Tuesday, February 24, 2009 More baby drama today. Vienna finds Henry's vasectomy brochure and is not happy. Meanwhile, Katie is rushed to the hospital where it is discovered she had an ectopic pregnancy. Today’s episode was directed by Jennifer Pepperman and written by Gordon Rayfield.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Brad: Henry! Henry: Hey! Katie: Hey! Henry: Welcome to the Coleman golden casino. Brad: Is this legal? Henry: There's no law against a friendly game of cards. Brad: Since when do you think a game of cards is friendly? Henry: I thought a friendly weekly poker game would be fun for all of us. Katie: And keep you out of trouble? Henry: Yeah, well it's better I play with you guys than the sharks I normally hang with. Katie: Or wouldn't it be better if you didn't play at all? Henry: Are you casting aspersions on my capacity for self-discipline? Katie: No, your gambling addiction. Henry: Trust me, sweetheart, these stakes are nothing I could become addicted to. Brad: Where is Vienna? Henry: Well, I left my wallet in my jacket upstairs. So she went to get it while I set up. She should've been back by now. Brad: Well, maybe she decided to stop and fix her make-up. Katie: Because what else could be on a woman's mind other than looking good for her man? Henry: I think you just stepped in it, buddy. Brad: Well, what else is new? Henry: Here she comes, my partner in business and in life and in love! Hello, baby. Whoa, what? Ow! Vienna: How could you? Henry: What -- what did I do? Vienna: This! This! Henry: Oh, oh, that.
Vienna: How could you do this without even telling me? Henry: I didn't -- I didn't actually do it. Vienna: Well, obviously, you were thinking about it! Henry: No, I didn't think about it! Vienna: Then why do you have this brochure? Henry: Because I was gathering information. So I could decide, if I wanted to think about it, which, if I did, I would tell you immediately! Vienna: You can't talk your way out of this, Henry! Brad: It was a nice try, though. Katie: It's not funny, Brad. Vienna: No, it's not. This is sneaky and dishonest. Katie: Maybe you guys should have this conversation somewhere else. Vienna: Yeah, we have. Henry: Yeah, and we can't agree. Vienna: You were going to go and get yourself neutered? Brad: Can we call it something else? Katie: This is their discussion, honey. Brad: Well look, you called it a discussion. But when one of them needs stitches? What do we call it then? Vienna: How could you go behind my back about something this important? Henry: How could you? Vienna: Because I want a baby! Henry: Yeah, I don't! And I didn't do anything about it. You sabotaged my condoms! Brad: She poked holes in his condoms. Did you know that? Henry: Now -- now who's being sneaky and dishonest? Brad: You know, Vienna, he does have a point. Katie: You know, honey, this is their discussion. Let's go. Henry: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Stay, stay. Okay, maybe I was wrong by not telling you about this earlier. But please, you have to admit that you were wrong, too. Vienna: I admit it. Henry: Okay. Then can we agree to talk about it next time, like Katie and Brad? Brad: Yeah, well that's the key to our happiness. Right, honey? Henry: Happiness. Now doesn't that sound great, huh? Yeah? Are we okay? Vienna: Mm-hmm. Henry: Okay. Vienna: Yes, we're okay. Brad: Can we play cards now? 'Cause I'm feeling lucky tonight. Henry: Cards before sex. Good thing we didn't go through with it, huh? Katie: Go through with what? Henry: The vasectomies. Katie: Wait a minute. You were in on this, too?
Brad: You think I want to get a vasectomy? I don't want to sing falsetto. Henry: That doesn't happen! Katie: What were you doing there? Brad: I was just along for the ride. Katie: This is not Disneyland, Brad! Brad: I know that. I know that. I was just -- I was just giving Henry some moral support. Vienna: What's moral about it? Brad: It's responsible. You know, to make sure you don't contribute to an unwanted pregnancy. Vienna: Well, I want to get pregnant! Henry: Do me a favor, Brad -- don't help me out. Brad: I'm sorry. I just want Katie to understand why I was there. Katie: Well, I'm not sure that I do. You hate hospitals. You can't even talk about medical stuff. You wouldn't go anywhere near a scalpel unless you were seriously considering this procedure. Brad: I want a baby. Katie: You're not just humoring me? Brad: Of course not! But you know what the doctor said. It'd be very dangerous for you to be pregnant right now. So I just want to make sure that there are no accidents. That's all. Katie: I wish I could believe that. Brad: It's true! Henry: Why don't we just play cards? Brad: Good idea. Katie: I'm sorry. I don't feel like it anymore. Brad: Can someone please tell me what the hell just happened here?
