Desperate Housewives S01E01
Transcript
00:15My name is Mary Alice Young.
00:18When you read this morning's paper, you may come across an article about the unusual day I had last week.
00:24Normally, there's never anything newsworthy about my life.
00:27But that all changed last Thursday.
00:31Of course, everything seemed quite normal at first.
00:34I made breakfast for my family.
00:38I performed my chores.
00:42I completed my projects.
00:46I ran my errands.
00:49In truth, I spent the day as I spent every other day,
00:52quietly polishing the routine of my life until it gleamed with perfection.
01:02That's why it was so astonishing when I decided to go to my hallway closet
01:07and retrieve a revolver that had never been used.
01:15My body was discovered by my neighbor, Mrs. Martha Hooper,
01:20who had been startled by a strange popping sound.
01:24Her curiosity aroused.
01:26Mrs. Hooper tried to think of a reason for dropping in on me unannounced.
01:32After some initial hesitation,
01:35she decided to return the blender she had borrowed from me six months before.
02:02It's my neighbor.
02:03I think she's been shot.
02:05There's blood everywhere.
02:06Yes, you've got to send an ambulance.
02:09You've got to send one right now.
02:16And for a moment,
02:18Mrs. Hooper stood motionless in her kitchen,
02:20grief-stricken by this senseless tragedy.
02:23But only for a moment.
02:26If there was one thing Mrs. Hooper was known for,
02:29it was her ability to look on the bright side.
02:39I was laid to rest on a Monday.
02:42After the funeral,
02:43all the residents of Wisteria Lane came to pay their respects.
02:48And as people do in these situations,
02:51they brought food.
02:52Lynette Scavo brought fried chicken.
02:55Lynette had a great family recipe for fried chicken.
02:58Of course, she didn't cook much while she was moving up the corporate ladder.
03:02She didn't have the time.
03:04But when her doctor announced Lynette was pregnant,
03:06her husband Tom had an idea.
03:08Why not quit your job?
03:10Kids do better with stay-at-home moms.
03:12It would be so much less stressful.
03:15But this was not the case.
03:17In fact, Lynette's life had become so hectic,
03:20she was now forced to get her fried chicken from a fast-food restaurant.
03:24Lynette would have appreciated the irony if she stopped to think about it,
03:28but she couldn't.
03:29She didn't have the time.
03:31Stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it.
03:32No!
03:33You are going to behave today.
03:35I am not going to be humiliated in front of the entire neighborhood.
03:38And, just so you know how serious I am...
03:41What's that?
03:43Santa's cell phone number.
03:44How'd you get that?
03:46I know someone who knows someone who knows an elf.
03:49And if any of you acts up, so help me.
03:52I will call Santa and I will tell him you want socks for Christmas.
03:56You willing to risk that?
04:00Okay.
04:03Let's get this over with.
04:08Gabrielle Solis, who lives down the block, brought a spicy paella.
04:13Since her modeling days in New York,
04:15Gabrielle had developed a taste for rich food
04:19and rich men.
04:22Carlos, who worked in mergers and acquisitions,
04:25proposed on their third date.
04:27Gabrielle was touched when tears welled up in his eyes.
04:30But she soon discovered this happened every time Carlos closed a big deal.
04:36Gabrielle liked her paella piping hot.
04:38However, her relationship with her husband was considerably cooler.
04:43If you talk to Al Mason at this thing,
04:45I want you to casually mention how much I paid for your necklace.
04:48Why don't I just pin the receipt to my chest?
04:50He let me know how much he paid for his wife's new convertible.
04:52Look, just work it into the conversation.
04:54There's no way I can just work that in, Carlos.
04:55Why not?
04:56At the Donahue party, everyone was talking mutual funds.
04:59And you found a way to mention you slept with half the Yankee outfield.
05:02They're telling you it came up in the context of the conversation.
05:04Hey, people are starting to stare.
05:07Can you keep your voice down, please?
05:08Absolutely.
05:09I wouldn't want them to think we're not happy.
05:12Brie Vandekamp, who lives next door,
05:14brought baskets of muffins she baked from scratch.
05:17Brie was known for her cooking.
05:19And for making her own clothes.
05:22And for doing her own gardening.
05:25And for reupholstering her own furniture.
05:29Yes, Brie's many talents were known throughout the neighborhood.
05:32And everyone on Wisteria Lane thought of Brie as the perfect wife and mother.
05:37Everyone, that is, except her own family.
05:44Paul.
05:46Zachary.
