Tony: Another Valentine’s Day! I really hate Valentine’s Day.
Chelsea: What’s your problem?
Tony: I’m sick of seeing heart-shaped boxes, stuffed animals, and cupid decorations everywhere. Lovey-dovey couples on the street and nothing but sentimental movies on TV – that’s what I have a problem with.
Chelsea: You’re just jaded because you don’t have a valentine on Valentine’s Day.
