And it's Valentine's Day, or did you forget? oops! come on.
Put your shoes on and let's go! l need coffee.
l need to drink some coffee.
l'm not even awake yet.
No, no, no, no, no.

The morning air will wake you right up.

You're merciless.
You know that? Yeah.
No, no.
Don't answer that.
Don't answer that.
l gotta l got it.
Hello.
Hey.
lt's me.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Hi, Val.
Listen.
l need to see you.
l'll be at the club later.
No.
l need to see you now.
lt can't wait.
can you meet me there in half an hour? l'm busy.
With Kelly? Yes.
Please, Tom.
l'm not trying to get in your way.
l just l wouldn't ask you for this if it weren't important.
What is it? What's wrong? My mother's on her way here.
Her plane lands in two hours.
And you're just telling me now? Well, you've been busy with Kelly.
l didn't get a chance to.
All right.
Look.
Don't worry.
l'll be right over, okay? Thanks.
Don't like the sound of that.
She needs me.
No.
Valerie does not need people.
She uses people.
She doesn't need them.
Look, this is serious, Kel, okay? l have to go.
Well, at least tell me what's going on.
No.
Look, l'm sorry.
l can't.
You're just going to have to trust me, okay? lt's not you l don't trust.
Hey, guys.
l was wondering if you can do me a favor.
Really? And what would that favor be? l was wondering if one of you could, uh, go pick up my mother from the airport.
And why can't you go pick your mother up from the airport? Because l don't think l can take one hour alone with my mother in the car.
Boy, you guys really don't get along, do you? That's putting it mildly.
l like your mother.
Well, good, then you can pick her up.
Thank you, appreciate it.
Poor Val.
Things just haven't been the same in her family since her dad died.
oh, l know, she told me about the suicide.
Really? l didn't know you guys were so close.
Well, l think, you know, Val's reaching out.
She doesn't have a lot of girlfriends.
She's a little thin in the boyfriend department as well.
Speaking of which, do you know what today is? lt's Valentine's Day.
oh, that's right, -it's Valentine's Day, right.
-Yeah, so what are you going to get me? l'm already taking you to see Luther Vandross at the After Dark.
lsn't that enough? No, it's Valentine's Day.
Nothing is enough.
All right, you have my undying love and devotion.
What else could you possibly want? Mmm, flowers and candy are good.
Nope, no, it is our first Valentine's Day together.
And if l'm gonna get you something, it should be something special.
Forget everything l said.
All l want is you.
Attagirl.
Just come with me, okay? lt'll be fun.
l don't feel like it.
Are you going to classes today? l have one class, -and l'm skipping it.
-You can't stay -in bed forever.
-Who's talking about forever, clare? This is one little day.
No, we're talking about three little days.
Fine.
Excuse me, l'm going back to bed, okay? No, you can't go to bed.
You have to console me.
l'm more depressed than you are.
Why? Why? Because it's Valentine's Day and l wanted to do something romantic with Steve.
And instead he's off playing golf -with his new best friend Dick.
-So, you'll see him later.
Just come with me, okay? We'll get our hair done for tonight, -okay? -Look, leave me alone, please.
No, l'm not going to leave you alone.
At first l thought you'd snap out of it, but obviously not.
You haven't left the house for days.
Yeah, l-l've been through a lot.
l nearly got killed.
-lt's gonna take time, okay? -lt's gonna take forever if you don't get help.
Look, you like David's therapist, right? Why don't you just go and just talk to him, you know? Maybe he can help you.
Anything, please.
Fine.
Whatever you say.
Tomorrow.
Happy Valentine's Day! oh, no, no! l'm a mess.
Tell him l'm gone or l'm sleeping.
Please, clare.
come on in, David.
We're in Donna's room.
clare, God.
What? Hey.
Well, let's see, we have roses, a teddy bear, chocolates and a cherry Danish.
Which one do you want first? Thanks.
You are so sweet.
