绝望主妇 | 精讲第47期: 昼颜之妻

S01E10

Scene 1

Bree: "Hello." 
Rex: "Why are you up?" 
Bree: "I could ask you the same question."

Rex: "I'm going to bed. I didn't ask you to wait up for me. Remember, I'm here as our children's father, not your husband."

（Bree picks up the jacket he just took off, and sniffs the collar.） 

Rex: "What are you doing?" 

Bree: "Were you with a woman? Did you tell her that you have a wife, or does that hinder your pick-up style?"

Rex: "All right. Even if I was seeing someone, I have every right to. Exploring options is the whole point of being separated!" 

Bree: "Options! I'm not a mutual fund, Rex!"

Rex: "Oh, that's not...Bree, you should get out there. Try and meet someone." 

Bree: "Meet someone. I'm raising your children." 

Rex: "I am just trying to move on with my life. It is nothing to be ashamed of!" 

Scene 2

Mary Alice Voiceover:"To understand Maisy Gibbons, you first need to know how she spent her afternoons."
Mary Alice Voiceover: "Her mornings were spent running errands for her husband. Her evenings were spent washing dishes and helping with homework."
Mary Alice Voiceover:"But her afternoons, well, they were spent in the company of men."
Mary Alice Voiceover:"Frustrated. Misunderstood. Lonely men. Willing to pay money to feel a little less lonely. And Maisy Gibbons was willing to help them."
（Maisy turns from her mirror as one of her customers speaks as he finishes getting dressed. She begins making the bed.） 
Customer: "Maisy, I've always wondered, Nobody knows about your little hobby, do they?" 
Maisy: "Mm-mm." 
Customer: "Is it hard? Keeping a secret like this?" 
Maisy: "Well, maybe if it was just my secret. But the way I see it, I keep the secrets of every man who comes to me. And I find that absolutely exhilarating. A few years back, Harold lost his job, and we had to give up our membership at the country club. And then one day one of my club friends asked why she hadn't seen me around lately, and I told her that we couldn't afford it anymore. She waved it off like it was nothing. But I saw her...get that look in her eye, that look of...pity." 
Customer: "Maybe she was just trying to be nice. Anyway, is that so bad, feeling sorry for someone?" 
Maisy: "When they say something, they are being supportive. But when they say nothing, it's because they think that you're so far gone you're never coming back." 
Customer: "Gotcha." 
Maisy: "Anyway, a couple of months later, I started my little hobby...and the most wonderful thing happened. This woman's husband became one of my regulars." 
Customer: "Wow."
（The doorbell rings.） 
Maisy: "Oh, would you be a lamb and go out the back? It's my next appointment." 
Customer: "Sure." 
Maisy: "It's the husband of the woman I was telling you about."
（Maisy opens up the front door, smiling.） 
Maisy: "Hello there." 
Rex: "Hey, Maisy."
