Of course.

Okay.

l am so sorry.

l love you.

l love you.

Love you.

All right.

You "aorta" run.

It's a good thing

that Jeremy finally came around.

You might have had to

follow him to Ireland this weekend

and pull a Grandma Jane.

It is leap year, you know.

"Leap-year proposals

are an old folklore tradition

"that dates back

to the 5th century."

Sure.

In Ireland,

there's this tradition

that in a leap year,

a woman can propose to a man on February 29th,

one day every four years.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

That's ridiculous.

Are you traveling on business or pleasure?

I'm going to propose

to my boyfriend on leap day.

Are you now?

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Jeremy, my boyfriend,

is already there on business.

We've been together

four years. Four years.

It's a long time.

It's not like

I'm rushing anything by doing this, you know.

He bought me earrings.

Don't get me wrong, they're beautiful,

but earrings

don't exactly say commitment.

Not that commitment

is an issue.

l mean, we're buying

this apartment together and it's perfect.

l know exactly

how I'm going to change it.

We're just gonna

knock down that wall.

You see? If we open up

the kitchen a little,

l think it flows better

into the dining area.

Just creates

a more free overall...

Ladies and gentlemen,

this is your captain speaking.

It looks like

there's a spot of bad weather up ahead,

so we may experience

just a little bit of turbulence.

I'm getting engaged.

I'm getting engaged.

I'm not gonna die

without getting engaged!

This is your captain

here again, ladies and gentlemen.

l may have underestimated

the storm just a little bit,

but I'm afraid

we are being diverted to Cardiff, Wales,

as Dublin Airport

has been shut down.

What?

Once landed, ground staff

will be happy to book you onto connecting flights

in order to get you

to your final destination.

Wales? No, we can't

land in Wales.

At least

we're landing.

Yes, but I'm on

a schedule.

Excuse me.

Yeah, l need to get through.

Cardiff, Wales Airport regrets to announce

that due to

inclement weather,

all flights today

have been canceled.

I'm sorry, there's

nothing very much l can do about it.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah, could you move?

There are

no more flights until tomorrow.

No flights until tomorrow?

Tomorrow, madam.

Tomorrow.

l think

that's what l said. Didn't l, Beryl?

That is what

you said.

Well, no, that's not

going to work for me.

Look. I'm going to Dublin

to propose to my boyfriend on the 29th, leap day.

It's an old Irish tradition,

and l need to buy a dress

and find a ring

and book a restaurant.

So, between us girls,

l think you can see

why l really need to be there today.
