01x15 - Happy's Valentine

[bunniefuu]

Okay, I'll ask him.

Yeah, sure he'll want to go.

See you. That was Patricia.

She and Morgan were wondering if we'd like to drive up to Steadman Caves tonight and go camping.

Yes! Yes!

No. No.

Just me and your dad. And what, we'll put the kids in a kennel?

No, they can stay here with the Hamilton kids.

Who's gonna baby-sit?

Not me. No, of course not.

I mean, who's gonna keep an eye on you?

I'm 17. Exactly.

Mom, John and I have dates, Valentine dates.

We can't break them at the last minute.

That'd be totally irresponsible.

I guess we can't go, then.

I have plans.

Me, too. Oh, what plans?

You can't go to the mall, and you can't go on a date.

Yeah, but you said my friends could come over here and watch videos, and I've already called them.

Plus, I can't watch kids and videos at the same time.

And since I can't go out, I thought at least Jimmy could come over and give me a Valentine.

Besides, the last time I baby-sat Simon and Ruthie they escaped, remember? Oh, yeah, I-I remember. And that's why you'd do a better job this time, right?

Hey, don't look at me.

I mean, I have puppies to give away.

I cannot watch Ruthie and Lynn.

We don't need watching.

No, of course you don't need watching, no.

There is no reason why your father and I can't have 24 hours out of the house and all of you do exactly what you've planned, as long as everybody acts responsibly. Mm, honey, did you hear yourself?

"As long as everyone acts responsibly"?

Mary, Keesha and Lucy can watch Simon, Ruthie, Nigel and Lynn tonight.

John and Matt can entertain them tomorrow till we get back.

Oh, go. Just go.

Your father and I will figure this out.

You'll be late for school.

You want me to stick around for this?

Oh, no, honey, you can go play with the puppies, okay? I'll be right in.

Oh, great-- she gets to go play with puppies, and I have to go to school.

Hi. Hi.

Don't you want to go camping with me?

Oh, it's not that I don't want to go.

I-I do want to go, believe me.

It's just, I... I have so much stuff I have to get done this weekend, and, you know, well...

I'm not really much of a camper.

You used to love to go camping.

Love is such a strong word.

Please?

Well, it's really sweet of you to make me feel as if I have some say in this, but if you and Patricia have made a decision, I can't imagine that it's still up for discussion.

They're picking us up at 5:00.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Hee-hee!

Hey, John, wait up.

You hear about this camping trip?

Stroke of luck, huh? What are you talking about? you want to go to the movies tonight, or why don't we just hang out at my parents' house?

No one's home. Yeah, right, except for Mary, Keesha and their friends, and Lucy and her boyfriend, and Simon, Nigel, Ruthie and Lynn.

We'll just tell Keesha and Mary to go to the movies with their friends and take the kids with them-- simple.

Mary and Keesha aren't gonna do that.

Have you asked them?

Well, have you asked them?

There's Keesha, I'll ask her now. Hey, Keesha!

I got to go, guys.

What do I look like, a dog?

Don't just yell my name out like that when I'm with my friends.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Just, uh, Matt and I just wanted to know if you and Mary could... No.

Smooth.

So you just ask Mary. She'll do it.

No, she won't.

Counting on you.

Mommy, do we have to give the puppies away?

Yes, honey, it's time, and they have a good home to go to.

We have a good home, too.

Yes, but I think they're starting to get so big that they're getting in Happy's way.

I get in your way, and you still keep me around.

It's not the same, sweetheart.

It would be like you living here when you're 30.

I have to live somewhere else when I'm 30?

You'll probably want to live somewhere else when you're 30.

Yeah. Maybe even when I'm seven, or maybe eight.

You know, I, uh, I think Dwight's very happy to have the puppies come and live with him-- he's very sweet.

They'll get lots of attention.

He'll take very, very good care of them.

They'll be fine.

I tried.

You can have your friends over anytime.

You don't have to have them over tonight.

Yes, I do. I've already asked them.

