Original subtitles

We should get up.

We should.

(chuckles) The boys are up.

Yeah, I think they are.

You know, brilliant idea teaching them how to make toast.

I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner.

How much time does making toast buy us?

Like, ten, 15 minutes?

- Twenty. - To make toast?

Imagine.

Well, they have to get the toaster out,

and then the bread, and the butter and the jam.

And they toast one piece at a time

because, of course, it's so much fun cooking breakfast.

I'm... I'm surprised you didn't stumble across toast sooner.

I always enjoy making breakfast for the children.

I like it when they help out with lunch and dinner,

but breakfast is just one of those little things

that makes me feel like the mom.

And now you don't want to feel like the mom?

Oh, no, it's... I-I just want to be your wife,

and I want to sleep in with you,

and I want to spend time with you in the morning.

I'm not going anywhere.

I know.

Everything's going to be fine.

I know.

You keep saying that.

No, see, if you knew-- if you really knew--

then the boys wouldn't be down there making toast,

and you wouldn't be here buttering me up.

I know that you're going to be fine. I do.

I just wish that the doctors knew it, too.

I-I wish that what we know-- what you and I both know--

would show up in a test or something.

Or some... what?

Some sign or some small wonder?

Something from God that would indicate

- that I'm going to live? - Well, yeah.

I don't think God does signs and wonders.

I mean, I don't think we should expect him to do magic tricks

just so we can believe that life is good and I'm going to live.

Well, I wasn't exactly saying that.

Because no matter what the doctors say,

I believe that I have a personal relationship with God

that's going to keep me around a good deal longer.

But, unlike T Bone, God doesn't give out promise rings.

Oh, please, don't get upset.

Please, I-I was just saying

that I wish that our feelings about your health

would be validated in... in some way.

And I wasn't saying that I don't think you're going to live

a long and healthy life.

I'm sure you are.

And I don't even know what that promise ring

that T Bone gave Ruthie means. Do you?

Let's hope it's a promise that the two of them have agreed

to wait till they get married to have sex.

And if it doesn't mean that, what would it mean?

It would mean that he's promised to marry her someday,

which probably means they're thinking about having sex today.

Where did our morning go wrong?

I mean, just moments ago,

all was right with the world, and then...

And then I found out that the boys were making their own toast

because you don't really believe

I'm going to be around much longer.

- You are so... - (Ruthie shrieks)

RUTHIE: Help! Someone help me!

- What happened? - Are you okay?

What is it, Ruthie?

What's wrong, Ruthie? What is it?

Look...

The diamond.

The diamond in my ring, it's gone!

Oh...

Gone.

(quietly): Yeah.

7th Heaven

When I see their happy faces

Smiling back at me

7th Heaven

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

7th Heaven

Mmm, 7th Heaven

7th Heaven.

(Eric sighs)

I know that diamond is very important to you,

but your dad's heart

is important to me-- and to all of us--

so I'd really appreciate it if you don't scream

the next time some little...

Is something burning?

BOTH: The toast! The toast!

Hey! Where's everyone going?

It's-it's just toast!

T Bone?

Someone yell "toast"?

Is a piece of toast

more important than my life?

We have to find that diamond.

- Oh, we will. - Promise.

Promise?

I don't know.

I mean, uh, I'm optimistic, but I'm also realistic.

That diamond is...

the size of a pinhead.

I don't care what size the diamond is.

It's just a bad sign that it fell out.

Bad sign?

From where? What, the universe?

From the universe, life, God.

I don't know.

You think that the universe or life or God

cares about a teeny, tiny

little diamond falling out of your ring?

I mean, maybe,

but there's a lot going on in the world right now

that just might...

It's a promise ring.

You can't even promise me

that you'll help me find the diamond

in the promise ring that you gave me?

I thought this meant something to you, too.

Um... of course.

Then, promise.

Promise.

I'm going to look around my room again.

