Episode Quotes
 
Mary Alice: Bree Van De Kamp had a weekly routine she'd been following for years. She cleaned on Tuesdays, she paid her bills on Wednesdays, she did her laundry on Thursdays, and after these daily chores were completed, she would reward herself with a little drink; what Bree didn't know was this latest addition to her routine had been noticed by her friends and it had now become part of their routine to discuss it.
 
Gabrielle: So... We're auditioning to be parents?
Adoption Agency Lady: I guess you could say that...
Gabrielle: So just to be clear... Some slutty cheerleader gets knocked up by the soccer coach behind the local gas'n'gulp and she is gonna make sure we're quality people?
Carlos: You don't need to answer that...
 
Carlos: Gaby, these pictures have to be wholesome. They gotta say, "These people will do a great job raising a child."
Gabrielle: So?
Carlos: So you're topless!
Gabrielle: Yeah, but it's St. Bart's, and your hands are covering my naughty parts.
Carlos: You mean the hand that's holding the tequila shot, or the one that's holding the Cuban cigar?
Gabrielle: Yeah, that was a great trip...
 
Lynette: So boys, how do you enjoy the meatloaf?
Preston: It's a little salty...
Lynette: Just eat it!
 
Bree: For the record, I did not punch my son - I slapped him with an open palm.
Andrew: Yeah, but Mom, the thing is... when you drink, you don't know your own strength...
 
Carlos: Helen! You work here!
Adoption Agency Lady: You all know each other? What a small world!
Helen: It sure is. Mrs. Solis hired my son to do her yard work, and also she would rape him.
 
Susan: I think I have to break up with Dr. Ron.
Lynette: What?! Why?!
Susan: Because he's a gem, and apparently he loves me.
Lynette: I'm sorry, I'm not following.
 
Carlos: (sighs) this is a sign...
Gabrielle: Will you shut up?
Carlos: We lost the baby, found out we can’t conceive another one, and ran into Helen Rowland at an adoption agency - God is obviously trying to tell us something.
Gabrielle: Carlos, we're Catholics, okay? God is pretty johnny-one-note on the whole subject of procreation!
 
Carlos: This is the first time I really felt like you wanted to have a baby.
Gabrielle: (sighs) Well, this is the first time someone told me I couldn't have one.
 
Zach: Just curious, why was it so important you see me?
Noah: You're my grandson, my flesh and blood. Isn't it only natural I want a relationship with you?
Zach: What kind of relationship can we have when I know you tried to kill my dad?
 
Dr. Ron: Let's cut this bitch open!
