151
-- vultures, pretending to care,
when all they really want are the sordid1 details.

152
I don't know. I think they just want to show their support.

153
Please. Human beings feed on misery2.

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 bruising3 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 molested4.

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 demise5...

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 odds6?
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 poker7 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 decided8 to carry Martha's ashes up
to torch lake and scatter9 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 caravan10 up there,

200
and we'd have a little ceremony.
