7th Heaven · Season 3
[When Annie catches Simon drinking coffee]
I'm not drinking coffee, I just stole it for him.
[to Ruthie] Thanks a lot.
Simon! [grabs the phone from Lucy] Goodbye, Jordan.
I had to call him to tell him I couldn't call him.
[to Ruthie about her gum] Come on, spit it out. [to Simon] You, no coffee. [to Ruthie] You, no gum. [to Lucy] And you, no phone. Got it? Good.
How did you learn to be so cruel?
It's in the "Mommy Manual" between crafts and cuddling.
What are you doing with this stuff?
A friend at school gave gave 'em to me. Their just natural energy boosters made from herbs or something.
Not everything that is natural is good for you. Cocaine is extracted from the cope of plant. Heroine and Morphine come from natural plants and extracts. Natural doesn't always mean good!
Dad, calm down, okay. Check the bottle, it's sealed. I didn't take any. I was just looking for a way to keep awake so I could keep studying.
Oh, you'll stay awake because the main ingredient in these pills is Ephedrine which is just a chemical process away from being Methamphetamine.
Wait I don't get it, I mean the guy who gave these pills bought them from a health-food store. I mean if this stuff is so dangerous then why is it not illegal.
Because Ephedrine is classified as a food not a drug, so it's not regulated the way it should be. Ephedrine-based supplements are illegal in 13 states. You know that it took to make them illegal? People died. (Mary enters the room)
What's wrong?
I took those pills.
You took these pills?
No, I didn't get the pills from Matt, I got them from Diane who gets them from her father. I thought everyone was taking them.
I think I better talk to Diane's father. Throw them out.
Gladly.
Romeo and Juliet were only 14, you know.
Did you read the entire play? Romeo and Juliet committed suicide!
[hitting Matt] Who do you think you are embarrassing me like that? I am not a child! I am practically a grown woman and you have no right to interfere in my life like that!
Look, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but I'd rather you be mad at me than find out you did something stupid.
Oh, yeah? Well, if you're so worried about me being stupid, then why don't you bust in on Mary at her stupid boy-girl sleepover?
You know, I don't want to sound judgmental, but there really is nothing good to be said about teenage pregnancy. They're just not old enough.
We are so lucky with Mary, Lucy and Matt.
You ready to go?
Yeah. I've been on the phone all day. I called every person in this church directory announcing that I will be holding these stupid auditions.
Oh my, and I know how you hate using the phone. You know I'll drop you off on my errand and come back by the church and help you.
Thanks for the offer, but I doubt there's going to be a long line for free work.
Oh, I think you might be surprised.
I'll probably just be sitting there all afternoon staring at the rec room walls.
Take your shoe shine kit, it'll give you something to do.
Yeah, Merry Christmas to you, too. It's not funny.
Yes, it is.
I have to get Jordan something for Christmas. He got me something. He probably spent a hundred dollars. That's how much couples spend on each other these days.
Your father and I have never spent a hundred dollars on each other at Christmas, and yet whenever we've drawn each other's name we've always managed to give each other something special. You just have to be creative.
First of all, it's not whenever it's every year because we all know that you guys cheat. And secondly, I don't have time to be creative. All my time is being spent trying to talk people into taking part in the live nativity scene.
You cried?
I only did it because you told me too. I'm a disgrace to women drivers everywhere.
Yeah, but not because you cried. Because you can't parallel park. And actually crying to get your way isn't a disgrace to all women drivers, it's a disgrace to all women, period.
You told me too.
Can I just make one teeny tiny suggestion? Learn how to parallel park and retake the test. When I said cry, I meant just that. Cry. Faking it is just like a lie and like lying you have to break the habit now before it controls you.
I'm gonna break something and it's not my crying habit!
Our kids are bad liars.
Really bad liars, every last one of them.
Does whatever is going on with Julie have something to do with your not wanting me anywhere near you today?
No. Don't be ridiculous.
I'm sorry I just couldn't help but notice that you're a little less…friendly than you were yesterday.
There's no reason. Just like there's no reason that Ruthie keeps getting in trouble with the phone, there's no reason Lucy cries well and Mary doesn't, there's no reason that one child is sick and the other isn't, there's no reason that your sister is an alcoholic and you're not. It's just what is. I was quoting from one of your sermons.
I know you're angry with me and frankly, I don't blame you.
Well, I do blame you. And why all the politeness? We didn't come here to enjoy afternoon tea. This is not something I wanted to do, but now that I am here, I want some answers. Answers to questions that I have had for 20 years!
Ask me anything.
Why didn't you listen to me that night? I knew something was wrong. The nurse knew that something was wrong. You saw that my blood pressure was...
Was dangerously high. And you were exhibiting all the classic signs of eclampsia, but I hadn't seen eclampsia happen during labor. But I was nervous and scared and too inexperienced to be dealing with your labor. I should've called in another doctor, but unfortunately, my ego was more developed than my medical training. There is no pretty to say this, I... screwed... up.
Then why didn't you at least apologize for endangering my life and almost killing my son. He was in an incubator for a month!
I didn't apologize because I didn't have the guts to face either of you, so I ran away.
You shouldn't be practicing medicine.
You're absolutely right. When I was 28, I had no business being a doctor. I didn't believe in God before that night, but I knew someone saved you and it wasn't me. Someone was definitely watching out for me, for all of us. I knew I wanted to practice medicine, but I knew I didn't have the training. So I went back to medical school for another three-year residency. After I finished that, because of you and your son, I decided to dedicate my professional life to working with high-risk babies. Three months ago, I got a call from Glenoak Hospital, they wanted me to head up their new Neonatal unit. At first, I didn't want to do it because I was afraid I might run into you and I want to cause any more pain.
Simon and Deena sitting in a tree: k-i-s-s-i-n-g. I'm a very good speller.
[to his Congregation] It's just that we're all doing the best we can, considering who we are at any given moment... every single one of us and that includes the other guy. The guy who has offended us yesterday, a year ago, 20 years ago. It took a young man who's only 15 and in the depths of mourning to remind me of that. And in turn, I am reminding you, I encourage you to make this a week of reconciliation. Amen
Getting ready for the babies is kind of exciting, but it's scary too. Don't you think? Having two new people in the family will be a pretty big change. It's just been the seven of us for a while. Concerns? Thoughts? Fears? Anybody?
We know the drill, Dad. Two of you will leave for the hospital, and four of you will come home.
We've done this before.
I haven't, but I can follow along.
