Monday, February 11, 2008 Once again Henry and Vienna disagree about Katie and Brad's relationship. Henry goes to get some air and runs into Brad at Yo's. They decide to play poker. Today’s episode was directed by Habib Azar. No writer listed due to writer's strike.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Vienna: Katie and Brad are a perfect couple. They just need a little nudge in the right direction. Henry: A little nudge? You're pushing them off a cliff and pulling us along with them. Vienna: How can you be so unromantic? Henry: Oh! Vienna: Katie doesn't even know what she wants right now, so it's up to us to help her. Henry: No. Wrong! No, wrong. Katie's love life is her own, and let me emphasize this, her own private business. Not yours. Vienna: I am not making Katie's love life my business. I'm just trying to -- improve it a little. Henry: Oh, come on. Come on, when you tried to help Brad get Katie -- he broke his leg. No, and then -- and then she nearly choked to death on the ring that he gave her. Vienna: Those were freak accidents! Henry: It's freaky. They're very, very freaky. Now, why don't you stop, while the rest of us are uninjured. Vienna: I am no quitter. Henry: I'm not saying you're a quitter, you're stubborn. Vienna: Well, Brad and Katie belongs together. Henry: No, they don't. Vienna: Yes, they do! Henry: Oh no, they don't. I know Katie. I know what she needs. What makes you such an expert all of a sudden? Vienna: Because I am a woman! Katie needs what women has needed since the beginning of time! Katie: Hey. All Katie needs right now, is the cake she ordered.
Henry: I was just telling Vienna to back off. That there's no chance that you and Brad will ever be together. Vienna: Katie, Brad is a gorgeous man who worships you, and that's what every woman wants. Henry: He worships his own ego. I wish you would stop playing matchmaker. Vienna: You just never listen to my point. Henry: I listen to your point. I disagree with your point. Vienna: Oh, now who's stubborn? Katie: Why are you guys fighting about this? It's ridiculous. Brad and I are not happening. We are professional colleagues, period. That's it. There is no chance that we will ever have a future. So, may I just pick up my cake? I'm expected at Tom and Margo's for dinner tonight, and I don't want to show up empty-handed. Vienna: Yes, here's your cake, Katie. Katie: Thank you. Henry: Have a good night, bubbles. Katie: Good night. Henry: Good night. Vienna: Good night, Katie. Henry: Good night. Well, I'm so ashamed of myself. Vienna: Really? Henry: Yeah. I want to apologize. Vienna: Oh, that's not necessary, Henry. Henry: Yeah, it is. It is. I'm really disappointed in myself. You know, right there I was really close to saying, "I told you so." Vienna: Oh! You -- just -- don't talk to me! Henry: That goes double for me, baby. Vienna: Stay out of my way and my work. Henry: Fine! I need a break!
Brad: Henry! Henry: Hey, can I have a double martini, please. Up. Dry. No olives. Actually just a big glass of gin, please. Lots of it. Brad: Put it on my tab. Hey man, if I wanted a deep freeze, I could go outside. Henry: That's an idea, Brad. Brad: It's good to know you're not getting rid of me that easily. Can I get another one? You know, what? Sit down, sit down. Come on, come on, come on. I just don't get it. I don't get it. You have a beautiful, fun, sexy woman at home. Why are you here talking to me? Henry: First of all, I am not here talking to you. And second of all, the reason that I am here, lonely and alone is because you have destroyed my happy, little home, Brad. You have convinced Vienna to accomplish the impossible and bring you and Katie together. It is all she can think about! Brad: Okay. Well, okay, your worries are over. There's nothing left for Vienna to do. Okay, because it is over between me and Katie. Henry: See, that's I keep telling her. Katie says the same thing. Brad: Katie -- Katie, she said that? Henry: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. She said that the relationship between Brad and I is purely professional and there is no chance of a future between us. Brad: By no chance at all. I mean, she means, absolutely none? Henry: I took that to be her meaning, Brad, yeah. It's over, pal. Brad: Yeah, man. Yeah, it's over. Man, it's so unfair. Henry: I know.