And Keesha's got friends coming over, too.

Well, can you at least keep them upstairs?

I mean, do some girl stuff-- what do you call it, makeovers or something?

No, there's no TV upstairs, and we're gonna watch videos; that's the plan.

Okay. You and John can have the den with your dates, and Keesha and I will keep our friends in the living room.

And you'll tell them to keep out of the den?

Yes, I'll tell them to keep out of the den.

Of course, I don't know how you're gonna keep Simon, Nigel, Ruthie and Lynn out of there, but that's your problem.

I hope Mom and Dad are happy.

Jimmy is so mad at me about not going to the movies that he's probably never gonna speak to me again.

You know, maybe you could go to the movies.

I could drive you guys and pick you up, and it wouldn't be a date.

It wouldn't?

No. Not if you take the little kids with you.

Ten bucks.

Ten bucks?

For what? I mean, he's the guy, he'll buy the tickets.

Yeah, but if he buys the tickets, then I should buy the popcorn.

And ten bucks from you, too.

And why would I have to give you ten bucks?

Because if you don't, Jimmy and I will just hang out at the house with you and your friends.

But ten bucks is my whole week's allowance.

Fine, ten bucks, and not a penny more.

So, how was your day?

Well... first I, uh, I dropped by the hospital to see Mr. Wilkerson, who described every detail of his ailing colon.

Then I had to bring the card table by Mrs. Bink's, because she said it's hers.

She only lent it to the church, and, uh, she's playing pinochle with her friends tonight.

Then I, uh, had to run by the market and the drugstore for Mrs. Martin, and then I got stuck in a deacon's meeting where a fight broke out over whether or not we should turn the church restrooms into pay toilets in order to earn money for the building fund.

So it's going to be great to get away from all this and go camping, huh?

Yeah, yeah, I'll just write that sermon in the car.

Well, the puppy stuff is all packed up and ready to go.

Oh, well... guess you might be feeling a little sad about seeing them leave, huh?

Yeah, well, only a little, 'cause Dwight's mom said that I can bring Happy over to visit any time I want.

That is so sweet of her.

You know, Simon, you might want to keep an eye on Happy tonight when the puppies leave to make sure that she doesn't go out and look for them, okay?

Well, actually, Mom, I think Happy's going to be happy to be the only dog in the house again.

I mean, the puppies have been taking a lot of attention away from her.

It's kind of like what Ruthie did to me when she first came home from the hospital-- you guys remember that, right?

Oh, yeah, that must've been very tough on you.

Yeah, but I got through it.

Listen, you guys have a good time camping, and don't worry about not taking us.

We'd much rather stay here.

You really think they'll be okay without us?

Don't worry. You'll get your sermon written.

You always do.

All right.

Okay.

Oh, excuse me.

Matt will drive us.

It'll be almost like a date.

We just have to take the kids with us.

We don't have to sit with them or anything.

Uh, I don't know.

Makes me a little nervous doing something the Reverend wouldn't approve of.

He seems to have some special powers.

He might find out, and that could only mean trouble.

It's not that he wouldn't approve.

It's just that, in this case, it'd be better to tell him after the fact.

He'd probably think it was very generous of us to take them along.

Can they read subtitles?

Subtitles?

Yeah. Remember the French film we saw the first time I came over to your house?

Well, it's in release now.

I thought it'd be kind of romantic if we went to see that.

Well, is anything playing at the same cineplex that they'd want to see?

There's an animation retrospective, but I hate animation.

So? We can let the kids go see that, and we'll see the French movie.

I thought we were supposed to be baby-sitting.

We'll be right next door.

Who's going to know?

You're really a risk taker.

I like that. It's kind of exciting.

Thanks.

See you later.

Yeah. See you.

Bye, Mommy. Bye, Daddy.

Have a good time camping.

Oh, don't you want to kiss us good-bye?

No.

You know, one of these days, I'm going to be moving out and getting my own family, too.

Um, she was a little upset about giving away the puppies.