05:46Hello, Mrs. Vandekamp.
05:48Brie, you shouldn't have gone to all this trouble.
05:50It was no trouble at all.
05:51Now, the basket with the red ribbon is filled with desserts for your guests.
05:54But the one with the blue ribbon is just for you and Zachary.
05:57It's got rolls, muffins, breakfast-type things.
06:01Well, the least I could do is make sure you boys had a decent meal
06:04to look forward to in the morning.
06:06I know you're out of your minds with grief.
06:09Yes, we are.
06:12Of course, I will need the baskets back once you're done.
06:16Of course.
06:22Susan Mayer, who lives across the street, brought macaroni and cheese.
06:26Her husband, Carl, always teased her about her macaroni,
06:30saying it was the only thing she knew how to cook,
06:32and she rarely made it well.
06:35It was too salty the night she and Carl moved into their house.
06:39It was too watery the night she found lipstick on Carl's shirt.
06:44She burned it the night Carl told her he was leaving her for his secretary.
06:56A year had passed since the divorce.
06:58Susan had started to think how nice it would be to have a man in her life,
07:02even one who would make fun of her cooking.
07:04Mom, why would someone kill themselves?
07:11Well, sometimes people are so unhappy,
07:13they think that's the only way they can solve their problems.
07:15But Mrs. Young always seemed happy.
07:18Yeah.
07:19Sometimes people pretend to be one way on the outside
07:21when they're totally different on the inside.
07:23Oh, you mean like how Dad's girlfriend is always smiling
07:25and says nice things, but deep down you just know she's a bitch?
07:28I don't like that word, Julie.
07:29But yeah, that's a great example.
07:43Hey, what's going on?
07:47Sorry, I'm late.
07:49Hi, Susan.
07:50Hey.
08:11So, what did Carl say when you confronted him?
08:14You'll love this, he said.
08:17It doesn't mean anything, it was just sex.
08:19Oh, yes, page one of the philanderer's handbook.
08:22Yeah, and then he got this zen look on his face and he said,
08:24you know, Susan, most men live lives of quiet desperation.
08:28Please tell me you punched him.
08:29No, I said, really?
08:31And what do most women lead, lives of noisy fulfillment?
08:34Good for you.
08:34I mean, of all people, did he have to bang his secretary?
08:37I had that woman over for brunch.
08:39It's like my grandmother always said,
08:40an erect penis doesn't have a conscience.
08:42Even the limp ones aren't that ethical.
08:44This is half the reason I joined the NRA.
08:46Well, when Rex started going to those medical conferences,
08:49I wanted it in the back of his mind that he had a loving wife at home
08:52with a loaded Smith & Wesson.
08:55Lenny, Tom's always away on business.
08:57Do you ever worry he might?
08:58Oh, please, the man's gotten me pregnant three times in four years.
09:02I wish he was having sex with someone else.
09:07So, Susan, is he going to stop seeing that woman?
09:13I don't know.
09:18I'm sorry, you guys.
09:19I just...
09:23I just don't know how I'm going to survive this.
09:27Listen to me.
09:29We all have moments of desperation.
09:33But if we can face them head-on,
09:35that's when we find out just how strong we really are.
09:44Susan.
09:45Susan!
09:46I was just saying,
09:47Paul wants us to go over on Friday.
09:49He needs us to go through Mary Alice's closet
09:51and help pack up our things.
09:52He said he can't face doing it by himself.
09:54Sure, that's fine.
09:56Are you okay?
09:58Yeah.
10:00I'm just so angry.
10:02If Mary Alice was having problems,
10:04she should have come to us.
10:05She should have let us help her.
10:06What kind of problems could she have had?
10:08She was healthy, had a great home, a nice family.
10:11Her life was...
10:12Our life.
10:16No, if Mary Alice was having some sort of crisis,
10:18we'd have known.
10:19She lives 50 feet away, for God's sakes.
10:22Gabby, the woman, killed herself.
10:24Something must have been going on.
10:39I wouldn't eat that if I were you.
10:41Why?
10:41I made it, trust me.
10:46Hey, hey, do you have a death wish?
10:48No, I just refuse to believe that anybody
10:50can screw up macaroni and cheese.
10:54Oh, my God.
10:57How did you...
10:58It tastes like it's burned and undercooked.
11:01Yeah, I get that a lot.
11:02Here you go.
11:06Thanks.
11:08I'm Mike Delfino.
11:09I just started renting The Sims' house next door.
11:11Susan Meyer.
