- Chapter 20.
Valentine's Day was approaching,
the one holiday the Hayworth siblings
never celebrated together.
And that in itself was cause for celebration.
- Yes, it is. Valentine's Day is a scam, okay?
It's consumerist, it's artificial,
obviously heteronormative.
- That's my gal. - Look, I love my wife.
But why do I have to spend money to show it, hmm?
See? Cost nothing. - Aww.
[laughter]
- [speaking Spanish]
Stop throwing croissants at your cousins!
- We shouldn't have to say this every weekend.
- Well, at least Valentine's is a night without children.
[baby crying]
Not it. - Not it.
Damn it.
- So I'm guessing you two haven't
told Gretchen that you're dating.
- I'm just waiting for the right time.
- Whenever you're ready.
- I'm thinking maybe when she goes off to college.
Yeah. - [laughs] What?
- I just don't know how to tell her that I'm
so serious about someone that for Valentine's Day
I'm taking her to...Silo.
- Oh, I read about that place.
The food's supposed to be insane.
- And it's in an empty bomb shelter
underneath an abandoned subway tunnel.
Very cool, Connor.
- Wow, so cool. Hey, we should clear these.
- 'Bout to get thanked.
- Ew.
- Babe, Silo is such a crazy surprise.
- Yeah. I knew you'd love it.
- I do. But I was gonna surprise you.
We've been going to lots of cool places,
but I thought we could keep Valentine's Day simple.
Something I can pay for, for once.
Since Gretchen will be at her mom's, I was thinking
we could do pizza and a movie at your place.
It'll be more romantic. I promise.
- Totally. No problem.
Big problem.
JoJo has other plans for Valentine's Day.
all: Oh.
- No, other plans with me.
all: Ah. - Yay!
- Yeah, but Silo's already paid for,
and it's non-refundable,
so if I made the reservation for four,
would you guys be down to take it?
Otherwise it's just a complete loss.
- Yes, that's nice. - No, thank you.
- Yes. - Oh, my God.
- It's so elitist-- you guys said yes.
Yay!
Valentine's Day!
[upbeat music]
[soft piano music playing]
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, I don't think we're cool enough to be here.
- Something for the Gram.
- Yeah, definitely not. - Ooh.
- Watermelon vodka and hibiscus liqueur,
with a champagne nitrogen popsicle
served inside hand-blown Austrian glassware.
This is Silo.
[gasps, laughter]
- What? - It's just--it's made-up.
It's mad libs.
Like, oh, drink this chocolate martini
out of a man's shoe.
- But it's so good.
- Yeah, and it probably costs, like, $500.
- It's not even our money. Connor's paying for it.
Like, why you always have to focus on the negative?
- Well, that's her love language.
- Just try to keep it light,
you know, it's Valentine's Day.
- I'm not negative.
Or to put it in a not negative way, I am positive.
- Really? - I am, or I can be.
I-I love this place.
It's totally my vibe.
Cheers, Lulu. To us!
- Aw, to us.
- Lion's mane mushrooms dusted with gold leaf.
This is Silo.
- Gold leaf.
Gold leaf, mmm.
Bet you can taste the money.
I feel rich.
- Are you sure you're okay not being
at the fanciest of fancy restaurants?
- If I was there, I probably wouldn't be doing this,
or this, or this.
- [laughing] [light beeping]
- Security cam.
I'll tell the pizza guy to throw it over the gate.
- You better not! [laughs]
- Uh, not pizza. It's Gretchen and Emily.
- What? Oh, my God. Okay. [clears throat]
[both blowing]
I'll--I'll be in the pantry.
- Okay. Thank you.
There's--your phone charger's still in there
and there's, like, peanut butter
if you get hungry, I guess.

- Oh, but Tom and I, we've been doing it a lot lately.
Especially last week when my dad came to visit.
Oh, no, did my dad make me pregnant?

We don't know if it's anything again.

I didn't even want these last ones.
Don't tell him I said that.
Denise, you do not know what it's like.

- Yeah, we were kinda
keeping it quiet since it's all really new.

I've been in meetings all day with the partners, you know,
negotiating a buyout, and... [laughs]
Somebody needs an assistant for their assistant.

Yeah.
Ah, so what do you do?

- Wow. So like a founder or an angel investor?
- Sort of. I'm an influencer.

Oh. Oh, you are an influencer? Okay.
That's so fun. I love that.
Wait, so how did you and Connor meet again?
- Denise. - Oh.
- My sister. - Of course. Yeah.
No, I was just wondering, you know, how you two met
because, like, Connor usually meets women at conventions
or, you know, UHNW events and--
- UHNW?
- Oh, sorry. Ultra-high net worth.
- Right. Yeah.
We did not meet at one of those.
- Yeah, I mean, they're boring.

Me and all the cousins are obsessed with her.
She's really cool.
- I agree.
So I decided--well, I asked-- um...
if she'd be my girlfriend, and she said yes.
So that's kinda cool, right?

During brunch, you guys are always
in the pantry together having snacks.

Get a room, right?

are the three babies growing inside of me.
- Now there's triplets? Okay.
There's a drugstore on the corner.
I will get you a pregnancy test.
- You would do that for me? - Yes, of course.
Just save whatever weird food they bring out next.

Eat, like, a Hot Pocket over a garbage can

And those other construction guys--I mean, I just know it,

I don't know-- have some reassuring words
so you could be my rock.

I could do that job.
Does you need, like, a special license for that?
No. It's--
