Episode Quotes
 
Bree: I love to try out new recipes before the holidays. That way if the cookbook has it wrong, I can fix it.
 
Bree: He could've been a sexual predator.
Rex: And he ended up at Mrs. Frome's? That's a lose-lose situation.
 
Susan: I'm mad because I like you so much without really knowing anything about you.
Mike: What do you want to know?
Susan: What do you think of me?
(Mike kisses Susan slowly and softly)
Susan: Could you repeat that, please?
 
Lynette: You can tell them how beautifully behaved the twins are.
Bree: So you want me to lie?
Lynette: I thought that was understood.
 
Mama Solis: Family should always hug, (whispering in Gabrielle's ear) regardless of how they feel about each other.
 
Rex: Oh come on, I'm staying at a motel. I haven't had a descent meal in weeks.
Bree: Honey, the marriage counseling may not work out. You need to get used to bad cooking.
 
Tom: Maybe it's time we look into homeschooling.
Lynette: I know you did not just say that.
Tom: Honey, it's got its advantages.You know, kids who are homeschooled do better in their later years.
Lynette: They won't make it to their later years if I have to spend all day with them.
 
Bree: When I looked out the window, I saw all of my mother's blood on the street, and nobody was doing anything about it, so I got a hose and I washed it off. And once it was clean I felt so much better.
 
Susan: I hate to bother you while you're working, but do you have change for a five? Preferably in quarters.
Prostitute: If I got paid in quarters, I must be doing something wrong.
