7th Heaven s11e02 Episode Script

- Hi, Mom.
- Hi, Mom.
Hi, guys.
We call you that because you're our mom.
Right.
That's not funny.
Why don't you guys go upstairs and start your homework.
Sorry.
We don't have any homework.
Can we have a brownie? Oh, sure, but just take one, okay? - Uh, what's not funny? - It's not funny that you're married to our grandpa.
Grandpa? Their teacher what is she, 12? uh, mistook me for their grandfather.
That's funny.
In a ridiculous sort of way.
I bet nobody ever asked you if you're their grandmother.
No, nobody's ever asked me if-if I were their grandmother, but it could happen.
You know, really, when you think of it, we're both old enough to be their grandparents.
Yeah.
Mm, thanks.
I'll wait.
Have you met the teacher? Yeah, I have.
She-She does look about 12 very, very young.
Oh, I think she's only been teaching, what, three years.
Yeah, so you met her, and she met you.
So she must think I'm what, your father? I guess.
Now you see how ridiculous it is.
And-And-And that's why it's funny.
But, I mean, I don't look older than We look like we're Do I look that old? No, of course you don't.
She probably doesn't even remember what I look like, anyway.
Oh, I don't know, but - Maybe I do look older than you.
- No, honey, you don't.
We-We definitely look the same age.
We look like two people who have been married for a long time - practically become one person.
- Yeah.
Hey, you want to go upstairs? - Upstairs? Why? - And be one person.
I'm not following you.
You know.
I'm following you.
Now? Why not? How is it that you have so much energy at this time of day? Are you kidding? I'm practically a free woman.
You're practically a free man.
We only have two kids left in the house.
It's a piece of cake.
Yeah, you're right, but those two are not going to be easy.
Oh, I know, but nothing's easy.
But our-our lives have become much, much easier, so Can we walk Happy over to see Samson and Delilah? Kevin told us we could come over this afternoon.
Sure.
See ya.
See ya.

Eric, dinner's ready! Hee-hee.
Hi, sweetheart.
Just call me Grandpa.
I don't think so.
Kevin wants to know if he can come over for dinner.
Of course; he knows he doesn't have to ask.
Why don't you call him.
Hey, got room for Savannah, too? Yes, and Lucy.
Where is Lucy? What happened to you? Oh, n-nothing, really.
Oh, I beg to disagree.
Are you okay? Yes, thank you, I'm fine.
You know, I made roast beef hash for dinner tonight, from leftovers.
Can you believe we have leftovers? I just love my new life.
Again? Lucy's out for dinner again? She was out last night and the night before and And the night before that.
I guess she's still working her way through the congregation with door-to-door apologies.
And the week before that, Kevin? Are you sure you're? I'm fine.
Lucy's going around apologizing to the congregation? She didn't say anything about that to me.
Maybe she's too embarrassed to tell you.
Yeah, probably so.
Lucy didn't say anything to you about going around apologizing to people? Well, maybe she did tell you and you just forgot.
Yeah, Grandpa.
Maybe you just forgot.
Um, I-I thought you were changing the movie today.
Isn't today the day that you change movies? I-I was counting on you changing the movie today, 'cause I've already seen this one, and, you know By the way, it's already out on DVD.
Well, it was actually already out on DVD last week when you saw it.
And last night and then the night before, going all the way back to last week.
And then the one before that.
Well, that one was also out on DVD.
And the one before that.
And so forth.
And your point being? Well, my point being that watching a DVD at home is not the same as experiencing it at a historical venue such as this.
So feel free to watch any movie as many times as you like.
And hey, this week's is a comedy.
I say this with the utmost respect, but, uh, I think we all know you need to laugh.
Laughter is good for whatever ails you.
You know, big ails or small ails.
Oh, yeah? Well, you know, that makes me laugh for you to tell me that I need to laugh.
What makes you think that I need to laugh? - Well, you're here a lot.
- Yes.
I am.
