Original subtitles

I'm not committed and lost.

What would you want to do if you didn't want to be a minister?

I'd like to sing on Broadway.

I'd like to hear that.

I promise if I ever get the opportunity, I'll give you a front row ticket and a

backstage pass.

I hate to interrupt, but could I use the phone? I've got a date for Valentine's

Day and I'm getting a little worried that I'm not going to be able to get a

restaurant reservation if I wait until you're off the phone.

I'll call you right back.

A date?

You have a date?

Yeah, but I'm not really comfortable talking about this with you.

Oh, okay.

Just give me a hint. I promise I won't tell.

No, you'll tell.

Tell what?

Robbie has a date for Valentine's Day.

A date with who?

Whom? I don't have time for a grammar lesson. I just want the info.

Guys, you're starting to creep me out.

What's going on?

Robbie has a date for Valentine's. But he won't tell us who it is.

I don't want to talk about it, okay?

Mission accepted.

Oh, Robbie, old boy.

Wait up.

I wonder who Robbie could be going out with. Whoever it is, it's not Mary.

But this is a good thing, right? I think it was a good thing until we all

started liking Robbie. Now I'm not so sure.

So what are we going to do?

I don't think there's anything we can do.

There's plenty we can do. We're Camdens.

Then let's do it. Amen, sister.

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 home.

That's the one place that you'll find.

Seven heavens.

7th Heaven.

7th Heaven.

I was looking for you.

Oh, you were?

What's up?

I heard you have a date for Valentine's.

Yeah, but it's no big deal.

I just don't want to be alone on Valentine's.

Yeah, I don't want to be alone for Valentine's either.

Don't look now, but I think we have something in common.

Totally understand how you feel.

I just don't think Mary and I are ever going to be more than friends, so I just

want to get out of my life.

Yeah, I don't think Heather and I are gonna be any more than friends either.

Hey, I just got a great idea.

Maybe you could fix me up.

You know, so you and I can move on with our lives together.

You want me to fix you up?

Sure, I mean, your date must have a cute friend.

Come on, your date must have a friend who would go out with me, and then we

could double date.

I'm gonna be nervous enough on this date. Yes, but you'd be less nervous if

were there, right, buddy?

We're buddies, aren't we, buddy?

Hmm?

You know, tomorrow's Valentine's Day, and I was thinking, since you're in town

and I'm in town, maybe we could double?

That sounds like fun.

I could pick you up around 7.

Okay, but remember, I'm staying at my aunt's house.

Great.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Mom's been waiting hours to make a call.

I wasn't aware you had a social life.

You're so pathetic.

Hello?

How'd you like to come to a birthday party on Valentine's?

Who is this?

Duh, the love of your life.

Ruthie Camden?

Are you gonna come?

Well, sure, sure.

It's the twins' birthday, right? Yeah, but that'll be over by dark. Then it's

Valentine's for the rest of the night.

I'll be there.

I'll pick you up.

You can't drive.

Duh, but we've got one of my sister's ex -boyfriends living with us, and he can

drive. I'll have him pick you up and drop you off.

Have it around 7.

Okay.

Sounds good to me.

I think the best thing to do is just to let go and let God take care of it.

I don't think God has time to worry about who Mary's ex -boyfriend is going

with. You know, what with all the famine, disease, and war going on.

So if you're not going to do anything, I'll just take care of it.

Robbie's not going to want to come to the twins' birthday party with his date?

Why do you bother? You know it's not for us.

Could be.

Hang up!

I can understand that you want to be a good sister and find out who's dating

Robbie. And I would love... to make you happy by agreeing to double with Robbie

and his date. But it's our first date.

And I want it to be special.

It's our first Valentine.

I just want it to be us.

I'm glad you didn't say yes.

I wanted it to be just us two.

Then it was my pleasure saying no.

Remember, I'm taking you someplace that requires a coat and tie.

Not for you, of course.

So what you're taking me is a surprise?

Yes.

You like surprises, right?

I love surprises.

I think you'll really be surprised.

I can't wait.

Bye. Bye.

Hello?

Oh, hi, Mary.

