影片对白:
Susan:Okay. Yeah, I guess that could be fun. While our friends are toasting to our everlasting happiness, we can yell, "surprise! It's all a sham ! Thanks for the crock-pot!"
Jackson: No, no, no. We can't tell anybody this is a fake. The whole thing could blow up .
Susan:Can't I at least tell the girls?
Jackson: No way. I mean, they don't call her "Gabby " for nothing.
Susan:Wow. Ah, fake marriages-they're complicated.
Jackson: I... I... I know I'm asking a lot, Susan.
Susan:No, no. It's okay. I wanna do this. Truth is... I miss you, and the house has been kind of lonely since you left.
Jackson: Well, I hear you loud and clear .
Susan:Not that lonely.
Lynette: What are you doing?
Tom: Thinking.
Lynette: Well, think inside. I made pork chops.
Tom: Aren't you gonna ask me about my job interview?
Lynette: Oh, right. How'd that go?
Tom: Ok... Until the 30-year-old who was interviewing me asked me if I'd ever used twitter ing as part of a marketing campaign.
Lynette: And what'd you say?
Tom: Nothing…Because I don't know what "twittering" is.
Lynette: It's a social networking tool where you send instant updates to anybody who signs up for them.
Tom: So you knew about this, and yet you kept it from me?
Lynette: I didn't keep it from you. It's just one of those tech things that you don't care about. It's for young people.
Tom: And I am a dinosaur marching into the tar pit.
Lynette: I didn't say that. You're not gonna get a whole lot of sympathy from me. I just went through the same thing. Remember?
Tom: Yeah, but you didn't tell me how bad it was. That's another thing you kept from me.
