00:00:00Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. What does that mean?
00:00:12This line is very long.
00:00:14Uh, is that bad?
00:00:17That's good. Means you'll live many, many years.
00:00:21Oh, well, as long as it doesn't involve any undue weight gain.
00:00:24Mmm. Mmm. This line is very short. Is that good?
00:00:32No, that is bad. This means you have had a very difficult relationship in your past.
00:00:38Perhaps someone has wronged you somehow? They did get my coffee order wrong this morning.
00:00:43You mock Madame Renata? I see pain in his head. This line? Very crooked.
00:00:51Well, is that good or is that bad? This means you are afraid to take chances in life.
00:00:56Well, who isn't? Those who would find love.
00:01:06All right. We will have more of these fascinating predictions from Madame Renata right after these messages.
00:01:13And we're out.
00:01:26Rick!
00:01:31Lose the fortune teller.
00:01:38Miss Lovett, that was amazing.
00:01:40Are you kidding me? That was the worst show we've ever done. That woman was a complete fraud.
00:01:44But what she said about your past...
00:01:45She was fishing. She's a fake.
00:01:47I liked her.
00:01:48Eve! Eve! Hold on.
00:01:50We can't just lose the psychic. We have another segment left with her.
00:01:53Yeah, well, shorten it up. It's boring.
00:01:55Can you give us a moment?
00:01:57Are you two gonna fight again?
00:01:58Trina, the producer of the show, and the host do not fight. They discuss.
00:02:02Right.
00:02:05Okay. What's the problem?
00:02:06What's the problem? Have you seen our ratings this week?
00:02:09No, but I...
00:02:10Let me spare you having to read them, okay?
00:02:12We were beaten again by that courtroom show on Channel 8.
00:02:16The one with the singing judge?
00:02:17Doesn't mean she's not winning her time slot.
00:02:19What have we got? Madame Spooky Eyes and her palm reading.
00:02:22People like it.
00:02:23Not enough.
00:02:24Rick, one more drop in the ratings and we'll be selling exercise balls at 2 a.m.
00:02:29Okay. I'll think of something.
00:02:32Rita!
00:02:32So, what did you think of the show today?
00:02:39I don't watch television.
00:02:41I have enough trouble trying to care about the people in my own life.
00:02:45Good night, Carolyn.
00:02:49And my name is Janos.
00:02:51Yes, thank you.
00:03:16Good evening.
00:03:17Good evening, Miss Lovett.
00:03:21Table for one as usual.
00:03:23You don't have to rub it in, Louie.
00:03:25I beg your pardon.
00:03:26May I?
00:03:26Yes.
00:03:27This way, please.
00:03:54I'm glad you can't drink it.
00:04:01It's good.
00:04:02What about you?
00:04:03Not on camera.
00:04:04No?
00:04:05Uh-huh.
00:04:06We're going to talk to you.
00:04:07Okay.
00:04:08I'm not.
00:04:09I'm not.
00:04:10I'm not.
00:04:11I'm not.
00:04:12I'm not.
00:04:13I'm not.
00:04:14I'm not.
00:04:15I'm not.
00:04:16I'm not.
00:04:17I'm not.
00:04:18I'm not.
00:04:19I'm not.
00:04:20I'm not.
00:04:21I'm not.
00:04:22Hello.
00:04:27Excuse me.
00:04:28I'm sorry to bother you.
00:04:30Mm-hmm.
00:04:31This is very forward of me.
00:04:33But I couldn't help noticing you here.
00:04:35And my name is David.
00:04:37Hello, David.
00:04:38My name is Eve.
00:04:40I knew it.
00:04:41It's her.
00:04:43See, we have a bet.
00:04:44My friend said it wasn't you, but I said it was.
00:04:47Used to watch your show all the time.
00:04:49Used to?
00:04:50Tommy watched that singing judge show over on channel eight.
00:04:53Anyway, he's got to buy me a drink now.
00:04:56So thanks.
00:04:57You're welcome.
00:04:58You enjoy that.
00:05:00You have no new messages.
00:05:11You're not going to die alone.
00:05:16Taxi!
00:05:17No, it's okay, really, Nancy.
00:05:19I have come to terms with the idea of being single for the rest of my life.
00:05:26What?
00:05:27Because some fortune teller said so?
00:05:29Taxi!
00:05:30No.
00:05:31It's not that.
00:05:32I have a very full life.
00:05:34I have a career.
00:05:35Besides, there are more important things than love.
00:05:38Like what?
00:05:39Like my show.
00:05:42The ratings are in the toilet.
00:05:44You know, if you were my patient, I'd say there's something else going on here.
00:05:48Besides ratings.
00:05:49Taxi!
00:05:50Honey, my ratings are everything.
00:05:53But thanks for the free therapy.
00:05:55Maybe you just need a holiday.
00:05:57Why don't you come to New York for a weekend?
00:05:59We can do the town.
00:06:00Ugh.
00:06:01I wish I could, but...
00:06:02But what?
00:06:03Come on.
00:06:04It'll be fun.
00:06:05Maybe you'll even meet a nice guy and fall in love.
00:06:07Ooh, taxi!
00:06:08Ugh, trust me, Nancy.
00:06:10The last thing I need in my life right now is love.
00:06:30Yes?
00:06:31Dr. Sidney Twaddle?
00:06:32It's pronounced Twaddle.
00:06:33Well, congratulations, sir.
00:06:34You just won an all-expense-paid two-week vacation cruise to the South Pacific.
00:06:49Yeah, I'm afraid that's impossible.
00:06:51I am scheduled to appear on a television program later this afternoon.
00:06:54Oh, come on!
00:06:56Free cruise!
00:06:57Dancing girls?
00:06:58All the coconuts you can eat!
00:07:01I'm allergic to coconuts.
00:07:02Is there anything I can do to help you change your mind?
00:07:04No, I'm afraid not.
00:07:07Hey, Twaddle!
00:07:09Yes?
00:07:10Go!
00:07:11Have fun in Tahiti!
00:07:13Ugh.
00:07:20She doesn't deserve you, you know.
00:07:23I'm here, I'm here, I'm here!
00:07:25I was up all night reading this book by today's guest.
00:07:28Good morning, Miss Lovett.
00:07:29Good morning, Bob.
00:07:30It's Ben.
00:07:31Uh, Miss Lovett, about today's guest.
00:07:33Yes, Dr. Sidney Twaddle.
00:07:35He wrote this book, Dissection of Love.
00:07:37And he's not here.
00:07:38What? Why?
00:07:39He had to cancel, but Mr. Dayton found a replacement.
00:07:42A replacement? Who?
00:07:44Ahem.
00:07:45Ah!
00:07:49Fern and Gart.
00:07:50Cupid Incorporated.
00:07:51Pleasure to meet you, Miss Lovett.
00:07:55Cupid Incorporated?
00:07:57Now, what exactly is that, Cupid Incorporated?
00:08:00Well, we offer a very specialized service.
00:08:03One that the head office feels you are in desperate need of.
00:08:06The head office?
00:08:08Yes.
00:08:09According to our records, you are a complete failure in the romance department.
00:08:14This has caused you to close yourself down emotionally to the world around you.
00:08:17And is in large part responsible for the unhappiness that you feel,
00:08:21which you try to smother with the empty trappings of television celebrity.
00:08:25You know what you're talking about at all, Mr. Gart.
00:08:28Miss Lovett.
00:08:29I'm here to help you find love.
00:08:31Will you excuse me for a moment?
00:08:41Yeah, I definitely... Can I call you back?
00:08:44Would you mind telling me what's going on here?
00:08:46What do you mean?
00:08:47I mean, there's some weirdo in my office telling me that I am a failure at love,
00:08:52but he's here to help.
00:08:53Yes, I... I was gonna tell you about him.
00:08:55When? When were you gonna tell me, Rick? When I was on the air?
00:08:58I got a call from Dr. Twaddell. Something about being on a boat in Tahiti.
00:09:02It was a bad connection. I couldn't get it all.
00:09:04Anyway, we were stuck and this guy's name suddenly came up and he's available
00:09:09and he comes highly recommended.
00:09:11Okay, this is exactly what I am talking about, Rick.
00:09:14This is why our numbers are down.
00:09:16It is the same old self-help authors and psychics and fortune tellers.
00:09:22We need something fresh. Something original.
00:09:25You're right.
00:09:26What?
00:09:27Which is why we're lucky that Vernon Gart was dropped into our lives.
00:09:30What are you talking about?
00:09:32I'm talking about...
00:09:35Valentine's Day.
00:09:39Eve's week of love.
00:09:41Huh?
00:09:42Four days of romance-themed programs,
00:09:45starting with Vernon Gart, our very own representative from Cupid Incorporated,
00:09:49and finishing with a live broadcast in the studio.
00:09:52Are you kidding me?
00:09:53No.
00:09:54This is the kind of thing that could bring our numbers back up to the top.
00:09:58I'm not doing that.
00:09:59Why not?
00:10:00Because, Rick, it is corny and cheesy and old-fashioned.
00:10:05Love is corny and cheesy and old-fashioned, Eve.
00:10:08That's why people love being in love.
