TOM: A dinner party?
LYNETTE: Yeah, it&`&ll be fun. Bree&`&s cooking, everyone&`&s coming.
TOM: You know what? I haven&`&t even had a chance to unpack yet, honey. I just, uh, I just need to chill out for the next few days.
LYNETTE: Oh. Tom. There&`&ll be liquor. And hors d&`&oeuvres. And grown-ups without children. And, and silverware. Remember silverware?
TOM: Honey, can you take this in for me? (hands LYNETTE a camera)
LYNETTE: (takes the camera from him) Have you heard anything I just said?
TOM: Yeah, honey, I&`&m sorry. I&`&m just, I&`&m wiped out. Three cities in 6 days, my head is just pounding. I&`&m not ready for a dinner party.
LYNETTE: I already got a sitter.
TOM: Can you cancel her? (LYNETTE makes a shocked sound) Please? Look, let&`&s just stay in tomorrow night. We can get a bottle of wine, and rent a video, and I just wanna hang out with my best gal. That&`&s all.
LYNETTE: I was looking so forward to a night out.
TOM: I know, sweetie, I&`&m sorry, but I, I&`&m beat.
Scene 2
REX: A dinner party? Do I have to go?
BREE: Well, given that we&`&re hosting it, I say so. By the way, you won&`&t be drinking at this party.
REX: Why&`&s that?
BREE: Because when you drink, you get chatty. No one needs to know that we&`&re seeing Dr. Goldfine.
REX: You know, if you spent half as much time working on our problems as you do covering them?
BREE: Not a drop!
REX: You know, this-this is ridiculous! This whole thing about us taking tennis lessons.
BREE: Well, the nurses at your office may start wondering why you&`&re disappearing three times a week. Tennis lessons are a plausible alibi.
REX: So these tennis lessons we&`&re taking. How we doing?
BREE: My backhand&`&s improving immensely, but you&`&re still having problems with your serve.
REX: Of course.
