All language subtitles for 7th Heaven s07e13 Its Not Always About You.eng

What do you have planned
for the day?

I was just thinking about it.

Maybe a little this,
and then a little that.

And before you know it,
I'll have my session with Dr. Gibson.

- How are those going?
- Fine.

- You think you're making progress?
- I just-- It's hard to say.

- You know, progress is so relative.
- What does that mean?

It means I appreciate your concern.

I know it comes out
of your love for me, but don't worry.

I-- I don't mean to pry,
I know your sessions are private.

But I just want to get an idea

as to when things might be returning
to normal around here.

You mean "normal"
like my going back to work?

[STAMMERS] Well, that's, uh,
certainly part of it, you know?

Guess I'm still not used to your
hanging around the house all day

like Ozzie Nelson.

[BOTH CHUCKLE
THEN ANNIE SIGHS]

Ah, relax. Everything's fine.

SIMON:
Running late.

I heard you talking on the phone
last night with Cecilia.

- How's that going?
- Fine.

"Fine"? "Fine" tells me nothing.
"Fine" is incredibly nondescript.

You're right, Mom. See you.

[LUCY SIGHS]

I have a lot to do today.

I was summoned for jury duty

and I have to go to the courthouse
to get excused,

which should be easy
because I'm a student.

Then I have a full day of classes,
and then I have dinner with Kevin

and I'm going to tell him how I am
going to make a really big effort

to bury any jealousy I have of Roxanne
and be friends with her.

- So you're not fine?
- No.

Did I ever tell you
how much I love you?

[SIGHS]

[BEEPING]

[BEEPING]

[BEEPS]

Excuse me?
Where is the jury-duty office?

Thank you.

Where do I go for jury duty?

Oh, thank you.

Excuse me, I was called for jury
duty, but I'm a student and--

Fill out this excuse form,
then place it in that basket

and your name will be called.

How long do you think
it's going to be?

Oh, a while.

But I'm a student. My next class starts
in about a half-hour and--

A student, huh? What's your major?

I'm gonna be a minister
like my father.

Oh, that's great. Congratulations.

Do you think you can give me
my student excuse

- and I'll be on my way?
- I can't do that.

But surely my case is a little special,
my being a student and all?

Special?

How many students are here?

Point taken.

Cecilia.

Hey. Things turned out great, huh?

Your dad no longer wants to kill me,
we can see each other again.

Yeah, my dad told me he gave you
permission to see me.

So smile. Be happy, I'm happy.

I find it hard to be happy

about my dad being involved
in every aspect of my life.

But in this case, it's a good thing.

Heh, boy, we were dumb,
weren't we?

I have to go.

If I'm late for Mr. Deborow's class,
he'll have a cow.

I understand.

So I'll see you at work later,
around 4?

- We're working here today, right?
- Right.

[SIGHS]

[BELL RINGS]

Are you and Lucy having sex?

- Should I repeat the question?
- No. Never.

Oh, come on, Kinkirk,
don't be such a prude.

I'm not a prude.

I just believe that what the woman
I love and I do together

or don't do together is private.

- You're a prude.
- Okay, I'm a prude.

Well, you're my partner, Kinkirk.
You've gotta help me out here.

I don't see how divulging details
about my private life will help you out.

[SIGHS]

This dating a minister
is a whole new thing for me.

I mean, I'm not sure
I can last through a relationship

with someone I care about
without being intimate.

And since Lucy is studying
to be a minister,

I thought I'd ask you and get it
straight from the horse's mouth.

Getting it from the horse's mouth

would be asking Chandler
how he feels about this, not me.

You think I wouldn't rather talk
to Chandler than talk to you?

He's a slippery guy.
He keeps evading the issue.

I mean, he's sexy and cute

and one hell of a kisser, but slippery.

Do I need to know this?

Look, I care for Chandler.
And I can see a future there.

I just need to make sure
I'm able to make it to that future.

Understand?

All I can say is people's feelings
about sex are private, individual,

even when it comes to ministers.

So I have to find out from Chandler?

Right.

Thanks, Kinkirk, you're a big help.

