7th Heaven s11e17 Episode Script

We should get up.
We should.
The boys are up.
Yeah, I think they are.
You know, brilliant idea teaching them how to make toast.
I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner.
How much time does making toast buy us? Like, ten, 15 minutes? - Twenty.
- To make toast? Imagine.
Well, they have to get the toaster out, and then the bread, and the butter and the jam.
And they toast one piece at a time because, of course, it's so much fun cooking breakfast.
I'm I'm surprised you didn't stumble across toast sooner.
I always enjoy making breakfast for the children.
I like it when they help out with lunch and dinner, but breakfast is just one of those little things that makes me feel like the mom.
And now you don't want to feel like the mom? Oh, no, it's I-I just want to be your wife, and I want to sleep in with you, and I want to spend time with you in the morning.
I'm not going anywhere.
I know.
Everything's going to be fine.
I know.
You keep saying that.
No, see, if you knew if you really knew then the boys wouldn't be down there making toast, and you wouldn't be here buttering me up.
I know that you're going to be fine.
I do.
I just wish that the doctors knew it, too.
I-I wish that what we know what you and I both know would show up in a test or something.
Or some what? Some sign or some small wonder? Something from God that would indicate - that I'm going to live? - Well, yeah.
I don't think God does signs and wonders.
I mean, I don't think we should expect him to do magic tricks just so we can believe that life is good and I'm going to live.
Well, I wasn't exactly saying that.
Because no matter what the doctors say, I believe that I have a personal relationship with God that's going to keep me around a good deal longer.
But, unlike T Bone, God doesn't give out promise rings.
Oh, please, don't get upset.
Please, I-I was just saying that I wish that our feelings about your health would be validated in in some way.
And I wasn't saying that I don't think you're going to live a long and healthy life.
I'm sure you are.
And I don't even know what that promise ring that T Bone gave Ruthie means.
Do you? Let's hope it's a promise that the two of them have agreed to wait till they get married to have sex.
And if it doesn't mean that, what would it mean? It would mean that he's promised to marry her someday, which probably means they're thinking about having sex today.
Where did our morning go wrong? I mean, just moments ago, all was right with the world, and then And then I found out that the boys were making their own toast because you don't really believe I'm going to be around much longer.
You are so Help! Someone help me! - What happened? - Are you okay? What is it, Ruthie? What's wrong, Ruthie? What is it? Look The diamond.
The diamond in my ring, it's gone! Oh Gone.
Yeah.
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 know that diamond is very important to you, but your dad's heart is important to me and to all of us so I'd really appreciate it if you don't scream the next time some little Is something burning? The toast! The toast! Hey! Where's everyone going? It's-it's just toast! T Bone? Someone yell "toast"? Is a piece of toast more important than my life? We have to find that diamond.
- Oh, we will.
- Promise.
Promise? I don't know.
I mean, uh, I'm optimistic, but I'm also realistic.
That diamond is the size of a pinhead.
I don't care what size the diamond is.
It's just a bad sign that it fell out.
Bad sign? From where? What, the universe? From the universe, life, God.
I don't know.
You think that the universe or life or God cares about a teeny, tiny little diamond falling out of your ring? I mean, maybe, but there's a lot going on in the world right now that just might It's a promise ring.
You can't even promise me that you'll help me find the diamond in the promise ring that you gave me? I thought this meant something to you, too.
Um of course.
Then, promise.
Promise.
I'm going to look around my room again.
Are you coming? Yes, dear.
Uh, you know, it's-it's it's okay.
It you know, it's really it's just a it's a stroke of genius that you only make one piece of toast at a time, 'cause this way you only lost one piece instead of two.
It was his toast.
And I let it burn.
It's-it's-it's no big deal.
We'll just take it out and crumble it up and feed it to the birds.
Come on.
That's okay.
I don't want to feed it to the birds.
I'm just going to eat cereal from now on.
No.
Pouring cereal into a bowl is not cooking.
Making toast, now, that's cooking.
You love making toast.
And we love when you make toast.
- We I do, anyway.
- Oh, yeah.
It's not your fault, Sam.
It's Ruthie's fault.
It's nobody's fault.
It's just a piece of toast.
