"Hey, guys, would you go play in the back for a while?" "I need to talk to your dad." "Thanks." "Don't they have soccer today?" "Let me answer that questn with another question." " Why did you lie to police?" " Lynette-- and you made me lie to them, too, which brings up another question." "Did you know that perjury is, like, this whole big thing?" "I think you're overreacting." "No, overreacting would be if I threw a brick through you." "What were you thinking?" "Help me understand." "I just wento go check out how the construction was going, but I came around the corner." "I saw this giant picture window that says "rick'S."" "And then I realize I'm gonna have to see that guy's name every damn day of my life." "Then I noticed this pile of bricks." "Okay." "I know this whole thing with rick-- it really caused us some damage." "I know it hurt us, but we survived it, and it's over now." "Now that's the thing, lynette." "It's not over." "It was never over." "I don't care about rick's stupid restaurant!" "I don't even care that he wants to steal you from me!" "Of course, he would want to steal you from me." "That makes sense to me." "I care that he made you act like it could be done." "He changed the way I look at you." "but... nothing ever happened between us." "You have to believe me." "Come on!" "I am notrying to get you to apologize." "I'm just explaining the brick." "oh,my god." "You thought I was crazy,but it wasn't a dream." "You're naked!" "And th means you're crazy." "I didn't mean to do it." "Oh,really?" "You just happened to stumble naked into my front yard?" "I didn't mean it,mike." ""Mike"?" "Wait." "Are you sleepwalking?" "Hello?" "Did you just hit me?" "Oh,dear god!" "Orson,you're staying at my house!" "there you go." "I have no explanation." "This doesn't happen to me." "I don't sleepwalk." "You know,it's none of my business, but seeing as I have seen you naked twice in theast week," "I think I can ask,is something bothering you?" "I don't think so." "I mean,being out of our house has been a little weird, but I'm very comfortable here." "Clearly." "You know,when you were out on the lawn,you said something about mike." "What,uh,what did I say?" "Well,it was just sort of muttering." "Were you having a dream about him?" "No." "I-I don't believe so." "Well,maybe it's because you just saw him." "He must be on your mind." "Yeah,yeah." "You know what,susan?" "I-I think it's time for us to move out." "You can'T." "Your house isn't finished yet." "No,the downstairs will be ready next week." "We'll be fine." "Well,if you insist..." "I think it will be for the best." "Okay,but in the meantime,um,I do have a teenage daughter,so if you could... boxers?" "Yes." "Thanks." "come on." "You've been cooped up in this house since you got home from the hospital." "let's go out and have some fun!" "No,I think I'm gonna stay here." "I don't--I don't wanna be a burden." "Carlos,I see handicapped people out and about all the time." "In fact,I met two feisty men in wheelchairs yesterday at the mall." "They were living their lives... so it's time for you to live yours." "Come on." "Come on." "I'm just dropping off a few letters." "You might as well just wait here." "Just picking up some vitamins." "I'll be quicker if I do it myself." "I just have to drop off a gift to my manicurist." "Why don't you listen to the radio?" "thank you." "Sorry,babe." "That took a little longer than I..." "Oh,there you are." "Thanks,henry." "Where the hell have you been?" "I was starving,so I got that kid to take me to go get a burger." "I don't believe this." "I was worried sick about you!" "I'm sick of waiting here!" "You promised me a fun day,and all I got is a sunburn on the right side of my face." "I'm sorry." "I told you,I had errands to run first." "What's that smell?" "What smell?" "It smells like... nail polish." "Is that what you've been doing?" "excuse me." "Miss!" "Is that your aston martin in the handicapped space?" "What?" "Gaby,are you parked in a handicapped spot?" "Move it along,pops." "We're gonna be here a while." "Wait,wait,wait." "Did you get a handicapped tag?" "To answer your earlier question,yes,I got a manicure." "I'm sorry." "Are we good?" "Oh,my god!" "You're exploiting my blindness so that you can score better parking?" "That's a really mean way to put it." "You had me out here,sitting like a dog with the window cracked open." "You used me!" "Well,why shouldn't I get something out of this?" "You know,the blindness didn't just happen to you." "You can't be serious." "Oh,you bet I am!" "Every morning,the toothpaste has to be to the left of the sink, because if it's not,you can't find it,and I have to put it there." "And--and sometimes" " I don't know--I'm driving,or I'm in line at the bank and I think," ""is the toothpaste there?"" "so then I have to run home and check because I don't want you reaching for the tube and not being able to find it." "I just didn't think this was how it was all gonna tu out,carlos." "I didn't think that every day for the rest of my life, a part of me is always gonna think," ""where's the toothpaste?"" "Can't you just leave it in the drawer?" "That's not the point,you blind idiot!" "I'm saying if all I get in exchange for this crappy situation is a nice parking spot for my $8 manicure, then I'm taking it!" "Who put pear slices in the waldorf salad?" "Guess that would be me." "Katherine,a waldorf salad is made with apples." "It's tradition." "Yes,a musty,19th century tradition in need of some jazzing up." "Look,I just thought you have so much on your mind already, what with the music and the decorations." "The least I could do was take over the food." ""Take over"?" "What in god's name have you done with my french onion soup?" "Oh,it'll be fine." "I told the chef nothing is to leave that kitchen unless I've tasted it." " Katherine-- - trust me." "After all,I've gotten tons of compliments on the lisianthus." "here,honey." "Let me." "Thanks." "You're welcome." "Just so you know..." "I'm sorry for what I'm putting you through." "If it were aone but