Uh, yeah, I think he's here. Um, hold on.

Do you know where Robbie is?

Yeah, he's hiding in the car in the garage until everyone goes to bed.

at which point he plans to come in and call whoever it is he's going out with

and get me a date for tomorrow night so we can double.

Who's doubling?

I'm doubling with Robbie.

No, you're not. I'm doubling with Robbie.

I'm going out with Dina for old time's sake, and I'm counting on Robbie to

us. You're both wrong.

Robbie's picking up my date.

You don't have a date.

Yes, I do. Bert wants to come to the twins' birthday party. Really?

Bert wants to come? I swear Bert is coming.

Don't swear, but I think Bert coming is very nice.

Well, nice or not, that doesn't mean that Robbie's going to pick Bert up.

Robbie'll do it.

He owes me for the use of my room.

And that way, Robbie and his date will have to stay at the house.

Oh, that's a good point.

Okay, none of this is working for me. All this discussion and fighting is

pointless. Robbie already agreed to get me a date, which means Robbie and I are

doubling. Who is it? Robbie's date. Who is it? Who? I don't know. He doesn't

want to talk about her.

Have you ever considered that maybe Robbie doesn't even have a date?

Whatever the plan is, the first order of business is Sam and David's birthday

party.

Why doesn't anyone ever want to come to Sam and David's birthday party?

It's not that we don't love them. It's just that it's a baby party.

They don't even know it's their birthday.

We love being there at the party. They're lying.

So, did you call your date to get me a date? Yeah, I'll ask her if she knows

someone. You know, you could bring your date over to the house for Sam and

David's party.

Thanks, but I think I'll just pick her up afterwards.

But I am looking forward to Sam and David's party.

I made them each a present.

Who could Robbie be going out with?

I guess I'll find out on Valentine's.

Is someone on that phone?

I forgot.

Mary?

Robbie is going out with someone?

I hate all of my clothes. All of them. Every last thing

I own is hideous.

What about Mary's clothes?

She didn't take all of them with her.

No.

Wearing Mary's clothes just wouldn't feel special. I really want to feel

tonight. Do you have to have special clothes to feel special?

I just put on a clean pair of underwear and I feel great.

You know, you're right. I am making much, much, much too big a deal out of

I'm wearing on my date tonight.

What's this?

It's a dress that I saw in a window today that I just couldn't get off my

So I came home and I went over the budget and I talked to Dad and voila.

Perfect. So are you.

And me?

You're beyond perfection.

Thanks. Now my underwear awaits me.

I hope you have a great time tonight, Luz.

Thanks.

I really like Jeremy.

I like him like I haven't liked any other guy that I've ever gone out with.

I know.

That's the new dress.

You're the best.

I'm really sorry. My date didn't have a friend for you to go out with.

What you realize if you don't give me a date, Simon will want you to double with

him and Dina. I kind of thought since you're free now, you could drive Simon

Dina. Yeah, I could, but that still leaves Ruthie and Bert.

Again, I thought since you don't have a date, you could pick up Bert and then

pick up Dina.

You can't give me a date.

I tried.

Sorry.

Not staying home alone on Valentine's.

What are you doing tonight?

Hello, Matt.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, hello. What are you doing tonight?

Well, it's Valentine's Day, so I'll be spending the night with my valentine, my

beloved, my fiancée, Priscilla.

So, do you want some company?

On Valentine's Day?

Matt can come by tonight, yeah.

It's Valentine's Day, and you want to spend it with Matt?

Valentine's Day is just a lame holiday invented by the card companies. Who

it? She's right. You know she's right.

Shut up. I'm sorry, but I like true romance, not fake romance.

bought -next -door romance.

What's so special about celebrating your love at the same time millions of other

people are doing it, too? Are you breaking up with me?

No! I'm madly in love and happily engaged to you, but I just don't like

pressure of Valentine's Day. What pressure? This! This is pressure!

Come on over.

Thanks. But you can't stay long, because even if my lovely bride doesn't like

Valentine's, I do, and I don't want to spend it with you.

Sure, no problem.

