It's our neighbourhood. And we have
rules against this sort of thing.

Well, it was Mary Alice,
but as you may have heard...

38
00:01:46,351 --> 00:01:50,188
Yes, very tragic. So we haven't
had a president in four years?

39
00:01:50,230 --> 00:01:52,816
No one would volunteer.
It's a pain-in-the-ass job.

40
00:01:52,858 --> 00:01:54,400
I'll volunteer.

41
00:01:54,442 --> 00:01:56,193
If we can hold an election
in the next couple of days,

42
00:01:56,235 --> 00:01:59,196
I can get rid of this tinfoil atrocity
by the weekend.

43
00:01:59,238 --> 00:02:00,698
Okay, before we become an ugly mob,

44
00:02:00,740 --> 00:02:02,949
why doesn't one of us
go talk to the guys.

45
00:02:02,991 --> 00:02:05,035
But not me. They hate me.

46
00:02:06,036 --> 00:02:08,704
Bree, you talk to them.
You can relate to them.

47
00:02:08,746 --> 00:02:09,955
Why would you say that?

48
00:02:09,997 --> 00:02:11,790
You've got a kid who came
flying out of the closet

49
00:02:11,832 --> 00:02:14,126
and a husband who's been
looking for the doorknob.

50
00:02:16,502 --> 00:02:19,172
- What? You've met him.
- They're coming.

51
00:02:23,759 --> 00:02:24,926
Morning, ladies.

52
00:02:24,968 --> 00:02:28,930
Hi. We were just talking
about your sculpture.

53
00:02:28,972 --> 00:02:31,432
That's what I love about art,
the way it provokes discussion.

54
00:02:31,474 --> 00:02:35,019
Although it would have been nice
if you had discussed it with us.

55
00:02:35,061 --> 00:02:37,104
What, you don't like it?

56
00:02:37,521 --> 00:02:40,940
- Well, we're not saying that.
- It's just a little...

57
00:02:42,484 --> 00:02:44,903
- It's an eyesore.
- Really?

58
00:02:45,487 --> 00:02:49,114
You hear that, Bob?
We flew to Finland and paid $24,000

59
00:02:49,156 --> 00:02:50,449
to commission an eyesore.

60
00:02:50,491 --> 00:02:52,284
I don't mind it.

61
00:02:52,326 --> 00:02:55,536
- Not to brag, but I went to art school.
- Community college.

62
00:02:55,578 --> 00:02:58,206
And they taught us
that art is subjective.

63
00:03:00,041 --> 00:03:01,792
Thank you, Susan.

64
00:03:01,833 --> 00:03:03,919
Susan's need for approval aside,

65
00:03:03,961 --> 00:03:06,964
this clearly is not appropriate
for the street.

66
00:03:07,005 --> 00:03:10,216
Wisteria Lane has a traditional look.

67
00:03:10,257 --> 00:03:14,845
Well, maybe you'd like it better
if we covered it with a gingham throw.

68

Ladies, I'm sorry.

69

We honestly thought
that people would like it.

70
00:03:20,392 --> 00:03:24,561
But even if you disapprove,
we hope that you will respect our right

71

Yeah, they can get like that.

do you think you could move it

Why? I thought you liked it.

96

Yes!

00:08:04,638 --> 00:08:07,099
Why can't I go? I play golf.

157
00:08:09,101 --> 00:08:12,228
And I'd love to meet
your college buddies.

158
00:08:12,270 --> 00:08:16,065
Edie, me and the guys have only
two rules for these weekends.

159
00:08:16,107 --> 00:08:18,776
No plaid pants and no women.

160
00:08:18,818 --> 00:08:21,027
Fine, be that way.

161
00:08:21,778 --> 00:08:24,406
And to think I got you a gift.

162
00:08:29,493 --> 00:08:31,287
Hey, golf balls.

163
00:08:31,870 --> 00:08:33,664
They're monogrammed.

164
00:08:33,955 --> 00:08:35,873
Wait, these are your initials.

165
00:08:35,915 --> 00:08:37,125
Exactly.

166
00:08:37,166 --> 00:08:41,004
While you're out there playing,
I want everyone to know

167
00:08:41,045 --> 00:08:43,255
who your balls belong to.

168
00:08:53,514 --> 00:08:55,766
Good work, boys, but I have to
head out in a few minutes.

169
00:08:55,808 --> 00:08:57,851
So make sure you put all the stuff
back in the garage.

170
00:08:57,893 --> 00:08:59,311
(PHONE RINGING)

171
00:09:00,061 --> 00:09:02,564
<i>- Hello?
- CARLOS: Hey, on my way.</i>

172
00:09:02,606 --> 00:09:04,231
Meet you at the hotel, okay?

173
00:09:04,273 --> 00:09:06,442
I'm leaving in five minutes.

174
00:09:14,824 --> 00:09:17,577
Brett. Could you come here a second?

175
00:09:19,620 --> 00:09:21,496
How long has that van
been parked over there?

176
00:09:21,538 --> 00:09:25,167
- Couple hours.
- Hours? Are you serious?

177
00:09:26,543 --> 00:09:28,002
Oh, my God.

