Mary Alice: "After I died, I began to surrender the parts of myself that were no longer necessary. My desires, beliefs, ambitions, doubts, every trace of my humanity was discarded. I discovered when moving through eternity, it helps to travel lightly. In fact, I held onto only one thing. My memory. It’s astonishing to look back on the world I left behind. I remember it all, every single detail."
Bree: "Lynette, these cards are sticky."
Lynette: "I know. Preston used the three of diamonds to scoop jam out of a jar."
Gabrielle: "Well, we're just thankful we have 49 cards to play with."
Susan: "How could we have all forgotten about this?"
Lynette: "We didn't exactly forget. It’s just usually, when the hostess dies, the party is off."
Susan: "I think we should go through with it."
Bree: "Really? wouldn't that be in poor taste?"
Susan: "No, it’s sort of a way to honor Mary Alice. It was so important to her."
Gabrielle: "We could all use a fun night."
Bree: "Well good, because I have some new flatware that I've just been dying to show off!"
Susan: "Lynette?"
Lynette: "I'm in."
Bree: "I'll make braised lamb shanks."
Lynette: "I'm still in."
Rex: "So these tennis lessons we're taking. How are we doing?"
Bree: "My back hand is improving immensely, but you're still having problems with your serve."
Rex: "Of course."
Julie: "Stop fighting."
Susan: "We are being as nice as we possibly can to one another."
Julie: "Like I said, stop fighting."
Zach: "Maybe when you die, I won't put in an obituary."
Paul: "That will be your choice to make. Assuming you outlive me."
Bree: "Oh, and doctor, if what he is about to discuss has anything to do with adultery, prostitution or Internet pornography, I would really appreciate you taking a moral hard line."
Karl: "I don't know what to say, Susan. The heart wants what it wants."
Susan: "What’s that mean?"
Karl: "I fell in love."
Susan: "While you were married to someone else!"
Karl: "The heart wants what it wants."
Susan: "Yeah, well my heart wants to hurt you, but I can control myself!"
Mike: "Uh, whatcha doing?"
Susan: "Locked myself out. Naked."
Mike: "Oh..."
Susan: "And, then I fell. So, how are you?"
Mike: "Good. Good. I just got back. I've been gone all day, and I got your messages about dinner. And, um, I, would love to come, if that invite still stands."
Susan: "It’s a date!"
Mike: "All right. I, uh, assume the dress is casual."
Susan: "Yeah. It’s, it's casual."
Susan: "Thanks for helping me break in. Do you think it will be hard to replace that screen?"
Mike: "Well, it depends. If you nail it in yourself, you might want to wear gloves. Or pants..."
Susan: "You want humiliation, I'll give you humiliation. I locked myself out of my house, stark naked, and got caught by Mike."
Gabrielle: "Oh my God, when did this happen?"
Susan: "Today. Right before the party."
Mike: "What can I say? Right place, right time!"
Gabrielle: "Since we're doing true confessions, Carlos and I once broke a waterbed in Cancun."
Mike: "How'd you manage that?"
Gabrielle: "Well, he used to have a thing for spiked heels."
Carlos: "I'd just like to make it clear: she was wearing them."
Bree: "Rex cries after he ejaculates."
Mary Alice: "Yes, I remember the world. Every detail. And what I remember the most is how afraid I was. What a waste! You see, to live in fear, is not to live at all. I wish I could tell this to those I left behind, but would it do any good? Probably not. I understand now, there will always be those who face their fears, and there will always be those who run away."
