Be My Valentine Love is a blip on the monitor of involuntary human response. -- LaCroix, Be My Valentine And you say that love conquers all. Well not for you St. Valentine, and not for me. Not for any of the heartbroken. -- LaCroix, Be My Valentine Is that LaCroix talking about love? I can't imagine why some woman hasn't snapped him up. I take it he's not your type. -- Natalie and Nick, Be My Valentine What insanity compels you to tune him in? I'm not sure. -- Natalie and Nick, Be My Valentine All this talk of love makes people do very strange things. -- Natalie, Be My Valentine Any little thing I can do to make you feel a bit more human. Well, sometimes I do now. Sometimes. Certain times, with certain people. -- Natalie and Nick, Be My Valentine There's only one thing that can make us both this popular. -- Natalie, Be My Valentine Do you remember those little candy hearts with the messages on them we used to exchange at school? Don't be shy. Your the tops. No. Not exactly. -- Natalie and Nick, Be My Valentine Sometimes its the little things that sweep us off our feet. -- Natalie, Be My Valentine Who's the loser who came up with February 14th for Valentine's Day? Man, fifty-one days between playing big-spender Santa and shower-her-with-gifts cupid. It's ridiculous! -- Schanke, Be My Valentine The problem is women do not know what they want! You know what I think women want, Schank? A man whose not afraid to express his love. -- Schanke and Nick, Be My Valentine Just say no to love. A carnival kewpie and an electric blanket will give you more satisfaction. Don't give them your heart. -- LaCroix, Be My Valentine Ooh, now that's something that Myra would flip over. Yeah, so would my accountant. -- Nick and Schanke, Be My Valentine What? Get tanked and I missed it? Vitamin A for my skin condition. -- Schanke and Nick, Be My Valentine Holidays are hard. Specially on your pocket book. Specially if you're single. -- Cohen, Schanke and Nick, Be My Valentine You cannot be in love. You've not one shred of humanity left in you! My immortality has nothing to do with my feeling....love. -- Nick and LaCroix, Be My Valentine Driving and thinking about what? About what? About nothing, about everything. About you, about me. About us. What about us? Come here. What are we going to do about this. About how we feel..... (Nick is about to kiss Natalie when) BEEP BEEP BEEP My two-minute gourmet. I guess I should... (undaunted, Nick kisses her) -- Natalie and Nick, Be My Valentine You two partners now? Did you synchronize your watches? Beepers. -- Schanke, Nick and Natalie (together), Be My Valentine This is what he is Fleur! Look at him! This is what I've become. -- Nick, Be My Valentine How are you doing? Almost done. Identical MO and cause of death, but I'm not just stating the obvious. I mean about before. About us. It's sort of unbelievable, isn't it? And yet it feels... right somehow. Of all the crazy places to....definitely strangulation. TOD likely in the last, oh, six hours or so. Is she OK? She seems kind of preoccupied? -- Nick, Natalie and Schanke (interrupting), Be My Valentine It is the beauty of her innocence that you love. And that you will kill with the first taste of her blood. If you truly love Fleur, LaCroix, you won't destroy that. You will not. -- Nick, Be My Valentine Tis a great irony is it not, that such a cold steel heart can feel such pain. -- LaCroix, Be My Valentine How can anyone know if its real and not something we invented because we can't live without it? How can WE know? Are you afraid? No. Go on. You better go home before the sun comes up. -- Natalie and Nick, Be My Valentine Keep tomorrow night open? I don't know. I'll have to check my dance card. -- Nick and Natalie, Be My Valentine Ooh. An invitation to dine. -- Natalie, Be My Valentine A gentleman from the thirteenth century? OK, so he's a little bit weird. -- Schanke, Be My Valentine Perhaps we should talk a little about love. -- LaCroix to Natalie, Be My Valentine Yes. You've probably done me a favor. But you must realize, Nicholas, that I will demand retribution. One day when you have fallen in love, I will take from you what you have taken from me now. We are agreed? If I ever truly love a mortal... ARE WE AGREED? We are agreed. -- LaCroix and Nick (the brick), Be My Valentine You do love Nicholas, do you not? Yes. -- LaCroix and Natalie, Be My Valentine True love is like morphine. One dose and you are enslaved. -- LaCroix, Be My Valentine Obviously I know what Nick is. That's how we met. But I really don't see that as a problem. That's a very good attitude, but an insurmountable problem. There's nothing more captivating than meeting one's opposite. You fuse together like two sides of the same coin. But that is a luxury that neither I or Nicholas may afford. We may mix minds with mortals, but anything more than that could be quite hazardous to your health. Well, I guess I knew the risks when I signed on. -- Natalie and LaCroix, Be My Valentine A toast, then, to new friends, old champagne, and passions of the heart. -- LaCroix, Be My Valentine Have you considered that Nicholas' so-called condition is the very quality that you adore? -- LaCroix, Be My Valentine You gave your word, LaCroix, never to invade my life with your mindless killing. Your memory is as weak as the object of your love. I will have the retribution that you promised me. I will deprive you of the mortal that you love, or I will deprive her of you. Either way, your promise will be fulfilled. -- Nick and LaCroix, Be My Valentine What makes you think that I'm in love with her? I have seen it with my own eyes. Do you think this is about love? She knows what I am. She's working to lift this curse from me. If she happens to have an infatuation for me, is it not in my best interests to humor her? Hypocrisy from you is even more sickening than I expected. -- Nick and LaCroix, Be My Valentine I do not love this woman. Then prove it to me. Bring her over. And if I refuse? Then I will do with her as I please. At least she is someone who will improve our kind's reputation. -- Nick and LaCroix, Be My Valentine NO! Why not? I know you too well. You revere all that is mortal. All that is human. If you really loved her, you would never take that from her. You would rather see her die. I will not trade Fleur for that. Your heart is still untouched. It has never quickened with such passion, never ached with such sorrow. But someday it will, Nicholas. Someday it will. -- LaCroix and Nick, Be My Valentine Myra's a saint! -- Nick, Be My Valentine Uhh, about last night...I didn't do anything or say anything... You mean you don't remember? All right, I don't remember a thing from the time that I walked into the restaurant until you took me home in the cab last night. I usually hold my wine a little better than that. We had a good time. That's all. It's about time, don't you think? Yeah...we did? -- Natalie and Nick, Be My Valentine We had a really good time? Really good. We should really do that again sometime. -- Natalie and Nick, Be My Valentine Love exists, rages within. A silent scream of endless pain. A hellish alchemy indeed. Without equal. Not death, not hell itself. But a precious, precious flower. Long withered, gone. -- LaCroix, Be My Valentine
