TV show quotes
What do you want to tell me that you're not telling me?
Nothing. Oh, I did speak to Morgan last night. He was thinking that maybe instead of the whole family outing thing that you and Patricia could take the kids and let us have a guys' night out. Just the two of us, just hard-working minister guys just getting away from it all, shooting a little pool.
What are you two really up to?
Such a suspicious mind for such a pretty lady.
Flattery. Nice choice.
Thank you.
If I saw one of my daughters in a theatre making out like these two, I send her to a convent.
I mean, this is a kid's movie for goodness sake.
Ah, ah, you can run, but you can't hide.
I'll take hiding for now. But you know, Mom, technically aside from making out, I really didn't do anything wrong.
Annie': Oh, well this may sound harsh to you. To start with, you're on house probation for three months. Now if you an stay out of trouble for that long, I might consider letting you out the house before you turn 21. But if you so much as cross the line once, I'm going to have you lo-jacked, got it? Good!
[at a support group] My friend was killed in a car accident. Her sister was with her. She was injured, and now I don't know what to say to my friend's sister.
What did people say to you that was comforting?
Actually, we talk a lot about what people say that doesn't comfort you at all.
"You'll see her again when you die".
"He's resting now". I was seven. I thought it meant that when my dad rested enough, he'd come back. It totally spooked me.
"It was meant to be". That's my favorite.
"Meant to be". I mean, what is that? My brother was meant to get shot?
Is there anything anybody can say?
Maybe the truth. Things like "This totally sucks".
That's what I wanted to say out loud at the funeral, but I couldn't because nobody would have understood! That and "I'm glad it wasn't me". It sounds selfish, but I'm glad to be alive. I've got a lot of things I want to do with my life.
There's been an accident.
Tell me it's not Lucy.
No. But the girl does go to Lucy's high school. Their car smashed into a telephone pole. One girl was killed instantly. The other one survived, but she's not in good shape. Evidently, they were trying to dodge a kid who ran in the middle of the street.
Which one?
Sarah. Just fourteen years old. This is gonna be a tough call to make, Rev. I was hoping you'd go with me.
[Matt and Simon are in the latter's new room with rock music playing on the radio]
[rushes in and turns off the music] You guys are bothering Lucy.
So?
So? What's wrong with you? Her friend died.
Yeah, I know.
[to Matt] Are you still mad at her?
[to Simon] What are you talking about? [Matt stares at Mary] Get out.
This is my room now. You can't tell me to get out. [Mary gives Simon a sincere stare. Simon then exits the room]
You're mad at Lucy? Mad about what?
I think she was going to run off with those girls. They weren't going to get a pizza.
You don't know that.
Yeah, I do. It was written all over her face when I dropped her off, but I didn't press her on it. She was trying to trick me. How do you think I would have felt if she had been in that car? She could have been killed, too!
[walks in crying] You think I don't know that? You think I don't know that if they hadn't been on their way to pick me up, Sarah would still be alive and she wouldn't have died?
Sarah died because she was driving the car and the kid ran out in front of her!
I know that! And that's my fault too; it's all my fault!
Luc, don't!
Stay away from me!
[rushing in with Eric] What's going on?
I knew that Jen let Sarah drive the car and I didn't tell anyone. It's my fault I didn't tell anyone.
[whispering] Lucy.
If I had told someone, she might still be alive. If I hadn't told them to pick me up, she might still be alive.
Luc, no. Don't blame yourself―
[pushes Annie away] No! Leave me alone!
We can't! We can't leave you alone! This is not your fault! It's not your fault!
It is my fault! It's all my fault! Nothing will ever be the same again! Nothing! [Annie attempts to hug Lucy, but Lucy again pushes her away and then kneels to the ground and begins crying]
Luce, the accident.
It wasn't them. Tell me it wasn't them Mom, please?!
I'm sorry. Sarah was killed Luce, and Jen's in the hospital in serious condition! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Oh, I'm just glad it wasn't you! [they both begin to cry]
How's Jen doing? Any word?
I just got off the phone with her parents; she's still in the hospital. Her leg's going to be okay. But she's got a heavy burden to carry, and... and unfortunately, it could take years to develop the strength for it. Having to be there for Jen is what's keeping the parents going. They're just so grateful they didn't lose her too- What, Annie?
I just keep thinking that Lucy could have been in that car, too.
That's so weird. I feel the exact same way, like every single person on this earth is one second away from leaving the planet, me included. And you know, it's like there must be a reason I'm here. God must have had a reason for keeping me here. Otherwise, why wouldn't I have been in that car?
Right after my wife died, I felt the exact same way. Why didn't I die? Why her? Why did she have to suffer through such a difficult labor and then die in the end?
It'll take awhile.
I know. But I'm glad that she has awhile to take.
You invited a guest to stay in our house without even consulting me?
...I just thought it would be a great cultural experience for the kids, for all of us.
Well so's a museum, but unfortunately we don't have room for one in our house!
[about Sarah] What, you think this girl has parents? What kind of parents would let their child run around hungry and dirty like that? She must be an orphan. I can feel it in my bones!
I think we owe it to the child to go a little bit beyond that.
Why? Even if she does have parents, they shouldn't get her back. When something belongs to you, you have to take care of it! It's the law.
Well, not exactly.
Listen, sweetie, you've been taking care of me for a long time. But I think I need more help than a little girl can give.
I wasn't doing a good job?
No, no, no, honey. I wasn't doing a good job.
It's your turn to be taken care of, and Grandma's great at taking care of people, honey. So I want you to do me a favor and let Grandma take you home for a while. I'll miss you so much. But you deserve everything...some new toys, and some pretty dresses.
I don't need new toys or dresses! I need you!
That's why I'm going to stay here and get some help. But I don't think I'll be much good at it unless I know you're with my mom. That way, I won't worry about you.
I love you, Daddy.
Please take me back to my daddy. He needs me. I shouldn't have left him alone.
Well, that's okay. Daddies can take care of themselves.
But he's really sick, and we don't have any money, so he needs me to go into town with him, and ask people for money so we can buy stuff.
Wait. What kind of sickness?
I don't know, but if he doesn't drink a lot, he hurts real bad.