178
00:09:28,044 --> 00:09:30,421
I think he's just waiting
for someone to come home.

179
00:09:30,463 --> 00:09:34,091
Brett, when's the last time a cable guy
waited for anyone?

180
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,428
I see a lot of lawn mowing
in your future.

181
00:09:38,470 --> 00:09:40,096
Hey, it's me again.

182
00:09:40,138 --> 00:09:43,098
You're not going to believe this.
Before Victor left on his business trip,

183
00:09:43,140 --> 00:09:44,892
he hired someone to tail me!

184
00:09:44,934 --> 00:09:47,436
<i>- Oh, man. Should we call this off?
- No way.</i>

185
00:09:47,478 --> 00:09:49,604
It's going to take more than a guy
with mini binoculars

186
00:09:49,646 --> 00:09:53,107
and a bag of doughnuts to keep me
under lock and key.

187
00:09:53,149 --> 00:09:55,610
I'll be there as soon as I can.

188
00:10:03,909 --> 00:10:05,701
Boys, time to get paid.

189
00:10:05,743 --> 00:10:08,120
Awesome! Yeah! Come on, Eddie!

190
00:10:21,382 --> 00:10:25,469
- BO Y 1: Come on! Yeah! Wait up!
- Come back here!

191
00:10:25,636 --> 00:10:28,263
BO Y 2: Are you taking
the bus home today?

192
00:10:33,434 --> 00:10:37,604
As soon as we get around the corner,
we're gonna have to adjust this horn.

193
00:10:48,072 --> 00:10:49,448
Gabrielle!

194
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,324
Hey.

195
00:10:52,158 --> 00:10:53,493
Hi!

196
00:10:55,662 --> 00:10:58,080
Look at you! What a surprise!

197
00:10:59,498 --> 00:11:03,210
Gabby, this is my wife, Tammy.
Tammy, this is Gabrielle.

198
00:11:03,878 --> 00:11:07,338
Wow. Look at you. Congratulations.

199
00:11:07,380 --> 00:11:09,465
Thanks. It wasn't planned.

200
00:11:11,593 --> 00:11:15,596
Okay. So, are you guys staying here?

201
00:11:15,804 --> 00:11:17,639
No. We just came for some lunch.

202
00:11:17,681 --> 00:11:19,558
Daddy owns this place.

203
00:11:19,725 --> 00:11:21,517
That's right, you're a hotel heiress.

204
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:26,105
Yeah, but not one of the skanky ones.
How do you two know each other?

205
00:11:27,981 --> 00:11:30,525
I used to be Gabrielle's gardener.

206
00:11:30,567 --> 00:11:35,321
Oh. Well, as you can see, he certainly
married up from lawn boy.

207
00:11:35,362 --> 00:11:37,031
- Tammy!
- What?

208
00:11:37,865 --> 00:11:41,493
Forget it.
So, I heard you married the mayor.

209
00:11:42,369 --> 00:11:46,456
You're married to Victor Lang?
He and Daddy go hunting together!

210
00:11:46,497 --> 00:11:49,375
I tell John if he would just be nicer
to Daddy he could hang out

211
00:11:49,417 --> 00:11:52,419
with people like the mayor
and make important contacts.

212
00:11:52,461 --> 00:11:55,714
And I keep telling you that I don't need
to kiss your father's ass

213
00:11:55,756 --> 00:11:57,382
to have a career.

214
00:11:58,174 --> 00:12:01,093
Yeah, so I married the mayor.
Kooky, huh?

215
00:12:01,385 --> 00:12:04,263
So. Is he here with you?

216
00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:08,016
No. He's away at a conference.

217
00:12:08,058 --> 00:12:11,311
So I decided to treat myself
to a spa weekend.

218
00:12:11,394 --> 00:12:14,813
You should definitely get
the full body massage.

219
00:12:16,523 --> 00:12:18,859
Oh, I plan to.

220
00:12:19,485 --> 00:12:21,903
- Good to see you.
- You, too, Gabby.

221
00:12:24,739 --> 00:12:26,407
Sorry about that.

222
00:12:26,449 --> 00:12:28,867
What a complete shock.
I mean, of all people to run into.

223
00:12:28,909 --> 00:12:30,452
Who were they?

224
00:12:33,747 --> 00:12:36,624
Just an old friend and his idiot wife.

225
00:12:36,666 --> 00:12:38,417
Come on, let's go.

226
00:12:40,711 --> 00:12:43,922
Bree. How lovely to see you.

227
00:12:44,047 --> 00:12:45,715
Cram it, Phyllis.

228
00:12:45,799 --> 00:12:49,886
You've got a lot of nerve, stealing
Danielle from a convent we prepaid for.

229
00:12:49,970 --> 00:12:51,554
She didn't steal me.

230
00:12:51,595 --> 00:12:54,348
I'm a mature person,
capable of making my own decisions.

231
00:12:54,390 --> 00:12:55,975
Well, good, you can decide to pack,

232
00:12:56,016 --> 00:12:58,476
because we are taking you
back to the convent.

233
00:12:58,518 --> 00:13:02,480
I'm turning 18 this weekend, so you
can't boss me around any more.

