Lynette: "Okay, okay, can I just mention you're talking like a crazy person?"



Tom: "You can't give it up for a second, can you? You always have to call the shots. Always."



Lynette: "Is this about me being your boss again? You gotta get over it."



Tom: "That's exactly my point. Exactly. You are not just my boss at the office. You're my boss everywhere."



Lynette: "Oh, that's ridiculous."



Tom: "You run the show. You run the show, and I'm along for the ride. I just push the little shopping cart, let the woman do all the driving."



Lynette: "Tom..."



Tom: "I'm the caddy husband. I carry your clubs."



Lynette: "I am so sorry you feel that way, but you cannot put that on me. This is your life. You wanna run it? Then step on up. You wanna drive? Grab the steering wheel. I mean, what else am I supposed to say?"



Tom: "I'm gonna check on the kids."



Tom walks out. Lynette lies down.



Hospital Room



Nurse Hisel walks into Susan's room.



Nurse Hisel: "Time to check your blood pressure."



Susan: "Oh, sure. Oh, that's a little tight. Does it have to be that tight?"



Nurse Hisel: "Yes."



Susan: "Oh. Okay. Ow, ow. That's actually starting to be painful."



Nurse Hisel: "Really? That surprises me. I just assumed you were dead inside."



Susan: "Ow! Ow!"



Susan rips the cuff off and jumps out of bed.



Susan: "What the hell are you doing?"



Nurse Hisel: "I told myself to stay out of this, but I can't. I know that you're married."



Susan: "I am not!"



Nurse Hisel: "Really? Hmm, 'cause that man that came to see you yesterday, he said you're his wife."



Susan: "Oh! Yeah, oh, no, no, he just said that 'cause we used to be married. It's just a force of habit."



Nurse Hisel: "Oh, that explains everything. Except that I checked your insurance forms and you're still married. So that makes you a lying, adulterous skunk."



Nurse Hisel walks out of the room. Susan tries to follow but is connected to the I.V.



Susan: "Oh, no. No, no. No, no, Nurse Hisel. Ow, ow, ow, ow! Ow."



Susan rips the tube from the IV sack. Liquid pours out.



Susan: "Nurse Hisel! Ugh! Nurse, oh!"



Susan is still connected to a monitor. She rips out the plug, picks up the monitor and runs after the nurse.



Susan: "Nurse Hisel, I can explain."



Nurse Hisel: "Can you, skank?"



Susan: "Yes. Okay. I am married, but it's only because my insurance ran out. My ex-husband has a really good coverage plan, so he said that he would remarry me so I could get my operation. Only I didn't wanna tell Dr. Ron 'cause I didn't want him to be an accomplice to fraud."



Nurse Hisel: "So you're what? Protecting him?"



Susan: "Yeah. It, yes, I am."



Nurse Hisel: "Okay. As long as you're not two-timing him. He feels so strongly about you."



Susan: "I know. I read the card."



Nurse Hisel: "But did you read between the lines?"



Susan: "What do you mean?"



Nurse Hisel: "Okay, I shouldn't be telling you this, but when we were picking out the flowers for you, he said that he was working up the courage to say he loves you."



Susan: "Really?"



Nurse Hisel: "Yes! But you have to act surprised, okay?"



Susan: "Oh, yeah, I'll be surprised. So, I guess we have the whole insurance thing worked out."



Nurse Hisel: "Oh! Don't worry about that. Please. Who am I to cast stones? I mean, heck, I didn't pass my nurse's exam. They didn't even ask me!"



Bree's House



Bree comes downstairs to find a man in the living room.



Bree: "Andrew, did I hear the bell? Oh, hello."



Samuel: "I'm Samuel Bormanis. I'm here to see Andrew."



Bree: "Oh, okay. Are you a friend of Andrew's?"



Samuel: "I'm his lawyer."



Bree: "His lawyer? Well, why on Earth would Andrew need a lawyer?"



Andrew enters the room. His face has several bruises on it.



Andrew: "Here you go, Sam."



Bree: "Honey, what happened to, to your face?"



Andrew: "You hit me. Don't you remember?"



