't have been there this afternoon.

I still-- I don't understand what she was doing shopping.

She was probably buying a dress.

That's horrible.

I'm supposed to be picking her up in one hour

for dinner and Cirque de Soleil.

Hmm, that sounds nice.

Yeah, except for the fact that I just lied to her

about what I've been doing all afternoon.

I was thinking that this was their problem--

and it is, but we're the ones causing it.

How? By being friends?

Well, no matter how right we are, it still hurts them.

(sighs)

I don't know, maybe we should just lay low for awhile.

You know, try and keep the peace.

(tires screech, Donna gasps)

(car horn blares)

You okay?

(sighs)

No.

No.

Mm-mm.

(indistinct chatter, radio communication)

You should let us take you to an ER.

Thanks, but I-I just want to get going.

Okay.

I strongly recommend you have

your back checked out by a doctor.

If it doesn't go away, I'll call my dad.

He's a doctor.

Uh, is the other driver okay?

Shaken up, not hurt.

Donna, hey.

Um, I notified the insurance company,

filed the police report,

and I left a message on Val's machine.

You told her what happened?

No, I just said it was a long story.

Well, I guess... we're officially busted.

Circus started 20 minutes ago.

Sure you don't want a ride to the hospital?

The longer you wait, the worse you may feel.

No, I, uh, I appreciate your help, but I'm fine, thanks.

Okay.

Can we go?

Yeah.

Thanks a lot for everything.

PARAMEDIC: Sure.

(dance music playing)

Alone on Valentine's Day?

(chuckles)

Worse. Stood up.

Ooh, I'm sorry.

You mind?

No, not at all.

Look, I'm really glad you and Noah

are working things out.

Yeah, so am I.

And I get the feeling

that I have you to thank for it.

(chuckles)

No sign of David yet, huh?

Or Donna. Isn't that a surprise?

I don't know where he is,

but she's in her office working on a project.

Is she really?

Oh, look at that.

Val, hey, uh, look, I'm really sorry.

So am I. We can explain.

"We"? So that means you two were together?

Yeah, we were in an accident.

Oh, how convenient.

Believe it or not, David was helping me

find your Valentine's Day present.

(scoffs) I don't know what to believe.

I do, and it's not that.

You're making a bigger deal out of this than it is.

Well, that's your excuse for everything lately, isn't it?

I hurt my back, by the way. Thanks for asking.

(recorded): Hi, it's Kelly. Leave a message.

Bye. (beep)

Hey, it's me.

I just thought, you know, you're going out tonight,

I'm going out tonight-- it's too bad...

Never mind.

(beep)

STEVE: You did what?!

Hey, she came in this afternoon,

said she had no date.

I knew you were looking for one, so I set you up.

Yeah, you and everyone else.

You have a date already?

She's waiting for me next-door, Nat!

Excuse me. Hi.

I'm looking for Brandon Walsh.

And you would be...? Stephanie.

Yes. Hi.

Hi. Um, Janet's friend.

(giggles)

I'm Steve.

Hi.

Brandon asked me to tell you he's running a little late.

Hm. Mind if I hang with you till he shows?

Mm, well, actually, I-I...

Thanks.

(sheepish laugh)

In less than a month, you have dealt with...

battered women, paroled murderers

and teenagers with sexually transmitted diseases.

Not to mention Mrs. Hazelton.

(both laugh)

The many Mrs. Hazeltons.

Have you ever called any of their daughters back? No.

You are a snob.

Oh, it's not that, it's just...

it's just that so much of who I am is where I work.

And it's hard to share that with someone who isn't there.

What about with someone who is?

I feel like I can share anything.

Like the fact that I've been offered this job in San Francisco.

You're moving?

Not if you want me to stay.

(recorded): Hi. It's Kelly.

Leave a message. Bye. (beep)

Thing is, you've met someone and moved on,

and that... (sighs)

sucks.

So he's a doctor.

It's one of the only things he has going for him.

Well, that and the fact that he has you.

Well, I hope you're having a good time.

I just... I wish you were having it with me.

But I know I've made too much of a mess for that to happen.

(beep)

All right, this is the last call, I swear.

♪ There's something about the way you are ♪

♪ Something that I can't explain... ♪

I think a drink'll numb the pain.

(laughed): It certainly numbed mine.

My, uh, my dad just called in a prescription,

so I'm gonna go pick it up.

Oh, you're gonna pick it up?

You sure you don't mean you and David?

Look, I-I shouldn't have lied to you about today,

but nothing happened, okay?

And last week?

You know, you guys spent so much time together after,

(snapping fingers) what, uh, Grandma...

True Love said.

You're drunk. Tell me it didn't mean anything, go ahead.

All that meant-to-be stuff, that didn't mess up your mind?

No, it didn't. (laughs)

I'll tell you what, I want you to try that again,

one more time, okay?

This time, tell the truth.

Go ahead.

Why don't you just get out of here.

God, it was a kiss-- it didn't mean anything.

