《绝望的主妇》精讲34

[00:00.50]I brought some champagne¹.

[00:02.42]I thought we should have a toast.

[00:05.22]The next day, my friends came together

[00:08.22]to pack away my clothes, my personal belongings²,

[00:10.30]and what was left of my life.

[00:14.60]All right, ladies, lift 'em up.

[00:16.81]To Mary Alice --

[00:18.10]a good friend and neighbor.

[00:20.02]Wherever you are, we hope you've found peace.

[00:22.19]To Mary Alice.

[00:31.91]Let's get this show on the road.

[00:33.79]You guys check out Mary Alice's clothes?

[00:36.41]Size 8? Ha.

[00:38.21]She always told me she was a size 6.

[00:40.42]Guess we found the skeleton in her closet.

[00:42.42]Not quite, Gabrielle.

[00:44.00]Not quite.

[00:44.92]What's that?

[00:45.92]It's a letter addressed to Mary Alice.

[00:48.72]How ironic³ --

[00:50.22]to have something I tried so desperately⁴ to keep secret

[00:52.89]treated so casually⁵.

[00:55.10]What are you doing? That's private.

[00:56.39]It's open. What's the big deal?

[01:06.32]I know what you did. It makes me sick. I'm going to tell.

[01:10.20]What does this mean ?

[01:11.41]I don't know but check out the post mark.

[01:14.12]Oh my god! She got it the day she died.

[01:17.70]Do you think this is why she...

[01:20.29]I'm so sorry, girls.

[01:22.63]I never wanted you to be burdened with this.

[01:27.80]Mary Alice, what did you do?
