| With its first season coming to a close, it's still tough to decide whether "Desperate Housewives" should be labeled a comedy or a drama. Most fans, however, can agree on one thing: Bree (Marcia Cross) drops more hilarious one-liners in a single episode than the average network sitcom does in a whole year. Add in a steady stream of sound bites from Gabrielle, Lynette, and Susan, and it's easy to see why ABC's Sunday-night soap is so thoroughly addictive. If you're worried about experiencing "Desperate" withdrawal symptoms in the coming summer months, fret not. Our list of season one's 10 best "Housewives" zingers can be your not-so-secret fix.

I am going to find the most vindictive lawyer I can find. And together, we will eviscerate you. I will take away your money, your family, and your dignity. And I am thrilled you still love me. Because I want what's going to happen to you to hurt as much as humanly possible.
