Lynette: "Claire? I've always loved that name. So Claire..."( She laughs.) "Do you come here often?"

…………

Lynette: "So your boss made you return her underwear?" 
Claire: "Yep. After she had already worn 'em once."

Lynette: "Couldn't you have just said no?" 
Claire: "You don't say no to Alexis. If you want to keep your job." 
Lynette: "She sounds awful."

Claire: "What can I do? I love the kids." 

Lynette: "Well, if we had a nanny like you at my house, we would treat her like gold. Did I mention I have four very loveable kids?" 

Claire: "Really." 

Lynette: "Oh, yes."

[Mrs. Greenberg's House]
(Susan rings the doorbell of Mrs. Greenberg's house, holding a package of eggs.) 
Mrs. Greenberg: "Susan. Long time, no see." 
Susan: "Mrs. Greenberg. Do you remember those two eggs I let you borrow last Christmas?I need those back.
Mrs. Greenberg: "Well gosh, honey, I'm fresh out, but if you want, I could run to the store."

Susan: "Oh, forget about it, it's not that important, but since I'm here, do you still have that old hatchback sitting in your garage? Can I borrow it tomorrow?"

Mrs. Greenberg: "You want to borrow my car?" 
Susan: "Just for a couple of hours." 
Mrs. Greenberg: "Well, I'm not sure. Do you know how to drive a stick?"

Susan: "Yes, I think so. I learned in college. It's like riding a bike, right?" 
Mrs. Greenberg: "I'm not sure, dear." 
Susan: "It's not big deal. It's just for a couple of hours. I let you borrow my eggs for a whole year."
