An Unexpected Valentine (2025)

Post by bunniefuu »

Good morning, New York City.

It's a balmy 52 degrees out.

There's still time

to get chocolate or flowers

for that special someone...

maybe an umbrella

while you're at it...

because we're in

for a rainy night.

But don't let a few sprinkles

spoil your plans...

after all,

it is Valentine's Day,

and you just never know

where Cupid's arrow

will strike next.

Careful, you don't wanna pop it!

- Sorry! Pardon.

- It's okay. It's all right.

Knock-knock.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Oh! I love them.

Thank you so much.

All right everyone,

picture this...

Fashion Week...

but edible.

- Mm!

- Introducing...

"What's Inside Your Purse?"

Now, we all know

that purses are a symbol

of practicality and fashion,

but here, each piece

is crafted to deliver

a world-class

chocolate experience...

with a very personalized touch.

Now, we are reinterpreting

a fashion accessory

to be a thrilling experience.

It's indulgent,

it's glamorous...

there's a hint of mystery.

Mm, so they're beautiful

and delicious?

You bet.

That is a rich milk chocolate

with mango

and just a hint of ginger.

Mm!

And now, these purses

aren't just fun...

they are the connection

between the beauty of design

and also the joy of

good, old-fashioned chocolate.

To me, What's Inside Your Purse?

Allows women the chance

to express

not only who they are,

but who they want to be,

with their very, very unique

flavor combinations.

Now, imagine gifting this

at a wedding

to your mother, a best friend,

or...

even that special someone...

on Valentine's Day.

I love it.

Great job.

You've got everyone hooked.

Fashion and chocolate?

It's genius!

I mean, any time

you want to move

from product development

to marketing,

there's a space for you.

Thank you.

I really just wanted

to do something

that was, you know,

fun and luxurious.

Yeah, but so,

what's with the mystery angle?

It sounds very personal.

Yeah, I just wanted

to play into the romance.

Everyone loves surprises.

As long as

it's with the right person.

Oh, absolutely.

You know me... I love love.

Nothing like it.

Well, here's to surprises...

the sweet kind,

and the unexpected.

Ooh, I like that.

I'll take both.

Do you have any plans tonight?

You know, now that you're over

Valentine's Day?

Hold on!

I am not "over" Valentine's Day.

I'm just...

I'm over all of the, you know,

the apps and the mixers,

and the single this-and-that.

It's just...

It's just too much.

Fair enough, but you'll still be

at the Palentine's Day

launch party tonight, right?

I... actually think

I'm gonna skip this year,

and not because I'm over

Valentine's Day... I'm not.

I just... this year,

I want to stay in my pajamas

and just order food and chill.

Hannah, I could

really use your help.

I mean, if you could

just drop by

and share your passion,

you know...

help give these purses

the attention they deserve?

You're so good

at the promotional stuff.

Maybe, but there'll be

a ton of clients there,

and you're the expert.

I mean, you know

about the designs,

the ingredients, the history.

You put all this together!

This is gonna cost you a lunch...

a very expensive lunch.

Done!

Champagne pops at nine

and just, you know,

send me all the info,

and I'll help put together

talking points.

- Okay.

- Thank you!

You say you love

my new direction,

yet here I am,

in the back of the gallery.

Not very prominent.

Don't be so sensitive.

You have to trust me, Finn...

think of it like the Mona Lisa.

You know, tucked away

in your own private area,

creating all sorts of allure,

and, hopefully,

a higher price tag.

Interesting strategy.

So, did you miss me,

or did you just come here

to check in on me?

I thought you were busy all day.

Ah, just checking on my pieces.

You've shown here

a million times.

Seven times, and all landscapes.

Just because

I want to try something new

doesn't mean

anyone's gonna like it.

Look, Finn.

This hangdog mentality

is not gonna

get you where you want.

Art...

is about self-discovery,

vulnerability,

and most importantly, belief...

and I believe in you,

no matter how many showings

it takes...

so just be here!

Yeah...

about that...

Don't tell me

you have Valentine's Day plans?

No, no.

It's not a day

I like to celebrate.

Well, this show

is the perfect distraction.

Plus, buyers love

meeting the artist.

Yeah, but I don't like to lurk

and sway anyone's opinion.

They're either gonna like it

or they won't.

Look.

Someone can love your piece,

but if they're contemplating

investing in it, taking it home,

they want to know something

about the artist on their wall.

You're good.

I'll be here.

I can't promise you when,

but... I will make it.

Champagne's at nine.

No, no, no, that's not

where the Sad Snake goes!

Okay,

here's what I'm thinking...

we start with

how we came up with the idea

for What's Inside Your Purse?

Right? Keep it short and sweet,

and then we just jump right

into the designs and flavors.

Really? Okay, good. Great.

Thanks so much.

Great.

Okay, I think this is her.

Uh, that's...

Uh, Finn?

Gabby. Hi.

Uh, this is Finn.

Hi. Wow, that was...

so fast!

Are... Are you... I didn't realize

this was a group ride.

It is, yeah.

We were just around the corner.

Hop in.

Okay.

Hey there.

- Hey.

- What's up?

- You really pack 'em in.

- Yeah!

Today, I do, but there's

plenty of room in the back,

as long as

you don't get carsick.

You know what?

It's a short ride.

Yeah, it's fine.

Uh, could you just unlock it?

Oh, yup.

You're good. My bad.

- Great.

- That one's on me.

No problem.

Thank you.

Okay.

All right. Buckle up!

All right...

off we go!

Sorry, hi...

do you two...

do you mind if we switch seats?

What was that?

I think

she needs to switch seats.

Thank you.

Finn, I think

we need to pull over.

Why? No one's getting sick

back there, are they?

No, I'm fine.

I'm just a little...

Yeah. Uh, quick game

of musical chairs, everybody.

Um, first up...

H-Hannah. It's Hannah, right?

Uh-huh.

Okay, you're up.

You can sit here.

Thank you.

Or here.

I'm super-fine in the back.

I can always squeeze

back there with you.

You two lovebirds stay there.

Here, I'll swap.

- Sorry. Thank you.

- No, no need to apologize.

Excuse me. Sorry. Thanks.

Ohh.

So, you do get carsick?

Yeah, thanks for...

thanks for broadcasting that.

This traffic isn't helping.

Might have

been your driving, too.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Yeah, my pleasure.

Oh, uh, Finn?

Yeah?

Don't work too hard, all right?

Or too late.

It can get real interesting

after midnight.

Gotcha.

Uh, I hope you feel better.

Oh, thank you so much.

See ya.

All right.

This is good.

Right here, please.

Thanks for the lift.

My pleasure.

You're gonna love

Moonlit Lounge.

Enjoy your dinner.

Thanks. See ya!

You feeling any better?

A lot better.

Thanks so much.

That was a close call,

but I'm good.

Hey, by the way, um,

help yourself

to anything you'd like.

Unfortunately,

I don't have any ginger,

but...

I have a lot of candy rings.

Is this for Valentine's Day?

Afraid so.

That's pretty adorable.

Mm... is it?

Yeah!

It's... it's cute.

It's thoughtful.

Yeah, 'cause people love

that kind of stuff, but...

don't you find the whole holiday

just obligatory?

No.

Come on. Really?

I mean, you only

have to participate

if you want to...

if it means something to you

that year.

Otherwise, pass.

You don't feel pressured

or, like, left out,

if you're single?

Nope.

So you must be

a full participant

in the love-fest.

No. I love the holiday, yes.

Love the holiday, but this year,

I'm not celebrating

in the traditional sense.

What? Why not?

I'm sorry. Nope.

You don't have to answer that.

You know what?

I actually find

a candid conversation

with a complete stranger

totally refreshing.

Same.

Let's just say...

I have put far too much time

into the wrong relationships

the past few years,

so I'm taking a pause.

Mm-hmm.

You know, making space

for the right person...

and I do believe he's out there,

and he will show up

when the time is right,

and that's what

I keep telling myself.

You? Is it...

Does that make sense?

That makes complete sense, yeah.

Uh, me?

Let's see.