And I wish someone could change the movies more often.
I heard about last Sunday.
I heard about last Sunday.
You heard what about last Sunday? I heard, okay? Everyone heard.
It's kind of all over Glenoak, but everyone is totally sympathetic, so don't worry what people are thinking about you.
Well, I mean, you never should really worry what people are thinking about you.
And by the way, if you ask me, your husband not that hot.
Well, not as hot as you, anyway.
How old are you? Oh, don't panic.
I'm over 18.
Okay.
Yeah, not old enough to talk to me like that.
Like man to woman? Yeah, I am.
Yeah, okay.
One adult.
Hurry up, and-and don't say another word to me.
If you want to grab a pizza when you get out, let me know.
This isn't your apartment.
You could wait for me to open the door.
Okay, well, then you'd have to get up from whatever it is you're doing to answer the door, so I figured I'd save you the trouble.
You have dinner already? No.
I'm studying.
Or trying to.
I'm just going to make some scrambled eggs or something later.
Okay, so, study, and I'll make you something to eat.
That's what I came over for anyway.
You drove all the way over here to make me dinner? Yeah.
After four hours of classes, two hours at the library, and three hours of practice, drove all the way over here to make you dinner, and to see you and to talk to you and to take care of you, if you need anything you or my son.
Okay.
But only if it doesn't imply some sort of commitment.
No.
No commitment.
We're just two people who had sex one time and now have a child together.
No commitment.
I don't know what to do.
I've tried talking, I've tried not talking.
I've tried stepping back and letting her have her space.
I tried that stupid cuddling thing.
I mean, best I could.
She's really not willing to be physically close to me right now, if you know what I mean.
She may have implied to everyone at the church that I'm irresistible, but believe me, she can resist.
She doesn't even have to resist.
She has, like, this mental resistance that's so strong, I don't even go near her.
Dad, you asleep? Hmm? I know you're not sleeping.
You look like you need to sleep, but you're not asleep.
Well, what does that mean? It means you look like you're kind of tired or something.
I am tired.
I've had a very tiring day.
You came home when the boys came home from school.
Yes.
How can you be tired? Let me put it this way.
I'm having the opposite problem with my wife that you're having with your wife.
I didn't realize you were having problems.
We're not having problems; we're not having any problems.
We're not even having the littlest, tiniest problem.
Like, no resistance.
None.
My wife's newfound sense of freedom is making her unusually caring.
I don't think I should know about that.
Well, then don't ask so many questions.
Believe me, I wouldn't have if I'd known I was going to find that out.
Geez, Dad.
Well, don't "geez" me.
You're sitting over there going on and on about you and Lucy.
But we're not doing anything.
Well, we're doing, like, everything.
I should be going.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, if that's for Savannah, I better be getting her home; it's almost her bedtime.
What time are you expecting Lucy? I don't know.
I learned not to ask those questions over the summer.
She's free to come and go as she pleases.
It's a control thing.
I know it's a control thing, so I make no attempt to appear that I'm trying to control anything other than myself.
Wow.
You're a good husband, Kevin.
This has been so difficult for you, too.
It's just that we reacted to what happened in completely different ways.
I need to be closer to Lucy, she needs to not be closer to me.
After last Sunday, I thought things would be better, but they're not.
In fact, they're not better at all.
It's all going to be fine, everything's going to be fine.
You just go home to Lucy, hang out with her, be with her, talk to her, tell her how much you care about her.
No offense, Mom, but I don't think everything will be fine.
Think it may even get worse.
Kevin, I'm sure that Lucy screaming at people in church and publicly blaming her whole family for her personal tragedy is her rock bottom.
That's as bad as it's going to get.
So if you can just hang in there and keep doing what you're doing, or not doing, she'll come around.
Hungry? Um, a little.
I was hoping you would be.
Would you care to share a pizza? Oh, I can't.
I really have to get home.
Oh, come on, it's just a pizza.
Plus, I'm sure the rest of your family has already eaten.
