Episode 01.02 - "Ah, But Underneath" Mary Alice: "An odd thing happens when we die. Our senses vanish. Taste, touch, smell, and sound become a distant memory. But our sight. Ah. Our sight expands. And we can suddenly see the world we left behind so clearly. Of course, most of what's visible to the dead can also be seen by the living. If they only take the time to look." Susan: "It doesn't matter. She was his wife. He deserves to have all the facts." Bree: "Well, we could do it gently. We could tell him about it over coffee and pastry." Lynette: "That'll be fun. 'Paul, we have proof your wife killed herself over some deep, dark, secret. Another bear claw?'" Bree: "Do you remember when you proposed?" Rex: "For God's sake." Bree: "We sat on Skyline Drive and drank a bottle of apple wine and when we finished it, you turned to me and you said, 'If you marry me, Bree Mason, I promise to love you for the rest of my life.' And even though I was engaged to Ty Grant, and even though my father didn't like you, I said yes." Rex: "That was a long time ago." Bree: "You are going to cancel the meeting with that divorce lawyer and we are going to find ourselves a marriage counselor." Rex: "Bree!" Bree: "You promised." Rex: "All right." Bree: "Good. I'm gonna go, uh, make myself some warm milk. Would you like something to drink?" Rex: "Anything but apple wine." Julie: "Dear Diary. Mike doesn't even know I'm alive." Susan: "Shut up." Julie: "If you want to date him, you're gonna have to ask him out.' Susan: "I keep hoping he'll ask me out." Julie: "How's that going?" Susan: "Shouldn't you be making brownies for your nerdy friends?" Carlos: "Don't be that way. I got you a gift." Gabrielle: "Nope. No, no, no, no. You're not gonna buy your way out of this one. Carlos: "It's a good gift." Gabrielle: "Is that white gold?" Carlos: "Yeah. Put it on. And then make love to me." Gabrielle: "I'm not in the mood. But, we could stay up and talk." Carlos: "When a man buys a woman expensive jewelry, there are many things he may want in return. For future reference, conversation ain't one of them." Susan: "Did you want to have dinner with me?" Mike: "Just the two of us? Susan: "Well, and Julie. Uh, it's a thing we do when somebody new moves into the neighborhood, we invite them over for a home-cooked meal. It's sort of a tradition." Mike: "I thought you said you were a lousy cook." Susan: "Well, I order take-out." Mike: "Oh. You invite them over for home-cooking and you give 'em takeout." Susan: "Yeah, it's, it's, uh, it's sort of a new tradition. I'm working out the kinks." Mike: "I'll tell you what. How 'bout I cook. And you guys come over to my place?" Susan: "Oh! Great." Mike: "Friday night at six?" Susan: "I'll be there." Susan: "Mike Delfino just invited us to dinner Friday night." Julie: "He did? Cool!" Susan: "But only I'm going. Because you're going to come down with something semi-serious that requires bed rest. And fluids." Edie: "It's all gone. Everything my ex-husband worked for all those years. Gone." Mrs. Huber:"Don't worry about clothing. I already started a collection from people from the neighborhood." Edie: "What? I don't want to wear other people's old crap." Mrs. Huber: "Edie, you can be homeless or you can be ungracious. You really can't afford to be both." Rex: "The answer is yes. You're about to make a fortune off us." Cop: "Okay. I'm not gonna give you a ticket. I'm gonna let you off with a warning." Lynette: "I accept your apology." John: "Ah. This is great. I got tons of homework tonight. It's so easy to concentrate after sex." Gabrielle: "Well, I'm glad I could help. Education is very important." John: "I was gonna give it to you next time I mowed your lawn, but since you're here." Gabrielle: "Oh, it's a rose!" John: "It's not just any rose. Look at the petals. There aren't any flaws. It's perfect." Gabrielle: "Oh, John." John: "Just like you." Mike: "Should I have told her we were having steak? She's not like, a vegetarian or something, is she?" Susan: "Oh, no, no. Edie's definitely a carnivore." Mrs. Huber: "By the way, was that you I saw getting pulled