• Glenn Morley : She doesn't know anything about politics. How can she, I ask you, be expected to give of such things as the minimum wage bill, the full employment bill, the Missouri Valley, the Columbia Valley authorities amendments, the permanent MBPC, atomic bomb control, poll tax, national... , well a hundred other things.

  Katrin Holstrom : Can you?

  Glenn Morley : That's beside the point. I am already a congressman.

• Agatha Morley : What do you do, Katrin?

  Katrin Holstrom : Well, at home I do everything. Make six beds every morning. Do washing, ironing for mama, papa, my three brothers, myself. Clean all seven rooms and do dishes of course. And, I help mama with the canning. I preserve meat, candle eggs, dill pickles, smoke ham and bacon. I wait on tables - 40 hands at harvest time. And I make glogg.

  Agatha Morley : You do?

  Katrin Holstrom : Yah, at Christmas time, with a hot poker. You want to know what I do outside?

  Glenn Morley : I don't know about my mother, but I'd be fascinated.

  Katrin Holstrom : Well, I plow with horse and tractor. I hoe potatoes, shock wheat, milk cows, bed horses, butcher pigs, kill and dress chickens, and I cut wood for mill and stove.

  Agatha Morley : You've got a job, Katrin.
