the gift in the gift bag, so...
511
00:19:14,111 --> 00:19:16,781
No, the gift is the bag.
512
00:19:16,781 --> 00:19:18,449
Ohh! Oh, my God.
513
00:19:18,449 --> 00:19:21,327
It's so shiny, I thought
it was a shopping bag.
514
00:19:21,327 --> 00:19:23,120
But this is --
this is to put stuff in.
515
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:24,413
Yeah.
Classic bag technology.
516
00:19:24,413 --> 00:19:26,248
Oh. Awesome. Wow!
517
00:19:26,248 --> 00:19:28,000
Well, careful, careful!
518
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,460
Put the caps
on those pens, girl.
519
00:19:29,460 --> 00:19:30,795
That bag is expensive.
Oh.
520
00:19:30,795 --> 00:19:33,130
I love it.
521
00:19:33,130 --> 00:19:35,007
I hope you like it.
It's limited edition,
522
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,926
so I had to go everywhere
to find it.
523
00:19:41,263 --> 00:19:43,015
Legos?
524
00:19:43,015 --> 00:19:45,351
Botanical Legos.
They're pretty.
525
00:19:45,351 --> 00:19:47,937
You know, since you're allergic
to real flowers.
526
00:19:47,937 --> 00:19:50,940
And this is for me,
not my kids?
527
00:19:50,940 --> 00:19:52,316
That was
the intention, yes.
528
00:19:54,860 --> 00:19:58,030
I say we get the kids involved,
we put that together...
529
00:19:58,030 --> 00:19:59,865
That bag look good
on you, girl.
530
00:19:59,865 --> 00:20:02,201
Aww. Thank you.
It's a Teflon.
531
00:20:02,201 --> 00:20:03,411
Maurice and Amber:
Telfar.
532
00:20:03,411 --> 00:20:04,662
Oh.
533
00:20:04,662 --> 00:20:06,455
Uh, your gift
is so cool.
534
00:20:06,455 --> 00:20:08,040
You're gonna have
so much fun with that.
535
00:20:09,834 --> 00:20:12,878
Well, Happy Valentine's Day,
Janine -- and Mo.
536
00:20:12,878 --> 00:20:16,257
Yeah. Happy Valentine's Day
to you two, too -- also.
537
00:20:22,138 --> 00:20:23,889
I purchased two tickets
to Atlantic City
538
00:20:23,889 --> 00:20:25,808
on Spirit Airlines,
539
00:20:25,808 --> 00:20:29,895
so Gerald and I are good to go
at Cibo's Bistro at the airport.
540
00:20:29,895 --> 00:20:31,063
Sweet.
Mm.
541
00:20:31,063 --> 00:20:32,022
You're welcome to join us.
542
00:20:32,022 --> 00:20:33,232
Nope. Mnh-mnh.
543
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:34,817
Oh, we don't mind.
544
00:20:34,817 --> 00:20:37,528
Heck, the tickets
cost less than the meal.
545
00:20:37,528 --> 00:20:39,280
[ Chuckles ] No, no, no.
You two deserve a nice night
546
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,031
to yourselves.
Don't worry about me.
547
00:20:41,031 --> 00:20:42,324
[ Cellphone buzzes ]
Okay.
548
00:20:42,324 --> 00:20:45,411
Hey. Look who finally
decided to text.
549
00:20:45,411 --> 00:20:47,329
Are you kidding me?
It's about work of all things.
550
00:20:47,329 --> 00:20:49,415
Gary wants me to take a picture
of the vending machine
551
00:20:49,415 --> 00:20:50,750
to see if we're running low
on Doritos.
552
00:20:50,750 --> 00:20:52,251
Yeah...
553
00:20:52,251 --> 00:20:54,170
I'm just making sure
that -- [ Gasps ]
554
00:20:54,170 --> 00:20:57,882
Aww! Gary!
555
00:20:57,882 --> 00:21:01,218
Welcome to
the coo-de-grass.
556
00:21:01,218 --> 00:21:04,305
Ohh! Well, it's "I..."
I something you.
557
00:21:04,305 --> 00:21:07,183
"I -- I owe you"?
558
00:21:08,184 --> 00:21:09,435
"I love you."
559
00:21:09,435 --> 00:21:11,103
I love you, too, Barb,
but -- Oh.
560
00:21:11,103 --> 00:21:13,647
Ohh! Is -- Is this --
You love me?
561
00:21:13,647 --> 00:21:16,192
Yeah! I love
the crap out of you.
562
00:21:16,192 --> 00:21:18,319
I love you, too,
you big gavone!
563
00:21:18,319 --> 00:21:20,279
Don't ever scare me
like that again!
564
00:21:20,279 --> 00:21:21,614
I won't. I won't.
565
00:21:25,743 --> 00:21:28,078
