"Why?" "Does that mean something to ya?" "Once a year, the owner of the White Horse bar would host a competition known..." "As The Battle Of The Bands." "Give it up for Cold Splash." "And young musicians would come..." "With their drums..." "And guitars..." "And dreams of stardom." "This year, those young musicians were joined by a group of middle-aged men..." "Who came with their stiff joints..." "And high cholesterol..." "And dreams of being young again..." "If only for one night." "God, look at those guys." " They're so young." " No wonder they went first." "They probably have homework." "Would you guys relax?" "Rock 'n' Roll's not just for young people." "Why are they so loud?" "Not helping." "They're really good, and, we're really old enough to be their fathers." "We may look a little old up there, and we may hit a few clams, but who cares" " we're here to have fun." " Yeah, tonight we're not the plumber and a masseur and a guy that makes pizzas." "We're a Rock 'n' Roll band." "Right, Dave?" "Absolutely." "I've gotta check with the guy about the light cues." "You're sure we're not gonna humiliate ourselves?" "I promise you it'll be a night to remember." "And it was In ways they could never have known." "Oh, my god!" "Fire!" "It's locked."

"Remember when you left that soda can on the coffee table, and it left a ring, and I yelled at you," "I take it all back." "And we always sell out, so I want the band there by 6:00." " Any questions?" " Sounds good." " When are we on?" " Second." "You got the primo spot as a favor to my wife." "Since she rented you the space, she feels like part of the band." "Rock on, Anne Schilling." "If she requests "Free Bird," we're doing it." "I saw Porter at my house the other day." "He and Kirby were shooting hoops." "I can't believe how big he's getting." "They grow up fast." "Little too fast." "Hey, doc, I know I owe you a phone call." "I'm gonna cut to the chase." "Are you in Fairview?" "What?" " Where did that come from?" " Doesn't matter where it came from." "Are you in Fairview?" "I don't know what brought this on, but I'm really busy right now." "I'll call you tomorrow." "I promise." "And we can talk about it then." "Excuse me." "Could you tell me how to get to Wisteria Lane?" "So there we were, huddled under this broken umbrella, and..." "He just kissed me." "It was so romantic." "She's skipping the part where one of the spokes got me in the eye." "I'm gonna take your suitcases upstairs." "I'll come with you." "I need to check my e-mail." "Be right back." "So, Susan..." "I'm sensing that, you're a little freaked out about my age." "When your 24-year-old daughter calls you and tells you she's bringing home a boy from college, you sort of expect it to be," "a boy." "I just want you to know that we didn't start dating until after the semester was over I don't date students." "That's a rule with me." "And a damn good one." "Although strictly speaking, I suppose my third wife was my teaching assistant, but she was really more of my employee than my student." "Your what?" " Student." " Before that." " Employee." " Before that." "Third wife." "That's the one." "So you've been married three times?" " Didn't Julie tell you that?" " I don't believe so." "Although I may have blacked out after she told me you were 40." "So how does a man your age get married and divorced three times?" "My first wife and I were only married a few months, so," " I almost don't like to count it." " Did someone throw rice at you?" "It counts." "Is this upsetting you?" "I thought you'd understand." "Julie said you'd been divorced yourself." "Only twice." "Two." "Small number." "Much smaller than three." "And my first cheated on me, so that doesn't even count." " Did someone throw rice at you?" " Shut up." "You and I both know that sometimes it just doesn't work out." "That's true." "And besides, it's different with Julie." "I love her so much." "It's very important that you know I take my commitments seriously." "Why?" " Oh, my god." " Lloyd, come here." "I can't find my cell phone charger." "Please, don't say anything." "I want it to be a surprise." "Thanks..." "Mom." "And this is my own little kitchen." "I'm pretty sure my husband's here somewhere." "Dear, are you decent?" "In here, love." "Nice to meet you." "I've had the most delightful time with your wife and stepson." "Your home is stunning." "You cannot run a business and do all this, too." "Tell me you have a housekeeper." "Why would I pay someone to do work that gives me such joy?" "Who wants a little snack?" "The idea was for me to spend a typical day with you." "So this is legit?" "You're really this Donna Reed housewife from the '50s?" "You say that like it's a bad thing." "I think that decade had a lot to recommend it." "People