Are you coming?

Yes, dear.

Uh, you know, it's-it's... it's okay.

It... you know, it's really...

it's just a... it's a stroke of genius

that you only make one piece of toast at a time,

'cause this way you only lost one piece instead of two.

It was his toast.

And I let it burn.

It's-it's-it's no big deal.

We'll just take it out and crumble it up

and feed it to the birds. Come on.

That's okay.

I don't want to feed it to the birds.

I'm just going to eat cereal from now on.

No.

Pouring cereal into a bowl is not cooking.

Making toast, now, that's cooking.

You love making toast.

And we love when you make toast.

- We... I do, anyway. - Oh, yeah.

It's not your fault, Sam. It's Ruthie's fault.

It's nobody's fault.

It's just a piece of toast. It's nothing.

Maybe it's a sign from God that Sam shouldn't make toast.

Or maybe it's a sign from God

that the birds are hungry and need to be fed.

Not that you believe in signs.

Not that I do, and, in fact, I don't.

Why wouldn't God want me to make toast?

'Cause you burn it.

It has to be here.

It has to.

T BONE: And if we can't find it, I'll just...

get you another one.

Another one?

There's not another one.

I'm pretty sure there is.

Well, I'm pretty sure there isn't.

That's the diamond in my first diamond ring.

I don't want it replaced. I want to find it.

Well, I want to find it, too.

What does that mean?

That I want to find the diamond.

Just as much as you want to find the diamond.

Kind of like you wanted to get a tattoo

just as much as I wanted to get a tattoo?

I never said I wanted to get a tattoo.

I said I would get a tattoo.

And I did.

Yeah, that postage stamp on your ankle

barely counts as a tattoo.

Barely, but it counts.

Although, it's certainly not as nice as your tattoo.

No, it's not.

I want that diamond.

- All right. - You keep saying that.

I don't know what else to say.

Look, if there's no diamond, there's no ring,

and if there's no ring, there's no promise,

and if there's no promise, then we're never getting married.

Whoa.

Whose rules are those?

Is that Vulcan logic or something?

How are we supposed to get married and have a life together

if we can't even keep the diamond in my ring?

I don't really see how an itsy-bitsy diamond

falling out of your ring has anything to do

with our getting married and having a life together.

It does. It has everything to do with it.

Oh, okay, sorry.

Well, then, let's find that diamond.

Okay. If anyone should be giving anyone else that look,

don't you think it should be me glaring at you?

I mean, you lost the stupid thing.

Oh, so now it's my fault if we break up?

And now we're breaking up.

I don't know.

All I know is we don't have a chance of ever being together

if I don't get that diamond back in my ring.

But if we find it,

I just know that everything will work out fine.

And if we don't...

if we don't, I don't know what will happen.

How about nothing?

How about nothing's going to happen?

How about things are going to be the same

as they were before you lost the diamond?

No, they won't.

Help!

Thanks, guys. I appreciate the help.

Don't worry. We'll find it, T Bone.

Yeah, don't worry.

Not worried.

RUTHIE: And why is that?

Just, uh, reassuring the little guys.

Hey, what's going on?

We're looking for the diamond that fell out of Ruthie's ring.

- Did Ruthie ask you to look for the diamond? -Yes.

It was a little bit more than an ask.

But we're happy to help.

We owe you our lives.

Ruthie said that? That you owe us your lives?

Well, you don't owe us anything.

It was our pleasure to help you when you needed help.

Okay. Where's Eric?

He's sitting on the back steps.

Still?

I saw you looking at me.

BOTH: We weren't looking at you.

Especially me.

You have to get dressed and get out of here.

Red is waiting for you.

You told him that you'd visit him this morning.

I'll just tell him I came over.

You know, he won't know.

He-he... he doesn't remember that I was there last week,

or the week before, or the week before that.

Eric Camden!

You get up and go over to that poor man's house!

He's expecting you.