I mean, don't you get tired of being with them, anyway? No! They're my family.
Exactly.
You can't talk to your family about your family.
I mean, that's how you ended up losing it in church.
You need a friend to talk to.
All right, maybe I need a friend to talk to.
Okay.
Maybe just a slice.
I mean, if you really need a friend to talk to.
Oh, yeah, totally.
Can I get you anything else? No, that was really good.
Wow.
Chicken piccata.
Yeah, it was pretty good, huh? I forgot how much I like to cook.
You never liked to cook before tonight.
No, no, I do like to cook.
I was just always afraid of messing up.
I don't want to make a mistake in front of you.
But I guess I'm getting my confidence back.
Really? Yeah.
I mean, I'm starting to feel more comfortable around you, and I hope you're starting to feel the same way around me.
Yeah, I guess I am.
But that doesn't mean that anything has changed between us.
No.
No, no, of course not.
Okay.
Well, then I guess I'm starting to feel more comfortable around you, too.
Good.
Well, um, you go back to studying and I guess I'll just clean up.
Thanks, Martin.
No problem.
Anytime.
I am a very emotional person, and sometimes I do things based on my strong emotions.
You know, without thinking.
Like that thing that happened at church last Sunday.
Yeah.
I told Kevin that I was out making house calls, that I was going house-to-house to apologize to everyone in the congregation.
Yeah, right.
'Cause I'm sorry for what? For being emotional? You know, I-I think they should all just get over it.
You know, life is emotional.
At least for me, anyway.
Yeah.
You know, I don't trust people who don't have emotions.
No, no, you know what? I don't like people who don't show their emotions.
Yeah.
Of course you can always choose how you want to feel, but-but then you have to think about how you want to feel first, and I'm not sure how I want to feel.
I mean, if I choose to feel the same way that I used to about, you know things, you know, then what would happen? Yeah.
I don't know either.
Eric, honey, don't you want to come up to bed? You'll sleep better No, it's okay; I'll just sleep here.
Oh, you don't want to sleep on the couch.
Yeah, I do; I want to sleep on the couch.
No, no, don't you want to come upstairs and sleep with me? Mmm.
No.
No? No? You don't want to sleep with me? What is that? I just, I just meant that I, I didn't want to get up and walk all the way upstairs, and so I just, you know, thought I'd sleep here.
That's all.
Since I was asleep here, for the most part.
Oh, well, that's the last time the two of us will take a "nap" in the afternoon, if it means that you're going to sleep here on the couch all night.
It was your idea to Yes, it was, and you know what? Lately, it's always my idea.
Thank you very much.
No, I'm not going to chance it.
Good.
Don't.
Good night! I'm just very tired.
Luce? No, no, it's-it's me, it's Martin.
- I-I just called to thank you.
- For? For the advice you were totally right about everything.
I mean, taking an interest in that stuff Sandy's studying and taking care of her, cooking for her.
The chicken piccata worked great.
By "worked," you mean what? Okay, I drove all the way over to Sandy's tonight to cook dinner for her and I think she might let me get closer to her.
I hope you don't mean what I think you mean.
Why not? You're the one that gave me the advice.
That was relationship advice.
No, it wasn't.
If I had wanted relationship advice, I would've gone to one of the Camdens.
You think I told you to take an interest in what Sandy's studying and to try taking better care of her and your son and to try cooking them a meal sometime just so you could sleep with her? Uh, yeah.
Uh, no.
Well, it worked.
She loved the chicken piccata.
You think she loved the chicken piccata so much that she would actually sleep with you? - I do.
- Are you insane?! No, I'm not insane.
I mean, obviously there's a direct correlation between food and women; otherwise, they wouldn't sell condoms in the grocery store.
Hey, do you know how baby monitors work? Are they two-way or just one-way? What? I have to go.
Oh Hello, Sandy? It's just that, you know, we've been together before, so really, when you think about it, if we could get together again, you might feel differently about getting married.
