Quotes 

• Lois Lane : I'm a little squeamish when it comes to the slaughtering of the fatted calf. So just tell your parents "thank you", okay? I-I'm gonna go.

  Charlotte Cavanaugh : We'll never let you leave.

  Lois Lane : What?

  Charlotte Cavanaugh : You've been chosen. Just like my sister. This was your last supper.

• Ruth Cavanaugh : It would be bad luck for a guest to leave our table early on the night of the harvest celebration.

  Lois Lane : Oh. As long as we hit the road as soon as we're finished. I would love to stay and see the festivities one day. I bet that's a lot of fun.

  Joseph Cavanaugh : Fun has nothing to do with it. We glorify the day we were shown the Lord's sign.

  Lois Lane : What exactly... was the sign?

  Joseph Cavanaugh : A fire came from the heavens to tear down our village.

  Ruth Cavanaugh : And our daughter, Esther, was taken from us. She was... ringin' the town bell to warn everyone of the danger. She was struck down where she stood.

  Lois Lane : Oh, I am so sorry. That's awful.

  Joseph Cavanaugh : Before that, we suffered a terrible drought and years of bad crops. People were hungry and sick. But our daughter gave her life so that we could all prosper.

  Charlotte Cavanaugh : Ever since, our crops have been bountiful, and our people never get sick.

  Joseph Cavanaugh : Amen.

  Lois Lane : And you think this happened because your daughter died. I'm pretty sure that didn't make it into the... Good Book I read.

  Joseph Cavanaugh : I don't expect you to understand. You're not a Believer. But every year since her death, we have offered our Lord a sacrifice. And he has rewarded us.

• Lois Lane : Look at you drive that horse. At your age, the best I could do was drive my dad crazy. Lucky for me, you were around. So, how much longer before our carbon-free hayride gets us to the train station?

  Charlotte Cavanaugh : Oh... not much. But I'm not allowed to go into town. My father will give you the ride from here.

  Lois Lane : As long as I can make the express back to cover the rally, I'm happy. I am not gonna miss out on a front page story just because he thinks I can't take care of myself.

• Lois Lane : So, your town is... quaint. How many people live out here?

  Charlotte Cavanaugh : Our whole congregation. We're Believers. Father bought this land long before I was born and moved his flock here from Idaho so we could all live together.

• Charlotte Cavanaugh : Oh, praise the Lord! You're okay!

  Clark Kent : It's okay. There's nothing a mechanic can't fix. Do you know where there's one nearby?

  Charlotte Cavanaugh : Um... up the road a bit, in Meeker Springs.

  Clark Kent : Thanks. All right, Lois, well, if we leave now, we'll be back in a flash.

  Lois Lane : [teasing him]  Oh, but, Clark, I'm such a delicate flower. I will... I will wilt in that heat. I think I'll just stay with, um...

  Charlotte Cavanaugh : Charlotte, ma'am. I got some fresh, squeezed lemonade, if you like.

  Lois Lane : Ah! Lovely. So we will have a big glass as we damsels in distress wait for Clark to... come rescue us.

  Clark Kent : Lois, is there a problem?

  Lois Lane : Okay. First it's not safe in the Asphalt jungle and now I'm at risk in Green Acres?

  Clark Kent : Look, we're in the middle of nowhere.

  Lois Lane : You think horse-and-buggy girl is gonna hurt me? What is she gonna do, dimple me to death?