[SIGHS]

See, we built a great truck.

It goes fast, huh, guys?

- Not so fast.
- Not so great.

I'm leaving for my appointment
with Dr. Gibson.

- Fine.
- What's wrong?

Nothing. Everything is fine.

But?

No buts. I'm fine, you're fine,
everyone in this house is fine.

- I'm fine.
- Me too.

- I'm fine too.
- See?

I can't tell you what goes on
in therapy sessions.

You know that's privileged.

Privileged for the doctor,
not for the patient.

The patient can tell anyone,
even their spouse.

It's not that I wanna know much.
I don't.

But I would like to somehow
be included.

Know where our lives are going.

Hello.

- Hey, how was your day?
- Fine.

See? More fine.

This family couldn't be finer.

Uh, we'll talk about this
when I get back. Okay?

Fine.

Somehow I knew
that was gonna be the answer.

Why do I get the feeling
I missed all the good stuff?

Good stuff.

Real good stuff.

[CHUCKLES]

Come here.

Lucy Camden?

Are you calling me?

If your name is Lucy Camden, I am.

Your request to be excused
from jury duty has been denied.

There must be some mistake.
I'm a student.

I have classes,
tests, papers to write.

Being a student in itself
is no excuse.

You would have to prove

that it would be an extreme hardship
for you to serve.

It would be en extreme hardship.

I'll miss classes, fall behind,
not make grades.

And before you know it, I'm kicked out
and all my dreams are crushed

just because I couldn't get excused
from jury duty.

If that's not an extreme hardship,
I don't know what is.

Nice try, ha.

Don't worry, we'll give you a note
to give your teachers.

But-- But--

Ahem. There is one option.

If you really feel
you can't miss any classes,

you can postpone your duty
until the summer.

I plan to go to school
during the summer.

I also plan to help pay for school
by getting a job.

Christmas week is open.
There's no school then.

I can't possibly serve
during Christmas week.

It's Christmas.
Christmas is big at my house.

Oh, that's right. House of ministers.

So you see, it would be an extreme
hardship for me to serve.

I'm sorry.

Looks like you're just gonna have to
let go and let God.

I don't think that applies here.

I stand corrected.

Time to bite the bullet.

That's much more like it.

- So how are we feeling?
- Better and better.

I feel like I'm getting stronger
every day.

Oh, I wish I could say that,
and I didn't have a bypass operation.

Well, you know, it's these exercises
they make you do.

You just have to work exercise
into your daily routine.

Mm. I find it a lot easier to work
a doughnut into my daily routine.

[CHUCKLES]

So, what about the other stuff?

"Other stuff"?

Well, do you think you're coming
closer to making any decisions?

Ah, yes, "the other stuff."

Like what am I gonna do
for the rest of my life?

Yeah, ha, well,
let's just start with the next few weeks.

Well, stop trying to make it easier.

Don't you see I like wallowing?

Well, you're not gonna find
any sympathy here.

When it comes to wallowing,
you got nothing on me.

How you dealing with the divorce?

Oh.

[SIGHS]

I thought the final decree
would give me some closure,

but we seem to have more problems
now then when we were married.

It's not unusual.

I mean, you have a family together
that you both have to deal with.

Divorce doesn't fix the problems.
It's, uh, a surrender.

Well, and you're right.

And yet it--
You're doing it again, Eric.

- Doing what?
- Oh, you know what.

Taking over the session. Avoidance.

This is about you, not me.

But this is about me. I mean,
this is what I've done for years.

This is who I am.

Now, have you tried counselling?

[SPUTTERS]

Tsk. We did try marriage counselling
before the divorce and it failed.

I don't think it would work
now that we're divorced.

Ah.

[CHUCKLES]

Now, that's where you're mistaken.

I-- I know several couples

who've actually had much more
success with counselling

after divorce than before.

Because the legal issues
had already been resolved

so they were now free
to get into the real issues,

the life issues.

Well, I see your point and--

Would you please stop doing this?

I just went to the restroom
for five minutes.

- Where is everyone?
- Well, it's over.

The last jury pool was just chosen.

- So I'm finished?
- You are.

