Tuesday, February 17, 2009 Carly tells Henry that her business venture with Craig has fallen through. Henry tells her not to give up, and later calls her when he sees Craig meeting with her replacement at the Lakeview. They conspire to sneak her away so that Carly and Lily can meet with the distributor without Craig. Today’s episode was directed by Michael Eilbaum and written by David A Levinson.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Henry: Ooh. This is going to be the best-looking bottle in the joint. All the other bottles will weep with shame and embarrassment. Carly: That's a nice thought. Henry: When do we get to put this baby up on the shelves? Carly: Never. Henry: Why not? I don't understand. I thought you and moneybags Montgomery were going into the designer vodka business. Ah, I see. You had a spat? Carly: You could call it that. Or you could say we had a major parting of the ways. Henry: Oh, don't say that. No, think of the vodka. Isn't there some way you can work it out? Carly: Not in this lifetime.
Henry: Okay, talk to me. Carly: What do you like me to say? Henry: I would like to know what happened with you and Craig. Why everything just fell apart. Carly: It's just not going to work out, all right? Henry: No, no, no. You were so excited about this. Carly: I know, I was, I was. I thought it was a really great opportunity, but it's just not going to happen. That's all. Henry: There has to be more to it than that. Craig is a smart man. He wouldn't just let you get away. Carly: Well, he made it perfectly clear that he's prepared to move on without me. Henry: Oh, that's a negotiating ploy. You're money in the bank. He needs you. Carly: Then why did he say that designers like me are "a dime a dozen"? Henry: He said that? Carly: Uh-huh. Henry: Oi. Carly: And he wasn't opening talks, either. He was slamming the door right in my face. Henry: You listen to me. You are Carly Tenney Snyder Snyder Snyder -- that's who I'm looking at right now. You are a powerhouse. Carly: Henry, that's the sweetest thing anybody's ever said to me. Henry: I am not just saying it to be sweet. When I'm behind the bar, I have to tell the truth. It is a sacred place. Carly: Okay, I'll try to keep that in mind. Henry: Listen, there has to be some way that you and Craig can work this out. I mean, for crying out loud, you almost married the guy! Carly: Ew! That is exactly why I cannot work with him. Henry: No, no, no, no! Ah-ha! Sit! Now we are getting somewhere. Has something else been going on? Have you been crunching something more than just numbers? Carly: No! Henry: Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh -- bar, sacred place, no lies. Carly: Henry, there is nothing going on between me and Craig, and there never will be. Henry: Never say never. Carly: He has this way of destroying everything that he touches. Henry: He touched you? Carly: No! No, Henry. I'm just not going to let him destroy what pathetic bit of life I have left.
Henry: You're in my seat. Craig: Am I? Oh, well, let me make it up to you. Perhaps with a martini of your choice? Henry: You want to buy me a drink? Craig: Unless you have some objection. Henry: Just the cold fear of what you might want from me in return. Craig: Only your company. Henry: I'll pass. Craig: Your loss. Henry: Yes, loss. Speaking of loss, I hear from Carly that you are out of the booze biz. Craig: On the contrary. I'm just not in it with her. Henry: She's the label's designer. Craig: No, she was the label's designer. In fact, that's why I'm here. Henry: What, trolling the Lakeview, hoping that some other beautiful, talented artist will stumble into your barstool? Craig: I don't need to hope, Henry. Here she is now. Edie! Thank you so much for meeting me. This is my friend, Henry Coleman. Henry: Hello. Edie: Hello. Craig: Edie and I are going to discuss the possibility of her taking over the design for midnight sun. Edie, would you mind having a seat right over here? I'll be with you in a moment. Edie: Sure. Craig: She really is something, isn't she? Already has me saying, "Carly who?" I'm sure Mr. Siegler, our distributor, will think the same thing. We're meeting with him this afternoon. Well, have fun, Henry. See you around.
Carly: [Cell phone ringing] Hello? Henry: Carly, it's Henry. Carly: What's up? Henry: Remember how I told you that Craig needed you? That midnight sun would never go anywhere without you? Carly: Amazingly, I do remember. It was 20 minutes ago. Henry: Yeah well, I may have spoken too soon, because I just ran into Craig, and he is meeting with your potential replacement right now.
Carly: You're sure Craig was meeting with another designer? Lily: You saw him with her? Henry: I got a real good look at her. Carly: You think maybe it was just a ploy, you know, to get under my skin? Henry: I don't think so. Carly: Why not? Henry: They mentioned something about meeting a distributor? Carly: Siegler? Henry: Yeah, yeah, that's the name. Carly: Oh! He wouldn't dare. Hello, this is Carly Tenney calling. Is Mr. Siegler available? I see. Yeah, you know, we must have gotten our signals crossed. Thanks, anyway. Bye. Oh! His assistant said that Siegler is on his way to Oakdale to have a meeting with Craig. Damn him. Henry: Who? Craig or Siegler? Carly: Craig. How could he do this to me? Henry: Carly, you can't be that surprised. I mean, you said yourself there could be no reconciliation between you two. Carly: Yeah, you said he needed me. Henry: I was wrong. It happens to the best of us sometimes. Carly: I can't believe this is happening. You know, this is really my chance to turn things around for myself. Lily: Wait, you're just going to give up? Carly: What do you suggest I do, lily? Lily: Well, for starters, don't let him take this away from you. Fight back. Come on, Carly, if anybody can out-Craig Craig, it's you. Henry: Wow, lily, that's so underhanded. One might even say cutthroat. I'm shocked and yet, very impressed. Carly: How exactly am I supposed to stop him? Henry: Well, I would say the first thing you do is put yourself in his moccasins and think like he does, as repulsive as that may sound. Carly: I already know what he's thinking. He's thinking he's got me right where he wants me, and he's enjoying the hell out of it. Lily: Then quit letting him call all the shots. Show him that nobody handles Carly Tenney. Henry: Sing it, sister! Carly: Well, maybe I could do that. With a little help from my friends. Paul: Please don't do this.
Carly: Okay, you're on. Don't blow it. [With Russian accent] Henry: Hello. I am Aleksandr Siegler. You are Edie, no? Edie: Mr. Siegler. [Speaking Russian] I'm fluent in the language. Henry: Ah. But we are in united states. And in states, I speak English. It makes me feel like -- patriot. Now you come with me. Up, up. We go to farm. A farm what is growing potatoes. Good for vodka, no? You must see. Edie: What about Mr. Montgomery? Henry: Later. Now, your company with me. Edie: Oh, well, I am very excited about this project. You know, vodka's in my blood. Henry: Da. Mine, too. This very moment.