Or, as I pointed out,

he may not be expecting me.

I just, I don't feel like making house calls today.

I think I'll just go back to bed.

It was...

This thing came out of nowhere.

It just appeared on the lawn like it had a purpose,

you know, a purpose in being here.

And if it had a purpose...

it was to deliver a bad message.

It was a bad omen. It was a very bad omen.

I see, so... so God doesn't do signs and wonders,

but there are bad omens.

Maybe this didn't come from God.

No, maybe this came from somewhere else

or something else.

This was an evil bird.

It was a big, black, evil bird,

and it stared at me, looked right through me

like it was piercing my soul.

A bird stared at you.

A big, black, evil bird stared at you.

Are-are you listening to yourself?

It sounds crazy, I know,

but until that big, black, evil bird stared at me,

I was sure I was going to live, you know.

I mean, not forever, but I...

was sure I was going to live for a good long time.

But the bird changed all that?

It doesn't help that you had

your own doubts this morning.

I just wanted to spend some time with you!

Because...?

I'll tell you what, you know.

Why don't you get ready, go over to Red's house,

like you promised, and I'll-I'll sit here

and wait for the bird to come, you know, and...

and I'll talk to him and see if he really knows anything.

Oh, sure, mock me, yeah.

I'm telling you, Annie,

it's as if one glance from this bird shook my entire faith.

It was that powerful. It was that clear.

This bird, this thing...

connected with me on some... kind of cosmic level

where intelligence and nature come together.

Okay, it wasn't the sign you wanted,

but this is the sign you got.

And this was what is.

I'll tell you what is.

What is, is that that bird is just a stupid bird!

That if you hadn't thrown bread crumbs in the backyard

this morning, you never would have seen him.

But you couldn't deal with the kids and the toast,

and you wanted to get out of the kitchen

'cause you were mad at me 'cause I wanted to spend time with you.

You know, and forgive me for asking for a sign.

I don't need a sign. You're fine.

You're just in a bad mood this morning.

So we'll go back to no signs. There are no signs.

I wish I could go back.

Yeah, I wish I could.

If I thought you were really dying,

do you think I would be, like,

you know, yelling at you like this?

Afraid so.

Maybe we should try another room.

Well, Ruthie said it was in here

or on the stairs or in her room.

MAC: Again, I don't know why

we have to find that particular diamond.

Because she wants that particular diamond.

She wants the diamond she lost.

Do you think it was that small in nature?

I mean, do you think somebody mined that?

I think maybe it fell out of somebody's tooth

and made its way to the jeweler.

(chuckles)

Hey, by the way, I saw you looking at us.

I wasn't looking at you or Margaret. I...

- (clears throat) - Mm-hmm.

Yeah, well, I had to have

something to do while we're down here

because we're not going to find that stupid diamond.

It's not stupid, okay?

Of course not.

I was just frustrated because we can't find it.

I want to find it.

Believe me, I'm here to find your diamond.

And I'm not going anywhere-- anywhere-- until we find it.

I'm committed.

No, you're not.

You don't even know what commitment is.

It's my diamond.

It's a real diamond.

And it might be small, but it's real,

and it belongs in my ring-- my promise ring--

because what T Bone and I have is real.

Our feelings are real. Got it?

She went out the back.

(T Bone sighs)

Yeah.

I'm just hoping she's not going to ask me

to look through the grass.

(chuckles)

Aren't you supposed to be at work?

No.

You're supposed to be.

- When? - Ten minutes.

Why didn't anybody tell me?

I always work nights on the weekends.

You work matinees.

I called in and told our boss that an emergency came up,

and I tried to leave a message on your cell phone

to let you know he'd be calling you,

and I assumed he also tried to call you.

My cell phone's not working.

What emergency?

The diamond.

Of course. The diamond.

I had it on before I went to bed.

And then I took it off to put some lotion on my hands,

and then I put it back on before I went downstairs

to get some juice.