It's nothing.
Maybe it's a sign from God that Sam shouldn't make toast.
Or maybe it's a sign from God that the birds are hungry and need to be fed.
Not that you believe in signs.
Not that I do, and, in fact, I don't.
Why wouldn't God want me to make toast? 'Cause you burn it.
It has to be here.
It has to.
And if we can't find it, I'll just get you another one.
Another one? There's not another one.
I'm pretty sure there is.
Well, I'm pretty sure there isn't.
That's the diamond in my first diamond ring.
I don't want it replaced.
I want to find it.
Well, I want to find it, too.
What does that mean? That I want to find the diamond.
Just as much as you want to find the diamond.
Kind of like you wanted to get a tattoo just as much as I wanted to get a tattoo? I never said I wanted to get a tattoo.
I said I would get a tattoo.
And I did.
Yeah, that postage stamp on your ankle barely counts as a tattoo.
Barely, but it counts.
Although, it's certainly not as nice as your tattoo.
No, it's not.
I want that diamond.
- All right.
- You keep saying that.
I don't know what else to say.
Look, if there's no diamond, there's no ring, and if there's no ring, there's no promise, and if there's no promise, then we're never getting married.
Whoa.
Whose rules are those? Is that Vulcan logic or something? How are we supposed to get married and have a life together if we can't even keep the diamond in my ring? I don't really see how an itsy-bitsy diamond falling out of your ring has anything to do with our getting married and having a life together.
It does.
It has everything to do with it.
Oh, okay, sorry.
Well, then, let's find that diamond.
Okay.
If anyone should be giving anyone else that look, don't you think it should be me glaring at you? I mean, you lost the stupid thing.
Oh, so now it's my fault if we break up? And now we're breaking up.
I don't know.
All I know is we don't have a chance of ever being together if I don't get that diamond back in my ring.
But if we find it, I just know that everything will work out fine.
And if we don't if we don't, I don't know what will happen.
How about nothing? How about nothing's going to happen? How about things are going to be the same as they were before you lost the diamond? No, they won't.
Help! Thanks, guys.
I appreciate the help.
Don't worry.
We'll find it, T Bone.
Yeah, don't worry.
Not worried.
And why is that? Just, uh, reassuring the little guys.
Hey, what's going on? We're looking for the diamond that fell out of Ruthie's ring.
- Did Ruthie ask you to look for the diamond? -Yes.
It was a little bit more than an ask.
But we're happy to help.
We owe you our lives.
Ruthie said that? That you owe us your lives? Well, you don't owe us anything.
It was our pleasure to help you when you needed help.
Okay.
Where's Eric? He's sitting on the back steps.
Still? I saw you looking at me.
We weren't looking at you.
Especially me.
You have to get dressed and get out of here.
Red is waiting for you.
You told him that you'd visit him this morning.
I'll just tell him I came over.
You know, he won't know.
He-he he doesn't remember that I was there last week, or the week before, or the week before that.
Eric Camden! You get up and go over to that poor man's house! He's expecting you.
Or, as I pointed out, he may not be expecting me.
I just, I don't feel like making house calls today.
I think I'll just go back to bed.
It was This thing came out of nowhere.
It just appeared on the lawn like it had a purpose, you know, a purpose in being here.
And if it had a purpose it was to deliver a bad message.
It was a bad omen.
It was a very bad omen.
I see, so so God doesn't do signs and wonders, but there are bad omens.
Maybe this didn't come from God.
No, maybe this came from somewhere else or something else.
This was an evil bird.
It was a big, black, evil bird, and it stared at me, looked right through me like it was piercing my soul.
A bird stared at you.
A big, black, evil bird stared at you.
Are-are you listening to yourself? It sounds crazy, I know, but until that big, black, evil bird stared at me, I was sure I was going to live, you know.
I mean, not forever, but I was sure I was going to live for a good long time.
But the bird changed all that? It doesn't help that you had your own doubts this morning.
I just wanted to spend some time with you! Because? I'll tell you what, you know.
Why don't you get ready, go over to Red's house, like you promised, and I'll-I'll sit here and wait for the bird to come, you know, and and I'll talk to him and see if he really knows anything.
