00:01Previously on Desperate Housewives, after an incident at school, Gabby was forced to replace the PTA president.
00:09Me?
00:11Carlos was struggling with his guilt.
00:14This is not me. I can't sleep. I'm seeing ghosts.
00:18I know.
00:19Susan found a way to cope.
00:21Taking a painting class being taught by Andre Zeller.
00:24Great.
00:25But the famous painter didn't make it easy.
00:27You're a bored housewife trying to kill time between spin class and driving your kid to soccer practice.
00:33And Lynette discovered that since their separation, Tom had started dating.
00:38It's just a couple of dinners and coffee.
00:40God, Tom, when were you going to tell me this?
00:47In their 20 years together, Tom and Lynette Scavo had followed a few simple rules.
00:55Always share the housework.
00:57Never waste the hot water.
01:03And never, ever go to bed angry.
01:07Yes, the rules for being together were simple.
01:11But the rules for being apart were anything but.
01:15Stop calling it dating.
01:17It's dinner with a friend.
01:20Do not do that.
01:21Do not do the snort.
01:23Could you make her stop snorting?
01:25Lynette, I find it more effective when we use words rather than inflammatory noises.
01:30You want words?
01:31Here are some words.
01:31Liar, liar, pants on fire.
01:33Lobster for two at Shenu is not dinner with a friend.
01:36A $300 night at Sequoia is not strapping on a feed bag with a buddy.
01:41I still do our credit card bills, genius.
01:43All right, enough words.
01:44Hey, it's not like I went looking for this.
01:46Jane lives in the building.
01:47We got to talking.
01:48You know what?
01:48She was actually nice to me.
01:50Something I'm not used to.
01:52Oh, I can't snort, but a drive-by like that's okay?
01:54All right, emotions are running a little hot, but I think I know why.
01:58You two embarked on this separation without a clear goal in mind.
02:03Are you trying to get back together, or are you trying to find a graceful way to end the marriage?
02:12We don't have to decide this right now, but we do need to lay down some ground rules.
02:19For example, are you dating?
02:22He is.
02:23Two dinners.
02:24All right, so you are dating.
02:26What about sex?
02:32No.
02:34Not yet.
02:36He just answered your first question.
02:39He wants to end the marriage.
02:40No, that's not what I'm saying.
02:41I'm not giving up.
02:42Not yet?
02:43I still hope that we can find a way to work things out, but we don't make each other happy.
02:50We haven't for a long time.
02:53So what if?
02:55I mean, what if there was someone out there who could?
03:01I just feel like if we don't explore, that we're going to end up right back in here on this couch hating each other.
03:09Sounds like you have a lot to consider.
03:15There's nothing to consider.
03:17We're cleared for sex.
03:19Let the dating begin.
03:20Yes.
03:22Tom and Lynette were learning the rules of separation.
03:27And the first rule?
03:28And I can't wait to let my new boyfriend do that thing I never let you do.
03:30There are no rules.
03:33In any group, there are roles that people are destined to play.
03:50The perfect homemaker to bring the snacks.
03:54The financial wizard to keep the books.
03:57And the busybody to share the gossip.
04:02But sometimes the most important role of all goes to someone who's not the slightest bit prepared for it.
04:09Hi, guys.
04:11I know.
04:11I'm a little bit late.
04:13A little?
04:13Try 45 minutes.
04:15Well, once you hear what I've been through, you will totally understand.
04:19So, you know how it's called a hot stone massage?
04:22So there I am at the spa, laid out with my mojito, my Marie Claire, and all of a sudden, I feel a cold rock on my ass.
04:28I know!
04:32So Armando was all apologetic.
04:33He wanted to reheat the rots.
04:35But at this point, I'm like, I'm sorry.
04:36I've got a PTA meeting to run.
04:38If you left, why are you late?
04:40Oh, Armando felt so bad, he gave me a complimentary seaweed wrap.
04:44So, what's on the agenda here?
04:46We're supposed to plan teacher appreciation night.
04:49Mm.
