Lynette: So, he just blew you off?
Susan: I told him another man asked me out. It was the perfect opportunity for Mike to feel jealous, and nothing.
Lynette: Did you bat your eyes? You know, it doesn t work if you don t bat your eyes.
Susan: Honey, I batted everything that wasn t nailed down. I m telling you, nothing.
Lynette: Oh, thanks.
Susan: So what s going on there?
Lynette: Mm. Gophers.
Susan: Wow.
Lynette: Listen, I m sorry about Mike. I know how much you like him.
Susan: Ah, maybe it s my fault. Maybe I just imagined an entire relationship with this man that didn t exist.
Lynette: There has been flirting1. I have seen it.
Susan: Yeah, and the flirting made me think that he was kind and trustworthy and honest and hygienic. That s how it is with me -- a guy just smiles at me three times, and I m picking out wedding china. I m a mess.
Lynette: But to be fair, that s part of your charm2.
Susan: That s what happened with Karl. I only dated him a couple of months, I filled in the blanks, I married him. It was a disaster.
Lynette: You think Mike is a Karl in disguise3?
Susan: I don t know. What does that mean, anyway, my life is complicated ?
Man: If I wanted to sit around and wait for nothing, I could do it on the can. You re late. What s with the face?
Mike: I screwed up. I broke into the Frome house and almost got caught.
Man: What s almost?
Mike: I accidentally left something behind with my prints on it.
Man: Did you ever hear of gloves?
Mike: It s the suburbs. I didn t think it d matter. Anyway, the police are running a check, and I m in the system. I got to pull up stakes before they come looking for me.
Man: That s a sweet sound -- laughter like that, huh? Pisses me off. If and when your cover is blown, you disappear. Until then, you keep fixing the neighbors pipes.
Mike: But the more time I spend in this town, the more I think we re making a mistake. They are nice people.
Man: My money says one of em isn t.
Man: Whoa.
Boy: Thanks.
Man: No more screw-ups.
Mama Solis: Gabrielle, please. You bought me enough things. You re the one that s supposed to be shopping.
Gabrielle: Oh, mama, you re in a rut. We need to spice up your wardrobe. Ooh, here. Try this one on. Go on, try it on. Mama Solis, how you doing in there?
Mama Solis: Is it supposed to be so tight?
Gabrielle: Yes, it s form-fitting. You re going to look great.
Mama Solis: Gabrielle, I don t think this dress is right for me. I can t breathe.
Gabrielle: Well, maybe I made a mistake. While you change, I m to make a quick run to the bookstore.
Mama Solis: Gabrielle, wait, wait. I m coming with you.
Gabrielle: No, no, no. I ll just be a minute.
Mama Solis: Wait, wait, Gabrielle, I m coming with you -- ay! Wait! Gabrielle, wait!
Woman: Ma am? Ma am, sorry. I need to look in your bags, please.
Mama Solis: Fine. Just hurry up.
John: Right on time.
Mama Solis: I m telling you, I don t know where that blouse came from.
Woman: Security!
Mama Solis: All right, keep your stupid blouse. I m going to have to find my daughter-in-law. Don t touch me. Don t you dare touch me!
Security: Ma am, you re going to have to come with us.
Mama Solis: Get your hands off me! Gabrielle!
妙语佳句，活学活用
1. Blow off
“不在乎，轻视”，这里的意思是“他一点也没把你的话放在心上？”我们来看个例子：If you blow off your homework, you re bound to run into trouble on the exam. 如果你不重视作业的话，考试肯定会有麻烦的。
2. Bat one s eyes
To bat one s eyes means to blink4 one s eyes in a flirtatious5 way，和“抛媚眼”差不多。比如：Look at that chick. She s batting her eyes at us. 看那个小妞。她正朝我们抛媚眼呢。
3. A Karl in disguise
In disguise 的意思是“乔装的，伪装的，化妆的”。A Karl in disguise从字面上看来是“乔装的卡尔”，实际的意思是说“另一个卡尔”。比如：I don t like your boyfriend. I think he s a John in disguise. 我不喜欢你的男朋友，他不过是另一个约翰罢了。
4. Screw up
在俚语中“弄糟，搞砸”的意思。比如：The engineers screwed up the entire construction plan. 工程师们把整个施工计划搞砸了。
Screw和up 和在一起就成了名词screw-up，意思也是“弄糟，搞砸”。
5. Piss off
有两个意思，一个是to make or become angry，比如：That letter pissed me off. 那封信把我气坏了。另一个是to go away / leave，比如：Piss off and stop bothering me. 走开，别再烦我。
6. In a rut
“照惯例，照老规矩，墨守成规”。Mama Solis认为自己年纪大了，身材走形了，不应该再花那么多金钱和时间在买衣服上了，这也是很多上年纪的女人的想法。Gabrielle 则告诉她“不要抱着这种传统的想法”。我们来看个例子：We go to the seashore every summer-we re in a rut. 每年夏天我们都去海边，这已成为惯例。
7. Spice up
To spice up means to make it more appealing or sexy。“辣妹”的英文就是Spice Girls，两相对照联想，你应该会明白是什么意思了吧。比如：Want to spice up a golf game？Add tasty tees. 想为高尔夫球比赛增添趣味？来点别致的球座吧。
8. Form-fitting
“贴身的，紧身的”。比如“紧身衣服”：a form-fitting cloth。
