Hi, Evan Camden. Hey, Robbie.

Just hanging out, studying.

Studying? Outdoors?

Yeah, I've been in the library a lot lately, and I just decided to study out

here. It's kind of cold, isn't it?

Not that cold.

What's in the duffel bag?

Oh, just my laundry.

I did my laundry earlier.

Still warm from being in the dryer.

Probably I'm not cold.

How's Cheryl?

We split up.

It wasn't right for me to live with her if we weren't going to get married.

Do you have a place to live?

Of course.

I might not have a place with laundry, but yeah, I do have a place to live.

You sure you're okay?

Well...

Thanks, Rath.

Talk to Mary.

No.

But thanks for asking.

Seven heavens, when I see their happy faces smiling back at

me.

Seven heavens, 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...

7th Heaven 7th Heaven

7th Heaven

How's your cup of sugar?

I don't really like coffee. It's just warm.

Things haven't been going too well for me lately.

Yeah, I noticed.

What happened?

Once Cheryl knew I wasn't going to marry her, she kicked me out.

Why couldn't you just go to your mom's?

Mom lost the house.

Yeah, and moved to Florida.

Couldn't you go to Florida?

I got schooled in the middle of the semester.

How do you stay in school when you don't even have a place to sleep?

It's frustrating.

But school is very important to me.

You still have a car?

It got towed, and I don't have the money to get it out.

What about staying at a shelter? Just for right now, I could help you get into

shelter. I already tried, but it's almost Christmas, and there's no room.

Besides, there are people out there a lot worse off than I am. And if I get my

education, I'll have the resources to make my life better.

You and Mary sure don't see eye to eye about school.

Why do you think I broke up with her? I thought she broke up with you.

Well, she did, but... You didn't know we were seeing each other over the summer.

You two were dating each other over the summer?

I'm sorry I'm so late.

Um, no problem.

I have a surprise for you.

I have a surprise for you, too.

Surprise.

Oh,

excuse me, Mrs. Camden. I am so sorry. I had no idea.

Robbie, go downstairs and wait in the kitchen while I speak to my husband.

yourself to anything in the fridge.

Thank you.

I was only bringing Robbie home to spend the night. Now he's going to want to

live here.

Is there some occasion that I... It's Friday night.

Ah, Friday, yes.

TGIF.

Shut up. No, first tell me why you brought Robbie home with you and why

spending the night. And then shut up. He's homeless.

Homeless? I met up with him tonight down on the promenade. He was sitting on a

duffel bag filled with what little he owns.

You know, I always pictured your family in robes.

Really big, flannel, furry robes. I always pictured you in your own house,

in our kitchen at 10 o 'clock at night. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to frighten

you. If you're looking for Mary, she's still in New York. I'm not looking for

Mary, but how's she doing anyway?

Who knows?

I think she's still a little angry.

Angry at?

Everyone.

Yeah.

Do my parents know you're here?

Oh, yeah, your dad brought me home.

I'm currently without a home.

I'm just gonna clean up, get some sleep, then I'm out of here.

Good night.

There's nowhere else he can go.

Nowhere.

Robbie, you staying here?

Did you go downstairs, like... I was hot. Mom had to heat up for Sam and

At least I thought it was for Sam and David.

I'll just go now.

Your hair is so girly.

You know, girly, but sexy.

Get off the phone.

Get out of my room.

We have to talk. I am talking. Who are you talking to?

None of your business.

Where was I?

Are you just going to ignore me?

Yes.

Lucy.

She has no idea.

I don't care.

Do you actually sleep outside?

Like camping?

Yeah, kind of.

What do you sleep in?

Jeans and a jacket.

Matt has some clean laundry here. Want a pair of pajamas?

I don't think Matt would like it if he came home and found me sleeping in his

pajamas. You can't just walk around in your underwear.

House rules.

Just so you know.

Thanks for the tip.

I'll wear my clothes to bed.

Oh, nice.

Warm, clean, soft flannel jammies.

Straight from the laundry.

They might even still be warm.

You know you want them. Come on.

Ruby?

You're supposed to be in bed.

Well, someone has to entertain the company.

Good night.

Uh, good news, Annie says you can stay.

You sure?

Sure, I'm sure.

She didn't look too happy. No, it's fine.

She's excited.

That I'm homeless?

No, that you're staying here at the house for the night. She's just excited

help out a friend.

I'll make up the couch for you.

Thanks.

There's not a bathroom down here, is there? Second floor.

Right, but I just wanted to clean up.