234
00:13:02,522 --> 00:13:05,066
I'm staying with Grandma and I'm
gonna have my baby delivered here.

235
00:13:05,108 --> 00:13:07,276
We have an excellent medical staff.

236
00:13:07,317 --> 00:13:08,652
It's a retirement village.

237
00:13:08,694 --> 00:13:11,405
All these doctors know how to deliver
is bad news.

238
00:13:11,446 --> 00:13:13,323
I don't care, I'm staying.

239
00:13:13,365 --> 00:13:15,658
And I'm going to
raise the baby here, too.

240
00:13:15,700 --> 00:13:18,160
- What?
- Entirely her idea.

241
00:13:18,202 --> 00:13:20,621
A baby is God's most precious gift.

242
00:13:20,663 --> 00:13:22,747
I will not have mine raised by a cold,

243
00:13:22,789 --> 00:13:25,000
emotionally unavailable woman
like you.

244
00:13:25,041 --> 00:13:26,126
"Emotionally unavailable?"

245
00:13:26,167 --> 00:13:28,878
Gosh, I wonder where she picked up
that little phrase.

246
00:13:30,379 --> 00:13:32,715
Like I'm too dumb to think of it myself?

247
00:13:32,756 --> 00:13:36,134
You're always mean to me,
just like you were to Dad.

248
00:13:36,175 --> 00:13:40,263
You emasculated him. Well,
you're not going to emasculate me!

249
00:13:40,305 --> 00:13:44,057
You don't even know what that means,
you petulant sock puppet!

250
00:13:44,099 --> 00:13:46,560
Who cares?

251
00:13:46,935 --> 00:13:48,896
I'm going to the store.

252
00:13:50,981 --> 00:13:52,648
Buy a dictionary!

253
00:13:53,232 --> 00:13:54,400
(DOOR CLOSES)

254
00:13:54,692 --> 00:13:59,529
So that's all settled.
Would you like some iced tea?

255
00:14:10,164 --> 00:14:11,999
You aren't joining the lynch mob?

256
00:14:12,041 --> 00:14:16,002
You mean Katherine's Homeowners'
thing? Yeah, I think I'll sit this one out.

257
00:14:16,044 --> 00:14:19,088
No, no, no. You can't do that.
You've got to pick a side.

258
00:14:19,130 --> 00:14:21,341
Art or mindless conformity?

259
00:14:22,799 --> 00:14:24,968
See, this is one of the upsides
of having cancer.

260
00:14:25,010 --> 00:14:28,055
You get to excuse yourself
from petty neighbourhood squabbles.

261
00:14:28,096 --> 00:14:31,015
You won't think they're so petty
when she comes after you.

262
00:14:31,057 --> 00:14:33,142
Me? Why would she do that?

263
00:14:33,809 --> 00:14:36,187
Did the Homeowners' Association
approve everything in your yard?

264
00:14:36,229 --> 00:14:39,648
The fence? That swing?
The tree house?

265
00:14:41,149 --> 00:14:43,693
I don't think Katherine will bother
herself over a tree house.

266
00:14:43,735 --> 00:14:46,529
First they came for the fountains,
and I did not speak out

267
00:14:46,570 --> 00:14:48,739
because I had no fountain.

268
00:14:48,781 --> 00:14:50,824
- What?
- Then they came for the lawn gnomes,

269
00:14:50,866 --> 00:14:53,368
and I did not speak out
because I had no gnome.

270
00:14:53,409 --> 00:14:55,286
You're comparing Katherine to a Nazi?

271
00:14:55,328 --> 00:14:57,288
Then they came for my tree house,

272
00:14:57,330 --> 00:15:00,374
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

273
00:15:04,294 --> 00:15:07,129
Thank you, ladies,
I so appreciate your input.

274
00:15:07,171 --> 00:15:12,385
And I think we can all agree that
the fountain has no place on our street.

275
00:15:12,426 --> 00:15:16,221
Yeah, we've got to show those gays
we mean business.

276
00:15:17,264 --> 00:15:22,726
Ida, again, the issue is not Bob
and Lee being gay. It's the fountain.

277
00:15:24,186 --> 00:15:26,146
Well, can't it be both?

278
00:15:27,439 --> 00:15:30,692
Anyway, if you elect me president,

279
00:15:30,733 --> 00:15:33,653
my first act will be to eliminate

280
00:15:33,695 --> 00:15:35,613
this so-called work of art.

281
00:15:35,655 --> 00:15:37,072
Hear, hear!

282
00:15:38,532 --> 00:15:40,909
- Yes, Lynette?
- After you get rid of this fountain,

283
00:15:40,951 --> 00:15:42,578
that's it, right?

284
00:15:42,619 --> 00:15:43,912
I don't follow.

285
00:15:43,954 --> 00:15:47,456
I mean, you're not gonna
start checking everyone's yards

286
00:15:47,498 --> 00:15:49,250
for things that don't "fit in"?

287
00:15:49,292 --> 00:15:50,877
(CHUCKLING) Oh, of course not.

288
00:15:51,544 --> 00:15:55,255
As long as those things meet
the Association's guidelines.

289
00:15:56,298 --> 00:15:58,508
And what if they don't?