Oh, sure, mock me, yeah.
I'm telling you, Annie, it's as if one glance from this bird shook my entire faith.
It was that powerful.
It was that clear.
This bird, this thing connected with me on some kind of cosmic level where intelligence and nature come together.
Okay, it wasn't the sign you wanted, but this is the sign you got.
And this was what is.
I'll tell you what is.
What is, is that that bird is just a stupid bird! That if you hadn't thrown bread crumbs in the backyard this morning, you never would have seen him.
But you couldn't deal with the kids and the toast, and you wanted to get out of the kitchen 'cause you were mad at me 'cause I wanted to spend time with you.
You know, and forgive me for asking for a sign.
I don't need a sign.
You're fine.
You're just in a bad mood this morning.
So we'll go back to no signs.
There are no signs.
I wish I could go back.
Yeah, I wish I could.
If I thought you were really dying, do you think I would be, like, you know, yelling at you like this? Afraid so.
Maybe we should try another room.
Well, Ruthie said it was in here or on the stairs or in her room.
Again, I don't know why we have to find that particular diamond.
Because she wants that particular diamond.
She wants the diamond she lost.
Do you think it was that small in nature? I mean, do you think somebody mined that? I think maybe it fell out of somebody's tooth and made its way to the jeweler.
Hey, by the way, I saw you looking at us.
I wasn't looking at you or Margaret.
I Mm-hmm.
Yeah, well, I had to have something to do while we're down here because we're not going to find that stupid diamond.
It's not stupid, okay? Of course not.
I was just frustrated because we can't find it.
I want to find it.
Believe me, I'm here to find your diamond.
And I'm not going anywhere anywhere until we find it.
I'm committed.
No, you're not.
You don't even know what commitment is.
It's my diamond.
It's a real diamond.
And it might be small, but it's real, and it belongs in my ring my promise ring because what T Bone and I have is real.
Our feelings are real.
Got it? She went out the back.
Yeah.
I'm just hoping she's not going to ask me to look through the grass.
Aren't you supposed to be at work? No.
You're supposed to be.
- When? - Ten minutes.
Why didn't anybody tell me? I always work nights on the weekends.
You work matinees.
I called in and told our boss that an emergency came up, and I tried to leave a message on your cell phone to let you know he'd be calling you, and I assumed he also tried to call you.
My cell phone's not working.
What emergency? The diamond.
Of course.
The diamond.
I had it on before I went to bed.
And then I took it off to put some lotion on my hands, and then I put it back on before I went downstairs to get some juice.
And then I had it on when I went to bed, and I just woke up this morning, and it was gone.
Maybe the Tooth Fairy took it.
Shut up, Kevin.
Well, did you shake out your pillow or your blanket? "Shut up"? I don't think so, toots.
You know what? Kevin's right.
We don't need to be telling anyone to shut up.
Especially me.
Kevin, Ruthie is really upset about losing her diamond, and It's not funny! Kevin.
Lucy.
Well, that diamond means a lot to her.
Oh, come on.
What is a promise ring, anyway? I don't know.
It means different things to different people.
Is it a promise to make a promise - to get engaged to get married? - Well, it could be.
Or is it that they're promising to be with each other for the rest of their lives so they can have sex right now? Well, it could be that also, I-I guess.
I mean, most teenagers, I think, you know, make the promise not to have sex until they're married, and then the guy gives the girl a ring as a symbol of that commitment.
Oh, come on.
That's ridiculous.
That whole promise ring is a bunch of baloney.
With or without a diamond.
You think T Bone and Ruthie promise not to have sex with each other until they get married, and then he goes out and buys her a diamond ring to celebrate? - And why not? - Because he's a guy and he's had sex before, so I kind of doubt he's out celebrating not having sex again until he gets married.
Could we just change the subject before we get in an argument over this stupid promise ring? So you agree it's stupid.
Could we just change the subject? All right.
How's the job hunt going? I'm not hunting for a job.
Yeah, I know, but they're hunting for a minister.
Hear from them? They still haven't called yet.
And if they do call? Well, then, I'll take it as a sign that that's God's plan for me.
God's plan? Yeah, you know maybe taking on a church of my own is something I should be doing, you know.
