(Nora is whispering to Lynette.)
Nora: I hope all this is giving you a little perspective on our situation.
Lynette: Shh! She told us not to talk.

Lynette: Nora, please!
Carolyn: Hey, what'd I say?
Lynette: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. We'll, we'll be quiet.
Carolyn: You and your friend are really starting to bug me.
Lynette: She's not my friend.
Nora: She's trying to steal my kid.
Lynette: Nora, shut up!
Carolyn: Is that true?
Lynette: No! I, we're, we have, we're sharing custody, and then, she tried to seduce my husband, so...
Carolyn: She put the moves on your husband? Why didn't you say so?

Parker: (pops his eyes up in excitement) You will?
Lynette: A big one with laser beam eyes, now go get daddy!
(Parker drops the phone on the couch and walks away)
Parker: (to his brothers) I'm getting a real robot!
(Carolyn comes from behind with a gun and takes the phone before she can talk to Tom)

Ding dong!

Tom: Okay. Open.
Lynette: Oh dear god.
