Stephen Collins: Rev. Eric Camden

Quotes 

• Rev. Eric Camden : [about Mary]  You know, she quit her job at the pool hall, she quit her job at Pete's Pizza. She doesn't have any friends... well, not any good ones. She needs a job.

  Annie Camden : Yes, Mary needs a job, and money, and friends... good ones. But she has bills to pay. She also needs to take a job to pay those bills. And the job she takes probably won't be a job she loves or even likes. And then she'll see how important it is to have a job you love. And jobs people love usually involve training and/or education. That will force her to set goals and move forward.

  Rev. Eric Camden : Are you just going to will her into this realization?

  Annie Camden : She's not on our schedule. We need to give her time. She'll realize it when she realizes it.

  Rev. Eric Camden : In the meantime, no job plus no money equals no car, right? I mean, if she can't pay for the car, she'll lose it.

  Annie Camden : So let her lose the car.

  Rev. Eric Camden : This isn't about losing Mary's car. This is about losing Mary!

  Annie Camden : You think I don't know that? You know, just because I'm not a minister or a therapist doesn't mean I don't know when she's in trouble. I'm her mother! And I think she needs to be the one to ask for help, and she's not ready yet!

  Rev. Eric Camden : Well, I'm her father, and I say she needs help now, whether she asks for it or not!

  Annie Camden : What you mean to say is that you're the expert, and what you say goes!