And then I had it on when I went to bed,

and I just woke up this morning, and it was gone.

Maybe the Tooth Fairy took it.

Shut up, Kevin.

Well, did you shake out your pillow or your blanket?

"Shut up"?

I don't think so, toots.

You know what? Kevin's right.

We don't need to be telling anyone to shut up.

Especially me.

Kevin, Ruthie is really upset about losing her diamond, and...

(laughing)

It's not funny!

Kevin.

Lucy.

Well, that diamond means a lot to her.

Oh, come on. What is a promise ring, anyway?

I don't know. It means different things to different people.

Is it a promise to make a promise

- to get engaged to get married? - Well, it could be.

Or is it that they're promising to be with each other

for the rest of their lives so they can have sex right now?

Well, it could be that also, I-I guess.

I mean, most teenagers, I think, you know,

make the promise not to have sex until they're married,

and then the guy gives the girl a ring

as a symbol of that commitment.

Oh, come on. That's ridiculous.

That whole promise ring is a bunch of baloney.

With or without a diamond.

You think T Bone and Ruthie promise

not to have sex with each other until they get married,

and then he goes out and buys her a diamond ring to celebrate?

- And why not? - Because he's a guy

and he's had sex before,

so I kind of doubt he's out celebrating

not having sex again until he gets married.

Could we just change the subject before we get in an argument

over this stupid promise ring?

So you agree it's stupid.

Could we just change the subject?

All right.

How's the job hunt going?

I'm not hunting for a job.

Yeah, I know, but they're hunting for a minister.

Hear from them?

They still haven't called yet.

And if they do call?

Well, then, I'll take it as a sign

that that's God's plan for me.

God's plan?

Yeah, you know...

maybe taking on a church of my own

is something I should be doing, you know.

Helping where I'm needed.

You know, that's why they call what I do a "calling."

You don't think you're needed at your father's church?

I think my dad is perfectly capable

of running his own church without me, you know.

I... and I think his health is going to be fine.

Even if he is fine,

he's going to need your help, don't you think?

What do you mean by, "Even... even if he's fine"?

Okay, he's fine.

Well, you believe that, don't you?

I want to believe it.

Well, what's keeping you from believing it?

I don't know. His medical reports,

what his doctors are saying.

I don't care what they're saying.

- I believe he's going to be fine. -Do you?

Kevin, I-I don't believe that God

would send me to another church

if something was going to happen to my dad.

No, don't do this.

Don't cast doubts on what I believe.

I believe that my dad is going to live,

and he's going to live a long life

and a healthy and happy life,

and everything's going to be fine.

Let's not question that, okay?

In fact, you know what?

Let's go out there and lift our moods up

and, you know, do something positive.

- Come on. - Like?

Like find that diamond for Ruthie.

I'll watch Savannah. You go look for the diamond.

- I don't want to waste my time. -Oh!

(shrieks)

That's when I caught my first bullet,

right in the leg.

Went through the muscle, cartilage, uh, not the bone.

Hurt like hell.

I thought I'd die.

My buddies gave me a flask of whiskey

while one of them cleaned the wound.

I'd never tasted whiskey,

so my face turned bright red.

- That's how I got the name Red. - Oh.

Yeah. Didn't have red hair. That's what most people assume.

That my gray hair used to be red, and that's, uh...

that's how I got the name Red. But that's a false assumption.

I still can't drink whiskey.

Give me a drop,

and to this day, my face will turn red. Yeah.

That's why I became a... a beer drinker.

Mm-hmm.

My doctor doesn't approve of it, but, uh,

I like beer.

A good, strong, dark German beer.

Yeah.

Germany-- that's where I got shot.

Thought you got shot in the leg.

I did get shot in the leg.

I was in Germany. Aren't you listening?

I was just trying to make a little joke.

No, you weren't. You were just being a wiseacre.

Maybe you should try root beer.

