Camden's House - Eric and Annie's Room
Eric: Uh... uh... ah... uh...!!
Annie: Okay, what is it this time?
Eric: Oh... I wasn't wearing any clothes and I forgot the wedding vows. I was marrying Kevin and Lucy in my underwear. Oh... Why did I agree to make my first official act back at the church marrying Kevin and Lucy? Why?
Annie: Because you love your daughter very much and you know that if you don't marry her it'll break her heart.
Eric: But there's so much pressure and stress and... I don't want to mess up the most important day of Lucy's life. It's so... Thanks for the support.
Drugstore
Terry: Hey Danny!
Danny: Hey, starting out early today Detective Richardson?
Terry: Yeah.
Danny: Now how's the beautiful daughter of yours doing?
Terry: Roxanne is dating a minister, if you can believe that.
Danny: A minister.
Robber: Give me all the cash in the drawer. Come on, hurry up. I don't have all day. Come on, give me the money!
Terry: Drop the gun! Drop the gun. My partner's already called this in. It's over. You're not going to get away, so just put the gun down and nobody gets hurt.
Robber: I know you.
Terry: And I know you. But I also know you need to put that gun down before someone gets hurt.
Camden's House - Eric and Annie's Room
Eric: What?
Camden's House - Kitchen
Eric: Why didn't you wake me?
Annie: You need your sleep.
Eric: No, I need to practice waking up.
Annie: It's just a nightmare. You're not going to oversleep for Lucy's wedding. Besides you got plenty of time to practice, the wedding's not till April.
Eric: What about the no clothes thing?
Annie: I'll bring an extra suit to the church. Maybe you should talk to someone.
Eric: You know every time I have a problem you can't ship me off to a therapist.
Annie: No, no, no. I mean a friend. Talk to Morgan. Patricia's coming over this morning to help me you know finish Kevin's apartment so I can have it ready by the time they get back from their honeymoon. Morgan's got the day free. Give him a call. Talk to him, minister to minister.
Eric: You're going to finish the apartment by April?
Annie: I can do it. Unlike some people I know I work well under pressure.
Eric: That was cold.
Camden's House - Attic Room
Lucy: Come on, I have a test on Monday.
Kevin: So, kiss now, study later.
Lucy: There is no later for me. I have a meeting with a professor this afternoon and I still have two chapters to read.
Kevin: But, the test is on Monday.
Lucy: I know.
Kevin: Well you're cutting it kinda close, aren't you?
Lucy: I don't have time to do everything I have to do. I'm a full-time student, I'm playing our wedding, I'm planning on how we're going to life after our wedding and I know things are not going to get easier after we're married. If anything they're going to get more difficult.
Kevin: Difficult in some ways, better in some ways.
Lucy: Maybe I should take a break.
Kevin: From the wedding?
Lucy: From school.
Kevin: Hey, remember your promise to me when I asked you to marry me. You're going to finish school and start your career no matter what.
Lucy: Sometimes promises are hard to keep.
Kevin: Not this one. And Luce, if you need help with the wedding...
Lucy: You're going to help me?
Kevin: No, but I can hire someone to help you.
Lucy: That's sweet, but I want to...
Kevin: Do everything yourself?
Lucy: I just never thought a wedding could take this much time and energy.
Kevin: There must be something I can do to help you.
Lucy: There is something. I need a break.
Kevin: No, you need to study.
Lucy: Thanks.
Camden's House - Living Room
Ruthie: No, I will. I swear! I wouldn't lie to you. Okay, bye.
Kevin: Who were you talking to?
Ruthie: Wrong number.
Kevin: It didn't sound like it was a wrong number.
Ruthie: Trust me, it was a wrong number. A very wrong number. Where's Ben?
Kevin: In the garage. But your mom and her friend are working on the apartment today, so he's going to have to find somewhere else to lay around on his day off.
Ruthie: Day off? He's going to be home all day? This is not good.
Kevin: What's not good?
Ruthie: Never mind. Hello? Just a second. It's for you, Roxanne.
Roxanne's House
Roxanne: Kevin are you there?
Kevin: Sorry, yeah I'm here.
Roxanne: Look, Detective Michaels called. There's something going on with my dad. I need to go down to the station.
Kevin: What is it? What's going on?
Roxanne: Detective Michaels would only tell me that I need to come down right away.
