(phone ringing)
- Farrell. Got it.
(alarm buzzing)
Come on, Chelsea, we're up.
Saddle up.
- (man): Let's go!
- What is it?
- Commercial. Slow burn.
- OK.
- Let's go.
- (man): Here we go.
Come on.
- (woman): Move it!
- (man): Move it!
- (man): Come on, everybody!
Get on! Let's go!
- Who knows?
It may not even be real.
- Only one way to find out.
- Let's go, ladies.
- We've got a flower shop:
Sudbury, west of Manchester.
- All right!
- Fifteen seconds to lift-off!
- Moving out here!
- Let's move it! Chop, chop!
Let's roll, let's roll!
- Roll!
(siren)
(fire truck siren and horn)
(coughing)
That was so scary.
- What was that?
- I don't know. Some kind
of an expl*si*n. Are you OK?
(siren)
(siren)
(horn blasting)
Here they are.
Wow, that was fast.
- Guys, let's go.
- Here we are.
- Move it.
- Oh, I hope the shop's OK.
- Aerial on scene, A side,
west side, heavy smoke showing.
- It's our shop.
- Anybody else inside?
- No, it was just us.
- This is Chelsea,
our paramedic. She's gonna
take care of you. Get them back
away from the building, OK?
- You got it.
- I just heard this pop
in the cold storage unit.
Then there was suddenly
all this smoke, but no flames.
- OK, no unusual redness.
That's good.
- We got out of there fast.
- Smart. You ladies crawl out?
No.
- OK, well, if you're
ever in that situation again,
hit the floor,
get on your hands and knees.
Most casualties in a fire happen
with smoke inhalation, but you
don't see that coming.
- Heads up.
- There's lots of smoke.
- Sounds good. You guys just sit
tight, all right?
- All right, thank you.
- Oh, here they come.
- You got lucky.
The fire was
in the flower storage unit,
but we contained it there.
- So there was no fire damage?
- Well, the compressor's toast,
and that ethylene couldn't be
good for your flowers, but...
there's no structural damage.
- Great.
Just we need with Valentine's
Day around the corner.
- At least you're safe.
- Right. Thank you.
- Are you... Dan Farrell?
- Yeah.
- Wendy. Wendy Clark.
You were in my big brother's
class at Chatham High.
- Steven Clark! Ha! Ha!
How many years has it been?
- Oh, uh, let's not do
that math.
This is my business partner,
Kate Burlingham.
- Hi.
- I'm sorry about
the circumstances.
Pleasure to meet you.
- You too. Thank you.
- Hey,
say hi to Steve, all right?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Saddle up, fellas!
- All right, guys,
let's load up.
- Get back to the shop.
(honking)
- Shall we face the music?
- I don't think we have
a choice.
Dan Farrell.
He was such a great guy
in high school.
I found out at a reunion
that his wife died
a few years ago.
- Oh.
- Laura Halloway. She was
in my brother's class too.
- That is so awful.
- Yeah. Can't imagine.
- Hey, hey, Dad?
- Hey.
- Hey.
You're reading
The Mercenary Fables?
- Well, what do you know?
- Do you play the game?
- Constantly.
- 'Cause the books don't
make any sense if you don't.
- On my phone, my notebook,
and my computer.
- What about the cloud version?
- It's on the cloud now?
- Yeah, since Friday.
- Shut up!
- It's the best yet.
Majorly interactive.
- I'm so gonna hook into that.
- Ah, good, you're here. Hey.
Muah. How was the bus, hon?
- Long and boring.
- I know, why do they have
to make so many stops?
- Right? I mean, seriously,
every corner?
- Do you go to Central?
- Parkview.
- Ah, who do we have here?
- Hey, uh,
this is my daughter Rebecca;
Rebecca, Lieutenant Farrell.
- Nice to meet you, Rebecca.
I see that you've met my son
Tyler.
- That's your son? Wow.
Hey. Chelsea.
- Hi.
- Hey.
- You guys on your way back
from a fire?
- Small one. A compressor fire.
- So you didn't get
to break out the hoses?
- No need. Never got rolling.
- That's too bad.
- Gotta watch out for those
fires, though, because sometimes
the toxic gases are more
dangerous than the flames.
- Oh. Cool.
- So, uh, who was that lady?
You know, with the daughter.
- She's, uh, one
of our new EMTs.
- New?
She seems
kind of old to me.
(Dan laughs.)
- Well, she's new to us.
I knew her from when she worked
Emergency over at the hospital.
- And her daughter?
Is she going to be coming by
after school,
like, every day?
- Why? Is she a pain?
- Oh, no, no, no.
She's... she's OK.
You know, for a girl.
- Get in the house.
Come on.
- I can't believe
we have to shut down
less than two weeks before
the biggest day of the year!
- I know, but look
on the bright side:
for once, you can actually
enjoy Valentine's Day.
- I have a husband
with a one-track mind.
Enjoying Valentine's Day has
never been a problem.
- Are you complaining?
- No. Not even.
How about you? Big plans
for the romantic day?
- Absolutely. I actually have
two dates lined up.
- Really?
- Brad Pitt and Colin Firth,
provided there isn't
a video streaming meltdown.
- Well, I don't know.
Single women, Valentine's Day--
it could be the perfect
broadband storm.
Seriously, ask SOMEBODY out.
Show yourself a good time.
- I plan on having
an excellent time.
Did I not mention ice cream cake
with gumdrop hearts? I'm good.
- Oh, we need to get you back
into circulation.
No, no, no, it's selfish
to keep all this wonderfulness
to yourself.
- Oh, well, maybe
I'll join you and Nick.
- Or plan B
and we get you a date.
- I'm fine, Wendy! I'm fine.
- Bam!
- Oh! Well,
you just played
the wrong card, buddy.
Bam! You just got served
the Queen of Spades.
- Ah, settle down, Magnum.
Read 'em and weep.
- You didn't keep a heart?!
- No, I was trying
to protect my hand.
- How'd that work out for you?
- Not so good.
- You know, I don't see
why it's gotta be me, guys.
- Seriously, we've done this
over and over again.
- Because you're single.
- Dan is single.
- You're the young
stud muffin, OK?
They're gonna eat you up.
- That's what I don't like
about it, Dan. I feel
like a commodity.
- Poor baby.
- No, seriously, "win a date
with one of our bravest"?
- What's wrong with that?
- It's demeaning.
- It's for a good cause.
Think about the kids.
- Do it for the children.
- What about if she wants to go
to, I don't know, the opera
or something on our date.
- She?
(Chelsea laughing)
- Keep it up.
- Look, it's a tradition, OK?
And a big money maker.
Just enjoy the fact that you're
still young and bankable.
- See? A commodity.
- Welcome to my world,
girlfriend.
- (Tyler): Hey, guys.
- Hey, dude! How was school?
- Great.
- By the way, I win.
- The battle, not the w*r.
- Yeah. Let's go. We gotta
clean the rig. Can't put that
off for another day. Chop, chop.
