7th Heaven s01e03 Episode Script

- Hi, sweetie.
- Hey, Mom.
- How are you? - I'm good.
- Morning.
- How are you, Mary? Not too much sugar, OK? Well, thank you very much.
- Oh, man! I can't believe it.
- What? - Moon Rocks! I got Moon Rocks.
- It's a miracle.
No, it's not.
It says right here.
"Special surprise inside every box.
" I didn't know that.
I thought you had to send away for it.
What are the odds of the prize being in my bowl? - You're the only one who eats that.
- Yeah, but, still, this is incredible.
- I must be lucky.
- Uh, well, Simon, I think you are lucky because your dad and I have another surprise for you.
- Bunk beds? - Yes.
After ten years, we've taken the hint, so while Grandma and Grandpa stay here, Matt's going to sleep on the couch.
So, Grandpa can have the top bunk, Grandma can have the bottom.
- I don't mind sleeping on the floor.
- We won't make you sleep on the floor.
But you're going to make me do something, right? Right.
Here's how Mom and I worked it out.
Grandma and Grandpa should be more comfortable in Ruthie's room.
But where is Ruthie gonna sleep? My room? I sleep walk.
[LAUGHS.]
What? Dad, I know I should have told you sooner, but I sleep walk.
And I might walk on Ruthie one night.
It just wouldn't be safe for her to move in with me.
- Am I moving? - Yes, Ruthie you are.
You didn't forget what we talked about? - Of course not.
What? - You know.
How you're going to keep Dad away from me and Jimmy tonight.
Yeah, you've got a big date, right? It's not a date.
We're just going to watch a video.
- Mm-hm.
- So what's the plan? I volunteered your dad and grandpa for the Meals on Wheels deliveries.
Knowing them, I figure afterwards they'll end up at the pool hall, so - Not just out of the living room - Out of the house.
I'm rather proud of this one myself.
Plus I'll get some time with my mom.
- You're the greatest.
- Thank you, I try.
So what are you and Jeff up to tonight? That's right.
I'm prying.
It's my job, my duty, my life.
I don't know.
We don't have any plans.
We just might drop by a party or something.
- Oh, whose party? - Have we met these people? - I don't think so.
- Is it for older kids? - I don't know.
- Is alcohol allowed? I'm not sure.
It's just a party.
The guy throwing it didn't hand out his biography.
Autobiography.
If he had, you might've had a shot at going.
- Dad.
- Sorry, it's not going to happen.
- What do I to tell Jeff? - The truth, that we said no.
- He knows who your parents are.
- The people trying to ruin my life.
Not only trying, but sometimes succeeding.
So what time's Prince Charming swinging by tonight? - 7.
30.
- Good, I should be back by then.
[SIGHS.]
Uh Honey, you know if you and Dad want to stay out a little longer, I'd love some time with my mom.
Then poor Lucy would be left all alone with Jimmy.
[PHONE.]
So, Dad, should I pick up Grandma and Grandpa at the airport later? - I don't think so, Matt.
- Why not? You're on restriction for staying out all night.
You can drive to school and the library.
We agreed.
I don't think I had any say in the matter.
Oh.
And you thought you would? - Everything OK? - I guess so.
That was my dad.
My parents aren't coming out until next weekend.
They have some things to take care of.
- Is it the leukaemia? - I don't know.
Maybe they just have some things to take care of, like your dad said.
Yeah, maybe.
But I don't have a good feeling about this.
I'm sure your mom's fine but if it makes you feel better, why don't you fly to Arizona and check out the situation yourself? - You think so? - Yeah, I do.
I can handle things here.
Oh, what about Meals on Wheels? Unless you guys want me to drop a Pop Tart off on the way to school, I'm not allowed to drive.
I think we could make an exception.
- I'd be willing if you're willing.
- I think he's willing.
- Well, then, we're agreed.
- Fine.
Thanks.
Do you have to do that now? Why can't you wait until I come home from school to move in? I have a lot of stuff.
It's going to take me all day.
I can't believe they won't let me go to this party.
Just because they're nerds, they make me one too.
What do you think of these? They look like shoes.
