• Harriet Oleson : Well, it's just that we've become such close business associates and all that I think it would be putting unfair pressure on the man. Don't you see?

  Caroline Ingalls : Who is this man, Mrs. Olsen?

  Harriet Oleson : Mr. Sprague, of course. You can't expect the owner of the town's leading business establishment to ask for charity from the town banker. Can you?

  Caroline Ingalls : Well, I would have thought it would put you in a fine spot for a fine donation.

  Harriet Oleson : Well no. No, I'm sure... Well... No, I don't think it's proper.

  Caroline Ingalls : Well Mrs. Olsen, if you're afraid to ask Mr. Sprague, I'll be glad to ask him for you.

• Ebenezer Sprague : He sent you here to reason with me about his loan?

  Caroline Ingalls : Oh no, I'm not here about my husband's loan.

  Ebenezer Sprague : Mrs. Ingalls, I told your husband that I would have to have some time to think it over. And when I do make my decision, it will be based on sound business reasoning, not on the wiles of a woman.