00:10:10What has it been so long as you forgot what it's like?
00:10:12What is that supposed to mean?
00:10:14Eve, you don't let anybody in.
00:10:16Maybe that's why our audience is tuning us out.
00:10:19Well, I am sorry that you don't think I've got what it takes to be the host anymore.
00:10:23Oh, perhaps I'll take up singing.
00:10:26And then I can give the judge on Channel 8 a real run for her money.
00:10:30Eve, Eve.
00:10:36And here we go.
00:10:37Another exciting adventure in television history.
00:10:40Your enthusiasm is inspiring, Marv.
00:10:43Well, I don't need this, you know.
00:10:44I was nominated for an Oscar.
00:10:45It was a student Oscar, and you lost.
00:10:49In five, four, three.
00:10:55Here's your host, Eve Lovett.
00:11:02Hi, everyone, and welcome to the show.
00:11:04I am Eve Lovett, your host.
00:11:06And today, our very special guest is a remarkable man
00:11:11who is going to tell us all a little bit about what it means to be in love.
00:11:16Please welcome Mr. Vernon Gart.
00:11:28Welcome, Mr. Gart.
00:11:30Oh, please.
00:11:31Just call me Vernon.
00:11:33Okay, Vernon, thank you.
00:11:35Now, to start things off, why don't you tell our audience
00:11:38a little bit about what it is that you do?
00:11:40Well, frankly, Miss Lovett, I'd rather just talk about you.
00:11:44Sorry, me?
00:11:45Mm-hmm.
00:11:47This should be interesting.
00:11:49I'm really just here to help you find love.
00:11:51Well, thank you very much, but I don't think I need help in that department.
00:11:56Oh, I believe you do.
00:11:58You've needed my help since Andrew Voivonich.
00:12:01Well, how do you know about him?
00:12:03The young boy who dumped you in the seventh grade?
00:12:05I have my sources.
00:12:07And, of course, there was Chas Leland, the high school football player,
00:12:12who two-timed you with Mary Louise Baumgarten at the senior prom.
00:12:15Okay, come on.
00:12:17Who told him?
00:12:18Who told you about him?
00:12:19The worst was that jerky guitar player in college, Darren Palminteri.
00:12:24What?
00:12:25What?
00:12:26What?
00:12:27I never told anyone about that.
00:12:29Who is this guy?
00:12:31Haven't you had just the worst luck?
00:12:33And that's what we're worried about in the head office.
00:12:36You've been hurt so many times that you've given up on love.
00:12:41So I'm here to help you find it again.
00:12:43All right, that's enough.
00:12:44Rick!
00:12:45All right, cut.
00:12:46Cut!
00:12:47Excuse me.
00:12:48Rick!
00:12:49Rick!
00:12:53What is going on out here?
00:12:54I was just about to ask you the same thing.
00:12:56Did you set this whole thing up?
00:12:57I had nothing to do with this.
00:12:58What did you do?
00:12:59Did you go back to my high school yearbook or something?
00:13:02I swear I didn't tell him anything.
00:13:03I don't even know any of that stuff.
00:13:04Okay, then who is he?
00:13:06One of your mind readers?
00:13:07I don't know.
00:13:08Why don't we ask him?
00:13:09Okay, I will.
00:13:10Where'd he go?
00:13:17Did anyone see him leave?
00:13:19No, no, no.
00:13:20That's okay.
00:13:21I'll deal with it later.
00:13:22No sign of him anywhere in the building.
00:13:24He must have just left.
00:13:26I mean, you were not very polite to him.
00:13:29Oh, so now it's my fault.
00:13:31Well, he got up and walked away from the interview without any explanation.
00:13:34Poor guy must have felt completely insulted.
00:13:36You could stop this anytime, you know.
00:13:38Stop what?
00:13:39I have to admit though, it's an original idea.
00:13:42Talk show guest as performance art.
00:13:44Eve, I told you, I'd never met this guy before.
00:13:47His publicist called suggesting him for the show and we were in a spot, so I-
00:13:51Nuh-uh.
00:13:52Have it your way.
00:13:53But the next time you do something like this,
00:13:55it might be a good idea to clear it with the host first.
00:13:58What are you doing in here?
00:14:15What?
00:14:16What?
00:14:25What are you doing in here?
00:14:27Can you ever forgive me?
00:14:28I shouldn't have tried to discuss such a private matter in a public forum.
00:14:32I do not know where you got your information, but I do not appreciate my love life being spread all across America on national television.
00:14:39Listen, I know you're upset, but you're a very difficult person to get a hold of and the head office felt the time was running out for you.
00:14:45I don't care what the head office felt.
00:14:48You need to get out of here.
00:14:51Rita!
00:14:52Please, call security.
00:14:54Ms. Lovett, are you all right?
00:14:55No, Rita, I am not all right.
00:14:56Why did you let him in my office?
00:14:58What?
00:15:00Shh.
00:15:01Hi.
00:15:04Ms. Lovett, can I get you some tea?
00:15:06No, thank you.
00:15:07Rita.
00:15:08Yes, he was in my office.
00:15:18No, I don't know how he got there, Rick, but I would appreciate it in the future if you would screen my guests a little more thoroughly before you let any crackpot with a book deal on my show.
00:15:28Okay.
00:15:36Nice wheel.
00:15:48What...
00:15:49What are you doing here?
00:15:50I thought this would be a more private place to talk.
00:15:52Who are you?
00:15:53I told you.
00:15:54My name is Vernon Gart, and I work for-
00:15:56Yeah, yeah, Cupid Incorporated, I got that part.
00:16:00What do you want from me?
00:16:01It's not what I want from you, Ms. Lovett.
00:16:03It's what you would like from yourself.
00:16:05What does that even mean?
00:16:07Well, according to your love profile-
00:16:09My what?
00:16:10Your love profile?
00:16:11At the head office?
00:16:12Everyone has one.
00:16:14And yours says that you have commitment issues.
00:16:18That's so not true.
00:16:20Uh, really?
00:16:21What was the longest relationship you ever had?
00:16:24A year?
00:16:25Uh-uh.
00:16:26Sam Callahan, an insurance salesman from Omaha, Nebraska, that lasted six months, a week, and an afternoon.
00:16:32That's a nice run, but it's not exactly Phantom of the Opera now, is it?
00:16:36But what does that have to do with anything?
00:16:38Because until you can see that love can actually work, you won't find it for yourself.
00:16:44That is why the head office has authorized me to offer you a deal.
00:16:48A deal?
00:16:49All you have to do is help one couple fall in love.
00:16:53And then what?
00:16:54And then your one true love will be revealed to you.
00:16:56My one true love?
00:16:59Come on.
00:17:00That doesn't even exist.
00:17:02Love is not for sissies.
00:17:03There's always going to be bumps and bruises along the way.
00:17:06But do you really want to live your life without it?
00:17:10This is your chance to find love, Eve.
00:17:13Oh, and one more thing.
00:17:14This offer expires February 14th.
00:17:16If you can't make a love match by then, then you're out of luck forever.
00:17:21Well, that's less than a week away.
00:17:23That's impossible.
00:17:24How am I supposed to make two people fall in love that fast?
00:17:27Miss Lovett, is everything okay?
00:17:33Why don't you ask him?
00:17:36Are you sure about that tea?
00:17:57Why don't you ask him?
00:17:58Why don't you ask him?
00:17:59Why don't you ask him?
00:18:00Why don't you ask him, Eve?
00:18:01Why don't you ask him?
00:18:02Well, I don't ask.
00:18:03I...
00:18:04Even if you don't know you, his wife is going to take this off.
00:18:06He's going to take so long.
00:18:07You know what?
00:18:08He's going to take his feet when he takes away.
00:18:10Then he goes, Eve.
00:18:11I'll take a while.
00:18:12And now it's a moment.
00:18:13I think he's going to take the day off.
00:18:16You know what?
00:18:17This was boring.
00:18:18I can't be, but...
00:18:20I went to take a while or a place.
00:18:21I hope...
00:18:22Because he's going to aren't going to be pretty well.
00:18:23Oh, you can't be better.
00:18:24You know what I will.
00:18:25Okay, Mr. Gart, love is in the air, let's see what happens next.
00:18:40Good morning, Carolyn.
00:18:55Sure.
00:18:57Okay, okay.
00:19:01Here we go.
00:19:04Oh, you too.
00:19:09Sorry?
00:19:10No, don't pay any attention to me, I just love watching the two of you together.
00:19:14It's so cute.
00:19:16Uh, thanks?
00:19:18Thanks.
00:19:19So adorable.
00:19:23This is gonna be easier than I want.
00:19:26What do you know about Doug and Trina?
00:19:28And a happy good morning to you too.
00:19:30You know the sound man and my makeup girl?
00:19:32I know who they are, I'm just surprised that you do.
00:19:34Tell me a little about them.
00:19:36They're good kids, hard workers.
00:19:38He wants to be a director and I think she wants to open a day spa.
00:19:42Well, she mostly seems interested in finding a boyfriend.
00:19:44Oh, really?
00:19:46Yeah, why the sudden interest?
