Tuesday, June 27, 2006 Henry gives Maddie a little brotherly advice about her relationship with Casey. Unfortunately there's something she's not telling him, and it has to do with Jessica's newly arrived nephew, Dallas. Today’s episode was directed by Habib Azar and written by Judith Donato.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Henry: It's been a long time. Whoa, easy there. Hi. Hey. Maddie: Hey. Henry: I have that effect on people, I know. Hey, most important meal of the day. Maddie: You can have it. Henry: What, you're giving away food? Oh, well, then you're either sick or heartbroken. Cool as a cucumber. So who's the cad who broke your heart?
Henry: So, what's the fly in your cappuccino? Maddie: What, I'm not allowed to be in a bad mood? Henry: Yeah, you're allowed to be in a bad mood -- about 15 minutes, and then I'll take you to the zoo, and we'll stare at the monkeys. Maddie: You can't fix this for me, Henry. Henry: If there's a problem, sweetheart -- look, I'm a guy. Casey's a guy. I understand those -- urges -- if he's turning up the heat up on you -- you know -- Maddie: We are so not having this talk, please. Henry: Some guys can put the pressure on you by pretending not to put the pressure on you. It's one of the oldest tricks in the book. Maddie: Casey isn't tricking me, okay? He's been great. He's been -- he's been really great. It's just -- I am the problem here, not Casey. I'm a total loser. Henry: You are not a loser. You are a beautiful young woman, and any man would be tripping over his size 10s to be in the same room with you. [ Maddie remembering ] Maddie: Sorry, I can't be here. Henry: Hey, is any of this getting through to you? Maddie: Yeah, sure -- Henry: Do you want me to have a man-to-man with the guy? Maddie: No, Henry. Promise me? Please? Henry: Okay. Maybe you could have a heart-to-heart with him then. Maddie: That's the last thing I need. Henry: Well, I hate to sound like the mature adult here, but sometimes the last thing you need is the first thing you should do.
Maddie: If any other girl had a boyfriend as great as Casey, she would be -- Henry: Be what? Maddie: You know what. Henry: And you won't -- what? Maddie: No! We get to the moment of truth, and I bolted out of there like a derby winner. Henry: Okay, okay. I'm gonna be big brother on you here. I am glad you bolted, okay? I am glad you are not ready. Maddie: I'm so humiliated, Henry. What am I supposed to say to him? Henry: Uh, tell him the truth. Maddie: That's your best shot, the truth? How am I supposed to get him to understand what is going on with me when I don't even understand what's going on? Henry: Honey, there is no shame in not being ready yet. Maddie: But I -- i feel ready. I dream -- I spend, like, hours dreaming about Casey. And then, when he's actually right there in front of me, all these thoughts that I don't want start rushing into my brain. And I get all mixed up. Henry: What kind of thoughts? Maddie: I don't know. Just like static, pollution. Brain pollution. Henry: "Brain pollution?" All right. Okay, I think somewhere in the "brain pollution," I heard an explanation. Maddie: Really? Henry: Yeah. I think you need to let Casey know that what happened last night had more to do with your head than with your heart. The imagination's beautiful, but if it's makin' too much noise, you just gotta turn the volume down. Maddie: I don't know how. Henry: Look, you've always got, like, ten things going on in your brain, right? Maddie: Yeah, at least. Henry: At least. Why don't you just cut it down to like two? Maddie: I'll try. Henry: What do you got to lose? Maddie: Casey. Henry: Oh, please, please. That guy's crazy about you. Maddie: You really think so? Henry: How could he not be? Maddie: Okay. I love you. Henry: I love me, too. [ Maddie laughs ] Now, you go find the dude. You tell him to treat you right, all right? Or he will have to deal with me. And I will be big brotherly, and I will be very, very stern, and he will not like it. Tell him not to be on the wrong side of Henry Coleman. Maddie: I'll tell him. I'll tell him, Henry. I will tell him everything. Henry: Good. Maddie: Thank you. Bye. Henry: Bye. [ Henry sighs ]
Dallas: It's just a change of scenery, that's all. Jessica: A change of scenery or a change of people? Dallas: A little of both. Jessica: Well, whatever the case, I'm glad you're here. I've missed you. Dallas: I've missed you, too. Jessica: And you're okay crashing with your boring old auntie? Dallas: Not old, okay? Never boring, and not such a bad place to crash either. Jessica: You always said the right things. Let me get you a refill? Dallas: No, no, I'll get it. Jessica: No, stay put. You can wait on me at home. Henry: I need a spot at the table and enough chips to cover ten grand -- that's grand, that's so grand! Yeah, chips on the side, appreciate that, none of that fresh veggie stuff for me. Okay? Thanks. Al's -- their takeout, I just -- I can't get enough of it. Jessica: Yeah, especially the chips? Henry: Jalapeno. They just really give you a kick in the taste buds. Jessica: Two more coffees please? Henry: Have a nice day, counselor. Jessica: Thank you. Here you go. Dallas: You know that guy? Jessica: Only in a professional capacity. Dallas: He looks harmless. Jessica: Yeah, until you slap the cuffs on him. Dallas: That guy? Jessica: That guy practically has his own seat in the interrogation room. And he usually ends up just innocent enough to make bail. Henry Coleman has been involved in everything from helping alleged kidnappers to high-stakes, illegal poker games -- Dallas: Wait, did you say Coleman? As in Maddie Coleman? Jessica: Yeah, yeah, that's his kid sister. Mm-hmm. Dallas: Interesting.
