- Caroline Ingalls: I just hate to think that at any time my husband can at any time take anything that's mine!
- Charles Ingalls: Well my darling, if that's what's bothering you, we can just take everything we have, split it up, and put our names on it. Caroline gets the brush, Charles gets the suspenders. Caroline gets the Bible... Well, smile a little bit. It's just a joke.
- Caroline Ingalls: I don't think it's funny.
- Charles Ingalls: Alright.
- Nels Oleson: Furthermore, since I own everything...
- Harriet Oleson: You own?
- Nels Oleson: I own everything. I expect to be shown a little more respect. I want everything done my way for now on. That is the end of the discussion!
- Harriet Oleson: YOUR way?
- Nels Oleson: End of discussion! Now, if you'll just go fetch my slippers, I'll sit down and relax in my chair in my living room.
- Caroline Ingalls: While I'm gone, I want you to just be yourself and have a good time.
- Carrie Ingalls: Am I gonna have to do the cooking?
- Caroline Ingalls: Oh, no no no... You're Pa's gonna do that.
- Albert Quinn Ingalls: Well, who's going to watch Grace?
- Caroline Ingalls: Oh, your Father can attend to that.
- Carrie Ingalls: It doesn't sound like Pa's going to have much fun.
