Lynette comes out of her house with a box of clothing in her arms. "Here’s what I pulled for Edie. I should warn you that most of the clothes in there aren’t that stylish." "Oh, don’t worry about it." She starts going through the box. "Edie’s a beggar now, which means she can’t be a chooser. Of course, we don’t have to add salt to the wound." She pulls out one article of clothing and hands it back to Lynette. Lynette: "Listen, I was just getting dinner ready." Mrs. Huber: "Say no more. I’ll get out of your hair." She turns to leave. Lynette: "No, no." Lynette turns to go back inside the house. 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." Lynette: "Well, like I said, I should go back and get dinner ready." Mrs. Huber: "Oh, right! Well, good bye." Lynette: "Good bye."As Mrs. Huber leaves, she sees Susan walking back to her house and calls to her. 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."Mrs. Huber walks off. Susan sees Zack watering the lawn. She takes the letter Mary Alice received out of her pocket and looks at it, then walks up to Zack, asking if his dad is home. "I need to talk to him." In the garage, Paul has wrapped the chest in plastic and is duct taping it shut. The garage door opens and Susan walks in. Susan: "Hey, Paul. I hope I’m not interrupting." Paul: "Actually, I was getting ready to go somewhere." Susan: "I just wanted to come by and say hello. You know, see how you guys are doing." Paul: "We’re trying to move on. It’s been pretty tough." Susan: "I can imagine. Not knowing why Mary Alice - " Paul: "Why what?" He picks up the chest and begins walking away with it. Susan: "Why she did it. Oh!" Paul drops the chest and Susan bends down to help him. "Here, let me help you." Paul: "I got it, I got it."He puts it in the back of his car. Susan: "Sorry if I upset you." Paul: "Can I be frank?" Susan: "Of course." 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."He gets in the car and drives off, leaving Susan. A little while later, it’s nighttime. "As I watched Susan, I couldn’t help feeling sorry for her. She wanted so much to know 专业提供提供各大机构考研、公务员、四六级辅导视频课 考研屋 www.kaoyanwu.com 提供各大机构考研、公务员、四六级辅导视频课程 why I did it."Susan puts the letter in a box in her house. "Why I killed myself."Paul has reached his destination. He opens up the trunk and takes the chest out. "It’s not enough to want the truth. You must know where to look for it. And the truth is elusive because it knows where to hide."Paul carries the chest over to a railing on a bridge and throws it over, where it lands in a body of water, slowly sinking out of sight. ________________________________________Julie is at home. Mrs. Huber knocks on the door. Mrs. Huber: "Hello, Julie. I talked to your mom about donating some clothes for Edie." Julie: "She’s at Mrs. Van De Kamp’s, but I’ll see if she left some stuff upstairs."She goes upstairs, leaving the door open. Mrs. Huber walks in and starts rifling through the grocery bags on the kitchen table. She takes out some perfume and sprays it on herself. Then she sees a new measuring cup, identical in make to the burnt one she had found at Edie’s. Holding it, she stares off into space, thinking. Julie comes back downstairs, sees Mrs. Huber holding the measuring cup, and looks suspicious. Mrs. Huber: "Oh, Julie! I was just admiring your new measuring cup." Julie takes it from Mrs. Huber. "Yeah, we lost ours." Mrs. Huber: "Really." Julie: "So I couldn’t find the clothes. I’m sorry. Mrs. Huber: "That’s okay. Julie: "If you want me to keep looking." Mrs. Huber: "No. You’ve done more than enough. Truly." She leaves.Julie stands there, looking confused. ________________________________________Bree is in Dr. Goldfine’s waiting room. Dr. Goldfine comes out of his office. Dr. Goldfine: "Bree. Rex just called. He won’t be able to meet you here today. Apparently, there was an emergency at the hospital." Bree: "Oh. Well, I wish he had called me." She gets up, ready to leave. Dr. Goldfine: "He suggested perhaps you’d like to meet with me by yourself. You’ve been very quiet in our joint sessions."Bree focuses in on the button still hanging loosely from Dr. Goldfine’s jacket. Bree: "What? Oh, oh, oh no thank you. I have some things that I need to do today." Dr. Goldfine: "Are you sure?" Bree: "Uh, yeah. I’m sure." Dr. Goldfine: "Okay."He goes in his office. Bree starts to leave, but is hesitant, as though she’s trying to make a decision about something. Finally, she strides purposefully back to Dr. Goldfine’s door and knocks on it. When she enters, she says, "Dr. Goldfine, there is something you can do for me." Dr. Goldfine: "What’s that?" Bree: "Take off your coat." She closes the door behind her.