NNora
We stopped off at this bar and I got bitchy with one of the waitresses. Who cares,right? I mean, who cares? It's a bar, and we all do it, right?
LynetteRight.
NNora
So he tells me to watch my mouth, and I'm like, whoa, get a load of Mr. Two Strikes tryin' to tell me how to act in public. And then he called me a whore- We done.
Lynette
Ok, whoa, whoa. Take a deep breath. You don't break up with a guy because in a weak moment he call you a whore.
NNora
And then on the way out, he threatened to hit me.
Lynette
Ok, but he didn't, and until he...
NNora
Oh, jeez, Lynette. Whose side are you on?
Lynette
I'm on the side of love. You guys seem like such a perfect couple.
Lynette
I just.... You don't wanna throw that all away cause of a little fight with no hitting.
Lynette Scavo
Parker, hey, where's your uniform? You've got your game in an hour.
Lynette Scavo
What?
I hate baseball! Daddy said I don't have to play it anymore.
Lynette Scavo
Well Daddy should've checked with Mommy so she could have a chance to tell him why he's wrong. Hey, you're playing!
But Mom, I suck! Everybody says so! That's why they made up a fake position for me!
Lynette Scavo
It's not fake. There's not a team I know that can get along without their back-up far right fielder! OK, come on, let's go practice.
Lynette (In her dream, seeing Mary Alice at the last time): Let me save you.
Lynette
Why not?
Sweetie, we can't prevent what we can't predict.
Lynette
Isn't there anything I could do?
Yes. You can enjoy this beautiful day. We get so few of them.
Carolyn (To Lynette in the supermarket): Have you not been listening? My husband cheated on me!
Lynette
Who cares?! We all have pain, every one of us has pain but we deal with it! We swallow it and get going with our lives. What we don't do is go around shooting strangers!
CCarolyn
She deserved it!
Lynette
Well, maybe you deserved to be cheated on!
How long will Daddy be gone?
Lynette Scavo
Well, that sorta depends on Daddy.
Are you two mad at each other?
Lynette Scavo
Yeah, a little, but that's okay. We still love each other very much, but like kids, sometimes grown-ups throw tantrums and need a time-out.
Why can't he take a time-out in his room?
Lynette Scavo
Cause he decided to take it in his pizza place.
No fair, that sounds fun!
Lynette Scavo
Not this pizza place, it's a rat hole. But once your dad comes to his senses and stops being petulant, he'll come home.
Lynette Scavo
It means childish, stubborn, careless with my money and your futures.
Lynette Scavo
It's a grown-up word, and when daddy comes home, he'll learn a new one: grovel!
What are you saying? You think Mike is guilty?
Lynette
Hey, why don't we start that girl talk?"
I'll get the ball rolling. Anybody have a yeast infection?
They found Monique's blood on the wrench that Mike was trying to dispose of. I mean, that hardly screams innocence.
Her teeth were pulled. You don't think that's worth telling the cops she was messing around with a dentist?
Lynette
Yep. Go ahead, say it. I know you want to.
This is all your fault. You should've listened to me.
Lynette': I know. But be fair. There is no way I could've anticipated this.
You tell people Frankenstein's on the loose, then you're surprised to see the torch-wielding villagers?
AArt
Hey. You know, in a weird way...I should thank you. My sister was...a really wonderful person. She always saw the best in me. But there were things she couldn't see...or chose not to, God love her.
Lynette
What do you mean?
AArt
I think you know. See, I always knew that I had to take care of Rebecca, so I could never let myself...slip and do something that would hurt her. But now...I'm free...and all because of you.
Lynette
You can't stay here.
AArt
Oh, don't worry. I'm already packed.
Lynette
"Where are you going?"
AArt
Why, you gonna write? Well, goodbye, Lynette. You take care of that beautiful family of yours.
[Lynette is giving dinner to the kids, Kayla walks over toward the TV with hers]
Lynette Scavo
Kayla, where are you going?
Lynette Scavo
Oh, sweetie, we don't watch TV during dinner.
KKayla
But my show is on.
Lynette Scavo
Well, I'm sorry, those are the rules.
Lynette Scavo
Just this once.
[The twins give Lynette 'What gives?' looks, Parker crosses his arms]
Lynette Scavo
Ok, ok, I know what you're thinking, but Kayla's going through a hard time right now, come and sit down. Letting her watch TV is like me letting you eat ice cream when you're sick.
Lynette Scavo
That's true, but she's sad.
I'm sad, I can't watch TV!
Lynette Scavo
Eat your tacos.
Lynette Scavo
[Kids give each other looks of agreement and get up to go over to the TV] Wow, wow, wow, sit your butts down.
Lynette Scavo
I don't care, we have rules.
Lynette Scavo
She's special, now sit down! Come on.
Does she get dessert too?
Kayla: Of course I do.
Lynette Scavo
[Tom pulls up in the van bringing Kayla to live with them] Ok, they're here, now listen,
Lynette Scavo
[to Parker] stand up. Kayla has been through a lot so when she walks through the door I want you to make her feel welcome, ok, give her a hug and be really nice.
I'm giving her my room, how much nicer do I have to be?
Lynette Scavo
Well nicer than that or she's gonna get all your toys too!
[Lynette is looking at herself in an outfit, when she notices Parker in the mirror playing with his foam football] What'cha doin'?
Lynette Scavo
Oh, deciding what to wear my first day back to work. Do I look fat in this?
I think you look good in everything!
Lynette Scavo
Wow, you father's taught you well.
What about the street fair? If you're going back to work, who's going to take me?
Lynette Scavo
Mrs. McClusky, won't that be fun?
No. Do you have to go back to work?
Lynette Scavo
Come on, you and your brothers will be thrilled. Me going back to work is not that big a deal, we're only loosing a little time together in the afternoon.
Every hour counts. I miss you all day long.
Lynette Scavo
[She hugs him, kisses and rubs him on the head] Aww, honey, geez. Do you really mean that, or are you manipulating mommy into feeling incredibly guilty?
Lynette Scavo
Yep, your father's taught you well.
[He smiles at her].
[at the hospital] You guys didn't have to come here, no matter what that CAT scan says, I'm breakin' out tomorrow.
Lynette Scavo
Well Parker really wanted to come see you.
[pats him on the head] Don't tell your brothers, you were always my favorite.
Parker Scavo: [quietly] I saw the man in your freezer.
[Smile fades from her face] Lynette, could you run down to the snack bar and get me some green jello?
Lynette Scavo
Oh, sure.
OK, time for a little grown-up talk.
[Lynette sees Parker sitting on the bed with Mrs. McClusky talking to him]
So can you understand now why I had to do what I did?
[he nods]
And you know you can never tell anyone, not even you mom?
[he nods again]
Lynette Scavo
They didn't have jello, so I hope pudding is okay.
Ya know, lets give it to Parker, good boy like him deserves a treat.
[he smiles at her]
