Gabrielle: How am I supposed to live without a car?

Lawyer: Gabrielle, listen. Tanaka is still at large, and they're going to want Carlos to flip on him, so this is their way of playing hardball. Now, I'm guessing that they're not done yet.

Gabrielle: Why? What else could they take from us?

Lawyer: Pretty much anything. It's all fair game if they even think they can trace it to ill-gotten gains.

Gabrielle: No, no, no. No! Some of this stuff is mine. When I modeled. Before I even met Carlos! See this, costa boda, bought it when I landed my first cover. This, I spent eight hours on a rock in a bikini for that painting!

Lawyer: I understand how you feel.

Gabrielle: No, you don't understand. I have dug myself up from dirt to afford these things, and no one is going to take them away from me!

Lawyer: Then I suggest you find yourself a good hiding place. They can't take what they can't find. Oh, and if you could scare up that passport too, that would be good!

Bree: Oh, hi Gabrielle! What have you got there?

Gabrielle: My china. I know how you've always loved it, and I thought you might want to borrow it for a while.

Bree: Oh! Well, that's um, very thoughtful of you.

Gabrielle: Say, um, could I store some odds and ends in your garage?

Bree: Sure! Why don't you, uh, come by tomorrow?

Gabrielle: Sooner is better than later!

Bree: Hello. Yes this is she. Yes, he's my husband.

Bree: Um, excuse me, I'm here to see Rex Van de Kamp. Apparently, he had a heart attack. I'm not sure when -

Nurse: He's being prepped for surgery right now. If you'd like to wait.

Bree: Could I at least poke my head in? I'm his wife.

Nurse: You're his wife?

Bree: Yes. Why?

Nurse: I was thinking of a different patient. Let me get the doctor.