Just go.

Whew. (clears threat)

The song's not over yet.

I know. Uh, asthma.

(gasps): Oh, no. My father had the worst case of asthma.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

Look, you know what, let me go get something to drink

and I'll bring it back for the both of us, okay?

I'll be right back.

Hi. (yells)

I'm Jenny. Hi. I'm a dead man.

Hey, I thought you were going to get us some drinks?

I was. I-I am. I...

Hey, I thought since you're tired, I'd go get the drinks.

Who are you?

I was about to ask you the same question.

Oh, look, it's David Silver!

Who's he? The guy

from Jasper's Law! I love that song!

Yeah.

Leaving together's probably just gonna make things worse.

Donna, Noah won't talk to you; Val won't talk to me.

What are we supposed to do, huh?

You know what, I don't even think you should be

driving right now-- we need to get to the pharmacy.

David, can we get your autograph?

What's your name?

Kiss me, quick.

Mmm!

Now walk me to the door? Okay.

Does that greasy-looking guy, over there by the bar,

does he look disappointed?

(chuckles): Yeah, he does.

I am never letting my cousin fix me up again.

Ah. Thank you.

You are a prince.

Hey. Hey, wait!

Who are you?

(recorded): Hi. It's Kelly. Leave a message. Bye.

(beep)

Look...

instead of trying to clean up this mess,

(sighs) I think we should both just walk away.

Obviously, that's what you've done.

(sighs)

Now I'm gonna do the same.

Good-bye, Kelly.

(beep)

Well, I'm sure you're just

reading way more into it than you should.

Do you want to clue Sherlock in, or should I?

Go with God.

Okay, the thing about it is, is that David and Donna

kind of have this, I don't know, connection.

But right now, David and I should be at this

romantic little cafe sipping cappuccinos.

Val, you're a great girl.

I mean, you're attractive, you're smart.

If this guy doesn't see that, forget him.

I don't know, I'm the one who usually lies, not him.

Yeah, well, in my experience,

everyone lies.

The only difference is, some people get caught.

I really trusted him.

What do you say we have a drink, huh?

Okay.

To trust.

To trust.

Oh, geez, I'm sorry. Whoops.

No, no, no, don't worry about it.

That was... making a mess.

(clears throat)

(chuckles quietly)

Okay, got it all.

Okay, sorry. All right, where were we?

Drinking to trust. Right.

May I never do it again, huh? (clears throat)

Mm.

Ooh! Oh!

They're daisies.

Yeah.

(sighs)

I can't.

What, I do something wrong?

No.

No, it's not you.

It's me.

Look, if we're moving too fast, I could slow it down.

No. No.

Everything's perfect.

(chuckles)

Well, then...?

(sighs)

Is it Brandon?

I'm sorry.

He cheated on you once, he's gonna do it again.

You're a really nice guy, but...

...I'm in love with someone else.

Mm... mm! I love the smell of smandles.

(chuckles): What?

Candles. They smell so... they smell so good.

Yeah.

Yeah...

Mm-hmm!

Mm-hmm.

Mmm.

It's 2:00 a.m.-- you know where your boyfriend is?

Mm-mm.

(groans)

Look! It's 2:01.

You know where my girlfriend is?

Listen, why don't you lay off the booze, huh, bro?

Maybe you should, uh,

go upstairs, you know, lie down for a while.

(tired sigh): Upstairs, that-that sounds

kind of... kind of good.

I-I'm not feeling so hot.

I'll tell you where they are.

You know where they are?

Together, that's where.

What?

Exactly.

(phone ringing)

Yeah. Josh Hunter.

Hi. How you doing, sweetie?

How's Paris?

Oh, Miss Suzi Paris is on the phone.

Let's give him some time.

Mm-hmm...

(whispers): Sweetie.

Hi.

Hi. Uh, yeah.

Okay.

(slurred, shouting): See ya later!

Noah, Noah, don't!

Uh, yeah, no, I'm-I'm right here.

(chuckles)

(exhales, chuckles)

Are you okay?

Mm, yeah.

Did anybody ever tell you

you look really, really beautiful tonight?

Thank you.

This never happened.

What? Oh, my gosh.

You say one word, that will be it for you and David, too.

Look, it was a mistake.

We were both wasted.

Wait... wait...

I think I'm going to be sick.

You had a lot to drink, huh?

No, I just... I just had one.

How did... How did we...

Look, I don't know.

I got to find Donna.

You going to be okay?

Hey, uh, Brandon and Steve said Val didn't come home last night.

Yeah. She got drunk. She crashed here.

End of story.

You know where Donna is?

Yeah, I dropped her off at home last night.

I tried getting her to a doctor, but she was too upset.

All right.

Val's not feeling too good.

Thanks.

Hi.

Um, look...

I'm sorry, all right?

I... I shouldn't have been with Donna last night.

I really should have come back here for you.

Oh, that's right. You were with Donna.

How much did you drink last night?

David, I was really upset.

I know. I'm sorry. I...