- Well, that was certainly easy.
- See you tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

No, no, no.
There has to be some mistake.

I was here all day.

I just left to go to the restroom.
I had to go to the restroom.

I've been afraid to go all day,

I was afraid that my name would be
called and I would miss it.

And now my name was called
and I missed it

so I have to come back again
tomorrow?

Not much fun, is it?

No. So-- So that's why they should
give someone else a chance

to come here tomorrow
instead of me.

If you weren't chosen
as part of a jury pool,

- you have to come back until you are.
- But I was chosen, I just wasn't here.

- That's the chance you take.
- That's not fair!

Life's not fair.

I can just be sitting in here for the rest
of my life, waiting to be chosen?

We have you for one trial.

If you're dismissed by the judge
or the prosecutor

or the defence attorney,
then you can leave.

If not, you serve on the jury.

So basically you own me.

If that's how you wanna look at it.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Cecilia's father
finally agreed to let me see her,

and now she's acting weird.

Weird like a 16-year-old asking his
girlfriend's father if they can have sex?

- That kind of weird?
- Give me a break.

Okay? Cecilia's father gave me
a break.

If I was Cecilia's father,
there'd be no way you'd get a break.

I wouldn't let you go
anywhere near my daughter.

Well, maybe he said something to her
that I don't know about.

Something like she could go out
with me,

but she shouldn't go out with me.

I have no idea what Cecilia's father
may have said to her.

But all you need to worry about
is what you've said to her.

You know, I bet that's it.

I'm sorry about what happened earlier,
but, you know,

maybe you should come
to my next session with Dr. Gibson.

No, you're missing the point.

I don't wanna eavesdrop
on your therapy sessions.

I want you to stop shutting me out

and start talking to me about whatever
you're talking about in therapy.

I understand. I really do.
But I'd still like you to come.

No, I don't wanna interfere
with your work there.

Dr. Gibson asked if you would come.

He what?

[SIGHS]

What did you tell him about me?

- Oh, no, don't go there.
- Where?

Where you're going.
I didn't say anything that bad.

- "That bad"?!
- Oh, I'm sorry.

Poor choice of words.

Ha, ha, you have nothing
to worry about.

Why can't you tell me
what you said?

Because what I said
is between me and my therapist.

- Not if it's about me.
- Yes, even when it's about you.

Look, I'm not gonna
walk into that office and be blindsided,

so tell me what you said
so I can be prepared.

Gee, that kind of defeats
the whole purpose, doesn't it?

Oh...

Why don't we discuss this later?

Is therapy always this emotional?

You know how I feel
about eavesdropping.

I wasn't eavesdropping.

You guys were yelling,
or almost yelling.

We were, weren't we?
Almost yelling.

Yes. And if you ask me,
it's worse than yelling.

I'm sorry. Sometimes
your dad and I argue, but it--

[ANNIE SIGHS]

Wait.

He's my husband
and I'm angry with him.

I-- I can be angry
with my own husband.

It's perfectly acceptable
by anybody's standards.

Yes, but maybe you should go to
the therapy session with Dad anyway.

- Why is that?
- Because ever since the operation,

Dad's been acting kind of weird

and who knows what kind of bizarre
decisions he'll make on his own.

You don't even want to know
what I went through today.

Yet I have a feeling
I'm about to find out.

It was awful.

I couldn't get excused from jury duty.
I was held captive.

- At gunpoint?
- Practically, and not funny.

Then after I left jury duty,
I had to rush over to school,

pick up notes from my classes,
and then try to see my professors.

One was there,
I had to wait for another,

and leave a note for a third.

- So let's eat.
- That's all you have to say?

What do you want me to say?

Something more than "let's eat."
I had a terrible day

and I expect at least a little sympathy
from the man who loves me.

Why do you wanna get excused
from jury duty?

For the obvious reasons: I'm really
busy and it's a real inconvenience.

Let somebody else
who's not as busy do it.

I believe in the judicial system

or I wouldn't have become
a policeman.

I realise that.

I know it's not perfect,

but in order for it to work the best,
everyone has to do their part.

What if everyone felt like you did?