00:19:48Oh, nothing, just a new resolution of mine, trying to get to know the crew a little bit better.
00:19:52Really?
00:19:53Why does that surprise you?
00:19:54Because until now I didn't think you realized that we had a crew.
00:19:57Trina, let me ask you something.
00:20:07Sure, Miss Lovett.
00:20:09Oh, please, dispense with the formalities.
00:20:11Call me Eve.
00:20:12Okay, Eve.
00:20:14Tell me about your love life.
00:20:16My what?
00:20:17You know, what kind of guys do you like?
00:20:20Um, I don't know, it kind of varies.
00:20:23Yeah?
00:20:24Well, what about someone like Doug?
00:20:26What do you think of him?
00:20:28Um, Doug's awesome.
00:20:30Awesome?
00:20:31Oh, well that's good.
00:20:32So, you'd say that you were attracted to him?
00:20:36Um, I don't know, I never really thought about it.
00:20:39You'd love a show, 15 minute studio call.
00:20:4215 minutes.
00:20:43Think about it.
00:20:54Hey, where you been?
00:20:55We're ready to roll.
00:20:56I know.
00:20:57I, um, I have a problem with my mic.
00:21:02Doug.
00:21:03Hey, honey.
00:21:04I'm having a little problem with my mic.
00:21:06Could you take a peek at that for me, please?
00:21:08I just love it, no problem.
00:21:09Don't call me Eve.
00:21:10Really?
00:21:11Absolutely.
00:21:12That's what all my friends call me.
00:21:15Eve.
00:21:16For instance, uh, Trina.
00:21:19Over there, Trina.
00:21:20She's my really good old friend.
00:21:23She's been with me, like, 12 weeks now.
00:21:27Yeah?
00:21:28Mm-hmm.
00:21:29We talk.
00:21:31Talk about things, like, our careers, travel, guys.
00:21:37Guys.
00:21:38That's nice.
00:21:39I shouldn't be telling you this, but, um, she told me that she likes you.
00:21:48She does?
00:21:49Mm-hmm.
00:21:50I don't know.
00:21:51I don't know.
00:21:52In fact, she used the word awesome.
00:21:55That's really nice of her.
00:21:56Trina's single, you know.
00:21:57Right, no.
00:21:58I understand.
00:21:59Eve.
00:22:00Places?
00:22:07Food for thought.
00:22:08Hi, everyone, and welcome to the Eve Lovett Show.
00:22:19I'm your host, Eve Lovett.
00:22:23Hey, Valentine's Day is coming, and we are going to celebrate it with a very special week on our show that we like to call Eve's Week of Love.
00:22:30Cue the insulin.
00:22:31And what better way to kick things off in true Valentine fashion than a visit from our favorite celebrity chef, Antonio Capricola.
00:22:43Ciao, Antonio!
00:22:44Cara, it's such a wonderful time of the year, so full of love and romance.
00:22:50Oh, it sure is.
00:22:51What are you going to make for us today?
00:22:53When I think of Valentine's Day, I always think of chocolate.
00:22:56Mmm.
00:22:57So, I am making a wonderful old Italian recipe for hot chocolato!
00:23:05Oh, it smells heavenly.
00:23:06Wait until you taste it.
00:23:12Ooh.
00:23:14Oh!
00:23:15That is amazing!
00:23:16Glazzi!
00:23:17See, see, see, see.
00:23:19Is it true what they say about chocolate being a love potion?
00:23:22That's what the ancients believed, and if it was good enough for them, it's good enough for me.
00:23:28Well, let's put it to the test, shall we?
00:23:31Where's Trina?
00:23:32Honey?
00:23:33Trina, come on up here.
00:23:34And Doug?
00:23:35You, too.
00:23:36Come on up here.
00:23:37Ladies and gentlemen, give a warm round of applause for our brilliant sound man, Doug, and my personal makeup artist, Trina.
00:23:44What's she doing?
00:23:45Uh, camera one, go for Trina.
00:23:47Three, take Doug.
00:23:52Come on, put that thing down.
00:23:53Come up here, you two.
00:23:54Wait until you try this.
00:23:55It is absolutely delicious.
00:23:56Give that a shot there.
00:23:57Here we go.
00:23:58Huh?
00:23:59What do you think?
00:24:00Wow.
00:24:01Yum.
00:24:02Yes, yes, yes.
00:24:03You're going to have to tell us if it really works.
00:24:04You, too, have been such good sports that I would like to offer you dinner for two at Mauro Ristorante, one of the most romantic spots in town.
00:24:09That is for you.
00:24:10Happy Valentine's week, everyone.
00:24:11One more round of applause for these two kids.
00:24:12They make the most adorable couple.
00:24:13All right, we'll be back.
00:24:15You two have been such good sports that I would like to offer you dinner for two at Mauro
00:24:22Ristorante one of the most romantic spots in town that is for you
00:24:30Happy Valentine's week everyone one more round of applause for these two kids. They make the most adorable
00:24:45Eve can I have a word with you in private? I haven't got much time. Won't take a minute
00:24:58What was with that stunt you pulled this afternoon? What stunt dragging Doug and Trina up on stage
00:25:02What did you think we're doing? Oh, you said it was love week
00:25:04I just thought maybe watching two people fall for each other was a good way to start fall for each other
00:25:08Mm-hmm. I've had my eye on those two. There's definitely something going on between them
00:25:12I was just giving them a little nudge is all a little nudge
00:25:15They were eventually gonna get together. I just thought I'd speed things up. Well, you sure did Eve
00:25:20Do you know Doug's engaged what to Maureen who's Maureen the props girl?
00:25:25I thought her name was Alice the point you just set up her fiance on a date with another woman. Oh, no
00:25:31Why didn't I know those two were engaged? Maybe they didn't realize they had to clear it with you first
00:25:35That's not what I meant. I gotta go talk to them. No, you've done enough damage already. Hey, that's not fair
00:25:41I was trying to do a nice thing. I know that the next time you decide to behave like a human being. Give me a heads up, okay?
00:25:48Heads up
00:25:54Thanks
00:25:59Not as easy as it looks, huh?
00:26:01Have you been here this whole time long enough?
00:26:04Here have a bon-bon I find chocolate takes the sting off failure
00:26:10All right
00:26:11Yeah
00:26:13They were so perfect for each other
00:26:17Were they really or were you just trying too hard?
00:26:22Maybe you're right. Of course, I'm right
00:26:24This is my area of expertise. Well, then give me some tips
00:26:28Oh, okay. Well, first off
00:26:30What do you really know about Doug and Trina?
00:26:34Well, they're really good kids
00:26:36Doug wants to be a director
00:26:38And Trina
00:26:40What are their last names?
00:26:41Either one
00:26:42I don't know
00:26:43Where are they from?
00:26:44I don't know
00:26:46What are their hopes?
00:26:48Their dreams?
00:26:49Their disappointments?
00:26:50I do not know
00:26:52I do not know
00:26:53Exactly
00:26:54The only thing you do know is what Rick told you about
00:26:58I really do know everything, don't you?
00:27:00Not everything
00:27:02Just enough
00:27:03Here
00:27:04Have another bon-bon
00:27:07See
00:27:08You won't be able to help anyone fall in love
00:27:11Including yourself
00:27:12Until you find out what really makes people tick
00:27:15How am I supposed to do that?
00:27:17Just listen
00:27:18Just listen
00:27:19Let someone else talk once in a while
00:27:21Take an interest in somebody
00:27:24Other than yourself
00:27:28Alright, maybe I'll try
00:27:30Better do more than that
00:27:32You only got three days left until Valentine's
00:27:38But what?
00:27:43But the normal coffee address wasn't right
00:27:45And he did like
00:27:46Hi
00:27:49Nail's here
00:27:51Yes, I can see that
00:27:53Well, I guess I better get back to work
00:27:55Place pretty much shuts down without me
00:27:56Nice to see you, Miss Lovett
00:27:57Rita
00:27:58See you around
00:27:59Oh, Miss Lovett
00:28:12Yes?
00:28:13I was just wondering if I could leave a little bit early tonight
00:28:14I have a game
00:28:15A game?
00:28:16A game?
00:28:17Yeah, I coach a girls basketball team
00:28:18I did not know that
00:28:19Well, I didn't think it would interest you
00:28:20No, you're right
00:28:21Rita, are you single?
00:28:22Unfortunately, yes
00:28:23Nothing on the horizons?
00:28:24No secret boyfriends I should know about?
00:28:25Nope, not a one
00:28:26Good
00:28:27I'm sorry?
00:28:28How would you like a little company at your game tonight?
00:28:30How would you like a little company at your game tonight?
00:28:31We'll sneak in a little girl talk
00:28:33Oh, her pay tacks
00:28:34Oh, here we go
00:28:35Get ready, girls
00:28:36So, tell me about the, uh...
00:28:54Oh, here we go
00:28:56Get ready, girls
00:28:59So, tell me about the, uh, guy in the mailroom.
00:29:05Ben?
00:29:05Mm-hmm.
00:29:06What about him?
00:29:07Oh, come on.
00:29:08I see your face light up when he comes into a room.
