Telephone: <ring! Ring! Ring!> Paige: I got it! I got it! Hello... the beautiful and available Paige Fox speaking.... Daddy, I don't care if your car ran out of gas! You can't call and tie up the phone like this! Roger: I'll be really glad when this Valentines dance is over. Andy: Were you working late?

There is one boy who does ask Paige every year and she always says no, and ends up regretting it when she doesn’t get a valentine OR doesn’t get to go to the dance.
