Quotes 

• Marty Claridge : I have to stay for the right reasons

  Clark Davis : Stay because I love you. I love you!

  Marty Claridge : Maybe I should stay because I love *you*.

• Clark Davis : Where did the skunk find you?

  Marty Claridge : In the barn.

  Missie Davis : We need some more tomatoes, Pa. It took a whole bushel to get her smelling this good.

• Marty Claridge : My husband Aaron loved me so much that it spilled over and made a baby.

  Missie Davis : What spilled over?

  Marty Claridge : It.

  Missie Davis : What is it?

  Marty Claridge : The love.

• Marty Claridge : The books. How did you know they were mine and not Aaron's?

  Clark Davis : Oh, well, a man would have thrown them off the wagon at the first big hill. Unless he was trying to please a stubborn woman.

• Missie Davis : Readin' ain't no adventure.

  Marty Claridge : Once you can read you can have any adventure you've ever dreamed of.

• Marty Claridge : [a letter that Marty writes to Clark]  Dear Clark, the wagon train will be leaving soon, but I don't want to go. Ask me to stay. Love, Marty.

• Marty Claridge : There is no way you're going to be my--my midwife! Find someone else!

  Clark Davis : There ain't no time for that.

  Marty Claridge : *Isn't!* I'll be fine. I'll be fine. Did you deliver Missie?

  Clark Davis : No, there was Sarah...

  Missie Davis : But Pa's delivered plenty of calves.

  Marty Claridge : [sarcastically]  Oh, that makes me feel so much better.

  Clark Davis : Missie, we'll need a lot of hot water and the shears from the barn. They'll need to be sterilized.

  Marty Claridge : Missie! Missie, don't you dare!

  [Clark gestures and tells Missie to go] 

  Marty Claridge : I would rather give birth in a field than have you in here!

  Clark Davis : Childbirth is a natural event.

  Marty Claridge : Ooooooh, if you feel what I'm feeling you'll see how natural it is. Now get out!

  [she has another contraction] 

  Marty Claridge : Oh, I can't do this alone. Please help me. Please!

  [she holds up her left hand which has her wedding ring on it] 

• Marty Claridge : I just don't understand why the God you pray to would let such unthinkable things happen to decent people.

• Marty Claridge : I might be leaving, but my love is staying here with you.
