Edie (to workmen as they leave): Thanks.
Lynette: Edie, hi.
Edie: Hi.
Lynette: Wow, things are really coming along.
一切進展得不錯啊。
Edie: Yeah, slowly and expensively.

Lynette: It'll be worth it. You're doing an amazing job.
這一切都是值得的。你做得很棒。
Lynette:So look, you're basically a predator and I need your advice.

Lynette: And I know Tom loves me, but I don't trust this woman. I think there's an agenda there. I don't know, maybe I'm being paranoid.
我知道湯姆愛我，但我不信任這個女的。我覺得這背後一定暗藏詭計。我也不知道，也許是我想多了。
agenda [ə'dʒɛndə]
n. 議事日程;待議諸事項一覽表;日常工作事項;議程
agenda 議事日程怎麼就成詭計了呢？
女主認為丈夫的前女友準備搶走他老公，認為對方把搶別人老公的一切都排上日程了（正常的事情叫日程安排，圖謀不軌可不就是陰謀詭計了嘛），所以用意譯：這背後一定有陰謀詭計。
美國有一部影片：絕命陷阱 Hidden Agenda（背後隱藏的意圖）

（字面是：對自己的朋友要接近了解，而對敵人要更加接近深入瞭解。）