________________________________________Susan and Gabrielle walk into Gabrielle’s house, laden down with shopping bags. 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." Gabrielle: "Atta girl. I’m just gonna take these upstairs." She starts collecting her packages.Susan clutches her shopping bag. "I’m gonna keep my one little bag and go home." As she heads toward the door, she sees the rose that John gave Gabrielle on the front 专业提供提供各大机构考研、公务员、四六级辅导视频课 考研屋 www.kaoyanwu.com 提供各大机构考研、公务员、四六级辅导视频课程 hall table. Susan: "That is a beautiful rose. Where did you get it?" Gabrielle: "Oh, John gave it to me." Gabrielle freezes after saying that. Susan: "John? Your gardener? He gave you a rose?" Gabrielle: "Yes. I am having some new bushes planted outside and he gave me that as a color palette." Susan: "Oh! Okay."She shrugs and turns to leave. "Sure is beautiful, isn’t it?" She leaves. Gabrielle stares at the rose. "Yes, it is." ________________________________________In Dr. Goldfine’s office, he watches Bree sew the button back onto his jacket. 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."She finishes up the coat and puts it on him. "There you go." Dr. Goldfine: "Just so you know, many of Freud’s theories have been discredited." Bree: "Good."________________________________________In the car, Lynette’s children are misbehaving again. She pleads with them to tell them to sit down and how they’ll be in trouble if they don’t sit down in the seats. The boys become quiet, but only to whisper in each other’s ears. After the whispering they all turn to look at her, grinning. "For the first time, Lynette could see that this was not the innocent play of children. She was being challenged. So, she decided it was time to get creative."She pulls over and opens the car door. "Out. Can’t behave, you heard me. You cannot ride. You. Out. Move it." She closes the door and gets back in, looking back at her kids once before driving off. The kids watch her. "Where is she going?" She pulls around a corner and stops the car. She looks at her watch and then looks at her baby in the car seat next to her. "Mommy’s a genius." After a few minutes, she backtracks and goes to pick up the boys. They’re gone. Shocked, she stops the car and tells her baby that "mommy will be right back." She rushes out to where she left them, calling for them. A woman comes out of the house where Lynette is running on the lawn. "Porter! Preston! Parker! If you’re hiding, you’ve gotta stop now, because mommy doesn’t think it’s funny." Lynette: "Oh! Excuse me, I’m sorry, I’m looking for my boys. Three boys with red hair. Have you seen them?" Lady: "Yeah. I also saw you drive away and leave them." Lynette: "I know. I was just trying to scare them into behaving. Did you see where they went?" Lady: "Yeah, yeah, yeah. They’re in my kitchen." Lynette: "Oh!" 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."She goes to walk past the woman, but the woman stops her. Lady: "Yeah, well, I think you need to talk to somebody because abandoning your children is--" Lynette: "I didn’t abandon them. I came back!" Lady: "I’m just 专业提供提供各大机构考研、公务员、四六级辅导视频课 考研屋 www.kaoyanwu.com 提供各大机构考研、公务员、四六级辅导视频课程 saying...it’s not normal." Lynette: "Yeah, well, my kids aren’t normal. And now I don’t have time for this lady. So--" she starts to go past the woman again, who stops her again. "Boys! Get out here." Lady: "No, I don’t think they should go anywhere until you calm down."The boys show up at the door, holding cookies. Lynette sees them and tells them to get in the car. One of the twins tells her that they have cookies. Lynette: "Well, bring them. We’re leaving." Lady: "No, no, no, stay put." Lynette: "I don’t think so." As she tries to go past the woman, the woman grabs her arm. Lady: "Listen, lady, you and I are gonna have a little talk." Twin: "Leave my mommy alone!" Lynette: "Let go of me! What’s the matter with you?"The twins bite her and push her over. Lynette: "Run, boys, run!"They all get into the car. The lady gets up. "You get back here!" Lynette: "Boys, you’re gonna need to put on your---" the boys have already put on their seat belts.Lynette looks surprised, but