Yeah, well, if you knew how much work l had to do at the club today, you'd think l was even sweeter.
come here.
-Mmm.
-Mwah.
David, please, get her out of bed.
Actually, l was thinking of climbing in here with her.
Mmm.
oh.
Sweetie, do me a favor, will you put the flowers in some water.
And l will be right out.
l promise.
l've never seen her like this before.
Yeah, l know.
She's always the one cheering me up.
Well, maybe she just needs time, you know? l don't know.
l don't know what to do anymore.
She did almost get killed.
She's gonna be at the club tonight, right? l don't know.
Hey, Sanders, before we play golf, l've got a little present for you.
-oh.
-check it out.
oh, you know what? l never really got into pot.
But go right ahead.
l've always been more of a beer guy.
oh, come on, Sanders.
Believe me.
Golf is an impossible combination of concentration and relaxation.
-Mmm.
-Pot is the ultimate bridge, Sanders.
come on.
All right, -l'll try anything once.
-There you go.
And if you like, l'll give you some for later.
You know, a little Valentine's Day gift for you and clare.
-oh, yeah? -oh, yeah, there's only one thing that goes better with pot than golf, and that's sex, my friend.
Really? Well, in that case, roll me a big fat joint.
l've been looking for something different for Valentine's Day.
Believe me, this is it, man.
l got here as soon as l could.
Why did she have to come? l know.
Tonight, you know, of all nights.
l was really happy.
l was really excited and she's just gonna ruin it.
No, she's not.
l won't let her.
Why doesn't she just leave me alone? l came all this way to get away from her.
lt's been three years.
Maybe, uh, maybe things are different.
No.
She blames me for his death.
Every time she looks at me, it's like she's accusing me of ruining her life.
Hey, you didn't.
Hey, it's not your fault.
l don't know if l believe that anymore.
l can't thank you enough for picking me up at the airport, Brandon.
lt's no problem.
l must admit, l was disappointed that Val didn't come.
Well, tonight's a big night for her.
She's, uh, she's pretty swamped.
Face it, Brandon.
My daughter doesn't like me.
That's not true.
Everything started to fall apart for us after Victor passed away.
l think she blames me for her father's death.
Why is that? l wish l knew.
And then l'm gonna close with ''Lullaby For You.
'' Excuse me.
We're looking for David Silver.
oh, my God, it's Luther Vandross! l'm David.
Well, it's good to meet you finally.
Uh, Mr.
Vandross, thank you for coming.
oh, it's my pleasure.
l can't believe it! l'm sorry.
This is this is chloe.
She'll be opening up for you.
Nice to meet you.
You, too.
l hear you're a wonderful singer.
David says you know his dad.
oh, l worship his dad.
Luther had such a bad toothache on his last tour it almost shut down the show.
Dr.
Silver cured him, never even sent a bill.
l'll do anything for Mel.
lncluding playing his son's club on Valentine's Day.
Talk about devotion.
oh, yeah.
David, this is a great room.
Ah, thanks.
Uh, yeah, l'll show you around.
oh, cool.
So, you're sure you don't want to go? Yes! Will you please just leave me alone? l'm very busy.
l have lots of soaps to catch up on today, okay? Who is it? lt's cliff Yeager.
Donna's friend.
The fireman? My God, what's he doing here? What am l gonna do? oh, God! Just a sec! No! l can't let him see me like this.
clare What do what do you want me to do? You want me to tell him to go? No! l just need to fix my hair, brush my teeth.
-Go, go! Stall him! -ls Donna home? -Do you want me to come back later? -Uh, no.
Hey, cliff, l'm right here.
Just, um, just hang on a second.
Stall him, stall him, please! okay, fine.
You know, you look awfully cheerful all of a sudden.
-Go, go, go! Go.
-ow! Hi.
come on in.
She'll be, um, out in a second.
Sorry to just show up like this, but l just wanted to surprise her.
oh, believe me, you did.
