Transcripts from TVMegasite Vienna: Henry? Henry: Hey, hey, Vienna. Vienna: Hi. Henry: You were so still, I thought you were asleep. Vienna: What time is it? Henry: It is 4:00 in the afternoon. Vienna: It's so late. Henry: How do you feel? Do you want to get up? Vienna: No, no. Henry: Do you need, like, a pillow or anything? Do you hurt anymore? Vienna: Just my heart. Henry: My sweet baby. Vienna: There are no pills for losing a baby, are there? Henry: No. Maybe we could -- let's distract ourselves. Vienna: Distract ourselves. Henry: Yes. Let's put on some clothes, go out, and have just a great dinner. Have some champagne. Vienna: Henry, thank you for trying, but I'm sorry. It's just too soon for me. What's that? Henry: You don't need to think about that. I'll tell you about it later. Vienna: No. I want to know. Henry: While you were sleeping, I got the baby's things together, and I'm going to take them over to the hospital for the pediatrics department. Vienna: You're getting rid of them? Henry: Well, we don't need to live with these painful reminders, do we? I mean, got to get on with life. Vienna: I suppose. Henry: Hey, we were perfectly happy before you got pregnant, and there's no reason we can't be again. Vienna: Convince me. [Vienna laughs] I guess you missed one.
Henry: Well, it's official. I'm as depressed as you are. Vienna: That's a relief. Henry: It's a relief? Vienna: When I saw you packed everything up, I felt like you couldn't wait to forget. Henry: No. I just thought if I -- I thought if I acted okay, I'd be okay. Vienna: Doesn't always work like that. Henry: No. There's not really an alternative, is there? Vienna: Well, we'll give ourselves some time, and then, little by little, we'll find a way to deal with what happened. Henry: You want to talk about it? Vienna: Oh, Henry. Henry: I don't understand what's the matter with me. Before, I couldn't live with a baby, and now I can't live without one. I never met Sven or Ingra. I don't know why I should be so concerned about this bundle that I've never held in my hands. Vienna: I don't know, but we just do. Why don't we just hold each other and keep talking for a while? Henry: I need to get these out of here so I can think. I'll be back soon.
Henry: Hey. Brad: Hey. Henry: I'm looking for Kim. Brad: She's on location, shooting a remote. Why do you need kim? Henry: I want to give her a heads-up. Brad: About? Henry: I plan on suing the station for what happened to Vienna. Brad: That's crazy. Henry: While I'm at it, I'm gonna sue Katie, as well.
Henry: Something precious was taken from Vienna and me, and that needs to be acknowledged. Brad: It has been. Katie and I, we feel horrible about what happened. I mean, our hearts go out to yoU. Henry: That's supposed to make it better? Brad: No. No, Henry. But, you know, the baby that Vienna was carrying around, we thought that that was our baby. Henry: Yeah, I know. And when you found out that wasn't the case, you almost took my head off. Brad: I know. I did. I'm sorry. I freaked out. I was angry that Katie was hurting. Henry: She wasn't just hurting, Brad. She was furious and jealous, and that's when Vienna fell, and that's when we lost the baby, and somebody has to pay for that. Brad: You're an idiot. You know that? Henry: Why? Why, because I want to hold Katie accountable? Is that why? Brad: Because you think that when we found out that baby wasn't ours, our feelings just got cut off and we stopped caring. We love that baby, too, and you want Katie to pay, she's paying every minute of every day. A child that she thought was hers died. If you don't think that she cares about it, then shame on you for ever calling yourself her friend.
Henry: I got your message. Vienna: I'm glad you came. Henry: I'm not sure what we're doing here. Vienna: First, we give a wish. This is for all the hugs and the kisses I wish I could have given you. Henry: This is for everything I wanted to teach you. Good things. Vienna: And then we give a thank you. Thank you for letting me be your mother for a little while. I will love you my whole life. Henry: Thank you for asking me to be your dad. I wish I'd been better at it. Katie: Hey. Vienna: Katie. Katie: I'm sorry. I saw you with the flowers. I didn't want to interrupt. Henry: What are you doing here? Vienna: This was Katie's idea. Henry: What's with the balloons? You think this is a party or something? Vienna: Henry. Katie: They're supposed to -- they represent the baby's spirit. Vienna: And we're supposed to release them into the air. Henry: I don't want anything -- I don't want anything from you. If I'd known this was your idea, I never would have showed up here.
Katie: I was honestly just trying to help. Vienna: And it did help us, Katie. Katie: I want you to both know how sorry I am. Henry: What do you expect me to say to that? Vienna: That you forgive her. It wasn't that long ago since you and I asked Katie and Brad for forgiveness. Henry: Yeah, and they didn't give it to us. Katie: And I was wrong. I was just hurt. I was too hurt to realize that we are friends -- best friends. Henry: Not anymore. Vienna: How can you say that? Katie: It's okay. It's okay, Vienna. I understand. I've been there. Here. Say good-bye to the baby for me. Vienna: How can you blame Katie and not me? Henry: It's not your fault. Vienna: She didn't trip me. I fell. It's not her fault. It was my fault. It was an accident. It happened. You said it yourself, we have to let it go. Henry: That doesn't mean I can do that. Vienna: Let it go, Henry. Let go of the pain and the sorrow. That's not how we want to remember our baby, okay? You remember all our dreams and our hopes? Think about how happy we were and let the rest go with love. Henry: I can't do this alone. Vienna: Okay.
Vienna: I feel a little better now. Don't you? Henry: No, not really. Vienna: Yeah, but do you know why you don't feel better? Because you've lost enough without even losing your best friend. Henry: Well, I'm sorry. I just -- every time I see Katie and Brad, I just think about the child that we're not gonna have. Vienna: Not necessarily. Henry: What do you mean? Vienna: I know this is too soon to even talk about, but we got pregnant very easily. We can do it again. Henry: No, no. Vienna: I thought you wanted a baby, that you were not afraid anymore. Henry: No. I didn't want to have a child before because I thought it would be a big hassle that I couldn't deal with, but I figured out the untold truth. Vienna: Children are a blessing? Henry: That having a child is to live in fear, and to lose a child is to live in pain, and that I'm -- I'm too much of a coward to do that. I'm sorry. No more kids. I'm sorry, Vienna. I can't. |
