7th Heaven s07e20 Episode Script

This is all your fault.
I should've put a stop to my mom dating this guy before they decided to get married.
They're not gonna get married.
My father won't let it happen.
I have a feeling Dick isn't gonna let Reverend Camden or anyone else get in the way.
Your son Matt got engaged on the first date, didn't he? Uh, yeah.
I knew my first wife for years before we got married.
That was a mistake, heh.
This isn't a mistake.
How does Peter feel about you getting married? Hmm.
Well, Peter's opinion's very important to me, but what kid Peter's age wouldn't resent a man coming into his mother's life? It's to be expected.
But I'm confident that I can win him over.
I'm working on it and I'm gonna make it work.
Because I'm not just marrying Paris, I'm marrying Paris and Peter.
Just curious, how do you decide who you're going to marry and who I'm going to marry? Family.
You know, I know the families.
And you should set up counselling sessions because, uh, a lot of those dates are coming up fast.
Well, who should inform them that, uh, you've passed the services off to me rather than performing yourself? You should.
Okay.
Of course, uh, I could do all the weddings as well as the counselling sessions if you change your mind about going home to make peace with your father before he passes away.
Hello.
- What's wrong? You look funny.
- Nothing's wrong.
Then why do you look so happy? We look happy because it's coming up to our 20th anniversary.
We've decided to renew our wedding vows.
And who do you think would be the best guy to do that for us? The man who married you Oh, we don't even know where he is.
We were thinking maybe Simon's dad could do it.
- Would you ask him? - Sure.
Yeah, I could ask my dad, but Well, don't, heh Don't you wanna ask him? Well, the last time we spoke wasn't all that pleasant.
I don't think this is a good idea.
Why don't you guys take a second honeymoon or something? Why doesn't this sound like a good idea? Maybe we should talk about this when we get home.
- Okay.
- We've already talked about it.
We really wanna do this.
You know, my parents renewed their vows on their 20th anniversary.
Well, your parents aren't my parents.
- Hello.
- What are you doing? Uh, nothing.
In a couple of minutes, I'm gonna be busy disappointing a young couple who asked Eric to marry them.
Why are they going to be disappointed? Well, because he passed the wedding off to me instead.
Maybe they were just being polite when they asked for Reverend Camden.
Maybe they'd rather have you marry them, and they just didn't wanna go around him.
- Uh, I doubt it.
- I don't.
Is this just another example of your budding psychic ability or are you just trying to make me feel good? After they come in, you can answer that yourself.
Call me back and let me know.
I'll call you back and let you know.
- Hello.
- Hi, I'm Cathy and this is Mark.
Hi.
Are we early? - Nope.
Where's Reverend Camden? Well, his workload's really overwhelming right now.
He's just so busy since coming back to work, you know, catching up with everyone.
Well, I told him that I'd be happy to talk with you if that's okay with you.
You would be doing the counselling sessions with us? Would you then also be marrying us? Uh, well, you know what, if you want me to, I would be honoured to make you two the first couple that I marry at this church.
Yes.
- I can't believe our luck.
- Yeah.
We had wanted to ask you, but we didn't wanna offend Reverend Camden.
This is so perfect.
Uh, I'm flattered that you want me, but, uh, why do you want me? Well, the last time we did this Reverend Camden got us into this huge fight, then Mark's mother got involved and we just called the whole thing off.
Have you resolved your differences since then? Nope, heh.
That's why we're here.
To resolve our differences.
We wanna get married.
- Here's the milk I picked up.
Oh, thanks.
Would you like a glass to go with that doughnut? What doughnut? The powered-sugar doughnut you have all over your face.
Just because you're back at work doesn't mean you can eat whatever.
I know.
It's just that I had a stressful day and I haven't had a doughnut since I can't remember when.
I slipped.
It won't happen again.
Please tell me that part of your stressful day was that you told Peter's mom and that guy you're not marrying them.
Please tell me that part of your stressful day was that you told Peter's mom and that guy you're not marrying them.
