Quotes

Annie: (when Eric brings home a cake) Are you sure about this? This isn't on your diet, you know.
Eric: I don't care. All the food on my diet tastes like straw! (edit)
Ruthie: So, tell me the truth. Are you gonna join all my friends' parents and get a divorce?
Eric: A divorce? Why would you think that?
Ruthie: Ben told me.
Eric: He what?
Annie: I called him, and he agreed not to give any of our kids any more advice without consulting us first. (turns to Ruthie) Therapy can help people when they want the help. (edit)
Annie: Your father and I would never get a divorce.
Ruthie: How do you know that? You won't even go to therapy with him! Maybe he'll decide without you! This isn't just about you, it's about our whole family! (edit)
Mrs. Beane: (to Lucy) You have fulfilled your requirement, and you won't need to serve again until the next time someone calls you. God willing, I'll be on vacation at that time. (edit)

Roxanne to Kevin: "Do you want me to repeat the question."

Kevin to Roxanne: "No, never!"

Roxanne to Kevin: "Don't be such a prud"

Kevin to Roxanne: "I not a prud. I just believe that what the woman I love and I do together or don't do together in nobody else's business."

Mrs. Beane to Lucy: "Hopefully the trial doesn't go on for months and they sequester the jury."

Lucy to Mrs.Beane: "That would be awful!"

Lucy to the Judge: "That's Jimmy Moon, my high school boyfriend."

Lucy to Kevin: "Sorry I was such bad citizen."

Kevin to Lucy: "No you think?"

Lucy to Kevin: "You're right they're not officaly engaged, but if they get married before us, you're a dead man and they won't have to get me a jury because I'll proudly plead guilty." (edit)

Trivia

add »
Since 7th Heaven is based in California it should be noted that at the time of this episode and since it has been California state law that you serve "one day or one trial". (edit)
Lucy got excused from the jury because she knew the defendent. (edit)
Response to response-Actually, before an officer gets out of his or her car anywhere, they will have called dispatch to say where they are. Kevin wouldn't have needed to tell them his location again. (edit)
Response to goof: In the police force, you tell dispatch where the officer is down once the ambulance is on the way. Telling them that one is needed is the most important issue so that they can get prepared to leave. (edit)
How is it that when Kevin reported Roxanne's injury he didn't identify himself or where they were, but the lady on the other end of the walkie talkie knew where they were. (edit)
