01:31Oh, you're one foxy lady.
01:34Be my Valentine.
01:35Well, now.
01:36Mom, a little privacy.
01:38She'll love it.
01:39I have some for my other friends.
01:40I know.
01:42But this is a special one.
01:44Oh, you packed your own lunch.
01:47Not a baby anymore.
01:48Did the mail come?
01:53Pop, they're in alphabetical order.
01:54What?
01:55Stop.
01:56Nope.
01:56The mail did not come today, so you're just gonna have to wait.
01:59Wait?
01:59That's like playing a game of Russian roulette at my age.
02:02Won't be bail any time soon when the post office on strike.
02:05Damn pinko posties.
02:07I mean, I need my check.
02:09Well, your breakfast is free.
02:10I mean, if they're on strike, I'm on strike.
02:16I'm going back to bed.
02:20Mike, breakfast.
02:23Mark's been doing his Valentine's cards.
02:25Did you remember yours?
02:26Oh, that reminds me.
02:28I ran into Yim Lee.
02:29Terrible news.
02:30Who's that?
02:31When your father and I were first married, we lived over a Chinese restaurant on Water Street.
02:35Lovely couple.
02:36What's wrong?
02:37He's opened a new location down the road, and he's invited us here tomorrow night, the whole family.
02:41Oh, that's wonderful.
02:43For you, I hate restaurants.
02:45That's the grand opening.
02:47The whole place is going to be packed.
02:48Oh, it's a date on Valentine's Day.
02:51Oh, Mike.
02:53I suppose there's no getting out of it now.
02:54Well, Yim's been good to us.
02:57Oh, for the love of God.
03:02Hello.
03:04Mark, it's for you.
03:05It's Kara.
03:06Kara.
03:08Protestant princess.
03:09The most exotic person I knew.
03:11And even though she had kicked my ass on regional television, I was inexplicably drawn to her.
03:16Like Mr. Chafe to a can of Vienna sausages.
03:19Uh, hello?
03:20Hi.
03:21So, I was thinking, I want you to be my Valentine.
03:25Tomorrow's Friday.
03:27We should do something.
03:28I had never said no to a girl before.
03:31I'd never said yes either, but still.
03:33Uh, wow.
03:34You're Valentine?
03:36Uh, that is quite the offer.
03:38Uh, thank you.
03:39You see, my family and I are going out for dinner, so I...
03:42Then it's a date.
03:44Talk later.
03:46Valentine.
03:46Valentine.
03:47Cupid's arrow had shot me in the foot.
03:54I thought you already had a Valentine.
03:57Mom!
03:58Privacy!
03:59Hmm.
03:59Breakfast.
04:01Should be able to eat a lot with two faces, hmm?
04:03I've lost my appetite.
04:07Going to school.
04:12Breaking news.
04:13Late last night, early this morning, negotiations with the Postal Workers Union broke off, with government hoping to stamp out an uprising.
04:20They told the union, the check is in the mail, but neither rain nor sleet nor snow will keep the posties from coming back to the table.
04:28Mike Critch, the VOCM News Service.
04:30Hey, Dad, we need the room.
04:34We're getting a photo for the new VO Magic Morning Billboard.
04:38Where's Dick?
04:44Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
04:46Looks great, Dick.
04:48What looks great?
04:50You...
04:52Am I, uh, still taking the photo, or...
04:55No, Gertie, that'll do.
05:00Yeah.
05:04What's all this about?
05:05I'm shagged, Mike, bye.
05:07Mr. Murphy is practically giving my show to your youngster.
05:12You know what that means.
05:13I'm slipping down the dial.
05:15First it's mornings, then the afternoon drive, then oldies, then fired.
05:21You're not wrong.
05:23What?
05:24I mean, don't worry about it.
05:26Come on, Mike, bye.
05:27I'm gonna be 40 soon.
05:30Look, Dick, we're all getting older.
05:35Maybe it's just time you started to act your age.
05:39Here.
05:56Here.
05:58Oh.
05:59Thanks for coming over, Suzanne.
06:01I just don't know what to do with myself these days.
06:04You know, young Mike's always working, and Mark don't want to be anywhere near me.
06:09And his father is just too stressed to talk to.
06:12It's like nobody needs me anymore.
06:15Did my check come?
06:17Well, you frig off.
06:18I'm talking to Suzanne.
06:20Oh, that's all right.
06:21Yeah.
06:22Ever since my ex moved, I've been having a hard time making ends meet.
