Mackenzie Rosman: Ruthie Camden

Quotes 

• Lucy Camden : [to Ruthie]  You told your principal that I have a learning disability, Simon doesn't talk, Matt lives in his car, Dad lost his job and Mom drinks? And how am I responsible for this?

  Ruthie Camden : Your friend Mike. He said that if people felt sorry for us, then they'd stop gossiping about Mary. So that's what I did to make people feel sorry for us.

  Lucy Camden : Well, you made your principal feel sorry for us.

  Ruthie Camden : No, just like Mike said, I told someone in authority, someone people listen to. Mrs. McCool will tell other people. It'll work.

  Lucy Camden : I notice that you didn't tell your principal that you have any problems.

  Ruthie Camden : My problem is that I have you guys for a family!

• Lucy Camden : [to Ruthie]  I don't even want to know what Mom and Dad are going to do when they find out what you did.

  Ruthie Camden : They're gonna thank me! They didn't like people talking bad about Mary, either.

  Lucy Camden : I don't think they're going to thank you.

• Rev. Eric Camden : [to Ruthie]  We talked to Mrs. McCool.

  Annie Camden : Why would you make up stories about the family like that?

  Ruthie Camden : I thought that if I got people to feel sorry for us, they'd stop talking about Mary. I thought that if Mary knew everyone was talking about her, she wouldn't want to come home. I'm still mad at her for messing up, but I want her to come home.