Henry: I can't believe Katie got so upset. Vienna: I can. Henry: He didn't get the vasectomy. Vienna: Just the fact that he even considered it without even telling her? Besides, they both want a baby. He's just afraid of getting her pregnant, but she knows it's going to be okay. Henry: I'm not following that logic. Vienna: The point is, she never hid the fact that she wanted a baby. But he hid the fact that he was going to make it impossible. Henry: He didn't do anything. Vienna: Why are you being so thick-headed? Henry: Why are you being so stubborn? Vienna: War! Henry: You got that right, sister! Hey, where's Katie? Brad: She wouldn't talk to me. She just drove off. Vienna: She'll calm down. Brad: I just wish I knew what I did that was so wrong. Vienna: You never do. Brad: I usually know what Katie's thinking, but this time -- Vienna: It's probably the hormones. Hormones can make you very emotional. Brad: What hormones? Vienna: You know, she's a woman. She has hormones. Henry: It's never their fault, Brad, it's always the hormones. Vienna: No, that's not true! It's very sexist of you to say so! Sometimes it's true, but it's sexist. Brad: Okay, well, I'm gonna take a cab home. I'm sorry about the card game. Sorry. Henry: We are at war. Vienna: Yeah, you got that right. And you lose! Henry: It's not over yet, sweetheart.
Vienna: Brad! Is she okay? Brad: I don't know -- they're still -- they're still examining her. Henry: What happened? Brad: I came home, I found her -- I found her on the floor. Vienna: Oh, my god! Henry: Have the doctors told you anything? Brad: Not yet. Henry: This is crazy. She was fine when you two left the Lakeview. Brad: Outside, too. I mean, 20 minutes later, I come home, and she's unconscious and bleeding. Vienna: Oh, my god. She'll be okay. Brad: That's what I'm praying for. Doctor: Your wife had an ectopic pregnancy. It ruptured her fallopian tube, and she lost a great deal of blood. Brad: So what are you gonna do? I mean, how do you fix it? Doctor: We're going to take her to surgery. Brad: I don't understand -- how did this happen? Doctor: It's not uncommon in women taking fertility drugs. Brad: Fertility drugs? That's not right. This is messed up. I gotta -- Vienna: No, Brad. It's not messed up. Just let the doctor do his job. Brad: No, you don't understand. She knew how dangerous it was for her to get pregnant. That's why we stopped trying. She wasn't taking fertility drugs. Vienna: Yes, she was.
Brad: What are you talking about? Vienna: Katie didn't give up having a baby. She was still trying. Brad: Did she tell you that she was using fertility drugs? Vienna: No, no, she didn't say, but it makes sense. Brad: No, it doesn't make any sense. I mean, not after what Bob Hughes said. I mean, he said that her body could not support a pregnancy right now. Vienna: She really wants a baby. Brad: So she lied to me? First about the diaphragm and now this. Vienna: But she knew that you didn't want to try. Brad: Yes, of course, Vienna, of course I didn't want to try! Because I was afraid something was going to happen to her! And I was right. Vienna: It'll be okay. Brad: What if it isn't? What if it isn't? I'm sorry, I just -- I really cannot be around anyone right now. Henry: You didn't know? Vienna: That she was taking drugs? No. Henry: This is crazy. This is -- Vienna: I know it seems that way. But a desire to have a child -- that's a very powerful thing, Henry. Henry: Yeah, and look what it's done to her.
Henry: Why didn't you tell me Katie was lying to Brad? Vienna: It wasn't my place. She confided in me. She didn't want him to know that she was trying, and if I told you, you would've told him. Henry: Yes, you're damn right I would've told him. Maybe he could've prevented her from putting her life in danger. Vienna: I didn't know that she was getting fertility treatments. Henry: Is that where you got the idea to poke holes in condoms? From her? Vienna: She told me that she had stopped using her diaphragm without telling Brad. Yes. Henry: Thank god you didn't end up in the hospital. Vienna: I wouldn't because I don't have her medical problems. I'm built for childbearing. Among other things. Henry: It's not funny. Vienna: I'm sorry. All I'm saying is that I wouldn't put my health at risk by getting pregnant. Henry: What about the health of our relationship, Vienna? Have you thought about what all this deception is doing to that? Vienna: I love you, Henry, and you know that. Henry: I love you, too. But I need to know that I can trust you. Vienna: And you can. Henry: No, I can't. |