Uh, well, there's a reason

that I work all day.

Obligatory holidays

don't rate real high on my list,

especially ones that haven't

been all that lucky for me.

I don't know about luck

and fate and serendipity.

I mean...

I like the idea,

but I'm just not really sure

what I think

about any of them anymore.

- Hmm.

- Lose something?

I... can't find it.

It's not here.

What's not?

Uh, my phone.

Do you happen to remember

if I had my phone

when I got in the car?

I don't recall if you had it

when you moved up here.

Uh, it's probably in the back.

I'm so sorry.

I really need my phone.

Do you mind if we pull over?

Not at all.

It could've slid back here.

- What's all that?

- My main job. Photographer.

Hmm.

- Though I am not seeing it.

- Oh!

Found my phone.

Nice!

Oh... wait.

This is not good.

Whatcha find?

Please tell me you know

who this belongs to?

No, I've never seen that.

You do realize

what this is, right?

And?

A little box...

a little ring-sized box?

Yeah, I mean,

that much I can see.

It's Valentine's Day!

Oh, no.

Wow!

This is not good.

No.

But... uh, I think...

I think we have a protocol

for this kinda thing.

You do?

For finding an engagement ring

on Valentine's Day?

That's in your driver's manual?

Yeah. Yup. I think so.

Yeah? What's it say?

Um...

that I will...

take care of it

after I stock up the car

for the passengers.

But wait.

Where are you going?

You can't

just leave the car here.

This is a loading zone.

Ah, don't worry about it.

I do it all the time.

Oh, cool.

Doesn't mean you should.

Is this gonna take long?

It should only take

a couple of minutes.

Internal report?

Internal... report.

It's all good.

It's just prompts.

Oh, love prompts.

Uh-huh. Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah. Got it.

Any luck?

Uh... kinda.

How do you "kinda" have luck?

Well, no one has called in

about a missing engagement ring,

but I'll definitely turn it in.

To where? When?

Headquarters.

Uh, not until tomorrow morning.

They're out in Brooklyn.

But the owner

will eventually get it back.

Can you hold these?

But-But... not... not today?

Correct. Not today.

But it has to be.

I mean, this ring

was clearly meant for tonight.

Tonight?

What makes you so sure?

It's Valentine's Day.

I mean, it's so romantic.

Oh, my gosh!

Ah! Yes!

A thousand times, yes!

No, no.

We... We're...

Sorry. We're not...

This is...

This is not what you think.

Oh, it...

it's her first proposal.

No, it's not.

This is not a...

Well, you two

are so cute together!

I know, right? Told you.

- 100%.

- Thank you.

Thank you!

Post that!

"Click!"

I couldn't resist.

A proposal after an hour?

You really do

think highly of yourself.

It was kind of

a romantic moment.

All right, I think

you're probably right.

That ring is for tonight.

Exactly,

which is why we have

to return it...

before midnight.

Yeah, but to whom?

Well, how many rides

have you had today?

You three and... one other.

Okay, that's not too bad.

Unless this was from yesterday?

No, not possible.

I clean out Oscar

at the end of every night.

You've named your car?

My niece named it, yeah.

So, that ring box

is definitely from today.

Okay, great.

This should be easy to retrace.

I can't retrace my steps.

This day's a beast.

I have prebooked rides,

regular rides, and deliveries.

Food. Flowers. Balloons.

You name it.

In fact, I have a bouquet to get

pretty much right now, so...

Okay, so...

so, what if it's quick?

I also have

a gallery showing at 9:00.

And I have a work party that

my friend really needs me at,

at 9:00, too,

so, super-quick?

You don't give up, do you?

Listen, I just...

I feel terrible.

Why do you feel terrible?

It was my ride.

Because...

Because someone

probably dropped this

when we moved seats...

when I made everyone move seats.

Okay, hang on.

You didn't

make anyone do anything.

You politely asked,

and either way,

it was just a quick swap.

Well, then how else

do you explain it?

- I, uh...

- Right?

We have to return this ring.

Tonight.

We?

Or you. I mean, if you don't

want my help that's fine.

I...

It doesn't matter

how you feel about the day,

but the day after

Valentine's Day

doesn't really have

the same impact.

I mean, think about it...

would you really

want your story to be,

"We were gonna get engaged

on Valentine's Day,

and then there was that

whole lost-the-ring thing."

Do you give people Christmas

presents on December 26th?

Okay.

I would do this myself

if I had a car, but I-I don't,

so, I-I can help

with the drop-offs.

I can help with the pick-ups.

So... what?

You would be like my runner?

Yes. Just to help you

make up the time

until we get this ring back.

You know, I have a feeling

it's that cute young couple.

Nate and Nadine?

Yes, sure.

Nate and Nadine.

They seemed like they were

super into each other.

Kind of in, like,

a real life, you know,

Romeo and Juliet kind of

into each other.

You remember how that one ended?

Yes, my noble fellow...

that is why we have to avoid

a tragic ending.

You really want to do this?

It's not so much about "want"...

it's more about, you know,

I think it's our...

our duty to humanity

and common goodness,

or whatever, you know?

Whoever bought this ring,

they need it for tonight.

Uh-huh.

Um, I...

No, that...

That wasn't necessary.

No, it absolutely was.

How much is one stop

really gonna set you back?

Um... it's Manhattan.

Thanks.

I mean, I don't think

either one of us

wants to ruin someone's

Valentine's Day proposal.

Come on, it will be like

a backwards scavenger hunt.

It'll be fun.

Oh, totally.

I mean, that's what I call

driving around Manhattan

on one of the busiest nights

of the year.

"Fun."

Where is

your Valentine's Day spirit?

Please?

Pretty please?

Hmm?

Pretty please?

All right, all right, fine!

Put the puppy-dog eyes away.

But you're riding shotgun.

Yes!

And, look,

I'm not trying to be difficult...

you know that's not me.

I want you to be happy.

You didn't seem happy earlier,

so, now you're in

a more lively space...

still alluring, but...

Listen, I'm hardly a salesman.

Do what you do.

You're the gallery owner.

Oh! Now you say that.

Just get here,

so we can toast your brilliance.

Yeah, you mean your brilliance?

Oh, if you insist.

All right.

Just a few more stops.

Okay, I'll keep

the champagne chilled.

Okay.

What?

This is a big deal.

Nah. I am one of many artists.

Who is clearly downplaying it.

Look, when

I'm just doing photography,

then we'll talk.

Although,

I do think I'd miss this.

I, too, enjoy chatting

with random strangers.

Yeah, you mentioned that.

Yeah, and luckily for you,

my gift of the gab

is how I know our ring owners.

Our potential owners.

Who are currently taking

a cooking class

somewhere near

where we dropped them off.

You think we'll find them?

Yes, but we do need

to make a quick stop first.

- This it?

- Yup.

All right.

What's the order name?

I'll run in.

Uh... "Lovewell."

It's paid for.

You can just grab it.

Okay.

Be right back.

Watch your step.

Order up for Daglow...

Vail, Mellusso...

McNamara!

It's right over here.

Uh, Lovewell?

Excuse me,

is there an order ready

for Lovewell, by any chance?

Yeah, I'm just finishing up.

You can't rush love.

Wow. This is...

This is massive.

Well, we want to make sure

your partner is massively happy.

Oh, no. This doesn't

have anything to do with me.

Selfless acts never do.

No, I mean,

I'm just the courier.

Yeah, my ex-boyfriend

ran off to Tahiti

to teach surfing lessons...

so, definitely not for him!

Yeah, well, his loss.

Just make sure you hold it

from the bottom there.

Lovewell's fragile.

Well, no, I can tell

she's, uh, real delicate.

Next! We have Cooper.

- Sorry.

- Lopez!

Excuse me. Sorry.

Could you just grab the door?

Could you...

Thank you.

That's not a bouquet...

that is a centerpiece

from the Met Gala.

- And it's a heavy one!

- Oh, here, I gotcha.

No, no, I got it.

I am the runner. I'm the runner.

- Just grab the door, please?

- Okay.

Thank you so much.

Okay. Well, let's see.