- Please tell me - They had their first session, and like all counselling sessions, it's entirely confidential.
Peter doesn't like Dick.
Did they tell you that? Yes, they did.
I can't discuss this with you, Ruthie.
I'm sorry.
And I can't discuss it with you either.
Go wash your face.
Dinner's almost ready.
Studying.
I'm studying.
- When is Kevin gonna be home? - I don't know.
Why? No reason.
- Wait.
Why do you need Kevin? - It's private business.
- I need him to do me a favour.
- What kind of favour? A brother-in-law kind of favour or a police kind of favour? A police kind of favour.
I'd tell you what it is, but you're too busy studying.
Your mother is never gonna live with us.
She hates me.
She doesn't hate you.
She hates everyone, but you, of course.
Okay, that's not true.
Name one person your mother likes.
Well, I believe we've already mentioned me, heh.
Let me interrupt right there.
All right.
Uh, we've gotten a little off track here.
Uh, we're getting tired and unreasonable.
- You mean him? No, if we're gonna continue, I'd like to get off the subject of Mark's mother and get back to you two.
Now, when the first wedding fell through, did you two break up with each other for any period of time? A month.
And during that month, what'd you do? - She got engaged.
- To this guy.
I was on the rebound.
Then Mark decided that he wanted to work things out, so I got rid of the other guy.
And how many men have you been engaged to? Seven.
And have you ever been engaged to another woman or women? - Nope.
And you know why.
Because no woman is gonna marry a man with a mother like his.
I don't think she's that bad.
Not yet.
Drop me off at Chandler's.
I have a feeling he's having a bad night.
If he's having a bad night, maybe you should give him some time to himself.
He likes being with me, especially when things aren't so great at the church.
He's not gonna like being with you if you're just gonna push him - to go home and see his father.
- Why do you think I'm gonna do that? Because I know you had a call from Sid.
And I know Reverend Camden got a call from Sid.
And so I know Sid wants his brother to come home and he's enlisting your help to get him home.
But Chandler knows what the situation is, if he wants to go home, he'll go home.
- He should go home.
- And so should you.
I'm not gonna be responsible for dropping you off at Chandler's and contributing to his breaking things off with you.
You underestimate my power as a woman.
Believe me, I don't.
But you underestimate how volatile Chandler is in this situation.
Okay, not that it's any of your business, but I was going to volunteer to go see Chandler's dad with him.
I don't think you should suggest doing that right now.
- Hey.
How's the homework coming? - It's coming just fine.
- Ugh, you want some help? - No, I don't need some help.
I was just asking.
But you can drop the attitude.
And if I don't? And if you don't? Let me handle this.
This is between me and Peter.
Stay.
This isn't between just me and him.
It's between all of us.
I don't want you to get married.
You don't even know him.
We don't know him.
But I want you to get to know me.
- Why? So you can be my new dad? - I don't wanna be your new dad.
I know you have a dad.
I just wanna be your friend.
You don't fool me.
You know all the right things to say, but it doesn't matter.
Because we both know something isn't right here.
- I'm sorry.
I'm talking to - No, no, no.
I don't wanna upset him more than he's already upset.
This is hard for him.
He's used to being the man of the house and I'm stepping on his territory.
I understand completely.
Let him cool down and I'll try again tomorrow.
And if that doesn't work, I'll try the next day and the next.
Because now that I've found you, I'm never gonna lose you, Paris Petrowski.
Hmm.
I wanna know why you wouldn't want your parents to renew their vows? What difference does it make? They're already married.
Right.
They're already married.
So they don't need to renew their vows.
So can we change the subject? I'll call you back.
Bye.
Sorry to interrupt.
I just wanted to talk to you before I went to bed.
I have a lot of homework to get finished.
Then you shouldn't be on the phone with Simon.
If you have time to talk to Simon, surely you have time to talk to me.
All right.
I'm sorry I reacted the way I did.
I don't know why you want Reverend Camden to marry you again, but if that's what you want, it's okay with me.
Really.
It's fine.
I was just surprised.
