剧本片段 

S01E05

Zach: I've never had plum pudding before.
Bree: I'm serving it this year for Christmas. I like to try out new recipes before the actual holiday. That way, if the cook book has gotten it wrong, I can fix it.
Zach: You must really like Christmas. You and Mr Van Der Kamp always have the best decorations on your lawn.
Bree: I adore the holidays. I never get depressed if there's a beautifully decorated tree to look at.
Zach: My mom and I would always decorate our tree together. 
(Bree looks heartbroken for him) 
Zach: This Christmas is going to be weird.
Bree: Oh,Zach. You know, my mother died when I was young. She was hit by a car.
Zach: Oh!
Bree: It was right before Christmas as a matter of fact. We were all singing carols and the dog was howling, because everyone in my family sings off-key except for me. Anyway, it was just a terrible ruckus. So no-one noticed when my mother went a cross the street to give the neighbour their gift. The next thing we heard were brakes screeching.
Zach: Wow.
Bree: Most of my family went to the hospital, but I stayed home because I was so young. When I looked out the window I saw all my mother's blood on the street and nobody was doing anything about it. So I got a hose and I washed it off. And once it was clean, I felt so much better.
Bree: I've never told anyone that story before.
Zach: Well, those are the most interesting ones-the stories that we never tell anyone.
Bree: Yes, you're probably right.
