(Elise to her plastic surgeaon)

Do it Morris, do it to me now, I need it. You're the only one who does it the way I like it. You're the king.

Morris

Elise, if I give you any more collagen you're lips are going to look like they got stuck in a pool drain

Aaron

I want a divorce

(shocked)

BUT WE JUST MADE LOVE. I mean you asked me out. (Starts crying)

Aaron

I asked you out to tell you, you know one last time, a goodbye kiss.

But this wasn't just a kiss.

Aaron

Annie don't be childish, you know how you manipulate me.

What, manipulate, i.. i..(Realises what's going on). Oh my god, is there someone else.

Aaron

No no, Annie was just leaving

Leslie

You told her?

Aaron

I was totally upfront

What? Excuse me.

Leslie

Annie, this is rough, i know that

ROUGH! Wait a minute, I don't understand. You are my therapist...

Leslie

I'm a woman

...he is my husband, oh.

Aaron

Annie, we've been separated for months. Now let's not over-dramatise.

Leslie

Aaron, she's aloud to be angry. Annie, let's use this; he's found somone new; you're free; closure.

I am sorry, but that is not what this is, no.

Leslie

Annie no, Annie you're not helping s out here, now i am sorry...

Brenda
(gasps loudly)

What?

Brenda

He brought her to our son's bar mitzvah?

Is she a gift?

Uncle Carmine

Permission to speak freely, Brenda?

Brenda

Oh yea, Annie's cool.

Uncle Carmine

Morty is garbage. You gave him the best years of your life, and he pushes you aside for a younger model. It would be an honor for us to take him out.

Brenda

OK Elise, the time has come, spill. Those lips, what's in 'em. Are they wax?

Excuse me?

Brenda

What else did you have done? Come on Elise you can tell me. The cheek one, the jaw line. Did you have a little bit, or the full enchilada!

I work out every day. I watch my diet. I have not had plastic surgery.

Well good for you, you look terrific.

Brenda

Oh come on. Elise your lying through your caps.

Ok. All right, I have been freshened up a little.

(Puts down wine glass)

Oh god, does it hurt.

(drinking)

Mmmm, no.

Brenda

What do they do with the stuff they take off? Do you get to keep it?

Oh come on Brenda, it's the nineties for god's sake. (Picks up cigarette and lights it) I mean it's like... Plastic surgery is like good grooming, it's like brushing your teeth.

You're a doormat.

Why are you so crabby today honey, is it school? I know what it is; it's a boy.

I'm a lesbian mom. I'm a lesbian, but that's not the point.

Well sweetie, when you say lesbian...

And don't tell daddy, I want to tell him myself when the time is right. Like Father's day or Christmas morning.

Catherine

Annie? Thank God you're all right. Where were you? Who saw you?

Who saw me what?

She was sleeping with daddy.

Catherine

Oh muffin dear you've come to your senses i'm so happy.

Mother, i am not sleeping with Aaron. He's just having some problems with his partners. He's feeling very conflicted and he needed somebody to talk to.

Doormat!

Lesbian!

Dr. Morris Packman

If I give you one more face lift, you're going to be able to blink your lips!

Ivana? I wanna thank you for coming so much, you're an angel!

Ivana Trump

Oh, of course.

Thank you so much, again.

Ivana

Ladies, you have to be strong and independent. And remember...

What?

Ivana

Don't get mad... get everything.

You think just because I'm a movie star, I don't have feelings, well, you're wrong! I do have feelings! I'm an actress! I have ALL of them!

Brenda
(putting on a meek voice)

Well, I wouldn't understand. You see I'm just a poor little housewife, in a little apron, with a little child to raise!

Yeah, well, you were always jealous of me, even in college, because I was blonde and beautiful and talented, and I could have any guy I wanted!

(faintly in the background)

Um, you guys...

Brenda

And did! Every guy! Most of the senior class and half the faculty!

Well! It was the Sixties!

Brenda
(scornful)

Look at this place! Is this where your fanclub meets? Do you have ritual sacrifices?!

Put that down! Put that down! I won that!

Brenda

I remember! Your first talkie!

Yeah, what did you ever win? A pie eating contest? Best Digestion?! (she screams as Brenda throws the statuette) Oh no... Brenda, this is a Golden Globe! It's sacred! It's... TRADEMARKED!! (Elise throws the statue at Brenda and smashes the wall mirror)

Brenda
(frightened, she barks)

"Are you CRAZY!?"

You wouldn't understand, you're civilians!

Brenda

That's it. (infuriated) I understand. (she grabs the bottle from Elise)

Hey... give that back...

Brenda

I'm saying this to you with love, compassion and the spirit of true sisterhood: you are full of SHIT!

What?

Brenda
(pouring the alcohol down the sink)

So okay, alimony sucks! Okay, you didn't get to play a policewoman in a Wonder bra! But look at you! You grew up gorgeous, and thanks to Cher's pioneering efforts, you still haven't hit puberty! And once upon a time, you were a great actress, you've even got an Oscar to prove it! You've spent your whole life with people sucking up to you, but I'm sure Annie will agree with me when I say your perception of life is somewhat altered!

You've got some nerve! I drink because I am a sensitive and highly strung person!

Brenda

No, that's why your co-stars drink!

I am not a DRUNK!

Brenda

Oh really? Let's examine the evidence! Look! All bottles! And gallon jugs!

I had GUESTS.

Brenda

Who, Guns N' Roses?!

Gunilla
(sees Shelley and Morty entering her building)

Social climbers on the rise.

Morris

You're 45! If I give you one more facelift you're going to be able to blink your lips. I mean don't you want to be able to play a part your own age?

My own age? No no. You don't understand. There are only three ages for women in Hollywood. Babe, District Attorney, and Driving Ms Daisy. And right now, I want to be young, science-fiction young

Wives
[singing]

You don't own me... don't try to change me in any way. You don't own me... don't tie me down cause I'll never stay!
