- Adam Kendall: Don't use your fingers.
- Mary Ingalls: If you don't like watching a blind person eat, why don't you just get out?
- Adam Kendall: All you think about is being blind. You happen to be a perfectly normal person who just happens not to be able to see with her eyes. When are you gonna get on with living?
- Mary Ingalls: Get out!
- Adam Kendall: Pitying yourself won't help. Blind people are just as good or as bad as everybody else. You're not special.
- Mary Ingalls: I told you to get out!

- Adam Kendall: The roast beef was good. You'll find the towels on the shelf in the closet. This is your room as long as you're here. You make a mess, you clean it up.
- Adam Kendall: I'm looking for a... Mary Ingalls. Got one in here?
- Mary Ingalls: I'm Mary Ingalls.
- Adam Kendall: Uh huh. I thought so. Well, allow me to introduce myself. Adam Kendall, your teacher. Now I'm here, Miss Ingalls, to escort you to your room.
