Tuesday, April 26, 2005 What a heartbreaking show today! Henry tells Katie it's over - he's not going to put himself through the pain anymore knowing that Katie still loves Mike. But Katie is determined to prove that he's wrong.
Henry didn't come home last night, and won't return Katie's phone calls. She's at the gym again, talking to Margo on the phone. "You had a talk with Henry? When? Oh. No, no, I appreciate it. Sisters don't come any better than you. I don't know how much good it did, though, because he didn't come home last night. No, I know. I'll let you know when I hear anything. Thank you. I know, I love you, too. Bye." She dials Henry's number again but only gets his voice mail. "Henry, why won't you answer your stupid phone?" she sighs. She hears a noise coming from the back and calls, "Who is there? We're not even supposed to be open yet." She hears it again and slowly approaches the back. "Hello? I said, who's there? Hello? All right, I'm giving you one last chance to get out here and tell me who you are," threatens Katie. A shadow appears, followed by Henry, dressed only in a towel. Katie gasps and Henry jokes, "I hope that's not a commentary on my bodybuilding." Katie hugs him in relief and cries, "Henry! Oh, I knew you'd come back."
"I called everywhere looking for you. If that was some kind of test to see if I would miss you if you stayed out all night, you were very successful. 'Cause I missed you like crazy. Why aren't you wearing any clothes?" asks Katie. "Ah, I never dress 'til after my morning shower," replies Henry. Katie asks him if he slept at the gym, and Henry answers, "No, but I should have. You know, because despite the soft -- butter-soft Corinthian leather, my seat's about a foot short." "You hate me that much that you'd rather sleep in your limo than in our bed?" asks Katie. "I don't hate you. I'm the opposite of hating you," says Henry. Katie asks him why he didn't come home, and he says he needed time to think. "And did you?" asks Katie. "Incessantly," responds Henry. "Okay, good. Glad you got that out of your system. When are you going to come home?" asks Katie naively. "I'm sorry, Bubbles, I'm not," sighs Henry.
Henry is now dressed. "You know, when you didn't come home last night, a lot of things went through my mind. Do you remember our wedding?" asks Katie softly. "Is that a serious question?" asks Henry. "Because I remember it so clearly, every moment. I remember standing in front of our makeshift altar, saying those wonderful vows and realizing for the first time how very much you love me," says Katie. "Well, it doesn't matter," says Henry. "Yes, yes, yes, it does. I've made so many mistakes in my life, especially with men. And when it's all said and done, you were the one who saved me from making anymore. Not Simon, not Mike. You. You taught me to see beyond what I thought I wanted, to see what was real. What -- what really matters. What's good for me. What lasts a lifetime. And that's you, Henry. It's always been you. I would miss you so much," says Katie. "Do you love me, Katie?" asks Henry. "Isn't that what I've been trying to tell you?" says Katie, exasperated. "No, I -- I think you love how much I love you. 'Cause everything you're saying, how you love to be cherished and safe -- it hits me right here. It does, because I want that, too. I want someone to make me feel the same way," says Henry. "And I can do that. I will. I promise. I know it took me a long time to get to this point, but I'm here now and I am so ready to give you all the wonderful things that you've given me. Please, Henry, just say you'll give us another chance," pleads Katie.
"I'm sorry, Katie, it's too late," sighs Henry, putting on his jacket. "No, no, no, it's not. Henry, just last week you were telling me how you felt like the luckiest, happiest man alive," Katie reminds him. "Well, I was lying to myself," says Henry. "You're just angry right now. You'll get over it," Katie assures him. "No, I don't think I will. Look, all this pretending, it was okay in the beginning, because nothing between us was supposed to be real. We know -- you agreed to marry me to make Mike jealous," says Henry. "Would you forget about Mike?" says Katie impatiently. "How can I forget about Mike? He's between us all the time. He's the reason behind everything that you do and every promise that you make," accuses Henry. "That is not true. Not anymore," insists Katie. "Sweetheart, do you know that I trained myself to look away every time Mike came into a room? Mike would come in, my eyes would go right to the floor. Isn't that pathetic?" says Henry. "Why would you do that?" asks Katie. "Because I didn't want to see the way you looked at him. The way I want you to look at me," admits Henry. "Oh, Henry, I'm so sorry," says Katie, tears in her eyes. "I knew -- I knew even though this whole time you still had feelings for him, it was okay, because my dream was coming true, so I swallowed my pride and I kept looking away," explains Henry. "But I married you, Henry, you," Katie reminds him. "I know. I know, I know. And that's what I said to myself. I said, you know what? She's mine now, in a way. Yeah. I mean, we're under the same roof and we share meals and so hey, if she still looks at her old flame like that? I can take it, okay? And if some self-esteem, some respect gets stuck in my craw, so what? I can choke it get back, it's worth it to have my dream come true," says Henry with a catch in his voice.
"I never knew," says Katie softly. "Because I didn't let you know. Because I knew -- I knew that if Mike were available again, this whole thing would come to a screeching halt. So I made a promise to myself. I said, Henry, listen up here now, if you keep a little bit of your heart back, because if it all does come crashing down, you know, you won't get too hurt. And then..." Henry hesitates. "Then, what?" prompts Katie. "We made love and it was -- it was everything I imagined, sweetheart, and a lot more," says Henry. "You don't think that it meant as much to me as it meant to you? It was beautiful, Henry, and no matter what you say, I know you weren't holding anything back," says Katie. "No, I wasn't. I couldn't. I can't do that anymore," agrees Henry. "Making love with you was like the icing on the cake," smiles Katie. "Yeah, I started to want the cake. Oh, man," sighs Henry. "Hold on. You think that I haven't been afraid of losing you? You think that this marriage isn't something that I want to protect with all my heart? 'Cause it is, Henry. I want it. I want you. What do I have to do to make you see that?" begs Katie. "I don't know. Maybe -- you know, maybe you have to do what you've never been able to do," says Henry, "Look me right in the eye, Katie, and tell me you don't love Mike." "Oh, I'm sorry -- I'm sorry, Henry, I can't do that," sighs Katie.
"Well, I guess I should wish you luck," says Henry, picking up his bag and moving towards the door. "What do you mean?" asks Katie. "Well, your brother busted up the wedding, so Mike's available again, so it's only a matter of time before you two get back together," observes Henry. "Okay, you're right, Mike gets to me. Is that what you want to hear? That every time I see him, a little piece of me wonders, what if?" asks Katie. "That'd be a start," says Henry, slamming down his bag. "All right, I admit it. There are times when I wonder. But those times used to hound me day and night and they don't anymore. In fact, they're so seldom that pretty soon, they're going to disappear. And you know why?" asks Katie. "Because you're in denial, that's why," answers Henry. "No, because every day, I've become more and more sure of my feelings for you. We always say that we're not going to lie to each other, and I'm not going to start now," says Katie. "So you do love Mike?" asks Henry bluntly. "Yes. But I'm sure a piece of me always will, but that doesn't mean that I want to be with him. I don't. What he and I had is completely over, Henry, I want to be with you, in every possible way," Katie assures him. She leans towards him but he pushes her away. "No. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, I can't do -- I can't get sucked back into this again. No," he says determinedly. "What do you want, proof?" asks Katie. "Proof of what's in your heart? Wow, if that were only possible," sighs Henry. "Okay, fine. Fine. You want proof? You will get proof," says Katie. She leaves the gym and Henry and goes to see Mike, to prove to herself and Henry that she's over him for good.
