Today's scene is a flashback to Mary Alice was still alive and all five women got together and talked about philanderers' excuses over a cup of coffee.
We can see through their talk that Mary Alice was a considerate person and she might lend her ear for the troubles of others. I can say she was reliable. So it was very shocking that such a fine woman killed herself with a gun.


(Mary Alice) So what did Karl say when you confronted him?

(Susan) You'll love this. He said, "It doesn't mean anything. It was just sex."

(Bree) Ah, that's the page one of philanderer's handbook.

(Susan) Yeah. Then he got this Zen look on his face and said, "You know, Susan, most men live lives of quite desperation."

(Lynette) Please tell me you punched him.

(Susan) No. I said, "Really?" and "what do most women lead? Lives of noisy fulfillment?""

(Mary Alice) Good for you.

(Susan) I mean, of all peaple, 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 conscious.

(Lynette) Even limp ones aren't all that ethical.

(Bree) This is the reason I joined the NRA. When Rex started going to those medical conferences, I wanted it in the back of his mind that he had a loving wife at home with a loaded Smith & Wesson.

(Mary Alice) Lenny, Tom's always away on business. Do you ever worry he might?

(Lynette) Oh, please. The man's gotten me pregnant three times in four years. I wish he was having sex with someone else.

(Bree) So, Susan, is he gonna stop seeing that woman?

(Susan) I don't know. I'm sorry, you guys. I just don't know how I'm gonna survive this.

(Mary Alice) Listen to me. We all have moments of desperation. But if we face them head-on, that's when we find out just how strong we really are.
