Tuesday, May 19, 2009 Henry and Vienna are excitedly making plans for their baby. Meanwhile, Katie and Brad are crushed that the potential adoption was a scam. Vienna brings Katie a present at WOAK to apologize, but Katie won't listen and walks away. While running after her, Vienna trips and feels a pain in her stomach. Katie rushes her to the hospital, but Henry is nowhere to be found. Today’s episode was directed by Michael Eilbaum and written by Susan Dansby.
Transcripts from TVMegasite [Door opens] Henry: [Chuckles] Some prenatal exercises, I presume? Vienna: [Laughs] Every day. It's good for the baby and it's good for me. What'd you get me? Henry: Whoa! It's something for later. Vienna: Oh. Henry: I, uh, I ran into somebody today. Vienna: Oh, someone I like? Henry: Someone that we would like to love us again. Vienna: [Gasps] Brad and Katie? Henry: Just Brad, just Brad. Vienna: And did they work something out with the adoption lawyer you've recommended? Henry: They're meeting the birth mother today. Vienna: Oh, my God! Henry: [Laughs] Vienna: Oh, that's wonderful! Just what we hoped for. Henry: I knew you'd be excited. Vienna: Oh, my God, we got to celebrate. We got to get them a present. Henry: What? Oh, yeah. Vienna: Oh, no, wait. I already got a present. Henry: [Laughs] Vienna: Oh, I got this. I got this a little earlier, and I was really sad that Katie couldn't use it. But now -- now she will. "Mom." "Baby." Henry: That's cute. That's really cute. Vienna: Isn't it cute? [Laughs] Henry: We shouldn't get -- we shouldn't get too excited here, though, because adoptions are a very complicated process, and there's still some things that can go wrong. Vienna: No, no, no, no, no! Not this time! And now that we've gotten them this lawyer, maybe they can forgive us, and then their baby and our baby can be friends, and what's better than that? Henry: Let's just hope the birth mother approves. Vienna: Yeah, but who wouldn't want Katie and Brad to raise their child? Henry: Well, we didn’t. Vienna: Yeah, well, the only reason why we didn't want to give the baby to Brad and Katie is because it turned out to be our baby. But this mother is in a --in a totally different situation, I'm sure. Henry: Yeah, and giving up the baby would allow her to finish her education. Vienna: Yes, and maybe have a family of her own one day. Henry: Yes, and give her child to a very wonderful home. Vienna: And what home wouldn't be better than Katie and Brad's? Henry: None. I love it when you get all fired up. Vienna: God, I'm so happy about this because I've been feeling so guilty for being happy when Katie's been so miserable. Henry: Now we can be happy without the guilt. Vienna: Oh. And speaking of happy, what'd you -- what? A video camera? Henry: I, uh, I thought we could make some home movies. Vienna: Oh. You naughty, naughty boy. [Laughs]
Henry: Let me see here. Hello! This pregnant lady is your mother. Isn't she gorgeous? You can thank her -- [Laughs] Henry: You can thank her for the gene pool later. And this is you. Your first major premiere. Give a wave for daddy. Vienna: I think our baby is a little shy. Henry: What?! Are you kidding me? Not a chance. Vienna: No, I do think it's shy. Okay, my turn. Henry: What? Vienna: My turn. Henry: All right. Vienna: Okay. Okay, so, this is your daddy. Say something. Henry: About what? Vienna: Something about yourself. Henry: Uh -- okay, kid, as you can tell, I have great taste in women. Vienna: Ha! [Laughs] Vienna: No, make it personal. Henry: Okay. Um -- uh, okay, personally, your daddy has been acting pretty stupid for a while now. Vienna: Okay, okay, delete. Where's the delete button? Henry: No, no, no, no, no. I want you to keep it rolling here because this is true. I've been -- I've been behaving pretty stupidly because I thought I don't want to be a father. And I was more than stupid. I was a coward, too. Vienna: Okay, cut! Cut, cut! I'm not gonna let you talk yourself down. You're gonna give the baby a complex. Henry: Hey, if you don't like what I say, you can erase it later. It's no big deal. I just -- I've been sort of building up to this. I just, uh, I want it to be said. Vienna: Okay, I just want you to know that no matter what your father says, he's a wonderful man, okay? Go ahead. Henry: Thank you. See, your mom --she believed in me. She thought that I could be a good dad, even when I was afraid that I couldn't be. But I will make you a promise, little Berta or Inga or Torval or Sven -- I will mess up -- guaranteed. Vienna: [Laughs] Henry: I will. Vienna: You're not saying a lot of nice things. Henry: I'm going for honest here. Vienna: Okay. Henry: The most honest thing that I can tell you, little buddy or buddina, is that from the moment I found out that you were mine, something started to change, and a life without you -- whoever you are -- I thought I knew what love was. But I didn't know how to love with my whole heart until you and your mom taught me how. It's so much more than I could have imagined.