Why were you surprised? It's just that I wasn't included when you were making the plans.
That's all.
Oh, honey.
Sorry.
- That's all that's bothering you? - Mom I'm sorry.
I didn't know you were waiting for me.
I grabbed a burger and played some pool.
- I saw a couple guys from the church.
- That's okay.
I could tell when I called the third time that you weren't having a good day.
You probably needed to get out, have some fun.
You've got lots of stressful things going on in your life.
My life is just fine as long as you're in it.
- What's on your mind? - Oh, nothing.
You do a lot of things well.
Coy is not one of them.
Okay.
I'll get straight to the point.
You still wanna marry me, right? You're right.
- And your dad is still very sick, right? - Right.
So I was thinking when you go home to see him, I could meet him.
I've got a vacation coming up next week.
Sid, my brother, called you, right? I'll let you know when I'm going home, all right? And I don't think I wanna take you with me if I do go home.
But, uh, I don't feel like arguing about it right now.
Let's just drop it, okay? No, it's not okay.
How many people need to tell you that you should go see your dad before something happens? Chandler, I can't imagine my dad being in that condition and not spending every minute with him.
Well, he's not your dad.
No, but he's going to be my father-in-law and I wanna meet him before he dies.
And I want you to make up with him before he dies.
- I'm doing the best I can.
- So is he.
Tsk, now that you've gotten your way and we're arguing about this, I'm getting angry.
And before I say something that I shouldn't, I'm gonna say good night.
Good night.
I love being married to you.
And I love being married to you.
- Good night.
- Good night.
Could you run a check on someone to find out if they've ever been arrested before? - No.
- Yes, you can.
Why? Ruthie wants you to check out a guy.
Juvenile records are sealed, so that won't be so easy.
He's not a juvenile.
It's the guy Peter's mom's marrying.
If Peter's mom has a reason to run a check on the guy then she shouldn't be getting married.
It's not Paris who wants the information, it's Peter.
- What does Peter suspect? - He just doesn't like him.
He suspects something's wrong, but he doesn't know what and Ruthie thinks he's knows more than he's saying.
What does your dad think? He thinks that his sessions with Peter's mom and Dick are private.
- So I didn't mention it.
- Maybe you should.
Hmm, couldn't you find if there's anything wrong before Ruthie and I say anything? Maybe Peter should just talk to your dad.
He probably will be brought into the sessions, but still.
Could you? Please.
Hey, good morning.
Good morning.
- Is it? - I think so.
- Me too.
- Well, I don't.
Boys, why don't you go make up your beds? - With new sheets? - Or dirty sheets? The dirty sheets.
I mean, wait, they're not dirty.
We just put them on yesterday.
- Is this about Peter? - I just get this terrible feeling in my stomach whenever I talk to Peter.
I feel afraid for him.
Did you see your father? Did you tell him that? No, but I told him Peter doesn't want Dick marrying his mother.
I just feel like Dad's not listening even though he says he is.
- What do you want your father to say? - I want him to say he's not gonna perform a wedding ceremony for Paris and Dick.
That's not gonna stop them from getting married if they wanna get married.
Then maybe Kevin can have the guy arrested and then put him in jail.
- Maybe that would stop him.
- He can't do that just because Peter doesn't like him.
Maybe there's a better reason, I don't know.
But someone should find out, do something.
It's okay, Ruthie.
Everything will be fine.
Why does everyone keep saying that? You don't know it's gonna be fine.
Ruthie, just trust your dad.
Trust him.
He's very good at what he does.
He was good at what he does.
He was.
But this is now.
You want some pancakes? Is it a holiday or are you just trying to get me to like your fiancé? Ugh, the second.
- Why aren't you at work? - I took the day off.
Why? Because I wanted to.
I, uh I have some things I wanted to do today for myself.
Like shop for a wedding dress? Please, give him a chance.
He's a nice man, Peter.
There aren't a lot of nice men around.
The second.
There aren't a lot of nice men around.
And I don't know what makes you think this is a nice man.
He wants to be with us.
