i know you don't like a big, mushy, romantic scene. no skywriting. no writing your name in flower petals.
just you and me. together. and frankly, that's all i want. that's all i need. i love you morley. will you marry me?
you did?
she said yes.
why would she say no?
she said yes. she said yes. i'm still trying to process. morley is actually going to marry me. i'm getting married. and today i can be the kind of cheeseball who tells random people at the atm about it because it's valentine's day and people are all about love today.
you three pick up all the roses from sam and load them in the trucks. i have to find something for morley. something spectacular.
guiseppe. i need you.
morley said yes so i'm gonna need something --
yes. what is the deal with you guys? she wants to marry me - i swear.
but i can't just give her roses today. i need to find something amazing.
yeah?
what's in it?
the right time?
really?
thank you, guiseppe. you're the best.
110 million. that's correct, kelvin. and california produces about sixty percent of them.
reed bennett. owner of rita flora on la brea and sixth.
hell, yes. love is still the most shocking act left on the planet.
here you go. i gave you two banana nut for the price of one -- little engagement special.
who's up next? in honor of valentine's day - and my engagement - a good proposal story means a free specialty drink.
the future mrs. bennett, ladies and gentlemen.
morley really does not like people making a fuss over her -
so i just thought we'd carry her on our shoulders around the store like one time - two times tops -
i'm kidding. (handing his apron to a
nice to see you. fiance. that word is weird, right? have you said it yet?
so, did you just come by to bask in the glow of our fiance-ness? try saying it once--
that was sweet. thanks.
that's bad?
yeah?
i don't know - that sounds kind of nice. maybe i should wear the ring?
good point. i feel slighted.
see you at home. fiance.
happy valentine's day.
henry, you got this?
does anyone have any confidence in me? she said yes.
she thought it was a beautiful ring, just not the right ring.
it just wasn't her speed. it's fine.
wow. things are going well with him, then?
i don't think so.
no. i love spontaneity.
and sickening. humans are not meant to ingest that much fried dough.
take the flight, julia. valentine's day is like new year's eve. you don't think, you just go for it.
thirteen dollars.
you got it.
do you think it should bum me out she's not wearing the ring? i tried to go with simple and classic, but i don't think i nailed it. it's weird - i feel like i'm always really trying to get it right with her - and i always miss the mark a little.
why not?
next?
i'm the owner.
no problem. come over here and i'll write you up.
what can i do for you?
i understand.
let me see if i am understanding this correctly. this first order is for alexandra copeland in malibu. that's your wife?
and this second order is for julia persinger at crescent elementary school? now, is julia your daughter?
we do. i just wanted to make sure we're understanding the same understanding.
this is ridiculous. there's easily several hundred dollars worth of damage here. we're already behind on our delivery schedule. and then i find out that julia's boyfriend is married. i mean, what am i supposed to do with that? i shouldn't tell her, right? who wants to hear that? (he looks at alphonso,
really? why?
julia?
this order came in at the store today. i thought i'd deliver it myself.
your boyfriend?
julia. there's something i have to tell you. can i see you outside?
i was. i mean. i don't know. i met harrison when he came in and placed the order.
oh, yeah. i remember now. they must still be on the truck, little man. don't worry, they'll get here soon.
don't get on that plane today. it's a mistake.
i do, but--
just making a quick stop at my house -
i know but -
- we're in the neighborhood and i wanna put these flowers out before my bride-to-be comes home. you know - surprise her. i'll be fast.
oh, by the way. i didn't tell julia about harrison.
i tried. i couldn't do it to her. i just - don't think it's my place.
be right back.
hello?
hey.
what are you doing home?
it's not the ring. it's me.
look, it's fine. if you're not ready, that's ok. we can take the whole marriage thing off the table. maybe i shouldn't have surprised you like that - we've only been together a year - maybe we should have talked about it --
did you even consider marrying me? even for a minute?
you're not gonna believe this. morley was in there. she's leaving me. we're not getting married.
so this you believe? you don't believe it when she says yes but you believe it when she moves out?
you knew?
what feeling?
an inkling? why didn't you say something?
but i do.
with julia. i know something isn't right.
i've gotta stop her.
wait - i thought we were behind?
shit. straight to voicemail again.
i need a ticket on any flight that leaves from gate c. preferably your cheapest.
but you can sell me a ticket, right? if you wanted to.
look, i know what this seems like. i'm just some other shlemiel who cheated on his girlfriend, and now he's here with his sob story, begging you to let him go chase the girl down and tell her how it was all a big misunderstanding and that the email with all the naked pictures was actually just a gag by one of his fraternity buddies.
right? so let me tell you my story. the girl i'm running to catch isn't even my girlfriend. but i have to tell her that her boyfriend - they guy she's about to get on a plane and surprise - is married. and it's a crappy thing to hear. but i have to do it because it's the right thing to do. because she's a great girl and she'd even take a cigar band from a guy - and i know i'm getting a little off track here, but my point is - i have to go get her.
i need to talk to you.
he's married.
your boyfriend. harrison.
no, julia. he lives in malibu with his wife, alexandra. he came into rita flora today and sent you both red roses.
do you think morley and i belong together?
it just - does. do you?
you're not answering the question. honestly - as my friend -
well that's why i'm doing this. because apparently everyone and their mother knew i shouldn't propose to her, but no one had the guts to say anything - and now she's gone and i'm left with this stupid ring and an empty closet and i don't want you to make the same mistake i did. don't pursue a dead end julia. it hurts like hell.
don't get on that plane. julia. think. didn't you know? somewhere? we always know, right?
get out. go inside and be with your wife.
so, surprise her. someone around here should have a happy valentine's day.
i did everything i could to stop her.
and how do you know that? another inkling.
go. be with your family.
where to?
everything ok?
anytime.
so. you're here.
you are not a loser. you just - deserve better.
so why didn't you go?
and now that i have nothing?
