Bree焦急地研制Kathrine的pie,害怕"第一美厨"的称号被夺走!

[Bree’s house - Kitchen]
(There are numerous pies on the counter with one pie missing.)
Orson: She upstaged your lemon meringue pie? You've gotta be kidding.
Bree: (busy mixing a bowl on the stove) I'm not. That despicable woman was just supposed to bring a simple green salad. She not only brought a pie...she hid mine and served hers.
Orson: Well, that's beyond despicable. That's culinary terrorism.
Bree: Oh, it gets worse. Her pie was better than mine.
Orson: Impossible.
Bree: It's true. Everyone thought so. Even me. Oh, and that simple green salad...mache and baby arugula with duck confit and candied walnuts!
Orson: My god, she plays to win.
Bree: I have been here for hours trying to replicate her recipe, and nothing has even come close!
Orson: Don't be so hard on yourself. (eating pie) This one's fantastic.
Bree: That's hers!
Orson: Sorry.
Bree: Orson, what am I gonna do?
Orson: You might have to bite the bullet and ask her for her recipe.
Bree: What? Surrender? Debase myself?
Orson: Bree, it's your signature pie. You make it for parties, church suppers, bake sales. If she's always right there behind you with her superior version, staking out her claim as Fairview's Number One homemaker...
Bree: She will have stolen my entire identity.
Orson: Well, I wouldn't go that far.
Bree: No, it's true. The only thing about me that's special is what I can do in the kitchen. You're right. I have got to get that recipe...by any means necessary.

朋友间的坦诚相见

[Gabrielle’s front yard]
(Gabrielle is throwing out her trash as Lynette walks up.)
Lynette: Hey, Gaby.
Gabrielle: Hey, what's up?
Lynette: Well...I felt a little weird about something that happened at lunch, and I thought we should talk about it.
Gabrielle: I know. Do you believe that pie business? I thought Bree's head was gonna explode.
Lynette: Oh, not that. Okay, I don't know how to say this, so I'm just gonna say it. When everyone was offering to come with me to chemo....even Katherine, who I don't even know, you sort of clammed up. What was that about?
Gabrielle: Well, it just seemed like people had it pretty well covered.
Lynette: Yeah, but between us, you're the one I really want there. Out of everyone, you're the most fun, and I need that now.
Gabrielle: Oh, that's sweet. But to be honest, I don't like hospitals.
Lynette: Nobody likes hospitals. Unfortunately, that's the place you have to go when you're sick, or your friends are. You are my friend, right?
Gabrielle: What, is this a test of our friendship?
Lynette: Yeah...kinda. -----------3----------
Gabrielle: I can't wait.