Helping where I'm needed.
You know, that's why they call what I do a "calling.
" You don't think you're needed at your father's church? I think my dad is perfectly capable of running his own church without me, you know.
I and I think his health is going to be fine.
Even if he is fine, he's going to need your help, don't you think? What do you mean by, "Even even if he's fine"? Okay, he's fine.
Well, you believe that, don't you? I want to believe it.
Well, what's keeping you from believing it? I don't know.
His medical reports, what his doctors are saying.
I don't care what they're saying.
- I believe he's going to be fine.
-Do you? Kevin, I-I don't believe that God would send me to another church if something was going to happen to my dad.
No, don't do this.
Don't cast doubts on what I believe.
I believe that my dad is going to live, and he's going to live a long life and a healthy and happy life, and everything's going to be fine.
Let's not question that, okay? In fact, you know what? Let's go out there and lift our moods up and, you know, do something positive.
- Come on.
- Like? Like find that diamond for Ruthie.
I'll watch Savannah.
You go look for the diamond.
- I don't want to waste my time.
-Oh! That's when I caught my first bullet, right in the leg.
Went through the muscle, cartilage, uh, not the bone.
Hurt like hell.
I thought I'd die.
My buddies gave me a flask of whiskey while one of them cleaned the wound.
I'd never tasted whiskey, so my face turned bright red.
- That's how I got the name Red.
- Oh.
Yeah.
Didn't have red hair.
That's what most people assume.
That my gray hair used to be red, and that's, uh that's how I got the name Red.
But that's a false assumption.
I still can't drink whiskey.
Give me a drop, and to this day, my face will turn red.
Yeah.
That's why I became a a beer drinker.
Mm-hmm.
My doctor doesn't approve of it, but, uh, I like beer.
A good, strong, dark German beer.
Yeah.
Germany that's where I got shot.
Thought you got shot in the leg.
I did get shot in the leg.
I was in Germany.
Aren't you listening? I was just trying to make a little joke.
No, you weren't.
You were just being a wiseacre.
Maybe you should try root beer.
- What? - Root beer.
You were saying your doctor didn't approve of you drinking beer, so I was just suggesting root beer.
Oh, you were, were you? Well, look, Reverend, I may be old, but I ain't no sissy-drinking soda lover.
I'm sorry, Red.
I-I didn't mean to imply anything of the sort.
Yes, you did.
You're in a bad mood today.
Ever tell you how I got my name? It was in Germany.
Caught a bullet, right in the leg.
Maybe the world's coming to an end.
You-you know, a lot of people believe that.
A lot of people believe that there are signs all around us that the world is coming to an end.
That's how people are going to know that the world is coming to an end? A crow is going to go door-to- door telling people that? It was not a crow; it was a raven.
And it looked at me like like it had a message.
It was a bird looking for food.
Did you see that thing? Yes, I saw it.
Kevin, you know maybe you're right.
Maybe my dad's not all right.
Maybe he needs me.
May-maybe the church needs me.
Maybe my family needs me.
May-maybe I can't ever really leave.
Then I will.
Come on, Savannah.
What, so you're just going to go out there with that thing out there? Yeah.
Well See you later.
Coast is clear no bird.
That was not just a bird.
Two, please.
It's sold out.
Oh, it's you.
Another former boyfriend? No, this is Martin's friend, Mac.
Don't you usually just work the night shift? I do.
Who's he? Uh, this is a friend of mine.
Jonathan Sanderson.
Friend, interested in being more than a friend.
You dating him? Oh, no need to panic.
Martin knows.
He's, uh, babysitting.
He's got Aaron tonight.
I don't know, Sandy.
I don't know if this is a good sign.
Should you be dating someone when you want to marry Martin? No.
I think what Sandy is saying or what I hope she's saying is that she doesn't want to marry Martin.
Okay, not that this is the time or the place to discuss this, but he's right I don't want to marry Martin.
I thought Martin and I someday would get married, but that changed.
When you met him? Jonathan.
Sorry, I-I just I can't picture Sandy dating anybody else.
I mean, she was in love with Simon at one point, but Martin is the father of her baby.
I know that.