By the way, we have a rule about walking around the house.

You know, naked, we have rules about nakedness.

I heard. Now, granted, Lucy came very close to not following the rules

I didn't see anything honest.

Well, let's just keep it that way. No problem.

Matt, a moment of your time, please.

I don't believe you.

I've lived through Heather. No Heather. Shauna. No Shauna. Heather again.

No Heather. And about a million other women you've brought home since we've

lived together, and you can't give me one night?

It's not just one night. You two have been with each other every single night

this week.

What is it with you and this woman? Does she have you under some spell?

Not this woman.

Priscilla. And it's called love.

True love.

She's the one, man.

She's the woman of my dreams. She's my destiny.

And you know what you want to do when you find your destiny?

You want to be with her every minute you can. And when you're not with her, you

want to think about her until you can be with her again.

I'm sorry, but do barf bags come with this speech?

You need to take a walk.

I'm wearing my pajamas.

Thanks for understanding.

You're a pal.

Fine. You want me to go? I'll go.

I want you to go.

It doesn't make any difference to me either.

It's like I know you so well.

Like we really know so much about each other already.

Yeah, it is weird.

Isn't it great?

I'm very sorry for coming by so late, but I have to talk to Lucy.

Do you have her phone, son?

Yeah. But I have to tell Lucy something faith to faith. I would have come by

earlier, but I couldn't get away.

Oh, uh, Robbie.

Mike, Mike.

Robbie, I'll go get Lucy.

I'm Lucy's boyfriend.

Um, Mary's ex -boyfriend.

You're the guy who tried to take Mary to the motel.

And then cheated on her with some ex -girlfriend who you almost had to marry

because you thought she was pregnant.

I'm just staying here the night.

Now that's what I pictured.

What's going on?

I'll explain later.

I think we'll have to wait to make up the cash, but that'll give us time to

talk.

What more do we have to talk about?

I'm sure we can find something.

How about a sandwich?

Sure. What can I make you?

What do we have?

Did you come over to show me how well you pace?

No.

I came over to tell you that I got early acceptance.

Yes! I am so happy for you. What great news!

It's just a relief to know I have a college to go to next year.

You know, you'll probably get your acceptance letter in the mail tomorrow.

And if not tomorrow, then the next day.

You will. Have faith. It'll happen.

Thanks.

I'm sorry. This isn't right.

This is your big moment, and I'm very happy for you. I know you are.

That's why I wanted to tell you first.

Why did you wait until now?

Well, I... You were on a date?

Look, we're not exclusive, so why shouldn't you be on a date?

Then again, this early college acceptance thing was something we did do

together. And if it were me, I'd come over before my date.

But hey, everyone's different, right?

This is, um, good.

I mixed the ketchup with a little mayo.

Sort of a Russian dressing.

You're either late for dinner or considering you're in pajamas early for

breakfast. I'm not here to eat. I need the couch.

And a good pair of shoes.

What are you doing here?

The couch is taken.

Bye.

Him?

I can sleep on the floor. No one needs to sleep on the floor. We have two

couches.

Mike had a date.

I'll make up a couch now. Do you have a preference?

No, I think I'll go upstairs to Mary's bed.

Good night.

Good night.

Am I in the right house?

I'd explain, but for now, it's a long, personal...

Confidential story.

Why are you spending the night?

I'd explain, but for now, it's a long, personal, confidential story, too.

Hello?

Hey, Ruthie.

Ruthie, don't hang up.

It's Mary.

Yeah, I know.

Put mom on the phone now.

Whatever you say.

Hello? I'm sorry. I think I have the wrong number.

Hello?

I thought you were getting Mom.

And while I'm at it, I'll get Dad, too.

Hold on.

Yeah, it's her.

Does she know you're staying here?

I don't think so.

Interesting.

Was the phone for me?

Were you expecting a call?

Who was on the phone?

Mary. I answered and she hung up. She thought she had the wrong number.

And earlier this morning, when the phone rang over and over, a ring here, a ring

there, who was calling then?

Okay, I did it. I hung up on Mary.

And I'd do it again. I don't want to talk to her. I don't like her, and you

can't make me like her.

I should put something on.

Why don't you?

Mary? Oh, so good to hear your voice.

I know, I know. The naked rule. I found some phones in the hamper and...

Why don't I put something on? Yeah, why don't you?

I'm still working on a room for you at a shelter.

Until I find a place for you to go, why don't you hang around the house?

I don't think Matt would like that.

Matt went home.

Was that Mary on the phone?

