Mary Alice Young : My name is Mary Alice Young.When you read this morning’s paper, you may come across an article about the unusual day I had last week. Normally, there’s never anything newsworthy about my life, but that all changed last Thursday. Of course, everything seemed quiet normal at first. I made breakfast for my family. I performed my chores, I completed my projects, I ran my errands. In truth, I spent the day as I spent every other day, quietly polishing the routing of my life until it gleamed with perfection. That’s why it was so astonishing when I decided to go to my hallway closet and retrieve a revolver that had never been used.

MaryAlice Young : My body was discovered by my neighbor, Mrs. Martha Huber, who’d been startled by a strange popping sound. Her curiosity aroused, Mrs.Huber tried to think of a reason for dropping in on me unannounced. After some initial hestitation, she desided to return the blender she had borrowed from me six months before.

Mary Alice Young: And, for a moment, Mrs.Huber stood motioness in her kitchen,grief-sticken by this senseless tragedy. But only for a moment. If there was one thing Mrs.Huber was known for, it was her ability to look on the bright side.

MaryAlice Young: Lynette Scavo brought fried chicken. Lynette had a great family recipe for fried chicken. Of course, she didn’t cook much while moving up the corporate ladder. She didn’t have the time. But when her doctor announced she was pregnant, her husband Tom had an idea. “Why not quit your job?, Kids do better with stay-at-home moms. It would be so much less stressful.”
But this was not the case. In fact, Lynette’s life had become so hectic she was now forced to get her chicken from the fast-food restaurant. Lynette would’ve appreciated the irony if she’d thought about it. But she couldn’t. She didn’thave the time.

Mary Alice Young: Susan Mayer, who lives across the street, brought macaroni and cheese. Her husband, Karl, always teased her about her macaroni, saying it was the only thing she knew how to cook and she rarely made it well.
It was too salty the night she and Karl moved into their house. It was too watery the night she found lipstick on Karl’s shirt. She burned it the night Karl told herhe was leaving for his secretary.
A year had passed since the divorce. Susan had started to think how nice it would be to have a man in her life. Even one who would make fun of her cooking.
Julie:Mom, why would someone kill themselves?
Susan:Well, sometimes people are so unhappy, they think that’s the only way to solve their problems.
Julie: Mrs.Young always seemed happy.
Susan:Yeah. Sometimes people pretend to be one way when they’re totally different on the inside.
Julie: Oh, you mean like how dad’s girl friend always smiling and says nice things, but we know she’s a bitch.
Susan: I don’t like that word, Julie. But, yeah,that’s a great example.

Lynette: Hey.
Mary Alice: So? What did Carl say when you confronted him?
Susan:You'll love this, he said it doesn't mean anything, it was just sex.
Bree: Oh yes, page one of the philanderer's handbook.
Susan:Yeah, and then he got this Zen look on his face, and he said, you know Susan, most men live lives of quiet desperation.
Lynette: Please tell me you punched him.
Susan:No, I said, really? And what do most women lead, lives of noisyfulfillment?
Gabrielle: Hmm.
Mary Alice:Good for you.