Hey, I hear it's old home week.

You're going out with Dina.

Oh, yeah.

From the look on your face, you don't seem too excited about it. It's not

It's just that since Matt doesn't have a date now, he's going to be driving us

instead of Robbie.

Well, Matt's a good driver.

That's not the point. The point is I wanted to go with Robbie.

We have to respect Robbie's privacy. It's not like he's a member of the

whose privacy can be invaded for no good reason.

Hi. Hi.

Hi.

Just ask him.

Hasn't somebody already tried that? We've all tried. Now it's your turn. I'm

taking your turn.

You can't just let him go out there and get involved with someone knowing how

much Mary cares for him. I'd love to stay and chat, but I have to dress the

twins. They have a party to go to.

So who's Mary dating?

I don't know.

Come on, let's get these guys into their birthday suits.

Wouldn't it be funny if they really did wear their birthday suits?

If they went to the birthday party naked?

Uh, it probably wouldn't be that funny. Okay, if you had found that funny, it

probably wouldn't be coming back to this. But is Mary dating someone?

Don't you have a date to get ready for?

I'll take that as a yes.

Interesting.

Let's go!

Hey, I never said yes.

Did I say yes?

Hello?

Oh, Mary, hi.

Oh, sure, hold on.

Um, it's Mary for Robbie.

Well, I'll tell him.

Wow, you're looking good.

Ruthie. What?

I speak the truth.

Where are you going?

Someplace I've never heard of. My date made the reservation.

You're going someplace you've never heard of? What if you can't afford it?

No, I called. It's not that bad if you don't order wine or anything, and I'm

ordering wine.

They serve wine?

You're dating a drinker? No, I'm not dating a drinker.

But it's not easy to start dating again, and you guys aren't helping. Maybe this

will help.

Mary's dating someone.

I'm going downstairs to see if there's anything I can do to help your mom with

the party.

How do you know Mary's dating someone?

Connect the dots.

Dad doesn't care. Robbie has a date.

Why wouldn't Dad care? Robbie has a date.

Because Mary has a date.

Hello?

Hello? I'm still here, and I want to know who Robbie's going out with. Put

on the phone.

Who's Mary dating?

Okay, who's Mary dating?

Mary dating someone? The colonel thinks that Mary might be interested in one of

the guys who volunteers at the homeless shelter, but he just thinks that. He

doesn't know for sure.

And you didn't share this with me because... I didn't really have anything

share.

What are they wearing?

Clean clothes.

They would have looked better in their birthday suits.

Go get your dates. Let's get this party over with.

You want me just to call Mary and ask her who she's going out with?

No. I want you to go downstairs and I want you to ask Robbie who he's going

with. Okay. And I want you to find out if Mary said anything to him about going

out with someone.

Okay. And ask Robbie if he's going out with this woman just because Mary's

out.

First, I'd rather not say.

Second, Mary told me she's interested in this guy, but she hasn't gone out with

him. And third, yes.

That's why I don't feel like being alone on Valentine's Day.

Where's Bert? Bert's sick.

Bert is sick? Who cares? I only asked him over so I could find out who Robbie

was going out with.

Let's go.

You both remember Dina.

And this is her date, Peter.

It's nice to meet you.

Simon, where's your date?

I thought we were double dating.

Oh, my date fell through, but you're both still welcome to come over.

I'm so sorry.

I misunderstood.

And I think Peter and I would feel awkward if you don't have a date.

We'll just stay here.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Who cares?

I only asked her out so I could find out who Robbie was going out with.

Face it, we're losers.

No, we're not. We're not losers.

We're losers.

Okay, okay, it's over.

Go forth and have your Valentine's Day fun.

Come on.

It

was

a nice party, and I won't be home late.

Good night.

Can you guys get that?

How do I look?

See? She's not a loser.

Losers.

For me?

That's for you.

The roses are for your mom.

And the candy, for your dad.

It's very sweet.

Lucy, you look so beautiful.

We better get going, but we won't be late.

My cell phone number, just in case you need it.

I've never had someone give me candy so they could take out my daughter.