04:50Right, right.
04:50So who's doing what for that?
04:52Cindy, you want to handle the food?
04:54No.
04:56Okay.
04:57Rachel, you never stop talking.
04:59You want to emcee?
05:00No.
05:02Okay, what's going on here?
05:03What's going on is you've wasted our time.
05:07I'm leaving.
05:07I have to pick up my kids.
05:09I have to get back to my job.
05:11I need to take my mother to chemo.
05:13Well, okay, okay, let's not play satellite poker here.
05:15I need your help.
05:17You know, we would love to fritter away our days with manicures and hairdressers and spa appointments,
05:22but we're not like you.
05:24We have lives.
05:25So you can do teacher appreciation night on your own.
05:29Well, could you at least fold up your chairs and stack them on the rolling cart?
05:34And can someone empty the coffee pot?
05:35You'd really do.
05:40Jeez, talk about selfish.
05:41Oh, thank goodness you're alive.
05:53I'm sorry, Reverend.
05:54I know that I haven't been to church for a few Sundays.
05:57Few?
05:58Try five.
06:00Do you know who's been bringing snacks to Fellowship Hour?
06:04Helen Johnson.
06:05Oh, let me guess.
06:06Brand muffins from the Mini Mart?
06:08Why hast thou forsaken me?
06:12I should have called you.
06:15It's just I haven't been feeling very spiritual lately.
06:20It's not uncommon for us to lose our way spiritually from time to time.
06:24To feel in the woods.
06:29Interesting choice of words.
06:32It's just that I feel like maybe I'm not worthy of God's love right now.
06:39That I've lost my connection to him.
06:42But here's the good thing about God, Bree.
06:45He's easy to find.
06:46Just seek out the people who are in need, and there he is.
06:50It always comes back to the needy with you, doesn't it?
06:53It's kind of in the job description.
06:55I hear your new neighbor, Ben Faulkner, does wonderful work with the homeless.
06:59Why don't you speak to him?
07:01Perhaps I will.
07:03Thank you, Reverend.
07:04I did mention that Helen's doing the snacks, right?
07:10I just finished a batch of macadamia nuts scones.
07:14Would you like one?
07:16Bless you, my child.
07:18And maybe one for the car.
07:24It's so nervous every time I walk into this class.
07:26I mean, Andre Zeller, right?
07:29Between you and me, he doesn't think I'm a serious artist, but I'll show him.
07:33I have pain.
07:34I mean, like this morning.
07:36My nine-year-old walked right into school without even saying goodbye.
07:40No hug, no kiss.
07:42Nothing.
07:44Well, I'm going to take that misery and use it in my art.
07:48I'm using my father's suicide.
07:54Today we'll be working with light and shadow.
07:58Ooh, eggs. Cool.
08:01Ms. Delfino, this is my breakfast.
08:03You will not be sketching eggs or any other hackneyed-still life today.
08:11You'll be drawing the male form.
08:14The male.
08:21Whoa.
08:26Sorry.
08:28Takes some getting used to.
08:29As you begin to sketch, think of the human form as an object.
08:37What is it that catches your eye?
08:42Didn't mean it.
08:43Just popped out.
08:45I want you to pay close attention to which parts of the human body reflect light and which parts cast a shadow.
08:50I'm sorry, Ms. Delfino.
08:54I didn't realize we were in junior high.
08:57Have you never seen a penis before?
08:59No, no.
09:00Yes, I have.
09:01Lots.
09:01Well, not lots.
09:03The appropriate amount.
09:06Please start to be professional.
09:07I am.
09:08I am professional.
09:10Penis, penis, penis.
09:11I'm just trying to take the power out of it.
09:25Quick.
09:25Tell me about your father's suicide.
09:27Hey, what are you doing?
09:36Uh, I was looking for my phone.
09:41And, uh, I know this is going to sound stupid, but I couldn't go in there.
09:46Oh, God, I don't mean to sound insensitive, but is this dead guy angst?
09:51Because I am really pooped right now.
