Milton: "I'm sorry it's so early. I just...came to apologize."



Gabrielle: "Why? What happened wasn't your fault."



Milton: "That's not exactly the case. Is that coffee I smell?"



Later, the two of them are drinking coffee and talking.



Milton: "You only bolted because Victor wants to be governor. He only wants to be governor because of me."



Gabrielle: "You only suggested it. You can't make him go after something he doesn't want."



Milton: "The hell I can't. Ever since he was a kid, Victor's been killing himself trying to live up to his big shot father. He's desperate for my approval."



Gabrielle: "Why?"



Milton: "I suppose because he's never gotten it. Everything he does--even becoming mayor-- I somehow let him know that it's not quite enough. Oh...don't get me wrong. I'm right to push. That's why he's so successful."



Gabrielle: "So what are you saying, I should marry Victor because you're a withholding father?"



Milton: "No, I just want you to understand why he does what he does."



Gabrielle: "Fine. I get it. But why would I want a husband who values his father's opinion more than mine?"



Milton: "Well, he doesn't really care much what I think anymore. After you left last night, he called me and, uh...what's the phrase? Tore me a new one?"



Gabrielle: "He did?"



Milton: "He said because of me, he'd lost the best thing that had ever happened to him, and if he couldn't win you back, I could take my money and buy a new son, because I was never gonna be hearing from him again."



Gabrielle: "He blew off eighty million dollars? Well, if he cares about me so damn much, why am I not hearing this from him?"



Milton looks out the window behind Gabrielle.



Milton: "I think you're about to."



Victor is getting out of his car and carrying a bouquet of flowers.



Milton: "Is there a back way out of here?"



Later, he watches from his limo as Victor and Gabrielle talk on the porch, then hug each other.



EDIE'S HOUSE



Edie is dressed for the wedding. Carlos lounges on the couch.



Carlos: "Aren't you gonna be late for Gaby's wedding?"



Edie: "Oh, weddings are boring. I like to sneak in at the end, look teary-eyed and pretend I was there the whole time. I am gonna see you at the reception."



She opens the door and a neighbor kid is standing there.



Edie: "Oh! Uh, hi, Danny. Um...Carlos, the paperboy's here. Could you pay him? Come on in."



She leaves. Carlos pulls out his wallet.



Carlos: "Hey, here you go, Danny. Oh. Uh, looks like I'm a little short. Can I catch you later?"



Danny: "No."



Carlos: "Okay. Hold on."



He goes over to Edie's purse and opens it. He finds the birth control pills.



Carlos: "Oh, my god."



Danny: "What's that?"



Carlos: "It's birth control pills."



Danny: "I'm gonna need cash."



OUTSIDE BREE'S HOUSE



Orson and Bree are getting out of a cab in front of their house. Andrew comes out to greet them.



Andrew: "Hey, welcome home!"



Bree: "I have missed you, sweetheart!"



They hug and when they separate, Bree reaches down to pick up one of suitcases by her feet.



Andrew: "Oh, here, allow me."



Andrew picks up the suitcase. Julie comes over from across the street.



Bree: "Well, hello there, Julie."



Julie: "You guys are back!"



Bree: "Wow, somebody's...blonder."



Julie: "Oh, yeah, my mom hates it, too. So where's Danielle?"



Bree: "Well, um, while we were in Switzerland, she ran across this boarding school, and she fell in love with it and just insisted that we let her spend a year abroad."



Julie: "Wow. She must be having a really good time. She hasn't returned any of my phone calls."



Andrew: "Oh, well, um, you know, her school's up in the mountains, and--and her cell phone reception is kind of funky."



Julie: "She hasn't answered my e-mails, either."



Bree: "Well, I am gonna call her tonight and have a little talk with her about common courtesy, and I'm sure that you will get an e-mail first thing tomorrow morning. Well, we should go. I've got to get that bracelet to Gaby before the wedding."



Julie: "Well, I'll see you guys there. Bye."



Julie walks away.



Orson: "Well, that was uncomfortable."



Andrew: "You have no idea. Everyone's been asking questions."



Bree: "This might not be as easy as we'd hoped."



DRESSING ROOM



Back to the present, Gabrielle puts on the bracelet Bree gave her.



Bree: "There. Now you have something new."



Gabrielle: "So how do I look?"



Lynette: "You are now officially the most beautiful bride that ever lived."



Lynette looks at Susan.



Lynette: "Until your wedding, of course."



Susan: "Nice save."



Gabrielle: "It means so much to me that we're all here together right now."



Gabrielle clasps all of their hands together.



