Oh, yeah, you're dancing to "I Want Her" by Keith Sweat.

Dr. Cupid wants everyone out there to follow his love prescription.

Just stay tuned to WHZU.

And remember, there are only 48 hours until V-Day.

"V" as in Valentine.

Dr. C., the surgeon general of the airwaves.

I'm glad you're here. Check this out. Watch this.

It's time for Dr. Cupid to get personal.

Today's love line.

"Ladies," he writes.

"I'm an international studies major whose hobbies are literature,

making sushi, and listening to you."

Ooh!

"Are you ready for this much sharing?

"Meet me in the library tomorrow at 4:00.

"I will be under 'R' for romance languages.

"Sensitive non-smokers preferred.

"Sincerely, Darrell Walker.

PS. I got a perfect score on my math SATs." Wow!

Good luck to you, brother.

And now "Funky Pie" by Stu Gardner.

- You dog. You're Darrell Walker. - Yes.

But you don't know how to make sushi.

Hey, if I'm lucky, I will not have to know how to make sushi.

So, what are you gonna do when all those sensitive non-smokers

go to the library looking for Darrell, and they see you?

They're not gonna see me, they're gonna see you.

- You double-dog. - Yeah!

I want you to plant yourself in the library like a space probe,

looking for any sign of life that is female�

and fine.

Fine.

And bring it on home to the Doctor.

- Aye, aye, Doc. - Yeah.

Dr. Cupid! 50,000 watts of jive.

Who does Dwayne Wayne think he's kidding with this Darrell Walker stuff?

Only himself.

Oh, I think it's kind of sweet and romantic.

I think it's desperate.

That, too.

I think they should report Dr. Cupid to the FCC and the AMA.

By the way,

does anybody know who this Darrell Walker person is?

Uh, isn't he one of those Charleston Walkers?

Yeah. Fifth generation.

- Really? - Mm-hmm.

She's on her way to the library!

You know, if Darrell wasn't Dwayne Wayne, I'd go meet him.

I wouldn't.

Sushi tonight, sayonara tomorrow.

Hey�

Hey, I got my Valentine's Day present from Mike.

- Oh, great. Aren't you going to open it? - Wow!

Uh, I have to wait till Valentine's Day. It's our tradition.

Well, it's not my tradition.

It's not your present.

Ooh, I wonder what it is.

Gilbert Hall.

Oh, sure. Um, may I ask who's calling?

Could� �you repeat that, please?

Okay, hold on. I'll get her.

Lettie?

- Mm? - Oh.

Uh, phone call.

It's, uh, Mr. Mpepo?

Hi.

I thought she was home, but she's not.

She� she went somewhere else.

When will she be back?

Never.

Late!

Not never.

Um, late, very, very late.

Oh. Oh, okay. I'll give her the message.

Bye-bye, Mr. Mpepo.

Lettie, he sounded so sweet. Why won't you talk to him?

Wait a minute, Lettie, now.

There's a story here,

and I have a feeling this is going to be good.

He had a foreign accent.

Ooh.

South African. End of story.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute now.

So� where'd you meet him?

Mozambique.

- He had to flee Johannesburg. - Why?

He was publishing incendiary material.

And he kept right on publishing it and smuggling it across the border,

but this is ancient history.

I like ancient history.

Okay. So you met him.

You fell in love with him.

And then what happened?

We worked side by side to get out the paper.

Then he proposed.

Ooh, I knew this was going to be good.

He proposed that while he ran the paper,

I tend to the children,

tend to the children, and tend to the children.

Oh! And in my spare time,

I could run the mimeograph machine.

That was the first time that I threw the machine at him.

How long has it been since you've seen him?

Twenty-eight years, four months.

I think she wants to see him.

Girl, are you kidding? She's dying to see him.

Everybody and their mother will be in red.

I'll go with peacock blue.

I was going to wear peacock blue.

Well, don't.

Have you been listening to Dr. Cupid?