- Hey.
- (man): Yeah, OK.
- Is... Rebecca here?
- Nah, she's at taekwondo.
- She does taekwondo?
- Yeah, she's working
on her red belt.
- That's... Wow.
- Hey, you taking a date
to the ball this year?
- Me?
- Yeah.
- Why does everybody
keep asking about that?
- Well, because my sister just
came through a messy divorce.
- Wait, Serena?
- Yeah.
- Woo-ee! She is hot.
- Hard to believe they're
from the same gene pool, huh?
- Hey, you're telling me.
- Ha, ha, ha, ha. No,
come on, I'm serious.
Invite her to the ball,
turn on that Farrell charm,
and make her feel sexy again.
- Ha! Ha! What Farrell charm?
- Hey, Joey, if he's
not interested, I'm your guy.
- She doesn't date
adolescents.
- Rinse, rinse, rinse.
- I'm a grow man.
- Hey!
- Rinse.
- That's it, you can't
date my sister.
- (man): Is it my imagination,
or are these jackets
getting smaller?
- Never too late
to say no to carbs.
- Later, Chelsea.
- Hey, Dan, whoa.
Uh, do you have a sec?
That time clock. I'm still
having trouble with it.
- That's still acting up?
- Yes.
- OK, come on.
- Hey, Tyler.
- Hi.
May I please be excused?
- You're finished?
- Yeah, I got
some homework.
- I thought you did it
at the firehouse.
- Well, I couldn't do all of it.
- Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
don't throw that out.
I thought you loved
my carbonara.
- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
it was great.
It's just...
I'm not that hungry.
- You're not hungry?
(He laughs.)
Is that even possible?
- I guess so.
- (ringtone): Hai-yah!
- Hey, Alex.
- [Dude,]
you all right?
- [Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.]
Um, what's up?
- You texted me earlier--
help with your math homework?
- Yeah, yeah, uh,
just let me get my books.
- [So, we'll be in...]
[Chapter , page .]
- Here you go.
- Thanks a lot.
- You're welcome.
- Welcome to Danby's.
This week, our special is
on baby back ribs:
only $ . per pound.
- See what happens when the best
florist in town closes?
People are forced
to buy their flowers
at the grocery store.
- Kate.
- Yeah. Dan, right?
- Yeah.
- They had to shut you down?
- Just until the insurance
comes through
so we can fumigate
and restock and...
- Of course.
- How are you?
- Oh, well, I'm great now
because I'm with an expert
and I don't know
the first thing about flowers.
- Well, at least you're trying.
I mean, I'm sure your girlfriend
appreciates the effort.
- No, no, I don't...
I don't ha...
The firehouse is doing
its annual fundraiser,
and it's a Valentine's Day ball,
and I'm sort of
the decorating committing. I'm
here doing a little research.
- Uh, what are you raising
money for?
- It's a scholarship fund
for the children
of fallen firefighters.
- That's a amazing.
You know what,
don't get your flowers here.
Go to Carney's.
- What's Carney's?
- It's the best flower market
in the state, and it's only
minutes from here
up Highway .
- Let me write that down.
Twenty-seven?
- Yeah.
- OK.
- Oh, except Carney's is
a wholesaler,
and you need a florist's licence
to shop there.
- Oh, bummer.
- I have a licence.
- I... I don't want
to ask you to do that.
- No, you're not asking.
I'm offering.
It'll be my contribution
to the fundraiser.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
- Great, because I could
use all the help I could get.
- Uh, what kind of arrangements
did you have in mind?
- Do I look like I know?
(She laughs.)
- Tell you what, why don't
you show me the venue, and
we can figure it out?
- You sure that's
not asking too much?
- No, no, I mean, Dan,
flowers are my business,
and I'm temporarily
out of a job, so...
use me.
- OK, I will.
- Here, um, I'll just...
give you my number
so, uh, you can
call me whenever you want
to go see the venue.
- Perfect.
- Great.
Great to see you.
- Yeah, you too.
- Bye.
- The mall near your school?
Yeah, I don't see why not.
Your dad and I, we're planning
to go see a movie,
so we'll just see one there.
That'll give you a couple
hours, OK? All right,
sweetie, I love you.
Bye. Hey, Tyler.
- Hi.
- Hey.
- Um...
was... was that Rebecca?
- Yeah.
You know, that girl would spend
all weekend at the mall
with her friends. You know they
don't even buy stuff? They just
walk around and hang out.
- That's... kinda weird.
- Yeah.
That's kinda "girl".
I did the same thing
when I was her age.
We're not like you, Tyler.
- Yeah, I noticed.
(She laughs.)
- [What do you need to get?]
- I don't need to get anything.
- Why go to the mall if you're
not going to buy something?
- [Well, my dad said he could]
take us, and it'll be...
fun.
- [Mm... OK.]
I still think it's kinda lame.
- Whatever.
- Well, when we had it here
last year,
the DJ booth was here
in the corner,
and the buffet was back here
against the wall.
Um, the bar was over here
in the back room,
and we had tables all around.
- Oh, OK. Do you want
arrangements on every table?
- Sounds great.
- Maybe a garland
around the bar.
- Whatever you think.
Oh, by the way,
we have to make sure
we decorate the auction block.
- Auction block?
- Yeah.
- This Valentine's Day ball just
got a little more interesting.
- We auction off
a date with one of our single
firefighters. It is...
very popular with the ladies.
- I bet it is.
Are you in the block this year?
- Me? No. No, no.
Just for the younger guys.
- Right, 'cause you're
way too old.
- My son seems to think so.
- How old is your son?
- Tyler is .
- Is he your only child?
- Mm-hmm.
- Wendy told me
about your wife.
I'm very sorry.
- Thank you.
- It'll be great.
- Yeah, this is it.
- Yeah, it's a beautiful space.
- Yeah.
- And how do you know that
he doesn't have a girlfriend?
- He kinda told me.
- Why would he "kinda"
tell you?
- I... maybe fished
a little.
- You like him.
- Come on, he's a firefighter,
for crying out loud.
And not exactly hard
on the eyes.
- No, ma'am, not hard
on the eyes at all.
- So, what's not to like?
- Oh! Ladies and gentlemen,
Kate Burlingham is back.
The blood is flowing,
there's a definite uptake
in the heavy breathing
department, and, oh, oh, oh!
I think we've even detected
a pulse!
Thank you, Dan!
- Stop it! I am helping him
with the flowers
for his fundraiser.
- Of course you are.
'Cause you're not a woman;
you're a philanthropist.
OK, well, seeing as you're
back from the dead,
give me your opinion
on something.
Which...
of these two outfits...
do you think would
look sexier on me?
- I don't think there's enough
fabric to qualify as "outfits".
- I'm just trying to surprise
Nick for Valentine's Day.
- I think he'll be plenty
surprised with either one
of them, and then some.
You really love Nick,
don't you?
- Yeah.
Well, that's why
I married him.