290
00:15:58,550 --> 00:16:00,843
Are you referring to something
in particular?

291
00:16:00,885 --> 00:16:04,305
My kids' tree house.
Can you promise you'll leave it alone?

292
00:16:04,346 --> 00:16:08,391
Well, it's not up to me.
That's the whole point, there are rules.

293
00:16:08,850 --> 00:16:10,935
That sounds like a "no."

294
00:16:10,977 --> 00:16:14,439
If I make an exception for you,
then I have to make one for everyone.

295
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,523
And surely you realise that
the whole neighbourhood

296
00:16:16,565 --> 00:16:18,817
can't revolve
around your little tree house.

297
00:16:20,569 --> 00:16:22,445
Now, since I am running unopposed,

298
00:16:22,486 --> 00:16:25,448
I just need someone
to second my nomination.

299
00:16:27,700 --> 00:16:29,869
Oh, thank you, Lynette.

300
00:16:30,744 --> 00:16:33,455
No. Actually, I'm nominating myself.

301
00:16:33,497 --> 00:16:37,458
I am now running for president,
against you.

302
00:16:47,217 --> 00:16:50,136
Running for president
in your condition?

303
00:16:50,178 --> 00:16:51,596
I don't think it's a good idea.

304
00:16:51,638 --> 00:16:54,139
Tom, I don't want your opinion,
just your vote.

305
00:16:54,181 --> 00:16:57,518
If you want to save the tree house,
why don't you let me run instead?

306
00:16:57,559 --> 00:17:00,062
Because you'd never win.
Bossy women rule this street,

307
00:17:00,103 --> 00:17:01,812
you know that.

308
00:17:01,938 --> 00:17:03,981
I know one rules my life.

309
00:17:04,357 --> 00:17:06,234
I'm sorry, I didn't catch that.

310
00:17:06,275 --> 00:17:07,527
Nothing.

311
00:17:08,026 --> 00:17:10,987
Look, this is not just about a tree house
or a fountain.

312
00:17:11,029 --> 00:17:14,366
This is about what kind of
neighbourhood we want to live in.

313
00:17:14,407 --> 00:17:17,243
Do we get to make our own choices
or do we let the taste police

314
00:17:17,284 --> 00:17:19,203
make them for us?

315
00:17:19,453 --> 00:17:23,122
Now I get it. This is about you
wanting to take on Katherine.

316
00:17:23,164 --> 00:17:26,626
No, this is about personal freedom.

317
00:17:26,668 --> 00:17:31,004
Specifically, my personal freedom
to take down that jackbooted hausfrau.

Honey, if you're looking for something
to fight, how about your cancer?

319
00:17:34,466 --> 00:17:38,886
Hey, a tumour is a tumour, whether it's
in your body or living across the street.

320
00:17:44,809 --> 00:17:47,894
I don't know why you buy those things.
They just end up on the floor.

321
00:17:47,936 --> 00:17:50,814
Because I want to feel
pretty and feminine.

John? John who?

Okay.

327
00:18:06,578 --> 00:18:08,912
You know that old friend
I ran into in the lobby?

328
00:18:08,954 --> 00:18:11,790
It might have been John Rowland.

Maybe. I'm not sure.

But just to be safe,
you may want to hide in the closet.

333
00:18:18,713 --> 00:18:20,590
What? I'm not hiding from that guy.

334
00:18:20,631 --> 00:18:24,134
Really? Because his father-in-law
goes hunting with Victor.

335

You know, the guy who hired
someone to tail us and possibly kill us?

John. What are you doing here?

337
00:18:39,939 --> 00:18:41,733
When I ran into you last fall,

338
00:18:41,774 --> 00:18:44,903
you wanted to start up our affair again
and I wasn't ready.

Well, I'm ready!

Hey.

I wouldn't knock myself out

344

So I was hoping you could help me.

345
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:11,175
You know, ring some bells,
talk me up, that sort of thing.

346
00:19:11,217 --> 00:19:13,135
I would love to, but...

But, what?

348
00:19:16,513 --> 00:19:20,475
This is awkward.
I told Katherine I'd vote for her.

You're picking her over me?

350

It's not like I'm pro-Katherine,
I'm just anti-fountain.

351
00:19:27,439 --> 00:19:29,775
Oh, don't give me that look.
I made her a promise.

352
00:19:29,817 --> 00:19:34,111
Yes, but that was before your
best friend threw her scarf in the ring.

353
00:19:36,322 --> 00:19:40,075
Okay, if I vote for you, do you promise
to get rid of that fountain?

354
00:19:40,116 --> 00:19:42,118
See, that's awkward for me.

355

This is about personal freedom,
you know? I'm running as a libertarian.

Well, I'm voting as a light sleeper.

- But it's my kids' tree house.

- They really need it.
- Well, we need our sleep.

- Why don't you get tree house plugs?

Seriously, John,
you've got to get out of here.

No. Please. I need to be with you.

GABRIELLE: What about your wife?
JOHN: You met her.

366
00:20:16,940 --> 00:20:21,111
She's dumb, demanding,
totally self-centred, especially in bed.

