- Bartholomew 'Bart' Slater, Jr.: Don't call me Bartholomew, Shorty!
- Albert Quinn Ingalls: Don't call me Shorty, Bartholomew!
- Eliza Jane Wilder: I will miss all of you very much. Or should I say, I will miss some of you. I see no use in trying to teach in unteachable circumstances, so I will dismiss you all until tomorrow. I apologize, not only for myself, but for the school board which allowed themselves to be bullied by a wealthy fool.
- Bartholomew 'Bart' Slater, Jr.: You watch what you say about my Pa!
- Eliza Jane Wilder: How did you know I was talking about your father? Was it the word 'wealthy' or the word 'fool?'
- Bartholomew 'Bart' Slater, Jr.: Goin' to school is lots of fun. From laughing we have gained a ton. We laugh until we have a pain at lazy, lousy Eliza Jane! See you in school, Eliza Jane!
- Carrie Ingalls: And Albert, what are you doing with that paper rock you made? I'll play catch with you while Laura goes to feed the baby. You better, Laura, or I'll tell Ma you used up all the glue on Albert's face!
