Molly Begins to Wake Up (April 24, 2000) Katie: So, did you hear that? Henry: Yes, very touching. "We're all rootin' for ya, Mol!" Katie: We're finished, Henry! We're finished. Henry: Don't be such a drama queen. Katie: Molly was totally onto us for exposing those pictures of her and Chris. Henry: All right, she played that before, and ended up as rip van winkle. Katie: She's going to go straight to Holden. Henry: If she can remember her own name. Katie: Oh, I don't like this. She's going to become everyone's favorite victim now. All these letters and cards that are coming in -- Henry: Katie, as long as she remains the prettiest little doorstop in town, we're fine. Katie: But she swore she'd get revenge. Henry: I swore off chocolate. It didn't work. Katie: Oh, Henry, I'm scared. Henry: Of Molly the mute? Chances are, she doesn't know what planet she's on. Katie: We put those pictures of her and Chris out there. What if she knows more, and she just didn't get a chance to do anything before she fell? Henry: What if little green men landed from Mars? She's coming out of a coma, Katie. She suffered a head injury. Odds are, she's a few cells short of a brain wave. Katie: It's so annoying how calm you are. Henry: Perk up, here come the boss. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Katie (after Henry suggested that she go with Holden to visit Molly): You creep! How could you do that?! Henry: What, force you to show some human compassion? Katie: She is going to accuse me right in front of Holden. Henry: Great, then you'll be there to defend yourself. Katie: Oh, right, and call her a liar? Henry: Whatever it takes, Katie. You know, I was happier with Molly the veggie myself. Katie: Henry, you're sick. Henry: But we're dealing with reality. Katie: She could ruin everything. Henry: Oh, please. Molly -- come here -- Molly is a bump in the road of life. And we will deal with her together -- the way we deal with everything. Katie: What are you doing? Henry: I'm improving the odds. I want Holden to keep his attention where it belongs. Katie: Oh, what is low for you, Henry? Henry: Oh, you don't want to know. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Katie (outside Molly’s hospital room): What are you doing here? Henry: The wait was killing me. How’d it go? Did she wake up? Did she say anything? Katie: She tried. Henry: Tried? Katie: She looked right at me and said, "you." Henry: That's it? "You?" "You" was the extent of her vocabulary? Katie, she can go through all the pronouns, and we'd still be free. This is very good for team Peretti. Katie: Well, we're safe for now. Henry: "You" are right. Katie: She's still out of it. It's creepy. Henry: Well, with any luck, she'll be in la la land for the rest of her poor, pathetic life. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Katie: Deliver the flowers. Henry: You Katie: I already paid my respects. Henry: To the brain-dead. Katie: Just deliver the flowers and let's get out of here. If Holden comes back and the flowers aren't in there, he's gonna get suspicious. Henry: All right. You come with me? Katie: Fine I'll go. Just leave the flowers. Henry: Hello in there. So good luck, Mol. Keep it. Katie: Come on. Henry: Hey, it's been fun. Next time, charades. Katie: Henry! Henry: Lights are on, but nobody's home. Katie: I told you. I feel bad for her. But at least she can't come after us, huh? Henry: Yeah. Yeah,
hey. Let's celebrate, huh? We're in the clear. Molly can't touch us now. Hmm?