- What? - Root beer.

You were saying your doctor didn't approve

of you drinking beer, so I was just suggesting root beer.

Oh, you were, were you?

Well, look, Reverend, I may be old,

but I ain't no sissy-drinking soda lover.

I'm sorry, Red.

I-I didn't mean to imply anything of the sort.

Yes, you did. You're in a bad mood today.

Ever tell you how I got my name?

It was in Germany.

Caught a bullet, right in the leg.

Maybe the world's coming to an end.

You-you know, a lot of people believe that.

A lot of people believe that there are signs all around us

that the world is coming to an end.

That's how people are going to know

that the world is coming to an end?

A crow is going to go door-to- door telling people that?

It was not a crow; it was a raven.

And it looked at me like...

like it had a message.

It was a bird looking for food.

Did you see that thing?

Yes, I saw it.

Kevin, you know... maybe you're right.

Maybe my dad's not all right.

Maybe he needs me.

May-maybe the church needs me.

Maybe my family needs me.

May-maybe I can't ever really leave.

Then I will.

Come on, Savannah.

What, so you're just going to go out there

with that thing out there?

Yeah.

Well...

(stammers)

See you later.

Coast is clear-- no bird.

That was not just a bird.

Two, please.

It's sold out.

Oh, it's you.

Another former boyfriend?

No, this is Martin's friend, Mac.

Don't you usually just work the night shift?

I do. Who's he?

Uh, this is a friend of mine.

Jonathan Sanderson.

Friend, interested in being more than a friend.

You dating him?

Oh, no need to panic. Martin knows.

He's, uh, babysitting.

He's got Aaron tonight.

I don't know, Sandy.

I don't know if this is a good sign.

Should you be dating someone when you want to marry Martin?

No.

I think what Sandy is saying-- or what I hope she's saying--

is that she doesn't want to marry Martin.

Okay, not that this is the time or the place to discuss this,

but he's right-- I don't want to marry Martin.

I thought Martin and I someday would get married,

but that changed.

When you met him?

Jonathan.

Sorry, I-I just...

I can't picture Sandy dating anybody else.

I mean, she was in love with Simon at one point,

but Martin is the father of her baby.

JONATHAN: I know that.

Well, I didn't know about the Simon guy,

but I do know Martin is Aaron's father.

That's a very serious thing, you know--

two people having a baby.

Yeah, I'm familiar with the problems

that come from having children outside of marriage.

- I work with single mothers. - You work with them?

I'm a resident at Hart County hospital.

You live at the hospital?

No, he's a doctor--an ob-gyn.

An "obgin"?

Yes.

He delivers babies.

He's an obstetrician-gynecologist.

Oh, no, you're not having another baby, are you?

No, I'm not having another baby.

I'm helping out at the teen home that Annie and Lucy set up.

I'm doing group sessions

and giving them my perspective on single motherhood.

I met Jonathan when he was there giving a birthing class.

I see.

No offense, but shouldn't a woman be doing that?

- We really should have left at the "sold out." -Yeah.

Hey, uh, since we're all friends now,

can I ask you a question?

Why not?

About women.

I had a feeling.

See, I'm living with these two women,

and we were crawling all over the ground

looking for this diamond,

and the one I like, who claims doesn't like me,

was checking me out, you know, from behind.

What kind of diamond?

Oh, Ruthie got a promise ring from T Bone,

and the diamond fell out.

Those two will never get married.

- I say go for it. - You think?

- Yeah. -Wait, you're not asking about Ruthie.

You're asking about one of the women you live with.

Probably Jane?

Yeah, she-she was clearly checking me out,

but she denied it.

But when I saw this little look in her eye,

like maybe she was attracted to me.

Okay, you can't date her.

You live with her.

But you can date Ruthie.

MAC: I... I can't.

She and this T Bone guy are promised.

Uh, whatever that means.

