7th Heaven s01e04 Episode Script

NARRA TOR: Previously on 7th Heaven: This is my friend, Renee.
Are you two gonna have a baby? I'm having a baby, but Matt's not the father.
Is Grandma going to die? She's been diagnosed with a form of leukaemia that's very hard to treat at this advanced stage.
She's passed on, Annie.
She's gone.
[BELL TOLLS.]
MAN: All right, thank you.
[SNORING.]
- She loved you too.
- I'm glad you decided to bury her here.
It's nice to have her close to the family.
All right, I think, he never talks about his emotions very much, you know.
How are you doing? Thank you so much.
Thanks for coming, you two.
- Now stay strong.
- See you.
- The Munchkins are still conked.
- Oh.
Good.
- Poor things.
They're exhausted.
- So am I.
Me, too.
I feel like I could sleep for a week.
It's been a rough time for all of us.
Don't worry.
You're going to be OK.
Wouldn't this work better if I were consoling you? You're the minister.
We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day.
The music, the flowers, were perfect.
I think Mom would've approved.
I think she would have preferred to be sitting with the rest of us.
- Somebody order a cab? - That would be for me.
Daddy, what is going on? I've got a million things to do at the office, and the fish have to be fed.
Plus, it's not like there's anything else for me to do here.
Daddy, wait.
I thought you'd stay a couple of days with us.
What's the rush? No, don't try to talk me out of it, Annie-mame.
My mind is made up.
Bye-bye.
Goodbye, kids! - [CHATTER.]
- [BARKING.]
Oh, no.
The Casserole Patrol.
Wake up, sleepyhead, we're home.
I hope you guys like lime Jello.
Where's Grandpa? Well, I'm sorry, Simon, but he's gone.
- Wow, him, too? - To Phoenix, Simon.
He went back to Phoenix.
- I thought you guys meant - C'mon, Simon.
I can't believe Daddy.
- He's not himself.
- Yes, he is.
Unfortunately, he's exactly himself.
MAN: Hi, how are you? ANNIE: Hi, Walter, how are you? MAN: Thanks for coming.
WOMAN: It's so good to see you.
Thank you.
I expect you two to pitch in with the food and the guests, OK? - Your mom really needs your help today.
- OK.
Hey, Dad, why is everyone bringing food? It's kind of a tradition when someone dies.
When it feels as if there's nothing you can say or do, - bringing food shows that you care.
- Oh.
Boy, Grandpa missed the good part.
Oh, hi, Mrs Morgan.
Yes, he just had to Don't worry.
He isn't dead.
He just had to go back to Phoenix.
Thanks.
- MATT: How's the mother-to-be? - RENEE: Fine.
Where's Lou? Practising diapering technique? You laugh, but I'm glad your mom recommended those classes.
There's so much stuff you have to know.
With four brothers and sisters, I could teach a class myself.
You'll get plenty of training here.
- Great.
- So where is the dad-to-be? He and my dad went to a comic-book convention.
Thank you for singing at the service.
It was the least I could do with all this family has done for me.
I wish you got to know my mom.
She was so special.
I liked your eulogy, about all you learned from her.
Yeah, she was an incredible role model.
Yeah, the only thing I learned from my mom was how to leave.
There you go, Susie Q.
Cream and sugar.
- Aw! Thankum, Stevie.
- You're welkies.
Well, I guess I don't have to ask how you two enjoy married life.
- Is it six months since the wedding? - Seven.
And a half.
You look like a couple of newlyweds.
Guess I tied a pretty good knot.
- You sure did.
Gonna last a lifetime.
- You betcha it is.
It doesn't hurt that I got the best wife in the world.
Oh! Stevie.
ANNIE: How's your mother? Matt.
Excuse me.
Would you please make the rounds with the coffee pot? - See if anybody needs anything? - Sure.
I told Jeff I'd come by today, so after I pour coffee, maybe I'll take off.
- I don't think so.
Not today.
- Why not? - I want you with the family.
- Grandpa left.
Why can't I? I don't need this from you right now.
Mommy? - Yes, honey? - Will you sing me Grandma's song? Not right now, OK? I'll sing it for you later.