Everyone's going to be at this party.
What are you going to do? I'll see if Jeff wants to see Striptease instead.
- Isn't that an "R" movie? - So? - You're not allowed.
- That's not the point.
It's to avoid looking like a geek who does everything her parents tell her to.
Hi, Grandma and Grandpa aren't going to be coming this weekend so I'm going to fly to Arizona and surprise them.
- Is something wrong? - No, nothing's wrong.
I just haven't been home a while and I kind of want to go.
- I'll only be a night or two.
- Will they come back with you? - I don't know.
Maybe.
- Well, give them a hug for me.
- Me, too.
- You guys take care.
And no fighting, OK? - What are you so happy about? - Don't you get it? Mom's going to be in Arizona, Dad's delivering Church food.
This is going to be great.
I forgot, Matt volunteered for Meals on Wheels so Dad will be around tonight.
I told Dad Jimmy is your date, not his, and he promised to leave you alone, OK? - Yeah.
Great.
Thanks.
- It'll be fine.
My life is ruined.
I don't know about your life, but your date is.
Thanks a lot.
Remember the first time a guy came to see me? Dad got his guitar, played every country song he knew and the guy ran out like he was on fire.
You can't let this happen to me.
I'm not as strong as you, I'll be scarred for life.
- It's out of my hands.
- No, it isn't.
Can't you change your date with Jeff to tomorrow? Please.
I don't want to.
Besides you can handle it.
- I can't.
You have to do this.
- I don't have to do anything.
Well I know you don't, but if you would I promise never to mention the R-rated movie.
- You wouldn't.
- Yes, I would.
This is the most important night of my life.
Thank you.
Mom, maybe Ruthie should wait until next week to move in, when Grandma and Grandpa come.
No, it's a good idea for you guys to have a little time to get settled.
- Can I go with you to Arizona? - Oh, honey, not this time.
But you're going to be just fine.
- Daddy will take care of everything.
- Is he going to cook? [SIGHS.]
How could a lucky day go so wrong? Hey, Simon, no fighting while I'm gone.
OK.
We'll wait till you get home.
- BOY: Hey, Mary.
- Hey.
What time should I pick you up for the party tonight? Would it be a big deal if we went out tomorrow instead? - The party's tonight.
- I know, but my mom's out of town and my sister's first real date is coming over and someone has to run interference with her for my dad.
It's a sister thing.
I'm supposed to blow off this party cos of a sister thing? No, you should go.
And tomorrow we'll see Striptease.
I already saw Striptease with Matt.
You could've at least told me sooner.
I just found out my mom was leaving this morning.
- Yeah, well - I've gotta go.
Matt's waiting for me.
Mom never does this.
Yeah.
[MARY COUGHS.]
Hey, Mary, how ya doin'? Great.
- I'll see you later? - I'll pick you up after work.
OK, don't be late.
- Nice.
- Hm.
Since you're not allowed to drive anywhere except to school, how exactly are you going to pick her up? Hm.
- WOMAN ON PA: Shuttle now boarding.
- [RINGING TONE.]
Please have your boarding passes ready.
- Why can't they go in the closet? - They can't breathe in there.
Well, I don't like them eyeballing me all the time.
I'm sorry they scared you.
They can't help it.
Let's get something straight, I am not scared of a bunch of dolls.
I just like to have a little privacy.
OK.
OK what? - I should have taught you better.
- What do you mean? You're older than Ruthie, Simon.
You're top dog now.
Yeah? What does that mean to me exactly? You can make Ruthie do anything you want.
Remember my rule of time? Ruthie, you wanna go downstairs and get my backpack? - I'm doing something.
- You have to.
It's not five o'clock yet and you're five.
Everything before five o'clock is your responsibility.
OK.
Very good, Grasshopper.
I'll clear my throat [COUGHS.]
That'll be the signal for you to get Dad out.
I wasn't raised by wolves.
I'll know when.
I know.
I'm just nervous about being kissed.
- Kissed? What do you mean, kissed? - His lips, my lips, sparks, passion.
You are way to young to be getting kissed.
Too bad.
