Quotes 

• Isaiah Edwards : Doc ain't slept a wink. I never seen a man work so hard.

  [Harriet scoffs] 

  Isaiah Edwards : 'Course some folks don't care if he kills himself trying to save that child.

  Mrs. Oleson : Whatever caused him to do that, Mr. Edwards, will never make up for what he didn't do.

  Nelson "Nels" Oleson : I'll get your order.

  Isaiah Edwards : [About Harriet]  Like talking to a Chinese pack mule.

  Mrs. Oleson : What did you say?

  Isaiah Edwards : You heard me.

  Mrs. Oleson : You're rude.

  Isaiah Edwards : You're ugly.

• Mrs. Oleson : [About the mule Doc Baker treated]  And he's got a jackass for a patient.

  Isaiah Edwards : That's right. He's got you, and the mule too.

  Mrs. Oleson : Oh shut up, you old reprobate!

  Isaiah Edwards : [Laughs]  And you're still ugly!

  Mrs. Oleson : Shut up!

• Mrs. Oleson : [to Nels about Doc Baker]  That man should thank his stars that he is walking around free, and not behind bars where he belongs. Why, he as much as murdered Laura's child!

  Nelson "Nels" Oleson : That's not true!

  Mrs. Oleson : It is true! And Laura herself believes it!

  Nelson "Nels" Oleson : Laura is a disturbed person! A person in her condition has got to have somebody to blame. Time will bring her around, but you have no reason to...

  Mrs. Oleson : You listen to me, Nels Oleson and you listen with both of your ears! The town has turned against Doc Baker.

  Nelson "Nels" Oleson : With no small thanks to you, I'm sure.

  Mrs. Oleson : Because he's incompetent, that's why! Can't you get it through your head? I will never and our children will never go into his office ever again because if we do, that's irresponsible!
