Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Mary Alice Young : People are complicated creatures. On the one hand, able to perform great acts of charity. On the other, capable of the most underhanded forms of betrayal. It's a constant battle that rages within all of us - between the better angels of our nature and the temptation of our inner demons. And, sometimes, the only way to ward off the darkness... is to shine the light of compassion.

  Gabrielle Solis : [to Susan]  They took him away in handcuffs.

  [sobs] 

• Susan Mayer : Gabrielle, he's in high school, and it's illegal and you're married. If Carlos found out, this would kill him.

  Gabrielle Solis : It's just sex.

  [whispers] 

  Gabrielle Solis : It's totally harmless.

  Susan Mayer : How could you call something like this harmless? After everything you know about what I went through with Carl?

  Gabrielle Solis : This isn't about you.

  Susan Mayer : Yes, it is. It's about me, and about every other person who was screwed over by somebody they loved.

  Gabrielle Solis : Ugh.

  Susan Mayer : When Carl ran off with Brandi, you saw what a basket case I was. I was crying, I - I was tearing up his clothes, I couldn't get out of bed all day. You were right there. How could you do the same thing?

  Gabrielle Solis : Uh, how can you compare me to Carl? That's not fair. You have *no* idea what my life is like.

  Susan Mayer : Well, why don't you enlighten me? You are beautiful, you have more money than you can spend, and you have a husband who adores you.

  Gabrielle Solis : No, he doesn't adore me. He adores *having* me.

  Susan Mayer : That's a rationalization, and you know it.
