7th Heaven s05e10 Episode Script

Hi.
Reverend Camden.
Hey, Robbie.
Just hanging out.
- Studying.
- Studying outdoors? Yeah, I've been in the library a lot lately and I just decided to study out here.
It's kind of cold, isn't it? Not that cold.
What's in the duffle bag? Oh, just my, uh, laundry.
I did my laundry earlier.
It's still warm from being in the dryer.
Probably why I'm not cold.
How's Cheryl? We split up.
It wasn't right for me to live with her if we weren't going to get married.
Do you have a place to live? Of course.
I might not have a place with laundry, but yeah, I do have a place to live.
You're sure you're okay? I'm fine, but thanks for asking.
All right.
Have you talk to Mary? No.
But thanks for asking.
7th Heaven When I see their happy faces Smiling back at me 7th Heaven I know there's no greater feeling Than the love of family Where can you go When the world don't treat you right? The answer is home That's the one place that you'll find 7th Heaven Mmm, 7th Heaven 7th Heaven.
How's your cup of sugar? I don't really like coffee.
It's just warm.
Things haven't been going too well for me lately.
Yeah, I noticed.
What happened? When Cheryl knew I wasn't going to marry her, she kicked me out.
Why couldn't you just go to your mom's? Mom lost the house.
Yeah, and moved to Florida.
Couldn't you go to Florida? I got school.
It's the middle of the semester.
How do you stay in school when you don't even have a place to sleep? It's frustrating, but school is very important to me.
You still have a car? It got towed and I don't have the money to get it out.
What about staying at a shelter? Just for right now.
I could help you get into a shelter.
I already tried, but it's almost Christmas and there's no room.
Besides there are people out there a lot worse off than I am, and if I get my education, I'll have the resources to make my life better.
You and Mary sure don't see eye to eye about school.
Why do you think I broke up with her? I thought she broke up with you? Well, she did, but You didn't know we were seeing each other over the summer.
You two were dating each other over the summer? I'm sorry I'm so late.
Um, no problem.
I have a surprise for you.
I have a surprise for you, too.
Surprise.
Oh, excuse me Mrs.
Camden, I'm so sorry.
I had no idea.
Robbie, go downstairs and wait in the kitchen while I speak to my husband.
Help yourself to anything in the fridge.
Thank you.
I was only bringing Robbie home to spend the night, now he's gonna want to live here.
Is there some occasion that I It's Friday night.
Ah, Friday, yes, TGIF.
Shut up! No, first tell me why you brought Robbie home with you and why he's spending the night and then shut up.
- He's homeless.
- Homeless? I met up with him tonight down on the Promenade, he was sitting on a duffel bag filled with what little he owns.
You look nice.
Oh, shut up.
You know, I always pictured your family in robes.
Really big, flannel, furry robes.
I always pictured you in your own house, not in our kitchen at 10:00 at night.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you.
If you're looking for Mary, she's still in New York.
I'm not looking for Mary, but how's she doing anyway? Who knows? I think she's still a little angry.
Angry at? Everyone.
Yeah.
Do my parents know you're here? Oh, yeah, you're Dad brought me home.
I'm currently without a home.
I'm just going to clean up, get some sleep, then I'm out of here.
Good night.
There's nowhere else he can go? Nowhere? Robbie is staying here? Did you go downstairs like that? I was hot, Mom had the heat up for Sam and David.
At least I thought it was for Sam and David.
I'll just go now.
Your hair is so girly.
You know, girly, but sexy.
Get off the phone.
Get out of my room.
We have to talk.
I am talking.
Who are you talking to? None of your business.
Where was I? Are you just going to ignore me? Yes.
Lucy.
She has no idea.
I don't care.
So, do you actually sleep outside? Like camping? Yeah, kind of.
What do you sleep in? Uh, jeans and a jacket.
Matt has some clean laundry here.
Want a pair of pajamas? I don't think Matt would like it if he came home and found me sleeping in his pajamas.
You can't just walk around in your underwear.
House rules, just so you know.
Well, thanks for the tip.
I'll wear my clothes to bed.
Or nice, warm, clean, soft flannel jammies, straight from the laundry.
It might even still be warm.
You know you want them.
Come on.
Ruthie? You're supposed to be in bed.
Well, someone has to entertain the company.
Good night.
Uh, good news.
Annie says you can stay.
You sure? Sure, I'm sure.
She didn't look too happy.
No, it's fine.
She's excited.
That I'm homeless? No.
That you're staying here at the house for the night.
She's excited to help out a friend.
I'll make up the couch for you.
Thanks.
Uh, there's not a bathroom down here, is there? Second floor.