Generally, it means someone's about to break up

over the issue of sex.

Wait, when did Ruthie get a promise ring?

After she got the tattoo.

What kind of tattoo?

T Bone's name right...

...here.

Big name, big letters, big tattoo.

Well, as long as you don't have a problem

looking at another man's name on your girlfriend's butt,

I say go for it.

She and T Bone aren't going to get married.

By the way, uh,

just because Jane looked at your butt

doesn't mean she likes you.

Women just do that.

Since we have to wait for the next movie,

do you mind if we go by the Camdens'?

I want to see what's going on.

MAC: Uh, it's-it's a bad day over there. Believe me.

Ruthie's devastated over the loss of this diamond--

which, by the way, was barely visible when it was on the ring.

And some kind of big, black bird

put some bad mojo on the reverend,

and it's just bringing down the house.

Are you sure about that look from Jane?

Are you sure that it's not some sign of something going on?

Yeah.

Why don't we hang out until the next movie?

Sure.

I don't need any bad mojo from a big, black bird.

Oh, boy, look at the time.

Yeah, you know, as much as I've enjoyed

visiting with you, Red,

I, uh, have some work I need to do down at the church, so...

Ever tell you how I got my name?

Yes, you did.

Oh.

It's a... it's an interesting story.

Sorry.

It's just that I don't get visitors here very often.

Except for the kids who bring around the food.

But they don't want to hear any war stories.

I enjoy a good war story as much as the next guy.

My dad was a marine, you know.

Yeah, you told me.

Several times.

You wait here. I got something for you.

Oh, no, you really don't need to...

- You know, I... - That's okay.

Red, I don't, uh, need any kind of...

Don't worry about it.

Here. You take this.

I want you to have it.

But, Red, I-I...

What? Weren't you listening?

I got shot.

Uh, I got a Purple Heart.

Oh.

I... I can't take this, Red. You earned this.

You earned it.

You must have listened to that story 1,000 times.

I just kept repeating it

'cause I... I don't think you understand it.

It's okay to be afraid to die.

It doesn't mean you don't believe in God.

It doesn't mean anything.

It just means you want to live.

How'd you know I was having doubts about my health?

You've been living with that diagnosis of yours

for quite a while.

It's like fighting a war.

You're going to lose some battles.

You're going to have some bad days.

Doesn't mean you're going to die.

You take that Purple Heart to... to remind you of that.

(sniffles)

Maybe I don't have to be anywhere.

Sit down.

Tell me what's going on.

(sighs)

KEVIN: All right, let's tape off an area

and divide it into squares, and then go over

each square with a magnifying glass

so no area is overlooked.

(all groaning)

You guys want to find this diamond or not?

ALL: Or not.

No.

Just forget it.

We can't do this any longer.

It's gone.

And she's just going to have to deal with it.

The diamond is lost.

And it's just a diamond-- teeny, tiny diamond--

that can be replaced.

All right, everyone is dismissed

except for you, Theodore.

What? Mac has the car.

We don't have anywhere to go.

We'll wait outside.

All right, shoot.

Oh, and I... I do mean that literally.

Just, uh, shoot me.

Depends on what you have to say.

I... I appreciate the call-- I do--

but I'm going to have to think about it

and, uh, get back to you.

Would it be okay if I called you, uh, tomorrow after church?

Like around 2:00?

Oh, thank you.

Uh, and thank you so much for calling.

Okay, uh, bye.

Um... hey, um...

did you guys see anything out here,

you know, when you came out?

Like a big, black bird bearing bad tidings of doom?

(sighs) Kevin told you.

Yeah.

And your dad saw the same bird this morning.

Oh, no.

Yeah, your mom and your dad got into a big fight about it.

He thinks it's bringing him some sort of bad news.

My dad got the same feeling from that bird that I did.

Which, if we both got the same feeling, then...

Then you both must be nuts.

Or not.

Well, I guess it does sound sort of ridiculous.

