[radio DJ] 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.
[***]
* Yeah, you make a wish You get it *
* Closest thing to heaven's right here *
* In your hands Like it's magic *
* Oh... *
* Imagine That happiness... *
[text alert chimes]
* ...Can happen *
* All this time *
* Just look around us *
* Yeah, everything is right *
* We don't need four-leaf clovers *
* Luckily to be... *
Careful, you don't wanna pop it!
- Sorry! Pardon. - It's okay. It's all right.
[***]
[delivery man] Knock-knock. Happy Valentine's Day!
[woman] 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.
[all applauding]
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.
[laughs]
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!
[sighs]
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.
[Levi] 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.
- [phone chimes] - 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--
- [phone chimes] - ...so just be here!
Yeah... about that--
Don't tell me you have Valentine's Day plans?
[snickers] 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.
[phone chimes]
Great.
[Finn] 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.
[Finn] 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. - [click]
You're good. My bad.
- Great. - That one's on me.
No problem. Thank you.
[grunts]
Okay.
All right. Buckle up!
All right...
off we go!
[***]
[exhaling tensely]
Sorry, hi--
do you two--
do you mind if we switch seats?
[loudly] 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.
[thud]
Oh, uh, Finn?
Yeah?
Don't work too hard, all right?
Or too late.
It can get real interesting after midnight.
Gotcha.
[chuckles] Uh, I hope you feel better.
Oh, thank you so much.
See ya.
All right.
[***]
[Gabby] 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.
[***]
[opening alert beeps]
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!
[click]
[gasps] 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?
[enunciating] Internal... report.
It's all good. It's just prompts.
Oh, love prompts.
Uh-huh. Yeah.
- [phone chimes] - Okay.
Yeah. Got it.
[whoosh]
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!
[squeals] Ah! Yes!
A thousand times, yes!
No, no.
We-- We're-- [stammering] 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.
- [woman] 100%. - Thank you.
Thank you! Post that!
[woman] "Click!"
[laughs]
[***]
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?
[laughs]
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--
[card reader buzzes]
...our duty to humanity and common goodness,
or whatever, you know?
Whoever bought this ring, they need it for tonight.
Uh-huh.
[buzzes]
Um, I... [grunts awkwardly]
- [accepted payment chimes] - 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?
[sighs]
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.
[Levi, over speaker] 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 justdoing 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.
- [Hannah] This it? - [Finn] Yup.
All right. What's the order name?
I'll run in.
Uh... "Lovewell."
[laughs] It's paid for. You can just grab it.
Okay.
Be right back.
Watch your step.
[thud]
[florist] 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.
[thud]
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.
[grunts]
- 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.
[laughs]
[chuckling]
[***]
[radio DJ] Okay, folks.
Here comes the rain.
You all be careful out there celebrating your love.
[***]
[belt unclicks]
Watch this.
Good luck!
[thud]
[Finn] You got it?
[grunting] Yeah, I think so. Is this the right way?
Careful...
Careful!
[chiming]
[Hannah] Hi!
- [gasps] - So I have a delivery for you--
Oh, my God!
[women laughing]
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.
[Finn] 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?
[chuckles] 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!
[chuckles]
Oh, yeah. This...
Your eyes--
[gasps, whispers] Oh, no, we're too late.
[hushed] 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.
[Finn chuckles]
All pizzas in!
Eight minutes starts now.
[hushed] 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!
[laughing]
- 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!
[laughs] 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.
[Nate] Can you believe it started out as Cupid?
[laughing]
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?
[Finn] No. Enjoy it here.
[Hannah] Thank you.
Looks delicious!
Okay, this-- this needs to be documented.
[shutter snapping]
Show us the cheese!
Oh, my gosh. Keep going.
Mm! [laughing]
[***]
In Italy, we say "famiglia".
Famiglia!
- [laughter] - [shutter snapping]
[Hannah] 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.
[Finn] In your defense, I did say "cheese".
Was it worth it?
The pizza?
No, the delay?
Oh, yeah-- for that smile?
Absolutely.
[laughs] 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--
[chuckles awkwardly] ...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.
[perky] 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.
[siren wailing]
[***]
[siren wailing]
- 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.
[laughs]
Can you keep your eyes on the road?
Yes. Sure can.
[siren wailing]
What's up with these candy rings?
Easy to eat, hard to drop,
perfect food for high-speed chases downtown.
- [chuckling] - You know, I thought
I had a gift for gab, but you?
You got us a police escort.
[laughs]
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.
[tensely] 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.
[Hannah] He's so nice.
Thank you, Thomas!
[car horn honks twice]
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.
[music thumping indistinctly in club]
Excuse me? So sorry.
Excuse me. Sorry.
I'm just gonna speak to this gentleman.
I'll be two seconds.
Hi. Wow! Busy night. [chuckles awkwardly]
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.
[Hannah] 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.
[Hannah] Sir.
My friend just walked in there with a ring box.
I can't miss this moment, you know what I mean?
[club music thumping]
[gasps] 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.
[club music thumping]
Hey, friend...
any chance I could... [pop]
...get in there?
Your body language says "no,"
but in your eyes, I see you want to say "yeah"--
a little.
[dance music playing]
[***]
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.
[laughs]
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?
[snapping]
Oh! No, now is not the moment.
Come.
What if it's themoment, 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! [chuckles]
[whispers] 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. [chuckles]
[The B-52s' "Love Shack" plays]
[Finn] 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?
