7th Heaven s11e15 Episode Script

Tit for Tat

Are you gathering up stuff for the Goodwill? Oh, no.
Uh, Mac and Jane and Margaret, they're moving into their new apartment, so I thought I'd give them some of our extra pots and pans, dishes and silverware.
We have way too much of everything.
Probably enough for three kitchens.
I'm so happy you brought that up.
Maybe we'll have enough stuff to put in the garage apartment, too.
Oh, uh no.
The garage apartment's pretty well stocked with everything that Kevin and Lucy left, you know? And, no, you cannot move into the garage apartment, if that's where you're going with all this.
You'll let me live overseas, but you won't let me live in the backyard.
Come on.
I'm old enough.
I thought it would be T Bone asking.
He likes it here in the house, but he never had a family.
- What does that mean? - Well, it means he enjoys having everyone around him, whereas I've had a family all my life, so I enjoy not having everyone around.
Hmm.
I see.
Well, if you stay here to go to college, in a few years, you can have the garage apartment.
How's that? Oh, I'm definitely not staying here for college.
Oh.
Well, I just thought I'd offer.
Well, I told you so.
Please.
That was only my first attempt.
It would be nice to have some alone time.
Yeah, it would be nice, but we agreed we're not doing anything but making out.
That's fine.
I mean, as long as we're not in a committed relationship, I don't think we should be doing anything more than making out.
A committed relationship? What's the difference in that and an exclusive relationship? It's Valentine's almost.
And a commitment means a commitment.
Like some sort of gift.
No.
Just some sort of symbol that we really are committed to each other.
A sign that you really are my boyfriend.
Yeah.
You're going to have to spell this one out for me, because, uh I'm not getting it.
I'm kind of new to Valentine's Day.
I mean, it's never really meant anything to me before.
Not that it does now.
I mean, you mean something, but a day doesn't mean anything.
I think we should both Help! Go find your father! Find him quick! 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.
I can't go in there.
You have to.
You can't hide all weekend.
I could.
I could have an emergency or something.
What kind of emergency would take you away from your parents and your family for an entire weekend? Some other family member.
Simon.
Simon.
Maybe Simon needs me up at school - for something.
- Like? I don't know.
I just.
.
I can't go in there.
I can't tell them.
Well, maybe you don't have to tell them.
- Julie.
My sister Julie told them.
-No.
Yes.
I bet she told them when she and Hank went to Buffalo for Christmas.
Well, maybe they just went to Buffalo for Christmas.
Really, maybe they don't know.
No, no.
They know.
Maybe Mary and Carlos told them.
Mary is close to them.
I sometimes think closer than Julie.
I told Mary not to say anything.
She wouldn't do something I told her not to do.
Yeah? Since when? Since I don't I don't Matt.
They went to see Matt and Sarah in the city over the holidays.
Matt can keep a secret, and you told him not to tell them.
And, as you pointed out, they don't do anything I tell them to do, any of them.
What's going on? Uh, Ruthie, take the tea into the living room.
I'm coming after you.
Well, I was just going to go down to the Promenade to meet T Bone for lunch.
He's working.
Well, how are you going to get there? Well, the bus.
People in People in Scotland take the bus everywhere.
Why are you in such a bad mood? I don't know if my parents know about my heart.
Well, you want me to find out? - Yes, yes! - Yes, yes! If I find out, will you let me move into the garage apartment? - No.
- No.
Then can I just go down to the Promenade instead? Fine.
Take the bus.
Take the bus! Well, thank goodness.
I-I thought we weren't welcome for a moment.
Oh, Colonel, please.
You and Ruth are always welcome here.
So I hear you have some new children staying at the house? Is that all you've heard? Well, three of them are are leaving today.
They're moving into a new apartment.
And that leaves one.
T Bone.
The "T" stands for Theodore.
That's the one who's in love with Ruthie? Well, Julie told us.
Oh.
She tell you anything else? Seems to me, son, you're in a bad mood.
Is it a problem that we showed up unannounced? You know, it's no, it's not it's not a problem, and and you're right.
I got some things going on with, uh with Simon, and I'm thinking of driving up there to see him.
