Rex: Just so you know, I really am grateful for everything you're doing for me. 只是想让你知道，我很感激你为我做的一切。

Bree：Oh, I don't need your gratitude. You're only here because your children are master extortionists. 哦，我不需要你的感激。你在这里的唯一原因，是你的孩子们都是一流的勒索者。

Rex: So you didn't tell them about... 所以你没告诉他们…

Bree：Your adultery? No. I decided to keep that little gem all to myself. 你的出轨行为？不，我决定把这块「宝石」留给自己。

Rex: Listen, I know this is a real imposition. 听着，我知道这是很不合理的要求。

Bree：Yes, it is. The doctor said you could be here for weeks. 是的，这是医生说你可能要在这儿呆好几个礼拜。

Rex: Would it make you feel any better if I told you I'm sorry for what I did? 这会不会让你觉得好过些，如果我告诉你我对所做的事情很抱歉？
Bree：Yes it would...if I still felt anything for you. But as it stands, the place you used to occupy in my heart is very much empty now. 是的，那会。如果我对你还有任何感觉的话。但事实是，你过去在我心里占据的位置现在已经差不多空了。

Rex: You must still feel something for me. 你肯定对我还有感觉。

Bree: And why do you think that? 你为什么那么想？

Rex: Oh come on, Bree, look at this. You're using the good china, freshly pressed napkins, flowers from the garden. This tray was prepared with loving care. 哦，拜托。 Bree，看看这一切。你用了上好的瓷器, 刚刚压过的餐巾，花园里的鲜花。这个托盘是用爱心准备的。

Bree: Do me a favor, Rex. Please don't mistake my anal retentiveness for actual affection. 帮我个忙 Rex，不要把我的吹毛求疵，当作是对你的嘘寒问暖。

I just registered and wanted to say and and to be added to the Van de Kamp list (loved the name, BTW).

Of course, Bree is my favourite character on the show (and I think the best character on TV in a long time. And I think Marcia maker her justice. I can't think of anyone who could play Bree better than her).

I like the other characters too, but I don't think the show would be as much fun or interesting without her. Thank you so much! Marcia is so sweet, I loved her in those interviews! Really great!

I loved Bree and Rex in this episode! I loved Bree's reaction when Rex told her he liked being dominated! It was really funny! Oh, and the Look on her face when she says Palestine? I really loved it!

But wasn't Bree the one who was in control over everything in the house? Rex said it at the Golf Course when Bree was interrupting him. Rex: "I don't have to let you push me around anymore. … You always made decisions, and tell me I agreed." – That is the reason why frankly I don't understand him. He doesn't want to be controlled in life but he does want to be dominated by her.

I love that quote. It is from one of my favorite scenes with Rex. He was so funny in it and I laughed the whole time when I saw the scene for the first time. The way he greeted George with his hand waving, the way he talked with him and laughed about him (not with him  ), and then the grand finale when he said the famous words "You're dating my wife. Please, call me Rex." … it's a great scene

I'm new to the Bree fandom, She is, of course my favourite character, probably the best actresses amongst the entire cast of Desperate Housewives. She plays a character who is very very classy, a great cook, a perfectionist with a highly pedantic attitude, excellent work ethic, almost an OCD-type behaviour and always the one to keep her emotions in check.

The amount of mental fortitude she displays is stupefying, be it when her son runs over an old woman and kills her, or when she hides her daughter's pregnancy, or when she discovers a murder and helps to hide the body or when she shoots perfect tens at a shooting range!

I've always loved DH, but it took me a couple of episodes to purely get the grasp of her wittiness. I abousutely adore her now and she quickly became on the top of my list for the favorite wives. My favorite scene is when she threw Andrew's urine on Rex on the golf course. That was priceless.
