Nora: Sorry, I was trying to get the poached eggs just right.
Luc: Salad fris?
Nora: Yes.
Sarah: Well, excuse me, I thought he came back for me.
Kevin: No, he came back for all of us, right, Luc?
Scotty: Yeah, our dance steps have gotten rusty.
Luc: That's right. How was the wedding? I have so much to catch up on.
Justin: Wedding didn't happen.
Sarah: Twice.
Nora: First time because of a hurricane.
Kevin: Then Kitty fainted on the beach.
Justin: Basically, don't ask, we'll be here all night.
Nora: But everybody's fine now.
Luc: Well, good, because I can't even tell you how happy I am to see everyone.
All: Aww.
Justin: Hey, what are you doing Saturday? We never got you on the surfboard.
Luc: That's right. You were going to teach me how to shoot some pipe and get totally hell-munched.
Kevin: Hell-munched?
Nora: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Kevin and Scotty and I are taking Luc to the Huntington Gardens on Saturday. But you're invited, Sarah.
Sarah: Oh, gee, thanks, Mom.
Saul: You, you, you and I have plans, Luc.
Luc: That's right, the movie.
Saul: Yes, I got tickets to the Jean Renoir retrospective.
Luc: I think I overbooked myself.
Kevin: It's not like we know how long we have you for.
Luc: Yeah.
Nora: Is there still a problem with your visa?
Luc: Yes. My tourist visa is running out. Kevin made some phone calls for me but...
Kevin: But he's been in and out of the country so many times now, they won't renew it.
Justin: Why don't you get hitched?
Luc: "Hitched"?
Sarah: What?
Justin: It'd make him a citizen. It's like a no-brainer, right?
Sarah: Justin, it's also a very big step.
Saul: But you know you love him.
Justin: Come on, get married.
Sarah: Come on. Stop it. No, we're not getting married. I know you would like us to marry so that you could spend endless time together.
Nora: Everybody stop. They're not ready to talk about marriage yet.
Justin: It's to keep him in the country, that's all.
Sarah: You know what, Justin? Why don't you marry him?
Justin: I'm engaged or I would.
Scotty: Oh, Saul, you could marry him.
Saul: Yeah, I could marry him.
Kevin: Thanks to our state government, we no longer have that right.
Justin: There's a thousand women in this city that would marry Luc in a heartbeat.
Nora: God knows I'm available.
Justin: Like my mom. Seriously, you could get married for a green card. People do it all the time.
Luc: Actually, my art dealer has been offering to marry me for years now.
Sarah: Who? Ginny?
Luc: Yeah, yeah. As a business arrangement.
Sarah: You never told me that.
Nora: No, Luc. You're not really gonna do that.
Justin: Mom, it would just be a piece of paper, that's all.
Nora: Sarah, put a stop to this right now.
Sarah: If it's between that and him being shipped back to Bordeaux...
Nora: What, are you considering this?
Kevin: Well, he doesn't have that much time.
Scotty: Wait a second, how long do you have?
Sarah: Ah.. I don't know. He won't talk about it. How long is it, Luc? Six months or?
Luc: Um... Actually four weeks.
Sarah: No, you mean "months." A week has seven days.
Luc: Yeah. I'm sorry, I didn't wanna worry you. I was hoping to fix this on my own.
Sarah: Oh, my God.
Nora: Don't worry, honey. Don't worry. We're not gonna let Luc go without a big fight.
Sarah: Four weeks?
Luc: I'm sorry, Sarah.

Scotty: Oh, hey. You're home early.
Kevin: Yeah. Could you sit down for a second?
Scotty: Okay. What's with the box?
Kevin: I quit today.
Scotty: Kevin.
Kevin: I know. I'm sorry. I should have discussed it with you first.
Scotty: You realize we're in the greatest economic downturn since the Depression.
Kevin: I know. I know. I had to do it. I just had to do it. I don't know what's happening to me, but I couldn't be this person anymore.
Scotty: Okay, well, I mea... If... I guess we knew this was coming, right?
Kevin: Yeah, just not today.
Scotty: Well, we'll figure it out.
Kevin: Thank you. Look at me. I'm 38 years old. I thought I would've had things figured out by now.
Scotty: Kevin, you're talking to somebody who used to sleep in his car. Feeling lost and aimless?
Kevin: Yeah.
Scotty: Join the club. It's like standard operating procedure for the rest of us.
Kevin: You're not mad?
Scotty: Of course not. I'm proud of you. You did a brave thing.
Kevin: I don't feel brave. I practically ran out of there. I didn't even say goodbye.
Scotty: Well, that's just wrong.
Kevin: I know, but I'll call Robert tomorrow. Oh, my God. It's him.
Scotty: Well, answer it.
Kevin: I don't want to.
Scotty: Kevin, what are you, 6?
Kevin: Uh... Hello? Oh, hi. What, right now? Sure. I'll come over.
Scotty: What does he want?
Kevin: I have no idea.

