Bree Van De Kamp:
Rex and I are hosting a dinner party for 10 next week. We're using our best china and serving duck.

Dr. Albert Goldfine:
So, you and Rex are a couple again?

Bree Van De Kamp:
Yes. You know, that's one of the things I hated most about our separation, not being able to throw dinner parties. There is just something so civilized and elegant about them, don't you think?

Dr. Albert Goldfine:
I take it you've resolved your feelings about his infidelity?

Bree Van De Kamp:
Let's just say I've put them in an imaginary box and don't plan on looking at them for a while.

Dr. Albert Goldfine:
Do you think that's the healthiest way to achieve a reconciliation?

Bree Van De Kamp:
Well, it won't be easy at first. There will be a lot of forced smiles and perfunctory lovemaking, but after a few decades whiz by, I'm sure I'll find a way to forgive him.

Dr. Albert Goldfine:
Well, as long as you have a plan. [smirks]

Bree Van De Kamp:
[Looking pensive] I do want to forgive him Dr. Goldfine but, [pauses] there is still something he's not telling me.

Dr. Albert Goldfine:
Really?

Bree Van De Kamp:
I think it has something to do with why he had the affair.

Dr. Albert Goldfine:
Have you confronted him?

Bree Van De Kamp:
Once... and you should have seen the look in his eyes. He was terrified that I'd figure it out.

Dr. Albert Goldfine:
[looks away]

Bree Van De Kamp:
You know what it is, don't you?

Dr. Albert Goldfine:
Bree, I can't discuss other patients.

Bree Van De Kamp:
I realize that. This thing that he is hiding, is it bad?

Dr. Albert Goldfine:
[Looks away]

Bree Van De Kamp:
OH! OK, um, [nervous laugh] maybe it's better that I don't know.

Dr. Albert Goldfine:
Bree, how does the reconciliation have a chance if the two of you can't be honest about the innermost parts of your lives?

Bree Van De Kamp:
We're, um, WASPs Dr. Goldfine. Not acknowledging the elephant in the room is what we do best.

Dr. Albert Goldfine:
You'd settle for that? A life filled with repression and denial?

Bree Van De Kamp:
And the dinner parties. Don't forget the dinner parties.