Susan: "And...break!"



They let go of each other's hands.



WEDDING



Gabrielle and Victor are at the altar. Edie is standing in the very back, drinking champagne.



Reverend: "We are gathered here today to join together Victor Lang and Gabrielle Marquez in matrimony--an honorable estate not to be entered in lightly, but reverently and soberly. This is a lifetime union-- one based on love, honor and trust..."



Edie stops a waiter who's walking by.



Edie: "You wanna be my new best friend? Premium scotch. Keep it coming."



At the alter...



Reverend: "You are promising not only to give of yourself, but also to accept each other, promising not only to love for today, but to extend that love to include..."



Carlos storms over to Edie.



Edie: "Carlos! I thought you weren't coming until after--"



Carlos: "Save it..."



He holds up the birth control pills.



Edie: "Okay, look, I can explain--"



Carlos: "Don't bother! Your lies were more convincing when I cared."



At the alter...



Reverend: "Victor, do you take Gabrielle..."



Edie runs after Carlos.



Edie: "Carlos! You've got to understand. I do wanna have a baby with you, just not yet. I...I just--I wanted to give you a chance to fall in love with me first."



Carlos: "I don't believe you, and I will never trust you again!"



Edie: "Well, what was I supposed to do? You backed me into a corner, and you were gonna bail on us, and I was just trying to save what we had. Carlos, don't leave me...please just talk to me."



Carlos: "I am done with you."



Edie: "Carlos!"



At the alter...



Reverend: "Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Victor Lang."



Edie starts to cry.



Edie: "I'm sorry!"



WEDDING RECEPTION



Everyone is mingling. Mrs. McCluskey comes up to Gabrielle.



Gabrielle: "Mrs. McCluskey! Enjoy the wedding?"



Mrs. McCluskey: "Nice. Very classy. Although what the hell was that brouhaha between Carlos and Edie?"



Gabrielle: "I don't know and I don't care. Today, I'm so filled with love, I can forgive anyone anything. Oh, um, but if you do see them again, call security."



She walks off and goes over to the table where Bree, Orson, Susan, and Lynette are sitting.



Bree: "So we're in Zurich, and I was sick after breakfast for the third morning in a row. And I thought to myself, dear god, I hope I have not developed an allergy to chocolate brioche. Life just wouldn't be worth living."



Orson: "So I said, that's it. We're seeing a doctor. Well, you could've knocked us over with a feather when he said she was already two months pregnant."



Lynette: "Aw, I think it's so great, and we could not be happier for you. When's your due date?"



Bree: "Oh, not until the early fall, but enough about me. This is your day--you and Victor--who, by the way, I have not met yet."



Gabrielle: "Oh, my gosh, that's right. Okay, you stay here. I'm gonna go grab him."



She leaves.



Bree: "It is so good to be back. I can't believe how much is happening. I mean, you and Gaby getting married, and I'm having a baby. What's going on with you, Lynette?"



Lynette: "Nothing. Same old, same old."



Susan: "Really? Is everything okay, sweetie? 'Cause you haven't quite seemed yourself the last couple weeks."



Lynette: "I'm fine. Everything's just fine."



INSIDE THE HOUSE



Gabrielle finds Victor talking with Milton inside one of the rooms. She stops outside the door, listening.



Victor: "I'll tell you this much--I'm exhausted. I'll be glad when this day is over."



Milton: "Well, it was all worth it. Marrying Gaby is the smartest thing you've ever done. With her bringing in the Latino vote, the governor's mansion's as good as yours."



Victor: "Well, that's assuming I can change her mind. I had to make certain concessions just to get her down the aisle."



Milton: "You're the husband now. The rules have changed. Be nice, buy her a few pretty things. Trust me, you'll be able to tame that little spitfire."



Victor: "I'm not too worried. I've always been able to manage my assets."



Gabrielle goes back outside and runs into Bree.



Bree: "Did you find him?"



Gabrielle: "No, I'm still looking, but I'll let you know."



LYNETTE'S HOUSE



The kids are watching a movie on TV while Stella reads a magazine on the couch.



Stella: "Oh, movie's over. And may I add...amen. Go out and play. Go on, go on. Out!"



The boys run outside, but Kayla stays behind.



Kayla: "They're just gonna go play guns. Can I watch another movie?"



Stella: "Oh, Lynette said one was the limit, and she'll be home soon. "



Kayla: "No, she won't. Whenever they go out to a party, they always come home at least an hour later than they say they will."



Stella: "Aren't you an observant little monkey? Tell me, sweetie...would you know anything about a man named Rick?"