Well, I'm sure Simon can handle his own problems.
He can't have his daddy running up to his university to help him every time he finds himself in a foxhole.
Well, so what exactly is wrong? Is it girl trouble again? Afraid so.
What kind of girl trouble? It's, um yeah it's personal.
I-I shouldn't be talking about Simon's personal business.
Not even to your own parents? Probably not.
Well, my goodness, this does sound serious.
Yeah.
Well, how serious can it be? You know, Simon's only He's young.
He's fine.
Everything's going to be fine.
Eric just worries too much.
Oh! Hi, Colonel! Hi, Grandma Ruth! Oh, look at you! Give Grandma a kiss.
Ooh! We got the mail.
There's something here for Jane.
Well, I think they're over at Kevin and Lucy's.
Kevin's making a big lunch before they take off.
- We'll take it to her.
Okay.
So, how long are you going to be staying with us? Oh, this is just a stopover on our way to Hawaii.
We take off tomorrow afternoon.
Valentine's.
We were stationed there for a while after the war and, well Well, we have many fond memories we're looking forward to reliving.
We're looking for Jane.
She got a letter.
Oh, well, you know what? They're running a little late.
They just took their first load of stuff over to their apartment.
Oh.
But have you guys had lunch yet? Because, you know, maybe you can come over here and have lunch when they get back.
That's okay.
We want to get back over to the house to see the Colonel and Grandma Ruth.
The Colonel and Ruth are here? When when did the Colonel and Ruth get here? - Today.
- Okay.
Okay, well, um, you know, I'll take that, and I'll I'll give this to Jane.
No, no, no, no, no, no! Told you so.
No! No, no, no, no! Don't don't do "I told you so" when I'm right in the middle of a heart attack! They got right on a plane and flew out.
I'm surprised your dad didn't have a heart attack.
Dad is going to kill me! He's going to kill me! But on the other hand, it doesn't exactly mean that the Colonel and Ruth told him that that I told them.
True, but that doesn't mean they won't tell him.
No.
The Colonel is the Colonel, and he said that he wouldn't say a word.
He got on the first plane out and flew cross-country to see him.
- Let's get out of town.
- Run? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Run, run, run, run as fast as we can.
What about church tomorrow? Oh, I can skip church.
I can totally skip church if I had a really good reason.
And we'll-we'll come up with a really good reason to get out of town.
And I and I can call Sandy and ask her to sit in for me.
And-and she needs more experience, you know? She-she told me that she needs more experience.
So I will just call her and tell her that we have a problem and we've got to go out of town.
And she will totally come down.
Again.
Oh! I-I and I just made her come down for that stupid class.
I oh, I wasted her on that stupid class, and now I need her here tomorrow and you know, so we can take care of the problem.
Yeah, we got to we got to get out of town and take care of the problem.
And what problem would that be? I don't know, you know.
Maybe Simon.
Simon needs our help.
That's ridiculous.
Is it? He always needs our help.
Not this year.
Okay.
Hello.
Oh, hey, Sandy, it's me.
Uh, Kevin and I have to go up and see Simon 'cause he has a little bit of a problem, um, so I was just wondering if you could drive back down here and take care of the dogs.
And, you know, I know you needed to sit in on a few more church services, and I was thinking, well, you know, maybe tomorrow would be great if you'd like.
Hey, slow down.
I meant to call you because I drove down to see a friend, so I'm actually already down here, so of course.
But is everything okay with Simon? No, obviously not.
What I meant to say was, is there anything I can do? Oh, no, no, no.
Everything's going to be okay.
Um, so could I just leave the keys for you - so we could take off? - Yeah, sure.
But would you mind if I had some company stop by later? Martin? Actually, no.
Uh, that's kind of why I'm down here.
I met someone new, but we can't see each other on Valentine's Day because he has to work and I can't come down in the middle of the week.
You met someone? Oh, oh, oh, you know what? Forget it.
Um, whoever it is, yeah, yeah, it's fine.
Um, so come on over and the keys will be underneath the mat.
Okay.
Bye.
We're home.
We're idiots.
