7th Heaven

Lucy: It is my fault! It's all my fault! Nothing will ever be the same again! Nothing! (Lucy runs up to her room) Eric: It'll take awhile. Annie: I know. But I'm glad that she has awhile to take.

Sgt. Michaels: There's been an accident. Eric: Tell me it's not Lucy. Sgt. Michaels: No. But the girl does go to Lucy's high school. Their car smashed into a telephone pole. One girl was killed instantly. The other one survived, but she's not in good shape. Evidently, they were trying to dodge a kid who ran in the middle of the street. Eric: Which one? Sgt. Michaels: Sarah. Just fourteen years old. This is gonna be a tough call to make, Rev. I was hoping you'd go with me.

Lucy: Well, I'm going whether I have permission or not! Mary: Dream on, little rebel!

Lucy: What's going on? Sarah: Matt was gonna drop Lucy off at Pete's and pick her up. Jen: That's okay, Luce, not to worry. We'll just meet you over at Pete's and drive to the hamburger place. Who's gonna know? Lucy: Yeah, who's gonna know?

Lucy: (talking to Wilson) That's so weird. I feel the exact same way, like every single person on this earth is one second away from leaving the planet, me included. And you know, it's like there must be a reason I'm here. God must have had a reason for keeping me here. Otherwise, why wouldn't I have been in that car? Wilson: Right after my wife died, I felt the exact same way. Why didn't I die? Why her? Why did she have to suffer through such a difficult labor and then die in the end?

Mary: You know, Dad deals with that kind of stuff all the time. Lucy: Yeah, he's a professional. That's just the thing--I don't want to be treated like anyone else who has lost someone. I'm not like anyone else.

Eric: Jen's getting out of the hospital in a couple of days. Maybe then she'll feel like having some company. Lucy: If you're hinting as to whether or not I want to go over there, no. I wouldn't know what to say to her. Eric: Well, you know, you could-- Lucy: No, Dad. Please...just don't.

Annie: What's going on? Lucy: Nothing, I'm just cleaning. Annie: You know, I like to clean when I'm having a hard time, too. Lucy: I'm just cleaning to be cleaning. But I feel like I'll never be able to clean again without someone thinking I'm having a hard time!

Mary: You want to talk to Lucy? Why can't you just talk to me? Wilson: No offense, Mary...but you're just not a member of the club.

Annie: How's Jen doing? Any word? Eric: I just got off the phone with her parents; she's still in the hospital. Her leg's going to be okay. But she's got a heavy burden to carry, and... and unfortunately, it could take years to develop the strength for it. Having to be there for Jen is what's keeping the parents going. They're just so grateful they didn't lose her too...what, Annie? Annie: I just keep thinking that Lucy could have been in that car, too.

Eric: You know, I realize everyone has to grieve in their own way, but it just kills me to see Lucy like this. Any other time in her life...she's full of emotions. I mean, she cries about everything. But not this. Annie: She just can't seem to cry. I guess she's afraid that if she starts, she might not be able to stop.

Mary: Why don't you talk to Mom? I mean, she just went through the same thing, kind of, when Grandma died. Lucy: That's different. I mean, I know it was hard, but Grandma lived a long time. You could at least say she had a good life. What can you say about Sarah?

Mary: You're mad at Lucy? Mad about what? Matt: I think she was going to run off with those girls. They weren't going to get a pizza. Mary: You don't know that. Matt: Yeah, I do. It was written all over her face when I dropped her off, but I didn't press her on it. She was trying to trick me. How do you think I would have felt if she had been in that car? She could have been killed, too! Lucy: (walks in crying) You think I don't know that? You don't think that if they hadn't been on their way to pick me up, Sarah would still be alive and she wouldn't have died? Matt: Sarah died because she was driving the car and the kid ran out in front of her! Lucy: I know that! And that's my fault too; it's all my fault!

Mary: I already told you no. Lucy: Please! If you do this for me, I'll do anything you want for a week....two weeks? Thirty days! Mary: Ok. Thirty days. It's a deal.

Eric: I don't know about this. Annie: Is this about the car and the sisters? Lucy: But Mom, Mary's gonna come with us! Annie: You know, believe it or not, I love Mary too, and I don't want either of you in a car with a girl I don't know who just got her license.

Lucy: Come on Dad, it will be like two sisters out with two sisters, and hey, maybe we'll even find two brothers out with two brothers! (Eric gives her a look) Ok, so maybe I shouldn't have mentioned the brothers part...