Hey, Val, you're freezing.

I feel really sick.

David, I've... I've never felt like this.

Okay, okay. Come on, what do you say we go to the doctor?

All right? Come on.

Here, grab on to me. There we go. There we go.

Come on, let's go.

Careful, easy.

How many messages did you leave, exactly?

How long were you entertaining Holly, Stephanie, and Jenny?

Oh, no, no, no. I'm disappointed in you.

Oh, no my friend, I'm disappointed in you.

You let three beautiful women get away.

For one mystery woman who ran away.

One kiss.

It was a total slam dunk. She was...

Ooh, so right.

And I don't even know her name.

I haven't heard from Kelly.

You've fallen for some woman you'll never see again.

Cupid, that chubby cherubic chump...

(laughing)

...has turned his back on us, my friend.

(police siren whoops)

Oh, no. What did I do now?

You better pull over.

Did you remember to tack

the giant "loser" sign on the back of the car?

Take it wherever we go.

Officer, my beeper just went off

and I'm an organ donor recipient.

I got to get to the hospital.

License and registration.

It's you?

You're the girl from last night.

This... This is...

Uh, I was, um...

So, how you doing?

I can't believe this. This is...

This is the part where you're supposed

to give him a ticket.

Or not. You ran a stop sign.

That's a very serious violation.

You could surprise someone. Or worse.

I'll let you off with a warning this time.

Hey a warning's great, that's great.

Does your badge number come on that?

(chuckling)

What was that you were saying about Cupid?

That he was big-boned.

His aim? Hit or miss.

Go easy on the little guy.

Okay, how's the nausea?

It's a little better.

Good.

You weren't drinking?

Um, no, I had one drink.

One drink?

Do you think, do you think maybe it's food poisoning?

And you said you blacked out last night?

Yeah. Scary.

What's the matter with me?

Let me ask you something, Valerie.

I know this is personal,

but did you have sexual intercourse last night?

What does that have to do with anything?

There's a drug on the streets called Rohypnol--

sometimes known as roofies--

but it's more commonly known as the date rape drug.

Rape?

Do you remember consenting to sexual intercourse last night?

No.

Do you remember having sex?

No, but...

But I did. I mean, I...

I woke up naked and...

Oh, God, I feel really disgusting.

Well, from everything you're telling me,

it sounds as if you were drugged.

We can test your blood for Rohypnol,

and we can also do a gynecological rape kit.

Um... rape kit? What-what's that?

I'm sorry-- it just means that while we're doing the exam,

we're taking forensic evidence.

It's best to be thorough... should you decide to prosecute.

Wait a minute, I'm not so sure. I mean...

I know I had sex last night and...

But Noah would never...

I know this guy.

That's why they call it the date rape drug.

Valerie, do you need a minute?

No... No, let's just get it over with.

(knocking at door)

Just a sec.

Hi.

Hi.

Did you come to throw your answering machine at me,

or did you just toss it out the window?

No, no. I listened to it, though.

Not all of it.

Pretty much every word.

It wasn't that bad.

Except for the part at the end.

Where you said goodbye.

Did you mean that?

Yeah.

Okay.

Do I have a choice?

I mean,

if something's changed, you got to tell me.

I cannot understand how you could

sleep with someone you didn't love.

It will never happen again. Nothing like...

I believe you.

Why?

Because I love you.

How long have you been here?

I came here first thing.

Good thing, too 'cause the guy delivered the stereo.

Where have you been?

I went by your place first.

Look, Donna, about last night--

I really messed up.

No, you-you were angry.

I was drinking.

And I...

I should have told you that I'd be with David.

I guess I lied.

But it didn't really

feel like lying, because I thought I was protecting you.

(sighs)

But you have nothing to be jealous of.

I have no right to feel anything after last night...

You were angry about the kiss. I know, I know.

I'm sorry.

I just didn't know how to tell you.

But it was a kiss goodbye.

And I was hoping that we could just put it behind us.

I'd like that.

(footsteps approaching)

Well, I see Valentine's Day isn't over yet.

I could do another lap.

No, come in, come in.

How's your back? Are you feeling any better?

Actually, no.

I, you know, I took two pain pills,

but it's still kind of throbbing.

Anything I can do to help?

Yeah, how about that sail?

We never got the chance to do it last night.

You're on. Great.

Um, I'll be... I'll be right back. Excuse me.

Last time I saw you, you and Valerie were a little...

Messed up.

I know.

Yeah. So, what happened?

Look, I made the biggest mistake of my life, okay?

If she finds out about it, I don't know what...

She won't. Not from me.

Sure your back's okay?

Yeah. Feeling better already.

Well, listen, I'm gonna take off.

You two have a good sail, okay?

You're dead, man!

Whoa, whoa!

Back off, man! David, what are you doing?!

Why don't you ask your boyfriend?

Don't do this right now, Val.

Is that what I said to you last night?

Is it? What are you talking about?

Is that what I said to you...

before you raped me?
