- Laura Ingalls: Can I ride with you?
- Almanzo James Wilder: Well... I'm afraid not. I'm afraid it's too dangerous for a little girl.
- Laura Ingalls: Well, that's three things you're wrong about! One, it's not too dangerous. Two, I'm a woman. Three, I'm not a little girl.
- Almanzo James Wilder: Well... I say I'm right about all three. And that just goes to prove that women should stay in the kitchen and leave men to do the horse training...
- Almanzo James Wilder: That sure is a grown up young lady you got there.
- Charles Ingalls: Not so grown up.
