00:00I was laid to rest on a Monday.
00:02After the funeral, all the residents of Wisteria Lane came to pay their respects.
00:08And as people do in these situations, they brought food.
00:12Lynette Scavo brought fried chicken.
00:14Lynette had a great family recipe for fried chicken.
00:18Of course, she didn't cook much while she was moving up the corporate ladder.
00:21She didn't have the time.
00:22But when her doctor announced Lynette was pregnant, her husband Tom had an idea.
00:27Why not quit your job?
00:29Kids do better with stay-at-home moms.
00:30It would be so much less stressful.
00:33But this was not the case.
00:35In fact, Lynette's life had become so hectic,
00:38she was now forced to get her fried chicken from a fast food restaurant.
00:42Lynette would have appreciated the irony if she stopped to think about it.
00:45But she couldn't.
00:46She didn't have the time.
00:48Stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it.
00:49No.
00:50You are going to behave today.
00:52I am not going to be humiliated in front of the entire neighborhood.
00:55And, just so you know how serious I am.
00:57What's that?
00:59Santa's cell phone number.
01:01How'd you get that?
01:02I know someone who knows someone who knows an elf.
01:05And if any of you acts up, so help me.
01:07I will call Santa and I will tell him you want socks for Christmas.
01:12You willing to risk that?
01:13Uh-uh.
01:15Okay.
01:18Let's get this over with.
01:22Gabrielle Solis, who lives down the block, brought a spicy paella.
01:27Since her modeling days in New York, Gabrielle had developed a taste for rich food
01:33and rich men.
01:36Carlos, who worked in mergers and acquisitions, proposed on their third date.
01:40Gabrielle was touched when tears welled up in his eyes.
01:43But she soon discovered this happened every time Carlos closed a big deal.
01:48Gabrielle liked her paella piping hot.
01:50However, her relationship with her husband was considerably cooler.
01:55If you talk to Al Mason at this thing, I want you to casually mention how much I paid for
01:59your necklace.
02:00Why don't I just pin the receipt to my chest?
02:01He let me know how much he paid for his wife's new convertible.
02:04Look, just work it into the conversation.
02:05There's no way I can just work that in, Carlos.
02:07Why not?
02:08At the Donahue party, everyone was talking to mutual funds.
02:10And you found a way to mention you slept with half the Yankee outfield.
02:13I'm telling you it came up in the context of the conversation.
02:15Hey, people are starting to stare.
02:17Can you keep your voice down, please?
02:19Absolutely.
02:19I wouldn't want them to think we're not happy.
02:22Brie Vandekamp, who lives next door, brought baskets of muffins she baked from scratch.
02:27Brie was known for her cooking.
02:29And for making her own clothes.
02:32And for doing her own gardening.
02:34And for reupholstering her own furniture.
02:38Yes, Brie's many talents were known throughout the neighborhood.
02:41And everyone on Wisteria Lane thought of Brie as the perfect wife and mother.
02:46Everyone, that is, except her own family.
02:52Paul.
02:54Zachary.
02:54Hello, Mrs. Vandekamp.
02:56Brie, you shouldn't have gone to all this trouble.
02:57It was no trouble at all.
02:59Now, the basket with the red ribbon is filled with desserts for your guests.
03:02But the one with the blue ribbon is just for you and Zachary.
03:04It's got rolls, muffins, breakfast-type things.
03:08Well, the least I could do is make sure you boys had a decent meal to look forward to in
03:11the morning.
03:13I know you're out of your minds with grief.