09:52It's just every time I go into that room, I think about that night.
09:57Well, here's an idea.
09:58Don't go in that room.
09:59Look, there's the kitchen.
10:00No one died in there.
10:03You know what?
10:03We're both stressed.
10:04I'll pour us a couple of drinks.
10:06No, thanks.
10:06I've been hitting that stuff pretty hard lately.
10:08I don't want it to become a thing.
10:10Well, after the day I had, I'll finish the bottle myself.
10:12This PTA gig is turning into a serious pain in the ass.
10:16Yeah?
10:17I show up the teensiest bit late, and the girls are all over me.
10:20They're like, Gabby, why are you late?
10:22You should be sad and miserable and on time, just like us.
10:25It's like they're jealous or something.
10:28Oh, my God.
10:30They're jealous.
10:32They know what to do.
10:33Thanks for listening.
10:46It's nothing fancy, but I'm proud to say we feed hundreds of homeless people every day.
10:56Wonderful.
10:57This is exactly what I'm looking for.
10:59Oh, great.
11:00But just out of curiosity, what did you do?
11:04Excuse me?
11:05Well, when most people want to give back, it usually means they've done something they're ashamed of.
11:10You know, embezzlement, adultery.
11:13What's your story?
11:16I suppose I could ask you the same thing.
11:19And I'd have the good sense not to answer.
11:20Mm-hmm.
11:21I've just been feeling disconnected lately, and I thought by doing something meaningful with my days that I could change that.
11:28Actual selflessness.
11:30That's refreshing.
11:31I wish the city council was as enlightened as you.
11:33Oh?
11:34Oh, they're holding out one of my developments because it includes low-income housing.
11:38Ah, typical not-in-my-backyard attitude.
11:41By the way?
11:42It's not in your backyard.
11:46Uh, I'm going to have to take this, but I will leave you in the capable hands of Donny here.
11:51Excuse me.
11:52Who are you?
11:54Oh, I am Bree, your humble sous chef.
11:57What do you need me to do?
11:59Prep?
11:59Sauté?
12:00Chop?
12:00You want to prep?
12:04Start prepping.
12:07That's it?
12:09Oh, I forgot to show you the spice rack.
12:11Here you go.
12:12Salt, pepper.
12:14And we're out of pepper.
12:15If I may.
12:16Have you ever considered making the soup from scratch?
12:19We don't have time for that.
12:21Just get them in and get them out.
12:22Yes, because we all know how pressed for time the homeless are.
12:25Look, these people may not have homes, but they do have taste buds.
12:29Would you be offended if I tried whipping up a batch of homemade soup?
12:32Can you get it done by noon?
12:36Oh, dear.
12:37I guess I'll have to keep it simple.
12:39It's just a rustic acorn squash bisque, finished with a dot of maple-infused creme fraiche and a little crumble of fried sage.
12:45Holy crap.
12:51Finally, a blurb for my next cookbook.
12:55I understand that some of you are uncomfortable with a naked body, maybe even find it laughable.
12:59Mr. Zeller, I'm so sorry.
13:01One cannot create real art if one is crippled by one's own inhibitions.
13:05We must strip them away.
13:06So, for our next class, we're not going to have nude models.
13:11Phew.
13:11We're going to have nude painters.
13:14What?
13:15Painting in the nude will force you to create from a place of total honesty.
13:19And if you're serious about being an artist, you shouldn't have a problem with it.
13:25Nope.
13:26No problem at all.
13:27What's going on, Gabby?
13:37Yeah.
13:38Why'd you call us here?
13:39I just want to apologize for what happened at the last meeting.
13:43Keep talking.
13:44It was wrong of me to blow you off for a spa appointment when you have such busy lives.
13:49Message received loud and clear.
13:51So, to show you I've taken your complaint to heart, may I present my beauty team, Armando,
14:00the best masseuse in town, Kay, my hairdresser, and Ping on Nails.
14:04You no longer have to be jealous of my fabulous life.
14:08For one day, you can be me.
