Friday, June 27, 2008 Today’s episode was directed by Jennifer Pepperman and written by Richard Culliton.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Henry: You know, every time I pour one of these, I just marvel -- marvel at the beauty of it. It's crystalline perfection. It's clarity. Katie: Mmm. Henry: Here. Cheers. Katie: Cheers. Henry: That's right. Savor it! Katie: Mmm. Oh. That's good. So, tell me. Henry: Yeah? Katie: Now that you've taken over for Carly here, do people tell you their problems all the time? Henry: Well, you know, it's been the lot of bartenders since Herodotus. Katie: What? Henry: Spill it, Peretti. Katie: Snyder. Spill what? Henry: Whatever's bothering you. Katie: Nothing. Henry: Oh, come on. It's me, Katie. Katie: Okay, just one little question. Henry: All right. Katie: What does it say when your husband decides to spend the evening with the girl he got pregnant in high school? Mike: It's says your husband is nuts.
Katie: I want you to be happy. Mike: I am happy. Katie: No, I don't mean in that Zen "I never complain, so everything's fine" kind of way. I mean, "like my girlfriend's so hot and thinks I hung the moon" kind of way. Mike: I could live with that. Katie: It'll happen. You're gonna find her. There is a girl out -- well, there's a lot of girls out there who are smarter than me, but -- it'll be the right one. Okay, I have to go check in, see how my new nuclear family dysfunctions tonight. Bye. Thank you. Bye. Mike: Bye. Safe trip home. Henry: Want another beer? Mike: Why not? I got no place to go. Henry: Right. You still have a thing for her, don't you? Mike: No. It's an amicable split. We're still good friends. Henry: Right. And I am iron man.
Henry: So, Carly has been resistant to the idea. Mike: You really want to own a nightclub? It seems like a lot of responsibility. Henry: No, no, no. I think of it more as like a pulpit, you know? I could be a role model for young martini drinkers. It's my way of giving back, Mike. Mike: Ah. Great to see that you found your true calling. Henry: Yeah. Mike: I hate to be the one to break it to you, though. Carly is not known for changing her mind very easily. Henry: I know that. That's why I have to find an ambassador or a negotiator, a closer, if you will. Mike: Yeah? Who? Henry: Drinks are on me tonight, by the way. Mike: No. Henry: Yes, Mike. She'll listen to you. Come on. Mike: No. Well, why do you want to own a club? You already have the diner. Henry: I want it for Vienna. I want her man to be the king of the empire. I guess an empire's situation, it would be an emperor, wouldn't it? But you know what I'm saying. Mike: You're really crazy about her. Henry: Mm-hmm. And lately I've been getting really ambitious. I've actually been looking into the mirror and saying, "who are you?" Mike: That's what the love of a good woman will do. Henry: Yeah, you should try it. Keep looking. Mike: Cardinal rule of being a bartender is just listen. Don't give advice. I'll see what I can do with Carly. Henry: Thank you. A man like that going home alone, what's the world coming to?