- Here.

- Wow!

Okay...

that is a grand gesture.

Yeah.

What do you think?

Obligatory or genuine?

Oh, I'm going with genuine.

With a hint of guilt.

I don't know if that says more

about them, or you,

for guessing that?

Going with obligatory?

Oh, 100%! Look at that thing.

How much you want to bet?

How about a free ride?

So, you have

a very cynical view of people.

What?

No, I just choose

to accept people

for what they actually are,

rather than

what I want them to be.

In my line of work,

I meet people who are

inherently good and genuine

all the time.

In my line of work,

I find most people perform

acts of kindness

out of obligation.

Mm, all right.

It's okay to disagree.

I am right about

one thing, though.

What's that?

I really think

you'd rather talk than drive.

Okay, folks.

Here comes the rain.

You all be careful out there

celebrating your love.

Watch this.

Good luck!

You got it?

Yeah, I think so.

Is this the right way?

Careful...

Careful!

Hi!

So I have a delivery for you...

Oh, my God!

Congratulations.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Okay, thank you.

You look surprised.

I'm pretty sure

you owe me a free ride

because that was

as genuine as it comes.

Does one

to a cooking class count?

Uh, nice try. No.

All right, I will admit

it was pretty sweet

seeing someone

make such an effort

when they clearly have

so little free time

on their hands.

Yeah. I like to think,

or at least hope,

that people make time

for what matters.

Like going to a cooking class?

Yes, and finding

the owner of this ring.

Yeah.

Do we really have to, though?

Do you want me

to write you a good review?

Point taken. Let's go.

All right...

Mario's Cooking School... oh!

Nice.

It's only a few blocks away.

So, do we just walk in with it,

and say, "Hey, man,

did you lose

your engagement ring?"

Well, "A,"

I don't think we should assume

it's the guy

that bought the ring,

because anyone can propose.

Fair. And "B"?

Look, I think

an awkward conversation

is better than a proposal

with no ring.

But what if we ruin the proposal

by talking about the ring?

Nah, you're not gonna do that.

Me? I thought

you were the one going in.

You said you wanted

to do this on your own

because this was your fare.

No, I-I didn't, and I do not.

No, ma'am!

Plus, you also seem

a lot more concerned

about the ring than I am, so...

Fine. We'll do it together.

All right.

Fine.

Keep watch for a loading zone.

Uh...

oh, there's one.

All right. Good eyes.

Man, this rain

can't make up its mind.

What are you doing?

Oh, gotta be ready at all times.

Is that a New York thing?

To never miss a moment?

I was raised here.

How about you?

Uh, Denver, all my life,

until a few years ago.

Oh.

You know,

if this whole thing works out,

it would be amazing

if you were

their wedding photographer.

Oh, my gosh.

For their wedding

on Valentine's Day?

Oh, dream come true!

Oh, yeah. This...

Your eyes...

Oh, no, we're too late.

I think

they're just playing around.

Why do you say that?

'Cause now

they're just making pizzas.

Oh, right.

- Can I help you?

- Uh, yes. Hi.

- Hi.

- Hi, we were...

We were just hoping

to chat with someone.

Someone?

We're in the middle

of a cooking class.

It'll be very quick.

They need to focus

on their pizza.

The crust is...

is hand-stretched.

No distractions, please.

Yes, and we-we really

apologize for that,

but it is something

really important for tonight...

to go with your dinner.

So, if we could just grab them

for two seconds,

we will be

on our merry little way.

All pizzas in!

Eight minutes starts now.

That was incredible.

You're welcome.

Hey!

Hey. What are

you guys doing here?

Oh, we just thought

we'd double back

and make sure you're all good.

"Good"?

Didn't leave anything behind?

Like a box?

Like, a teeny, tiny box?

Did either of you leave

a gift in the car

and it's now missing?

- No, no. Yeah.

- No. I don't think so.

You sure?

Uh, yeah.

So, you're not getting engaged?

- What? No!

- Uh, no!

- Uh...

- Not that we're not great.

Yeah, I mean,

we're absolutely great.

- It's just...

- It's only been four months.

We haven't even traveled

out of the country together.

We haven't even

had our first real fight.

Not that I want to fight.

- It's just...

- It's new.

Yeah, it sounds very new.

Uh, could we offer

you guys a slice, or...?

- Oh, no. That's lovely.

- No.

- That's very sweet, but we...

- We gotta get going.

- Yeah.

- Hey.

You can't interrupt

my cooking class

and leave without trying

my famous Neapolitan pizza.

Oh! Well, I mean,

I do love pizza,

and love Naples!

Then you should make it.

Together.

Oh, the two of us?

When the initial spice

in the relationship dies down...

and it does, for all of you...

you need to spice it up

by cooking together.

Am I right?

- Yeah!

- Yeah!

We're...

We're not...

About to leave without

trying your famous pizza pie!

What are you doing?

You know, I'm just making time

for things that matter,

and clearly,

pizza matters to you,

so we're gonna

make this pizza together.

All right.

Let's get to it.

Mangiamo!

Oh, it's heart-shaped.

Can you believe

it started out as Cupid?

It might've been

a tad ambitious,

but it still gives

Valentine Day vibes, right?

Oh, for sure!

- It's so cute.

- Let's get you a slice.

Oh, we-we could get it to go,

if that's easier?

No. Enjoy it here.

Thank you.

Looks delicious!

Okay, this...

this needs to be documented.

Show us the cheese!

Oh, my gosh.

Keep going.

Mm!

In Italy, we say "famiglia".

Famiglia!

Thank you so much.

It's a bummer

you didn't like the pizza.

You know, sometimes

the simple things are best...

five fresh ingredients,

no fancy toppings allowed,

just mwah.

And the perfect recipe

for some incredible photos.

Wow! This one is a real gem.

Oh, no. What is this?

Let me see.

In your defense,

I did say "cheese".

Was it worth it?

The pizza?

No, the delay?

Oh, yeah...

for that smile?

Absolutely.

All right.

So, what's...

what's next for the ring?

Uh, I guess an early-morning

trip to Brooklyn.

No, we can do this tonight.

Who else is there?

You remember Gabby?

She sat in the front seat.

We dropped her off

at the Moonlit Lounge.

Uh...

excuse me.

Hey! Hey, wait, wait, wait.

Sir? We're here.

Well, that's good,

'cause in case

you didn't notice,

it's only

a 15-minute loading zone.

Yeah, but it's only been,

like... 18 minutes.

Well, it doesn't say,

"like 15 minutes," now, does it?

No, it doesn't.

Sir, it's Valentine's Day.

Can you please

just cut us a little break?

Sir, I should be

impounding this vehicle.

I checked your plates.

You got a lot of

overdue parking tickets.

It... no, it can't...

it can't be that many, right?

Oh, it's that many.

It's more than "many".

Sir, what did you say

your name was, again?

I didn't say.

Okay.

Thomas.

Thomas...

see, the thing is,

we found this ring,

this engagement ring,

in his car... he's a driver...

and I'm pretty sure

it's my fault

that this ring

was left in the car,

and we're just two strangers,

honestly,

trying to do the right thing

and-and get this ring

back to the owner.

Well, and...?

Did you?

- Well, not yet. There are...

- No.

Still two passengers left,

but the thing is,

we're running out of time.

Yeah, and it's getting late,

so maybe we just call it quits?

- No.

- Just like that?

Well, I mean we don't want to,

but the traffic is crazy,

and we both have to be

somewhere at 9:00, so...

Yeah, like, I would be happy

to take us to Moonlit Lounge,

if it were closer.

You say "Moonlit"?

Yeah.

That's where my wife and I

had our first date.

Really?

15 years ago now, but...

I remember it

like it was yesterday.

See? That is...

That is so sweet!

I love that story. See?

I told you

it was a good date place,

even if it's a club...

dancing is romantic.

I think you could get there.

Moonlit? Before 9:00?

No. No way.

Try to keep up.

Did we just get out of a ticket?

I think we did.

I think

he believes in true love.

Easy, Princess Bride.

You know what?