11:12I live across the street.
11:14Oh, yeah.
11:15Ms. Huber told me about you.
11:16Said you illustrate children's books.
11:18Yeah, I'm very big with the under-five set.
11:20So now, what do you do?
11:22Plumber.
11:23So, if you ever have a clog...
11:27Or something.
11:33Now that everybody's seen that I brought something,
11:35I should probably just throw this out.
11:49Ow.
11:50Ow.
11:50Ease up, you little vampire.
11:56Lynette!
11:56I've been looking all over for you.
11:59Are you aware of what your sons are doing?
12:02Cannonball!
12:04Cannonball!
12:05Stop!
12:07Stop!
12:08Stop!
12:13You're...
12:14What are you doing?
12:16We are at a wake.
12:17Oh, my God.
12:18We said we could go in the pool.
12:20I said you could go by the pool.
12:23Do you have your swimsuits on?
12:24Yeah, we put them on our top before we left.
12:27You three planned this?
12:29All right.
12:30That's it.
12:30Get out!
12:31No!
12:32No?
12:34I am your mother.
12:35You have to do what I say.
12:37Come on.
12:37We were swimming.
12:38You can't stop us.
12:46Here.
12:50Look.
12:53Get out!
12:54I think I wouldn't get in this pool anymore.
12:56Ram, you get out!
12:57Get over here.
12:59Ram!
13:01Get over here!
13:04Ram, you're coming to your arm.
13:05Get back towards the other side.
13:07Excuse me.
13:08Oh!
13:09Ram!
13:12Ram, that's right.
13:13Get over here!
13:14Go, go, go, go, go, go.
13:16Ram!
13:24Out!
13:25Get out!
13:34Paul, we have to leave now.
13:36Once again, I am so sorry for your loss.
13:40Go.
13:42Linette shouldn't have been so concerned about my husband.
13:45He had other things on his mind.
13:48Things below the surface.
14:03The morning after my funeral, my friends and neighbors quietly went back to their busy, busy lives.
14:10Well, some did their cooking, and some did their cooking, and some did their cleaning, and some did their yoga,
14:21others did their homework.
14:25Hi.
14:28I'm Julie, I kicked my soccer ball into your backyard.
14:31Oh, okay.
14:32Well, let's go around and get it.
14:34Stay.
14:37His wife died a year ago.
14:38He wanted to stay in L.A., but there were too many memories.
14:40He's renting for tax purposes, but he hopes to buy a place real soon.
14:43I can't believe you went over there.
14:45Hey, I saw you both flirting at the wake.
14:47You're obviously into each other.
14:48Now that you know he's single, you can ask him out.
14:50Julie, I like Mr. Delfino.
14:53I do.
14:53I just, I don't even know if I'm ready to start dating yet.
14:56Ugh, you need to get back out there.
14:58Come on.
14:59How long has it been since you've had sex?
15:03Are you mad that I asked you that?
15:05No, I'm just trying to remember.
15:07I don't want to talk to you about my love life anymore.
15:09It weirds me out.
15:10I wouldn't have said anything.
15:11It's just...
15:12What?
15:14I heard Dad's girlfriend ask if you dated anyone since the divorce, and Dad said he doubted it.
15:22And then they both laughed.
15:39Hey, Susan.
15:41Hi, Mike.
15:42I brought you a little housewarming gift.
15:44I probably should have brought something by earlier, but...
15:47Actually, you're the first in the neighborhood to stop by.
15:50Really?
15:51Susan knew she was lucky.
15:52Well...
15:53An eligible bachelor had moved on to Wisteria Lane,
15:55and she was the first to find out.
15:57But she also knew that good news...
16:00Hello there!
16:01...travels quickly.
16:03Edie Britt was the most predatory divorcee in a five-block radius.
16:08Her conquests were numerous.
16:13Varied.
16:34Susan had met the enemy, and she was a slut.
16:38Susan had met the enemy, and she was a slut.
16:44Oh, thanks, Edie.
16:46Thanks, Edie.
16:46That's great.
16:49I'd invite you both in, but I was sort of in the middle of something.
16:52Oh, I...
16:52No problem.
16:53I'm late for an appointment.
16:53I just wanted to say hi.
16:54And just like that, the race for Mike Delfino had begun.
16:59For a moment, Susan wondered if her rivalry with Edie would remain friendly.
17:03Oh, Mike, I heard you're a plumber.
17:07But she was reminded that when it came to men...