Kayla: "Yeah, I know Rick. My daddy and Lynette had a big fight about him."



Stella: "Really? Sounds like there's maybe a little story there."



Kayla: "If I tell you, could I watch a really good grown-up movie?"



Stella: "If it's a really good grown-up story."



WEDDING RECEPTION



Susan walks over to Mike, holding a plate of food. She puts it down in front of him.



Susan: "Okay, I got you some appetizers to tide you over. We have mini quiches and beef satay and something called Crystal Coast shrimp with grits, but it's mostly just grits 'cause I ate all the shrimp on my way over. Mike?"



She sees that Mike is sleeping. She leaves the table and goes over to the Reverend.



Susan: "Reverend, that was such a beautiful ceremony. Really, just heartfelt and moving--the whole package."



Reverend: "Why, thank you."



Susan: "Yeah, it was really impressive. So what are you doing tonight?"



GAZEBO



Gabrielle goes into the gazebo and sees Carlos there, slouching on the couch and drinking champagne.



Gabrielle: "Oh, Carlos. Didn't know you were in here."



Carlos: "I got a little thirsty."



Gabrielle: "Yes. I can see that."



She sits down next to him.



Carlos: "Gaby, I am sorry if I ruined your wedding. But if it's any consolation, I also ruined my life."



Gabrielle: "What are you talking about?"



Carlos: "A couple years ago, I was totally happy. I had a home, you, a great career. And I don't understand how I let it all go to hell. And now here I am, back at square one. I really blew it. Ah, what am I doing? I shouldn't be dumping this on you. It's your wedding day. Go to Victor. I'm gonna stay right here--"



Gabrielle reaches over, grabs Carlos, and begins kissing him. They fall back onto the couch together.



LYNETTE'S HOUSE



Lynette comes downstairs to where Stella is.



Lynette: "Well, I don't know how you did it. The kids are asleep, and the cough syrup hasn't been touched."



Stella: "Boy, you're just waiting for an excuse to give me the boot."



Lynette: "Well, if history's any indicator, I won't have to wait long."



Stella: "So you don't think people can change?"



Lynette: "I think at a certain point, people just are who they are."



Stella: "Well, I think people can change. Now take you. You were the perfect wife and mom...then along came Rick."



Lynette: "How did you-"



Stella: "Come on, Lynette. You kids were young when I was sneaking around on Glen, but you knew something was up."



Lynette: "You heard about this from my kids?"



Stella: "Just the girl, and all she knows is that daddy got mad because Rick liked you."



Lynette: "Nothing happened between me and Rick. Yes, he came on to me, but unlike you, I controlled myself."



Stella: "Well, you had Tom to come home to. I had your stepfather."



Lynette: "Hey, Glen may have bored you, but the years we had a father in that house were the happiest in my life. You didn't care about that, though, did you? You just drove him away."



Stella: "And you couldn't wait to pay me back. Do you remember what you said the next year when I got sick?"



Lynette: "No I don't."



Stella: "Liar. You said I earned it. It was God's punishment. How are you feeling now, Lynette? You think you're being punished?"



Lynette: "How can you say that?"



Stella: "You were so sanctimonious. You could not imagine what sort of woman could do that kind of thing. Not so hard to imagine now, is it?"



Lynette: "Stop comparing us. I never did what you did."



Stella: "No, you just wanted to."



Lynette: "You're leaving tomorrow. I don't want your money. I don't want you in my house."



Stella: "Hey. You are sick, Lynette. You think you know what you're in for 'cause you watched me go through it? Watching it is nothing. You are going to feel worse than you thought a person could feel, and I'll be holding your hand through every damn minute."



Lynette: "You can't stay if I don't want you here."



Stella: "You can fight me or you can fight the cancer. Trust me, you won't have the strength to do both."



BREE'S HOUSE



Bree is sitting up in bed, with her laptop in front of her typing an e-mail to Julie from Danielle's account.



Bree: "Andrew?"



Andrew comes into the room.



Bree: "Do young people still say awesome?"



Andrew: "Not so much. Um, try off the hook."



Bree: "Off the hook? That doesn't even make sense."



Andrew: "Fine, type in groovy. See if I care."



Andrew leaves. The phone rings. Bree answers.



Bree: "Hello? Hodge residence. Oh, hi, Danielle. Listen, I am sending Julie Mayer an e-mail from you. Now would you say that your school was off the hook?"



Danielle: "Uh, no. I would say it was sucky or crappy or a freaking nightmare."



Bree: "Look, if you're gonna start complaining, I'm going to hang up."



