What's the matter? Eric!
I think I'm having a... heart attack.
S4 E1The Tattle Tale Heart
Why did Daddy's heart attack him?
Some hearts just do that, I guess.
I'm moving in an apartment with John Hamilton. You know I love you, but I can't stay forever.
S4 E2Life is Too Beautiful
Life is beautiful. [walks away]
Ah, it is. It is. It is.
Too beautiful?
Just a smidge.
You know what your problem is, Lucy? You don't have basketball. You don't have anything. So next year, you're gonna be a senior and you're going to be trying to decide where you're going to college and how you're gonna pay for it, and I hope that nobody helps you figure it out.
You moved out and left me in charge of Mom, Dad, and the kids!
I didn't leave you in charge of anyone.
Nevertheless, that's exactly what I've been doing, and you're undermining my authority.
How?
How? By telling Ruthie that she doesn't have to take a bath, and....and by doing all kinds of things.
Like what?
Just stuff, okay?
Hey, don't get so upset!
It's too late for that, because I'm already upset. And you know what I'm most upset about? The fact that you find this all so funny, like I'm some kind of idiot or something.
When did I ever act like you were an idiot?
When I was shaving. (pause) I mean, it hurt my feelings! Did people make fun of you when you started shaving?
I'm sorry.
It's okay. I just wanted you to know.
S4 E3Yak Sada (a.k.a. One Voice)
A group called the Talibans is in power in Afghanistan. The atrocities they're commiting against women in the name of religion are shocking. I don't know whether to be angry of what Afghan women don't have or grateful for what I do.
There's no reason why you can't be both.
This is the most important thing you have to do before your wedding. There's still a lot of issues left to resolve before you two stand in front of your families and friends and promise to be together for the rest of you lives.
RRyan
After we're married, we'll have the rest of our lives to talk about these things. I don't mean to be insensitive here, but it's not our fault you had a heart attack which forced us to push these counseling sessions up to just before the wedding.
We haven't even discussed the vows.
RRyan
Love, honor and obey. What's to discuss?
Well, for one thing there's that pesky word, "obey." Jump on in here anytime you want, Jessica. (looks at Jessica for her opinion.)
RRyan
You know, like you said, a husband has to be responsible for providing for the family.
Uh, I believe I said "parents." Parents or a parent as the case may be has to be responsible for providing for the family. Of course, those responsibilities can be divided up in any number of ways depending on the couple doing the dividing wants.
RRyan
Jessica will be responsible for cooking and cleaning and laundry and childcare. And I will be responsible for bringing home a paycheck, deciding how that money is spent and when it's time for us to have children. These are pretty traditional division of responsibilities, not much different from the way you and Annie do things.
You think that's what Annie and I do? (Ryan agrees.) Okay, I have to admit that the division of labor has been a little off lately, but that's because of my heart attack. When I was in- when I get back to fighting form, Annie and I have one philosophy: Do whatever is necessary, whenever necessary and whenever amicable to whomever necessary.
S4 E4Come Drive with Me
We haven't seen you around. What, did you finally buy some groceries?
No, I've been bust deciding what I'm gonna be when I grow up.
Picking a major?
Yup. Pre-med. I'm gonna to be a doctor.
I hate this job, I hate this job, I hate this job!
AAdam
So let me ask you something. Do you hate this job?
Who's there?
AAdam
My name's Adam. (emerges from the hospital bed covers)
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see you there.
AAdam
Gee, I wish I could say I've never heard that one before. (Matt looks embarrassed) Relax, I don't take that kind of thing personally.
Where's your father, Ruthie?
He's at home and he doesn't know that I'm here. And I risk being punished to tell all of you that my dad really needs that raise so he could buy a new car. But I think you should change your minds. Do you know all the things my father does? He helps kids who are in trouble and people without jobs or houses. And when something really bad happens, he's there. And you know why? 'Cause he cares. But don't worry, he'll keep caring whether he gets the raise or not. I'm just hoping you'll change your minds. That's about all I have to say.
The entire board saw you riding in that new red convertible, Eric. And the other day when I was here, some guys delivered some fixtures. We thought if you had the money to get the car and to remodel the house. Chances are you didn't need the raise especially with as well as Annie manages a household budget. Now, I'm sorry. Ruthie explained everything and of course, we will give you your annual raise. And we're sorry if we gave you an impression other than that we are grateful for everything you do for us.
S4 E5With Honors
So, what kind of fun stuff do we have planned for tomorrow?
[to Eric] Teacher Work Day. No school for Ruthie.
Yes!
Okay, let's see. Tomorrow, you can help me clean the bathrooms, do the laundry, repair the kitchen sink, iron the socks, reorganize the linen closet, and go shopping.
Toy shopping?
Food shopping.
Man, this is gonna be worse than school!
[when Eric gives her a funny look] What?
It is going to be worse than school.
EElaine
Did you hear the rumor? It's all over school.
I just saw you this morning. How could anything be all over school?
EElaine
Well, what can I say the real juicy stuff has a life of its own. Corey Conway had a baby when she was 14.
Corey had a baby?
EElaine
Yeah, Maggie, the new girl said that there was a Corey Conway who went to her junior high school, and that Corey got pregnant and dropped out of school and had a baby.
