Are you wondering how Tavos and Grace are spending Valentine’s Day? There is no need to guess. I figured I’d ask them.
Kimber: Valentine’s Day is coming up. Do you have any special plans?
Tavos: Valen-f***in’-tine’s Day? What kind of piece of s*** holiday is that?
Grace (wiggles in her chair): Ohhhh, I love Valentine’s Day.
Tavos (gives her THE look): F***. You do?
Grace (sighs dreamily): I’ve never had a boyfriend for Valentine’s Day.
Tavos: F***. I’m not your f***in’ boyfriend and I’m not celebrating Valen-f***in’-tine’s Day. I’m a f***in’ killer, not some teenage f***in’ Romeo.
Grace (touches the cuff of his shirt): You don’t have to give me much, flowers, maybe chocolates.
Tavos: I’m not your f***in’ boyfriend and I’m not giving you f***in’ flowers.
Grace: And chocolates. (Pats his arm) Don’t forget the chocolates.
Tavos: F***. Next you’ll be wanting a f***in’ amethyst bracelet.
Grace (tilts her head): Wellllll…
Tavos: F***, this is impossible. I’m f***in’ leaving. (He storms out)
Grace (leans over and whispers): I think I’m getting an amethyst bracelet for Valentine’s Day.
Tavos (reappears in the doorway, a scowl on his scarred face): Grace, are you f***in’ coming or what?