Justin: Wait, so every painting is $500?
Scotty: Yeah, but they're anonymous. That way the only reason to buy it is because you like it.
Justin: Rebecca loves this one. But five... You know, I can't afford that.
Scotty: Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm getting Kevin boxers for Valentine's Day.
Justin: I was going to go underwear too, but she's pregnant. You know, it seems a little inappropriate, but I don't know what to do. I'm totally out of ideas.
Scotty: Wait, are you asking me what to get a woman for Valentine's Day? Because the last valentine I gave to a woman was written in crayon and there were boxes for yes and no, so...
Justin: Things were so much easier back then.
Scotty: Yeah.
Kevin: He's your boyfriend. You have to get him something for Valentine's Day.
Sarah: No, we've never actually used that word. We haven't been seeing each other that long.
Kevin: You're having sex. So he's either your boyfriend or a friend with benefits.
Sarah: Oh God. I'm sorry, Kevin. There's got to be something in between.
Kevin: Maybe, but that was definitely a boyfriend wave. I don't get it. Two weeks ago he was Mr. Perfect.
Sarah: No, I like Roy. You know I don't like Valentine's Day. It's too much pressure and I don't see why I should have to define my relationship so that some greeting-card company can make money. I mean, it's the opposite of romantic if you think about it.
Kevin: Yeah, it's not like meeting a beautiful man in the south of France.
Sarah: Stop it.
Kevin: Didn't he...?
Sarah: No, I never texted back.
Kevin: I'm sorry. Has it ever occurred to you, you might still be in love with Luc?
Sarah: Kevin, I was never in love with Luc. I was enthralled. There is a difference. Secondly, it didn't work out. It was impractical, and I am trying to be a grown-up.
Kevin: Right. So ask Roy to be your valentine. It's no big deal. Even Paige has a valentine this year.
Sarah: I'm sorry?
Kevin: Oh, you didn't...
Sarah: No, I didn't.
Kevin: Oh, well, me and Paige are tight.
Sarah: Kevin.
Rebecca: Oh, Justin.
Scotty & Justin: Hey.
Roy: So I think I have this great idea for Sarah's valentine gift.
Rebecca: Oh, what is it?
Roy: Roller skating.
Justin: Ooh, uh...
Roy: No good?
Justin: No. She broke her ankle roller skating when she was 12. I think she still suffers from PTSD.
Roy: Okay. I just thought it would be retro and hilarious. Romantic in that...
Scotty: Olivia Newton-John in Xanadu kind of way? I totally get it.
Rebecca: Let's think about it. What else could you get her?
Roy: I don't know. We're both kind of practical people with kids. This is why I thought about doing something rather than a gift. We could spend some time alone.
Rebecca: Wow, yeah. You've really thought about this. That's so nice.
Roy: Yeah.

Scotty: Valentine's Day hardly ever happens on a weekend. I was picturing breakfast in bed. Instead we're spending it here in suits.
Kevin: Well, the good news? The announcement is 20 minutes, but Valentine's is all day.
Scotty: Well, I think we'd better stop unless we want to end up on YouTube.
Paige: If Cooper gets to go to Disneyland, can I at least take off this necklace? The pearls are choking me.
Sarah: No, that's what Republicans wear. I've got right-wing hair, so suck it up.
Paige: Can I at least wish Aunt Kitty good luck?
Sarah: Yeah, don't get in anyone's way, okay?
Kevin: You look great.
Sarah: God, I hate Valentine's Day.
Kevin: Oh, did you ever get Roy anything?
Sarah: Yes. Chili-pepper chocolate.
Kevin & Scotty: Ooh.
Sarah: And then we broke up.
Kevin: Wait, seriously?
Scotty: On Valentine's Day?
Sarah: It was a mutual decision.
Kevin: I'm sorry.
Sarah: No, it's the right thing. I'll be alone for the rest of my life, but I'm fine.
Kevin & Scotty: Sarah...
Scotty: Mmm-mmm. It's true. Look at my track record. My marriage fell apart, every relationship since has fizzled, Luc was too much of a good thing, and Roy never really heated up.
Kevin: That's a couple of misfires. You're still young.
Scotty: Exactly. And you look great.
Kevin: Right.
Sarah: Guys, come on. Stop it. I mean, I'm good at a lot of things. My career, my kids. I just have this one area of my life that I don't seem to be able to make work. Whoever said you can have it all is a big fat liar. Oh, I needed that mimosa.
Kevin: Well, on the upside, Holly didn't sell her shares.
Sarah: Oh, please don't start with that otherwise I'm going to have to toss the juice go to the straight grape.
Nora: Okay. They're ready to start. I can't believe the three of you are in here drinking while the GOP is out there denying global warming. Thanks. That's just... Just a little sip.
Sarah: Oh, here he is.
Scotty: Hey.
Sarah: I'm so sorry. It's awful. Come here.
Justin: Well, thanks.
Sarah: How's Rebecca?
Justin: Okay, I guess. She's, uh, she's here.