Oh. Well, uh, maybe we shouldn't leave her alone, you know?

I mean, not too late to change our minds about going.

Yes, it is.

Hi! Hi.

Welcome. Hey.

Mom and Dad are waiting at the car. Okay, thanks.

I want to see the puppies. Me, too.

Um, hey, you know, don't stay up too late and don't eat too much junk food and have a good time.

How are they going to have a good time if they can't eat junk food and stay up late?

Hi! Hey.

Well, you two are on your own, I guess...

You're on your own.

Oh, I already got the lecture from my dad, so...

Okay, well, um... tell him whatever your dad told you.

Bye, guys.

See ya.

Bye.

Okay, Keesha and Mary are going to keep their friends in the living room, Lucy and Jimmy are taking the kids to the movies.

Not bad.

Hey, guys.

How would you like to go to the movies tonight?

No. No. No, thank you.

No, thank you.

But it's a cartoon retrospective.

What's that?

It has all your old favorite cartoons.

We've seen that already.

Well, it was good, wasn't it?

Yeah, it was good.

Well, then don't you want Simon and Ruthie to see it?

Not really.

I want to stay here.

Me, too.

You're going to the movies.

Hi, guys.

Simon, Dwight and his mom are here for the puppies.

I'm not going to watch, it'll just make me sad.

That's okay, Ruthie, it's my responsibility.

There you go.

Come on, little guys.

Come on, Happy, time to say good-bye.

Honey, I don't think you realize how much work puppies are.

Oh...!

Oh, look at those little babies.

They are the cutest things I've ever seen!

I told you.

See, Happy, they're going to be fine.

Look, I'll help you get them in the car.

Oh, that's okay, we can manage.

Uh, wait.

What are you going to name them?

Oh, I think we should name them Little Precious and Sugar Plum, they're so sweet.

Actually, since there's a boy and a girl, I was thinking about naming them Simon and Ruthie.

You're a good man, Dwight.

Thanks, Simon.

And you bring Happy over to visit any time you like, you hear?

All right. Okay.

Bye, Simon, see you around.

See you guys. Bye.

Bye-bye. Bye.

You know maybe I shouldn't go to the movies, maybe I should just stay here and watch Happy.

Oh, it's okay, I'll watch her, she'll be fine.

I thought you had a date.

I do, but I tell you what, I'll bring her back here, and we'll give Happy all the attention she can stand.

Then I guess it'll be okay.

Sure it will.

You know I love this dog.

Here.

Okay, here you go, four tickets for the cartoon movie, and the door is right there.

Wait a minute, what about you and Jimmy?

We're going to another movie.

We'll be right next door.

Ten bucks.

What for?

Popcorn.

I want ten bucks, too.

Snacks are expensive.

Here.

This is two weeks' worth of allowance.

Come on.

It'll still be fun.

Why do I still have a bad feeling about this?

So you guys make yourselves comfortable and I'll get us something to drink.

What would you like?

Oh, I've got what I want right here.

And you?

I'm fine, just fine.

What's that? I thought we were going to be alone. Oh, it's cool.

Mary and Keesha just have some friends over.

They're staying in the living room, though.

Yeah, we'll just tell them to turn it down a little.

Hey, guys, come on in.

What do you think you're doing?

You were supposed to be having a few girlfriends over.

Yeah, well, they brought some guys with them.

What are you going to do?

We're dead.

They'll k*ll us.

So I guess we might as well enjoy ourselves, right?

Absolutely. Let's go.

I hate bugs.

There aren't any bugs. It's too cold.

I hate cold.

I hate sleeping on the cold damp ground.

They brought air mattresses.

I hate dirt.

Maybe it'll snow and cover it up.

Oh, wouldn't that be great? I just hate camping.

Yeah, but you love your wife.

Yeah, I haven't even begun writing my sermon for Sunday... for this Sunday.

I'll let you use mine.

Yeah, right.

What's it about?

I'm drawing a parallel between Moses leading his people out of Egypt and Martin Luther King leading us out of our past.

