Bree: Rex, this was practically assault.

Rex: Mrs. Stark, what Andrew did was clearly wrong, but in his defense, his mother and I are going through severe marital problems.

Bree: Is that relevant?

Rex: Our marriage is disintegrating. Of course Andrew is acting out. He has every right to be angry.

Bree: If Andrew is angry about you moving out of the house, then perhaps he should shove your head into a locker!

Rex: All I'm saying, is that we need to take some of the responsibility here.

Bree: So does Andrew! Blaming his actions on our problems... which are not so serious... does not help him.

Rex: Our problems are serious!

Bree: Mrs. Stark, you handle this however you see fit.

Rex: Bree, I've gone to an attorney. You're gonna to be served with divorce papers later today. Bree: You went to an attorney?

Rex: Yeah! And a good one too!

Bree: Well he better be good, because when I'm finished with you, you won't have a cent to your name!

Rex: Bring it on!

Principal Stark: Perhaps detention is the way to go.
