They sure did.
I remember telling them when they were babies that they weren't allowed to get any bigger

because they were so adorable,

and we were so happy.

Yeah, well...

they sure didn't turn out like we expected them to.

No.

They didn't.

We could have been better parents.

We weren't that bad.

We still have so much to teach them.

For starters, we need to get across to Andrew the enormity of what he's done.

I-I suppose we could punish him.

All right, well, what's the appropriate punishment for a child who drives over a woman?

I-I don't know.

You know no matter how the kids turn out, I still love them.

Of course you do.

But I'll never forgive them for growing up so quickly.

Hey. Look.

And then I opened the cabinet, and there was all this money in it.

I mean, there was wads of it.

That's why you're freaking out?

A few stacks of cash? Come on.

Well, what? Realistically, I've known this guy a few weeks.

I mean, he could be a hit man for the mob.

If you really think that, why are you going on a trip with him?

I never get out of the house.

Mom, if you really need something to freak out about,

just remember you're going to spend the night with Mike in a hotel.

No man has seen you naked in years except your doctor.

Yeah, and he retired. I try not to take that personally.

You look old in that.

Oh.

Maybe I am being silly.

But going to a hotel with a man is a big deal to me.

What if Mike is hiding something?

Like what?

I don't know.

That's dad.

I got to go.

Now, listen to me.

No more freaking out. I need this weekend to go well.

Why do you care so much?

Because I'm going to have a husband of my own someday,

and I really don't want you living with us.

Are the lady fingers okay?

Oh, they're terrific.

We just appreciate y'all stopping by.

Well, we just wanted you to know how much we care.

So have the police come up with any leads?

Not really.

They'll be able to determine the make and model of the car,

but without any eyewitnesses, no one seems very optimistic.

Well, more importantly, is there any good news about Juanita?

No change.

All we can do is wait and hope for the best.

We put her on our prayer list at church.

Oh, that's very sweet, Danielle. Thank you.

It must really help during times like these --

having kids.

Yeah, they're a blessing.

Children make everything worthwhile.

You guys are the future.

Legacy.

Thanks.

After we're all dead, you'll be the only ones left to carry on.

Gabrielle and I are about to start a family.

Oh, hey, that-- that's great.

When did you decide this?

It's a fairly recent development.

I see.

We'll talk about this later.

Face it,

we're shallow people.

I mean, can our lives have any meaning if all we ever do is buy stuff?

That depends on what we buy.

I want a child.

In case you've forgotten, before we got married, we made a deal.

No kids.

Yeah, well, deals were meant to be renegotiated.

Well, we're not negotiating my uterus.

We should probably be going.

Yeah. Mm.

Thank you so much.

That was weird.

I feel awful for Carlos.

That talk about children is obviously coming from his grief.

Whatever.

I'm off the hook.

A weary Lynette drank her potent tea in hopes of finally finding the sleep that had eluded her.

Unfortunately for Lynette,

there would be no rest for the weary.

Go to hell.

Go to hell, go to hell, go to hell, go to hell, go to hell.

Sorry we're late. Kenny Litman couldn't find his neckerchief.

Come on, guys.

Lori Jean, the scout meeting is today?

Mommy.

What? Oh.

Right. Okay, boys.

This knot is called the bowline.

It is a remarkably useful knot.
