[after seeing the lonely Dakota prairies, Britta wants to return to Sweden]

Gustav Olaffson : I never should have brought her here. I thought she was different. I thought she was strong. I thought - I thought she would like it.

[Gustav meets his fiancée from Sweden at the stagecoach depot]

Gustav Olaffson : Ve go now. Ve must hurry, the preacher is waiting.

Britta Olaffson : The preacher is waiting?

Gustav Olaffson : Ja, sure - so we can be married.

Britta Olaffson : But I just got here!

Gustav Olaffson : It is why you are here - to marry me.

Britta Olaffson : Gustav, it has been seven years! I thought we had time to get acquainted.

Gustav Olaffson : It is a long way to the farm. It will be two weeks before I come back to town. We get married now. We get acquainted later.
Dan Brown : A quarrel so soon, Gustav?

Gustav Olaffson : Britta did not wish to stay.

Dan Brown : Well, I can say as I blame her. Still it's a shame her comin' all the way out here and all. I guess there ain't nothin' you can do about it.

Gustav Olaffson : Nooo.

Dan Brown : They say sometimes if you tie 'em up for a few days, they change their mind.

Gustav Olaffson : That is for a rancher. I don't want a wife I can only keep with a rope.