17:10Do you think you could stop by later tonight and take a look at my pipes?
17:14Women don't fight fair.
17:15Sure.
17:17Thanks.
17:24Bye, Susan.
17:26You can't border me around like I'm a child.
17:29Gabrielle.
17:29No, no, no, no.
17:30I'm not going.
17:31It's business.
17:32Tanaka expects everyone to bring their wives.
17:34Every time I'm around that man, he tries to grab my ass.
17:37I made over 200,000 doing business with him last year.
17:40If he wants to grab your ass, you let him.
17:51John!
17:52Ow!
17:54Mrs. Solis.
17:56You scared me.
17:57Why is that bush still there?
17:58You were supposed to dig it up last week.
17:59I didn't have time last week.
18:00I don't want to hear your excuses.
18:02Just take care of it.
18:07I really hate the way you talk to me.
18:09And I really hate that I spent $15,000 on your diamond necklace that you couldn't live with
18:13that.
18:14But I'm learning to deal with it.
18:16So, can I tell Tanaka we'll be there tomorrow night?
18:19John!
18:21We have bandages top shelf in the kitchen.
18:23Thanks, Mrs. Solis.
18:29Fine.
18:30I'll go.
18:31But I'm keeping my back pressed against the wall the entire time.
18:35See?
18:37Now this is what a marriage is all about.
18:39Compromise.
18:46Is your finger okay?
18:48Yeah.
18:49Yeah.
18:49It's just a small cut.
18:50Let me see.
19:08You know, Mrs. Solis, I really like it when we hook up.
19:14But, um, well, you know, I gotta get my work done, and I can't afford to lose this job.
19:22This table is hand-carved.
19:25Carlos had it imported from Italy.
19:27It cost him $23,000.
19:31You want to do it on the table this time?
19:35Absolutely.
19:52Why can't we ever have normal soup?
19:54Danielle, there is nothing abnormal about basil puree.
19:58Just once.
19:58Can we have a soup that people have heard of?
20:00Like French onion or navy bean.
20:03First of all, your father can't eat onions.
20:05He's deathly allergic.
20:06And I won't even dignify your navy bean suggestion.
20:10So, how's the also-bukko?
20:13It's okay.
20:15It's okay.
20:17Andrew, I spent three hours cooking this meal.
20:19How do you think it makes me feel when you say it's okay in that sullen tone?
20:24Who asked you to spend three hours on dinner?
20:29Excuse me.
20:32Tim Harper's mom gets home from work, pops open a can of pork and beans, and boom.
20:36They're eating.
20:37Everyone's happy.
20:38You'd rather I serve pork and beans?
20:40Apologize now.
20:41I am begging.
20:41I'm saying, do you always have to serve cuisine?
20:44Can't we ever just have food?
20:45Are you doing drugs?
20:47What?
20:47Change in behavior is one of the warning signs, and you have been as fresh as paint for the last
20:51six months.
20:53That certainly would explain why you're always locked in the bathroom.
20:55Trust me.
20:56That is not what he is doing.
20:57Shut up.
20:58Mom, I'm not the one with the problem here, all right?
21:00You're the one always acting like she's running for Mary Stepford.
21:06Rex, seeing that you're the head of this household, I would really appreciate you saying something.
21:13Pass the salt?
21:32Three days after my funeral, Lynette replaced her grief with a much more useful emotion.
21:39Indignation.
21:39Tom, this is my fifth message, and you still haven't called me back.
21:43Well, you must be having a lot of fun on your business trip.
21:47I can only imagine.
21:48Well, guess what?
21:49The kids and I want to have some fun, too.
21:51So, unless you call me back by noon, we are getting on a plane and joining you.
21:55Mom!
21:56Not now, honey.
21:57Mommy's threatening Daddy.
21:58Mom!
21:59No, I...
22:01Where are your brothers?
22:03Noodle's my favorite.
22:11Lynette Scalbo?
22:13Crap.
22:13Natalie Klein.
22:14I don't believe it.
22:17Lynette, how long has it been?
22:20Years.
22:21How are you?
22:22How's the firm?
22:23Good.
22:24Everyone misses you.
22:26Yeah.
22:27We all say if you hadn't quit, you'd be running the place by now.
22:30Yeah, well...
22:33So, how's domestic life?
22:37Don't you just love being a mom?
22:40And there it was.
22:41The question that Lynette always dreaded.
22:44Well, to be honest...
22:46For those who asked it, only one answer was acceptable.
22:50So, Lynette responded as she always did.
