Transcripts from TVMegasite Jack: Thanks for coming. Carly: And Henry, thank you so much for helping keeping Kit in town. She really bought your wealthy club owner act, didn't she? Henry: Yeah, well, wealthy benefactor is the role I was born to play. It's a shame it's not my real life. Enough about Henry, I'm glad I could help. Carly: Well, Henry, Jack and I were sort of wondering if you would be willing to do just one more performance. Jack: Thing is, Henry, just keeping Kit in town one more day isn't going to help clear parker. What we need is for her to confess to killing Sam. Henry: Yeah, I get that, but I don't know how I could help. I mean, I can't exactly make confessing to murder a condition for buying the bar. Jack: No, but you could wear a wire. Henry: Uh, no, no. No, no. No, no, no. Now we're not just talking about a harmless improv here, you're talking about something with a high potential for danger, guys. And you know that danger is not my middle name. If I have a middle name, it's coward. I prefer to stay safely out of harm's way. I'm sorry, no wire. No wire. Carly: Henry. Henry! Please. Please, Henry. For parker. Henry: Appealing to my better instincts, Carly? That's a dirty play, even for you. Jack: We need you, Henry. Henry: Fine. Fine, I know I'm going to regret this, but let's hear it. How is my performance going to work? And please, tell me it doesn't involve inciting a cold-blooded murderer to murder again.
Kit: You are the man! Your lawyers burned through that paperwork so fast. We could close this puppy right now. Just hand me the cash-ola and I'm outta here. Henry: Actually, we've run into a bit of a snag. Your co-owner? Kit: I told you. Carly ain't gonna be no trouble. You just buy my share and you're in charge of the joint. Henry: Yes, you did tell me that. You did not tell me that your partner was Carly Tenney. Kit: So? Henry: So, I know Carly, and I am not going into business with her. Kit: Okay, hold on. Can't we just work something out? Henry: Not with Carly involved. No way.
Henry: Carly and I, we had what you might call a checkered past. And what can I say? She couldn't keep her hands off me. Could not control herself. Always making up excuses to be alone with me and giving me those sexy, come hither stares. She wouldn't stop until she broke up my marriage. Kit: Are you kidding me? Henry: You don't think I'm worth that kind of effort from Carly? Kit: No! What I'm saying is, I know exactly where you're coming from. She did the Same thing to me and my man. Henry: Okay, well then you understand why I cannot go into business with her. She is a liar, she is a user. You cannot trust a word that comes out of her mouth. Kit: Amen to that. Henry: I tell you, I think I'd be afraid to work with her. I mean, she might push me too far, and then what the heck am I supposed to do? It's enough to drive me to kill somebody. Kit: I know exactly how you feel. Henry: Tell me more. Kit: Let me get you a cold one. Then we can figure out what to do about that bitch Carly.
Kit: Here's a beer. Henry: Yeah, that's Carly. She could drive an innocent person to murder. Kit: You can say that again.
Henry: I don't know. What is it about Carly that can drive a rational person to do completely irrational things? Kit: It's the innocent act. Pretending she's all goodie-two-shoes and turning over a new leaf. Meanwhile, she's always looking for a chance to stick a knife in your back. Henry: Yeah, or vice versa. Do you know how many times she's made me so crazy, I was ready to take a knife and go "Sweeney Todd" all over everybody. Kit: I see you. I see you and I raise you. Henry: Yeah, that's right. You mentioned that she tried to split up you and your man the Same way she broke up me and my wife. Kit: Worse. Henry: What could be worse than losing your man? Kit: I loved Sam. Really loved him. We had a good thing going, till Carly up and ruined everything. Henry: You didn't let her get away with it, did you? Come on, not a smart, strong woman like you? Look, share some pointers with me. What did you do to let her have it? Kit: Look, I get it. You and Carly, bad blood. I don't blame you. Fact, I'm not even going to hold you to our deal. I'm just going to give up on trying to unload this damn joint and just get out of town the Same way I got here. Broke and alone.
Carly: She can't go. Jack: Give Henry a second. He's quick on his feet.
Kit: I'm out of here. Henry: Whoa, are you sure? Kit: Ain't no way you can stop me.
Carly: What the hell are we supposed to do now?
Henry: Listen, listen, I'm a fair dealer. I promised you I would buy your share of the club, and I am not welshing. Now, you need the money. Kit: Yeah, sure, I do. But if you're 100% against working with Carly, I got no options. Henry: Let's not be so hasty here. There is a lot of water under my bridge with Carly. Let me open up the ark and send out the dove and get a lay of the land. Kit: Do people usually understand what you're talking about? Henry: Most of the time? Probably not. Let me put it in plain english for you. Let me give her a call and just see if we can't work something out. Kit: Fine. But Carly ain't changed. She's still the Same piece of trash she always was. Henry: Right. But it can't hurt to try. You know what. Ah. This place -- I'm gonna get better reception outside. Be right back
Henry: Wow, that woman really hates you. I'm sorry I couldn't get her to spill what she's planning to do about it. Carly: Oh, Henry, you were so close. She was about to confess, I know it. Henry: I know. The harder I pushed, the more she pushed back. And if it's all the Same to you two, I'd rather not get into a shoving match with a killer. Jack: No, no, no, no, no. You're going back in there. We're getting parker out of this mess today.
Henry: As long as you promise to make like the cavalry and bust in at my first screams of terror, I will give it another shot. However, guys, what am I supposed to tell Kit? Jack: Tell her you talked to Carly and she agreed to give her share of metro to Kit, free and clear. She can sell it and go. Carly: I'd never do that. I'm a liar and a user, remember? Kit'll never buy it. Jack: She will if Henry lays it on thick. Henry: Once more into the breach, I go. Carly: This is going to work, Jack, right? Tell me this is going to work.
Henry: Sorry that took so long. Kit: No worries. I know Carly's a tough nut to crack. Henry: Yeah, tell me about it. Now, don't ask me how I did this, but I think I actually managed to make her feel guilty. About how she treated me or you, I have no idea. But the point is, she has agreed to turn over her share of metro to you free of charge. Kit: Are you yanking my chain? Why the hell would she do that? Henry: Well, she did mention something about owing you big time. Kit: Yeah, that's one way to put it. I wouldn't have done what I did, if it weren't for her. Henry: What did you do exactly? Kit: So she's just going to hand over her half for me to do with as I like? Henry: Yeah, yeah, that's right, and you can sell them both to me, free and clear. Um, the only problem is, I only have enough liquid cash on hand to buy your half. It's going to take me another day to come up with the rest of the cash. Kit: I'll deal. You come up with cash tomorrow for Carly's half, and this joint is yours. Can't wait to see it in my rearview mirror. I wouldn't have done what I did, if it weren't for her. Carly: Will it be enough, Jack? Jack: It's going to have to be.
