7th Heaven · Season 5, Episode 15
Hey Mary. Um...how's it going?
How's it going? How's it going!? What is wrong with you people? Isn't anyone happy to see me?
Of course I am.
Then how about showing it?
Okay. [kisses her cheek]
[An angry and frustrated Mary grabs Robbie and gives him a long kiss on the lips]
That says "happy to see you." And that is what I came home for!
Is this your wallet?
Yeah it's my wallet.
And just where did you get a condom?
I rather not say.
Me. I gave it to him.
Simon, haven't we always talked about sex?
In the abstract.
Well that's why we talk about it in the abstract so that one day where it becomes personal, you'll feel free talking about it.
I know what you'd say. I knew you say I was too young.
Well, you are too young.
But Dad, being too young has nothing to do with this?
How's that?
The opportunity was there. Too young or not, it made me feel like a man just to have the opportunity. That's what men do. They have sex.
Well men say no to sex when they have the opportunity, but it's not the right thing to do.
Dad, I know. I said no.
Thank you for being responsible.
I didn't have what you had growing up. I didn't have someone who set boundaries or showed me what is clearly right and what is clearly wrong. They thought I'd learn that from TV or something, but I didn't. My parents did the best they could for who they are, but who they are is two people who were no more capable of creating a functional family than their parents were. My mom always wanted to be my best friend. I didn't need a best friend. I needed a mother! And my father, he was never around, but when he was, he was a real jerk.
You and I are not your parents.
We're not your parents, either. While you may have a shot at having the kind of relationship your parents have, I'm not so sure I do. It takes more than wanting. It takes doing and I've got a lot to do.
