"Well,she's a baby.You hold her." "You bounce her and, I don't know,maybe sing a little something." "Ahh." "Oh,and xiao-mei, mr." "Solis does not need to know about this,okay?" " Okay." " Okay."

"But henry and I feelit's the right thing to do." "Absolutely not." "If we leave him here, the two of youwill wind up in court, and I'm notgoing to allow that." "Do you really think that I am enjoying airingmy dirty laundry in public?" "This whole situationis mortifying." "But I can't back downbecause he is my son, and I need more timeto get through to him." "You never give up." "I've always admired thatabout you." "When you were a kid, you used to makethese peanut butter cookies that were god-awful." "But you kept baking them, and you kept forcing everyoneto eat them." "you were so determinedto get them right." "My mother didn't thinkthey were awful." "When I made those same cookiesfor her, she loved them." "Well,some peoplepraise children even whenthey don't deserve it." "Oh,but not you." "With you,I had to work forevery kind word I ever got." "Well,you always resented mebecause of my high standards." "No." "I resented you because those were kick-asspeanut butter cookies." "We're taking andrew." "Eleanor,please... he hates you,bree." "Your own son." "You know,part of being an adult is admitting that you've failed, and then moving on... with grace." "Do you really think that I ama failure as a parent?" "well,I'd love to lieand say something supportive, but as you pointed out, that was moreyour mother's thing." "Xiao-mei?" "So sorry.I just take break." "Oh,no,xiao-mei,that's okay." "That's okay." "I know you were up all nightwith the baby, and I reallyappreciate it." "You know,I'm very grateful for everythingyou've been doing for lily." "So to thank you,I bought youa gift certificate to my spa." "And you can take a whole day offand just really pamper yourself." " Really?" " Mm-hmm." "Thank you!" "Oh,thank you!" "Oh,you're welcome." "All right,lily needsto be bathed and put to bed." "I don't wanna missmy yoga class." "Hi." "Hi,pretty girl." "Oh,yes,mommy has to go."

"Andrew just told me he'smoving in with his grandparents." "They live so far away, I'm never gonnasee him anymore." "I'm so sorry." "I know that you're good friends." "We're more than friends,mrs." "Van de kamp." "I love him." "Oh." "Why?" "Why?" "Yes.I'd be curious to know just what it isyou see in him." "Well,when my parentsfirst heard I was gay, they kicked me out." "They said I had debasedthe entire family and that they couldn'tlove me anymore until I changed." "But andrew-- he said that i should be ashamed of them, 'cause they were too stupidto know how great I was." "That's the thingabout andrew." "He doesn't take crapfrom anyone." "How can you notlove someone like that?" "You know,it never ceases to amaze me how people can turn their backson their own family." "I mean--but it happensevery day,doesn't it?" "I guess." "You know,justin,if youwould be willing to help," "I'm pretty sure that I could find a wayto keep andrew from moving." "What do you say?" "I'm home." " Oh,hi." " Hey,mrs." "Mccluskey." "So how did everything go?" "Fine." "Penny fussed a bit." "I think her molars are coming in." "Oh." "And the twinsfought over the remote." "There's nothing new there." "No." "here's the big news-- parker offered me a fudgsicleif I would show him my vagina." "Oh,good god,lynette,relax.I didn't do it." "I just got thisout of the freezer a second ago." "Uh,yeah." "Of course.No,sorry." "Apparently,parker wanted to puta sunflower seed inside me and see if a baby would grow." "Where do kids get this stuff?" "Oh... that was me." "He was asking aboutthe birds and the bees, and I fudgeda few of the details." "Well,he's only 7 years old." "I don't think he needsto know everything yet." "I don't wanna rob himof his innocence." "Well,now,that's where you're wrong." "You get 'emwhen