I think this last ride

is really gonna kick

that skepticism right out of ya.

Yeah, doubtful.

Well, it's better

than getting a ticket.

- Whoa, whoa. Watch out!

- I got it.

I got it.

We're good.

That was a red light.

No, no, that was a yellow.

A very late yellow.

I'm just...

I'm just not gonna look.

- Just not gonna look.

- Okay.

I don't mean to snoop, but...

is this a collection

of parking tickets, or...?

Ha. Uh, souvenirs...

from some of my favorite stops

around New York City.

Can you keep

your eyes on the road?

Yes. Sure can.

What's up

with these candy rings?

Easy to eat, hard to drop,

perfect food

for high-speed chases downtown.

You know, I thought

I had a gift for gab, but you?

You got us a police escort.

I mean, I'm pretty sure

that siren is from Amazon.

Oh, the siren

is definitely from Amazon,

but that is still

really impressive.

Well, what can I say?

You know what?

I really like talking to people

in my line of work, too.

Watch out!

I see, I see.

Thank you.

Okay.

So, let me guess.

You are a... therapist?

No!

You're a lawyer.

Food product development

scientist.

Wow!

I know, I know, it's a mouthful,

but it is kind of similar.

I mean, I have to know people.

I have to know their likes

and dislikes and habits.

Greatest fears?

No, 'cause the product

is chocolate,

so if it's on people's

list of greatest fears,

then I haven't really

done my job.

Our product right now is, um,

it's called

"What's Inside Your Purse?"

and it's a line

of chocolate purses.

Is the job

what brought you to New York?

Yeah.

Cool.

Oh, no, don't lose him.

Yeah, I got it.

I'm not gonna lose him.

What?

Nothing.

What?

I was just thinking

that, you know,

you started by saying

you didn't have any luck

on Valentine's Day,

and you got a gallery showing

and a police escort

and a free slice of pizza.

Two, actually!

See?

You're right.

This has been

an unexpectedly great day.

Finn?

- Right, the road! Yep.

- Eyes. Road.

He's so nice.

Thank you, Thomas!

Right. Uh, I can just run in.

Save you some time?

No way!

We're in this together now.

I gotta make a quick call

and I'll meet you in there?

- Okay, meet ya in there.

- All right.

Excuse me? So sorry.

Excuse me. Sorry.

I'm just gonna speak

to this gentleman.

I'll be two seconds.

Hi. Wow! Busy night.

Listen, my friend, Gabby,

is inside.

She's really pretty...

had a pink sparkly dress,

a fur coat?

Can I just run in real quick

and try to find her?

No? It's a no? Okay.

Um, right.

Sorry.

Hey! Tell me

the bubbles aren't all gone?

Mm, I can't promise anything.

It's already filling up,

and people are intrigued

about your new approach.

"People"?

Okay, one person.

I have her credit card.

She left it, and-and I just...

I need to get it to her,

you know?

Gotta have a credit card!

So I'm just gonna

go in really quick

and I'll... I'll be right out.

A couple is hovering.

I think they like your work.

Are you close?

Yup. Still, uh...

aiming for 9:00.

Well, people are asking for you.

Nine-ish...

definitely the 9:00 hour.

Sir.

My friend just walked in there

with a ring box.

I can't miss this moment,

you know what I mean?

You're letting...

oh, thank you!

Thank you so much.

Mm, well, make it happen,

Mona Lisa.

I think

it's gonna be

a hugely successful night.

Me too.

Hey, friend...

any chance I could...

get in there?

Your body language says "no,"

but in your eyes,

I see you want to say "yeah"...

a little.

Hey!

Sure did take you a long time

finding a spot out there.

Well, and I had to get past

our friend at the door.

- And how'd you do that?

- Charmed him.

Gave him a 20.

Told him I was with you.

Well, look who I found...

Oh!

What'd she say?

Is it hers?

- No clue.

- You haven't talked to her?

No, I wasn't gonna wade through

the crowd without my wingman.

- Well, I'm here now.

- Good.

Do you want to take this one?

Didn't I take the last one?

Ahh... mm...

that's debatable.

Mm?

Look, we better go,

if we don't want

to ruin her night.

All right. Lead the way.

Hannah?

Oh!

No, now is not the moment.

Come.

What if it's the moment, mm?

Two things I could

never live without...

sushi and theater.

- Oh, hey!

- Hey, there.

Hi.

Weren't... Weren't you

my LaneTrip driver?

Yeah.

Yeah, and... oh... you.

You were not feeling well.

Wow, that's really

gonna stick, isn't it?

- Mm-hmm!

- Mm-hmm.

Yeah, we were hoping

you'd still be here.

Oh, did I forget something?

I don't know.

Did you... forget something?

Um, what's going on?

Is this yours?

Oh, is... Is that a...?

So, clearly, it isn't yours?

Well, it depends what's

in the box!

It's an engagement ring.

Oh!

Oh...

Oh, yeah!

Well, then that's mine.

- Really?

- Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Future me.

I'm manifesting it...

which is why, tonight,

I am here,

single and ready to mingle.

You know what...

I do think it's really important

to know what you want.

Yeah, and also

what you don't want.

Yeah. Let me guess...

you two have this

whole relationship thing nailed?

- No!

- Oh, no!

- Yeah, no. No.

- Uh-uh.

I'm in the trial-and-error

phase.

Kind of in-between

trials, really.

Mm, yeah,

and I'm, um, still kinda

working through my error.

Got a couple years behind me.

Mm. Divorce?

Like I said, trial and error.

Hopefully, no more error.

Well, a kiss on Valentine's Day

can bring a year of good luck.

Aw, that sounds like

a fridge magnet you'd have.

Yeah. I don't have it,

but I want it.

Even if it's not a real thing?

Hey, can I buy you a drink?

Me?

Yeah. I mean,

unless you're still on-duty?

Um...

I, uh, so she's...

she's flirting with you.

Mm-hmm? Yeah? Okay.

Thank you very much,

but I, um...

You cannot say no to a woman

on Valentine's Day.

Sorry, but I am still on duty,

and in a rush.

Uh, but thank you very much.

Well, good luck.

I hope you two find

the owner of the ring.

Thanks. Have fun.

Thanks. You too!

Uh... really?

What? I was serious.

I mean, no one should

give up on love,

or searching for what they want.

Mm-hmm. Says the girl

on a break from it all.

I... let's... let's go.

Okay.

Not this song!

What? Too cutesy?

It's too everything!

Have you ever

danced to this song?

No! Not interested.

What? No, no, no.

Hey, Hannah. Hannah!

Remember we're in

a rush, Hannah?

We'll be fast.

No, this is happening?

Thank you.

See, that wasn't so bad, was it?

No, not until it's an earworm,

and all you hear,

all day and night is,

"Tin... roof...

rusted!"

Okay, there are

more lyrics than that.

- Thanks.

- Mm-hmm.

Hey, thanks for even going

in there in the first place,

for staying for all that.

It was, surprisingly,

my pleasure.

I am bummed it wasn't her.

I know. Me too.

I did really appreciate

her optimism, though.

Yeah, for all things past,

present, and future?

No, for Valentine's Day.

Speaking of...

that only leaves one couple.

My first fare...

B.H.

"B.H."?

"Before Hannah." Yeah.

If you've got the time?

You know what?

I could call my friend

and see if we could...

you know, push the presentation.

You?

Oh, this is much more exciting

than trying to hustle my work

onto art snobs.

Really? Is that true?

Yeah, very much so.

All right.

You know what?

Let's do it.

Let's get this thing home.

All right.

One final pick-up.

And delivery, also?

Yes, that might be

a little squeezy.

Wait. What?

Okay, you want

to do this pick-up?

You're going in with me

for this one?

Oh... yeah.

Uh, four hands

are required for this one.

Come on. I got

the centerpiece all by myself.

Just you wait.

They specifically requested

a larger car.

You have gotta be kidding me!

I mean... oh!

This is... who needs all this?

Careful.

You're starting

to sound like me.

Oh, this is just... I mean,

this isn't gonna fit in the car!

