"I'd just feel more comfortable if I'm close by." "Oh, that's crazy." "I mean, jackson wouldn't want you sittin' around here worrying about him." "I'm sorry." "We'll go fishing another time."

"I mean, you came in my life when I was going through a really hard time, and you were amazing." " I mean, you are amazing." " You, too." "So... did the immigration people tell you how they found out about you?" "Anonymous tip." "Although it's pretty obvious who "anonymous" is." "does mike really think I'm that stupid?" "Mike?" "You think mike did this?" "Who else?" "Mike and katherine were the only people who knew." "Katherine was doing cartwheels about us getting married, so... yeah, but, no, this doesn't make any sense because mike knew that it wasn't for real." "Well, real or not, he had the look of a guy who's not ready to give you up, so-- time's up." "Uh, I-I gotta go." "I'll try and call you again before I leave." "how was the campus tour?" "Fantastic."

"Okay, so preston still needs a little convincing." "But I don'T." "I'm going back to school." "Wh-what's that now?" "Okay.I know it's a little out of left field, but walking across the quad, I felt so alive." "I spoke with someone in admissions, and all I have to do is pass an entrance exam." "So..." "You would be a college student... again." "25 years after the first time." "But this time--focused." "This time, knowing exactly what I wanna major in." " Which is?" " Chinese." "Chinese?" "chinese?" "As in "moo goo gai pan" chinese?" "What's he gonna do with that, watch bruce lee movies without the subtitles?" "we didn't get that far." "I felt faint, and he left to go buy a backpack." "Lynette, that's bad." "Well, it's just so random, and the worst part is if I point that out, I'm a bitch." "Why is that?" "When did being practical and realistic become synonymous with bitchiness?" "The first time a man did something stupid, and a woman pointed it out." "I know tom." "He's going to learn how to count to ten in chinese, then he'll get bored and move on to his new dream of becoming a beekeeper." "Well, then you have no choice." "Bite the bullet and bitch." "No, she has a choice." "It's entirely possible to get what you want without being perceived of as a nagging shrew." "Please, sensei, instruct me in your ancient ways." "Well, the key is to not let them know what you're doing." "This requires observation, cunning and manipulation." "Isn't it just easier to shut down your hoo-ha until he gives in?" "I think that bree is right-- that the more tom sees you digging in your heels, the more he's gonna wanna do it." "So you wait for an opportunity that you can use to your advantage while at the same time appearing supportive." "That's your advice?" "Hope an opportunity just drops in my lap?" "Might as well start shopping for beekeeper suits." "oh, you guys, I'm sorry." "I gotta run." "I need to talk to mike." "Oh, he's in the shower, but I'll tell him you stopped by." "Oh, no need.I'll wait." "Orson, I'm home." "have a seat." "so there never was a robbery." "You took these things, hoping to hide them from me." "And though I've tried to come up with a reason, I can'T." "So I'm forced to ask the question why." "Why would you do such a thing?" "I want a divorce." "I'm sorry.I don't understand." "My lawyer says you're entitled to half of everything we've acquired during the marriage, so I was trying to hide some of those things, since--let's face it" " I paid for them." "You've already hired a lawyer?" "Yes, but I'm tired of all the lying and the sneaking around, so I will inform him that you can have whatever you like." "I don't want a divorce." "Well, that part's non-negotiable." "Can't we at least talk about this?" "There's no point." "So you should get a piece of paper, start to make a list of what it is you wish to take with you." "So...you don't want any of it?" "No.All I want is out." "You know, he might be a while." "Sure I can't help you?" "No, I need to talk to mike." "Now you could flush the toilet and try to get him out of there." "you seem upset." "Something happened?" "Did mike turn jackson in to immigration?" "No.Why would he do that?" "I don't know.Jealousy?" "Jackson thinks mike is still hung up on me." "Trust me, susan." "Shower's off." "I guess we'll know in a few seconds." "Listen... mike couldn't have called immigration because I never told him that jackson was marrying you for a green card." "Well, somebody did, because he sent me a text agreeing to keep paying me alimony." "That was me." "I sent it." "Are you insane?" "Why would you do something-- mike has asked me to marry him." "What?" "and I was afraid that if he found out that you weren't really in love with jackson, that he might change his mind about me." "Okay, katherine, that is... it's totally unfair to mike." "I mean, he needs to know the