So she finally called.

Yeah.

She's actually been calling all morning, but a certain someone, Ruthie, has been

hanging up on her.

Did Mary want to talk to me?

I think he's gonna need to stay for a couple of nights.

Come on. Robbie is really trying.

He has a 4 .0 average at school.

He's homeless, and he made the dean's list.

If I hadn't known him for the last year, I'd want to adopt him.

You should get the divorce first.

So, how long has Mary been calling?

How long has she been gone?

Don't answer a question with a question. And the next time Mary calls, you let

her speak with anyone she wants to speak with. If you can't do that, then don't

answer the phone.

So if she calls to speak with Robbie, I should let her?

Robbie won't be here very much longer.

You're right.

Hey, it's me.

I'll take the mail.

Don't college acceptance letters usually come in those big mailer envelopes?

You know, because they send all the information about the college and the

and stuff.

You want my professional opinion as a United States postal carrier?

Yes, usually.

You open it.

That's a federal offense, punishable by a fine and incarceration.

Why don't you want to open it?

I hate surprises. They're always bad.

That's not true.

There are plenty of good surprises.

Christmas, birthdays.

One Christmas, I got a shoeshine kit from my boyfriend that was meant for his

uncle's monkey.

Who are you talking to?

No one.

Same no one you've been talking to all day?

Yeah. Does no one have a name?

Yes.

Do you want to tell me?

No. Why?

Because I don't. It's not important.

But by not telling me who you've been on the phone with all day, aren't you

making it important?

No. Come on. Who is it?

A friend.

A lady friend?

A lady friend?

Yeah. I don't think I have to answer that.

I'm invoking my parental right to know who you've been on the phone with.

No. No?

You're invoking your parental right because you're curious, not concerned.

That's an illegal use of your parental right.

Come on, you know I'm not up to anything bad. You just want to know.

Admit it.

Okay, yes, I admit it. I just want to know who you've been talking to all day.

Sorry.

So you're not going to tell me?

Correct. Come on.

It's private.

I'll be back.

Okay.

What are you doing here?

I live here.

Priscilla's coming over for dinner.

I talked to your mom. She said you could eat over there tonight.

Okay. One, stop talking to my mother. And two, don't tell me to go away. I

want to eat with my family tonight. I want to eat here in my apartment, and

going to eat here in my apartment, and you can't stop me. You don't want to go

home because Robbie's moved into your house.

Robbie didn't move in, and he's not moving in. And if you don't stop talking

my mom, I'm going to start talking to your mom.

You're not going to like it.

You know what I hate about this place? When we have an argument, I have no

to go but the bathroom. And now I'm going back to the bathroom because I'd

rather be in the bathroom than out here.

I found a shelter for you.

I am not familiar with this particular facility, but the director sounds okay,

and they have an empty bed.

Thank you.

I'll keep looking, but for now it's free and it's better than sleeping on the

streets. Great, great. Anything will be fine. I'm not picky.

Well, grab your duffel bag. I'll give you a ride over.

Hey, I can't thank you enough for doing this.

That'll be fine.

I can handle it. Don't worry.

I don't know what you were expecting. I mean, maybe you've only seen the really

good shelters.

But I'm okay.

Like you said, it's better than the streets, really.

How long?

And where is he going to sleep?

Oh, and who's going to tell Mary?

Mary's not exactly speaking to me, but if you had seen that shelter... I know

what this is about.

You're being nice to Robbie so that Mary will forgive you for sending her away.

It's not that at all. When have I ever refused to help a friend?

You just quoted the Godfather.

Did I?

Yes, you did.

Look, if I were on the streets, if the situation were reversed, this is how I'd

want to be treated. Funny, I don't remember you waving the old Christian

attitude around when Robbie was trying to seduce your daughter.

It wasn't the right time.

Oh, is there a wrong time?

I just look at this situation as God giving me the opportunity to help

and simultaneously heal my relationship with my daughter.

And the shelter was lousy. And he's on the dean's list. And he's homeless.

Hey, it's me again.

No, I'm not doing anything.

Oh, you too?

Well, I was wondering... Oh, you were wondering something too?

No, you first. What were you wondering?

Wow, that was exactly what I was wondering.

So we thought the same thing at the same time.

That's kind of cosmic, isn't it?

So, are we really going to do this?

I need to start dinner. Will that disturb your studying?

Do you want some help?

No. Study.

Did you talk to Mrs. Camden? Yeah.

She's... Excited?

She's okay with your staying here.

