151 -- vultures, pretending to care, when all they really want are the sordid details. 152 I don't know. I think they just want to show their support. 153 Please. Human beings feed on misery. 154 Well, we might as well give the people what they want. 155 Hello. 156 I want to thank you all for coming out here and expressing your genuine sorrow and disbelief. 157 My sister Martha would have been so touched. 158 I know that many of you have questions. 159 I've just spoken with the police, who are still putting together the details of what happened. 160 What they do know is Martha died a violent death. 161 Oh. 162 Yes, I know. 163 It's hard to hear. 164 Apparently, there was a struggle. 165 They found scratching and bruising on her body, several broken bones, and traces of dirt in her lungs... 166 which leads us to believe that she was still alive at the time of her burial, and probably in great pain. 167 But the good news is there are no signs that she had been molested. 168 Now I think it's time that you return to your homes, to your loved ones. 169 Oh, in lieu of a memorial service, I'll be holding an estate sale day after tomorrow. 170 Please -- no personal checks. 171 By the next morning, everyone on Wisteria Lane was aware of Martha Huber's demise... 172 - Hey, guys, check out my dead woman. - With no exceptions. 173 - Okay, boys. - Hey, mom. 174 You see this gum? 175 If you promise to be quiet while I am downstairs playing cards, it's all yours. Deal? 176 - Yeah. - Deal. 177 Yeah, okay. That's what I like to hear. All right, good. 178 I mean, what are the odds? First Mary Alice, and then Mrs. Huber? 179 I mean, it's shocking. 180 Yeah, but this is different. Someone was actually murdered on our street. 181 I remember talking to her right before she disappeared. 182 You did? What'd you talk about? 183 Oh, actually, she yelled at me for not bringing my garbage cans in. 184 I'm going to miss her. 185 Edie. 186 Hi. 187 Hi. 188 Come on in. 189 Oh, you're all here. 190 Yeah, tuesday is poker day. 191 Really? Oh, you know, I love poker. 192 Okay, then. 193 Well, here's the deal. 194 Since the ice queen isn't doing anything to memorialize her sister, 195 I have decided to carry Martha's ashes up to torch lake and scatter them myself. 196 It's where her husband proposed. 197 That's so sweet. 198 I know. 199 So I thought that some of the neighbors could caravan up there, 200 and we'd have a little ceremony. |