14:10My treat, go crazy.
14:12Wow.
14:13Good to know you got our message.
14:15You're welcome.
14:17So, you think you might want to reconsider doing the food?
14:19I'd love to.
14:20Uh, I'll handle decorations.
14:22Yeah, whenever you need from us.
14:24That's more like it.
14:25Now, today, relax.
14:27Take a break from grocery shopping and spanking.
14:30I have to go meet my travel agent.
14:34Are you guys serious?
14:35Are we really helping her?
14:37No.
14:38We're helping ourselves to a free spa day.
14:40Then we're going to leave her twisting in the wind.
14:44Oh, hey, ladies.
14:45Anyone know of a good hotel in the south of France?
14:47I did it again.
14:51I'm sorry.
14:52I'm sorry.
14:56Hey, Lynette, did I leave those fabric samples?
15:00Busted.
15:02That is a porn slam, if I've ever seen one.
15:04Porn?
15:05No, I was checking my email.
15:06Oh, come on.
15:08It's okay.
15:09We all look at porn.
15:11What are you into?
15:12Straight?
15:12Bi?
15:13Solo?
15:14Bald guys?
15:15Fuzzy whispers?
15:16Cinnamon cakes?
15:18Poodling?
15:19Do I have to learn what those are?
15:20Because I really don't want to know.
15:23Oh, come on.
15:23Let me see.
15:24I promise I will not judge.
15:26No, I signed up for an online dating service, and I took a stab at my introduction video.
15:31Hi, I'm Lynette.
15:34I'm 35 to 45-ish.
15:36I'm a cancer, and I beat cancer.
15:38Coincidence or not, you decide.
15:41That is more disturbing than any porn I've ever seen.
15:45You said you wouldn't judge.
15:46Oh, online dating sucks.
15:49It's full of guys who Photoshop hair on their heads and crop out their man boobs.
15:54You want to meet men, I'm taking you to a bar.
15:57A bar?
15:58I don't know.
15:59It's been 25 years since I tried to pick up a guy.
16:02Well, with me as your wingwoman, you can have any man you want.
16:05Friday, okay?
16:07I thought you had a date with Ben.
16:09He canceled.
16:10Again.
16:11Some stupid real estate development for the poor.
16:14Bastard.
16:15Well, his loss.
16:16If he doesn't appreciate what he's got, I will find someone who does.
16:20Oh, and lay off the ice cream.
16:22There's no Photoshop in real life.
16:26Good morning.
16:32What's for breakfast?
16:35Eggs.
16:35I was going to make bacon, but it seemed a little risky.
16:39Susan, you get upset if I take my socks off in the kitchen.
16:44What's going on?
16:46Andre feels until we shed our inhibitions, our art will be only superficial.
16:51Anyway, for our next class, we have to paint in the nude.
16:58So I'm trying to get used to it.
17:01And I want to prove to him that I can be a real artist.
17:05Wow, that guy is good.
17:08Gets to see a bunch of co-eds naked and call it work.
17:10Oh, honey, I'm kidding.
17:16No, I can't do it.
17:18I'm not a naked person.
17:22Maybe I'm not a real artist either.
17:24Susan.
17:25No, I mean it.
17:26Andre doesn't like any of my work.
17:28I'm not serious like the other students.
17:32I think I'm just going to quit the class.
17:34Quit?
17:35Oh, this class has been really good for you.
17:37It seems like it was pulling you out of that dark place you've been in.
17:41You think so?
17:42Yeah.
17:43I feel like I'm getting my old Susie back.
17:47Besides, this guy sounds like a jackass.
17:49Don't let him win.
17:51You're right.
17:52I am a serious artist.
17:55I just need to get used to people seeing me naked.
17:58Susan, it's Lee.
18:00You home?
18:01Perfect.
18:02My best game.
18:03Who better to practice on?
18:07Good morning, Lee.
18:08This is Bob's mother of God!
18:15Gay marriage doesn't seem so freaky now, does it?