truth." "I can make him happy, susan." "He just needs to get over you." "katherine?" "please, don't ruin this." "hey, you wanna just order in?" "Oh, hey, susan." "I'm glad you're here." "Um, I have something I wanna tell you." "I... katherine already told me about your big news." "Okay." "well, I hope we have your blessing." "yes, sure." "why not?" "I'm sorry, susan." "I was gonna tell you myself." "Well, don't be mad at katherine." "We all know that she just can'T... keep a secret." "Wow, this place is looking worse than ever." "Yeah, aunt connie's salons haven't been doing so well." "You know, maybe you should take off some of those diamonds." "You walk in there like that, you're gonna make her feel bad about herself." "Say no more." "You know, aunt connie's like a second mother to me." "Why do you hate her so much?" "Because all she ever does is put me down." "If you'd pay attention, you'd see what I'm talking about." "There's my carlos!" "hi, tíA." "are these the girls?" "No!" "They're so grown up!" "and, gaby... is it just me, or do you get more beautiful every time I see you?" "No, it's not just you." "Comeere.Give me a hug." "Let me see your palms." "Gaby." "Fine." "now come on in!" "The whole family's here." "And I've made some of my world-famous tamales." "Aunt connie seems nice." "Maybe she's changed." "Trash don't change, sweetheart.She's up to something." "Now come on, let's go grab a lawn chair before we get stuck on the grass with the fire ants." "tom scavo, this is mr." "Cuings.We met during your tour of the campus." "Forgive me, but gave you the wrong date for the admissions test." "It's tomorrow at 8:00 A.M." "So get a good night's sleep, and we'll see you first thing in the morning." "help!" "Coming.I'm coming." "It goes...there." "So..." "I was thinking this whole going back to school thing... deserves a little cebration." "Really?" "I didn't think you were on board." "I wanna be supportive." "Let's go for a nice dinner, get a bottle of wine... maybe two, since we don't have to wake up early tomorrow." "Or we can go to that mexican place that has those great margaritas." "Oh, tom.You and tequila?" "What a great idea." "Okay, everybody, I need you to gather around." "Aunt connie has something to say." "Gaby, come on.My tía's waiting." "Well, let her wait.I need something to drink." "I mean trying to keep down one of her "world-famous" tamales." "thank you all so much for coming today." "It's been so long since we've been together." "We love you, aunt connie." "Oh, and I love all of you." "There's nothing more important than family." "And now I have an announcement to make." "As manof you know, I've battled a weak heart for most of my life." "And the doctor now tells me that I may only have a few months left." "sorry.Bad heart.Floor's all yours." "as some of you know, I've been taking care of my granddaughter, my beautiful ana." "Because of my condition, I can't do it anymore, and I need someone to take her in." "I realize that this is a lot to ask." "We would love to help out, but miguel just lost his job." "We're barely scraping by." "I understand." "Obviously, it has to be someone who can afford to do this." "We wish we could, but we've got such a full house." "Maybe it should be someonewho doesn't have kids." "I know this is not gonna be easy, but we're family, and this is what we do for each other." "well, you know...we're still gonna be family tomorrow, so i think we should think about it overnight and search our hearts, and try to figure out which one of your homes is best for ana." "Gabrielle's right." "And please know that I won't judge any of you harshly if you decide that you cannot take care of my beautiful granddaughter." "We love you, aunt connie!" "Yay!" "what are you doing?" "I'm helping." "I don't need any help." "And besides, my parisian salad doesn't call for any chives." "Yes.I've always thought it was a bit bland." "I think the chives will give it the bite it's so sorely lacking." "My salad has plenty of bite." "So...when are you moving out?" "Actually, I'm not." "Excuse me?" "Oh, I've decided to stay so we can work on our marriage." "Am I cutting these too fine?" "Orson, I understand this is a shock, but you have to face facts." "Our marriage is over." "Ah, once you weigh what's at stake, I think you'll change your mind." "Well, if you're referring to the financial settlement, I already told you, I don't care anymore." "No, actually, I'm referring to your freedom." "I've been to jail, bree.Trust me, you wouldn't last ten seconds." "Jail?" "Yes, of course." "Well, insurance fraudis a serious crime." "Ah, but I never filed an insurance claim." "Ah, but idiD." "What?" "Yes, I thought we were robbed." "So, of course, I did the responsible thing and reported it... on both our behalves." "And since you rather carelessly rented the