Friday, February 1, 2008 Vienna and Brad plan a romantic dinner for two at Al's Diner, but co-owner Henry is not thrilled with the idea of a missed night of profits and his old friend Katie being tricked. Today’s episode was directed by Michael Eilbaum. No writer listed due to writer's strike.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Brad: Henry. Perfect timing. Can you -- can you give me a hand? Henry: Yeah, would you mind telling me what the hell is going on here?
Henry: Whose idea was it to close the diner? Brad: It was mine. Well, using the diner was Vienna's idea. Henry: Oh, yeah. Why am I not surprised? Brad: This is perfect for a really special date with Katie. Henry: You know, I know this is an alien concept to you, Brad. It's alien to Vienna at times as well, but this is what we call a business. And in order to make money, the door has to be open for the paying customers! I don't even know why you're bothering anyway, because Katie does not want to be with you. Brad: You see, that's what she thinks she thinks. But deep down, she's crazy about me. See, she is in denial. Henry: What? Where are you getting this stuff? Brad: Vienna. Henry: Ah-hah. Okay. I don't know who's in denial, I don't know who's delusional, but you're both nuts! Brad: Henry, Henry, you know what? This is the perfect time, perfect place for me to tell Katie how much she means to me, okay? If it doesn't work out, fine. That's it. Then I'm going to leave her alone, forever. Henry: Seeing you rejected again, gosh, that might be worth losing a night's business. Yeah. Brad: She's not going to reject me. All right? She is going to love this.
Brad: Okay, come on, hide! Henry: Why? Why? Brad: Katie's coming. [ Brad groans ] Henry: You're killing yourself. Katie: I knew it. Henry already feels bad about your fight. He must have done this to make up with you. I gotta go! Vienna: No, no, no. Katie, wait! I have a confession to make.
Katie: You have a confession to make? Vienna: It's Henry -- he terrifies me. Katie: Henry? Oh, come on. Vienna: The real Henry Coleman, he can be a beast when he's aroused. Can you go look for him in the kitchen? Please? Katie: This is the nuttiest thing I've ever heard. Vienna: Henry! Brad! Henry: Hey! I don't appreciate being called an animal even in a fake fight. Especially if it's not in a good way. Vienna: I called you a beast, not an animal. Henry: Oh yeah, right. So why are we playing cupid for Brad here? He's not going to force himself on Katie. It's a recipe for disaster. Vienna: It's a recipe for true love! And if you can't see that, then maybe our fake fight is real. Henry: Are you serious? Vienna: Yes. But we can't fight here. Good luck with Katie. Come on. Brad: I'm gonna need it.
Henry: I am sure that Brad really thinks he wants to settle down with Katie, but he has no idea what that means. Because he is a -- he's a manimal, is what -- [ Cell phone ringing ] He's a manimal, that's what he is. And you're whole plan is doomed. Oh, look! It's Brad. His date must be going really well if he has time to give me a jingle. Vienna: Mm-hmm. Henry: Hello, Brad. How's it going? Brad: Terrible. Can you and Vienna please come and get your mutt? He's hogging all of Katie's attention. Henry: Brad is being upstaged by our dog. Vienna: Come on, pepper. Katie: I see you two made up. Traitors. That was a dirty trick. Vienna: Oh, come on, it was a little white lie. Just hear Brad out. To understand is to forgive. Come on, Henry. Katie: And you! I am disappointed in you. Henry: Katie! I swear! I'm an innocent victim in all this! Katie: Well, I guess since the dog ate my dinner, we should just call it a night. Henry: Yes. Would you look what you've done. This is a fiasco! Vienna: Well, come on. Let's go, Henry. Henry: No, no, let's just wait. Okay, she might forgive us if we give her a lift to the hotel. Vienna: No, no. No need for that. Katie will finish her date with Brad. Henry: What? Are you crazy? Did you see the look on her face? Vienna: Would you like to make a little bet? Henry: Well, you know I love to gamble, but this is a sure thing. And whenever anyone offers me a sure thing, I become very, very worried. What are you up to, Vienna? Vienna: Come on. Henry: Vienna. Vienna: Come on. Henry: Vienna, what are you up to? Vienna: Come on.
Henry: This is crazy. We're losing a whole night's business. And we're out here paying for coffee out of paper cups in the cold to boot. Vienna: You and I have a bet. So we have to wait here and see who wins. Henry: Okay, I'm going to win. All right? The question is, when Katie leaves Brad in the lurch, which I know she will, what do I win? Vienna: You are bound to lose. Henry: How can you be so sure about that? Aren't you cold? Vienna: Oh, it's a small sacrifice to make for true love. Henry: I say phooey to true love, if I'm freezing when I could be warm. Vienna: You just hate to lose a bet. Henry: See, there it is again. It's a confidence there, I don't like it. I can only mean one thing, the fix is in. What have you done, Vienna? Vienna: I locked them in. We'll let them out in an hour or so. Henry: What? What? No! Foul! No. No bet! No bet! That's a -- how could you do something like this? That's not fair to Katie. Vienna: Everything is fair in love and war! Henry: Okay, maybe, but in gambling there are rules. Come on.
Henry: Katie, Katie, Katie, stop! Katie: What do you want? Henry: I want to make sure you're okay. Katie: No, I'm not okay. Far from it. Henry: I swear, I had nothing to do with this. I had no idea what Brad was planning. It was Vienna. Katie: Well, then it's up to you to get Vienna under control. Tell her to stay out of my love life. I never want to be put in that position again!