18:22Looks like Mike Tuscan Bean with Parmesan Crostini is a hit.
18:25Yeah, it is.
18:26But I think you're starting to attract the wrong sort of crowd.
18:29Excuse me, but you don't exactly look homeless to me.
18:37Yeah, I'm homeless.
18:39And yet you have a $2,000 laptop?
18:42But I live in the box it came in.
18:44Okay, I'm a college student.
18:46But my parents did stop talking to me when I switched from pre-med to creative writing.
18:51Well, I'm afraid you're going to have to leave.
18:53Too bad.
18:54I just gave you mad props on my blog.
18:56Is that a good thing?
18:57Comey but refined.
19:02Ree Vandekamp's Tuscan Bean Soup is a revelation in a bowl.
19:07Revelation, you say?
19:08Uh-huh.
19:08And it's already been liked on Facebook and retweeted 200 times.
19:13Which is also a good thing.
19:15But, hey, if I gotta go...
19:17Hold on.
19:18I can't let a talented, near-orphan like you go hungry.
19:22Let me get you a refill.
19:23Oh, and it's Vandekamp with a cake.
19:31Hey, Mike.
19:33Need a hand?
19:36No, I'm okay.
19:39Susan around?
19:40Uh, she's at a painting class.
19:43Okay.
19:45I'll stop by later.
19:47I don't think that's a good idea.
19:52You need to say something to me, Mike?
19:54Yeah, I do.
19:56If things were different, if it had been me that killed somebody and your wife walked in,
20:01I'd have gone to the cops and turned myself in.
20:03I wouldn't have dragged Gabby into it.
20:04There's a lot I would have done differently about that night if I could.
20:09Yeah, well, you can't.
20:10But here's what you can do.
20:12You can leave Susan alone.
20:14Just let her find a way to deal with what you put her through.
20:19It just really helps to talk to her.
20:24But it doesn't help her.
20:26Then I won't do it anymore.
20:35Yeah.
20:52Remember, technique is a crutch.
20:54Learn it and throw it away.
20:56That way you can begin to find your own voice.
20:59And that's what that...
21:03Oh, my God.
21:13Taking casual Friday a bit to the extreme, aren't we, Ms. Delfino?
21:18Isn't this the day we were...
21:20Aren't we all supposed to be...
21:21The school put the kibosh on my little artistic experiment.
21:24It was all there in the email.
21:26What email?
21:27The one you obviously didn't open.
21:30Maybe you didn't send me one.
21:33Why would I do that?
21:34To humiliate me.
21:35To punish me for laughing.
21:37You have singled me out since day one.
21:42Why not try to make a fool of me?
21:47Because in the vast landscape of my interior life, you're merely a dust speck.
21:52I get dressed and sit down.
21:55No.
21:55I signed up for this class to learn something.
22:00Not to be a punching bag for an egomaniac with a paintbrush.
22:07I quit.
22:08Hello, and welcome to our soup kitchen.
22:27I hope you're hungry, because I have prepared a hearty Italian wedding soup today.
22:32Honey?
22:33Two.
22:33Two.
22:33Two.
22:33Two.
22:33Two.
22:33Two.
22:33Two.
22:38Reverend Sykes, what a nice surprise.
22:43That's quite a crowd out front.
22:44I practically had to fight my way in.
22:46Well, ever since I took over the kitchen, we've been jam-packed.
22:49Thank you so much for suggesting I get involved.
22:52I have never felt more needed or important in my whole life.
22:56The intention of charity is not to make us feel important.
22:59Of course not.
23:00It's to help people.
23:01Feeling important's just a bonus.
23:04So what brings you by?
23:05I was hoping you could tell me where a homeless person could get a hot meal.
23:11Well, right here, of course.
23:13No, Bree.
23:15Ever since you've turned this soup kitchen into a bisque kitchen, the homeless don't feel
23:19comfortable here.
23:20Why?
23:21I was just trying to make this place special.
23:23It was already special.
23:25It was home for them.
23:26Until you took that away.
23:28Okay.