- Everyone doesn't.
- Too many people do.

And they're the first to complain
when criminals get off.

Are you blaming me for the failures
in the judicial system?

Think of the judicial system as a car.

If all cylinders are functioning well,
it runs great.

If not, it still runs, but not as well.

You're talking to me as if I'm
a grease stain on the halls of justice.

Ahh, I'm just talking to you
about the judicial system.

It sounded personal.

You know, let's just forget
about going out to dinner.

What happened to "let's eat"?

I still wanna eat.

I just don't feel like eating
with you right now.

[SIGHS]

Hey, I missed you at work yesterday.

Someone didn't show up
at one of the other schools

so I had to cover for them.

My dad and I aren't getting along,
so I couldn't exactly protest.

Well, do you wanna talk about it?

No. I'll see you at work.

- Goodbye.
- Bye.

Looks like you got your answer.

- What answer?
- About how ministers,

one particular minister,
feels about premarital sex.

What are you implying?

That evidently Chandler
has no problem with it,

- even though he's a minister.
- Well, aren't we judgemental.

Chandler suggested
we go to breakfast

and then he drive me to work
so we could spend more time together.

He's really thoughtful and romantic.

Unlike you, Kinkirk, who obviously has
nothing but sex on the brain.

- Me? What about you?
- Me?

Well, I've learned that
there's more to relationships than sex.

Wipe that smile off your face.

For those of you
who were late yesterday,

I'll soon be showing a video
on jury duty

and how performing it
is everyone's civic duty.

And thank you, Mark Burman,
for your suggestion

to show the Godfather trilogy
instead.

I'll look into it, heh.

Anyway, for those of you
who weren't processed yesterday,

I want to inform you that you may be
on a trial that might take a few weeks.

As soon as they're ready,

you'll be taken down as a group
and questioned on your ability to serve.

I can't be on a jury for a few weeks.
I have midterms.

Excuse the clich?,
but tell it to the judge.

- Maybe he'll excuse you.
- "Maybe"?

- Only "maybe"?
- It's totally up to the judge.

What if my boyfriend
is a police officer?

I have seen cases
where people have been excused

because they were involved
with a police officer or police work,

but it can go either way.

Sometimes DAs like jurors
who are sympathetic to the police.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- How was school?
- Okay.

Are you preparing for your next
therapy session with Dr. Gibson?

Uh, I'm not.

Uh, I just--
I had an idea for another book

and I just wanted to write it down
before I forgot it.

How do people prepare
for therapy sessions?

Well, you don't really have to prepare,
but some people do.

And the more work you put into it,
the more you get out of it.

Why do you ask?

I can help you with the session
that includes Mom.

- She is going, right?
- I don't know.

Why does your therapist
wanna see her?

Well, that's between Dr. Gibson,
your mom and me.

Why doesn't he invite
the rest of the family?

- We all have issues.
- Issues?

- All of you?
- I think you should ask him.

I could go any day after school.

They're still talking.

Would you check again
and make sure?

I'm sure.

Even if they don't make
a decision today

about whether to try the case
or take a plea,

you still have to come back
again tomorrow.

[LUCY SIGHS]

[CECILIA SIGHS]

You better get back to work or my
dad is gonna be really angry with you.

I will. But first I wanna know
what's going on.

What do you mean?

We always worked
side-by-side before.

Did we? I don't remember.

[SCOFFS]

Why are you avoiding me?

Just tell me.
Let's talk about it, whatever it is.

Just let it alone, okay?

We don't have to talk
about everything.

Is this about your dad?
Did he say something?

Well, what? I don't understand
what the problem is.

We have permission
to be with each other.

- It's what we wanted, isn't it?
- We?

- You don't get it, do you?
- No.

This isn't about you,
or you and my dad.

So just go away, will you?

Tell me you're okay not having
a physical relationship with Lucy.

I wouldn't go anywhere
near Lucy right now,

even if we were having sex,
because I'm angry with her.

MAN: Ugh.
ROXANNE: About jury duty?

You'd give all that up because
she doesn't wanna be a juror?

No. Because Lucy can't just be
oblivious to who I am.