Why did we do this? I don't know.
Because we're adults.
We're all grown up, and we need our own space.
I mean, it feels good to be independent, doesn't it? You can come and go anytime you want and do whatever you want.
But not whatever you want.
What does that mean? It means, despite the fact that you're smitten by her, you can't come anywhere near her, as signed in the agreement between the three of us.
Don't worry.
I'm not going to come anywhere near either one of you.
We're just friends.
We're roommates.
I mean, come on, this is going to be fun.
It's our first Valentine's together.
I haven't had anyone to do anything with on Valentine's since I can't even remember.
Me, neither.
I've kind of always made it a personal goal to have a boyfriend at Valentine's.
Is that so? You don't have a boyfriend this Valentine's; - you have a husband.
- Still counts.
You know, if it's a matter of personal goal, I'd be willing to step outside of the agreement for just the one day.
I have a husband.
That you don't want to be married to.
Still counts.
- Hello.
- Hello.
So we never got to finish our conversation.
What is it that I'm supposed to buy you? That's not exactly romantic.
Well, neither is mentioning that I have to do something for Valentine's for you.
It's something we're going to do for each other.
Let's get tattoos.
Tattoos? So what do you think? I Oh, oh, Annie.
We just hate to put you out of your own room.
We feel terrible about it.
We really should have called first.
No, I'm just so sorry that the garage apartment isn't cleaned up for you.
I'm going to paint it when the girls move out, but it really is a mess.
Don't-don't you worry about us.
We'll be fine.
Well, you know, sometimes we do worry about you and Eric.
You two just never seem to get tired of taking on the world's problems.
And that's fine when you're younger, but as you grow older, well You and the Colonel took George in when you were older than Eric and I are.
Yes, we did, but then his dad came around, and they moved into the guest cottage.
And, you know, they ended up helping us out far more than we ever helped them out.
George finished college and went straight into the Army.
And, you know, I was hoping he'd call you when he was finishing up basic out here.
Well, you know how young people are.
Yeah, I wish he had called us, too.
I haven't seen him in so many years, I don't know if I'd recognize him.
Oh, he's quite handsome.
And he is such a nice young man.
And, of course, the Colonel is so proud that he's going into the military as a career.
You know, maybe Simon should consider going into the military.
The Marines are always looking for a few good men.
A few good men Simon? Oh, I don't think so.
Well, if the boy's got a problem, the military I don't think joining the military would be the right thing for Simon.
George signed up, you know.
Yeah, but his dad was in the CIA, and, you know, I mean, he always had an interest in world politics and the military and espionage.
But Simon Simon's Simon's interested in money and show business.
He wants to do something in film or be an executive at a studio, something like that.
He's thinking about going to law school and majoring in communications law.
Well, yes, I'm sure show business can be a noble profession.
I suppose.
How far away does Simon live? A couple of hours.
Why don't we ride up there together? I don't mind doing that.
You know, your mother and I will have plenty of quality time once we get to the island.
No, no, I think you're right.
It's, you know, probably best to stay out of it.
Hmm.
You know? We're not even going to say hello to your grandparents? Uh, nope.
We can't.
We'll call them from the road and tell them we're sorry we missed them.
Ooh, hide.
Hey.
I wanted to see if you had any rope or something I could tie down the truck with.
I'm finishing up before I go to work, and Margaret and Jane are already down at the Dairy Shack.
It's all clear.
Who are you hiding from? Um, no one, no one.
We-we just are going out of town, you know, going up to see Simon.
You know, he's got some problems some serious problems but, uh, Sandy's coming over, you know, taking care of the house, you know, taking care of the dogs and taking over for me at church tomorrow.
Oh, but the rope is in the locker in the garage.
Um, it's all open, so help yourself.
Oh, and-and there's a letter for Jane, so be sure she gets it.
And yeah, okay, so good-bye, and good luck with everything, and, uh, we'll see you later.
So Simon's having a serious problem? Yeah, so, um, you know, we got to go up there and, you know, talk to him.
Oh, I I didn't know.
I'm sorry.
Is there anything I can do? No, no, nothing.