He wants to take care of us.
We can take care of us.
Maple syrup or blueberry? I'm sorry.
I didn't know we were having a special breakfast.
I told Ruthie I was gonna walk to school early.
We wanna get to library to use the computer.
I have a computer, hooked up to the Internet.
Maybe you and Ruthie could use it after we have breakfast.
- You want a doughnut? - You stopped for doughnuts? No, but we could go get some if you want.
Should you be eating doughnuts? Aren't you supposed to be on some special diet? Yeah, but I'm craving doughnuts.
I get the feeling this dilemma's leading to something.
It's not.
Not really.
I know I can't have doughnuts.
I have to stay away from doughnuts.
I have to stay on a low-fat diet.
We all have to do things we don't wanna do.
And yours is not eating doughnuts.
And mine is going home to see my dad.
- Did I say that? - Heh, I know my brother called you.
He also called Roxanne.
And he called me.
But I can't go home, especially now.
I have to marry Cathy and Mark.
Oh, so you did meet with them.
Uh, how did that go? Well, ugh, they didn't object to my performing the service.
Yeah, I knew they wouldn't.
Yeah.
Nice of you to send them my way.
With this being my first wedding at the church and all.
But, uh, perhaps there's a lesson hidden in this whole Cathy and Mark saga? Perhaps.
Hmm, yeah.
Well, maybe I don't need a lesson.
Hmm.
Maybe I've already learned my lesson.
And maybe I know something that you and Roxanne and Sid don't know.
Because maybe, just maybe I called my dad and told him that I wanted to come see him.
And maybe he told me not to bother.
Did you have to give me the most difficult couple in the church to do marriage counselling with? They're not the most difficult.
They're the easy ones.
- Hello.
- Oh, is this Dick? Yes.
This is Eric Camden.
I was calling for Paris.
I wanted to see if she and Peter would meet with me today.
Maybe if I could speak to the two of them alone, I could get to the bottom of what's really bothering Peter.
Reverend? Uh, I'd love for the three of us to come in together.
Paris and I were talking about it last night.
We'd like to learn how to communicate as a family.
Maybe you could help us out.
What do you say? Simon, there's something about my parents that no one knows.
And I don't want anyone to know.
Whatever it is, you can tell me.
You know that, right? What? Ugh, and now your father's gonna find out and your mother and your entire family.
And once it's out, it's out.
This is just so embarrassing.
- Do they know that you know? - No, they don't know.
- Well, how'd you find out? - Uncle Walter told me.
Uncle Walter? You're calling him uncle even though he's not your uncle and he stole money from your family? Okay, Walter told me.
- Why did Walter tell you? - He didn't know that I didn't know.
Why didn't you ask your parents when you heard about this? Because obviously they don't want me to know.
You do know and you should tell them that you know.
I'm not gonna tell them that I know.
- Well, this certainly explains a lot.
- Yeah.
- I'm sorry.
- Me too.
I brought you something.
I used to eat those.
Your brother didn't tell me that you'd called your father.
Well, Sid doesn't know.
I haven't told anyone.
I'm sorry I forced you to tell me.
But now that you have, do you think your father meant it when he said you shouldn't come home? You know, I've, uh, thought about it and, uh Yeah, I think he did.
But, you know, I've learned a little something from living with Mrs.
Bink.
I know you knew it would be good for me as well as for her.
Go on.
Just realised that, uh My father is undergoing treatment too knowing that they're not gonna be able to save his life, but maybe they can just possibly extend it a little.
Treatment isn't easy for someone who's surrounded by people that love and support them, much less being surrounded by people that you haven't been nice to.
So I think maybe he's just not up to facing one more person.
Maybe he's not up to facing me.
Maybe he's just not ready to contemplate his life and death.
Um, maybe he's never going to be.
Maybe.
But maybe not.
Go on.
Maybe your dad's not ready to have a confrontation, but maybe he needs to know that there doesn't need to be a confrontation.
There doesn't need to be a big dramatic scene.
So, what? Then I'm supposed to just show up, we'll start talking about the weather like nothing happened? You could do that.
