EXT -Mayer House -Day (The doorbell rings and Susan answers it to Mrs Fome) Mary Alice Voiceover: Mrs Fome liked Susan. But it was common knowledge on Wisteria Lane that wherever Susan Mayer went, bad luck was sure to follow. (Underneath this Mrs Fome is asking Susanto look after her cat. Shes nervous asking at first. And when Susan agrees she looks positively worried for her cats well being) EXT-Wisteria Lane-Outside Mayer House-Day (Shot of Susan backing the car out of the driveway.

EXT-Mayer House -Garden - Day Mary Alice Voiceover: -To the truly bizarre. (Susan is on a stool filling her bird feeder.

Shes looking back at Susan, who is holding her cat,waving its paw as its owner drives away) Mary Alice Voiceover: As she waved goodbye, she worried that Susans streak of bad luck would continue.

OPENING CREDITS EXT -Wisteria Lane -Night (Shots of people all streaming towards the Scavo house) Mary Alice Voiceover: News that an intruder had breached the security of Wisteria Lane spread like wildfire. INT-Scavo House ?Kitchen-Night (Shots of people milling around, helping themselves to coffee and cakes) Mary Alice Voiceover: At a neighbourhood watch meeting the next night, residents voiced their concerns over the increasing dangers their community faced. (we watch Mike make himself coffee, and then go to find a seat with all the others) (shot of an old woman talking to the gathered crowd) Mary Alice Voiceover: Mrs Eida Greenberg announced that someone was looking through her bathroom window whenever she took a shower. (shot of a geeky looking man talking to the gathered crowd) Mary Alice Voiceover: Bob Fisk warned those present that an unnamed government agency was listening in to their phone conversations. (shot of a large, motherly looking woman talking to the gathered crowd)Mary Alice Voiceover: Helen veil spoke of a ruthless local teenage gang that had egged her mini van. (the shot pans down to see a teenage boys quashed in between his parents on a sofa. He squirms, afraid of being caught out about the egging.) (Shot of a policeman giving a presentation to the assembled people, who are all watching attentively.) Policeman: There are three things that contribute to. (we cant hear what he says during the VO) Mary Alice Voiceover: The evening concluded with Officer Thompson offering safety tips and a plan of action. Policeman:So you can sign up for 签名同意参加a situation you have control over.(He hands a clipboard to Lynette.) Policeman:You can sign up for either daily or nightly patrol巡逻s. I know that might seem a bit like overkill, but I assure you. (Susan watches Lynette hand out the clipboard. She looks over her shoulder and smiles and waves at Mike. His halfhearted response makes her turn back, disappointed.) Policeman:That regular surveillance will deter even the most determined criminal. So are there any other questions? Alright then, lets be careful out there. (everyone claps.) (Susan gets up and talks to the policeman.) Susan: Actually I do have a question. Do you have a second?意思是你有时间么？很常用的一句话，在你想打扰某人的时候可以用到。Policeman:Sure, how can I help?Susan: Well,Im the one who discovered the break in and I think I found some evidence.Policeman:Evidence? (Susan pulls a screwdriver in a large clear plastic bag out of her purse and hands it to the policeman.) Susan: I think this is a screwdrivert left behind by the burglar. And I didnt touch it.Policeman: Why didnt you give this to the investigating officers?Susan: I tried! But they sort of laughed at me, because apparently nothing was taken from Mrs Fomes house.Policeman:Well, I apologise for that. It was totally unprofessional.Susan: Thank you! So do you think it should be dusted for prints?Policeman:Yes. And Ill make sure it gets done. (we see Mike watching the two of them.He doesnt look amused.) Susan:Great. (the cop smiles at Susan. Susan gives him a little smile, then leaves.) Susan: Bye. INT-Scavo House -Living Room -Night (Its later on and the meeting is over.Bree is helping to pack up the folding chairs, Susan is collecting the paper cups. The others