ADD QUOTES-
Susan: This is nothing, Mr. Hobson. We're just having a... difference of opinion. Karl: Yeah! And my opinion is that your teacher doesn't know the difference between emotional problems and creativity! Susan: Shut up, Karl!! Principal Hobson: Excuse me, but did you just tell him to shut up?! Karl: You know, this is typical Susan behavior. And you wonder why no man can stay with you!
-
Karl: Let's cut to what this is really about: You! You hate me and you don't want my son in your class! Susan: That is not true! Karl: It is, too! You're still punishing me for what happened between us. You're stuck in the past, blaming me for your screwed-up life! Susan: Okay, will someone call Guinness? Because you just set the world record for the biggest load of crap in one sentence!

Dave: Edie?
Edie: I always wondered why you were so determined to live on Wisteria Lane. You said you thought we'd be happy here, and I wanted to believe you. But it turned out that you just wanted to be close to Mike Delfino. (shows Dave a news article on Mike Delfino's acquittal)
Dave: Who gave you that?
Edie: Nobody gave it to me. I did research. You think I'm too stupid to do research?!
Dave: Edie, listen, this doesn't mean anything.
Edie: It's all there. The accident, Mike's acquittal and even a little mention of how..."David Dash"...couldn't make it to the funeral because he had a nervous breakdown.
Dave: Honey, look, just give me a chance to explain. All right?
Edie: Oh, so now you want to explain. OK. Why don't you start by explaining why you married me?
Dave: I married you because I love you.
Edie: No! You married me because you needed a cover story so you could get close to the man who killed your family.
Dave: That's ridiculous.
Edie: Yeah! It's insane! But that's why you did it. So what are you gonna do now? You gonna hurt him? I mean, that's the only logical explanation. And my only question is...what the hell have you been waiting for?
Dave: Honey, you're not feeling well. So let's get you upstairs and into bed.
Edie: Tell me the truth, you freak! Did you move us here to hurt Mike Delfino?
Dave: He destroyed everything I ever loved, and he was never punished. I need to make things right.
Edie: Why?! Why did you have to do this?! We could've been so happy!! -

Lucy: (to Lynette) Next time you have an issue with me, you know where my office is. Oh, and as far as Friday nights are concerned, consider that a permanent work night. Don't worry. If you're as bad at coaching as you are at office politics, your daughter won't be missing much.
-
Gabrielle: We'll start with something easier. Bitching. Tom: I can handle that, bitch away. Gabrielle: Well. I am so pissed at Carlos. He is never home. And when he is he's too tired to do anything. And by anything I mean sex. Are you uncomfortable? Tom: A little. Go on. Gabrielle: Well we've never had a drought like this. It's been almost two weeks. Tom: Two weeks? That's a drought for you?

Mary Alice: (opening voiceover) Dave Williams had been planning the murder for years. And like all the best plans, it was a simple one. First he would guide Mike Delfino and Katherine Mayfair to a remote cabin. The next morning, he'd pretend to be asleep as the two lovers left to go hiking. Dave would then grab the gun he'd carefully hidden and start to follow his quarry. He'd wait until the two had paused for a moment to catch their breaths and then he'd pull the trigger breaking the heart of the man who killed his wife. When the Rangers arrived they would mention the reports of illegal hunters in the area and Dave would drive Mike back home, all the while enjoying his pain. Yes, Dave Williams had come up with a very simple plan. But as he was about to discover, there is nothing simple about murder.

Edie's revelation that Dave married her only to achieve his own dark goals is very similar to Charlotte Haze's revelation of Humbert's paedophilic intentions in Vladimir Nabokov's "Lolita". Edie's subsequent death by car accident verifies this comparison, with Charlotte Haze also dying immediately after the revelation, after being hit by a car.