And then if time allows and if you can find your way, maybe then you can have a more meaningful conversation that would give both of you some peace.
Yeah.
Or I can do my father a favour and just stay away like he asked.
Maybe that would give him peace.
Well, what would it give you? Guess what, you guys.
- We're going to Vegas.
- Vegas? What, to gamble, to see a show? To get married, heh.
Could I talk to you out in the hallway? I figured we'd avoid the possibility of having the wedding called off a second time and just leave my mother out of it.
- I couldn't be happier, heh.
- My mother will get over it.
- Hey, maybe she won't even care.
- I care.
Not that it matters.
- Oh, okay.
Um, then we won't do it.
- Yes, we will.
I thought I'd ask maybe next time we got together if you thought I could meet Mark's mother.
I don't recommend it.
Well, on the other hand, maybe it's a good idea.
I mean, maybe if we could get her onboard, then you could have the wedding that you always wanted to have.
I want you to have that.
Vegas is fine with me.
Just let him have a shot at the old bag, huh? I thought we agreed that Vegas would just be much easier.
We'll still have that option.
I'll ask my mom to drop by your office if you're gonna be in.
I'll be in.
But, uh, please just call me if she's not coming.
I will.
Uh, you're meeting with Mark's mom? Did you eat that? I, uh I have a session with Peter and his mom and Dick at the house so Yeah, I'll be around, uh Mark's mother.
Enjoy.
I thought you said everything went great last night.
Well, it didn't.
He's apologising, okay? I didn't do anything.
If I did, I'd be apologising.
Sometimes people apologise when they want an apology.
And sometimes they don't.
Accept his apology and then apologise yourself.
- I'm not doing either.
- Because? Because maybe if he thinks I'm still angry with him, he'll go see his father.
I believe that's called emotional blackmail.
I don't need your opinion.
I'll call Lucy, my friend Lucy.
Go ahead.
I'm happy you're friends.
Kinkirk.
I'll be right there.
- Where we going? - We're not going anywhere.
I'm going.
Fresh fruit.
Yes.
Yes, Mrs.
Bink.
I know how to pick a melon.
Yes, I'm sure.
You thump it and if it sounds hollow, then it means it's ripe.
Oh, come in.
I'll be just a minute.
Uh, anything besides melon? You need to eat more than melon.
I'll cook something for you.
Uh, no, I have no plans.
All right, I'll see you later.
You're married? Oh, no, I'm, uh, living with Mrs.
Bink.
At her guesthouse.
It's a long story, heh.
Hi, uh, Chandler Hampton.
- Um, I've seen you in church, right? - Right.
Mrs.
Iglitz.
Better known as Mark's mother, the witch.
I'm, um I'm very happy that you wanted to see me.
I understand that, uh, Cathy and Mark's wedding got called off last time they made plans? It was my fault.
I know, I know he has to make his own decisions, especially when it comes to who to marry, but I took the risk, stepped forward and I told Reverend Camden what I still believe.
There are some people who should not be married to each other, and Cathy and Mark are two of them.
He's afraid of her.
And I think really that's why he wants you to talk to me because I am not afraid of her and I'm not afraid to tell you what I know.
And what do you know? She's a grifter.
A grifter? Mm-hm, con artist.
- In Glenoak? - Oh, she knows it's Glenoak.
She's been engaged seven times, seven different cities.
Yeah.
She had mentioned that she had been engaged before.
Mm-hm, did she also mention that she extorted money from all of her fiancés? - Did she tell you that? - No.
She didn't need to tell me that.
I'm a mother.
I'm a woman.
- Intuition? - I hired a private investigator.
And when I confronted Cathy, she had some very entertaining explanations.
Really, you should ask her.
I'm sure she'll tell you.
Mark seems like a pretty smart guy.
And he did go back with her.
Well, I think he finds her very wild and exciting.
He just can't seem to stay away from her, even though I know he knows he should.
Does Reverend Camden know about her past? Yes, I assume that's why he passed on getting involved again.