I'll just go now.
You know, at work, I have to compete with my dad, and at home, I have to compete with Kevin, because Kevin's, like, the world's greatest dad and the world's greatest husband, and, you know, it's really hard, because-because I want to be the world's greatest mother and the world's greatest wife and the world's greatest, you know, associate pastor, but I can't be all of those things to-to all of those people right now.
Right now, I have to just be there for me.
And Savannah you know, I have to be there for Savannah.
I and I love being with Savannah.
Unfortunately, I can't keep on making up excuses to take her out with me at night.
- Yeah.
- And you should see the meals Kevin makes.
I mean, he's like a professional chef.
Sometimes I come home, and-and he's made chicken piccata and pork étouffée and beef Bourguignonne, so now I have to keep coming up with reasons to get out of the house.
You know, and obviously I-I can't keep doing this.
Well, it sounds like rejection on multiple levels.
What? Well, the poor guy is desperately trying to seduce you, and you want no part of it.
And he's just not getting the message.
Been there.
My husband is trying to seduce me? Well, there's got to be a reason he's cooking for you like that.
We-we have to eat.
Not chicken piccata.
Not pork étouffée, and not beef Bourguignonne.
I may only be 18, but I know what cooking can do to a woman.
And I can only make a grilled cheese sandwich.
So if he hasn't been cooking for me well, if he hasn't been cooking for me at all lately May not be a good sign.
He may be losing interest.
And, uh, if that is the case, I'd be happy to make a grilled cheese sandwich for you anytime, day or night.
What? Well, I enjoyed listening to you talk about your family, but I-I have to say that if I were your husband, I would not be so easily discouraged.
Grilled cheese sandwiches till the cows come home, Reverend.
That's what I wanted to talk to you about.
If, for any reason, you ever feel that you want more out of life than the so-called perfect husband, well, you know where to find me.
And if you're not interested, I hope you this little brief encounter doesn't interfere with your future moviegoing experiences.
- Encounter? - Encounter.
I'd gladly be your Ashton if you'd be my Demi.
Okay.
All right.
Good night, T Bone.
And-and you know what? I'm only seven years older than you.
Hello.
I know it's late, and I know that you have a lot that you're dealing with right now, but just so you know, maybe you should be talking to Martin and not Kevin.
I think Martin is really confused, and Kevin is the one who confused him.
How so? He told Martin that if he cooked for me, then maybe I'd sleep with him or something crazy like that.
So it's true? The apologies ran a little late tonight, huh? I lied.
I didn't apologize to anyone.
I don't feel like apologizing.
Why did you stop cooking for me? You haven't been home to eat.
But all the same, you stopped cooking.
Again, you haven't been home to eat.
If you were home, I'd cook.
I'd gladly cook for you.
But the fact is, you haven't.
All right, I haven't.
And it's not because I wasn't home to eat.
Yes, it was, and I just got tired of eating by myself or just with Savannah.
You're not attracted to me anymore.
- What? - You stopped cooking for me because you don't want to sleep with me anymore.
Have you been talking to Martin? No, but I did get a call from Sandy.
I never told him he should cook for Sandy just so he could sleep with Sandy.
Martin called and asked me for some advice, and somehow he got the cooking and sex all tied in together.
Maybe because they are tied together.
You know, and frankly, I don't really care to deal with with Sandy and Martin and whatever problems they may have, even if you are the one that caused them.
I just told him to take care of her and his son, and maybe she would like him better.
Did you give him any of your fancy-schmancy recipes? Huh? Did you? I might have.
So what? Cooking a good meal is a nice thing to do for someone your wife, your family, your friends but it has nothing to do with sex.
Yes, it does, and you know it does.
Everyone everyone knows that a woman does not cook for her husband unless she's trying to get him to sleep with her.
And Kevin Kinkirk, everyone knows that a husband does not cook for his wife unless he is trying to get her to sleep with him.
