Bree: Oh! thanks, dear.
Andrew Van De Kamp: With you... What are you doing?
Bree: Oh, I'm trying to stay out of the way of all the sparks that are flying...
Andrew Van De Kamp: Sparks? The man is twice my age.

Andrew Van De Kamp: Fine, for you I'll flirt, I'll flatter and I'll charm.

Bree: Fine. And if you can get him to come on time and under budget, I'll throw in surround sound.
