- Willimena Josephine 'Billie Jo' Bradley #1: Ma, the train's comin'!
- Kate Bradley: Yeah, I heard it.
- Kate Bradley: [to her three daughters] In the water tower again, weren't you?
- Elizabeth Josephine 'Betty Jo' Bradley Elliott: Yes.
- Kate Bradley: Some day that train's gonna sneak in, drain all the water before you can get out and leave you high, dry and bare!
- Floyd Smoot: I wonder what kind of engines they're runnin' on the main line now.
- Charley Pratt: I wouldn't know, Floyd. It must be twenty years since we've seen the main line.
- Floyd Smoot: Yeah! You reckon they'll ever put that trestle back up so we can get there?
- Charley Pratt: No. Floyd, if you ask me, the folks have forgotten all about us at the C & F.W.
- Elizabeth Josephine 'Betty Jo' Bradley Elliott: As far as I'm concerned, Billie Jo can have the boys. I'm in love with the Hooterville Cannonball!
- [last lines]
- Kate Bradley: [to the Cannonball] Don't you worry, old girl. We've been through a lot together and we'll get through this, too.