22:52She lied.
22:54That's the best job I've ever had.
22:57Oh!
22:58Oh, yeah!
22:59Go, go, go, go!
23:08You know what I don't get?
23:09What?
23:10Why you married Mrs. Solis.
23:16Well?
23:18He promised to give me everything I've ever wanted.
23:21Did he?
23:23Yes.

33:08Brie sobbed quietly in the restroom for five minutes

34:24all night long
34:27yes ma'am
35:14you see that man is going to be fine
35:28Oh, my God.
36:10Susan? Susan!
36:12Mrs. Huber, how are you doing?
36:14Not too well, I'm afraid.
36:15I'm trying to find something to soothe my stomach.
36:18That's upset?
36:19Yeah. I had the worst macaroni and cheese at the wake.
36:22It's been running through me ever since.
36:24Oh.
36:25And I need to be at my best.
36:27Edie Britt's son is spending the night tonight.
36:29He's spending the night?
36:31Apparently, Edie is having a gentleman friend over for dinner,
36:34and I think she plans on entertaining into the wee hours,
36:38if you know what I mean.
36:41Oh, here's some antacid.
36:43Have you ever tried this?
36:46I can't believe it.
36:47This can't be happening.
36:49Mike can't like Edie better than me.
36:50He just can't.
36:51You don't know what's going on.
36:53Maybe they're just having dinner.
36:56You're right.
36:57They're doing it.
37:12Edie?
37:13Edie?
37:37I need to borrow sugar.
37:40Come on.
37:42Oh, come on.
38:02And just like that, the possibility Susan had clung to,
38:06the maybe of Mike Delfino, was gone forever.
38:12And despite the precariousness of her situation,
38:16Susan took a moment to mourn her loss.
38:45It didn't take Susan long to realize,
38:48this was just not her night.
38:52Is somebody else there?
38:55Oh, my God!
38:57Let's go!
39:18She was having sex with some guy when the fire started.
39:27What happened to him?
39:28He got smoke inhalation.
39:30He's at the hospital.
39:32Susan, are you all right?
39:34You look awful.
39:35I'm fine.
39:37I'm fine.
39:37I just feel really bad for Edie.
39:42Oh, honey, don't worry about Edie.
39:44She's a strong lady.
39:45Absolutely.
39:46She'll get through this.
39:47She'll find a way to survive.
39:49We all do.
39:50Come on.
39:58Ready?
40:04All the other houses could look like a fire.
40:13Wow, what happened?
40:16Mike!
40:16And suddenly, there he was,
40:19like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
40:21I thought you were...
40:23Uh, where were you?
40:25I just got back from the movies.
40:27Edie had a fire, huh?
40:29Yeah.
40:30Yeah, but she's fine now.
40:34Everything's fine now.
40:36And just like that, Susan was happy.
40:39Life was suddenly full of possibilities.
40:49Not to mention a few unexpected surprises.
40:57Hello.
40:58Hey, it's me.
40:59Do you have anything yet?
41:00No.
41:01No, nothing yet, but don't worry.
41:03I'm definitely getting closer.
41:13I brought some champagne.
41:15I thought we should have a toast.
41:17The next day, my friends came together
41:20to pack away my clothes,
41:21my personal belongings,
41:23and what was left of my life.
41:28All right, ladies, lift him up.
41:30To Mary Alice,
41:31a good friend and neighbor.
41:33Wherever you are,
41:34we hope you've found peace.
41:36To Mary Alice.
41:37To Mary Alice.
41:45Let's get this show on the road.
41:47You guys check out Mary Alice's clothes?
41:50Size 8?
41:51Ha!
41:51She always told me she was a size 6.
41:53I guess we found the skeleton in her closet.
41:55Not quite, Gabrielle.
41:57Not quite.
41:58What's that?
41:59It's a letter addressed to Mary Alice.
42:02How ironic.
42:03To have something I tried so desperately
42:05to keep secret,
42:06treat it so casually.
42:08What are you doing?
42:09That's private.
42:10It's open.
42:10What's the big deal?
42:23What does this mean?
42:25I don't know,
42:25but check out the postmark.
42:26Oh, my God.
42:28She got it the day she died.
42:31Do you think this is why she...
42:33I'm so sorry, girls.
42:36I never wanted you to be burdened with this.
42:41Well, Mary Alice,
42:42what did you do?
42:43What did you do?
42:44I never went to bed.
42:46What do you do?
42:48Oh, my God.
42:57I never wanted you to.
