Holden Bristow (Bradley Cooper).In Los Angeles, florist Reed Bennett
(Ashton Kutcher) proposes to his girlfriend Morley (Jessica Alba) who
accepts, much to the surprise of Reed’s friends Alfonso (George Lopez)
and Julia Fitzpatrick (Jennifer Garner). Morley changes her mind and
leaves Reed later in the day. Alfonso tells Reed he and Julia knew it
would never work out between him and Morley, and Reed wishes they had
told him. Julia, a primary school teacher, has recently fallen in love
with Dr. Harrison Copeland (Patrick Dempsey), but does not know that he
is married
.
Reed finds out when Harrison orders flowers for both his wife and for
Julia. Reed warns Julia, and she refuses to believe it but does not get
on the plane. Instead, she goes to the hospital at which he works, and
inquires after him. The nurses at the counter reveal to her that he is
married and tell her the name of the restaurant where he and his wife
will be dining that evening. Dressed as a waitress, Julia makes a scene
at the restaurant, and gives back the toy Harrison gave her that
morning. Harrison's wife, Pamela, recognizes the toy and leaves him at
the restaurant. One of Julia’s students, Edison (Bryce Robinson),
orders flowers from Reed, to be sent to his valentine. There is a delay
in the delivery, but Edison insists that Reed delivers the flowers the
same day. They are for Julia; however, she suggests to Edison to give
the flowers to a girl in the class, which he does.