00:29:11Nobody gets that excited about mail.
00:29:13Oh.
00:29:14Is that obvious?
00:29:14Slightly.
00:29:16Do you ever, you know, do you ever think about, you know, you and him?
00:29:21Together?
00:29:22Oh, no.
00:29:23I couldn't.
00:29:24I mean, I see him at work every day, but I don't really know much about him.
00:29:29Well, is he single?
00:29:31Yes.
00:29:32Well, you have that in common.
00:29:34Come on, what else?
00:29:35I know he likes the Lakers, almost, as much as I do.
00:29:39All right, perfect.
00:29:41What's stopping you, girl?
00:29:43Oh, Miss Lovett.
00:29:44I mean, Eve.
00:29:46I'd be too scared to even think about it.
00:29:49I mean, I wouldn't even know how to start.
00:29:52Oh.
00:29:53You may not have to worry about that.
00:29:55No, what do you mean?
00:29:57I don't know.
00:29:57Well, fate may lend a hand.
00:30:03Come on.
00:30:05Coming.
00:30:06I'm...
00:30:07Here I go.
00:30:08I have a very important question to ask you.
00:30:17Eve, come on in.
00:30:19Tell me, was it one guy who ruined it for the rest of us, or did you just sort of hate the
00:30:23whole species on principle?
00:30:25Oh, right.
00:30:27Oh, am I interrupting anything?
00:30:29Just sleep, Eve.
00:30:30What can I do for you?
00:30:31Okay, Lakers.
00:30:34Basketball, right?
00:30:35You're kidding.
00:30:36No, I just, I get mixed up.
00:30:38Why the sudden interest in sports?
00:30:39Oh, well, I was out tonight with Rita.
00:30:42Your assistant?
00:30:43Yeah, why does that surprise you?
00:30:44Well, considering for the first eight weeks you knew her, you called her Brenda.
00:30:47So we were out, and we were talking about what huge fans of the Lakers we were.
00:30:51Well, a second ago you didn't even know what sport they played.
00:30:53I told you I'd get confused.
00:30:55I want to take Rita to one of those Lakers matches.
00:30:59They're called games?
00:31:00Games, right.
00:31:02Um, so do you just go there and get a ticket, or do you have to phone ahead and make a reservation?
00:31:10I'm going to take care of this for you through the company.
00:31:13Really?
00:31:13Yeah, I don't want you to have to go through all the trouble of phoning ahead and making
00:31:16a reservation, so I will get the tickets, and I will drop them off at your office tomorrow
00:31:20morning.
00:31:20Oh, you're a lifesaver.
00:31:22So, what's this all about, anyway?
00:31:25What do you mean?
00:31:26Well, obviously you're up to something, and I'm just curious what it is.
00:31:30You're a very suspicious man with Dayton.
00:31:33That's not attractive.
00:31:38Hey.
00:31:40Wow.
00:31:47Good morning, Carolyn.
00:31:50Good morning, Ben.
00:32:06Miss Lovett.
00:32:07Miss Lovett.
00:32:10What are you doing here?
00:32:12Did I do something wrong?
00:32:13No, absolutely not.
00:32:15Quite the contrary.
00:32:16I came down to tell you what a good job you've been doing.
00:32:19Oh.
00:32:21Thanks.
00:32:23Hmm.
00:32:23I was out with my assistant, Rita, last night.
00:32:27You know Rita, my assistant?
00:32:29Sure.
00:32:31We went to one of her games.
00:32:33She coaches a girls' basketball team.
00:32:35Did you know that?
00:32:36I did not know that.
00:32:37Yeah.
00:32:38She really loves her basketball, that Rita.
00:32:40Really into it.
00:32:41You're into basketball, too, aren't you, Ben?
00:32:43Uh, yeah.
00:32:44Actually, I'm a pretty big Lakers fan.
00:32:46Oh.
00:32:46Ah, that's right.
00:32:47She, she actually mentioned that.
00:32:50She did?
00:32:51Talked quite a bit about you last night.
00:32:53Really?
00:32:54Mm-hmm.
00:32:57Ben, could you do me a small favor?
00:33:00Anything, Miss Lovett.
00:33:01All right.
00:33:01I have a package that absolutely has to go out this morning.
00:33:05So if you could meet me in my office in about, uh, ten minutes?
00:33:10Yeah, no problem.
00:33:11All right.
00:33:12Ten minutes.
00:33:13Don't be late.
00:33:24Miss Lovett?
00:33:25Good morning, Alice.
00:33:26It's Maureen.
00:33:27Maureen.
00:33:28Maureen.
00:33:29Do you have a second?
00:33:30Certainly.
00:33:31Yes, absolutely.
00:33:33It's about you paying for dinner for Trina and my fiancée last night.
00:33:36That.
00:33:37I am so, so sorry.
00:33:38It was just a, a terrible misunderstanding.
00:33:42Maureen, I am sick about it.
00:33:44I, I would like to make it up to you somehow.
00:33:47Perhaps if I, um, could buy dinner for you and Doug.
00:33:51Oh, no, I don't think so.
00:33:52Well, please.
00:33:53I, I, it would make me feel so much better.
00:33:55No, I mean, dinner would be great, but not with Doug.
00:33:58Beg your pardon?
00:33:58He and Trina stayed out all night.
00:34:00Oh.
00:34:01Oh.
00:34:02Oh.
00:34:02Oh, no.
00:34:03You actually did me a really big favor, though, you know?
00:34:06You showed me what kind of guy Doug really is.
00:34:08To think I almost married that creep.
00:34:10Thanks, Miss Lovett.
00:34:13Sure.
00:34:14Oh.
00:34:15All right.
00:34:17Okay, could you give these to her when she gets in, please?
00:34:19But listen.
00:34:19I'm here, I'm here, I'm here, I'm here.
00:34:21Hi.
00:34:22Morning, Miss Lovett.
00:34:22Eve.
00:34:23Sorry, I'm still getting used to that.
00:34:24Get used to it.
00:34:24This is your lucky day.
00:34:25Oh, don't I know it.
00:34:26Come on.
00:34:27Get in.
00:34:29Rita, I'm expecting a very important package this morning,
00:34:32so I need you to stay right there at your desk.
00:34:34Understand?
00:34:34Do not leave your desk.
00:34:36Got it.
00:34:40Okay.
00:34:41Hi.
00:34:41Hi.
00:34:42Are those my tickets?
00:34:44Yes.
00:34:45Took all my charm and powers of persuasion,
00:34:47but you are now the proud owner of two luxury box seats
00:34:50for tonight's Lakers Celtics game.
00:34:52Is that good?
00:34:53Eve, most people would give their firstborn child for those tickets.
00:34:55Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:34:59You're welcome, welcome.
00:35:07So, um, you want to tell me what's going on?
00:35:10I don't know what you mean.
00:35:12I mean why a woman who previously had absolutely zero interest
00:35:16in any sport other than a pedicure is suddenly a Lakers fan.
00:35:19Hi, Ben.
00:35:21Hi, Rita.
00:35:22He's here.
00:35:23Who's here?
00:35:25Can't you do anything right?
00:35:28What?
00:35:28I told you I wanted these tickets for tomorrow night.
00:35:31You didn't say anything like that.
00:35:32This is great.
00:35:33This is just great.
00:35:35Was something wrong?
00:35:36Something?
00:35:37Everything.
00:35:38I asked my producer here to get me tickets for tomorrow night's Lakers-Cedrics game.
00:35:42I think you mean Celtics.
00:35:43And instead, he got me two luxury boxcars for tonight's game,
00:35:48and he knows that I have a conflict.
00:35:50I do?
00:35:50Yes, you do.
00:35:51You know that I have the thing with those people.
00:35:53What people?
00:35:54It doesn't matter now, because the point is, I cannot go to the match.
00:35:58Game.
00:35:58I can't go to either one.
00:35:59What am I supposed to do with these tickets?
00:36:01Well, look, I'll just do...
00:36:02Oh, God!
00:36:03Oh, my...
00:36:04I have just had the most brilliant idea.
00:36:07Oh, I'm good.
00:36:07Rita, would you be a doll and take these tickets off my hands?
00:36:11I would love to.
00:36:12Okay, now, there's just one problem, is there are two tickets,
00:36:17and it's awfully late notice to try to find somebody else to be in the other seat.
00:36:23What about...
00:36:24Hmm...
00:36:25How about you, Ben?
00:36:27You wouldn't be interested in going to the game, would you?
00:36:30Are you kidding?
00:36:31I would...
00:36:31Okay, Rita, how do you feel about Ben going with you to the game?
00:36:35No.
00:36:36I mean, yes, yes.
00:36:37Really?
00:36:37I mean, because that would be amazing.
00:36:38All right, look at what I just did.
00:36:40It's settled, then.
00:36:41All right, now, why don't you two take a nice coffee break and iron out all the details,
00:36:47and...
00:36:47Oh, I just had another brilliant idea.
00:36:49How about this?
00:36:49After the game, dinner at Malrose, on me.
00:36:52Okay, this is officially the greatest day of my life.
00:36:55And it's still early, so go on, you two.
00:36:57Scoot.
