Help! (2000)

Mackenzie Rosman: Ruthie Camden

Quotes 

• Rev. Eric Camden : [to Ruthie]  Actually, your principal called this morning, and you're not in any trouble. He thinks he may have found a way to get you out of Miss Riddle's class.

  Ruthie Camden : Thank God!

  Rev. Eric Camden : What did you say?

  Ruthie Camden : Thank God. You should thank God. I talked to God and told him how unhappy I was at school, and asked Him to help.

  Rev. Eric Camden : You prayed to get out of Miss Riddle's class?

  Ruthie Camden : If you don't ask, you don't get. I just thought you and Mom could use some help.

• Ruthie Camden : [to her parents as they are visiting Eleanor Roosevelt School]  They have horses! Horses!

  Mrs. Carmen Mackoul : [to Eric and Annie]  The school offers both English and western style instruction.2

  Ruthie Camden : And there's no homework!

  Mrs. Carmen Mackoul : We feel the children work hard during the day. At night, they should be free to relax and be kids. After all, we do have them seven hours a day. Of course, if Ruthie would like to spend time at home studying any subject beyond the core curriculum, we'll set up an individual program for her.

  Ruthie Camden : I may want to do that, considering I don't have to be at school until ten!

  Mrs. Carmen Mackoul : [laughs]  We have a flexible schedule. Students can start as late as ten, but then they go until five. Not every student does his or her best work early in the morning. Plus, we have a 14 to 1 student ratio and a whole list of after-school trips and projects. Last year, we took a group of students to the National Gallery in Washington, D.C. and met the President. I think that Ruthie would make a wonderful addition to our school. If you have any questions, please call.

  Rev. Eric Camden , Annie Camden : Thank you.

  [shakes her hand] 

  Mrs. Carmen Mackoul : Bye, Ruthie.

  [leaves] 

  Ruthie Camden : Boy, when God answers a prayer, he answers a prayer!

  Rev. Eric Camden : Does that mean you want to go to school here?

  Annie Camden : Oh, yeah!

• Ruthie Camden : [to Eric]  So did you get me transferred out of Miss Riddle's class?

  Rev. Eric Camden : Yeah. I think I did.

  Ruthie Camden : You and God make a great team!

• Lucy Camden : [to Ruthie]  If you got into that school, you should be honored. You should go.

  Ruthie Camden : No, I will not go! You cannot make me! I'm just going to run away.

  Lucy Camden : If you run away, you'll still have to make all new friends.

  Ruthie Camden : No, I won't. My friend Sarah will come with me and we'll join the circus, and when we're old enough we'll marry clowns!

  Lucy Camden : You have put way too much thought into this whole thing.

  Ruthie Camden : Why has God forsaken me? Why?