-cliff! -Donna.
Hi! Good to see you.
come in.
You look great.
oh, thanks.
oh, these are for you.
Thank you.
What are you doing in town? Honestly, um, l missed you.
And when l thought about Valentine's Day, l realized that l wouldn't want to be with anyone other than you.
oh.
But l'm sorry, l should have called first.
No, no.
This this is great.
Um happy Valentine's Day.
Happy Valentine's Day.
So how long are you in town for this time? That depends.
on what? on you.
oh, you know, cliff, l What? l should've, l should have written to you sooner.
-l should have told you, but -What? l have a boyfriend.
l figured you would.
You're not engaged or anything, are you? No, no.
Well, good.
Then l'm still in the game.
come on.
lt's time to go put your party dress on.
No, cliff, l can't go out with you tonight.
of course you can't.
l don't get it.
lt's Valentine's Day.
You have a boyfriend, so go out and have a good time.
Tomorrow and the day after l'm gonna call and we're gonna have a chance together.
come on.
oh, my goodness, l never imagined it would be so big or so beautiful.
Mother? Hello, baby.
Hi.
Uh, this is Tom, remember him? Yes, of course.
How are you? Fine, ma'am.
When Brandon told me you were working here, l must admit l was rather surprised.
l'll bet.
Although you have had quite a few jobs these past couple of years.
l'm just a regular vagabond, l guess.
l didn't expect to see you till tonight, Mother.
l know, honey, but l just couldn't wait.
So l convinced Brandon to drive me over.
Look, Tom, why don't you show my mother the club? catch up on some old times.
l need to speak to Brandon for a moment.
Sure.
Ms.
Malone, can l give you the grand tour? Lead the way.
What the hell did you bring her for? She just wanted to see her little girl.
oh, please.
She's got an ulterior motive.
l just haven't figured out what it is yet.
Like mother like daughter.
What? You know, Val, you're always talking about how manipulative your mother is, how selfish, how tough.
That's how most people see you.
ls that how you see me, Brandon? Sometimes, yes.
Well, there's a reason for it.
What's that? Ask my mother.
l don't like losing.
Especially to Valerie.
Hmm, it's not like Tom's such a prize.
l don't know about that.
He may be kind of rough around the edges, but he's a good guy.
Better than Valerie deserves.
Well, he may be a lot better than you deserve.
Now, just because l am not going to marry the guy does not mean l'm using him.
All right? l like him.
What, that's not allowed anymore? You don't need my permission.
No.
Hey, guys.
-David.
-Hey.
What are you doing here? What, do l need a reason to be here? No, it's just, you know, twice in one day oh, l'm just a little worried about Donna.
l mean, she didn't seem like she was doing too good this morning.
oh, well, she's feeling a lot better now, so -Yeah.
-oh, that's great.
Maybe she'll be able to make it to the club tonight.
-Hey, Don! -David, um, wait.
-What? -Don't go in there.
-She's not home.
-No.
oh, she's not? That's great.
l thought she'd never get out of bed.
Where did she go? oh, she, um, she just wanted to get fresh air, so she went for a walk.
Good.
Good for her.
Yeah, well, um, -we'll tell her that you came by.
-Promise.
okay.
-Bye.
-Bye.
See ya.
David, hey.
Hey.
cliff Yeager.
Yeah, you're the fireman.
cliff, this this is David Silver.
You're the boyfriend.
Yeah.
Glad to see you're feeling better.
l can explain this.
Don't bother.
lt's pretty obvious.
l've been trying to cheer you up for days, and, uh, in walks ResCue 91 1, and you're doing cartwheels.
Happy Valentine's Day.
David, wait.
David cliff, l'm sorry.
No, l am.
Donna didn't know l was coming.
And l didn't know she had a boyfriend, either.
So l'll get out of here and let you two talk.
David, it's all true.
oh, okay.
See you, Donna.
Bye.
David, honestly, l haven't seen or talked to cliff since November.