Susan: I mean, of all people, did he have to bang his secretary? I had that woman over for brunch.
Gabrielle:It's like my grandmother always said, an erect penis doesn't have a conscience.
Lenette: Even the limp ones aren't that ethical.
Bree: This is half the reason I joined the NRA. Well, when Rex started going to those medical conferences, I wanted at the back of his mind that he had aloving wife at home, with a loaded Smith and Wesson.
Mary Alice: Lynnie? Tom's always away on business. Do you ever worry hemight..?
Lenette: Oh, please, the man's gotten me pregnant three times in four years. Iwish he was having sex with someone else.
Bree: So Susan, is he going to stop seeing that woman?
Susan: I don't know. I'm sorry you guys, I just... I just don't know how I'mgoing to survive this.
Mary Alice: Listen to me. We all have moments of desperation. But if we can face them head on, that's when we find out just how strong we really are.
Bree: Susan? Susan. I was just saying Paul wants us to go over on Friday. He needs us to go through Mary Alice's closet, and help pack up her things. Hesays he can't face doing it by himself.
Susan: Sure, that's fine.
Bree: Are you ok?
Susan: Yeah. I'm just so angry. If Mary Alice was having problems, she should have come to us; she should have let us help her.
Gabrielle: What kind of problems could she have had? She was healthy, had agreat home, a nice family. Her life was?-
Lenette: -our life.
Gabrielle: No, if Mary Alice was having some sort of crisis, we'd have known.She lives 50 feet away, for god's sakes.
Susan: Gabby, the woman killed herself. Something must've been going on.
Tips: go over 拜访
Susan: Oh, I wouldn't eat that if I were you.
Mike: Why?
Susan: I made it, trust me. Hey, hey, do you have a death wish?
Mike: No, I just refuse to believe that anybody can screw up macaroni and cheese.
Mike: Oh my god. How did you?it tastes like it's burnt and undercooked.
Susan: Yeah, I get that a lot. Here you go.
Mike::Thanks. I'm Mike Delfino, I just rented out the Sim's house next door.
Susan: Susan Meyer, I live across the street.
Mike: Oh yeah, Mrs. Huber told me about you, said you illustrate children'sbooks.
Susan: Yeah I'm very big with the under 5 set. What do you do?

Susan: I can't believe you went over there.
Julie: Hey, I saw you both flirting at the wake. You're obviously into each other. Now that you know he's single, you can ask him out.
Susan: Julie, I like Mr. Delfino, I do. It's just, I don't know if I'm ready to start dating yet.
Julie: Ugh, you need to get back out there. Come on. How long has it been since you're had sex? Are you mad that I asked you that?
Susan: No, I'm just trying to remember. I don't wanna talk to you about my lovelife anymore, it weirds me out.
Julie: I wouldn't have said anything it's just?
Susan: What?
Julie: I heard Dad's girlfriend asking if you'd dated anyone since the divorce,and Dad said he doubted it. And then they both laughed.

Mike:Hey, Susan.
Susan: Hi Mike. I brought you a little house-warming gift. I probably should've brought something by earlier, but...
Mike: Actually, you're the first in the neighbourhood to stop by.
Susan: Really?
Narrator: Susan knew she was lucky. An eligible bachelor had moved onto Wisteria Lane, and she was the first to find out. But she also knew that good news travels quickly.
Edie: Hello there!
Narrator: Edie Britt was the most predatory divorcee in a 5 block radius. Her conquests were numerous.
Narrator: Varied?
Narrator: And legendary.
Edie: Hi Susan, I hope I'm not interrupting. You must be Mike Delfino. Hi, I'm Edie. Britt. I live over there. Welcome toWisteria Lane.
Narrator: Susan had met the enemy, and she was a slut.
Mike: Thank you, what's this?
Edie: Sausage Puttenesca. It's just something I threw together.
Mike:Thanks, Edie. That's great. Uh, I'd invite you both in, but I was sort of inthe middle of something.
Susan: Oh, I'm late for an appointment anyway.
Edie: Oh, no problem, I just wanted to say hi.
Mike: Well, thanks.
Narrator: And just like that, the race for Mike Delfino had begun. For amoment, Susan wondered if her rivalry with Edie would remain friendly.
Edie: Oh, Mike. I heard you're a plumber?
Mike: Yeah.
Edie: Do you think you could stop by later tonight and take a look at my pipes?
Narrator: But she was reminded that when it came to men? Women don't fightfair.
Mike: Sure.
Edie: Thanks. Bye Susan.

GABRIELLE: John. We have bandages top shelf in the kitchen.

ANDREW: I'm just saying, do you always have to serve cuisine? Can't we everjust have food?
BREE: Are you doing drugs?
ANDREW: What!?
BREE: Change in behaviour is one of the warning signs, and you have been asfresh as paint for the last 6 months. That certainly would explain why you'realways locked in the bathroom.