And you stopped cooking for me because you don't want to sleep with me! Look, crazy woman, I love you.
I'll cook for you anytime you want me to.
I think it's a little too late for that.
You don't think I feel bad enough without feeling completely unattractive and unappealing right now? Luce, hold on.
Just one question.
I just want to ask you one question.
Where were you tonight? You weren't out apologizing to the congregation, so where were you? I was at the Promenade.
I went to the movies.
That's where you go every night, to the movies? Yes, that's where I go every night.
- You have a problem with that? - Yes.
As a matter of fact, I do have a problem with that.
You're at the movies because you don't want to have dinner with me, because you don't want me to cook for you, because you really don't want to have anything to do with me.
You're the one who's not interested.
And you stood there and told the entire church that I was hot.
Ha.
Lucy, you're not going to the movies with anyone, are you? Are you sharing meals with another man? I wonder why he isn't sleeping in his bed.
I don't know.
You don't think he had a fight with Mom, do you? Maybe.
I don't know they seemed happy at dinner.
You don't think he's angry at us, do you? Why would he be angry at us? Maybe he found out.
Found out what? That we told our teacher he's our grandpa.
I didn't tell him.
Well, I didn't tell him.
So I guess he doesn't know.
Lucy and I had a fight.
So did Annie and I.
And you're happy about that? Well, we made up this morning.
Well, we didn't.
Well, Kev, eventually everything will be fine.
So everyone keeps saying.
Why are you wearing that? Why am I wearing what? Stuff I've never seen you wear before.
What are you talking about? You're wearing a Ramones T-shirt.
Yes, I am.
You're not going to work today? Yeah, right after I take the boys to school.
School.
I see.
You see what? Nothing, but eventually I'll figure it out.
So you're here because? Advice.
Lucy's seeing someone.
A psychiatrist? A guy.
A guy psychiatrist? A guy who works at the movie theater at the Promenade.
Oh, God, of course.
She's going to the movies every night.
Come on, Kev.
Lucy's seeing a guy who works at the movie theater? He's 18.
He's the ticket seller.
She had pizza with him.
Hey, guys.
Hi, Kevin.
- I can drop them off if you want.
-No, it's okay.
- I'll-I'll drop them off.
- It's on the way.
I don't mind.
No, no, I'll take the boys to school.
Our teacher thinks he's our grandpa.
Is that right? Well, Annie and I are old enough to be their grandparents.
Okay.
I get the look now.
Want us to wait in the backyard? Yeah.
I'll be right out.
Has Annie seen you this morning? I mean, like this? No, Annie went back to bed.
Freedom.
And she's tired.
And I have to take the boys to school.
This is like the religious Twilight Zone.
Lucy has a new boyfriend.
You're taking your sons to school to flirt with their teacher right after you made up with your wife.
What kind of family have I gotten myself into? We're like the Cleavers except we're religious, and we like to fool around.
I'll see you later.
Try not to embarrass yourself over Lucy's I-I'm pretty sure Lucy wouldn't cheat on you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think Martin was just trying to be nice.
He just misinterpreted what Kevin was saying to him.
You know, cooking can be different things to different people.
At least, according to Kevin.
Lucy, Martin was being nice for a reason that wasn't very nice.
He was trying to seduce me.
Well, just try to appreciate that for what it was.
He's in love with me.
He wants to marry me.
And I don't want to marry him.
See? Careful what you wish for.
Is that why you're upset with me? You think I should like Martin? That I should love him, I should marry him? No.
I I didn't say that.
You haven't really said anything.
And I get the feeling that you're upset with me.
Are you upset with me? I didn't say that.
Just say it.
I don't want to say it.
I-I don't want to be upset with you.
I don't feel like being upset with you.
I just I just don't want you to blame my husband if you end up making any mistakes with Martin.
Oh.
Okay.
Well, I'm not going to make any mistakes again.
Thanks for calling me.
I know you're really busy, and I appreciate the time that you took for me.
- Bye, Lucy.
