Oh!
- We don't want to get spanked.
- We promise we'll be good.

Too late. You stole.
And then you lied.

Even worse, you made me look bad
in front of Mrs. McCluskey,

who you know
is Mommy's sworn enemy.

Time to pick your poison.

How about a belt? It's a classic.

Well, we could go
with the old hickory stick.

It's a clich

but it's effective.

I know. We'll go with the spatula.
The holes give it less wind resistance.

- Moves faster.
- [All] No! No, no, no, no.

Guys! Hey, my hands are tied.
Thieves get spanked.

Just the way it works.

- Unless...
- Unless what?

For a first time offence,
if you swear,

cross your heart,
that you will never, never steal again,

and you write Mrs. McCluskey
a letter of apology,

I will let it slide.

- [All] OK!
- Yeah! We swear.

All right, start with
"Dear Mrs. McCluskey..."

Mommy? Why are you smiling?

Do you know what
"psychological warfare" means?

- No.
- Well, too bad for you.

OK, start with a big "M", "C"...

Good.

Rex and I are hosting a dinner party
for ten next week.

We're using our best china
and serving duck.

So, you and Rex
are a couple again?

Yes. You know, that's one of things
I hated most about our separation.

Not being able
to throw dinner parties.

There's just something so civilized
and elegant about them, don't you think?

I take it you've resolved
your feelings about his infidelity?

Let's just say
I've put them in an imaginary box

and don't plan on looking
at them for a while.

Is that the healthiest way
to achieve a reconciliation?

Well, it won't be easy at first.

There'll be a lot of forced smiles
and perfunctory love-making,

but after a few decades whiz by,
I'm sure I'll find a way to forgive him.

Well, as long as you have a plan.

I do want to forgive him,

but... there's something
he's still not telling me.

Really?

I think it has something
to do with why he had the affair.

- Have you confronted him?
- Once.

You should have seen
the look in his eyes.

He was terrified I'd figure it out.

You know what it is, don't you?

Bree, I can't discuss other patients.

I realize that.

This thing that he's hiding...
Is it bad?

Oh, OK, um... uh...

Maybe it's better that I don't know.

Bree, how does this reconciliation
have a chance

if the two of you can't be honest
about the innermost parts of your life?

We're, um... W.A.S.P. S, Dr. Goldfine.

Not acknowledging the elephant
in the room is what we do best.

You'd settle for that? A life
filled with repression and denial?

And the dinner parties.
Don't forget the dinner parties.

And, uh, over there
you got your queens and, uh...

Your Quad Spring series,
and your deluxe 1000s,

all the way to the Imperial Paradise.
[Laughs] Sweet racket, huh?

Sometimes I wake up in the morning
and I can't believe I'm the Siesta King.

Except for how I am.

Very impressive.

So, where does the photographer
want me for the shoot?

Uh, didn't your agent tell you?
There's no shoot.

Well, then what did you hire me for?

[Siesta King] You've heard
the expression "sex sells"? That's you.

You're to remind people
there's a lot of fun things they can do

on a Siesta King mattress
that don't involve slep. Get it?

It is often said that good fences
make good neighbors.
