7th Heaven, Season 6

Annie:
Do you have a problem with my punishing the children without your approval?

Eric:
While I don't want the garage apartment for my own, I can understand why they're upset about your giving it to Mary. We don't even know if she needs it.

Annie:
So? They don't know if she doesn't. Maybe she and Wilson need it.

Eric:
I got the feeling from Wilson that they broke up and he's just letting Mary tell us, and I gotta know why that is. Because it suggests the why, it won't be something we like.

Annie:
What do you feel her problems are?

Eric:
I feel her problems are that she's irresponsible, self-centered, and inconsiderate of other family members.

Annie:
I think she wants to be responsible, and that's something. I think it's good for her to be self-centered right now. It's good for her to focus on herself and come to love herself, because that's the first step in loving others. And I don't think she's inconsiderate of other family members. On the contrary, I think other family members, including you, are inconsiderate of her and her needs at this time.

Eric:
So we can agree to disagree about Mary and who she is and what her future holds, but I think that Matt and Lucy and Simon and Ruthie are in agreement.

Annie:
With you, and you are wrong, just like you were wrong about Nixon.

Eric:
(to the twins) He should have apologized.
