- Laura Ingalls Wilder: [after Mrs. Oleson reads a postcard Almanzo sent to Laura] Mrs. Oleson!
- Harriet Oleson: Yeah?
- Laura Ingalls Wilder: You are *more* than welcome to read my mail. But, I'd like to have the chance to read it first.
- Almanzo James Wilder: You know what I really dream about?
- Laura Ingalls Wilder: It used to be me.
- Almanzo James Wilder: Oh Sweetheart, it still is. And the baby, and all the other babies we're going to have and all their babies and everything we're going to leave them.
- Laura Ingalls Wilder: Ma, I'm no special case.
- Caroline Ingalls: Being pregnant makes you a special case!
- Laura Ingalls Wilder: I have enough to worry about than to worry that my father and husband could be massacred at any minute!