had values then..." "Values this family strives to uphold." "But not everyone can keep a perfect house for a perfect family with perfect food and perfect flowers." "Of course they can." "If they read my book, that is." "Truth be told..." "I'm far from perfect." "Only yesterday, I burned a whole tray of biscotti." "And to think, I was worried about finding a lead." "Andrew, please." "The machine can get it." "We never answer the phone while entertaining." "So rude to one's guests." "May I pour you some more tea?" "This is Mr. Jones for Orson Hodge." "Due to vacation schedules, I'll be filling in for your parole officer." "Give me a call, please." "So, Mr. Hodge..." "You've been to prison." "Now can I be gay?" "Kirby, is that you?" "I thought you went to the movies." "Are you really pregnant?" "Yes." "A couple of months back, Warren and I..." "We fought." "I was pretty banged up, and..." "Porter came by looking for Kirby, and..." "He was so..." "Kind and..." " And gentle." " Don't." "Don't try and justify this." "This is sick." "You are sick." "Your son..." "Loves me." "And I love him." "And you know what?" "I'm glad I'm having Porter's baby." "Damn." "Not exactly what a husband wants to hear coming in the door." "I suppose dinner's not ready, either." "Warren, I'm sorry that..." "Thank you." "I'm gonna have to ask you to leave." "Don't go." "I need to talk with my wife right now." "I'm sorry for any pain this has caused your family, Mrs. Scavo." "Damn it." "You think you can humiliate me?" "!" "You piece of filth!" "Get off of her!" "I'm calling the police!" "Stay out of this!" "Just so you know, I hit back." "Call the police." "I'd love to hear her explain her way out of statutory rape." "You don't live here anymore." "Oh, my god!" "Thank you..." "For coming back." "Here we are, boys." "Are you psyched or what?" "I feel like I'm gonna puke again." " You guys Cold Splash?" " Yes, sir." ""Sir"?" " We're Blue Odyssey." " I can see that." "After the gig, we're having a party at our manager's loft." " You guys should come." " Abso-tively." "We just gotta check with our wives." "Why were you talking to that woman?" "She just walked up and asked if we knew you, wanted us to confirm a bunch of rumors." "What kind of rumors?" "Just..." "Stuff she'd heard around the neighborhood." "Were you really a boozehound?" "I wish I'd have known you then." "We'd have been such good friends." "She seemed to know an awful lot about you." "Key word..."awful."" "I cannot let this happen." "I have to find her." "She's gonna be at the Battle Of The Bands tonight." " Why?" " She wants to hear Orson, and I quote," ""sing harmony with the guy he tried to kill."" "Dear god." "This woman is determined to make my life sound ten times worse than it actually is." "Was your first husband really into S and M hookers?" "And you wonder why we're never invited anywhere." "Girls, mommy's leaving." "I love you!" "I'm planning on having a massive hangover, so keep the girls up late so we can all sleep in." "My, don't you look festive." "What are you doing here?" "What do you mean?" "We're going to watch Carlos' band play." "You invited me this morning, remember?" "What I remember was you asking me to the movies tonight, and me saying I couldn't because I was going to watch Carlos' band play." "You got invitation out of that?" "I'm here now, dear, and I have this lovely limo." "So come on." "We'll ride over to the club in style." "Here's the thing." "I'm supposed to go with my girlfriends." "Please, I was so looking forward to this." "Don't make me go all alone." "I guess we're all going to the same place." "I'll just see my friends there." "Goody!" " Where's Anne?" " She's asleep." "She's fine." " What happened?" " I went over to talk to Anne about recent developments." " You went to her house?" " Yes, I did." "I had to talk to Anne." "I didn't know that her husband was there, and he overheard us and..." "The doctors say she's gonna be fine." "Where are you going?" "Damn it!" ""Tonic water, bourbon, ketchup." This is your grocery list?" "There's got to be something else on Dave's phone bill that'll help us." "There isn't." "Don't get broccoli." "It is not your friend." "You're telling me that you cross-checked all those other numbers," " and there was nothing?" " Squat." "The key is this doctor guy." "Maybe we should just bite the bullet and go to Boston." "Maybe we can get more out of him face-to-face." "You wanna go to a rock show tonight?" "Me?" "With you?" "I'm a little out of your league, but if it'll get you there, sure." "I don't think I can, but thanks." "Here, in case you change your mind." "And then I noticed that Maria's pockets were stuffed with silverware." "I'm telling you, it's impossible to find good help these days." "You'll