But I've never seen that bird around here before.

Wait, I... I guess if it sounds ridiculous,

then... then maybe it is ridiculous.

Um, where's my dad?

He hasn't been home all day.

Oh, okay.

Okay. All right.

Wait for me here.

How come she can find a guy, but I can't?

You just got a divorce.

Oh. Right.

Maybe that should be a sign to stay away from guys for a while.

Well, if the big, black bird shows up, then I'll ask him.

Ask the bus driver.

From the look on Kevin's face,

he's turning that diamond into some kind of lesson.

Let's go. I'm willing to take the bus.

I'd be dishonest if I said I didn't want...

- Oh. Hey. - Hi. Uh...

Do you think Ruthie is making this diamond important

because she's clinging to any sign from you

that she really means something to you?

- Hi. - It's possible.

I know she can't do anything about the tattoo she got,

but I imagine it makes her feel like things are out of balance,

like... she loves you more than you love her.

Well, that's why I got her the ring.

Maybe she needs more than a ring.

I can't get another tattoo.

I... just can't.

Uh, I got the call.

Did the big, black bird tell you

to come over here and tell your parents?

- My dad's not home. - Bird tell you that?

(laughs) No. Jane and Margaret told me that.

Oh. Well, your mom's upstairs if you want to talk to her.

I mean, unless you're waiting for some...

big sign to fall out of the sky.

Sorry.

I knew you would be.

I'm not talking about your getting a bigger tattoo.

What are you talking about, then?

A sign that you really love Ruthie.

If you do really love her.

I really love her.

So, you thought it was some kind of bad omen, too?

Yeah. You know, I think we're all looking for signs,

whether anyone wants to admit it or not.

Oh, don't even bring it up-- that's how your father and I

got off to a bad start this morning.

I thought it would be nice if there was some indication

of what we're all hoping is true is true.

You know? And that's all I said.

The next thing I know, this crow is announcing

his impending doom, and it's all my fault.

Mom, it's not your fault.

You know it's not your fault.

Living with a diagnosis like Dad has

is tough on all of us.

You know, but I think we've done really well

in supporting him and each other.

But we're bound to have, you know, some days

where something goes wrong or we do or say something

that we wish we hadn't done.

And truthfully, I...

I don't think you and Dad would be arguing

if you really thought he was going to die.

Oh, Lucy, thank you.

Oh, thank you for saying that.

Because I don't think he's going to die.

(chuckles)

But I have been acting as if he's sick.

Ah, he's my husband.

He's the father of our seven children...

and I love him.

But he does make me crazy sometimes,

good heart or bad heart.

I know-- Kevin drives me crazy sometimes, too.

Well, and... and I drive him crazy.

Yeah.

Uh, you know, there's... there's something

I want to talk to you about.

Something good?

I don't know.

It... it's kind of like the crow--

it depends on how you look at it.

Or... how it looks at you.

ERIC: You know, Red, you could've mentioned to me

that you had a pet.

I appreciate your spending the day with me.

I'm feeling a lot better.

Good. Good.

Glad I can do something for someone.

Yeah, I wouldn't feel right

about taking that Purple Heart, though.

You... you earned it.

Oh, I wasn't really going to give it to you anyway.

Unless, of course, you needed it.

And you don't need it.

May I?

I want you to know that the search

for that diamond is not over.

I'm not going to stop looking for it until we find it.

Maybe we're just not meant to find it.

Maybe it was just not meant to happen.

Like us.

I had a feeling you might be thinking like that.

Oh, did you?

I know you were downstairs talking to Kevin.

Yes, Kevin and I were talking,

and, you know, Kevin actually knows a lot about relationships.

Does he?

Does he know a lot about our relationship?

He just knows stuff, okay?

About... men and women in general.

Look, Ruthie...

I gave you that ring because I felt badly

about your getting a tattoo that was...

so much bigger than the one I got.