00:36:58You crazy kids.
00:37:00Crazy kids.
00:37:01Yeah, so you don't really have a conflict tonight.
00:37:03Well, that's a matter of opinion now, isn't it?
00:37:07Okay, this average day just turned into the best day ever.
00:37:10Oh, okay.
00:37:11After the game, it's the best day.
00:37:13Yours is actually.
00:37:15Yeah.
00:37:15Well, that was a little while.
00:37:31Okay, cool.
00:38:01I was just, um, just checking the plants, so it's good.
00:38:31I know, I know.
00:38:38That's awesome.
00:38:39I hear fish is back.
00:38:41Well, yeah, hopefully I can...
00:39:01Should I, I'm just gonna...
00:39:07Oh, I'm on my...
00:39:10Yes!
00:39:14Um, but, um...
00:39:16Yeah, this way.
00:39:17Yeah.
00:39:18No, you're gonna miss me.
00:39:26Hi.
00:39:28I was just checking all the plants and the...
00:39:32Oh, this whole, this whole thing looks really good, so...
00:39:37Carry on.
00:39:50I did it.
00:39:52I really did it.
00:39:55You?
00:39:56Yes.
00:39:57Yes.
00:39:59Is everything okay?
00:40:00Everything is perfect.
00:40:03Vernon.
00:40:04How'd you guess?
00:40:06Because no one sent me roses in a hundred years.
00:40:07Oh, that's sad.
00:40:08Pity I have to take them back.
00:40:09What?
00:40:10Why?
00:40:11Well, they're from the head office.
00:40:12To congratulate you on the successful completion of your assignment.
00:40:14Then why don't I get to keep them?
00:40:15Because you aren't done yet.
00:40:16Oh, but you are mistaken, my friend.
00:40:18Come here.
00:40:19I gotta show you something.
00:40:21Come here.
00:40:22I gotta show you something.
00:40:23Huh?
00:40:24Huh?
00:40:25Huh?
00:40:26Huh?
00:40:27Looks like love to me.
00:40:28Oh, it is.
00:40:29I've checked out their paperwork already and they're a perfect match.
00:40:30Congratulations.
00:40:31So why are you saying I'm not a good point in the day of the work?
00:40:32It's not good.
00:40:33Well, you're the good one.
00:40:34Yeah, you're the good one.
00:40:35Give your help to the sit in the room.
00:40:36I'm sure you're the good ones.
00:40:37You are the good ones.
00:40:38Yeah.
00:40:39You're good.
00:40:40Oh, see.
00:40:41aren't done yet. Oh, but you are mistaken, my friend. Come here, I gotta show you something.
00:40:51Huh? Huh? Looks like love to me. Oh, it is. I've checked out their paperwork already,
00:40:57and they're a perfect match. Congratulations. So why are you saying I'm not done? Come over here.
00:41:02Maureen's not happy. Uh-oh. Needless to say, the engagement's off. And unfortunately,
00:41:18company policy says that this one cancels out the other one, so I'm sorry, but you're back at zero
00:41:24again. That's not fair. No one said love is fair. Here. Why don't you keep on? Why? To remind me
00:41:32that I'm a failure. Now, now. There's no time to feel sorry for yourself. You've only got two days
00:41:38left. Love's a-waiting. But, Vernon, can I at least... Vernon?
00:41:50Good night, Miss Lovett. Oh, good night, Vince. That's Vance. But you're real close, though. Oh,
00:42:06starting to realize close doesn't count. Rough day, huh? It shows. This whole, uh, Valentine's thing got
00:42:13figured out. How'd you know? It has that effect on us single people.
00:42:20You're single? Guilty as charged, yeah. Oh. You, uh, seeing anyone? No, I actually give up on that
00:42:31whole dating scene. Come on. You? Please, what happened? It's a long story. You wouldn't want to hear it.
00:42:41Try me.
00:42:46Eve, I thought we agreed you were going to run this kind of thing by me first. There wasn't time.
00:42:50It's fresh. It's original. It's exactly what I've been talking about. Trust me, there isn't going to
00:42:55be a dry eye in the house. I just have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach about this. Yeah?
00:43:00Ask the nurse for some bromo. We have a show to do.
00:43:03Hi there. Welcome back to the Eve Lovett Show, and we have a very special segment for our Valentine's
00:43:15week called Cupid at Large. Our guest today is one of our very own staff members, Vance Freiman.
00:43:22Welcome him, everybody. Is this a handsome gentleman or what?
00:43:30Camera two, push in on the hump.
00:43:33I know how to pick him.
00:43:35So welcome, Vance. Listen, I'm going to jump right in.
00:43:39Okay?
00:43:40You're nearing 40, and, uh, you're not married. Um, what's the deal? You gun shy?
00:43:47No, actually, you're not at all. The truth is I just haven't met that person that I want
00:43:54to spend the rest of my life with.
00:43:55Oh, well, and why do you think that is?
00:43:58Um, because none of them were Laura.
00:44:02I see. Uh, why don't you let the audience know who Laura is?
00:44:08Sure. Um, Laura was, uh, she was the first girl I ever kissed.
00:44:12She was my first love.
00:44:17And would you go so far as to say perhaps that she was your only love all these years?
00:44:22Oh, yeah, definitely. Absolutely.
00:44:24And why aren't the two of you together?
00:44:26Well, Eve, uh, to be honest with you, I've wanted nothing more than that, but...
00:44:32See, Laura and I were, uh, high school sweethearts.
00:44:34Oh.
00:44:35And I knew the moment I met her that she was my soulmate.
00:44:38Now, you seem pretty sure of that.
00:44:40Well, I was. And I am still, even to this day.
00:44:45The problem is, is that for some reason her father disapproved of me.
00:44:49So we, of course, snuck around him at times so we could see each other, but to no avail,
00:44:53he, uh, finally just moved the whole family out of state.
00:44:56Just to keep the two of you apart.
00:44:58I mean, I tried to keep in touch with, with Laura over the years by sending her letters,
00:45:02but, uh, my letters were always returned address unknown.
00:45:06So sad.
00:45:07Yeah. I spent the last 20 years trying to find her, but...
00:45:11No luck?
00:45:11No.
00:45:12No, unfortunately she, uh, it's like she just disappeared.
00:45:15Well, what would you say, Vance, if I told you that we found her?
00:45:21I'm sorry, what?
00:45:22That's right. You're Laura.
00:45:24Are you serious?
00:45:25I am serious.
00:45:26Our crack research team has tracked her down.
00:45:32You gotta think, this is incredible.
00:45:33No, it gets better.
00:45:35She feels the same way that you do.
00:45:37You are the one great love of her life.
00:45:40I can't believe this is happening.
00:45:41Wait till you hear this.
00:45:42What?
00:45:42We have brought her here today to get the two of you reunited.
00:45:49What?
00:45:50She's here.
00:45:51She's here.
00:45:52Ooh.
00:45:54She's here.
00:45:55Keep that applause going.
00:45:56Ladies and gentlemen, give a warm EVE show welcome to Ms. Laura Wilson.
00:46:00Hello, Vance.
00:46:11What?
00:46:11Come on, Romeo.
00:46:13Don't be shy.
00:46:13Get over there.
00:46:14No, no, that's not, that's not Laura.
00:46:15That's Dee Dee.
00:46:16This woman has been stalking me for two years now.
00:46:19What?
00:46:20This is gonna be good.
00:46:21It's been a long time, Vance.
00:46:22Actually, not long enough.
00:46:23Is this true?
00:46:24Yeah, it's true.
00:46:25She's been charged twice for identity theft, haven't you?
00:46:28That's just because I needed to see you.
00:46:30No.
00:46:30Stay away from me.
00:46:31Don't come near me.
00:46:31Follow them, camera three.
00:46:33Two, stay with the psycho.
00:46:34You know, I have a restraining order.
00:46:36That's silly little thing.
00:46:38No, the police.
00:46:39Call the police right now.
00:46:40Right now.
00:46:41Okay.
00:46:43Laura, Dee Dee, whatever.
00:46:46We can talk about this like rational adults, security.
00:46:49Oh, then we're supposed to be together?
00:46:51You know, we wouldn't be together forever.
00:46:54What?
00:46:55Man, don't make me.
00:46:56Ladies and gentlemen, it appears that our research team
00:46:59has made a little mistake.
00:47:02Hold on to her, please.
00:47:03You know I hate yellow teeth.
00:47:06Don't let her go.
00:47:07Get her out of my life.
00:47:09Eve.
00:47:10We'll be back.
00:47:12Right after these messages.
00:47:17Rick.
00:47:19Rick.
00:47:19Rick.
00:47:20I'm sorry.
00:47:46You know what?
00:47:50I think you really mean that.
00:47:56Don't worry.
00:47:57We'll make it up in the live broadcast.
00:47:58Really think so?
00:47:59Yeah.
00:48:01I have faith in our host.
00:48:02You know, I really thought you had that one.
00:48:29Could you at least honk or something?
00:48:32Sorry.
00:48:34And that was not my fault.
00:48:36Mm, in a way it sort of was.
00:48:38What am I supposed to do?
