Thursday, July 16, 2009 Geneva makes another appearance on "Oakdale Now." Hopped up on painkillers, Vienna goes too far insulting Geneva on air and Kim fires her. Katie is sure Henry will stop playing Geneva now that he's gotten what he's wanted, but he's having too much fun to stop now. Today’s episode was directed by Maria Wagner and written by Susan Dansby.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Vienna: Can you help zip me? Henry: I’d rather unzip you and put you back to bed. Vienna: Please. Henry: Are you sure you really want to do this? Sweetheart, it’s obvious you’re still in pain. Vienna: Well, I’m fine as long as I don’t do anything strenuous. Kim promised me I won’t be doing any pole dancing. Henry: Well, that’s a relief. Vienna: And these muscle relaxers are really helping. Henry: Be careful with those they can be really strong. Vienna: Yeah, but I can’t just sit back while Geneva trash my reputation and steals my job. I’m going to go in and be so wonderful that Kim will throw her out on her old flabby behind. Henry: You think her behind is flabby? Vienna: It’s pathetic. And anyone can see it.
Vienna: I’m ready let’s go. Henry: Well. Go where? Vienna: WOAK. Are you driving me? Henry: No, sweetie. You’re gonna have to take a cab. Vienna: Why? Henry: Restaurant business. Restaurant business has come up. Vienna: Oh, no. You can do the restaurant business later. We never spend time together. Henry: I’ll be there with you in spirit. Okay? Hurry or you’ll be late. [Vienna takes two more pills] [In Geneva voice] Henry: It’s show time.
Brad: Geneva's working today? Kim: Oh, yeah. Didn't I mention that? We're discussing -- we're discussing women's self-image. Brad: What about my sexual-harassment suit? Kim: I promise you if Geneva lays a hand on you, I will protect you. Henry: Hello, Brad. Brad: Kim! Henry: I hope there was no misunderstanding the last time we met. Brad: What, when you were in my house taking off your clothes? No. It was perfectly understood. Henry: No, no, I'm -- I'm sorry if I came on just a little strong. But now that I see that the feelings aren't mutual, I -- I've decided to just leave it in the past and move on. Brad: Okay. Well, yeah, you move on, you know, while I'm suffering from post-traumatic stress. [Henry sighs] Henry: Oh, Kim, hi! Kim: Hello. Henry: Is -- is, uh, Vienna gonna be on the show today? Kim: She is. But feel free to go ahead and express your own opinions. And if we have just, you know, trouble between the two of you, well, you know, that equals drama, and drama equals a happy audience. Henry: Okay.
[Cell phone rings] Henry: Katie. Katie: Henry, where are you? Henry: I'm at the studio. Have you seen Vienna? Katie: I thought she was coming back to the show today. Henry: Well, she was. She left before me, and -- and she's not here now. Katie: I haven't heard from her. What could have happened to her? Vienna: It's you! You -- you'd better fasten your seat belt for today's show, because I'm going to blow you out of the water! Henry: Oh, well, we'll see about that. Ooh, ooh, ooh! Vienna: Get your hands off me, you -- you pretty-women hater. Kim: Does Vienna seem all right to you? Henry: You know, Kim, I think she seems a little tipsy. I hope I'm wrong. Kim: Unfortunately, I can't do anything about it. Places, everybody.
Henry: Well, I think physical beauty is overrated. Brad: Not to me. Vienna: And not to my Henry. He loves that I'm beautiful. Henry: Well, be that as it may, life is to be enjoyed. So if what makes you happy is a half gallon of ice cream in front of the TV every night, well, then, go for it, ladies. Kim: Ooh, ooh, ooh. Without any regard to the consequences? Henry: Oh, I don't know, Kim. Have you ever seen those shapely Greek statues? You can't count the bones on those ribs, no. And I can guarantee you you can bet your last nickel that those hardy Greek lads -- well, they weren't complaining about those bottoms. [Kim laughs] Kim: All right. Brad, what do you have to say about that? Brad: I like ladies' bottoms. [Laughter] Vienna: Big bottoms? Henry: Oh, I -- I think a man would have more fun in the dark with a -- a full-figured gal like myself as opposed to someone who's less generously endowed. I mean, as they say, "More is more." Vienna: This is nonsense. Kim: Tell us why. Vienna: Because -- because it is. Henry: What a brilliant argument. Vienna: I'll prove it to you. Who would you rather sleep with, Brad -- her or me? Brad: I'm not gonna touch that one. Katie: Good. Good answer, Honey. Kim: Putting personal preferences aside, let's talk about the benefit of -- Vienna: No! Geneva Swift is wrong. Henry: I beg your pardon. Vienna: Yes. It is a woman's responsibility to be as beautiful as she can be, and exercising only makes you look better and feel better. Henry: Does that mean wearing a size 2 makes you more desirable? I think not. Vienna: You know what? Geneva Swift, you are an ugly, vicious, and a stupid person in here. And I find you extremely annoying and -- and obnoxious! And you're a witch! Henry: Well, at least I cover my body parts and don't flaunt them to the world. But then I'm not an exhibitionist like you! Vienna: Oh! Brad: Ooh! Kim: Cut, cut, cut! Henry: Shame on you! Shame, shame, coming to work drunk like this! I -- I'm sorry. I have to leave. I have taken enough abuse. Toodle-oo. Kim: Oh, listen. No, no, no. That's enough. Vienna: We have to finish the show. Kim: Uh, no. You're done. Vienna: We stopped taping? Kim: Yes, but that's not what I meant. What I meant is you are fired.