are helping to clear up, whilst the twins are jumping on the sofa, having a pillow fight.) Lynette:Boys! Stop it! Go to bed. (the boys dont stop.) Preston: But were not tired.Lynette: Well,at least go upstairs. (She realises what shes holding, and holds out the half full bag of crisps to the boys. The boys see what shes holding and stop.) Preston: Gimme! Gimme! (Both boys reach for the crisps and Lynette backs away from them, towards the stairs. She throws the bag upstairs and the boys chase after them.) Lynette: GO!GO, GO!Preston: C on.Porter: Im right behind you. (Bree looks on disapprovingly at what shes just witnessed. When Lynette turns around and catches her look, she puts her hands up as if shes not going to say anything. Lynette looks pretty happy with the way she handled her kids though!) INT -Scavo House - Kitchen -Night (Gabrielle and Susan are continuing to clean.) Gabrielle:So why werent you sitting with Mike tonight? I thought you two were becoming an item这里是解释一对的意思，GABY是问SUSAN为什么不和MIKE坐在一起，她以为他们早成一对了呢。.Susan: I thought we were too. But hes been giving a lot of mixed signals.Gabrielle:Ill tell you who wasnt giving mixed signals, was that sexy Officer Thompson.He was staring at you all night.Susan: You noticed that?Gabrielle:Honey, trust me. When theyre not staring at me, I notice. (Susan laughs.) INT-Scavo House -Living Room -Night Lynette: I really do appreciate you guys staying and helping.Bree: Oh,please! I would have hosted it myself, only the kids are going away to the mountains tomorrow and theres camping equipment 是个不可数名词，原意是装备，设备的意思，这里是指为了去野营而准备的东西，泛指。everywhere.看得出么，这是句虚拟语句，BREE说，应该由她组织这次会议的，但因为她的孩子明天要去参加野营，家里堆放着野营要准备的东西，意思就是没地方。Lynette:Thats nice of you. And since were talking about it, theres something else nice Id like you to do. Your kids both went to Barcliff Academy, didnt they?Bree: (very proudly) Yes.Lynette: We need you to recommend 推荐 介绍Porter and Preston. We cant even get an interview面试.Bree: Oh,you want me to recommend the twins?Lynette:Yes, you can tell them how beautifully behaved the boys are.Bree: So you want me to lie?Lynette:Yeah. I thought that was understood.Bree: Its just that Im very well respect尊敬ed at Barcliff, and my word wont be good there anymore.Lynette:Yes, but by the time they realise their mistake well be in. (Bree doesnt look too pleased about what shes been asked to do.) Lynette:Youre not having any more kids. What do you care?Bree: Well,I had hoped someday to get my grandchildren into Barcliff. But I suppose that doesnt matter to you, does it?Lynette: It really doesnt.这段对话是LYNETTE希望BREE可以介绍她的双胞胎儿子去BREE她们家小孩上的那所学校。BREE很有意思，说话太直接了，一听到LYNETTE希望她推荐，就说难道希望她撒谎么？LYNETTE的TWINS的确太顽皮，更本就没有什么好的表现。BREE补充到，她如果真的推荐他们进去，万一他们的表现被校方发现了，没有说的那么好，那以后BREE的话就没人相信了。LYNETTE回答说就算被发现了，他们早就入学啦。再说BREE不可能再有孩子了，担心什么呢？意思是不会再做任何推荐了。BREE想得到是很远，说如果她当上了祖母，她会介绍她的孙子孙女去。 (Gabrielle and Susan are taking out bags of rubbish in the background. When they open the door, they hear shouting from across the street at the Young house. Bree and Lynette join them at the door.) Gabrielle:Paul and Zach are fighting again.Lynette:Thats the second time this week. They never used to fight like that when Mary Alice was alive.Susan: Its a shame. They used to be such a happy family.Bree: Just because you didnt hear them fighting doesnt mean they were happy. (They all look at Bree-wondering if theres anything else to what shes saying.) EXT -Wisteria Lane -Day (opening shots of wisteria lane, with people milling about in red hats and over a sign saying neighbourhood watch area) Mary Alice Voiceover: The next day as residents began to patrol Wisteria Lane in the hope of foiling potential burglars, Gabrielle was about to experience a home invasion of her own.(we see a taxi driving down WisteriaLane. It pulls into the Solis driveway. Gabrielle comes outside. She wasnt expecting anyone and is confused about who it could be. A look of horror crosses her face when she sees its-)Gabrielle:Mama Solis! (her mother in law) Gabrielle:What are you doing here?Mama Solis:I came to visit my son and daughter in law字面上是法律定义下的女儿，其实就是媳妇的意思。