He showed up to surprise me.
And you sure do like surprises.
David, please, don't push this.
Let's just forget this.
Do you want to come in for a while? No, l can't.
l've got to get back to the club.
Um l was just, uh, l was just coming by to make sure you were feeling okay.
l'm fine.
Better than fine, obviously.
l'll see you tonight? l hope so.
-oh, hi.
-Hi.
Want some coffee? l just made a fresh pot.
Uh, no, thanks.
l just came home to change for the show.
l don't have much time.
l understand.
l-l met your friend, Steve.
He seems like a nice guy.
Yeah, he is.
Val, about before Why do we always get off to a bad start like that? l don't know, Mother.
Well, l want to start over.
So l'll go first.
l'm sorry.
All right, l'm sorry, too.
l was rude.
Good.
So everything's forgiven, forgotten? Listen, honey.
l-l have some papers here.
l need you to sign them.
lt's no big deal, but What kind of papers? For the house.
This is for a second mortgage.
l know.
And because you own half the house, you have to sign before l get the money.
l don't believe this.
l was right.
-About what? -Why you came here.
You know, l started to feel guilty.
But you didn't come here to see me.
You came here for the money.
You can go back to where you came from, 'cause l'm not signing a damn thing! Valerie, you don't understand.
Yes, l do understand.
lf you need the money, then sell the damn house! How can you say that? lt was your family home.
That's a joke.
Your father left you half the house in the will.
He wanted you to have it.
l can't sell off your legacy.
What legacy? You must be very sick, or very cold, or very blind.
Do you even remember what happened in that house? of course l do.
My husband died in that house.
l wish that godforsaken house had burned to the ground.
You can't mean that.
l hated him, and l hated that house.
And for every day that you stood by his side l hated you, too.
Here we go.
To good friends and good weed.
oh, l'm sorry, Ellen, honey uh, beads.
Nice necklace.
oh, man.
Hey, honey.
l got a surprise for you.
How long have you known me? Have l ever shown any interest in any smokable substance? Dick, l believe this is yours.
You told me you stopped, that you were clean as a whistle.
Liar.
Thanks, clare.
Very discreet.
So, um, how much have you smoked? Do you have any short-term memory left, or have you completely forgotten that, uh, l don't like potheads? God, clare, it's not like l'm an addict.
Good.
Then, don't smoke anymore.
You want to be my Valentine? Thanks a lot.
Does that mean you forgive me for deserting you this morning? That depends on what your plans are for tonight.
My plans are to get out of here as soon as possible and take you home for a very private Valentine's celebration.
Sounds perfect.
Right up over here.
Huh? oh, great.
oh, and just to let you know, this seat is reserved for me, not the fireman.
David.
Sorry.
l'm just kidding.
lt was a bad joke.
Good.
Because one thing's for sure.
l feel better tonight than l have in a really long time.
lt's Valentine's Day, and l want to have a good time with you.
Thanks.
l'll be right back.
okay.
l'm so sorry to be a third wheel at your Valentine's party.
oh, don't worry about it.
We're happy to give you a ride.
Maybe l should have stayed home.
l don't want to create a scene.
And you never know how Val's gonna react.
Well, if it makes you feel any better, my mom and l fight all the time.
Thanks, honey, but this is more than a fight.
You guys will get over it.
l hope so.
-Hey, guys.
-oh, Steve, hi.
-Hi.
You leaving already? Actually, l left something in my car, that's all.
l'll catch up with you later.
-okay, buddy.
-okay.
Hey, Steve, save a dance for me.
Absolutely, Abby.
Well, it's good to know somebody else has a ball and chain for a girlfriend.
Man, l can't believe clare is so uptight.
Yeah, well, live and learn, right? Mmm.
l do believe that this is yours.
No, she'll kill me.
oh, come on, lighten up, Steve.
l mean, why do you think they invented breath mints, huh? come on, she's never gonna know.
What the hell.