This family wow, you guys are going through so much.
I don't see how you do it.
It's just me and my mom and my dad, and I can barely get through a week without some trauma.
Okay, yeah, well, we'll see you later.
All right.
See you.
What? Hey, guys.
- Hi.
- Hi.
We're late.
We'll see you later, okay? Oh, wait.
I-I got to ask you something.
Do you have a tattoo? Yep.
How long have you had it? Um You aren't thinking of getting a tattoo, are you? I don't know.
Maybe.
You don't want to do that.
Once you have it, you have it for life.
You might change your mind about whatever you carve into yourself, and then, ugh, you're stuck.
Don't do it.
Yeah, well, I mean, I didn't say I was going to do it.
I just said that I was thinking about it.
Well, I got mine around the corner over there at Fast Fritz's.
What? It's no big deal.
It is if your parents don't smoke pot.
Uh, we got to go.
We'll see you later.
Don't don't do it.
Fast Fritz's.
It's just around the corner.
I don't know, Ruthie Camden.
I mean, this does not sound like the best idea to me.
Fine, don't do it.
But I'm still going to do it.
I like tattoos.
And I like guys with tattoos.
Look, it's not like we're having sex.
It's just a tattoo.
What are we having tattooed? I mean, where am I going to permanently scar my body, and with what? Well, I'll get your name, and you can get my name.
- Theodore or T Bone? - Which do you prefer? I prefer you just call me by either one of those.
I mean, that'd be fine with me.
Just to hear your voice calling out my name.
I mean, that's all I really need.
"Happy Valentine's Day, T Bone.
" So I guess what you're saying is you don't want to do it? No, I did not say that, but let me say it.
- I don't want to do it.
- Why not? Okay, for one thing, we've been seeing each other for what, two months, ten weeks, tops? - And? -And maybe we don't know each other well enough to have our names put permanently onto each other's bodies, you know? Maybe we should hold off for, say the third anniversary of our wedding.
So you would have had sex with me, but you can't even get a tattoo with my name on it.
Is that so unreasonable? Okay.
I'll do it.
Whatever.
I mean, it's not that big a deal.
Good.
My mom wants me home for dinner, so I'll go now and you can go later when Mac comes in to take over for you.
I don't think we'll be able to take the bandages off by Valentine's, but Bandages are involved? I think they'll put a bandage over them, yeah.
All right, I'm assuming that we will be hiding these tattoos until we're both safely moved out of your parents' house? I think you can assume that, yeah.
So, I mean It's up to you.
I can't wait to see.
Neither can I.
Oh, Ruthie, where have you been? I've been trying to call you.
Dinner's almost ready.
The Colonel and Ruth will only be here for 24 hours.
I'm sorry.
The battery on my phone died, and I took the bus home.
I don't really feel all that well.
I I think I'm going to go to bed.
Why didn't you call me? You look really pale.
Let me feel your forehead.
Oh, maybe you have a fever.
No, really, it's the onion rings I ate at the Dairy Shack.
They just didn't agree with me.
I'm not really that hungry.
I'm just going to go lie down.
Okay.
And remember, don't mention my heart problem, okay? We won't.
We didn't all day.
I know.
You've done really well.
Thank you.
But the Colonel and Grandma Ruth can be very tricky.
You know, the Colonel was a Marine, and Marines are really good at getting people to tell them their secrets, so just finish your dinner, get back upstairs quickly.
Just don't make it hard on yourselves.
Just get out of their way.
How come you don't want them knowing that you're having heart problems? I just, uh you know, it's well, they're my mom and dad, and they're older and And if you die, you want it to be a surprise? Yes, that's exactly right.
It's pretty hard to surprise Grandpa.
But that might do it.
Yeah.
Hi.
Have room for two more? Oh, Sandy, hi.
Of course.
How are you? Eric's mom and dad popped in from New York.
We're trying to keep Eric's heart condition a secret from them, but So it's just so good to see you.
You want to call Kevin and Lucy and tell them dinner's ready, see if they want to come, too? Oh, Lucy didn't tell you? She and Kevin are driving up to see Simon.