over by a policeman?" Lynette: "Yeah, the boys were acting up in the car. I couldn't get them to sit down." Mrs. Huber: "Young boys can be so willful." Lynette: "I try everything. I scream. I threaten. I reason. I beg. Nothing works. I don't know if it's because they're too young and they don't understand or they're just getting some perverse joy out of testing me." Mrs. Huber: "My mother used to have the worst time with me in the car. So one time when I was acting up, she stopped and left me on the side of the road and she drove off." Lynette: "You're kidding." Mrs. Huber: "Oh, she came back immediately. But I never misbehaved in the car again. You should try that." Lynette: "Mrs. Huber, I could never leave my kids by the side of the road." Mrs. Huber: "When it comes to discipline, sometimes you must be creative. My mother knew that. Smart lady. Of course, she's in a home now. And her mind has just turned to mush." Mrs. Huber: "Susan! Have you been able to find old clothes for Edie? She has nothing to wear." Susan: "I thought that was the look she was going for." Mrs. Huber: "Oh, Susan. Edie may be trash, but she's still a human being." Paul:: "I don't care what her reasons were. Maybe she was depressed. Maybe she was bored. It doesn't matter. She abandoned her husband and her son. And I'll never forgive her." Gabrielle: "So now you're taking Julie on your dinner date with Mike?" Susan: "Yeah, well, if Edie's gonna be there, I'm gonna need emotional support." Gabrielle: "I can't believe she wormed her way into in. How did you let her do that?" Susan: "I don't know. I was gonna take her out at the knees, but it all happened so fast." Gabrielle: "Well, you know what you need to do. You need to get there early, spend a little bit of time with Mike before the little barracuda gets there." Susan: "That's a good idea. Edie will get there at 5:45 which means her breasts will arrive at 5:30, so I should shoot for five." Dr. Goldfine: "I'm sure Freud would not approve of this." Bree: "Oh, who cares what he thinks. I took psychology in college. We learned all about Freud. A miserable human being." Dr. Goldfine: "What makes you say that?" Bree: "Well, think about it. He grew up in the late 1800s. There were no appliances back then. His mother had to do everything by hand, just backbreaking work from sunup to sundown, not to mention the countless other sacrifices she probably had to make to take care of her family. And what does he do? He grows up and becomes famous, peddling a theory that the problems of most adults can be traced back to something awful their mother has done. She must have felt so betrayed. He saw how hard she worked. He saw what she did for him. Did he even ever think to say thank you? I doubt it." Dr. Goldfine: "Just so you know, many of Freud's theories have been discredited." Bree: "Good." Lady: "Listen, it seems to me like you have some anger management issues." Lynette: "I have four kids under the age of six. I absolutely have anger management issues." Mike: "So, who's the guy that lives across from Mrs. Huber, again?" Susan: "That's Mr. Mullin. And just so you know, if he invites you in, you have to meet all of his pets." Mike: "That's okay. I love animals." Susan: "He's a taxidermist." Julie: "Do you know who I always liked? Mr. Roswell, your fourth husband." Edie: "Oh, he was my second husband. I've only been married twice." Julie: "Twice? You weren't married to the guy with all the tattoos that they took away in handcuffs?" Susan: "No, Julie, she wasn't married to Javier. That was just one of her special friends." Mary Alice: "Susan was furious with Edie for using a dog to ingratiate herself with its owner. She was also furious with Mike for not seeing through this blatant maneuver. But most of all, she was furious with herself for not having thought of it first." Mary Alice: "As I look back at the world I left behind, it's all so clear to me. The beauty that waits to be unveiled. The mysteries that long to be uncovered. But people so rarely stop to take a look. They just keep moving. It's a shame, really. There's so much to see."