Well, to be fair, I wasn't

supposed to have a passenger,

but I am very grateful

for the extra set of hands.

All right.

Let's do this.

Easy-peasy!

These balloons

have a mind of their own!

Let's see. Let's see.

Okay, I'm getting...

we're making some progress.

Okay.

Yeah.

- That'll do.

- I'll just hold that.

- There we go.

- Okay?

All right! We did it.

Way to go, partner.

Good job, partner.

We make a good team.

We do.

How do you feel about coming

with me on all my balloon runs?

Sure.

'Cause this would've been...

aw, I spoke way too soon!

Can you fix this nightmare?

- I'm just gonna... just gonna...

- Okay.

- Just drive. Just drive.

- Okay.

Get... back!

Am I clear?

Uh, let's see.

After this next car, yes.

Oh, no, no, wait! The taxi.

Which one?

Hold on. Wait for it.

Let me see.

Uh... okay, good.

You're good. Go.

- Go, go, go.

- Finally.

Oh, sh**t.

I think

we need to be in that lane.

It's okay.

We'll get back over.

I highly doubt it.

Come on, man.

Excuse me? Hi!

Can you just...?

Let us over!

Thank you!

- Thank you.

- See?

There are good people

in this world.

Most people know how hard it is

to drive with balloons.

You're telling me.

Okay, so...

what happens now?

Oh, we document the delivery.

Say "cheese!"

Wait, what?

Hannah,

look what you're holding.

You gotta have

photographic evidence,

or this never happened.

Fine.

Chee-ee-eese!

Cheese!

Okay. That's good. Great.

All right. You ready

to meet our final couple?

Yes, but I am gonna make

one request that we get, like,

an actual legal parking space

this time, please?

Tell you what.

I'll do ya one better.

I will get you

the perfect parking space

if you let me get a coffee

on the way there.

Okay, deal.

We just have to make it quick.

Bye, balloons. Bye-bye.

Whoa, whoa. There's no rush!

We can enjoy it.

Sorry. Bad habit.

I'm used

to drinking really fast.

I'm always on the go.

So, do you always work

on Valentine's Day?

Is that par for the course

at Alouette?

Surprisingly, no.

It just so happened, this year,

that the campaign we're doing

lined up

with the holiday perfectly.

Well, that's

some serious dedication.

How do you mean?

Well, it's pretty obvious

how much you love love.

I do love love.

I say that all the time.

It's like a catch phrase.

I'm... I'm a hopeless romantic.

I mean, the whole dating thing...

I'm not so sure about.

Why's that?

So, after

my last relationship ended,

I really put myself out there.

I really did, but I-I just...

I felt like

it was so complicated.

I didn't know

which way to swipe.

Mm, yeah. Fair enough.

Doesn't sound like

you're running out

to find someone to date, either.

Touch!

But I also have work...

and no one asks me out.

Mm, so you like to be pursued?

Mm-hmm.

That is very

21st-century of you.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

What about you?

Would you ask someone out?

Yeah, I'm okay

with going after what I want.

Or if I find a man interesting,

I'd ask him out.

Nice!

I respect that.

But there

is something really nice

about being asked out.

I mean, call me old-fashioned,

but I like a little chivalry.

I don't think

that makes you old-fashioned.

I mean, it's nice to be chosen.

Feels special.

It does.

It doesn't happen often,

but it does.

Being chosen or feeling special?

I just...

Well, for what it's worth?

I think you're pretty special.

Thank you.

That's very sweet.

I hope it was okay to say that.

- Oof, I'm sorry!

- No...

There's this weird thing

about when you spend

a lot of time

in the car with someone,

it kind of, like,

speeds the connection along.

Um, like, I-I know more

about some of the people

I drive regularly

than I do

members of my own family.

I-I get it.

There is something

about being in a car that just...

it just feels...

I don't know, it's disarming.

It's, like, all of a sudden,

you can just be your true self.

Yes! Well said.

And these little guys?

My favorite.

Speaking about being

your true self,

I do have a confession...

I...

do not like chocolate.

Wait! What?

You make chocolate for a living!

Also, everyone loves chocolate.

Okay, first of all,

I don't "make" chocolate, okay?

I design flavor profiles

and products, and...

I'm not everyone.

I'm me.

You're a tough nut

to crack, Hannah...

but I'm up for the challenge.

I think our coffee break's

probably over, right?

Yes, ma'am.

One final couple.

This brings us to the end

of Still Life...

but we're still loose, relaxed,

and in the flow.

Let's move to a blank page...

a new space to fill

with your creativity!

Well!

Eight minutes late, but...

- What...? Oh!

- You made it.

Oh, no, no, no.

I'm sorry, I think...

No, no. What, what?

I think you've mistaken me f...

Well, you can be

anything you want to be,

especially for

these first few poses.

I'm sorry, I've... I've actually

never done this before.

For the first one,

any pose will do.

We'll start with

a quick three-minute

gesture drawing.

I don't know!

It's three minutes.

Maybe you're an athlete?

Hmm! Okay.

Or maybe... maybe a ballerina?

No, no.

Maybe the athlete was better.

Just a little more angled.

Good enough!

The timer begins now!

Oh, so I-I...

I'm holding this pose?

Brace your core.

What's a core?

Mm...

now, this isn't

about perfection.

Mm?

It's about getting loose.

Learning to make mistakes.

Get messy!

I think I've got that down.

Mm.

Just keep your hands flowing.

Yes. Time's running out.

Sorry I'm late.

Uh...

Oh? Um, but you're just...

Oh! Oh, well...

Well, have away.

Yes, thank you.

Sorry about that.

Okay, yes.

Never mind.

- Thank you.

- All right!

Okay.

New subject...

Really?

You are a natural.

Thank you.

That is very flattering.

Yeah, well...

Is that them?

Sorry to interrupt...

- Oh, hi.

- Hi.

Is this... yours?

No.

Do we know you?

Uh, LaneTrip.

Black SUV?

- Our driver!

- Our driver!

Yeah, uh, well, this...

um, this got left in my car.

Should've said yes.

I've still got the first one!

I don't need another.

47 years

and I can still make her laugh.

Aw... the best.

We're just trying to find

the rightful owner tonight.

Oh, 'cause it's Valentine's Day.

Well, 'cause it's important.

Yeah, just trying not

to ruin their night.

Well, the good news is,

for big things...

occasions,

when it's meant to be...

the little things can't ruin it.

This isn't little.

This is a grand gesture.

One of the biggest kind.

Well, in the grand scheme

of things,

it's little.

"Little" compared to being

able to do the things

that really make a connection.

Uh, doing something

just for fun...

again, together.

I love that.

Me too.

All right. Well, um, yeah,

we'll let you get back to it.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Good luck.

I feel like we should

just give them the ring.

I mean, they were so sweet.

Excuse me?

Would you mind

if I took your photo?

You'd like to take our picture?

I'd be honored.

Ah, beautiful.

You know, I get it...

but I promise you...

the ring isn't the thing.

The commitment is.

Yeah, but if they don't

have this, you know,

when they pop the question...?

It'll be okay.

And an even better story,

when they get to our age.

Yeah!

Thanks again.

Well, that was fun.

You'll find

the rightful owner soon.

Just not today.

Can't say we didn't try, can we?

I'm glad we did.

Me too.

After you... athlete.

I don't think

that'll ever get old.

What? Watching me

be a figure model?

That!

And just seeing people go out

and do what they love.

Yeah, together.

It's nice.

Yeah. Together.

Separate.

I just like seeing

people engaged.

Ah, no pun intended?

Thank you.

I mean, doing what they love,

like you, with your...

food...

product development...

- You can just say chocolate.

- Okay.

And you, with your photography?

Yeah, although mine is still

a bit of a work in progress.

I'm currently

trying out something new.

You mentioned portraits?

Yeah, which are a huge

departure from landscapes.

So, you wanted

to deal with relationships?

No. No. Definitely not.

I mean, romantic photography

is not where I'm going.

I just wanted to explore

the way that people

experience themselves

with other people.

So, relationships?

No...

Okay, maybe a...

maybe a little bit.