Right.
I just want to clean up.
Uh, by the way, we have a rule about walking around the house, you know, naked.
We have rules about nakedness.
- I heard.
- Now granted, Lucy came very close to not following the rules tonight.
I didn't see anything, honest.
Well, let's just keep it that way.
No problem.
Matt a moment of your time, please.
I don't believe you.
I've lived through Heather, no Heather.
Shana, no Shana.
Heather again, no Heather.
And about a million other women you've brought home since we've lived together, and you can give me one night? It's not just one night.
You two have been with each other every single night this week.
I mean, what is it with you and this woman? Does she have you under some spell? Not "this woman.
" Priscilla.
And it's called love.
True love.
She's the one, man.
She's the woman of my dreams.
She's my destiny.
And you know what you do when you find your destiny? You want to be with her every minute you can.
And when you're not with her, you want to think about her until you can be with her again.
I'm sorry, but do barf bags come with this speech? You need to take a walk.
Naw, I'm wearing my pajamas.
Thanks for understanding.
You're a pal.
Fine, you want me to go, I'll go.
I want you to go.
It doesn't make any difference to me, either.
It's like I know you so well.
Like we really know so much about each other already.
Yeah, it is weird.
Isn't it great? I'm very sorry for coming by so late, but I have to talk to Lucy.
Do you have a phone, son? Yes, but I have to tell Lucy something face-to-face.
I would have come by earlier, but I couldn't get away.
Oh, uh, Robbie, Mike.
Mike, Robbie.
I'll go get Lucy.
I'm Lucy's boyfriend.
Um Mary's ex-boyfriend.
You're the guy who tried to take Mary to the motel.
And then cheated on her with some ex-girlfriend you almost had to marry because you thought she was pregnant.
I'm just staying here the night.
Now, that's what I pictured.
What's going on? I'll explain later.
I think I'll have to wait to make up the couch, but that'll give us time to talk.
What more do we have to talk about? I'm sure we can find something.
How about a sandwich? Sure.
What can I make you? Uh, what do we have? - Did you come over to show me how well you pace? -No.
I came over to tell you that I got early acceptance.
Yes! I am so happy for you.
What great news! It's just a relief to know I have a college to go to next year.
You know, you'll probably get your acceptance letter in the mail tomorrow.
And if not tomorrow, then the next day.
You will.
Have faith.
It'll happen.
Thanks.
I-I'm sorry.
This isn't right.
This is your big moment, and I'm very happy for you.
I know you are.
That's why I wanted to tell you first.
Why did you wait until now? Well, I You were on a date? Look, we're not exclusive, so why shouldn't you be on a date? Then again, this early college acceptance thing was something we did do together.
And if it were me, I'd come over before my date.
But, hey, everyone's different, right? This is, um good.
I mix the ketchup with a little mayo.
Sort of a Russian dressing.
Hmm.
You're either, uh, late for dinner, or, considering you're in pajamas, early for breakfast.
No, I'm not here to eat.
I need the couch.
And a good pair of shoes.
What are you doing here? Uh, the couch is taken.
Oh.
By? Him?! I can sleep on the floor.
Uh, no one needs to sleep on the floor.
We have two couches.
Mike had a date.
I'll make up a couch now.
Do you have a preference? No, I think I'll go upstairs to Mary's bed.
Uh, good night.
Good night.
Am I in the right house? Well, I'd explain, but for now, it's a long, personal, confidential story.
Why are you spending the night? I-I'd explain, but for now, it's a long, personal, confidential story, too.
Hello.
Hey, Ruthie.
Ruthie, don't hang up.
It's Mary.
Yeah, I know.
Put Mom on the phone, now! Whatever you say.
Hello? I'm sorry, I think I have the wrong number.
Allow me.
Hello.
I thought you were getting Mom.
And while I'm at it, I'll get Dad, too.
Hold on.
Yeah, it's her.
Does she know you're staying here? I don't think so.
Interesting.
Was the phone for me? Uh, were you expecting a call? Who was on the phone? Mary.
I answered, and she hung up.
She thought she had the wrong number.
And earlier this morning when the phone rang over and over, a ring here, a ring there Who was calling then? Okay, I did it.
I hung up on Mary.
And I'd do it again.
I don't want to talk to her.
I don't like her, and you can't make me like her.
I should put something on.
Why don't you? Mary? Oh, it's so good to hear your voice.
Uh, I know, I know, the naked rule.
I found some phones in the hamper, and Why don't I put something on? Yeah, why don't you? Uh, I'm still working on a room for you at a shelter.
Until I find a place for you to go, why don't you hang around the house? I don't think Matt would like that.
