Henry: Well, you should have seen their faces. Not many $10,000 checks walking in off the street these days.

Vienna: Well, at least that fund will help adopted children.

Henry: Yeah. It's not the child that we really wanted to help.

Vienna: No, but it's a nice way to remember.

Henry: I guess so.

Vienna: So, can we go back to being friends with Katie and Brad now?

Henry: I don't think I'm ready for that.

 

Vienna: They've been through so much disappointment. It was our fault.

Henry: Not really.

Vienna: But we knew for weeks that I'd lost Brad's baby and I was pregnant with yours. We should have told them.

Henry: Well, we didn't want to upset them.

Vienna: I know, but we shouldn't have kept it a secret.

Henry: Well, now our baby's gone, too, so we're even.

Vienna: Even?

Henry: I know. It's a terrible thing to say. But it's -- it's easier for me to live with what's happened if they're childless and miserable, too.

Vienna: No, no. That's a horrible thing to say.

Henry: Well, I'm a horrible person.

[Cell phone ringing]

[Vienna sighs]

Vienna: Hello.

Katie: Are you alone?

Vienna: Are you all right?

[Voice breaking]

Katie: Can you meet me?

Vienna: N -- now.

Katie: Vienna, my life is over.

Vienna: Okay, okay. I'm coming.

Katie: I'll be at java.

Vienna: Okay. Bye.

Henry: Who was that?

Vienna: Katie. She's sick. She -- she needs a bowl of my Swedish chicken soup. She's still my friend, no matter how you feel about her, okay?

Henry: Tell her I, uh, hope she feels better.

Vienna: I will.

 

Henry: Oh, my god. You're leaving me. Vienna, look, is this about the terrible things I said about Brad and Katie. I -- I'm so -- I take all that back. And I will go to them, and I will apologize. I will beg for their forgiveness. I'll do anything you want! Just don't leave me! Please don't leave me!

Vienna: I'm not leaving you, Henry! Katie is leaving Brad, and I'm going with her.

Henry: What? Why?

Vienna: Because she found out that he's cheating on her.

Henry: Brad? I don't believe you.

Vienna: No, it's true, because I saw him. I saw him kiss the girl, and he gave her a bracelet.

Henry: What girl?

Vienna: I don't know who she is, but she's young enough to be his daughter.

Henry: How could he do this to Katie?

Vienna: I don't know, but we have to be there for her right now, because we are all that she has left.

 

Brad: [Doorbell rings] Katie -- hey, Henry, you know where Katie is?

Henry: Gone.

Brad: What the hell was that for?

Henry: I knew you didn't deserve her, that -- that you're not good enough to breathe her air.

Brad: What are you talking about?

Henry: How could you do this, Brad?!

Brad: Do what?

Henry: Would you stop it with the pathetic lying and just admit it like a man?!

Brad: Admit what?

Henry: Brad, you know, you don't have to play dumb. It comes to you naturally!

Brad: You know, Henry, you're really starting to push me!

Henry: Are you playing the victim now?!

Brad: Vic -- what are you? What are you talking about? I come home. I find this crazy note from Katie. And then I open the door and you're there, and you hit me. And now you're acting like a lunatic. What is going on?!

Henry: The game is up, dude, okay? Vienna saw you with your -- your squeeze, kissing her and giving her presents in our diner!

[Brad sighs]

Brad: Gina, Gina.

Henry: Is that her name -- Gina?

Brad: Where is Katie?

Henry: She, uh, went to greener pastures, dude, and more power to her.

Brad: Will you shut up? Just shut up for a second! She's not my girlfriend, man. She's pregnant. She's giving her baby up for adoption.

Henry: She's pregnant?

Brad: Yeah. She -- she didn't want to give her baby to anyone that she didn't feel comfortable with, so I was meeting with her so we can get to know each other. And I gave her the bracelet. That was kind of a token of friendship. I was being nice.

Henry: Why didn't you tell Katie this?

Brad: Because I didn't want her to get her hopes up until Gina made her decision. I'm not having an affair. I was trying to convince her to give us her baby. That's all.

Henry: Oh.

 

Vienna: Hello.

Henry: Are you with Katie?

Vienna: Are you with Brad?

Henry: Yes. Where are you? She hung up on me.

Brad: Where are they?

Henry: I don't know. She didn't tell me.

Brad: Call them back. Call her back. It is a matter of life or death.

[Cell phone rings]

Vienna: No, Henry.

Henry: Don't hang up. This is a matter of life or death.

Vienna: I don't care what lies he's told you. I'm not gonna tell you where we are.

Henry: Listen to me. Katie's got it all wrong. She's making a big mistake here.

Vienna: Why should I believe you?

Henry: What reason do I have to lie?! Vienna, please!

Vienna: We're in old town.

Henry: Keep her there. Let's go.

Brad: I owe you my life.

Henry: Yes. We'll get to that later.

 

Brad: Thank goodness you're still here.

Katie: You told them?

Vienna: I had to.

Katie: You stabbed me in the back, just like he did!

Brad: I didn't -- I did not do anything.

Katie: Don't you talk to me.

Brad: Look, this is not what you think it is.

Katie: Really?

Katie: I know all about hot little Gina and kissing and --

Brad: She's pregnant.

Katie: Oh, god. Kill me now.

Brad: No, no. Not that.

Katie: So you wanted someone young and fertile to carry on your name?

Henry: Katie, Brad is not the father.

Brad: Not yet.

Katie: So you want to divorce me so you can marry her. Is that it?

Brad: Katie, Katie, she wants to give her baby up for adoption, okay? But she wants to choose the parent. She's very particular. I was trying to get her to choose us.

Katie: You're lying.

Brad: I -- I swear. Okay, you know what? Why don't you ask her yourself, okay? I'll call her right now.

Katie: Why didn't you tell me?!

Brad: Because I -- because I wanted to make sure that you were gonna have a baby this time.

Vienna: Tell him. Tell him.

Brad: Tell me what?

Katie: We are gonna have a baby, Brad. I'm pregnant. There are things going on

Both: You're pregnant?

Brad: The doctor said it was impossible.

Katie: Yeah. He was pretty surprised.

Brad: You saw him?

Katie: Yeah. He said it's practically a miracle, but it's real, Brad. It's real.

Brad: Why didn't you tell me?!

Katie: For the same reason you didn't tell me. I wanted to be sure.

Brad: Well, I mean, I can't believe it. You were gonna walk out on me?!

Katie: I thought you were cheating on me.

Brad: I would never do that. I love you so much.

Katie: I love you, too.

Henry: Is that why you wanted to go with her? You knew she was pregnant?

Vienna: Yeah. I couldn't tell you.

Katie: I swore her to secrecy. I didn't want Brad to know.

Brad: So we're gonna have a baby?

Katie: Yeah. We really are.

 

Henry: Well, I am glad you are not going.

Vienna: So am I. Are you all right?

Henry: Yeah. Why shouldn't I be?

Vienna: What you said before -- that you were glad Katie and Brad weren't having a baby. Did you mean that?

Henry: Since when do I mean what I say?

Vienna: Are you sure?

Henry: I couldn't be happier for them.

Vienna: Too bad she didn't get pregnant when she tried. It would have saved us all so much heartache.

Henry: For them. Not for us.
