Eva Longoria: Gabrielle Solis

Quotes 

• Gabrielle Solis : [Gabrielle and Carlos are in bed; Gabrielle rubs lotion on her hands while Carlos reads a book]  I'm so lucky to have you.

  Carlos Solis : Huh. Okay, I'll bite.

  [Puts book down on nightstand as Gabrielle moves closer] 

  Carlos Solis : Why are you so lucky?

  Gabrielle Solis : Because... I don't want to have kids and you do.

  Carlos Solis : Oh, that.

  Gabrielle Solis : Most men would leave over something like that. And you're still here.

  [Caresses his chest] 

  Gabrielle Solis : I'm grateful. I know the sacrifice you're making.

  Carlos Solis : There's still a little part of me that's hoping you'll change your mind. Once you had a baby I think that you would love it so much that you...

  Gabrielle Solis : [Interrupts him]  Honey, it's not going to happen.

  Carlos Solis : You never know.

  Gabrielle Solis : No, sometimes you do.

  Carlos Solis : Well, it is a sacrifice.

  [Gently strokes her arm] 

  Carlos Solis : But you're worth it.

  [Gabrielle leans over and starts kissing him] 

  Mary Alice Young : [Split-screen: Gabrielle and Carlos having sex and Carlos replacing Gabrielle's birth control pills with fakes] 

  [V.O] 

  Mary Alice Young : Yes, Gabrielle Solis knew without a doubt that she didn't want to be a mother. But what she couldn't know was just how much her husband wanted to be a father. Or that he'd been tampering with her birth control for months. Or that within one weeks time, she'd be pregnant.
