Tom: Listen, I have come up with this killer idea for the Spotless Scrub campaign.
Lynette: Great! You wanna run it by me?
Tom: No. I'm good. But, thanks.
Lynette: Okay.
Tom: Well, that's the thing. You know how whenever Ipitch inthe boardroom at work, how Kennesey alwaystears my ideas downin front of the partners?
Lynette: Yeah?
Tom: I invited the partners and their wives over so I could pitch to them here. And I thought we could make a formal dinner for six. We could sit, we could...
Lynette: And when exactly would this formal dinner take place?
Tom: Uh... day after tomorrow!
Lynette: Tom!
Tom: Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know I know it'sshort notice.
Lynette: You think? How am I supposed topull offa formal dinner with no warning?
Tom: I don't know. Bree Van de Kamp does this kind of thing all the time...
Lynette: What did you say?
Tom: Well, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. That's - you know what, forget it. I'll call and I'll cancel. Don't worry about it.
Lynette: No, no. Let's, let's do it.
Tom: Really?
Lynette: Yeah, it's good for your career. I'll pull it off.
Tom: Yes. Honey, thank you. So much. You know what, I promise. Iland this account, and I'm gonna buy you something awful pretty.
Mary Alice Young: Luckily for Tom, Lynette had a recipe for success... unfortunately for her, she was missing the secret ingredient.
Principal Stark: Mr. and Mrs. Van de Kamp. So, your son decided to entertain some of his friends yesterday by shoving a freshman's head into a locker.
Bree: This was the Johnson boy?
Principal Stark: Yes. He broke the boy's nose. Because of our no tolerance policy, your son may face expulsion.
Rex: You're going to ruin his whole future over a little rough housing?
Bree: Rex, this was practically assault.
Rex: Mrs. Stark, what Andrew did was clearly wrong, but in his defense, his mother and I are going through severe marital problems.
Bree: Is that relevant?
Rex: Our marriage is disintegrating. Of course Andrew is acting out. He has every right to be angry.
Bree: If Andrew is angry about you moving out of the house, then perhaps he should shove your head into a locker!
Rex: All I'm saying, is that we need to take some of the responsibility here.
Bree: So does Andrew! Blaming his actions on our problems...which are not so serious... does not help him.
Rex: Our problems are serious!
Bree: Mrs. Stark, you handle this however you see fit.
Rex: Bree, I've gone to an attorney. You're gonna to be served with divorce papers later today.
Bree: You went to an attorney?
Rex: Yeah! And a good one too!
Bree: Well he better be good, because when I'm finished with you, you won't have a cent to your name!
Rex:Bring it on!
Principal Stark: Perhaps detention is the way to go.
Susan: Hey, Edie!
Edie: Wow!Get a load ofyou! You look so pretty. I hardly recognize you.

Mike: Um, look, Susan, I'm really sorry, but I've got to cancel. I have an -unexpected house guest.
Kendra: I'm gonna run to the car and get my stuff.
Mike: I know how this looks, but there is nothing between us. Kendra is just an old friend.
Susan: Old friend?
Mike: Yeah, you know...
Susan: Yeah. Yeah. No, actually no, I don't know. So, by old friend, do you mean college pal, bowling buddy, saved you from drowning?
Mike: It's hard to explain.
Susan: Could you give it ashot?
Kendra: Mike, I'm going to go upstairs and take a shower.
Mike: Look, I promise, I'll make this up to you. And you look... amazing.
Kendra (calling from inside): Mike, where are the towels?
Susan: Thanks.
Edie: Hey, how was your big date?
Susan: Mike had to reschedule.
Edie: Oh. Because of the hot girl? With the suitcase? Over there? Gosh, how devastating for you. FYI.
