《绝望的主妇》精讲28

I can't believe you tried to kill me.

Yes, well, I feel badly about that.

I told you, mrs. Huber came over, and I got distracted.

It was a mistake.

Since when do you make mistakes?

What's that supposed to mean?

It means I'm sick of you being so damn perfect all the time.

I-I'm sick of the bizarre way your hair doesn't move.

I'm sick of you making our bed in the morning before I've even used the bathroom.

You're this plastic suburban¹ housewife

with her pearls and her spatula²

who says things like "we owe the hendersons a dinner."

Where's the woman I fell in love with...

who used to burn the toast and drink milk out of the carton...

and laugh?

I need her.

Not this cold, perfect thing you've become.

These need water.