- I mean, she's awful.
- Awfully pregnant!

Just like you were with Mr Solis.

- I wasn't "trapped."

All you'd ever talk about was
what a selfish pig he was.

Well, I think you're paraphrasing.
Okay, seriously, you have to go.

Come on. You know it will be hot.

374
00:20:42,671 --> 00:20:45,841
Just like old times.
Remember, how great our sex was?

Oh, I don't think
we need to get into that.

What about the time
we were doing it in the shower

and Mr Solis drove up?

Does not ring a bell.

379
00:20:55,182 --> 00:20:58,435
Come on. And I hid in the closet.
And you looked so hot

380
00:20:58,477 --> 00:21:01,979
Mr Solis pulled you down on the bed

381
00:21:02,688 --> 00:21:06,609
and you had to fake an orgasm
just so he wouldn't catch on.

Yeah, good times.

Anyways, that's a negatory
on the affair...

...and I will see you later.

You faked it with me while that wax job
was hiding in the closet?

388

Yes, I had an affair. Old news.

back then was work.

- Yeah, with our teenage gardener.

12-step programme?

463
00:25:49,187 --> 00:25:51,939
Let's just say I've recently learnt
how loving someone

464
00:25:51,981 --> 00:25:55,651
makes you forget the difference
between right and wrong.

465
00:26:00,238 --> 00:26:03,116
Anyway, that's pretty much it.
I should go.

466
00:26:03,408 --> 00:26:04,617
Hey.

467
00:26:06,535 --> 00:26:08,621
Do you still talk to Gabrielle?

468
00:26:08,662 --> 00:26:10,331
Occasionally. Why?

469
00:26:11,748 --> 00:26:14,459
I just wanted to know if she was happy.

470
00:26:15,794 --> 00:26:17,378
I think she is.

471
00:26:20,297 --> 00:26:22,424
Well,

472
00:26:23,008 --> 00:26:24,551
good for her.

473
00:26:31,891 --> 00:26:36,520
All right, before we vote, are there
any more questions for the candidates?

474
00:26:37,270 --> 00:26:39,064
Anybody besides Lee?

475
00:26:39,106 --> 00:26:40,357
It's not a question.

476
00:26:40,398 --> 00:26:45,027
I just want to remind everyone that a
vote for Katherine is a vote for fascism.

477
00:26:45,319 --> 00:26:48,197
What is it with you gay people
and clothes?

478
00:26:49,447 --> 00:26:51,699
"Fascism," Ida, not "fashion."

479
00:26:52,117 --> 00:26:56,329
Though if you ever do want to
talk fashion, we're here for you.

480
00:26:57,454 --> 00:26:58,789
All right, debate's over.

481
00:26:58,831 --> 00:27:01,834
Let's kick this pig.
All in favour of Lynette?

482
00:27:09,465 --> 00:27:12,259
Okay, and those for Katherine?

483
00:27:19,307 --> 00:27:21,725
That's fourteen for Lynette
and fourteen for Katherine.

484
00:27:21,767 --> 00:27:24,019
So what do we do? It's a tie.

485
00:27:25,479 --> 00:27:28,857
No, it's not. Susan voted twice!

486
00:27:32,652 --> 00:27:35,529
Did I? Well, that's obviously wrong.

487
00:27:37,072 --> 00:27:40,576
You only get one vote, sweet cheeks.
Who's it gonna be?

488
00:27:54,463 --> 00:27:56,298
Susan, we're waiting.

489
00:27:56,882 --> 00:27:58,716
It's up to you, hon.

490
00:28:03,179 --> 00:28:04,555
Katherine.

491
00:28:04,597 --> 00:28:05,680
(LAUGHS)

492
00:28:06,556 --> 00:28:09,934
Okay, it's official.
Katherine is our new president.

493
00:28:12,603 --> 00:28:14,730
Thank you, thank you, everyone,

494
00:28:14,772 --> 00:28:18,067
and I promise to do my best
for this neighbourhood.

495
00:28:18,108 --> 00:28:20,860
And Bob, Lee, Mr Mustafa,
I'll be in touch

496
00:28:20,902 --> 00:28:24,781
regarding your various infractions.
Oh, and you too, Lynette.

497
00:28:28,533 --> 00:28:30,410
Meeting adjourned.

498
00:28:33,371 --> 00:28:34,790
(KATHERINE SIGHS)

499
00:28:41,087 --> 00:28:42,630
(SILENTLY) I'm sorry.

500
00:28:52,221 --> 00:28:56,600
You know, Phyllis, we cannot thank you
enough for accepting our apology.

501
00:28:56,850 --> 00:29:02,021
Well, I think we should try to stay
on good terms, for Danielle's sake.

502
00:29:03,272 --> 00:29:08,276
I'm glad you suggested that
we eat out here. I never think to do this.

503
00:29:08,318 --> 00:29:10,612
Oh, darn. I forgot the napkins.

504
00:29:10,821 --> 00:29:13,406
No problem. I'll go get some.

505
00:29:16,951 --> 00:29:18,953
So, now that we have a moment alone,

506
00:29:18,994 --> 00:29:22,747
your mother and I would like to say
how proud we are of you.

