绝望主妇 | 精讲第56期: 美国人怎么形容“白莲花”

S01E12

Scene 1

Edie ： "Okay, then. Well, here's the deal. Since the Ice Queen isn't doing anything to memorialize her sister, I have decided to carry Martha's ashes up to Torch Lake and scatter them myself. It's where her husband proposed." 
Lynette: "That's so sweet." 
Edie: "I know. So, I thought that some of the neighbors could caravan up there, and we'd have a little ceremony. I've printed out maps if anyone needs one, and the dress is semi-formal." 

Gabrielle: "You know, Edie, I'd love to go, but, um, I just got back into modeling, you know, just for fun, and I have a gig tomorrow. I can't leave 'em hanging."

Lynette: "I wish I would have known earlier. I would have arranged a sitter." 
Bree: "Damn, I have to take Rex to his angiogram." 
Edie: "Hmmm." (looking at Susan) "Well, Mayer, what's your excuse?" 
Susan: "I'm just, you know, busy. Stuff." 
Edie: "Well, your friends are much better liars."

Scene 2

Edie: "I bet you were a cheerleader in high school, weren't you?" 
Susan: "My junior year. How'd you know?"

Edie: "Girls like you were always cheerleaders. Clear skin. Honor Roll. Popular. In high school, I was the girl that hung out with the freaks at the loading dock. And smoked. Everyone hated us."

Susan: "Well, you know high school. Thank God we leave that behind!" 
Edie: "See, I don't think we do. I'm still the outsider that doesn't get invited to the cool parties, and you're still the perky cheerleader who thinks that she can pull the wool over everyone's eyes."

Susan (cautious): "What?" 
Edie: "You came on this trip, paid for the gas, and look at you, you're changing this flat when you know I have auto club. You want something from me." 
Susan: "I just know Mrs. Huber's death's been hard on you. I want to help." 
Edie: "That's a lie."  
Susan: "Why would you think I was lying?" 
Edie: "Because we're still in high school. The old rules apply. The cool kids only want to talk to the freaks when they need something. Now you're not getting back in my car until you tell me what it is that you want."

Susan: "Okay. Look, uh, I, I just haven't always treated you well, and I want to make amends."

 Edie: "Hm. I still think you're full of crap. But we don't have time to debate this."
(Susan puts the torque wrench in the trunk and Edie closes it.) 
Susan: "You know, for what it's worth, I would have talked to you in high school." 
Edie: "Of all the lies you told, that's the worst."
