GABRIELLE: Gorgeous, thankful we have 49 cards to play with.
SUSAN: Hello, sorry I'm late.
LYNETTE: Hey.
MARY ALICE: So, Susan, I was just telling the girls I wanna throw [IU1]
SUSAN: Really?
MARY ALICE: Yes, I mean, how long have we all lived on this street? We've never done a big group thing.
BREE: I think it's a great idea.
MARY ALICE: Paul never likes to have people over. Well, to heck with him, I'm doing it.
SUSAN: So when is this shindig?
MARY ALICE: How about a month from tonight? That would be the 16th, good for everyone?
LYNETTE: Yeah.
SUSAN: Yeah.
BREE: Works for me. Should we all make something?
MARY ALICE: Oh no, no. This is my party. I've been wanting to have everyone over for years. Oh I'm so happy we're finally doing this. It's gonna be so much fun.
(End of Flashback. Resume to present.)
(LYNETTE opens the door.)
LYNETTE: Hey! (SUSAN holds up the post-it note) I know, our dinner.
[CUT TO: EXT. WISTERIA LANE -- MORNING]
(BREE, LYNETTE, GABRIELLE and SUSAN are standing outside on the street, next to a large tree. GABRIELLE passes the note along back to SUSAN, who holds it up.)
SUSAN: How could we have all forgotten about this?
LYNETTE: We didn't exactly forget, it's just usually when the hostess dies, the party's off.
BREE: Lynette! (puts her hand over her heart)
LYNETTE: I'm not being flip, I'm just pointing out a reality.
GABRIELLE: Mary Alice was so excited about it. So sad.
SUSAN: I think we should go through with it.
BREE: Really? Wouldn't that be in poor taste?
SUSAN: No, it's sort of a way to honour Mary Alice. It was so important to her.
GABRIELLE: We could all use a fun night.
BREE: Well, good, because I have some new flatbread that I've just been dying to show off.
SUSAN: Lynette?
LYNETTE: I'm in.
BREE: I'll make braised lamb shanks.
LYNETTE: I'm still in.
BREE: So how many will I be cooking for?
GABRIELLE: 7. Three couples and Susan. Does that sound right?
SUSAN: No, it sounds very, very wrong.
GABRIELLE: Awww. (puts a hand on SUSAN's shoulder)
BREE: Is there somebody you'd like to invite?
(MIKE runs past, stops a distance away from SUSAN as he sees her, all sweaty and panting. SUSAN smiles at him, waving as he smiles back, waving, then keeps running.)
SUSAN: I have an idea. (they all smile)
[CUT TO: INT. SOLIS HOUSE -- MORNING]
CARLOS: A dinner party. Honey, I may be working late. The Dillman proposal's a complete mess.
GABRIELLE: No, you promise to be home every night this week.
CARLOS: I'mtrying[IU2]
GABRIELLE: Says the prince as he rides off [IU4]
CARLOS: You know what your problem is? You're very tense. Should go to a spa, go shopping. Find a way to relax.
(GABRIELLE smiles slyly as he walks out the door. She picks up the phone and dials a number. Our view of GABRIELLE moves to the right, as the left side of the screen opens up to JOHN in class, picking up his phone.)
JOHN: Hello?
GABRIELLE: Where are you?
JOHN: Algebra.
GABRIELLE: You free at 4?
JOHN: I'm not sure, I got track after school.
GABRIELLE: Well, get here as fast as you can. My husband says I need to relax.
JOHN: You, uh, want me to keep my gym clothes on, like last time?
GABRIELLE: If you would. Please. (They both smile)
[CUT TO:INT. SCAVO HOUSE - KITCHEN]
(TOM sits at the kitchen table as LYNETTE does the laundry.)
TOM: A dinner party?
LYNETTE: Yeah, it'll be fun. Bree's cooking, everyone's coming.
TOM: You know what? I haven't even had a chance to unpack [IU7]
[IU9]
TOM: Honey, can you take this in for me? (hands LYNETTE a camera)
LYNETTE: (takes the camera from him) Have you heard anything I just said?
TOM: Yeah, honey, I'm sorry. I'm just, I'm wiped out[IU13]
LYNETTE: I already got a sitter[IU14]
TOM: Can you cancel her? (LYNETTE makes a shocked sound) Please? Look, let's just stay in tomorrow night. We can get a bottle of wine, and rent a video, and I just wannahang out [IU15]
LYNETTE: I was looking so forward to[IU16]
TOM: I know, sweetie, I'm sorry, but I, I'm beat. I mean, do you remember what it's like to work a 60- hour week? (tosses a pair of socks into the laundry basket LYNTTE is holding and gets up, grabbing his briefcase and walking away.)
(LYNETTE just stands there, looking at him as he walks away.)
[CUT TO: INT. VAN DE KAMP HOUSE - KITCHEN]
REX: A dinner party? Do I have to go?
BREE: Well, given that we're hosting it, I say so. By the way, you won't be drinking at this party.
REX: Why's that?
BREE: Because when you drink, you get chatty. No one needs to know that we're seeing Dr. Goldfine.
REX: You know, if you spent half as much time working on our problems as you do covering them?
BREE: Not a drop!
REX: You know, this-this is ridiculous! This whole thing about us taking tennis lessons.
BREE: Well, the nurses at your office may start wondering why you're disappearing three times a week. Tennis lessons are a plausible alibi. (hands REX a lunch bag)
REX: So these tennis lessons we're taking. How we doing?
BREE: My backhand's improving immensely, but you're still having problems with your serve[IU17]
REX: Of course.
[CUT TO: EXT. MEYER HOUSE -- MORNING]
KARL: A dinner party?
SUSAN: It's tomorrow night, so if you could just keep Julie an extra day.
KARL: Fine, but that's all. Brandy and I leave Sunday for a week up at the cabin.
SUSAN: What cabin?
KARL: Brandy wanted someplace where we could get away. (turns to wink at BRANDI)
(BRANDI is leaning against the red car, drinking from a can. She waves back, smiling at KARL.)
KARL: Escrow just closed yesterday.
SUSAN: You can afford a cabin, but you can't scrape up child support?
KARL: The cheque is in the mail.
SUSAN: (opens the mailbox and looks in) Uh, no, it's not!
JULIE: (comes out the front door) I found my dental guard[IU18]
(JULIE looks at KARL and SUSAN, who both look down awkwardly.)
JULIE: Stop fighting.
SUSAN: We are being as nice as we possibly can to one another.
JULIE: Like I said, stop fighting. (gives SUSAN a kiss as she walks to KARL's car)
(BRANDI throws her drink can towards the rubbish bin. She misses, and it rolls to the ground in front of SUSAN.)
SUSAN: Excuse me. Brandy. (points at the can) Do you mind?
BRANDI: Oh. Okay.
KARL: Uh, Susan. You're right there, you can pick it up.
SUSAN: I could, but she's the one who threw it.
KARL: Come on, don't be petulant. Just pick up the stupid can.
(JULIE looks at KARL, seeing what's coming as it's about to escalate.)
SUSAN: No.
JULIE: I can pick it up.
SUSAN: Honey, stay out of this.
KARL: Fine. (walks towards SUSAN, about to pick up the can) This is so typical.
SUSAN: (kicks the can against KARL's legs) Oh, sorry. Was that petulant too?
KARL: You know what? Pick up the damn can yourself.
SUSAN: Yeah, well you just go to hell. [IU19]