Did you hear the message from Darrell Walker of the Charleston Walkers?

Ah! Yes!

He's the one who got a perfect score on his math SAT.

Well, in spite of that,

something about that ad has stoked my embers.

Whitley!

Oh, put your eyeballs back in their sockets.

Being that needy is an embarrassing and unattractive state.

Totally unbefitting you.

That's why you're going to the library for me.

Marcus.

You never give up.

Of course not.

Is this allowed in the girls' dormitory?

No.

The last I heard, you were teaching in London. What are you doing here?

Attending an economic conference in Washington.

- Oh. - But I want to hear all about you.

- Who is he? - Who is who?

The man fortunate enough to claim you as his bride.

I'm not married, Marcus, which is just fine with me.

Of course.

I know that laugh, it's the one I don't like.

Forgive me, forgive me, Lettie. But you?

Mother Superior to a flock of young children?

What a waste.

I'm teaching them a lot.

How to be stubborn old maids?

Better than stubborn and narrow-minded.

- Oh, I'm stubborn, eh? - Mm-hmm.

- Narrow-minded, eh? - Mm-hmm.

You're the one who takes happiness and throws it away with both hands.

Marcus, I was happy with you.

And I'm happy without you.

You have never been able to understand that.

You are a brilliant woman, but you don't know what you want.

I know what I want now.

I want you to leave.

Throwing it away. Throwing it away.

I didn't hear a thing.

Neither did he.

You know, Lettie. Someone wouldn't get that angry at you

if they didn't really care about you.

If he cares that much about me, then why did he leave?

Because you asked him to.

Every time I see you, you've got your head buried in a book.

I do not.

There's no law against reading in the library.

Sociology 136. Are you in that class?

Yes.

I sit up close.

I'm nearsighted.

Let me see.

Without my glasses, you're just a blur in a hat.

- I'm not wearing a hat. - What?

Gotcha.

How can you see through these things? They're filthy.

I know.

Let me see yours.

I can see!

So can I.

Our prescriptions must be close.

Very close.

Extremely close.

Millie?

Don't ever get contacts.

You know that South African journalist that Lettie was telling us about?

He showed up.

You're kidding.

No. He and Lettie couldn't talk for five minutes without fighting.

They belong together.

Yeah, that's what I look for in a husband. Somebody I can fuss with.

So, did you see Darrell?

Yes. I mean, no.

Well, which one is it?

Well, the only person who came in was�

Ron.

Ron?

I send you out in search of treasure and you bring back a zircon?

Yo, who showed up to meet Darrell?

Ron, I'm talking to you, man.

Get your head out of the ozone layer.

What?

What?

Ladies.

Today's love line is once again from Darrell Walker.

"Ladies, tomorrow is February 14th, and I'm still making sushi solo.

"If you like sunsets, wine coolers, and public television as much as I do,

"meet me at The Pit.

"Wear a red carnation and decorate my lonely table.

Hoping to be yours, Darrell Walker."

Ladies, what's happening? Are your radios broken? Come on.

Darrell is a quality dude.

This is the only man I know

who is secure enough to wear pastel colors.

If Darrell Walker spends Valentine's Day alone,

it will be a travesty of love.

Darrell, I know how you feel, man. This one goes out to you.

Big news. Lady Luck has glanced my way.

I got a date.

With who?

It's Millie, all right?

Millie?

Well, she's a little nervous for my taste, but, uh, you could do a lot worse.

Thanks.

Here you go.

Give her these chocolates.

But what about Darrell?

Oh, Darrell can get them dirt cheap the day before Valentine's Day.

Thanks, Doc.

No problem.

Chocolates!

? So take a good look at my face ?

? You'll see my smile looks out of place ?

? If you look closer, it's easy to trace ?

? The tracks of my tears� ?

Yeah, you and me, Smokey.

- ? I need you ? - ? I need you ?

- ? I need you ? - ? I need you ?

