- Johnny Johnson: Boy Laura, you know, you ain't nothing like the other girls.
- Laura: I'm not?
- Johnny Johnson: No. You're... You're different.
- Laura: You really think so, Johnny?
- Johnny Johnson: Sure I do. You know, I don't know another girl in the whole school who can put a wiggly worm on a hook the way you do.
- Caroline Ingalls: Well Charles, I can remember chasing somebody when I was younger than Laura is.
- Charles Ingalls: I even remember slowing down so you can catch me.
- Charles Ingalls: Well, I don't like him.
- Caroline Ingalls: Why Charles Ingalls, you said yourself what a nice boy he is!
- Charles Ingalls: Well, that's when I thought he was a boy! He's fifteen years old, Caroline. He's not a boy anymore. That's a man! Do you know what a fellow's like when he's fifteen years old?
- Caroline Ingalls: No Charles, you tell me. What were you like when you were fifteen?
- Charles Ingalls: I'll go see to the stock.
- Laura: [referring to Johnny Johnson] I think he's the best looking boy in the whole school.
- Mary Ingalls Kendall: That's not saying much!
