Quotes
-
[at dinner party with all the wives and their partners]
Bree : Rex cries after he ejaculates.
-
[Bree is compulsively fixing a button on Dr. Goldfine's jacket during their session]
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.

[first lines]
Mary Alice Young : [voice over narration] 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. Like my friend, Bree Van De Kamp. I remember the easy confidence of her smile, the gentle elegance of her hands, the refined warmth of her voice...
Bree : Bye.
Mary Alice Young : [voice over narration] ...But what I remember most about Bree...,
Bree : Rex, wasn't that a lovely...?
Mary Alice Young : [voice over narration] ...was the look of fear in her eyes. Bree had started to realize her world was unraveling. And for a woman who despised loose ends, that was unacceptable...

Bree : Oh, Rex, you look so tired.
Rex : I didn't sleep. This damn thing is so uncomfortable.
Bree : Well, why don't you move back upstairs, and sleep in my bed.
Rex : We're in marriage counseling, Bree. I think that would confuse things.
Bree : It's just... I miss you.
Rex : I know you do. Of course, if I don't start getting some sleep pretty soon, I'll be forced to move back upstairs out of sheer exhaustion.
Mary Alice Young : [narrating voice over] Yes, Bree was afraid of many things. But if there was one thing she wasn't afraid of..., it was a challenge.

Susan Mayer : How could we have all forgotten about this?
Lynette Scavo : We didn't exactly forget. It's just that usually when the hostess dies, the party is off.
Bree : Lynette!
Lynette Scavo : I'm not being flip, I'm just pointing out a reality.
-
Susan Mayer : Lynette?
Lynette Scavo : I'm in.
Bree : I'll make braised lamb shanks.
Lynette Scavo : I'm still in.
-
Susan Mayer : Thanks for helping me break in. Do you think it's gonna be hard to replace that screen?
Mike Delfino : Well that depends. If you nail it in yourself, you might wanna wear gloves. Or pants. Pants wouldn't hurt.
Susan Mayer : Okay. I know what just happened is funny, in theory, but I am nowhere near ready to laugh about it. So, please, no jokes.
Bree : [opens the front door] Hey, where have you two been?
Mike Delfino : Um, Susan had a problem finding something to wear
[stifles his laughter]
Mike Delfino : . Oh, was that the kinda thing you meant?
Susan Mayer : Pretty much.