know soon enough when my cholesterol finally gets the better of me." "Don't talk like that." "You want a cheeseburger or something?" "That has got to stop." "I'm gonna do something." "Why?" "Julie's a grown woman." "She's a grown woman with stars in her eyes who's in love with a 3-times loser." "If she wants to accept his proposal, that's her business." "But in the meantime, you're not gonna ruin his surprise." " Aren't I?" " No." " Aren't I?" " No." "You're right." "I'll stay out of it." "Where is the little girls' room?" " Why did that guy hand you a CD?" " Your name isn't Julie, is it?" "Why?" "He wants me to play a song." "I guess he's gonna propose to his girlfriend." "Tonight?" "!" "Isn't that lovely?" "Hey, you two." "What's going on?" "Nothing." "What's going on with you?" "I just love this song." "And Jackson doesn't like to dance, so..." "Isn't this fun?" "It was." "Reminds me of being young and single." "I wish I'd never given up that." "I don't want to sound rude or anything, but this is really a moment that's meant for two." "Right." "You mind easing away so I can dance with my daughter?" "What are you doing?" "I'm..." "Just movin' to the music." "You're coming with me." "All right!" "But no matter what he asks you, promise me you'll say "no."" "Lloyd, I'm sorry." "I can't help it." "I don't want my daughter" " to be someone's fourth wife." " Wife?" "Were you gonna ask me to marry you?" "Were we not clear on that by now?" "You can't be serious." "We've only been dating three months." "I know, but I have such a good feeling about us." "Right, better feelings than you had about wives one, two and three?" "You are very sweet, but," "I'm not getting married..." "Ever." "What do you mean, "ever"?" "We'll talk about this later." "I just really need a moment to myself." "Thank you." "Bree, darling." "Spare me your "darling."" "I know you've been trying to dig up dirt on me." "Just doing my job." "And frankly, I didn't have to dig all that hard." "I wrote a cookbook..." "Meatloaf, pot pies, peach cobbler." "Why are you trying to crucify me?" "Because it's not a cookbook." "It's a "look how great I am" book..." "One designed to make every woman who reads it feel like a failure if she doesn't measure up." "What you're selling's a total sham." "But it isn't, because I don't think I'm great." "I have fallen down more times than I can count, just like so many other housewives out there." "We're all just barely holding on, and we all think that we're alone." "So maybe you're right." "Maybe it isn't a cookbook." "It's a lifeline from me to those other women, because I want them to know there's always a chance to get something right." "Even if it's just a casserole." "Why didn't you just tell me that right up front?" "That's an angle I can work with." "I got some good news today." "I've been speaking with the headmaster at Greenbrier country day school, and I got them to reserve two spots for the girls." "They start next term." "Thanks, but the girls already have a school." "I know..." "A public school." "This is a good school." "They're happy where they are." "They love Fairview." " Besides, Greenbrier's an hour away." " So I'll get them a driver." "That would be a real treat for them." "I want them to be close by." "They could need me..." "get sick or something." "That's what school nurses are for." "Dear, this is a decision I feel very strongly about," "I'm afraid I have to insist." "Excuse me." "You don't get to insist on anything when it comes to my daughters." "I think, given the extent of my investment in this family," "I should have some say." "I'll just give you some time to think about it." "I don't need any time to think about it." " Keep your money." " You're being reckless." "You know something?" "I like money." "I like it a lot." "A couple years ago, you could've bought me with that big fortune of yours." "But I'm a mom now, and I make the decisions for my kids." "And that is something that cannot be bought." "I can make a decision, too." "I can call my lawyer and take you out of my will." "And that is your right as a crazy old rich lady." "Thank you." "Screening your calls now, Dave?" "Let me guess." "You can explain everything." "I'm really, really sorry, doc." "You changed your name and didn't tell me." "You're living in Fairview..." "The one place you swore you wouldn't go." "I didn't change my name to be deceptive." " I just wanted a fresh start." " Fairview is not a fresh start for you." "My wife Edie... she's from here, and she really wanted to move back and I said okay." "Did you tell her your history?" "Did you tell her why it's not healthy... or safe," "for you to be here?" "She knows everything, and I'm in a really good place right now." "But..." "Can we talk about this