Quotes
-
Mrs. Ellison : Josie, what are you doing with that pony?
Josie Ellison : I'm coming out riding with you.
James Ellison : Josie, you can't.
Josie Ellison : Yes, I can. I often used to ride without stirrups.
Mrs. Ellison : I know, darling, but now you must...
Josie Ellison : It's only a matter of balance. I *know* I can do it.
James Ellison : Bluey, take the pony back inside.
Josie Ellison : No, Dad! Dad, I'm going to...
James Ellison : Bluey.

Mrs. Ellison : James, if you're going into town, could you stop by the Quayles and ask if Jeannie Quayle could come to tea on Sunday?
James Ellison : Yes, of course.
Mrs. Ellison : Josie really hasn't enough to do. It's so difficult. There are so few children around here that she can associate with.
James Ellison : Quayle's something of a troublemaker.
Mrs. Ellison : But Jeannie's a nice little girl. Quite ladylike. Where is Josie? I thought she was here with you.
James Ellison : She's doing her lessons, isn't she?
Mrs. Ellison : No, she'd be finished by now.
[Suddenly they hear Josie screaming]
-
Mrs. Ellison : You must promise me, darling, that you won't ride again.
Josie Ellison : No!
James Ellison : Josie, you must. You could've been killed.
Josie Ellison : I won't be stuck in that house all the time, I won't! And I hate that wheelchair.
James Ellison : Josie, we'll manage something. I promise we will.
-
Bluey Waters : Look at her go!
James Ellison : I just realized how light that buggy is with only Josie in it.
Mrs. Ellison : But look what she's doing now! James, she's going to...
James Ellison : I know, but she must learn for herself what she can and what she can't do.
Mrs. Ellison : Not Josie. What she can't do, she'll simply try to do.
-
Mrs. Ellison : I haven't seen her so happy since - since it happened.
Josie Ellison : Isn't he wonderful?
James Ellison : Josie, I'm going to enter you for best pony turnout at the town carnival. You think you'll win?
Josie Ellison : Bo can win anything.
