George, Colonel and others in “Seven Is Enough”

[to the Camdens] Why can't you adopt me? I'll be good, and I'll stay out of your way. You won't even know I'm there!

George, listen to me. Eric is smart about these things. He knows what's right. He's a good man, a smart man, and if you're lucky, you'll grow up to be like him. Anyway, why would you want to live with a couple of old war horses like us? You've got a whole house full of great kids right here.

They're all dreamers.

Ruth

There's nothing wrong with a little dreaming.

No. It's time you settled down and started a little dreaming of your own.

I already did. My dream was to be with you.
