Annie Camden quotes from 7th Heaven

Matt

What's going on?

Annie

Well, dinner's almost ready, the trash needs to go out, and your brother is shrinking.

Annie

So what did the doctor say?

Matt

Well, Simon's not the same height he was this time last year.

Simon

I'm and inch taller and I'm broader around the chest, but I'm not surprised. I work out.

Annie

[sarcastically] Oh, yeah.

Lucy

Mom...

Annie

I'm still a little angry.

Lucy

I know, but why? All I was trying to do was express my unique personality, a personality which, I might add, I'm not allowed to express at home.

Annie

First of all, it didn't appear to me that you were expressing any unique personality at all, because you and your friends were expressing the exact same unique personality! So maybe you should look up what the word "unique" means, because judging from what I've seen, it's not very clear to you!

My friends are there for me. They make me strong. They protect me.

Annie

Oh, really? The same friends who will beat you and rape you so you can get into a group where you can mule drugs and do drive bys and be available to sex on demand?

You are so out there! My friends would never betray me.

Annie

Well, it's good you're that strong because this is going to take all the strength you have.

Ruthie

No drawing on the walls, or the tables, or furniture, or anywhere but paper.

Annie

That's right. So why break the rules if you know the rules?

Ruthie

I don't know. I just got bored, I guess.

Annie

I think it's plenty fair.

Ruthie

I hate you!

Mary

[to her parents] Matt paid Brian $20 for him to go out with me! [to Matt] I can't believe you!

Annie

Like I said...

Matt

Yeah, yeah it'll blow up in my face.

Annie

Simon, you're going to have to tell Ruthie that despite your teaching, she's still going to have to take swim lessons.

Simon

Why me?

Annie

Because you're the one who let her believe that she could learn how to swim by splashing around in a bathtub!

Simon

But it will break her heart. Her teeny-tiny heart.

Annie

Whose fault is that?

Eric

It's just that I always thought we'd be buried in upstate New York in the Camden family graveyard on the Colonel's property. Camden's have been buried there for hundreds of years.

Annie

A hundred years!

Eric

It's just a hole in the ground, so what difference does it make anyway, right?

Annie

Right, unless by that you don't want to be in the ground next to my mother and father.

Annie

[angry because the store owner won't let her return a poor quality sweater without a receipt] I'm just trying to return a sweater.

You're just trying to create a disturbance.

Annie

A disturbance? You want a disturbance? I'll give you a disturbance! What ever happened to common decency? What ever happened to service and a simple thank you for shopping here? What ever happened to the store standing behind the merchandise that it sells? What ever happened to truth, justice, and the American store taking returns?

I'll tell you what happened. People started shoplifting and then returning things for cash, or buying things, wearing them, and returning them for no reason! Profits started coming down, and insurance rates started going up, so shop owners had to start looking for merchandise with a higher mark-up. What do you want from a twelve dollar sweater? What ever happened to "You get what you pay for"? If the manufacturer doesn't stand up for the merchandise, then why should I get stuck? I've got kids to feed too, you know! That's what happened to this American store taking returns!

Annie

What do you want to tell me that you're not telling me?

Eric

Nothing. Oh, I did speak to Morgan last night. He was thinking that maybe instead of the whole family outing thing that you and Patricia could take the kids and let us have a guys' night out. Just the two of us, just hard-working minister guys just getting away from it all, shooting a little pool.

Annie

What are you two really up to?

Eric

Such a suspicious mind for such a pretty lady.

Annie

Flattery. Nice choice.

Eric

Thank you.

If I saw one of my daughters in a theatre making out like these two, I send her to a convent.

Annie

I mean, this is a kid's movie for goodness sake.

Annie

Ah, ah, you can run, but you can't hide.

Lucy

I'll take hiding for now. But you know, Mom, technically aside from making out, I really didn't do anything wrong.

Mary

[rushes in and turns off the music] You guys are bothering Lucy.

Matt

So?

Mary

So? What's wrong with you? Her friend died.

Matt

Yeah, I know.

Simon

[to Matt] Are you still mad at her?

Mary

[to Simon] What are you talking about? [Matt stares at Mary] Get out.

Simon

This is my room now. You can't tell me to get out. [Mary gives Simon a sincere stare. Simon then exits the room]

Mary

You're mad at Lucy? Mad about what?

Matt

I think she was going to run off with those girls. They weren't going to get a pizza.

Mary

You don't know that.

Matt

Yeah, I do. It was written all over her face when I dropped her off, but I didn't press her on it. She was trying to trick me. How do you think I would have felt if she had been in that car? She could have been killed, too!

Lucy

[walks in crying] You think I don't know that? You think I don't know that if they hadn't been on their way to pick me up, Sarah would still be alive and she wouldn't have died?

Matt

Sarah died because she was driving the car and the kid ran out in front of her!

Lucy

I know that! And that's my fault too; it's all my fault!

Mary

Luc, don't!

Lucy

Stay away from me!

Annie

[rushing in with Eric] What's going on?

Lucy

I knew that Jen let Sarah drive the car and I didn't tell anyone. It's my fault I didn't tell anyone.

Eric

[whispering] Lucy.

Lucy

If I had told someone, she might still be alive. If I hadn't told them to pick me up, she might still be alive.

Annie

Luc, no. Don't blame yourself―

Lucy

[pushes Annie away] No! Leave me alone!

Annie

We can't! We can't leave you alone! This is not your fault! It's not your fault!

Lucy

It is my fault! It's all my fault! Nothing will ever be the same again! Nothing! [Annie attempts to hug Lucy, but Lucy again pushes her away and then kneels to the ground and begins crying]

Annie

Luce, the accident.

Lucy

It wasn't them. Tell me it wasn't them Mom, please?!

Annie

I'm sorry. Sarah was killed Luce, and Jen's in the hospital in serious condition! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Oh, I'm just glad it wasn't you! [they both begin to cry]