* ...Jukebox money! *
* The love shack *
* Is a little old place Where *
* We can *
* Get together *
* Love shack Baby *
* Love shack, baby *
* Love shack *
* Baby Love shack *
* Love shack *
* Baby, love shack *
- * Love shack * - * Love, baby *
- * Baby, love shack * - * That's where it's at *
- * Love shack, baby * - * Love *
* Baby, that's where it's at *
* Bang, bang! *
* On the door, baby! *
* Bang, bang! *
* On the door! *
* Love shack Baby, love shack *
* Love shack Baby, love shack... *
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.
[laughs]
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!
[chuckling]
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.
- [giggling] - Get... back!
[laughing]
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, shoot.
I think we need to be in that lane.
It's okay. We'll get back over.
I highly doubt it. Come on, man.
[sweetly] Excuse me? Hi! Can you just--?
[shrieks] Let us over!
[passing car honks]
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.
[chuckling to himself]
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!
[snapping]
[chuckles]
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.
Touché! 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?
[gulps] I just--
[stammers]
[chuckles]
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.
[instructor giggles]
[Finn clears his throat]
[mouthing words]
[whispers] I don't know! It's three minutes.
Maybe you're an athlete?
Hmm! Okay.
- [mouthing words] - Or maybe-- maybe a ballerina?
No, no. Maybe the athlete was better.
Just a little more angled.
Good enough! [chuckles mirthfully]
The timer begins now!
Oh, so I-I--
[concerned] ...I'm holding this pose?
[whispering] Brace your core.
What's a core?
[***]
Mm...
now, this isn't about perfection.
[Finn] Mm?
It's about getting loose.
Learning to make mistakes.
Get messy!
I think I've got that down.
[instructor] Mm. Just keep your hands flowing.
Yes. Time's running out.
- [footsteps] - Sorry I'm late.
Uh...
Oh? Um, but you're just--
[model scoffs]
[clears throat pointedly]
Oh! Oh, well...
Well, have away.
Yes, thank you. Sorry about that.
Okay, yes. Never mind.
- Thank you. - All right!
Okay.
[instructor] New subject--
Really?
[Finn] You are a natural.
Thank you. That is very flattering.
Yeah, well...
Is that them?
[indistinct exchange]
[chatter continues indistinctly]
Sorry to interrupt--
- Oh, hi. - Hi.
Is this... yours?
No.
Do we know you?
[Finn] 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.
[laughs]
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.
[hushed] 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.
[snapping]
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! - [both laughing]
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?
[laughing]
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--
[both laughing]
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.
[sighs] 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.
[chuckles]
[***]
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.
- [phone ringing] - 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.
[snaps] 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?
- [whispering] 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.
[laughs]
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?
- [phone chimes] - 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.
- [inhaling sharply] 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.
[sniffing]
And now we have 56. Order 56.
There you are. Happy Valentine's Day.
There you are. Enjoy!
- Behind. - [phone ringing]
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!
[hushed] 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!
[both laughing]
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.
[dash alert chimes]
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.
- [cries out] - [laughs]
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.
[thump]
[***]
[laughs]
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.
[chuckles]
[gasps] 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--
[quickly] ...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!
[Finn] What? That was your building?
[Hannah] Yes! You bumped into me!
But wait, what were you gonna say about the guy?
[Finn] Well, it-- it was right after that.
[door shuts]
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!
[door shuts]
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!
[***]
[texts dinging]
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.
[alarmed] 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...
[***]
[gulps] I'll, uh...
- [tapping glass] - ...get more-- Champagne.
[chuckles]
[indistinct chatter]
[***]
[quiet gasp]
[sighs]
[both wheezing]
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.
[indistinct chatter]
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--
[Finn] What's he doing?
Oh, no. Oh, no, uh...
- [coughing loudly] - Shh, shh--
...to--
...to be, um...
[coughing conspicuously]
...t-to be, um--
- Ahem! - [Hannah coughs]
Uh...
[Finn mouths words]
...to be... right back.
I'm-- I'm just gonna go to the restroom.
Just...
[casual background chatter]
Do I know you?
Hmm?
Why are you waving at me?
'Cause we are pretty sure you lost something.
[gasps]
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?
[Juan] 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.
[Finn] Yeah, break a leg!
[background chatter, indistinct]
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?
[gasps]
Emily...
...will you marry me?
[gasps]
[fireworks popping]
Isn't that the best?
Yeah.
[laughing as fireworks explode]
So?
Is that a yes?
[laughing] Yes!
[***]
[gasps] Oh...
[***]
Oh!
[snapping]
[popping and snapping]
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. - [both laughing]
You're a natural!
I love it.
And we got our happy ending.
We did, didn't we?
[crowd applauding and cheering]
[***]
[laughs]
That was fun.
[exhales deeply]
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 Illustratedpeople
are asking me all sorts of questions
about a tempering technique and--
[Levi] 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-- [laughs] 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.
[guests chuckling]
So, it is my pleasure to present our newest line of chocolate--
"What's Inside Your Purse?"
[crowd applauding]
You absolutely killed 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.
[radio DJ] 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.
[***]
[clicks radio off]
[***]
[shuts engine off]
[***]
[knocking]
It's about time! Get in here.
[sighs] 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.
[instrumental dance music plays]
[***]
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.
[laughs]
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?
- [laughs] - 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.
[***]
[Annalisa] 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!
[sighs]
[***]
[alarm activation chirps]
[***]
Come on.
Please, please, please.
[***]
Come on.
[***]
Hannah.
[gasps softly]
What are you doing here?
I was coming--
[wheezes]
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...
[wrapper crinkling]
[starts laughing]
...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.
[laughs]
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.
[***]