06:27I had to take another job.
06:28Oh, Sin, what are you doing now?
06:32I'm a scab down to the post office.
06:36Well, what do you do?
06:37Well, it's just sorting mail.
06:38Sometimes they get me to deliver it.
06:41It's just a couple of hours a day until the strike is over.
06:44Geez, Mary girl.
06:47They're always looking for fill-ins.
06:48Why don't you come down with me and sign up?
06:50Oh, I don't know, girl.
06:52I mean, what about the ones on strike?
06:53Isn't that bad?
06:54Oh, well...
06:55You know, the way I looks at it, if there weren't scabs, replacement workers, then they'd be forced to go back to work.
07:05I mean, you'd be supporting their cause from the inside.
07:10I don't know, Pop.
07:12Oh.
07:12I mean, you know what your trouble is?
07:15You are codependent.
07:17No, no, no, no, no, don't.
07:18I saw it on Donoghue.
07:21Because you give and you give and you give.
07:24But you can't set yourself on fire just to keep other people warm.
07:29Take the job.
07:31Say goodbye to Mom.
07:34Say hello to Mary again.
07:37You are right.
07:38That crowd would be lucky to have me.
07:40Yeah.
07:41I'm gonna do it.
07:44Ow!
07:45Good.
07:46Oh, and, uh...
07:48Listen, while you're down there,
07:51would you look for my check?
07:54Wait, so let me get this straight.
07:57You have not one, but two girlfriends now?
08:01You've gone full Archie Andrews.
08:03Look, it's not like that.
08:04Carrie and Fox are just two friends who happen to be girls.
08:08They both have feelings for you.
08:10Your point being?
08:12You need to be honest with them.
08:13I know, I...
08:16I like them both.
08:18And they both seem to like me.
08:20And I really like being liked.
08:22And if Fox finds out,
08:23she's gonna be really hurt.
08:25Then she's really gonna hurt you.
08:29Hey, guys.
08:30What are you talking about?
08:32Uh, noting.
08:33Our final story tonight
08:44is all about looking for love.
08:46Where the hell's your mother?
08:49We should be a quarter to dessert by now.
08:53Meet the amazing Chagra.
08:57I bought the chocolates for Fox,
08:58but with Mom gone,
09:00this was a matter of survival.
09:01Oh, yeah, oh, chocolate.
09:05Oh.
09:08Hmm, coconut.
09:10Disgusting.
09:11Where's the map?
09:12Mary!
09:13Where the hell you been?
09:15Oh, didn't Pop tell you?
09:16I got a temp job down at the post office.
09:19Oh, awesome, Mom.
09:20You're a scam?
09:22I'll make dinner.
09:23And we already ate.
09:25So there.
09:26What?
09:27What, what's the...
09:28What?
09:29Well,
09:29that's just fine, then.
09:33It's very fine, indeed.
09:36No.
09:38Dad.
09:39I can't read this.
09:42Here.
09:43Bite that.
09:47Hmm.
09:48All right.
09:49This thing isn't mine for you.
09:51I know you are anxious
09:56to pass out your Valentines, children,
09:58but remember,
10:00the real St. Valentine
10:01was not some chocolate-crazed sex fiend.
10:05He married Christians in secrecy
10:07until he was discovered
10:08by the Roman emperor,
10:10arrested,
10:11and beaten to death with clubs,
10:12and beheaded
10:13on February 14th.
10:16So...
10:18love hurts?
10:19Yes.
10:28Passing out Valentines in class.
10:30It didn't mean you actually
10:31loved someone.
10:33Until it did.
10:36As long as I didn't
10:37give her my card,
10:37I'd be in the clear.
10:42Love must really be blind
10:43because I did not
10:44see that coming.
10:48If I had two Valentines,
10:49my heart would not be
10:50the only thing broken.
10:53I don't have yours.
10:56I didn't know
10:57you were into this
10:58kind of stuff.
11:00Oh, no, I'm not.
11:02It's a joke.
11:05I mean,
11:05it's totally stupid.
11:07Right.
11:08Stupid, right?
11:09Mm-hmm.
11:10Hmm.
11:13So,
11:14want to hang out?
11:17Uh,
11:18I can't
11:19because
11:20I've got a
11:21family thing
11:22with just my family.
11:25Alone.
11:26All of us.
11:28Smooth.
11:29Yeah,
11:30me too.
11:31I got somewhere
11:31I gotta be.
11:32Where?
11:33What are you,
11:34writing a book?
11:39Valentine's Day's stupid.
11:40Yeah.
11:42Stupid.
11:43Lies are wrong,
11:48but sometimes
11:48the truth
11:49isn't right either.