00:48:40I have 24 hours before, according to you,
00:48:43I lose any chance I'll ever have at finding love.
00:48:46Precisely.
00:48:47So stop wasting your time looking at the petals.
00:48:50You're missing the rose.
00:48:52What does that even mean, Vernon?
00:48:59Vernon?
00:49:03Stop doing that!
00:49:06Vernon?
00:49:12Vernon?
00:49:13Vernon?
00:49:13You all right, Carolyn?
00:49:22Oh.
00:49:23Oh, yeah.
00:49:25Everything's just sunshine and buttercups.
00:49:28Okay.
00:49:30And it's Janice.
00:49:33Excuse me?
00:49:35My name is Janice.
00:49:39Not that it really matters.
00:49:41I'm just the receptionist, right?
00:49:45It matters.
00:49:47It matters.
00:49:50Thanks.
00:49:56You want to talk about it?
00:49:59What, this?
00:50:00It's just allergies.
00:50:02I'm allergic to broken hearts.
00:50:04No, who isn't?
00:50:07Can I show you something?
00:50:11Oh, he's cute.
00:50:19Look at him.
00:50:20Oh.
00:50:21What's his name?
00:50:22Gus.
00:50:23Gus.
00:50:24He's probably the best friend I've ever had.
00:50:27Well, I'd like to meet him sometime.
00:50:29I wish you could, but, uh, I had to put him to sleep last night.
00:50:35Oh, I'm sorry.
00:50:37That's terrible.
00:50:38Oh, you probably think this is pretty stupid, me hiding out in here.
00:50:44I just...
00:50:46I couldn't get through the day.
00:50:49It's not stupid.
00:50:50Well, it's just, you know, sometimes it's hard for someone like me.
00:50:55Love doesn't come along every day, and...
00:50:58But with Gus...
00:51:00Just having him around, he seemed to take the loneliness away a little bit.
00:51:04Miss Lovett, call me Eve.
00:51:21Okay, Eve.
00:51:23Yes?
00:51:25If you ever tell anybody about this...
00:51:27I'll deck you.
00:51:29Yeah.
00:51:29Vance!
00:51:39Vance!
00:51:42See it, the police have the tape.
00:51:45Someone in your audience had a cell phone camera.
00:51:47It's gone viral.
00:51:48Oh, no.
00:51:50Oh, yes.
00:51:50You've had half a million hits.
00:51:52You're an internet sensation.
00:51:55I don't feel very sensational.
00:51:57What's the matter now?
00:51:59You wouldn't believe it if I told you.
00:52:01I bet I can guess.
00:52:02It's about Valentine's Day, isn't it?
00:52:04In a way?
00:52:05I knew it.
00:52:05You're feeling the clock ticking, aren't you?
00:52:08What?
00:52:08You've come to a point in your life when you realize you've cut yourself off from love.
00:52:12Nancy, that's ridiculous.
00:52:14And you feel if you don't reach out and grab it, you may never have the chance again.
00:52:18Hey, let me ask you something.
00:52:19If you know so much about relationships, why are you still single?
00:52:22Personal choice.
00:52:22I'm not ready to settle for second best.
00:52:25Oh, and you're saying I should?
00:52:26I'm saying because of a few bad experiences, you have let life pass you by.
00:52:32You need to open yourself up.
00:52:34Let love in.
00:52:36Yeah.
00:52:37Hey, Nance, I've got to call you back.
00:52:40What?
00:52:40But we were just about to make a breakthrough.
00:52:43Oh, I've got to go see a man about a dog.
00:52:46Eve, a dog is not a replacement for a man.
00:52:49As a rule.
00:52:56That's a very nice thing you're doing, Miss Lovett.
00:52:58Please, call me Eve.
00:53:00Well, how about you call me Harvey, then?
00:53:02You got a deal, Harvey.
00:53:04Yeah.
00:53:05The day you lose a dog is a bad day, any way you look at it.
00:53:08You know, a lot of people never get over it.
00:53:10They go through the rest of their lives with this canine-shaped hole in them.
00:53:15That's why what you're doing for this lady, trying to find one that fills the space, shows
00:53:20that you're a very good friend to have.
00:53:22Oh, Harvey, I haven't been much of a friend.
00:53:24That's why I'm trying to make up for it.
00:53:25Well, it's a great place to start.
00:53:27As my wife used to say, we should all aspire to be the kinds of people that our dogs think
00:53:32we are.
00:53:32Your wife's a smart lady.
00:53:34She gave me my first dog, Mutt, named Tom, and it led me to this place, and it's interesting
00:53:40because it's hard sometimes.
00:53:42People can be very cruel, but then someone like you comes along and makes it all worthwhile.
00:53:48Now, this is the fellow I was telling you about.
00:53:51He's not a purebred, as you can see.
00:53:53A little bit of this, a little bit of that, but a whole lot of love.
00:53:57What do you think?
00:53:59Harvey, I will be right back.
00:54:04Fingers crossed, huh?
00:54:07Eve, I told you, I'm not ready for this.
00:54:10It's just too soon.
00:54:11I understand.
00:54:12Just humor me.
00:54:13It'll only take a minute, okay?
00:54:15Come on.
00:54:16Get ready.
00:54:18Janice, I would like for you to meet...
00:54:26Harvey?
00:54:27You know him?
00:54:28J.C.
00:54:29Harvey Midford?
00:54:31I don't believe it.
00:54:32Is that really you?
00:54:33In the flesh.
00:54:34There's a little more flesh than the last time you saw me, but...
00:54:37How do you two know each other?
00:54:39We went to high school together.
00:54:41We were quite a hot item back in the day when dinosaurs ruled the earth.
00:54:45As I remember, I wasn't your only hot item.
00:54:48Harvey was a bit of a ladies' man at school.
00:54:50Can't blame the girls for having good taste.
00:54:52And one of them got you, too.
00:54:55How is Alice?
00:54:57She passed.
00:54:59Twelve years ago.
00:55:01I'm sorry.
00:55:02I thank my lucky stars every day for having known her.
00:55:06And now I get to work with these guys.
00:55:08So this is the little fella you wanted me to see.
00:55:12What's his name?
00:55:13Uh, doesn't have one.
00:55:14You want to name him?
00:55:17I don't know.
00:55:20I can't replace Gus.
00:55:22She wouldn't be replacing Gus.
00:55:24It's just something new.
00:55:26Besides, everybody deserves a fresh start.
00:55:28Every now and then.
00:55:29Well, that was certainly unexpected.
00:55:51Hey, what does the head office think of that now, huh?
00:55:53Oh, the head office definitely improves.
00:55:55They are absolutely perfect for each other.
00:55:57Yes!
00:55:58So, do I get my flowers now?
00:56:00Nope.
00:56:01What?
00:56:02I'm sorry, Eve, but the rules are very clear.
00:56:04You must do the matchmaking yourself.
00:56:06But I brought her here.
00:56:08To get a dog.
00:56:09Plus, those two have been in love with each other since they were kids.
00:56:12Life just got in the way, that's all.
00:56:14Had nothing to do with you.
00:56:15You can't do this.
00:56:17I only have one day left.
00:56:18I'm sorry, Eve, but rules are rules.
00:56:20Since when does love have rules?
00:56:22Well, maybe you should ask yourself the same question.
00:56:25What does that even mean?
00:56:26You're the one who won't allow herself to get close to anyone just because she's been hurt a few times in the past.
00:56:32Now, isn't that a rule?
00:56:33No, that's completely different.
00:56:35I am protecting myself.
00:56:36Because you're afraid.
00:56:39Love isn't for sissies, Eve.
00:56:40Oh, I heard that the first time.
00:56:42And this is the last.
00:56:43That's it.
00:56:44I quit.
00:56:44Now, Eve.
00:56:45Oh, don't now, Eve, me.
00:56:48I did everything right.
00:56:50I found those couples and I put them together and I bought them dinners and tickets and I even got shots for that dog.
00:56:58I think after all that, I deserve a little love.
00:57:00No one deserves love, Eve.
00:57:02It's not a prize.
00:57:04It's a gift.
00:57:06You know what?
00:57:07I don't want either one.
00:57:09Goodbye, Vernon.
00:57:10And if I never see you again, which I sincerely hope is the case,
00:57:15happy Valentine's Day.
00:57:16Good to see you, Miss Lovett.
00:57:47Oh, get a room.
00:57:57Good evening, Miss Lovett.
00:57:59Good evening, Lily.
00:58:00Your table is ready and your champagne is on ice.
00:58:05My champagne?
00:58:12I didn't order champagne, Lily.
00:58:14No, the champagne comes.
00:58:16Compliments of the lady at the bar.
00:58:30Well, at least somebody's having a good time.
00:58:40Hey.
00:58:41Hey.
00:58:44I didn't know you were...
00:58:46I don't want to bother you, Jeff.
00:58:48Can I get a table, Louie?
00:58:49Don't be ridiculous.
00:58:50Join me.
00:58:52You sure?
00:58:53Please.
00:58:57Besides, I can't finish this entire bottle of champagne by myself.
00:59:01Well.
00:59:02Not the kind of offer I can refuse.
