- Mary Ingalls: But you love Lord Byron!
- John Sanderson Edwards: I like Lord Byron. I love you.
- [Long silence]
- John Sanderson Edwards: I wish you'd say something.
- Mary Ingalls: I don't know what to say.
- John Sanderson Edwards: Well, do you feel anything for me?
- Mary Ingalls: Yes.
- Mary Ingalls: Is it like I said?
- John Sanderson Edwards: I think so. I can't be sure.
- John Sanderson Edwards: They say there's only one way to tell.
- Mary Ingalls: How's that?
- John Sanderson Edwards: Well... It's... to kiss.
- Mary Ingalls: I've never done that.
- John Sanderson Edwards: Me neither. But now you're going away and we'll never know.
- Mary Ingalls: I'm afraid to.
- John Sanderson Edwards: I know. But I think we need to. We have to try.
- Mary Ingalls: When I was with John Junior today, we... we kissed each other.
- Laura Ingalls: What? Kissed each other? On the mouth?
- Mary Ingalls: Of course!
- Laura Ingalls: Yuck!
- Mary Ingalls: It was not. It was... it was... Well, I can't explain it.
- Laura Ingalls: I know how it was. Yuck!
- Matthew Simms: God doesn't mind you're asking. He may not always give it to you, but He doesn't mind you asking. What he doesn't like is your pretending it's for someone else when really it's for you.
- John Sanderson Edwards: Mary, I thought about it a lot. And there's only one thing we can do.
- Mary Ingalls: What's that?
- John Sanderson Edwards: Get married.
- Mary Ingalls: What?
- John Sanderson Edwards: That's right. If your Pa's set on leaving, he'll just have to leave without you.
- Charles Ingalls: I just realized something. I just made the decision to sell this place all by myself. I never even asked you. I made that decision all by myself.
