Today’s episode was directed by John O'Connell and written by Elizabeth Page.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Maddie: Henry, please pick up, please pick up, I need you. Henry! Henry: Maddie, my favorite little sister. How'd you know I'd be here? Maddie: Well, there's a bar and enough bad card players here to keep you drinking martinis 'til the end of August. Henry: Yes. That reminds me -- it's payday around here. I'm gonna play a little poker, and with any luck I'll be buying you lunch. Maddie: I need money -- real money, not just lunch money. Henry: For what? Maddie: I have to get out of this town. Henry: Maddie, hey -- Maddie, what is this? The last time we spoke you were talking about a vacation. And now you're acting like you got the cops on your trail. Maddie: And if I did, what, are you saying that you wouldn't help me? Henry: Of course I would help you. Don't say something like that. Are you in some kind of trouble? Maddie: No! No! Henry: Then why do you want to get out of town? [ Maddie remembering ] Dallas: You still can't even say the words. You were sexually assaulted! Maddie: Because I can't stay here. Not when he's in town.
Henry: Here, sit down. Breaking up, it's hard to do, pumpkin. Maddie: Henry, I don't need advice, okay? I need money. I can't stay here anymore. Henry: You're not talking about taking a vacation. You're leaving. Maddie: I have to. We can rendezvous someplace glamorous like Monte Carlo. Or if that's too far, then Vegas -- Henry: No, bite your tongue, okay? The only place I want to rendezvous with you is the student lounge of the ivy league college of your choice. Maddie: Meanwhile, I need money. Henry: Right. Well, we're not going to get it off of Nathan and Manuel -- I can barely cover my dry cleaning bill with those boys. I need to talk to the management of this place, they are seriously underpaying their kitchen staff! Maddie: Then we'll go to plan B. Henry: Where did you get that? Maddie: OTB. And I still have some donut money left. Henry: Don't touch -- no, we're not touching the donut money! The donut money is sacred. Maddie: Fine, I won't touch it, but we need a stake. And you need to pick a winner. Henry: That's a lot of pressure, Maddie. Maddie: Fine, then I'll do it! High tide in the fourth. Henry: High tide's off his feed and his trainer's a known doper. Try ladies choice in the fifth -- and sayonara to place. Maddie: Just do it. Henry: Is he worth it, Maddie? Running away? I know Casey's a jerk -- Maddie: He's not a jerk. Henry: Then why are you doing this? Maddie: Because I -- I can't stay. All right? So are you going to place the bet, or do I have to do it?
Henry: Well, Mickey, you're breaking my heart here. What about sayonara? Threw a shoe? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know, you win some, you lose some -- only not today, Mickey. Today I need a little bit of luck. Yeah, thanks. Maddie: All of them? Henry: I'm sorry, kid, you're washed out. Maddie: Well, what am I gonna do? That was every last penny that i have. Henry: That's why I drink. It helps pick me up after I fall on my face at the track. Let me get you a ginger ale. The bartender's a friend of mine. I'm sure he'll spot me a soda, hmm?
Henry: Tennis, anyone? Maddie: What? Henry: Just ran into Biff and Buffy at the bar. They wanted to know if I care to join them for Canadian doubles. [ Henry laughs ] No. So I suggested poker, poolside -- so who knows, you might get lucky yet. Maddie: I have to go. Henry: What about your ginger ale? Maddie: You drink it. Henry: I can't drink that, there's no rum in it. Maddie: Yeah, well, maybe biff will spot you. I have to go. Henry: Maddie -- hey, mad -- whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold on a second here. You're obviously upset about something, we need to talk. Maddie: I can't talk to you! I'm -- I'm sorry. Henry: I'm your brother. Maddie: I know, and you love me. And I want to keep it that way. Henry: Maddie -- Maddie!
Casey: Where's Maddie? Henry: I don't know. She went running out of here. Casey: Where'd she go? Henry: I don't know. That's why I called you. Now, I'm her brother and I don't like seeing her like this. So man to man, Casey, what did you do to her? Casey: Me? I didn't do anything to her! Henry: Swell, he's pretty messed up about this break-up. Casey: Man, it was her idea! And I have no idea why, everything was going fine and then she just weirded out on me. But don't worry, I'll find out why. Henry: Really? You better hurry up. Because she's leaving town. Casey: What? Henry: Yeah, yeah. I tried to talk her out of it but she's already made up her mind. And you know Maddie, once she makes up her mind -- Casey: She's as good as gone.