I promise.
I don't think I'm up to this.
I miss Grandma.
I know.
Me, too.
- I'm gonna sit here and feel awful.
- If I sat there like that, I'd go nuts.
- [PHONE.]
- I gotta keep busy.
Hello.
Hi, Jeff.
It's for Mary.
Um Well, she's kinda busy right now.
So, where's your father? - He went back to Phoenix.
- You have family there.
Well, no, not exactly.
He had some business that he had to go back for.
And the fish.
- He went fishing? - Well, no, not really, he What is it, Simon? Mom, where exactly did Grandma go when she died? Well, Simon, remember we've talked about heaven? A place where good people go, where they're surrounded by so much love.
Right, right.
But I need to know where that is.
Well, you know, it's up there.
I was hoping you could be a little bit more specific than that.
I don't want the quiche.
Where's heaven? Clingy? Men aren't clingy.
Women are clingy.
He's gotten clingy.
I liked him better when we were just friends.
I'll talk to him, straighten him out.
No, I'll talk to him.
If I'm ready to kiss a guy, I'm ready to break up with him by myself.
What? I can't believe you're just gonna dump him.
This will make things weird between me and him.
Should I stay with him so you don't have to feel weird? - You're confused because of Grandma.
- No, I'm not.
Promise me you won't do it today.
- I'm going to be here all day.
- Just promise.
- All right, all right.
I promise.
- Good.
But I'm not gonna change my mind.
Heaven isn't an exact geographical place like Iowa or France.
- It's more of a spiritual place.
- Uh-huh.
Simon, you're not paying attention.
I'm sorry, Dad.
It's just that lady over there.
She must really be upset over Grandma.
[WOMAN SOBS.]
ERIC: Here you go, Sue.
Oh, Reverend Camden.
Thank you.
Not at all.
Oh! I'm so embarrassed.
I just can't seem to stop crying.
Don't be embarrassed.
It's a sad day.
What? Oh, yes.
Your mother-in-law, I'm so sorry.
I wish I would've known her.
Sometimes our own painful memories of the loss of a loved one can be triggered in a situation like this.
Yes, yes, I'm sure they can, but that's not why I'm crying.
I really wish it were.
Reverend Camden, I just don't know how to tell you this, but my life is such a mess.
My marriage is a sham, and Steven is keeping something from me.
I know it.
Maybe we should set up an appointment for you to come by the office and See, he doesn't even know that I suspect anything, but I know that he's having an affair! Oh, no, what's he doing here? Maybe he came to see Matt.
- Not a chance.
- How can you be so sure? I can smell his cologne over here.
I don't think he put that on for Matt.
How can you break up with a guy who smells so good? - Ah.
- Sorry, Reverend.
I know this is a bad day, but if I don't talk to someone, I'm gonna explode.
OK, well, why don't you just calm down and tell me what's on your mind? Well, I know before in the backyard, you probably thought that Susan and I were the happiest couple in the world.
It's all an act.
Why do you say that? I am acting happy, so that Susan won't know that anything is wrong, but inside, I'm a tortured man.
You're tortured how? I'm tortured because I'm I'm a bigamist.
I see.
See, when I met Susan, I was so in love with her, I didn't want to tell her I'd been married before, and that I wasn't completely divorced, - even though that relationship is over.
- Uh-huh.
And then when Susan and I got engaged, I thought I'd be divorced in time for the wedding, but then the papers, they got hung up.
And then I just couldn't bring myself to ruin our wedding so I went through with it.
- While still married to someone else? - Yeah.
The papers came through afterwards.
The relationship is a done deal, but it's just that I haven't been able to tell Susan.
And she's just so sweet and trusting.
And I just know that if she finds out, - she'll divorce me.
- Well, Steve, I have some good news.
She can't divorce you.
You're not legally married.
You shouldn't even be here! You're way over-anxious! Play hard to get.
Women love that.
No way.
Mary's not like that.
She's not into stupid mind games and stuff.
I know what I'm talking about! Do you want her to think you're clingy? Men aren't clingy.
[KNOCKING.]
