Transcripts from TVMegasite Henry: What does a man have to do to get a martini around here? Carly: Henry! Henry: Carly. Uh, I just want to buy a drink. I don't want any trouble here. Carly: Buy? Oh, no, no. Henry, your money's no good here. Henry: Really? Aha, and you're giving things away for free because? Carly: Because, Henry, you're gonna do me a little favor. Henry: A little -- can I get my drink first, please? Oh, come on.
Henry: All right. Carly: Oh! You look wet. Henry: Really? Well, water does that. [ Henry chuckles ] Carly: Henry. Henry: Oh. Oh. Is there any chance of making this an ongoing arrangement, please? Carly: You know, to be honest with you, I think it would be a lot cheaper for me to actually hire a plumber than to keep you in martinis. Henry: You're probably right on that. [ Henry sighs ] I hate this, I hate this. I hate this scrimping and saving and never having enough to give Vienna what she deserves and always being tied to the diner, which is not a cash cow, let me tell you. Oh, Vienna loves it. Carly: You know, I don't blame her. I know I love running my own place, despite all the hard work and occasional disaster. Henry: Hmm. [ Footsteps approaching ] Carly: Oh, no. Henry: What, did they lower the drinking age? Carly: Hey, what are you doing here? Mrs. Lebo: I'm sorry, Carly, but I won't be able to look after sage tonight. I've got to go to chicago for a family emergency. Carly: Oh, I'm so sorry. Mrs. Lebo: I'm sorry, too, hon. Can you call Jack? Carly: Well, I wish I could, but I can't. No, he's on duty tonight. Mrs. Lebo: Oh, gosh, I hate leaving you in the lurch like this. Carly: It's all right. An emergency is an emergency. I'll figure something out. Mrs. Lebo: Oh, I'm so sorry. Bye, sage. Sage: Bye, Mrs. Lebo. Carly: All right. I hope everything goes okay. Give me a call and let me know. Mrs. Lebo: Will do. Sage: Don't worry, mommy. I can put on an apron and be a waitress. Carly: No, you can't. Sage: I bet I could even get really good tips. Henry: I bet you could put mommy in jail by breaking the child labor laws. Carly: Henry, how would you like another martini? Henry: No, no, no, no. I draw the line at babysitting. No, I did my time with all my sisters braiding my hair. You want to see the bald spot? No, Carly, no, no. Carly: Henry, I just need you to watch metro for a little while, while I look after sage. Please, please. You can have as many martinis as you want, all right? Henry: As many martinis as I want? Carly: Just use the cheap vodka. Henry: Okay.
Henry: And now, what can I get for you, ma'am? Bonnie. How'd you like a glass of arsenic? Bonnie: Henry, I'm not in the mood. Henry: Really? Did the big, bad lawyer have a tough day? Bonnie: Believe it or not, I actually tried to help you. Henry: Yeah, you tried to help me walk away with my tail between my legs. Vienna was right about you. Bonnie: You know what, whatever she told you, she wasted no time telling me the same thing. Henry: Really? I wish I'd been there to see it. Did she call you, like, a lowlife? That's one of her favorites. Bonnie: You know what, forget the drink. Henry: Yeah, keep your head clear. You need to keep it clear to defend Gray Gerard's money against all of his victims. Bonnie: I was taken off of the case, Henry, because of you!
Bonnie: I tried to convince Greenberg to reach some sort of settlement with you, and, the next thing I know, I am being fired. Henry: Guess I owe you an apology. Bonnie: Yeah, I guess you do. But if I had to do it all over again, I would do the exact same thing. Henry: I don't understand. If you think I'm right, then why did you say we couldn't do it? Bonnie: Well, it's because I was representing my client. But now -- Henry: Now? Bonnie: The Gerard estate is no longer my client. Henry: So? Bonnie: So, if you are still interested in that money -- Henry: I thought you said that was impossible. Bonnie: Oh, I did. I did, but that was before Greenberg and associates let me go. They've put themselves on the wrong side of Bonnie McKechnie. That is a very bad place to be.
Bonnie: If you think Gray Gerard was a lowlife, he has nothing on his attorney. Now, I learned some things about how Greenberg does business when I was working with him. Henry: Yeah, like what? Bonnie: Well, I can't really say. I mean -- well, in fact, I don't even know how to use all of this information without being disbarred. It's gonna take some time. Henry: Time, yeah, and time is money where attorneys are concerned. Bonnie: No, no, Henry, but I'm willing to work on contingency here. I mean, if you don't get money from the estate, I don't get paid. Henry: Really? Why would you risk losing your license for us, especially when there's no guaranteed return? Bonnie: Maybe I just want to use my legal powers for some good. Henry: Right. Bonnie: Come on, Henry, are you really in a position to look a gift lawyer in the mouth? Henry: You're right. What do I have to lose, really? This calls for a toast. And, since Carly left me behind the bar -- Bonnie: Oh, foolish woman. Henry: Desperate woman, really. How about a load of metro's finest bubbly? Bonnie: Oh, far be it from me to say no to champagne. Henry: A toast to new partnership. Vienna, hey! Wait until you hear this. Vienna: I've seen enough. I don't need to hear anything. Unless you have a death wish, you better step away from that champagne and far, far away from my Henry.
Henry: Vienna, sweetie, listen, honey, you got this all wrong, all right? She wants to help us. Vienna: Help us? Her? Bonnie: You know what, Henry, forget about it. Forget everything I said. Henry: No, no, Bonnie, please, just five minutes, okay? Just hold on a second, all right? Listen, she is the only one who could help us get our fair share of Gray Gerard's estate. Vienna: That again? I don't want to touch a penny of that evil man's money. I'm perfectly happy with the way things are. Henry: Listen, listen, I want to give you back your dreams. And if I can do that -- if I can give them to you with Gray footing the bill -- isn't that the best possible revenge? Come on.
Henry: Vienna, I stood around and I watched Gray give you all the things that I couldn't afford to give you. And I feel like he is looking up at us now and he is laughing. And all I can hope is that his feet are on fire. Vienna: All the money in the world didn't even make Gray a fraction of the man that you are. But if this -- if this means that much to you, I'll do whatever it takes, even if it means working with that witch. Henry: That's my girl. Okay. Well, all right. Bonnie, Vienna is on board. We are now one big, happy, conspiratorial family. Bonnie: Oh, goodie. Vienna: If you try anything -- Bonnie: What are you gonna do? Get my order wrong? Henry: Okay, meow, meow meow, meow. Ladies, if this is gonna work, we're gonna have to retract the claws, all right? Bonnie: I will if Vienna will. Vienna: I will. For Henry. Henry: Okay. Okay. We're making nice now and make this work, right? Vienna: Of course. Of course. Bonnie: It'll be my pleasure. |
