The High Cost of Being Right (1977)

Michael Landon: Charles Ingalls

Quotes 

• Laura Ingalls : Why do people get divorced?

  Charles Ingalls : I don't know, lots of reasons I guess. I don't think we even know anybody that's been divorced.

  Laura Ingalls : I wish we still didn't.

• Judge Picker : [in response to Charles bursting out in laughter during the Garveys' divorce hearing]  You better tell me why you're laughing!

  Charles Ingalls : He says that she says, that he said, she said... You didn't... She didn't say you were crazy, you said you were crazy.

  Jonathan Garvey : Well, what did she say?

  Charles Ingalls : [Still laughing uncontrollably]  I don't know what she said.

  [Charles' laughter is catching. Soon, they are all laughing about it. Suddenly, the Garveys are in each other's arms, still laughing] 

  Judge Picker : [bangs his gavel]  I want everyone to remain very calm.

  [laughter continues] 

  Judge Picker : I only want to know... are we... or are we not getting a divorce?

  Jonathan Garvey : Well... I don't know. Are you?

  [Increased laughter] 

  Judge Picker : Mr. Garvey, I'm going to concur with the general consensus. Your wife did not tell you you're crazy... But I am! I'm telling all of ya... You're crazy!
