《绝望的主妇》精讲17

[00:00.50]- Susan. - Hi, Mike.

[00:03.38]I brought you a little housewarming gift.

[00:05.88]I probably should have brought something by earlier, but...

[00:08.51]actually, you're the first in the neighborhood to stop by.

[00:11.10]Really?

[00:12.10]Susan knews he was lucky.

[00:13.81]An eligible¹ bachelor had moved onto wisteria lane,

[00:16.81]and she was the first to find out,

[00:18.98]but she also knew that good news...

[00:22.28]Travels quickly.

[00:23.99]Edie Britt was the most predatory divorcee in a 5-block radius².

[00:29.28]Her conquests were numerous...

[00:33.91]varied...

[00:38.08]and legendary³.

[00:41.88]Hi, Susan. I hope I'm not interrupting.

[00:46.38]You must be Mike Delfino. Hi, I'm Edie. Britt.

[00:50.39]I live over there.

[00:52.39]Welcome to Wisteria lane.

[00:55.31]Susan had met the enemy, and she was a slut.

[00:59.10]Thank you. Ha ha. What's this?

[01:01.19]Sausage putanesca. It's just something I threw together.

[01:05.69]Well, thanks, Edie. Ha ha. That's great.

[01:10.12]I'd invite you both in, but I was sort of in the middle of something.

[01:15.41]And just like that, the race for Mike Delfino had begun.

[01:20.21]For a moment, Susan wondered if her rivalry⁴ with Edie would remain friendly.

[01:26.30]Oh, Mike. I heard you're a plumber⁵?

[01:28.68]But she was reminded that when it came to men...

[01:31.51]do you think you could stop by later tonight and take a look at my pipes?

[01:35.01]- Women don't fight fair. - Sure.

[01:37.39]Thanks.