Kevin: Do you want me to go with you?
Roxanne: No, I... I'm sure everything's okay, but I...
Kevin: I'm on my way.
Roxanne: Thanks.
Camden's House - Garage Apartment
Ruthie: Kevin sent me up to tell you Mom has to work on the apartment so you have to leave.
Ben: Okay, I'll just hang in the house. I'm versatile.
Ruthie: And lazy.
Ben: Hey.
Ruthie: Come on. It's your day off. Get out of the house. Do something fun.
Ben: Like?
Ruthie: Come to The Promenade with me, lunch my treat. All the burgers you can eat.
Ben: Why are you treating me to lunch?
Ruthie: Well excuse me for wanting to spend some time with my future brother-in-law. And excuse me for wanting to talk and get to know someone who's going to be part of my family in less than two months.
Ben: Okay. I know you're up to something, but I'm hungry and I've got no plans so... lead the way my very sneaky soon to be sister-in-law.
Camden's House - Kitchen
David: Why are we staring at Cecilia?
Simon: Because she's beautiful.
Sam: Yeah, she's beautiful.
Simon: And I love her.
Annie: What are you doing?
David: Staring at Cecilia.
Sam: Yeah, she's beautiful.
Annie: I thought you two were going to help me fix up Kevin's apartment?
Sam: But we like staring at Cecilia.
David: Yeah, she's beautiful.
Annie: Sam, David let's go.
Sam: Bye Cecilia.
David: Bye.
Annie: You two can't just sit around all day and stare at each other.
Simon: What's wrong?
Cecilia: We're right back where we were a month ago.
Simon: Where's that?
Cecilia: At the same place where we were at when we both wanted to have sex. I don't want to go back there. We're not going to have sex.
Camden's House - Eric's Office
Morgan: You're not going to forget your clothes or the vows. You're a professional. You're just a little rusty. But if it'll make you feel better we can get together before the wedding and you can uh... practice performing the ceremony and I'll watch and... give you some pointers. Not that you need any.
Eric: Okay. Thanks. Yeah.
Morgan: Allright.
Eric: I feel better.
Morgan: Now uh... can we talk about something that's been making me a little stressed out and nervous and anxious?
Eric: What's doing that to you?
Morgan: Not what, who.
Camden's House - Kitchen
Patricia: Uh Morgan is driving me crazy. He wants to go off with his friends and play jazz on the road.
Annie: Well he can't do that, he's a minister.
Patricia: That's what I told him. I married a minister not a jazz musician. Now he said he can do both. I said no you can't. Not if you're going to have a church and be a full time father. And he said I don't want to take care of the church. I'm tired of the responsibility. I want to do something for myself, like Eric did.
Annie: This sounds serious.
Patricia: Oh, it is.
Camden's House - Eric's Office
Eric: You want to go on the road and play jazz?
Morgan: Ha, ha, ha... They're friends of mine. I've known them for years. They need a bass player. This is the chance of a lifetime. You know I have you to thank for this. You inspired me.
Eric: I did?
Morgan: Yeah, yeah, you did. Your period of self-discovery inspired me to shake up my life.
Police Station
Det. Michaels: Here you go.
Roxanne: What's going on?
Det. Michaels: Your father's fine. He's in with some detectives now.
Roxanne: Detectives? Why is my dad talking with detectives?
Det. Michaels: As soon as the detectives are finished with your father he wants to talk to you. He wants to tell you what happened. He's been asking for you.
Roxanne: No, I want to know now. You tell me.
Det. Michaels: Your father was involved in a shooting this morning. The suspect was robbing a convenience store and your dad just happened to come in for a cup of coffee. Suspect pulled a gun, aimed it at your father, your father shot him. Suspect is dead.
Roxanne: What's the problem? Sounds like an open and shut case to me. Why is he being interrogated like he did something wrong?
Det. Michaels: The suspect, the man your father shot was someone he used to know. It complicates the case, the shooting.
Roxanne: My dad used to know someone who robbed convenience stores? I don't think so.
Det. Michaels: You know him too. It was the man suspected of murdering your mother. That's who your father shot and killed today.
Camden's House - Kitchen
Annie: We have to do something about Patricia and Morgan.
Eric: I agree.
Annie: Leaving the church. Jazz? It sounds like he's in the middle of a mid-life crisis.
Eric: And we can't let them make the same mistakes we made.