You know, but for all

of the love stories

out there that we see,

there are also

a lot of lonely people.

You know what?

I think some people

actually enjoy being alone,

and then some people

are just patiently waiting

to find their person.

Well said.

All right.

Yeah.

It's the end of the journey.

Can't say

we didn't give it our best.

Let's get you

to your party, Cinderella.

Wow.

I can't believe it,

but I may get you to your party

relatively on time.

Acceptably on time...

in that 30-minute window.

Hmm.

One sec. Annalisa, hey.

Did you get my text?

I postponed the presentation

like you asked,

but the editors are starting

to look impatient.

Okay, I should be there

soon... ish.

Okay...

but we have a problem.

- What is it?

- They delivered

peanut butter cookies.

Not chocolate!

Peanut butter.

Wait, who did? Your sister?

Yes! Vera.

Now, apparently, their line

is a mile long,

which is great for them, but...

yeah, and then...

they were gonna have

my nephew re-deliver,

but he fell off his skateboard,

so now his father had

to take him to the hospital,

and the caterer's already left.

I mean, she says

she could come back,

but I don't know

how long that's gonna take, so...

You know what?

I'm already in a car,

and it's on the way...

it'll just be a short detour.

Really?

Yeah, I-I can pick them up.

Are you sure?

- What?

- I know we have

a mountain of chocolate here,

but it's just we always have

their cookies at this event.

It's not gonna be the same,

you know, without them.

Don't stress. I'm on it.

You're the best!

So...

Vera's, huh?

You do not have to take me.

I can jump in a car.

I can even walk.

It's super-close.

I-I'd be happy to, and besides,

I owe you a free ride.

You know what? You do.

- Mm-hmm.

- It'll be super-quick.

Mm, I've heard that before.

Wow.

Business is good.

The order should be ready

for us for pick-up.

Order 52?

52, your order's ready. 52?

Order's getting cold. 52.

Hey, Vera.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Is it?

It's so nice to see you.

Um...

I don't know

how they got peanut butter,

but I'm so lucky

that you can come and fix this.

Oh, "fixing it"... I think

that's a little bit generous.

We're just here to pick up.

Okay, well, it won't be long.

I just have

these two batches before you.

Uh, order 53 and 54.

Enjoy.

Smells so delicious, doesn't it?

Smells so good.

Oh, no.

What is it? What's wrong?

The hospital

needs his insurance card.

Little Mikey said he had it.

How can we help?

What can we do?

We... Want to go get it?

I'm not sure where it is.

Um...

I mean, we-we could... we could

step in for a few minutes

and you could run, grab it,

and drop it off?

- Would you really?

- Yes, of course!

Anything for Little Mikey.

Okay! Uh, all you have to do

is take these cookies out

in five,

and pop this tray in for 50.

Ah, that's doable, right?

And...

you could just take orders.

- Okay...

- I mean, that's-that's doable.

- We could do that.

- Uh, yeah.

- Yeah. We...

- We'll serve some cookies?

We-We got this.

We can do... Yeah, we can...

- Yeah!

- Yeah, we can do this.

- We'll... We'll figure it out.

- We can do this.

Divide and conquer?

Hop on in here.

I trust you.

Executive decision...

we're doing this.

- Yup. Yup. We got this.

- Let's do it.

- We got this.

- Okay.

Okay. What do we do first?

All these are ready to go.

Right, and, uh...

you can wear these.

Oh...

Great! You guys will be great.

Just work together.

I will be back

in 20 minutes, tops.

Okay. Don't worry, okay?

We got this.

Thank you so much.

- Of course. No stress.

- All right. See you later.

Um, okay, what if I...

I handle the cookies,

and you do the cash?

Sure. Good. No! Not good.

Uh, math is not my strong suit.

I'll do cookies.

- Switch. Fine. Okay.

- You do cash, yeah.

All right, you know what?

Let's just start

passing out these orders.

Number 55?

Do we have a 55?

There you are.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Oh, my word!

Let me see?

Oh, that smells so good.

Save me one of those.

And now we have 56.

Order 56.

There you are.

Happy Valentine's Day.

There you are. Enjoy!

Behind.

Whoa, sorry. Sorry.

Oh, my gosh.

I am so in the weeds!

We'll be right with you.

Hey, your phone's ringing.

I can't answer my phone.

You think

I can answer my phone right now?

Look at this line!

Sorry, Chef.

Wait!

Stop eating the merchandise!

Who else is gonna see

if they're cooked

all the way through, Hannah?

Quality assurance, Hannah!

This batch checks out.

- Yeah, okay, great.

- Oh, you want a bite?

No, I'm good.

- Mm? Mm?

- It looks scalding-hot.

It is scalding-hot.

Worth the burn.

Careful putting that down.

I'm gonna put these in, here.

I was just about to do that.

Well, yeah, but you're taking

your dear, sweet time.

Well, no need to point a finger.

- Oh.

- Whoa.

Oh...

Wow, that didn't, uh... yeah.

- Mm-hmm.

- That just happened. Okay.

Yup, not ideal.

- Five-second rule!

- Yeah.

- Right? Yeah?

- Easy. For sure.

- 10-second rule. Pick it up.

- Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Um...

Whoo.

Sorry we took a little longer

than we thought.

- Hey!

- Hi!

You're back.

- Hi!

- Hey!

Well, good news...

Little Mikey is fine.

- Mm-hmm.

- Oh, good.

Great. Wow.

That's, uh...

That's "Little" Mikey?

- Mm-hmm.

- Yeah.

I know, you wouldn't

think it, huh?

Fell off his skateboard,

landed on his afro,

but he's all right.

- Oh!

- Oh, so glad.

- Glad to hear it.

- That's fantastic.

Uh, how you all think

you're doing back there?

You guys, uh, doing all right?

- Oh...

- Oh, yeah.

- So good.

- You were just...

- Yeah.

- So good.

You'd think we'd been doing it

our whole lives.

Yeah.

I just listen to my wife.

That's all I do, you know?

- Yeah, that's the key.

- Yeah.

All right, well,

something's burning, so...

Well, we're gonna go,

so good luck!

You hop in, and we'll hop...

You want us to switch out?

You want us to switch out?

Yeah, that'd be great.

We'd love that.

- Have a good night!

- Thank you.

- Thanks, guys.

- Bye.

Whew!

I don't know

how couples work together.

That was not easy.

I know. I don't think

it's meant to be easy,

but they do it, and we did it.

Yeah, they, uh,

they've pulled it off,

and they do it full-time.

Yeah, they're amazing.

That's admirable.

It really, really is.

You okay?

Yeah. I was just noticing

it's a beautiful night.

Mm. Yeah, you're just now

noticing that?

Sometimes, I get so busy

being busy

that I just forget to look up.

I know what you mean.

You know what was fun, though?

Just dancing tonight

for a minute.

I normally don't like dancing,

the dance floor, the club...

none of it...

but I had a great time.

Same. Me too.

But you know what?

You have some moves.

You're not gonna believe this...

not professionally trained.

- Stop it. No way.

- True story. Yeah.

- Took a couple classes as a kid.

- Not buying it.

The rest is just a gift.

Did you just say

you took classes?

A few, yeah. Yeah.

- Really?

- I took some classes.

Yeah, you want to see

some moves?

I mean, how could I say no?

- Okay.

- Of course.

We're forgetting something.

Whatever it is...

it can wait.

I have a party to get to, and...

and you have a gallery showing.

Yeah.

One last ride.

One last epic ride...

and hopefully,

a five-star rating.

We'll see.

- Your cookies.

- Thanks.

Yeah.

Okay, so that last song,

on a scale of zero

to Love Shack?

I would give it

a... solid six?

That's decent.

Yeah, decent,

but we can do better.

Okay, if we're gonna do better,

we're gonna have

to use our phones,

and not the radio.

Let's do it.

Use your phone.

Ohh... so how long

have you been dancing?

I took a couple years

of dance classes as a kid,

but that's it.

Well, what kind of dance class?

- Slow.

- Oh.

- Slow-dancing classes.

- Slow? Slow dance?