I wouldn't have thought about it if you hadn't made it sound so good.
What made it so good was waiting so long to do it.
I'm 14 and I just got kissed.
Well, I'm not six feet tall so I don't have to wait.
You begged me to cancel my date so you could suck face with Jimmy Moon? There's no way Mom or Dad would let you go to that party, so if you want to be mad, be mad at them.
Do you guys need anything? It's not five o'clock yet.
- And? - And I'm five.
- And? - Simon says I'm responsible for everything before five o'clock.
Really? Well, go tell Simon nice try, but you are not his personal valet.
OK.
[DOORBELL.]
Hello? Mom? Dad? Mom? ANNIE: You have no patients registered by that name? None? OK.
Thank you for checking.
- [DOOR OPENS.]
- [LAUGHTER.]
- Annie? - Annie, what are you doing here? I've called every hospital in this area code.
- Oh, Annie.
- You had me worried out of my mind.
You're upset because I'm not in a hospital? When you called and cancelled, - I was afraid something was wrong - OK, I understand.
I'm sorry you had to fly out for nothing.
I didn't fly out here for nothing, Mom, I'm glad to see you.
Well, me, you, too.
I was hoping that maybe I could help you and you could come back with me.
I have a house full of people who want to see you.
We could cancel the hot-air balloon.
We'd lose the deposit, but so what? Do you have any water parks near your house? - Two, why? - OK, it's all settled.
Let's go.
- Wait a minute, now? - Why not? We don't have reservations.
Oh, please.
First class is never filled.
- First class? - It's the only way to fly.
What are we waiting for? I'm starved.
We've heard there's a new restaurant out there that's wonderful.
It'll be fun.
Wait, the last flight is at six o'clock.
- There's no way we can eat and pack.
- We won't pack.
We'll just take the kids to the mall tomorrow and buy a few things.
OK, heck, we'll buy a whole lot of things, OK? Mom, don't you need to rest first? I'll be resting soon enough.
Come on, let's go.
Come on, come on.
- Here's your bag.
- I wish you'd stop joking around.
Why? I mean, I love you, kid, but you're slowing us down.
The kitchen's on Third Street.
They're expecting you.
- I can handle this.
- I know you can.
And if you get lost, call.
- A lot of people rely on this service.
- You told me.
Tell Mrs Michaels I can get her a ride for Sunday, - but she has to be ready by ten.
- Mrs Michaels, ready by ten.
I know driving the Meals on Wheels' van isn't high on the list of things you want to do tonight, but I really, really appreciate it.
You're doing a good thing.
I'm proud of you.
Is there any way I could get off car restriction just a little sooner? Let's not wallow in all this sentiment.
Let me just say no.
Anyway, the guys at the seminary and I, we'd just clear out the refrigerator and throw everything into one big bowl, cover it with cheese, because Because cheese covers a myriad of sins.
- Right, and that's how.
- Combat Casserole was born.
- Those guys were something else.
- Yeah, so you said.
Dad, I think this could use a little salt.
Oh, hang on, I'll get it.
SIMON: Happy.
Happy, come here.
- Happy, come on.
Happy.
- [HAPPY GROANS.]
By the way, the pizza will be here in five minutes so don't fill up.
Yeah! Hi.
Glenoak Community Church.
- You wanna come in? - Sorry, I'm on a tight schedule.
See ya.
GRANDMA: We don't have to rush.
Our flight won't be leaving for an hour.
Cheers.
Now this, this is nice.
I like the Montrachet we tried yesterday better.
- When did you start drinking wine? - Yesterday.
- Small house salad.
- Thank you.
- And two Filet Mignon.
- Oh, this looks wonderful.
Aren't you supposed to be watching your cholesterol? Not any more I'm not.
Hoowie only goes to Mary's games cos he likes the hot dogs they sell there.
How many did you eat last time? Oh, about 100.
- Who are you talking to? - Hoowie.
- I don't see any Hoowie.
- Well, you don't see him, you hear him, because he snores.
Don't worry, Happy and I won't hear him up here.
How's Happy gonna get on the top bunk? [HAPPY BARKS.]
Pack it up, Sister.