You're back.

Yep, he's back.

Where are you off to?

I'm going to see Mike.

You two have a date?

No. I'm surprising him.

He got into college and I didn't sound so enthusiastic about it.

Mainly because he waited until after his date to tell me. But anyway, I thought

I'd go over and surprise him with an apology for the way I acted.

You sure you want to do that?

You sure you want to do that?

Why wouldn't I want to do that? You've never met his mother and you want to

show up at his house?

Never even met his mother and you just want to show up at his house?

Yes, I do. That's why I'm doing it.

I'll be home for dinner.

So is this Mike an okay guy?

He spent some time in a mental hospital, but he's doing really well now.

No wonder I don't look so bad.

You know, Robbie, it's not your fault you're out on the streets. Yeah, I know,

but it's not your fault either.

You didn't know Cheryl was going to kick me out.

So you don't have to do this.

Yes, Robbie is back, temporarily, until your father finds him a place to live.

I didn't like him when Mary dated him, but he's kind of growing on me.

Who's growing on you?

Robbie's back.

Oh, I didn't know he left.

But I don't care if he goes or stays, because now that I have only one bed, he

can't stay in my room.

He can stay in mine.

I don't think so.

Well, why don't you just put him in Mary's old bed in Lucy's room, the one

liked? Now, there's a fun idea, for a couple reasons.

New house rule. No unrelated co -ed roommates unless there's a marriage

certificate. Well, then put me in Mary's old bed and put Robbie in my room. I

don't mind.

Why don't you mind?

I want the attic. I've always wanted the attic.

And if I have to share it with Lucy, so be it.

Why are we being so nice to this guy anyway?

Because we're nice to everybody.

Amen.

So what's for dinner?

Smells great.

Remember, I don't like too much salt in the sauce.

Look, I'm hungry and I'm not going anywhere.

Hello? Who's this?

Robbie?

Uh, no, this isn't Robbie.

Yes, it is.

Why are you answering the phone at my house?

Because I was in the kitchen.

Oh, no.

You aren't.

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this. I thought someone else would.

You're dating my sister?

Excuse me?

My parents are letting you date Lucy?

Parents didn't want us to go out, but you can go out with Lucy?

Your dad just came in. Let me put him on the phone.

It's Mary. She thinks I answered the phone because I'm dating Lucy.

I think that that's better than I'm staying here.

Bye.

Mary, hi.

How are you? It's so good to hear from you. I miss you.

Sorry for just throwing up, but I felt badly for the way I acted yesterday.

I'm surprised to see you.

Is everything okay?

Look, if you come in, there's no going back.

What? Never mind. I'll come in.

That's my mom.

Mom?

This is my good friend Lucy.

Remember I told you about her?

And Lucy, this is my mom.

Nice to meet you, Mrs. Pierce.

We'll be right back.

Why didn't you tell me about your mother?

You're the first person I've let meet my mom since she got sick.

I'm sorry I had no idea.

I shouldn't have come.

No, I'm glad you did.

I don't like to hide my life.

My mom and I both had a real hard time dealing with my father's death, and we

both handled it differently.

I tried to commit suicide, and she just checked out.

How do you handle this and school and me?

The insurance pays for a nurse, and... Sometimes my neighbor comes over and

gives me a little time off.

I meant how do you handle this emotionally?

I know where my mom's coming from.

And I'm stronger than I look.

Don't worry.

I'm sure that someday soon, my mom's going to check back in.

Time heals all wounds, right?

I had no idea this was your life.

My life's just fine, and you know why?

I'm alive.

And I'm grateful for every second of every day.

No, it's okay, really.

I understand better than most people that sometimes if you just hang in

it all gets better.

You're the most amazing guy I've ever not kissed.

The agreement was when you get your acceptance.

I wish I didn't have to go back in, but I do.

Good night.

Good night.

This is good.

See, we're all getting along, eating dinner, having fun.

We usually start dinner with Grace.

Allow me.

Sorry. That's okay. Someone else can say grace.

No.

I want to say it.

Father, please know how grateful I am.

I was homeless.

Now I'm not.

I haven't had a bed to sleep in in weeks.

And now I do.

I've been hungry.

Now I have a wonderful home -cooked dinner.

I never really knew what a family was and how a family acted.

Now I do.

Thank you.

I'm the most grateful man to ever walk the earth.

So please, God, bless the Camdens for their kindness, generosity.

I knew it.

Knew what?

He's staying.

You sure you don't have anywhere else you could be, Matt?

