Annie Camden quotes from 7th Heaven

Annie

[to Eric] As of yesterday, Ruthie became a woman.

Annie

Simon, no more running away. We want you home with us. You scared me.

(about the kids) Why is it that they like your parents and not mine?

Annie Camden

Because my parents are better.

Eric

So you took up plumbing when we were pregnant with Simon?

Annie

No, Electrical and Plumbing was Mary, Simon was Ethnic Cooking

Annie

(to Ruthie) Do you have Daddy's shoes honey?

Eric

You know Daddy really needs his shoes so if you have them (Ruthie smiles and runs away)....I'll wear my good ones. Have you seen my keys?

Annie

On the counter.

Eric

On the counter....and uh...my wedding ring?

Annie

Bathroom sink.

Eric

Oh. Good. Now all I need to do is find the list of people that I'm supposed to visit...(Annie hands him the list) Thanks.

Annie

I don't know what you'd do without me.

Eric

(kissing her) A lot less of this.

Annie

You know what I was thinking?

Eric

That once we get Ruthie in school we can walk around naked again?

Annie

(smiling) No...

Eric

But we could. (Annie nods)

Annie

When did you start drinking wine?

Yesterday.

Eric

(to Mary) So what are you and Jeff doing tonight? (Mary stares at him) That's right I'm prying. It's my job, my duty, my life.

Mary

Oh I don't know. We really don't have any plans, we might just drop by a party or something.

Eric

Whose party?

Annie

Have we met these people?

Mary

I don't think so.

Eric

Is it just for older kids?

Mary

I don't know.

Annie

Is alcohol allowed?

Eric

Will the parents be home?

Mary

I'm not sure, it's just a party. It's not like the guy throwing it handed out his biography.

Eric

That would be autobiography and if he had you might have had a shot at going.

Mary

Dad!

Eric

Sorry kiddo, not gonna happen.

Mary

What am I supposed to tell Jeff?

Annie

The truth. That we said no.

Eric

He knows who your parents are.

Mary

Yeah, the people trying to ruin my life! Stomps off

Eric

Not only trying, but sometimes succeeding.

Jenny

(in Annie's dream) I love you Annie but I have to go now

Annie

Mom? (goes into hallway)

Charles

I'm sorry Annie, she's passed on. She's gone. (Annie sobs into Charles's chest, Eric holds her)

Eric

Alone at last!

Annie

Worth the wait!

Eric

I'm glad to hear you say that!

Ruthie

Mommy? Can we sing Grandma's song now?

Annie

Yes, sweetie. Tell you what. We'll go upstairs, we'll wash our faces, we'll get into our jammies, and I'll sing you Grandma's song.

Annie

Did Renee have her baby?

Matt

Yeah, she had a little girl.

Simon

Cool.

Matt

Oh, and get this, Mom. You'll love this. She named the baby after Grandma.

Simon

She named the baby Grandma?

Matt

Her name was Jenny, Simon.

Simon

Oh. I had no idea.

Annie

Simon, honey, we've talked about Heaven, remember? It's a place where good people go where they're surrounded by so much love.

Simon

Yeah, but I need to know where that is, Mom.

Annie

Oh. Well, it's...it's up there.

Simon

I was hoping you'd be a little more specific than that.

Where's your father? He's all right, isn't he?

Annie

Oh...um...yes, he is, he just...ah...

Simon

Don't worry, he's not dead, he just went back to Phoenix!

Ruthie

Mommy, are you always going to be here?

Annie

What do you mean?

Ruthie

Are you going to pass away like Grandma?

Annie

Someday I will. But not for a very long time, so you shouldn't worry, OK?

Ruthie

OK.

Annie

And I can promise you this. As long as I am here, no matter how old you get, you will always be able to count on me. I will always be there for you no matter what.

Charles

(walks in) Annie?

Annie

Daddy!

Charles

Oh Annie, I wish I had lived up to that same promise you just made to Ruthie.

Annie

We can help each other get through this.

Mary

You know Mom? Sometimes when I'm really mad at Daddy...too mad to see him or talk to him...he gets right in my face and makes me tell him what's wrong! It drives me nuts but I feel better after.

Annie

Mary, I would appreciate it if you wouldn't act so mature while I'm trying desperately to feel sorry for myself.
