- Laura Ingalls Wilder: And obviously the bravest since only yesterday, you saved your sister's life by leaping onto the back of a runaway horse, and you practically tore his ears off trying to get him to stop?

- Albert Quinn Ingalls: Can I call you Pa again?
- Charles Ingalls: Yeah. But not in front of the conductor.
