Catherine Hicks: Annie Camden

Quotes 

• Annie Camden : I'm quitting school.

  Rev. Eric Camden : What?

  Annie Camden : I'm quitting school. No more college.

  Rev. Eric Camden : I didn't know how much teaching meant to you.

  Annie Camden : Well, it's not the teaching really. It's being around kids. You know how much I've always loved having children in my life, working with them, helping them. You know, in a couple of years, Sam and David... they'll be in school. Ruthie's doing great, Simon's in high school, Robbie and Lucy are in college, Mary's in New York and Matt's going off to medical school, So our kids need me, but they don't need me. If I teach every year, I'll have a new batch of kids who I'll need to help the way I helped our kids. It's the perfect job for me. All I have to do is take what I've been doing at home for the last 20 years and put it in the classroom. I can do it. I think I'll be good at it.

  Rev. Eric Camden : I'll help. I've always supported you in whatever you wanted to do. I love you. I want you to be happy.

  Annie Camden : I want to be happy too.

• Rev. Eric Camden : We haven't spent time together for a long time.

  Annie Camden : It's been a week.

  Rev. Eric Camden : A week is a long time when you're in love.

• Matt Camden : [Proudly announces]  I'm gonna be... a gynecologist.

  [Walks out] 

  Annie Camden : [to Eric]  Well, he does love women.

• Annie Camden : Lately, with all the changes I've been going through I found that sometimes I'm more comfortable in the company of women. I love you, but you know, sometimes I need to talk to a woman.

  Rev. Eric Camden : 2Eric: Why is that?

  Annie Camden : I don't know. Women: we're all part of a club. Rich, poor, fat, thin, happy, unhappy. We're all going through the same things and you can be a lot of things for me, but no matter how hard you try, you'll never be a woman.

  Rev. Eric Camden : Never wanted to be until now.
