Monday, February 25, 2008 Henry and Vienna argue about the diamond necklace Gray gave to Vienna, and his "generous" offer to return the diner. While asking for advice from his old pal Katie, Henry is pulled into a scheme to help Jack and Carly prove Parker's innocence. Henry poses as a nightclub owner who wants to buy Metro from Kit. Today’s episode was directed by John O'Connell. No writer listed due to writer's strike.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Vienna: I don't understand. Do I really have to return the necklace? Henry: How can you even ask me that question? Vienna: But it was a friendly gift. It would be rude to give it back. Henry: It would be worse to keep it. Do you know what it makes me feel like to see that thing around your neck? Vienna: It should make you feel happy because you know I love diamonds, and these were for free. Henry: No, they weren't for free. Gray is going to want to get his money's worth. And besides, I don't want guys buying you expensive gifts when I can't. Vienna: All right. If you can't stand the necklace, I think we should hock it. Because we -- we could use the money. Henry: No, Vienna. Vienna: What is your problem, Henry? Necklace, no necklace, my heart belongs to you. Henry: That's very sweet, and I love your heart, but the diamond choker around your neck is kind of a deal breaker. Vienna: All right, I don't need the necklace. All I need is you. Henry: Okay, that's my girl. Vienna: But gray did make another offer, and I think we should take him up on it. Henry: No, we've already talked about this. He gets to spend the night with you, and we get the diner back? Forget it. Vienna: No, this is a brand new offer. And I didn't mention it before because I know that the mere mentioning of his name makes you furious. Henry: Yes, that's right. It does. Vienna: Okay, so while you were sleeping, gray called, and he offered to return the diner because he knows how much it means to me. No strings, no diamonds, no romantic night. Just think about it, we can have our lives back together. Just the way it is was. Please say yes, for me? Henry: No.
Vienna: Henry, why are you being so stubborn? I'm not going to sleep with gray. He's simply giving us back the diner back for nothing. And if you loved me, you would want me to have it, too. Henry: Would you listen to yourself? Why do you think that gray would give you the diner for free? Vienna: Because he likes me? Henry: Yeah. He likes you way too much, that's the rub. Vienna: No, no. There will be no rub. No back rub, or neck rub, or naked body rub -- Henry: Oh. Ai-yi-yi, come on, come on, come on. Vienna: All we have to do is graciously accept gray's offer, and you were the one who lost al's in a poker game. Henry: I know. I know, and I feel terrible about that, but I do not want to owe gray anything, and neither should you. Okay? We take one penny from the guy and then we are beholden, and trust me, he will want some payback. And I will not like it. So, in case you didn't hear me the first time, the answer is no! Vienna: But why are you being so unreasonable? If you love me -- Henry: I am not being unreasonable. And I do love you, and I don't want to lose you, but this is my line in the sand, okay? Now, either you give back the diamond, and you promise not to accept any more favors from gray, or we are through.
Henry: I'm sorry to interrupt, but I need my best friend right now. Katie: Henry, what's wrong? Henry: It's Vienna. She's got this major bling from this less-than-reputable admirer. Brad: Never mind that right now. Henry: I beg -- Brad: I have an idea. Henry: This is Henry time, not Brad time. Brad: Listen to me, listen to me, it's got to wait, okay? Right now we need a favor. Henry: I don't know why I bother? Katie: Wait, hold on, what are you thinking? Brad: Trust me. If this works, you're going to be golden in Jack's eyes. Katie: Really? Brad: Cross my heart. But just remember, I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this for parker. Okay, hear me out.
Henry: Excuse me, ma'am? Kit fowler, right? Kit: You know me? Henry: Well, I heard you had some property for sale, one that I might be very interested in purchasing. Kit: Who exactly told you that? Henry: Well, I deal with so many lawyers and brokers, it escapes me at the moment. If I may elaborate, though? Kit: Well, I don't really have much time. Henry: I'll be brief. I run a series of successful nightclubs in major cities, and I was hoping to open one here in Oakdale for upscale clientele. I hear metro might be on the market. Kit: Well, yeah, it definitely is, to the highest bidder, of course. Henry: Yes, of course, of course. When I can I see it? Oh, I see you're checking out. I guess now isn't the right time. Kit: No, no, it's a great time. It's a great time. Cancel that cab, okay? Look, you'll love it. It's hip, it's cool, very upscale. Henry: Oh, excellent. Kit: Yeah.
Kit: The customers just love to make an entrance coming down these stairs, and the bar has really some action, you know -- Henry: Yeah, were they filming a "CSI Oakdale" here or something? Kit: No, there was a shooting. My boyfriend was killed. Henry: Oh, I am sorry. That -- that does cut the resale value though. Kit: Well, no, no, not necessarily. There was a mob hit in a restaurant in New York and after that, the place got so popular, you -- you just couldn't get a reservation to save your life. Trust me, the Chicago crowd will eat this up. Henry: Yeah, you may be right. This is the kind of place I'm looking for. What's the asking price? Kit: 250 grand. Henry: That is very reasonable, sold. Kit: Well, actually the 250 grand is just for my share. But don't worry, you can do exactly what you want with the club, I promise. Henry: Well, I'm afraid that kind of casts this whole transaction in a different light. Kit: I can sweeten the deal if you close right away. Henry: Sold again. What do you say we meet tomorrow? We get our lawyers together, we'll transfer the ownership, take care of all the paperwork. Kit: Well, I was actually hoping we could do this right away. It's just that I already checked out of the Lakeview, and I can still catch a later flight. Henry: Yeah, it would be hard to get all the legalities taken care of that fast. I mean, if you have to do it today, I'm afraid the deal is off. Kit: Okay, well, if I stay, then maybe you can give me a down payment? Just to show me that you really mean business. Henry: Yeah, sure, is cash okay? Kit: Yeah, sure, cash is real good. Henry: Well, then, excellent. All right, we'll get together tomorrow and take care of all the paperwork and seal the deal. Kit: I look forward to it. Henry: Me, too.
Henry: Hey! Katie: Ugh! I cannot stand that woman. She is so hateful. Do you know Carly actually accused me of wanting to help parker so I can be with Jack again? Are you kidding me? Henry: Katie, this is -- Katie: We should have never gotten involved, Henry. We should have never gotten involved. I don't know why I listened to Brad's stupid ideas. Henry: Listen, Katie, hey, hey, hey! I did it. I got kit to stay. Man, am I good or what? Katie: Really? Henry: Yeah, yeah -- Katie: You did it? Oh, my god. Thank you, thank you. You are amazing. Wait until Jack hears the good news. Henry: Well, I thought you might want to tell him yourself. Katie: I think that's a very good idea. Oh, oh, you are so good. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now you, go kiss and make up with Vienna, okay? That's an order. Henry: Yes, ma'am.
Vienna: Henry, I'm glad you came back. Henry: I'm sorry I was so harsh earlier. Vienna: No, I understand. Henry: Did you give back the necklace? Vienna: I did. Henry: Did you tell gray you couldn't accept his offer to take the diner back? Vienna: I did that, too. Henry: Did he try anything? Vienna: Persisted a little bit, but I made it perfectly clear that you're the only one for me. Henry: You're wonderful, you know that? I've made your life so much harder than it was before -- before you met me. You -- you were dipped in diamonds, and you were wined and dined. You had the whole world, and you chose me. I have no idea what I did to deserve you, I don't. You have to know how important you are to me. You have to know that I can't see the world without you in it. Vienna: Oh, Henry, I love you. I love you. Henry: I love you. God, I love you. I love you.
