Valentine's Day

VALENTINE'S DAY Written by Katherine Fugate Current Revisions by Abby Kohn & Marc Silverstein 2/18/9 Director: Garry Marshall Producers: Mike Karz, Wayne Rice Studio: New Line Cinema FADE IN: EXT. FLOWER MART - DOWNTOWN L.A. - 4:30 A.M. The sun isn’t even up yet, but a sea of Amazonian red roses shine under the lights of the downtown flower mart. More than 80 VENDORS begin their day, readying their stalls at the downtown flower mart where Angelenos come to buy the freshest, most extravagant flora in town. It's always springtime here. INT. REED BENNETT’S HOUSE - MID-WILSHIRE - 5 A.M. REED BENNETT (late 20s) wakes up easily, naturally. Handsome, rugged. Smile on his face, happy to be alive. He looks at the clock beside him. 5 a.m. Softly, he turns his head. MORLEY CLARKSON (late 20s), lays sound asleep beside him. Reed gets up. Pulls on pajama bottoms. Then reaches under the bed, and pulls out a small box. Opens it. The perfect engagement ring inside. He sits on the bed, looking at her sleeping face. Softly pulls her left hand out from under the pillow. Reed now holds her naked left hand. When Morley wakes up. Catches the scene. She starts to say something, but: REED I know you don’t like a big, mushy, romantic scene. No skywriting. No writing your name in flower petals. She laughs. REED (CONT'D) Just you and me. Together. And frankly, that’s all I want. That’s all I need. I love you Morley. Will you marry me?