Henry: I know it seems unfair now, Brad, looking at it from the bottom of a bottle. Brad: It's not my fault. I'm Jack's brother. So, could I help that? I could have been anybody's brother, okay? We could be brothers. Henry: No. Heaven forbid. Could I have another martini, please? Brad: Just because my name -- just because, just because my name is Snyder, I haven't got a chance with Katie. Henry, I love her, man. And it's unfair, because Jack is always there. You know, he won't even let her think about moving on and starting a new life. It's like I'm a victim of fate and biology. Henry: Brad, please. Please try to remember that the world did not begin with the Snyder brothers, okay? I hate to disillusion you, but Katie had a life before Jack and Brad. Brad: I know that. Henry: I don't think you do know that. Look, I was married to her, but more importantly, I am her friend. And I have watched her run from one crazy relationship to another, and they always end up with heartbreak. And along comes Jack, upends her life, and before she has a chance to catch her breath, here comes you. Now, if you really do indeed love her, would you let her get her act together? Would you let her move on with her life? And would you please move on with yours?
Brad: Hey, just keep 'em coming, man. Henry -- you know what? You're a really good friend. Henry: No, I'm not a good friend. You know what? Why don't you have something to eat? Here. Brad: Not hungry. I just don't seem to care much about food anymore. Every time I think about eating I just -- I'll say, "I will never see Katie eat again." Have you ever noticed how beautiful she is when she eats? Henry: I try not to dwell on it, Brad. Brad: I notice everything about her, Henry. The way she sips a soda. The way she flipped an omelet once on the show. The way she -- the way she doesn't wear a hat. Henry: No, no, they can't take that away from you. Brad: Good point. See, that's the end of the day, Henry. It's about the love, right? I mean, that's what it's about. It's about the love. Henry: Okay, I'm going to throw up here. I can't take anymore of this. You know what? I know a friendly little poker game not too far from here. Why don't you come along? Give you a chance to take your mind off of Katie. Brad: I don't think it'll do any good. But yeah, at this point I am definitely willing to try anything, you know what I'm saying? Henry: Yeah, yeah. Put that down. Brad: Okay.
Poker player #1: That's 500 to you. Henry: Brad? You need to put up 500 to stay in. His head's not really in the game. Sorry. Poker player #2: His head's in that bottle of scotch. Gray: Who cares? As long as he's fattening up this pot for me. Brad: How much is this color again? Henry: You need five of those, Brad. Are you sure you know what you're doing? Gray: Henry, let the man give me his money if that's what he wants. So that's $500 to you, Henry. Still feeling lucky? Henry: Call. Poker player #2: Two pair, kings up. Gray: Ace-high straight. Beat that, Henry. Henry: Kings full. Sorry, Gray. Poker player #1: Whoa, wait you guys. What have you got, Brad? [ Brad laughs ] Brad: Yeah, I got nothing. Gray: I like the way your friend plays poker. Henry: Yeah, he is fun, isn't he? It's not exactly poker though. Gray: This is turning into a big night for you, Henry. You're on a streak. Henry: Oh, the night is young. Anything can happen, Gray! Vienna: Well, I thought I'd find you here. If you value what we have together, you come home with me right now. Gray: Who is this beautiful creature, Henry? Introduce me, please. Henry: Not a creature exactly -- a woman, very much so. Vienna, this -- this is the poker players. Gray: Vienna -- beautiful name. Gray Gerard. It is a pleasure, Vienna. Vienna: Oh, hello. I'm sorry to interrupt. Henry, you're not going to make me beg, are you? Are you coming? Henry: Listen, I'm winning, okay? And it's not polite to leave when you're ahead like that. Just go home and I'll be there shortly. Vienna: Oh, well that's all right, I'll wait. I'm not going anywhere without you.
Henry: Um, Vienna, sweetie, darling, just one more hand. I have to give these guys a chance. Vienna: Remember what happened last time? Quit while you're ahead. Right, Gray? Gray: Whatever you say, gorgeous. Henry, if I had a woman like this waiting for me, I wouldn't be playing poker. Vienna: Thank you, Gray. See, Henry. Come on. Come home for me. Henry: Sweetie -- Gray: I wouldn't blame you for going. Henry: All right -- all right. Forgive me -- forgive me, gentlemen. Have a good night. Brad, are you coming? Brad: I guess so -- Henry: Okay. Brad: The scotch is gone. Vienna: Okay, I'm taking my man home and three's a crowd, if you know what I mean, Brad? Gray: Don't worry, gorgeous. We'll entertain old Brad here. You are a lucky man, Henry. Very lucky man. Vienna: Thank you, boys. Brad, thank you for being understanding. Gray, we're in your debt. Gray: When you're in debt to Gray Gerard, baby, you'll know it. Brad, old pal, what do you say we find you another bottle of scotch, and play some real poker?