Slow-dance class?

Yeah, if that is

such a thing, yes.

I don't know!

I think it's a really

attractive quality.

What's that?

I just mean

for a man to know how to dance...

it's nice.

Oh.

Well, thanks.

How about that song?

Yeah, I'm working on it.

Huh.

What?

Uh, "Check Engine" light

came on.

- Oh.

- You know what?

I'm gonna make a, uh,

a real quick stop, okay?

Yeah, no, of course.

Safety first.

Yeah, safety first.

You know what?

Check the battery terminals.

The connections might be

messed up or something.

Totally...

'cause I know

what all those words meant.

It's right there.

Ah, okay. This one?

No, no, no, not that one.

That one.

- This one? Okay.

- Yeah.

Let's see here.

Too soon for dad jokes?

Oh, yeah, this could

use a little love.

How did you know to check that?

Oh, I grew up

with three older brothers

who loved their cars.

Your talents

never cease to amaze me.

You know, speaking of talents,

I've been wanting to ask you

how you got into photography.

Tell you what...

I will tell you that story,

if you tell me

the truth about

why you don't like chocolate.

Fine. Deal.

Okay.

So my grandfather

was a nature photographer,

and sometimes he'd take me out

on his wilderness shoots

when I was a kid,

and I've just always been

fascinated with images.

You know, the way

they can evoke emotion,

and get people

to change their perception

of the people around them,

and...

then, a few years ago,

a buddy of mine showed some

of my photos to a gallery owner,

and voila...

a starving artist was born.

That's incredible.

Thanks for sharing.

All right.

Lay it on me.

It's-It's...

I don't like to talk about it,

because it's just not

an interesting story.

What's the big deal?

Were you bullied by

a chocolate bar as a kid?

No! It's not

that I don't like chocolate.

It's that I... I'm just...

I'm kind of allergic to it.

You're allergic?

Yeah. Mildly allergic to cocoa.

Huh! Your whole life?

As a kid, it was fine.

No, I loved it, and then...

I don't know, as I got older,

I would eat it,

and all of a sudden,

I'd feel kinda funny

and get, like,

this tingly mouth and stuff.

Wow! That's a bummer.

Also, must be

pretty challenging,

considering

what you do for a living.

It's not like

it's some life-threatening

allergy, you know?

I can have it here and there,

and when I'm testing

flavor profiles at work,

I just put it

in a chocolate smoothie.

You are so brave.

You're incredible.

Stop it! I told you

it wasn't that interesting.

Listen, Beethoven was deaf.

Doesn't mean

you can't create an incredible

chocolate symphony.

Thank you. Thank you for

these words of encouragement.

Of course!

Okay, I don't know

if this will work,

but, um, let's give it a shot.

Okay.

Okay. Watch your fingers.

Yup.

Look at this rockstar parking!

Does this mean you're coming in?

Yeah, I want to make sure

you get there okay.

Chivalry's not dead.

Have you tried

the chocolate martini?

The Alouette sprinkles

are heavenly.

Hannah!

You made it. You doll.

You're a total lifesaver.

And this must be the cute guy

Vera was telling me about.

That's me!

Hannah's...

Friend.

How did you...?

Vera called me.

Glad to have you, "friend".

Can I interest you in a purse?

Did you design those?

I did.

The orange blossom

chocolate inside

is even more impressive.

Well, I can't wait

to see it or taste it.

Chocolate martini?

Ah, unfortunately, no.

I can't stay, but thank you.

No! Thank you two...

for these.

Got it?

Yes.

Ooh! It's not a party

without cookies.

Yeah, careful.

"Friends"?

Well, I mean, at this point...?

I hope so.

I mean, according to some,

we're practically engaged, so...

Ah, all of the cars

I could've gotten into...

Wait.

Oh, my gosh!

That's it.

This morning!

I-I delivered

this crazy balloon bouquet.

It was, uh...

it was like a giant teddy bear,

holding a heart.

Wait, what? When?

This morning.

No, but I... no, no.

When this morning?

7:00? 9:00? 11:00?

No, it would've been

before 9:00,

to an apartment building off

of, um, 42nd and...

I live off of 42nd Street!

I... I saw you.

You delivered that

to my neighbor. I saw you!

What? That was your building?

Yes! You bumped into me!

But wait, what were

you gonna say about the guy?

Well, it...

it was right after that.

Gavin.

Hi. Who... Who are you?

Aren't you my LaneTrip?

Juan.

Going to Bartholomew's,

top of 1070 Pine Street.

Right now?

I know it's early,

but there's a dinner,

so I need to get there early

to reserve

the perfect table

for the fireworks.

Yeah, well, I mean,

9:00 A.M. is plenty early.

Unfortunately, I'm not Gavin.

Oh, um...

you're not GXB5332?

Nope.

Ah, then I better find Gavin.

Yeah, good luck!

How are you

just remembering this?

It's been a crazy day!

So, wait, he said

he was going to Bartholomew's?

- That's what he said.

- For dinner?

- Uh-huh.

- And...

- Oh, fireworks!

- Yes!

He is our guy.

We gotta go!

Well, I mean, I gotta go.

You should totally stay

and enjoy your party.

That is never gonna happen.

Phew! Yeah, I was just

giving you some options.

Listen,

after everything tonight,

seeing this through,

i-it just...

kind of is our theme.

Yeah.

So, just...

give me one second.

Yeah.

Hey. Hey, sorry to interrupt.

I just... I-I know

only just got here,

but I-I...

I will be back super-soon.

But I want to introduce you

to the editor from

Cooks Illustrated.

Where are you going?

Uh, Bartholomew's.

Without me?

No, not to eat! Listen.

It's too much to explain,

but I-I promise,

I want to meet them,

- and I will be back.

- Just get back here.

The editors want to see

something before midnight.

Okay, no, I promise. I will.

By the way, this...

this looks stunning.

Stunning!

All right? Let's ride.

Let's.

Hmm! Can't believe we're about

to meet the owners of this ring.

It has been one heck of a night.

I knew we'd do it.

I knew

we'd figure out who left it.

How could you be so sure?

Because, things like this,

when it's meant to be,

it just has a way

of working itself out.

Oh, well...

I don't know about that,

but you know,

if you are happy, I am happy.

What do you not know about?

Fate.

You can only say

it was meant to be

when you look back on it.

There are too many possibilities

for what could happen

at any given moment.

And yet...

we are about

to return this ring...

and these people

are gonna get engaged.

You really think

they'll get engaged?

Of course I do.

Okay, so fireworks

are in 10 minutes.

What if we're wrong

about the whole thing?

The ring, the couple,

Valentine's Day?

Finn, this ring

belongs to somebody upstairs.

Yeah, but what if

he forgot it on purpose?

And why would he do that?

I don't know.

Maybe he got cold feet?

We don't know

anything about this couple.

Yeah, but maybe it isn't that.

Maybe they have waited

an entire year for this night.

Imagine it's you...

you're proposing,

you're pouring your heart out,

you reach into your pocket,

and there's nothing there.

We have to try to at least

give them this moment.

Yeah.

Yeah, no. You're right!

Okay, I'm back in.

- Let's do this.

- Good.

Good, good, good.

Okay, so clearly,

the elevator's broken

and, uh, I don't know,

maybe this isn't meant to be,

maybe they're not gonna get

their "happily ever after"...

I don't know!

Well, we'll never know

if we don't get up there.

You're right. Stairs!

Taking the stairs.

Okay.

Isn't it on the roof?

You cold?

Surprisingly, no.

Mm. Uh, need more bubbles

or charcuterie?

Still full.

Good.

You okay?

You're being

very... attentive.

Not that you're not always.

Just...

I'll, uh...

get more... Champagne.

Okay.

Ooh. I need more cardio

in my life.

Embrace the burn!

- Whew.

- We're almost there.

You, uh... whoo!

You go ahead without me.

What? No, we're so close!

You really think

we're gonna make it?

I don't know,

but if today has

taught me anything,

it's worth a shot.

All right. Whoo.

Are you okay?

The fireworks

are about to start.