I like it. Oh, what's wrong with me? I just can't get Robbie out of my mind.

Who do you think he's going out with?

Oh.

Yeah, that would be my guess, too.

Well, if it is who we think it is, Mary is going to be very upset.

Don't you think?

I don't think I know.

Would you like me to order?

Yeah. I want a bowl of

soup.

A bowl of soup sounds very filling.

I'm joking.

I think I could eat it.

Are you ready?

Yes and no.

Considering we're teenagers on a limited budget, what would you recommend?

Besides another restaurant.

I'd recommend two tits and splitting an entree. Say, the chicken marsala.

That way you could get out for under... Is that okay with you?

Thanks. We'll take your suggestion.

Oh, wait.

My dad's philosophy is order cheap and tip big.

That way you...

My dad was a waiter.

What does he do now?

He's a musician.

He plays a club for a man.

He gives music lessons.

Your table's ready.

Friends of yours?

Lucy! Hey, Lucy.

Oh, Jimmy Moon.

Rod. Just Rod.

Guys, this is Jeremy.

My date.

I was kind of busy that night.

Isn't she a great girl?

I was Lucy's boyfriend.

So was I.

It is so good to see both of you.

Jeremy and I are on our first date.

We're being unbalanced.

So romantic, dude.

How's it going?

It was going just fine.

We better get back to work.

That's a good idea.

But if there's anything we can do for you, you know, clear the table or get

water or clean napkins, anything at all, just let us know.

Congratulations. You really rolled in the prize here.

This is the best.

Thanks.

I think so, too.

I am so sorry. Hey, I wouldn't let anyone spoil this evening for us.

I should give you your Valentine's gift now before Matt gets here. You shouldn't

give me a Valentine's gift at all.

What?

There's something I have to tell you.

And after I tell you, if you still want to give me a Valentine's gift, then you

can.

But... Aren't you going to get that?

Hold on.

There's something you have to tell me.

I'm sorry, Matt. Come on in.

Oh, what's going on?

I'm not sure.

So, how was the twins' birthday party?

Same as last year.

I brought you some cake.

Thank you.

I'm not hungry.

Not hungry for homemade cake?

Matt, would you like a glass of milk?

You have milk? Of course we have milk. I would love a glass of milk. Thank you.

So, what kind of cake is this?

It's chocolate with vanilla frosting. My favorite.

Priscilla, I thought it was something you wanted to tell me. It can wait. We

have company now.

That was the nicest dinner I've ever had.

This is the best Valentine's Day ever.

Hey, the night isn't over.

Thanks for understanding about Rod and Chippy.

Not a problem.

Who's that?

No one told me, but it must be ex -boyfriend night.

What? That's Jordan.

We dated.

Actually, first he dated Mary, and then I dated him.

And then Mary dated him again, and then I broke up with him.

Jordan, this is Jeremy.

Is this your boyfriend?

We're on our first date.

Valentine's Day, first date. Nice touch.

Thanks. Hope it works out for you.

This is the best.

She deserves the best.

Well, I should get going.

You look great.

Call me if it doesn't work out.

Are you ready to take me home yet?

Not even close.

Did I say I'm sorry? Because I am so very sorry.

You have nothing to be sorry about.

You ready for a surprise?

Wasn't the beautiful restaurant the surprise?

No. That was just an opener.

Let's keep walking.

Matt, it's getting kind of late, buddy. Maybe you ought to get going.

It's nine o 'clock.

Yeah, it's not late.

Well, it is late considering you have something you want to tell me, honey.

You want me to step into the bathroom so you guys can talk?

No, no, that's okay. I'll step outside.

Take a walk.

No, no, that's not right. I'll go for a walk.

Or maybe I'll go for a walk home.

Nope. You guys seem to be having a good time.

I'll just take a walk around the block.

Clear my head.

Okay, what's going on with you two?

What's going on is I've been living with a big secret, and today's a bad day for

this particular secret.

Do you want to tell me what it is?

I don't want to tell anyone, but I have to tell John.

I'll go get him. Don't. I'm still working up the courage, and as soon as I

it, then you can go home.

