Ruthie quotes from 7th Heaven

Ruthie

Simon and Deena sitting in a tree: k-i-s-s-i-n-g. I'm a very good speller.

Ruthie

[to Eric, angrily] Your wife called! [slams the door]

Ruthie

[about Simon] What? I don't know why he's wearing Lucy's shirt, but you can bet he's not dressed like a girl for nothing!

Ruthie

(about Ms. Riddle) She's mean! She's really mean. And she makes me want to do something really, really bad.

Ruthie

[to Mary] I must be at the wrong meeting. I don't know where all this chummy advice and gushy stuff is coming from, because I thought we were all supposed to tell you how mad we are. I'm mad, really mad. You're selfish. You don't care anything about the rest of us, so I don't know why we're all supposed to care so much about you. You act like you're the center of the entire Camden universe! I'm tired of eating a cold dinner every night because we're all hoping you'll come home and eat with us. I'm tired of waking up every night when you clump up those stairs. I'm tired of Mom and Dad fighting about you. I'm tired of covering for you, and I'm not doing it anymore! You made me lie to Mom and Dad, you never came home to have pizza with me like you promised. All you care about is you!

Ruthie

[about Robbie after he broke up with Lucy] I'm next, and when I get him I'm keeping him. Three's a charm.

Ruthie

Why don't you just admit that you were wrong and apologize for being so rude, when all I was trying to do was help you? (Lucy makes a face at her, Ruthie makes one back) Crash and burn. How it feel to be beaten by an 11-year-old?

Ruthie

[to Robbie] Eavesdropping? How very Camden of you.

Ruthie

Hey, Dad, do you mind if my boyfriend comes over tonight?

Ruthie

[to Kevin, Lucy, Ben, Robbie & Simon] Don't be stingy. Go to Dad with your problems. Make him feel needed.

Ruthie

Don't kid yourself, Dad. Lucy's eating for five kids and two dogs.

Ruthie

What are we doing?

Mary

Nothing sleepyhead. Come here.

Ruthie

Are we in trouble?

Lucy

What makes you think somebody's in trouble?

Ruthie

Because I went down to the kitchen and Daddy just said, "Good morning".

Mary

So?

Ruthie

He usually says, "Good morning, Pumpkin!"

Lucy

He probably just forgot.

Ruthie

He always forgets when someone's in trouble.

Mary

Well, it's Matt but you don't have to worry because it's not any real big trouble.

Ruthie

I think it is

Ruthie

Do you guys need anything? It's not 5:00 yet.

Mary

So?

Ruthie

Simon says I'm responsible for everything before 5:00.

Mary

Yeah, well, go tell Simon nice try, but you're not his personal valet.

Ruthie

Okay!

Simon

That's it, pack it up sister, you're out of here!

Ruthie

No, I'm not your personal ballet!

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.