You're moving to the penthouse.
No.
I am not your personal ballet.
[BLUES TUNE.]
Hey.
I'll be done in a minute.
I just have to punch out.
- No problem.
Take your time.
- You know, I've been wanting to go out with you for a long time.
- How'd you get off restriction? - Experience.
[DOORBELL.]
All yours.
[SIGHS.]
- Hi, Jimmy.
- Hi.
- Come on in.
- OK.
- You remember my dad.
- Oh, yeah.
The God guy.
Hey.
I can see how you charmed my daughter.
So did you bring your little videos? It's the director's cut of a French film that hasn't been released yet.
That sounds interesting.
Maybe I'll pull up a bowl of popcorn and join you.
Not necessary.
I copied one for you.
OK, Jimbo, you've drawn first blood.
But it's only the first round.
Boxing metaphor.
[LUCY COUGHS.]
Can I get you something for your throat? No, I'm fine.
Besides, I know you were on your way upstairs, so Oh, sure.
OK, well, I'll see you later, Jimmy.
See you, Reverend.
Enjoy the movie.
Sorry.
My mom was supposed to take care of him.
OK.
How about this? I'll move everything, and I mean everything, for you.
Uh-uh.
I don't want to sleep up there.
Hoowie will be with you every night.
Uh-uh.
Sometimes he loads luggage at the airport.
OK, I'll give you my Moon Rocks.
- No.
- What? No, thank you.
What is wrong with you? We're talking about Moon Rocks here.
From the moon! [WHINES.]
French fry? [ROMANTIC FRENCH SONG.]
- Any idea where your brother is? - Maybe he got lost.
Maybe.
- What are you doing with that? - I was just downstairs by the love den, and I think now's a really good time for some of your greatest hits.
But, gee, if I go down to the "love den" and play the guitar, I might wreck the date.
I'd hate to cramp Jimbo's style.
- Just a suggestion.
- Just? Are you kidding? It's inspired.
That's why you're my favourite.
- Really? - Sure, right now.
Come on.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
Excuse me.
Can I help you with something? I smell Salisbury steak.
You got Salisbury steak in there? - Not any more.
We're not in service.
- Oh.
- Here.
- Oh, thanks.
No problem.
- That was amazing.
- Huh? The way you handled that like a man.
- You realise this is what I'm driving? - I don't care.
Thanks.
[POLICE RADIO CRACKLES.]
You want one? Uh No, thanks.
I'm the designated underage driver.
- [SMASHING.]
- [DIANA GROANS.]
[ROMANTIC MUSIC CONTINUES.]
Won't you come home, Bill Bailey, won't you come home No, no.
Uh Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah.
Someone's in the kitchen No, no, no.
[ROMANTIC MUSIC CONTINUES.]
[PLAYS GUITAR.]
Froggy went a courtin' and he did ride Uh-hum, uh-hum Froggy went a courtin' and he did ride Uh-hum, u-hum Everybody! - Froggy went a courtin' and he did ride - [ROMANTIC MUSIC CONTINUES.]
Uh-hum, u-hum, u-hum - Yeehaw! - Everybody.
He rode up to Miss Mousey's door Uh-hum [JIMMY SIGHS.]
Just ignore it.
I can't.
You made him do this, didn't you? - Maybe.
- It was just a warning.
- Ruthie won't move.
- He's trying to make me sleep on top.
- What? - Mary's going to an "R" rated movie.
- What? - I am not.
Is the date over? LUCY: Thanks.
You always ruin everything.
- I guess so.
- [SIGHS.]
Come on, I'll drive you home.
It'll be fun.
We'll talk, we'll laugh, one of us might cry.
[PHONE.]
Hello.
Matt? Where are you? Are you all right? I'll be right there.
OK, your turn.
Call your parents.
- They're not going to like this.
- I know, I've done this before.
Yeah, me too.
- Aren't you the minister's son? - Yes, sir.
I thought you were on restriction.
I have his permission to drive the van.
- And his permission to drink and drive? - I wasn't drinking.
Well, that's an interesting cologne you're wearing.
Step outside.
When Mom finds out what you did you're gonna be in big trouble.