? Since you left me� ?

Dwayne?

Hi.

Could you do me a favor?

Is money green?

You've got to read this announcement on your love line.

- It's for a friend of mine. - Ah.

"Dear Marcus, can we try again?

Life's too short. LB."

Is LB fine?

'Cause we could hook her up with my man, Darrell Walker. Perfect match.

I have a strong feeling she wants Marcus.

Wait a minute.

Denise, it isn't you, is it?

Oh, I'm shocked.

If you wanted a date, all you had to do was come out and say so.

Dwayne, it's not me. I'm going to a party with my girlfriends.

What a waste.

Why? If I can't go with someone I love, I should at least go with someone I like.

Okay, Denise.

What's your type?

Um, I don't know. Someone who's tall�

Or short�

Or perceptive�

Intelligent�

- Funny� - Ah!

There you go, bingo. Funny, that's me. You're talking about me.

The type of guy that would wake me up at three o'clock in the morning,

just to look at the Moon.

Ooh. What would he be doing in your room at three o'clock in the morning?

Quilting.

I'm back.

Why?

Because someone named Dr. Cupid had a message from you.

What did he say?

"Life without you is like a ballet with no swans.

A hoagie without cheese."

Strange wording, but I was touched by the sentiment.

It wasn't me.

But it was to Marcus from LB.

Well, you must have another admirer.

Your appeal brought me over here to apologize.

But since you claim you didn't make it, I'll leave.

Why not apologize anyway? It's good for the soul.

Lettie, you're the only woman I know

who can get me to admit I was wrong.

When did you ever admit you were wrong?

I must have been, or you wouldn't have left me.

Marcus�

I hated saying no as much as you hated hearing it.

But I couldn't marry you then, and I still can't.

I know.

You're right.

You understand?

Understand what?

I'm married.

Married?

She's no, uh, firebrand like you, but our daughter is.

No doubt because we named her after you.

Lettie Mpepo.

Marcus.

I can't think of a better way to have your last name.

I want you to have it.

Oh.

She's going to be a real heartbreaker.

Oh, a man can learn a lot from a difficult�

difficult woman.

And I learned a lot from you.

You did?

It's always useful to know how to throw a mimeograph machine.

Thank you,

Ronald.

You're welcome, Millicent.

May I get you a beverage?

I'll have a mochaccino, but only if you join me.

I would never let you drink alone.

Okay, Maggie. Look, I can't stand the suspense any longer.

- Are you gonna open this or not? - Okay, I'll open it.

Here goes.

"To my beloved Valentine."

Guess that's me.

"Remember this? G-3. Love, Mike."

G-3? G�

The jukebox at The Cave.

That will be the first song we ever danced to!

Oh!

"Wooly Bully."

Oh, that's so sweet.

Here's lookin' at you, kid.

Mm!

It's sweet and spicy.

Sort of like you.

Ron! You devil!

Millie, you deviltress.

Dr. Cupid, making a house call, huh?

Hey, has Darrell gotten a date yet?

No, that brother is home sharpening his Ginsu knives.

You can forget about him.

I'm drinking mochaccino!

Me, too.

Ooh, don't get too wild, kids.

Hi.

I'm a non-smoker, and I love sushi.

You gonna you ask me to sit, Darrell?

Um, Denise�

Come on, Dwayne, give it up.

I didn't need a perfect score on my math SATs

to know that Dwayne Wayne equals Darrell Walker.

Um, Denise, I'm sorry, but I don't know how to make sushi.

Well, that's okay. I'd rather have you than Darrell anyways.

You would?

Dwayne� friends.

Okay.

How about a quilting bee?

Come on, let's dance.

Let's hear it for the Doctor!

? Let's go strollin' through the park ?

Still waters run deep.

? There's a glow in my heart ?

Whitley!

Enjoy yourself, Millie.

And happy Valentine's Day.

By the way, have you seen Darrell Walker?
