Father Murphy

John Michael Murphy:
[after Fr. Parker brings back a horse instead of money] I told him don't take less than $65. I just didn't think to say don't take a horse.

Will Adams:
[talking about Ephram's sister Liz] How did you know i kissed her on the mouth?

Ephram Winkler:
Cause I heard her telling the girls.

Will Adams:
She told? I thought just boys told.

Ephram Winkler:
Heck no. Girls tell each other everything.

Mae Woodward:
[after the kids bring the horse in the schoolroom] What is going on? Will someone please answer me.

Laddie the horse:
[neighs]

Mae Woodward:
Someone else, thank you.

Mae Woodward:
Matt, what are you doing up? You should have been in bed long ago.

Matt Sims:
[sad face] Couldn't sleep.

Mae Woodward:
Did you try lying down and closing your eyes?

Matt Sims:
[smile] Yes ma'am.

Mae Woodward:
Are you picking out names for the baby?

Josephine:
No. Henrietta Louise is already taking care of that for me. If it's a boy, it's to be Henry. If it's a girl, Louise. One way or another, it will be named after Henrietta Louise.

John Michael Murphy:
[Murphy dressed up for wedding, standing on the porch] Moses, I can't wear this outfit, I'm all trussed up like a turkey.

Will Adams:
You know, you kinda look like one too. [first Time Gibbs voice starts breaking]

Mae Woodward:
[after a fumbled Murphy proposal] I'd be proud to.

John Michael Murphy:
What?

Ephram Winkler:
She said YES!

Mae Woodward:
[Philbert leaving Gold Hill] I am sure gonna miss Philbert.

Moses Gage:
Yeah me too... but I'm kinda glad his mother is gone.

Moses Gage:
[Philbert hugging himself] Are you cold? Why are you holding yourself like that?

Philbert Potts:
Oh. Just a little habit I picked up.

Moses Gage:
[Preparing for the visit of a rich woman] Everybody on good behavior. This is a very fancy lady.

Will Adams:
I thought you told me fancy ladies worked in saloons.

Ephram Winkler:
[3 boys discussing what the ad should contain for the woman for Moses] Well, she should be strong enough to handle a plow and have good strong teeth.

Matt:
Ephram, we're sending for a bride, not a horse.

Eli:
You know, as Grumpy as Mr. Gage has been lately, Mr. Murphy as been the opposite, always smiling and joking around. Seems like that comes from being married.

Moses Gage:
[Looking in the mirror] Now who in tarnation would want a picture of that?

Ephram Winkler:
[Discussing the naming of the new baby] I'm warning you, she's not going to like Catherine Ann.

Lizette Winkler:
How can anyone called Ephram know a good name when he hears it?

Polly:
Will, she's been more mother to me than anyone ever has. You don't have to be blood kin to stay together.

Mr. Rodman:
Archibald, what have you been blamed for that you didn't do?

Archibald Rodman:
My homework.