You were right to draw a line
in the sand, Kate.
- You didn't have to draw a line
in the sand with Nick.
- Not overtly;
subtly I did. I mean, I think
that's what women do--
we just nudge guys
in the right direction.
I mean, let's face it--
it usually takes them
longer to commit than us.
- So maybe I should have
given Gavin more time.
- You gave him plenty
of time.
And why are we even talking
about Gavin? Let's talk
about Dan,
and what you're gonna wear
when you see him next.
- Something with plenty
of fabric.
- Ah, right. It's only
your second date.
- We are not dating!
Dessert?
- Right, reveal yourself
slowly, in layers,
like an onion.
- Is this your idea of fun?
Walking around all day?
- It's good exercise, and we're
not even walking that fast.
Come on, let's go!
- I get plenty
of exercise.
- Well, you know, there's
actually people who come
to the mall TO exercise.
They, like, do laps
around it. In groups.
- Yeah, and you know
what they call those people?
Geezers.
- OK, fine, we'll
go in a few minutes,
only if we don't--
- Don't what?
And weren't we supposed to meet
your dad like minutes ago?
What?
(laughing)
You brought me here
because of girls?
- Where are you, buddy?
It's, uh, it's : .
Call me when you get this.
- Her name's Rebecca.
My dad works
with her mom.
- Are you, like,
into her?
- I don't know. I guess.
- (girl): This is gross.
What are you eating?
- What should I say to her?
- How should I know?
Oh, man.
This is creepy.
Stop.
It's really awk--
- Excuse me!
What's the story?
You were supposed to meet me
at the mall entrance at : .
I've been calling.
- You have?
- Yes!
- Sorry. I forgot to turn it on.
- Forgot to turn it on.
You? You think I'm buying that?
What's with you
these days?
- I'll tell you
what's with him.
- Is that, uh,
Chelsea's daughter?
- He came here to see her,
and now he won't even
talk to her.
- Let's just go.
- I mean, how lame is that?
- (Dan): So, you like Rebecca?
- I don't even know her.
- Well, get to know her.
Ask her to be
a Facebook friend.
- That'd be like...
stalking her.
- Kinda like today?
(Dan laughs.)
I'm kidding.
You know, I was
right around your age
when I met your mother.
- Can we not talk about this?
- You know, you want some intel
on how to get to know Rebecca,
take it from your old man.
I've been there, done that.
No?
Nothing? You got...
nothing for me?
OK.
- OK, so, the thing is,
when I first met Rebecca,
it was, like, super easy
to talk to her
'cause she was... you know,
just this person.
Now it's like I just keep hoping
that she'll come to the station
after school every day,
and at the same time
I'm scared because... well,
what am I'm gonna say to her?
- Well, what did you talk about
the first time?
- Books,
the cloud, buses...
- OK, well,
what else is she into?
- She's into taekwondo.
- Dude, that's perfect!
You have that in common.
- I know.
How awesome is that? Ha! Ha! Ha!
- That's pretty awesome.
That's what you talk about.
You get her? That's what
you talk about.
- OK.
- Try to find something
to do outside the firehouse.
- Do you mean like a...
(snapping his fingers)
...a... a date?
- Yeah. Taekwon-date. Ooh!
Waaaah.
- OK. Mm-hmm.
(phone ringing)
- Hi, Wendy.
- Hey, Kate.
You figured out what you're
going to wear tomorrow?
- Something with plenty
of fabric.
- [Ugh, double down, Kate!]
You got a shot
at a great guy here.
You need to use every w*apon
in your arsenal.
- [Wendy, getting to know
someone isn't an act of w*r.]
- Oh, I recommend something
in red.
[You look fabulous in it,
plus it sends a subliminal]
"let me be your
Valentine" message.
- Good night, Wendy.
- [Double down, Kate!
Double down!]
- Good night!
- Hey.
Guess who's here?
Give it your best shot, kid.
- Hey, Tyler.
- Hey, Rebecca.
How's it going?
- Going great.
- Good. That's...
that's good.
So, uh...
your... your mom told me
that you were into taekwondo.
- Oh, yeah, big time.
- Well, there's this,
uh, D movie playing--
the Korean national team.
- Right, doing
demonstrations. I read
about that.
- Yeah. Wednesday being...
being a half day and all,
I was thinking of going
to see it after school.
- Cool.
- Does Parkview do half days
on Wednesdays?
- Yeah, I think
that's district wide.
- Huh.
Well, if you're not doing
anything after school
on Wednesday,
I was thinking...
maybe we could, um,
go... together.
- That'd be
totally awesome.
- OK.
- (Kate): Did you always want
to be a fireman?
- Sometimes I think the whole
fireman thing was just...
part of the way it was
supposed to be, you know?
I mean, I met Laura
when I was just a kid,
and then everything fell
into place--
you know, sweetheart,
family, job.
We... had a full life together.
Over years.
Better than most couples
these days.
- That's a very sweet way
of looking at it.
Isn't it dangerous,
firefighting?
- It can be. I mean,
my station never lost
anybody or had any
serious injuries,
but some of the others
around town, you know,
they haven't been
so fortunate.
- Mm-hmm.
- How about you?
How did you get started
in the flower business?
- Well, believe it or not,
I have an MBA.
- Impressive.
- Top of my class, no less.
- Very impressive.
- Yeah, I set my sights high.
I was going to be CEO
of something
by the time I was .
Six months into my first
corporate job, I came home
from yet another soul-destroying
networking party,
and I looked myself
in the mirror and said,
"Kate, what do you really want?
Because it is not this".
- What was your answer?
- That I wanted to do something
that made me happy. And...
flowers make me happy.
So I took everything
I learned
about big business,
applied it to small business,
and never looked back.
- Laura loved flowers. She used
to have arrangements like this,
you know, all around the house.
- And none of that
rubbed off on Mr. I-don't-know-
anything-about-flowers?
- It was her thing.
I just, you know, loved
that it made her so happy.
- So, I'll put together some
samples and drop them by.
- I'm sure whatever you come up
with will be great.
- I will do my best.
- Thank you.
- No, it was...
it was my pleasure.
- What's with
all the softball swag?
- Well, now that I've got some
time on my hands, I'm trying
to get my swing back. I'm
actually heading to the field
now to take a couple of hacks.
- You play?
- All-state in high school,
but I don't like to brag.
- You don't understand.
The firefighters have a co-ed
softball league. We never have
enough women. You've gotta play.
- Well, sign me up.
- You... you don't...
play first base, do you?
- All-state in high school,
and maybe I do like to brag.
- Where have you been
all my life?
- So, how often are you supposed
to change those things?
- About once a year.
Hey, I got a new slogan.
Check it out.
You're gonna love this.
"Show her you love her
on Valentine's Day:
change the battery
in her smoke detector."
Pretty good, huh?
What? You don't like it?
- It seems kinda
unromantic.
- Protecting the life
of somebody you love? Please.
What's more romantic
than that?