proud. As the car drives off, the lady calls out, "Get back or I’m gonna call social services!" ________________________________________Gabrielle is sitting on the staircase, staring happily at the rose on the table. A horn honks. She looks out the window and her jaw drops. She goes outside. "Oh my God." Carlos is standing next to a convertible with a big red ribbon on it. Gabrielle: "Carlos, what have you done?" Carlos: "I saw it when I drove by the dealership. I thought, Gabrielle would look so beautiful in this." Gabrielle: "Carlos!" She shoves him playfully. Carlos: "It cost me an arm and a leg. It’s got GPS navigation, 200 watt stereo system, rear parking sensor..." Gabrielle: "It’s beautiful!" Carlos: "So? Did I take your breath away?" Gabrielle: "Absolutely!" Carlos: "Is it the best gift you’ve ever gotten?""Gabrielle could see what this gesture had cost Carlos so she responded the only way she knew how."She kisses him and jumps up on him, wrapping her legs around him as they kiss. Across the street, John is raking a neighbor’s lawn. He sees the car, Carlos, and Gabrielle, and watches them, looking sad and hurt. "She had a feeling the truth would have been lost on her husband anyway. After all, it’s the rare man who understands the value of a single, perfect rose."________________________________________Susan walks up the pathway to Mike’s house. When she gets on the porch, Bongo, who was sleeping there, starts barking. She pushes the doorbell. Mike opens it. Mike: "Susan!" Susan: "I hope you don’t mind. I thought I’d come by early and help you set up." Mike: "Oh. Um." Edie comes out of the kitchen. "Hey, Susan. Don’t worry. Mike and I have everything under control." Susan: "Oh."Bongo barks. Mike: "Bongo! I don’t know why he barks at you." Edie: "I wouldn’t take it personally. Dogs are very sensitive."She walks over to Bongo and starts petting him and talking to him. "In the distance, Susan thought she heard a bell ring."Susan looks at Mike, who’s watching Edie and Bongo with a smile on his face. "Round one had started."________________________________________Rex and Bree are at Dr. Goldfine’s office. Rex: "Look, all I’m saying is that this whole ‘it takes two to mess up a marriage’ theory is bull. The problems that we have are because of her." Bree: "That is not true, Rex." Rex: "All right, fine. What have I been doing for the past 20 years that 专业提供提供各大机构考研、公务员、四六级辅导视频课 考研屋 www.kaoyanwu.com 提供各大机构考研、公务员、四六级辅导视频课程 has been so awful?"Dr. Goldfine looks down at his jacket as he fingers the newly repaired button. Rex: "You’re not saying anything because I’ve been a great husband and it kills you to admit that." Dr. Goldfine: "Rex, I’m curious. Do you ever acknowledge the benefits of living with Bree?" Rex: "Huh?" Dr. Goldfine: "By your own admission, your home is always clean, your clothes are always freshly pressed, sounds like a wonderful cook. Despite her flaws, do you ever remember to say thank you? Rex: "Thank you." Dr. Goldfine: "Yes."Bree looks satisfied. ________________________________________At Mike’s house, Mike, Susan, Julie, and Edie are finishing up their meal. Bongo puts his paws on the table and begins licking some of the gravy off of Edie’s plate. Mike tells Bongo to get off the table and Edie pushes Bongo down. Mike turns to Susan. "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." Mike: "Oh. Thanks for the warning."They laugh. Edie: "Isn’t Mr. Mullin’s brother your divorce attorney?" Susan: "Uh, yes. yes, he was." Edie: "Can I say something?"Susan gestures that she should go ahead. Edie: "In my heart, I still believe that you and Carl are going to get back together." Mike: "Really?" Edie: "Oh, yeah. I’ve never seen two people more in love. I’m mean, she’s never going to find that kind of chemistry with another man. Never!""It was everything Susan could do to keep a smile on her face. Round two was under way and she was already taking a beating." Julie: "You know what, Mrs. Britt?" "What Edie hadn’t counted on," Julie: "Do you know who I always liked?" "Was that Susan had someone else in her corner." Julie: "Mr. Roswell, your fourth husband. Edie: "Oh, he was my second husband. I’ve only been married twice."She glances at Mike, who smiles. 