Thursday, April 3, 2008 Brad confesses to Henry and Vienna that he proposed to Katie. They disagree on the strategy to win her over - Vienna suggests a grand gesture is in order, while Henry insists Brad should lay low and let Katie come to him. Brad decides to follow Vienna's advice, so Henry and Vienna make a little wager about whether or not Katie will accept Brad's proposal. Today’s episode was directed by Sonia Blangiardo. No writer listed due to writer's strike.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Brad: Okay, so the bike goes in the lake. It lands a few feet from the shore. I'm sitting down with water up to my neck, I mean, how deep can a lake be, right? But you know me, I yell help to Katie and tell her I can't swim. She buys it, thinks I'm drowning! She jumps in. Boom, that does it. It proves she cares. So I get out, I'm soaking wet, I'm telling her I didn't even have to think twice. Suddenly, I'm down on one knee. And you know -- I'm a cold, wet, slimy mess. And I ask her to marry me. Vienna: Again? Brad: Again, again. But the really amazing thing is that she didn't say no. Vienna: Really? Brad: She actually said she'd think about it. And she sounded -- she sounded serious. Vienna: Oh my god, this is fabulous news! This is amazing! Good work, Brad. Good work. Well, your next move -- you have to make a grand gesture. Brad: Falling in the lake wasn't enough? Vienna: No, you have to do something really spectacular to seal the deal. Henry: No. That would be the worst thing that you could do.
Henry: Brad, don't go overboard with Katie. That will just backfire, all right? You proposed. You made your case. She said that she would think about it. So give her a little space. Let her come to you. Brad: Wow. We are back at square one. You're giving me advice on my love life -- again. Henry: Who knows better about Katie than I do? I mean, I was married to her. And I lost her. So I know what not to do. Vienna: I'm sorry, Henry, but I disagree. Henry: Look, if you push too much here, she's going to run away from you so fast it will make your head spin and heart sink lower than you ever thought possible. Vienna: He has no idea what he's talking about. Henry: Look, okay, my best advice? Let Katie make her own decision in her own time. Be patient, Brad. She will appreciate that. Vienna: And Katie will also appreciate a truly stunning expression of your love for her. Brad: Okay, if that is the case, then what do I do to win Katie over and make her say yes?
Vienna: If you really wants to win Katie over, you got to make a big, grand romantic statement. Not sugary and sweet. But something powerful and exciting. Like a beautiful piece of vintage jewelry. Or maybe an extravagant trip? Brad: Vienna, come on. I've done all of that. I mean, I even bought the woman a brand-new house! Henry: Oh my goodness. Talk about overkill. No wonder you keep striking out with her. Brad, you're pushing too hard. You need to be laid back for a little bit. Vienna: No, no, no, no, no. You have to do something you have not done before. Brad: That's it. That's it. You're right. I have to do something completely different. I have to do something that'll convince Katie to say she'll marry me. Henry: Okay. Vienna: There, you see, all he needed was a little bit of encouragement. He will win Katie over. Henry: Yeah, either that or he'll hit the wall, and it won't be pretty.
Vienna: Once Brad surprises Katie with a reason to say yes, she will be swept off her feet. Katie will accept his proposal. Henry: Yeah, I'm not so sure. Actually, I am quite sure. I am so sure that I will wager 1,000 bucks that Katie will not say yes to Brad. Vienna: How can you say that? First of all, why are you so dead set against the happy ending between Brad and Katie? Henry: I don't know. I just don't see it happening. I'll up the wager -- $2,000. Vienna: That's my second point. I thought your gambling days were over. Henry: Oh baby, they are. Oh gambling -- yes, those days -- those days are gone. So let's find out something else -- a better wage. I've got a great idea. How about we wager a marathon session in the sack? If I win, we do everything that I want to do. If you win, we do everything that you want to do. How does that sound? How does that sound? Vienna: Perfect. Because no matter what happens, we both win!
Vienna: Oh! Henry: Oh, god. Vienna: Oh, darling. Henry: Yeah, yeah. Vienna: Making love with you is always amazing. But this -- this was beyond. Henry: It was beyond amazing. I agree with you in spades. And diamonds and clubs and lucky charms and -- and you know what? You know what? Vienna: What? Henry: We never found out the result of our bet. We don't know if Katie accepted Brad's proposal or not. [ Vienna laughs ] Vienna: Who cares?