Danielle: "Mom, you have got to talk to the nuns. They are so harsh with me, and they have all these stupid rules."



Bree: "Well, perhaps if some of those rules had been in place when you took up with Edie's nephew, you might not be in this little pickle."



Danielle: "Mom, please, I just wanna come home."



Bree: "Look, I am gonna say this one last time. You are gonna stay put until that baby is born. Now don't forget, we're driving up this weekend, and I am bringing your favorite--lemon squares, and--"



Danielle hangs up. Orson comes into the room.



Orson: "Darling...can I draw you a bath?"



Bree: "That would be lovely."



Orson: "Oh, would you give me a hand, please?"



She turns her back and Orson unties the fake pregnancy pillow that Bree had strapped around her.



Orson: "There you go. It's almost time for the six-month size."



Bree: "Oh, don't remind me."



SUSAN'S HOUSE - MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT



Mike is on his cell phone.



Mike: "No. No, it's no problem. I can fix that for you. Just, um, give me your name and address."



Woman on Phone: "I'm Mrs. Emmeline Walcott, and I'm at Forty-Two Old Mill Road."



Mike: "All right, I gotta stop and pick up a douglas valve, but, uh, I should be there in forty-five minutes tops."



He hangs up.



Susan: "I hate to see you drive when you're this tired."



Mike: "There's some iced coffee in the fridge. I'll be fine. See you when I get back."



He leaves. Susan gets out of bed and goes into Julie's room. Julie is sitting on her bed, holding the phone.



Susan: "You were great."



Julie: "Did y'all ever doubt I would be?"



Susan: "Just hurry up and get dressed. We only have forty-five minutes."



DARK ROAD



Mike is driving down the road when a man steps out in front of him. Mike stops and the man walks over to him. It's the Reverend.



Reverend: "Are you Mike?"



Mike: "Yeah. I'm looking for a Mrs. Walcott's house."



Reverend: "You've come to the right place. Here, put this on."



He shows Mike a suit that has a note on it: Wear Me. Love, Susan.



Later, Mike and the Reverend are walking through the woods.



Mike: "You mind telling me what Susan's up to?"



Reverend: "Ask her yourself."



He gestures in front of them and Mike sees Susan in a wedding dress underneath a beautiful wedding altar. Chinese lanterns are hanging on trees and Julie is standing there.



Mike: "Are you sure about this? I don't want you to look back and regret not having your perfect wedding."



Susan: "Well, I don't know if you've noticed, but my idea of the perfect wedding keeps changing. One day, I want white roses, and then I want lilies, and first, I want a harpist, and then a string quartet. Only one thing stays constant...and I'm looking at him. Why would I need anything else to make my wedding perfect?"



Mike: "Well, who knew downsizing could be so romantic?"



Susan: "Yeah."



Mike looks at Julie.



Mike: "Uh, Mrs. Walcott, I presume?"



Julie: "That's right, sugar."



Susan: "Oh, you might wanna check that breast pocket of your suit."



Mike pulls out a small envelope. Inside are two wedding rings.



Susan: "And just so you know, you'll be paying for those and the lights and the flowers."



Mike: "I've never seen you look so beautiful."



Susan: "You clean up pretty good yourself."



Reverend: "Are we ready?"



Julie: "Are you kidding? They've been dragging this thing out for three years."



Reverend: "We are gathered here today to join together Mike Delfino and Susan Mayer in matrimony--an honorable estate not to be entered into lightly, but reverently and soberly..."



Later, Susan and Mike clink their champagne glasses together, then the two of them and Julie lean in together for a picture.



Mary Alice: "Family--there is nothing more important."



LYNETTE'S HOUSE



Stella is cleaning up the living room while Lynette watches from around the corner.



Mary Alice: "They're the ones who show up when we're in trouble..."



GABRIELLE'S HOUSE



Victor is talking with Milton in the living room while Gabrielle watches from around the corner.



Mary Alice: "...the ones who push us to succeed..."



BREE'S HOUSE



Bree hangs up her pregnancy padding in the closet while Orson watches her.



Mary Alice: "...the ones who help keep our secrets."



EDIE'S HOUSE



Edie puts down her glass next to a card on the table that reads "To My Beloved Carlos."



Mary Alice: "But what of those who have no family to rely on? What happens to those poor souls...who have no loved ones to help them in their hour of need? Well...most learn to walk life's road by themselves."



She takes off her scarf and drapes it over a beam. She stands on a chair, and then steps off the chair, ending up dangling from the ceiling.



Mary Alice: "But a sad few of us...simply...stop trying."
