Annie Camden quotes from 7th Heaven

Annie

How's Jen doing? Any word?

Eric

I just got off the phone with her parents; she's still in the hospital. Her leg's going to be okay. But she's got a heavy burden to carry, and... and unfortunately, it could take years to develop the strength for it. Having to be there for Jen is what's keeping the parents going. They're just so grateful they didn't lose her too- What, Annie?

Annie

I just keep thinking that Lucy could have been in that car, too.

Eric

It'll take awhile.

Annie

I know. But I'm glad that she has awhile to take.

Annie

You invited a guest to stay in our house without even consulting me?

Eric

...I just thought it would be a great cultural experience for the kids, for all of us.

Annie

Well so's a museum, but unfortunately we don't have room for one in our house!

Annie

Everything will be okay.

I used to say that about my son. But it never was. It never was.

Ruthie

Why didn't you tell me Snappy was real!? What's next, Santa Claus? How many years have you been lying to me? Am I really 6!?

Annie

You went backstage.

Ruthie

And you know what else? I don't believe in God either.

Mary

Is there something wrong with me?

Annie

Not exactly. You're... you're... I can't.

Eric

There is just no easy way to say this Mary, it seems that you're pregnant.

Mary

I don't think so.

Annie

Why, because your birth controls infailable?!

Mary

Yeah, it's called not having sex, it works 100% of the time; and hey, if I'm lying we'll all know in a couple of months now, won't we?

Annie

I have something to tell you. We're going to have a baby. A baby... we're having one. You can't get any closer and we're still having a baby. Uh-huh... you and me together. Wacky Dr. Peterson got the tests mixed up.

Eric

WHAT!?

Matt

[upon finding out Annie's pregnant] You didn't do this just to get me to stay home and go to school, did you?

No.

Matt

Well, you can't get me out of here now, things are just starting to get good.

Matt

I just want to know if Mom is feeling any better?

Eric

She can't fit into her pants, she's not gonna be happy until she can. Meanwhile, I have to find some place to take her for our 20th anniversary that's appropriately romantic, yet doesn't remind her that I'm the one that got her too big to fit in her pants. I've been down this road five times and it's a long cranky road.

Matt

I remember when you put on a few pounds you were cranky too.

Eric

Yeah, but that was different. I wasn't providing a nurturing environment for a developing human being. And I have to say if I were... I think I be thrilled. I'd be elated... I'd be...

Annie

...Miserable. You know, you think you know what it's like, but you don't, you really don't. You know nothing.

Eric

Nothing.

Annie

How is that I'm the one who has to watch every single morsel of food that I put into my mouth, and yet those crumbs turn into pounds and more pounds and more pounds, despite the fact that I've already puked most of what I've eaten the day before by the time I get out of bed the next morning?

Ruthie

Yeah, we're fat and we're sick.

Annie

And tired you know I'm really, really tired. It's not like having a baby at twenty or thirty, I'm….

Ruthie

Old.

Annie

And I've got six months to go. Six more months. Six months of trying to wear clothes that make me look...

Eric

Like you're having a baby. Our baby.

Ruthie

Yeah, our big fat baby.

Annie

Yeah, she's right. You know that I was seven months pregnant with Matt before I was in maternity clothes. And now, at three months look at me, I'm fat. I'm old. I'm tired. And I'm fat.

Ruthie

Yeah, I can't get in nothing of mine, neither.

Eric

You can't get into anything Ruthie, you don't fit into your clothes because you're getting bigger and that's because you're getting older.

Ruthie

Yeah, just like Mommy.

Eric

It's going to be okay.

Annie

It's not gonna be okay! It's only gonna get worse. I'm only gonna get fatter, and older, and tireder, and fatter! Then, when I'm at my oldest and tiredest and fattest, then I have to give birth to my fattest baby ever, probably with the world record head!

Ruthie

Yeah. If you ask me, the only thing you daddies have to do to make a baby is the fun part.

Annie

You and Simon need some guy stuff to do together. I don't want him to feel left out.

Eric

No, being left out is Lucy's job.

Lucy

Mom, if you had to guess, what would you say the babies were?

Annie

Girls.

Annie

[to Matt] You look terrible.

Eric

It finally happened. Our son got rejected by a girl.

Annie

I can't believe it. Not my Matt! Why, you are the most handsomest guy on Earth, and if a girl doesn't like you, then something must be wrong with her.

Eric

Maybe your mom could call her.

Matt

You know, you two are really starting to sound like June and Ward Cleaver.

Eric

Really? Because up until now, you kind of reminded me of Wally. Wally never got rejected.

Lucy

She ate it. I accidentally left my lunch in class and Mrs. Reese ate it. My lunch. All of it…practically. And to add insult to injury, she said that if I'd applied the Geometry stuff we learned in class that I might've made it back to the room in time to save my lunch.

Annie

Is there any truth in that?

Lucy

How would I know? I don't know any Geometry.

Annie

Does that mean you want Mary or Matt to help you with your Geometry?

Lucy

No, I want you to call Mrs. Reese and tell her to stop eating my lunch.

Annie

If it continues, I will. And it is possible that today was just a weird day. And I don't want to upset you in your weakened and starving condition, but maybe you should take a stab at learning Geometry.

Lucy

Why? I don't get it, I'll never get it, and I don't see how it will ever help me in my life to get it.

Annie

It might help you save your lunch.