23:28Okay.
23:28Okay.
23:28Okay.
23:28Okay.
23:28Okay.
23:29Okay.
23:29Okay.
23:30Okay.
23:31Okay.
23:32Okay.
23:33Okay.
23:34Excuse me.
23:45I'm sorry, but you're going to need to leave.
23:47Hey, we're still eating.
23:49Well, then go eat somewhere else.
23:51You certainly look like you can afford to.
23:53Whoa.
23:53Where's the attitude coming from?
23:55We made this place a success.
23:56No.
23:57This place is supposed to feed homeless people.
24:00It's a dismal failure.
24:01This food isn't for you.
24:04It's for the hungry and the poor, the people we walk past every day.
24:08Everyone deserves to have a place, and this place was theirs until I made it mine.
24:13So, please, pack up your laptops and your smart phones and go.
24:17Please, go.
24:24Ben, I'm sorry.
24:25I have made a terrible mess of things.
24:27Don't worry about it.
24:29You think you can make a speech that good again tomorrow?
24:32Speech?
24:33You're going to help me push that low-income housing project through city council.
24:44This is where you live, huh?
24:47Norman Rockwell would walk down this street and say, a little much.
24:51Can I come in?
24:53Of course.
24:54Well, so you're going to make fun of the inside of my house.
24:57By the way, I checked my email, and you never sent me one.
25:02Did you check your campus email?
25:05I have a campus email.
25:07Okay, I'm going to make this brief mainly because I've got a dinner engagement with someone
25:11infinitely more interesting than you.
25:13Wow.
25:14Climb down from your cross and come back to my class.
25:17Why?
25:18So you can abuse me more?
25:19Yes, I will abuse you and scream at you and make you paint in the nude and do anything
25:24else I have to do to get you to stop being so scared.
25:27I'm not scared.
25:29I showed up at your class naked.
25:32Then you ran away.
25:34Seems to me you do a lot of running away and nervous giggling.
25:39You act like someone who's...
25:43What?
25:45You're hiding something.
25:46And I'm going to pull it out of you.
25:49And when that happens, there is a chance, the remotest, slimmest wisp of a chance, that
25:55you might actually become an artist.
25:57Oh, God.
25:58Is this the part where you tell me that the reason you're being so hard on me is because
26:03I'm the only one in the class with potential?
26:06No.
26:08Amy Yamada is the only one in the class with potential.
26:11You're a bizarre car crash that somehow fascinates me.
26:17Now, if you'll excuse me, this is about as long as I can spend in a room decorated with
26:21ceramic elephants.
26:33Hey, ladies.
26:34Someone want to help me with these flowers?
26:38Okay.
26:38No worries.
26:39I got it.
26:40What have you guys been doing?
26:50People are going to be here in two hours.
26:51Nothing's been set up.
26:53Well, I'm just so relaxed from that massage.
26:56I'd hate to lift something and tense up again.
26:58Yeah, and Ping worked so hard on these nails, I would hate to chip them.
27:02And I can't think of anything witty to say about my fabulous new do.
27:07But I'm not doing squat either.
27:10Why are you doing this to me?
27:12I went out of my way to help you people.
27:14Oh, my God.
27:15You are so out of touch.
27:16Do you really think a hot stone massage is going to solve my problems?
27:19You don't understand the kinds of things real people deal with?
27:23You live in this perfect little fairy tale.
27:25Fine.
27:25I don't need your help.
27:26I have two hours and a very capable husband.
27:29This event is going off without a hitch.
27:32Oh, and one more thing.
27:35Oh!
27:37Hello?
27:39Honey, sorry to bother you at work, but this is an emergency.
27:42What? What's going on?
27:43I need you to meet me at the school.
27:45These PTA biatches.
27:46Yeah, I'm talking to you, Cindy.
27:48Are refusing to help me.
27:50I need an extra pair of hands.
27:52Sure.
27:52Be right there.
27:54He's on his way.
27:57Thanks.
27:57You're a lifesaver.
