Valentine's Day Page #5

How long...? How long has it been

since you've been home?

Eleven months.

And how long do you get to stay?

Just till tomorrow.

Wow. Fourteen-hour flight both ways

just for one night.

Wow. That's romantic.

You're a romantic.

I mean. That's quite a gesture.

That's commitment.

You on Facebook?

WOMAN:
I need some chrysanthemums.

- What? You should speak English.

- I had to learn when I came.

- Chrysanthemums and calla lilies.

- I don't know what it...

- Michael. Calm down.

What language do you speak in?

I used to speak Bulgarian.

But I'm an American citizen now.

Does anybody here speak English

with a Bulgarian accent?

MAN:
Over here. I do.

- There he is.

Bulgarize away. Here we go.

There she is!

The future Mrs. Reed Bennett!

MICHAEL:

Oh. Chrysanthemums.

- Hi. Babe.

- Hi. Baby.

Hello. Fiancee.

It sounds weird. Have you said it yet?

Nikki. Take over for a minute.

Come this way.

Wait. These are for you.

I knew they were for somebody.

- Darah. Have you met my fiancee?

- Hi. Morley.

- Hi.

- I just like saying it. I feel so grown-up.

MICHAEL:

Next. Please!

- Look what you forgot.

- Dee. That is...

Is one empty hand.

Oh. Yeah.

Don't be mad.

Mad? Why would I be mad?

I'm concerned.

Well. Just...

Do you have any idea what it would be

like at work today if I wore that thing?

- I mean. People will be asking me...

- "Where'd you get the big ring?"

You know. "How many bridesmaids?"

And. "How did he do it?"

- "Gonna have kids? How many?"

- Three.

- What?

- Two dogs. And maybe some chickens.

- We can talk about it. We don't have to.

- Dweetheart. I just think right now...

...it would be better if maybe

we could just keep it a secret.

MAN:
Where are you from?

WOMAN:
I am from Ruse.

All right. You guys can start

a Bulgarian village together. All right.

Oh. My God. Iook. There's the bride. Hi.

Listen. I called my BFF. Tony.

He is already on the dress.

He does all the gowns in Vegas.

Cher. Celine. Carrot Top.

This is going to be so much fun!

Oh. My God. It's...

- Breathe. Breathe.

- I have to breathe.

Okay.

- Dee what I mean?

- Yep. I get it.

EDGAR:

Do...

...Iove is the problem?

- Did you ever have it?

- Oh. Yeah.

EDIDON:

How old were you when you got it?

Let's see. I'd just started working

at an architectural firm...

...and there was this beautiful young girl.

And she was studying to be an actress.

Was your heart kind of going:

Yeah. Yeah. Just that way. It went.

Bumpada. Bumpada. Bumpada. Boom.

You betcha. Just like that.

One day I got up the courage

to introduce myself.

I walk out. Walked right up to her

and opened my mouth and...

...nothing comes out.