storage unit under your own name," "I think the police will find me completely blameless." "You would actually send your wife to prison?" "My wife?" "No." "My ex-wife?" "You bet." "But it won't come to that, darling." "I know we can get back to what we both once had." "That will never happen." "And sure we've had our challenges-- your penchant for emasculation, my kleptomania." "But every marriage has its ebb and flow." "Orson, pleasdon't do this." "I don't love you." "That's all right, darling." "I have enough love for the both of us." "Not bland anymore." "the girls are sacked out." "Can we talk now?" "What's there to talk about?" "You won't even let the girls get a golden retriever, and now you wanna take in a teenager?" "It's not about what I want.It's about doing the right thing." "This is what family does for each other." "Well, luckily, it's a big family.Let her go live with nina and luis." "They have eight kids." "So what's one more?" "They'll never know the difference." "You're being selfish." "No, I'm thinking about our children." "They're so happy.Taking in a kid we don't even know?" "That's a huge risk." "Yeah, it's the same risk my aunt connie took for me and my mother." "When my father left, mam* and i had nowhere else to turn." "Aunt connie opened her home to us.She saved us fm the streets." "Yeah, and knowing aunt connie, she's waited all these years to call that favor in." "She's probably dying on purpose." "Babe, we are so blessed." "This is a chance for us to give back." "Maybe god gave me back my sight and all this money so I could help my family." "Gaby, think about it." "If something happened to us, wouldn't you want someone to do this for our two gir?" "okay, whoa, whoa, easy.You're a little drunk there." "That's 'cause I love you, lynette!" "I love you, too, baby.Here you go." "And I love you, preston." "I'm porter." "I could never tell you two apart." "But you're my favorite." "lynette!" "How come you let me drink so many margaritas?" "Yeah, and why did we have to stay till closing?" "It's almost 2:00." "Who cares what time it is?" "We were celebrating a big change in your dad's life." "Hey, someone called." "tom scavo, this is mr." "Cummings.We met during your tour of the campus." "Forgive me, but I gave you the wrong date for the admissions test." "It's tomorrow at 8:00 A.M." "oh, cram!" "I gotta crap for that test!" "Ooh, jeez." "Dr.Heller please contact me immediately." "Claire" "they're on to you." "those messages you sent to my receptionist didn't fool anybody." "They've identified my body,and now they're trying to trap you." "It's not gonna work." "They can trace those signals,dave." "They're going to find you." "it's too late." "Whatever plan you had,it went to hell when you killed me." "You should've stayed on your meds." "Y-you don't know what you're talking about." "I'm getting away with this." "Why would you want to?" "I don't mean to criticize,but I thought you were doing this for us." "I am." "I want justice for our family." "Then who cares if you're caught?" "We miss you,dave." "We should be together." "So...what are you saying?" "So I should just...walk over and kill M.J.Now?" "Sure." "Why not?" "And let's face it,your plan to take the kid to somlake and pretend he accidentally drowned?" "boring." "hey,isn't it better than susan know why her son had to die?" "I mean,the whole point is to make her suffer." "Right?" "That's true." "And then the whole world will finally understd what you've been going through." "Yeah,that's it!" "Good job." "One more just like that." "Um,can I talk to you a sec?" "Yeah." "Sure." "I'm gonna get some juice." "You want anything?" "Um,no,thanks." "So,look,uh..." "I'm sorry if I was a little under-enthusiastic the other day about you and katherine getting married." "Oh,well,I understand." "You just found out your fianc?" "was being deported." "The timing kind of sucked." "Yeah." "That and,uh..." "I don't know." "It d-did kind of come out of nowhere." "Well,we have been living together." "I know." "But still..." "I mean,it happened so fast.I just..." "I wanna make sure that you know what you're doing." "Susan..." "I know." "And feel free to throw me out of your house if I'm out of line... but do you love her?" "why would you ask that?" "Just answer the question." "Yeah." "I love her." "Good." "That's all I needed to hear." "well,I hope that you will be very happy together." "And I hope everything works out for you and jackson." "Yeah,well,I don't know if that's gonna happen." "What do you mean?" "You two aren't getting married?" "Oh,the truth is,um... well,it's complicated." "Hey,susan!" "M.J.Told me you were here." "What are you guys talking about?" "We were talking about you,actually." "Me?" "what about me?" "Well..." "I realized that I never properly congratulated you on getting