7th Heaven

Annie: Well, I don't know what Christy's parents are fighting about, but whatever it is it can't be more important than their daughter. Don't they see how their fighting is affecting her? Eric: You know, there are a lot of parents who believe that as long as they are not yelling at their kids their kids aren't affected by their yelling. They don't seem to understand that a parent's relationship with each other affects their children for the rest of their lives. If we can learn how to have a good relationship from our parents, we can learn how to have a bad relationship from them too. Annie: Thanks, but of course, I know all that, which is one of the many reasons they asked me to teach. Eric: Hey, I'm just trying to be supportive. Ruthie: (to Eric and Annie) You know, you guys fight a lot. Annie: Do we fight a lot? Eric: Maybe, I don't know. Annie: You don't know if we fight a lot? Eric: I don't know what answer won't cause a fight. Maybe I need to find a better way to communicate with you. Annie: And maybe if I take hormones everything will go back to normal? Eric: I didn't say that. Annie: But you wanted to. Eric: No, I didn't. I want you to do whatever you need to do. And I want us to stop fighting. Annie: But we've always had fights, and we're always gonna fight. Eric: Well, then maybe we need to find ways to fight that are more productive and friendly. Annie: You're right. Eric: I honestly was just trying to help. Annie: But I don't always need your help. I want to solve my own problems by myself. Eric: We're a team. A good team. We've always worked together and our relationship has been the better for it. Annie: But lately I feel the need to have things that are just mine...and I'm going to try to be nicer. Eric: And I'm going to be more considerate of your feelings. Annie: I do love you. Eric: I love you, too. Annie: I guess we need to show it more, huh?

Ms. Mackoul: (to Annie) Did you tell a student that her parents should get divorced? When Christy Parks' mother picked her up at school today, she told her mother that you said her parents should get a divorce. Now her mother is very upset. She just left my office...what exactly did you tell Christy?

Eric: (to Cheryl) And Matt was a little lost last year, but ever since he started dating you, he's changed. He's become more focused and he's... he's happy. I'm a little surprised that you don't see that you really have made his life better. And anything that makes his life better makes me and Annie very happy.

Lucy: Robbie and I could only be friends. There's just too much history with him and my family and...you. Cheryl: If you know how you feel, tell him.