There you go.
Will be Me Mmm Mmm-mmm.
Hey.
Hi.
Ladies and gentlemen, please give it up one more time for the Peach Pit After Dark's latest discovery, chloe Davis.
And-And don't go anywhere, all right? Grab a drink because Luther's up next.
Wow, she's actually good, huh? Yeah.
David obviously thinks so.
He spends every waking moment working with her.
come on.
You can't be jealous.
Look at her.
-She's a baby.
-Yeah.
A baby with a terrific voice, beautiful face, great body.
Worried? No, l'm not worried.
Um, hello, cliff.
Hi, we have an extra seat at our table-- maybe you should come on down.
You know how Donna loves to be rescued.
Hang up that phone.
This is really a wonderful club, honey.
l'm so proud of you.
Translation ''You must make a lot of money, Valerie, and l want some of it,'' right? Why are you so filled with anger? What did l ever do to you? This is not the time or place, Mother.
Fine.
Tell you what.
l have to get up real early to catch a plane to San Francisco, but when l get back from the convention next week, let's make the time.
We need to work this out.
No, actually, we don't.
No matter what you think, l really do care for you.
You know, you talk a good game, Mother, but l learned the rules at your knee, remember? You can't sweet-talk me.
l'm not gonna change my mind.
Sell the house.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, on this Valentine's Day, the Peach Pit After Dark is proud to present the man you've all been waiting for, Mr.
Luther Vandross.
l look in your eyes And there l see What happiness really means The love that we share Makes life so sweet Together we'll always be l'll be back.
This pledge of love feels so right And, ooh, l need you Yeah Here and now l promise to love faithfully Faithfully You're all l need Here and now l vow to be one with thee You and me Yeah Your love is all -l need -l need Say yeah When l look in your eyes There l'll see All that a love should really be And l need you more And more each day Nothing can take your love away More than l dare to dream l need you Here and now l promise You all right? You'd really like to see me fall apart right now, wouldn't you? Well, it would be nice to know that you are human.
Here and now l hope you and Tom will be really happy.
But there's something you need to know.
l can discover all of his charming little quirks on my own, thanks.
lt's not about him.
lt's about me.
Look, Kel.
You've got the one guy who ever really loved me or understood me, and if you want him, l mean if you really want him Here and now there's nothing l can do about it.
But if you don't l mean, if you're just doing this to beat me at my own game let him go.
Kel, l really need him right now.
Please.
You're telling the truth, aren't you? Yeah.
l am.
come on, clare.
Why are you freezing me out? Be quiet, all right? What, are you too stoned to keep your mouth shut? Ah! come on.
l'm fine.
Fine.
You're fine.
Your eyes are completely bloodshot.
You reek of pot.
When this concert's over, l'm going home alone.
oh, you were wonderful.
oh.
Thank you so very much.
oh, my pleasure.
And who's this lovely lady? Ah, this is my girlfriend, Donna Martin.
l think she's your biggest fan.
lt's true.
''Here and Now'' is one of my favorite songs.
ooh, thanks, thanks.
You know, l still can't believe you did this.
lt was great.
Thanks a lot.
oh, no problem, but, David, one favor.
-What? -Tell your dad we're even.
-l will.
-All right.
l'll take you back to your dressing room now.
okay.
Thanks.
All right.
Bye-bye.
-Thanks a lot.
-Bye.
Hey, l'll buy you a bottle of champagne.
oh, you know what? David, actually l'm really tired.
Would you mind if l went home early? No.
No, that's fine.
l'll, uh l'll give you a ride.
Well, you have a lot to finish up here.
l thought l'd just get a ride from clare.
-okay.
-okay.
Happy Valentine's Day.
You, too.
Donna? Hmm? Look, um, l'm really glad you're feeling better.
But there's still something l'm a little unsure of.
What's that? Why you didn't get out of bed this morning when l came by.
What are you talking about? Well, l-l brought you breakfast, and-and Valentine's presents, and nothing worked.
