- Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] I will never forget the first time I took a girl to a motion picture show. Her name was Sarah and she lived on the other side of Waltons Mountain in a little back-woods hollow; and what happened was more astonishing to me than anything I could have imagined if I tried to write a story about such an innocent pleasure.
- Mrs. Maybelle Simmons: John-Boy Walton, I want to know what happened in the back of that truck!
- John-Boy Walton: Well I do too ma'am! I do too!