after the show?" "These guys..." "They're my friends, and they're depending on me." "The moment you're finished playing." "Let's start this year's Battle Of The Bands with our first group." "Give it up for Cold Splash!" "Spare me the apology for butting into my life for the millionth time." "What is this about you never getting married?" "Why would I?" "If there's one thing I've learned from your experience, marriage is a joke." "I believe in marriage." "Why?" "First there was dad, who left you for his secretary, and then Mike..." "He was the love of your life, and it still went to hell." "Honestly..." "Just tell me what the upside is." "You're way too young to be this cynical." "I am not cynical." "I'm realistic." "I'm just trying to protect myself." "Putting a wall around your heart doesn't protect you." "It just keeps people out." "I learned that the hard way." "Now with Jackson..." "I remember that I like feeling hopeful." "I like believing in "happily ever after."" "I really wish that you felt that way, too." "Sorry about the tip, but I just lost $50 million." "Have you seen Porter?" "No, I haven't." "Is he supposed to be here?" "If you see him, please tell me." "Thanks." "Come on." "Tonight, we're not a plumber and a masseur and a guy that makes pizzas." "We're a Rock 'n' Roll band." "Right, Dave" "Absolutely." "I'm gonna check with the guy about the light cues." "Hey, doc." "He's in your band?" "!" "Oh." "I know." "It sounds crazy, but we've worked through everything." " It's cool." " No." "This is too dangerous." "I need to speak to him right now." "You just have to trust me." "Now, Dave." "I speak to him right now..." "Or I call the police." "You win." "Come on." "I hope you realize..." "I'm only doing this because I want to help you." "I genuinely care about you." "I know you do, Dr. Heller." "And I like you." "Actually, I like you a lot." "I'm sorry." "I know this is gonna sound crazy, but I can actually smell our fear." "If I could see where the exits are, I'd run for 'em." "I can't believe we let Dave talk us into this." "By the way, where is Dave?" "Where are you going?" "The guys are about to start." " Bathroom." "Back in a sec." " The men's room's packed, but there's an employee bathroom back there." "Thank you." "Is that the bathroom?" " I think that's it there." " Okay, thanks." " We're up." "Where the hell is Dave?" " Sorry." "We thought you ditched us." "Where were you?" "Needed a little liquid courage." "Come on, boys." "Let's do it." "Ladies and gentlemen, the Battle Of The Bands is back, so please give a big welcome to Blue Odyssey." "Hey, Warren." "Get up, you little basrd!" " Don't you touch him!" "Go home now!" " I know what you did to Anne." "Better listen to your mommy, little boy." "Go home." "You're dead." "I don't care what it takes." "You're dead." "Stop it!" "Go on!" "Hitting women and children?" "You must be so proud." "Lock that door." "What were you thinking?" "You could've gotten hurt in there!" "You are responsible for this." "Whatever happens is your fault." "Oh, my god!" "Fire!" "What's happening?" " Jackson, he's in the bathroom." " There's an exit there." "He'll get out." "Come on." "We have to go now." "Open up!" "Gaby!" "Your friend!" "Crap!" "Come on." "Let's get you out of here." "Let's go." "Since I'm saving your life and all, you wanna think about maybe keeping us in your will?" "It was worth a shot." "It's locked." "Look out!" "Quit pushing!" "Come on." "No, I gotta make sure everyone gets out of here." "Go!" "Don't push!" "One at a time!" " What are you doing?" "Get the hell out!" " Jackson... he's still in there." "He's in the bathroom." "I'll get him." "Go." "Just go." "Get out!" "Go!" "Thank god." " Where's Mike?" " I don't know." "I didn't see him." " Is he still in there?" " Yeah!" "He went in there to find you." "Mike's still in there?" "Dave, no!" "Mom!" "Dad." "I told you to go home." "What are you doing here?" "You son of a bitch!" "You did this!" "Stay away from my kid!" "Your kid burned down my club." "Do you think he's still in there?" "I didn't see him." "My husband's still inside." "You've gotta go back in there!" "I'm sorry." "That roof is about to collapse." "Please get back." "Someone's coming!" "Hang in there." "I'm not done with you yet." "There was a fire last night in Fairview." "If you open up your morning paper, you can read about those who survived..." "And those who were injured..." "Those who barely escaped with their lives..." "And those who didn't." "You can also read about a man who risked his life to rescue his neighbor." "What you won't read about are the reasons for this bravery." "You're the one who pulled that guy out of the fire." "Can I interview you?" "And that's because..." "No one ever doubts..." "A hero."