Speaking of romance,
what time is this movie
you're going to tomorrow?
- Three thirty.
- OK, perfect.
I want you to take the bus
over to the mall, and I'll pick
you up after work, OK?
- OK.
So, aren't you supposed
to bring a girl something
on a first date?
- I don't know.
What'd you have in mind?
- I don't know,
like... candy
or flowers.
- It sounds kind of
"Archie and Betty" to me.
- Who?
- Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait. I've got a great idea.
Make her a mix tape.
- What's that?
- Come on! Are you kidding me?
It's when you put
all your favourite songs
on one of those... what do you
call... You know, the...
the MP , uh, playlist!
- Of songs I like?
- Yeah!
- What if she thinks they stink?
- Well, then you ask her why
and you figure out what songs
she does like, pal, because
that's all part
of the process of getting
to know each other.
Hey, when I first met your mom,
I made her a mix tape, and I put
"Walk Like an Egyptian" on it.
- What?
- Never mind. The point is,
I was afraid she wasn't going
to like it, and she LOVED it.
We used to sing it
all the time--in fact,
to the point where we kind of
drove our friends crazy.
- Oh, a tape!
- Yeah!
- You made her a video!
- No, no, not a video--
- That's a great idea!
I'll make her a DVD
of YouTube videos of songs
I like. Thank you so much, Dad!
- Uh...
OK. Well,
that's... what I'm here for.
- Well, I can't fault
his taste in girls, but...
my commanding officer's son--
I don't know.
What if she breaks his heart?
- Then I'll make your life
a living...
- Hm, right.
- Your costume's here, Michael.
- What costume?
- For the auction.
- No, no, no. Nobody said
anything about a costume.
- It's a tradition.
- The ladies love it.
- Oh, yeah, no, no, no,
we sure do. It's super sexy.
(laughing)
- What is this?
- It's called "the love god".
- Cupid meets Hercules.
- No, no, no, no. I'm not,
I'm not, I'm not wearing this.
- Oh, but you must.
- It's a commitment, Michael.
Come on, where are you going?
Oh, come on!
- No, I'm starting to hate
Valentine's Day.
(laughing)
- He can't take it!
Yeah, baby!
- Oh, no.
- (woman): I think we parked
on this side.
- (girl): I'll be right there.
- Remember that flying spinning
hook kick? That was awesome!
- I didn't actually really
catch that at all.
- Well, it was over the guy's
head, then he did a roundhouse
to the cheek.
- Well, I didn't see that. No.
- Come on, you do this!
There's your mom.
- Yep.
- Whoa.
That's MY girl.
- (Tyler and Rebecca): Bye.
- (Chelsea): Yeah, OK.
See you later, guys.
- See you tomorrow.
(bell tolling)
Well?
- She loved the movie,
she loved the mix!
- What'd I tell you?
- Ha! Ha! And she said
that we're gonna hang out at
the softball game on Saturday.
- This sounds like a date.
- I guess so.
Whew! Wow.
(bell tolling)
Hey, Dad?
- Yeah?
- How come
you don't date?
- Uh... I don't know.
- It's not because of me, is it?
- No, son, please.
- You know, like,
because I miss Mom,
and you don't have a girlfriend
'cause you think I wouldn't
like it?
Like you were replacing Mom
or something?
- I don't have a girlfriend
because...
the circumstances aren't right.
You know, you have
to meet the right person and--
- Dad.
Seriously.
- Look, your mother and I had
a full life, right?
An amazing relationship for over
years, and that's more
than I could say for--
- Most couples these days?
Yeah, I know.
You always say that.
But... it couldn't have been
that full.
She didn't get to see me
go to high school,
learn to drive,
start shaving--
a million things!
- Nope.
- When you say you've already
lived a full life,
I feel like...
I don't know,
like I'm not there.
- That's not what I meant
by that, son.
- I just wish
you'd stop pretending
to be so happy all the time.
- I am not pretending.
- Well, you have to be--
at least a little, because
we lost so much.
- That's true.
But we still have
each other.
And you, son...
are the best part
of your mother and me.
You got that?
Even if she won't get
to see you shave.
- All I'm saying is
it's OK with me.
- What?
- You know, if you want
to have a girlfriend.
- So, you're giving me
permission?
- Yeah, yeah.
But first you have to get
a girlfriend. Come on, old man.
Hurry it up.
- Get over here.
- Observe.
Classic human mating ritual.
The smile, little touch
of the arm.
- Oh, yeah? 'Cause, uh,
Dan's doing the same thing.
- Ah, so...
the male reciprocates.
- Yeah, why not?
She's a babe.
- What are you ladies
gossiping about?
- Uh... Dan's hitting on Kate.
- Not hitting on;
he's circling, testing
the waters, putting out signals.
- Why not? She's great.
- Oh, yeah, she's a total babe.
- That too.
- 'Cause Dan's never been
into anyone, ever, except Laura.
- Wow, he's gotta get
back out there, huh?
- I will see you soon.
- She's coming.
- I just wanted to come
and say goodbye.
- Hey!
- You'll be seeing her Saturday.
We've got a new ringer
on our softball team.
- You play softball?
- All-state in high school.
- Please tell me
you're a first baseman.
- (both): All-state.
- Oh! Why didn't your
compressor catch fire sooner?
(Joey laughing)
- Sorry.
- Sorry.
- He's kidding.
- Yeah. By the way,
you inspired me.
- I did?
- Yeah.
Tomorrow I'm heading
over to batting practice. I'm
gonna take a couple of hacks.
- Really? Why don't we go
together? Three o'clock?
- Sounds great.
- See you tomorrow.
- Cool.
- And I will see you Saturday.
- See you Saturday.
- Saturday.
- Bye.
- (Kate): Bye.
- What did I tell you? Hmm?
- Wow, you guys played that
right.
- What are you talking about?
- You're into her.
- She's... a friend.
I just met her.
- Then why are you going
on a date?
- I'm not... That's not a date.
- Well, when a woman
and a man go out and,
you know, do stuff,
that's a date, Dan.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
In no known universe is
batting practice a date.
- It is in mine.
- Well, you're an ape.
(laughing)
Get back to work.
- All right,
have fun on your date.
- Date, date, date!
- YOU'RE an ape.
- (Tyler): Yeah, yeah, yeah!
I remember that.
Yeah, she's cool.
(knocking)
- Hey.
You gotta shut it down, buddy.
Way past your bedtime.
- OK.
Yeah, you heard that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I gotta go.
Yeah, you too.
OK. OK, bye.
- How's Alex doing?
- Oh, that wasn't Alex;
that was Rebecca.
- Rebecca?
What were you two
talking about for
over an hour?
- I don't know...
everything.
So, I was wondering...
You know this
Valentine's Day ball?
- Mm-hmm.
- Um... is it just for grownups?
- I-I don't know. I mean,
no kids have ever wanted
to go before.
- Well, I do, and I want
to bring Rebecca.
- Well,
it's a hundred bucks a pop. You
got bucks stashed around
here somewhere I don't know?
