Felicity Huffman: Lynette Scavo

Quotes 

• Bree Van De Kamp : God, I couldn't wait to get rid of them! So, Lynette said that you found Zack.

  Susan Mayer : He's at a rehabilitation center. Julie snuck in and actually talked to him.

  Lynette Scavo : Did he say anything about his mother's suicide?

  Susan Mayer : There wasn't enough time. He did say one thing that was kind of mysterious. He said something happened to someone named Dana, and that he could never ever talk about it.

  Gabrielle Solis : Who the hell's Dana?

  Lynette Scavo : That's the mystery part.

  Susan Mayer : I figure Dana has something to do with what Mary Alice was trying to hide.

  Lynette Scavo : So somebody found out Mary Alice's secret...

  Bree Van De Kamp : ...and sent the note.

  Gabrielle Solis : So who the hell is that?

• Tom Scavo : Wow, honey, look, this place looks spotless!

  Lynette Scavo : Thanks.

  Tom Scavo : Listen, I have come up with this killer idea for the Spotless Scrub campaign.

  Lynette Scavo : Great! You wanna run it by me?

  Tom Scavo : No. I'm good. But, thanks.

  Lynette Scavo : Okay.

  Tom Scavo : Well, that's the thing. You know how whenever I pitch in the boardroom at work, how Kennesey always tears my ideas down in front of the partners?

  Lynette Scavo : Yeah?

  Tom Scavo : I invited the partners and their wives over so I could pitch to them here. And I thought we could make a formal dinner for six. We could sit, we could...

  Lynette Scavo : And when exactly would this formal dinner take place?

  Tom Scavo : Uh... day after tomorrow!

  Lynette Scavo : Tom!

  Tom Scavo : Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know I know it's short notice.

  Lynette Scavo : You think? How am I supposed to pull off a formal dinner with no warning?

  Tom Scavo : I don't know. Bree Van de Kamp does this kind of thing all the time...

• Lynette Scavo : What did you say?

  Tom Scavo : Well, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. That's - you know what, forget it. I'll call and I'll cancel. Don't worry about it.

  Lynette Scavo : No, no. Let's, let's do it.

  Tom Scavo : Really?

  Lynette Scavo : Yeah, it's good for your career. I'll pull it off.

• Lynette Scavo : Hey, Jordana!

  Jordana Geist : Hey Lynette, how are you? You look a little tired. Is everything okay?

  Lynette Scavo : Actually, I'm getting ready for a dinner party tomorrow night. Six people.

  Jordana Geist : Sounds fun.

  Lynette Scavo : Big fun. Say, you wouldn't have any of your kids ADD medication that you could spare just to get me over the hump?

  Jordana Geist : Tina! Don't push your sister. Gosh Lynette, I'm really running low. I need all my energy I can get. My sister, Elaine, and her kids are flying in town for a week.

  Lynette Scavo : Yeah, that's exciting. I wish my sister would visit more often.

  Jordana Geist : Yeah, sisters are great.

  Lynette Scavo : Yeah. Just three or four pills, I'm really hitting a wall here.

  Jordana Geist : Yeah, the come down can be a real bitch. I wish I could help.

  Lynette Scavo : I'm not going to forget about this, Jordana.

  Jordana Geist : What's that supposed to mean?

  Lynette Scavo : It means come Girl Scout Cookie time, don't bother bringing little Tina, because we won't be home!
