Johnny quotes from 7th Heaven

Simon

Hey, excuse me.

Oh, hey, little buddy, am I in your way?

Simon

It's not buddy. it's Simon Camden. Are you Johnny?

So you've heard of me. That's good. Have you heard that this is my girlfriend, Deena?

Simon

I believe that's "was" your girlfriend. Deena was your girlfriend. She's my girlfriend now.

We'll see about that, buddy. I'll see you later.

See what a jerk he is?

Simon

Don't worry, I can take care of him. Piece of cake.

Look, Mighty Mouse, stay out of this or I'll take you out of this.

Simon

Take me out of this?

[makes a gun gesture with his fingers] Get it?

Simon

You're gonna shoot me?

Yeah, just when you least suspect it, you're gonna turn around and find a .38 special pointed right at you. [chuckles] Yeah, I just might do that. You're gonna have to look over your shoulder everywhere you go.

Will the minor please rise? Johnny, I've gone over your record very carefully, as well as the psychological evaluation that was provided to me. And I had to consider that this was not your first offence, that you did admit to stalking the Reverend with an intent to kill him, and to date, you have shown no remorse. Now, this is not to say that I have no hope of your ever changing, because I do. We have successfully rehabilitated young men and women just like yourself, and I intend to follow your case very closely. But today, Johnny, based upon the information gathered, as well as my own conversations with you and your parents, I feel I have no choice but to relinquish you to the State Youth Authority, where you will remain under their care until you're 25 years old, which is the maximum penalty I am allowed to assign a 12-year-old. This concludes this hearing. Court is recessed.

Don't let them take me! Please! Don't let them take me! I wanna go home! I wanna go home!

Eric

Amen.

[about the customers harassing Mary] Let my wife handle them. She's good with those types.

Mary

Frances is your wife?

Not Frances. No one calls her Frances. It's Frankie. We've been married for a year.

Mary

But you look so young!

We are young. Frankie's your age, and I'm 21.

Mary

Yeah, I thought about getting married once, too.

What changed your mind?

Mary

I don't know. I guess I just wasn't ready.

Yeah, well, neither were we, but the baby changed all that.

Fire's ready. [sits down with a beer]

Frankie

So, if the fire's ready...

Do I have to do everything?

Frankie

Well, I did everything else!

Fine, I'll cook the steaks! [storms out]

Frankie

[to Mary] Don't ever get married.

Mary

Marriage takes a lot of work.

Frankie

You have no idea.

Frankie

[on phone with Mary] Hey, what if you and I both decided to sign up for college together next semester?

[smirks in the background] Be sure to apply for that scholarship!

Mary

Are you serious?

Frankie

Sure, I'm serious. I don't know what I want to do, either, but I know I don't want to wait tables for the rest of my life.

Frankie

Why do you always have to act like this when somebody comes over?

I don't act like this whenever someone comes over, I act like this all the time.

Frankie

Right. You do act like this all the time. So when are you going to grow up?

Get off my case, will you?

Frankie

You could at least help me out a little around here. It's not like I ask you to do that much.

You don't ask me to do that much? You asked me to marry you, didn't you?

None of this is my fault. I didn't want a baby. I didn't want to get married.

Eric

But you did want sex, right? That you did want. You just didn't want the responsibility that comes with the sex.

Annie

So basically, this is about your pride. Pride is not a luxury that you can afford if you want to keep your baby. You have to talk to your parents.

I can't. They said they would never forgive me. They won't talk to me.

Annie

Yes, they will. I spoke with them earlier on the phone. They want to talk with you, they want to help. So now, all you have left to do is swallow your pride, get up off that bench, and go and call them. We can go back to Pete's and call them.

It's not going to be easy.

Annie

Being a parent never is. Let's go.
