- Charles Ingalls: Well, at least my daughter's showing a little good common sense, huh?
- Caroline Ingalls: Your daughter... And I supposed that if she said 'Yes Almanzo, I'd love to go to the church social with you,' she would've been my daughter.
- Charles Ingalls: Right.
- Charles Ingalls: I have a terrible feeling I'm about to lose a daughter.
- Caroline Ingalls: I hope so. Well... I'm dying to call you grandpa.
- Charles Ingalls: Same to you, Grandma!
- Laura Ingalls: My Pa doesn't like my new hairstyle. He says it makes me look too mature.
- Almanzo James Wilder: Well, I think it looks real nice.
- Laura Ingalls: Thank you. Do you think it makes me look too mature?
- Almanzo James Wilder: No, I don't think it makes you look mature at all.
- Laura Ingalls: [Disappointed] Thank you.
- Laura Ingalls: What's wrong?
- Almanzo James Wilder: Nothing. Nothing's wrong. It's just...
- Laura Ingalls: Just...?
- Almanzo James Wilder: Nothin'.
- [Grins, then helps Laura into buggy. Gets in buggy then just stares at Laura]
- Laura Ingalls: Now there is too something wrong. What is it?
- Almanzo James Wilder: You look different. You look older.
- Laura Ingalls: Well... I am... a week older.
- Almanzo James Wilder: Yeah.
- Almanzo James Wilder: Your Pa told me I should ask you if you'd like to come with me to the church social this Friday night.
- Laura Ingalls: He did?
- Almanzo James Wilder: I mean... I... I asked his permission to ask you.
- Laura Ingalls: You did?
- Almanzo James Wilder: How about it?
- Laura Ingalls: Well... I'll have to think about it, Manley.
- Almanzo James Wilder: Oh.
- Laura Ingalls: Can I let you know Friday?
- Almanzo James Wilder: Sure.