Vienna: You were wonderful in the movie today. Henry: Maybe we can, uh -- maybe we can make another kind of movie. Vienna: Mm. Henry: About mommy's and daddy's private moments. Vienna: [Laughs] Ooh, what time were Katie and Brad going meeting with the lawyer today? Henry: Um, about half an hour ago. Vienna: Ooh, ooh, they must be done by now. I want to go see Katie. Henry: What? No, no, no. Maybe they're still getting to know each other. You don't want to interfere with that. Vienna: No. Right, right, right, right. You're right. I'll show up at her work, and that way, I can late-breaking news. Henry: Uh, but, you know, they still don't really like us right now. Maybe you could put it off, like, till tomorrow. Vienna: No! I miss seeing Katie's smile. She'll never be happier than she is today. Ooh, and I can bring the t-shirts. She'll love them. But I got to wrap them. Henry: [Laughs] You really are excited about this, aren't you? Vienna: Yes. Aren't you? I mean, Katie and Brad -- they're having a baby. And this way, they're gonna forgive us and they won't be mad at us anymore and we can have our friends back. Henry: Okay. All right, I'll wrap the tees. You go change. Vienna: Thank you, Henry. Henry: Oh, yes. I'll get something for Brad, too. It'll be nice to have our best friends back.
Henry: Hey, Mr. Quick! Hey! I'm glad I ran into you. How did it go? With the couple -- Katie and Brad Snyder. You met with them today, along with the pregnant woman, remember? Mr. Quick: Oh, yes. Lovely people. Henry: So -- so it's a done deal. I can go ahead and give this case of cigars to Brad. Mr. Quick: It went great. Big success. Henry: They're all set up for adoption, then? Mr. Quick: Absolutely. But I'm on the run. I'm going out of town on business. Henry: Okay, okay, yeah. Have a nice trip. And thanks. Thank you for helping my friends.
Henry: I hear that congratulations are in order. Brad: What the hell are you doing here? Henry: I just ran into Mr. Quick, on his way out of town. Brad! Brad: What's the matter with you?! Are you trying to ruin my life or what?! What's wrong with you?!
Henry: Brad, Brad, what the hell's the matter with you, man? Hey, hey! Brad: Your friend, the lawyer. Henry: Yeah, what about him? Brad: Well, you happened to refer us to a lawyer that you met over drinks. Henry: No, it wasn't like that. Brad: While you were pounding them back, did he happen mention that he had been disbarred? Henry: That's impossible. Brad: You know, he never showed up, man. He didn't show up -- he and his pregnant client. He lied about everything. Henry: Brad, I am -- I had no idea. Brad: You should have known this, man! You should have known this. You should have checked him up and down and sideways before you even let him anywhere near Katie, man. How could you do this to her? Henry: Where is she? Brad: You know, you said you just saw Mr. Quick. I want to know where he is, because I'm gonna kill him. I'm gonna kill him. Where is he? Henry: Last time I saw him, he said he was going out of town, all right? Brad: Oh, isn't that -- yeah, that's fantastic. He's probably halfway to Aruba spending my 10 grand. Henry: You gave him -- Brad. Brad, Brad, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Look, Vienna and I -- we just wanted to help. We thought this would be a small way of making up for what happened to the baby. Brad: Just do me a favor, okay? Just do me a favor. You know how you can help me? I don't try to help us anymore, all right? 'Cause every time you do, Katie's heart ends up in pieces. Henry: Brad, believe me -- this is the last thing that -- this is -- there has got to be some kind of way we can make this right. Brad: Go. Leave now. Go! Henry: Brad.
[Cell phone rings] Guy 1: Maybe you should lighten up on the booze, Henry. Guy 2: Hey, shut up. You don't want to boost his luck. Henry: Yeah, not much chance of that. Guy 3: It's been a while. Henry: Yeah, it has been. What's it up to now? Guy 3: $10,000 or so. I thought you'd reformed. Henry: I did. Guy 1: Then why are you here? Henry: Because I've got a debt -- a $10,000 debt. Guy 2: You won't be paying that tonight. [Laughter] Henry: Don't count me out just yet.
