Wednesday, April 22, 2009 Katie interviews a psychic at WOAK who specializes in babies. She decides to introduce her to Henry and Vienna to see if there's anything she can find out about the baby. Everyone can see that the psychic knows something is off, but she doesn't tell them what she's thinking - that Henry is the father, not Brad. Katie is concerned about the health of the baby so she asks Vienna to take a genetic test with Brad to see if there's anything that could go wrong. Henry convinces Vienna it's for the best if Katie and Brad find out the truth from a doctor, instead of from their best friends who have been lying to them. Today’s episode was directed by Christopher Goutman and written by Susan Dansby.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Vienna: Look at the colors for summer. Lisa: Yeah. Vienna: Aren't they beautiful, honey? Henry: Sure they are. Well, I'm gonna head over to metro, get some -- Vienna: No, no, no! You can't leave! No. I need your expert opinion. Henry: Ah -- baby decisions are not my territory. That's for you, brad, and katie. Vienna: Oh, come on. Just one outfit, please? Please. Henry: Okay. Lisa: Henry, my dear, you are a very noble young man to allow your beloved to carry a baby for someone else. Henry: Yeah, well, you're telling me. I went from hot and sexy to -- [Groans] Lisa: Oh, come on! Be brave. [Laughs] Henry: Hmm. Vienna: So -- what do you think? Henry: Well, that's -- wow. I never thought I'd say this, but, um -- Vienna: What, you hate it? Henry: Hate it? No, I -- I love it. You never looked more beautiful in your life.
Vienna: Ah! Henry: I can't keep my hands off of you. What's happening? [Laughs] Vienna: Lust. Lisa: No, don't be silly. Look where his hand is. No, if a man has lust on his mind, believe me, he would be groping other places. [Laughter] Yeah, so this is definitely love. Henry: Yeah, yeah. That's got to be it. Yeah. Lisa: Well, obviously, the outfit is -- it's a winner. So would you like -- how about another? Vienna: Yes, yes, yes. Lisa: Okay, okay, good. Vienna: Another. Lisa: Yes, all right. Vienna: Come with me? Henry: Uh, yeah. Can I? Lisa: Sure. Why not? Henry: Drop it! Vienna: Oh! Henry: You're so sexy pregnant! I'm so turned on! Vienna: Me too! You're wonderful! Lisa: Uh, how's it going in there? You need another size? Vienna: No, no, the size is perfect. Henry: We're doing great! Vienna: Oh! Lisa: Carry on.
[Vienna moaning] [Cell phone rings] Vienna: The phone's ringing. Answer before lisa comes back to see what's going on. Henry: Yeah? Brad: Where are you guys? Henry: We're in the middle of something really important here. Brad: You said you were gonna be at metro tonight. Henry: Yeah, we are. We're coming as soon as we can. Vienna: Mm!
Lisa: Henry, my dear, are you all right? You seem a little warm. Henry: Everything's great, lisa. Thanks. [Laughs] Lisa: There she comes. Both of you look a little overheated. Oh, dear, maybe I should go and then kind of turn down the heat, huh? Vienna: No, no. No, don't -- don't do a thing. We adore your dressing room. Henry: Yes. Lisa: That's good. Oops! [Laughter] Yes, well, do come again. Henry: We will.
Katie: Maybe you should call him again. Brad: Just relax. I'm sure they'll be here any minute, walking through that door. Myra: Think they just did. Katie: Hi! Myra: Well, I don't need to be a psychic to see that you're the surrogate mother. Yes, now I'm feeling it. You're the -- I'm so sorry. We haven't even been introduced. Katie: Oh, myra, this is vienna, and henry is her partner. Vienna: In all ways. Myra: It's nice to meet you. I'm sorry. I really can't stay. Katie: What's wrong? Myra: I, um -- you know, a couple of sips of wine, and the jet lag just kicked in. Katie: Well, you were feeling fine before henry and vienna showed up. You sensed something, didn't you? Myra: Not necessarily. Henry: What's going on? Katie: Don't you have some sort of hippocratic oath against hit-and-run esp? Myra: If I wasn't so tired -- Katie: You can't feel something about our baby and then just run off before telling us what it is.
Katie: Is there something wrong with the baby? Vienna: No, of course not. Why are you asking her that? Katie: Because she knows something that she's not telling us. What is it? Henry: Katie -- katie, you're upsetting vienna, all right? Vienna: No. Why would she know anything about the baby? Brad: She's a psychic. Katie: Don't say it like it's nothing. She specializes in predicting things about unborn babies. Myra: But I'm not a doctor, and if -- if vienna is going to an O.B. Regularly and she's been told all is well, then I'm sure it is. Katie: So you can't see anything? Myra: It's difficult. Katie: Well, we'll try another way. Henry: Why -- why are we trying this at all? Katie: I read in your book that if the auras aren't clear, you can do a tarot card reading. Myra: Cards can be useful. Katie: Well, let's do that then. Can you do a reading? Vienna: No, no. I don't want to. Katie: Why not? Henry: Because it's -- it's a gimmick. It's a trick. Why waste our time? Katie: Because I don't feel like it's wasting time to find out things about the baby that I'm gonna raise and live with for the next 18 years. Brad: Or longer. And if it's a girl, I'm not gonna let her get married till she's at what, at least 30? Katie: Will you please just humor me? If you don't believe in it, then what's the harm? Henry: I -- I don't think it's a good idea. That's all. Brad: Okay, can we all just -- can we all just kind of please go along with this? I know my wife, when she's got a bug up her -- I mean -- I mean once katie is concerned, you know, it's -- can we just help her to feel better, please? Let's play some cards. Henry: Sure. Katie: Okay. Here. Brad, come sit next to me.