Bree's Dining Room



They are all sitting around the table.



Bree: "For the record, I did not punch my son. I slapped him with an open palm."



Andrew: "Yeah, but, mom, the thing is, when you drink, you don't know your own strength."



Bree: "This is ridiculous. Can't you see this is a performance?"



Samuel: "Mrs. Van de Kamp, I've heard enough. Clearly, this environment is a highly dysfunctional one. Andrew has retained my services in order to pursue a healthier living situation."



Bree: "And what might that be?"



Andrew: "I, um, I wanna be emancipated."



Bree: "Emancipated?"



Samuel: "As an emancipated minor, Andrew would be able to live on his own. He'd still go to school, of course, but he'd be released from all adult supervision."



Bree: "Well, that's the silliest thing I've ever heard of. How would he support himself?"



Samuel: "Well, he'd be in complete control of his own finances."



Bree: "So that's what this is about? Your trust fund?"



Samuel: "Obviously, we'd all prefer not to go to family court, but with the violence and your D.U.I. charge, it could get ugly."



Bree: "Uh, Mr. Bormanis, I'll need a little time to think about this."



Samuel: "You have twenty-four hours."



Adoption Agency



Carlos and Gabrielle are looking through a photo album. The pictures are of them playing with the Scavo kids.



Carlos: "Boy, it really looks like we're having a good time. I sure hope this works."



Gabrielle: "As long as they don't make me play guitar, I think we're home free."



Secretary: "Mr. And Mrs. Solis, Rhoda can see you now."



As they go into Rhoda's office, Helen Rowland, John's mother, comes out of the office next to Rhoda. She watches as they go into Rhoda's office.



Rhoda's Office



Rhoda is looking through the photo album.



Rhoda: "Wow! It looks like you spend lots of time with these kids."



Carlos: "Oh, we take our roles as godparents very seriously. Don't we, honey?"



Gabrielle: "Mm-hmm. Yes."



Rhoda: "Oh, they're precious. What are their names?"



Gabrielle: "Parker and, uh, Porter, uh, and, uh, well, they're all P's. It is super cute."



Helen stands in the doorway.



Rhoda: "One sec. Do you need me, Helen?"



Helen walks into the room.



Helen: "Hello, Gabrielle. Carlos. I didn't know you were adopting."



Gabrielle: "Preston! The other one's name is Preston."



Carlos: "Helen, you work here?"



Rhoda: "You all know each other? What a small world."



Helen: "It sure is. Mrs. Solis hired my son to do her yard work. And also, she would rape him."



Gabrielle: "Okay, first of all it was statutory and it happened so long ago."



Helen: "Was it? I think it was only about a year ago. No, it was a year, because it was right before your husband went to prison on slave labor charges."



Helen picks up the Solis file from Rhoda's desk.



Helen: "Rhoda, if you don't mind, I think I'll handle the Solis case myself. I'd like to make it my top priority."



Rhoda: "Okay."



Helen: "Oh, and, um, Gabrielle, don't bother trying to contact any other adoption agencies in the area. I'll make sure they know all about you."



Hospital Room



Lynette is visiting Susan.



Susan: "I think I have to break up with Dr. Ron."



Lynette: "What? Why?"



Susan: "Because he's a gem. And apparently he loves me."



Lynette: "I'm sorry. I'm not following."



Susan: "Lynette, he is everything I could possibly want in a boyfriend, and I just don't know if I feel that spark. You know, and I really want to."



Lynette: "Aw, sweetie."



Susan: "And he keeps telling me how special I am and how much I mean to him, how he wants to hold my beating heart in his hand.



Lynette: "Ew."



Susan: "Mmm. Maybe it's because I just haven't felt that thunderbolt yet. You know, with Mike, it hit me. With Karl, it hit me. I didn't have to worry about how I felt because the thunderbolt told me."



Lynette: "Yeah, yeah. Gotta love the thunderbolt."



Susan: "Do I, though? I mean, I do. But I don't trust it anymore. You know, those relationships turned out to be disasters. Maybe I should stick it out with Dr. Ron and I should try heading down a road that's growing and slower into a sort of kind of love that would sustain itself for fifty years. Right? Stability, comfort, endurance. I deserve that."



