Bree: Rex, if you walk out of this restaurant, I will scream.
Rex: Bree...

Good friends offer to help in a crisis; great friends don't take no for an answer

Bree

Every time we went out for pizza you could have said, "Oh, and by the way, I once killed a man." Or when you said, "Hey, let's go jogging," you could have said, "Wow, by the way, I once killed a man." Every time we went to the movies and the hero shot the bad guy you could have turned to me and said, "Oh, by the way, I did that once." You didn't!

Susan

As I see it good friends avoid each other after being humiliated, but great friends pretend nothing happened in the first place

Edie

Edie: I was just about to give a Maisy Gibbons update.

Bree: Well, you should have thought of that before you left a personal check on Maisy Gibbon's nightstand

Lynette: I don't get it. I don't get who would pay Maisy for sex.
Gabrielle: Obviously someone who is not getting it at home

Bree: Oh sweetie, they didn't abandon you because you're a whore. They abandoned you because you weren't that nice to begin with