Look, let them down easy, otherwise word will get around and other couples might not want you to marry them.
Of course, uh, on second thought, if you're living with Gladys Bink, you're probably not afraid of what people think, huh? Good for you.
I know that Peter's having a hard time, but if we could just get him to see the possibilities, you know, it could be so nice for all of us.
I've always wanted to have the opportunity to be involved with Little League.
I like to fish, go camping.
I just don't think you're even giving Dick a chance.
I'm just not comfortable around him.
Is there anything he could do to make you more comfortable? Yeah, he could leave.
Or he could give you a little more time.
Would that work? Maybe it's not a matter of time.
Maybe this just isn't gonna work.
But I want it to work and you want it to work.
Could I talk to your mother and Dick alone? Be my guest.
Do you see what I'm up against here? Yeah.
No offence, but this just isn't working.
I think maybe we need a child psychiatrist.
Somebody who specialises in child therapy.
Unless, of course, that would offend you, and then well I'm willing to go along at this pace if that's what it takes to get you to marry us, because Paris wants you to marry us, heh.
And I do too.
Well, look, it doesn't offend me at all.
And I know how much you love to jump right in and take action, Dick, and it's a good thing.
You have initiative.
So I'm gonna set you up with the best child psychiatrist I know.
Dr.
Gibson? Hey, it's Eric Camden.
Well, I, uh I have a bit of an emergency.
Could you see a young man and his mother and prospective stepfather? Tonight? I'd really appreciate it.
How's 7:30? It's great.
Okay, yeah.
Bye.
Thanks.
- Great.
Let me break the news about this to Peter alone, since we don't want him to resent you any more than he already does.
- And I can walk him home.
- That's okay.
We'll wait outside.
So you told Simon you knew before you told us you knew? - I don't think that's the issue here.
- Neither do I.
- Don't gang up on me.
- I didn't say anything.
It was all in the look.
I saw the look.
- Who told you we never got married? Uncle Walter.
Walter.
Whatever we're calling him these days.
He didn't intentionally do it.
He thought I knew.
Well, I, for one, am glad it's finally out in the open.
Me too.
Because now that it is, I have a couple of questions.
- I don't think I should be here for this.
- Neither do I.
But he's here and he already knows our little secret.
So, what do we care if he stays? We still want his dad to marry us.
Why didn't you ever get married? I mean, didn't you think when you had me that maybe you should get married? We were going to.
We planned to, but you came early and We are married.
We've been living together for 20 years.
So why now? Why are you getting married now? We want to.
The subject came up when you and Simon started getting so close.
And we felt guilty about lying to you and everyone else all these years.
And maybe a little ashamed.
Not ashamed, but Uh, what he said.
We want to.
I am madly in love with your father.
And I'm madly in love with your mother.
Well, I'd be happy to have my dad marry you.
Really, I can ask him.
- Do you have a licence? - We have a licence.
Cecilia? Please tell me that's not what I sent you with an apology.
There were supposed to be many more flowers involved.
No, the flowers you sent me were beautiful, and so was the card.
I wanted to give you this and apologise in person.
I apologise for pushing you to go home.
That's really sweet of you.
Um, I don't wanna get carried away and cross any lines.
I thought that's exactly what you've been wanting for months.
Well, I decided I wanna wait until we get married.
Oh, God, I knew I shouldn't have become friends with Lucy.
What? Well, after hearing about her honeymoon, I decided it's best to wait.
I'm serious.
Well, good, because I gotta go back down to the church anyway.
- Well, can I wait here? - Sure.
There's some spaghetti in the fridge if you want it.
All right, I'll be back.
And we can discuss this whole matter of waiting more seriously.
You know what, maybe you should talk to Mrs.
Bink.
Get to be friends with her.
Get a second opinion on sex and marriage.
- Hello? - You are my best friend forever.
Roxanne? After I told him I wanted to wait, I feel like he can hardly wait.
- So it worked? - Like a charm.
- But you're going to wait? - I'm gonna try.