That is beautiful.

That is really... beautiful.

Actually, though, I wish I'd seen that one.

Now that is hot.

I hope so. It's freezing up here.

And those two fools didn't want to go camping.

Yeah, like we did this for us.

They both need a vacation. I know.

What's that?

Here. Here.

You need this?

Yeah.

Morgan Hamilton, was that your beeper?

Where did you get that cellular phone?

I, um... borrowed it from one of the deacons, you know, in case there's an emergency.

You promised me you'd leave church business behind tonight.

I meant to, honey, honest.

I just forgot to turn off my beeper.

I don't even recognize this number.

I'll just check it out.

Just one call then I'm turning it off, I promise.

Yes, this is Reverend Hamilton.

I see.

Yeah, she's here.

Hello?

I guess that's none of our business.

Of course it isn't.

It's Patricia's ex.

He calls her every Valentine's Day.

It was their anniversary.

Patricia's what?

She got married out of high school, didn't even last a year, but this fool has got to look her up every Valentine's Day.

What?

You're the one who wore the beeper.

"All my love on this first Valentine's Day together.

Love, Lucy."

"If a pretty girl is like a melody... how come you're such a strain?"

Since we came to a heavy movie, I thought I'd go with a light card.

His name is Chris.

He's a star player at Westside, broke up with his girlfriend after Christmas, 3.8 grade point average, and the rest, well, you can see for yourself.

Yes, I can.

You want me to introduce you?

I can take care of it.

Uh-oh. We got trouble.

No, I'll give her a minute, then I'll butt in.

No, those guys over there.

So, you're 18, huh?

Practically, yeah.

Hey, you two, no alcohol.

It's just beer, man.

Who are you?

This is my house.

Get rid of the beer, now.

Uh, could I have a word with you alone?

That guy is too old for you.

No, he's not, he's my age... practically.

Looks like your date's getting a little bored.

Oh, this stew... is really good.

Delicious.

It sure is.

Oh, you know, I brought my guitar.

We could sing after dinner.

Oh, I don't think I'm in the mood for that.

Maybe later.

I doubt it.

Well, I'll help Annie clean up.

Morgan will help you clean.

I'm going to bed.

I guess I'm feeling a little tired myself.

I can't believe after 20 years that guy still manages to ruin every Valentine's Day.

Oh, look, I'm sorry I brought that phone.

I just thought we might want to check up on the kids later.

You sure you want to do that?

Well, I don't want them to think that we don't trust them, but I don't want them to think that I don't care.

I just have this feeling, and please tell me I'm wrong, that they might be doing something stupid, like, I don't know, throwing a party?

You know they're having a party.

The question is, how big a party?

No, see, you're supposed to tell me I'm wrong.

Here's what we should do.

Call Sergeant Michaels down at the station and get him to drive by and check on them.

Right.

Routine patrol.

If he doesn't see anything wrong, he doesn't have to go in.

I'm sorry.

You know I care about you.

Yeah, right.

Look, what do you want me to say?

It's not so much what I want you to say, it's more what I want you to do-- in the way of an apology.

You mean, uh...?

That's exactly what I mean.

We have to go home now.

What's this?

The cops are here, man!

Uh-oh.

Man.

Dad, what are you doing here?

Dad?

Sergeant Michaels is your dad?

Are you serving alcohol at this party?

I swear, sir. It's just us.

Call your mother to pick you up.

Dad, please, can't you just give me a ride?

Call your mother.

Alone in the kitchen with a guy you don't even know?

We were just talking.

Why's everyone leaving?

Excuse me, officer. No one was drinking.

Just these two morons we don't even know.

I just got them a ride home.

There is something else.

Does Simon still have that little white dog?

Yeah, Happy.

I just found her on the side of the street.

I'm afraid she's been hit by a car.

I got her to an animal hospital, but I think I should get you down there right away.

You want to talk about it?

You want to talk about it?

Yes, I want to talk about it.

After 20 years, you finally want to talk about Kevin?

