Lucy quotes from 7th Heaven

Ruthie

I had no idea kissing was such a big deal.

Lucy

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

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!

You should be! If you had bothered to get to know me, I'm a pretty nice person. And I try to treat others the way I want to be treated.

Lucy

And yet, if you made the same mistake we did, you'd want them to forgive you, right?

I wouldn't make the same mistake you did.

Why did you think it was not just a hug?

Lucy

I don't know... something just didn't seem right. I got a bad feeling about it... but I'm sorry. That's just the way I felt... I must've been wrong. I was wrong, I mean obviously.

Are you sure you were wrong, Lucy?

Lucy

Off course I'm wrong, I'm always wrong. But how was I supposed to know about that mile record thing?

I'm going to have to talk to one of your parents.

Lucy

At least you know the number.

Mary

[to Lucy] How are either of them going to call you if you are on the phone?

Lucy

They're not, I'm playing hard to reach until I can make up my mind which one I want.

I wish we had dates to the dance, though.

Lucy

Me, too. I know it sounds shallow, but just once in my life I'd like to walk into a gym with a really cool guy. Somebody tall, handsome and not my dad!

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.

Lucy

[at a support group] My friend was killed in a car accident. Her sister was with her. She was injured, and now I don't know what to say to my friend's sister.

What did people say to you that was comforting?

Wilson

Actually, we talk a lot about what people say that doesn't comfort you at all.

"You'll see her again when you die".

"He's resting now". I was seven. I thought it meant that when my dad rested enough, he'd come back. It totally spooked me.

"It was meant to be". That's my favorite.

"Meant to be". I mean, what is that? My brother was meant to get shot?

Lucy

Is there anything anybody can say?

Wilson

Maybe the truth. Things like "This totally sucks".

That's what I wanted to say out loud at the funeral, but I couldn't because nobody would have understood! That and "I'm glad it wasn't me". It sounds selfish, but I'm glad to be alive. I've got a lot of things I want to do with my life.

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]

Lucy

That's so weird. I feel the exact same way, like every single person on this earth is one second away from leaving the planet, me included. And you know, it's like there must be a reason I'm here. God must have had a reason for keeping me here. Otherwise, why wouldn't I have been in that car?

Wilson

Right after my wife died, I felt the exact same way. Why didn't I die? Why her? Why did she have to suffer through such a difficult labor and then die in the end?

Lucy

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

Annie

Girls.

Eric

Maybe what you need is a tutor.

Lucy

You mean an older-high-school-guy-who-looks-like-Brad-Pitt type of tutor?

Eric

Uh, no, I was thinking of a much-older-minister-who's-slowly-losing-patience-with-his-daughter type of tutor.

Mary

You know, none of this is like you, and I know why. I think your attitude is compliments of your new best friend Nicole.

Lucy

Stop picking on my friend, okay? Because Nicole is here to stay, and in the future, stay out of my business. Especially my friend business.

Mary

I'm telling you there's something up with Nicole.

Lucy

That's your opinion.

Mary

Look, I know no one wants to hear this, but I have to say something. Last night I saw Nicole in our bathroom cutting herself with a razor.

Lucy

It makes no sense. I don't understand why Nicole would cut herself, why anyone would.

Eric

Well, a lot of girls do it. In fact, some experts believe that cutting or self-mutilation is the fastest growing problem with teenage girls outside of eating disorders.

Lucy

If that's true, why haven't I heard of it?

Eric

No one talks about it much.

Lucy

That maybe true with other people, but Nicole is my best friend. If she were doing this, I'd be the first to know.

Eric

There's a lot of shame that goes with cutting and Nicole wouldn't necessarily tell you or anyone else 'cause she's probably embarrassed that she does it.

Lucy

Well, if she's embarrassed about it why doesn't she stop?

Eric

It's not that simple. See, sometimes when a person can't handle whatever emotional pain they're in, they cause physical pain to themselves. They'll take a razor or a knife or a pen and make little cuts that they can hide. And when you want to quit something like that, you have to find out what's causing the pain that's making you hurt yourself or you're never going to be able to stop doing the destructive behavior.

Lucy

I'm so sorry, Dad.

Eric

For what?

Lucy

I'm sorry you have such a dunce for a daughter. I'm so stupid about biology and Nicole.

Eric

I never want to hear you call yourself stupid again. You're not. Biology is tough and nobody knew about Nicole, not even her parents at first. So no blaming yourself for that either. I can't go to biology with you but, uh, if you need a substitute best friend, I'm always here.