00:59:05Yeah.
00:59:06Producing television was pretty much the last thing I ever thought I'd wind up doing.
00:59:10What'd you want to do?
00:59:11I promise you won't laugh.
00:59:12Oh, I can't promise anything of the sort.
00:59:17I, uh, want to be a writer.
00:59:20Not laughing?
00:59:21No, not yet.
00:59:22A serious writer.
00:59:23A great American novel.
00:59:25Laugh any time, no.
00:59:28There's just one problem.
00:59:29What was that?
00:59:31No talent.
00:59:31I seriously doubt that.
00:59:34Well, maybe a little, but not enough.
00:59:37And when I realized it wasn't going to be great, I thought, why even bother, you know?
00:59:41I mean, I don't know if that sounds childish.
00:59:42It doesn't sound childish at all.
00:59:45I felt the same way.
00:59:47I don't know you want to be a writer.
00:59:48Well, nothing as grand as the great American novel.
00:59:53But I did major in journalism in college, and, you know, I thought by now I would have
00:59:59this very serious column in the Times, you know, tackling the important issues and helping
01:00:06people.
01:00:06No, you're not writing, but isn't that kind of what you're doing now?
01:00:12Hardly.
01:00:13Sometimes I feel more like a ringmaster at a circus.
01:00:18Yeah, but you're a very good ringmaster.
01:00:22Is that a compliment, Mr. Dayton?
01:00:25Hey, you're catching on.
01:00:30It was, yeah.
01:00:34Looks like we shut the place down.
01:00:36Yeah, so?
01:00:39Quiet night, huh?
01:00:42Mm-hmm.
01:00:48Rick?
01:00:48Eve?
01:00:51Go ahead.
01:00:52No, you go.
01:00:55I just wanted to say that, um, you look beautiful tonight.
01:01:00Come on.
01:01:01You've seen this dress I wore on the show.
01:01:04I don't mean the dress.
01:01:05I mean you.
01:01:07There's something different.
01:01:09You're, um, glowing, or something.
01:01:13Um, maybe it's the lighting.
01:01:17Eve, it's not the lighting.
01:01:19That was definitely a compliment.
01:01:21Yes, it was.
01:01:23Okay.
01:01:24It was.
01:01:25Well.
01:01:34What's up?
01:01:34Oh, I am so sorry.
01:02:04My fault.
01:02:06I, my, my, my.
01:02:07No, I shouldn't have.
01:02:08No, don't, don't, don't blame yourself.
01:02:10That was, um, really inappropriate.
01:02:13Very unprofessional.
01:02:15Um, yeah.
01:02:16Um, okay.
01:02:18Okay, so, I'm gonna go.
01:02:22Me too.
01:02:23Uh, goodnight.
01:02:26Goodnight.
01:02:30Goodnight.
01:02:31Goodnight.
01:02:45Goodnight.
01:02:46Good morning, Eve.
01:02:56Good morning, Eve.
01:02:57Morning.
01:02:57Beautiful day, isn't it?
01:02:59Yeah, sure.
01:02:59Harvey and I had a wonderful time last night.
01:03:01We spent the whole evening catching up, if you know what I mean.
01:03:04Great.
01:03:04I'm happy for you.
01:03:05You and Mr. Dayton seem to be enjoying yourselves.
01:03:08What?
01:03:08It was like there was nobody else in the whole restaurant.
01:03:11It's a business dinner.
01:03:12Didn't look that way to me.
01:03:14I don't care what it looked like to you.
01:03:17It was just business.
01:03:19That's all it was.
01:03:20Business.
01:03:26Whatever you say.
01:03:27Those are on the right.
01:03:55Good morning, Eve.
01:04:01Morning, Miss Lovett.
01:04:02Don't you have any mail to deliver?
01:04:04And I will talk to you later.
01:04:05So, I will get your tea.
01:04:10All right.
01:04:11Stop.
01:04:12Before you say anything else, I just want to make something perfectly clear about last
01:04:16night.
01:04:17And you might want to spread this information around.
01:04:19No matter what you heard from Janice or anyone else, Mr. Dayton and I are co-workers.
01:04:25We were having a co-working dinner during which time we co-worked.
01:04:29Is that understood?
01:04:31Yeah.
01:04:32Good.
01:04:33What were you going to say?
01:04:34You have a guest.
01:04:40Excuse me.
01:04:41Last time I checked, this was my office.
01:04:44There she is.
01:04:45Hey.
01:04:46What?
01:04:47Hey, what are you doing here?
01:04:49Oh, a patient of mine is starring in a big action movie out here, and he had an emotional
01:04:54meltdown on set last night.
01:04:56Is he all right?
01:04:57Well, if he was all right, he wouldn't be an actor, would he?
01:05:01Rick has been keeping me company, telling me all about your show.
01:05:05He says you're doing it live today.
01:05:06That's so exciting.
01:05:07Yeah.
01:05:08It's a little nerve-wracking.
01:05:09And we are ready to rehearse the sketch, so after you guys catch up, I need you to go
01:05:13to wardrobe, get the harness on, and run through it a couple times, okay?
01:05:17Okay.
01:05:18Be right there.
01:05:18Okay.
01:05:19It's nice to meet you, Nancy.
01:05:20Now, you never told me you had such beautiful friends in New York.
01:05:23No.
01:05:24I like this one.
01:05:25Keep talking.
01:05:26You know what, Nancy?
01:05:27Nancy, if you want, you can Joy and Eve come down and watch the rehearsals.
01:05:30You sure that'd be okay?
01:05:32Of course.
01:05:33The more the merrier.
01:05:35All right.
01:05:35See you soon.
01:05:36So, that's the famous Rick you're always talking about.
01:05:41I am not always talking about him.
01:05:43From what I've heard around here, you two are a real item.
01:05:47That is not true at all.
01:05:49That is a rumor somebody started, and it's going to stop right now, people.
01:05:53So there's nothing going on between you?
01:05:55Nothing.
01:05:56We work together.
01:05:58All the more convenient.
01:06:00Nancy, we're not interested in each other.
01:06:03You're sure about that?
01:06:05Positive.
01:06:06So, you haven't ever made a move on him?
01:06:08Never.
01:06:09Not once.
01:06:09Now, come on.
01:06:10He's hot.
01:06:11Hot?
01:06:13I guess he's good-looking in his way.
01:06:17I wouldn't mind him looking my way while he was at it.
01:06:21Same old Nancy.
01:06:22Hey, when you see what you want, you have to go for it, right?
01:06:25Right.
01:06:26I'm telling you, this is a horrible idea.
01:06:34It's never going to work.
01:06:36Looking good, Rick.
01:06:40Hold me, right?
01:06:43You set, guys?
01:06:45Hey.
01:06:46Hey.
01:06:46Hey.
01:06:47You all right?
01:06:48It's hot, and this thing is really tight.
01:06:51Hey.
01:06:52How about us?
01:06:56Um, Rick.
01:06:59About last night.
01:07:00Yeah, we, uh, never should have had that much champagne.
01:07:03That was very unprofessional of us.
01:07:05Yeah.
01:07:07Yeah.
01:07:08Okay, good.
01:07:09I'm glad that we got that out of the way.
01:07:11Yeah, me too.
01:07:12That's, um...
01:07:13So, uh, what's the deal with your friend Nancy?
01:07:24Um, what do you mean?
01:07:26Well, is she single?
01:07:28Uh, yeah.
01:07:29She's, she's single.
01:07:31Why do you ask?
01:07:32I'm just curious.
01:07:34I mean, she seems nice.
01:07:36Yeah, she's really nice.
01:07:38She's one of my best friends.
01:07:40But I gotta tell you, under that good girl facade, that one over there, she got me in
01:07:44a lot of trouble when we were younger.
01:07:47Oh.
01:07:47Looking at her, I can believe that.
01:07:50What's that supposed to mean?
01:07:52Well, she's just got that wicked glint in her eye.
01:07:56What?
01:07:56And I don't?
01:07:57No.
01:07:58I mean, that's not what I'm saying.
01:08:00You're, you're just more practical.
01:08:03You mean boring?
01:08:04No, that, you know what?
01:08:07Let's just pretend I didn't say anything at all.
01:08:09Okay.
01:08:09Uh, okay.
01:08:10Your way, guys.
01:08:11Rick?
01:08:13Ah!
01:08:14Oh, there she goes.
01:08:16Is this supposed to do this?
01:08:25Okay, uh, I think that's, that's good.
01:08:28So, what does a producer do, anyway?
01:08:32Mostly keep people like Eve in line.
01:08:34Must be a full-time job.
01:08:36Yeah, and pays lousy for you.
01:08:38Hello?
01:08:40Hello?
01:08:41Remember me up here?
01:08:43It's kind of scary.
01:08:46People, when we go to air, we're going to have one chance to get this right.
01:08:49So, let's all remember the cue.
01:08:52Ready?
01:08:53In three, two, one.
01:08:57Ah!
01:08:57Ah!
01:08:57Ah!
01:08:58Ah!
01:08:59Ah!
01:09:00Hey!
01:09:01Rick!
01:09:03What's wrong?
