第二季1）Control. It&#39;s extraordinary the tactics people employ to obtain it. Some rely on deception, while others engage in outright trickery. Then there are those who resort to extorsion. Why do we fight so hard for control? Because we know: To lose it is to put our fate in the hands of others. And what could be more dangerous? 控制，人们为了得到它真实无所不为。

有些人靠诡计，有些人则用正直的把戏，还有一些人则屈服于勒索，我们为什么这么拼命的想得到控制呢？因为我们知道，一旦失去了控制，我们的命运就掌握在别人的手里了，还有什么比这更危险的呢？2）Everyone enjoys a game of make-believe now and then. Of course, the ways in which we play can vary greatly. Sometimes, we tell ourselves work won't interfere with our family life. Sometimes we imagine certain relationships to be more meaningful than they really are. Occasionally we put on a show, as if to convince ourselves our secrets aren't really all that terrible. Yes, the game of make-believe is a simple one. You start by lying to yourself. And if you can get others to believe those lies, you win. 每一个人总喜欢时不时地自欺欺人。

Let's just get going, come on! We're late! (walks off towards the car as CARLOS looks closely at the grass.)(Cut to: EXT. OUTDOOR PARTY VENUE --- NIGHT)(CARLOS walks with GABRIELLE on his arm. The party is filled with elegantly dressed people.)CARLOS: (throws his car keys at the valet) Take care of it.VALET: Yes, sir.CARLOS: There's Tanaka. Time for me to go into my dance.GABRIELLE: (smiles) Good luck, sweetheart. (Kisses CARLOS on the cheek.)(CARLOS smiles at GABRIELLE and walks away towards TANAKA. GABRIELLE looks around, and stops a WAITER passing by.)GABRIELLE: Oh, excuse me.WAITER: Ma'am?GABRIELLE: You see that man who just walked away? Can you make sure he has a drink in his hand all Night long. (Tucks a folded banknote in his pocket.)Waiter: (smiles) Yes, ma'am.(GABRIELLE looks around, and hurries off.)(Cut to: INT. GABRIELLE'S CAR --- NIGHT (LATER)GABRIELLE is driving the car. We see that she's driving back to Wisteria Lane. She parks the car in her driveway, hurries into the open garage door, reappearing pushing the lawn mower. She pushes the machine onto the grass and begins to mow the lawn, tottering along in her high heels and party dress.)(Cut to: EXT. OUTDOOR PARTY VENUE --- NIGHT (STILL LATER)GABRIELLE hurries back to the party. She sees CARLOS with TANAKA, a drink on his hand, who hasn't even noticed that she'd left. She sighs with relief, running her hand along her hair. GABRIELLE picks a piece of grass from her hair, throwing it over her shoulder hastily.(Cut to: EXT. SOLIS HOUSE --- DAY (THE NEXT MORNING)CARLOS comes out of the front door and walks down the walkway. He stops and crouches down to run his hand along the mowed grass. Looking puzzled, CARLOS straightens up and continues walking to the car mollified. We pan up to see GABRIELLE watching from the upstairs balcony, sighing with relief as she's successfully covered her affair.)------------------------------------------------------------CUT TO:[INT. SUPERMARKET --- DAY](SUSAN pushes her cart along the aisle. Spotting MRS. HUBER, she tries to sneak past, with no luck. MRS. HUBER notices her.)MRS. HUBER: Susan? Susan!SUSAN: (smiles) Oh. Mrs. Huber, how you doing?MRS. HUBER: Not too well, I'm afraid. I'm trying to find something to soothe my stomach.SUSAN: It's upset?MRS. HUBER: Yeah, I had the worst macaroni and cheese at the wake, it's been running through my system ever since.SUSAN: (sympathetic smile) Oh.MRS. HUBER: And I need to be at my best tonight. Edie Britt's son is spending the night tonight.SUSAN: (raises her eyebrows) He's spending the night?MRS. HUBER: Apparently, Edie is having a gentleman friend over on dinner, and I think she plans on entertaining into the wee hours, if you know what I mean. (SUSAN is stunned. She immediately hurries out, leaving her cart in the middle of the aisle while MRS. HUBER is busy browsing.)MRS. HUBER: Oh, here's some antacid. Have you ever tried this? (looks up, notices SUSAN is gone)(Cut to: INT. SUSAN's HOUSE - KITCHEN ---- NIGHT SUSAN is pacing the floor as JULIE watches her, curled up on the couch.)SUSAN: I can't believe it. This can't be happening. Mike can't like Edie better than me, he just can't!JULIE: I don't know what's going on. Maybe they're just... having dinner.(SUSAN gives her a look.)JULIE: You're right. They're doing it.(Cut to: EXT. WISTERIA LANE --- NIGHT)(SUSAN holds a measuring cup and walks up to EDIE's front porch. She rings the doorbell.)SUSAN: Edie?(SUSAN walks along the side of EDIE's house, peering in the back door.)SUSAN: Edie? Hello..?(SUSAN tries the back door and finds it open. Hearing music, she walks in.)SUSAN: Anybody home? I need to borrow sugar?(SUSAN walks along the corridor, where she picks up a piece of EDIE's discarded clothing. She goes into the living room, where she sees lots of candles lit, glasses of wine and chocolate on the coffee table. The measuring drop drops out of her hand and onto the floor. She picks up EDIE's pink, flowered bra, looking at it as she hears a noise.) EDIE: [OS] Oh! Oh my god!(SUSAN realizes what EDIE is doing upstairs. Upset, she drops down onto the couch)NARRATOR: And just like that, the possibility that Susan had clung onto, the maybe of Mike Delfino was gone forever. And despite the precariousness of the situation, Susan took a moment to mourn her loss.(SUSAN throws EDIE's bra behind her, where it catches the flame of the candles. It starts to burn, and lights up the curtain as well. SUSAN picks up a piece of chocolate and eats it. Smelling smoke, she turns around and discovers the curtain is on fire.)SUSAN: Oh... Oh! Oh!(SUSAN tries to put out the fire with no avail. She throws the leftover wine from the glasses onto the fire, which makes it worse.)NARRATOR: It didn't take long for Susan to realize, this was just not her night.(SUSAN abandons the scene, and runs out, cutting through the back garden. Meanwhile, EDIE's living room goes up in flames.)EDIE: (OS) Is somebody out there? Oh my god, there's smoke!------------------------------------------------------------CUT TO: [EXT. EDIE'S HOUSE ---- NIGHT (LATER)](The house is a burning inferno. The neighborhood has turned out to watch as fire-fighters try and save the blazing house. EDIE, wrapped in a blanket and followed by a fireman, rushes out from behind a fire truck and sees the burning house.)EDIE: (teary) Oh my god. Oh... (Leans against the fire truck)(We follow SUSAN, as she walks by MRS. HUBER.)MRS. HUBER: (in a lowered voice, to neighbor) ...candles unattended in the den. Paramedics say she was lucky, she could've been killed!(SUSAN walks up to where LYNETTE, BREE and GABRIELLE are standing together behind the police tape, facing the burning house.)LYNETTE: (to GABRIELLE and BREE) She was having sex with some guy when the fire started.GABRIELLE: What happened to him?LYNETTE: He got smoke inhalation, he's at the hospital.SUSAN: Oh..BREE: Susan, are you alright? You look awful.。