Annie: What mistakes did I make? You're the one who went crazy.
Eric: Uh look, this isn't about us. This is about keeping our best friends from ending their marriage. Let's keep our eyes on the goal.
Annie: Yes, but I didn't make any mistakes.
Eric: Anyway, if Morgan goes away with that jazz band... you know that their marriage won't survive.
Annie: We have to talk to them. We have to get them to see each other's point of view.
Eric: I don't think Morgan will listen to me since he's modeling his mid-life crisis after mine.
Annie: So, I'll talk to him?
Eric: And I'll talk to Patricia. You didn't make as many mistakes as I did, okay?
Annie: I can live with that.
Teacher's Office
Teacher: I don't understand how you can go from an "A" to a "C-" in my class. Well I do know how. Your work lately has been scattered, not well researched and just plain bad. What's going on?
Lucy: I've been very busy and preoccupied lately.
Teacher: With other classes?
Lucy: No, with my wedding.
Teacher: Ah... Miss Camden, if your grades drop any further you're going to force me to put you on academic probation. Frankly you'd be better off taking an incomplete now. That way at least you can maintain the work you've done all year. But, I really hope you'll find some way to balance your personal life and your school life and remain a full-time student. In my experience, very few students who take incompletes ever return to school and finish their degrees.
Promenade
Ruthie: How about that one?
Ben: Na.
Ruthie: What's wrong with her?
Ben: Nothing.
Ruthie: So ask her out.
Ben: I don't want to ask her out.
Ruthie: Why?
Ben: Why do you care?
Ruthie: You need a girlfriend.
Ben: No, I don't.
Ruthie: Just give her a chance. She can be the one.
Ben: I thought Mary was the one. The one hasn't really worked for me. Maybe I should be looking for someone who isn't the one. So, are you going to tell me why I'm here and why you're acting so weird?
Ruthie: You need to trust me on this one. You need a girlfriend. So get a girlfriend. Now!
Movie Theater
Simon: Two please.
Clerk: Which one? "Young lovers in Paris"? "Sammy the squirrel takes a holiday"?
Cecilia: "Sammy the squirrel takes a holiday".
Clerk: Okay.
Simon: I think it's safe to say that watching a squirrel sing and dance his way across America for two hours pretty much guarantees that neither one of us will be thinking about sex.
Police Station
Kevin: If your upset about your father we can talk.
Roxanne: I don't want to talk.
Kevin: Maybe I should call Chandler.
Roxanne: I don't want to talk, and I don't want Chandler. I just want to wait here until they release my dad and I'll take him home.
Kevin: I'm gonna call Chandler.
Roxanne: No, I don't want Chandler. Okay? I just want to be left alone. Go home Kinkirk.
Camden's House - Garage Apartment
Eric: Look, I don't really know why Morgan wants to play jazz, but I do know that I just woke up one day and I needed a change. I mean I didn't know why kind of change, I just wanted to do something different. And I did something different and then... thankfully and recently due mostly to Lucy's upcoming wedding I have come to my senses and I'm headed back to church. When I took my little uh... break you should know that I wasn't easy to live with. I just... I shut down. I wouldn't really communicate with Annie. And as you know communication's the key to any successful and happy marriage. Now, a good way to go and don't laugh at me... but I was thinking that you and Morgan might benefit greatly from therapy. Now don't be afraid of it. Going to therapy to help your marriage is a... it's a healthy and sane response. When you just... you don't know what's broken and you want to fix it. It doesn't mean you're a failure. It... it means you're human.
Patricia: Eric, what are you trying to say to me?
Eric: Don't quit your marriage. Be strong. Admit that you're at fault too and get some help.
Camden's House - Living Room
Annie: Maybe Patricia doesn't think that you really want to change careers. I mean I know I didn't think Eric was seriously thinking about changing careers when he went off and worked at that radio station or wrote that novel, all the other things he tried. I... I... it wasn't that I wasn't supporting... I wasn't understanding. See a marriage needs both of those things, support and understanding. It also needs love. But the funny thing is the love can't make it through if the support and the understanding aren't there to sort of open the door. When you finally open that door, do you know what's waiting for you?
Morgan: Love.
Annie: Love. Remember that.
Morgan: Okay.
Police Station
Lucy: We need to talk.
Kevin: Now is not good time,
Lucy: It's really important.
