  Episode Quotes  
Gabrielle: Yeah, I’ve seen who you’ve been busy with.
John: Danielle? Come on, I mean, she’s just a friend.
Gabrielle: Well, before you get any friendlier, let me remind you, I can do things to you she can’t even pronounce.
 
Lynette: Seriously, you’re taking your kids medication?
Jordana: Once in a while. Do you want a couple?
Lynette: Oh, that’s very kind of you, but I just smoked some crack a little while ago, so I better not mix.
 
Bree: (About sex) I love everything about it. The sensations, the smells. I especially love the feel of a man. All that muscle and sinew pressed against my body. And then, when you add friction. Mmm. . . the tactile sensation of running my tongue over a man’s nipple ever so gently. And then there’s the act itself - two bodies becoming one in that final eruption of pleasure. To be honest, the only thing I don’t like about sex is the scrotum. I mean, obviously it has its practical applications, but I’m just not a fan.
 
Julie: How am I supposed to blend in with a bunch of messed up teenagers?"
Susan: I dunno, pretend you're bulimic, gag a little.
