Henry Recaps

Monday, November 11, 2002

Mike and Molly are sitting at the bar at the Lakeview Lounge and agree not to talk about Rosanna anymore. Molly is surprised to see Rosanna walk in with Henry and sit down at a table. "Oh my... I just put two and two together!" she says. "See that twerp hiding behind his menu? His name is Henry Coleman, and he'd sell his mother for a martini." She figures out that he must have been the person Rosanna hired to break into her apartment.

Henry sees Molly sitting at the bar and is uncomfortable. "That's Molly McKinnen at the bar with her boyfriend," he says to Rosanna. She laments that although she doesn't like Molly much, it's a free country and if she pays for the drink she can stay and pollute the atmosphere. "I'm not talking about aesthetics, Rosanna. I broke into that woman's home, for you. And it'll take a woman like Molly less time to figure that out than it'll take you to write a check," says Henry.

Molly tells Mike that she worked with "that scum of the earth" at WOAK, and he was the one responsible for organizing her dismissal from the show. "And I have no doubt he'd take Rosanna's money to do it to me one more time." Mike urges her to let it go, they've worked through it, it's over. "Henry and I haven't had the pleasure," says Molly as she heads over to the table.

"I see you found Oakdale's favorite bottom feeder," says Molly to Rosanna. "Speaking of feeding, I have a hungry parking meter right outside," says Henry as he tries to get up. "Not so fast, Henry," says Molly. "I want to know how you broke into my apartment, did you dress up as a housekeeper? Rosanna, don't let this guy anywhere near your closet because he has a thing for women's clothes." Rosanna says that she and Mr. Coleman were having a private conversation. Molly asks Henry if he was renegotiating his rate, and tells him he should ask for a big chunk of change for legal fees and bail, because he broke the law. She tells Rosanna she knows it was her idea to break into her apartment and snoop through her things. Rosanna notes that Mike is being awfully quiet, he probably didn't appreciate the details of his contract being broadcast to the town. "What I don't appreciate is your tactics," says Mike. Rosanna sarcastically agrees that that's the way she is. She asks Mike if anyone told him her latest discovery, that Carly cheated on Jack the night before her wedding.

Rosanna says that Carly's one night stand the night before marrying the man of her dreams is "vintage Carly." Molly tells Rosanna she just can't let go of the fact that Carly took something she wanted, that she couldn't hold onto Craig. So she has to go after Carly, her child, her career, her marriage. Molly suggests that Rosanna get a life, marriage and child of her own. Rosanna tells Molly she wasn't talking to her, she was talking to Mike, "or can't he speak for himself now that he's on the dole?" Mike does speak up and says, "You've got problems, Rosanna." Rosanna reminds him that he didn't use to think so, she used to be the only thing that mattered to him. "But that was before Carly put her tongue in your ear." Mike loses patience and yells that it's over. It wasn't about Carly then and it isn't about Carly now. It's about her need to dominate everything she touches, and he can't live like that. Rosanna says he's made himself very clear. "Good, let's go," says Mike as he and Molly storm off.

Rosanna is very upset and lost in thought. "Minion to dragon queen, hello!" calls Henry, trying to get her attention. "Hello, do you know what you just did? You failed to deny that I broke into Molly's place, you incriminated me in a felony," says the always sensitive Henry. "Take it easy, Henry, something important just happened."

Henry stacks his third empty martini glass on top of the other two. "Rosanna, we are up to our olives in crime here, OK? She's got us, we're going to the big house," he says. Rosanna isn't so worried. She tells him that honest people are very reliable, they like the truth. "It's like a pool of sunshine on a summer day." "Whatever you're having, I'll take six," says Henry. Rosanna laughs and tells him that the man who was just here is "the man that our bride, our favorite bride, slept with in the Monte Carlo offices the night before her wedding." "That's Mr. Fingerprints?" asks Henry. "Yes, that's Mr. Fingerprints," answers Rosanna gleefully.

>> Molly: Oh, my - [ Molly sees Henry walk in with Rosanna ]
>> Mike: What?
>> Molly: I just put two and two together.