[Fan 1 gasps] Fan 1: Ms. Swift! Fan 2: Geneva, can we have your autograph? Henry: Of course. Fan 1: You speak for big-boned women everywhere. Fan 2: Thank you so much. I'll treasure it always. Floyd: Geneva, you are the long-stemmed American beauty of my life. I didn't know there were women like you in the world. Henry: There aren't. [Laughter] [Cell phone ringing] Henry: Phone call. Excuse me. Sorry. Fan 1: Oh, oh! We love you. Henry: Love you, too. [Normal voice] Henry: Hey. Did you -- uh, did you see the show? Katie: Did you hear you got what you wanted? Henry: A bigger dressing room? Katie: Vienna was fired. Henry: Yes! Victory. Katie: That's the good news. Henry: There's bad news? Katie: Vienna's lost it.
Henry: Hey, Kim. Where's Vienna? Kim: Oh. Thank God. She's locked herself in my office. Henry: What? Bad day? Kim: Unfortunately, I had to let her go. Henry: No? Kim: Yes. I didn't -- I mean, I didn't want to do it. But I had no choice. She became physically violent. She went after Geneva. She even decked Brad. Henry: You are kid -- she's so sweet and gentle. I don't understand. Kim: Yeah, well, uh, I don't want to sound un -- unfeeling, but, you know, she has locked herself in my office. Maybe you could kind of get -- Henry: Of course. Of course I'll take over. I'll take over. Sorry about that. Kim: All right. Thank you. Henry: Goodness. Liebchen, Honey, it's me. Hey. Vienna: Henry. Henry: I'm here. I'm here. Vienna: I just lost my job, all because of that awful woman. Henry: Poor, poor baby. Poor baby. [Cell phone rings] Henry: I'm sorry, Sweetie. I've got to take this. Vienna: No, no, no. Please don't take it. Henry: I -- it's a 911 from the restaurant. It's been crazy there all day. Dry your tears. I will be right back, I promise. Vienna: I just need a hug. Henry: Sweetie, I'll be right back. [Woman's voice] Henry: Hi, Kim. Kim: Geneva, I have an offer for you. Henry: Well, I'm listening.
Kim: I want to make you a permanent member of "Oakdale Now." Henry: What, little old me? Kim: Obviously, you've had an impact on the show, and you certainly are special. Henry: Uh-huh. How special? In other words, what are the numbers we're talking about salary-wise? Kim: I'll make, uh, an official offer and get back to you, all right? Henry: Well, that -- well, that sounds delightful! I will need a wardrobe allowance. Kim: Uh, right. We can do that. Uh, we'll also bring in your own hairstylist and makeup artist. Henry: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I -- I'll do my own. That's okay. Uh, but I would like a bigger dressing room and a car service. Kim: Excuse me. Uh, Geneva, I'll check and see how far I can go with this, but times are difficult, you know? Henry: Yeah, okay. But you get what you pay for, Kim, Dear. Vienna: Oh. Henry, I'm so sad. Henry: Oh, I know, baby. Vienna: I know -- I know you don't understand, but I had fun being on TV, you know, being recognized and writing autographs and -- Henry: Getting flowers? Vienna: I never got any flowers. Henry: But you would have, my little kumquat. Come on. Let's go home. I'll treat you like the star that you are. Mwah! Kim: Vienna, I'm so sorry it had to end this way. Henry: I had no idea you could be so heartless. But then I guess that's showbiz.
Henry: Hey! Where's Brad? Katie: Um, he went back to the studio to talk to Kim. So you must be happy. You got what you wanted. Henry: Yeah. Indeed I am happy. I'm happy as a clam. I just -- I feel bad for poor Vienna. That's all. Katie: How's she doing? Henry: She has taken to her bed. But don't worry. I'm gonna help her get through it. Katie: Where'd you get that? Did you buy roses for Vienna? Henry: No. This is from an admirer, Floyd. He's the biggest fan. It's nice to feel special, you know? Katie: Okay, listen to me, Henry. You are crossing into very weird territory right now. You got to stop this before you cross over into Looneyville! Henry: It's just nice to be admired! What's the matter with you? Katie: But it's over now, right? Henry: No, no, no, no, no. It's just beginning. Katie: Wait a second! All you wanted was Vienna gone! Well, she's gone! Now Geneva can go fly off into the sunset, just like you promised. Henry: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. She can't disappear right now. She's becoming a -- an icon, Katie. And the only way she's going anywhere is over my dead body.