I mean, why else would we be putting
our lives on the line every day

if we didn't think the bad guys were
gonna be put in prison?

Okay, but you can't expect everyone
to feel the way we do about it.

I expect the woman I'm going to marry
to feel the same way about it.

[MAN GRUNTS]

Excuse me, sir?

MAN: Unh!
- Ow!

[MAN GRUNTING]

Drop it! Drop it!

[GROANING]

Face down! Face down!

[GRUNTS]

[GROANS]

Officer down. I need an ambulance.

I'm okay.

DISPATCHER [OVER RADIO]:
All units, EMT needed.

Officer down,
alley on 3rd and Washington.

That's more than just a flesh wound.

You lost a lot of blood.
I'd like you to stay overnight.

I don't see any need for that.

Listen to him, he's the doctor.

He knows what he's talking about.

I'm fine, and I hate hospitals.

Are you okay?

I just got a call
from Detective Michaels.

I'm fine. It was just a couple stitches.

Ahh, thank God.

It was more
than just a couple of stitches.

He wants me to stay overnight.

Well, that's a good idea.
I'll stay with you too.

Make sure everything's all right.
Keep you company.

Thanks.

- Maybe I should stay.
- Good.

I'll call a nurse
and make arrangements for a room.

I'll leave her with you,
Chandler. Thanks.

All right, now.

ROXANNE:
Hold my hand.

CHANDLER:
Mm.

You're sexy even when you're
wounded, you know that?

[CHUCKLES]

LUCY:
I just got your message.

- How's Roxanne?
- She's okay.

I didn't mean for you to come here.

I wanted to let you know
where I was, and now I'm leaving.

- How is she?
- She's fine.

How did it happen?

We were checking
on this homeless man in the alley.

We were talking about you,
weren't paying close enough attention.

You're not gonna blame this on me,
are you?

No, I'm not.
This isn't about you, Lucy.

Not everything is about you.

I'm still not looking forward to going.

And-- And I'm still not certain
why Dr. Gibson wants me there.

Because he wants you there.

He didn't tell me why he wants you
there, but he wants you there.

Ruthie told me that everyone
in this family has issues with me.

Are you aware of that?

That she told you, no.

But I'm not surprised if they do.

- You're not?
- No.

The person hanging around
inside your body

since the operation
is not the husband I know,

nor is it the father
that the kids have known.

- Is that so?
- Yeah.

We're used to an Eric Camden
who is decisive.

Who takes charge.

Not someone who sits around
contemplating his navel all day.

Contemplating my navel?

Well, you might as well be.

- I think this is about something else.
- You do?

I think you're upset

because I'm not jumping
when you pull the strings.

- You can't mean that.
- Why not?

Because that's ridiculous.

Lately, if it's not your way,
it's no way.

It's not even lately.

You know what?
I just changed my mind.

I'm not going.

You can't cancel at the last minute.

Oh, yes, I can.

Okay, I'm going alone.

All by myself.

Just me.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

See if you can do something
about that pipe under the sink.

Now, I know we don't do plumbing,
but it looks like an easy fix.

I'm sorry for bothering you,
but I need to talk to you about Cecilia.

- I don't think so, Simon.
- Well, please, just hear me out.

I get the feeling that even though
you'll let Cecilia go out with me again,

that she really doesn't think
you approve of me.

What makes you think
this has anything to do with me?

Uh, well, since she didn't have
a problem with me before.

You are some piece of work, kid.

You're still acting like

whatever happened
between you and Cecilia was nothing.

Uh, no, not nothing.
Certainly not nothing, but--

But? But what?

[SIGHS]

Now, look, I know my daughter.

And I don't think
this has anything to do with me.

I think it has to do with her feelings

about what happened
between the two of you.

Now, maybe she's scared

that since she agreed to certain things
with you before,

that she'll be faced
with the decision again.

Or maybe she's even afraid
she'll be pressured to make a decision.

I didn't pressure her.

I would never pressure her.

And besides, we both agreed
that we don't wanna do that.

[SIGHS]

Well, I want to, but I know for sure
that we're not ready.