14:41but don't contact me.
14:44So,
14:45I am someone's daddy.

15:17It's Dick.
15:18Your dad.
15:19What do you have for valentines?
15:27I was so confused.
15:29How could I have feelings for two girls?
15:31Kara had been in and out of my life,
15:33but Fox had always been there.
15:38Ow.
15:39Frank.

16:19Something special.
16:24It's really nice.
16:26It's
16:27a real one.
16:28It's not a kid one.
16:29That's
16:30Come on, kid.
16:32Yeah, sorry.
16:35Bye.
16:36Love you.
16:38Love you?
16:39I mean,

16:42What the hell was I doing?
16:45Damn Cupid.

16:47a bow and arrow?
17:04Welcome to Kenmouth.
17:09So,
17:09what are you having?
17:11Beef and broccoli.
17:12What's in that?
17:13I don't know what I want.
17:16It's all good.
17:16We can get two number ones.
17:18Why don't we just
17:19split a number two, then?
17:20It's not enough.
17:21You should split
17:21a number three.
17:22Three doesn't go into two.
17:26Hi, Mike.
17:27Mary.
17:28Oh.
17:29Thanks so much for coming.
17:30Oh, yeah.
17:31What a terrific spot
17:32and an amazing menu
17:34you have here.
17:34We're going to split
17:35a number three
17:35and maybe get a side
17:37of that nice red gravy.
17:39Perfect.
17:39Now get your waitress.
17:43Come on.
17:45So, Cara,
17:46what does your father do?
17:49My dad's an engineer
17:50and my mom teaches nursing.
17:53Well, that's nice.
17:54I work, too.
17:56Oh, Mark hasn't mentioned.
17:58What do you do,
17:58Miss Critch?
17:59Well...
18:00She's a scab.
18:02Mailman.
18:04Mom's a mailman.
18:05Yes.
18:06Ooh, meatballs.
18:09Made with chicken.
18:11I might have to use
18:12a public facility.
18:13Why didn't you ask me
18:14if I had to go
18:15before we left the house,
18:16eh?
18:17I can't do anything right.
18:21What's this all about?
18:24I'm not needed
18:25at home anymore.
18:27I get it.
18:28not needed.
18:30I'm sure I'm all
18:32wrinkled
18:32and half-starved to death.
18:35But you're more than that.
18:37You're the glue
18:37who holds
18:38this whole family together.
18:40Those posties,
18:41they got a damn
18:41fine worker.
18:43But we lost
18:44a wonderful boss.
18:45Oh, get a room.
18:54I've lost my appetite.
18:57What?
18:57Hi.
18:58Can I take your...
19:01Oh.
19:02Fox.
19:03You work here?
19:06Cute.
19:09No.
19:10Wait.
19:11Wait.
19:11Just...
19:12Ridiculous.
19:16I don't know.
19:18Fox, just...
19:19Why didn't you
19:22tell me you had a job?
19:24Why didn't you
19:25tell me you had
19:25a girlfriend?
19:30Figures.
19:31Couldn't take
19:32Cinderella out to dinner,
19:33right?
19:34I mean,
19:35you'd serve it.
19:37I shouldn't get to
19:38go where you work here.
19:39I didn't have a choice.
19:41Since Dad shagged off,
19:42Mom can't keep up.
19:45So,
19:47what was with the card?
19:49You pity me?
19:50No.
19:51No.
19:52She asked me.
19:53I didn't know
19:54what to say,
19:55but...
19:55I promise,
19:56I got my card
19:57for you first.
19:58I swear.
19:59You could have said no.
20:00I'd like someone else
20:01to not waste my time.
20:04Or is that too
20:05grown up for you?
20:07No.
20:08Where's the pay phone?
20:09I'm gonna call my mom.
20:10Please,
20:12just...
20:17So...
20:21So now,
20:24maybe we
20:24can nurse?
20:27Love
20:27is truly
20:28a mysterious thing.
20:30I learned
20:31off the airwaves
20:32Here is my request
20:34Whether it's old love
20:36You don't have to play it
20:38But I hope you'll do your best
20:40Love that we're not ready for
20:41I've been listening to you

21:33you may think
21:33I'm a bit of a glutton
21:35for eating all your chocolates
21:36But I'll remind you
21:38You're the one
21:39who's trying to get
21:40two girlfriends
21:41It's not like that
21:43I...
21:44I just like them
21:45for different things
21:46It seems to me
21:48that Cara
21:50is trying to
21:51push herself
21:52into your heart
21:53But little Miss Red
21:54already has
21:56a special place there
21:57Am I right?
22:02I'm pretty sure
22:03she doesn't want
22:03anything to do
22:04with me anymore
22:05You know,
22:06sometimes
22:07really loving someone
22:08means knowing
22:11when to let them go
22:12How do I know
22:16how to do that?
22:18Well, don't ask me
22:19I've never been able
22:21to figure that out
22:22Night, Pop

22:29follow your heart
22:30if it's more confused
22:31than your head
