Annie Camden quotes from 7th Heaven

Matt

I joined the army.

Eric

The United States army?

Annie

Yes, the United States army. The one with the guns and the wars!

Eric

Did they tell you you'll have to cut your hair?

Annie

Did they tell you those are real guns with real bullets, and you can get yourself shipped off to God knows where, and for what? Just to get your college education paid for?

Eric

[pause] How much would he get?

Matt

Well, I'm planning on four years. I'm gonna train as a pilot and they'll give me $50,000, and I'll be able to get a job as soon I get out.

Eric

Wow. 50 G's and a job?

Annie

Bullets! Very fast bullets coming at our son!

Annie

I understand that you're helping Simon and Ruthie out with a little something.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Annie

Thanks for helping my kids.

Thanks for sharing your kids.

Annie

Stage fright?

Eric

I'm not nervous about marrying Heather and Mason. I'm nervous about how Matt's dealing with Heather's impending wedding.

Annie

It's funny. I always thought Matt and Heather would end up together.

Julie

We have an announcement.

Hank

Julie and I are going to get married and we don't want to wait.

Annie

Do you know that it was this time last year that I told you there were going to be two new Camdens.

Eric

Not again!

Annie

I'm not pregnant. If I were, the Zero Population Control people would come and take us away.

Eric

So instead of two new Camdens, there's going to be one new Hastings.

Annie

What's the matter? Eric!

Eric

I think I'm having a... heart attack.

Eric

Life is beautiful. [walks away]

Annie

Ah, it is. It is. It is.

Matt

Too beautiful?

Annie

Just a smidge.

Annie

A group called the Talibans is in power in Afghanistan. The atrocities they're commiting against women in the name of religion are shocking. I don't know whether to be angry of what Afghan women don't have or grateful for what I do.

Eric

There's no reason why you can't be both.

Ruthie

So, what kind of fun stuff do we have planned for tomorrow?

Annie

[to Eric] Teacher Work Day. No school for Ruthie.

Ruthie

Yes!

Annie

Okay, let's see. Tomorrow, you can help me clean the bathrooms, do the laundry, repair the kitchen sink, iron the socks, reorganize the linen closet, and go shopping.

Ruthie

Toy shopping?

Annie

Food shopping.

Ruthie

Man, this is gonna be worse than school!

Annie

[when Eric gives her a funny look] What?

Eric

It is going to be worse than school.

Annie

So, how is Glenoak's newest licensed driver?

Lucy

Fantastic! I love the freedom of driving down the road, with the wind in my hair. It's very exhilarating.

Simon

You can't feel the wind when you're only going 5 miles an hour.

Mary

Lucy drives way too slow.

Annie

When it comes to your children driving a car, there is no such thing as driving to slow.

Lucy

Thank you. (shifts her gaze and comment towards Mary) And the reason I drive slow is because you have your big feet hanging out the window.

Mary

Hey, I give my dogs some air.

Annie

From now on you keep your dogs in the car.

Simon

Dogs?! Try horses!

Mary

Excuse me, pinhead!

Eric

I am strong. I am strong. I am capable of handling anything.

Julie

I'm leaving my husband! We tried, but it's over.

Eric

I am strong. I am calm. I am capable of handing anything.

Julie

Great. Are you capable of carrying my suitcase!?

Eric

What happened?

Julie

I'm not having a baby with that man. I refuse. No one can make me. No one.

Eric

I don't understand. I thought you and Hank were happy.

Julie

The marriage was a big mistake. Big mistake... (looks at Eric) It's all your fault! You know how I am. If someone tells me to go left, I go right. If they tell me to jump up, I sit down. If you hadn't disliked that man so much, I never would've married him!

Julie

My back is killing me!

Annie

What's wrong?

Julie

I don't feel so good. And I have this cramping thing. May be it's an upset stomach...

Annie

I think you may be in labor.

Julie

That's impossible. I'm only 8 months pregnant. Besides, I can't be in labor 'cause I'm not going to have a baby with that man!

Mary

(hesitantly) Yeah.

Eric

Well, then, for now, I support this lock-out.

Mary

What?

Annie

I'm sorry, kiddo, but your coach didn't screw up. You did.

Annie

What?!

Sgt. Michaels

We're releasing her without bail on your recoginance, but this isn't over. She's... you're gonna need a lawyer.

Mary

What if I get expelled?

Eric

Well, we'll just have to wait and see what happens, and then deal with it.

Mary

I know I blew it, but up until now, I've been a pretty good kid. Now it's gone. It's all gone. Who knew that one mistake could ruin your whole life?

Annie

Your dad and I.....when you're an adult, you know that one mistake can ruin your life. Your life's not ruined. It's going to be radically different, but only you can decide if that's going to be a good different or bad different.

Mary

Robbie got transferred.

Eric

We know.

Mary

Why'd you do it?

Eric

We think your community service shouldn't be anything but community service.

Annie

It's not something you're doing for yourself, it's something you're doing for the community as a payback. When the first phase of your service is complete and if you get a satisfactory review, then we'll see about Robbie coming over so we can get to know him better and you can get to know him better.

Mary

Then I guess I'm really grateful.

Annie

Ginger, what a nice surprise. Where's Dad?

Ginger

I don't know.

Annie

What? What do you mean you don't know? What's going on?

Ginger

Uh, Annie, honey, your father...well...I don't know where he is.