- What is it, honey? - Can we sing Grandma's song now? Sure we can.
Well, now, the first time that Grandma taught me this song was when I was a little girl and I was going away to Girl Scout camp for the first time, and I was very scared.
Why? Well, I don't know, I guess because I was afraid of being away from home, you know, and my parents.
Actually, it got to be sort of a family joke cos even when I was grown up, every time anybody went anywhere, Grandma would start humming this song.
Is that why she sang it to me? Because she was going away? Maybe so.
Mrs Camden? I'm so glad I found you.
- What is it Renee? Are you OK? - I think the baby's coming.
- Oh! - [RENEE EXHALES.]
I figured you'd know a bit more about the afterlife than most people, since you're in the business and all.
Sorry.
Have any of your dead bodies ever come back to life? No.
Never have.
Well, if one does, be sure to ask him exactly where he was when he was dead.
Mr Wilbur, I'm sorry to bother you, - but can I borrow your limo? - My limo? - Yeah, come on.
- Hey, Mr Wilbur, wait! Yeah, that's all right.
I'm happy to drive you to the hospital.
It'll be a nice change of pace for me.
Just keep breathing, just keep breathing.
In, out.
That's right, OK.
Sure you don't want me to go with you? No.
Just try to find Lou and Daddy at that comic-book convention.
- OK, keep breathing.
- I'll go with you.
- What? - I'll just stay until Lou gets there.
- I can handle it! - OK, I think we should go.
All right.
All right, keep breathing.
OK.
Cool.
Let's go.
[TYRES SQUEAL.]
- Where are Matt and Renee going? - Hospital.
Her water broke.
Interesting choice, sending Matt along.
I think he wants to prove he can be a responsible grown-up.
It'll be more effective than any birth control lecture we could ever give him.
Yeah.
Hi.
- You got anything to eat? - No.
Not if you don't count all this food.
Never mind.
I've got a lot of stuff I've got to go do.
I'm pretty busy, you know.
Hey, I better go.
Hey, Luce, have you seen your mom? Not lately.
Hey, how's my girl? Not so good.
Feeling pretty sad, huh? Yeah.
You want to talk about it? I just keep thinking it's not fair.
Grandma should be here.
It's like there's a party going on and she wasn't invited.
Luce, I know it feels kind of strange having all these people here, and all this food, but it's not really a party.
It's just a way for people who loved Grandma and your mom to I don't mean this party, Daddy.
I mean life.
Life is going on without her.
It's just not fair.
I know.
Really? The whole solar system is mapped out? I didn't know that.
The whole universe, really.
So you see, there are no unaccounted-for spaces.
When people say "Oh, yeah, heaven is up there", there's really no room for it.
I see what you mean.
I was wondering where you thought it might be.
That's a tough one.
But maybe it's in the fifth dimension.
Interesting.
Do you happen to know where that is? - Any idea where your father is? - No, haven't seen him.
I can't keep track of the men in my life today.
They keep spinning off into oblivion.
- Well, I'm here.
- Oh, yes, you are.
Thanks.
Too bad your grandfather isn't as grown up as you are.
You know, Mom, whenever I'm really mad at Daddy about anything, and I don't even want to see him or talk to him, he makes me tell him what's wrong.
It drives me crazy, but I usually feel better after.
Mary, I really would appreciate it if you would stop being so wise and mature while I'm sulking and feeling sorry for myself.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I'm sorry about your grandmother.
Thanks.
Anyway, I'm really sorry.
I'm really sorry about you and Mary too.
- How come? - Because she dumped you.
What? [SCREAMS.]
Ow! [GROANS.]
It'll be OK.
Just hang in there.
Do you want to do your breathing? No! Yeah.
OK, yeah, I'll try, OK OK.
Trying's good, yeah.
- How you doing? - Better.
I think it's over.
OK, you're doing great.
I'm just going to go outside for a second and see if Lou's there.
I'll be right back.
- Yeah, OK.
Find Lou.
- Yeah, OK, yeah, that's what I'll do.
And I'm sure he's almost here, so don't worry.
In my notes from our pre-nuptial counselling sessions, you listed communication as the most important thing in a marriage.