Who knows? Maybe I'll be good at waiting.
I'm just so used to pursuing that I guess I've never really given myself the chance to be pursued.
- I think you're gonna like it.
- Me too.
I'll see you, Luce.
What worked? - Whose gonna like what? - Oh, it's nothing.
- Wasn't that Roxanne? Yes, but it was a private, personal call.
Maybe she'll write it down in her diary and then we can read about it.
I'm sorry, it's a journal.
What makes you think I'm still keeping a journal? You may be married, but you're still Lucy.
- Where's Kevin? - I don't know.
- Where's Peter? - I don't know.
Where's Dad? I'm right here.
- What's going on? - I can't really say.
You don't have to.
Please, every woman keeps the ring if the wedding gets called off, sells it and buys herself something nice.
I know you're new at this, but really, that's the reality of the failed engagement.
Actually Marshall from Hartwell didn't give me a ring, he gave me his house.
But I couldn't keep a farm, could I? What do I know about pigs? And Bob from Galveston gave me his boat, so, what? What was I gonna do with a boat? Take the pigs fishing? And that piece of junk that Mike from San Jose put on my finger, please.
What did I get, I learned the hard way.
Sometimes silver looks just like platinum.
She calls that grifting? Fine, I'm a grifter.
So sue me.
You still wanna go to Vegas, Mark? No.
Sorry.
I just wanna be part of what Paris and Peter already have.
- I wanna be a family.
- Yeah.
- They are a good family, aren't they? - Yes, they are.
Okay, we just have a couple of minutes left, Peter, and I know you've been patiently waiting for me to get around to you, and you're probably wondering why I haven't.
I've just been letting Dick talk because the more he talked, the more certain I became of something.
Peter, has Dick ever threatened you? Yes.
He told me in church last Sunday that if I messed things up between him and my mom, that he'd get rid of my dog and then he'd get rid of me.
Peter, heh, we're all being truthful here.
Come on.
I don't doubt Peter's being truthful.
I don't doubt it at all.
Because, Dick, you're the classic abuser.
You just met Paris and already you wanna marry her.
You want her to spend less time at work, more time at home, maybe even quit her job.
You know just what to say to gain control.
You already made Paris lose her confidence in her parenting skills and I imagine pretty soon you'd have her feeling so badly about herself that she'd let you make all decisions.
Even the ones regarding her son.
And if you could just get the two of them separated, it'll all just become so easy.
The emotional abuse and then the physical abuse.
Certainly it would help for you to get rid of the dog.
You are an abuser, aren't you, Dick? We're ready.
Wait Wait a minute.
Uh, wait Wait a minute.
I don't know what kind of crazy scheme this is, but whatever it is, you better have proof of what you just accused me of, Dr.
Gibson, if you are a doctor.
Heh, I'm a doctor, all right.
And Kevin here has the proof.
And not of my having a Ph.
D.
and an MD, but of your being an abuser.
After ending a violent marriage to you, your ex-wife filed a restraining order against you.
And you're on probation for violating that restraining order right now, aren't you? Don't go near Miss Petrowski or Peter ever again.
Don't call, don't write.
If you even look over the back fence, I'll come after you.
However, you're welcome in my office any time, day or night.
If you feel you're on the verge of losing your temper, I can help you or I can get someone to help you.
Like you helped me tonight? This was about helping Paris and Peter.
How? - How did this happen? How did? Oh, it happens.
These guys know the game, you don't even know you're in one.
I'll tell you this, your son is a good judge of character, as are a lot of children.
Pay attention the next time he doesn't like someone or he feels scared.
Thanks, Dr.
Gibson.
Reverend Camden, Kevin.
I know this has come as quite a shock, so let's all hang out here a while longer and give everyone a chance to talk.
Bob Gibson.
Oh, sure.
Eric.
Yeah.
You're sure you two don't wanna use the church sanctuary? Yeah, we're fine.
We've been living in This will be fine.
We don't want the roof to fall all the way in.
Well Okay.
We are gathered together today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony.
If there is anyone here who objects