Matt went home.
Was that Mary on the phone? Yeah.
So, she finally called? Yeah.
She's actually been calling all morning, but a certain someone, Ruthie, has been hanging up on her.
Did Mary want to talk to me? I think he's going to need to stay for a couple of nights.
Now, come on.
Robbie is really trying.
He has a 4.
0 average at school.
He's homeless, and he made the Dean's List.
If I hadn't known him for the last year, I'd want to adopt him.
You should get the divorce first.
So, how long has Mary been calling? How long has she been gone? Don't answer a question with a question.
And the next time Mary calls, you let her speak with anyone she wants to speak with If you can't do that, then don't answer the phone.
So if she calls to speak with Robbie, I should let her? Robbie won't be here very much longer.
Yeah, right.
Hey, it's me.
I'll take the mail.
Don't college acceptance letters usually come in those big mailer envelopes? You know, because they send all the information about the college and the dorms and stuff? You want my professional opinion as a United States postal carrier? Yes, usually.
- You open it! - Oh That's a federal offense, punishable by a fine and incarceration.
Why don't you want to open it? I hate surprises.
They're always bad.
That's not true.
There are plenty of good surprises.
Uh Christmas, birthdays.
One Christmas, I got a shoe shine kit from my boyfriend that was meant for his uncle's monkey.
Don't open it.
So, who were you talking to? No one.
Same no one you've been talking to all day? Yeah.
- Does this no one have a name? - Yes.
You want to tell me? No.
Why? Because I don't.
It's not important.
But by not telling me who you've been on the phone with all day, aren't you making it important? No.
Come on.
Who is it? A friend.
- A lady friend? - A lady friend? - Yeah.
- I don't think - I have to answer that.
- I'm invoking my parental right to know who you've been on the phone with.
- No.
- No? You're invoking your parental right because you're curious, not concerned.
That's an illegal use of your parental right.
Come on.
You know I'm not up to anything bad.
You just want to know.
Admit it.
Okay, yes.
I admit it.
I just want to know who you've been talking to all day.
Sorry.
So you're not going to tell me? Correct.
Come on.
It's private.
I'll be back.
Okay.
What are you doing here? I live here.
Priscilla's coming over for dinner.
I talked to your mom.
She said you could eat over there tonight.
Okay, one: Stop talking to my mother.
And, two: Don't tell me to go away.
I don't want to eat with my family at night.
I want to eat here in my apartment, and I'm going to eat here in my apartment, and you can't stop me.
You don't want to go home because Robbie's moved into your house.
Robbie didn't move in.
And he's not moving in.
And if you don't stop talking to my mom, I'm going to start talking to your mom.
And you're not going to like it.
Okay.
You know what I hate about this place? When we have an argument, I have no place to go but the bathroom, and now, I'm going back to the bathroom, because I'd rather be in the bathroom than out here.
I found a shelter for you.
I'm not familiar with this particular facility, but the director sounds okay and they-they have an empty bed.
Thank you.
I'll keep looking, but for now it's free, and it's better than sleeping on the streets.
Great.
Great, anything will be fine.
I'm not picky.
Well, grab your duffel bag.
I-I'll give you a ride over.
Hey.
I can't thank you enough for doing this.
Sure.
That'll be fine.
I can handle it.
Don't worry.
I don't know what you were expecting.
I mean, maybe you've only seen the really good shelters.
But I'm okay.
Like you said, it's better than the streets, really.
Let's go home.
How long? And where is he going to sleep? Oh, and who's going to tell Mary? Mary's not exactly speaking to me.
If you'd seen that shelter I know what this is about.
You're being nice to Robbie so that Mary will forgive you for sending her away.
It's not that at all.
When have I ever refused to help a friend? You just quoted The Godfather.
Did I? Yes, you did.
Look, if I were on the streets, if the situation were reversed, this is how I'd want to be treated.
Funny, I don't remember you waving the old Christian attitude around when Robbie was trying to seduce your daughter.
It wasn't the right time.
Oh, is there a wrong time? I just look at this situation as God giving me the opportunity to help someone and simultaneously heal my relationship with my daughter.
And the shelter was lousy.
And he's on the Dean's List.
And he's homeless.
Hey, it's me again.
No, I'm not doing anything.
Oh, you, too? Well, I was wondering Oh, you were wondering something, too? No, you first.
What were you wondering? Wow! That was exactly what I was wondering.
So we thought the same thing at the same time.
That's kind of cosmic, isn't it? So are we really going to do this? I need to start dinner.
Will that disturb your studying? Do you want some help? No.
Study.
Did you talk to Mrs.
Camden? Yeah, she's Excited? She's okay with your staying here.
