• Charles Ingalls : Mr. Gray?

  Matt Gray : I thought you were going off to pray.

  Charles Ingalls : Well, I just wanted to apologize for the actions of my future son-in-law. He just doesn't understand you're a business man and these things happen. He's just a boy, you know what I mean?

  Matt Gray : I suppose.

  Charles Ingalls : It's like when you made that offer... it was a very generous offer of a hundred dollars for his crop... that was a hundred dollars, wasn't it?

  Matt Gray : That's right.

  Charles Ingalls : Well, when you made that offer he really got upset. See, he was planning on taking the money from the crop and pay off the note... Buy a house for my daughter and himself and live on the land for the rest of their lives. I mean, you can't blame him for being upset.

  Matt Gray : 'Course. But it's business.

  Charles Ingalls : Well, I know that and you know that, but like I said he's just a boy. I mean, he's ornery and he's hot-headed, you know. Hey, you know who he reminds me off? His future father in law.

  [Punches Graves so hard that he falls to the ground] 

  Charles Ingalls : . You know when he's going to sell you that crop for a hundred dollars? When hell freezes over!