Lynette: "Oh, yes! Of course you do. Still, you gotta love the thunderbolt."



Susan: "That's not helpful."



Lynette: "Sorry."



Gabrielle's House - Nighttime



Carlos: "Ah, this is a sign."



Gabrielle: "Will you shut up?"



Carlos: "We lost a baby, found out we can't conceive another one, and ran into Helen Rowland at an adoption agency. God is obviously trying to tell us something."



Gabrielle: "Carlos, we're Catholics, okay? God is pretty Johnny One Note on the whole subject of procreation. Hey, and will you stop with this defeatist attitude? Okay, do you want a baby or not?"



Carlos: "I think it's time that we faced reality. We're bad people and we probably don't even deserve to be parents."



Gabrielle: "Well, then who the hell does? I mean, look at all the idiots popping out kids. Okay, they're not any more qualified than we are."



Carlos: "I don't know."



Gabrielle: "Look, Carlos. It doesn't matter what we've done in our past. Being a parent means rising to the occasion, and that's exactly what we're gonna do when we bring our baby home."



Carlos: "This is the first time I really felt like you wanted to have a baby."



Gabrielle: "Well, this is the first time someone told me I couldn't have one."



Carlos: "Okay, so what are we gonna do? I mean, no adoption agency is gonna touch us now."



Gabrielle: "There are ways to get babies, Carlos. It just might cost us."



Mary Alice's House - Nighttime



Mike: "I have some contacts in the police department. I've been making calls, but I can't seem to get a straight answer about your dad."



Zach: "I don't understand. How do they just lose somebody?"



Mike: "They don't, not by accident. But I don't think what happened to your dad was an accident."



Zach: "What's that supposed to mean?"



The doorbell rings. Zach rushes toward the door.



Mike: "Zach!"



He puts his hand on his gun and Zach opens the door to reveal Felicia Tilman standing there, holding a tray of food.



Zach: "Mrs. Tilman."



Felicia: "Hello, Zachary. You look terrible. Oh, Mr. Delfino. Isn't this just a picture?"



Mike: "Felicia, why are you here?"



Felicia: "Young Zachary and I didn't exactly part on the best of terms."



She turns her head and her neck cracks.



Felicia: "In fact, when the weather's damp, I'm still reminded of our last good-bye. But forgive and forget. That's my motto. Macaroon?"



A police car pulls up in front of the Young house. A battered Paul gets out. Felicia looks shocked.



Flashback - Police Van



The two prisoners are fighting with Paul. Paul begins fighting back. A uniformed officer runs to the van and opens the door. Paul and one of the guys fall out.



Present Day - Outside Mary Alice's House



Zach runs out and hugs his father. Felicia stares at Paul in shock.



Zach: "Dad! You all right?"



Paul and Zach walk back to the house. Paul takes a macaroon from Felicia's tray.



Paul: "Now how did you know I love macaroons?"



Paul's Living Room



Mike: "It won't end here, you know. Noah Taylor doesn't give up."



Paul: "Don't worry about us. We'll be gone by morning."



Mike: "No, it's too late for that now. I guarantee he's got people watching you."



Paul: "What is it with you anyway? First, you want me to run. Now you want us to stick around like sitting ducks for this maniac."



Mike: "Go ahead. Run. Noah's got the cops in his pocket. What do you think it's gonna happen the first time you try to buy gas with a credit card or open a new bank account?"



Paul: "So, I'm a dead man."



Mike: "Maybe not. Not if we use what leverage we have."



Paul: "No way."



Mike: "The old man's gonna be dead in a couple of months, maybe less. Let him meet Zach, play the doting grandfather."



Paul: "I said forget it."



Zach, on the stairs, overhears them and comes down.



Zach: "I'll do it. If it means he'll leave us alone, I'm ready to be leveraged."



Advertising Agency



Lynette and Tom are in the elevator.



Lynette: "Nicholson will be coming in in about fifteen minutes with a pitch, so let's grab everybody and make sure we're all on the same page."