Kevin: Roxanne's father was involved in a shooting today. I really can't say anything more, but I don't want to leave Roxanne.
Lucy: Is Roxanne's father okay?
Kevin: Yes... but they're investigating.
Lucy: Investigating what?
Kevin: I really can't talk about it right now.
Lucy: Look, I'm sorry about Roxanne and her dad and I know my timing is lousy but, I need to talk to you.
Kevin: At home, later.
Lucy: You're right. My stuff can wait. I just wanted to tell you I quit school. I'll see you at home.
Movie Theater
Clerk: You have to leave.
Simon: We were just watching the movie.
Clerk: Great, uh but the kids are watching you and the parents are complaining. You know can't you find a better place to make out than a "Sammy the Squirrel" movie?
Cecilia: Honest, we were just watching the movie. We're big Sammy fans.
Clerk: Then tell me what just happened.
Simon: I think the squirrel just did something.
Cecilia: Funny...
Simon: ...and cute.
Cecilia: ...while on a holiday.
Simon: ...in America.
Clerk: Get out.
Simon: Okay.
Promenade
Ruthie: Ben, this is Jill. Jill, the guy I was telling you about, Ben, fireman. The cute, funny, sweet, loves pets, especially dogs, single fireman. Take off you jacket and show Jill your chest. It's a nice chest. By they way Jill is a full-time student studying modern dance. Besides being in great shape, she also likes long walks in the woods, burgers not steak, and blue is her favorite color. She lives alone now, but is currently looking for that special someone to bring home to her parents. I should probably mention that Ben is also very parent friendly.
Jill: Are we on camera or something?
Ben: No.
Jill: What? So you two are just weirdoes? Security? Security?!!
Camden's House - Kitchen
Annie: Morgan barely talked to me. How about you?
Eric: Uh Patricia seems to be in denial that there's even a problem.
Annie: They do love each other.
Eric: So... what are we going to do? We can't just let them break up.
Annie: I have an idea, but it's kind of nutty.
Eric: Oh I like nutty.
Police Station
Chandler: I just got your message. Is Roxanne okay? Is her father okay? I would have been down here sooner but I was visiting people at the hospital.
Kevin: Roxanne says she's fine, but she's not fine. The guy her dad shot turns out to be the same guy everyone thinks is responsible for her mother's death. Just some freaky coincidence. But there's an investigation. And well, I'm glad you're here.
Roxanne: Well I'm not glad you're here. I told him not to call you.
Kevin: You need to talk to someone. If you won't talk to me, talk to Chandler.
Chandler: Roxanne you're just upset. Let's just sit down and talk.
Roxanne: I'm not upset. I just want to take my dad home. I mean why won't they let him leave? He didn't do anything wrong! Where's my dad? What's taking so long?
Det. Michaels: He'll be out in a second. He's just signing his statement.
Roxanne: So is everything okay? Can we leave now? Det. Michaels, is everything okay?
Det. Michaels: Your father... your father has decided to resign from the police force.
Roxanne: What... what did you say?
Det. Michaels: Your father quit. I'm sorry.
Roxanne: Okay now I'm upset.
Promenade
Roxanne: I want to go home, my dad needs me.
Chandler: Uh he said he wanted to be alone.
Roxanne: This is so wrong.
Chandler: It isn't first time your father killed a man...?
Roxanne: No, no, that's not what's wrong. Okay? I don't care about that man, and frankly I'm glad he's dead. He killed my mother. What's wrong is that the police department forced my dad to quit.
Chandler: That's not what your father said.
Roxanne: Look, my dad's whole life has been about being a police officer. He's not just going to quit unless they force him to. And he's not going to give up his whole life's work without a fight. He just doesn't want any investigation in the shooting to taint his career or mine.
Chandler: Okay, but your father's been on the police force for a really long time and he's never killed anyone. Taking somebody's life, I mean it had to have shaken him up a bit, made him rethink things. Couldn't that be why he quit?
Roxanne: Not that life.
Chandler: What do you mean?
Roxanne: The life he took isn't worth being shook up over. That man killed my mother and he would have killed my father. He's a bad man and now he's dead and some might think he deserved that.
Chandler: What? What so he deserved to die?
Roxanne: My dad isn't upset that he killed that guy, trust me.
Chandler: Are you saying that your father could have killed that guy on purpose?
