绝望主妇 | 精讲第60期: 她和他看起来很幸福

S01E14

Bree: "Rex and I are hosting a dinner party for ten next week. We're using our best china and serving duck."

Dr. Goldfine: "So, you and Rex are a couple again?" 
Bree: "Yes. You know that's one of the things I hated most about our separation. Not being able to throw dinner parties. There's just something so civilized and elegant about them, don't you think?" 
Dr. Goldfine: "I take it you've resolved your feelings about his infidelity?"

Bree: "Let's just say that I put them in an imaginary box and don't plan on looking at them for a while." 
Dr. Goldfine: "Do you think that's the healthiest way to achieve a reconciliation?"

Bree: "Well, it won't be easy at first. There'll be a lot of forced smiles and perfunctory love making, but after a few decades whiz by I'm sure I'll find a way to forgive him."

Dr. Goldfine: "Well, as long as you have a plan." 
Bree: "I do want to forgive him Doctor Goldfine, but, there's something he's still not telling me." 
Dr. Goldfine: "Really?" 
Bree: "I think it has something to do with why he had the affair." 
Dr. Goldfine: "Have you confronted him?"

Bree: "Once, and you should've seen the look in his eyes. He was terrified that I'll figure it out. You know what it is, don't you?" 
Dr. Goldfine: "Bree, I can't discuss other patients." 
Bree: "I realize that. This thing that he's hiding, is it bad?"
(Dr. Goldfine looks down.) 
Bree: "Oh, okay, um, maybe it's better that I don't know." 
Dr. Goldfine: "Bree, how does this reconciliation have a chance if the two of you can't be honest about the innermost parts of your lives?"

Bree: "We're, um, WASPs, Doctor Goldfine. Not acknowledging the elephant in the room is what we do best."

Dr. Goldfine: "You'd settle for that? A life filled with repression and denial?" 
Bree: "And the dinner parties. Don't forget the dinner parties."