You're back.
Yep, he's back.
Where are you off to? I'm going to see Mike.
You two have a date? No.
I'm surprising him.
He got into college, and I didn't sound too enthusiastic about it, mainly because he waited until after his date to tell me, but anyway, I thought I'd go over and surprise him with an apology for the way I acted.
- You sure you want to do that? - You sure you want to do that? Why wouldn't I want to do that? You've never met his mother and you want to just show up at his house? You never even met his mother and you just want to show up at his house? Yes, I do.
That's why I'm doing it.
I'll be home for dinner.
So, is this Mike an okay guy? Well, he spent some time in a mental hospital, but he's doing really well now.
No wonder I don't look so bad.
You know, Robbie, it's not your fault you're out on the streets.
Yeah, I know, but it's not your fault either.
You didn't know Cheryl was gonna kick me out.
So, you don't have to do this.
Hey, I heard he's back.
Uh, yes.
Robbie is back, temporarily, until your father finds him a place to live.
I didn't like him when Mary dated him, but he's kind of growing on me.
Who's growing on you? Robbie's back.
Oh, I didn't know he left.
But I don't care if he goes or stays, because now that I have only one bed, he can't stay in my room.
He can stay in mine.
Uh, I don't think so.
Well, why don't you just put him in Mary's old bed in Lucy's room, the one Matt likes? Now, there's a fun idea, for a couple of reasons.
New house rule No unrelated co-ed roommates unless there's a marriage certificate.
Well, then, put me in Mary's old bed and put Robbie in my room.
I don't mind.
Why don't you mind? I want the attic.
I've always wanted the attic, and if I have to share it with Lucy, so be it.
Why are we being so nice to this guy, anyway? Because, we're nice to everybody.
Amen.
So, what's for dinner? Smells great.
Remember, I don't like too much salt in the sauce.
Look, I'm hungry and I'm not going anywhere.
Your water's boiling.
Hello? Who's this? Robbie? Uh, no, this isn't Robbie.
Yes, it is.
Why are you answering the phone at my house? Because I was in the kitchen.
Oh, no.
You aren't.
I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this.
I thought someone else would.
You're dating my sister? Excuse me? My parents are letting you date Lucy?! My parents didn't want us to go out, but you can go out with Lucy? Your Dad just came in.
Let me put him on the phone.
It's Mary.
She thinks I answered the phone because I'm dating Lucy.
I think that that's better than I'm staying here.
Bye.
Mary, hi.
How are you? It's, it's so good to hear from you.
I-I, I miss you.
Sorry for just showing up, but I felt badly for the way I acted yesterday.
I'm surprised to see you.
Is everything okay? Look, if you come in, there's no going back.
What? Never mind, I'll come in.
That's my mom.
Mom this is my good friend, Lucy.
Remember I told you about her? And, Lucy, this is my mom.
Nice to meet you, Mrs.
Pierce.
We'll be right back.
Why didn't you tell me about your mother? You're the first person I've let meet my mom since she got sick.
I'm sorry.
I had no idea.
I shouldn't have come.
No.
I'm glad you did.
I don't like to hide my life.
My Mom and I both had a real hard time dealing with my father's death, and we both handled it differently.
I tried to commit suicide, and she just checked out.
How do you handle this and school and me? The insurance pays for a nurse, and sometimes my neighbor comes over and gives me a little time off.
I meant, how do you handle this emotionally? I know where my mom's coming from, and I'm stronger than I look.
Don't worry.
I'm sure that some day soon, my Mom's going to check back in.
Time heals all wounds, right? I had no idea this was your life.
My life's just fine, and you know why? I'm alive, and I'm grateful for every second of every day.
No, it's okay, really.
I understand better than most people that sometimes if you just hang in there, it all gets better.
You're the most amazing guy I ever not kissed.
The agreement was when you get your acceptance.
I wish I didn't have to go back in but I do.
Good night.
Good night.
This is good.
See, we're all getting along.
Eating dinner, having fun.
We usually start dinner with grace.
Allow me.
Sorry.
That's okay, someone else can say grace.
No.
I want to say it.
Father, please know how grateful I am.
I was homeless, now I'm not.
I haven't had a bed to sleep in in weeks.
Now I do.
I've been hungry.
Now I have a wonderful home-cooked dinner.
I never really knew what a family was, how a family acted, now I do.
Thank you.
I'm the most grateful man that ever walked the Earth.
So, please God, bless the Camdens for their kindness, generosity.
Amen.
I knew it.
Knew what? He's staying.
You sure you don't have anywhere else you could be, Matt? Like the hallway.
Your car.
