The video clip, for the episode that will air on March 27 2005 at 9pm on ABC, has been posted at the official Desperate Housewives website. For those with slower connections, here's a transcript:

FELICIA TILMAN AND PAUL YOUNG ARE TALKING IN THE STREET
Paul is collecting his mail, why Edie Britt listens and puts on a necklace.

Paul: So, Felicia, I heard they have a suspect in your sister's murder, Mike Delfino?
Felicia: Oh, he didn't kill her.
Paul: But they found her jewellery in his garage?
Felicia: But his fingerprints weren't on any of it.
Paul: Well that just means he wore gloves.
Felicia: So, he's smart enough to use gloves, but he leaves her bloody splattered julie lying around for anyone to find? Please. Is that what you'd do if you killed someone?

GABRIELLE AND CARLOS SOLIS ARE SITTING BY THEIR JACUZZI
Gabrielle is shaving her legs, Carlos is shaving his face.

Gabrielle: God, I have go to go to the bathroom again.
Carlos: Go to Bree's.
Gabrielle: Been to Bree's. Twice today.
Carlos: Go to Susan's.
Gabrielle: I hate Susan's, she has all these weird scented candles. Her house wreaks of
apricot. Hose.
Carlos: (Uses a garden hose to wash rinse Gabrielle's legs.) How about Lynette's?
Gabrielle: No, you don't understand. I don't want to go to anybody's house anymore. I'm tired of knocking on doors making up excuses as to why we haven't fixed our plumbing.
Carlos: Why are you yelling at me?
Gabrielle: Because it's your fault!
Carlos: My fault?
Gabrielle: Yes. If you hadn't gotten yourself indited, we'd have pipes right now.
Carlos: I got indited trying to keep you happy. If you hadn't noticed, you're a little materialistic.
Gabrielle: (Starts throwing clothes into the jacuzzi.) Oh, I'm materialistic? When the Johnsons bought their new 7 Series, you were the one who went right in and traded his car for something better.
Carlos: Who ended up driving it?
Gabrielle: You know what? I don't have time to fight right now. I have laundry to do. (She turns on the jacuzzi.)

EDIT BRITT AND SUSAN MAYER ARE DRINKING IN BAR
They have a whispered conversation as people walk nearby.

Susan: Paul and Mary Alice had a baby... that died.
Edie: You're kidding?
Susan: Zach killed her.
Edie: Holy crap, who told you that?
Susan: Paul. He said it was an accident, but I'm telling you I think that's why Mary Alice was being blackmailed.
Edie: Mary Alice was being blackmailed?
Susan: Yeah. The girls and I found a threatening note in her stuff.
Edie: (Pauses for thought.) What the hell kind of street do we live on?