[ Lakeview Lounge ]
[ At the Bar ]
>> Molly: You see that twerp hiding there behind his menu? His name is Henry Coleman. He would sell his mother for a martini. And the fact that he's sitting there with Rosanna tells me that he's the one who broke in my apartment and found that check to the burn unit.
[ At a Table ]
>> Henry: That's Molly McKinnon at the bar with her boyfriend.
>> Rosanna: Well, I don't care very much for her, it's true, but this is America. If she can pay for her drink, she's welcome to pollute the atmosphere.
>> Henry: I'm not talking about aesthetics, Rosanna I broke into that woman's home -- all right -- for you. And it would take a woman like Molly less time to figure that out than it would take for you to write a check.
[ At the Bar ]
>> Molly: I worked with that scum of the earth at WOAK. He's the one who engineered my dismissal from the show. And I have no doubt that he would take Rosanna's money and do it to me one more time.
>> Mike: Molly, let it go, all right? Even if she did hire your buddy over there, we already worked it out. It's fine.
>> Molly: Henry and I haven't yet had the pleasure.

[ Lakeview Lounge ]
>> Molly: Rosanna, I see you found Oakdale's favorite bottom feeder.
>> Henry: Ahh, speaking of feeding, I have a hungry parking meter right outside.
>> Molly: Yeah, sit down, Henry. Because I'm just a little curious how you broke in my apartment. Did you dress up as the housekeeper? Rosanna don't let this guy anywhere near your closet, because he has a thing for women's clothes.
>> Rosanna: Molly, if you don't mind, Mr. Coleman and I were having a private conversation.
>> Molly: Renegotiating your rate, Henry? Make sat you get a really big chunk of change for legal fees and bail, because -- guess what? You broke the law. You both did, because I have no doubt it was your idea to go snooping through my things.
>> Rosanna: Gee, you've been awfully quiet, not that Molly let's anyone get a word in edgewise. But I can't imagine that you'd appreciate having the details of your contract at the burn unit broadcasted all over Oakdale.
>> Mike: What I don't appreciate are your tactics.
>> Rosanna: Oh. Right. Really? Well, I guess that's just the way I am. It comes naturally to me, doesn't it? Molly, have you told Mike the latest? My sister Carly cheated on Jack the night before her wedding. Can you imagine? You're worried about me digging the truth? You shouldn't be. You should thank me. I might just save you a world of pain.

[ Lakeview Lounge ]
>> Rosanna: A one-night stand before she marries the man of her dreams? Can you imagine? But why am I surprised? That's vintage Carly If it itches, scratch it.
>> Molly: You just can't let it go, can you, Rosanna? Because Carly took something you wanted. Translation -- you couldn't hold onto him. But you don't want to look at it like that. It's just so much easier to go after Carly, go after her child, after her career, and now her marriage. Rosanna, why don't you get your own marriage, get your own child and leave the rest of us alone.
>> Rosanna: I wasn't talking to you, Molly, was I ? I was asking Mike. Or can he not speak himself now that he's on the dole?
>> Mike: You got problems.
>> Rosanna: You think so?
>> Mike: Yeah.
>> Rosanna: You didn't used to. In fact, I remember a time when I was all that mattered. What was it you called me? Your angel? Your lover? Oh, but then that was before Carly put her tongue in your ear.
>> Mike: [ Angrily gets in Rosanna's face ] It's over, Rosanna! Let it go! It didn't have anything to do with Carly then. It doesn't have anything to do with Carly now! This is pure you and this need that you have to dominate everything you touch. I cannot live like that, and I won't live like that! So get it through your head, we're done!

[ Lakeview Lounge ]
>> Rosanna: Well, you've made self clear.
>> Mike: Good. Let's go.
>> Molly: Yeah, I think we're done here.
>> Henry: Minion to dragon queen? Hello? Hello? Do you know what you just did? You failed to deny that I broke into Molly's apartment. You incriminated me in a felony.
>> Rosanna: For God's sake, take it easy, henry. Something important just happened.

[ Lakeview Lounge ]
>> Henry: Rosanna, we are up to our olives in crime here. Okay, she's got us. We're going to the big house.
>> Rosanna: Henry, people -- honest people -- are very reliable. Have you ever noticed? When you take them at face value, there it is -- the truth. It's beautiful. Like a pool of sunshine on a summer day.
>> Henry: Whatever you're having, I'll take six.
[ Rosanna laughs ]
>> Rosanna: Do you know that man who was here before?
>> Henry: Molly McKinnon's boyfriend?
>> Rosanna: Yes. Well, that may be his current title. But it won't be for long. That's irrelevant. That man, who's name is Mike, he's the man that our bride -- our favorite bride -- slept with in her Monte Carlo office the night before her wedding.
>> Henry: That's Mr. Fingerprints?
>> Rosanna: Yes. That's Mr. Fingerprints.
