Lucy quotes from 7th Heaven

Lucy

How would you know anything about being left out? You have been in the in-crowd your whole life. You've been Miss Star, Miss Athlete, Miss Popularity all during high school. You have no idea what it's like to be left out.

Mary

Are you crazy? Why do you think I got into basketball in the first place? I was, like 7 feet tall by the time I got into the fifth grade. Kids laughed at me and called me names, and so I did something. I learned a sport. I used my height instead of just complaining about it. I became an athlete instead of just whining about being different. And after all that, I'm nothing. I'm just the tall bad girl who let everybody down, and now I'm paying for it!

Lucy

You met a guy at your community service program, didn't you?

Mary

Yes, I knew you wanted to know.

Lucy

No. I don't wanna know. I don't wanna know anything.

Mary

He's gorgeous, and his name is Robbie.

Lucy

Great. Now I know his name.

I always wanted a steady girlfriend, but not tonight. I wish I didn't even have one.

Lucy

Why?

Because right now, I'd like to kiss you.

Lucy

I guess your girlfriend wouldn't go for that.

Probably not.

Lucy

But what if I kissed you?

You mean, without me not knowing about it?

Lucy

What?

That didn't even make sense, did it? [They start kissing]

Ruthie

Don't just stand there. Do something

Lucy

Well, what am I supposed to do?

Ruthie

Teach me how not to let words hurt me.

Annie

I think you better tell me what's going on.

Lucy

Ruthie's new teacher has been calling her stupid. She asked me not to say anything, but...

Annie

She called her what?

Lucy

If you got into that school, you should be honored. You should go.

Ruthie

No. I will not go! You cannot make me! I'm just going to run away.

Lucy

If you run away, you'll still have to make all new friends.

Ruthie

No I won't. My friend Sarah will come with me and we'll join the circus, and when we're old enough we'll marry clowns!

Lucy

You have put way too much thought into this whole thing.

Ruthie

Why has God forsaken me? WHY?

Ruthie

Why is Mary's car in the driveway? Isn't she supposed to be at work, or did she get fired again?!

Lucy

Time for school!

Mary

What's up?

Eric

You tell us. Is this your day off?

Annie

Did you get fired?

Eric

Building burned down? Business close for an epidemic?

Mary

Uh-uh.

Ruthie

Quit?

Mary

I just got another job that's all. I'm working at Pete's Pizza. I just didn't like the pool hall. I kept getting the day shift, and, well, I like the night life, I like to boogie.

Ruthie

Is it me or is she starting to spin?

Lucy

I'm sorry about tonight I was trying to watch everyone and I shouldn't have let Simon sneak out of the house.

Eric

It's not your fault you weren't in charge of Simon. Simon is in charge of Simon.

Lucy

Why don't you girls go outside and play, and I'll set us up a picnic lunch?

I don't like eating outside. It's a bug thing.

Lucy

Okay. Well, then, we'll have a picnic indoors.

Sarah

With orange soda?

I don't like orange soda, and neither does Ruthie.

Sarah

Ruthie likes orange soda.

Lucy

Who wants a cookie?

Ruthie's my best friend, and I think I know if she likes orange soda!

Sarah

She was my best friend first.

But you obviously don't know her as well as I do!

Sarah

Yes, I do.

NO, YOU DON'T!

Lucy

Really. Taste a cookie. They're still warm.

What's Ruthie's favorite color?

Sarah

Purple.

Blue! What does she want to be when she grows up?

Sarah

A vet.

Queen Elizabeth! See, I told you that you didn't know her. I know her. She's my best friend!

Lucy

[to Sarah and Rachel] Okay, I have been listening to you two all day, and a couple of things are clear. You both like Ruthie, and you both have a different relationship with Ruthie--which happens. Different people see different things in you, and they bring out different qualities, and...

No offense, but if I wanted an after-school special lecture, I'd turn on my TV.

Lucy

[to Rachel] Okay. You be quiet for a second and listen to me! [to Sarah] And you! well, you like adults. And I'm an adult, a very tired adult, who's tired of having to listen to you and Rachel fight. I need a time-out, an adult time-out, which can only happen if you both go home. Now. Right away. I will call your parents and tell them whatever you want me to tell them, but please just go home! I promise that Ruthie will have you both over again separately!

Simon

What are we gonna do about this?

Lucy

We're gonna let Mary handle it. It's her problem, not ours.

Ruthie

Please don't let them put Mary in jail again.

Simon

You say to let Mary handle it, but she's not. We're the ones getting the calls, and sooner or later Mom and Dad are gonna find out. And deadbeat or not, she's still our sister.

Lucy

See the trick isn't getting the job, it's keeping the job.

Mary

Why are you so snotty?

Lucy

Considering I spent the day dodging creditors and breaking into piggy banks, I think I'm entitled to be a little snotty.

Mary

I'm sorry. I haven't been completely honest with you. But from now on no more lies. Yes, honesty is my new policy.

Lucy

Who was that?

Mary

Wrong number.

Matt

[about Mary and her money problems] I don't have time for this.

Lucy

I don't have time for this, either! I have a paper to write!

Matt

You know, I don't even know why we're yelling at each other when we should really be yelling at Mary.

Lucy

We can't yell at Mary. We can't find her!

Lucy

Please don't leave like this.

Mary

How did you think I was going to leave? I am being sent off to live with the Colonel and Grandma Ruth in Buffalo! You know what Buffalo is like, and you know what they are like! What made you think I was going to be happy, huh?! What?

Lucy

I didn't know anything about it, OK? And maybe Mom and Dad are more concerned with your safety than your happiness!

Mary

Get out!

Lucy

Is this how you're gonna say goodbye?

Mary

Yeah, yeah. This is how I'm gonna say goodbye. And you can tell the rest of them to stay out of here, because I don't want to talk to any of you!