Simon? Why are they driving all the way up there? Lucy didn't mention she was going to see Simon? No.
Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it.
Well, is is he okay? I don't know.
I think they just wanted to talk to him.
Maybe a girlfriend problem or something.
But I'm actually down here because I met someone new.
- Again? - Well, I think you know him.
I met him when I sat in with the teen mothers, the birthing class Dr.
Sanderson.
I do know him.
Is Simon having a problem? Hey, sorry I was unloading boxes, and I-I forgot what time it was.
If you want, you can just go back and finish unpacking, and I'll cover for you tonight.
That's really nice, T Bone.
Thanks, but, uh, I've got to pay rent now.
I have responsibilities.
I have to work.
All right, if you insist.
- Everything okay? - No.
I thought something was wrong.
What's going on? Nothing I can't handle myself.
I suppose.
Sandy.
I didn't know you were coming.
Good to see you.
- Hello.
- Hi, Sandy.
Good to see you, too.
Lucy and Kevin took off to check on Simon he's having some problems.
Did you have anything to do with that? There's something wrong with Simon? I doubt it.
So why would they be going up there? Maybe they're lying.
Why would they lie? I don't know.
I don't have any information.
Lucy just asked me to come down and Really, I was already down here because I met someone She told.
She told them.
Lucy's the big, fat blabbermouth.
No, Eric, you don't know that.
Hello, everyone.
Oh, I'm starving.
Well, Sandy.
How are you? Good to see you.
And this must be little Aaron? Yeah.
What do you want? Hey, roomie.
Got any extra fries down there? I'm starving.
And I suppose you think we deliver? I can't leave the booth for, like, another half hour.
And I picked up a piece of mail for you.
I think it came to the Camdens'.
Yeah, I'm sure it's very important.
Mac's trying to get me to come down to the booth and bring him some fries.
Says he has a piece of my mail from the Camdens.
Well, maybe he does.
Why would he say he did if he didn't? You'd find out.
Well, if you believe him, you go.
Why should I go? He doesn't have my mail.
Please.
If I go, he might think it means something.
Come on, I like him, but I am never going to like him like he could like me, and I don't want to start bringing him food.
He's going to make something of it you know he would.
No, he wouldn't.
All right.
I just don't want to step away because there's a guy I'm hoping might come by.
What guy? Just a guy.
Two, please.
Okay, but, uh, the movie already started.
I like to watch from the middle to the end and then back to the beginning.
That way, if I don't like the movie, I can leave at the end when everyone else does and I haven't wasted my time seeing the whole thing.
But if you do like the movie and you stay to see the first part, then you already know how the movie ends.
All right.
What happened to the other guy? The nice guy, who can carry on a decent conversation without insulting anyone? He'll he'll be back tomorrow.
Fries and a root beer.
Well, thank you, Margaret.
That was awfully sweet.
But I don't think I have enough money for both.
That's why I just asked for the fries.
It's okay it's on the house.
Those were the last fries in the pan, and some guy returned the drink.
It was supposed to be an orange soda.
My mistake.
Well, thank you.
I appreciate that.
Maybe I can get you into the theater sometime.
Jane wants her mail.
Yeah, I was looking at this, and I think it's from a law office.
I guess I'll have to come out and get these, or you just could, uh These look like divorce papers.
You think? Y-y-you think? It's Valentine's.
We can't give her this.
It'd be too depressing.
Then again, maybe we should just give them to her.
What, so you can be the Valentine's guy? You're pathetic.
Pathetic.
Help.
I tried to call, see if you needed a ride home.
Uh, what happened to your new cell phone? Oh! Who can remember to charge those things? People who need rides home? Oh, well, Mac dropped me off.
Are you limping? No, no, I'm just not feeling that well.
You know, a little under the weather.
I'm just going to grab some aspirin and then go to bed.
You know, Ruthie's not feeling well, either.
I guess that's the downside of making out so much shared germs.
Yes.
Indeed.
Well, learned my lesson.
Okay, well, uh oh.
Here's the, uh, aspirin.
Oh.
- Thanks.
- Good night.
Yes.