Roxanne: I wouldn't care if he did. What is wrong with you? It... it's in the Bible, you know an eye for an eye and...
Chandler: Yes, but turn the other cheek and... and forgive one another as God as forgiven you is also in the Bible. You know you're a police officer, and your father is a police officer. The police don't believe in vengeance, they believe in the law.
Roxanne: I had no idea.
Chandler: You had no idea what?
Roxanne: I had no idea that I was in love with a bleeding heart liberal who thinks that criminals have more rights than honest law abiding citizens. You know what? You don't know how I feel. And until your mother is gunned down in cold blood, which I hope never happens, you will never know how I feel. So it looks like I have a lot to think about and I want to think about it alone.
Camden's House - Attic Room
Lucy: My grades are slipping and if I quit now and take incompletes I can protect the work I've done. It's too much pressure. Too much stress. I mean the wedding and school and once we get married it's just going to get worse. I just need a little break. I'm going to go back and finish later when things settle down.
Kevin: We're going to postpone the wedding.
Lucy: The invitations have already gone out.
Kevin: You are not quitting school just so we can get married, you promised.
Lucy: It's my decision. You can't make me stay in school.
Kevin: No, but I can not marry you.
Lucy: You'd do that?
Kevin: I would most defiantly not marry you if marrying you meant you quit school. Lucy, really think about this, because I am serious. I would never forgive myself if I were the reason you quit school.
Camden's House - Backyard
Ben: Hold on. I think I deserve an explanation. What's going on with you?
Ruthie: What do you mean?
Ben: I mean why did you want me out of the house? Why did you want me to go to The Promenade with you? Why did you throw the Jill woman at me? Why do you want me to get a girlfriend so badly? And don't tell me it's because you don't want me to be alone. Come on, I thought we were friends. Tell me what's going one.
Ruthie: You got a phone call today. Actually you got a lot of phone calls... all week.
Ben: Who called?
Ruthie: Someone who I think will hurt you... even though she won't mean to, she will. It's what she does. I love her. She's just not good at the relationship thing.
Ben: Mary? Mary called?
Ruthie: I'm sorry. I should have told you she called. I just knew she was going to try and get back together with you. She broke your heart once, I just didn't want to see her break it again.
Ben: So you thought that if I had a girlfriend that I wouldn't want to get back together with Mary? Ruthie that's sweet of you, but... I... I doubt Mary wants to start seeing me again.
Ruthie: She told me to tell you she left a ticket at the airport for you. She wants you to come see her in Florida as soon as possible. She wants you back. Now all you have to do is decide if you want her back.
Camden's House - Garage Apartment
Patricia: Okay, what's going on?
Annie: You know Eric and I both tried to talk to you today, but we couldn't get through. So uh we're asking you as friends, as your best friends to just talk to each other or at least try to talk to each other. If you won't do it for yourself, do it for us.
Eric: We'll check back with you in an hour.
Annie: I think you can give this one hour.
Morgan: Do you know what's going on?
Patricia: I was going to ask you.
Morgan: What is wrong with them?
Patricia: I don't know, but don't you dare leave me alone with Eric. If I have to hear anymore about communicating and understanding and marriage I'm going to scream.
Camden's House - Hallway
Annie: I hope this works.
Eric: Are you sure we're doing the right thing?
Annie: If things had gotten that bad between the two of us, I would have liked to have someone lock us in a room until we made peace. We'll check in on them after dinner. That'll give them time to talk and work their problems out.
Eric: Things did get pretty bad between us.
Annie: It's better now, and I love you and I know that Patricia loves Morgan.
Eric: And I know that Morgan loves Patricia.
Annie: We're doing the right thing.
Eric: Yeah.
Camden's House - Garage Apartment
Patricia: Now what are we going to do in here for an hour? We can't do that.
Morgan: Hey... they said we had an hour.
Patricia: Oooo...
Camden's House - Backyard
Annie: I've uh... I've got a little project going on in Kevin's apartment so if you wouldn't mind sort of you know staying away from there until later tonight? I'd really appreciate it.
Ben: Sure.
Eric: Are you okay?
Ben: Yeah... but would you do me a favor and tell Kevin I had to leave?
Eric: Where are you going?
Ben: Florida.
Promenade
Cecilia: I'm so embarrassed.
Simon: Kicked out of the movies for making out.
