7th Heaven quotes

Eric

Bill!

Look, you don't understand, okay? Nobody understands!

Eric

I'm trying to...

Please just leave me alone! Please!

Eric

I want to understand. Your wife wants to understand. Hey, I'm here, but you have to open up to somebody. You have a lot of pain and anger. You can't keep it bottled up inside, or else you'll explode.

When I was growing up, I had a cousin with Tourettes. We didn't know it at the time, but later, we found out that was what he had. He had these horrible facial tics. I teased him all the time. I was really just mean. I tortured him relentlessly.

Eric

I'm not quite sure I follow.

I just can't stand to think there's some kid out there doing that to Bobby. Torturing him, making his life a nightmare, the way I did to my cousin. I mean, every time I look at him....it just reminds me of how badly I've acted in the past. Look, I did the research. Tourettes is hereditary, so basically, Bobby is the way he is because of me! You know, ADD I could deal with, but this, you know...I just don't think I can bear it.

Mary

Hey! I think we have Biology together.

What are you doing?

Mary

I'm talking to you.

Why? So you can distract me, and your friends can do something behind my back, and then you can all laugh at me some more?

Mary

I don't laugh at you.

You hang out with Laurel and those jerks she calls friends, don't you?

Mary

Sometimes. Look, I'm just trying to...

Do you have any idea how much you and your friends hurt my feelings? Do you think I'm deaf? Sometimes I wish I was, because then I wouldn't hear every little whisper and nasty comment that comes my way.

Mary

It's not fair to lump me with Laurel. I have never said anything bad about you.

Yeah. You just stand by and let it happen, which, for your information, is worse! Knowing that something is wrong and doing nothing to stop it is worse than just doing the something that's wrong.

Ruthie

[about Sam and David's birthday] Why can't we just celebrate it today so we can keep Valentine's sacred?

Annie

Because Valentine's isn't sacred, but the birth of those boys was sacred, so the importance of their birthday outweighs Valentine's Day.

Ruthie

I'll be sure to let Hallmark know.

Ruthie

[about Simon] What? I don't know why he's wearing Lucy's shirt, but you can bet he's not dressed like a girl for nothing!

Eric

[to the congregation at church] My family has been talking a lot about prayer this week. The discussions began when I shared my feelings about a letter I received in the mail, sent anonymously...I will now pass the author's request on to you.

Eric

[to the church congregation] Say a prayer for the millions of children in the world who have become victims of violence...ask God to help those children who are trying to recover from the death of playmate or friend or family member...pray for the children, that they might have peace...because if we won't stop the violence in our children's lives by taking the right actions and behaving responsibly, then the very least we owe them might be the most powerful thing we can give them, our prayers.

Lucy

[to Annie bashfully] Andrew Nayloss. [Annie smiles] I was just hoping to run into him and Mary was just hoping to run into Robbie!

Mary

What if we just walk around the Promenade. I mean it doesn't cost anything to stalk Lucy's old boyfriend.

Eric

[to the other jurors] I'm asking you to rise above that. The evidence shows that the defendant is guilty.

Mary, you're my hero!

Mary

No, I'm not. I'm nobody's hero.

Why don't you want to be my hero?

Mary

It's not that I don't want to be your hero. It's just that I've made a lot of mistakes, and I don't deserve to be your hero. I'm sorry. I've just...did some stupid things.

Maybe you're being a little too hard on yourself.

Mary

Yeah, or not hard enough.

We make such a nice couple.

Matt

[sighs] You say the sweetest things.

Eric

A young woman came into my office, and she just...appeared quietly at my door, and then...she couldn't bring herself to tell me why she was there. And it's just driving me crazy because I know she needs help. You know, maybe she was abused, maybe somebody hit her. Maybe she's a runaway. Maybe she's pregnant or---maybe she has one of 1,000 other problems, but I don't know. If she doesn't come back I'll never know. She just seemed so fragile. I didn't want to push her for a conversation because if I had she just would've run off. As it was, she disappeared, like, in the blink of an eye. I think I've seen her someplace, you know, but I can't...place her.

Annie

Does she go to school with Mary and Lucy?

Eric

She could. She's the right age. I don't think I recognize her.

Annie

Well, you could scan the yearbook...oh, but then you already have!

Mary

Don't break my heart.

Robbie

Don't break my jaw.

Mary

Don't break my heart, and I'll have no reason to break your jaw.

Robbie

So are you breaking up with me?

Mary

I'm not sure. I just.. I need some time to think. And I need to figure out before I figure out us, but that doesn't mean that we're over. It's just means that you're just gonna have to have some patience this time around. I'm going to take it slow and really get to know each other. Because I think I love you, but I need to have the chance to find out what kind of man you are. So in other words, for the first time, I'm gonna look before I leap.

Robbie

So, are you gonna go to college in the fall?

Mary

I'm not sure what I'm going to do. But when I figure it out, I'll let you know. And if you don't want to wait for me while I do all of that, I'll understand.

Robbie

I'll wait for you forever.

Mary

Then I guess I'll see you in church.
