The Truth About Valentine's Day
from Valentine's Day
Written by Katherine Fugate, Abby Kohn, Marc Silverstein
Julia tries to convince her boyfriend, Harrison, to stay in town for Valentine's Day instead of flying to San Francisco for work. As they prepare for their day, Julia explains the social pressure and 'cosmic bitch-slap' that the holiday represents for single people.
JULIA: Don’t leave today.
HARRISON: I told you yesterday, I have to fly up to San Francisco.
JULIA: But it’s Valentine’s Day.
HARRISON: I know. And your face was the first thing I wanted to see this morning. But I have two in vitros at the clinic today. You can’t tell follicles when to burst.
HARRISON: What about you? Are you really going to that dinner tonight?
JULIA: I don’t know. It technically is only for single people. But since you’re gonna be gone I’ve got nothing else to do.