Oh, Kevin's his name, huh?

He calls himself "Patricia's first husband."

What kind of name is Kevin anyway?

What is he, Irish or something?

As a matter of fact, he is Irish.

What?

No, you have always said you didn't want to know anything about the man.

Irish?

You got a problem with the Irish?

He-He's-He's Irish Irish?

That's right. He's white.

Now would it bother you as much if he was a black man?

Well, yes, it would.

As long as he called on Valentine's Day every year, yes, it...

Irish?

Yes.

You want to know anything else?

No.

I can't believe she was married before.

No, me neither.

See, aren't you glad we came here?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

And I'm glad you're not mad about the phone anymore.

Oh, no.

You know what I think we should do?

Oh, I hope so.

No.

I think we should call the kids and see if they're okay.

Oh, I don't know.

I mean, they'll think we don't trust them.

They know we don't trust them.

Hand me the phone.

Hello?

Okay, yeah, no, we're leaving right now.

What, the kids? Are the kids okay?

No, it was Sergeant Michaels.

It's Happy.

She's been hit by a car.

Is she...?

No, they took her to the hospital.

I have her stabilized.

Why don't you go home and wait?

We won't know anything for a while, and I'll call you.

I'd hate to leave her.

Does Simon know yet?

No.

You go take care of your brother, I'll take care of your dog.

You know, I don't usually stay here all night, but tonight I'll make an exception.

Thank you. Thank you, Doctor.

Thanks a lot.

Come on, son. I'll drive you home.

This was such a stupid idea.

What was I thinking?

Those kids are too young to stay on their own.

Don't. Don't say it.

I wasn't going to say anything.

Really.

I just hope Happy's okay.

If she isn't...

I'm sure she is, really. She'll be fine.

I'd love to know how she got out.

How did one little dog get past all those kids without anybody seeing her?

Happy could have gotten out no matter who was home.

That front door is opened and closed 50 times a day.

I just hate being away from Simon at a time like this.

We'll be home in an hour.

An hour seems like forever, Eric.

I know, I know.

I should have never talked everyone into this.

You're supposed to say, "You didn't talk anyone into this."

You all wanted to come.

I wanted to come.

Honey, the dog wasn't your fault.

Well, I still feel responsible.

Yet you take no responsibility for that jerk calling every year.

See, I heard that, okay?

Get over it.

Me get over it?

Looks like you should be the one to get over it.

And I can still hear you.

I meant for you to hear me.

By the way, how did Sergeant Michaels happen to have your cellular number?

Oh, uh...

Well, funny thing.

Morgan and I called him earlier just, you know, so he could maybe ride by the house, kind of an unofficial yet routine check, just to, you know, make sure everything's okay.

If Happy isn't okay, I will never forgive myself.

I'm sorry.

This whole thing got out of hand because I invited too many people.

Simon and Nigel got us kicked out of the movies.

They were throwing popcorn.

Don't ask.

When I picked them up, the manager chewed my ear off.

You guys go get your pajamas on.

Yeah, I'll read you a story.

Where's Simon?

Racing Nigel to the bathroom.

Extra-large orange drinks.

We could have dropped you off.

Oh, I wanted my Mom to pick me up so we could have a moment together.

Really? Yeah.

Sorry about that Valentine.

It was really lame.

Oh. I see.

You want to apologize?

Yeah.

That's okay.

Uh, that's my mom. I better go.

Your mom's out front.

Lucy?

Yeah?

Some day I will kiss you.

I just don't want it to be because of some artificial holiday when my feelings for you are real.

Well, bye.

Bye.

You didn't tell Simon, did you?

Tell me what?

Um, could you guys leave us alone?

Thanks.

What's going on? Where's Happy?

Um, Simon....

Where's Happy?

What have you done with Happy?

Simon, I had to take her to the hospital.

There was an accident.

An accident?

What kind of an accident?

She was hit by a car.

What?

You were supposed to be watching her!

Why weren't you watching her?