- Maybe you could advance
my lawn-mowing money?
- That's... mows. That's
like a two-summer advance.
- Well, you could charge me
interest, right?
- Tell you what.
You just don't whine when I ask
you to mow, you understand?
- OK.
- Or make your bed.
Or take out the trash.
- Anything.
- Or walk the dog.
- We don't have a dog.
- In case we ever get one.
All right, deal?
- Deal.
- All right, lights out.
Come on. We've got
a big day tomorrow.
- Wait, hey! What if she doesn't
want to go?
- Well, you'd better work that
out before you buy the tickets.
- Good thinking.
- Yeah.
- Thanks, Dad.
- OK. You know, I've been
thinking about this conversation
we had the other day
about dating.
I think I'm gonna
give it a shot,
see how it goes.
- Oh, you'll like it, Dad.
It's pretty awesome.
- That's what they tell me.
Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
(phone ringing)
- Hey, Kate.
- Hi, Dan. It's Kate.
- [I know. Caller ID.]
- Right. Um... how are you?
- I'm good. You?
- [Great. Um...]
how was the rest of your day?
- Day was good. Yours?
- Great. It was really great.
- So, what's up?
- Tomorrow,
batting practice. Um,
the field's on the west side
of town, or the east?
- [The east side.
I'm sorry, I thought I had,
uh, mentioned that to you.]
- You know what,
you probably did.
I'm just, uh, double checking.
Three o'clock, right?
- Three o'clock.
- Great. I will see you then.
- [See you then.]
- Great.
Everything's great.
- Here it comes.
- All right.
- Show 'em
where you live, kiddo.
Nice! Whoa!
Nice!
Are you kidding me?
(Dan laughing)
Wait till Joey sees you.
Hey, my turn.
- All right.
- The boys are the firehouse are
gonna love this.
- A little rusty.
- Our new secret w*apon.
- Let's see what you got.
Not so rusty.
Warning-track power.
Again.
Man, it felt good
to swing again.
It's been way too long.
- Well, we're gonna kick
their butts on Saturday,
assuming we let you have
every at-bat.
- Come on,
you're a great hitter.
- Thank you.
Hey, I was wondering,
since you've been
such a big help with the ball
and everything,
and it's such an awesome night,
I thought maybe you'd want
to come with me,
you know, as my date.
- I'd love to.
- Great.
I wasn't sure... you know,
if you had a boyfriend.
- Um...
full disclosure:
I had a boyfriend.
A serious one, but, uh,
five months ago he transferred
to LA and we broke up.
- I'm sorry.
- It's OK.
- Not really.
(She laughs.)
- I haven't thought about
dating anybody since he left.
Until now.
- So... it's a date?
- It's a date.
- Great.
- I'll take my bag.
- I'm sorry.
- I'm really glad you asked.
- See you Saturday.
- It was a lot of fun.
See you Saturday.
- OK.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- [Hello, Dan.]
- Joey.
- [Date go well?]
- No, no, no, no, no,
it was not a date, Joey,
but it is now,
'cause I just asked her
to the ball.
- [Seriously?]
- Yeah.
- OK, fine, we're dating.
Yeah, in fact, I have to cancel
Brad and Colin,
'cause I have
a Valentine's Day date.
The firefighters' ball.
You are? OK, great.
I'll see you there.
Yes, Wendy, of course
I have you to thank.
I, uh, I doubled down.
I doubled way down.
OK, bye.
- Kate?
- Gavin?
- Kate Burlingham,
will you be my Valentine...
forever?
- What are you doing here?
- I'm here for you.
- Why didn't you tell me
you were coming?
- I wanted to surprise you.
- Oh, I'm surprised all right.
- All right, well, so...
what do you say?
- About what?
- I just proposed to you.
- I say I need to sit down.
You... just sit
there, please.
- Did... did you get
a good look at the ring?
- Gavin, what is this about?
- It's about me loving you.
I've always loved you.
- Yeah, I loved you too.
And we broke up, remember?
- What I remember is
a woman who wasn't willing
to move to LA with me
unless we were married,
and a me who was too stubborn
and set in his ways
to ask her.
But I am not that me
anymore.
- Well, maybe I'm not
that woman anymore.
- Is there somebody new?
Is there?
- I-I'm seeing someone, sort of.
- Define "sort of".
- He just asked me out
on our first official date.
- OK, well, so there's
still hope.
- Gavin.
- Letting you go was
the biggest mistake I ever made.
I screwed up.
I know that now.
And I'm willing to do
whatever it takes
to get you back.
I want us back again.
- I wasn't ready for this.
- No, I know.
- I think I just need
to sort this out.
- OK, well, I mean,
let me take you for dinner
and we can talk this through--
- No, not tonight.
You broke my heart
when you left.
You know that,
don't you?
- I know.
And I'm so sorry.
- I think you should go.
- OK.
- How long are you here for?
- Well, until you say yes.
(door opening)
(door closing)
- Did somebody say,
"Deep dish everything"?
- Sweet.
- What are you working on there?
Valentines?
- Yeah,
yeah, I want to make
one for Rebecca for when
I ask her out to the ball.
I'm just looking for ideas.
- Sweet.
Let me get some plates.
- All right.
- (Wendy): I can't believe
he did that to you.
- He says he changed his mind.
Realizes that he made
a big mistake.
- A little late in the game
for that, don't you think?
- Wendy, I keep telling you
that this is not a game.
- So you're thinking
about taking him back?
Kate, he had his chance
and he blew it.
- So I shouldn't give him
a second one?
- Do you want to?
- I don't know.
I really love the guy.
I invested years
into this relationship.
Marrying him was part
of the big plan.
- Plans change.
- I know,
except I don't know if the way
I feel about him has.
- OK, OK, hey,
I get it.
When you love somebody,
you love him.
I mean, me and Nick went
through a... thing.
- You did?
- Back in the day.
We sorted it out,
and I guess, I don't know,
I'm sure it's just something
that couples go through.
- I am not sure
about anything, believe me.
I mean, I think
I still love him, but...
I don't know if I can trust him
not to let me down again.
And then there's Dan.
- You're in love
with him too?
- No! I mean,
we are just getting
to know each other, but...
he's pretty special,
and being with him feels
really nice.
(Wendy laughs.)
- Wow. A week and a half ago,
your Valentine's Day date was
Netflix,
and now you have two real
live guys to choose from.
- I know.
What am I gonna do?
- I don't know. Well, for
starters, some more of this.
- That I can do.

Second base! Over to one.
Yeah. OK, good job, good job.
One out!
Play it, touch the bag!
Yeah! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Are you kidding?
- That was awesome.
- Did you see that? Woo-hoo-hoo!

with kid gloves, buster.
We don't want her
getting injured.

- Strike three,

- Don't worry about it, Charlie
boy, that's good, that's good.
- You'll get 'em next time.
- Well, look who it is.
- Let's go, Kate.