507
00:29:22,872 --> 00:29:25,125
- Yeah, right.
- Seriously.

508
00:29:25,166 --> 00:29:27,585
We hadn't realised you'd
matured enough to take on

509
00:29:27,627 --> 00:29:30,212
the burden of motherhood
all by yourself.

510
00:29:30,504 --> 00:29:32,297
Well, Grandma's going to help.

511
00:29:32,339 --> 00:29:34,800
Well, she'll do what she can,
but you mustn't overtax her.

512
00:29:34,842 --> 00:29:37,593
Her heart is not very strong.

513
00:29:38,094 --> 00:29:39,929
She seems fine to me.

514
00:29:39,971 --> 00:29:43,557
Well, knock wood. We'd hate to
see you forced to take care of a baby

515
00:29:43,598 --> 00:29:46,601
and a sick, old woman.

516
00:29:46,643 --> 00:29:49,312
Mahjong.
Don't see that much any more.

517
00:29:56,110 --> 00:29:58,279
Danielle, you should
introduce yourself.

518
00:29:58,319 --> 00:30:00,697
These people are your new friends.

519
00:30:00,739 --> 00:30:03,116
And you're going to learn more
from their experience and wisdom

520
00:30:03,158 --> 00:30:06,326
than you ever could have learnt
at that college in Florida.

521
00:30:06,368 --> 00:30:09,788
Wait, I thought I couldn't go there.
You said it was just a party school.

522
00:30:09,830 --> 00:30:12,833
Well, actually we checked into
the curriculum and it's very strong.

523
00:30:12,875 --> 00:30:14,500
But, no matter, you'll be happier here.

524
00:30:14,542 --> 00:30:16,836
Yes, and with a grandmother's
unconditional love,

525
00:30:16,878 --> 00:30:20,548
who needs frat boys who only like you
for your convertible?

526
00:30:20,590 --> 00:30:22,591
Whoa, when did I get a convertible?

527
00:30:22,632 --> 00:30:25,969
Well, we were gonna surprise you
with one for your birthday,

528
00:30:26,011 --> 00:30:28,512
but since you're keeping the baby,
you'll want a more practical gift.

529
00:30:28,554 --> 00:30:30,931
We're thinking a diaper service.

530
00:30:31,474 --> 00:30:33,893
Oh, look, they have water aerobics.

531
00:30:33,934 --> 00:30:38,229
And up, and out, and up, and out...

532
00:30:38,354 --> 00:30:40,106
You should sign up.

533
00:30:43,734 --> 00:30:46,487
You know, maybe
I should go to college.

534
00:30:47,738 --> 00:30:51,158
I mean, for the baby's sake.
How can I support it without a degree?

535
00:30:51,199 --> 00:30:54,535
But you can't raise this child
in a Miami dorm room.

536
00:30:55,787 --> 00:31:00,415
You'll need to leave it with someone
you can trust to take care of it properly.

537
00:31:04,044 --> 00:31:06,379
Sorry. The elevator's out.

538
00:31:06,420 --> 00:31:07,922
(PANTING)

539
00:31:08,422 --> 00:31:11,008
I have to catch my breath.

540
00:31:17,722 --> 00:31:20,016
Grandma, we need to talk.

541
00:31:31,609 --> 00:31:34,946
- What's this?
- I thought we might toast my victory.

542
00:31:35,488 --> 00:31:37,864
Kind of in the middle of
something here.

543
00:31:37,906 --> 00:31:39,032
Oh.

544
00:31:39,074 --> 00:31:43,453
So, you haven't congratulated me yet.

545
00:31:44,912 --> 00:31:46,122
I know.

546
00:31:48,082 --> 00:31:50,418
Would you like to tell me
what's bothering you?

547
00:31:50,459 --> 00:31:51,626
I just want you to think about

548
00:31:51,668 --> 00:31:54,212
what you've been doing
for the past few days.

549
00:31:54,754 --> 00:31:57,841
You've mounted a crusade against
a metal thing that shoots out water.

550
00:31:57,882 --> 00:32:01,719
I'm trying to keep the neighbourhood
beautiful. I love this street.

551
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,305
Yeah, you keep saying that.
How happy you used to be here.

552
00:32:05,347 --> 00:32:08,808
But ever since we moved back,
all I've seen is an unhappy woman

553
00:32:08,850 --> 00:32:11,144
who needs to control everything.

554
00:32:11,185 --> 00:32:15,313
Well, we've both learnt what happens
when you lose control.

555
00:32:16,565 --> 00:32:17,733
Ah.

556
00:32:18,108 --> 00:32:20,485
Chicago again.

557
00:32:20,527 --> 00:32:22,153
Tell you something else
we learnt there.

558
00:32:22,194 --> 00:32:25,656
When the chips are down,
it helps to have friends.

559
00:32:26,032 --> 00:32:29,035
And you certainly haven't
made us any lately.

560
00:32:30,326 --> 00:32:32,162
Congratulations.

561
00:32:40,919 --> 00:32:43,172
- Bye, Grandma.
- Goodbye, dear.

562
00:32:45,048 --> 00:32:48,217
Tell your stepfather I'll be right out.