Oh, uh how'd it go with your folks? Oh, fine.
Just, yeah just fine.
Uh, make sure you plug your phone in.
You scared the life out of me.
What's going on? Where is everyone, and why aren't you at the apartment? We moved.
We got to get out of here, though.
I just got that T Bone home, and he is in big trouble.
What, is he drunk or something? Not drunk; he's sick.
He got a tattoo.
Idiot.
Uh, I thought I'd surprise Sandy, so I'm going in anyway.
Oh, Sandy's not in there.
She's over at Lucy's and Kevin's.
They went to drive up to go see Simon.
He's having some kind of problem.
- Really? - Yeah, that's what they said.
All right, well, I'll go see Sandy.
Ooh, nice.
Maybe we can have the house to ourselves.
Maybe you can.
And I'll be heading home to see my two new roommates.
Yeah, good luck with that, lucky duck.
Yeah, I think it's nice.
I think Jane got her divorce papers in the mail today.
Divorce papers? Yeah, Margaret thinks I ought to wait a few days, you know? Until after Valentine's, but I don't know.
I think, if she gets them now, she could be over it by Valentine's.
She's going to get over her divorce in three days? Well, they were only married for three weeks until she told him that she wanted out.
How long should it take? Especially if I'm there to, you know comfort her, make her feel better.
She's not interested in you.
Yeah, but things can change.
You know, you never know.
Today's relationship is tomorrow's breakup.
Yeah, you let me know what happens with that.
All right? See you.
Good night.
So this is Reverend Kinkirk's house? This is, like, a church parsonage? No, Lucy and Kevin bought it, and they did a lot of remodeling.
I don't think I have a single practical skill.
Maybe painting.
I could possibly paint a room.
Have you ever painted a room? No.
Uh-uh.
Uh look, there's something I got to confess.
Uh, I talked to a social worker, Greta, and I asked all about you before I called.
I kind of know your story.
I have something to confess, as well.
Greta called me and told me that she told you my story when she asked if it was okay to give you my phone number.
It's probably one of the Camdens.
Eric and Annie live behind the house.
They come over all the time.
Who's there? It's me.
It's Martin, Aaron's dad.
I'm sorry.
I think I can handle it.
I wasn't expecting you.
Uh, yeah.
Obviously.
This is my friend, Jonathan Sanderson.
We were just having a cup of tea.
Jonathan, this is Martin.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
Sandy and I have a son together.
Could I see my son, if you don't mind? No, I don't mind.
He's in Savannah's room, and he's already asleep, and it took me a while to get him to sleep because he's in a new place, so if you could see him without waking him up, that would be great.
And if you have to wake him up, then you get to put him back to sleep.
He has a tendency to just show up sometimes.
I'm sorry.
I was having a really good time.
Yeah, me me, too.
I'm sorry I got here so late.
It's just, this poor girl was in delivery for 20 hours.
And not girl.
Sorry.
Woman.
I still talk like my dad sometimes.
Uh I'm going to get going.
I guess it wouldn't be right to kiss you good night with him here.
Good night.
Thanks for letting me come by.
I wish I could, uh, make it up here on Valentine's Day, but I just I just can't.
But I'll call you.
Unless you're busy.
I won't be.
Yeah.
I'm on my way.
Oh, I won't be.
I don't think I said "oh.
" Maybe I was planning to come over on Valentine's Day.
Martin, I think you should quit assuming things, okay? And I don't think it's a good idea for you to stay here tonight.
Really, I don't.
I'm ordering up one of these when we get back.
Fine with me, Colonel.
I like this.
- Thank God we only had two kids.
- Mmm! I don't know I don't know how Annie and Eric make it.
I don't, either.
I guess there's no need to mention what George is going through.
No.
No need to.
He is Private George Jackson Grayson now.
He's a man and a soldier.
He made a mistake, but he is taking it like a man.
Oh, I would like to meet the girl who broke his heart.
Yeah, so would I.
Maybe we should try to look her up.
Maybe we could change her mind.
Too late for that.
Still, I'm glad we came.
Me, too.
What do you think? I think I've been in enough combat situations to recognize the stench of death approaching.