Just want to make sure

everything's perfect.

All we have to do is watch.

I worked so hard

to make sure tonight was...

perfect.

It is!

As perfect as anything

will ever be.

Check over there.

Do you... Do you see him?

Yeah... yes!

Yes, that's him.

- That's him? Yes!

- Yeah.

You are the most real

and genuine person

I've ever met.

Okay, what do we do?

I don't know.

What do we do?

- Uh, let's just do it.

- Ahem.

- Just, like, run in or...

- No, no, no, no, no, no.

Which is why...

I'll try to be...

What's he doing?

Oh, no. Oh, no, uh...

Shh, shh...

to...

to be, um...

t-to be, um...

Ahem!

Uh...

to be... right back.

I'm... I'm just gonna

go to the restroom.

Just...

Do I know you?

Hmm?

Why are you waving at me?

'Cause we are pretty sure

you lost something.

Do you have my ring?

You have my ring, don't you?

Yes!

I knew it. I knew it. I knew it.

Oh, no, no,

I gave it back to you.

- What?

- Yeah.

Oh, yes, of course you did,

you did, you totally did,

and I am so happy that

I finally get to give it to you!

Assuming that impeccable taste

and a size-6 band

is your choice?

Oh!

I can't believe... How?

Oh, I totally guessed

about the band size.

Wow!

No, no.

H-How did you get it?

Oh, you got in the wrong car

this morning.

It was you.

It was me!

Yes, and obviously,

you got in the right car.

Look, those fireworks

are coming in two minutes.

You still have time!

- Yeah.

- Thank you.

Yeah, break a leg!

I don't have as much time

as I thought I would,

but my hope is

that we'll have a lifetime

to say all the things

we want to...

if you'll have me?

Emily...

will you marry me?

Isn't that the best?

Yeah.

So?

Is that a yes?

Yes!

Oh...

Oh!

Okay, it's about time

you got in some of these.

A photo?

Yeah, I'm good.

Oh, come on!

I'm not taking "no"

for an answer.

What if...

What if I get in it with you?

How about that?

I'll allow it.

We'll call it

our "mission: complete".

Give you something

to remember me by.

I like that.

Come.

Oh.

You're a natural!

I love it.

And we got our happy ending.

We did, didn't we?

That was fun.

Which part?

All of it.

Okay, maybe not all of it,

but a-a good, healthy portion.

I am partial

to the police escort.

- Mm.

- How about you?

I'm gonna have to go with, uh,

seeing you on the dance floor.

No...

Those moves...

I mean...

Sadly, an image

which shall never be forgotten.

They're some moves!

Thanks for seeing this through.

My pleasure.

Thank you for reminding me

why we should.

Oh.

I gotta... I gotta-

Yeah. Sure.

In fact... Yeah.

Where are you?

I'm-I'm just downstairs.

Okay, 'cause

Cook's Illustrated people

are asking me

all sorts of questions

about a tempering technique

and...

They're asking

only the questions

that truly interested

buyers ask,

which is great.

Then why do you sound panicked?

They are very personal,

and I am not the artist.

Right. Yeah. I'm...

I'll be right there.

All right, just...

get in here!

Yeah, I'm coming.

I'm coming. Two seconds.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, I'll be there in five.

Okay, hurry up, please?

Yup.

I...

- Same.

- I have to go!

- I'm so sorry. I...

- Yeah.

Thank you.

Yeah, thank you.

This was, um...

This was a lot of fun.

This was...

This was so...

crazy, and fun,

so thanks.

Yeah. Enjoy your party.

Hannah!

Yeah?

Are you on Instagram?

I am!

Yeah, look me up and-and send me

a message or something.

Yeah, yeah!

I w... Okay. I will.

Okay. Have a good show.

Yeah, thanks!

And we really

couldn't have done it

without the inspirational women

and culinary experts

from around the world.

Our goal is to change the way

women think about chocolate.

I mean, it shouldn't be

a guilty pleasure.

It should be something

you treat yourself to...

or something that

special someone in your life

can get just for you.

So, it is my pleasure to present

our newest line of chocolate...

"What's Inside Your Purse?"

You absolutely k*lled up there.

They loved it.

You were great!

Thank you. I couldn't

have done it without your help.

Listen, there is an editor

that I have been dying

to introduce you to

all night long.

She's just over there.

Okay, yeah.

Okay, of course. Let's go.

Okay, okay. Come on.

All right, people,

it is almost

a wrap on Valentine's Day,

so let's get in one last song

for all you lovebirds out there.

It's about time!

Get in here.

Yeah.

Ohh.

I'm coming. I'm coming.

These are very important buyers.

They've purchased

your work before.

So, they like the new direction?

Well, I don't know about that,

but I told them

that you'd be here,

and they were thrilled.

I mean...

a mention in Worldly Gourmet

and She Magazine...

you've got

to feel good about that.

Mm-hmm!

It's your purse...

it's just so versatile

and easy to market,

and they loved

your talking points,

so thank you.

I'm gonna have to call you

the Queen of Valentine's Day.

Queen of gifts.

You're pretty good

at Valentine's Day, too.

You saved my cookies!

Aw, I'm sorry I was so late.

It just was... such a night.

Yeah, you still owe me

all the details.

I cannot believe

I started off this day

saying I wanted

some quiet night in.

And instead, you got...?

I... got this...

this unexpected adventure,

and it was kinda romantic.

You had a night

of adventure and romance?

Okay. I'm gonna get a refill,

and then I need

so many more details.

This is very exciting.

Very exciting.

It's a commentary

on our fast-paced society...

about how no one takes

enough time to...

really stop

and listen to one another.

I always thought it should be

called "Unspoken Love".

You know, to see and be seen...

and maybe we need

to listen more.

Connect more.

Okay, maybe that, too.

Okay, so, you guys

had this amazing night,

and then he just drops you off?

Well, we were both running late.

I mean, he had

this-this thing...

this very, very important

gallery opening to get to,

that I'd already

made him super-late for...

But you didn't get his number?

I know, but were

on this mission

to return this ring,

and it was something

I pressured him

into doing in the first place.

Uh, no. He's a grown man.

He didn't have to agree

with you,

or keep searching with you...

for hours.

We did feel really connected.

Yeah?

And then it was just...

so awkward!

It's always awkward

when you like someone.

- What?

- That's how you know

that it's worth

taking a risk for,

no matter what kind of

a relationship break you're on.

You know what?

Okay, maybe you're right.

Maybe, but I-I just think

that if it is meant to be,

it's gonna...

it's gonna be.

Right. In your lifetime,

how many times have

great things just happened

by doing nothing?

Never.

So why would this?

I just don't want to force it.

Going after what you want

is not "forcing,"

and throwing your hands up

and giving up, well...

That is so, so not me.

I...

I'm gonna go!

Where are you going?

Uh, the gallery.

- Do you know which one?

- I think so?

Okay, well,

you're gonna need a ride.

Oh, right.

And its, uh, license plate is...

you know what,

I'm just gonna text it to you.

You're the best. Got it.

Just text me.

I really appreciate

your interest...

but I gotta go.

You just got here.

I know. Text me

if you have any questions

and, um, you're right...

should have called it

"Unspoken Love".

Oh, no!

Oh, come on!

Come on.

Please, please, please.

Come on.

Hannah.

What are you doing here?

I was coming...

Wait, why...

why are you down here

and not up there?

I-I was trying to find a ride

so that I could come

and find you,

but why did you come back?

I wanted to see it through.

I thought we did, didn't we?

Oh...

maybe I just want to kick off

February 15th with you.

But what about your show?

I left early.

Yeah, there'll be others, but...

there's only one you.

I came back...

no, actually, I ran back...

a lot of uphill...

to ask you...

if you...

would go out on a date with me?

You got me a ring.

Mm, it's nothing fancy,

but the color's right.

May I?

Yes.

Ohh...

I mean,

this is perfect.

I love it.

And yes, I would love

to go out on a date with you.

You know, I heard

that a kiss on Valentine's Day

brings a year of good luck.

And you buy into that?

No.

I think it'll bring a lot more.
