Lucy quotes from 7th Heaven

Lucy

Oh no.

Not again. How could you leave your lunch in Geometry class again?

Lucy

I don't know. Because I love a frenzied sweaty hallway sprint before lunch? Where's the straightest line from here to our Geometry room?

I don't know.

Lucy

You really gotta start paying more attention in class.

Lucy

Oh, sorry to interrupt. I just left my lunch in here. Is that my lunch?

I'm sorry, Lucy. I didn't know you'd be back.

Lucy

You ate my lunch?

Well, I figured if you were coming back for it, you'd've been here sooner.

Lucy

It's a long hallway. A long windy hallway filled with obstacles that walk and shove and get in your way on their way to eating their own lunches.

What's the shortest distance between two points? A straight line. You know, if you applied what we talked about in class, you might've gotten back here quicker and saved your lunch.

Lucy

I just don't understand Geometry. I can't do that kind of thinking. I don't have that side of the brain or something.

Really? Because it looks like you're not all that interested in Geometry and aren't really giving it your best shot.

Lucy

It's hard to be interested in something you know you'll never use. I mean, never get.

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.

I'm sorry, Lucy. I didn't know if you'd remember to come back again today.

Lucy

No, I'm sorry. I didn't know you'd start on my lunch again today.

You should have. It's called a "given". You see, this situation isn't all that different from a geometry proof. Why Mrs. Reese eats my lunch...your lunch is something to be eaten. That's the definition of lunch. Your lunch is in here to be eaten because you leave it in here. That is a "given". I don't want it to sit and rot, etc. That is also a "given". So what conclusion can we draw from this?

Lucy

That is my lunch is left in here, you're going to eat it unless I get back here before you do?

Exactly right. Which route did you take to get back here?

Lucy

The south hallway.

Okay, "G" that's our geometry room. And "F" that's you...famished. If you draw an imaginary line from here to here.

Lucy

It's a right triangle.

And how could you have gotten to "G" quicker?

Lucy

By going from here to here?

Yep. You bisect the angle to the midpoint on the hypotenuse.

Lucy

So, can I have whatever's left of my lunch? [there's nothing left]

I had a light, light breakfast.

Annie

Lucy, wait. I got the phone bill today.

Lucy

Congratulations.

Annie

Your phone usage is completely out of control.

Lucy

Define "out of control."

Ruthie

I'm not drinking coffee, I just stole it for him.

Simon

[to Ruthie] Thanks a lot.

Annie

Simon! [grabs the phone from Lucy] Goodbye, Jordan.

Lucy

I had to call him to tell him I couldn't call him.

Annie

[to Ruthie about her gum] Come on, spit it out. [to Simon] You, no coffee. [to Ruthie] You, no gum. [to Lucy] And you, no phone. Got it? Good.

Lucy

How did you learn to be so cruel?

Annie

It's in the "Mommy Manual" between crafts and cuddling.

Lucy

Romeo and Juliet were only 14, you know.

Eric

Did you read the entire play? Romeo and Juliet committed suicide!

Lucy

[hitting Matt] Who do you think you are embarrassing me like that? I am not a child! I am practically a grown woman and you have no right to interfere in my life like that!

Matt

Look, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but I'd rather you be mad at me than find out you did something stupid.

Lucy

Oh, yeah? Well, if you're so worried about me being stupid, then why don't you bust in on Mary at her stupid boy-girl sleepover?

Eric

You ready to go?

Lucy

Yeah. I've been on the phone all day. I called every person in this church directory announcing that I will be holding these stupid auditions.

Eric

Oh my, and I know how you hate using the phone. You know I'll drop you off on my errand and come back by the church and help you.

Lucy

Thanks for the offer, but I doubt there's going to be a long line for free work.

Eric

Oh, I think you might be surprised.

Lucy

I'll probably just be sitting there all afternoon staring at the rec room walls.

Eric

Take your shoe shine kit, it'll give you something to do.

Lucy

Yeah, Merry Christmas to you, too. It's not funny.

Eric

Yes, it is.

Lucy

I have to get Jordan something for Christmas. He got me something. He probably spent a hundred dollars. That's how much couples spend on each other these days.

Annie

Your father and I have never spent a hundred dollars on each other at Christmas, and yet whenever we've drawn each other's name we've always managed to give each other something special. You just have to be creative.

Lucy

First of all, it's not whenever it's every year because we all know that you guys cheat. And secondly, I don't have time to be creative. All my time is being spent trying to talk people into taking part in the live nativity scene.

Lucy

You cried?

Mary

I only did it because you told me too. I'm a disgrace to women drivers everywhere.

Lucy

Yeah, but not because you cried. Because you can't parallel park. And actually crying to get your way isn't a disgrace to all women drivers, it's a disgrace to all women, period.

Mary

You told me too.

Lucy

Can I just make one teeny tiny suggestion? Learn how to parallel park and retake the test. When I said cry, I meant just that. Cry. Faking it is just like a lie and like lying you have to break the habit now before it controls you.

Mary

I'm gonna break something and it's not my crying habit!

Lucy

Why do we have to hurry?

Mary

I've got to pick up Ruthie, then I've got to drop you two at home, then I have to head over to the Junior High so I can make Simon look good, which is not gonna be easy.

Lucy

You know he's just using you.

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!

Lucy

What?! Who?!

Lucy

Why?!

Mary

I don't know. We were just eating and talking about the team lockout and it just happened.

Lucy

And you got busted?

Mary

Yeah, We must've set off an alarm or something'cause the cops showed up.

Lucy

What's gonna happen?

Mary

I don't know. Sgt. Michaels saids I need a lawyer.

Lucy

This is unreal.

Mary

I wish.