Well, I didn't know about the Simon guy, but I do know Martin is Aaron's father.
That's a very serious thing, you know two people having a baby.
Yeah, I'm familiar with the problems that come from having children outside of marriage.
- I work with single mothers.
- You work with them? I'm a resident at Hart County hospital.
You live at the hospital? No, he's a doctor an ob-gyn.
An "obgin"? Yes.
He delivers babies.
He's an obstetrician-gynecologist.
Oh, no, you're not having another baby, are you? No, I'm not having another baby.
I'm helping out at the teen home that Annie and Lucy set up.
I'm doing group sessions and giving them my perspective on single motherhood.
I met Jonathan when he was there giving a birthing class.
I see.
No offense, but shouldn't a woman be doing that? - We really should have left at the "sold out.
" -Yeah.
Hey, uh, since we're all friends now, can I ask you a question? Why not? About women.
I had a feeling.
See, I'm living with these two women, and we were crawling all over the ground looking for this diamond, and the one I like, who claims doesn't like me, was checking me out, you know, from behind.
What kind of diamond? Oh, Ruthie got a promise ring from T Bone, and the diamond fell out.
Those two will never get married.
- I say go for it.
- You think? - Yeah.
-Wait, you're not asking about Ruthie.
You're asking about one of the women you live with.
Probably Jane? Yeah, she-she was clearly checking me out, but she denied it.
But when I saw this little look in her eye, like maybe she was attracted to me.
Okay, you can't date her.
You live with her.
But you can date Ruthie.
I I can't.
She and this T Bone guy are promised.
Uh, whatever that means.
Generally, it means someone's about to break up over the issue of sex.
Wait, when did Ruthie get a promise ring? After she got the tattoo.
What kind of tattoo? T Bone's name right here.
Big name, big letters, big tattoo.
Well, as long as you don't have a problem looking at another man's name on your girlfriend's butt, I say go for it.
She and T Bone aren't going to get married.
By the way, uh, just because Jane looked at your butt doesn't mean she likes you.
Women just do that.
Since we have to wait for the next movie, do you mind if we go by the Camdens'? I want to see what's going on.
Uh, it's-it's a bad day over there.
Believe me.
Ruthie's devastated over the loss of this diamond which, by the way, was barely visible when it was on the ring.
And some kind of big, black bird put some bad mojo on the reverend, and it's just bringing down the house.
Are you sure about that look from Jane? Are you sure that it's not some sign of something going on? Yeah.
Why don't we hang out until the next movie? Sure.
I don't need any bad mojo from a big, black bird.
Oh, boy, look at the time.
Yeah, you know, as much as I've enjoyed visiting with you, Red, I, uh, have some work I need to do down at the church, so Ever tell you how I got my name? Yes, you did.
Oh.
It's a it's an interesting story.
Sorry.
It's just that I don't get visitors here very often.
Except for the kids who bring around the food.
But they don't want to hear any war stories.
I enjoy a good war story as much as the next guy.
My dad was a marine, you know.
Yeah, you told me.
Several times.
You wait here.
I got something for you.
Oh, no, you really don't need to - You know, I - That's okay.
Red, I don't, uh, need any kind of Don't worry about it.
Here.
You take this.
I want you to have it.
But, Red, I-I What? Weren't you listening? I got shot.
Uh, I got a Purple Heart.
Oh.
I I can't take this, Red.
You earned this.
You earned it.
You must have listened to that story 1,000 times.
I just kept repeating it 'cause I I don't think you understand it.
It's okay to be afraid to die.
It doesn't mean you don't believe in God.
It doesn't mean anything.
It just means you want to live.
How'd you know I was having doubts about my health? You've been living with that diagnosis of yours for quite a while.
It's like fighting a war.
You're going to lose some battles.
You're going to have some bad days.
Doesn't mean you're going to die.
You take that Purple Heart to to remind you of that.
Maybe I don't have to be anywhere.
Sit down.
Tell me what's going on.
All right, let's tape off an area and divide it into squares, and then go over each square with a magnifying glass so no area is overlooked.
You guys want to find this diamond or not? Or not.
No.
Just forget it.
We can't do this any longer.
It's gone.