Maybe we can get Mom to drive us around so we can spy on Robbie.

We don't know where he is.

Well, we can ride around until we find him.

So, Bert's sick?

Bert wasn't sick. It was a lame excuse.

Why would Bert make up an excuse not to see you?

Well, I ask why. Who cares?

And Dina?

It was a miscommunication.

Am I the only one here who can deal with rejection?

Hello? Hi, Dad, it's me.

Mary, how are you?

Where's Robbie?

He's not here.

When is he coming home?

You know, I'm not sure. He didn't say.

How's your life going? Anything new going on?

Dad. Yeah?

Just tell Robbie to call me.

Okay, I'll tell him.

Bye.

Mary wants Robbie to call her as soon as he gets in.

When do you think that'll be?

You know Robbie?

Could be the 12th of never.

Maybe you weren't coming.

Still not sure if I should be here.

Not sure if I should be here either.

I've missed you.

Missed you too.

Have you really missed me or are you just lonely?

Can we start with something easier?

Like how you've been?

I've been okay.

Want to grab some dinner?

We missed our reservation.

No. I've been calling the restaurant every 15 minutes.

I'm not that hungry.

What do you want to do?

Shouldn't we go in?

I'm afraid if we go in, we'll... It's a little presumptuous, isn't it?

This isn't right.

We can't go back to where we were.

No kidding we can't. Not after you decided not to marry me.

Not after you kicked me out and left me homeless.

Sorry.

This is all my fault.

When it comes to relationships, I am such a screw -up. I cheated on Mary with

you. I cheated on you with Mary.

And now, why would either of you ever trust me again?

So that's it. If either of us ever trust you again, it would be me, right?

Because you would never ask Mary to trust you, but, well, I owe it to you

because I made you homeless.

I almost tricked you into marrying me, right? Is that it?

No, that isn't it.

Then what is it?

Comfortable with you.

I can be who I am with you.

What about Mary?

You're not comfortable with Mary because you have to be a better person to be

with Mary?

Be a better person, Robbie.

Be the person you want to be. Be the person I know you can be.

I love you for who you are, but I can see that you're changing.

And if loving Mary Camden keeps you changing for the better, then love her,

me.

Because I want someone who feels about me the way you feel about Mary.

So I understand. I really do.

I don't want comfortable.

I want thrilled.

I deserve thrilled.

And I'm going to get thrilled.

Not this Valentine's Day.

Oh.

Here's the name and number of a friend from Matt.

I put a lot of thought into it, so don't waste the number.

I won't.

Thanks for dumping me again.

Anytime.

Happy Valentine's Day, Ron.

Same to you.

Oh, look at the time, huh?

Good, Ron?

Well... Thanks for nothing, but it was fun.

I don't know what you don't want to tell me, Pris, but whatever it is, just tell

me. Because I love you, and nothing you tell me is ever going to change that.

I should have told you this before.

Just tell me now.

Well, it has a lot to do with why my parents don't want me to marry you.

Just tell me.

Can you turn around?

I don't want to see your face when I tell you.

I've been married before.

I'm still listening.

My high school boyfriend and I got married the summer we graduated because

thought it was the only way to guarantee our relationship would last when we

went to separate colleges.

I'm still listening.

Well, it didn't work out, and our parents made us get the marriage

And what has that got to do with us?

Well, it's Valentine's, and I can't let you tell me how much you love me on

Valentine's Day when I'm living with this big lie.

I should have told you before we got serious. Do you hate me?

My mom was married for a year. Her first year in college to her college

boyfriend who was drafted and sent to Vietnam.

They got married on Valentine's Day. Every year her ex calls her and every

my dad gets jealous.

You never thought to tell me your mother was married to someone before your

father? No, I mean, it's kind of ironic, even funny, isn't it, that the same

thing would happen to me marrying a woman who was already married? I don't

anything funny or ironic about you keeping this from me.

I didn't think I was keeping anything from you.

Are you saying you don't care?

Why would I care? Why wouldn't you care?

Why are we talking about you and my mother here?

That's pretty scary if you don't know if you're talking about your mother or

your girlfriend.