And what does that mean?

You're just gonna go back with her
and wait till she gets ready?

[SCOFFS]

This is not about me or you, Simon.

This is about Cecilia
and how she feels.

I've been thinking.

I really love being with you

and I would like to take our relationship
to that next step.

What next step? What, you mean--?

Ha, ha, you just got stabbed
and you're still thinking about sex?

I'm a police officer
and a woman, and, well...

Well, not that next step.

And maybe it's too soon,

but it's just that

I would like to continue dating you

with the idea
of marrying you someday.

Is that okay with you?

I'm not on some painkiller
that would make me hallucinate, am I?

Ha, ha, no.

- Well, are you?
- No.

Say it again.

I would like to continue dating you

with the intentions
of marrying you someday.

- One more time.
- Tell me if it's okay with you.

It's okay with me.

I just love hearing it.

- One more time, please?
- No.

You know, you're really good
at saying no to me.

It's not easy.

I'm not upset with you.

I'm upset with myself.

I was so annoyed with you
and your attitude about jury duty

that I became distracted
and unfocused at work.

But it's my fault.

You didn't cause anything.

But how can my hating jury duty
upset you that much?

[SIGHS]

- I'm going for a walk.
- Can I go with you?

I don't think so.

If I spend any more time
with you right now,

I may say something I'll regret.

Like what?

Like there are some things
I don't like about you,

and I'm just gonna have to accept
those things.

If I can.

[PHONE RINGING]

- Hello?
- Hi, Ruthie, it's Ben.

How is everyone?

RUTHIE:
Mom and Dad are fighting all the time.

Dad was crazy, now Mom's crazy.

- It's spreading.
- Ha, ha, calm down.

Everyone gets crazy sometime.

Dad asked Mom to go to his
therapy session and she refused.

Really?

Therapy, like marriage counselling?

Yes, like that.

Look, Ruthie, any couple, even people
as great as your parents,

can grow apart,
have problems, get divorced.

My parents can't get divorced,
you big ape!

I won't let them!

- Eavesdropping?
- Yes, Ruthie.

Your father and I
would never get divorced.

How do you know?

You won't even go
to therapy with him.

Maybe he'll decide without you,
and he's not making great decisions.

This isn't just about you,
it's about our whole family.

Good news.

It looks like there will be a trial,
Room 1411 right across the hall.

Oh. I hope that the trial
doesn't go on for months

and that they sequester the jury.

- That would be awful.
- I agree,

especially for all the other jurors
who would be locked up with you.

All rise.

You may be seated.

Welcome to my courtroom.
I'm Judge Lanzo.

And my first question for you is,

do any of you know the defendant?

That's Jimmy Moon,
my high-school boyfriend.

- Hi.
- Oh, hi.

No, no, no, please.
Just give me a second to talk to you.

I know I upset you.
I don't wanna do that anymore.

What do you want?

I've been thinking a lot about myself
and what I've been going through.

You don't have to tell me that.

But I should have been
thinking about you.

- I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
- Good.

Because you've been a big jerk.

You never once asked me
how I was feeling about anything

that happened between us
or anything that didn't happen.

So how do you feel?

I feel angry that you didn't ask me
how I felt about going out again

before you and my father
made my decision for me.

So we can talk about that and when
you wanna go out again, we'll go out.

What I miss the most about not being
with you is your friendship.

I don't ever wanna lose you as a friend,
even if you never date me again.

Okay.

I'll date you,
but definitely not exclusively.

I need to see other people.

And if I feel even once that you're
putting pressure on me to be intimate,

- we're done.
- I understand.

I need to earn your trust
to get that back.

Speaking of trust,

I'm not comfortable
with your going out with anyone else.

I mean, after what we went through
and all,

I'd always think you were going
out with other women for, you know?

You don't have to worry about that.

You're the only woman I wanna see

even if I'm not
the only guy that you wanna see.

Great. Then we have a deal.

I gotta get to class.

Yeah, me too.

Cecilia.

It's great to see you smiling again.

What did I just agree to?

I'd like to volunteer
to be put on another trial.

What happened to the trial
you were on?