And she's just going to have to deal with it.
The diamond is lost.
And it's just a diamond teeny, tiny diamond that can be replaced.
All right, everyone is dismissed except for you, Theodore.
What? Mac has the car.
We don't have anywhere to go.
We'll wait outside.
All right, shoot.
Oh, and I I do mean that literally.
Just, uh, shoot me.
Depends on what you have to say.
I I appreciate the call I do but I'm going to have to think about it and, uh, get back to you.
Would it be okay if I called you, uh, tomorrow after church? Like around 2:00? Oh, thank you.
Uh, and thank you so much for calling.
Okay, uh, bye.
Um hey, um did you guys see anything out here, you know, when you came out? Like a big, black bird bearing bad tidings of doom? Kevin told you.
Yeah.
And your dad saw the same bird this morning.
Oh, no.
Yeah, your mom and your dad got into a big fight about it.
He thinks it's bringing him some sort of bad news.
My dad got the same feeling from that bird that I did.
Which, if we both got the same feeling, then Then you both must be nuts.
Or not.
Well, I guess it does sound sort of ridiculous.
But I've never seen that bird around here before.
Wait, I I guess if it sounds ridiculous, then then maybe it is ridiculous.
Um, where's my dad? He hasn't been home all day.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
All right.
Wait for me here.
How come she can find a guy, but I can't? You just got a divorce.
Oh.
Right.
Maybe that should be a sign to stay away from guys for a while.
Well, if the big, black bird shows up, then I'll ask him.
Ask the bus driver.
From the look on Kevin's face, he's turning that diamond into some kind of lesson.
Let's go.
I'm willing to take the bus.
I'd be dishonest if I said I didn't want - Oh.
Hey.
- Hi.
Uh Do you think Ruthie is making this diamond important because she's clinging to any sign from you that she really means something to you? - Hi.
- It's possible.
I know she can't do anything about the tattoo she got, but I imagine it makes her feel like things are out of balance, like she loves you more than you love her.
Well, that's why I got her the ring.
Maybe she needs more than a ring.
I can't get another tattoo.
I just can't.
Uh, I got the call.
Did the big, black bird tell you to come over here and tell your parents? - My dad's not home.
- Bird tell you that? No.
Jane and Margaret told me that.
Oh.
Well, your mom's upstairs if you want to talk to her.
I mean, unless you're waiting for some big sign to fall out of the sky.
Sorry.
I knew you would be.
I'm not talking about your getting a bigger tattoo.
What are you talking about, then? A sign that you really love Ruthie.
If you do really love her.
I really love her.
So, you thought it was some kind of bad omen, too? Yeah.
You know, I think we're all looking for signs, whether anyone wants to admit it or not.
Oh, don't even bring it up that's how your father and I got off to a bad start this morning.
I thought it would be nice if there was some indication of what we're all hoping is true is true.
You know? And that's all I said.
The next thing I know, this crow is announcing his impending doom, and it's all my fault.
Mom, it's not your fault.
You know it's not your fault.
Living with a diagnosis like Dad has is tough on all of us.
You know, but I think we've done really well in supporting him and each other.
But we're bound to have, you know, some days where something goes wrong or we do or say something that we wish we hadn't done.
And truthfully, I I don't think you and Dad would be arguing if you really thought he was going to die.
Oh, Lucy, thank you.
Oh, thank you for saying that.
Because I don't think he's going to die.
But I have been acting as if he's sick.
Ah, he's my husband.
He's the father of our seven children and I love him.
But he does make me crazy sometimes, good heart or bad heart.
I know Kevin drives me crazy sometimes, too.
Well, and and I drive him crazy.
Yeah.
Uh, you know, there's there's something I want to talk to you about.
Something good? I don't know.
It it's kind of like the crow it depends on how you look at it.
Or how it looks at you.
You know, Red, you could've mentioned to me that you had a pet.
I appreciate your spending the day with me.
I'm feeling a lot better.
Good.
Good.
Glad I can do something for someone.
Yeah, I wouldn't feel right about taking that Purple Heart, though.
You you earned it.
Oh, I wasn't really going to give it to you anyway.
Unless, of course, you needed it.
And you don't need it.