Like the hallway?

Your car?

It's okay. He can stay.

See? It's okay. I'm fine right here.

This isn't how I wanted to do this, but...

What are you doing?

Yeah, what are you doing? Get up.

I love you.

And I can't live without you.

I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

And I want the rest of my life to start right now.

Be my wife.

Marry me and make me the happiest man in the world.

I'm going to dial and then you're going to ask for Lucy. It's really late.

Not there it isn't.

And use a deep voice. My mother will never let me sleep over here again. Why

can't you get your cousin George to do this?

Because George is a wimp. And he's not my cousin, he's my uncle.

How can he be your uncle? My grandparents adopted him, making him my

brother.

May I speak to Lucy?

This is Lucy. Who is this?

I'm going to get you.

Who is this? Don't play games with me, or else I'm going to fly all the way

there and kick your butt.

Mary? Yes, your sister. The one who used to date Robbie.

It really would have been nice if you had told me.

Well, I thought Dad would have told you, but you're not speaking to him. Why

should he tell me?

Because it was his idea.

What? He was the one who brought Robbie home.

This is too much.

First I get shipped off to Fort Camden, and then I find out that you're all

plotting against me with my former boyfriend, whom, by the way, none of you

liked until I left town.

Am I done here?

Get out.

I don't guess I could get a kiss.

Well, you woke me up.

I need a place to stay.

Well, try Ruthie's room. What happened to the bed in Lucy's room?

Ruthie's in that bed.

Because? Because Robbie's in Ruthie's room.

I'll sleep on the couch.

Suit yourself.

Or you could stay at your apartment.

Not tonight.

John asked Priscilla to marry him. She said yes.

That's great.

Yes, it is. Wow.

Great for whom?

John and Priscilla?

What, does everything have to be about John and Priscilla?

Don't I have a say in what happens? John is my roommate.

No, you don't have a say.

I'm going to call John in the morning and congratulate him. Yeah, why don't

do that? Call him and have a nice little chat.

Your brother is with him.

Okay,

you can touch anything that's not Hello Kitty.

The whole room is Hello Kitty.

Hello Kitty is very important to me.

Well, I promise to be very careful.

Why don't you want to talk to Mary?

Why doesn't Mary want to talk to me?

I'll get over it, eventually.

Want a color?

I want a color, too.

Cool.

Don't worry, I'm sleeping on the couch.

I tried to leave, you know. Yeah, it's not as easy as it looks.

Sorry, I put my jeans in the wash and... And you know the naked role.

I loaned them to him.

Did you see The Lion King?

Can you feel the love?

Come on, Doc Camden.

Give your new brother a hug.

Hey, what are you up to?

I'm going out for a while.

Oh, with that girl you've been on the phone with?

Yes. And not to change the subject, but we can't keep Robbie.

He wasn't good for Mary. He's not good for Lucy or Ruthie. I don't care how

he colors, cries, or sets the table.

Well, I'm afraid we're going to have to keep him for a while. Why?

You don't like him. Mom doesn't like him. Mary doesn't like him. Lucy doesn't

like him. I don't like him. Matt doesn't like him.

I get it. I get it. We don't like him.

It's agreed.

Yet he will be staying here until he can stay somewhere else. Wait.

What about Ruthie?

Ruthie's been weird ever since you shipped off to private school.

I'll get it.

Are you here for Matt?

Who's Matt?

She's here for me.

Dad's Sasha.

Sasha, Dad.

Good evening.

I won't be late.

Wait a minute.

Who's driving?

I am.

A BMW.

I've had my license for two years.

I've never had a ticket, and I'm insured.

I know it's late, but I'll bring him back. I promise.

We're just going to get some ice cream.

Come on, Dad. You've met her, you've interrogated her, you've seen her. Can

go?

You don't have to help me. I can finish.

I like to help. I don't really help as much as I should.

Oh, that's not true, but I'll take any help I can get.

So is Robbie going to stay?

Oh, I don't know for how long, but until we can find him another place to live,

yes. That's what I love about this family. We don't just take in the

we take in the formerly unlikable, untrustworthy homeless.

Well, I'm glad you feel that way, because until Robbie leaves, Ruthie's

be staying in your room.

Fine. It'll be fun to have a roommate again.

fort why oh you just get a look at some people's lives and suddenly yours

doesn't look so bad mike do

you want me to get them thank you that's okay

How was that?

Nothing, just some information on a college.

What

was

that for?

For being my dad.

Thanks.

Come on, I'll help you clean up here.