Henry: Well, it was nice meeting you, myra. Katie: Well, wait. She didn't even tell us anything about the baby yet. You could have waited before you scooped up the cards like that. Henry: You're right. I'm sorry. Did you have anything else you wanted to add? Myra: Just that I don't really know anything you don't know yourselves. Henry: Well, look at the time. Uh, vienna and I have to get back to al'S. Sorry. Brad: I thought you were working here tonight. Vienna: Well, we were, but, um -- Henry: They were shorthanded tonight. They actually called us on the way over here and we forgot about it with all the -- the fun and games. So, uh, we got to go. We'll -- we'll see you guys. Okay? Vienna: Yeah. Uh, nice meeting you. Katie: Wait. Do you have anything else you want to tell me? Myra: Yes, I do. Brad: What is it? Myra: As much as I believe in my psychic abilities, there's no replacement for doing what your own instincts tell you. Trust your instincts, katie. Brad: My instincts are telling me that we should go home and be lovers. Katie: And my instincts are saying that something's wrong.
Myra: Hello again. Vienna: Myra -- Henry: Uh, um -- excuse me. Welcome to al'S. Can I get you a menu? Myra: I'm not staying. I've already seen everything I need to see. Henry: Is that a fact? Myra: Sometimes the cards tell me more than I want to know and I choose to be discreet. Henry: We appreciate that. Myra: You're good people, and you have nothing to fear from me, but I do feel compelled to remind you that no matter how careful you are, secrets have a way of revealing themselves. By the way, henry, your fool card was inverted. Vienna: What does that mean? Myra: A new start, and regrets if you don't embrace it. Vienna: You're not a fool. She is. She's the fool. And she's wrong -- wrong, wrong, wrong. Henry: No, vienna, she's not. She's not.
Henry: You heard the psychic. Big secrets like this have a way of coming out. Vienna: You don't believe in psychics! Henry: I know, but it makes common sense, right? We've got to tell brad and katie the truth before they find out some other way. Vienna: No, no, no. We can't do that. They'll be devastated. Henry: It's a lie, vienna! I -- I'm the baby's father, not brad! Vienna: No, but it -- it doesn't matter! We promised them a baby -- this -- this baby! We -- we can't change our minds! Katie: Hi. Henry: Hey, hey, guys. Katie: You're upset. Vienna: No, no. It's hormones. Henry: Yeah. We talk about changing the napkins, and she bursts into tears. Vienna: Yeah, I'm fine. Katie: Okay, good, 'cause we have something to ask you. Henry: Is this about myra? Katie: Yeah, I'm sorry that i had her do that reading. Henry: Yeah. That was kind of a bust, wasn't it? Vienna: Nothing of what she said means anything. Katie: In my head I know that, but in my heart, I'm worried, so would you do us a favor? Vienna: Of course. Anything for you. We love you, and this is your baby. Brad: See? I told you that she'd be cool with it. Katie: Good, 'cause brad and I were just wondering if you would take a genetic test, just so that we can make sure that everything's okay. Brad: I mean, just to find out if, you know, there's anything in either one of our families that we need to be concerned about. Although I'm sure that there isn'T. Henry: That is a good idea. Vienna: Out of the question.
Katie: We really thought you'd be okay with this. Brad: It's just a few tests. Vienna: Yeah, but -- but these tests -- won't they hurt the baby? Katie: No, no! We would never endanger the baby. Brad: Yeah. Nothing's gonna happen to our kid. Katie: But this way, we'll know everything we need to know. Vienna: No, no. I don't want to do it. Henry: Hey, hey, brad and katie -- it's their baby. If they want to do this, who are we to say no? [Clears throat] Vienna: Okay. If the doctor says it's fine and it's safe, I'll take the tests. Katie: Oh, great. Thank you so much. Okay, we'll see you at home. Henry: Okay. All right. Vienna: Why did you force me to agree to take those tests? Henry: This is the perfect solution to our problem. Vienna: They're gonna find out that you are the father. Henry: Yeah, maybe, but if they do, they'll find out from a doctor and not from us! Vienna: And how is that gonna help? Henry: Because -- because we -- we can act just as surprised at the news as they are! We don't have to tell them we've been keeping the secret for weeks. Vienna: Yeah, but they'll still be devastated, and they're gonna feel that they've lost another baby! Henry: But we're not the ones that have to tell them. Sweetie, trust me. Trust me, this is the better way. |