The elevator door opens and Lynette starts to walk out, but Tom grabs her arm and pulls her back in.



Tom: "Hang on a second."



He pushes the 'stop' button on the elevator.



Lynette: "What's going on?"



Tom: "I need to say this."



Lynette: "Ah, yeah..."



Tom: "I have been giving you a lot of grief lately about being the boss. But it's just hard for a guy to feel like he's not in charge of any part of his life."



Lynette: "But, honey, it goes back and forth."



Tom: "I know. But it just feels a little one-sided lately and sometimes I need to drive the train. But, look, I know it is my issue. It's my issue and I will step up and deal with it."



Tom begins to kiss Lynette passionately. He starts undressing Lynette.



Lynette: "Mmm. Whoa. Hello. What's going on, huh?"



Tom: "Picking up where we left off. Last night."



Lynette: "Oh, I get it. I get it. Ooh! This is your idea of driving the train. And it's very manly and really impressive, but it's really, really bad timing. You can't be serious. Mmm. We're gonna, we're gonna be late."



Tom: "Yeah, we are going to be late."



Lynette: "Okay."



Attorney's Office



Attorney: "There is nothing more important than family. And I think it's so unfair some are denied their god-given right to parent just because of a few sordid incidents in their past. Now I may have to explore some unconventional paths to find your child. I might even have to take action some might view as unsavory. But before I do, I need proof that the two of you are prepared to face the challenges ahead."



Gabrielle pulls a check out of her purse and hands it to him.



Gabrielle: "Twenty-thousand dollars. Is that proof enough for you?"



Attorney: "Yes, it is."



Noah's House



A nurse leads Mike and Zach in to see Noah.



Noah: "Nice to meet you, young man."



Zach: "I'm not gonna hug you. I don't care if you are my grandfather."



Noah: "Ah. That's okay. Hugging's not really my thing. Mike, could you wait outside? I'd like to be alone with Zachary."



Mike: "Not a chance."



Zach: "Just curious, why was it so important you see me?"



Noah: "You're my grandson, my flesh and blood. Isn't it only natural I'd want a relationship with you?"



Zach: "What kind of relationship can we have when I know you tried to kill my dad?"



Noah: "Surely, you can understand the rage I must feel towards your father."



Zach: "Go ahead. Feel all the rage you wanna feel. But if anything happens to him, I swear to god you are never gonna see me again."



Noah: "You only met me two minutes ago, and here you are, already blackmailing me. I couldn't be prouder."



Zach: "I'm serious. I want you to swear you're not gonna do anything to my dad."



Noah: "Which dad? You have two of 'em."



Zach pauses.



Zach: "You know who I'm talking about. My dad, the man who raised me, the only man I'm ever gonna care about. So swear."



Noah: "I swear. Well, now that the ground rules have been set, who's up for some meaningless small talk?"



Zach looks at Mike, who turns away.



Hospital Waiting Room



Karl is sitting reading the paper. Mike walks in with flowers.



Karl: "Well, if it isn't the plumber. You here to see Susan?"



Mike: "Uh, yeah, I just wanted to talk to her before her operation."



Karl: "You're cutting it kinda close. She's just about to be wheeled into surgery. You know, she's dating her surgeon."



Mike: "Yeah, she told me. You met him?"



Karl: "Yeah. He's, like, six years old. Those for her?"



Mike: "Yeah. The florist was having a sale on lilacs."



Karl: "Dr. Ron just bought her the biggest bouquet of roses you've ever seen. It was disgusting. And the note that went with it made my teeth hurt, it was so saccharin. He used words like soul mate and eternity. I almost puked in the vase."



Mike: "What'd Susan think about that?"



Karl: "She seemed to be really into it."



Susan is being wheeled out of her room on a gurney. She sees Mike in the waiting room.



Susan (groggy): "Mike! Oh, wait, stop! Go back! Stop! Stop a second. Hey! What are you doing here?"



Mike: "I just, uh, wanted to wish you luck before your surgery."



Susan: "Aw, that's so sweet. You came all the way down here just for me."



Mike: "Yep. That's why I came."



Susan: "Oh, it means a lot to me that you came."



