1
So, honey, Ibiza can only take us at 6 .30 tonight.
2
Great.
3
I will meet you at Ibiza.
4
It's pronounced Abiza, not Abiza.
5
Oh, thanks, honey.
6
That reminds me, this weekend, I want to see that baby panda at the zoo.
7
Yeah.
8
I'm the idiot.
9
This year for Valentine's Day, we're gonna have a nice quiet dinner at Ibiza.
10
Last year, we, um...
11
We overreached a little.
12
We created sexy alter egos, Clive and Juliana.
13
I met in the hotel bar.
14
This one lost her panties in the lobby in front of her dad.
15
Which was a little...
16
It was hard.
17
It was hard for her.
18
You know I can't stand it when you use that word.
19
Panties?
20
Yeah, that's...
21
Yes, that word.
22
Sorry.
23
She lost her under panties. So? So?
24
Well, huh? So?
25
What's happening?
26
Flowers.
27
Is someone pointing a gun at you?
28
Oh, for goodness sake, did you get the flowers Lily and I sent you?
29
Oh, that's so sweet.
30
No, no, I didn't get anything.
31
Really?
32
Did you check with that assistant of yours?
33
Broderick?
34
Uh, did you get any flowers today?
35
No, sadly, I'm without Valentine this year.
36
No, for Mitchell!
37
The flowers are for Mitchell!
38
Oh, that's right.
39
Oops.
40
Mitchell's assistant has a huge crush on him.
41
He does not.
42
And I think the only prudent thing to do is say if I have them.
43
Don't be jealous.
44
He just looks up to me.
45
The thing about Mitchell is he can be naive.
46
He is completely unaware of how absolutely adorable he is.
47
Okay, well, thank you.
48
But I am aware when someone has a crush on me, and he does not have a crush on me.
49
I was a little concerned when they said they could only take us at 6 .30, but...
50
I know, this house is on fire, right?
51
Now, this is how you do V -Day.
52
Except most of these people could have been here on V -E Day.
53
But it's classy, which we deserve.
54
Yes, we do.
55
What were we thinking last year, acting like a couple of teenagers?
56
I know.
57
Oh.
58
Hey, we've had our crazy Valentine's Days.
59
We tore it up.
60
But you gotta know when to let that stuff go.
61
Yeah.
62
All those kids out there are just looking for something that we've already got.
63
Yeah.
64
I love you.
65
I love you.
66
Oh, boy.
67
Wow.
68
Wow.
69

70
Are you okay?
71
I'm good.
72
We're good.
73
Are you all right?
74
I'm good.
75
I'm good.
76
Are you all right?
77
Oh, hey, let me help you out.
78
How about I park it over there for you, okay?
79
Oh, thank you.
80
Here's your valet ticket.
81
I'm kidding, actually.
82
That's my valet ticket.
83
All right.
84

85
