Lucy quotes from 7th Heaven

Lucy

And how much rent is Robbie willing to pay? Because whatever it is, I'll double it.

Annie

You don't have a job.

Lucy

Right. I don't have anything.

Annie

Oh, Luce, Luce!

Lucy

[to her family] Robbie and I have something to tell you.

Ruthie

Is this about you two being together?

Lucy

You know about us?

Ruthie

Oh, everybody knows.

Lucy

[to her family] Does that mean you're okay with us being together?

Eric

No.

Ruthie

I also want an apology for all that stuff she did last year when she got kicked out.

Lucy

I don't think you're gonna get that. I don't think any of us are going to get that. I think we just have to accept Mary for Mary.

Lucy

Joy? What kind of name is that.

Mary

A name for the look on Robbie's face.

Lucy

I am not jealous of my own sister. I'm just angry that you've shown up and expected to be treated like royalty or something!

Mary

I am still crazy, irresponsible, bad Mary and after all this time I don't think I learned squat. What's it gonna take to get my life in order, huh, Luce?

Lucy

I don't know. But whatever it takes for us all to get our lives in order, I'm pretty sure we can get it right here at home.

Lucy

[to everyone in the living room, watching TV] Wait, is that Dad?

Robbie

Yep, that's your dad. If I were Simon, I'd drive that car to Canada!

Lucy

If God didn't want me to have that ring, he wouldn't have had Jeremy give it to me.

Ruthie

You're actually going to invoke the name of God as the cause for your insanity?

Lucy

Doesn't everyone?

Lucy

I just started thinking about Yasmine and how people can be so cruel, and how horrible I was to you which didn't make me much better than those boys... and how everyone in the world has the same capacity to be so mean and intolerant. It just makes me feel so sad.

Mary

You know how it makes me feel? Angry.

Mary

I heard what you did tonight, and I'm really proud of you, Ruthie.

Ruthie

Yeah. Mom and Dad told me about a billion times already. Big deal.

Lucy

What you did was really amazing, so don't think that it's not. You stood up for someone who was being discriminated against because of her religion, and that's a big deal. A very big deal. The biggest!

Ruthie

Yeah, and look where it got me. Now I have to change schools.

Mary

Look, Ruthie, I know how much you like private school, and nobody would think badly of you if you don't go through with it, if you don't want to.

Ruthie

I don't want to, but I think it's something I have to do. Eleanor Roosevelt said, "It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself". I think I have to bite the bullet.

Mary

I think Matt is crazy enough to get married. I almost did... Why are you all looking at me like that?

Lucy

Because while Matt may do some things as stupid as you, he wouldn't do something stupider then you.

Robbie

I'm not so sure about that.

Mary

Thank you.

Lucy

I bet you money we'll get married before he does.

Mary

He's not getting married until he gets out of medical school and that's years from now.

Lucy

And you don't think we'll be married until he gets out of medical school?

Mary

It's not likely.

Lucy

Wife?

Matt

Wife-to-be.

Eric

You're engaged?

Matt

Yes, we are.

Annie

Then congratulations, son. I'm very happy for you.

Lucy

Watch this! [she fakes a faint] Well?

Ruthie

Well what?

Lucy

That was a faint, I think I'll try that nobody argues with a fainter!

Ruthie

It needs work you look sleepy not fainty.

Lucy

Ok! [Tries it again] Better?

Ruthie

I'm not sure...

Lucy

Maybe if I crack my head against the wall!

Ruthie

Are you sure you haven't already done that?

Lucy

What are kids doing these days to get out of school? Fake fevers, trick thermometers, run any throat techniques anything new out there?

Ruthie

No, same old stuff. Although, Talia Skepka ate a caterpillar last week to get out of P.E. but she didn't throw up until two periods later, so the timing has to be worked out.

Lucy

I have to get out of this dinner tonight.

Ruthie

Stay home with Robbie.

Lucy

Think I could?

Ruthie

Oh man, I knew it!

Lucy

Hey, it's just that sometimes when a couple breaks up it's not totally clean, there's some unfinished business and this would be a good time to clean it up.

Ruthie

That's not all there is to it, you have to have a reason to stay home, a reason you can say out loud to Mom and Dad.