they're young." "Give themall the gory details." "And then when they're goodand disgusted,you shame 'em." "Excuse me?" "You tell themsex is dirty and wrong and he shouldn'ttalk about it, and if he does,he's going straight to hell." "that is ridiculous." "Spoken likea true liberal idiot." "No,I'm notgonna shame my son." "Mm,I'm telling ya,it works." "It keeps peoplein their place, it keeps parentsfrom being humiliated, and it keeps me fromhaving to spend the afternoon talking about my woo-woo." "In your haste to duck out beforethe credits rolled,you... oh,my god!" "Oh,thank you so much." "I stuck a card in there, just in case you ever wanted to purposely sit next to meat a movie,so... orson,I'm flattered.Uh,really." "you--you don't wanna date me." "I-I mean,my love life is justso complicated right now." "Well... no,I won't bore youwith the details." "So the ex-boyfriend has no ideayou're secretly married to the ex-husband, who still loves you, but unless you give hima reason not to, is gonna marrythe neighborhood slut?" "Did I call edie a slut?" "Well,that's overstating it.Edie's not a slut." "She's just... popularwith indiscriminate men." "Anyway... yes,those arethe relevant players." "Okay." "Now I'm absolutelyhorrified that I'm about to saywhat I'm about to say, but there's nobody else I cantalk to who won't judge me." "And sinceyou're a complete stranger, I'll probablynever see you again unless I randomlyrun into you on the street, in which case,you'll ignore me'cause you know how crazy I am." "So here goes..." "I'm having feelingsfor karl again." "does that make mea terrible person?" "You wantmy unvarnished opinion?" "Lay it on me." "It doesn't make youa terrible person, but it does make you A... well... a sucker." "This karl's a coward." "He wants you to be the heavyand take all the responsibility." "If you're having feelingsfor a guy like that, I say run ...far,far away." "He lives three houses down." "Hmm.Well,good luck to you,then." "but like I said,if you'reinterested in a tooth whitening, my card'sstill in your wallet." "Xiao-mei?" "Xiao-mei?" "I'm late to meetmrs." "Van de kamp." "I'll be backin a little while." "bree..." "I'm so sorry I'm late." "Oh,honey,it's all right." "I mean,with the new baby at home, I'm surprisedyou made it at all." "Ooh,I'll have a drink.Anything with an umbrella." "So tell me,how are you doing?" "I mean,your entire worldmust be turned upside down." "You must be exhausted." "You know,it's been challenging,but I-I soldier on. (Chuckles) so what about you?" "You look so rested." "I just got a massageat misty spring." "Things have beena little tense at home, and I needed an hourto relax." "Good for you.I love that spa." "oh,by the way,while I was there, I saw your,uh, your housekeeper." "Xiao-mei?" "Oh,no,you must be mistaken." "I just left her." "She's at home working." "Are you sure?" "I was talkingto her in the steam room for about 20 minutes." " What?" " Yeah, apparently you gave hera gift certificate." "lily?" "Lily,mommy's coming!" "Oh,thank god!" "Oh,honey,I'm so sorry." "I'm never gonnaleave you again." "Oh!" "Yes." "Yes." "I'm home!" "My interview got canceled." "oh,that's my little girl." "Your chakra lining up nicefor mommy?" "That's my girl." "hey,let me take her off your chest so you can do your yoga." "No!" "No,no,no.We're doing just fine." "Aren't we,lily?" "bridezilla's got meauditioning wedding bands, and I'm clueless aboutedie's taste in music." "What do you thinkof these guys?" "That's why you brought me down here?" "Karl,you made it sound likeit was an emergency." "It is!" "I need to have somebodyto dance with so I can see if these guys have the powerto help me get my groove on." "Karl...uh-oh!" "Oh,that's right." "You like it laid-backand romantic,don't you?" "Guys,can we playsomething mellow?" "No,don't bother,'cause I'm going." "two..." " you are so beautiful..."

