Ruthie quotes from 7th Heaven

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

Maybe we should give it back.

Simon

To who? The sidewalk?

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?

Simon

Well, I know my phone number when someone asks for it.

Ruthie

And still no one calls.

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?

No hats in school, Ruth.

Ruthie

My name is Ruthie. Ruthie Camden.

Why don't we call you by your proper name, Ruth?

Ruthie

Ruthie is my proper name. It's the name my Mommy and Daddy gave me. And that's the hat they gave me!

Ruthie

[to Simon] Why are you so mad, and why is Daddy shouting?

Simon

Because our big brother is a jerk, and a major loser.

Ruthie

But I don't understand. I love Matt and he loves me.

Simon

I'll explain when you get a little older. Just go to sleep.

Ruthie

[to Simon] You need to see a doctor.

Simon

I am shrinking. For real.

Ruthie

I had no idea kissing was such a big deal.

Lucy

Well, let me tell you something, sister, it is!

Ruthie

When's eventually?

Mary

Sometime in the future, but you're not sure when.

Ruthie

Is it for sure?

Mary

What?

Ruthie

Eventually?

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!

Ruthie

Mommy's upstairs yelling at Mary and Lucy, and I'm pretty sure the roast is burning.

Why do you think that?

Ruthie

Because there's smoke coming out of the oven.

Ruthie, you get off the phone right now and go upstairs and get your mother. Right now, that's an order! Understand?

Ruthie

Yes, sir! [hangs up]

Ruth! Pack my bags, I'm shipping out!

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.
