Gabrielle: You're such a good guy Carlos. I really hate that about you!
Carlos (smiles): I know... (edit) Andrew: You know those animals who eat their young? Even they have more maternal instinct than Danielle.
Bree: Then why would she want the child?
Andrew: You've known her how long, and you still haven't figured out how that lentil she calls a brain works?
Orson: There's no need to insult your sister.
Bree: Let him talk.
Andrew: All right, Danielle cares about three things. Danielle, fun, and, uh... Wait. I was wrong. It's just two. (edit) Gabrielle is about to get in bed with Carlos, there's knocking on the door.
Gabrielle: My chili cheese fries! (to the door) just a second.
It's John
John: Gabrielle? It's me, John.
Carlos: (looking at Gabby) John? John Who?
Gabrielle: Ah, ok. You know that old friend I ran into in the lobby? It might've been John Rowland. Maybe, I'm not sure! (edit) Gabrielle: Six months? Nobody takes that long to heal anymore, it's a breakup not a face-lift. (edit) (Bree offered Phyllis to come to their club to baby-sit the baby)
Phyllis: How will you explain me to your friends?
Bree: I'll say that you're broke and needed the money.
Phyllis: Can't you just say that you like having me around?
Bree: I need something that will fly, Phyllis. (edit)

This is the second time Edie hires a private investigator to track her ex. The first was with Karl.
(edit)
Gabrielle jokes about being Punk’d. In fact, Eva Longoria was one of the celebrities to get Punk’d on the popular show, appearing with Jesse Metcalfe, who turned out to be one of the gang and was part of the scheme to set up Eva. Coincidentally, Jesse makes a guest appearance in this episode.
(edit)
Goof: Danielle says she is turning 18 in a week's time. However, Danielle turned 17 sometime in late season 2, and her birthday was celebrated in episode 2-22, 4 weeks late, because Bree had forgotten about it. Mike was run over by a car sometime after that in the season 2 finale. In episode 3-22 Susan says it's been exactly one year since Mike was run over, meaning that either Susan or Danielle have trouble with the calendar.
(edit)
When Lee says, "First they came for the fountains, and I did not speak up because I had no fountains...etc." He is referring to a famous poem by Martin Niemöller that was famous during the time of the Holocaust called, "First They Came".
(edit)
The episode title "Art Isn't Easy" is a often repeated lyric from the song "Putting It Together" in the Stephen Sondheim musical "Sunday in the Park with George".
