don't leave today.
but it's valentine's day.
i don't know. it technically is only for single people. but since you're gonna be gone i've got nothing else to do. and it's really important to kara. it's a tradition.
a recently divorced, handsome doctor such as yourself doesn't know what it's like to be single. but for us unhitched gals, well, it sucks. it's like some sort of cosmic bitch-slap for singlefolk. the universe saying, "hey you! remember what it felt like when you still had braces and cystic acne and no one wanted to ask you to winter formal? well, nothing's changed!"
i love that place. they have the most beautiful flowers.
harrison? where are you?
i saw you on tv this morning. "love is the most shocking act left on the planet." that should be on a bumper sticker.
thank you - but don't try to deflect. how did it go?
oh, shit.
yay! that's amazing. how much did she love that ring?
i guess. but i feel like if harrison and i ever got engaged or anything, i'd be happy with a cigar band.
yeah. he had to go to san francisco today. i was thinking of surprising him. you know, fly up there and rock his world on the golden gate bridge. too much?
really? so if a girl did that for you, you wouldn't be freaked out?
that's true. i remember in college you made me drive around all night with you looking for the perfect donut. that was spontaneous.
no they're not.
okay. now we're going to put all our valentines into the envelopes we made yesterday.
but before we do that, a little history.
-- well, on february 14th, valentine sent a letter to his true love and signed it, "farewell. from your valentine."
it seems so, edison. but isn't it nice that every year people who believe in love, like he did, send valentines in his honor?
okay. start delivering your valentines. we'll open them after lunch.
sorry i'm late. now, get your valentines and let's open them.
rani? what is it?
bring the valentine up here, please.
now, please.
edison?
did you send this valentine to rani?
madison. kara. come up to the front of the class, please. and bring your valentines with you.
you sent rani this valentine and signed it from edison, didn't you?
when there's that much silence, i know you're thinking up a lie.
madison. take all of your valentines and bring them up here. if you're good you might get them back at the end of the day. kara, i'm afraid this goes for you, too.
it's not nice to play with people's hearts like that.
reed? what are you doing here?
it's from harrison.
yes.
wait. me first. i got a 4:15 flight to san francisco. i'm gonna surprise him.
what's with the face? you were into this idea before.
you did? wow. he must've been on his way to the airport. isn't he great?
you think he's too old for me. but - listen - i've had a lot of bad experiences with guys my age, and even though -
edison. if reed says your roses will be here, then they will. he's very trustworthy.
what? you said you liked spontaneous.
look reed, i get it. you've had six girlfriends since we've known each other - you're always in a relationship. you understand how these things work. my track record - on the other hand - could kindly be referred to as spotty. but this one feels different. so don't worry. i'll be fine. now i gotta get back to class.
have a lovely valentine's day guys.
kara!
i am so sorry. today's been nuts.
actually, unfortunately, i will not. be there. i'm flying up to san francisco to surprise harrison.
are you ok sweetie?
what? that can't be true.
what about dana?
what about elise?
no! rick?
so everyone responded "no"?
well then i'm sure it's fine. you know how bad people are about rsvping.
and it's not like they don't know the drill. we've been doing it for years - anarkali at 8. people will come.
i'm really sorry honey.
reed? what are you doing here?
okay. so.
what?
he was married. he's divorced now.
what does that prove? he could've just been doing it to be nice.
why are you doing this?
what? what does that have to do with anything?
i don't know. i guess - if you love her and she loves you then -
fine. no. not really. don't see it. don't see you two together.
you are unbelievable. you expect me to buy that - that you're trying to help me? you're just doing this because - for once - i have something and you have nothing. and you just can't take it. you want me to feel as bad as you do.
honestly - as a friend - this is a really shitty thing to do to someone.
it's valentine's day and i'm going to meet my boyfriend. now let me go.
excuse me. i'm looking for dr. copeland?
can you tell me where he is?
may i ask you something, woman to woman?
is dr. copeland married? not divorced or separated or living apart. or anything like that. but flat out married to a woman named alexandra that he lives with in malibu?
thank you.
oh my god. oh my god! not now. not now, god!
i don't know. i've never had a baby before.
ooooh! that was a big kick!
what? oh, umm, both. kicks and contractions. but mostly contractions. like bad ones.
yes. i'm alone. again.
oh, no. i don't want to interrupt your romantic meal with your wife. i'll be just fine.
peas and carrots! oh my goodness!
i'm so sorry. i really don't want to interrupt your sexy valentine's day thing here -
man, this little guy just will not let up.
that's ok. i think i know exactly where i stand. goodbye dr. copeland.
to my friend over there.
thank you. and happy valentine's day.
i am so sorry i'm late.
i - it doesn't matter. i'm here now.
look, i just - i really don't wanna talk about it.
anyway - my contribution to the party. molten lava chocolate hearts. normally 100 bucks a pop. but i got a great deal.
hi. i'm julia.
so - kelvin - how do you come to this sad affair?
what the hell?
and i thought you got back together with your old boyfriend.
edison? what are you doing here?
for me?
are you sure?
well, that's amazingly nice edison. i'm not sure why you're doing this,
listen - i'm sure you're pretty serious about this - but you don't really love me. i'm your teacher.
ok. i don't think - you just -
honestly, edison, this is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. sadly, i mean that.
someone who's more - appropriate. someone who can appreciate these more than i can.
ok. what makes rani your friend?
well, sometimes, those things you like about someone as a friend - they're the things that turn them into someone you love.
yep. back at the valentine's day singles dinner. a loser once again. sorry guys.
honestly? because somewhere, deep inside, i did know. i knew that it wasn't right. but i also knew that you were getting married, and that what you and i had, our friendship as we knew it, was going to end. so i just blinded myself to all the signs. because i didn't want to be left with nothing.
then i guess we can both have nothing. together.
