Thursday, October 7, 2004 First strip poker, and now skinny dipping. What will Henry get himself into (or out of) next? Henry and Nikki are drinking martinis at the Lakeview. "Where do you put it all?" asks Nikki. "It's my hollow leg. My keg leg. Hey, you're no slouch in the martini-draining department yourself there," he says. "I have an amazing tolerance for alcohol," says Nikki. "You got an amazing couple of things there," observes Henry. A waiter comes by with more drinks. Henry tries to entertain Nikki by throwing an olive in the air and catching it in his mouth. He misses several times until he finally catches one, laughing. Suddenly the laughter turns to choking. "Are you okay?" asks Nikki. Jordan comes up behind Henry and successfully performs the Heimlich maneuver on him. "Wait 'til you see what I do for an encore," jokes Henry. "So, how long has this little party been going on?" asks Jordan. "Long enough for Henry not to feel a thing," says Nikki. "No pain, no gain," says Henry. Nikki is concerned they're starting to attract attention. "Starting? Nikki, the maitre'd is taking bets on who's going to pass out first," says Jordan. Nikki assures him Henry will be fine as soon as he gets some fresh air. "Okay, how are you planning on getting this six-foot windbag out of here all by yourself?" challenges Jordan. " 6'2 1/2", macho man," Henry corrects him. "The kindness of strangers," hints Nikki. "Okay,. Come on, big guy, let's go," says Jordan, helping Henry to his feet. "She loves me, she loves me some more," mumbles Henry. Nikki asks where they're taking him. "As far away from a bottle of gin as we can get him," says Jordan. "No karaoke," says Henry. Out at the new favorite town hangout, the Snyder Pond, Henry leans on a rock and says, "Stay still, will you? I -- I've got a date to impress." While Henry recovers, Nikki and Jordan talk about Jen and how to get her to forgive Jordan. They're interrupted by Henry singing. "Well, it looks like our party animal is trying to bust loose," says Jordan, going over to him. "Come on, partner. Let's take a little walk here, okay? Come on. Now breathe," he says, leading him into the woods. Jordan comes back to the pond and reports that Henry is asleep in the car. They continue their conversation, and Nikki says she called Jen and asked her to join them at the pond. Soon they hear a car honking. "Sounds like Henry's risen from the martini dead," observes Nikki. "Hey, Henry! We're over here, buddy! Last one in's a rotten egg!" calls Jordan, splashing in the pond. Nikki calls Jen again and hears Mike in the background. Upset, she hangs up and tells Jordan they're leaving. Suddenly a naked Henry streaks through and jumps into the pond yelling, "Geronimo!" Realizing he's the only one in the water, he gets out and covers himself with some branches. "To think I had you pegged for a gentleman. Have you had your quota of fun for the night or is there an encore?" huffs Henry. "Henry, how was I supposed to know that you'd believe that we were skinny dipping in October?" asks Jordan. "A beautiful woman, two able-bodied men, a little splash, splash. Do the math, Sinclair," says Henry as he walks back to the car. While he's gone Nikki explains to Jordan why she's upset. Henry runs back to the pond yelling, "Stop! Stop them!" "Stop who?" asks Jordan. "The thieves who stole my clothes," says Henry. Today’s episode was directed by Maria Wagner and written by Judy Tate.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Nikki: Where do you put it all? Henry: It's my hollow leg. My keg leg. Hey, you're no slouch in the martini-draining department yourself there. Nikki: I have an amazing tolerance for alcohol. Henry: You got an amazing couple of things there. Yeah, sure -- observe the following, hmm? Wait, I got it, I got it, I got it -- I can do this. Don't let him see. Hold on. [ Nikki laugh ] Hold on, hold on. Don't laugh at me. Wait a second. Nikki: Okay. That's nice. [ Henry chocking ] Are you okay? Henry: Wait 'til you see what I do for an encore.
Jordan: So, how long has this little party been going on? Nikki: Long enough for Henry not to feel a thing. Henry: No pain, no gain. Nikki: I think we're starting to attract a little attention. Jordan: Starting? Nikki, the maitre'd is taking bets on who's going to pass out first. Guys -- Nikki: Henry will be fine once we get him outside for some fresh air. Jordan: Okay, how are you planning on getting this six-foot windbag out of here all by yourself? Henry: 6'2 1/2", macho man. Nikki: The kindness of strangers. Jordan: Okay,. Come on, big guy, let's go. Henry: She loves me -- Jordan: Upsy-daisy. Henry: She loves me some more. Nikki: Where are we taking him? Jordan: As far away from a bottle of gin as we can get him. Henry: No karaoke.
Henry: Stay still, will you? I -- I've got a date to impress. Nikki: We used to ice skate here in the winter. I wish we could freeze this pond over right now. Jordan: Oh, why don't you give Jen a call? I'm sure she could get the job done in no time. Nikki: You know, she wants to hate you, so she plays the ice queen. Jordan: Oh, so you mean it's just an act? Nikki: I've seen the way she looks at you when she thinks you're not looking. She's so not over you. Jordan: So what should I do? Do I leave her alone until she's over being mad at me, or do I force her to deal with me and risk losing her for good? Nikki: Let's look at this like a case, okay? What do you know? That she loves you, right? Jordan: Right, right. But -- but she's too damn mad to give in. [Da da da da da da da] Well, it looks like our party animal is trying to bust loose. Come on, partner. Let's take a little walk here, okay? Come on. Now breathe.
Nikki: How's Henry? Jobrdan: He's better. Nikki: Where is he? Jordan: He's in the car. Nikki: Doing what? Jordan: Snoring. I said he was better, I didn't say he was conscious. Nikki: I called Jen and left her a message for her to meet me over here. Jordan: Why? Why did you do that? Shouldn't you have talked to me about that first? Nikki: You know the way she looks at you? That's how you look at her. Jordan: Right, except I still want to be with her and she basically wants me to drop dead. Nikki: Well, there is that matter of you breaking her heart. Jordan: So why did you call her? Nikki: You don't stay mad at somebody you don't care about. On the emotional spectrum, anger is right up there next to passion. Jordan: Really? They didn't teach us that at our lady of mercy. But I don't suppose you informed Jennifer that I was here when you invited her? Nikki: I may have left that detail out. [ Car horn honking ] Sounds like Henry's risen from the martini dead. Jordan: Hey, Henry! We're over here, buddy! Last one in's a rotten egg!
Nikki: We're outta here. Jordan: Was that Jen? What did she say? Henry: Geronimo! Mike: We'll hop in the car, head over to Snyder pond and explain. Jennifer: That won't be necessary. If I know my sister, she won't waste any time finding us. Henry: To think I had you pegged for a gentleman. Have you had your quota of fun for the night or is there an encore? Jordan: Henry, how was I supposed to know that you'd believe that we were skinny dipping in October? Henry: A beautiful woman, two able-bodied men, a little splash, splash. Do the math, Sinclair. Jordan: So -- so what was the phone call about? Nikki: I'm doing my sister a favor by calling her to bump into you here, and who do I hear in the background? Mike. He's over at B.R.O. With my sister. Jordan: So? Nikki: So you are so naive. Henry: Stop! Stop them! Jordan: Stop who? Henry: The thieves who stole my clothes.
