[to Mary] I love you, too. All right, this is hard. (trying not to cry) You're my big sister. And I look up to you. Or at least I did. You've always been better at school than I am, you've always been better at everything than I am. And that, at times, has made me feel inferior. Yet most of the time, it's given me something to work toward, because I wanted to be like you. But I don't want to be like you anymore.
S5 E7Bye
[to Mary] I must be at the wrong meeting. I don't know where all this chummy advice and gushy stuff is coming from, because I thought we were all supposed to tell you how mad we are. I'm mad, really mad. You're selfish. You don't care anything about the rest of us, so I don't know why we're all supposed to care so much about you. You act like you're the center of the entire Camden universe! I'm tired of eating a cold dinner every night because we're all hoping you'll come home and eat with us. I'm tired of waking up every night when you clump up those stairs. I'm tired of Mom and Dad fighting about you. I'm tired of covering for you, and I'm not doing it anymore! You made me lie to Mom and Dad, you never came home to have pizza with me like you promised. All you care about is you!
Please don't leave like this.
How did you think I was going to leave? I am being sent off to live with the Colonel and Grandma Ruth in Buffalo! You know what Buffalo is like, and you know what they are like! What made you think I was going to be happy, huh?! What?
I didn't know anything about it, OK? And maybe Mom and Dad are more concerned with your safety than your happiness!
Get out!
Is this how you're gonna say goodbye?
Yeah, yeah. This is how I'm gonna say goodbye. And you can tell the rest of them to stay out of here, because I don't want to talk to any of you!
[screams out angrily to Eric and Annie] I'll meet you in the car! [slams the door]
Mary wouldn't leave without saying good-bye to her brothers and sisters, would she?
Don't be surprised if she gets on the plane without even saying good-bye to us.
I hate this.
S5 E8Gossip
M1Man #1
[gossiping in Church as Eric gives his sermon] I heard they sent Mary off to rehab.
W1Woman #1
I heard she's pregnant.
W2Woman #2
She had to get married.
W3Woman #3
No, she's in prison!
M2Man #2
She just went crazy. They put her in an institution.
W4Woman #4
An institution? How could they have a daughter like that? The Camdens are such good people.
M3Man #3
I heard Mary ran away, and they don't know where she is.
T1Teenager #1
She's pregnant and she robbed Pete's Pizza.
T2Teenager #2
No way!
T1Teenager #1
It's all over town!
BMrs. Beeker
She stole money out of the register at the pool hall.
W5Woman #5
I heard she dropped a baby on its head.
BMrs. Beeker
Her baby, right?
W5Woman #5
I don't think so.
M4Man #4
I heard she has a drinking problem. That's how she got pregnant. The drinking!
BMrs. Beeker
She was drinking and driving.
M4Man #4
In the nude!
BMrs. Beeker
It's just another case of a good girl gone bad.
[unaware of the gossip going around] Amen.
You told your principal that I have a learning disability, Simon doesn't talk, Matt lives in his car, Dad lost his job and Mom drinks? And how am I responsible for this?
Your friend Mike. He said that if people felt sorry for us, then they'd stop gossiping about Mary so that's what I did to make people feel sorry for us.
Well, you made your principal feel sorry for us.
No, just like Mike said, I told someone in authority, someone people listen to. Mrs. McCool will tell other people. It'll work.
I notice that you didn't tell your principal that you have any problems.
My problem is that I have you guys for a family!
We talked to Mrs. McCool.
Why would you make up stories about the family like that?
I thought that if I got people to feel sorry for us, they'd stop talking about Mary. I thought that if Mary knew everyone was talking about her, she wouldn't want to come home. I'm still mad at her for messing up, but I want her to come home.

[to Lucy] Mmm, look at you. You look like you need a man.
I think he just called you a bad word. A really, really, bad word.
Hey, look, the little one knows what I called her sister, but the sister don't know. Or she know what true?
She know what true? Look, you arrogant little...what are you, a pimp? Get away from me.
[Norton slaps Lucy's bottom]
[to the manager] Do something.
MManager
Like what?
Like, get that guy out of here.
MManager
He didn't hurt you.
He slapped me.
MManager
From the looks of you, it couldn't have hurt.
What's a pimp?
It's a guy who hates woman.
Simon, your friend called me a name and slapped me on the butt in the record store.
What, you mean Norton? No way, he was just kidding around. Believe me, he couldn't have been serious.
Simon, he slapped me!
He didn't hurt you, did he?
Yes, he hurt me! He humiliated me, and that hurt... a lot!
Well, what do you want me to do about it?
I want you to understand that I am not a punching bag. I am not a trash can that guys can throw their filthy thoughts or words into. I'm a person, Simon. I'm your sister. Do something.
Norton [to Annie] So this is your mother? I see the resemblance and I like it. What you say, Mama?
I say you're all pathetic. Go home.
Why don't you go home? You don't belong on the streets 'cause you got no respect for me. For no man. Maybe I should teach you some respect.
You want a piece of this? I brought seven kids into this world. I can take one out.
[When Simon tackles Norton to the ground for harassing Heather]
You are going to go to my house and apologize to my mother and my sister for what you did, but not before you apologize to Heather. That's my brother's friend. She's deaf, man! How could you?
I didn't know she was deaf! Lighten up!
You knew she was a person, didn't you?
S5 E11Home
If you weren't available to baby-sit Sam and David, who do you think I could get to baby-sit?
Well Ruthie's not old enough, so Robbie?
NEVER!
Robbie, never?
And you know why? Robbie is just the border. You do not leave our children with the border. Not the children we created and I gave birth to. Responsible family members and qualified babysitters only. Robbie is neither. He is just a border
You need to find him a job so he can find a place to live.
I'm working on it. Even Robbie's working on it.
Well, work faster. Why do you like him so much?
Why do you like him so little?
If Mary finds out he's living here, there's going to be hell to pay. That's right, I said it. HELL! So get him out.
I have to move back home.
Have to?
I have to protect the women.
Congratulations. That is the most ridiculous excuse you've come up yet.

Who would leave a baby on our doorstep?
God.
That's sweet, but I think God had a little help on this one