I didn't say that.

Yes, you did. Wait.

Are we having our first night? Yes.

Hey, I'm looking for Matt.

You really and truly don't care that I was married before?

No. I have only one thing to say to you.

That I've never loved a man more than I love you at this moment, John Hamilton.

I told you we were losers.

There's a horse sticking its head in our kitchen window, isn't there?

I know you like presents, so happy Valentine's Day, Ruthie.

The horse has to be back by midnight.

It's my uncle's. You know, he owns some stables.

My mom followed me in the car. I walked him over from my house. You know, I

would have been here sooner, but the horse is low.

That's so cool. Can we ride it around the block?

Sure.

There's a horse in your backyard.

I know. My parents' plans changed, and I have to catch a plane back in the

morning. And I didn't want to leave without saying goodbye.

Can we still be friends?

I miss being friends with you.

I miss you.

Let's go out back and talk.

Do you know that Ruthie and some kid in a suit are riding a horse down the

street? Yeah, I know.

So who'd you go out with?

Who do you think I went out with?

Cheryl.

Really, that's who it was.

It's not going to work out for us, but I felt like I should give it a try.

No, why didn't it work out?

Because I'm hopelessly in love with your sister.

Good.

No, not good. Mary's interested in someone else.

Nah, she'll be back. And when she gets back, don't tell her that you went out

with Cheryl or that you're not interested in Cheryl. Because I know how

romance stuff works. Trust me.

By the way, Cheryl has a friend she thought you might be interested in.

Oh, I thought you'd know how this romance stuff works. You don't call her

now. You're going to look desperate.

I am desperate.

Leave a message.

Hi, this is Matt Candon. I'm a friend of Cheryl's.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Look, you're probably out right now. Hello.

Hey, you're home.

Cool.

I don't feel like a surprise.

No, you're going to like this surprise. It's a combo surprise for you and for

the twins.

I'm so scared.

No peeking.

Twins? You can take off your blindfold.

Oh, thank you.

Hi, baby.

Happy Valentine's Day.

I know the boys' birthday is a bust every year and the kids aren't really

it and it kind of makes you sad, so this year I thought I'd do something special

for them and for you.

Do you remember when Ruthie was born and your parents stayed here and took care

of the kids?

Well, your dad shot...

Some home movies of your mom and the kids. And he sent them to me.

And I had them transferred to video.

So now you and the boys can enjoy them every Valentine's Day.

For the rest of your life.

Boys didn't have the honor or the pleasure of knowing how great your mom

So now you can show them.

And they can get to know her, too, just like the other kids.

I think they should know who Grandma is, don't you?

Really, she started it all. If she hadn't had you, we wouldn't have all

wonderful kids.

I'm off to meet Cheryl's friend.

Hello?

It's me.

Don't say anything.

Just listen.

I went out with Cheryl tonight because I was upset you might be interested in

someone else.

But I don't love Cheryl.

I love you.

I'm going to commit my life to being a man worthy of being loved by you.

Happy Valentine's Day.

I can't walk another step.

You don't have to.

What's going on?

This is my surprise.

My dad's rehearsing here and he said you can use the stage.

To do what?

To sing.

No way. But you promised me. Tickets and a backstage pass.

Just wanted to say goodnight.

Goodnight.

By the way, my date with Cheryl didn't work out, and I called Mary.

I just wanted you guys to know.

I want to be honest with you.

It's good. Honesty is good.

Did you get to talk to Mary?

And?

Sometimes the best things in life are worth waiting for and worth working for.

If you play it again, I want to see it again.

Okay,

okay, okay. Come on. Come on over here.

Now, I'm going to teach you Grandpa's favorite song. You ready?

Are you ready, Grandpa?

When I fall in love.

When I fall in love.

It will be forever.

It will be forever.

When

I fall

in love.

It will be forever.

Or I'll never fall in

love.

Let the world like this is.

Love is ended before it's begun.

One too many moonlight kisses

seem to melt in the warmth of

the sun.

When I give my heart

Will be completely Or

I'll never give

My heart

The

moment I can feel

She's the one.
