影片對白：

Carlos: Heck of a dinner party, huh? It's amazing how fast you can eat in total silence.

Lynette: It's my fault. I should have just told Tom the truth, although it turned out to be kind of a wash with the whole Patty Rizzo thing.

Carlos: You know what I think is cool? You guys have been married a long time, and you still get jealous.

Lynette: Yeah. But just to be on the safe side, if I fall in my tub again, let me die there.

Carlos: Okay. Back to work.

Lynette: Yes. And we shall never speak of this again. I am embarrassed enough.

Carlos: Lynette? I saw you without your towel. You got nothing to be embarrassed about.

Gabrielle: Hey.

Tom: Hey. How's the garden club today?

Gabrielle: Oh, Yllisgot tanked on cosmos and threw up on Edna...so now we're back to planting crap. Look, I'm really sorry for sticking my nose into that whole Patty rizzo thing.

Tom: It's okay. I...the truth is, is I knew she was coming on to me.

Gabrielle: Then why did you keep hanging out with her?

Tom: Lynette has been so swamped with work lately, that she doesn't...It's just nice having a woman notice me again. Is that terrible?

Gabrielle: No. I get it. When we first moved here, Carlos was working round the clock, and he'd come home and barely say hello to me.

Tom: Hmm.

Gabrielle: It was like I was invisible.

Tom: Invisible... that's the word.

Gabrielle: So when he didn't see me, I found someone who did.

Tom: Y... you know I'd never do that to Lynette.

Gabrielle: I never thought I'd do it to Carlos.

Tom: Well...then it's a good thing. I've got a friend around to keep an eye on me, even if it's one with a small "f".

Gabrielle: Well, for the record, you're growing on me. You know what? I'm thirsty. Let's start a book club.

妙語佳句，活學活用

1.heck: hell的委婉說法, 用以加強語氣或咒罵。影片中Carlos對Lynette說：“昨晚的聚餐糟透了。”來看例句：

I had a heck of a time. 我好慘。

What in the heck do you mean? 你的意思究竟是什么？

2.wash：(水的)奔流，洶涌，撞擊。回憶起前晚頗有些荒唐的聚餐，Lynette說：“盡管最后變成了Patty Rizzo事件的大討論了。”

a sudden wash of conversation 一陣突如其來的活躍的談話

3.be on the safe side：不冒險, 為求保險起見。想到丈夫Tom的醋意大發，Lynette對Carlos說：“為了更安全一點，如果我又倒在浴缸里就讓我死在那兒吧。”來看例句：

It didn't look like rain, but she took her umbrella to be on the safe side. 天不像會下雨，但她仍帶雨傘以防萬一。

Just to be on the safe side 為安全起見而已。

4.tanked：喝醉的。試圖打破尷尬的Tom問起園藝俱樂部的事情，Gabrielle說：“Yllis喝醉了，還吐在Edna身上。”來看例句：

If he gets tanked up again, who will drive us home? 如果他又灌醉了，誰開車送我們回家呀？

He was tanked up last night and went back home at midnight. 他昨晚喝醉了之后，半夜才回了家。

5.stick/poke one's nose into :查探,干涉。影片中Gabrielle對Tom說：“我真的很抱歉，對Patty Rizzo這事多管閑事。”

Don't stick your nose into my business. 不要干預我的事。

6.come on to:對……輕薄，吃豆腐。面對Gabrielle的歉意，Tom坦白道：“我知道她對我有意思。”

7.be swamped with：工作過多忙不過來，超負荷。Tom說起自己的心里話：“Lynette工作到那么晚，累得癱掉，有個女人再次注意到我的感覺很好。”來看例句;

I am swamped with work. 太多的工作使我忙不過來。

The firm is swamped with orders. 大量訂單使那家工廠應接不暇。

8.for the record: 使...知道，聲明。Gabrielle對Tom說：“說真的，我也開始慢慢喜歡你了。”

For the record, you sound like a complete lunatic. 真的，你聽起來就象是徹底瘋了。

9.grow on：引起...愛好, 加深影響。
