Amelia Bevins : [visiting her father in the hospital, tearfully] Papa? You have to be all right. You have to know I love you. I... I know I hurt you, and I don't expect you to love me, but, oh Papa, so many people love you: Mama, and the blind girl, Sue... she loves you so much. So please live for them. Please!
[sobbing, resting her head on her father's chest]
John Bevins : [raising his arm, stroking Amelia's hair] Shhh. Don't cry. Don't cry, Amelia, your Papa's here. Shhh. Don't cry. Oh, look, don't cry, Amelia.
Dr. Moore : [smiling with surprise/joy that John has regained his will to live, rising from his chair]
John Bevins : [smiling slightly] Don't look so surprised that I'm alive, Doc. That's what you get paid for!
Dr. Moore : [smiling, tears in his eyes] I'll get your wife.
[enters the waiting room]
Dr. Moore : Mrs. Bevins? Your husband would like to see you now.
Bess Bevins : [smiles with joy, heads towards John's room]
Charles Ingalls : [overjoyed by the good news] I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd like a sandwich!

Bess Bevins : Please stop crying.
Amelia Bevins : [sobbing] If you could have heard them.
Bess Bevins : They didn't know, but you have to expect that sometimes from people.
Amelia Bevins : Why did we have to move here? I hate it here!
Bess Bevins : Your father had to find work, you know that.
Amelia Bevins : On the farm, we were away. The children didn't see him!
Bess Bevins : Now Amelia, I'll not have you talking like that. Your father loves you; he tries his best. It's hard sometimes, in the beginning, when people first meet. But after a while, they'll get used to it, and they won't say things anymore.
Amelia Bevins : I don't want him to meet my friends, I don't want them to see him and I don't want them to know he's my father!
[unaware that John is just outside and heard their entire conversation]
