Peter quotes from 7th Heaven

I know that Peter's having a hard time, but if we could just get him to see the possibilities, you know, it could be so nice for all of us. I've always wanted to have the opportunity to be involved with Little League. I like to fish, go camping.

I just don't think you're even giving Dick a chance.

Peter

I'm just not comfortable around him.

Is there anything he could do to make you more comfortable?

Peter

Yeah, he could leave.

Or he could give you a little more time. Would that work?

Maybe it's not a matter of time. Maybe this just isn't going to work.

But I want it to work, and you want it to work.

Could I talk to your mother and Dick alone?

Peter

Be my guest.

Do you see what I'm up against here?

Yeah.

No offense, Reverend, but this just isn't going to working. I-I think maybe we need a child psychiatrist, somebody who specializes in child therapy, un-unless of course that would offend you, and then, well...I-I'm willing to go along at this pace, if that's what it takes to get you to marry us...because Paris wants you to marry us. And I do, too.

Well, It doesn't offend me at all, and I know how much you love to jump right in and, and take action, Dick, and it's a good thing you have initiative. So I-I'm going to set you up with the best child psychiatrist I know. Dr. Gibson? Hey, It's Eric Camden. Well, I, uh...I have a bit of an emergency. Could you see a young man and his mother and prospective stepfather, tonight? I'd really appreciate it. How's 7:30? It's great. Okay, yeah. Bye.

[sigh] Thanks.

Great.

Let me break the news about this to Peter alone, since we don't want him to resent you anymore than he already does, Dick. And I can walk him home.

That's okay. We'll wait outside.

I just want to be part of what Paris and Peter already have. I want to be a family.

GDr. Gibson

Yeah. They are a good family, aren't they?

Yes they are.

GDr. Gibson

Okay, we just have a couple of minutes left, Peter and I you've been patiently waiting for me to get around you, and you've probably wondering why I haven't. I've just been letting Dick talk because the more he talked, the more certain I became of something. Peter, has Dick ever threatened you?

Peter

Yes. He told me in church last Sunday that...If I messed things up between him and my mom...that he'd get rid of my dog and...that he'd get rid of me

[chuckling] Peter? We're all being truthful here. Come on

G'Dr. Gibson

Oh, I don't doubt Pete's being truthful. I don't doubt it at all. Because, Dick, you're the classic abuser. You just met Paris, and already you want to marry her. You want her to spend less time at work, more time at home maybe even quit her job. You know just what to say to gain control. You've already made Paris lose some of her confidence in her parenting skills, and I imagine, pretty soon, you'd have her feeling so badly about herself that she'd let you make all the decisions, maybe even the ones regarding her son. And if you could just get the two of them separated...well, it'd just became so easy, the emotional abuse...and then the physical abuse. And certainly it would help for you to get rid of the dog. You are an abuser, aren't you Dick? We're ready.

Wait, wait a minute. Wait a minute. I-I don't know what kind of crazy scheme this is, but whatever it is, you better have proof of what you just accused me of, Dr. Gibson...if you are a doctor.

GDr. Gibson

I'm a doctor all right. And Kevin has the proof. And not of my having a Ph. D, and an MD...but your being an abuser.

Kevin

After ending a violent marriage to you, your ex-wife filed a restraining order against you. And you're on probation for violating that restraining order right now, aren't you? Don't go near Ms. Petrowski or Peter ever again. Don't call, don't write. If you even look over the back fence, I'll come after you
