[to Simon] Doing something for your sister out of love is far more important than doing something for me out of guilt.
S2 E1Don't Take My Love Away
The old lady that left this house to the church died in this attic. Matt told me.
The lady that left the house to the church died in Florida in a senior home.
You missed a great chick fight!
Can I wear a tuxedo too?
I'll think about it
What's a tuxedo?
S2 E2See You in September
[to Eric] Hey, Reverend.
Hey, Sergeant.
Your kids' school have been trying to reach you. I guess your beeper's off.
[looks for his beeper in his pockets] I don't even have my beeper.
Which school? Which kid?
All three schools, all five kids.
TTeacher
No hats in school, Ruth.
My name is Ruthie. Ruthie Camden.
TTeacher
Why don't we call you by your proper name, Ruth?
Ruthie is my proper name. It's the name my Mommy and Daddy gave me. And that's the hat they gave me!
RMrs. Rainy
[to Ruthie not listening to her about taking off her hat] Ok, Ruth, time out.
LLynn
Can I have a time-out too?
RMrs. Rainy
Ok, time out for you too.
You'd think that having dad as a minister, God wouldn't hate me so much.
PRPrincipal Russell
[when Matt, Mary, and Lucy are in her office] Ok, I'll give the family rate, one day suspension each.
S2 E3Who Knew?
[about the joint he found in the house] I just.... I know it's Matt's.
If it isn't, and if you accuse Matt of something this serious, who knows what will happen. I don't think your relationship with Matt can afford to withstand any false accusations.
If you're doing drugs, Matt, I want you to stop. If anything ever happened to you, I would never forgive myself.
Sounds like I'm already guilty.
What were you thinking?! It's bad enough you're smoking dope, but then you had to bring it in here where someone else could find it. What if one of the younger kids had found it first?
I didn't think...
That's just it, you didn't think, because if you thought of anyone besides yourself, you'd know that the look you just saw on Simon's face was the look of a boy who has lost all respect for his older brother!
That's not why!
I'm not finished! Just answer me one thing, it will help me sleep better. Just tell me you wanted to get caught? Because you couldn't have possibly expected to get away with this. Or better yet, tell me why anyone could be so stupid as to do drugs in the first place!?
I don't know, Dad! Why don't you ask Mom? Maybe she can tell you!
Don't you dare bring your mother into this. Apologize right now! [Someone honks a car horn outside, waiting for Matt] Oh, you're not going anywhere.
Well, I'm not staying here. [leaves]
[to Simon] Why are you so mad, and why is Daddy shouting?
Because our big brother is a jerk, and a major loser.
But I don't understand. I love Matt and he loves me.
I'll explain when you get a little older. Just go to sleep.
I don't know if things will ever be the same between Dad and Matt. Or even Mom and Matt.
Yeah, I mean, I don't see how they could be. It's like Wilson said. It's one of those mistakes that you can't take back.