Cecilia: Not just any movie, a stupid "Sammy the squirrel" movie. What's wrong with us?
Simon: I love you. I... I can't help it. I just... I want to kiss you and be with you.
Cecilia: I love you, but I'm not ready to have sex. And it seems no matter how hard we try we kept heading in that direction. It shouldn't be this difficult to do the right thing. Face it, we're weak. We're not stronger than our emotions.
Simon: What are you saying?
Cecilia: I'm saying I'm not strong enough. I like you too much. If we keep going like this... I don't know if I'll be able to say no when I know no is what I want to say. We've tried things your way, and now I think we have to try things my way. We'll just have to see less of each other. It's for the best.
Simon: Well isn't there any other way?
Cecilia: I don't think so. I'll take the bus home. I'll see you around.
Police Station
Roxanne: I thought about this all afternoon and... I don't want to be a part of this department anymore.
Det. Michaels: Is this about your father?
Roxanne: Yes, this is about my father. He means the world to me. He means everything to me. For a long time it's been just the two of us and I love him very much. And that's why I can't be a part of something that doesn't support him one hundred percent. This department should be standing behind him, not forcing him out.
Det. Michaels: Roxanne, really I...
Roxanne: No you know what? Nothing you say can change my mind. Consider this... my resignation. I quit.
Glenoak Community Church
Chandler: Uh... Detective Michaels...
Det. Michaels: Chandler thanks for agreeing to see me on such short notice.
Chandler: From what you said it was important, something about Roxanne.
Det. Michaels: I need your help.
Chandler: I... I already tried talking to her about her dad and then we just ended up having a fight so...
Det. Michaels: She quit.
Chandler: The police force? It's about her father isn't it?
Det. Michaels: I've been trying to get ahold of him, but he's not taking any calls. I was hoping maybe you could go over and talk to him and get him to talk to Roxanne. I think he's the only person she'll listen to.
Chandler: I want to help but uh... do you really think her father would listen to me?
Det. Michaels: I think he'll listen to you.
Chandler: What makes you so sure?
Det. Michaels: 'Cause you love Roxanne as much as he does.
Cecilia's House
Cecilia: What's going on? I thought we agreed to see less of each other?
Simon: I have the solution to our problem.
Cecilia: You do?
Simon: Yeah.
Cecilia: Well what is it?
Simon: There is no solution to our problem. We love each other. And so it's just going to be difficult for us to want more out of our relationship than either one of us is ready to give. We've been searching for a solution to make being with each other easier and there is none. It's just the price we have to pay for liking each other so much and respecting that we're not ready to have sex. Yeah, sometimes it won't be easy, sometimes we'll want more but... as long as we accept that this is the way things are going to be... and stay together with that understanding than we can see each other as much as we want.
Cecilia: Okay. I can live with that. I miss you.
Simon: Me too. Where's your dad?
Cecilia: Working.
Camden's House - Back Porch
Lucy: How are Roxanne and her father doing?
Kevin: I'm not sure. But Chandler is on the case.
Lucy: I'm not going to quit school. I want to become a minister and I also want to be your wife. And I think with a little planning and help I'll be able to graduate with honors in both those programs.
Kevin: I love you.
Lucy: And that's why I know I'll be able to handle whatever life throws at me. We're going to be a family. And we're going to take care of each other for better or for worse.
Ruthie: Kevin, we need to talk. It's about Ben.
Promenade
Terry: Roxanne I've been looking for you all over. You can't quit.
Roxanne: No, what I can't do is stand by and watch them force you out just because you were doing your job.
Terry: You don't even know why I quit.
Roxanne: Because the department wants to take disciplinary action against you for killing that man or even criminal action.
Terry: Why would they do that?
Roxanne: Because they think you killed that man on purpose because he killed mom.
Terry: Is that what you think? I didn't kill him on purpose. I'm not sorry he's dead. But today I just did my job. And it's preliminary but I've been cleared of any wrongdoing. The department's not going to do anything to me. The chief actually tried to get me to reconsider. Quitting is my idea.
Roxanne: I... I don't get it. If they're not forcing you out...
Terry: It's over.
Roxanne: What's over?