Do you both still feel that way? Good.
Hey, I agree with you.
If married couples don't communicate, things can get misinterpreted and people can get hurt.
I've found that when we try to sweep things under the rug or pretend they're not there, it can often make matters worse.
Has either of you ever felt that way? Good, good.
Um Now, Susan.
Steve has something he would like to say to you.
- Go ahead.
- I um - I I can't.
- Steve.
Reverend, please, you tell her.
Please.
Never mind! I already know what it is.
You're having an affair, aren't you? - No! - I'm leaving you today! Reverend, tell her! All right, all right.
Susan, Steve would like me to tell you.
There's good news and there's bad news.
Yeah.
Right? GRANDPA: Thanks for calling, please leave a message.
Daddy, it's Annie.
I guess you're not home from the airport yet, but I just wanted to get something off my chest.
I feel like you abandoned me today.
I really needed support, you know? To tell you the truth, I'm pretty angry at you.
I feel like I lost my mother and my father.
I think it's a pretty rotten thing to do and I just thought you ought to know it.
Goodbye.
- Let me talk to Mom.
- MARY: Why? - Don't be stupid.
Let me talk to her.
- I'm not disturbing her.
- She's finally resting.
- Mary, I said - I'm on the phone.
- Let me talk to Dad.
Nobody knows where he is.
When he does show up, Mom needs him.
- How's Renee? - She's in labour.
The baby's coming, and Lou hasn't picked up my You told Mom you could, so you better.
- I can't! - You have to! I'm handling everything down here.
Now get back in there.
[WOMAN ON PA.]
- What do you want? - Never mind.
- [SIGHS.]
- [SMASHING.]
Now what? - Did you hear that? - Yeah.
No problem.
If somebody could just get me a towel.
[SHOUTING.]
I'll only be a minute.
I'll cherish these for ever.
OK.
Hey, thanks very much.
- Bye.
- Oh, you know what? Actually, I do have some follow-up questions, if you don't mind.
- All right.
- OK.
OK, number one: People go to heaven, right? - Yeah.
- Is there a separate heaven for dogs? - WOMAN: Honey? - MAN: Well, that's a good question.
MARY: Hi.
- Need some help? - Sure.
I was just wondering, is there something you wanted to talk to me about? What do you mean? Like, are you upset about anything in particular? You mean other than my grandmother dying? - Yeah.
- No, not really.
You're not upset with me playing hard-to-get? - No.
Not at all.
- Oh, good! That's the last time I listen to Matt about anything.
He said I should play hard-to-get with you.
- I told him it was stupid.
- Yeah, really stupid.
Then Lucy, she has this crazy idea that you wanted to break up with me.
- She did? - Yeah! She really had me worried.
But I'll tell you what, I want to make you a promise here and now.
- I'll never play games like that again.
- That's good.
Just to show you that I'm not kidding and I really mean it, I'd like to ask you something.
Will you go steady with me? Um You know, Jeff, maybe there is something we should talk about.
- [RENEE MOANS.]
- [DOCTOR GIVES INSTRUCTIONS.]
- DOCTOR: Ah! Just in time, Dad.
- I'm not the dad.
Where's Lou? Sorry.
We couldn't find him.
He's not coming.
- Oh no! - OK! The baby's crowning! Looking good, Renee! You want to take a look here, "Not The Dad?" - No! - I should go.
Matt, please, don't go.
I'm scared.
Renee, you can start pushing.
OK, maybe I'll just stay up here at this end.
DOCTOR: Come on, Renee, push! Push! Come on! Push! - I thought you were in there.
- Simon, you shouldn't lurk out here.
I just wanted to make sure I caught you.
May I borrow that? - Yeah, sure.
- Still conducting your inquiry, I see.
- I wanted to talk to you about that.
- Shoot.
- I'm not getting very far.
- I suspected as much.
The thing is, Simon, nobody really knows where heaven is, or what it's like.
- Come on, somebody must know.
- Nope.
I kinda like it that way.
Immortality should be a great and glorious mystery, Simon.