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." She laughs. "I think we should change the subject. You know, unless you want to keep talking about it."Bongo puts his paws on the table again to lick off of Edie’s plate. Edie stands up, telling them that she wants to show them what she taught Bongo earlier. She holds some food in the air, and Bongo gets on his hind legs to beg for it. "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."Susan stands up and started clearing the table, telling them that she was going to get the desserts. "But most of all, she was furious with herself for not having thought of it first."In the kitchen, she puts the plates down and looks off in the direction of the dining room, where Mike is commenting that he can barely get Bongo to sit. Susan sees the gravy dish and picks it up. In the dining room, Mike says that he’s never seen Bongo walk on two legs. Edie replies that he knows who to come to. In the kitchen, Susan makes a decision. She puts down the gravy and then dabs her fingers in it. She rubs some on the back of her hand and some more behind her ear. She carries the dessert out. When she’s done passing it out, she backs away to where Bongo is, offering her hand for him to sniff. He starts licking her, and she makes a happy sound, drawing Mike’s attention to her. Mike: "Oh, 专业提供提供各大机构考研、公务员、四六级辅导视频课 考研屋 www.kaoyanwu.com 提供各大机构考研、公务员、四六级辅导视频课程 look at that. Looks like Bongo’s finally warming up to Susan."Susan kneels down and Bongo starts licking her around her ear. "We just got off on the wrong foot. We’re best buddies now." Mike and Julie smile at Susan while Edie watches, stone-faced. Suddenly, Bongo starts choking. Susan: "Bongo, are you okay?" Edie: "What’s wrong with him?" Mike: "I dunno. I’ve never heard him make that sound."He rushes to Bongo’s side. Julie gestures to Susan, pointing to her own ear. Susan puts her hand up to feel for her earrings. One is gone. Mike notices the same time Susan does and they look at the dog. Mike carries Bongo out to his car, telling Edie and Susan to call the vet. Edie calls out that they will, and to not worry, that she’ll stay and clean up everything. Susan: "Is there anything I can do?" Mike: "No."He drives off. ________________________________________At the vet, Mike paces back and forth. Susan comes in. Susan: "Hey." Mike: "Hey." Susan: "How’s Bongo doing?" Mike: "I’m just waiting to see if they have to operate." Susan: "Oh, God. [she pulls a large dog bone out of her purse.] Uh, I, I stopped and I got this. I am just so sorry for this." Mike: "I’m really sorry that I snapped at you. I was just so worried." Susan: "Oh, no. It’s okay."The vet comes out of the back room. Vet: "Good news. We won’t have to do surgery." Susan: "Oh, that’s great!" Vet: "And we gave Bongo something to help pass the earring. When he does, would you like us to retrieve it for you?" Susan: "Ah, I’m gonna say no." Vet: "Okay. You should be able to take him home in about an hour."He goes back into the back. Mike and Susan turn away from the front desk. Susan: "Wow. you must be so relieved." Mike: "I’m sorry. I was just really worried." Susan: "Well, it was your dog. I get it." Mike: "Actually, it was my wife’s dog. One of the last things she said to me in the hospital before she died was to be sure I looked after him. I promised her I would.""And just like that, Susan could suddenly see something she’d never seen before."Mike: "He, uh, meant so much to her.""Mike Delfino was still in love with his late wife."Mike: "And if something had happened, I would have felt like I had failed her. I know that sounds stupid, but, I--""And she knew right then that neither she nor Edie would be laying claim to his heart anytime soon."Susan: "No, it doesn’t. Not at all.""So, she decided for now, she could settle for just being his friend."Susan took the dog bone and handed it over to Mike. "This is for you. Well, for Bongo. Give it to him. ________________________________________At Mike’s house, Edie finishes up cleaning. She takes oil and vinegar and places them in a cupboard. Hidden behind a different cupboard, next to where Edie had put the oil and vinegar lies money, maps, and detailed information and pictures about the people who live on Wisteria Lane. "Yes. 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."The chest that Paul had thrown in the water pops up suddenly, bobbing gently. ~ The End ~ 欢迎08考生回归回归论坛回归正常的生活回归春节回归自己可爱的家 专业提供提供各大机构考研、公务员、四六级辅导视频课 考研屋 www.kaoyanwu.com 提供各大机构考研、公务员、四六级辅导视频课程 欢迎08考生回归回归论坛回归正常的生活回归春节回归自己可爱的家 考研屋www.kaoyanwu.com :提供各大机构考研、公务员、四六级辅导视频课程 专业提供提供各大机构考研、公务员、四六级辅导视频课