married." "Really?" "Really." "hey,babe." "How'd the test go?" "It's as though..." "I dug down deep and I found a nelevel of suck that I never knew I had in me." "I'm sure it wasn't that bad." "Lynette..." "I puked tequila in the parking lot,I-I passed out twice in the essay section, and I giggled uncontrollably when I read the word "uranus."" "Add to that that I'm pretty sure that I spelled "scavo" wrong, and it is a safe bet that I will not be broadening my horizons anytime soon." "Don't sweat it." "You wanted to learn chinese... mm,we'll get you a book." "Mandarin is a very complicated language." "you can't get the kind of fluency you need for the professional marketplace from a book." "Marketplace?" "That's the whole point." "China is one of the world's fastest growing economies." "The opportunities for someone with my marking experience who can speak the language are amazing." "I mean,we're talking beaucoup bucks." "I could've totally reinvented myself." "That'S...a brilliant plan." "Why didn't you tell me this?" "What does it matter?" "It's over." "I'm sorry I let you down." "You're getting married this weekend?" "Yeah." "That's the good thing about vegas." "Doesn't require any planning." "oh,my gosh." "You know what?" "Why don't you come with us?" "You could be my maid of honor." "That's ridiculous,isn't it?" "It's sweet,but... yeah,it's ridiculous." "and besides,um,M.J.And I have big plans this weekend." "hey,dave." "Glad I caught you." "Is your friend's boat still available this weekend?" "What?" "Well,I was thinking about what you said,and you were right." "It really would do me good to get out of here for a few days." "You're right." "It would do us all some good." "Carlos!" "You have no idea how much this means to me, knowing that you and gaby will be looking after my beautiful ana." "I can finally be at peace." "I love you,too." "And tell gaby I said thank you." "bye." "So...are you gonna tell him the truth about ana?" "Oh,they'll find out soon enough." "hello?" "I'm trying to reach roberta simmonds." "Speaking,but barely." "Who's this?" "This is claire cormier,dr." "Heller's receptionist." "Do you remember me?" "Yeah,sure." "But I'm right in the middle of my breakfast,so if you'd call me back around 11:00..." "I just thought you might wanna know the police stopped by." "They told me that dr." "Heller is dead." "Yeah,go on." "I'm listening." "Dr. Heller died in a fire at the white horse?" "And apparently,there was no smoke in his lungs." "Which means he was dead before the fire started." "My guess?" "The person he was coming to see is the person who killed him." "Dave." "Dave." "Roberta,what are we gonna do?" "Go to the police." "And tell 'em what?" "Well,we know dr." "Heller was a criminal psychologist,and we're pretty sure dave was his patient." "I'd feel better if we had proof." "I'd feel better if I had a functioning liver,but sometimes you have to play the hand you're dealt." "If we walk into the police with a half-cocked story,they're gonna laugh us out of the station." "I don't know how,but we--we gotta give 'em something more." "Didn't you tell me dave once broke into your house?" "Yeah." "Why?" "Maybe it's time we returned the favor." "You know,when you missed your appointment on monday,we thought maybe you skipped out on us." "Yeah,well,as you can see,I was otherwise detained." "You know this guy?" "No." "Who is he?" "Samuel heller--the john doe who died in the club fire." "You sure you didn't see him when you were in that back hallway?" "No." "Well,like I told you that night,I was only back there for a minute." "And you didn't see anybody?" "Aw,jeez,it was a long time ago." "No." "I was looking for the men's room." "I ran into dave williams." "He was coming out of the storage room-- wait." "You saw dave williams coming out of the storage room?" "Yeah." "Didn't I tell you that before?" "I thought it was the bathroom,but dave pointed me in the right direction." "D right after that,somebody locked you in." "Come on." "You don't think dave did that." "I don't know." "He have any reason to harm you?" "No." "We're friends." "He's one of the nicest guys I've ever met." "Well,thank you for your time,mr." "Braddock." "I'm sorry I couldn't be more help." "How many times we talk to this williams guy?" "oh,I don't know." "Four?" "He ever mention anything about being in that storage room?" "He did not." "And I'm gonna catch a fish this big." "Well,if you do,we're gonna clean it and serve it up for dinner." "And if I don't,can we eat the worms?" "just make sure he catches a fish." "Hey,mike,I got something for you." "It's a veo from our band,one of our early rehearsals." "Man,do I even want to see this?" "Yeah." "We weren't half bad." "Don't watch it till you get back from your honeymoon." "Okay?" "Will do." "Thanks." "Okay. bye,mike." "Have a nice wedding."

