"Desperate Housewives" Love Is in the Air (TV Episode 2005) - Steven Culp as Rex Van De Kamp

[watching an S&M video demonstration with Rex]

Rex : Well?

Bree Van De Kamp : What the hell did your mother do to you?
[Bree has agreed to try "dominating" Rex]

Rex : If things do get too rough, we'll have a control word. If one of us says it, the other backs off immediately.

Bree : Okay. So what's our control word?

Rex : Well, lately I've been using "Philadelphia". What's wrong?

Bree : Well, it's just that my Aunt Fern lives in Philadelphia, and I don't want to be thinking about her while I'm spanking you with a leather strap.

Rex : Okay. Fine. You pick a control word.

Bree : Um, how about "Boise"?

Rex : "Boise"?

Bree : What's the matter with "Boise"?

Rex : We're going to be doing psychological role playing here, Bree, and a funny word like "Boise" would ruin the mood. We need something that sounds serious.

Bree : Hmm.

[sombre tone]

Bree : How about "Palestine"?

Rex : "Boise" will be just fine.
Rex : I want you to say you'll try it, just once.

Bree Van De Kamp : Try what? Hurting you? You actually want me to hurt you?

Rex : So I can feel pleasure, yes!

Bree Van De Kamp : Fine.

[slaps Rex across the face]

Bree Van De Kamp : So, was it good for you too?
