绝望的主妇第一季第二集剧本

Desperate Housewives - Episode 01.02 - Ah, But Underneath

Gabrielle is lying in water, with her eyes closed.

"Like my friend, Gabrielle. I should have seen how unhappy she was. But I didn't."

Flash to scenes of Gabrielle with Carlos giving her gifts as Mary Alice speaks.

"I only saw her clothes from Paris. And her platinum jewelry. And her brand-new diamond watch. Had I looked closer, I would have seen that Gabrielle was a drowning woman. Desperately in search of a life vest. Luckily for her,"

Gabrielle comes out of the water and we see she's sitting in a bathtub. Sharing it, in fact, with John, the gardener, who she leans forward to kiss.

"She found one. Of course, Gabrielle only saw her young gardener as a way to infuse her life with a little excitement. But now, she was about to discover just how exciting her life could be.” Carlos’s car pulls into the driveway. John and Gabrielle kiss as they towel off. Carlos slams the car door. Gabrielle hears it and runs to the window to look. As Carlos gets out of the car and gets the mail from the mailbox, she grabs John and they rush downstairs, grabbing clothing off of the floor as they do so.

Carlos sees the gardening tools on the lawn and looks around as he walks up to the house. Gabrielle tells John to climb out the window and as he does so, she pushes him. He falls, leaving behind the towel he had wrapped around him.

Gabrielle grabs the towel he had left behind and quickly puts her hair up with it. Carlos walks inside. Gabrielle: "Hi, honey, you're home early."

Carlos: "My meeting got cancelled." He glances over at her. "You just took a shower this morning."

Gabrielle notices John's jeans still lying on the couch. She saunters casually over to them and puts a pillow on top of them as she tells Carlos that she just finished a workout.

Carlos: "Where's John?"

Gabrielle: "John?"

Carlos: "Yeah, that's his truck out front."

"Gabrielle was panicked. She knew if her husband discovered her secret, she would feel the full force of his wrath.” Suddenly, from outsid e, John says, "Hey, Mr. Solis!"

Gabrielle and Carlos turn to the window and see John from the waist up, clothed, trimming the hedge. Carlos tells him to work on the fichus and John tells him that he will. Before turning away to continue trimming the hedge, he looks at Gabrielle with a slight smile.

"But she was quickly reminded that what Carlos couldn't see, couldn't hurt her."

From the outside, we see John standing on a ladder, trimming the hedges...naked from the waist down.

The four women are at Susan's house.

"The peaceful facade of Wisteria Lane had recently been shattered.

First by my suicide. And then by the discovery of a note among my belongings that suspected a suspicious reason for my desperate act. My friends gathered to discuss its implications." Susan picks up the note from the kitchen table. "I think we should give it to Paul."

Gabrielle takes it from her. "He's still mourning, Susan. He'll probably freak out."

Susan: "It doesn't matter. She was his wife. He deserves to have all the facts."

Bree: "Well, we could do it gently. We could tell him about it over coffee and pastry."

Lynette: "That'll be fun. 'Paul, we have proof your wife killed herself over some deep, dark, secret. Another bear claw?'"

Gabrielle: "We could always call the police."

Lynette: "Maybe it's just some sort of sick joke."

Bree: "Well, if it was a joke, it was in very poor taste."