I don't smell a thing; not a thing, Ruth.
Unless it's a rat where that business with Simon is concerned.
I agree.
Well, I think we ran Lucy out of town, and I think Eric's going to make it.
I don't care what the doctors say.
I know my boy.
To the love of my life.
And to mine.
You girls look very sister-like.
How would you know? You never had sisters.
I imagined sisters.
And when I imagined them, it was a lot like this.
Just find the blankets, please.
I want to go to bed.
We did bring the blankets, right? I guess so.
Wait a minute.
Weren't you in charge of getting the sheets and blankets from Mrs.
Camden? Oh! Right! Um Um that's not a problem.
I'll get them somebody's probably still up at the house.
I doubt it.
Well, then, I'll head over to Lucy's and Kevin's.
Martin's there.
He'll be up.
It's not a problem.
Is that my mail? Uh, yeah, yeah, I think it is.
I thought you said I didn't have any mail.
Liar! I think these are my divorce papers.
I'm I'm not signing them.
Not until after Wednesday.
Until Wednesday, I am Mrs.
Private George Jackson Grayson.
George? Yeah, I never really liked it, either.
That's why I called him Jack.
Oh, I'm sorry it's taking so long.
We ran out of hot water.
It seems like everyone waited till this morning to take a shower.
Eric will be down any minute.
We saved you some hot water we showered together.
Oh! Colonel! You don't have to share all our secrets.
Nothing's wrong with keeping a few things to ourselves, is there? No, you don't; nobody does.
Hi! Colonel, Grandma Ruth! Oh, it's so good to see you.
I'm so glad we got back before you left.
Hi! Hey.
Back so soon? I thought you were skipping church today.
Impossible.
Hi, Colonel.
Ruth.
Good to see you.
Kevin.
Well, look at that adorable little girl.
Ah, she looks just like you.
Aw.
Okay, we're five minutes from blastoff.
The boys are changing their shoes.
Well, look who's here.
I couldn't stay away.
I couldn't.
I didn't even want to miss one Sunday in church with you.
Aw, you're entirely too sentimental, Lucy.
You've a lifetime to be at the front of the church with your dad.
Nothing like taking a little time off to be with your husband.
Oh, and Miss Savannah, she'd do just fine, I imagine, being left behind once in a while.
I imagine.
Can't disagree.
So I thought you got Sandy to fill in for you so you could go up and see about Simon.
Oh, well, we went up and saw him, and it was no big deal he's fine um, and Sandy's going to meet us at the church with Aaron.
We'll meet you there, too.
We're going to have to leave about mid-service.
We have to turn in the rental car and get to the flight.
Thanks, Dad.
I really appreciate the two of you being in church this morning.
It's been a long time since I looked out and saw you in the congregation.
Well, I'll I'll tell you what.
Now that George is off and on his own, we've been thinking that maybe we'll spend more time out here.
We think we might even move out here.
Well, yes, we might.
Uh, you know, I like the California weather.
Now, let's get going, Ruth.
We want to get a seat in the back row so we don't disturb anyone on the way out.
So they're moving here? They would move here? I may be the luckiest one of you, after all.
Hi.
We used to live here.
Oh, hi.
Uh, we're Eric's parents.
Colonel John Camden, United States Marine Corps, Retired; and this lovely lady at my side is my wife, Ruth.
I've heard a lot about you guys.
I'm Mac.
This is Margaret.
This is Jane.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Darling, you look very familiar for some reason.
What did you say your name is? It's Jane.
Jane Grayson.
Mrs.
Private George Jackson Grayson until Wednesday, and then it's just back to Jane.
Ruthie! T Bone! Let's go! Hi.
How are you? I'm better, I mean, considering.
How are you? I'm still hurting.
I don't know how I'm going to sit through the entire church service.
Yeah.
So where's the tattoo? And yours? Okay, don't get angry.
What do you mean? You did get a tattoo? No, I-I did, I did.
But what you have to understand is that I have a huge, huge fear of needles.
Show me.
Ever since I was a kid, I I would faint at the sight of a needle.
Show me.
Okay.