You knew she'd go after the puppies.

You knew it!

Dr. Moore says she'll call us as soon as she knows something.

Simon! No! Don't!

I want my dog.

And you're either going to take me there or I'm going to walk there myself!

Dr. Moore said she won't know anything for hours.

I don't care what she says!

Happy's going to know that I'm not there!

Simon, come on. I hate you!

You were supposed to be watching her!

I hate you!

Come here.

Happy! I want Happy!

Let me go!

Come on, Simon. Come here.

I just want Happy.

I'll take you to her, okay?

I'll take you. Don't cry.

I'll take you.

I just want Happy.

I'm here, girl. I'm here.

It's gonna be okay.

I won't leave you.

I'll never leave you again.

Hey, are Mom and Dad home yet?

Yeah, he's, uh... he's in there with her now.

No, she's-she's doing better, a lot better.

No, no. No, she is.

Look, I'll-I'll...

I'll call you back in a half hour.

All right. Bye.

Happy is not doing a lot better.

Now, you know that, right?

In fact, she's just about the same.

Yeah, I know. I just didn't want the kids to worry with my parents away.

I'll let them know what's going on when they get home.

I wish I knew if Matt were telling me the truth.

I don't think Matt would lie on top of everything that's happened.

If he had bad news, he would.

I'm sure Happy's better.

You want me to just go down there?

Where's Simon?

Matt took him to see Happy.

Oh, how's Happy doing?

He just called and said she was doing better.

Oh, great.

Keesha, John, go help your brother and sister pack up.

We're going home.

Tell them I'm in no mood for a fight, so hustle.

Are they on their way home?

I mean did Matt say exactly what was wrong?

I mean, is anything broken?

Does Happy need stitches?

Annie, why don't we just call?

You can't. You just get a machine.

That's why Matt said he'd call back.

He didn't give me any details.

How's Simon holding up?

Mom, I'm sure he's okay, especially if Happy's okay.

Mary, why don't you go help out upstairs?

Okay.

While we're waiting for Matt to call, I, for one, would like to know what actually went on here tonight.

We usually separate them and interrogate them individually.

Well, I can usually get it out of Ruthie.

I don't know if that's going to work tonight, but I'll take Lucy and Mary and you give Ruthie a sh*t?

And I'll take John and Nigel.

What? They're more afraid to lie to me than to you.

Fine. I'll talk to Keesha and Lynn.

We-we didn't want to just go off and leave the kids here by themselves. I mean....

I don't know. About 20 kids?

20 or 30. 35 at the most.

They were here when we got here. Honest.

We couldn't help it.

We didn't invite any guys.

They just brought them with them.

I just wanted Mary to meet him and his sister was coming over here anyway.

And once we saw what was going on, we couldn't just leave.

You should have seen this guy hitting on Keesha.

It wasn't really a date, more like creative baby-sitting.

They were dying to see those old cartoons, and you know how kids are once they get something on their little brains.

They made us go.

We already saw those old cartoons.

Because Jimmy hates animation, and it's not like they could read subtitles.

Uh... The $20 you gave me?

Um...

John gave us some money to change our minds.

We got a candy bar that was as big as my head.

We didn't eat all of it.

We picked out the nuts.

And Lucy gave me some money when we got there, too.

We really cleaned up.

Because we had to pay her, and it's not like she didn't want to go.

We didn't do anything.

We didn't even hold hands.

We were good.

Simon and Nigel were the ones who got in trouble.

We spilled a little popcorn. That's all.

They were throwing it at people, and the man put a light on us.

Did I say spilled?

I meant we were throwing it at people.

No one was drinking or doing anything bad.

Oh, wait.

Two of them were drinking.

But it was just beer and Matt told them not to.

Yeah, but that was Sgt. Michael's son, and boy, was he mad.

Not that you're not mad, see.

I'm really sorry, especially about the way things turned out.

Believe me, it will never happen again.

It was completely irresponsible.

I confess, we made a mistake.

I still say, I didn't do anything wrong.