May I? I want you to know that the search for that diamond is not over.
I'm not going to stop looking for it until we find it.
Maybe we're just not meant to find it.
Maybe it was just not meant to happen.
Like us.
I had a feeling you might be thinking like that.
Oh, did you? I know you were downstairs talking to Kevin.
Yes, Kevin and I were talking, and, you know, Kevin actually knows a lot about relationships.
Does he? Does he know a lot about our relationship? He just knows stuff, okay? About men and women in general.
Look, Ruthie I gave you that ring because I felt badly about your getting a tattoo that was so much bigger than the one I got.
So you didn't really promise to promise to marry me one day? What I want what I really want is Is sex.
Well, I won't say I don't, but what I want is for you to know that I love you.
And I mean that with all my heart.
You're the first girl well, woman that I've ever loved, and I want us to be together for the rest of our lives, and I'm going to do everything I can to make that happen.
Including including not pressuring you to have sex.
So if you thought that that ring had some special meaning, like I was promising that we wouldn't have sex until we got married, well, that promise is good with or without the ring, with or without the diamond in the ring.
- I love you.
- I love you.
We didn't hear anything we covered our ears.
But I think T Bone should leave before we have to cover our eyes.
I'm out of here.
Is this it? Yeah.
That is it.
I thought you'd be happier about it.
Well, I think I got the sign that I was looking for.
Thanks, Sam.
And David.
Sam found it.
Maybe it's a sign that he's supposed to make the toast, after all.
Oh, I don't know, Lucy.
I-I I can't imagine not having you and Kevin and Savannah around here every day.
- So they called? - You know? Yeah, I know.
Why didn't you tell me? Well, I was going to tell you.
I just I hadn't found the right time.
Well, wouldn't the right time have been this morning when the boys were making toast? I guess.
So maybe I'm not even the one who got you in a bad mood.
Maybe it was No one got me in a bad mood but me.
Dad, I-I won't even consider it if If I'm going to leave? Look, I'm-I'm really sorry about today.
I've been having a few doubts and, uh And you didn't want to say so, because you didn't want me to have any doubts.
She saw the big, black, scary bird, too, and she thought the same thing you did.
Well, it could be a a coincidence that we're both insane.
Or it could be in the genes, or could be that you're all picking up on some fear I wasn't expressing.
Or it could be that Red forgot to feed his crow this morning, and, yeah, the crow wandered around the neighborhood looking for food.
The bird was injured, and Red's been feeding him all winter until this morning.
So we weren't entirely wrong.
That wasn't a happy look on that bird.
Look, Luce let's-let's base what we do on what we feel inside and what what we know in our hearts, not-not on anything we think might be a sign.
And, you know, it's not a bad thing to let your head have some say in what your heart's feeling, too.
You decide what you're going to do.
You go and take a look at that church.
You and Kevin, you make up your minds together.
Either way, I'm going to be fine.
We're all going to be fine.
And I mean that like I've never meant it before.
Mmm I love you.
I love you, too.
So, was there ever a time if you weren't sure if you loved me or not? In the beginning, when we first met? - Even then, I knew.
- Me, too.
Think you could get the boys to make some toast tomorrow morning? That was a that was a pretty good movie.
You think so? I feel kind of depressed about how single mothers were treated back then.
Yeah, but that was then, and this is now.
Isn't it great how things have changed for the better? Things have changed for the better.
Is that jeweler still open? I don't think so.
Why? I want to get you one of those promise rings.
And why is that? I want us to promise each other something.
And what is that? That we give this a chance.
A real chance.
I don't want to get hurt.
I don't want to find myself falling madly, deeply in love with you only to find out that you really want things to work out with Aaron's father.
What's that look? You actually think it's possible for you to fall deeply and madly in love with me? I think it's more than a possibility.
I just want to take it slow.
But at the same time, I don't want to take it so slow that you doubt I'm really crazy about you.
Hey, look, a shooting star.
- You see it? - No.
Yeah, neither did I.
Too bad life's not like the movies.
I was hoping for the stars to cooperate and give you this big sign that I'm really serious about you.
Right now, in this moment, my life is better than any movie.
So you don't want a promise ring?