- Show 'em where you live, Kate.
Show 'em where you live.
- Let's go, girlfriend!
- Let's go, Kate.
- Tattoo one, kiddo.
Tyler. You good?
- As a matter of fact,
don't touch her at all.
Don't even hold her hand.
- Come on, Kate!
- Take one look at her.
I can't promise anything.
- Let's go, Kate!
- Lethal w*apon!
- Wait for your pitch.
Wait for your pitch, Kate.
- Drive it!
- Oh!
- No way!
Go! Go! Go!
(cheering)
- Nice one! Nice one!
- Are you kidding me?
- Yeah!
- Touch them all!
(cheering)
Touch them all! Oh, yes!
(cheering)
Get over here!
Whoa! Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Oh, my!
New secret w*apon! What?!
- Bob Ogden.
- Nice.
- Um... Harry Potter.
- No.
- Too easy.
- OK. Irma Pince.
- Q, Q, Q...
um... Quirinus Quirrell.
- OK, Rebecca, sweetie,
it's time to go.
- 'K.
- Wow, you know
your Harry Potter.
- There's a lot of downtime
in a flower shop, and
I love to read.
- What's your favourite?
- You know what? I don't have
one. I pretty much love 'em all.
- Yeah, me too.
So, um, you into
The Mercenary Fables?
- No, I never read 'em.
Should I check 'em out?
- (Rebecca and Tyler):
Definitely. They're awesome.
(She laughs.)
- OK. I will.
Thanks for the tip.
- So, we on
for tomorrow?
- Um... Hey, Dad?
- What's up?
- Can I hang out with Rebecca
at the mall tomorrow afternoon?
- I don't see why not.
We've got to go for the flowers
tomorrow, right?
- Right.
- Yeah, sure, no problem.
- Cool. I'll walk you
to your car.
- "I'll walk you to your car"?
- Tyler seems
like a great kid.
- You sure made a great
first impression.
- Come on,
a Harry Potter game?
It's like fastballs--
right in my wheelhouse.
- Well, maybe we could all go
for a double date sometime.
- Maybe.
I should get going.
- You played great today.
- Thanks.
You too.
I'll, uh, I'll
see you tomorrow.
- See you.
- Dad?
- Yo.
- Hey, we gotta go.
- OK.
- Sweet.
- Do you like it?
- Yeah.
- You inspired me.
Wendy.
- Gavin.
Kate told me
you were in town.
- What happened?
- A fire.
We'll be open again soon.
I just need to get
some documents from the safe.
- Wendy, you don't have
to say it. I know what
you're thinking.
I had no right to come back here
like this and make a play
for Kate.
- Something like that.
- I guess the thing is...
I love Kate.
I love her,
and I'll do whatever it takes
to win her back.
- You have always been
determined, Gavin.
At least you recognize
that it's a game.
- So, do you know anything
about her new boyfriend?
- Yeah.
Yeah, he's a friend of mine.
- Well, tell me about him.
(Rebecca laughing)
- (Rebecca): OK.
(Rebecca laughing)
Yeah.
- Hey, Kate.
- Hi.
- Hey, uh, Dan?
Gavin Malone.
- Pleasure.
- Nice to meet you.
I'm an old friend of Kate's.
Wendy told me about
the fundraiser and obviously
all the great work you guys do,
and I just thought I'd come by
and see if I could help.
- We could always
use another hand.
- Great. I already
grabbed us a cart.
- Let's do it.
- OK, let's do it.
- (Tyler): He looked like
a football player or something.
- [A jock?]
- Yeah, a total jock.
- Dude, you can't compete
with that.
- [I didn't know
I WAS competing.]
What am I gonna do?
- Dump her!
- But I really like her.
- She's a two-timer, dude.
Two-timers are bad news.
- [She keeps texting me.]
- What does she say?
- "Where are you?
Are you coming? Are you OK?"
- [How did you answer?]
- I didn't.
- Good. Make her sweat.
Serves her right.
- I guess.
- You know, I still can't
figure out what a hedge fund is.
- Ah, it's pretty simple,
actually. You know,
we provide an alternative
investment strategy
that works to mitigate loss
and preserve capital.
(Dan chuckles.)
- Now I'm really lost.
You do that from home?
The office? What?
- Well, I work out of my office
down in LA.
- I thought you lived here.
- Not anymore.
- You're the ex.
- You're the new guy.
- Hey.
Carney said that we could keep
the flowers in cold storage
till the afternoon of the ball,
and he offered a % discount
as a donation
to the scholarship fund.
- That's great.
- Fantastic.
Nice job.
- I'm gonna go
get another cart.
- This is so not cool.
- What? I was just
sizing up my competition.
- Did you follow me here?
- All's fair in love...
- Look, if this is your strategy
for winning me back,
you'd better think again.
- Hey.
You're right.
I'm sorry.
Take care of yourself.
- Wait.
Gavin.
That sounded
like goodbye.
- Look, I shouldn't have come
back here.
It was selfish of me to think
that we could just pick up
where we left off--
that you'd even want to.
- I don't know what I want.
- I see the way
he looks at you.
It's pretty hard
to miss.
I mean, it's the way
you used to look at me.
- Don't... don't go, OK?
Not yet.
I just... I need a little time
to figure this out.
- All right, well, um...
will you have dinner with me
tomorrow night?
(doorbell)
- You're here!
I was so worried.
Are you OK?
What is it?
What's wrong?
- I, um...
(He clears his throat.)
- What?
- I...
- You're freaking me out.
- I saw you at the mall
with that boy.
- Boy?
- You were talking to him.
You took his number. You were--
- Wait. Wait.
You came to the mall?
And you just left?
- Well,
yeah. I-I mean, I saw you g--
- Did you get my texts?
- Yeah.
- And you just ignored them?
Wow,
Tyler. Wow.
- Wait! No!
Rebecca! Rebecca. Hey!
Please don't go.
I'm sorry!
OK? I'm really, really sorry.
- You stood me up, Tyler.
That is so not right!
- I know.
I'm an idiot!
It's just, I don't know
what I'm doing here.
I've never done this before.
- Done what before?
- Had a girlfriend.
A Valentine.
- Well, neither have I, but
I'm absolutely positive this is
NOT how you treat her!
- I saw you flirting
with that guy.
- I wasn't flirting!
- He was flirting with you,
then, and you didn't seem
to mind.
Look, I shouldn't have
ditched you like that.
And I shouldn't have
ignored your texts.
I had no excuse except
I was jealous.
- Maybe I was
flirting with him.
He goes to my school,
and all the girls crush on him,
and he's never paid
any attention to me,
and I thought it was cool
that he was.
- Well, of course he was.
You're amazing.
- I guess when you're
somebody's Valentine,
you probably shouldn't flirt
with other guys.
- I mean,
I don't want you not to talk
to other guys, or...
you know, like them.
I just... don't want you
to like them as much
as you like me.
- I don't.
I couldn't.
- Definitely
trouble in paradise.
