绝望的主妇9-4

151
What?

152
While you're gone, I'll be here paying bills
and sorting laundry and cooking dinner,

153
so what part of that sounds like a vacation?

154
Okay, right, you know what?
We'll pick up dinner.

155
and you just take a hot bath, relax, recharge.

156
& nbsp;

157
Okay, I get it.

158
It's going to take more than a hot bath to recharge,

159
but, uh, don't forget, I'm here all week.

160
Then what?

161
And then we go back to normal?

162
Tom, our last version of normal had me popping pills.

163
Normal is a bad, bad plan.

164
Okay, so we'll put our heads together,
and we'll come up with a solution.

165
I think we need to hire a nanny full-time¹.

166
That's just such a big, big commitment.

167
I know, and I know we can't afford it,

168
and I know everything that's happened is my fault,

169
but if I don't get some help,

170
there's an excellent chance I will lose my mind.

171
Okay, well, then, we have to make it work.

172
Next up, the 200-meter freestyle.

173
It's just not right.

174
What?

175
A woman is in a coma² because of Andrew,
and there he is, happy as a clam³.

176
Well, we grounded him, we took
away the tv in his room.

177
How many more ways you want to punish him?

178
Swimmers, take your marks.

179
I think we should make him quit the swim team.

180
Bree, this is the one thing in his
life that he's passionate⁴ about.

181
Well, maybe if we take it away from him,
then he'll start to understand what he did.

182
He has not shown an ounce of
remorse since the accident.

183
Of course he feels bad.

184
He's just, you know, keeping up a facade⁵.

185
Well, he's doing a fabulous⁶ job.

186
Look, if we take him off the swim team,

187
he'll lose his shot at an athletic⁷ scholarship,

188
and then he's never going to forgive us.

189
Well, if it ensures he grows up with some trace of
humanity, then that's a risk I am willing to take.

190
Well, I'm not.

191
That's because you just don't
love him as much as I do.

192
Well, isn't that nice?

193
It's just a fact. I'm his mother.

194
He lived inside of me.

195
He hung out in your womb for a few
months back in the '80s.

196
Since then, I have grown to love
him just as much as you.

197
What just happened?

198
That kid you both love so much just won the race.

199
John.

200
My mom said you needed volunteers, so I volunteered.