Mike: "Well, you take care, Susan."



Susan: "Okay. Bye."



They wheel Susan away.



Karl: "You forgot to give her your flowers."



Mike: "Ah, it's no big deal."



Operating Room



Dr. Ron: "Hi, Susan. How are those drugs working for you? You feeling good?"



Susan: "Super-duper. How you feeling?"



Dr. Ron: "Well, um, you know I want you to know, what I said the other day, that corny stuff about me holding your heart in my hands, well, what I meant to say was, my feelings for you, they keep growing, and, uh, I think, well, I hope that you feel the same way about me. Ah, hell, Susan. I love you."



Susan: "Aw, thank you. I love Mike."



Dr. Ron: "Mike? Susan, who's Mike?"



Susan: "Mike is love."



Dr. Ron: "Who the hell is Mike?"



Nurse Hisel: "I don't know, but she's married to a guy named Karl. I'm so, so sorry. I should've told you, Dr. Ron."



Susan: "Mmm, Mike, Mike, Mike..."



Nurse Hisel: "Oh, why are you always falling in love with skunks? You beautiful, beautiful man!"



As she runs from the room crying, Dr Cunningham walks in.



Dr. Cunningham: "Okay, ready to go here?"



Dr. Ron: "Yeah. Sure. Let's cut this bitch open."



Bree's Kitchen



Bree is emptying bottles of wine into the sink.



Andrew: "What are you doing?"



Bree: "Your lawyer left a message on my machine. It seems we have a hearing in four weeks and I wanna be ready."



Andrew: "Oh, I get it. So, uh, so you're gonna pretend to be sober for the judge?"



Bree: "Oh, there's no pretending. I am going to my first A.A. meeting tomorrow. Of course, I picked one in the worst part of town so I won't run into anybody I know. Which, of course, means I will."



Andrew: "All right, so what is that gonna prove?"



Bree: "Perception is reality, Andrew. And if people perceive me to have a drinking problem, then I do. And I certainly don't want some idiotic judge using my hobby as an excuse to make you rich. So I'm simply going to give up my wine and become a recovering alcoholic."



Andrew: "Good plan, but it'll never work. See, I'll bet you still end up coming to court hammered."



Bree: "Oh, Andrew, you don't think I love you enough to give up alcohol?"



Andrew: "Look, I'm seventeen, all right? So, you can only keep me here for another year. Why not just let me go?"



Bree: "Because I'm not done with you yet. It's my job to teach you and you are not half the man I know you can be."



Andrew: "Yeah, well, I got news for you. This is as good as I'm gonna get."



Bree: "If I really thought that, I'd get a gun right now and kill us both."



Andrew: "Mom, we're both so unhappy. Why not just let me take my trust fund and I'll get out of your hair forever? Please."



Bree shakes her head no.



Andrew: "You're a stone cold bitch, you know that?"



He turns and walks out. Bree throws a bottle of wine at the refrigerator where it shatters. Andrew turns around, looking shocked.



Bree: "I'm sorry. I didn't quite catch that."



Andrew: "I hate you."



Bree: "You know, the opposite of love isn't hate. It's indifference. And if you hate me, that means you still care and we're still connected and I still have a chance to set you right."



Andrew walks out of the room.



"This is how Bree van de Kamp finally came to change her weekly routine."



Bree takes a dustpan and broom and sweeps up the glass.



"She still cleaned on Tuesdays..."



Bree's Dining Room



Bree is at her dining room table paying her bills.



"...paid her bills on Wednesdays..."



Bree's Laundry Room



Bree picks up a laundry basket full of clothes.



"...and did her laundry on Thursdays."



Outside Bree's House



Bree gets into her car.



"But her Fridays were now reserved for a meeting."



Room



Bree sits in a circle with a group of people in a large room.



"A special meeting where she stood in front of people she didn't know..."



Bree: "My name is Bree and I am an alcoholic."



"...and said things she didn't believe."



Bree's House



Bree moves some boxes on a high shelf and takes a hidden bottle of wine down. She pours a glass and drinks.



"And afterwards, Bree would come home and reward herself on the completion of another successful week."