Terry: A war inside me that I've been fighting since your mother was killed. I don't know if I'd feel this way if I hadn't killed the man that you and I both know killed your mother. But he is dead and so is my desire to do this work. I didn't become a police officer because of your mother's dead. But her death was very much a part of how I felt about police work for the past ten years. And now I'm... I'm ready to retire. I'm ready to let go of the tension, anger, pain, start a new life. I know you quit today to support me and I appreciate that. But... but it's... it isn't right. One, I don't need the support and two, you're a good police officer who needs to stay on the force. Don't be a quitter. Your mother wouldn't want you to quit. I don't want you to quit. We all do what we have to do, even if doing what we have to do isn't always easy. And what you have to do is do the work that you know you were born to do, whether I'm on the force or not. You are a great daughter, and you're an outstanding police officer. And what I think is that this town needs at least one Richardson looking out for its welfare.
Roxanne: I love you dad.
Terry: Oh, and I love you. Now, get your butt back to the station and tell Detective Michaels that you're not quitting.
Roxanne: Okay but I just have one stop to make first.
Terry: Yes, yeah... yes you do.
Camden's House - Garage Apartment
Eric: Looks like they made up.
Patricia: Oh, they're back. They're back. Get up.
Morgan: It's been an hour already?
Eric: It's nighttime.
Annie: It's uh... you know after dinner.
Patricia: Well... it's a good thing the kids spent the weekend at my mom's.
Morgan: Is she okay?
Eric: She's just happy.
Morgan: About what?
Annie: About you and Patricia.
Patricia: What about us?
Eric: You're back together.
Patricia: What are you talking about?
Annie: What do you mean what are you talking about? You and Morgan were on the verge of breaking up and we helped keep you together.
Patricia: Morgan and I are fine.
Annie: Well yes, now after our help today.
Morgan: No, no we've... we've always been fine.
Eric: Uh what about the big fight you guys were having today?
Morgan: What fight?
Annie: You wanted to leave the church.
Eric: To play jazz with that touring band. You said my journey of self discovery inspired you to want to play jazz with your friends.
Morgan: Na, it's just the argument I used this year. Next year I'll think of something else. I... Eric I'm sorry. Today when we were talking I... I... you know I was just talking. I... I love Patricia. She can drive me nuts sometimes but I love her.
Patricia: And I love you too honey.
Annie: We didn't save your marriage?
Patricia: No.
Eric: And we didn't stop you from having a mid life crisis?
Morgan: Uh no, no.
Patricia: No, but you did give us one heck of an afternoon.
Morgan: Thanks.
Eric: Well at least I'm not nervous about Lucy's wedding anymore. Of course now I'm a tad nervous about counseling people.
Camden's House - Backyard
Ruthie: I can't believe we missed Ben at the airport.
Kevin: At least we tried to stop him from making yet another monumental mistake involving your sister. Sorry.
Ruthie: That's okay. I love Mary. But I know she's just going to break Ben's heart.
Kevin: There's nothing we can do about it now, he's probably half the way to Florida.
Ruthie: Or not.
Ben: Hi. I got all the way on the plane before I realized something. What am I nuts? I can't get back together with Mary. I mean she's beautiful but... she'll crush my heart like a bug.
Kevin: Sometimes just when I think he's a total bonehead... he does something really smart.
Ruthie: Yeah.
Glenoak Community Church - Church Office
Roxanne: Reverend Chandler Hampton?
Chandler: Yes.
Roxanne: Who do you think you are? 'Cause you know who I think you are? I think... you're the kind of man who loves me so much that you would do anything to make me happy... including talking to my dad so he would talk to me so I'd reconsider resigning from the police force. Which by the way, I did. I'm also hoping you're the kind of guy who can forgive his very opinionated outspoken and blunt girlfriend for the way she conveyed theories on crime and punishment today. I still believe in everything I said, but... there's room in my life for other people's thoughts and opinions. Well at least your thoughts and opinions. And in retrospect I could have been a little more open-minded to what you were saying. Aren't you going to say anything?
Chandler: I'm sorry.
Roxanne: For what?
Chandler: That your mother was killed. You're right... I don't know how you feel, but I feel for you. And just so you know I like the fact that we have different opinions on things. Our differences are what make us a great couple. And I'm sorry that you had to come down here and apologize. I know it wasn't easy for you... being stubborn and opinionated and outspoken and blunt.
Roxanne: I never said I was stubborn.
Chandler: Do you deny it?
Roxanne: No.
Chandler: I really do love you.
Roxanne: And I love you too.
