Thursday, December 20, 2007 Vienna has been upset because she thinks she wants a baby but Henry isn't ready. So Henry surprises her with an adorable puppy as a first step toward parenthood. At first she refuses to look at it, much less love it. But after it eats Bonnie's planner, she just can't resist! Today’s episode was directed by Michael Eilbaum and written by Richard Culliton.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Henry: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, the papers are all in order? 'Cause I am leaving now. I don't want anything to slow things down. No, I have cash. That still works, doesn't it? Vienna: Henry? Just who are you talking to? Henry: No, I am not interested in aluminum siding. Thank you very much. Vienna: Henry, you don't fool me. Just who were you talking to about papers right now?
Vienna: You know I will wear you down. You know that I will make you tell me what you're planning. Henry: Oh, Vienna, it's Christmas. There are secrets. Vienna: No, not from me. No secrets from me. Because the last time you did something secret, we ended up with a diner. Henry: Yes. A diner that you now love. Vienna: Don't be rational with me. I don't like it. And I don't like you go off alone. Henry: What do you mean? Who's talking about going off alone? Vienna: You just did it! On the phone. So you see, you might as well just tell me what you're up to, because I am not letting you out of my sight. What are you looking at? Henry: Her. She looks so sad, don't you think? Vienna: Uh-oh. She looks even sadder than what she did before. You know what, I think it's time for some pepparkakor. Henry: Yeah. A soft heart, sweetheart. Gets ya every time.
Vienna: Oh! You! You are in serious trouble! Henry: Okay, okay. Merry Christmas to you, too. Vienna: No, you made me feel sorry for that girl just so you could sneak out. Henry: Well, yes, that is me. I am the definition of sneaky. Vienna: Oh, you are pleased with yourself, aren't you? Henry: I'm pleased with everything today. I have the most beautiful woman in the world, uh, and I'm about to celebrate my very first Christmas with her. And I have nailed down not a good, but a great Christmas present. Vienna: It better be. Henry: You know how we talked about making a baby? Vienna: Henry, do you really think it's wise of you to bring that up now that I'm already mad at you? Huh? Henry: I know. I thought about what you said. About sharing our love, about being a family -- and, well -- it's not a baby. It's actually a little bit better. Oh -- [ In playful voice ] Merry Christmas, Vienna. [ Vienna sighs ] Well, that went well.
Henry: Vienna, would you at least come out here and say hello? Vienna: I'm not going to say hello to a dog. It is a dumb animal, and I don't converse with dumb animals. Except you. Henry: You know, maybe I'm being a little too sensitive here, but I'm getting a feeling that you're not as happy about this as I had hoped. Vienna: I wanted a baby, and you gave me a puppy! Henry: I know. But this gives us a chance to find out if we can take care of something else, you know? Vienna: Oh! My Christmas present is a pooper scooper! Henry: Yeah, it's better than diapers, don't you think? Let's just have the puppy now, and then we can we can talk again about a baby. Vienna: I think that will be very difficult. Henry: Why? Vienna: Because, as of right now -- I am not talking to you at all. [ Henry mocks puppy whimpering ]
Customer #1: What kind of puppy is that? Vienna: Unwanted. Customer #2: Oh, it's so cute. Vienna: Your order will be right up. Henry: You know, maybe, if you just held me for a little bit, Vienna, you'll see how cute I am. Vienna: You may wrap him around your paw. But not me, not ever.
Henry: Hey, we're closed -- is something wrong? Bonnie: Yeah, I think I left my day planner here. It's just got my entire life in it. Henry: Vienna, did you see a day planner? Vienna: No. No, I didn't see anything. Bonnie: Well, I was sitting over there. And I just -- no! No, wait! Stop him! You've got to stop him! Henry: Puppy! Puppy, put that down! Bonnie: Wait, he's running away! Henry: I'll get him. I'll get him. Bonnie: Please! Vienna: Oh, such a good puppy. Such a little sweetheart. Bonnie: That sweetheart ate my planner! Vienna: Well, perhaps this will teach you to take better care of your things. Oh, yeah, because if Pepper wants to be a good little dog, we can't leave temptation lying around, can we? Henry: Pepper? Vienna: Oh, it's short for pepparkakor. Now, give daddy a nice big kiss. Henry: Daddy? Vienna: Isn't daddy the bestest? He knew just exactly what mommy wanted for Christmas. Didn't he?
