Thursday, December 12, 2002 Henry is walking into the Lakeview Lounge with a blond on each arm, saying, "Carnegie, Rockefeller, Gates - you know, they all had their setbacks or two or three. It's just part of the game." "But daddy's back on top?" asks one of the women, impressed. "Oh, daddy's king of the hill," answers Henry. "And it's good to be the king. Hey, Lloyd, how 'bout three martinis here? And don't spare the olives." "You got cash, hotshot?" asks the bartender suspiciously. Henry pulls out a wad of cash and sarcastically asks him, "What does this look like, Lloyd, huh? Arugula?" "I've always wanted to go to arugula," says one of the ditzy blonds. Henry shakes his head and tells her, "Yeah, see, now, sweetheart, you stick with me, and I'm gonna teach you the difference between salad and sand." Rosanna walks into the lounge talking to Emma on her cell phone and sees Henry throwing his money around. She looks on suspiciously as Henry offers to buy a round of drinks. He gives the bartender a big tip and says, "Hey, Lloyd. Here you go, man. Buy yourself a new toupee. That one looks like road kill." "Anything you say, Mr. Coleman," answers Lloyd dutifully. "Did you hear that? Anything Mr. Coleman wants, Mr. Coleman gets," brags Mr. Coleman. Rosanna walks up to Henry and taps him on the shoulder. "Miss Cabot," says Henry, surprised. "Well, girls, I'd like you to meet my former employer, Rosanna Cabot. Rosanna, these are the girls. My accountants." "He needs two, because he's so rich," quips one of the girls. "Indeed," says Rosanna icily. "So how's life treatin' ya there, Rosanna?" asks Henry casually. "Always interesting," answers Rosanna. "Keeping yourself busy since you weaseled out of that job I gave you?" Henry tells her he got a new job, and it's none of her business. "It's always my business when a former employee goes to work for a member of my family," accuses Rosanna. "You have a family?" wonders Henry. Rosanna turns to the women and comments, "Girls -- the accounting industry can be so precarious, don't you think? Ever heard of Arthur Andersen?" "Who's he?" they wonder. "Exactly," says Rosanna, and the girls run away scared. Henry is upset now and says, "You're a real buzz kill, Rosanna." She demands to see the money, and when Henry asks "Or what?" she answers, "Or I will have your eyeballs gouged out and replaced with cocktail onions." Henry tells her to live and let live. "Now, what fun is that?" says Rosanna. Henry hands the money to Rosanna and she remembers finding a similar wad of cash on the floor at the Monte Carlo offices, which Carly tried to explain away. Henry tries to take the money back and Rosanna tells him to let go of it. "It's my money, Rosanna," he insists. "And where did you get it, Mr. Coleman?" asks Rosanna. Henry says he got a new job, and Rosanna asks who he's working for. "For Beckerman. Hiram Beckerman. He's a high roller, and he doesn't trust his wife." "And I don't trust you," counters Rosanna. Henry tells her it's a good thing they ended their professional relationship. "But, in fact, we haven't ended our professional relationship, Mr. Coleman," Rosanna corrects him. "Because if I find out that you got this money from Carly..." Henry wonders how Carly could get her hands on that kind of money. "Yes, where, indeed? And how, indeed?" asks Rosanna. "But if it turns out that she did manage to scrounge up enough money in order to buy your silence..." "Actually, there's not enough money in the world to do that. You can ask the girls. I'm a very noisy kinda guy," says Henry, growling. Rosanna slaps his face with the money and promises to come after him if she finds out he's hiding proof that Carly slept with Mike. "I understand, yes, you will, you will. The cocktail olives, and the eyeballs. And I understand. It's very clear, Rosanna," says Henry. "Good. Have fun," says Rosanna as she hands him back the money and starts to leave. Henry asks her where she's going, and she answers, "To church. Have a nice day."