28:07Wow.
28:19When I pictured this in my head, I wasn't as old as all the other people combined.
28:23Uh, two martinis.
28:25Dirty.
28:26Oh, wait.
28:27That's me.
28:30Feel free to use that if you want.
28:32Maybe I will.
28:33At home, because that's where I'm going.
28:34Oh, relax.
28:36Look at this place like a candy store.
28:38You just have to figure out what you're in the mood for.
28:40Obviously, something with nuts.
28:41I thought I was done with this.
28:44I dated.
28:45I combed through all the losers.
28:48And I finally found a guy.
28:50Someone who was smart and made me laugh.
28:52And now to be back here, my age, doing it all over again, it's depressing.
29:01Oh, my God.
29:02You're right.
29:03What?
29:04It is depressing.
29:06Renee.
29:06What am I doing in Hell's Candy Store?
29:08I have a guy.
29:09He's smart and he makes me laugh.
29:11I thought you said Ben works too much.
29:13Oh, he's passionate about his job, but he's a ten.
29:16You add up every guy in this place and you get a six.
29:23But you stay.
29:24There's definitely somebody here for you.
29:31Orange cable.
29:32Goes around here.
29:35This one goes here.
29:37And bristow.
29:39So, is presto Spanish for cover your ears?
29:48That's hilarious, Cindy.
29:49You know, you should have been a comic instead of a pint-sized pain in my ass.
29:53Oh, it's getting late.
29:55Looks like your perfect husband isn't going to be here to bail you out.
29:58Ah, look who's here.
30:05There's my hero.
30:07Now, hurry up.
30:07I need to get crack in here.
30:09Hey, what are you doing?
30:15Carlos?
30:18Hey, Gabby.
30:19Carlos, you can't be here like this.
30:23You've got to go.
30:24No, no, I've got to help, okay?
30:25No, please.
30:27You need to leave.
30:28No, I've got to help, okay?
30:29I've got to help.
30:30No, honey, you have to leave, please.
30:32Hang on, hang on.
30:33Rachel, get the soundboard set up.
30:47Melissa, Megan, start putting out the food.
30:51Melissa, now.
30:57It's okay, Gabby.
30:58Got it.
30:58I don't know what to say.
31:04Just take care of your husband.
31:11Hello, I'm Phil, and you're beautiful.
31:15You're just saying that, but I'll take it.
31:18God knows it took me long enough to get ready tonight.
31:21I even had to pay the sitter to come early.
31:23Sitter?
31:24So you have kids?
31:25Yeah, five.
31:27Five kids.
31:28Wow, that sounds like a lot.
31:30I actually have a husband, too, but we're separated, and we're seeing other people.
31:34Or he is, and I'm trying to.
31:35Not that I'm doing it to retaliate.
31:36It's just that, wow, I can't seem to stop talking.
31:39Maybe you could say something now.
31:42Bye.
31:44Bye-bye.
31:51Crowd's a little light tonight, don't you think?
31:56Can I buy a drink, or are you already lit?
31:58Oh, come on, I'll let you play with my tie.
32:02Here's the remote.
32:13Don't I know you from somewhere?
32:14Okay, not the most original line, but you're cute, so, Lynette.
32:21Right, right, you're Porter and Preston's mom.
32:24Oh, God.
32:25Mrs. Scavo was the coolest mom.
32:27She used to make us grilled cheese in the shape of dinosaurs.
32:30So, what are you doing here?
32:31I have no idea.
32:41There you go.
32:42That's probably the only set of keys with a purple lanyard.
32:45My kid made it at camp.
32:47Look, I'm wearing something called skinny jeans, which are very painful,
32:51because I don't have something called skinny legs.
32:53So, I just want to go home and peel them off.
32:55Do you mind?
32:56No, not at all.
32:56I just, I don't work here.
32:59Oh, oh, God.
33:01I'm sorry, you're not the valet.
33:03I knew this vest was a bad idea, but the gay guy in my office told me they're back.
33:07Oh, no, the vest is great.
