• Nellie Oleson : Who's going to do the cooking?

  Mrs. Oleson : What?

  Nellie Oleson : I said, who's going to do the cooking?

  Mrs. Oleson : Well darling, who's name is on the window?

  Nels Oleson : Was on the window.

  Mrs. Oleson : Oh Nels, please!

  Nellie Oleson : Mother, I don't like to cook.

  Mrs. Oleson : I know darling. You don't like to cook at home. But after all, this is your own, very own restaurant!

  Nels Oleson : Mother, I don't like cooking... At home or here!

• Mrs. Oleson : Now, Nellie dear... I want you to understand what it means to have an establishment such as this - what the advantages are in having it. When I first met your father, I had a small mercantile business. Of course, he was quite smitten with me when he first laid eyes on me. But... well, having such a business... Well, it rather helped getting married, shall I say. Of course, I realize that there are many young men around Hero Township that have their cap set for you. But, maybe they're just shy. Or perhaps they're just afraid that they can't support you in the manner in which you're accustomed. Do I make myself clear, Nellie?

  Nellie Oleson : Yes, Mother.

  Mrs. Oleson : Good. Now, do you like y our gift?

  Nellie Oleson : Yes, Mother.

  Mrs. Oleson : Good. Now, are there any more questions?

  Nellie Oleson : Yes.

  Mrs. Oleson : Mm?

  Nellie Oleson : Who's going to do the cooking?
