Susan

  • Yeah, well, my heart wants to hurt you, but I'm able to control myself!

  • How would you feel if I used your child support payments for plastic surgery?

  • Every time we went out for pizza you could have said, "Hey, I once killed a man."

  • Okay, yes I am closer to your father than I have been in the past, the bitter hatred has now settled to a respectful disgust.
Lynette
  • Please hear me out… this is important. Today I have a chance to join the human race for a few hours -- there are actual adults waiting for me with margaritas. Look, I'm in a dress, I have make-up on.

  • We didn't exactly forget. It's just usually when the hostess dies, the party is off.

  • And I love you because you find ways to compliment me when you could just say, "I told you so."
Gabrielle
  • I want a sexy little convertible! And I want to buy one, right now!

  • Why are all rich men such jerks?

  • The way I see it is that good friends support each other after something bad has happened, great friends act as if nothing has happened.

  • Love isn't enough. Where would we live? Here? With your roommates? The only decoration in the bathroom is a bong!

  • The only person more self-centred than me is Carlos; he's so self-centred he doesn't even know how self-centred I am.
Bree Van De Kamp
  • Oh, sweetie, they didn't abandon you because you're a whore, they abandoned you because you weren't all that nice to begin with.

  • I'm taking my champagne and ageing eggs and I'm going.

  • This is the way I see it, good friends offer to help in a crisis, great friends don't take no for an answer.
Carlos, Gabrielle's husband
  • Deals are meant to be renegotiated.

  • Beating up a second gay guy looks bad.

  • You wanna be a better mother? Do what my mama did, make sacrifices. My mama worked her fingers to the bone for me.
Sister Mary
Money can't buy happiness.

Father Crowley
Don't be angry; be thankful, children are a gift.

Reverend Sikes
And over the years, we've had so many young people come to our ministry hating themselves for their unnatural desires, and within a few months, they've found an inner peace and a tranquillity that is nothing short of miraculous.

Edie
Of course I believe in evil -- I work in real estate.