Yeah, l-l've been a little depressed lately.
You know that.
Are you sure you weren't just trying to get rid of me before cliff came by? Please.
That is crazy.
No.
What's crazy is the fact that l l bent over backwards trying to make you feel better, and the whole time, you were interested in some other guy.
l wasn't.
l swear it, David.
l told you.
l haven't talked to cliff in four months.
David, Luther wants to know if we all want to go out for a late bite.
Yeah, sure.
l do.
Uh, Donna's a little tired.
She's going home.
Yeah, you got that right.
ls she okay? l don't know.
Are you? Yeah.
Yeah, let's go grab that dinner.
Are you sure? Absolutely.
-Hey.
-Hey.
You about done for the night? l'm just ready to get started.
How about you? l don't know, Tom.
W-Wait a second.
l'm hearing something l don't like here.
Yeah.
l think l'm just going to go home.
Wait, wait.
Wait a second.
l thought we had plans.
l, uh, changed my mind? What happened? Was-Was it something l said? l mean, we haven't spoken all night.
No, no, it's not you.
l mean, you're a great guy.
l'm just not in love with you, you know.
Who said anything about love? Actually, Valerie did.
She's crazy about you.
And to be honest with you, l did go after you to make her jealous.
And it worked.
So what you're saying is you had no feelings for me at all, whatsoever? No, no, l did.
l do.
lt's just, l started this for all the wrong reasons, you know? And, um, it's time l did something right.
Yeah, well, you may feel all good and honest but l still feel pretty dumped.
l'm sorry.
Yeah, well, l'll get over it.
Happy Valentine's Day.
You, too.
Valentine's Day is a bogus holiday.
The whole thing's like a capitalist plot perpetuated by the floral industry.
oh, well, l think it's nice.
Besides, how would you feel if Steve hadn't given you flowers? -He didn't.
-You're kidding.
No.
He said l'd think it was a cliche.
But you do think it's a cliche, right? Yeah, but l still wish he'd given me some.
Well, men are pigs.
Amen.
Hey, girls, what can l get you? Uh, three peach pies a la mode, please.
-Ah.
-Make mine a double.
oh, my God.
He's here.
Who? cliff.
cliffs here.
oh Don't forget-- men are pigs.
Hmm.
Not this one.
cliff.
Hey, well, talk about surprises.
l never thought l'd see you here.
You sure you weren't looking for me? No.
Actually, l just came in for the pie.
oh.
But this is definitely a bonus.
You look beautiful, Donna.
Thanks.
What is she doing? Flirting.
She's upset 'cause David went out with chloe.
l think she likes him.
Well, l'm rooting for David.
So, how was the show? -lt was great.
-And David? How was he? Fine.
Then, uh, how come you're here with your friends? lt's, uh Well, it's his club, so he has to stay there till closing time.
Well, then l hope he's busy tomorrow night.
Why? Well, l was kind of hoping you'd go out with me.
What do you say? l'd like that.
Good.
That's what l came to hear.
Well, then l will see you tomorrow night.
okay.
Wow.
What was that about? Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
My, my ice cream's melting.
Yeah, it did get a little hot in here -all of a sudden.
-Hmm.
Hmm.
l thought you were going home with Kelly.
Nope.
She, uh she dumped me.
Really? Well, people surprise you sometimes, huh? Yeah.
And on Valentine's Day.
That's cold.
Well, l'm officially now on the rebound.
Well, you've come to the right place.
You know, l never did get a chance to dance tonight.
What do you say? l say, it's been a long time.
Too long.
l'd forgotten how much l love dancing with you.
Not me.
You know, the past three years everyone else it's all been about trying to forget you.
Did it work? No.
Listen l know you had a hard day.
Yeah.
We both have.
Why don't we make it a better night? Happy Valentine's Day.
You, too.
Why are you whispering? 'cause l don't want Val's mom to hear us.
oh.