563
00:32:52,721 --> 00:32:54,639
Oh, please, Phyllis.

564
00:32:54,681 --> 00:32:57,934
Even you have to agree that a girl
who'd trade her baby for a convertible

565
00:32:57,976 --> 00:32:59,602
isn't ready for motherhood.

566
00:32:59,643 --> 00:33:03,606
She'd have changed
once the baby came.

567
00:33:03,647 --> 00:33:05,858
She's her father's daughter.

568
00:33:10,570 --> 00:33:12,697
That's a nice picture of Rex.

569
00:33:12,739 --> 00:33:15,657
I have a lot of pictures.

570
00:33:15,699 --> 00:33:18,202
All of the women here do.

571
00:33:19,620 --> 00:33:23,915
They're what we have left of the things
time has taken from us.

572
00:33:27,001 --> 00:33:30,462
Youth, homes, husbands.

573
00:33:31,713 --> 00:33:34,549
And for the unluckiest, children.

574
00:33:36,510 --> 00:33:39,804
I thought I was getting back
a part of Rex.

575
00:33:40,513 --> 00:33:41,972
But now...

576
00:33:45,809 --> 00:33:47,560
I know you're Ionely, Phyllis.

577
00:33:47,602 --> 00:33:51,272
But I can't give up this child
just to make you feel better.

578
00:33:51,439 --> 00:33:55,109
You should go.
Your family's waiting for you.

579
00:34:04,075 --> 00:34:07,786
Orson and I go to our club
almost every Saturday night,

580
00:34:07,828 --> 00:34:10,664
if you're interested in baby-sitting...

581
00:34:12,207 --> 00:34:13,709
You mean it?

582
00:34:16,043 --> 00:34:18,838
How will you explain me
to your friends?

583
00:34:18,879 --> 00:34:21,424
I'll say that you're broke
and needed the money.

584
00:34:21,465 --> 00:34:25,093
Can't you just say that
you like having me around?

585
00:34:26,386 --> 00:34:29,180
I need something that will fly, Phyllis.

586
00:34:40,398 --> 00:34:42,233
Hi. What's going on?

587
00:34:42,859 --> 00:34:44,485
We need to talk.

588
00:34:46,403 --> 00:34:48,780
So here's the deal.

589
00:34:48,822 --> 00:34:51,324
I think it's time for us
to do the right thing.

590
00:34:51,366 --> 00:34:52,950
Oh, I don't think I like
where this is going.

591
00:34:52,992 --> 00:34:55,119
We have to end this affair.

592
00:34:55,745 --> 00:35:00,041
- Are you serious?
- All this sneaking around,

593
00:35:00,082 --> 00:35:03,626
wearing disguises, hiding in closets,
it's just wrong.

594
00:35:03,918 --> 00:35:06,337
- We're better than this.
- So what are you suggesting?

595
00:35:06,379 --> 00:35:10,132
- We stay with Victor and Edie?
- No. We break up with them.

596
00:35:11,050 --> 00:35:13,927
Look, it'll hurt, but at least it's honest.

597
00:35:13,969 --> 00:35:16,637
And then, when enough time
has gone by and they've moved on,

598
00:35:16,679 --> 00:35:18,556
we can be together.

599
00:35:18,598 --> 00:35:20,933
How long are we talking about?

600
00:35:20,975 --> 00:35:23,643
- I don't know. Six months.
- Six months?

601
00:35:23,685 --> 00:35:25,604
Nobody takes that long
to heal any more.

602
00:35:25,645 --> 00:35:28,148
It's a breakup, not a face lift.

603
00:35:28,273 --> 00:35:32,526
Hey, look, I want us to be together, too,
but I also want to feel good about it.

604
00:35:33,402 --> 00:35:34,612
Don't you?

605
00:35:37,198 --> 00:35:38,948
Yeah, I do.

606
00:35:42,118 --> 00:35:45,829
You're such a good guy, Carlos.
I really hate that about you.

607
00:35:47,623 --> 00:35:48,957
I know.

608
00:35:50,209 --> 00:35:53,544
So, I guess this is it.

609
00:35:57,465 --> 00:36:01,218
This kiss has to last six months,
you better make it good.

(KIDS CHATTERING)

00:36:27,491 --> 00:36:29,118
Hey, Lynette.

613

Hey, Judas.

614
00:36:31,494 --> 00:36:34,205
Okay, fine, you're still angry.
But I'm going to make it up to you.

When they come after that tree house,
they're going to find one Susan Mayer

Don't do that. I want to be sad
when they knock it down.

618
00:36:42,254 --> 00:36:43,672
- Lynette!
- What?

619
00:36:43,714 --> 00:36:46,882
You think you can just walk over here
and cute your way out of what you did?

620
00:36:46,924 --> 00:36:48,259
We're supposed to be friends.

621
00:36:48,300 --> 00:36:52,221
Exactly. And friends don't put friends
in this kind of position.

622
00:36:52,263 --> 00:36:56,558
I love you, but you can't ask me to put
your kids ahead of my husband.

623
00:36:59,436 --> 00:37:02,396
You're right. I shouldn't have done that.