- I think you're right.
- Yeah, I guess if things don't
work out, she'll quit the team.
- Don't think like that.
- I totally understand.
Don't sorry.
It's not a problem.
- I-I thought
I was over him.
I was over him.
And now I'm not so sure.
- I was in love with somebody
for a long time too.
I get it.
- I'm just...
I'm really confused.
- Well, that's why I should take
myself out of the situation.
- But I don't want you to.
- Listen, listen.
Our time together has been
really nice.
But you should probably focus
on what's happening
with you and Gavin.
Having me in the middle is
just... it's just going
to complicate everything.
- What about
our Valentine date?
- Don't worry
about that.
You're off the hook.
(She sighs.)
So, you got jealous.
- I guess.
- You guess? You saw her
at the mall with another boy,
you jumped to the wrong
conclusion, and you did
a number on yourself.
- Myself?
What do you mean myself?
I was angry at her.
- Well, she didn't know that
until you told her. You were
the one that was getting all
bent out of shape, right?
- Yeah, you're right.
And it stinks, by the way.
- Jealousy does stink.
And it can be
very destructive.
- Were you ever jealous
with Mom?
- Of course, especially
in the beginning.
But, you know, if you really
care about somebody and
you grow to trust them,
then you learn to let
that kind of thing go.
- Good, 'cause I don't ever want
to feel like that again.
- To be honest with you,
I was jealous just today.
A little bit.
With Kate.
- Really? Why?
- 'Cause her old boyfriend's
back in town, and he decided
to drop in on us when we were
shopping for flowers,
and it really bugged me.
- She's two-timing you?
- Where'd you pick up a phrase
like that, huh?
- Alex.
- Ah,
the relationship expert.
No, she was with him
for a long time.
I just happened to meet her
on the rebound.
- So... I guess she's not
your girlfriend anymore?
- She never really was
my girlfriend.
- Hm.
What about this?
- I guess I won't be
needing that, right?
- That's too bad.
She's cool.
- Yeah, she is pretty cool.
Hey, Sal.
- Hey, Dan.
- Chels.
- Dan.
How's it going?
- Good, how you doing?
- Good.
- Hey, I got a question for ya.
- Mm-hmm?
- You're a woman.
- You noticed.
(Chelsea laughs.)
- Look, I don't have
a lot of experience
with these kinds of things.
Laura and I met when
we were just kids.
- Kate broke up with you.
- Yeah.
- Why?
- Her old boyfriend's
back in town.
- Ah, OK, so she said she
didn't want to see you anymore.
- Actually, she said
she was confused.
- Ooh, what did you say?
- I told her I should
just get out of the way.
- So you broke up with her.
- Yeah, technically... yeah.
- I don't know, Dan. If I said
to someone I was confused,
I'd be saying, "I want to talk
to you about this, I want you
to help me not be confused".
- So you actually might want
to still see them?
- If I didn't want to see
someone anymore, I would
just say it. If I said I was
confused, that doesn't mean
I don't want to see you
anymore. Got it?
- Yeah.
- (Tyler): So, you ready?
- I don't think
I can do this.
- Come on, I can't do it alone.
- Why not?
- It's a two-person thing.
- So get Rebecca to do it!
- Dude, it's a surprise.
That's the point.
- Buy her a box of chocolates
or something.
That'll surprise her.
- Come on, it's... I'm going
to a ball with her.
I'll look lame
if I can't dance.
- Things were way cooler
before you had a girlfriend.
- Come on. Get up here, man.
I'll owe you one.
- You won't tell
anybody about this?
- Of course not.
- All right.
But I will not waltz, OK?
- Why not?
- I just don't
like the sound of it.
- Fine, whatever, all right?
No waltzing.
(alarm buzzing)
- What do we got?
- Hotel downtown.
♪
- One, two, three,
one, two, three.
(both laughing)
Oh, my.
I'd better get this girl
for this.
(siren)
(horn blaring)
- You got that? Fourth and
Cameron, south side of the
building. Fourth and Cameron.
- You grab the defib.
- We've got a live one, Joey.
- Copy that.
- Lieutenant Farrell.
I got Pump , Aerial ,
staging on the south side,
C side. I got smoke visible.
- ...under two minutes.
- Good?
- I'm good.
- All right, you guys run along.
We're gonna go check it out.
You two come with me.
- Got it.
- I'm set, let's go.
- Right, guys, let's do this.
- Chop, chop, fellas.
Let's move.
- Let's go.
- All right, you take two,
we're gonna take three, OK?
- Got it.
- Watch the lift.
I got flames.
Some pretty dark smoke up here.
(radio chatter)
(beeping)
- Man down!
- (man): Man down!
- It's Dan!
- You know that thing
that we did near the end,
the thing in three?
- Yeah, that was super fun.
- Waltz.
- No way.
- Way.
- Hai-yah!
- Hold on.
- Hai-yah!
- Hello?
- [Hey, buddy. It's Joey.]
- Hi, Joey.
- [Listen, your dad had
an accident at work.]
- What happened?
- [Don't worry.]
He's gonna be fine.
We just gotta get him
to the hospital to make sure.
He'll be at home
as soon as they release him.
OK. OK, Tyler.
[Talk to you soon.]
- What's wrong?
- It's my dad.
- Hey, what happened in there?
- It was a mask malfunction.
- Well, thank God
for the man-down system.
- It's weird.
You're up there
gasping for breath,
you think about
some pretty scary things.
- Like your life flashing
before you?
- I wasn't thinking
about me.
I was thinking about Tyler.
- All right, let's get you
out of here.
(Dan coughing)
- (man): Good?
- Dad!
- I'm OK.
I'm OK, son.
(phone ringing)
- Hey, Wendy.
- OK, tell me everything.
- [Well, there's really
not much to report.]
Gavin couldn't have been
more charming.
- [Did he ask you
to marry him again?]
- No. No, we just talked.
It was nice.
- Are you still mad at me
for telling him about Dan?
- Furious.
- Kate, he got to me.
[The thing is, remember how
I told you about me and Nick]
and that little hiccup we had
in our relationship
back in the day?
- [Yeah.]
- It was me.
[to see other people, which was
a monumentally bad idea,]
[and after three months of that,
I was desperate to get things
back to normal,]
so... I kind of identify
with what Gavin's going through.
- Wow.
Well, I mean, Gavin is being
awfully sweet.
[He's really trying to make it
about us and not him.]
- So then maybe you guys will
[get back to normal too.]
So, you have plans
for Valentine's Day?
- Yes, he managed to get us
a reservation at Chez Georges.
- [Ooh, and you can
even pronounce it.]
(Wendy chuckles.)
[Wow, expensive, romantic,]
[and extremely hard
to get into.]
He is being really sweet.
- You didn't eat very much.
- Yeah. I'm not
very hungry.
- You usually
inhale carbonara.
- I know, but I think I might
still be feeling the effects
from the smoke.
- So, um, after this,
do you want to play some Wii?