"How many do you have?" "Not as many as I used to." "I had to make some cutbacks." "Yeah, the economy has hit us all." "So... what kind of boyfriends can afford things like this?" "They're college guys with rich parents who can pay for everything." "And so... they give you designer clothes, and you give them... the pleasure of my company." "Yeah. okay, well... don't take this the wrong way, but that's not exactly from the versace virgin line." "I don't have to do anything." "They just have to think I might." "Uh-huh, and how long do you think that will last?" "Till 10:00, 11:00 on the weekends." "Just kidding." "It was a joke." "Funny." "Are you all right?" "What happened to your shirt?" "Why don't you ask your friend?" "The one you hired to assault me." "You were assaulted?" "He, uh... grabbed me by the throat, threw me to the ground and told me to "let go."" "Your message came through loud and clear." "I had nothing to do with that." "Please." "Who else would have done it?" "I don't know." "But I swear to you,we may have our differences,but I would never hire someone to attack you." "You have to believe me." "I do." "Forgive me." "I should've known you could never hurt me." "I'll stay." "What?" "Once I've unpacked,I'll bring you my shirt so you can mend it." "We're just running to the store,ana.We'll be back in a bit." "Okay.I'll sweep the porch while you're gone." "And if you don't mind,will you make sure juanita and celia do their chores,too?" "Sure thing." "I got the rest,babe." "All right,I'll see you inside." "oh,you're bk." "Oh,my god." "Ana,the houses so clean." "Just wanted to do my part." "Well,how did you get everything down so quickly?" "we finished upstairs,ana.Anything else you need done?" "They wanted to hang out,but I had chores to do,so they insisted on helping me." "Aren't ty sweet?" "Hey,um,I'm not bragging and I don't recommend it, but you could so eat out of your downstairs toilet." "Okay,boys,thanks for your hard work,but maybe it's time to go home and take a shower... preferably a cold one." "Bye,preston." "I'm porter." "I'm preston." "Oh,you can call me whatever you want." "All right." "Mommy,it was so cool." "Ana got the boys to do my chores,too." "Did she?" "I wanna learn how to make boys do stuff." "Can you teach me?" "Uh,okay,juanita,go to your room." "And don't come out until you're 18." "Is something wrong?" "Ana,the whole point of chores is that you do them." "You don't bat your eyes and call rent-a-horny-kid." "The house is clean." "What do you care how it got that way?" "I care about the message it sends to my little girls, and I'm starting to care a little bit about your tone." "Oh,I'm sorry." "How do you like your housekeepers to speak to you?" "and the teenager has finally arrived." "Ana,listen." "We want you to be part of this family." "We will love you and support you and take care of you, but in exchange,you will show us a little bit of respect and obey our rules, which means doing your own chores,no boys in the house and no more gifts from men." "I get it now." "You're jealous." "Of what?" "Of me." "You're not young anymore.You can't get guys to do things for you, and that drives you crazy." "you wanna see crazy?" "Make one more statement like that,and I am throwing your ass out on the street." "You care to test me?" "ana?" "What's wrong?" "I don't know what I did." "She wants to kick me out." "so she had a couple boys come over and do her chores." "You've been doing stuff like that your whole life." "That's not the point!" "You didn't hear the way she talked to me!" "I don't care!" "You don't tell a kid who's been bounced around her whole life that you're gonna throw her out on the street!" "I didn't tell her that!" "I just... kind of threatened to." "Bottom line--she is my niece,and she is not going anywhere." "You're the adult,gaby.Start acting like it." "I know this looks bad,but we did what we did for a good reason." "Ma'am,you can't break into a person's house for any reason." "Uh,what if there's a baby inside and there's a fire?" "see?" "Everything's not all cut and dry,is it,rookie?" "Roberta,don't piss him off." "You can't take a club to the head like you used to." "Okay,I just got off the phone with heller's secretary." "David dash was definitely a patient there." "well,that's why we couldn't make the match." "He changed his last name." "Mm-hmm,and get this." "He's the same guy whose wi and daughter were killed in that car crash up on canterbury road." "canterbury road!" "I remember that accident." "My neighbors mike and susan were in the car that hit 'em." "Oh,wait.Now wait.Okay,that's weird." "I