- Uh Hi.
I wasn't saying that Aaron was a mistake.
That's okay.
I know you weren't saying that.
I was just saying well I was saying that sometimes it's it's hard to understand why why, uh, some people who don't want to have children have them, and people who want to have them don't have them.
Yet there is no reason why.
There's just what is.
Uh I'll call you, and we'll get together soon and catch up, okay? Sure.
I miss talking to you.
Really, I understand why you haven't been around.
I should have been able to figure it out.
I thought you didn't want me joining the ministry.
I'll call you soon.
Promise.
Okay.
Thanks, Lucy.
- Bye.
- Bye.
I know it's 9:00, but you should eat something before you go to the movies or wherever you're going today.
Actually, I was making something for you, if you ever came back.
Not that I would blame you if you didn't.
So, here.
I've been thinking, you know, you don't always have to be the one to do all the cooking, so Here.
Oh.
Biscuits? I love biscuits.
No.
They're potato pancakes.
From frozen potato pancakes.
I love those, too.
I I hope this doesn't make you think that I don't want you as much as you want me.
No, I was just thinking maybe I should do most of the cooking.
Thank you.
And maybe you can cook me dinner tonight, if you want? Sorry.
I have plans tonight.
I thought I'd drop by the Promenade to say hello to T Bone.
Kev Luce I'll talk to him.
I mean, he's just a kid a a lonely kid.
Just the same, I think I'll talk to him.
Oh Mmm! Mmm.
Hi.
How are you? David and Sam forgot their lunches.
Why, Grandpa Camden, you are a Ramones fan.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Used to be.
Yeah, shame about Johnny.
And Joey.
And Dee Dee.
Mmm.
My dad was a Ramones fan, too.
I'm not really their grandpa.
They're my sons.
Sam and David.
Yeah.
My wife and I had them after having five other children.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
- The seven children are all yours? -Yeah.
I thought it was probably a blended family.
No.
Seven children.
That That's great.
Yeah.
No, I want a big family myself.
I was an only child.
Only child.
Yeah, yeah, well, people used to think that was difficult for the child, but well, you uh, you probably know this research is showing that that only children actually fare quite well.
I'll take that as a compliment.
You know, I only thought you were Grandpa Camden because Sam and David said you were their grandpa.
I think those two were playing a little trick on me.
'Cause I said you're a good-looking man.
Well, what they said was you're a preacher, and I said you were way too good-looking for that.
Think I'm going to have to change churches.
So Sam and David told you I'm their grandfather.
I see.
Well they do have a funny sense of humor, those two.
Uh here.
Nice talking to you.
Hi, Mom.
- Oh, hi.
No snack? Did you go to work like that? I did.
But, uh, I-I limited myself to phone calls and, uh and visits with the visually-impaired.
Oh.
Did you dress like that just to take the boys to school? I did.
Oh.
Uh, was the teacher impressed? She sure was.
You know, you don't want to fool around with the teacher.
The boys still have many years of schooling.
Don't mess with the educational system.
I won't mess with it if it doesn't mess with me.
Seriously, Ms.
Margo was flirting with me.
- Okay.
- She was.
Well, I believe you.
You're a good-looking guy.
That's what she said.
She told Sam and David she thinks I'm good-looking, and they told her that I'm their grandpa.
Why would they do that? Obviously, to protect you.
They want their teacher to think that I'm too old for her.
Well, you are too old for her.
Despite the Ramones T-shirt and the baseball cap and the jeans and the sneakers.
And you you're married.
Oh, yeah.
I don't think she cares.
Are you are you just trying to make me jealous? Yes.
But I'm telling you the truth.
Oh, well, you are making me jealous.
Extremely jealous.
You want to go upstairs? I have a weak heart.
- You know? - Oh, yeah.
Well, remember that if the teacher calls.
Oh, Mary called.
Um, I forgot to tell you.
Two weeks? I mean, you're going to New York - for two weeks? - I have to go.
