Orson: Ah, he's cleaning up a little mess. Someone didn't know you couldn't serve bacon-wrapped shrimp puffs at a barmitzvah.
Bree: I knew. I just thought if they'd tasted mine, they might change the rules.
Jim: So would you like something to nibble on before dinner?
Orson: Is that cut crystal? It's exquisite.
Jim: Andrew again. He's got expensive taste. Thank god he brings in the big bucks.
Orson: He does?
Jim: Well, he does now, ever since you gave him that raise.
Bree: This is a delicious snack. Did you make this?
Jim: Uh, yeah. It's just...party mix.
Orson: You gave Andrew a raise? A tiny salary bump.
Jim: "Tiny" is not the word for your extraordinary generosity.
Bree: Oh, look! There's pretzels and cereal. I can see why they call it "party mix." It's like a party in a bowl.
Orson: When you say "extraordinary"
Bree: He's exaggerating. They're children. It just looks like a lot of money to them.
Orson: My god! Is this a... '96 Latour?
Jim: I know. Andrew bought a case of it at a wine auction to celebrate that huge raise. Once you've had a few glasses of this, you're not going to remember this evening at all.
Orson: We'll see.
Gabrielle: Boy, dinner without the kids...It's nice to eat without having macaroni thrown at you.
Maria: Well, we, uh, we really wanted to find a way to thank you both.
Carlos: Thank us for what?
Maria: Saving our marriage.
Gabrielle: Please. It was our pleasure. How did we do that again?
Maria: Well, Bradley had been working around the clock, and I was feeling neglected. But things are different now that he has Carlos. We have never felt closer.
Bradley: And, Gaby, I know I've been relying on Carlos a lot. I- I hope it's not a problem, his being away from home so much.
Gabrielle: Oh, I'll be more willing to forgive once his bonus check comes in.
Carlos: And the only person more excited than Gaby about that bonus is her jeweler.
Maria: Brad, don't. It's been such a nice night.
Bradley: He's gonna hear it tomorrow anyway.
Carlos: Hear what?
Bradley: Look, I'm sorry, but we're forgoing bonuses this year.
Waiter: Can I get anyone dessert?
Gabrielle: Beat it. What?
Bradley: It's the economy. Um, our C.F.O. feels we need to do some belt tightening.