I was excused
because I knew the defendant.

Oh, well, then you're finished.
You just served.

- I didn't really serve.
- You did.

Serving is showing up
and being part of the process.

Been processed, free to go.

I don't wanna go.

I didn't think my participation
as a juror was important.

But now that I saw
an old friend on trial,

I realise how important it really is
for everyone to participate.

Everybody's somebody's friend
or relative

and we want them
to get the best trial possible.

So will you put me on another trial?

Congratulations
on your civic awakening.

You can exercise your new-found
consciousness next year,

or whenever it is you're called again.

God willing, I'll be on vacation
that week.

Annie, I'm glad you could make it.

I asked you to come
because I realised that Eric

was avoiding talking to you
as well as me.

So if Muhammad
won't go to the mountain...

ANNIE: Is that true?
You avoiding talking to me?

Yes, um, I guess I am.

ANNIE:
What do you wanna tell me?

Are you sure
you wanna hear this, Annie?

No, but maybe I need to know.

I resent your lack of support
in my changing careers.

I'm sorry.

I-- I didn't think
you wanted to change careers,

not deep down inside.

But on some level, I did.

And I still do, maybe.
And you just dismissed that.

Okay, what else?

[SCOFFS]

I resent that you forced me
into therapy.

Again, I'm sorry.

I, uh...

I really thought you wanted a way
back into the church,

but that you didn't know
how to get there.

And I knew that
the longer you stayed away,

the harder it would be to get back.

I know that.

You sure you don't wanna go back?

[ERIC SCOFFS]

You see? She just dismisses
anything she doesn't wanna hear.

It's been like this for months.

She doesn't hear anything
I'm saying.

I do. I hear you.

[SIGHS]

It's just that

I've loved you
for more than half of my life.

I know you.

Just tell me
that you are absolutely certain

that you're giving up the ministry
because it is no longer your calling.

Just tell me that
you no longer have a passion for it.

Just tell me
right here and right now

that when you were listening
to Lucy give that sermon,

that beautiful sermon,

that you didn't wanna go
back in that church,

your church, and begin again.

Now we're getting somewhere.

When I saw Jimmy in court,

I understood
what you were saying about jury duty.

It was really unnerving
to see him there.

People make
unfortunate choices in life

and there are consequences.

I just wish there was a way that I could
go back tomorrow and serve again.

This isn't about you.

It's about the judicial system,
and the system worked.

The system worked to keep me
from serving as a juror?

You knew the defendant,
so you weren't allowed to serve,

because you'd be prejudiced.

Next time you're called,
you won't know the defendant

and you can serve.

Unless of course, you know
a lot of felons that I don't know about.

I'm sorry for having been
such a bad citizen.

I don't think you're a bad citizen.

Isn't that the thing
you don't like about me?

I'm sorry I said that.

- I love you.
- I love you too.

But sometimes I think
I can get a little self-absorbed.

No, you think?

[LUCY SCOFFS]

I'm going to tell you something you're
eventually going to find out anyway.

That sounds ominous.

Chandler has made a commitment
to Roxanne.

It's not an engagement or anything,

but they're now dating with the thought
of marriage in their future.

You're right.
That's not an engagement.

That's nothing like an engagement.

But if Roxanne and Chandler
get married before we do,

you're a dead man,
and they won't have to get me a jury.

I'll proudly plead guilty.

[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES]

I can't wait. I've been craving
strawberry shortcake for days.

I wonder if you should eat it.

- You know, your health?
- I don't care.

All the food on my diet
tastes like straw.

We could share a piece, hmm?

Give me the bad news.

Are you gonna join all my friends'
parents and get divorced?

Divorced?

- Where did you get that idea?
- Ben.

I called him, and he promised

not to have any further conversations
with our children

without sharing his ideas
with me first.

Therapy can help people
when they want the help.

She's talking about me.

I want the help
and I'm gonna get the help.

I'm even gonna help myself.

I'm gonna have my cake
and eat it too.

ERIC:
Mm. Mm.

[ERIC AND ANNIE CHUCKLE]

ANNIE:
Mm. Mm. Mm.