Mary's filling in for the coach, and, uh, she's a new mom, and she really needs the help, and I want to see the new babies.
- So do I.
- Well, you can go the next time she needs help.
Uh-huh.
You and the boys can be bachelors for a couple of weeks it'll be fun.
Loads.
I love you.
I know.
Is Kevin coming over for dinner again? No, just Lucy.
I've been expecting you.
How do you even know who I am? 'Cause I'm interested in your wife.
No, you're not.
No, seriously, I am.
But not in a stalker sort of way, so I hope you don't feel any need to resort to any police action of any kind.
Hey, I know the rules.
The rules of trying to seduce another man's wife? Yeah.
Like, uh, don't call her at home, don't send her any flowers.
Just, you know, don't do anything stupid.
I don't know, "seduce" is kind of a strong word.
I don't think I'd call it seduction.
I just want to get to know her.
Maybe it'll work out; maybe not.
I don't know.
I know.
It wouldn't work out.
No offense, but, uh, don't you think that's kind of up to Lucy? Look, pal, I could have you arrested.
No, you couldn't.
I could try.
I haven't done anything illegal.
I'm betting you have.
- Let me see your license.
- For what? You look more like 15 to me.
It's fake.
Okay.
Maybe Lucy and I could just be friends.
I don't think so.
All right, maybe you and I could just be friends.
What makes you think that? Well, I could always use another friend to talk to, and I would imagine you're very limited in who you can talk to, seeing as everyone in Glenoak is either related to you or goes to your family's church.
What do you got back there? Is that a George Foreman grill? Yeah, I was going to make a cheese sandwich - if Lucy came around, but - But she's not.
What kind of cheese you got? Longhorn cheddar.
Yeah, okay.
Maybe just one.
All right.
I'm 15, but I'm really 18 at heart.
Just make the sandwich.
Hi, Dad.
Can you say, "Hi, Grandpa"? Hi, girls.
Come on in.
Dinner will be ready in five minutes.
Okay.
Your mom just went up to, uh, get Sam and David cleaned up.
They were out scrubbing the picnic table.
Kind of a work program for fibbers.
Uh, grab the bread there off the counter, will you? I really have missed eating with everyone.
Have you? Yeah, I have.
Too bad Kevin couldn't be with us tonight.
Hey, maybe tomorrow night.
Tomorrow night, we're having dinner at home, just the three of us.
But I wanted to come over and see you and Mom and Sam and David.
I thought I should say something about what happened last Sunday.
Oh, that was last Sunday.
There'll be another Sunday coming along and another and another.
You don't have to explain anything to us.
We're your family.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, well, I'm I'm sure you've noticed that I've been avoiding you at the office, you know, when I go to the office.
Yeah, I kind of noticed.
Uh, only because I miss you.
I miss working with you.
Just let me say what I should have said days ago.
I'm sorry about last Sunday, Dad.
You know, I guess I wasn't quite ready to get back up in front of the church.
You know, some days are better than others last Sunday being one of the others.
Anyone say anything about it? A few people, but Hmm.
I figured.
You know I thought I was okay, but I just I can't seem To get over it? Yeah, well, don't expect that.
Don't expect to get over it.
There's really no getting over a loss like that.
There's just getting through it and-and moving on, and in time, having it take its place in the story of your life.
And that, you know, may take a lifetime, but that's okay.
As long as you keep moving on, it's okay.
That's nice.
That that helps.
Thanks.
If you feel like talking to me, kiddo, you let me know.
'Cause I I, um I haven't wanted to intrude, but I'm here, you know.
I I'll always be here for you.
You can talk to me about anything anytime.
Yeah, you and my friend at the movie theater.
Yeah, heard about that.
Hmm.
Yeah, I can't believe I hung out all night long with a teenager who has a crush on me.
And I really can't believe that he actually made me feel better.
You never know where help is going to come from.
The boys' teacher thinks that I'm handsome.
Oh.
That explains it.
