Monday, May 21, 2001 Well the big day
has finally arrived – Katie and Henry depart on their excellent adventure.
But first they have to get past Simon. Craig and Barbara are preparing for their wedding and their
happy guests are arriving. Katie is
in the lobby of the hotel with her trunk, obviously not dressed for the wedding.
Simon stops her and asks where she’s going, and with whom.
“Next time you see me, I'll be
an unfaithful wife,” declares Katie smugly.
“So the next time your Brazilian bombshell starts throwing off sparks,
you won't even have to feel guilty. And
when my lover calls, neither will I.” She
starts to leave and Simon stops her, saying, “Katie, wait, wait.
Why are you putting on this act?”
“Is it really so hard to believe that I've found someone who's romantic
and adventurous?” asks “So, this -- this
-- this is the stud muffin that you've been boasting about?
Right, this is how you're going to pay me back for what you imagined I
did with Ruby, right? Well, look, yeah, you showed me.
I hate being jealous,” says Simon sarcastically.
“I'm sure I'm being insulted here, so would one of you mind telling me
what's going on so I can glare with the proper look of indignation?” asks
Henry. “Give me a break,
Simon. So you caught me in one tiny
little white lie, big deal,” says Katie defensively. Henry begins checking his gear as Katie and Simon talk.
“Mosquito coils -- check.” Simon
asks Katie, “Why do you even bother with this?
You know, I'm not jealous. I
don't care what you do with your life as long as you don't bullocks up mine.”
“Fine, then,” answers Katie. “Henry
and I are just going on a little camping trip.”
“Ant-away -- check.” “Right,
right, yeah, right, where? Fantasy
Island?” asks Simon. “It's none
of your business, my love. Just
because I'm married to you doesn't mean I have to give away my air of
mystery,” taunts Katie. “Your air of what?” asks Simon, laughing.
“Extra floss -- check.” “Just
don't worry about me, okay, Simon?” says Katie.
“Okay, I won't,” agrees Simon. “I'll
be back in a couple of days with the biggest surprise you could ever imagine.
And when you see it, you're never gonna make fun of me again,” says
Katie proudly. “Okay, well, you
know, just make sure it's got ‘first class’ and ‘one-way ticket to
Australia’ printed on it. That
would be great,” says Simon. “Ah,
ah, ah! No fair guessing, honey.
Come on, Henry, let's go. Come
on,” says Katie as she drags him away. “I
had some martini mix here somewhere,” comments Henry.
“It's lethal stuff, but it's all I could find.” Katie and Henry go
up to her room for some last minute packing.
Henry throws some junk food on the bed and comments, “When I Henry and Katie are
in their little plane, heading for Lily and Simon’s island in the Outer Banks.
Katie is trying to make sense out of a map.
“I don't believe you, Katie,” complains Henry.
“You buy scuba gear. You
hire a plane. You hire me. You can't spend a couple of dollars on a better map?”
“I couldn't chance it. Nobody's
supposed to know where we are, remember? You
didn't put it in the airport log, did you?” asks Katie.
“Yeah, Katie,” says Henry sarcastically. “I told them, ‘destination -- no-name island, coordinates
-- lost by lostwest.’ Where'd you
get that map anyway, the Internet?” “Don't
knock it, Henry,” says Katie. “Yahoo,”
cheers Henry. “You can find
anything if you surf long enough,” says Katie.
“Yeah, well, that's what I'm hoping for,” says Henry, thinking of the
diamond. “So which way to the
Carolinas?” asks Henry, acting clueless.
Katie looks panicked and Henry laughs, “I got ya!”
“Henry, don't do that to me,” says Katie.
She hits him and he protests, “I'm flying.”
“My entire future is waiting for me on that island,” declares Katie. Today’s episode was directed by Chris Goutman and written by Judy Tate. |
