Katie is recovering at the cottage, but can't rest because she's
curious about who Simon is getting to help him with the surveillance of Marshall
Travers' room. She guesses that it's Jack, because "who else is
there?" Just then there's a knock at the door - it's Henry!
"Simon Frasier, you're my hero! Seriously, man, whatever the job, I'm
your man." "Oh no, not Henry!" exclaims Katie. She
tells Simon that he can't work with Henry because bad things will happen.
"Why don't you just talk about me like I'm not even here," pouts
Henry. Katie explains that this job is dangerous, Simon will need some one
brave, and Henry is chicken. "Dangerous? What kind of job is
this?" asks Henry. "It's just a casual bugging of a lawyer's
hotel room," answers Simon. "What do you think?"
"Dirty tricks, all right!" says Henry, rubbing his hands
together. He explains that he'll need equipment, and it's not cheap.
Simon asks him how much he needs, and Henry says 300 dollars. "Do you
take cash?" asks Simon as he counts out the money and hands it to
Henry. "Absolutely, it's my favorite kind," says Henry.
Katie is not happy about the situation, so she asks Simon to go
get her pills in the kitchen. After Simon leaves, she grabs Henry and he
howls, "Careful of the chest hair, it's paste on." Katie tells
Henry to take the money and go, because everything he touches is doomed.
So he helped a little in Avanya, that was just a fluke and she doesn't want his
bad luck near her husband. (She seems to forget the countless times Henry
has helped her out of jams!) She threatens him to stay away.
"Or what, half-liver? You're going to throw a hissy fit?" says
Henry. Worse, she'll sic Lucinda on him!
Henry pretends to be tempted by the 300 dollars, "I can get
all the way to Milltown with that kind of cash!" Katie tells him to
knock it off, Simon will be back soon and she wants him gone. Henry
refuses. Simon saved him from Lucinda, and besides, "He's my
friend." "Your what?" asks Katie in disbelief.
"He's the first friend I've ever had, OK?" admits Henry. Katie
asks Henry if this is for real, if he really wants to help Simon just to help
him, not for personal gain. Henry explains that even if it wasn't, he
wouldn't want to do anything to get Simon and Lucinda on his tail. Simon
comes back into the room; he couldn't find Katie's pills. She realizes she
had them in her pocket all along.
Simon asks Henry to meet him at the Lakeview tomorrow.
Henry agrees, and says, "If you get there first, I'll have a martini, very
dry." Simon reminds him that this is business, no cocktails.
"Not even an olive to suck on?" jokes Henry. "See ya, Mrs.
F," he says to Katie. He again thanks Simon for rescuing him from
"Lucinda's happy house of indentured servitude." "You are
Androcles and I am the lion," says Henry dramatically as he leaves.
Simon is confused, and Katie explains that Henry means he is a friend for
life. "And that's scary, very scary!"

is. Ah, careful.
>> Katie: Thank you.
>> Simon: You okay?
>> Katie: Yeah, I'm fine.
>> Simon: Now I thought you were asleep.
>> Katie: No, no, I'm not asleep. I was too busy trying to figure out who
you're gonna get to help you bug Marshall Travers' hotel room. And I figured it
out. 
>> Simon: Just let it go. Who -- who, who is it?
>> Katie: Jack Snyder.
>> Simon: Hmm, I wonder who it -- [ Knock at door ]
>> Katie: Who else is there? Come on, Simon, please tell me! You're
driving me crazy.
>> Henry: Simon Frasier, you're my hero. Seriously, man, I owe you my
life. Whatever the job is, I am ready.
>> Katie: Simon, no. Oh, no! Anyone but Henry!
[ Simon & Katie's Cottage ]
>> Katie: You can't work with Henry! That's the worst idea I've ever
heard!
>> Henry: Why don't you just talk about me like I'm not even here?! 
>> Katie: It can get dangerous. You know that. So you need someone brave.
Henry's a chicken.
>> Henry: Wait, whoa, whoa -- dangerous? What kinda job is this, Simon?
>> Simon: Just the casual bugging of a lawyer's hotel room. What do you
think?
>> Henry: Dirty tricks? All right. You came to the right guy. I'm gonna
need some special equipment --
>> Simon: All right, get a list together.
>> Henry: I know exactly what to get, but it's not gonna be cheap.
>> Simon: How much?
>> Katie: Don't give him any money. You'll never see him again.
>> Henry: $300 just to cover the basics.
>> Simon: $300? Well, do you take cash?
>> Henry: Absolutely, it's my favorite kind.
>> Simon: One, two, three --
>> Katie: Simon, my pills. I think I need to take some medication. 
It's
in the kitchen. Will you get it for me?
>> Simon: Of course I will, my love. You stay right here.
>> Henry: Ow, ow, whoa! Careful of the chest hair. It's paste-on.
>> Katie: Oh, please, Henry. Take the $300 and get out of here.
>> Henry: Why?
>> Katie: Because everything you touch is doomed. Yes, you did a little
help in Avanya -- and we really appreciate that -- but it was probably just a
fluke. And I don't want it rubbing off on my husband. Please just go.
>> Henry: Or what, half-liver? You're gonna throw a hissy fit, huh?
>> Katie: No, I think I might sic Lucinda on you.
[ Simon & Katie's Cottage ]
>> Henry: You're just gonna give me $300, Katie? I don't -- I don't know
what to say. 
Gee, I could get all the way
to Milltown with that kind of cash.
>> Katie: Knock it off, Henry. Simon's gonna be back any second, and I
want you gone. Take the money and go. It's so easy.
>> Henry: No! I'm not gonna do it, Katie. He saved me from Lucinda -- and
he's my friend.
>> Katie: Your what?
>> Henry: He's the first friend I've ever had, okay? All right?
>> Katie: So this real? You're helping Simon just to help him, not for
personal gain?
>> Henry: Nah. And even if -- even if I didn't, I don't want to do
anything that what put Simon and Lucinda on my tail. All right?
>> Simon: Babe -- I couldn't find your meds. 
>> Katie: I had them all along. Oops.
>> Simon: Oh, really?
>> Katie: And I don't take one for another hour. I'm sorry.
>> Simon: Not a problem. That's fine. So you'll meet me at The Lakeview
tomorrow?
>> Henry: Yeah. Yeah. And if you get there first, I'll take one martini,
very dry.
>> Simon: Just be there with the equipment. No cocktails.
>> Henry: What about an olive to suck on? I'm just kidding. Come on. I'll
see you, Mrs. F. Seriously, I gotta thank you, because you really saved me from
Lucinda's sort of happy house of indentured servitude. You know, you are
Androcles, and I am the lion.
>> Simon: What the -- lion? What is --
>> Katie: I think that's Henry's way of saying he's your friend for life.
Oh, Simon, that's scary -- really, really scary.
