Transcripts from TVMegasite [Missing scene in which Henry leaves Vienna at Al's to go to Metro. He asks Bonnie to help him "trick" Vienna into agreeing to keep Metro.] Bonnie: Thank you for the drink, Henry, but I will pass on the phony legal work. Henry: Wait. No, hold on one second. Wait. Just hear me out. Just hear me out, please, please. You and I both know that Vienna would love it here. She -- she was born to be the hostess with the mostess. Bonnie: Well, I suppose that beats running a bordello. Henry: Be nice. But speaking of sex on demand, she's been so upset lately that she's been withholding some of my conjugal rights. Bonnie: Well, you're not married, so technically, you have no rights. Henry: Thanks for the unsolicited advice, counsel. Bonnie: Well, it's the last free advice I'm gonna give you. Henry: No, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Please, just one last favor, Bonnie -- one last favor. I have a plan to bring Vienna around, and you are the only person that can make it look legal.
Bonnie: Hello, Vienna. I'm looking for Henry. Vienna: Why am I not surprised? Bonnie: Is he here? Vienna: No, he's not. Bonnie: Do you know where I can find him? Vienna: What do you want? Bonnie: Well, uh, this is for him. It's something really personal and confidential. Vienna: It's okay. You can leave it with me. Bonnie: Mm. That's only if you can promise you won't look at it. Vienna: What do you think I am? Bonnie: Do you really want me to answer that? Vienna: No. [ Bonnie laughs ] Bonnie: So, uh, just give that to Henry. Don't open it. I mean that. Okay? Vienna: Bye, Bonnie. Bonnie: Bye bye. Vienna: Bye. Vienna: Henry and I don't have any secrets. Oh! Henry loves me so much. I love him, too. [ Vienna sighs ]
[ Cell phone rings ] Henry: Hey. Any luck? Bonnie: Yeah. The fish took the bait. Getting her in the net is up to you, Henry. Henry: All right. Don't worry. I know what to do.
Vienna: Oh, Henry, my sweetheart, you are the most perfect man in the entire world. Henry: Well, I've heard rumors to that affect. But, uh, what's up, liebchen? I thought you were mad at me. Vienna: Not anymore, because I just found out that you are planning to sell your shares of metro. Henry: Damn! Now, how did you get that?! We weren't supposed to see that! Vienna: I know. From Bonnie. But forget about her. This is the most important thing. You are actually listening to me and what I want. Henry: It was supposed to be a surprise. Vienna: I know! But let's have some champagne and celebrate. Henry: Okay. Coming right up. You know, I -- I wanted it to be a done deal before you found out. I -- I didn't want you to feel guilty that I was giving up my stake in this club -- a club that I invested in for you, to make you happy. I mean, I didn't want you to, like, get down on yourself just because I was willing to put aside all the dreams I had for our future, you and I. Vienna: Oh. Henry: Yeah. Dreams -- included a very glamorous future and fantastic business opportunity and, uh -- oh, you know, a surefire solution to the dire financial straits we may find ourselves in if the -- if the diner doesn't put us in the black. But who cares? Who cares about all of that? This is what you want. And I want you to be happy. So I'll just go ahead and sign those papers and, uh -- and we can just kiss it all goodbye. Vienna: Yes! Let's kiss it all goodbye. Goodbye and good riddance. I don't need all those things, because I have the very best thing -- you, Henry. [ Henry sighs ]
Vienna: What are you waiting for, Henry? Henry: Um, olives. Got to have some olives. Vienna: No, I mean the papers. Why aren't you signing it? If -- if you want to sell your share back to carly, you might -- you may as well just get on with it. Henry: Yeah, yeah. But you know what? If, um -- if I sign them before I finish this drink, then I'd have to pay for it. Vienna: Don't be silly. Henry: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. With our new downsized lifestyle, we've got to be cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap. Vienna: Yes, but we're happy. And you -- you are about to get a lot happier. Henry: Oh, yeah. Debtor's prison. Oh, what joy. Vienna: No. I mean when I take you home and ravish over and over again and then make you beg for more. Hmm? Henry: Yeah, that could -- that could make me happier. Vienna: Yeah? Henry: I think you're right. Hey, uh, Bobbie, will you cover for me, please? And if, uh -- if Carly calls, tell her, uh -- I got it. Tell him I'm indisposed. Vienna: He means forever. [ Vienna laughs ]
Henry: Oh, oh! Vienna: Oh! Henry: Oh! Wow! Look! We have ignition! We have lift-off! Watch it. Watch it. Oh! Vienna: You are sending me to the stars every time. We don't need a club to put us in orbit. Henry: You're totally right. [ Vienna laughs ] But, uh -- but we really should talk, I think. Vienna: Yes. Henry: Yes. Vienna: We should. Henry: Yes. Vienna: Me first, my darling Henry. Henry: Mm-hmm. Mm! Vienna: You're -- you're finally listening to me. You gave me exactly what I wanted. Mm! Henry: Well, I, uh -- it's very tricky. I almost lost my balance in there. But once I hit my stride, it was pretty much heaven, don't you think? Vienna: No. I'm not talking about your technique, silly. I'm talking about how you finally understand me and you -- you're realizing that I don't need a glamorous lifestyle anymore. We are -- we might be poor, but we are rich in all the ways that count, right? Henry: Right. Right. You're all that I'll ever need. Vienna: Make love to me again. Henry: Hmm? Vienna: Unless you still want to talk. Henry: No. I don't -- I don't need us to talk when I can practice not losing my balance again. [ Both laughing ]
Vienna: Mm! Henry: I got to go. Bonnie: From the looks of that kiss, your plan actually worked, huh? Henry: No. Actually, I'm afraid it backfired. Bonnie: What? What, are you kidding? Henry: No, no, no, no. She decided to stick with al's and, uh, have a life of poverty, peddling pepparkakor. Say that five times fast. Bonnie: How could you let this happen, Henry? Henry: I thought that -- I thought that by pretending to give her what she wanted that she would see the other side. And, unfortunately, she did not bite. Bonnie: So what, are you gonna give up now? Henry: No. I can't do that. There has got to be another way.