33:10I have it in Navy.
33:12I just, I haven't been out in so long.
33:14I figured I'd try to mix things up.
33:16You haven't been out in so long.
33:18Last time I was at a bar like this, beeper numbers were exchanged.
33:20I didn't even know they banned smoking in bars.
33:24And how did the good old reliable martini lose its job?
33:26Apple, cherry, watermelon, those are slushy flavors.
33:31I'm Lynette.
33:33I'm Scott.
33:34By the way, not that it's a competition, but I have two lanyards on my keychain.
33:38They're pink.
33:39Daughters?
33:40Yes.
33:41Divorce?
33:41No, thanks, I already have one.
33:44You?
33:45Uh, separated.
33:46Um, listen, this is the first decent conversation I've had all night.
33:58What do you say we go back inside and continue with it?
34:01I say, pomegranatinis are on me.
34:06All right, that was easy.
34:08You calling me easy?
34:09Not yet.
34:14Um, please.
34:16Ah.
34:17Uh, can I get you something to drink?
34:20I have, uh, vodka.
34:22I have milk.
34:23I have chocolate milk.
34:24I have juice boxes.
34:26Having kids has really ruined my game, huh?
34:29Vodka and chocolate milk.
34:31That's exactly what I give my baby to calm her down.
34:36Cheers.
34:37Cheers.
34:37Cheers.
34:37Now what do we do?
34:52Put out some music.
34:54Look, my ex got all my CDs.
34:56I could turn on a blacklight.
34:59I'm not 16.
35:00Maybe I could light some candles.
35:03That seems like kind of an obvious move, right?
35:08Not as obvious as this.
35:15Maybe obvious isn't so bad.
35:17Oh, wow.
35:23No?
35:23No, no.
35:24Oh, no.
35:24It's good.
35:24It's good.
35:25Keep going.
35:26I have another room that I would love to show you.
35:30Oh, really.
35:32Uh-huh.
35:33You're getting better at this.
35:46Oh, hang on.
35:52Hang on.
35:53Shh.
35:56Oh, right here?
35:58Okay.
35:58No, I dropped something.
36:01Oh.
36:02Can I help?
36:03My ring fell off.
36:04You had to have shag carpeting, huh?
36:06Well, that gay guy at my office said shag was back.
36:09Really need to start getting my style tips from someone else.
36:12Damn it.
36:12Where is it?
36:14This rug, it swallows everything.
36:15There used to be an end table here.
36:16Oh, my God.
36:17Please don't be funny right now.
36:20Wait, wait, wait.
36:23Here it is.
36:25Oh, thank you.
36:28So, uh, where were we?
36:40I'm sorry.
36:41I can't.
36:42You're a really great guy.
36:48You're nice, and you're funny, and whatever you were doing, to my neck was really working
36:55for me, but the idea of walking ten feet into your bedroom is about the scariest thing
36:59I can think of right now.
37:00Okay.
37:07I'm hoping to work things out with my husband, and I guess I just...
37:13I get it.
37:15You're not there yet.
37:18I'm not.
37:19Well, I think I should go.
37:29Come on.
37:29I understand your hesitation.
37:44I am one of those people with a manicured lawn who would object when a proposal like this
37:50threatens her community.
37:52But my eyes have been opened, and I will personally go door to door to help other people see how
37:57essential this project is, so that where we live can truly be called a community.
38:03You were amazing.
38:15Well, I meant every word.
38:17I want to help you any way I can.
38:19Great.
38:19Well, first thing tomorrow, I'll take you out to see the construction site.
38:22A busy mother may find her attention is needed elsewhere.
38:52And a woman who wanted to do a little bit of good may find herself playing a much bigger
39:00role than she intended.
39:03I was searching and searching for the perfect spot, and then I found it.
39:08Chapman Woods.
39:10Have you ever been here before?
39:19Once?
39:20Well, we're finally going to break ground on Tuesday.
39:24And it's all thanks to you.
39:27That I could help.
39:29Bye-bye.