If you knew where it was, if you could just point to it on a map, or go there whenever you wanted, it wouldn't be heaven.
There should only be one way to get in.
Now, I need you to tell me where your mom is.
I don't know, I think she's up.
[BANGING.]
SUSAN: Well, maybe I don't want to marry you anymore.
STEVE: You don't want to marry me? - SUSAN: I didn't say that.
- STEVE: But you married me once.
Do me a favour.
Tell your mom I'll be just a minute, OK? - [SOBBING.]
- Or two.
And, Simon, don't lurk.
Hi, Daddy, I'm really sorry about what I said on the first message.
I'm just really sad and confused.
I miss Mom so much and I miss you.
Where are you? I can't imagine where you could be this late.
I'm really worried about you, Daddy, OK.
So please call me as soon as you get this message.
OK? Hi.
- I didn't know you were still here.
- Well, don't worry, I'm going.
You don't have to go if you don't want to.
I don't want to stay where I'm not welcome.
That's not what I said.
Now you're gonna tell me we can still be friends.
Well, yeah.
[SIGHS.]
I don't believe this.
I've been coming to this house since I was six years old and now all of a sudden it feels weird to be here.
If I knew dating meant we couldn't be friends anymore, I never would've done it.
That's the difference between guys and girls.
I still would have.
Mary, it's just going to take me some time to go back to thinking of you - as Matt's gawky kid sister.
- There's nothing I can do about that.
If I kick your butt in basketball, I'll feel better.
Works for me.
But you've got to spot me six points.
Four, don't push your luck.
[KNOCKING.]
What's this? Dad says when you don't know what to say, but you want to help, you bring food.
Oh, thank you, Simon.
Apparently there is a man around here who I can count on.
- The black olives are for you.
- Very thoughtful.
Thank you.
No problem.
- Get an answer to your question? - Not really.
- Did you ask your dad? - Yeah, frankly he was no help.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
I just wish I knew where Grandma is right now.
I know.
Actually, I wouldn't mind knowing where Grandpa is.
Or Matt.
Or your dad.
Can I have some of that? - [RENEE YELLS.]
- NURSE: Here you go, Doctor.
- RENEE: It hurts! - DOCTOR: Stop pushing, Renee.
- RENEE: I can't.
- Here comes the shoulder.
RENEE: Make it stop! NURSE: Sponge.
- DOCTOR: Suction.
- NURSE: Suction.
- DOCTOR: Stop pushing, Renee.
- I'm trying.
- There she is.
- Blanket's ready.
There she is.
You have a beautiful baby girl, Renee.
- [BABY CRIES.]
- NURSE: Good job, Renee.
- Matt, look.
- I can't.
- Matt, look, she's beautiful.
- No.
- No, I can't.
- Yes, you can.
RENEE: Look at her.
- Wow.
- RENEE: She's precious.
RENEE: Hey, baby, hey.
RENEE: Hi.
Where have you been? You wouldn't believe.
Today of all days.
Every time I turned around, I bumped into another person with a problem.
I have run the gamut from the nature of immortality to bigamy to marital discord.
Remember the Walkers? Annie? Watch out or you might have some marital discord of your own.
I'm feeling just a little abandoned today.
I'm sorry.
I had every intention of being by your side, but somehow I just kept getting distracted.
Occupational hazards, huh? A great example of "Physician, heal thyself.
" - At least you're here now.
- Oh, boy.
I'm sorry, sweetheart, there's just one thing that I have got to take care of and then I promise I'm all yours.
Listen, can you just give me ten minutes, and then meet me at the church? I don't know.
I'm a little tired.
Please.
It's important.
To us.
- OK.
Ten minutes.
- Fantastic.
Oh, and do you know that little white dress you have with the lacy collar and the pearl buttons? Could I borrow it? What are we doing? I'm thinking.
About what? No one seems to know where you go when you die.
- Oh.
I know.
- You don't either.
Mm-hm.
- OK.
Where? - I don't know the name of it, but it's where I was before I was born.
You were in Mom's stomach before you were born.
No.
Before that.
I don't know where that is.
I can't picture Grandma there.
Picture Grandma here, in your heart.
