In a post shared to Instagram on Wednesday, Feb. 12, Hathaway, 42, wrote, “Three movies with Garry Marshall? Color me grateful. Valentine’s Day came out FIFTEEN years ago.”

In the caption to the post, which included a clip of one of her scenes from the film, Hathaway added: “enjoy this clip (where I inexplicably decided to give the character ‘Katya’ a southern drawl 😂 ) Happy Valentine’s Sugar💘”

“Hi,” she answers, as she clumsily knocks her helmet to the ground. “Oh, I was thinking about you all night long. Oh I’m sorry I didn’t answer on the first ring. It’s not my fault. I was thinking about what you were gonna do to me and I just couldn’t wait. I didn’t have a free hand.”

At that, a woman walking her dog comes up alongside Liz, saying, “If he says, ‘Yes,’ it’ll take me a minute to change.”
