7th Heaven

Simon: (to Eric) You know dog is God spelled backwards.

Annie: (after Lucy ran out in the middle of Eric's sermon) I used that same "To everything there is a season" line when I was talking to her about her period. She thought you were about to tell the whole Church. Eric: Why would she think that? Annie: Because she's 12 and a little crazy right now.

Ruthie: When is Mom going to make us something to eat? Eric: Well, why don't I make us something to eat? Ruthie: Because you don't cook so good. Eric: Who says I'm a bad cook? Ruthie: No one. They don't want to hurt your feelings.

Eric: (to Lucy, who locked herself in the bathroom) Luce? It's your dad, remember me? The guy who bought you anatomically correct dolls by mistake? Come on, we have a history of embarrassing things between us. Let's talk. Not that there's anything to be embarrassed about. Hey, have you started your period yet? Because, you know, I was going through something similar myself, and-- Lucy: Go away!

Matt: I think I know why Happy is so happy, I think Happy is going to have puppies. Simon: Don't tell Dad.

Annie: So, Mom and Dad what's up? Jenny: I have Acute Leukemia. Annie: Well they have treatments for Leukemia? Jenny: Well they don't give me much hope.

Annie: (referring to Mary being out with Jeff) So, we'll postpone this talk with Mary. Eric: I already talked to her. Annie: (referring to the fact Annie brought a dog home without talking to him first) I thought we were gonna talk together, lets just say were even. Eric: Why do you think Matt said he'd be happy to drive to the airport and pick your parents up? Annie: Matt our son, who has only had his license for 3 months doesn't mind driving to the airport to pick up my parents. Annie: Where's Matt? Eric: Probably heading for gate 3 now. Annie: What? You know you and I have got to set some rules for the kids that we both agree on.

Annie: I told the dog, we'd see it isn't definite. I got the dog at the pound, he didn't just run into the yard. Eric: So, even though I assure you there is a God, he had nothing to do with this. Simon: Sure he did, Mom wouldn't do this on her own. Eric: I just want to know where the communication broke down. Annie: When the guy told me the dog was going to be put down in 24 hours. Eric: Just so I know.

(Annie unexpectedly shows up with a dog in the yard) Annie: I don't know what came over me. Eric: Annie, what are you doing. Annie: Well, I was going to the pound and I was just gonna look. Eric: Well, the pound is not a good place just to look.

Matt: Dad, I quit.

Eric: How did it go? Mrs. Bink: Worked like a charm.

Ruthie: (sees Lucy standing on her head): Whatcha doin'? Lucy: I'm becoming a woman, so leave me alone.

Eric: Simon, well you know sometimes we don't always get what we want. Simon: Yeah I know, but it would be good if I did, just this time.

Eric: (to Lucy) Are congratulations in order here ... then congratulations, this is a important day.

Mrs. Bink: Where are my cigarettes? Matt: Didn't you say you lost a lung? Mrs. Bink: That's none of your business I thought you smoked, well you got any on you.

Eric: How come they like your parents and they don't like mine? Annie: Cause, mine are better.

Eric: If you loose this job you owe me 6 months of Sundays in church. Matt: Its not gonna happen. You know that talk you and Mom had with me about men and women? Eric: One of my finest moments. Matt: Well you and Mom might wanna have that talk with Mary.

Simon: (to Eric) I think if there is a God, he knows me a little better than you do, and believes I am plenty responsible.

Lucy: I'm gonna stay in this house for the rest of my life until I become a barren old woman. Mary: Well you can't its not our house, it's the Church's house, someday someone is gonna make you get out, so you might as well get out now. Lucy: You think the person who died and left this house to the church was insane. Maybe she's still hanging around maybe I'm possessed. Mary: You're not possessed, you just have P.M.S.

Eric: (to his congregation) I'd like to read something from Ecclesiastes although most of you may have thought this was from the Byrds, indeed it is from Ecclesiastes, for everything there is a season... Lucy runs out

Simon: (during Amazing Grace) Please God, just let a dog come into our yard today, that's and I promise I won't ever let him die ever.

Eric: I'll have a cup of coffee black. Eric: Filter or non-filter, what is it you smoke? Matt: It's not like its Pot it's just cigarettes. Eric: Not really a good point, Matt. So, the cigarettes cost me what in allowance. Matt: You know its not like I'm walking around with all kinds of money. Eric: Welcome to the club. Do you know how you get money? Matt: Yeah, you get a job.

Lucy: Can you please tell Dad to stay out of this? Annie: He just wants you to feel comfortable talking with him about everything. Lucy: I don't wanna talk about it, I just wanna do it, all my friends are doing it and I'm like some kinda freak. Annie: You're not a freak. You'll start your period. Lucy: What if I don't? Annie: Have you ever heard for everything there is a season, a time to uhh…hmm a time to do something or other. The point is that you just have to let nature take its course you can't hurry these things.

Mary: (referring to kissing) The point is, I don't know where my hands go or his hands or my face or his face or his lips or my lips, and I don't want it to be awkward, couldn't you just show me so I have some experience. Matt: Don't kiss me. Mary: Would you stop, I'm not gonna kiss you. Ok, so do I touch his face with my hands. Mary moves her hand toward his face Matt: No, look if anybody touches face, he touches your face or maybe he doesn't, I don't know. Mary (starts moving toward a kiss) So I close my eyes and...Eric sees Mary trying to kiss Matt Matt: Oh Dad, this isn't what it looks like. Eric: That's a relief.

Mary: (to Matt who is smoking) Have you lost your mind, you're gonna get caught.

Simon: It's just I was the baby for a long time and I miss the individual attention, and I can get that from a dog without having to bother you so much, and I would feet it and walk it and it would be no trouble at all. Annie: Simon, the bottom line is your dad and I have talked about this and the decision was no dog. Simon: Lucky for me, you have a mind of your own.

Annie: (to Eric) You wanna talk dog with Simon or puberty with Lucy? Simon: Can I have Mom, please Dad, please?

Eric: So you took up plumbing when we were pregnant with Simon? Annie: No, Electrical and Plumbing was Mary, Simon was Ethnic Cooking.

Annie: Wanna come with me under the kitchen sink? Eric: I'd go anywhere with you babe.

Eric: (to Matt) We play you win, we don't talk, or, we play I win, we talk. Matt: But I've never beaten you. Eric: Exactly.

Eric: (to Lucy) You're looking awfully grown up these days. Lucy: (to her family) I'm not a baby you know, I want to eat in my room.

Simon: May I please say the blessing now? Annie: What's your hurry you got a date? Matt: I hope he doesn't because I need the car. Mary: I thought you were gonna help be with my foul shot. Simon: Dear God, thank you for this food and if their really is a God, God I know you'll find a way to get me that dog I wanted. Eric: Well let me assure you there really is a God and secondly congratulation on going over our heads to get what you wanted. Simon: You know dog is God spelled backwards.
