影片对白

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

Lawyer: Gabrielle, listen. Tanaka is stillat large, and they're going to want Carlos toflip onhim, 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 couldscare upthat 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 someodds and endsin 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 leastpoke 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.
