Friday, January 16, 2004 Henry shows up today to help Mike pick out some jewelry for Katie. Mike is at a jewelry store when Henry shows up. Mike thanks him for meeting him there. "Anything for Katie," says Henry. Mike explains that for weeks he's been wanting to get something for Katie. But he wants it to be right for her, not just nice. "Well, lucky for you, I'm the one man in this backwater town that knows his way around a good piece of jewelry. You were a genius to call me, Mike," brags Henry. Mike asks what he could get that would really surprise Katie. "A bracelet out of a cracker jack box would surprise her. What's important is what you want this little token to say, hmm?" says Henry. "I want it to say that she's the best thing that's ever happened to me. I can't stop thinking about her when we're apart. And when we're together, I can't get enough of her. You know, it's her smile. That goofy way she goes on and on when she gets an idea stuck in her head. I've loved her practically since the moment I laid eyes on her, Henry," gushes Mike. "That she's one of the most surprising, darling, little creatures ever to grace the earth," adds Henry with a dreamy look on his face. "Sorry. Sorry, your ardor is a little contagious, that's all," he says, snapping back to reality. "She got me this watch. It just blew me away," says Mike. "Yeah, yeah, so you said," says Henry. Mike says he wants his gift for Katie to be as special as that. "Okay. All right, not to worry, young lion. Not to worry. Uncle Henry to the rescue. Antoine?" Henry calls the jeweler over to begin showing them things.
"Something a little rococo?" suggests Antoine as he shows them a lavish ruby and diamond necklace. "Ro-ro who?" asks Mike, confused. "I know, you're right. It's a little too dramatic," agrees Henry. Next Antoine shows them a necklace with "Your two hearts linked as one?" "I think I used to have a dog with a collar like that," says Mike. Next Henry is holding a pair of diamond earrings up to his ears, saying, "No, these are sort of Katie, don't you think? Kind of, kind of perky and sweet and they just... they have just a hint of the wicked." "Not so much. They don't look so good on you, either," says Mike. Antoine continues to show them more jewelry, including gold necklaces and bracelets. But Mike doesn't like any of them. Antoine shows them a beautiful watch and Henry hints, "Look at that. It's 20 minutes past my afternoon martini, but hasn't this been swell?" "I shouldn't have roped you into this, Henry. Something's bound to jump out at me," says Mike. "That's what I'm afraid of," mutters Henry. Mike thanks Henry and assures him he'll be fine. "Okay. Good luck. He's all yours, Antoine," says Henry as he leaves to go have that martini. "The right thing's gotta be here somewhere. I'll know it when I see it," says Mike to himself.
Mike eventually picks out an engagement ring for Katie. Which is unfortunate because back at the cottage, Simon returns!! Today’s episode was directed by Habib Azar and written by Judy Tate.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Mike: Henry, thanks for meeting me, man. Henry: Anything for Katie. Mike: All right, now, for weeks I've been dying to get Katie something. And obviously I want it to be nice, but -- but it also -- it needs to be right for her. That's the important thing. Henry: Well, lucky for you, I'm the one man in this backwater town that knows his way around a good piece of jewelry. You were a genius to call me, Mike. Mike: Thank you. Now, what can I get her that will really surprise her? Henry: A bracelet out of a cracker jack box would surprise her. What's important is what you want this little token to say, hmm? Mike: I want it to say that she's the best thing that's ever happened to me. I can't stop thinking about her when we're apart. And when we're together, I can't get enough of her. You know, it's her smile. That goofy way she goes on and on when she gets an idea stuck in her head. I've loved her practically since the moment I laid eyes on her, Henry. Henry: That she's one of the most surprising, darling, little creatures ever to grace the earth. Sorry. Sorry, your ardor is a little contagious, that's all. Mike: She got me this watch. It just blew me away. Henry: Yeah, yeah, so you said. Mike: Well, this surprise needs to be all that and more. Henry: Okay. All right, not to worry, young lion. Not to worry. Uncle Henry to the rescue. Antoine? Store clerk: Something a little rococo? Mike: Ro-ro who? Henry: I know, you're right. It's a little too dramatic. Your two hearts linked as one? Mike: I think I used to have a dog with a collar like that. Henry: No, these are sort of Katie, don't you think? Kind of -- kind of perky and sweet and they just -- they have just a hint of the wicked. Mike: Not so much. They don't look so good on you, either. Henry: Well -- Mike: No. Sorry. Henry: Look at that. It's 20 minutes past my afternoon martini, but hasn't this been swell? Mike: I shouldn't have roped you into this, Henry. Something's bound to jump out at me. Henry: That's what I'm afraid of. Mike: I'll be fine, all right? Thanks anyway, though. Henry: Okay. Good luck. He's all yours, Antoine. Mike: The right thing's gotta be here somewhere. I'll know it when I see it.
