Julia: Well, you do have a flaw after all.

Harrison: Oh yeah? What's that?

Julia: Your job.

Harrison: I thought women liked doctors.

Julia: We do like lab coats, but the flying around everywhere is not so good.

Harrison: I'm only going to San Francisco for one night.

Julia: Couldn't somebody else do it, just tonight?

Harrison: No, I'm the best. If it's any consolation¹, when I'm fixing his heart...you can hold mine.

Julia: Oh. Thank you. Thank you.

Harrison: Hey, what are you doing? No. I can't miss my plane. No.

Julia: I can't believe you're leaving me on Valentine's Day.

Harrison: You said you had something to do.

Julia: I do have something to do. I do have something to do. I just don't know that I wanna do it. You know my friend Kara?

Harrison: Which one's Kara?

Julia: Neurotic², hot mess. She throws this annual "I Hate Valentine's Day" dinner.

It's a bit of a downer, actually.

Harrison: What's there to hate?

Julia: Nothing, if you're a handsome, divorced doctor. But for the rest of us single women, it's kind of a giant cosmic bitch slap. It's the universe saying, "Look, remember when you were 14, and you had cystic acne and braces³, and you played the saxophone in the marching band, and no one would invite you to the winter formal? Well, nothing's changed."

Harrison: I would crawl over cut glass to take you to the winter formal. And then I would prescribe Retin-A for your skin.

Julia: That's why you're my valentine.