So you didn't really promise to promise to marry me one day?

What I want...

what I really want... is...

Is sex.

Well, I won't say I don't,

but... what I want is for you to know

that... I love you.

And I mean that with all my heart.

You're the first girl--

well, woman--

that I've ever loved, and...

I want us to be together for the rest of our lives,

and I'm going to do everything I can to make that happen.

Including...

including not pressuring you to have sex.

So if you thought that that...

ring had some special meaning, like I was promising

that we wouldn't have sex until we got married,

well, that promise is good with or without the ring,

with or without the diamond in the ring.

- I love you. - I love you.

We didn't hear anything-- we covered our ears.

But I think T Bone should leave

before we have to cover our eyes.

I'm out of here.

Is this it?

Yeah. That is it.

I thought you'd be happier about it.

Well, I think I got the sign that I was looking for.

Thanks, Sam.

And David.

Sam found it.

Maybe it's a sign that he's

supposed to make the toast, after all.

ANNIE: Oh, I don't know, Lucy.

I-I... I can't imagine not having you and Kevin

and Savannah around here every day.

- So they called? - You know?

Yeah, I know.

Why didn't you tell me?

Well, I was going to tell you.

I just... I hadn't found the right time.

Well, wouldn't the right time have been this morning

when the boys were making toast?

I guess.

So maybe I'm not even the one who got you in a bad mood.

Maybe it was...

No one got me in a bad mood but me.

Dad, I-I won't even consider it if...

If I'm... going to leave?

Look, I'm-I'm... really sorry about today.

I've been having a few doubts and, uh...

And you didn't want to say so,

because you didn't want me to have any doubts.

She saw the big, black, scary bird, too,

and she thought the same thing you did.

Well, it could be a...

a coincidence that we're both insane.

Or it could be in the genes, or...

could be that you're all picking up

on some fear I wasn't expressing.

Or it could be that Red forgot to feed his crow

this morning, and, yeah, the crow wandered

around the neighborhood looking for food.

The bird was injured, and Red's been

feeding him all winter-- until this morning.

So we weren't entirely wrong.

That wasn't a happy look on that bird.

Look, Luce... (sighs)

let's-let's base what we do on what we feel inside

and what... what we know in our hearts,

not-not on anything we think might be a sign.

And, you know, it's not a bad thing to let your head

have some say in what your heart's feeling, too.

You decide what you're going to do.

You...

go and take a look at that church.

You and Kevin, you...

make up your minds together.

Either way, I'm going to be fine.

We're all going to be fine.

And I mean that like I've never meant it before.

Mmm...

(Eric chuckles)

I love you.

I love you, too.

So, was there ever a time...

if you weren't sure if you loved me or not?

In the beginning, when we first met?

- Even then, I knew. - Me, too.

Think you could get the boys

to make some toast tomorrow morning?

That was a... that was a pretty good movie.

You think so? I feel kind of depressed

about how single mothers were treated back then.

Yeah, but that was then, and this is now.

Isn't it great how things have changed for the better?

Things have changed for the better.

Is that jeweler still open?

I don't think so. Why?

I want to get you one of those promise rings.

(laughing): And why is that?

I want us to promise each other something.

And what is that?

That we give this a chance.

A real chance.

I don't want to get hurt.

I don't want to find myself

falling madly, deeply in love with you

only to... find out that you really want things

to work out with Aaron's father.

What's that look?

You actually think it's possible

for you to fall deeply and madly in love with me?

I think it's more than a possibility.

I just want to take it slow.

But at the same time, I don't want to take it so slow

that you doubt I'm really crazy about you.

Hey, look, a shooting star.

- You see it? - No.

Yeah, neither did I.

Too bad life's not like the movies.

I was hoping for the stars to cooperate

and give you this big sign that...

I'm really serious about you.

Right now, in this moment,

my life is better than any movie.

So... you don't want a promise ring?