01:09:04Hey!
01:09:05Rick!
01:09:05It's, uh, it's jammed.
01:09:07Oh, you think?
01:09:08Guys, get her down.
01:09:09Hey, can you do something about this, please?
01:09:12Whose idea was this, anyway?
01:09:14Listen, I'm a talk show host, not a piñata.
01:09:25You getting a kick out of this?
01:09:28Trina!
01:09:29Help me!
01:09:30Glad you guys think this is funny.
01:09:32I'm a talk show host, not a piñata.
01:10:02Hi, I'm a piñata.
01:10:04You close up?
01:10:05You're a piñata.
01:10:05No, I'm a piñata.
01:10:06He wants his thing to do.
01:10:10Vernon!
01:10:17Vernon!
01:10:19Are you in here?
01:10:22Vernon, come on!
01:10:24I know that I said that I quit, but I need another chance, because I think I figured it out.
01:10:29I think I know who the couple is.
01:10:32Vernon!
01:10:35Come on, you said it was never too late for love.
01:10:38How about it?
01:10:42Vernon!
01:10:45Never mind.
01:10:46You know what?
01:10:46I don't need you.
01:10:48I'm going to do this myself.
01:11:09Got it.
01:11:10Hey, Rick, that's all?
01:11:14We're good.
01:11:15Got a minute?
01:11:17Yeah, I thought you'd be in makeup.
01:11:20I'm on my way.
01:11:21Have you seen Nancy anywhere around?
01:11:24She went to the commissary for coffee.
01:11:25She'll be back in a while.
01:11:26Oh, okay.
01:11:28She likes you.
01:11:29I can tell.
01:11:30I like her, too.
01:11:31She's nice.
01:11:33I was thinking that maybe tonight, after the show, you'd want to go out.
01:11:36The three of us?
01:11:37Well, that's okay.
01:11:38You guys need time to catch up.
01:11:39Oh, I wasn't going to go.
01:11:41What?
01:11:43Yeah, I just thought maybe the two of you might want to get to know each other better.
01:11:47What?
01:11:48Are you trying to hand me off to your friend?
01:11:55No, not exactly.
01:11:56It's just, you seemed like you were interested in her.
01:12:00In her?
01:12:02What about us?
01:12:04Us?
01:12:05Yeah, us.
01:12:06You, me.
01:12:09Well, you and Nancy have a lot in common.
01:12:11Eve, the only thing we have in common is that we both love you.
01:12:18I thought you felt it, too.
01:12:24What's been going on between us?
01:12:26Well, I thought that you didn't want anything to go on here.
01:12:29Clearly, you don't.
01:12:31You wouldn't be trying to set me up with someone else.
01:12:32No, no, no, you don't understand.
01:12:34I was just trying to help you find love.
01:12:37Here.
01:12:39What's this for?
01:12:40That's for the next person you hire to produce your show.
01:12:43What?
01:12:44This can't work, Eve.
01:12:46Not now.
01:12:48Rick, you can't do this.
01:12:49We go on the air live in less than an hour.
01:12:52Not we.
01:12:54You.
01:12:56I quit.
01:12:58I'll be true.
01:12:58Oh, Eve.
01:13:10I'm glad I caught you.
01:13:12Hey.
01:13:13Hey.
01:13:13I wanted to tell you to break a leg, but then I got to thinking maybe that wasn't such a good thing to say after all.
01:13:18Thanks.
01:13:19I think.
01:13:19Rick.
01:13:20I wouldn't worry too much.
01:13:21You're in good hands with Rick.
01:13:23He really cares about you.
01:13:26Yeah?
01:13:27Absolutely.
01:13:28You said you weren't interested in him, so I used my best hair tosses and my biggest smiles, and all he could do was talk about you.
01:13:37Me?
01:13:37Mm-hmm.
01:13:39I don't know what your problem is, but he's the keeper.
01:13:46Anyway, good luck.
01:13:48I hope you're watching you.
01:13:55Eve.
01:13:56We've got a problem.
01:13:57Rick, quit.
01:13:58Well, I'm glad you're taking it so calmly.
01:14:00We go on the air in 15 minutes.
01:14:02Where are we going to find a producer?
01:14:08Okay, everyone.
01:14:09We are on the Titanic.
01:14:12Might as well enjoy the ride.
01:14:14Here we go.
01:14:19Everyone take your seats.
01:14:20The show is about to start.
01:14:24Hey, hey.
01:14:26Live in 10.
01:14:30Is Eve in position?
01:14:32Hey, you, producer, is our host in position.
01:14:37Uh, and Miss Lovett, I mean Eve.
01:14:39Are you ready?
01:14:41Well, if by ready you mean uncomfortably hanging by my armpits from the ceiling, then sure.
01:14:47She's ready.
01:14:49In 5.
01:14:51Well, things I do to make a living.
01:14:54Tell me about it.
01:14:57Hey.
01:14:58What are you doing up here?
01:15:00Oh, I thought I would just keep you company.
01:15:02You know.
01:15:03Nobody should be alone on Valentine's Day.
01:15:063, 2...
01:15:07Well, starting to think I'm the exception to that rule.
01:15:18Hey, what am I, chopped liver?
01:15:20Come on, if you really believed that, you wouldn't have taken me up and off in the first place.
01:15:24Coming to you live from the studio, The Eve Lovett Show, starring Eve Lovett.
01:15:38Your offer didn't do me any good.
01:15:43Look, I still ended up alone.
01:15:46Did you?
01:15:46Really?
01:15:47Do you remember what I said about the petals and the rose?
01:15:50Yeah.
01:15:51Still trying to figure that one out.
01:15:54There's nothing to figure out, Eve.
01:15:55You've known the answer all along.
01:16:003, 2, 1, and cue the puppet.
01:16:04Ah!
01:16:07Ah!
01:16:08Oh!
01:16:25Good afternoon and welcome to a very special live broadcast of The Eve Lovett Show.
01:16:36As always, I'm your host, Eve Lovett.
01:16:41And...
01:16:41Uh...
01:16:44And...
01:16:47That love wasn't for sissies.
01:16:50It takes courage.
01:16:51It would be bumps and bruises along the way.
01:16:57And sometimes...
01:16:59Sometimes you've got to start all over again.
01:17:04But no matter how tough it gets...
01:17:07Oh, it's all worth it.
01:17:10Because love makes us the best that we can be.
01:17:14And I've been staring at it all along.
01:17:17It was right in front of me and I didn't even see it.
01:17:19So, if you'll excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, I have to...
01:17:24Eve seems to be on a mission.
01:17:27We've got the mobile crew to follow her.
01:17:28Let's see what happens.
01:17:42Yes, I understand.
01:17:46That was the head of network.
01:17:50He's watching the show from home.
01:17:52I knew this was going to be a disaster.
01:17:54No, he loves it.
01:17:56You think it's the most exciting thing we've ever done?
01:17:59Yes!
01:18:00I told you that this would work.
01:18:02All right, keep following her.
01:18:04Do not let her out of your sight.
01:18:05She's headed towards Rick's office.
01:18:07Yes!
01:18:19What?
01:18:23You're still here.
01:18:25Eve, what are you doing?
01:18:27Please, Rick, just listen.
01:18:28Guys, shut off the camera.
01:18:30Shut off the microphone.
01:18:31Tell them if they do, they'll both be back working studio tours.
01:18:35Sorry, Mr. Dayton, we don't work for you anymore.
01:18:38You quit, remember?
01:18:40You're right.
01:18:41I did quit.
01:18:43What?
01:18:43Making me feel like an idiot once wasn't enough and I have to do it on TV?
01:18:46No, I'm the one who should feel like an idiot.
01:18:53I have been running around here trying to find the perfect couple and we've been right here all along.
01:19:07What do you want, Eve?
01:19:08I'll tell you what I want.
01:19:10I want you to be my valentine.
01:19:21That's, uh, that's kind of corny.
01:19:25A little cheesy.
01:19:28Very old-fashioned.
01:19:30Old-fashioned.
01:19:32That's why the people love it.
01:19:40And that's why I love you.
01:19:45Is that a compliment?
01:19:47I would say so.
01:19:48I would say so.
01:20:08The first overnight ratings just came in
01:20:36And we beat the singing judge
01:20:38And everything else
01:20:40Our numbers are through the roof
01:20:41To our host
01:20:48To our producer
01:20:50Wow, where'd those come from?
01:20:56I think I have an idea
01:20:57To Eve and Rick, happy Valentine's Day
01:21:05From all of us at the head office
01:21:07Long story
01:21:11You can tell it to me in the honeymoon
01:21:15I love those chocolates
01:21:19Hi honey

01:21:27I had to work late tonight
01:21:30Tough case
01:21:31But I finally made it to Happily Ever After
01:21:34Just in time
01:21:36Yes, of course I picked up the flowers and cake
01:21:38Just like you asked
01:21:39Yes, I know what day it is
01:21:41I'm cute for crying out loud

01:21:50Soaring out loud
01:21:51Ooh, you could hit me like this
01:21:53Can you believe I'm a fan of my sister?
01:21:55I know, man
01:21:56I think what's going on