- I don't think so, buddy.
I'm pretty beat.
- So, do you want to watch
some of our shows?
We're way behind.
- Not tonight.
I'm... I'm gonna pass.
- Dad!
Snap out of it!
- Snap out of what?
- OK...
I know you really like Kate.
I mean, duh,
everybody knows that.
- We've talked about it already.
This is not gonna happen with--
- You're moping, Dad!
- Moping?
- You seem like a...
like... like one
of those walking dead!
- [Hi, this is Kate.
Leave me a message.]
(beep)
- Hey, Kate. It'd Dan.
I'm, uh, sorry I missed you.
Um... listen,
there's something I... um...
OK, when I said to you
the other day
that I really enjoy
spending time with you,
it was... an understatement.
I just really wanted you to know
that I...
you know, that I... really love
spending time with you,
and, uh, I'm a firefighter,
you know.
I, uh, I fight,
and, um...
I just wanted you
to know that, uh,
I want to fight for you.
OK.
(beep)
- [To delete message, press .
To save message, press .]
(beep)
- Dad?
- Hey. Uh...
what are you doing
out of bed?
- I heard you talking.
It woke me up.
Was that Kate?
- Yeah,
her voicemail.
- I'm glad
you called her, Dad.
- I, uh, deleted the message.
- Why?
You like her.
She should know that.
- Well, it's...
it's not that simple.
- Well, sure it is.
- When you get older, things get
a little bit more complicated.
You're just a little too--
- Don't say it, Dad.
Don't say I'm too young
to understand.
I like a girl too,
you know?
I know what you're
going through.
- I appreciate that.
- Look, I'm not trying
to give you a hard time.
Just, you've really
helped me out with Rebecca.
I want
to return the favour.
- Get over here.
You want to do me a favour?
You make sure that you get
a good night's sleep tonight,
OK? Because you're going to need
to be on your A game
if you want to sweep this girl
off her feet tomorrow.
You got it?
- All right.
But you shouldn't have
deleted that message.
And you should let Kate know
how you feel.
- Got it.
- [You have no new messages
in your mailbox.]
- Which way are you leaning
shirt-wise? Dark or light?
- Let's see. Here.
I don't know.
I can't really decide.
- You know what
Rebecca's wearing?
- A dress, I guess.
- Yeah,
what colour dress?
- I don't know.
- 'Cause you don't want
to clash.
- Wow, you're really
into this.
- Yeah, I want you to look good
for your girlfriend.
- I thought you thought
girlfriends were lame.
- Maybe not so much
as I used to.
I mean, if Rebecca wanted
to, you know, introduce me
to one of her friends
or something,
that'd be cool.
- Hm. I guess I'll see
what I can do.
- Hey, Chief,
I'm gonna head out and make sure
everything's all set up
for tonight, OK?
I should be back around five.
- OK.
But, Dad,
did I tie this right?
And do you like the colour?
(Dan laughs.)
- Well, the knot's a real
hatchet job, but, yeah,
the colour's great.
- Are ties always
supposed to choke you?
- You notice your old man never
wears one? Try the open collar
with a sport coat.
It's a great look.
- Cool. All right.
- And I'm back at five.
Don't be late.
- All right, later.
- You should try
to come tonight.
It's a fun event.
- Well, thanks, but, uh,
we like to stay in
on Valentine's Day--
you know, have a nice
romantic dinner at home.
- That sounds nice.
- Well, this'll be our rd.
- That's a good run.
- We're not anywhere near done
yet--not if I can help it.
What about, uh,
you and Kate?
- Oh, no, we're--
- Aren't you, uh...
- No, we're just friends.
- Oh. Well,
have fun tonight.
- You too.
- OK. See you.
- Seriously, she tried on
like a dozen dresses before
she found the one she liked.
- You're kidding me.
What a riot.
When I left this morning,
Tyler was trying on suits.
- Aww!
- That's unheard of.
- Aww. Well, they may not be
destined for each other,
my friend, but I cannot imagine
a better first boyfriend
for my why-must-you-grow-up-
so-fast daughter.
- That's very sweet
of you to say.
You never know.
- No, never know.
These arrangements, look
at them, they're knockouts.
Kate really has
an eye, huh?
- Yeah, she sure does.
- Hey, sorry things didn't
work out with you guys.
- It's OK.
I'm cool.
- OK.
- Listen, I'm gonna go home
and get, uh, all gussied up.
See you tonight!
- See you tonight.
- See ya.
Great guy like that should
not be alone on Valentine's Day.
- He won't be;
he'll be with us.
- Which makes it worse.
- Infinitely.
- Well, we saved his life
once before.
There's no reason
we can't do it again.
- No, ma'am, no reason at all.

My favourite.
You remembered.

Open it.

Here we go again.
Kate Burlingham...
will you marry me?
- OK, let's do this.
- Bring it in.
Listen to me. I'm going to be
on the mic working the room, OK?
Now, sometimes these bids are
shout-outs, but a lot of times
the ladies
just raise their paddles,
so I need you to be my spotters.
If there's a bid that I don't
see, you gotta let me know.
- Cool.
- All right, I'm counting
on you. Pound it.
- Pound it.
- Hey.
- Hey, what are you doing?
- There's a been a change
of plan.
- What change of plan?
- Dan is not going to be
dateless on Valentine's Day.
- Ladies and gentlemen,
can I have
your attention please?
Normally you would say
"ladies and gentlemen",
but for this next part,
the fellas have nothing
to do with it.
(loud cheering)
- That's right, that's right.
The moment you've all been
waiting for.
We're about to auction off
date night with one of
Manchester's bravest.
The hot, the sexy,
the one and only,
Mr. Hollywood himself,
firefighter Michael Carrier.
(cheering)
- I need to see you
in the bathroom.
- Just give us a minute, please.
Thank you.
- We want men! We want men!
- Was it something that he ate?
- Oh, I don't know,
but it came on fast.
- Michael's sick?
- (Joey): As a dog.
(Michael retching and coughing)
- See?
- Michael, are you OK?
- (Michael): No!
(Michael retching)
- He can't go on the auction
block like that.
- He has to.
- No, you want him
to hurl on bidders?
- We need a replacement.
- Like who?
(Dan laughs.)
No way. What about you?
- Whoa,
with that 'stache?
Sorry.
- I'm not doing it. No, no, no.
- No, no, no, no.
- It's for the scholarship fund,
Dan.
- It's why we're here.
(Michael retching)
- We want men!
We want men!
- Yep.
- We want men! We want men!
- Thank you for your pat--
- We want men!
- Thank you for your patience,
everybody. Uh, due to...
unforeseen technical
difficulties, Michael Carrier
will not be able to serve as
our auction prize tonight.
(bidders complaining)
I know, I know, I'm sorry.
Not to worry.
We have a substitute.
(cheering)
And this being "win a date
with one of our bravest",
I can tell you from personal
experience that there are
none other braver
than our very own
Lieutenant Dan Farrell!
