- [watching an S&M video demonstration with Rex]
- Rex: Well?
- Bree Van De Kamp: What the hell did your mother do to you?
- [Bree has agreed to try "dominating" Rex]
- Rex: If things do get too rough, we'll have a control word. If one of us says it, the other backs off immediately.
- Bree: Okay. So what's our control word?
- Rex: Well, lately I've been using "Philadelphia". What's wrong?
- Bree: Well, it's just that my Aunt Fern lives in Philadelphia, and I don't want to be thinking about her while I'm spanking you with a leather strap.
- Rex: Okay. Fine. You pick a control word.
- Bree: Um, how about "Boise"?
- Rex: "Boise"?
- Bree: What's the matter with "Boise"?
- Rex: We're going to be doing psychological role playing here, Bree, and a funny word like "Boise" would ruin the mood. We need something that sounds serious.
- Bree: Hmm.
- [sombre tone]
- Bree: How about "Palestine"?
- Rex: "Boise" will be just fine.
- Karen McCluskey: How old are your boys anyway?
- [Preston and Porter look at each other]
- Porter Scavo: We're six.
- Karen McCluskey: [turns to Parker] And you?
- Parker Scavo: Five.
- Karen McCluskey: Wow. Your mom just pops them out, doesn't she?
- Preston Scavo: How old are you?
- Karen McCluskey: How old do you think?
- Porter Scavo: 150.
- Rex: I want you to say you'll try it, just once.
- Bree Van De Kamp: Try what? Hurting you? You actually want me to hurt you?
- Rex: So I can feel pleasure, yes!
- Bree Van De Kamp: Fine.
- [slaps Rex across the face]
- Bree Van De Kamp: So, was it good for you too?
- Bree Van De Kamp: Rex and I are hosting a dinner party for 10 next week. We're using our best china and serving duck.
- Dr. Albert Goldfine: So, you and Rex are a couple again?
- Bree Van De Kamp: Yes. You know, that's one of the things I hated most about our separation, not being able to throw dinner parties. There is just something so civilized and elegant about them, don't you think?
- Dr. Albert Goldfine: I take it you've resolved your feelings about his infidelity?
- Bree Van De Kamp: Let's just say I've put them in an imaginary box and don't plan on looking at them for a while.
- Dr. Albert Goldfine: Do you think that's the healthiest way to achieve a reconciliation?
- Bree Van De Kamp: Well, it won't be easy at first. There will be a lot of forced smiles and perfunctory lovemaking, but after a few decades whiz by, I'm sure I'll find a way to forgive him.
- Dr. Albert Goldfine: Well, as long as you have a plan.
- [smirks]
- Bree Van De Kamp: [Looking pensive] I do want to forgive him Dr. Goldfine but,
- [pauses]
- Bree Van De Kamp: there is still something he's not telling me.
- Dr. Albert Goldfine: Really?
- Bree Van De Kamp: I think it has something to do with why he had the affair.
- Dr. Albert Goldfine: Have you confronted him?
- Bree Van De Kamp: Once... and you should have seen the look in his eyes. He was terrified that I'd figure it out.
- Dr. Albert Goldfine: [looks away]
- Bree Van De Kamp: You know what it is, don't you?
- Dr. Albert Goldfine: Bree, I can't discuss other patients.
- Bree Van De Kamp: I realize that. This thing that he is hiding, is it bad?
- Dr. Albert Goldfine: [Looks away]
- Bree Van De Kamp: OH! OK, um,
- [nervous laugh]
- Bree Van De Kamp: maybe it's better that I don't know.
- Dr. Albert Goldfine: Bree, how does the reconciliation have a chance if the two of you can't be honest about the innermost parts of your lives?
- Bree Van De Kamp: We're, um, WASPs Dr. Goldfine. Not acknowledging the elephant in the room is what we do best.
- Dr. Albert Goldfine: You'd settle for that? A life filled with repression and denial?
- Bree Van De Kamp: And the dinner parties. Don't forget the dinner parties.