Right.
Will that be before or after I tell her about your idea for the evening, Hot Lips? - You'd tell her? - I don't have to, Dad will.
If he tells her about my kissing, he'll tell her about your R-rated movie.
I don't care.
Soon, Jeff and I are gonna go out and when we do, - we're going to kiss like crazy.
- I don't care either.
Jimmy said he'd call when he gets home and we'll set up another date.
Oh, yeah, I'd count on that.
Who drove Jimmy home? - Dad.
- Game, set and match.
SIMON: Dad said go to bed.
I can't.
You're on my side.
You wanna know why? Because your side is on the top bunk.
- It is not.
- It is too.
- Don't smush me.
- Well, stop breathing all over me.
It's not me, it's Happy.
Happy is not the one who is going to leave, you are.
- Happy left.
- I can see that.
Hello.
We're back.
Is anybody home? - Kids? - Hello! Hey, Grandpa! - Where's Dad? - Hey, Grandma! - He took Jimmy home.
- Oh.
Hey, hey, what's in the bags? Something Grandma and I picked up at the airport.
Where's Matt? All the CDs are for him.
I think he had a little trouble with the van.
Uh-huh? Well, he won't mind if we just open them before he comes home, will he? Hey, Grandpa, you'll never ever guess what happened to me today.
I got the prize in the cereal box.
Look what it is, it's Moon Rocks! Moon Rocks? Those things have been around forever.
They're not really moon rocks, they're just chemicals.
[COUGHING.]
that come from the moon.
It's the greatest prize ever.
You're lucky.
Yeah, yeah, that's what I thought.
Oh, honey, I'm sorry but it's way past your bedtime.
Say good night to everyone.
It's time to go to bed.
- I can't.
- Yes, you can.
You just won't.
- I will, just not where you say.
- Hey, you won't even try it.
Hey, what is going on? Why are you fighting with your sister? We're not having a fight.
This is just a minor disagreement.
See, Mary and Lucy, now they are having a fight.
Is this what happens when I'm not here? Everyone fights? Yeah.
- Reverend.
- Hi, Bob.
You'll be pleased to know that the test showed no trace of alcohol.
OK, thank you.
What? Did you get lost, Matt? Cos I don't remember the diner being on your list of deliveries.
You, stay away from my daughter.
I should've know better, the minister's son.
Great, just great.
- Do I smell beer? - Dad, I can explain.
I'm looking forward to it.
None of this would've happened if you had let me use the car.
Don't even think about blaming me.
You are never gonna drive my car again! - I'll take her, Dad.
- I don't know anything.
That's OK, sweetheart, it's time for both of you to go to bed.
- Wait, I didn't get my ice cream yet.
- I'll let you eat it in bed.
- Which bed? - Top bunk.
Dad will put Happy up there when he gets home from wherever he is.
- Can I still have the Moon Rocks? - No.
Love you.
- Did you get anything out of Ruthie? - Not a word.
The kid's a clam.
I have no idea where they are.
- then Dad left to go get him.
- Are Matt and the girl OK? I think so.
He didn't call from the hospital.
- Your dad must've been furious.
- His head almost came off.
Poor Matt that he has to go through this all by himself.
Well, it's not like he has someone to confide in.
- You know, you have each other.
- Yeah, I know.
Someone always on your side, always looking after you.
But it's hard to have to go through it all by yourself.
You're lucky you don't have to.
Yeah.
I didn't know Matt had a date.
I was going to tell you, but I was too mad.
I wouldn't have told me either.
In fact, after I told Dad about the "R" movie, I wouldn't blame you if you never told me anything again.
But I hope you do.
Do you think Grandma and Grandpa are acting weird? A little.
But the whole family's weird.
[RUTHIE SNORES.]
- Hi.
- Hi.
Thanks, Grandma.
I really appreciate your sharing your room with Ruthie so that Grandpa and I can have a room of our own.
It's OK.
Now, I know it's been hard, but it's a sure sign you're growing up.
You know, the real mark of a man is when he will sacrifice and share what he loves the most with his family.
You're right, Grandma.
