勒內特:哦，你明白的。
Mrs. Peterson: "Can I tell you a little secret?"
彼得森夫人:我能告訴你一個小秘密嗎?
Lynette: "Sure."

Mrs. Peterson: "Dan wanted to hold the promotion over for Tim Doogan and I'm the one that convinced him to give it to Tom."
彼得森夫人:丹想要把晉升的機會留給蒂姆道根，而我說服了他把機會給湯姆。
Lynette: "Really?"
勒內特:真的?
Mrs. Peterson: "Uh-huh. Tom is such a workhorse and he wanted it so badly."
彼得森夫人:恩哼，湯姆是一個不折不扣的工作狂，他非常想得到這次機會。
Lynette: "Yeah, he certainly did."
勒內特:是啊，他的確是。

Mary Alice Voiceover:"Lynette realized it was in her best interest to lie to the boss's wife."

"Provided she wasn't too convincing."

Lynette: "Of course, I mean, I will miss him being gone all the time.

He'll be bringing in more money, but he is gonna miss the birthdays, baseball games, first steps.
他能賺回更多的錢，但他也將錯過生日慶祝，棒球比賽，嬰兒邁出的頭幾步。
That's the trade-off, right?
有得必有失，對吧?
