"Little House on the Prairie" The Pride of Walnut Grove (TV Episode 1976) - Michael Landon as Charles Ingalls

Lars Hanson : We called a special meeting of the school board tonight.

Charles Ingalls : No one told me.

Lars Hanson : Yeah, well we figured it was better that way. You can be pretty stubborn at times, Charles.
Charles Ingalls : They're pretty proud of you anyway.

Mary Ingalls : You mean even though I came in second best?

Charles Ingalls : We're proud because you ARE the best!
Charles Ingalls : If doing without makes a woman stronger, you must be one of the strongest women in Minnesota.
Lars Hanson : We have a lot of pride here in Walnut Grove. And a thing like this doesn't happen very often. And the school board voted unanimously to give the money needed for the trip.

Charles Ingalls : Well, that's very kind of you, but I'm sorry...

Eva Beadle : It's not a matter of kindness, Mr. Ingalls. Believe me, there are a lot of children who go to the finals sponsored by their home towns.

Lars Hanson : How often do we get the chance to get the name Walnut Grove in the newspapers all over the state?

Eva Beadle : It's for the pride of Walnut Grove.
Laura Ingalls : Well, I'm feeling kinda jealous again.

Charles Ingalls : Jealous? What for?

Laura Ingalls : Well, I'm feeling kinda useless. I guess I'll get over it when I grow up.