624
00:37:04,732 --> 00:37:08,736
But that tree house is the one place
my kids can go and not hear about

625
00:37:08,777 --> 00:37:12,363
body scans
and white blood cell counts.

626
00:37:12,405 --> 00:37:16,075
It is their getaway
from this horrible thing

627
00:37:16,117 --> 00:37:18,327
that I've brought into the house.

628
00:37:18,702 --> 00:37:22,247
Brought? Sweetie, it's not your fault
that you're sick.

629
00:37:22,497 --> 00:37:25,291
I know that, here.

630
00:37:25,333 --> 00:37:29,378
But here, it feels like
I've ruined their childhood.

631
00:37:32,213 --> 00:37:36,051
Okay. If anybody needs me, I'll be
at the hardware store buying chains.

632
00:37:36,092 --> 00:37:38,011
Oh, jeez, get over here.

633
00:37:38,887 --> 00:37:40,387
KATHERINE: Hello, there!

634
00:37:42,348 --> 00:37:45,642
Oh, look, it's our new queen,
Katherine of Arrogant.

635
00:37:45,976 --> 00:37:48,102
Hey, where's the wrecking ball?

636
00:37:48,144 --> 00:37:50,646
Actually, I came to tell you
the tree house can stay.

637
00:37:50,688 --> 00:37:53,566
- Oh, my God, that's great!
- Yes.

638
00:37:53,608 --> 00:37:56,193
If anyone complains,
we'll say it was grandfathered in

639
00:37:56,234 --> 00:37:58,445
under the previous administration.

640
00:37:59,780 --> 00:38:01,698
Wow. Thanks.

641
00:38:02,907 --> 00:38:04,283
Why?

642
00:38:04,992 --> 00:38:09,288
Well, clearly it means a lot to you,
and I want to be a good neighbour.

643
00:38:10,538 --> 00:38:13,875
Katherine, what's with you?

644
00:38:13,917 --> 00:38:18,295
Sometimes you act like an ice queen,
then you do something really nice.

645
00:38:19,046 --> 00:38:21,298
You are one complicated lady.

646
00:38:22,007 --> 00:38:24,967
Well, I've had one complicated life.

647
00:38:31,974 --> 00:38:37,145
I've had a lot of men in my life,
but I never let myself fall in love before.

648
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,565
I thought it was because
I didn't want to get hurt.

649
00:38:42,441 --> 00:38:46,070
But now I know the pain you feel
isn't the worst part.

650
00:38:47,946 --> 00:38:49,698
It's the hate.

651
00:38:51,825 --> 00:38:54,202
Could you make it out to cash?

652
00:39:09,132 --> 00:39:11,967
Hello, Katherine.
Here about the fountain?

653
00:39:12,175 --> 00:39:14,594
Yes. But don't worry,
there's no strict deadline.

654
00:39:14,636 --> 00:39:18,180
You can have it removed
at your earliest convenience.

655
00:39:19,265 --> 00:39:22,018
Yeah, I don't think it's going anywhere.

656
00:39:22,226 --> 00:39:25,353
Oh, boys, boys, the war is over.

657
00:39:27,772 --> 00:39:30,442
Yes, it is. We know all about Chicago.

658
00:39:31,860 --> 00:39:33,235
Come again?

659
00:39:33,277 --> 00:39:36,196
My ex is on the board of
Chicago Memorial Hospital.

660
00:39:36,238 --> 00:39:37,698
Seems your husband
made quite a stir there.

661
00:39:37,740 --> 00:39:40,908
Whole hospital's still buzzing
about what he did.

662
00:39:40,950 --> 00:39:45,371
Whatever you heard is a vicious lie.
Every word of it.

663
00:39:48,415 --> 00:39:52,711
Still, it was enough
to make you leave town.

664
00:39:52,753 --> 00:39:56,088
Which begs the question,
do you like living here?

665
00:40:00,468 --> 00:40:03,678
Oh, good. We're in agreement.
The fountain stays.

666
00:40:05,347 --> 00:40:07,807
Thanks for stopping by, Katherine.

667
00:40:11,143 --> 00:40:13,979
<i>MARY ALICE: It's the same for all of us.</i>

668
00:40:17,316 --> 00:40:23,404
<i>We try not to get too close
to the people who live next door.</i>

669
00:40:23,696 --> 00:40:28,492
<i>It's easier to give them a polite nod
than to ask what's wrong.</i>

670
00:40:30,744 --> 00:40:34,830
<i>It's safer to keep walking by
than to get involved.</i>

671
00:40:34,872 --> 00:40:36,666
(FIGHTING)

672
00:40:37,500 --> 00:40:42,587
<i>True, we sometimes do get to know
the people we share a fence with,</i>

673
00:40:42,629 --> 00:40:45,298
<i>and end up lifelong friends.</i>

674
00:40:45,340 --> 00:40:46,633
(CHATTERING)

675
00:40:47,509 --> 00:40:50,594
<i>But mostly, we keep our distance.</i>

676
00:40:50,636 --> 00:40:54,431
<i>Because we'd rather our neighbours
know nothing about us</i>

677
00:41:00,979 --> 00:41:03,106
<i>than know too much.</i>