you,it wouldn't be worth it." "you ready to go to the party?" "You tell me." "how do I look?" "you look very handsome." "Thank you." "And you look more beautiful than ever." "how do you know that?" "Just a hunch." "Don't eat that." "We had a refrigeration problem,and I don't want you getting sick." "Oh,dear." "Well,I should throw this dip out." "Thanks." "It'll be about ten minutes before I can make up a new batch." "Do you mind tellinyour boss?" "she's not my boss!" "bree!" "The room is simply lovely." "You've outdone yourself." "Thank you,mrs." "Downing." "Listen,when I present the founder's award tonight,I was wondering-- oh,dear." "Has no one spoken to you?" "About what?" "Uh,well... the committee has decided that it would be best if katherine mayfair present the award this year." "No!" "That'S... that's my job." "I always do it." "Oh,well,you're already doing so much,and,well,katherine was quite insistent." "what's that?" "Oh,it's dip." "The caterer just said that" "I thought we agreed." "Nothing leaves the kitchen without me tasting it first." "Dig in." "is everyone having fun?" "You and kathere did an amazing job." "Boy,we didn't think you guys could work together." "Yeah,we were sure one of you would end up killing the other." "You really should have more faith in people." "Excuse me." "katherine,darling,are you okay?" "not really." "I hope there'sothing wrong with the food." "Is anybody else getting sick?" "Oh,no." "No,dear." "Just you." "maybe you should go home." "I can'T." "I have to present the founder's award." "Oh,no one would expect you to do that in your condition." "You know what?" "Um,I could do it." "No." "I can get it together." "Katherine,no one expects you to be a martyr." "Why don't you go home?" "I can'T." "Why not?" "I'm perfectly capable of presenting." "I've done it for the last eight years." "I mean,no one wants to accept an award from a woman who looks like she should be in line at the needle exchange." "This is important to me." "I'll be fine." "and now for the presentation for the founder's award-- ms." "Katherine mayfair." "Thank you,mrs." "Downing." "I was honored when you and the other members of the committee asked me to present this award." ""I was honored when you..."myeah,myeah,myeah,myeah." "Bree,what's up?" "I thought giving out this award was your thing." "Used to be." "Not anymore." "Things change." "This year's founder's award... ever since I started working with that obnoxious backstabber, she's done nothing but try to take the spotlight off of me and put it onto her." "Goes to my dear friend... bree hodge." "The obnoxious backstabber just called your name." "Bree has been a pillar of the fairview community for many years." "There is no better friend than bree hodge." "Congratulations." "I know you tried to poison me." "Well,uh,this has been an evening full of,um... surprises." "I never would've imagined that,um,I would be recognized by this wonderful organization ... hi,andrew." "Guess what?" "Ur mom just won the founder's award." "Lynette,listen to me." "oh,my god." "You're not gonna believe what's going on down here." "What?" "What?" "Is everyone okay?" "Uh,yeah,yeah,yeah." "We're--we're fine." "It's rick's place-- totally went up in flames." "There,uh,there are,like,three fire trucks here." "Oh,my god!" "That's horrible!" "How did it start?" "I--they--they don't know." "Okay,I-I'm gonna--I'll call you back in about five." "Bye." "I certainly,uh,wasn't expecting it." "the photographer's asking if he can get shots of the two of us." "Wait." "I need to talk to you first." "I misunderstood the situation,that's all." "Can we just leave it at that?" "No,we can'T." "And do you know why?" "Because I thought things were going well." "I was having fun with you." "Obviously... i misunderstood." "So tell me,was there a straw that broke the camel's back?" "Or were you planning on killing me all along?" "here's the thing you need to understand about me and my friends." "We each have our niche." "Gabrielle's the glamorous one." "Susan's the adorable one." "Lynette's smart." "Edie'S...edie." "And I'm the domestic one,the organizer-- the one who knows that there are three tines on a dessert fork." "I'm the one who gets teased for that." "That's who i am." "And that's also who you are." "so?" "So..." "I don't really know how to be friends with you." "That's a shame... because I understand you better than all those other women do." "I know how following the rules and observing the little graces makes you feel like you're in control." "We've both had days where it was either set a beautiful table or curl up in a ball and die." "We're the same,bree." "And if you think that means we can't be friends,then I'm sorry." "But it might also mean we could be best friends." "Who knew you were so insightful?" "Isn't learning fun?" "terrific,everyone." "Thank you." "pictures." "so... did I lie?" "Was it cool?" "You were right." "It really was." ""thank you,julie."" "It's good to get out of my own head,you know?" "For months now,I've been hung up on looking for my dad and blaming my mom... and it's gotten me nowhere." "I just wanna start having fun again." "Thank you,julie." "there you are." "We wanted to get some pictures with you." "listen,I-I have a 12:00 curfew,so if my mom asks,can you just" "No,it's julie." "Oh,you're sleepwalking." "Yeah,I heard about that." "I'm sorry,mike." "Again,not mike." "Why don't I-I get you back to bed,and--and you can" "I'm sorry I ran you over,mike." "Blindness-- it's an affliction that prevents people from seeing what is right in front of them... like the wives who can't detect the jealousy that consumes their husbands... the women unable to see that a rival might also be a friend... the men who stay oblivious to the guilt that lies deep within them." "Yes..." "The world is filled with those who cannot see." "The most dangerous are the ones who stay blind to the evil within their own hearts." "How do we protect ourselves from these people?" "First,we have to open our own eyes and find them... before they find us."