又例如mother in low:岳母的意思，这样的用法很单一，所以很好理解。. What does it look like?Gabrielle:Does Carlos know you are coming?Mama Solis: No.He likes to be surprised. (Mama Solis drops her bags at her side and holds her arms out to Gabrielle.) Mama Solis: Now come, Gabrielle. (Gabrielle awkwardly goes to hug her mother in law.) Mama Solis: Family should always hug. (she bends in to whisper in Gabrielles ear.) regardless of how they feel about each other. (Gabrielle pats her mother in law on the shoulder. Mama Solis walks off into the house, leaving Gabrielle to think about the awful time shea going to have in the next few days with her here.) INT -Barcliff Academy -Day (we see a folder with a posh crest on it. the folder is opened to reveal Prestons application form for the school.(the twins birthday is the 27th February 1998). We see that Lynette and Tom are at an interview for the school. The headmaster is looking through the file. He stops to give Lynette a distasteful look when she is tapping her hand on her bag. Lynette isnt the only nervous one, as Tom nervously looks around the room we see a selection of photographs of the headmaster on his yacht.) Tom: (re the boat) Wow. Shes a beauty. Is that a 30 footer?Headmaster:(without looking up from the file) 32.Tom: Sweet.I sail. Ive got a Flying Scot. Headmaster:Well, we have several yachting enthusiasts here at Barcliff Academy. Ill be happy to introduce them to you. (Tom and Lynette take this as a good sign and burst into smiles.) Lynette: Oh,that sounds great.Tom:Wonderful.Headmaster: If we decide to enrol your children. (Smiles fade) Headmaster: Tobe honest, Mr and Mrs Scavo, your childrens educational background is a bit more common than we would prefer, but Mrs Van Der Kamp mentioned they were identical twins?Lynette:Yes. Completely identical这里可以解释成双胞胎的意思，原意是相同的，一样的。. You cant tell 这里不解释告诉，而是区分的意思。them apart. Theyre like bookends. Headmaster: We do strive for diversity here at Barcliff. Identical twins could make for an interesting addition.Lynette: The boys are fascinating. They even have their own twin secret language, dont they,Tom?Tom: Yeah,yeah. Its pretty scary.Lynette: Its not really so much scary as highly developed.Tom: Yeah,they bark and growl at each other-这里我们看到TOM形容自己孩子的2个词相当夸张bark:原意是狗的叫声growl是咆哮，都是绝对疯狂的意思了呵呵，有父母这么形容自己的孩子的。其实我觉得老美在用词上真的是蛮有意思的，这里我们可以理解为相互玩耍，相互辩论打闹。其实小孩子都这样啊，尤其是双胞胎。还记得TOM有次说他们养了对terrorists(恐怖分子)么？而想而知他们的TWINS有多调皮了，不过我觉得2个小演员真的蛮可爱的。Lynette:Sorry, Tom, Mr Lenz was trying to say something. Mr Lenz?Tom: Sorry. Go ahead, Mr. Lenz.Headmaster:Id love to meet these twins of yours. I tell you what, Im going to put them on our must-meet list.Tom: Terrific.Lynette:Thank you so much. (They are laugh and are really excited.) Lynette:What is a must-meet list?Headmaster:We bring them in for observation.Lynette:Ooo-observation? Headmaster: Uh-huh.To see how they play with the other children, how they respond to authority.That kind of thing. (Fake smiles plastered all around for Tom and Lynette.) Tom: Great.Lynette:Thats wonderful. INT -Van Der Kamp House -Kitchen -Day (Bree is packing sandwiches for Andrewand Danielles trip.) Rex: Hey.Bree: Hi.Rex: Kids ready?Bree:Almost. Thanks again for driving them to the bus.Rex: Happy to do it. I miss them. (They look at each other sadly.) Bree: Did you hear there was a break in at Mrs Fomes the other night?Rex: Yeah. I heard they didnt take anything.(Rex pours himself a cup of coffee.) Bree: Well,that doesnt make it any less frightening. I mean, he could have been a sexual predator.Rex: What?And he ended up at Mrs Fomes? Boy, that would have been a lose-lose situation.Bree: Oh,Rex! Thats not the point. (Bree fixes Rexs tie and jacket lapels.) Bree: The point is I dont feel safe here, and I was wondering if you would spend the night.Rex: Youre in the NRA, you own like four guns! If somebody broke in Id expect you to protect me.Bree:(sighs) Rex, the truth is, with the kids gone Ill be all by myself in this house for the first time in seventeen years.Rex: Honey,I know its hard to hear, but the
