17、ning tonight, when it hits me.we could run out of breadsticks.“Lynette: “Oh, honey, you have had, what, four hours sleep in the past three days? You need rest.

Is Orson here?“Andrew: “Yeah, hes at the hospital but, hes not exactly visiting.“Later.Bree: “Suicide? No. Orson would never try to kill hims
22、elf. The police are wrong. It must have been an accident.“Andrew: “But they found his footprints on the trunk of his car. The only reason hed be up there is to jump.“Bree: “But why?“Andrew: “Maybe he was feeling guilty.“Bree: “For what?“Andrew: “Mom, I looked at that ladder. Someone sawed through th
23、e rung.“Bree: “And you think.“Andrew: “I heard you two in your room the other day. You told him to turn himself in or else.the next day, you fall and nearly die. You think thats a coincidence?“Bree: “And you say hes just down the hall?“Andrew: “Yeah, but dont worry. I told them not to let him near y
24、ou, and were gonna get you home as soon as we can.“In the hallway, Ian and Susan are near the nurses station. Ian is speaking to a nurse at the nurses station.Nurse: “Can I help you?“Ian: “Im here to pick up my wifes belongings. Jane Hainsworth?“Nurse: “Oh, yes. Im so sorry for your loss. Ill be rig

26、ree: “Susan.“Susan: “I just heard from Andrew what happened. I had to come see you. If you want me to go, uh.“Bree: “No, no. Come in.“Susan: “I know weve been fighting. Something like this happens, it just puts everything into perspective. I am so sorry. It was all my fault. If I hadnt got so caught
27、 up in protecting Mike.“Bree: “Susan, stop. Mike is innocent. He had nothing to do with Monique Poliers murder.“Susan: “Do you know something?“Bree: “Yes, and I intend to go to the police.“Susan: “Oh, my God. Does this have something to do with Orsons accident?“Bree: “I cant tell you right now. Your
28、e just gonna have to trust me. Can you do that?“Susan: “Of course. I should let you rest.“Bree: “So were back to being friends?“Susan: “We never really stopped.“At the nurses station, Ian is going through the box of items that the nurse gave him.Ian: “Um, excuse me. These things dont belong to Jane.
29、“Nurse: “Are you sure?“He holds up a whittling knife.Ian: “Oh, every couple has their secrets, but Im pretty sure she wasnt a closet whittler.“He looks at the name written on the box.Ian: “Mike Delfino.“Nurse: “Oh, these are Mikes things?“Ian: “Yep. Someone made a big mistake.“The nurse turns to sho
30、ut over her shoulder at someone.Nurse: “Helen, you screwed up the labels again!“Ian pulls out an ring box.Ian: “He had an engagement ring with him.“Nurse: “Ooh, thats pretty.“Ian: “You know, Mike and I are good friends. I could return these things to him, if you like.“Nurse: “Sorry. Hell have to pic
31、k em up himself. Its hospital policy.“She turns to yell over her shoulder again.Nurse: “Its also hospital policy to put the right labels on the right boxes!“Susan comes rushing up to Ian. He quickly hides the ring box he was holding.Susan: “Ian! Ian, youre not gonna believe this. Bree just told me s
32、he can prove Mikes innocent.“Ian: “What?“Susan: “Its true. Hes gonna be a free man. Isnt that great?“She hugs him and he drops the ring box on the ground.Ian: “Yes, its bloody fantastic.“She bends down and picks up the ring box and hands it to him, not even looking to see what it is.Susan: “Here. Im
33、 gonna go get Bree some flowers. Ill be right back.“MIKES HOUSECarlos is on the phone while he and Mike are in the kitchen.Carlos: “No, no, thats great news.

Orson, falling off that roof was an accident, right?“Mike: “Well, sort of.“Carlos: “Sort of?“Mike: “Depending on what Orson tells them, I could get charged with attempted murder.“Out of sight from the two men, Susan stands
35、 on Mikes porch, having heard everything.SCAVO RESTAURANTLynette is on the phone with Andrew.Lynette: “Well, Im so glad she has you to take care of her, and of course your mom comes first, Andrew.
