Annie Camden quotes from 7th Heaven

Annie

[about George] So you want him?

Eric

I don't know. We did always say we'd adopt after Mary.

Annie

Then after Lucy.

Eric

Then after Simon.

Annie

And now it's after Ruthie.

Eric

We'd be crazy to even consider it, I guess. Right?

Annie

We are crazy. We'll talk to the kids and George tomorrow.

Annie

That was Patricia. She and Morgan were wondering if we'd like to drive up to Stedmond Caves tonight and go camping!

Yes!

Annie

No. No. Just me and your dad.

Eric

And what, we'll put the kids in a kennel?

Annie

No. They can stay here with the Hamilton kids.

Eric

And who's gonna babysit?

Matt

Not me.

Eric

No, of course not. Who would keep an eye on you?

Matt

I'm 17.

Eric

Exactly.

Annie

Hey, you know, don't stay up too late and um... don't eat too much junk food and have a good time!

Matt

How are they gonna have a good time if they can't eat junk food and can't stay up late?

Ruthie

Mommy, do we have to give the puppies away?

Annie

Yes, honey it's time. And they have a good home to go to.

Ruthie

We have a good home too.

Annie

Yes, but I think they starting to get so big that they are getting in Happy's way.

Ruthie

I get in your way, and you still keep me around.

Annie

Ah. It's not the same, sweetheart. It would be like you living here when you are 30.

Ruthie

I have to live somewhere else when I'm 30?

Annie

You'll probably want to live somewhere else when you're 30.

Ruthie

Yeah! Maybe even when I'm 7 or maybe 8.

Annie

I hate to interrupt this seminar, but one of us has a very big day tomorrow.

Simon

No kidding! My day is completely booked. School, lunch, recess, more school, Happy, and then homework. Where does the time go?

Annie

I have no idea, Simon.

Annie

[to Ruthie] What's the matter, honey? Not too hungry today, huh?

Simon

Opening day jitters, Mom. [to Ruthie] Listen, eat something light. A little toast, maybe. Throwing up at school is just as bad as crying.

Eric

Simon.

Simon

What? I'm just giving Ruthie the benefit of my experience. I mean, come on, let's face it. It has been a while since you or Mom were at school.

Annie

Honey, it's gonna be okay. You know the teacher, and she's really, really nice, and you're gonna make lots of friends.

Ruthie

Fine. I just don't like this cereal.

Annie

[to Ruthie] Honey, I thought you liked going to school.

Ruthie

I like peanut butter, but I don't want it every day. If I had known pre-kindergarten was every day, I would never have signed up for it. This is all your fault!

Annie

Ruthie Camden! Where did you learn to do something like that?

Ruthie

School, and I'm never going back, ever!

Ruthie

How about a little tiny goldfish? They won't be no trouble.

Annie

Any.

Ruthie

Any what?

Annie

A goldfish won't be any trouble.

Ruthie

I know. So can I have one?

Eric

Honey, I think you need to sit down now and try to relax.

Annie

Bite me!

Eric

Bite me?!?

Ruthie

The old lady that left this house to the church died in this attic. Matt told me.

Annie

The lady that left the house to the church died in Florida in a senior home.

Ruthie

Can I wear a tuxedo too?

Annie

I'll think about it

Ruthie

What's a tuxedo?

Sergeant Michaels

[to Eric] Hey, Reverend.

Eric

Hey, Sergeant.

Sergeant Michaels

Your kids' school have been trying to reach you. I guess your beeper's off.

Eric

[looks for his beeper in his pockets] I don't even have my beeper.

Annie

Which school? Which kid?

Sergeant Michaels

All three schools, all five kids.

Eric

[about the joint he found in the house] I just.... I know it's Matt's.

Annie

If it isn't, and if you accuse Matt of something this serious, who knows what will happen. I don't think your relationship with Matt can afford to withstand any false accusations.

Annie

If you're doing drugs, Matt, I want you to stop. If anything ever happened to you, I would never forgive myself.

Matt

Sounds like I'm already guilty.

Eric

I can't believe you told Matt you did drugs.

Annie

I thought it might be useful! I thought you understood I was going to tell him!

Eric

I was never under that impression. We don't have to share everything with our kids! We don't share our sex lives with them!

Annie

I'm sorry! I thought maybe Matt wouldn't feel so far away from us if I told him! I had no idea he would throw it back in my face.

Eric

Well, that was another issue entirely. He shouldn't have done that.

Annie

Oh, I didn't think it would turn out this way. [starts crying] I'm just so disappointed.