I, Susan, take you, Steven.
- To be my husband.
- To be my husband.
- To have and to hold.
- To have and to hold.
- To love and to cherish.
- To love and to cherish.
- For richer, for poorer.
- For richer, for poorer.
In sickness and in health.
In sickness and in health.
- In good times and bad times.
- In good times and in bad times.
- From this day forward.
- From this day forward.
- Till death us do part.
- Till death us do part.
You You may kiss the bride.
MARY: Oh! JEFF: Second chance.
All right, let's play some pig.
Come on.
- Still here, huh? - Yep.
Still here.
- Can we have our ball back now? - I want to talk to you first.
- Did Renee have her baby? - Yeah, she's fine.
That's part of what I want to talk to you about.
Now, I know you two really like each other and you like kissing each other and all that, but tonight I saw what kissing can lead to.
So I think you'll both understand when I tell you I think you should cool it for a while.
I guess he's right.
Yeah.
OK, yeah, we'll break up, if you think it's a good idea.
Yeah, I do.
You know, for now.
Well, I guess this is it, then.
Yeah.
Thanks, man.
- Yeah, thanks.
- No problem.
Can we have our ball back now? Oh, yeah, sure.
Well, good night.
- Good night.
- Good night.
- Alone at last.
- And worth the wait.
I'm glad to hear you say that.
- I'm sorry I let you down today.
- You didn't.
Not really.
I think you were taking the heat for the sins of the father.
Let's get you home.
You must be exhausted.
You know, you still make a beautiful bride.
You take my breath away.
SIMON: Yum, this is great.
My favourite kind of pie.
- This is so good.
- Should I go with the cherry pie? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
I would've gotten that, but my hands are full.
- Mom! Are you OK? - I'm fine.
I'm carrying my bride across the threshold.
- Hey, you guys want some pie? - I am a little hungry.
- Mom, we've got eight leftover pies.
- Wow.
You know we really should send one to Grandpa.
- He likes apple.
He told me.
- Did he call? - Nope.
- He told me a couple of weeks ago.
Mommy, can we sing Grandma's song now? Yes, sweetie.
Here, I'll tell you what.
We'll go upstairs, we'll wash our face, we'll get in our jammies and I'll sing you Grandma's song.
Yes! Mom! - Matt! How's Renee? - She's fine.
She had the baby.
- Mom, guess what? I helped.
- What? With the birth? Yeah.
- Where was Lou? - He couldn't get back in time.
It was so incredible.
Like a miracle or something.
I know what you mean.
- I can't believe you did it five times.
- Oh, yeah, I definitely did.
- You're really brave.
- Thanks.
So are you.
Man, we were counting on you and you came through.
Hey, did Renee have her baby? Yeah.
She had a girl.
Cool.
Mom, I almost forgot to tell you the coolest part.
- Renee named her baby after Grandma.
- She named her baby Grandma? Her name was Jenny, Simon.
Oh! I had no idea.
RUTHIE: Mommy.
ANNIE: You had a long day, huh? You did a pretty good job.
You got almost all the blueberry off.
- Mommy? - Yeah? - Will you always be here? - What do you mean? Are you going to pass away, like Grandma? Some day I will, but not for a very long time, so you shouldn't worry, OK? Mm-hm.
And I promise you this.
That as long as I'm around, no matter how old you get, you will always be able to count on me.
I'll always be there if you need me, no matter what.
GRANDPA: Annie.
Daddy.
I wish that I had lived up to that same promise you just made Ruthie.
You know, I've never been very good at handling tragedies.
My response to that has always been to make a quick exit or make a joke.
I know.
I ran out on you today because I thought I might fall apart.
- Daddy, it's OK.
- I didn't even make it to the airport.
I turned the taxi around and went back to the cemetery.
I sat there all day, but I ran out of jokes pretty fast.
Plus your mother's already heard all my jokes.
So I just sat there.
Then I decided after a few hours that if I was going to feel terrible and alone, I'd like to do it with someone I love.
I am sorry that I left today.
Daddy.
I'm just glad you're here now.
We can help each other get through this.
Mommy, can we sing now? Oh.