Give these Moon Rocks to Grandpa.
Oh, honey.
He'll be thrilled.
- Good night.
- Good night, Grandma.
Bravo! Bravo! It's time for bed.
Sorry.
- Good night, Grandpa.
- Good night, Lucy.
- Good night, Mary.
I love you.
- Love you too.
- Sweet dreams, girls.
- Good night, Grandma.
- I love you.
- I love you too.
If you two want to go to bed.
I'll wait up for Eric and Matt.
I'd like to stick around.
How about you? - Yeah, I'm in.
- Oh! - That was quick.
- You missed out on all the fun.
We flew first class and brought presents back for everyone.
My husband.
Where's Matt? Matt had a little trouble with the van.
He should be here any minute.
And I'm going to head up.
I'm kinda beat.
- We'll catch you in the morning.
- Eric, when he comes in, talk with him and forgive him.
Life is too short.
I can't believe that kid.
- Give him time.
He'll make you madder.
- This isn't funny.
I'm sorry.
I just had such a great time with my parents.
See, Happy, I told you Hoowie was make-believe.
Night, Simon.
Love you.
Yeah.
I love you too.
But we don't have to say it every night.
The kid knows wrong from right.
He understands consequences, yet if there's a bad choice to be made, bam, Matt is right there.
What's your guitar doing out? Honey, you promised.
I know, I just couldn't help myself.
So it runs in the family.
That seems to be the problem with everyone.
They know the right thing to do, but no matter how hard they try, sometimes they just can't help themselves.
And I know I shouldn't be this angry, but I just can't help myself.
Can I talk to you for a minute? - Five minutes.
- Thank you.
Tell your sister Jimmy said he'd call tomorrow.
Thanks, Dad.
- Hear what Dad said about Jimmy? - Uh-huh.
After a car ride with Dad, that's a miracle.
I know.
So when do you think I'll be old enough to get kissed? - I'll let you know.
- Yeah, I'll hold my breath.
So, how was the party? It would've been better if you were there.
Listen, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry that I got mad about you wanting to stay home with Lucy.
- I know how important she is to you.
- She is, but to tell you the truth, I kind of used her as an excuse to stay home cos my parents weren't going to let me go to the party.
- You know how they are.
- Oh, yeah.
You should've told me.
We could've gone to a movie or something.
Well, after tonight I have a feeling that movies are out for a while, too.
I'm sure we can figure out something to do.
Yeah, I bet we will.
LUCY: Time's up.
She's guessing.
[GRANDPA HUMS TUNE.]
How are you doing? Well, I'm a little tired, but I've had a wonderful day.
I'm so glad Annie came and got us.
Remember when we had to pick her up from camp because she was homesick? And we taught her that silly song to make her feel better.
Hello, Muddah Hello, Faddah Here I am at Camp Granada I am such a lucky woman.
I have you, I have Annie and I have this family.
I'm luckier.
I've got all that and Moon Rocks.
[GRANDMA LAUGHS.]
I love you very much.
For reasons I have yet to figure out, I love you, too.
[GRANDMA SIGHS.]
Give me a minute, OK? I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to disturb you.
I don't mind being disturbed.
Life is full of disturbances.
Yeah, I'm getting that.
How are you feeling? Tired.
And very, very happy.
How about you? How are you feeling? I messed up.
I don't know how Dad will trust me again.
I'm such an idiot! Hey, that's my grandson you're talking about.
And he is not an idiot.
He's just a How long you think it'll take? Well, if you're anything like your grandmother, - it could take 50 or 60 years, I guess.
- [BOTH LAUGH.]
The important thing is to keep looking.
OK? GRANDMA: Ooh.
Well, now, if you gentlemen will excuse me, I'm going to bed now.
- Good night.
- Good night.
He loves you.
Good night.
Good night.
You know, I don't think I ever apologised to you for tonight.
No, you didn't, but then I didn't give you much of a chance.
I'm sorry, Dad.
It was all my fault.
I'm a total screw-up.
Not total.
I love you, Annie, but I have to go now.
Mom? She's passed on, Annie.
She's gone.
[ANNIE SOBS.]