That's okay, he can stay.
See, it's okay, I'm fine right here.
This isn't how I wanted to do this, but What are you doing? Yeah, what are you doing? Get up! I love you.
And I can't live without you.
I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
And I want the rest of my life to start right now.
Be my wife.
Marry me and make me the happiest man in the world.
I'm going to dial and then you're going to ask for Lucy.
It's really late.
Not there it isn't.
And use a deep voice.
My mother will never let me sleep over here again.
Why can't you get your cousin George to do this? Because George is a wimp.
And he's not my cousin, he's my uncle.
How can he be your uncle? My grandparents adopted him, making him my father's brother.
Hello.
Uh, may I speak to Lucy? This is Lucy.
Who is this? Uh I'm going to get you.
Who is this? Don't play games with me or else I'm going to fly all the way back there and kick your butt.
Mary? Yes.
Your sister.
The one who used to date Robbie.
It really would have been nice if you had told me.
Well, I thought Dad would have told you.
But you're not speaking to him.
Why should he tell me? Because it was his idea.
What? He was the one who brought Robbie home.
This is too much.
First, I get shipped off to Fort Camden, and then I find out that you're all plotting against me with my former boyfriend whom by the way, none of you ever liked until I left town.
Am I done here? Get out.
I don't guess I can get a kiss? Well, you woke me up.
I need a place to stay.
Well, try Ruthie's room.
What happened to the bed in Lucy's room? Uh, Ruthie's in that bed.
Because? Because Robbie is in Ruthie's room.
I'll sleep on the couch.
Suit yourself.
Or you could stay at your apartment.
Mm, not tonight.
John asked Priscilla to marry him.
She said yes.
That's great.
Yes, it is, wow.
Great for whom? John and Priscilla? Does everything have to be about John and Priscilla? Don't I have a say in what happens? John is my roommate.
No, you don't have a say.
I'm going to call John in the morning and congratulate him.
Yeah, why don't you do that.
Call him and have a nice little chat.
- Your brother is - What's up with him? Okay, you can touch anything that's not Hello Kitty.
The whole room is Hello Kitty.
Hello Kitty is very important to me.
Well, I promise to be very careful.
Why don't you want to talk to Mary? Why doesn't Mary want to talk to me? I'll get over it, eventually.
Want to color? I want to color, too.
Cool.
Don't worry, I'm sleeping on the couch.
- I tried to leave, you know.
- Yeah, it's not as easy as it looks.
Sorry.
I put my jeans in the wash and And you know the naked rule.
I loaned them to him.
Did you see The Lion King? Can you feel the love? Come on Doc Camden, give your new brother a hug.
Hey, what are you up to? I'm going out for awhile.
Oh, with that girl you've been on the phone with? Yes.
And not to change the subject, but we can't keep Robbie.
He wasn't good for Mary, he's not good for Lucy or Ruthie.
I don't care how well he colors, cries or sets a table.
- Well, I'm afraid we're going to have to keep him for awhile.
-Why? You don't like him.
Mom doesn't like him.
Mary doesn't like him.
Lucy doesn't like him.
I don't like him.
Matt doesn't like him.
I get it, I get it.
We don't like him.
It's agreed.
Yet he will be staying here until he can stay somewhere else.
Wait, what about Ruthie? Ruthie's been weird ever since you shipped her off to private school.
I'll get it.
Oh, are you here for Matt? Who's Matt? She's here for me.
Dad, Sasha.
Sasha, Dad.
Good evening.
- I won't be late.
- Oh, wait a minute.
Wait a minute, who's driving? I am.
A BMW.
I've had my license for two years.
I've never had a ticket, and I'm insured.
I know it's late, but I'll bring him back.
Promise.
We're just going to get some ice cream.
Come on, Dad, you've met her, you've interrogated her, you've seen her.
Can we go? Yeah.
You don't have to help me, I can finish.
I like to help.
I don't really help as much as I should.
Oh, that's not true.
But, I'll take any help I can get.
So, is Robbie going to stay? Oh, I don't know for how long.
But until we can find him another place to live, yes.
That's what I love about this family.
We just don't take in the homeless, we take in the formerly unlikable, untrustworthy homeless.
Well, I'm glad you feel that way because until Robbie leaves, Ruthie's going to be staying in your room.
Fine.
It will be fun to have a roommate again.
You are such a good sport.
Why? Oh, you just get a look at some peoples' lives and suddenly yours doesn't look so bad.
Mike? Do you want me to get them? Thanks, but that's okay.
What was that? Nothing, just some information on the college.
Uh-huh.
What was that for? For being my dad.
Thanks.
Come on, I'll help you clean up here.