We mostly sleeped.

I don't think we're ever going to know exactly what happened.

Sometimes it's best not to know.

Oh, was that a remark?

No, that wasn't a remark.

Hey...

What was that for?

That's for divorcing what's-his-name so we could have the last 20 years together.

Aww.

Oh, stop it, you two.

Come on, kids!

I want to get home before Valentine's is over.

Good night. Thank you for everything.

We had a really good time.

Excuse her. She's had too much sugar.

Sorry for all that trouble.

Call us in the morning and let us know about Happy.

Bye-bye... Thanks.

Good night.

Hello. Matt?

Yeah, how are you guys doing?

How's Happy?

Uh-huh... Uh-huh...

Well, I tell you what.

I'm not tired.

Maybe I'll just ride down there.

Okay, see ya.

Where are they? Why aren't they here?

He was lying when he called before, wasn't he?

Well, here's the thing.

Happy isn't quite out of the woods yet.

Maybe I'll just take a ride down to the hospital and sit with Simon and Matt.

Not without me.

What's going on? How's Happy?

Look, Mom, Dad, if you're going to go down there, please take us with you.

Please.

Please.

Let's go.

Yeah, come on.

Dad.

Matt, it's okay. He told us. We all want to be here.

We'd have been here sooner, if we knew what was going on.

It was my fault.

I said I'd watch Happy, and I didn't, so I should have to be the one to deal with this.

Matt, we found about everything.

This was definitely not all your fault.

And besides, we want to be here.

We love Happy too, you know.

Yeah.

But I really should have stopped the party.

If I'd made everybody leave when I got home, Happy would have never gotten out.

There shouldn't have been a party.

There shouldn't have been any dates at the house, There shouldn't have been any movies.

Your mom and I probably should have planned this whole camping thing better.

This was everybody's fault and nobody's fault.

It was an accident.

Punish me; I'd feel better.

There'll be plenty of punishment to go around tomorrow.

Starting with no more parties.

Believe me. We will never have another party.

Of course not, and you'll never go to another party either.

Right.

And we'll pay for the damage.

We'll deal with that tomorrow, too.

I'm just glad you were here with Simon.

He hates me, you know.

He's never going to forgive me.

Yes, he will.

As soon as Happy's okay, Simon will be okay.

Where are they?

Back here, come on...

Okay, you guys wait out here, okay?

For a little while.

Your child conked out about a half hour ago.

How's Happy?

The vital signs are good, but we just can't seem to wake her up.

You're all welcome to stay, but we won't know anything until the morning.

And even then, I can't promise anything.

I don't think we're going anywhere.

You guys want me to get you some coffee or something to eat or something?

No, no, honey, we're fine.

You must be exhausted.

Why don't you go home and get some rest.

Not a chance.

Okay.

Happy, you're okay!

Matt! Matt!

Matt!

She's okay!

Look, Happy's okay.

Yes, Simon, I believe you're right.

You're gonna have to watch her closely, though, for the next 24 hours.

Don't worry.

I'm going to be watching her closely the rest of my life.

Well, I want to see her Monday morning.

I'll go start the paperwork.

Thank you, Doctor.

So when did you guys get here?

I think it was around midnight.

We slept in the waiting room.

But first we said a little prayer for Happy.

Everyone was here for you, girl. Everyone.

Did you know that?

She probably didn't, but I'm sure she knew you were sleeping there right next to her.

I'm so glad she's okay.

So, am I forgiven?

Well, I forgive you, but I don't know about Happy.

I think a few apologies are in order here, right, girl?

I'm really sorry, Happy.

Me, too, Happy.

Yeah... me, too.

I had nothing to do with it.

Nevertheless, Happy, we all hope you'll forgive us.

No more parties, girl, and no more movies for a long, long time.

So you guys know about...

The popcorn incident? Oh, yeah, we know.

Well, I guess we can talk about that later, huh, Dad?

I guess we could.

Happy Valentine's Day, Happy.

I love you.