mean,why would dave move onto the same street as the people who killed his family?" "The doctor hasour results.He'll be here in a minute." "Do you know what they are?" "You'll need to talk to the doctor about that." "Come on.I know you know." "It's cancer again.Am I right?" "I honestly don't know.Now please,he'll just be a moment." "If it's cancer,and I find out you knew,I won't be dying alone." "Hello,lynette." "Well,I'm glad you came in we got the results back,and the test did pick something up." "So it is the cancer." "oh,god,I can't go through this again!" "No,no,no.It's nothing like that." "You're pregnant." "Excuse me?" "About six weeks or so." "Are you sure it's not cancer?" "okay,susan." "But when you're out on the boat,make sure you put on sunscreen." "And on your feet,too." "Remember our trip to mexico?" "okay,I'll talk to you guys later." "Everything's fine." "I don't know what I was worried about." "Are you sure you wanna do this?" "Do what?" "Go to vegas,get married." "I mean,it is a whole weekend away from susan." "katherine,I told you.I just wanted to make sure M.J.Was okay." "why don't you just admit it?" "You're still hung up on her." "Oh,for god sake,are we gonna do this again?" "All I know is,it's our wedding day,and you were in a crappy mood until you talked to your ex-wife." "Katherine,I wouldn't be sitting here if I didn't want to marry you." "Okay?" "Really?" "Really." "Do I need to shout it out in the airport?" "You wouldn't do that." "Oh,I will." "I'll--I'll do whatever I need t to prove my love!" "no,it's okay!" "You convinced me." "I am dying for a cappuccino." "You want one?" "yeah,I do." "You said it."I do."" "can't take it back now." "should be allowed to just... walk away." "I know some people will wonder,why didn't I just kill susan?" "But what good would that have done?" "She'd be dead.There'd be no...suffering." "And to those of you who hate me because I took the life of an innocent,young boy,I say... katherine!" "Excuse me.That woman I was with?" "Tell her I had to go.It's an emergency." "oh,uh,your friend asked me to tell you he had to leave." "What?" "He said to say he's sorry." "what were you thinking?" "First,tell me if it worked,then I'll tell you what I was thinking." "Don't be glib." "Did you hire someone to attack orson?" "Yes." "Are you insane?" "Your thug tried to strangle him." "If he had tried to strangle him,he'd be dead." "Look,orson had the upper hand in this divorce.We needed to regain it." "Not by resorting to physical violence." "I would never have given my permission for that." "That's why I didn't ask you." "W-what's your beef here,bree?" "My beef is that from the minute I walked into this office, you have pulled me deeper and deeper into your moral cesspool." "That is not why I hired you." "Please.That is exactly why you hired me." "Facet.You were tired of being a good girl." "You knew it was time to play dirty." "I wanted to protect what was mine." "You have turned into someone I don't recognize." "And you've loved every minute of it." "No,I haven'T." "Yes,you have!" "And so have I." "Because the truth is,I think you're the most fascinating woman that I have ever met." "What?" "Karl...if I have not been clear about how I feel about you," "I apologize for any ambiguity." "Understand this-- I detest you." "No,you don'T." "I can see it in your eyes." "You want me to walk over there and pull you up against me and kiss you until your knees buckle." "You're fired." "Good.That keeps this from being a breach of ethics." "my knees haven't buckled yet." "* she swallowed the spider to catch the fly *" "* I don't know why she swa-- * oh,it's your daddy.hey,mike." "Hey,where are you?" "Are you with dave?" "Uh,yeah.We are in the car,singing." "All right,susan,listen to me." "Do not react to what I'm about to tell you." "This sounds really-- -susan!" "Do you understand me?" "Okay." "Dave's real name is david dash." "He's the husband of the woman we killed in the accident." "Oh,my god." "Don't react!" "problem?" "that sucks." "How could they cancel your flight?" "All right,you guys are in danger.Just get away from him." "Go to a gas station,a store...anyplace there's people." "I'm on my way." "Right." "So how long do you think you'll be delayed?" "Uh,I'm a half-hour from the lake.I'm calling the cops right now." "Just get away from him.Get out of that car and get away from dave." "And you call me the second you do." "well,I hope you get there soon." "bumped his flight?" "Oh,what a drag." "Okay,from the top."

"Okay.It's no big deal." "Hon!" "look what I got for college." "I got pens.I got notebooks."