"Not if you don'twant me to." "Come on,susie Q." "I can see you stillhave feelings for me, and I know I havenever stopped loving you." "Okay,you want the truth?" "I don't knowhow I feel about you, but I keep looking at you, trying to see if you've changed,if you've grown up." "You know what I see?" "I see the same weak coward that walked out on methree years ago." "Of course I've changed." "I don't think so." "so I think you shouldprobably stay with edie." "and the band is good." "You should hire 'em." "what the hell?" "For god's sakes... what the hellare you doing in there?" "!" "This is my house.What are you doing?" "We're tenting for termites.We got a work order." "Signed by who?" "Paul..." "I've never been so embarrassedin my whole life." "They're supposedto be tenting my house." "I must've writtenthe address down wrong." "muchachos,mi casa est* aqu?" "You've taken it too farthis time." "These little mind gamesare gonna stop right now!" "and ifthey don't,whatcha gonna do?" "Blow out your brainslike your wife did?" " ahh!" " hey,hey!" " Hey,you okay?" " Did you hear that?" "He assaulted mefor an honest mistake." "God knows what would've happenedif you hadn't been here." "Let go!" "I talked to mrs." "Mccluskey,and for god's sakes,parker, you can't ask people things like that." "Why?" "Because... it's rude." "I said "please."" "Well,that doesn't matter!" "You gotta quit talkingto people about their bodies, and about where,you know,babies come from." " Why?" " because it's notan appropriate subject." "Why?" "Because it's not." " Why?" " Ugh!" "Because it's dirty and wrong, and I'll wash your mouth outwith soap!" "That's why." "In that moment, lynette saw a look on her son's face she had never seen before... and she thought of the look he had on his face when he had become obsessed with dinosaurs... obsessed with baseball" "and obsessed with trains." "And it occurred to lynette she didn't need to shame her son." "All he needed was a brand-new obsession." "But I thought you saidwe couldn't have a puppy." "Well... it turns outwe really needed one." "You can go and play." "And though she didn't know it at the time, it would be another three years before parker scavo would ever ask about sex again." "Karl." "What's going on?" "Uh,I'm on my wayto a motel." "I-I just wanted to let you knowthat the wedding is off." "It is?" "I told edieI wasn't in love with her-- at least,not in the waythat she deserves." "Wow." "Why did you changeyour mind?" "I mean,I hope it wasn't because of me,because I told you-- it wasn't for you." "No?" "You were right." "I have been a coward." "I was a coward three years ago when I walked out on the two most important peoplein my life." "And I was being a cowardwith edie." "I mean,to even consider marrying her when I know what real passionand real love feels like." "Anyway,I-I-I just thoughtI'd let you know." "Karl... you look pretty beat up." "why--why don't you...why don't you come in and... we'll crack opena bottle of wine." "Come on." "All right,here we go." "This is the lastof andrew's things." "Once we tape up these boxes,we can start loading the car." "I'm proud of you,bree." "You're being awfully bigabout this." "Well,I have to admit,I was a bit upset at first." "But then it hit me." "You're his grandparents." "You should bond, get to know the real andrew." "oh,dad,I-I forgot to warn you." "These are someof andrew's adult videos." "I don't approve,but boys will be boys." "Oh,henry,stop looking at that filth." "I don't get it." "Where are the women?" "What are you talking about?" "This is all just a bunch of... naked men." "Sweet mother of god.What the hell are they doing?" "I don't know,and I don'teven know what I'm looking at." "Henry,this is pornographyfor ho-homosexuals." "Oh,shoot!" "I wish youhadn't gone through that." "Now we have to havean unpleasant conversation, and we were havingsuch a nice time." "Bree,is... is andrew... gay?" "Oh,dad,andrew hates labels." "I'm sure it's just a phase." "Excuse me, but he has a magazine titled"leather daddies in love."" "That does not sound likea phase to me." "Maybe not,but it's no longer my concern now that he'll be livingwith you." "We have to havea serious talk." "Let's don't freak outabout this." "The dutch therapist says-- forget the dutch therapist!" "In the kitchen!" "now!" "hey,where's grandma and grandpa?" "I need to startloading up my stuff." "Oh,they,uh,they already left." "Wait... they left?" "Without me?" "Uh,yeah,they wrote you a letter." "It seems they came acrosssome personal items of yours that, um, upset them." "They're taking awaymy trust fund?" "They can't do that!" "Well,actually they can." "I mean,it's their money todispense with as they see fit." "I knowit doesn't seem fair,but-- no,it's really unfair." "In fact,it sucks."
