Mary Alice :
Martha Huber waited her whole life for something to
happen to her, something exciting. As a child, she hoped
to be kidnapped by a band of pirates. As a teenager, she
dreamt of being discovered by a Hollywood talent scout. As a
young woman, she fantasized that a handsome millionaire
would sweep her off
her feet. But the years had flown by, and
still, nothing exciting had ever happened to Martha
Huber. Until the night she was murdered.
Paul : Hello, Mrs. Huber.
Martha : Paul!
Paul : Let me give you a hand.
Martha : That's really not necessary.
Paul : I insist.
Mary Alice : In those last moments, it occurred to
her, in addition to being boring, life could also be
very cruel. Luckily for Mrs. Huber, death was far more
merciful.
Officer Jackson : What do you think?
Police chief : That's our missing woman, all right.
Police chief : Aw, geez,
it didn't take the media long to get wind of this.
Make sure no one contaminates my crime scene.
Officer Jackson : Hey, little lady. A lot of people
are looking for you, you know that? Your face is gonna
be on the front page of every paper in this state. How's
that for exciting?
Mary Alice : Officer Jackson couldn't be sure, but for
a brief moment, he thought he saw the corpse of Martha
Huber, smile.
Mary Alice : Word of the tragedy would soon spread
throughout the neighborhood. But for now, people went
about their lives as they always did, blissfully
unaware.
Susan : Hello, anybody home?
Mike's voice : In the kitchen.
Susan : Good news. I finished my book, so I thought to
celebrate, you could take me out to lunch.
Edie : Hey, Susan.
Mike : Uh, could we do a rain check
? Edie and I are just
looking over the plans to rebuild her house.
Edie : My insurance company is finally cutting my check
next week, and there's only one plumber I want. So don't
expect to see this guy for a few months. I'm gonna be
riding him hard.
Susan : Well, if anyone can go the distance,
he can. I should know.
Edie : Uh, Mike? Mike? We're on the clock . Hey
Felicia, what's up?
Mike : Edie?
Edie : They found Martha.
